- You've got large breasts.
- Yes, I do.
- I know that they probably carry some weight.
- They do.
- You have back problems?
- I do. Very bad back problems.
(orchestral music)
- My name is Faith
- Deontay or DJ.
- I'm Jasmine.
And I'm here to guess the weight of some folks.
- [Interviewer] How does that make you feel
guessing other people's weight?
- Women? Not so well.
Men, I can care less, because they're men.
They have no feelings.
That's all, no emotion. That's it.
- [Interviewer] How is your relationship to your body?
- I've always thought that I'd had a really great one.
And then, like, I started to gain a little bit of weight
and I realized
that, like, I was being very critical to myself.
I'm working on actually learning to love myself
rather than that false sense of, like, self love.
- It's a lot better than what it used to be.
Because I just lost 200 pounds.
Now, I feel a lot more comfortable in my body
and I'm just happy where I'm at.
- [Interviewer] So these are the weights.
- Okay.
- [Interviewer] That you will be trying
to assign people today.
- Thank you.
- We've got some all over the place.
I think we've got an interesting mix of, like, heights
and things here.
- [Interviewer] That's what you're assuming
from looking at these numbers?
- Just from looking at these numbers, yes.
- It's interesting because it's how you carry it.
Some people have said that I look smaller than I weigh,
but it's how I carry myself.
- [Interviewer] Are you ready for me
to bring in the line?
- Let's do it.
Hi there. Good, how are you?
- [Interviewer] How you feeling?
- It's different now that everyone's right here
- Would you come up?
- Yes.
- What's your name?
- Daisy.
- Daisy. That's a great name.
- Thank you.
- Gonna say, like, I keep looking at your boobs,
I'm so sorry.
- No, you're good.
(everyone laughs)
- A lot of, like, weight can be held in, like, your boobs
and your butt and stuff.
What is your bra size?
What's your cup size?
- I think I'm with 36C
- C, Okay, same. - Or 34C.
- Same. Okay - Something like that.
- What do you do in your day to day?
- Go to the gym with my roommate in the morning.
- Okay.
- Make myself some good lunch, you know.
- What did you eat today?
- Oh, I've been eating the snacks over there.
(everyone laughs)
I think I ate like four of them, I'm not gonna lie.
- I'm gonna go with like my safe bet here
and give you the 167.
- 167.
- 167. That's gonna be my safe bet
because my mom always tells me
never to a woman her weight, so.
- She's right. - We're gonna roll with that.
We're gonna roll with that today.
- All right, thank you.
Nice to meet you.
- Same here.
- Hello.
- Hi. I call you, guys that, like, are built like you,
I say like hefty or like thick.
- Okay.
- I like hefty and thick guys.
Like it's something that is visually
to me pleasing and appealing.
- What's your favorite outfit?
- I like flannels.
- Oh.
- Kind of hides a lot.
- Oh, okay, okay.
So you said you like to cover yourself up.
Is that something you've always done?
- When I can. I probably would.
- [Faith] Yeah.
If I'm in a store and I'm walking, like, by a mirror,
I'm just kind of like, well I don't wanna look over there.
You know, I just kind of try to focus
on everything else around me rather than myself.
- What did you have for breakfast today?
- A few sips of water,
but I've been having some snacks to add some protein.
- What are the snacks back there?
Because I'm hearing a lot about the snacks.
- They're really good.
(everyone laughs)
- I'm gonna give you 245.
- 275.
- I'm gonna go with 245.
- Why'd you give me 245?
- Just because your height and weight is distributed, so.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Hey friend, come on forward.
So do you do any like physical activity or sports?
Do you like to stay a fit?
Do you eat relatively healthy?
- Absolutely not.
- Cool, okay.
- Yeah.
- Are you happy with your current weight?
- Not really.
- What would you change if you could?
- Just be thinner?
I'm kind of coming to terms with the fact
that, like, my body will never be how it was.
- How is the relationship with your body?
- I was kind of, like, closed off by my body
and a little, like, there was some shame
and stuff for sure.
- For sure.
- Grew up in a very fat phobic household
and then kind of just, like, realizing that my body
is the one I got.
The other people sure seem to like it.
So I should, probably get on board.
- [Faith] That's great.
- So did you find
that you were feeling better about yourself
from other people as validation?
- [Matthew] Yeah.
- Okay.
Yeah, It was one of those things where like,
if enough people tell me something
and I just keep denying them,
I'm basically just telling
that many people that they're all liars.
And I don't want to do that.
- I'm gonna give you the 315.
- 315
- I'm gonna say 315.
You're a tall person.
- I am.
- And sometimes being taller.
There's more weight there.
- True.
- Hello.
- What's your name?
- My name's Kira.
- I know I was talking about boobs earlier
and weight and things like that.
You've got large breasts. - It's okay.
- Yes, I do.
- I know that they probably carry some weight?
- They do.
- You have back problems?
- I do. Very bad back problems.
(everyone laughs)
- What did you eat today?
- This morning, my breakfast was a Red Bull.
- That's hardcore.
- Oh, I drink red bulls almost every day.
And then snacks.
- What snacks? I wanna know what snacks.
- I started out. What did I start with out with?
- Corn Nuts.
- I think that's what it was.
Yeah, I had the Corn Nuts.
- Do you like to show skin?
- I do.
- Does that go into how you feel about your body?
- I love my body.
So why wouldn't I wanna show it off.
- I think I'm trying to rule out,
if you feel bad about your body based on the number.
- To me the number doesn't matter.
- Number doesn't matter.
- Yeah. It's just me.
Why do you think you can't ask a woman their weight?
- Because my mom said it was rude.
- Why do you think your mom said that?
- I have no idea, but what she says goes.
- What about men?
- Men have no emotions or feelings and.
(everyone laughs)
They don't care.
Okay. I'm going to roll with 275.
- 275
- 245
- Yeah. Thank you.
- Thank you.
- And last but not least.
- Hi.
- Hello.
So what did you eat today?
- They had nuts . So I ate some nuts.
- Can I get a bag of these nuts.
Like I feel like everybody's just talking about some nuts.
- Do you like to do anything pretty, like active?
- I like to go for, like, a walk on my neighborhood.
I like to go to, like, metal concerts.
I don't go super hard.
- Yeah.
- Like I'm not like slam dancing in the pit or nothing.
- What's slam dancing.
I've seen people like punching and kicking.
- It's just like thrashing. Yeah, just going crazy.
- Yeah.
- Does your weight mean something to you?
- Previously in life it has meant a lot.
- Yeah.
- Negatively.
Lately more positively.
I care more about just being healthy
versus, like, a number on a scale.
Do you find yourself carrying, either consciously
or unconsciously,
any kind of, like, bias
toward people who are currently fat?
- Not necessarily, I would never judge somebody
based on anything because it's a struggle.
Like I was there.
I know what it feels like.
- So men do have feelings. You said earlier
men don't have feelings,
but seems like they do.
- Do they you've?
- [Interviewer] You've shown feelings this whole time.
- Yeah. - Have I?
- [Interviewer] In a good way? Yeah.
- I think that's just transparency.
Are those feelings?
- Transparency. I feel like that's the same thing.
- That's questionable.
- See, the reason I challenge
your men have no feelings thing
is because I'm a trans man.
So, I've lived as a fat woman and a fat man.
So, I kind of see at least in the realm
of being a fat person, like,
I do think that men struggle just as much as women do.
Just in a different way.
- You're right about that.
- And of any gender, a fat person is going to struggle
with the same internalized fat phobia
that our society has, so. - Yeah.
- Well, this is the only number I have left.
So we gotta, guess you get that one.
- Thank you.
Nice talking to you.
- Same here.
- [Interviewer] I'm gonna let you take a look
and if you wanna switch one, you can do that.
And then I want you to put them in order.
- [Jasmine] I feel like these two need to switch.
- [Deontay] You drop over? You switch, you switch.
- [Interviewer] Okay.
Raise your hand if faith got you right.
- I'm gonna hear all the hands.
What?
Oh snap. Okay. Okay.
- Damn, one out of five.
- What the fuck?
Are you for real?
No.
- [Interviewer] Switch your weights please.
And then go ahead and get in the right order.
- That's why we don't guess weights.
(everyone laughs)
- [Jasmine] I had. Okay.
I should of just, like, switched people.
- One on five.
- Hey, look at that. I'll take that.
- So you're the only one that I got right.
- Yay.
- How was your relationship with your body and your weight?
- So about a year ago I started my fitness journey.
I was going through a lot of mental stuff
and so I went to working out as a coping mechanism.
- [Jasmine] Okay.
- It was healthy at first
but then it became a little toxic
because I would stop myself from going out with friends
because I didn't want to eat too much.
Ever since then, I still work out like four times a week
but I let myself eat what I need to eat.
So, I have a really good relationship now.
- Good.
I need to get back in the gym. Yeah.
- Girl, hit me up.
- All right, come here.
Talk to me, miss.
- So you got me wrong.
Why did you put me at 275?
- I don't have very large breasts.
So I don't think, I really know, like,
actually kind of - The experience?
- how much weight that would add.
- I mean it does, but
- Is there anything that contributes to your weight?
- So I was on birth control for about seven years.
I actually got off because of COVID
because I couldn't get my next one.
Thus started my journey with my weight
and I had gained weight so, so fast.
I don't know if you know
but birth control weight is so hard to lose.
- [Deontay] Yeah.
- Like it's almost impossible to lose.
- Do you find it frustrating
that people don't consider all of of the ways
that weight can fluctuate?
Usually people associate it with like food.
- It was solely hormonal.
I have learned to just love my body.
Because I only have one life
and one body and so.
- Hell yeah.
- Yeah.
- I support that.
- Get on up here.
- All right, so you got me wrong, but you were close.
- I got you wrong but I was close. Okay.
So how do you feel about 275?
- It's right.
- It's right. You're right.
- That's my weight. Yeah.
- Yeah, you were saying earlier
that you feel healthy when you feel healthy mentally
or you just feel good like in your skin.
- Yes. and that's something
that I've had to, like,
kind of coach myself into believing.
- Absolutely.
- It's, like, have you always been a little bit heavier?
- Yeah. So, I have polycystic ovarian syndrome
which just, like, in short
it has made it really hard to lose weight my entire life.
Which, like, I'm cool with it now.
But as a kid, I heard a lot of
like I would get told I was so fat.
I was gonna get diabetes
and my like toes would get cut off.
- [Jasmine] And that has nothing to do with that.
- My mom would tell me things like that.
I've been on every diet imaginable.
- Yeah.
- Like restricting food, exercise.
I'm just always gonna be a big person.
- Yeah. Well thank you so much for that.
- Yeah. Thank you.
- Hello.
- 296. Got that wrong too.
- I just really.
- You got me wrong.
- I did. But you know, I wasn't too far off.
- No.
- I just assumed because you were the tallest.
- Yeah.
- I figured there was gonna be more mass there.
More weight there.
Have you fluctuated, like, with your weight.
Is that something that you struggled with
or, like, how do you?
- I get a little ways over 300 during COVID you know.
- Yeah.
- Because I was just sitting at home all day.
- Have you ever tried to hide your weight?
- I think ever since, like, I got older
and my weight became something that I was aware of.
I didn't but I think, like,
probably the baggiest clothes I ever wore
was when I was skinny.
I don't know.
I always look at people that have suspenders on
who have a belly and I'm like, that looks good.
- That looks awesome.
- Yeah.
- That's great.
- So I kind of was just like, it highlights it in a way
that makes me feel good about myself.
- Yeah. I never thought of suspenders that way.
- Yeah.
- Well, Thank you, Matthew.
- Yes. Thank you.
- Yeah.
- Like Fernando.
You still, to me, don't look 315 pounds.
- I think a lot of it's my ass, if I'm being honest.
- Is it? You have a big doopid butt.
- [Fernando] I can tell
- You got a big butt.
Can I see it?
Is it weird?
Oh, you do!
(everyone laughs)
- I'm blessed.
- Oh really?
How do you feel about your butt?
Are you like happy about it?
- I'm not the happiest with it.
Be trying some pants on and they don't fit
and in my thighs and my butt just won't make it in, so.
- Oh no.
I've never had that problem.
Is that one of your biggest insecurities?
- I don't know. I'm who I am.
So I'm not gonna.
- Yeah.
- You know, beat myself up too much over it.
My girlfriend likes my butt a lot, so.
- Nice, I was gonna say she's a butt girl, huh?
- Yeah, definitely.
- Do you find yourself happy these days?
- It's just a number, so it's not too bad.
You know, I find myself attractive
and everything, so.
- So, what do you see next for your body?
- My goal away would probably be like 240.
So, I just wanna find like a healthy lifestyle.
I want to be able to go to the gym
and kind of feel good about myself every day.
- That biggest piece of advice that I can give anyone
is to find their, why.
Your why is gonna be your reasoning for losing.
And as long as you stick with that
then that'll kind of be the motivation that you need.
- Yeah.
- Awesome. Well, thank you.
- Thank you.
- [Interviewer] Alrighty. How was that?
- That was great.
I'm feeling emotional.
I don't want people to think of a number
and not think that they're beautiful
or worthy of love, of friendship, of support.
Because they way more or less than they think they should.
If you feel good in you're every day
and you're happy
or you're sad and you're aware that you can do things
to make you feel better.
You're in a healthy spot and that can change every day.
