Humans weren't desired to ever look 71 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: at themselves, like see what they look like. Like we 72 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: were never meant to. 73 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 4: Know, no, like just meant to have mirrors. 74 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 1: No. 75 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 4: I would love that same. 76 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: I would love that, but then again, our jobs are 77 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: like taking motos of ourselves, so it is a really 78 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: it's a double red sword. But you're originally from New Zealand, 79 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: aren't you, So tell us a little bit about how 80 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: you grew up, like your background of you. 81 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm originally from New Zealand. I lived there basically 82 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 5: my whole life. I would say my childhood was. I 83 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 5: feel like it's hard because I feel like I was 84 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 5: privileged in ways, like I had good school, good education, 85 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 5: like at a house, I always had a roof over 86 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 5: my head, and like all the basic necessities. But I 87 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 5: feel like overall, like I didn't have the best childhood experience. 88 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 5: Like when I look at my upbringing, it's all negative 89 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 5: in my opinion. 90 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: In what way would you say, I would say, I 91 00:03:58,880 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: don't know. 92 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 5: It's there's so many different layers, and I think that 93 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 5: from like a very early age, even like I experienced bullying, 94 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 5: and then I started with my eating disorder, and then 95 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 5: like my mom's whole life because my mom did social 96 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 5: media when she still does social media, but when I 97 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 5: was younger, she was I don't know, like a New 98 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 5: Zealand mum influencer. Yeah, and she kind of started in 99 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 5: the fitness space. So I think from like a very 100 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 5: young age, I was like. 101 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: Influenced negatively, not even negatively because it's probably not the 102 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: right way to say, but you I think when you 103 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: maybe grow up in that, and I can kind of 104 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: relate in that. 105 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 4: My dad was a. 106 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: Pe teacher and I grew up around boys, and it 107 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 1: was very sport related and very performance space, so you 108 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: kind of stopped looking at yourself as an individual and 109 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: kind of seeing yourself as a physical thing. And how 110 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: you look physically is almost how successful. 111 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 4: You're going to be. 112 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: And maybe because your mum was in front of the 113 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: camera all the time, like we experience now, like your 114 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: physical appearance is kind of goes on like one how 115 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: successful you are going to be, and like how you 116 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: determine yourself and your self worth. So growing up like 117 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: that from like a young girl would probably be really hard. 118 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: And having your mom, like who you look up to, 119 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: also being in that scene. Not that she was necessarily 120 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: forcing that upon you, it's just kind of innately how 121 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: we be. 122 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 4: Exposed to that as well. 123 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 5: And like I also feel terrible talking about it sometimes 124 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 5: because I never want to put the blame on her, 125 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 5: because I also understand that she was young because my 126 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 5: mum had me at seventeen, so like she was young, 127 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 5: and obviously I couldn't imagine being like twenty yeah, twenty 128 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 5: five with like a seven year old kid, yeah, or like, 129 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 5: so like I also understand that she would have experienced 130 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 5: what we've experienced as well, yeah, and unintentionally put it. 131 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: And I don't think there was a lot of education 132 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: when our parents are raising us about these things and 133 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: things that we should be careful with. Like I always 134 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: say that our kids of our generation are going to 135 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 1: be so much more woke to these problems because we 136 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: really experienced it and we have seen the effects of 137 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: social media. So I think our kids are going to 138 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: be a lot more educated on it, and hopefully it's 139 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: going to be prevented a little bit more because I 140 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: think we are the result of like fad diets and 141 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: yo yo diets and stuff like that, of how to 142 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: get skinny really quickly, because that was like the thing 143 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 1: of the eighties and the nineties, so that just like. 144 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 2: Rung like a whole new thing. 145 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 5: I completely forgot about like all the diet things that 146 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 5: like we were exposed to as teenagers. 147 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: Exactly, and especially our parents, like that was all that 148 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: they were.

And then I'd 177 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 5: be thinking that it was like I don't know all 178 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 5: these different ill when deep down I knew it was 179 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 5: because I was like hurting my body every day. 180 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: So when would you say that you're eating disorder started 181 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: to become a big part of your life or started 182 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: to impact your life. 183 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,559 Speaker 5: I would say, honestly, when I was like twelve years older, 184 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 5: I think, oh shit, yeah, I think I became aware 185 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 5: of it even younger. Like I was never allowed like 186 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 5: at school. You obviously kids have like packets of chips 187 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 5: or like musley bars or like a little treat, and 188 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 5: like I was never allowed that. It was always like 189 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 5: a sandwich, yogatting fruit, and obviously that's great. Like, but 190 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 5: like as a kid, when you're seeing other kids, they 191 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 5: get like a packet of oreos or something like, I 192 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 5: never got that, And so I think when I got that, 193 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 5: like I would consume copious amounts of it. I even 194 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 5: remember we never had any types of like sweet treats 195 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 5: in the house, so I'd eat packets of fondant because 196 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 5: that's all like baking chocolate chips. 197 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, because baking chocolate chips. 198 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 5: Because I'm like, I literally like I don't get it, 199 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 5: So like, yeah, you're obviously gonna overconsume it when you. 200 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: Do get it.

Not saying 564 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 5: because I don't know if they struggle or not, but 565 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,400 Speaker 5: like from what I can see them training and then 566 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 5: also eating like subconsciously helped me. 567 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:28,439 Speaker 4: You feel like you need to. 568 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I always said that, Like Easy was one 569 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: of the best people to have come in my life 570 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: for that reason because she was, like I feel like 571 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: past her she'd just get the pasta and then like 572 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 1: sometimes she didn't sick and think it no, and then 573 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: she didn't think about like what she wasn't having for 574 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: dinner because she had passed for lunch.
