  &quot;Your body is not my business... but let me tell you how mad I am that you&apos;re doing something with your body I don&apos;t approve of.&quot; Be so for real.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSluNPACvr8&amp;t=1465">24:25</a> -The idea of saying &apos;Our Body&apos; when referring to two separate bodies (the body of the influencer and the body of a follower) is some crazy parasocial relationship MESS.

  That last lady doesn&apos;t make any sense. She says she&apos;s &quot;genuinely comfortable&quot; being overweight and that the people taking glp-1s are hypocrite, which she says she is not. But then she casually mentions she has already tried the medication and the only reason she didn&apos;t stay on it long enough to lose weight was because her body didn&apos;t agree with it. So if she didn&apos;t get any side effects from it, she would&apos;ve continued using it, and would now be skinny. She just glosses over this and never explains why she tried it in the first place. Could it be because she wanted to... gasp... lose weight? So who is the hypocrite here lol

  The phrase “our body” made me twitch. If you’re watching someone and feeling some sense of ownership over them because you’re a similar weight, that’s not a great sign for how you view creators.

  I have started going to the gym to lose weight cause i am DISABLED. Losing weight will help my disability. Anyone saying “oh being fat is good!” NO. No it isnt! Being a bit overweight yes! But if it starts hurting you NO!

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSluNPACvr8&amp;t=392">6:32</a> hi guys! Just wanted to pop in and add that food pantries are always looking for volunteers to help customers, stock shelves, sort, unload delivery trucks etc. if you can’t donate monetarily, want to help, and have a couple free hours a week please look into volunteering.

  My body isn’t something I love, it is something I am responsible for. It is something I care for. Not everything I care for is something I love. Feeling that strongly about everything in life is exhausting.

  The argument that you cant change yourself because you&apos;ll make others upset is the most disgusting mindset. Nothing pisses me off quite like that talking point

  I&apos;m not afraid to gain more weight than I already have because of how I look. It&apos;s because I&apos;m terrified of getting diabetes. My mother and grandmother had it and I will too. I also feel sluggish and unmotivated.

  It&apos;s so commendable that you&apos;re making a point to donate what you can, food banks are an essential resource &amp; EVERYONE deserves to eat! &lt;3 I encourage people to look into volunteer work if donating isn&apos;t feasible for them!!
