Speaker 1 (00:00):
We were found.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Brisbane's biggest game of hide and seek has wrapped up
this time around at least.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
Yeah, a lot of people are asking us to do
it again. Really give us a minute.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Yeah, it won't be next week, I guarantee. But I
want to talk about Oprah Winfrey and I want if
this could be triggering for a lot of people. So
if you have an emotional reaction to this, thirteen one
oh sixty five, but I want your take on it.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
So.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Oprah has admitted that she has lost fifty pounds or
twenty two kilos on a weight loss drug. She's not
necessarily saying which one, but like a Zenpi or one
of those.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
There's a whole pile of them. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Anyway, She has revealed that she now realizes the truth
about thin people.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
One of the things that I realized the very first
time I took a GLP one was that all these
years I thought that then people had more willpower, they
eat better foods, they were able to stick to it longer,
they never had a potato chip. And then I realized,
the very first time I took the GLP one, then
they're not even.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Thinking about it.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
They're only eating when they're hungry when they're full, that's right.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
So as a thin person, and I don't like I
don't advocate for my thinness because I've had an eating
disorder for a really long time. So do not copy
me and think that I look amazing because I've got
amazing willpower.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
That's not true. What it is is that.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I won't if I'm not thinking about food, it doesn't
matter to me. Food is not a priority for me.
I don't enjoy it, I don't hate it. And the
best time for me when I feel the best about
myself is when it is no longer consuming my headspace.
So what happened yesterday?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
For example, we were.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
So tired after being found and being in lockdown for
seventy five hours. I thought I need something to give
me a quick pet meal, and so I had some snakes,
some jelly snakes. Yes, from that moment on, I became
obsessed with the fact that I'd eaten something I wouldn't
normally eat. And the noise in my head is the
same as anyone else. Right, if I had stuck to
(02:09):
my routine and had my morning shaken. The things that
I do, I don't think about it, and I don't
eat until I'm hungry. Yeah right, but I'm somewhere and
you know, yeah, I'm thin, I guess. I mean, but
it's not like thin people I reckon or those that
have control over it are not obsessing about it. Yes,
(02:31):
who just becomes something that you have to do because
you can't operate.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
And what I was saying is that it's not like
a special skill. It's not. It's not a weakness or
a strength. It's just there.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
It's as she's saying, I just stopped thinking about it,
and then and then it wasn't so obsession does that?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
It's it like it bos your hunger, doesn't.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
I was about to say, can I just wait in
from the newsroom, because I feel like it's really interesting
that she's made these comments because I'm not familiar with
the kind of drug that she's taking. But is it
the one that just literally suppresses your appetite? Is is
she actually commenting on experience of oh, well, no one
thinks about it, or is she actually taking something that
(03:09):
turns off that voice in her head, which you know,
people who are not taking weight loss drugs don't have that.
But she's saying like, oh, because I don't, I don't
think we don't even think about food, because I've actually
found the opposite. Like I've had weight fluctuate, and the
thinner I've been, the more I'm thinking about it because
I think, oh no, you can't eat that because you'll
(03:30):
just like revert back, like you.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Need to say.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
It's actually like more conscious because.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
It's not usual. It becomes obsessive.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Yeah, I've never taken a weight loss drug. I will
tell you I'm this because I'm obsessive about exercise and eating.
And as I said, I've had an eating disorder for
thirty years.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
So don't follow me.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
But I'm interested in you because you because you're a
professional athlete, so you food.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Is fuel for you. I got no wi. I just
eat and eat and eat.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Do you about because in that house where we've been
in lockdown, you.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Ate a lot. Ye try and complained about eating a lot.
But that's why because it was there.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
It was there, and I was bored, and if I'm bored,
I just eat absolute crap.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I don't know what chocolate on buckets chair. We did
see that like the TV. I had the whole box.
You were like, who ate the TV? Snackt It was
just me.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Michelle Barsley, What do you think?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Do you agree with Oprah?
Speaker 6 (04:27):
Good morning guys. How are you.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Welcome from Lockdown? Thank you?
Speaker 6 (04:32):
Yeah, I totally agree with you, Robin. I was slightly
heavier woman than eighty three killows and I lost thirty
five killows, so I'm just maybe a bit less. But
I'm fifty killows now and I'm a much slimmer woman.
But I only eat when I'm hungry, and when I
go out with friends for brunch or lunch, they're like, oh,
(04:53):
the rabbit is nibbling, But it's just I stopped when
I'm not hungry anymore. And I've done the usen peic
and you know, different things for three or four months
at a time, And yeah, I are you're obsessive, but.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
You're obsessive about not eating? Or is it just not
just do it without thinking?
Speaker 6 (05:10):
Now, I think initially, when I lost the majority of
the weight, and as my doctors called me a middle
aged woman, I get told that on a regular basis.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Shut up.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
Yeah, I was obsessive because I did not want to
gain the weight. But now I think I've flattered. I'm
trying to drop under fifty kilows in the wing scale,
just won't drop no matter what I do.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
But it sounds like it's still a big focus though
it's still still on the top of your forefront of
your mind.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
Oh could be, But I don't think about what I'm eating.
I might have a chocolate, I might have a glass
of wine, I might have stuff, and I don't worry
that much about it like I used to before. So yeah,
I don't agree with it.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
That's good.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
You're being very quiet, Kip white Man, and you're the
guy that has in the last couple of months, Ye
tried to drop weight.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yes, and I definitely felt like that like Corey, probably
a toned down version of Corey. But in that house,
I found it very hard to not eat through boredom
and because it was there.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
So you really think about your eating a lot when
we're losing the weight.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Was it annoying me? Frustrating it?
Speaker 4 (06:18):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I just had to plan everything to go, Okay, I'm
going to have this and if and once I have that,
then I won't eat till then.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
And yeah, it was all that. Have you found it
easy now, No? No, not really.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Well, just I've got to have a routine and this
job throws you out of routine. Because all of a sudden
you're in a different house, and then you know someone's
bringing in a box of donuts and there's all these
different Oh yeah I had one.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Yeah, you brought in donuts today. I wasn't put you
in it, but yes, sorry.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
See, maybe you could try for a week if you
think about it. Yes, stop yourself and think about how
about them broncos. Yeah, see if you cannot focus on
the food and see if it impacts how you eat.
I try.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I don't eat for like eight hours sometimes really yeah,
and then I'm absoluently.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I do that when I sleep on account during the
day
We were found.
