She is sitting there smiling and nodding but you can tell she isn't listening to a word she doesn't want to hear.

Remember this anyone trying to lose weight: if you’re being called fat phobic for losing weight, you’re doing something right
-
Jamie Lopez literally just died at 37. I don't understand why people are confusing hate with genuine concern for their wellbeing
-
I will never understand how someone’s personal choice to lose weight ,workout, and live a healthy lifestyle after being overweight, equates to being “fatphobic” .
-
Fat acceptance or whatever aside, Lexi was one of the meanest girls in high school. No joke. I have friends who still have nightmares about this girl. Last year she went viral for saying that not being sexually attracted to fat people is equal to racism. Girls issues run way deeper than her flawed opinions on health.
-
There are no fat/obese 90 year olds. How can anyone possibly say that obesity does not cause health issues, and lead to a shorter life?
-
You can't deny the health benefits of getting healthy and losing weight. I was always around 115 lbs, and around 22 I packed on 80 pounds. The way I felt physically was horrible. The changes that happened to my body were horrible. Hygiene was necessary daily. My bowel movements were horrible. I'm 26 now and have lost most of the weight I gained, save about 20 pounds. I feel so much better PHYSICALLY. It has nothing to do with being fat or thin, it was all about how my body felt, and it didn't feel good when I was big.
-
John stole the show. He's such a nice guy. He's an inspiration. I lost 115 pounds this year, and I can only imagine losing 180 pounds.
-
I feel as I am a big guy I can speak on this. I am 513Lbs and I can tell you right now that being my size is not okay but I don't want to be shamed for it, but it shouldn't be encouraged. It is what it is and I'm an adult and I chose to do this to myself. When you're overweight to the point of obesity you are putting so much strain on your organs and your muscles and bones. I hope people can lose the weight.

I am anorexic and it amazes me that obese people do not know that they also have an eating disorder. My great grandpa died bed ridden because of food and my grandma is headed in the same direction. As a family we decided to sit her down to try to help her and I told her if you lose weight, I’ll gain weight and we are in this together. So far so good, wish us luck!
-
i can't believe that being called an ex-fat is an insult now, what a time to be alive...
-
John is such an amazing person, so much positivity, and genuine compassion!! I've been a fan and follower of him for years, currently at 140lbs of weight-loss myself. So glad he was able to contribute here.
-
Here from Obese to Beast! 👏🏽 he’s a rockstar!
-
My inspiration, John (ObesetoBeast) helped me lose 110 pounds and changed my life. I’m glad he was on this segment, he handled himself with class. Dr. Phil, take a hint from John Glaude on how you motivate people.
-
Simple question to ask anyone who has went from terrible lifestyle to healthy lifestyle.. Do you regret it? Nearly none will say no. Ask that question in reverse and chance are high most will say they have regrets in letting themselves go down the comfort hole of poop.
-
I love how she responds so well when you sugar coat the same information to make her FEEL good. They’re aware the message is truth, but it’s all about “don’t hurt my feelings!”
-
Yes John!!! Good for you for standing up and saying what you said at the end
-
There is a difference between true body positivity and promoting obesity. Its fine to be happy with who you are, but when magazines have covers saying "fat is healthy" its a whole other ballgame. Does this mean you should make fun of fat people? Of course not! But if you truly love yourself you should realize that weighing 300+ is the opposite of healthy, and can cause health problems let alone shorten your life.
-
In all seriousness, she should be asked one simple question: “do you want to get fatter?” I’d love to hear her response
-
Her definition of body positivity translates to "I want society to accept and overlook my self-destructive eating habits because I am lazily complacent or surrounded by people who have issues of their own and can't shake me from my apathy".
