" In the clip from July 2024, Justin said, "Why does nobody talk about how it is lowkey embarrassing to lose weight? So, I have lost over a 130 pounds, but every time, I would try to lose weight when I was younger, somebody would point it out and be like 'Hey dude, I saw you lost 5 pounds, good work' or 'Hey man, how is that diet going?'. I felt like my darkest secret had been exposed. It is almost like I thought that if nobody were to realise that I was actively trying to lose weight, then they would not know I was fat.
" He added, “I would literally hide my Fitness Powell (seemingly an app for a fitness centre) all the way in the back of my phone just in case somebody saw it as I was showing them something and then put the pieces together and be like, 'Oh wait, you are on Fitness Powell because you are on a diet, and you are on a diet because you are fat'. It is just the next level of denial you have when gaining weight and you don't want to.
