Speaker 1 (00:00):
We were found. Brisbane's biggest game of hide and seek
has wrapped up this time around at least.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Yeah, a lot of people are asking us to do
it again.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Really give us a minute.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Yeah, it won't be.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
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 2 (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. There's a whole pile of them.
Speaker 5 (00:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (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 thinking about it. They're only eating when
(01:05):
they're hungry when they're full, that's right.
Speaker 2 (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. That's not true. What it is is that
I won't if I'm not thinking about food, it doesn't
matter to me. Food is not a priority for me.
(01:32):
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? For example, we were so tired
after being found and being in lockdown for seventy five hours.
I thought I need something to give me a quick
(01:53):
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 my routine and had my
morning shaken. The things that I do, I don't think
(02:14):
about it, and I don't eat until I'm hungry, 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, 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.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
It's not a weakness or a strength.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
It's just there.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
It's as she's saying, I just stopped thinking about it
and then and then it wasn't so my obsession does It's?
Speaker 6 (02:46):
It like it blocks your hunger, doesn't 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.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
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 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
(03:20):
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 just like revert back, like you.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Need to say.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
It's actually like more conscious because it's not usual.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
It becomes obsessive.
Speaker 2 (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. So don't follow me. But I'm interested in
you because you because you're a professional athlete, so you food.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Is fuel for you. I got no I just eat
and eat and eat.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Do you about because in that house where we've been
in lockdown, you ate a lot try and complained about
eating a lot.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
But that's why because it was there.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
It was there, and I was bored.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
And if I'm bored, I just ate absolute crap.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I don't know, chocolate on bucketsh We did see that
like the TV.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
God, I had the whole box.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
You were like, who ate the TV?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Snackt It was just Michelle Barsley, what do you think.
Do you agree with Oprah?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Good morning guys. How are you welcome from lockdown?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Thank you?
Speaker 3 (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 usen take and
you know, different things for three or four months at
a time. And yeah, I A you're obsessive, but.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
You're obsessive about not eating? Or is it just not
just do it without thinking?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Now?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
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. Shut up. 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, but.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
It sounds like it's still a big focus though it's
still still on the top of your forefront of your mind.
Speaker 3 (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. That's good.
Speaker 2 (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 1 (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 2 (06:10):
So you really think about your eating a lot when
we're losing the weight.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Was it annoying me? Frustrating it?
Speaker 4 (06:18):
No?
Speaker 1 (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. And yeah, it was
all that.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Have you found it easier now?
Speaker 4 (06:27):
No?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
No, not really. It 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.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
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 2 (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 1 (06:56):
I don't eat for like eight hours sometimes really yeah,
and then I'm absoluent. I do that when I sleep
on account Nigine the day
