...on JRE.



And she is okay with it. She got fat shamed into doing Muay Thai and she says she probably needs to be fat shamed by some Thais again. Also says her own family does it.

Not suprised, instead of adressing her eating disorders she prefers to be shamed about it to lose weight and gain it again.

Healthy attitude and good to see it released on national TV or whereever that other genius Rogan can be watched.
 
C'mon, a former MMA fighter talking about motivation for getting into fighting and working out, talking to a fight commentator is a Mayberry subject?
 
Is it so difficult to be a moderate. lol

Bad: Normalizing obesity
Also bad: Ridiculing obesity

Some people put on weight a lot easier, than others. So what moderation is is not equally easy or difficult for everybody,I imagine. Also there's a lot of terrible food out there that eaten 'moderately' could still make some people gain weight and those type of foods are often more addicting and less satiating, which makes it harder to moderate.

In my experience in day to day life fat shaming is alive and well. Friends always giving friends hell or when two people get in an argument the fattest one gets called a fat fuck right out the gate.

Honestly I think you'll get a better discussion in here. Mayberry loves both Carano and Rogan. If the thread bombs here, we can always move it back.
 
If people didn't feel somewhat ashamed over their weight, I would probably have 50% less clients :eek:

As with everything, there is a nice way of going about things, if you are asking if I support bullying, you know the answer :rolleyes:

Yeah, there is definitely a better way to do it. ButI I think some people sometimes need a more direct way or crude way for the same message to come across. If, for example, someone is morbidly obese to the point of not being able to leave the bed, I doubt calling them "pleasantly plump" will bring them closer to the point of changing their lifestyle. Of course, you don't have to make a humiliating video and have it go viral online about them, but I also don't think there really is a nice way of bringing the message across about how bad it is for them.

i am talking about a moderate opinion on the obese; not a moderate approach to controlling obesity itself.

Gotcha.

But maybe a certain level of ridicule is what is needed to motivate certain people? There seem to be quite some people who said it helped them manage to lose weight

Obviously that is then still moderate, but also it's still ridicule.

I like her attitude. I'm currently being fat shamed by my kids so I think I'll make some lifestyle changes.
