And if you're just joining us, we've been talking about, what about CMAT, but about the toxicity that was pointed in her direction.

after appearing on the BBC at the weekend, so much so that she took to social media to say, it's literally boring for me, a gorgeous genius, to keep having to yap on about how horribly I'm treated because of my body.

I'd love to stop, but I can't.

Why?

Because it keeps happening.

And lots and lots of people have been getting in touch.

And Rob Gormley is amongst them, who is on the line.

Rob, why do you think it keeps happening, as Seamath said?

And what ways was it impacting your health, the weight, Rob?

In what way?

How do people treat you differently now?

Yeah.

Are you taken less seriously as a person when you're that heavy?

And, I mean, do you suspect people who saw you at that weight that, you know, that despite everything we know about obesity and, you know, and

Dole O'Shea and all these people, you know, working in Lachlanstown who do all this great work on this front and are blue in the face telling people it's a disease, that they still kind of look at you and they think, Rob has some sort of moral failing there, if he's that heavy.

Tell me more about this because I'm fascinated because I always thought, I know it got a lot of stick and I don't want to relitigate all those issues, but I always thought the most important person on Operation Transformation was on the telly was the psychologist, you know, because I just found, you know, we get them to lose weight here, but if the underlying reasons they were, you know, that they had problems aren't dealt with, the problems are still going to persist.
