00:00Yes, please be positive about your body. Please use our movement to empower yourself. That's the point but the people who created this movement
00:09big women big brown and black women queer women are
00:14Not benefiting from the mainstream success of it
00:30I
00:33Just took a dna test
00:36I'm, just naturally fat
00:37So i've been working out consistently for the last five years and it may come as a surprise to some of y'all
00:43That i'm not working out to have your ideal body type
00:47I'm working out to have my ideal body type and you know what type that is none of your business. I'm
00:55a really solid grounded person and I know that
00:58I'm shocking because you've never seen in a long time a body like mine
01:07Doing whatever it wants to do
01:09And dressing the way that it dresses and moving the way that it moves
01:13Our bodies are none of your business. Our health is none of your business
01:17All we ask is that you keep that same energy with these medium girls that you praise
01:21I just wanted to say i've seen a few of these videos about like, you know
01:25Fat girls who eat healthy and stay active but can't seem to lose weight
01:30I think these kinds of videos are important whether they intend to lose weight or don't want to lose weight
01:36What really bothers me are the fake doctors in the comments saying? Oh you have this so you might have this condition
01:43No
01:45What if i'm just fat?
01:48What if this is just my body?
01:51I don't
01:52Ever want to censor myself because i'm suddenly
01:55Famous or i don't want to censor myself because everyone's looking at me now. I'm not going to
02:02Quiet myself. I'm not gonna shrink myself
02:06Because somebody thinks that i'm not sexy to them
02:14Bodies are not all designed to be slim with a six-pack
02:18You know what I mean if you're feeling down on yourself today just remember that your body is your body
02:24Nobody got your body. So enjoy that
02:28So next time you want to come to somebody and judge them whether they drink kale smoothies or eat
02:34McDonald's or work out or not work out
02:37How about you look at your own fucking self and worry about your own goddamn body?
02:42Because health is not just determined on what you look like on the outside
02:46Health is also what happens on the inside and a lot of y'all
02:51Need to do a cleanse for your insides now. The body positivity has been co-opted by all bodies
02:58and people are
03:00Finally celebrating medium and small girls and people who occasionally get roles fat people are still
03:07Getting the short end of this movement. We're still getting it on. We're still getting talked about
03:13memed
03:14shamed and
03:16No one cares anymore because it's like body positivity is for everybody. I'm the happiest i've ever been i'm surrounded by love
03:23and
03:25I just want to spread that love and also spread these cheeks
03:28And you know if you really really don't like
03:31my
03:33You can kiss it
03:35Because kissing it makes it go away. I promise
03:44You
