@@marieldavila we got this. I’m in the same situation, but we can get a little better each day. And even on the days we DON’T do so great, we’ll be okay. Tomorrow is another day. But I think we can get healthier. :)
Yeah I‘m “healed“ from it for the most part but I still get the occasional disgust and literally have to force myself to eat when it happens so hearing this bullshit is just crazy
That's anorexia nervosa. Plain anorexia is apathy toward food. So no feeling toward food. Often a symptom of depression. I had this for years and years.
Exactly and as a former anorexic I use to say I would kill myself if I ever get as big as she is. not that she should but it was my anorexic brain horrified of the fact of being big. I would eat once every 7 days so yea she is not anorexic she's delusional
I think what she has is binge eating , a lot of binge eaters won’t eat for hours or will skip a meal but then when they eat they binge a huge amount of calories. In order to be her size you must consume a large amount of calories . Yes there’s people who are overweight due to certain illnesses but they are not obese which is what Tess is , obese.
Yep I do this. But I don't eat for days then binge. Emotional eating is a very real and hard thing to not only deal with but get help for is hard. She needs to label it the right thing
@c h Tried explaining this to someone as someone with that and almost three years working mental health with five and a half years studying it. Tess shows me classic DSM5 emotional eating. I don't mean to be a bitch but Tess also has a huge history of scamming people for attention and money.
Even if she had atypical anorexia (usually people who have anorexia but without the low body weight) she’d still need to have the fear around being fat, fear of eating, etc.
I was diagnosed with atypical anorexia (before I wasn’t it’s complicated) because I lost weight during depression. I just didn’t want to eat not because I hated my body or thought of myself as to fat (more the opposite) that was the reason „atypical“ was used the term.
It really upsets me that people pull this stuff and then there are people like yourself who really know the struggle. Same goes w/ the people who fake mental health or a physical medical issues. So happy and proud of you that you’re in recovery ❤️🩹… Even though we don’t know each other, I’m thinking about you!
Hope you're doing well! I am recovered officially from ana but I can still feel these feelings creeping up time and time again, even years lted. It's an illness that most carry for the rest of their lifes and we have to fight with a lot. Just know that later on fighting her will be so much easier than it is now and food becomes enjoyable again. Sending you tons of love and remember to get any support you can! ❤
i was annorexic and quite chubby, it didn’t stay like that however. i became really tiny, fast. she would be loosing hella weight if she’s really is annorexic.
Shes doing what people have done to mental illness. "Im adhd because I'm always late" head azzes. She didn't fill her cup full because she didn't want to be judged. She ate whole meals on tiktok and I freak out over a BANANA
Ten years ago I couldn’t be diagnosed anorexic because my weight was not ”low enough”, although I was eating very little and excercising for hours.. I was diagnosed with EDNOS. My weight was 116lbs on 5’7 frame. I was ”too heavy” to be anorexic. 🫠
You CAN be overweight and have anorexia, but in like beginning stages, like a few first weeks, after that if you really have the anorexic behaviors you will start loosing weight rapidly, at least to my knowledge. It's not because you don't have time to eat, it's because you are genuinely terrified of eating.
Yes you can be overweight and have anorexia, but if she was anorexic she would be loosing so much weight at a very fast rate. She looks the same weight. It’s a public stunt and is doing it for attention. Simple as that
That's what I was thinking. There's people who are bigger that starve themselves sure, but something usually gives whether that's at least slowly decreasing in weight, weakness and fatigue, etc.
her claming to be anorexic AND saying she's not always thinking of changing her body size triggered me. As an anorexic I ALWAYS think of losing more weight, and it's never enough. However, having an ED is so much pain and I hope that she's gonna find happiness and recover from whatever hell she's being put through. I wish all ED havers the best, you're strong💙
@@krystynawojciechowska4722 people have a right to negatively react to somebody who is a gaslighting, lying, deceitful, narcissistic POS with a history of taking advantage of others for her own personal game. Tess is not a good person. Freedom of speech, just like she has, we can give our opinions so take a seat.
This definitely is not anorexia. In order for it to be anorexia or even atypical anorexia she would have a fear of weight gain. However she may have a different eating disorder. There are actually quite a few disorders that involve under eating that don’t have to do with weight loss. As someone who has struggled for many years with anorexia it is really disturbing seeing someone making claims about their eating habits and saying that because they under eat they are anorexic. She doesn’t understand how difficult it is when you actually have a fear of even just gaining half a pound.
I think she just mixed up binge eating disorder with anorexia. And that "small meal" that she's talking about might be over 3k calories. She seems to starve herself throughout the whole day then overeat at the end of the day. Which are literally binge and restrict behaviour.
@@Frisklikestoart In other interviews she said she would have coffee drinks and "handfuls of nuts" throughout the day. Nuts are great additions to a person's diet in small quantities, but are highly caloric and nowadays fancy coffee drinks are pretty much milk shakes. So, again, this behavior doesn't fit anorexia.
i think part of the problem here is that people are confusing "anorexia" (the symptom of not eating or having no appetite) with "anorexia nervosa" (the eating disorder involving obsessive food avoidance). i am someone who frequently experiences anorexia because my body doesn't produce normal hunger signals, so i can easily go all day without eating and not realize it until the end of the day, but i _don't_ have anorexia nervosa because i am not avoiding food intentionally to impact my weight. tess is doing something similar so i totally believe she has non-disordered anorexia, but i think what happened is that her therapist just said "that's anorexia" and did not elaborate. either because _they_ don't understand the difference, or they just failed to explain it. and when you say "anorexia" people assume "anorexia nervosa", so Tess also made that assumption and keeps claiming to have a disorder she obviously doesn't have because she doesn't actually understand her diagnosis.
@@TheGuindo I do not challenge you condition at all. I may have it also. It is nearly 1pm and I have been up since 6am and have eaten nothing. Right now I want to eat. After I have one meal, I have no interest in eating the rest of the day. My meals are fairly small and I have been tracking what I eat to try to get it up to the right levels of calories and protein, but protein is hard, especially as I am primarily vegetarian. But yesterday I had a full can of chickpeas sautéed in olive oil and garlic and will probably do the same today. I will eat one egg a day, especially with fresh vegetables and one slice of whole grain bread. I don't know how to characterize this, I am not afraid of food, but I can't see eating large amounts of high carby processed food as I would feel bad.
@@karilnowak7962 yup, it's very similar for me, the appetite just isn't there and i have to force myself to eat sometimes and count calories to make sure i'm hitting a daily minimum. what especially sucks is the situation I'm in right now, where my stomach is telling me i'm hungry but my brain is completely disinterested in food to the point where the idea of putting anything in my mouth is actively repulsive. super fun!! Do you also do the thing where you eat basically the exact same thing every day because the more thought you have to put into deciding what to eat the more paralyzed with indecision you get about it? i basically cycle through the same handful of 'default' meals until i burn out on each one, it sucks. also, if you're not allergic to peanuts, i find peanut butter toast is a convenient way to get a good amount of calories from protein into your system quickly. and if you are allergic to peanuts then cashew butter is a decent alternative, though you'd need almost twice as much to get the same amount of protein. so anyway yeah. i would say that clinically you and i both have anorexia, but _not_ anorexia nervosa. but i would certainly not advise going around telling people you "have anorexia" without also explaining the distinction between clinical anorexia and anorexia nervosa, because you can see how that works out lmao /pointing at Tess
not only is she a lying POS but she also had a 'clothing line' back around 2011/2012 where she promoted shirts that had a slogan about fatphobia on them and it was a cute idea but she ended up taking a bunch of people's money and running. there's hundreds of people who never got their orders or a refund and it was just swept under the rug. Tess is the worst kind of person, on par with Jeffree Star in my opinion. thanks for covering this topic! i struggle with anorexia and it's not a cute, quirky disorder. my digestive system is permanently ruined because of it and seeing it be paraded as a trendy thing to have is so frustrating.
as someone struggling with anorexia, I can confidently say, she’s not one of us. I’m not proud of my ED, and I’m trying to recover from it. Anorexia is the fear of eating, and/or gaining weight, not “I can’t eat bc I’m so busy 😣” but more like “I physically cannot eat even if I tried”
correction: anorexia _nervosa_ is the fear of eating and/or gaining weight. colloquially "anorexia" and "anorexia nervosa" are used interchangeably, but medically speaking, "anorexia" just refers to loss of appetite. "i got so busy that i never even noticed i was hungry" _is_ anorexia, but it's not anorexia nervosa. i'm making the distinction because i think that what happened is her therapist said "that's anorexia" (meaning the normal kind) and she heard "that's anorexia (nervosa)". either she's using that confusion to garner sympathy or nobody has bothered to pull her aside and explain the difference. either way it's a disservice to everyone with eating disorders.
I would not eat for a week+ at a time I abused laxatives and nearly died from anorexia and I am still struggling to recover She needed to be SPECIFIC when she came forward as “anorexic” because omg it is so ignorant for her to say she’s flat out anorexic You can be any size and be anorexic yeah but….. she definitely was skipping a meal or two she is exaggerating so bad 😭
I would have breakdowns if I got over a certain calorie count and carb count in a day, used diuretics religiously, etc. doctor actually condoned my behavior because of my weight. Lost 80+ pounds in less than 6 months. 🙃 Tess is not anorexic. Her behavior is not in alignment for that diagnosis. 🤦🏼♀️
@miceribs ikr like see if she was overweight and had anorexia she would start losing weight but she hasn't. So like how could she have anorexia like bruh.
I can’t believe this. I eat only one meal at the end of the day and usually a snack during the day but at 160lbs i’m not anorexic. I don’t obsess over calories,fear having to eat or make myself throw up. So I just eat differently it doesn’t mean i have an eating disorder. She’s crazy!
Like maybe she has a binging and purging disorder but saying she has anorexia just makes me so mad it isn't just something to do for attention... people die from it
yup. eating one meal a day CAN be anorexic behavior but it doesn’t make someone automatically anorexic. some people just do it because they have little appetites.
A morbidly obese person can be anorexic, but a lot of common symptoms are still required for diagnosis. Minus being underweight, if she had dramatic weight loss, restrictive eating, an obsession with food, etc., that can render that diagnosis. HOWEVER, Tess Holliday often shows videos that promote eating and enjoying food without care. Shame around eating is pretty integral to most ED's. After 9 years of being an*rexic, I still live with the long-term health problems I caused to myself as a teenager over a decade later. This feels like a stunt for clout and attention and damn that pisses me off.
My dad's mother tried to get me to be anorexia nervosa. Did not work luckily with my grandpa he made sure I ate and got food. It scares me that I was almost that. If Tess has an eating disorder, I'd say binge eating.
Girl really said in that one video she goes all day without eating 🙄 lots of people with school and work do. I don’t get how it’s positive and healthy to be huge yet she clearly gets offended being associated with it? Tess pick one 😂
Anorexia nervosa - an eating disorder characterized by an abnormally low body weight, an intense fear of gaining weight, and a distorted perception of weight. there is no way she could be anorexic at that size because to maintain that size, you would have to have a high caloric intake. she definitely has an eating disorder but its most definitely not anorexia.
The "fun" part about Fat Activists like Tess is you tell them they're overweight and they respond with, "Over what weight?" If you say they're obese, they act like you just said a slur (actually, a lot of FAs will spell obese as ob*se just like how you would see other slurs spelt). If you tell them it is physically impossible for them to weigh 300+ lbs without over consuming food, they tell you it's just genetics. These people have major victim complex \ main character syndrome vibes mixed with a shit load of mental gymnastics.
as an overweight person in the process of losing weight, it is tempting! believing that you don't have to, that you don't need to work for health, is SO F* tempting! It is easier to just eat your life away, and believing that it is not wrong is freeing. But for me, what I learned so far, is that eating disorder is both ways, under and overweight, and it is what it is, a disorder, that needs treatment! Losing weight is not getting thin, is getting healthy, and you don't need to be thin as society says what is thin, just be what your doctor says is thin! it is enough... I need to lose 20 kilos according to my doctor, and I would need to lose 30 according to some people, and it is hard as fuck, cause everything involves food, you need to eat, it is not like stopping smoking, you can't just don't eat. You need control because you need to eat, but you need to eat right, I feel on edge every mealtime, one single wrong step and I will fall! That is why fat activism is getting stronger because it is easier, not better.
Lmfao, I do not miss those days. My husband would be like how are you ALWAYS doing laundry? BECAUSE I PEED MYSELF OKAY!? ARE YOU HAPPY KNOWING WHAT YOU KNOW NOW???
I was annaorexic for 5 years at least I was sooo malnourished my lowest weight was 65 lbs I was hospitalized because of malnourishment almost 4 years in recovery so proud of myself
fr when i was anorexic, i cried when i had to eat. i ran 5 miles everyday as well as went on a 10 mile bike ride and 3 mile walk with my dog. this was last year. i dropped 30 pounds in a month and i was passing out and hungry all the time, but i thought i was overweight. when someone even brought up the topic of anorexia i laughed in their face like they were crazy. now that i’m recovered, i can see how worried they were for me and i would be too. me seeing this at the time of my ed would be like a slap in the face showing me i’m insignificant and need to lose more weight. this is disgusting and needs to be stopped😢anyone who needs or wants help, please reply and we can figure out a way to communicate bc i’m here for y’all!! (ps, my pfp is me now that i’m recovered❤❤)
The math is not mathing 1:22 the problem here clearly is she’s not eating proper full meals during the day then obviously stuffing her self with junk because she’s starved at the end of the day. The worst part is imagine having trouble with your weight and you see this it’s harmful on both ends of the scale
@@christamist sure is. I am either eat nothing or binge. I used to binge and purge, stopping purging isn't the biggest issue...its breaking that binge cycle, learning better eating habits...its But as I am a recent amputee with years of illness...I am Fairly immoble so...220lbs.. Its like ya can't win for losing sonetimes.
The problem is she didn’t get a diagnosis from a doctor or psychologist who deals with EDs. Her therapist said “if I could I would diagnose you with Ana” also it’s annoying because she probably does have binge eating disorder and she could use her platform to help and advocate for that but she chooses this. 🙄
To be clear Tess started off saying her dietician was the one who said this. She got a lot of flap over that as a dietician cannot make a diagnosis. So she changed her story to say her therapist agreed.
Anna Sweeney, who apparently gave her this diagnosis, is a registered dietitian who also describes herself as a relational nutrition therapist, whatever that is. I do not believe she has a degree in psychology, whether at the undergraduate or graduate level.
It's an insult to us that have been through anorexia weighting 76pounds at 5'10 and having to go through hell to get back on our feet. We need to think what society has come too with all that stupidity around us. Cancel all those people
I'm 32 years old and have been dealing with eating disorders since I was 11.. I've had anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder. Currently dealing with BED. She most definitely isn't anorexic 😂😂 my god
As someone who has struggled with anorexia and bulimia, what pisses me off about this story isn't the fact that Tess probably isn't anorexic but how people are using her weight to dismiss the possibility. I'm not underweight right now, as I tried to go through recovery and gained some weight, but I never eat more than a thousand calories daily, and even that much makes me feel guilty and paranoid. I plan what I'm going to eat days in advance and I can't move on with my life if I don't know what I'm going to eat for the entire week. I am constantly losing weight and feeling like I'm morbidly obese because of bdd. But a lot of the time I don't feel like my feelings are valid because of not being underweight right now. I get it, I'm not anorexic in the typical sense of the word anymore, but I'm still struggling. That is exactly why atypical anorexia exists. Sure, Tess doesn't seem to have symptoms of anorexia such as fear of food, fear of gaining weight, etc, but what I see most people talking about is how impossible it is for someone her size to be anorexic. A person could be obese and have atypical anorexia, that is not the problem here. Saying that she couldn't is denying the whole existence of atypical anorexia and making people like me (normal BMI and struggling) feel even worse about themselves.
As someone who is 20 years old, 5”3 and suffers with anorexia (my lowest weight was 96 pounds(last year) this makes me very sad to use an actual problem people suffer from for fame.
5:02 I cannot get over that dress. It's supposed to be a puffy dress I guess but her arm fat fills in all the puffiness of that dress. LMAO I so love the way you made this video.. IDK why but you popped up on my home screen and here I am! LOL.
i know this video is almost from a year ago but for those who are coming at layze saying that overweight people can have anorexia, you’re not wrong but the stuff tess posts on a daily, you can tell she doesn’t have a problem with food or being a fat person bc she’s a plus size model and promotes that. So not only is she offensive to underweight anorexics but also people struggling with being an overweight anorexic.
You can be plus size and starve yourself,but Tess Holiday is obviously lying for attention,as someone that had an ed and is still struggling with body image,it’s kinda obvious that Tess isn’t struggling,especially when she constantly says how much she loves her body and even said herself that she’s not eating because she’s busy and isn’t afraid to eat a meal when she has the time to
“I was always making sure everyone else’s cup was full and I wasn’t filling my own” -> Your facial expression…deceased!😂😂😂 Also she’s basically describing “1 meal a day intermittent fasting” - quite popular nowadays, anorexia running rampant!
I am a mom. I'm almost 40. When she talks about, "I'm busy, I don't eat all day then I have one meal at bedtime" I was like why the f you lying too because it's a shitty eating habit that is not good for weight loss, but I'm 5'5 and max out at 160 living like this. I call bluff
I was just recently diagnosed with anorexia. I have to push myself to eat but it Is extremely hard. I went from 80kg to 60kg in 2 weeks. Because of my terrible sleep schedule I bearly have enough energy to make it through my day. Hearing someone say they are anorexic then saying. “It’s because I skipped 2 meals.” What the actual fuck. Iam so livid.
I live in Denmark and as a teenager, I was hospitalised for a whole year because of anorexia nervosa. I weighed 27 kg (under 60 pounds). I was afraid of eating, afraid of gaining weight, afraid of living and afraid of dying. I would exercise excessively everywhere and anywhere at all times. That's my experience with anorexia nervosa. Luckily, I survived and recovered completely but only due to the lengthy hospitalisation.
i have pcos and i am overweight, i’ve struggled with eating since i was 7 years old. the only time i have been skinny is when i struggled with anorexia. i lost an unhealthy amount of weight, anorexia is being terrified of food and thinking of food 24/7. it’s over working out, and literal torment. i understand what it’s like to be plus size but tess is ridiculous.
8:50 hi, Californian here! in my book, this is called disrespectful😭 my best friend in anorexic and healing but she sent me this video and was really upset by this lady. anyways that’s my diagnosis😽
I have been here, disordered eating habits (after ED + back at a normal weight + then overweight) etc, it wasn’t I was eating & gaining weight. I had metabolic issues caused by genetic issues & medications that I wasn’t aware were going so & would literally eat one meal a day - not because I was stopping myself but bc I would forget till my husband came home and asked have you eaten anything? But I just didn’t get hunger cues - which couldn’t be further from the truth now! My GP was also the one who suggested to my mum that I had an ED - bc of certain behaviours - and referred me on to mental health help. I don’t know if I even knew what an ED was at the time. I just knew I felt wrong & ashamed of my body & since I couldn’t control the awful things around me at least I could control what I ate/ how I moved etc. I remember tho that when I actually had an ED (due to trauma) the “anorexic” weight that needed treatment was 40kg. My BMI “ideal” was 42kg. That’s when I realised something was wrong with the system and started finding my way out of it. Happy I did and I’m on the other side now. But again, I was a crazy weight at one point when I was consciously restricting. I’m sure no one believed me but I did have a metabolic disorder so that’s why I wasn’t losing. I also can’t move much (due to disability) so just bc I wasn’t eating doesn’t mean I was burning calories other than BMR.
Atypical Anorexia does exist, I almost got diagnosed with atypical anorexia once before. I’m overweight but after a medical scare years ago I refused to eat enough food, I would restrict myself to no more than 500/1000cals a day and I would sometimes look at my food and not want to eat it so I would play with it and wait until no one is around and dispose of the food . I would physically cause myself to have hunger pains and I would drink so much water so I stopped feeling hungry, my mum eventually wouldn’t allow me to eat in my room because she knew I wouldn’t eat and at times warned me if I don’t eat she will be taking me to the hospital. I was really close once of developing the disorder so it is very much a real condition, I lost a lot of weight in that one year and I wasn’t just starving myself I was also going to the gym on top of that.
Does she mean bullemic? I'm sorry but Political Correctness has gone even more bonkers. I have mental Illness as in depression, anxiety, so I'm very understanding but please c'mon. All I say Layzee is thank God for you. ❤️🇬🇧❤️
I am currently struggling with anorexia, and my parents get mad at me for not eating food, I get mad at myself for fearing it. It's not being "too busy" to eat, it's being afraid and panicking at the thought of having to eat that one slice of toast, or that one apple, it's so little food but it's such a huge deal to me.
4:49 Of course they are angry. She is lying about a serious issue just because she can. I don’t think she realizes how much this can affect someone. I hope that anyone who has struggled from anorexia are recovered or on the road to recovery. ❤
As someone who had an eating disorder I definitely think you're right in the idea that she definitely did not have one. She did hit some points that are real though. For example, I would go days without eating, or eating very little. Like sucking on an almond all day was my meal. But after a few days would pass I'd have this depressive episode where I'd binge eat, and then immediately force myself to vomit it all back up out of anxiety and guilt and just general anger towards myself and my body. Because of that, my weight fluctuated a lot, and it kinda broke my metabolism. I wasn't doing anything, working out or leaving the house, I was barely eating and when I did I threw it up. And that ended up causing my body to hold onto whatever it could, which in turn led me to gaining weight. It turned into a vicious cycle. While bulimic I probably started at around 90lbs, and when I finally sought help I was at almost 300lbs. (This was the course of like 7 years) It's been about 4 years since I started to get healthy again and I eat a normal amount, even if I have to force it. And I go to the gym. I work a job that keeps me on my feet too. I only check my weight about two or three times a month, and I've managed to lose almost 120lbs in the four years I've been working to better myself. So that's to say - I do believe there is some truth to things she says about how not everyone with an eating disorder loses weight. BUT- that's not to defend her. Based on her as a person and the things she says and does, it definitely feels like she's absolutely bullshitting people for attention.
As a person whose been overweight most of their life and eating similarly to how she described, only eating once a day and then going to bed, your body is in starvation mode. It will store that as fat bc it doesn't know when it's going to have sustenance again. Then, going to bed with carbs or sugar in your stomach, that also gets stored as fat. If there's a lack of calorie deficit, you can maintain that weight.
Honestly it’s possible she could be anorexic at her weight, but the way she acts says she’s not. As a person who was diagnosed as anorexic a couple years ago, I can tell you she doesn’t show any signs of being anorexic. She skipped some meals, yeah that happens that doesn’t mean you have an eating disorder. She makes me think of the pick me girls who are always diagnosing themselves with every disorder.
I had an eating disorder where I DIDN’T eat at all because I choked on something as a kid, it basically started from a fear. I took drinks to survive. I have recovered from it now. I didnt have anorexia, but she is NOT anorexic. Skipping a meal does not count as an eating disorder.
I feel disgusted whenever I eat any small portion of food, healthy or not. On weekends, I try not to eat at all. Yet, I don't even have the balls to say I have an eating disorder even if I'm on the verge of passing out. The nerve this lady has is actually insane to me.
I hope you get better… I have a friend that have been through this It was really hard to see her desperately calling me because she was fighting her demons. I don’t believe anyone should go through this and I don’t want to see you suffer from this Even if I don’t know you, please take care of yourself you deserve it ❤️
Former anorexic person, my most days in a row of not eating was 9 and I fainted.. this is so saddening and under cuts why so many girls have anorexia to begin with
6:36 she could 100% have anorexia and be obese, but theres some symptoms she should have that she doesn't. Like fear of gaining weight, restrictive eating, obsession with food, dramatic weight loss, etc. She doesn't have any of those
I used to be anorexic, and now I do OMAD or 2MAD. Eating one-two meals a day and not obsessing with fear is a COMPLETELY SEPARATE experience. In my experience when anorexic, I never once forgot to eat. It was a constant battle to stop myself from eating. It's not something you get to forget about when it's pretty much all you think about all day. And when I did eat, it would hurt, and I couldn't handle eating much quantity whatsoever. Shed have to have to be eating like 3kg of pure butter for dinner to prevent losing weight at her size. And, I dont buy for one second that eating one meal a day, or two, is atypical anorexia. It's intermittent fasting, which has a lot of health benefits, and has no basis in fear or obsession. You eat to your hearts content, and has no inherent impact on weight. I mostly do it for convenience. Anorexia requires discipline. I don't think this lady has even heard of the word discipline. She is a binge eater. I went through a binge phase also, and yeah you don't get very hungry between binges if you go crazy with it, but at her weight? She's definitely going absolutely mental with her binges and snacking, so ofcourse she would feel full sometimes in between 😂
I was really depressed because I was made fun of for being overweight, since I'm short, they find it funny. I loosed 15+ kg in less than a month (maybe 2 weeks even?) because I was too embarrassed to eat (my family also made fun of me) they always tell me that I was too fat and I should lessen ny food intake, they made fun of me every time I try to eat something. So slowly I got disgusted by food, I felt like vomiting when eating, and I just don't feel hunger at all. I'm considered underweight now, but I'm still too scared to gain more than 1kg, I do eat, but I often skip meals when I see myself weighing a bit more. I weigh like a 4th grader I just don't get how people can easily claim they're anorexic, when I don't even claim myself to be one. They're people who have it worst than me, like my bestfriend for example. She have a weigh of a 3rd grade, she has an average weight of a 3rd grader (she often vomits her food) she's literally skin and bones. It all starts from home, where you feel like you need to try hard. I can't even call this home anymore. It's so hard to do something that won't get you judged.
Went thru anorexia in my early 20s, literally ate a cup of diluted frozen juice and weighed myself multiple times a day. Got down to a scary weight & it was brought on by the grief I felt when my mom passed. I felt like the only thing I could control was my eating habits & watching the # on the scale go down. Took a long time to recover. This is an insult
Im 14 and im overweight for my age. 3 years ago when i changed school i got bullied because of my body. And i started starving myself. Because i thought i would lose weight . Its just made it worst. I made myself sick and depressed. I started eating again. And now im good. Im still overweight but im trying to eat healthier and stuff like that.
I always skip my meals. Sometimes I don’t even eat in a day but I ain’t anorexic just because you didn’t eat your daily dose of three Big Macs doesnt mean your anorexic.
I got down to 80 something lbs and almost died, until I got pregnant. That saved me life. I weigh 135 now. I was 132, 9 months pregnant. So I weigh more now than I did on the day I gave birth. It took me MANY years to learn to love my body. I thought anything over 117 was fat....at 5'7" in height. I do have tiny little bones. So I would truly believe my smaller bones meant I should weigh much less. I could go so long without eating. I would have a couple bites of food per day, and then workout tobirn off the calories I ate. Now I look at my curvy body and feel beautiful. My old pics are so unattractive and voncerning to me. I have pics where my legs are half the size of my 10 year old child. Just horrible. I also developed a bone disorder, after 25+ years of anorexia, and nutrient depravation. She might have symptoms of anorexia ..where she wants to avoid meals....but then has a binge disorder, as well. The binge disorder might be stronger than the anotexia, obviously. I still have to fight to ignore anotexia symptoms, and overeat often. The both can be true. So, I prefer not to judge. Alos, soneone certified in nutrition (to get myself healthier)...all diets work, if you work the diet. Every diet is lower calories, lower fat. Some diets are better than others. Its a lifestyle change that works best, because eating well should not be temporary or starvation.
It does make sense to have an official diagnosis available for people whose BMI is over the official cutoff for 'regular' anorexia, but who otherwise fit the criteria. Insurance companies and healthcare systems generally won't cover treatment without an official diagnosis, so you had messed up situations where people already suffering with dangerously disordered eating habits had no choice but to let themselves become even sicker in order to qualify for help. Depending on where you start and how fast you lose the weight, organs can start shutting down well before you're officially considered underweight. That said, as others have mentioned, regularly being too busy to eat is a problem, but on its own, that's not anorexia
As an actual person that had anorexia, yeah she definitely ain’t anorexic, it’s not her size, just how she acts, she seems to act proud of her body, (and if you were anorexic you wouldn’t be proud of that not to be offensive) and she’s always not just pretending or saying she eats unhealthy processed food, she actually does, when I was anorexic I was afraid to eat a mango or banana because of the sugar and calories, all I have to say is that this is pretending to have a deadly mental disorder, so glad she ain’t relevant anymore
Sorry for the life story, but…. I didn’t suffer from anorexia exactly, but this girl makes me mad for those who HAVE HAD/DO HAVE anorexia. I did have a lengthy point in my life where I only let myself have a single bite of something for both breakfast and lunch. Then, I’d eat my dinner, but I’d try to throw it up later in my room. When I could only throw up a little bit of it, I would start sobbing and I’d exercise until I felt awful. Oh, and I’d sneakily drink apple cider vinegar from the fridge because my mom was drinking it to get thinner. I soon was severely underweight and malnourished…. which my sister would make fun of me for being “malnourished.” She would laugh about it. And then, when she was writing a card to me with words in alphabetical order to describe me, she put “malnourished” for ‘M’. I think this all happened when I was in middle school because some people there called me fat. I don’t remember Anyway, now I’m doing better! I still cry sometimes when I gain a single pound, but I just drink lots of water the next day. I allow myself to have a cup of coffee for breakfast, and then I allow myself to eat a lunch and dinner. I’m doing soooo much better now, and I am so thankful. But people with anorexia go through way worse than me, and my heart goes out to you ❤️
Dario you are the BEST! I laugh hysterically throughout all your videos & can’t wait for the next one. I’ve been binge watching you since I’ve found your channel,please keep putting out this hysterical content.
I’m from California and the only way to please her is to 1: fully ignore her 2: Be mean and nice 3: straight up, call herself absorbed and start a fight
My mother has been anorexic her whole life basically. Right now she weighs 97lbs n is 5'5" tall. She's not trying to lose weight now, but because she suffered so many years it's really hard for her to keep eating and gain weight. Eugenia Cooney is anorexic. This chick is not anorexic. I should make a video saying Im so overweight I'm obese. I'm 5'7" n I have a hard time gaining weight also. Last month I weighed 134 now I'm at 127.im so bummed out. I been going to the doctors but they keep saying they don't see anything? But I wake up so nauseous everyday I can't eat until half the day is gone. I can't wait until I get back to 140lbs. I don't like being this skinny. I hate my body right now. Hope I can figure this out soon.
I’m someone who has potentials for anorexia. I do eat sometimes, however when I do eat I feel guilty about it if I eat more then what I think I should. I am hungry I do feel hunger but I’m not going to eat because I’m scared to. There are days where I won’t eat anything at all and just go on with my day on a cup of milk and water, while I do agree you don’t have to be skinny to be anorexic you can’t be morbidly obese and say “I’m anorexic”😭 and most anorexic people have a changed body image and Tess does not. In fact she promotes it. Saying you have a mental illness that’s so serious for clout is insane. If she was really anorexic she wouldn’t talk about it on tv or whatever that was, it’s not something to be proud of (recovery obviously is) anyway onto my next point. She says she doesn’t eat a lot and if that was really true she would be burning fat like crazy. Anorexia comes with rapid weight loss and I’m not sure if she’s aware of that, whoever gave her that diagnosis is crazy
I am anorexic, and I often go two the three days without eating because I am scared to gain weight and I do this every other week so this is kinda annoying
I had to build some muscles and gain some weight. It took me 6 months to gain 2kg. I am not anorexic, but I was still so scared of becoming fat, that I would almost cry in front of my plate. Plus I found overeating physically extremely painful... yes, I feel mocked by her. -.-
as a girl who actually has been struggling with anorexia for 2 years, this is just infuriating. ive had to fight so hard to force myself to eat so i wouldnt be forcibly sent to rehab. ive passed out in school from it. my metabolism is forever messed up and now its so hard to feel hungry even if i want to eat, but i force myself to do it even if eating makes me feel sick. god i am so tired of my entitled generation.
I go all day without eating cause I’m at work all day and don’t get a break I could eat between customers but I choose not too. Not because I’m anorexic but because I rather wait till I get home where I can sit down and enjoy it without being interrupted. Which leads to me eating one meal a day but I would call that bad eating habits.
As someone with anorexia and someone who has multiple family members with the disorder this is disgusting and she needs to grow up and realize she is not anorexic
Big people can also have anorexia but she’s trying to say she’s had anorexia this whole time but if that was the case she wouldn’t look the way she does now (which is completely fine i personally think she’s hot) I myself suffered with a VERY mild bout of anorexia and I lost noticeable weight very quickly my family/friends were commenting on it within a month. I myself am not a big person, at my heaviest I was only 186 pounds. That all being said there is a possibility that she DOES actually have anorexia, just a more mild case than we’re used to seeing. It took me 3 years of my own struggles with anorexia to lose 50+ pounds. not everyone with anorexia is rail thin, big people can and do have anorexia as well. Tess was eating ONE meal a day. that is not normal. especially for someone that used to over eat. going from over eating to eating one meal a day is an eating disorder.
Having been a model, I can't take this seriously. I remember what it was like to look at myself in the mirror (at 92 lbs, 5'6") - _KNOW_ that I was skin and bones and yet I was STILL feeling & seeing FAT, AWARE of my body dysmorphia and how ridiculous it was, and not able to change what I saw and felt. You _know_ it's not real, yet you can't help but feel it. It's the worst. But this? Just attention -seeking behavior at its finest.

As a person who used to have an eating disorder, it is not about being busy but being afraid and disgusted to eat anything.
she probably does have an ED but def not anorexia, maybe BED or something
Exactly, I'm still struggling with my eating disorder but that girl is just faking.
@@marieldavila I'm so sorry to hear that but I hope you get better! I believe in you
@@marieldavila we got this. I’m in the same situation, but we can get a little better each day. And even on the days we DON’T do so great, we’ll be okay. Tomorrow is another day. But I think we can get healthier. :)
Yeah I‘m “healed“ from it for the most part but I still get the occasional disgust and literally have to force myself to eat when it happens so hearing this bullshit is just crazy
Anorexia is not putting off a meal because you're busy. It's being afraid to eat at all.
That's anorexia nervosa. Plain anorexia is apathy toward food. So no feeling toward food. Often a symptom of depression. I had this for years and years.
@@leukotomyminx wow, passive aggressive much? Btw you're wrong hun
Exatly
Yes, I havent eaten a proper 3 course meal in 2 years cause of (AN)
Exactly and as a former anorexic I use to say I would kill myself if I ever get as big as she is. not that she should but it was my anorexic brain horrified of the fact of being big. I would eat once every 7 days so yea she is not anorexic she's delusional
I think what she has is binge eating , a lot of binge eaters won’t eat for hours or will skip a meal but then when they eat they binge a huge amount of calories.
In order to be her size you must consume a large amount of calories . Yes there’s people who are overweight due to certain illnesses but they are not obese which is what Tess is , obese.
Bulimi
Yep I do this. But I don't eat for days then binge. Emotional eating is a very real and hard thing to not only deal with but get help for is hard.
She needs to label it the right thing
@c h Tried explaining this to someone as someone with that and almost three years working mental health with five and a half years studying it. Tess shows me classic DSM5 emotional eating. I don't mean to be a bitch but Tess also has a huge history of scamming people for attention and money.
But that's still anorexia with binge eating.
@@lenagranstrom579that is also a possibility but she never mentioned any way she was purging the calories, through exercise or otherwise...
I can’t Imagine how the people who’s ACTUALLY gone through anorexia must feel about this.
oh they're pissed,I'm sure,and for good reason!
@@GabrielleTollerson exactly!
i'm anorexic, and i'm pissed the fvck off.
As someone with an ed I’m pissed
Im js confused and its kinda funny to me tbh such a bullshit shes saying 💀
Even if she had atypical anorexia (usually people who have anorexia but without the low body weight) she’d still need to have the fear around being fat, fear of eating, etc.
Yuppppppppppppp.
she was basically losing weight by skipping some melas everyday or even short term starving(max 1 day) and called it anorexia.
@@catsolw she never even lost any weight 😂
I was diagnosed with atypical anorexia (before I wasn’t it’s complicated) because I lost weight during depression. I just didn’t want to eat not because I hated my body or thought of myself as to fat (more the opposite) that was the reason „atypical“ was used the term.
@@metalelli6219 ok?
Girl thinks she's anorexic because she went a day without Burger King 💀
NAHHHH YOU DIDNT- BUT TRUE 💀
HELP TRUE

As an actual anorexic in recovery, Tess is ridiculous.
It really upsets me that people pull this stuff and then there are people like yourself who really know the struggle. Same goes w/ the people who fake mental health or a physical medical issues. So happy and proud of you that you’re in recovery ❤️🩹… Even though we don’t know each other, I’m thinking about you!
Hope you’re doing well! ❤
Hope you're doing well! I am recovered officially from ana but I can still feel these feelings creeping up time and time again, even years lted. It's an illness that most carry for the rest of their lifes and we have to fight with a lot. Just know that later on fighting her will be so much easier than it is now and food becomes enjoyable again. Sending you tons of love and remember to get any support you can! ❤
ikr...it feels so disrespectful
an insult...
i was annorexic and quite chubby, it didn’t stay like that however. i became really tiny, fast. she would be loosing hella weight if she’s really is annorexic.
I thought the same thing
She needs 14,000 calories a day to maintain that weight. Lol.
@ireh4770wait-dude I went from 24 bmi to 19.4 in 2 and half months...what does that mean?
Absolutely...she is likely confusing a binge/purge disorder with anorexia
I suffered anorexia and this is definitely not anorexia 😮
Shes doing what people have done to mental illness. "Im adhd because I'm always late" head azzes. She didn't fill her cup full because she didn't want to be judged. She ate whole meals on tiktok and I freak out over a BANANA
Ten years ago I couldn’t be diagnosed anorexic because my weight was not ”low enough”, although I was eating very little and excercising for hours.. I was diagnosed with EDNOS. My weight was 116lbs on 5’7 frame. I was ”too heavy” to be anorexic. 🫠
If you had anorexia you'd know that it is a mental illness.
@@melanie-rosannastevens7861 I had anorexia. Ended up in the hospital. I was obsessed with calories and numbers. I battled it for 25 years.
@@francesbacon7825 and still nobody told you that it's a mental illness? That's a shame
You CAN be overweight and have anorexia, but in like beginning stages, like a few first weeks, after that if you really have the anorexic behaviors you will start loosing weight rapidly, at least to my knowledge. It's not because you don't have time to eat, it's because you are genuinely terrified of eating.
Yes you can be overweight and have anorexia, but if she was anorexic she would be loosing so much weight at a very fast rate. She looks the same weight. It’s a public stunt and is doing it for attention. Simple as that
exactly! given that its been almost a year since this "diagnosis" and she's still obese there's no way she has anorexia.
That's what I was thinking. There's people who are bigger that starve themselves sure, but something usually gives whether that's at least slowly decreasing in weight, weakness and fatigue, etc.
Oh BS bravery???? My younger sister died age 39 from Anorexia 💔
Love you sweetie thankyou for exposing these mf's.
fly high
Rest in peace ❤
I’m so sorry for your loss 🕊️
may she rest in peace .
So sorry to hear that... Anorexia can be a real serial killer.r
her claming to be anorexic AND saying she's not always thinking of changing her body size triggered me. As an anorexic I ALWAYS think of losing more weight, and it's never enough. However, having an ED is so much pain and I hope that she's gonna find happiness and recover from whatever hell she's being put through. I wish all ED havers the best, you're strong💙
Finally a comment that’s saying something that isn’t negative and hateful
@@krystynawojciechowska4722 people have a right to negatively react to somebody who is a gaslighting, lying, deceitful, narcissistic POS with a history of taking advantage of others for her own personal game. Tess is not a good person. Freedom of speech, just like she has, we can give our opinions so take a seat.
*Dr. Now has entered the chat* “you are not 600 pounds of water”
😂
🤣🤣🤣
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Hahaha Hahaha Hahaha WIN 😂😂😂
Nikocado avocados saying, "it's just water weight" :3
This definitely is not anorexia. In order for it to be anorexia or even atypical anorexia she would have a fear of weight gain. However she may have a different eating disorder. There are actually quite a few disorders that involve under eating that don’t have to do with weight loss. As someone who has struggled for many years with anorexia it is really disturbing seeing someone making claims about their eating habits and saying that because they under eat they are anorexic. She doesn’t understand how difficult it is when you actually have a fear of even just gaining half a pound.
I think she just mixed up binge eating disorder with anorexia. And that "small meal" that she's talking about might be over 3k calories. She seems to starve herself throughout the whole day then overeat at the end of the day. Which are literally binge and restrict behaviour.
@@Frisklikestoart In other interviews she said she would have coffee drinks and "handfuls of nuts" throughout the day. Nuts are great additions to a person's diet in small quantities, but are highly caloric and nowadays fancy coffee drinks are pretty much milk shakes. So, again, this behavior doesn't fit anorexia.
i think part of the problem here is that people are confusing "anorexia" (the symptom of not eating or having no appetite) with "anorexia nervosa" (the eating disorder involving obsessive food avoidance). i am someone who frequently experiences anorexia because my body doesn't produce normal hunger signals, so i can easily go all day without eating and not realize it until the end of the day, but i _don't_ have anorexia nervosa because i am not avoiding food intentionally to impact my weight. tess is doing something similar so i totally believe she has non-disordered anorexia, but i think what happened is that her therapist just said "that's anorexia" and did not elaborate. either because _they_ don't understand the difference, or they just failed to explain it. and when you say "anorexia" people assume "anorexia nervosa", so Tess also made that assumption and keeps claiming to have a disorder she obviously doesn't have because she doesn't actually understand her diagnosis.
@@TheGuindo I do not challenge you condition at all. I may have it also. It is nearly 1pm and I have been up since 6am and have eaten nothing. Right now I want to eat. After I have one meal, I have no interest in eating the rest of the day. My meals are fairly small and I have been tracking what I eat to try to get it up to the right levels of calories and protein, but protein is hard, especially as I am primarily vegetarian. But yesterday I had a full can of chickpeas sautéed in olive oil and garlic and will probably do the same today. I will eat one egg a day, especially with fresh vegetables and one slice of whole grain bread. I don't know how to characterize this, I am not afraid of food, but I can't see eating large amounts of high carby processed food as I would feel bad.
@@karilnowak7962 yup, it's very similar for me, the appetite just isn't there and i have to force myself to eat sometimes and count calories to make sure i'm hitting a daily minimum. what especially sucks is the situation I'm in right now, where my stomach is telling me i'm hungry but my brain is completely disinterested in food to the point where the idea of putting anything in my mouth is actively repulsive. super fun!! Do you also do the thing where you eat basically the exact same thing every day because the more thought you have to put into deciding what to eat the more paralyzed with indecision you get about it? i basically cycle through the same handful of 'default' meals until i burn out on each one, it sucks.
also, if you're not allergic to peanuts, i find peanut butter toast is a convenient way to get a good amount of calories from protein into your system quickly. and if you are allergic to peanuts then cashew butter is a decent alternative, though you'd need almost twice as much to get the same amount of protein.
so anyway yeah. i would say that clinically you and i both have anorexia, but _not_ anorexia nervosa. but i would certainly not advise going around telling people you "have anorexia" without also explaining the distinction between clinical anorexia and anorexia nervosa, because you can see how that works out lmao /pointing at Tess
not only is she a lying POS but she also had a 'clothing line' back around 2011/2012 where she promoted shirts that had a slogan about fatphobia on them and it was a cute idea but she ended up taking a bunch of people's money and running. there's hundreds of people who never got their orders or a refund and it was just swept under the rug. Tess is the worst kind of person, on par with Jeffree Star in my opinion.
thanks for covering this topic! i struggle with anorexia and it's not a cute, quirky disorder. my digestive system is permanently ruined because of it and seeing it be paraded as a trendy thing to have is so frustrating.
as someone struggling with anorexia, I can confidently say, she’s not one of us. I’m not proud of my ED, and I’m trying to recover from it.
Anorexia is the fear of eating, and/or gaining weight, not “I can’t eat bc I’m so busy 😣” but more like “I physically cannot eat even if I tried”
correction: anorexia _nervosa_ is the fear of eating and/or gaining weight. colloquially "anorexia" and "anorexia nervosa" are used interchangeably, but medically speaking, "anorexia" just refers to loss of appetite. "i got so busy that i never even noticed i was hungry" _is_ anorexia, but it's not anorexia nervosa.
i'm making the distinction because i think that what happened is her therapist said "that's anorexia" (meaning the normal kind) and she heard "that's anorexia (nervosa)". either she's using that confusion to garner sympathy or nobody has bothered to pull her aside and explain the difference. either way it's a disservice to everyone with eating disorders.
I would not eat for a week+ at a time I abused laxatives and nearly died from anorexia and I am still struggling to recover
She needed to be SPECIFIC when she came forward as “anorexic” because omg it is so ignorant for her to say she’s flat out anorexic
You can be any size and be anorexic yeah but….. she definitely was skipping a meal or two she is exaggerating so bad 😭
I would have breakdowns if I got over a certain calorie count and carb count in a day, used diuretics religiously, etc. doctor actually condoned my behavior because of my weight. Lost 80+ pounds in less than 6 months. 🙃 Tess is not anorexic. Her behavior is not in alignment for that diagnosis. 🤦🏼♀️
I legit would check my weight so often and get upset over it. I would only eat one small meal a day sometimes not at all.
@miceribs ikr like see if she was overweight and had anorexia she would start losing weight but she hasn't. So like how could she have anorexia like bruh.
I can’t believe this. I eat only one meal at the end of the day and usually a snack during the day but at 160lbs i’m not anorexic. I don’t obsess over calories,fear having to eat or make myself throw up. So I just eat differently it doesn’t mean i have an eating disorder. She’s crazy!
Like maybe she has a binging and purging disorder but saying she has anorexia just makes me so mad it isn't just something to do for attention... people die from it
I eat 3 healthy meals a day and sometimes a snack, but I’m still 5’1 and 98lbs but I’m not anorexic.
yup. eating one meal a day CAN be anorexic behavior but it doesn’t make someone automatically anorexic. some people just do it because they have little appetites.
A morbidly obese person can be anorexic, but a lot of common symptoms are still required for diagnosis. Minus being underweight, if she had dramatic weight loss, restrictive eating, an obsession with food, etc., that can render that diagnosis. HOWEVER, Tess Holliday often shows videos that promote eating and enjoying food without care. Shame around eating is pretty integral to most ED's. After 9 years of being an*rexic, I still live with the long-term health problems I caused to myself as a teenager over a decade later. This feels like a stunt for clout and attention and damn that pisses me off.
My dad's mother tried to get me to be anorexia nervosa. Did not work luckily with my grandpa he made sure I ate and got food. It scares me that I was almost that. If Tess has an eating disorder, I'd say binge eating.
Girl really said in that one video she goes all day without eating 🙄 lots of people with school and work do. I don’t get how it’s positive and healthy to be huge yet she clearly gets offended being associated with it? Tess pick one 😂
@⭐️ Patrice 👄 I used to be like that until I lost nearly 90lbs.
if she eats "one meal a day", it must be an 8,000 calorie meal@@PatricenotPatrick
Anorexia nervosa - an eating disorder characterized by an abnormally low body weight, an intense fear of gaining weight, and a distorted perception of weight. there is no way she could be anorexic at that size because to maintain that size, you would have to have a high caloric intake. she definitely has an eating disorder but its most definitely not anorexia.
As a person who used to starve them selfs and go to the gym , im so disgusted by Tess for skipping one meal and say “I’m starving my self 🥺”
I'm soooo happy that youtubers like you make fun of this nonsense. It's driving me crazy! Love your content ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Frrr❤❤❤❤
eating disorder?
nahh im eatin dis order
That's so horrible but I love it lol
LMFAO
The "fun" part about Fat Activists like Tess is you tell them they're overweight and they respond with, "Over what weight?" If you say they're obese, they act like you just said a slur (actually, a lot of FAs will spell obese as ob*se just like how you would see other slurs spelt). If you tell them it is physically impossible for them to weigh 300+ lbs without over consuming food, they tell you it's just genetics. These people have major victim complex \ main character syndrome vibes mixed with a shit load of mental gymnastics.
Over the weight of a triceratops
Meanwhile at Disneyland with her kids and can’t ride none of the rides talking about what weight??
Amberlynn Reid fr
Omg I read FA not as Fat activists ..... 😮
as an overweight person in the process of losing weight, it is tempting! believing that you don't have to, that you don't need to work for health, is SO F* tempting! It is easier to just eat your life away, and believing that it is not wrong is freeing. But for me, what I learned so far, is that eating disorder is both ways, under and overweight, and it is what it is, a disorder, that needs treatment! Losing weight is not getting thin, is getting healthy, and you don't need to be thin as society says what is thin, just be what your doctor says is thin! it is enough... I need to lose 20 kilos according to my doctor, and I would need to lose 30 according to some people, and it is hard as fuck, cause everything involves food, you need to eat, it is not like stopping smoking, you can't just don't eat. You need control because you need to eat, but you need to eat right, I feel on edge every mealtime, one single wrong step and I will fall! That is why fat activism is getting stronger because it is easier, not better.
Thanks!
irene thank you so much for the super thanks!!

My mother was also anorexic as a teenager in the 80s
im anorexic. sometimes i binge and eat a lot. i dont look like that. she ovbiously has an ed but its not anorexia.
Binge eating is what she does.
If I'm right, It's binge eating disorder.
fr when i was anorexic, i cried when i had to eat. i ran 5 miles everyday as well as went on a 10 mile bike ride and 3 mile walk with my dog. this was last year. i dropped 30 pounds in a month and i was passing out and hungry all the time, but i thought i was overweight. when someone even brought up the topic of anorexia i laughed in their face like they were crazy. now that i’m recovered, i can see how worried they were for me and i would be too. me seeing this at the time of my ed would be like a slap in the face showing me i’m insignificant and need to lose more weight. this is disgusting and needs to be stopped😢anyone who needs or wants help, please reply and we can figure out a way to communicate bc i’m here for y’all!! (ps, my pfp is me now that i’m recovered❤❤)
i’m so happy you recovered that takes a lot ❤proud of you ! you look great !!
I'm glad you recovered. Like seriously this is just upsetting I gained like 30 pounds after recovering
I’m In active anorexia again I’ve been struggling on and off for years
The math is not mathing 1:22
the problem here clearly is she’s not eating proper full meals during the day then obviously stuffing her self with junk because she’s starved at the end of the day. The worst part is imagine having trouble with your weight and you see this it’s harmful on both ends of the scale
Yup
I deal with this on a regular basis. It is extremely hard to get better.
@@christamist sure is. I am either eat nothing or binge. I used to binge and purge, stopping purging isn't the biggest issue...its breaking that binge cycle, learning better eating habits...its But as I am a recent amputee with years of illness...I am Fairly immoble so...220lbs.. Its like ya can't win for losing sonetimes.
The problem is she didn’t get a diagnosis from a doctor or psychologist who deals with EDs. Her therapist said “if I could I would diagnose you with Ana” also it’s annoying because she probably does have binge eating disorder and she could use her platform to help and advocate for that but she chooses this. 🙄
To be clear Tess started off saying her dietician was the one who said this. She got a lot of flap over that as a dietician cannot make a diagnosis. So she changed her story to say her therapist agreed.
Anna Sweeney, who apparently gave her this diagnosis, is a registered dietitian who also describes herself as a relational nutrition therapist, whatever that is. I do not believe she has a degree in psychology, whether at the undergraduate or graduate level.
It's an insult to us that have been through anorexia weighting 76pounds at 5'10 and having to go through hell to get back on our feet. We need to think what society has come too with all that stupidity around us. Cancel all those people
I've struggled with ana/mia for 17 years and i ain't mad, I'm laughing. I love delusional people 😂

I hope your doing well❤
I hope you are doing okay, that must be so hard
As someone who has struggled with anorexia and bulimia, what pisses me off about this story isn't the fact that Tess probably isn't anorexic but how people are using her weight to dismiss the possibility. I'm not underweight right now, as I tried to go through recovery and gained some weight, but I never eat more than a thousand calories daily, and even that much makes me feel guilty and paranoid. I plan what I'm going to eat days in advance and I can't move on with my life if I don't know what I'm going to eat for the entire week. I am constantly losing weight and feeling like I'm morbidly obese because of bdd. But a lot of the time I don't feel like my feelings are valid because of not being underweight right now. I get it, I'm not anorexic in the typical sense of the word anymore, but I'm still struggling. That is exactly why atypical anorexia exists. Sure, Tess doesn't seem to have symptoms of anorexia such as fear of food, fear of gaining weight, etc, but what I see most people talking about is how impossible it is for someone her size to be anorexic. A person could be obese and have atypical anorexia, that is not the problem here. Saying that she couldn't is denying the whole existence of atypical anorexia and making people like me (normal BMI and struggling) feel even worse about themselves.
As someone who is 20 years old, 5”3 and suffers with anorexia (my lowest weight was 96 pounds(last year) this makes me very sad to use an actual problem people suffer from for fame.
5:02 I cannot get over that dress. It's supposed to be a puffy dress I guess but her arm fat fills in all the puffiness of that dress. LMAO I so love the way you made this video.. IDK why but you popped up on my home screen and here I am! LOL.
0:08 how is no one talking about the name Doeen Yomom???!!!😂😂😂😂
As a former Californian, no one's egos can ever be satisfied 🤣
i know this video is almost from a year ago but for those who are coming at layze saying that overweight people can have anorexia, you’re not wrong but the stuff tess posts on a daily, you can tell she doesn’t have a problem with food or being a fat person bc she’s a plus size model and promotes that. So not only is she offensive to underweight anorexics but also people struggling with being an overweight anorexic.
Love that there are still people with a sense of humor. ✌️🙏
You can be plus size and starve yourself,but Tess Holiday is obviously lying for attention,as someone that had an ed and is still struggling with body image,it’s kinda obvious that Tess isn’t struggling,especially when she constantly says how much she loves her body and even said herself that she’s not eating because she’s busy and isn’t afraid to eat a meal when she has the time to
“I was always making sure everyone else’s cup was full and I wasn’t filling my own” -> Your facial expression…deceased!😂😂😂 Also she’s basically describing “1 meal a day intermittent fasting” - quite popular nowadays, anorexia running rampant!
as someone who used to have an eating disorder. i feel really disgusted by how people can behave like this.
Same
I am a mom. I'm almost 40. When she talks about, "I'm busy, I don't eat all day then I have one meal at bedtime" I was like why the f you lying too because it's a shitty eating habit that is not good for weight loss, but I'm 5'5 and max out at 160 living like this. I call bluff
Btw idk if you know but your kids posting videos on your account
@GyaruGals2 I know. I share the account with them. Thanks for the heads up though.
I was just recently diagnosed with anorexia. I have to push myself to eat but it Is extremely hard. I went from 80kg to 60kg in 2 weeks. Because of my terrible sleep schedule I bearly have enough energy to make it through my day. Hearing someone say they are anorexic then saying. “It’s because I skipped 2 meals.” What the actual fuck. Iam so livid.
IM CRYING THE “you’re not alone” FOOD DISORDER WARNING..
I live in Denmark and as a teenager, I was hospitalised for a whole year because of anorexia nervosa. I weighed 27 kg (under 60 pounds). I was afraid of eating, afraid of gaining weight, afraid of living and afraid of dying. I would exercise excessively everywhere and anywhere at all times. That's my experience with anorexia nervosa. Luckily, I survived and recovered completely but only due to the lengthy hospitalisation.
Sometimes people will tell a lie until they believe their own lie and forget it was a lie to begin with🤣
I could believe binge eating, not anorexia.
i have pcos and i am overweight, i’ve struggled with eating since i was 7 years old. the only time i have been skinny is when i struggled with anorexia. i lost an unhealthy amount of weight, anorexia is being terrified of food and thinking of food 24/7. it’s over working out, and literal torment. i understand what it’s like to be plus size but tess is ridiculous.
8:50 hi, Californian here! in my book, this is called disrespectful😭 my best friend in anorexic and healing but she sent me this video and was really upset by this lady. anyways that’s my diagnosis😽
atypical anorexia is real, but she definitely doesn't have it
I have been here, disordered eating habits (after ED + back at a normal weight + then overweight) etc, it wasn’t I was eating & gaining weight. I had metabolic issues caused by genetic issues & medications that I wasn’t aware were going so & would literally eat one meal a day - not because I was stopping myself but bc I would forget till my husband came home and asked have you eaten anything? But I just didn’t get hunger cues - which couldn’t be further from the truth now! My GP was also the one who suggested to my mum that I had an ED - bc of certain behaviours - and referred me on to mental health help. I don’t know if I even knew what an ED was at the time. I just knew I felt wrong & ashamed of my body & since I couldn’t control the awful things around me at least I could control what I ate/ how I moved etc.
I remember tho that when I actually had an ED (due to trauma) the “anorexic” weight that needed treatment was 40kg. My BMI “ideal” was 42kg. That’s when I realised something was wrong with the system and started finding my way out of it. Happy I did and I’m on the other side now.
But again, I was a crazy weight at one point when I was consciously restricting. I’m sure no one believed me but I did have a metabolic disorder so that’s why I wasn’t losing. I also can’t move much (due to disability) so just bc I wasn’t eating doesn’t mean I was burning calories other than BMR.
2:34 she didn’t fill her cup, she filled her bucket.
LMFAOO 😭😭
Nice one 🤙
Atypical Anorexia does exist, I almost got diagnosed with atypical anorexia once before. I’m overweight but after a medical scare years ago I refused to eat enough food, I would restrict myself to no more than 500/1000cals a day and I would sometimes look at my food and not want to eat it so I would play with it and wait until no one is around and dispose of the food . I would physically cause myself to have hunger pains and I would drink so much water so I stopped feeling hungry, my mum eventually wouldn’t allow me to eat in my room because she knew I wouldn’t eat and at times warned me if I don’t eat she will be taking me to the hospital. I was really close once of developing the disorder so it is very much a real condition, I lost a lot of weight in that one year and I wasn’t just starving myself I was also going to the gym on top of that.
Does she mean bullemic? I'm sorry but Political Correctness has gone even more bonkers. I have mental Illness as in depression, anxiety, so I'm very understanding but please c'mon.
All I say Layzee is thank God for you. ❤️🇬🇧❤️
She is bulimic they don't know the difference.
I am currently struggling with anorexia, and my parents get mad at me for not eating food, I get mad at myself for fearing it. It's not being "too busy" to eat, it's being afraid and panicking at the thought of having to eat that one slice of toast, or that one apple, it's so little food but it's such a huge deal to me.
Its been a year are you okay now?
4:49 Of course they are angry. She is lying about a serious issue just because she can. I don’t think she realizes how much this can affect someone. I hope that anyone who has struggled from anorexia are recovered or on the road to recovery. ❤
As someone who had an eating disorder I definitely think you're right in the idea that she definitely did not have one. She did hit some points that are real though.
For example, I would go days without eating, or eating very little. Like sucking on an almond all day was my meal.
But after a few days would pass I'd have this depressive episode where I'd binge eat, and then immediately force myself to vomit it all back up out of anxiety and guilt and just general anger towards myself and my body.
Because of that, my weight fluctuated a lot, and it kinda broke my metabolism. I wasn't doing anything, working out or leaving the house, I was barely eating and when I did I threw it up. And that ended up causing my body to hold onto whatever it could, which in turn led me to gaining weight. It turned into a vicious cycle.
While bulimic I probably started at around 90lbs, and when I finally sought help I was at almost 300lbs. (This was the course of like 7 years)
It's been about 4 years since I started to get healthy again and I eat a normal amount, even if I have to force it. And I go to the gym. I work a job that keeps me on my feet too. I only check my weight about two or three times a month, and I've managed to lose almost 120lbs in the four years I've been working to better myself.
So that's to say - I do believe there is some truth to things she says about how not everyone with an eating disorder loses weight.
BUT- that's not to defend her. Based on her as a person and the things she says and does, it definitely feels like she's absolutely bullshitting people for attention.
As a person whose been overweight most of their life and eating similarly to how she described, only eating once a day and then going to bed, your body is in starvation mode. It will store that as fat bc it doesn't know when it's going to have sustenance again. Then, going to bed with carbs or sugar in your stomach, that also gets stored as fat. If there's a lack of calorie deficit, you can maintain that weight.
Before my recovery, I was literally scared of food. Trying to eat made me panic. I still struggle sometimes.
Wtf is this...what happend to this world 💀
my cousin almost DIED of anorexia, seeing this woman say she’s “anorexic” fricking hurts bc ppl are dying and she’s over there living the damn life.
Honestly it’s possible she could be anorexic at her weight, but the way she acts says she’s not. As a person who was diagnosed as anorexic a couple years ago, I can tell you she doesn’t show any signs of being anorexic. She skipped some meals, yeah that happens that doesn’t mean you have an eating disorder. She makes me think of the pick me girls who are always diagnosing themselves with every disorder.
that "one meal" she had before bed was probably the entire mcdonalds menu.
probs like 10,000 calories or smth
Her existence is bssed on her body
And then she doesn't "want" people to talk about her weight.
I had an eating disorder where I DIDN’T eat at all because I choked on something as a kid, it basically started from a fear. I took drinks to survive. I have recovered from it now. I didnt have anorexia, but she is NOT anorexic. Skipping a meal does not count as an eating disorder.
The hotline thingy is crazy😭
I feel disgusted whenever I eat any small portion of food, healthy or not. On weekends, I try not to eat at all. Yet, I don't even have the balls to say I have an eating disorder even if I'm on the verge of passing out. The nerve this lady has is actually insane to me.
I hope you get better… I have a friend that have been through this
It was really hard to see her desperately calling me because she was fighting her demons.
I don’t believe anyone should go through this and I don’t want to see you suffer from this
Even if I don’t know you, please take care of yourself you deserve it ❤️
@@darkwlf5798 I was randomly scrolling through the comments and your comment is so sweet
layze: Oh you're suddenly anorexic because you skipped your night snacks"
me while eating noodles at 1 am: shit
Former anorexic person, my most days in a row of not eating was 9 and I fainted.. this is so saddening and under cuts why so many girls have anorexia to begin with
6:36 she could 100% have anorexia and be obese, but theres some symptoms she should have that she doesn't. Like fear of gaining weight, restrictive eating, obsession with food, dramatic weight loss, etc. She doesn't have any of those
I used to be anorexic, and now I do OMAD or 2MAD. Eating one-two meals a day and not obsessing with fear is a COMPLETELY SEPARATE experience.
In my experience when anorexic, I never once forgot to eat. It was a constant battle to stop myself from eating. It's not something you get to forget about when it's pretty much all you think about all day.
And when I did eat, it would hurt, and I couldn't handle eating much quantity whatsoever.
Shed have to have to be eating like 3kg of pure butter for dinner to prevent losing weight at her size.
And, I dont buy for one second that eating one meal a day, or two, is atypical anorexia. It's intermittent fasting, which has a lot of health benefits, and has no basis in fear or obsession. You eat to your hearts content, and has no inherent impact on weight. I mostly do it for convenience.
Anorexia requires discipline. I don't think this lady has even heard of the word discipline.
She is a binge eater.
I went through a binge phase also, and yeah you don't get very hungry between binges if you go crazy with it, but at her weight? She's definitely going absolutely mental with her binges and snacking, so ofcourse she would feel full sometimes in between 😂
shes definitely binging A LOT 😭
I was really depressed because I was made fun of for being overweight, since I'm short, they find it funny. I loosed 15+ kg in less than a month (maybe 2 weeks even?) because I was too embarrassed to eat (my family also made fun of me) they always tell me that I was too fat and I should lessen ny food intake, they made fun of me every time I try to eat something. So slowly I got disgusted by food, I felt like vomiting when eating, and I just don't feel hunger at all. I'm considered underweight now, but I'm still too scared to gain more than 1kg, I do eat, but I often skip meals when I see myself weighing a bit more. I weigh like a 4th grader
I just don't get how people can easily claim they're anorexic, when I don't even claim myself to be one. They're people who have it worst than me, like my bestfriend for example. She have a weigh of a 3rd grade, she has an average weight of a 3rd grader (she often vomits her food) she's literally skin and bones.
It all starts from home, where you feel like you need to try hard. I can't even call this home anymore. It's so hard to do something that won't get you judged.
Please get some help, you deserve it.
Went thru anorexia in my early 20s, literally ate a cup of diluted frozen juice and weighed myself multiple times a day. Got down to a scary weight & it was brought on by the grief I felt when my mom passed. I felt like the only thing I could control was my eating habits & watching the # on the scale go down. Took a long time to recover. This is an insult
Girl you filled a whole pack of Dixie cups.
Im 14 and im overweight for my age. 3 years ago when i changed school i got bullied because of my body. And i started starving myself. Because i thought i would lose weight . Its just made it worst. I made myself sick and depressed. I started eating again. And now im good. Im still overweight but im trying to eat healthier and stuff like that.
I always skip my meals. Sometimes I don’t even eat in a day but I ain’t anorexic just because you didn’t eat your daily dose of three Big Macs doesnt mean your anorexic.
I got down to 80 something lbs and almost died, until I got pregnant. That saved me life. I weigh 135 now. I was 132, 9 months pregnant. So I weigh more now than I did on the day I gave birth. It took me MANY years to learn to love my body. I thought anything over 117 was fat....at 5'7" in height. I do have tiny little bones. So I would truly believe my smaller bones meant I should weigh much less. I could go so long without eating. I would have a couple bites of food per day, and then workout tobirn off the calories I ate. Now I look at my curvy body and feel beautiful. My old pics are so unattractive and voncerning to me. I have pics where my legs are half the size of my 10 year old child. Just horrible. I also developed a bone disorder, after 25+ years of anorexia, and nutrient depravation. She might have symptoms of anorexia ..where she wants to avoid meals....but then has a binge disorder, as well. The binge disorder might be stronger than the anotexia, obviously. I still have to fight to ignore anotexia symptoms, and overeat often. The both can be true. So, I prefer not to judge.
Alos, soneone certified in nutrition (to get myself healthier)...all diets work, if you work the diet. Every diet is lower calories, lower fat. Some diets are better than others. Its a lifestyle change that works best, because eating well should not be temporary or starvation.
as someone with anorexia this is definitely not anorexic 💀💀💀💀
It does make sense to have an official diagnosis available for people whose BMI is over the official cutoff for 'regular' anorexia, but who otherwise fit the criteria. Insurance companies and healthcare systems generally won't cover treatment without an official diagnosis, so you had messed up situations where people already suffering with dangerously disordered eating habits had no choice but to let themselves become even sicker in order to qualify for help. Depending on where you start and how fast you lose the weight, organs can start shutting down well before you're officially considered underweight.
That said, as others have mentioned, regularly being too busy to eat is a problem, but on its own, that's not anorexia
As an actual person that had anorexia, yeah she definitely ain’t anorexic, it’s not her size, just how she acts, she seems to act proud of her body, (and if you were anorexic you wouldn’t be proud of that not to be offensive) and she’s always not just pretending or saying she eats unhealthy processed food, she actually does, when I was anorexic I was afraid to eat a mango or banana because of the sugar and calories, all I have to say is that this is pretending to have a deadly mental disorder, so glad she ain’t relevant anymore
LOL I had to double check the video date, I thought it was 2021 😂😂
2:05 the way he looks at us like “…are you hearing this shit?” 😭😭
Sorry for the life story, but….
I didn’t suffer from anorexia exactly, but this girl makes me mad for those who HAVE HAD/DO HAVE anorexia. I did have a lengthy point in my life where I only let myself have a single bite of something for both breakfast and lunch. Then, I’d eat my dinner, but I’d try to throw it up later in my room. When I could only throw up a little bit of it, I would start sobbing and I’d exercise until I felt awful. Oh, and I’d sneakily drink apple cider vinegar from the fridge because my mom was drinking it to get thinner.
I soon was severely underweight and malnourished…. which my sister would make fun of me for being “malnourished.” She would laugh about it. And then, when she was writing a card to me with words in alphabetical order to describe me, she put “malnourished” for ‘M’.
I think this all happened when I was in middle school because some people there called me fat. I don’t remember
Anyway, now I’m doing better! I still cry sometimes when I gain a single pound, but I just drink lots of water the next day. I allow myself to have a cup of coffee for breakfast, and then I allow myself to eat a lunch and dinner. I’m doing soooo much better now, and I am so thankful.
But people with anorexia go through way worse than me, and my heart goes out to you ❤️
Dario you are the BEST! I laugh hysterically throughout all your videos & can’t wait for the next one. I’ve been binge watching you since I’ve found your channel,please keep putting out this hysterical content.
Dario?
@@user-pj3ig5iq7l that is his actual name,he did a video once & told some personal info
Is Dario his real name, love, love, love that name. Love this guy anymore.
I’m from California and the only way to please her is to 1: fully ignore her 2: Be mean and nice 3: straight up, call herself absorbed and start a fight
My mother has been anorexic her whole life basically. Right now she weighs 97lbs n is 5'5" tall. She's not trying to lose weight now, but because she suffered so many years it's really hard for her to keep eating and gain weight. Eugenia Cooney is anorexic. This chick is not anorexic. I should make a video saying Im so overweight I'm obese. I'm 5'7" n I have a hard time gaining weight also. Last month I weighed 134 now I'm at 127.im so bummed out. I been going to the doctors but they keep saying they don't see anything? But I wake up so nauseous everyday I can't eat until half the day is gone. I can't wait until I get back to 140lbs. I don't like being this skinny. I hate my body right now. Hope I can figure this out soon.
I’m someone who has potentials for anorexia.
I do eat sometimes, however when I do eat I feel guilty about it if I eat more then what I think I should. I am hungry I do feel hunger but I’m not going to eat because I’m scared to. There are days where I won’t eat anything at all and just go on with my day on a cup of milk and water, while I do agree you don’t have to be skinny to be anorexic you can’t be morbidly obese and say “I’m anorexic”😭 and most anorexic people have a changed body image and Tess does not. In fact she promotes it. Saying you have a mental illness that’s so serious for clout is insane. If she was really anorexic she wouldn’t talk about it on tv or whatever that was, it’s not something to be proud of (recovery obviously is) anyway onto my next point. She says she doesn’t eat a lot and if that was really true she would be burning fat like crazy. Anorexia comes with rapid weight loss and I’m not sure if she’s aware of that, whoever gave her that diagnosis is crazy
imagine eating yourself to the verge of death and then claiming to be anorexic
I am anorexic, and I often go two the three days without eating because I am scared to gain weight and I do this every other week so this is kinda annoying
I had to build some muscles and gain some weight. It took me 6 months to gain 2kg. I am not anorexic, but I was still so scared of becoming fat, that I would almost cry in front of my plate. Plus I found overeating physically extremely painful... yes, I feel mocked by her. -.-
i have actual Anorexia and this is actually making me sick, its so disgusting when ppl lie about things that ppl actually die to
You are funny. Thank you, Layze
as a girl who actually has been struggling with anorexia for 2 years, this is just infuriating. ive had to fight so hard to force myself to eat so i wouldnt be forcibly sent to rehab. ive passed out in school from it. my metabolism is forever messed up and now its so hard to feel hungry even if i want to eat, but i force myself to do it even if eating makes me feel sick. god i am so tired of my entitled generation.
I go all day without eating cause I’m at work all day and don’t get a break I could eat between customers but I choose not too. Not because I’m anorexic but because I rather wait till I get home where I can sit down and enjoy it without being interrupted. Which leads to me eating one meal a day but I would call that bad eating habits.
As someone with anorexia and someone who has multiple family members with the disorder this is disgusting and she needs to grow up and realize she is not anorexic
Big people can also have anorexia but she’s trying to say she’s had anorexia this whole time but if that was the case she wouldn’t look the way she does now (which is completely fine i personally think she’s hot) I myself suffered with a VERY mild bout of anorexia and I lost noticeable weight very quickly my family/friends were commenting on it within a month. I myself am not a big person, at my heaviest I was only 186 pounds. That all being said there is a possibility that she DOES actually have anorexia, just a more mild case than we’re used to seeing. It took me 3 years of my own struggles with anorexia to lose 50+ pounds. not everyone with anorexia is rail thin, big people can and do have anorexia as well. Tess was eating ONE meal a day. that is not normal. especially for someone that used to over eat. going from over eating to eating one meal a day is an eating disorder.
😂😂😂
Thanks for telling it like it is!! Love that quality of your videos!
Having been a model, I can't take this seriously. I remember what it was like to look at myself in the mirror (at 92 lbs, 5'6") - _KNOW_ that I was skin and bones and yet I was STILL feeling & seeing FAT, AWARE of my body dysmorphia and how ridiculous it was, and not able to change what I saw and felt. You _know_ it's not real, yet you can't help but feel it. It's the worst. But this? Just attention -seeking behavior at its finest.
