Chapter 1: What are the main struggles of being a content creator?
Now I'm scared. I'm like, what are we doing? I do feel like all of this and why I wanted to talk about it will actually be just a relief on me. I feel like it's kind of been all of this has been like eating me alive inside a little bit. When you say something as a content creator, someone with a following, people listen to you. I know, it's a lot of responsibility.
Thank you.
So Remy, I know that you haven't, you don't do a lot of like podcasts.
I used to. Right. I used to, I've been on social media for like four-ish years now. Before that I wasn't. And I feel like I like loved, I liked to talk. So I would do a lot of podcasts and things and I feel like I kind of set a boundary for myself in, I guess it was like September of 2023.
where I was like just getting too much shit online from people and negative and mostly related to like my body and how I looked that I was like why why am I giving all this to people and like giving everyone all of the right and When, like, they're not respecting me. And I was just, like, I'm just letting you guys know, like, I'm done sharing anything about personal and my health and me.
And you actually reposted that video. And you got some shit for that. Do you remember that?
I do. But I don't care about that stuff.
I know you don't care. But I just, it's, like, I think it goes to show, like, how... the whole point of the internet. Right.
Like, you got stuff for that, for people saying, like... For me, supporting you and being... I remember how proud I was and am of you for being vulnerable, but more importantly, for setting a boundary for whatever the boundary is.

Chapter 2: How has Remi Bader's health journey evolved?
Yeah. Do you feel like that? I do. I do. I feel like it's taken me a while to get here. And I also think that...
the people that follow me or see me online think that it's just because of the way I look or have changed my appearance that now I'm giving this energy and it's I think the point is that it's so much more than that right like it's not just that like yes I do look different than when I started on social media and that and how I looked last year and I think it's I do understand why people feel it needs or should be addressed I don't think I owe anyone anything no but I do think it's it's part of me wanting to
still want to share my journey while still keeping those boundaries on me and I feel like that's why it's like I'm not just going to give people an answer like yes I did this or this because exactly what you're saying like I do feel like happy and I do feel like I'm giving I feel a different energy within me but it's not just because of the way I look like there's so much more right that happened and there's so much more like in the past year that got me to this point right
I totally get that one. I mean, I remember when we started being on TV when I was like 21 or 22. And I remember the questions people would ask. And it was a different time than to they would ask such intrusive questions. And yes, at the time I would answer them because I'm 22 and I'm like, oh, and I would answer things.
And now when I see old clips of myself, I'm like the audacity that even that adult thinks I would like that. I should answer that. It could be a sexual thing. And I'm like. Doesn't even mean I'm doing that thing. I just don't think that's for you to even have out there if I am or if I'm not. And I remember now looking back, I'm like, but it's okay.
The older you get or the more wisdom you get that you do set those boundaries for yourself. So I totally relate to that.
And I think that that people love to say, like, you change. I'm sure you've gotten that over time, too. And I think it's like I was fighting that for so long. Like, no, I haven't. Like, I'm the same Remy. And I'm like, but I also like, aren't you supposed to over time, like, change and evolve at the same time? Like, I'm like, why is that an insult? Now I'm trying to accept that.
I'm like, yeah, like there's parts of me that have changed.
Well, that's like me getting mad at my six year old child if she's like, I do not eat chicken fingers today. And then in a year she's like, I only eat chicken. Like we're supposed to evolve, adapt. And guess what? Our taste buds change for food, for life, for just everything. what we want to do. So I find whenever people say you've changed as if that's a negative thing.

Chapter 3: What boundaries has Remi set for her social media presence?
They're just like, well, you aren't being the same you. And I'm like, but I told you a long time ago I was done doing that.
You're like, I want to pin this.
No, I've reposted it five times. Like, it's like, I'm like, no one's going to listen. Right. You're like, whatever. So that day I was like, if none of these people existed in my life that feel this way or all of these outside people, what would I do now? Right. And I already feel like I tried everything.
I feel like it's important to say what I tried because I also like really dealt with binge eating for years. I would say like 2019 on. I always did like diets and restricted and then gained weight, lost weight. Like the typical growing up, like did the diets with my mom for fun. Like, you know, that ended up traumatizing me later on.
But it was a different time. It was a different time. I know that sounds crazy.
No, it's not crazy.
it was a things were acceptable in the 90s early 2000s that I mean would not fly I have a conversation with my mom all the time like I'm like
I want to not hold this against you. I love you.
Like it's not our... It's really not our... If you like put in context the timing, it's... They were just doing the best that they knew how.

Chapter 4: How does Remi address online criticism?
That's the point of what you said before. How the hell was I supposed to share my thoughts that I'm still figuring out with everyone else? Because then when you say something as an influencer or content creator, someone with a following, people look at it as like they're going to listen to you. And a lot of responsibility. It's a lot of responsibility.
And I don't want to be a person that's a weight loss surgery advocate because like what if it does? What if they have this bad recovery? Like I want to be so open that I had a horrible recovery, but that I do feel better now. Right. I want to share both sides to it. I think that's important. I'm still processing all of it. It took me a while. I mean, I lost over 100.
I probably over 140 pounds in less than a year. Wow. I don't even know.
I didn't even realize. Right. So. I always say to people. Because my journey. I always say. There's not a one size fits all.
Yeah.
Because. I've tried everything under the sun. I used to binge eat. It was horrible. And I get that guilt. You binge eat. It feels so good in the moment. And then as soon as you're done. You're crying. And the shame. And the guilt. And then the next day. For some reason. You sort of do it again. I used to have that same situation. I didn't go. To the overeaters anonymous and stuff like that.
I don't really know what I did therapy, but it's a horrible feeling. I've gotten control through my workouts like that's how I work, but everyone's different and there's no one's and I also don't want to. Be like, oh, you have to do this workout. It's not that easy. It's taken me... I've been working out for like 10 years, but it's baby steps. It took me a very long time to get to where I am.
And people forget that. And all of the work that it takes from within, though. Because your brain is a muscle. You have to retrain that to even love yourself, to look at yourself. And I tell...
one of my girlfriends and I she works with me we were both bigger and now that we're smaller we're both like but we're athletic smaller we'll always joke and be like I was so much more confident when I was fat and chubby and like now in a bathing suit I'm like oh do you see this and like it's you'll always have some sort of
