What Is It Like Being "Fat" in Japan? (Healthiest Country in the World) 

Hello

I need online job I m very poor woman I need online home base job

This was great! Thank you this video 😁! I am also a big girl and this was fun to watch. I would love to have friends like that.

My comment is positive. I think you are a nice guy. If someone stops you to discuss the last days or what God has in store for the wick, or does God care, take a minute to listen to the good news of God's kingdom.

faxxxx

Maybe because they are comedians, they need to be thick skin to be comedians in variety shows which properly also boost up their confidence.

because they're funny. every fat person has to be funny to survive i know because i was fat until i was 17

@@EnvyTraxusfeel u

probably being comedians and youtubers ups their confidence for interviews a bit

That’s yo said! I’ve never really seen Japanese people show their personality🙃😊

Yes we need more like them in Japan it’s so boring looking at those mask among Japanese women

I completely agree

You seem to think that Tokyo people = Japanese😅

​@winternight119 then death

It’s also how you end up homeless too.

Hey guys, notice how she said "too seriously". Still take yourself seriously but don't be a party pooper lol

I know the feeling I came from Europe to Japan in Europe im small here im Big 😂 What counts is your ❤and character!

as someone who’s 110 pounds, i’m a S/M in the states, but in Japan i’m literally obese 😀 like ?????

​@@lisakimchis50 kg - that's about M in Japan, there's no way you'd be considered "obese" in Japan, unless you're super short (like 140 cm)

Have u tried carnivore or keto diet

You feel uncomfortable and worry if you are standing out from everyone…Many Japanese guys like a girl like you. I’m very tall and grotesquely skinny. When I wear fashionable clothes, I look confident. Hundreds of Japanese guys have approached me to say 〝I know you think you look like a model and beautiful and guys like you. We don’t. Guys don’t like a rail〟. When I’m staring at them, they look happy and say 〝You lost confidence😁？〟. When I say 〝 I do know my body is super ugly and so what？ Why do I have to look pretty？ Why do I have to get fat for a guy who pays attention only to something on a woman’s chest but never do to anything inside of her chest？〟, they get mad. Japanese guys like an unconfident girl who always worries if she looks pretty for them.

Yeah,what are their social media handles? Would love to follow them

Glad I wasn’t the only one thinking that

I felt the same way. I don’t think that just because they are big a lot of things he was doing should’ve been in that interview or done at all .

@@sherimoralesrowe5078 esp. the big mac eating competition like LMAO wtf was that

YES!!! the weight question, the push up, the burger competition…..

These women are not random passerby on the street - being big is literally part of their chosen careers. They get paid to do this sort of thing and likely wouldn't even agree to appear if they felt it demeaning. Like; these are grown women with their own agency not children. So what 'tone deaf' are you even talking about?

shame on them, love that u still enjoyed the trip here;D

This may sound fat, but I know Im only going for the food.

@@melonjuice7441 Japan is a foodie paradise! I hope you have a blast and eat so many yummy things! Don't ever be afraid to share the things you enjoy doing and are excited for!

With this kind of Japanese bullying you should show them that you're confident. If youre bold, you could even come up to them and ask daijubodesuka. These bullies would usually get embarassed and scamper off like roaches exposed to light. Being passive and timid only empowers these bullies so use that gaijin shield and show them that being fat doesnt mean being a pushover nor a clown.

My friends mom & her 2 friend went to Japan for business. All 3 are very obese. Ppl pointed, follower them & poked & took pics & videos like they were zoo animals. My friends mom was so traumatized she has now lost 40kg/88 pounds.

When my brothers visited earlier this year and mentioned that most medicine has an anorexia dosage sinceits terribly common. Even in males, it was common for the elbow BONES to be the thickest part of their arm. Obesity is serious but skinny doesnt always mean healthy.

@@melonjuice7441 That sounds horrible. They have to realize how unhealthy such beauty standards are to those poor kids.

Yes, people still saying asian or japanese are naturally thin… No, people are crazy about to be thin and a lot of ED…

right??? i’m 5’1 and my healthy weight is around 120lbs

Look at ordinary Japanese women, not the media. That is much healthier than you think.

plus size...

​@@marvin2678aka Fat

I lived in japan on a working holiday visa in 2018-2019 when i was at my heaviest weight and i have to say it is hard. people stare at you when you’re a foreigner but people stare even more when you’re a fat foreigner. i’ve even had random small kids call me “buta” at a station. it’s not impossible to be there while as a fat woman but you stick out like a sore thumb and it’s really hard to blend in and not feel like a walking entertainment for everyone everywhere you go.

My brothers went and they say people make an effort to make you feel bad while "pretending to whisper" literally behind your back. Many people also seem to test out whether you understand them or not and carry on w a nasty tone. They really cant stand a fat persons existence.

You can find some variety in thrift stores for sure, but when I went to the mall, a lot of the Japanese brands is "one size". Their "one size" is a true Small. I could barely fit into their skirts!

They don't care about your opinion ❤

@@pashatash It's factual though. They speak about their weight like a definitive state, while it is absolutely not. The guy just wanted to help

​@@bakakumaho1773he can help himself by shutting up.

@@AA-cf4es The guy was respectful but you just can't be open-minded

​@bakakumaho1773 why are you babying literal adult women bro???

they're comedians and they do stuff like that for a living so probably

Exactly this. Felt like he was making fun of them the whole time

they're comedians and they do challenges like that on their own channel and on TV as well so it's not that deep

No​@@beagleretrieverlab

​@@beagleretrieverlabdont takw it personal type beat

Of course everybody can have health problem, but with overweight people their weight is usually cause of many problems... let's not sugarcoated obesity.

She's illuminati, please be careful of her. Remarriage is while your first spouse is still alive is adultery and one must repent from it. Either remain single or reconcile. Be careful not to use God's Name in vain, Holy ****, Jesus Christ, jeez/sheesh, OMG, oml are also blasphemous uses of God's Name! Exodus 20:7 forbids it. Lord Jesus Christ is coming back everyone, please don’t worship celebrities and entertainment, focus on Him alone. I promise there’s more to life than money, partying, homosexuality and music. Hell is real, repent from sinning confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, I know He will if you’re sincere. Hell is very hot, people please repent! In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💪✝️💜❤️✝️! Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Racism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget! So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen. ☺

They are that way because they are fat, if they weren't it would b a different story

« On a date » however looks matter too, especially for men.

@@xdranzer0004 and so does it for women 💅

This entire video was really tone deaf. Kind of disappointing as Jesse is usually a decent interviewer

Didn't like that part either

Honestly as a plus size woman I found the whole interview dehumanizing. I know abt the fat phobia & toxic beauty standards in Japan and other Asian countries but it still disturbs me. The girls were in good spirits but that’s bc they’ve had to make a living out of making fun of themselves. The fact that grown women weighing 88 lbs is deemed the beauty standard is incredibly sexist and sad. It’s not just Asia that withholds such sexist beauty standards but it’s seen all over the world. I will never understand how someone can think less of another human bc of their weight and size. I steer clear of such ppl bc they’re not good ppl.

​@@Mooyaho90you sre spot on. moreover, if a woman is small, she is weaker, she us easier to control, to attack and to kidnap. We all should thrive to be big, strong and fir some extra fat tissue. It is much safer than being petite.

@@AA-cf4es there is that too. The set beauty standard in any society is a way to control ppl especially women.

It's true that plus size dresses (and undies!) are not in every store. Just ask the expats community, they will show you where to get what. And you can always buy online too. As social stigma, if you are talking about dating and stuff, most foreigners complain that they couldn't find anyone. More of cultural difference. And fluent japanese is game changer.

Shoes too.. if you are oversize 7 usa in shoes you are SOL. I am 7.5/8 an its hard.

People also comment on your weight here as well--in the sense that people will point out that you've lost or gained weight. In addition, as a foreigner, there is already attention drawn to you by being non-Japanese. This can take a while to get used to.

@@MixedRogueKhorri shoes are fine, I usually wear US 6.5

Don't worry at all. There is no social stigma against foreigners living in Japan. Frankly, there is peer pressure among Japanese, but it's not directed to foreigners living in Japan. Additionally, there is Amazon and Rakuten. You can literally buy anything from imported clothing/size to cheese. (You can also buy from US Amazon and have it shipped to Japan. You just to need to pay a little extra for shipping.) And there are special stores for "big sizes" too. But for items that you need to try on to be certain, like jeans or undergarments or swimwear, I'd recommend buying it in your home country and bringing it with you. The clothing size/scale is vastly different in North America, Europe, and Asia...as well as depending on brand line-up, so we all get confused when buying on-line. I'm pretty sure you'll naturally lose weight if/when you move to Japan. It's the everyday food, portion, humidity, lifestyle, etc.

It is in overall Asia. If you're over 55 kg here, you're already considered heavy. Take me as an example. I live in the Philippines. I stand at 154 cm and weigh 56 kg and said to be boarderline overweight even though if I go in the western part of the world, I would still be considered having a normal weight

​​@@rika362I agree, it really depends on where u are living in. As someone whos also living in asia where being over 45kg for women is already overweight, it feels weird when i hear someone saying that 50kg is normal, especually since i am light than both at 160cm

The fact is those are the businesses that over 99.9% of the locals haven't even heard of.

wait what??? for real? what do they do? lol

@@shailefeu9687 they usually take them out to restaurants, buy them food and watch them eat. It must be some kind of fetish tbh

​@@natii10where do I sign up 😮

It's called feeding/eaters fetish men take obese women and feed them food but like sit and watch and stuff

You met these people
