This is a short YouTube monologue (creator: Jim Katsoulis) arguing that most people in your social circle—friends, coworkers, family, partners—won't support your weight-loss efforts. The speaker suggests this lack of support stems less from jealousy and more because your progress highlights others' inaction ("holding up a giant mirror"). The piece emphasizes that weight loss is ultimately an individual responsibility: you must find the tools, resources, and support you need yourself.

Almost no one, you know, wants you to lose weight. And I'm talking about your friends, your coworkers, your family, even your partners. They do not want you to lose weight. Now, it's not because they're jealous. Okay, It's a little bit because they're jealous. But it's mostly because when you start living healthier and losing weight, it's like holding up a giant mirror to them that reflects back what their situation is and what they're not doing. And if you're waiting for other people to support you, for you to start losing weight, you're going to be waiting a really long time, because it's probably never going to happen. Your weight loss is the job of one person and one person alone. You. It's up to you to find the tools, the resources, resources and the support that you need to get the results that you want.
