I feel sorry for her knees, they can only carry around that much weight for so long before she will be needing knee surgery.
Forget her knees….
What about her nephews…..
Is it me or does she actually look like Rose McGowen all blown up?
"You need to lose weight." "you should be more body positive.'
"Okay,,, I'm positive you need to lose weight."
"her battle with anorexia" never in history has a battle been so decisively won

She killed all of anorexia's leadership, destroyed the city, led away the lifestock, salted the ground, enslaved the people and raped all its women.
As someone who’s anorexic and in recovery. I find it so horrible that some people will fake an eating disorder and glorify it because it’s not good. It’s a painful disorder where you feel yourself slipping away as you constantly pass out and personally before I was rushed to the hospital I couldn’t even stand. People need to stop treating anorexia as a badge of honor and start treating it as the painful disorder it is.
Yeah I agree, eating disorders should NEVER be glorified (also I hope you can overcome anorexia, I know its not easy, but just hold onto yourself it will be ok 😁)
I am trying to get better, but I don't even know what I wrong with me. I don't like what i see in the mirror and all i see is 'fat' (ppl tell me the opposite) ,I'm afraid of gaining weight and I go from not eating to binging. Then I get so upset about it that I stop eating for a few days to make up for the food I ate and will do a bunch of an exercises the rest of the day. The cycle is repetitive.. Do u know what could be wrong with me? I'm going to try to bring this up to my doctor bc its been a few years and I feel gross
Ab* not an
I have suffered with anorexia and there are all kinds of people that have anorexia. I myself am a recovered* anorexic man, so the idea that anorexic people can come in many different ways even. Even still, 10 years of an ED does not look like that. She even said she’s still eating. Seeing people claim that they have an ed like that is insane.
Honestly, as a person who was once very very big, I think she’s just getting her eating disorders mixed up. She might have bulimia but instead of binging and purging, she’s binging and starving herself. When you starve yourself, your body goes into a mode where it slows down your metabolism so when you binge, you gain an exorbitant amount of weight, then you starve yourself again but you don’t lose the weight because your body is holding on to it.
“Anorexia is an eating disorder where you feel a need to keep your weight as low as possible.” - literal definition.
I had what they called medical anorexia.. I would get so sick when I ate that I wouldn't eat..at first they said I had anorexia and I was like no..5 years later and 80 pounds they found that my intestines was all tied up from adhesions from when I had parentitis when I was ten..so it wasn't because I saw myself as fat but was afraid to eat.this women may have an eating disorder but it isn't anorexia.
@@lorifintel9784 yes!
EXACTLY. When I dealt with it I just didn't eat. I lost 15 pounds in two weeks. It's so different, this is a form of binge eating which is also hard but DIFFERENT
@@lorifintel9784 Here we have a condition called Bulimic Anorexia which is extremely hard to diagnose properly but I can see that easly. Starving mixed with binge eating, terrible actually
Her lowest limit is 400 pounds lol
I’m anorexic, have had disordered eating almost my entire life, this upsets me SO MUCH, i hate how victimisation is a new trend
I wish from the bottom of my heart that u recover from it and live a happy and blessed life remember u are not alone there are lots of people who love u and support u .
@nicolemontcadadupont935 thank you so much, this is so sweet! i wish nothing but all the success love & blessings for you🥹❤️
How are you doing now in 2023, almost 2024?
@@nicolemontcadadupont935she can’t recover from what she doesn’t have 🙄 she needs to recover from the eating disorder she CLEARLY does have which isn’t anorexia… because that’s a blatant lie. Obviously…. Not all eating disorder are the same 🙄 this is just dumb dude. She’s a liar. And it’s offensive to the folks that are actually anorexic… like myself. In all the support groups I’ve been in for half my life almost, there is NO ONE with anorexia that is over weight. She eats too much not too little and she’s a liar.
@@Hailey_13931 somehow even worse😭
This channel is helping me realize I’m actually much more conservative then I ever would have guessed.
Mental illness has become some sort of perverse badge of honor on the left and it’s gross.
From what ive seen, this is THE biggest problem of the left. Well, this and conflating every word thats said that you dont like , with hate. And every situation that may be uncomfortable, abuse.
Same I'm a 16 year old girl but I sometimes feel conservative too. I don't agree with most of the things gen z is trying to normalise
@fly and it’s hard to find like minded people in our generation because if you have even 1 conservative opinion you are shunned and generalised and hit at by a bunch of sheep just like the idiotic ideologies of the left
If you find yourself questioning anything at all then that thing, if only by definition, is not normal. "Be yourself because everyone else is taken". (Oscar Wild)
Don't put yourself in any category. You should question each topic and agree/disagree with what they say regardless if they are conservative or progressive. Otherwise you label yourself and then began to have bias towards whatever label you've placed on yourself. It's OK to agree and disagree with what conservatives and progressives have to say depending on the specific topic.
As European I noticed that in US there is a weird trend of glorifying all disorders, diseases as body positive shlt and fatshaming ect... those are terms intended to justify gluttony and the lack of a proper lifestyle.
Lovely video tho !
ok but who saved you from the Germans?
@@tictacterminator What the hell does that have to do with anything!
America has done a lot of worse stuff than spread whatever trends they are around the globe. Why are you so offended that this person is just stating what they noticed which is accurate? It’s not with everyone, but it’s still with a lot of people
@@tictacterminator Let me guess... Soviets? 🤔
All the crazy shit in the US comes from Europe though, they just made it worse. But this idiotic feminist movement ( not equality, this is a valid fight, but straight up the right to behave like a jackass and get away with it because they have a coochie) being the worst offender.
As an American, I agree and it’s gross 😢
I suffered from Anorexia too. I completely agree that people shouldn’t fake being that way for attention. It’s not a way to make people feel bad for you, it’s a psychological disorder.
Pretending to have Psychological Disorders is Woke.
My sister did and it was hard for my family
🎯🎯
She is definitely not faking being a fat fk.
I agree. That is a serious disorder and it’s life threatening and it’s shocking that people are giving her air time. It’s unbelievably disrespectful for the people who are struggling with Anorexia. People don’t seem to understand that even if you get help and do start eating enough, you can still die from the damage that the organs have been through. This is extremely serious and I don’t know why it shocks me, with the upside down world we’re living in, but this crosses the line in a big way. No pun intended
as someone who has battled ACTUAL atypical anorexia (all the symptoms besides a bmi in the underweight category) for 10+ years, this is APPALLING. i may not have been underweight by bmi standards, but my organs were shutting down, i was physically unable to keep food down, and i almost DIED. this disease is not cute or trendy and for people to claim they have it when there are those of us who have been hospitalized multiple times and continually fight like hell to choose recovery daily is so hurtful and damaging. thank you for reacting to this!!!
Thank you so much for saying this. I’m watching everyone in the comment section saying how much they ate or weighed and that you only have ana if you’re underweight. I’m glad you’re doing better. Best wishes🤗
So sorry you had to go through that! Hope you are doing better now, thank you for saying this.❤❤
It’s so sad we as a society are enabling serious mental health issues .
@Rob yeah it is 🤣
@Rob You are correct. It's a sin. One for which I must often seek forgiveness for. 🤤😋
@Rob yes
Bruce Jenner I am sure would agree lol
@Rob The gluttony itself may not be, but in many cases gluttony is a symptom of some kind of mental illness. Depression is the most common, unhappy people find comfort in a vice usually to cope. Some do drugs, so gamble (like I did), some overdose on cheesecake.
Either way the answer is not enabling these people, it should be correcting the behavior through treating the condition. Of course this woman doesn't want to be "cured" cause then her weight is just a product of her poor decisions, and at some level she probably knows this.
“I’m body positive.”
“But also I’m anorexic.”
“If you don’t believe me it doesn’t matter.”
She’s crazy.
"I reject your reality, and substitute my own."

You can be anorexic and still be body positive. I was just in residential treatment for 3 months and I am still body positive to others just not myself
@@AddisonBrownElsa you also can’t be anorexic and have a BMI above ~18.
So I went into cardiac arrest at 16 years old because I weighed 54 pounds. I was fed through an NG tube for months and hospitalized for 8 months. That’s what anorexia looks like. It doesn’t have to be as extreme but she eats entire cakes, I still can’t eat cake and I’m 48 years old now. I have no doubt that she’s malnourished but I’m pissed at her audacity.
Naa she doesn't eat it she demolish the cake.
You have the right to be pissed anorexia is no joke. I had a classmate who suffered from it she were hospitalized as well.
My classmate asked if I could donate 20 swedish bux back then. I'm all for it. I didn't knew her well, but I would still do the little thing you can do to show that you care.
My step mom is getting out of an in patient facility on Monday. Tess’ claim to be anorexic is horribly disgusting
I’m glad you got better!! That’s something hard to do and very special 😊
I had a friend in middle school that actually died from anorexia. She did have a heart attack. One day we were standing in her bathroom and she said she was so hungry and she started eating toothpaste. We asked her why she didn’t just eat and she said, “because I’m so fat nobody would even talk to me anymore if I get fatter”. I don’t even think she weighed much more than you did when you hit Rock bottom with it. One day she wasn’t at school anymore and the teacher announced that she had died. We all knew why. It was a very sad time. That did not happen very often in 1984. 🥺
the same thing happened to me when i was 17, almost to a T. i'm happy you're still here. it's a terrible and painful disorder to have
She’s a binge eater who binges so hard interment fasting does nothing. I was bulimic I never got skinny it’s just I was an extreme binge eater I’d eat whole cartons of ice cream to feel stuffed and throw up because while I wanted to feel full I never thought I deserved it cause I was broken looking to be whole not just empty.
She has an eating disorder, but it certainly isn't anorexia.
If this is her with anorexia, I am scared what she looks like without anorexia
She has:
1. Psychological problems
2. Diabetes
3. Insuline Resistance
4. The worst combo which is Bulimic Anorexia 🤦🤦🤦 Extremely hard to diagnose properly but I can see that easly.
lmao fr
🤦🏾♀️🤣
😭
She would turn into the average california citizen
Above all the disorders she could've claim she had, the fact she choose anorexia it's beyond me
Exactly. She could have said absolutely anything else and it would have maken more sense.
That might be exactly why she's claiming anorexia. It makes her stand out the most because it's so unlikely
“I think I’m fat but I’m actually skinny” is pretty much what that lady is doing. Next level delusion
The definition of anorexia according to the Mayo Clinic is "an eating disorder characterized by an abnormally low body weight, an intense fear of gaining weight and a distorted perception of weight". I think she does not qualify.
I will say that could be altered just because there are some people who have those eating habits yet still arent medically underweight. As in, if someone was 90 pounds but had a binging cycle during their eating disroder and went back to maybe 100, the lower end of their average weight, are they recovered? Obviously not to the extreme of this video though
@@geko9214 that’s where Atypical Anorexia comes in. Basically all the habits are their, the fear of being overweight/gaining weight is there, but they don’t yet qualify for significantly low body weight.
Again, though, skipping meals and then having a huge one later (there’s no way you can sustain weight for years without staying on a calorie surplus) is not a characteristic of Anorexia.
The distortion part is correct here.
according to her 'anorexia' every muslim right now is anorexic
She prob weights more than half my car I think it's obvious the body weight of her isn't low
She skipped her 10th meal of the day and decided to call anorexia 💀
Lol exactly
WHOEVER DIAGNOSED HER SHOULD HAVE THEIR LICENSE REVOKED FOREVER!!!
Medical malpractice, doing her a disservice.
This woke nonsense makes doctors completely disregard the hippocrati oath. First thing, DO NO HARM.
Enabling nutcases IS HARM!

These are the same "experts" telling us children under 5 need a gender change to fix their "dysphoria"
@@antares5561 🤮🤬
That woman is a hell of a lot closer to an episode of My 600 pound life than she is convincing anyone with working eyes that she's anorexic. I honestly thought this was a prank at first.
Id bet money that even a blind person would know she is far from anorexic
Someone call Dr. Now!! She needs him desperately!
Working ears only, you can hear the fat blocking her vocal cords
😂🤣😂🤣
When she said she was anorexic and didn't eat, I thought to myself... You could probably not eat for 3 years and still survive, you could stand to lose some weight so maybe not eating would be good for you... There's a difference between body positivity and being morbidly obese and fine with it. I'll be surprised if she makes it to 50.
The only thing she struggles with is knowing the definition of anorexic.
Facts
And putting the fork down.
and the 7/11 struggle to not spend 700 dollars.
I mean her grasp on reality seems quite bad as well as her physical health😂
Stairs and doorways might be an issue
I dealt with anorexia when I was 16, I never ate, and I was underweight. This woman is not anorexic
Person with ED and a clinical psych degree here. The huge joke about this is that she is just taking advantage of the ED communities' efforts to legitimize the cases of people who develop anorexia at a high weight so they can be diagnosed and treated before they are severely underweight. In these cases though, the people actually engage in prolonged starvation and experience drastic weight loss and malnutrition. Same can't be said for her. What Tess Holiday has is BED - intermittent starvation periods of a day, skipping meals and so on is actually VERY common in BED because people believe they can 'reverse' binges or try to prevent them by abstaining from food entirely, but it just reinforces the binging behavior.
The reason she wants to play delusional is because acknowledging BED as a disorder would completely delegitimize her entire career because it would show that actually, being this fat is not healthy and was the result of a mental illness, not because it is beautiful or comfortable or to be celebrated. But it would make her a hypocrite, so she chooses to lie her arse off and drag all of us through the fucking mud.
ED -Erectile Disfunction? If she took her clothes off most men would experience ED.
Vast majority of problems nowadays exist because people can't swallow their pride. When they realize their wrong, their pride prevents them from being humble, taking the L, and moving on. No, they need to double down.
This is such a good comment, and it makes so much sense. There is no possible way a decade of true anorexia would allow her to remain at her weight. But BED definitely would. I've definitely struggled with disordered eating in the past. I was never under-weight because I would undereat/overexercise and then binge which would "undo" the undereating behaviors. I just think she is in denial. By calling it anorexia, she is ignoring the other half of her eating behaviors probably from shame or just full on denial because binging is a comfort behavior for a lot of people and can be addictive as you know. I think that can be a harder behavior to acknowledge in a lot of ways especially since binging is viewed very negatively and as a shameful behavior. Far more than not eating or eating very little, in my opinion, which is often praised. And I agree, if she came out and admitted to the world that she has BED and sought help for it, it would really really hurt her career. Especially when you see how people have turned on women like Adele and Rebel Wilson for losing weight and getting healthy. Her entire brand is based on being overweight. Getting healthy and learning to eat normally would inevitably cause her to lose weight which could really hurt her brand.
look im sorry.. but when you say ED i do not think about eating disorder.. just sayin
@@fishfood8719 BAM!
As a physically recovered anorexic, who still struggles with thoughts - I can understand someone being in a bigger body and still considered mentally ‘anorexic’. That being said at my lowest I was under 80lbs and know that the mental recovery always takes longer than the physical recovery - so still dealing with it internally.
It’s angering to the whole ED community - you cannot know the anorexic struggle while simultaneously maintaining a high BF %, simply because anorexia is a disease of the mind that doesn’t allow you to eat and thus shows physically through a malnourished body.
The way she represents it indicates it’s not something she genuinely struggled with, but rather is misappropriating it for attention and publicity.
We don’t just restrict and ‘eat a meal at night’. We restrict and celebrate being able to survive not eating that meal at night - and use it as a benchmark to even further restrict intake. We agonise over any bite of food. Compare two labels for hours in the grocery store before leaving with none because the thought of putting something in your mouth feels sick. I could go on - but the point being - she does not represent the anorexic struggle.
i thoroughly agree as someone who has also physically recovered from anorexia. its a disease of the mind. I was overweight when my anorexia was coming to the light and became severely underweight within 2 years, because I literally couldnt eat, thats why anorexics are so skinny, i wish people understood that- I appreciate how well you explained in your comment anon
I relate a lot to you in what you wrote.
I to struggled with an ED for many many years, and am recovered now, but your mind (Satan tbh) still plays tricks on you even years later. The fact that not only this woman, but others with mental illness are being applauded, it’s sickening. These people NEED help, from someone who actually has the qualifications to diagnose someone. Cause her Dr. Doesn’t know anything about ED.
I love how she used the phrase: “if if resonates with your feelings, than it’s true” 😅 Ummmmm… NO.
I am 13 and was just in res treatment and these comments make me actually sad
@@AddisonBrownElsa Youre not alone. I'm glad I found a sane person.
Thank you, I totally agree with this. As someone who is currently in recovery after relapsing with anorexia i find it absolutely disgusting that anyone would pretend to have this. So many people these days fake it or do it for clout without realizing that not only do they not know the extents that anorexia can destroy your body but also are offending the entire ed community. And they also think they're "believable" and deserve "sympathy" or "admiration". I can't believe it.
As someone with an eating disorder, who has friends with anorexia, and who is getting advanced degrees in medical sociology to understand eating disorders in the US society, I can state that she does not have anorexia. Certainly disordered eating, possibly BED, but not anorexia, even atypical anorexia. It pisses me off.
The redefining of every word is the goal
When one has no place to stand
They will fall to their knees
Morbidly Obese can Identify as Anorexic.
It is just as logical as any other Woke Garbage.
I dont have Anorexia, am just really underweight and it pisses me off.
It's in remission.
You're arguing from authority. I don't need any medical degree to know she's probably lying
One of the diagnostic criteria for Anorexia (including Atypical Anorexia - which Tess says she has) is intense fear of weight gain/sense of disgust at your current weight
This woman has paraded around for years showing every inch of her body and repeatedly saying in content and interviews how happy she is with how she looks and that she loves her fat body
…Something isn’t adding up here 🤔
Thank you for saying this!!!! I struggled with atypical anorexia myself after struggling with binge eating. I engaged in the behaviors that people with anorexia do and would’ve been diagnosed with official anorexia if I had gotten to the point of being underweight (which I would’ve if I had already been at a healthy weight when I started) and I was TERRIFIED of gaining weight. I was disgusted when I looked in the mirror and it got to the point that I regularly went days without eating. When I did eat it was only little bites so people wouldn’t be suspicious and the thought of eating scared me so much I would get panic attacks. It is NOT the same thing as skipping a meal every now and again while actively parading obesity.
@@April-Marie_ from my knowledge of other peoples stories with disordered eating and my own past experiences with Bulimia and Anorexia…self loathing towards yourself and your body always seems to be such an integral part of EDs. It’s not Tess’s size specifically that makes me disbelieve her, it’s the way she always spoke about her own body and showed it off. She always seemed so proud of the way she looks and has gone out of her way to always speak positively about herself and her body. She has spent years showing her body off publicly and gaining attention for her physical looks. I realise that people have different experiences with disordered eating but her behaviour just doesn’t line up with everything I know of Anorexia (atypical or otherwise)
If she truly has been struggling with an ED then I hope she can heal and gain control but I genuinely worry that she is just using the name of Anorexia to garner clicks, headlines and attention
I really hope I’m wrong tbh because if she is lying it’s just SO disrespectful to those who have suffered, those who are still struggling and those who have lost their lives to the horrors of ED
There is no such thing as “my truth”, there is only “the” truth. Also I love this show. So glad the Daily Wire brought you on.
Yeah, I was slightly skeptical at the beginning, but then when she said that it’s her truth, I could listen no longer.
Totally agree!
Several years ago, I would put 20 pounds of scuba diving weights in my pockets and underwear (for weight distribution.. not joking) when going to the doctors. This was to hide the fact I was under 100 pounds during the weight check. I didn’t want my doctor to suspect anything. She previously asked questions about my weight and kept putting pressure on me to gain. You’ll never know fear, until the nurse asks you to empty your pockets. Not the fear of embarrassment.. but the fear of being forced to gain weight. This… is what anorexia looked like for me. I would’ve never in a million years told a therapist… I didn’t want anyone to tell me I needed help.
Hope you're doing better now. I'm the opposite lol I'm a big boi and I eat like once a day but a big meal, sooo not even close to anorexic
but why you have diving weights
This was my first thought was "I imagine people who were actually anorexic had to be so pissed." I hope that you are doing so much better and thank you for sharing an actual account of what it would be like to struggle with this disease. I've never gone through what you have but I can imagine that having a bad relationship with food must be a nightmare.
I've been eating a meal a day for so long now. That's not anorexia, it's called living the college life
You bigot! Student privilege! 😅
It is sometimes called retirement as well.
Or intermittent fasting. Which is a diet thing right now. 🤷🏻♀️
I love ramen noodles!
Ate Roman noodles daily back then lol
“She also amassed something else” HELP 😭😭
I love Brett sm I was dying
She is obviously a physics fan. She understands more mass equals more gravity. The problem is I believe she thinks that means she will attract more followers the bigger she gets. The new ideology of the left, Social Gravity. LOL
Stop! Don't give them more ideas LOL
She identifies as Jupiter
that's pretty funny
@@beauregardrippey5508 so if she is swimming and has a safety ring around her will she identify as Saturn.
@@beauregardrippey5508 🤣🤣
She said she would "grab a few handfuls of whatever was around" and then have a full dinner right before bed. When I was anorexic, I would go for up to 2 weeks without eating anything, and even then I wasn'tgoing for handfuls of anything. I weighed under 100 pounds because I was malnourished. A major and notable effect of the disorder. This is absolutely ludicrous.
You would have to eat 10 000 calories a day to maintain that size and weight. What a 1 meal wow
I was diagnosed by a psychiatrist as anorexic and I ate.. in my anorexic eyes my one “meal” consisted of a handful of almonds & like five crackers. Extreme calorie deficit is anorexia. I weighed 90 lbs at 17..
Just sharing my experience so happy you recovered❤️
Yeah I lived off of coffee and an apple a day for years!! I’d have fallen into an even lower size bracket had my coffee addiction not been putting milk into me 😒 this ain’t anorexia this is a scream for attention 😑
That, however, doesn't mean that anyone who doesn't go for that long without eating or eats regularly, cannot have anorexia (not saying that the woman depicted in the video does). I definitely ate, every day, regularly when I was anorexic. And I had been properly diagnozed with both anorexia and bulimia later on.
@@ludmilacervena1647 thank you that’s what I was trying to get across with my comment🙏❤️
As Matt Walsh says: “her recovery seems to be going very well”
In all seriousness as someone who’s come dangerously close to dying from anorexia, this is beyond insulting. Tho I will say that she looks exactly like I imagined myself looking during my Ed
It's kind of funny how she acts like people with anorexia just forget to eat, like we just lose our apetite completely. When I was 14, very underweight and my ED was at its worse, I literally had dreams about food every night. it was so weird. I thought about it all the time.
She has body dysmorphia. When you see your body as the opposite of what it is. Anorexics think they are too fat when they are actually too thin. She’s too heavy but thinks she’s anorexic
In her defense, she wasn’t eating anything but two quarter pounders with cheese, a crispy chicken sandwich, a triple decker bacon burger, three large fries and a vanilla shake with a side of family pack nuggets. Almost nothing all day.
You forgot the 2 dozen eggs, 2 lbs of bacon, chicken fried steak with gravy, biscuits, hash browns, 1 lb of lil smokie sausages, and a diet coke.
I swear that'd last me a week
Maybe I can be that hungry, after I burn a few tens of thousands of extra calories a week for a month without adjusting my diet.
Yup. I have actually witnessed that while my friend gobbles down an entire large pizza to herself. Shes all... You know me! I dont eat that much. Ridiculous.
Forgot to add that’s all washed down with a minimum of a 12 pack of coke,Mtn dew ,dr pepper or something of that nature 😂😂 that’s not including the 3-5 large drinks she has when out and about
Her "psychologist" got their license from cereal box.
Worse, they got it from Twitter
Also, psychologists don’t diagnose eating disorders
Or from a mandate from Dr. "Trust the science" Fauci.
the psychologist has a PhD in Stoopid!
Maybe a cracker jack box
i sometimes do not eat breakfast, and tend to go to bed without eating dinner. that does not mean i have an eating disorder. Brett is right, she doesn’t need to make a big deal about it.
So brave for opening up to the world about your intermittent anorexia
I regularly eat once a day and not eating for 1-2 days at a time quite frequently.
Occasionally i go 4-7 days without eating. I still don't have an eating disorder, i just don't feel like eating.
@@BB-1990 unfortunately disordered eating doesn’t need to be intentional. I do the same thing. It’s not anorexia nervosa because ur not intentionally restricting food, but just the word anorexia alone means not having an appetite in the medical field. You should still definitely talk to a doctor about it because your body still isn’t getting the nutrition it needs, even if you simply just don’t feel hungry.
@@michaela389 Nah, i'm good and healthy.
i eat most the time one meal a day or 2 sometimes and never proper portions but im not anorexic i just don't eat often or properly and as someone who has had friends struggle with it this really vexs me if you don't eat properly it doesn't instantly make you anorexic with one of my friends she started wearing thicker clothes because you could see skin streteched over her bones she looked like someone had starved her for months its insane what some people do for attention like why is it in america if you have any sort of disorder or illness and just any sort of physical or mental minority basically gets glorifed to the point people jump on the bandwagon for attention its nuts because it makes it harder to help people actually suffering the real negitives of any disorder like im on the functioning end of the autistic specrtum suffer severe anxiety ocd hypersensitivity and also suffer from hypermobility and chronic pain while dealing with mild asthma to me these are part of my life or a hinderance that iv got to reduce the effect on my life as much as possible like the fact i can't even be in a crowd of 10 without nearly having a full on shutdown or the fact my chronic pain tends to keep me up all night there is nothing great about physical or mental disorders so the fact people glorify them is rather insane to me
My girlfriend struggles with anorexia and I brought this up to her. She finds it absolutely disgusting and I don't blame her. Most times she feels like she will throw up at the thought of food, and eating one meal a day is sadly rare. I try my hardest to remind her that she is perfect in my eyes, and that it isn't based off her looks or weight. Seeing this after living with the effects of an actual disorder is sickening, and what makes it worse is that she tries to say that it's "her truth", which just takes away from the stories of so many other people who are truly suffering.
If you are actually struggling with an eating disorder, I am proud of you for the progress you made, and people will love you for you, not an arbitrary number on a scale.
My cousin has battled anorexia her entire life, she’s in her mid 20’s. She just got admitted to a hospital and missed Christmas because she weighed 67 pounds. That’s about the same as one of Tess Holiday’s arms. But okay, sure, Tess you’re anorexic. Congrats. You earned it!
I hope your family member recovers. Anorexia eats at the person not just the weight beyond me people like Tess think it’s only about skipping a few meals. I pray for your cousin’s recovery ❤️🩹
It her truth! You just don't understand. If you continue to disbelieve her claims, be prepared to battle a 350 pound anorexic.
see, that's not anorexia. that's a side-effect of anorexia. not everyone has that group of side-effects. any psychiatrist, dietician and endocrinologist worth their salt will confirm that. hi. it's me. been to all 3. never was tied to an IV. was diagnosed and confirmed by all 3.
Years ago, my doc sent me to a therapist because of my weight. I was and still am very overweight. This therapist made me take a test. The results: I was 60% anorexic & 40% bulimic…I said, “So, you’re telling me I throw up & exercise all the time?” She confirmed her diagnosis. I said, “No, I eat way too much & DO NOT EXERCISE, therefore, I’m fat!” I laughed, walked out, and switched doctors. Tess probably really had someone tell her this. Unfortunately, she liked the diagnosis. My doc was on staff at Emory in Atlanta…pure insanity.
I'm very sorry about your condition. I know what future awaits you and it ain't pretty. I used to sell medical equipment to hospitals where overweight people slowly had their toes and legs amputated due to diabetes.
A 30 minute walk outside is enough to make a serious change in your condition. If you can't do that start with 5 minutes and work your way up from there. It needs to be outside in the sunshine to have the full effect. Just a slow walk is enough.
How did they come up with putting percentages on eating disorders?
My sister was diagnosed with anorexia when she wasn't thin yet (because anorexia is first of all a mental disorder) but it didn't take her a decade to become thin... no it took her a few months. This is making me sooooo angry. You can't stop eating or not eat enough and stay the same weight, or you are lying to yourself and your therapist. I don't doubt that she has an eating disorder but I really don't think it's anorexia. She says she would eat what would be around her during the day and then eat at night. That's literally the OPPOSITE behavior of an anorexic person. My sister would eat her only meal in the morning (as early as possible so that she would have time to burn all of it before going to bed) and then eat vegetables only before dinner (she had to because otherwise she would faint in the morning). The dinner meal she's talking about just scream "I don't know what I'm talking about" to me. My sister was hospitalized for months and she made friends there who also were anorexic and most of them had the same "basic" / "classic" symptoms. It was actually fascinating how similar their anorexic behavior were even before meeting each others.
So to summarize, this obese woman is not anorexic. Agreed.
As somebody who was anorexic, I spent over 5 months in the hospital and still haven’t regained half of my healthy weight back. This is absolutely disgusting and horrible. When you are anorexic, you start off INTENTIONALLY not eating until it just becomes a habit. I wonder how the fat positive movement would react if they us healthy people said we were obese and overeating… it’s the same thing
hi there, i saw this comment and i hope that you're doing better. i know how hard it can be, and here's a lil dinosaur in case you want it: 🦕
Same here. When I was hospitalized I had 86ibs (39kg), and I am 67inc (170cm). But the weight is smaller problem. When you are sick, you are proud on your weight, and you really don’t think straight. I still don’t have normal menstruation. You need years to gain weight, beat depression…

When I had anorexia I was ~115lbs (I’m tall) and although I still struggle with disordered eating it’s no longer *anorexia* because I’m not severely underweight (part of the literal criteria). Tess needs to accept that she has some type of EDNOS or binge ED, but definitely NOT anorexia!

So I have had atypical anorexia; I was starving myself for a year or two, lost 100 lbs and was still an overweight bmi. So it exists.

Acting weird or crazy isn't "Autistic"
Being skinny isn't "anorexic"

I was going to give her the benefit of the doubt because there was a point in my life I was overweight and anorexic. The MOMENT she said it was "her" truth, I was done. It's either the truth or it's not. "Your" truth is opinions about things going on around you, which is bias and emotion-based.
Insanity is the point where everyone tells you you're insane and you refuse to listen
“I was filling everyone’s cups but mine wasn’t full” bro brought up a book from the first grade 💀
Honestly, as a person who was once very very big, I think she’s just getting her eating disorders mixed up. She might have bulimia but instead of binging and purging, she’s binging and starving herself. When you starve yourself, your body goes into a mode where it slows down your metabolism so when you binge, you gain an exorbitant amount of weight, then you starve yourself again but you don’t lose the weight because your body is holding on to it.
If she does have an ed it's either BED or OSFED. She just doesn't fit into any of the criteria for anorexia (not trying to joke here, she literally meets NONE of the diagnostic criteria)
Oh my god I had this!! I didn’t realise it was an actual thing and I just assumed I had bed or something..
Same thoughts.
"My truth" really means "my delusion"
Eating once a day is intermittent fasting, not anorexia. If only that one meal was healthy she wouldn't be a blob... with "anorexia "
if only she'd excercize 3 days a week (doesnt need to be much, 40 minutes is plenty) and ate 3 to 4 healthy meals a day, she'd be healthy in no time.

Tess definitely doesn’t have anorexia. But I’d argue that someone can eat once a day and battle with anorexia. The mentality while skipping meals is what determines if you have an ED, not so much the amount of food your eating per se. Bc if we don’t eat at all we’d be dead.
This is ridiculous but to be fair, her therapist is the problem if he/she diagnosed her with 'anorexia". Of course, Tess being the attention craving, self-victimizing narcissist she is, latched onto that label immediately and probably will never let it go but I'm astounded that a theoretically qualified therapist would diagnose her with that...

She definitely has an eating disorder. Its just not anorexia.
Remember folks, notball EDs make you skinny. The most common types do the opposite.
As someone who has struggled with eating disorders, BED is totally believable for her, but not anorexia. A lot of anorexics start from heavier weights, but they generally end at lower weights. A lot of Tess Holiday’s behaviors also are very different from anorexia sufferers. People with anorexia don’t like showing off their body or eating in front of others. A symptom of anorexia is losing weight, which is clearly a symptom that she hasn’t displayed.
Generally, that may be more common to be afraid of showing one's body, but then there are other models, even dancers and athletes, that suffer from anorexia too
I think she has a very obvious, very common and very serious eating disorder. It's called food addiction.
Many people think anorexic means skinny and it’s difficult
@@justanotherviewer7117 you're wrong 🤣

If she's anorexic, the what does that make me
As someone recovered from anorexia for want of a better term, just eating snacks through the day and pigging out at night, yeah that aint it. Try for 2 years constant, not consuming anything solid, getting by on tea with sugar, to keep you somewhat moving, while looking at your bones sticking out and feeling gutted that they don't stick out more! And then being told if you do not start to eat something you are going to be admitted into the hospital and not allowed to leave till you start to get back to eating and gaining weight. I sadly was in an abusive relationship at the time and was constantly told I was fat and disgusting which was what cemented me fully in the world of not gaining and desperately trying to lose weight. But this land whale claiming she is in that boat, not even close lady, you couldn't fit on that boat, nor would I wish you to. It is a freaking selftorture it is not fun, or quirky, or cute. It is sad and desperate and painful and lonely. For me it was a long time ago and I am healthy now have been for more than 22 years, but I still remember and you do not want that.
Jesus anything to avoid going on a healthy diet ehh Tess smh.
“My eating disorder was really severe so this other eating disordered person’s ED doesn’t exist because they don’t look anorexic to me”.
Restricting throughout the day and then binging during the night, that’s still an eating disorder. Could be classified as atypical anorexia binge/purge subtype. It’s still an eating disorder. Obese and overweight people die of anorexia aswell. For someone with an eating disorder, you seem to be spewing out some self satisfying ignorant bs. Your eating disorder wasn’t more valid bc you became more unwell. That’s the kinda thinking to leave while in recovery.

I get it...but like there are many different ways to have anorexia...look up atypical anorexia before you dismiss other people's experiences just because they're different. The fact is because anorexia is a menal illness and not a body type in itself proves that anorexia doesn't pick and choose based on the appearance of the person.
I've dealt with anorexia for years and this is completely insulting. You don't get or stay that way by eating nothing all day. It's not something to brag about to have an eating disorder, it's a problem. Thank you for bringing out the truth, Brett.
I was diagnosed with anorexia when I was 16. Personally, for me it was about not feeling in control of my life so I took control in a way I knew I could.
i felt like that too
same here, i had anorexia and orthorexia right when quarantine started... I'm a perfectionist and control freak sometimes so I can totally relate
Same. Mine started at the age of 15, after my mom died, I also had diagnosed OCD. I started medicine for OCD but started working with an awesome therapist my dad found for me, I slowly got off the meds, & she taught me awesome skills to cope with my diagnosis. That lady saved me in more ways than one, I uncovered my weight was the only thing I had control over, as far as that OCD, mine was fearing fire..... I was always worried I would burn my dad's house down by leaving a straighten or the iron on. I learned through my sessions that fear of fire, was literally because of the trauma of losing my mom, and having to "lose" my home I shared with my mom. She literally had my dad buy me a camera, so every morning before school I could photograph my straightener, iron, stove, then when I got home my dad would watch while I deleted the previous days "off pictures". It was replacing one ritual with another, then one day I just stopped. I had to learn to trust myself.
Omg! Right?
Omg... Im floored.
Hugs
I’ve been diagnosed with atypical anorexia but I was very well on my way to just anorexia. My parents caught the signs early and so that’s why I never lost copious amounts of weight. If she’s been suffering this long she would’ve lost more weight.
She needs to lose more weight. I have a POS eating disorder, meaning I don't fit the diagnosis of any of the eating disorders. I binge, purge, and with hold, but I'm also not 200 pounds over weight or underweight. But maybe 20 pounds overweight.

Anorexia is a mental illness not a body type 🙄
There’s a thing called anorexia with binge/purge subtype. While less common a person who is overweight or obese can still experience disordered eating behaviors such as anorexia and binge eating disorder at the same time even. So technically she does have anorexia too. But I know y’all wouldn’t ever agree on this even though you always preach about facts. And the people on the comments just expose themselves as being blind followers without actually educating themselves deeper on the subject.
I struggled with anorexia during high school and continue to battle it as a 30 something now. This is a huge slap in the face to those of us who have fought this horrible mental illness that doesn’t just affect us physically but in all aspects of our lives. Tess Holliday is performative.

Ok. So it’s definitely weird and hard to believe a fat person could be anorexic. But that’s not actually very uncommon. Regardless of weight, if someone loses a lot of weight, even if it’s not that noticeable (420 lbs to 390 lbs in 2/3 months for example) to most, little things can change everything. if they are eating less than their recommended calories, etc., it doesn’t matter if they’re 500 lbs., if they lose 40 lbs in just a few months, they’re technically anorexic. This can have horrible affects on the body.
5:18 judging from her appearance she has completely recovered from anorexia
my mom studies eating disorders and stuff like that and she said this lady doesn’t have anorexia and literally barely reaches one criteria. she’s saying she forgets to eat, that would be a feeding disorder but it feels like she’s trying to make it sound like it’s on purpose which perplexes me. I honestly.. no offense think she just wants major attention because “eating a handful of something in the morning and a full meal at night” is NOT anorexia. my mom has so many patients that are young girls, older women and even some men that would be so offended by their disorder/disease being made a mockery of. Thank you Brett, for addressing this
^^THIS RIGHT HERE. Having an ED of any kind takes over your life. It’s not like “oopsie, I got diagnosed with anorexia?”. The shame and guilt around food and body image alone that comes w the territory, there’s no way she’d be able to do her job and post as many videos of her eating to social media like she does. I would have quit my job and never left the house if a video got out like that of me back in the day. Ik everyone’s experience varies but the general outline I feel stays pretty similar and this Tess holiday is a liar and absolutely disgusting for it.
Also, your mom sounds cool
I work with people with eating disorders. Tell your mother to look up Atypical Anorexia in the DSM 5. We don’t know if she meets all the criteria because we haven’t fully assessed all of her symptoms and only know the few she mentioned. I assume she is working with a doctor who diagnosed her. She could also have malnutrition from restrictions in her diet because of anorexia.
Clinically she could be anorexia but unless you assess her you can’t say she is not anorexic because she isn’t think.

Not if they rely on their eyes and not on vitals and blood labs.

But I had a doctor just look at me and say, "you're underweight, you should consider gaining more," to which I would reply "I would like to, but really my BMI says that am right in the middle of where I should be." I had to stop seeing that lady because she was causing me more stress.
Now I am in my middle age, and I am happy with how my body looks with the weight gain, but it came with PCOS and prediabetes. I just can't win. :/
I did an infographic for school about anorexia, and my older sister had/has anorexia. This woman DOES NOT HAVE ANOREXIA!!! Anorexia includes a deep fear of being overweight. Symptoms of anorexia also include yellowish dry skin, hair breakage, and a loss of menstruation all due to a lack of fat. Anorexia is also purposefully not eating so you will be skinny. My sister, at the peak of her anorexia, would only eat an apple and a few almonds each day and she lost her period. Anorexia is no joke, and this lady needs a new diagnosis.
So from 1 minute of googling and 2 minutes of reading, what I have gathered is:
1. You can have anorexia no matter your weight
2. Whatever Tess describes as "anorexic" is not actually anorexic
Your initial weight has nothing to do with anorexia. It the changes that matter

@@whokilledjesse. isn't being anorexia more like the state in which the bmi declines quickly to a critical low and stays there or goes even lower
So it wouldn't really matter how high you start (but in 10 years you'd definetly be underweight prob even in 0.5 to 1 year)
I can't stand the whole "my truth" thing. Drives me crazy. It's either the truth, or its not.
This has to be part of the "I identify as" culture.
There is such a thing as atypical anoerexia--to qualify for actual anorexia, you have to have a bmi below 17. Atypical anorexia you are still starving yourself though.
"MOOving on" 🐄🐮😂 All joking aside, as someone who has had anorexia it's pretty disgusting to see her make these claims she obviously doesn't know what anorexia is...
“But below the surface, Tess, says she’s been suffering from an eating disorder”
Me: Aw good for her the first step is admitting it and with a weight loss program you could slim down in no time.
“‘I’ll eat later’ but later never happens”
Me: WHAT! …WTF!
@@Kalbuir66 that “meal before bed” was an entire feast.
Honestly peoples weight has nothing to do with anorexia this is just diet culture in your minds
I'm calling BS on that 🤣 🤣
@@AddisonBrownElsa anorexia has a lot to do with weight. If you're an adult under 100 pounds then you have a problem, if you're an adult over 300 pounds you have a different problem
@@calibcrockett where are you getting this info? Yes it has a lot to do with weight but 7% of people with restrictive eating disorders are under weight the rest are not.
When I first started the video I was thinking something along the lines of "oh, they probably are in early stages of anorexia therefore she isn't skinny like most?" But hearing that she is claiming it for YEARS? That doesn't sound right. She might have some form of ED but I don't think she should be claiming it as anorexia. I have family who was diagnosed with anorexia and it isn't a joke. Don't downplay other peoples disorders so you can feel included.
