niya bluegirl, “chucky.” I think she might be naturally fat because most girls get their father’s genes so her father’s genes were probably being fat. OR, it could’ve been babyfat.
I was gonna say: The higher end of the healthy BMI range is ~24. If you look up what that looks like, it does look plus sized. Like I said, though, it’s still a healthy BMI. However, a lot of people will still see somebody who looks like that and call them “obese.” I think the fat acceptance movement should be for those kinds of people, who are in fact healthy but don’t “pass” as such because they aren’t skinny. Nobody should be told to hate their body type if it isn’t going to kill them-especially if they can’t control it (don’t even get me started there)
Being just overweight doesn't mean poor health but being extremely overweight is. It is difficult to lose fat because your body has evolved to retain fat as much as possible. The problem is that we have access to too much in a single setting. Being overweight doesn't always mean you're fat anyways. If you have high muscle density and low fat density, you can be overweight. But that doesn't sound bad, does it? Also, being underweight doesn't make you any better. I am slightly underweight but I still have quite a lot of fat. Doctors often mistake me for being skinny. It sucks but I know I'm not the only one. If you have low muscle densities but high fat ones that cancel each other out, you could be in the acceptable or even underweight range!
MasterTofu Melissa I’ve had so many of my friends who are wrestlers and body lifters who completely ruin their mental by the scale saying they are overweight. If you are having this issue, it’s because muscled is HEAVIER than fat. Your BMI saying you are overweight is not saying you are fat and need to eat less it’s saying that you have so much muscle!
Being extremely obese doesnt mean your body evovled to retain weight more thats literally so rare and hard to even confirm. Unless you really try to lose it and be healthy it will be hard to know the truth. Being extremely obese can also mean you dont take care of your self not just saying its based on genes.
My dad is overweight and is not obese at all but his weight does affect his health his old age and his job make it harder on him and he even recently gotten an injury that was caused by his weight and for people at his age its hard to lose weight and im just worried for him. its batter to stay in checked on what you eat earlier on it can affect your whole life and its the same for underweight people it really doesn't matter on how you look it matters on how it affects your life and future
B0nk9 I think by pushing it on people they mean the whole if you don’t support this person and their over weight(not because they’re overweight and even if it is and you don’t support it because they’re actually over weight and not just naturally chunkier) then your a fat phobic piece of poo.
B0nk9 that’s incorrect, a lot of the fat acceptance people get angry if someone who’s obese loses weight. Like when Adele lost weight people in that community were angry and said she’s not body positive. I think that’s so toxic that community needs some serious work.
Being underweight has been proven to be more harmful than obesity 😬 but yall constantly wanna talk about fat bodies bc “health”. Its not HEALTH get that through ya heads lmao
Being chonky is okay!! you're cool and beautiful! Being skinny is okay!! you're also cool and beautiful!! But being extremely overweight is unhealthy. And being extremely underweight is also unealthy. This post was made by : rational and decent human being gang
Yes!! I keep trying to tell people that just because I'm thin doesn't mean I'm healthy :/ I'm super underweight with my hip bones sticking way out and ribs that you can count with zero appetite even after going 24 hours with no food, it's not healthy, but then they look at me like I should be so happy with my body and that I have no reason to complain.
If you wanna learn more about this, look up “My Thoughts Will Probably Offend You”. She’s a very good health instructor that has very clockbait-y titles, but that’s just more part of her brand. Give her a watch if you want to learn more about fat acceptance.
An Insider on the Internet; honestly I haven’t seen much of that, and I kinda have a tracker for those kinds of things. She’s pretty centrist as far as I can see
Thank you finally somebody who acknowledges that both of the extreme sides of the argument are a bit nuts. I’m pretty overweight myself and yeah it’s been a bitch trying to tell myself that I’m worth the effort to take my ass to see a doctor and actually address my health problems. It always feels like I’m about to be scolded whenever they weigh me; it’s taken me years to kind of get the mind frame that they’re not waiting to make fun of me as soon as I leave or anything-they’re there to help, and the vast majority of them will be kind and treat me like anybody else. You can love yourself and your body image-if you do, that’s great! But it’s also healthy to have some balance and keep seeking to improve yourself. And if that means acknowledging your lifestyle or your physical/mental health isn’t in the best condition, there’s no shame in recognizing that and trying to take steps to improve. Great vid Yuk; love me some Marnie!
If you truly love yourself you want to be the best you you can be, and that means being the HEALTHIEST you you can be. "loving yourself" when you're 700 pounds isn't truly self-love, it's self-hatred.
@@jadecoolness101 bullshit, when you love yourself you don't feel the need to be the best self (wtf that even means) this is just your ideal. you treat yourself well, take care of yourself - not to achieve some glorious version of something, but that what you really want and need. So this goes for both sides.
Burnkastel I don’t think they meant “the best you can be” as in physical appearance, but as in health. I agree with the premise that you shouldn’t try to achieve a better physical appearance, but one should always try to become the healthiest they can be. Of course idk what they actually meant but it seems this is what they were trying to say.
Oml Thank you! Not only did you acknowledge the severe fat shaming in Media but you also went above and beyond on why things are the way they are proven by science! Btw my father as 2 type diabetes and he isn't fat at all. He just consumes a lot of food
While yes, youre right that diabetes isnt inherently caused by being fat (my 5'0" 100lbs mother has prediabetes even though she eats healthier than anyone i know), the habits that cause people to get fat puts you at a higher risk for diseases like heart disease and yes, type two diabetes. Just... eat right and exercise. You'll probably lose weight by doing that anyways. PS.) dont fall for that food pyramid bullshit it was created to support the grain industry. While carbohydrates are vital for your health, make sure that they're accompanied by fiber. ᵃˡˢᵒ ᶠᵃᵗ ᶦˢⁿᵗ ⁿᵉᶜᵉˢˢᵃʳᶦˡʸ ᵇᵃᵈ, ᵇᵉ ˢᵘʳᵉ ᵗᵒ ᶜᵒⁿˢᵘᵐᵉ ᵃ ʰᵉᵃˡᵗʰʸ ᵃᵐᵒᵘⁿᵗ ᵒᶠ ᵐᵒⁿᵒᵘⁿˢᵃᵗᵘʳᵃᵗᵉᵈ ᵃⁿᵈ ᵖᵒˡʸᵘⁿˢᵃᵗᵘʳᵃᵗᵉᵈ ᶠᵃᵗˢ ᵗᵒ ˡᵒʷᵉʳ ᶜʰᵒˡᵉˢᵗᵉʳᵒˡ ᵃⁿᵈ ᵍᶦᵛᵉ ᵉˣᵗʳᵃ ᵉⁿᵉʳᵍʸ ᵗᵒ ʸᵒᵘʳ ᵇᵒᵈʸ. ᶠᵃᵗ ᵇᵘʳⁿˢ, ˢᵘᵍᵃʳˢ ᵈᵒⁿᵗ.
@@Feet570 that's type 1. Kids have type one diabetes and they tend to be skinny. Adults develop type 2 and they tend to be fat or obese, later they experience a heavy lose weight.
@@toomuchglitters7254 Hella yup to that last part. Chemical fat = food fat is something people deep in sugar love to push despite all evidence showing that sugar is turned into fat. It really sucks that so many still ignore sugar as a culprit. I've been trying to work on eating more fats and proteins and less carbs and sugar (which is super difficult cause I'm so used to sweet things 😅) but it's so hard to find filling stuff that isn't mainly carbs without having to flip the whole grocery store upside down. Hopefully that can change so people don't have to deal with these problems on such a large scale.
I had a friend whos doctor told he "how arent you getting bullied with you weight? You should be" Im also a little overweight(as in if i lose a few pounds id be a healthy bmi) but my doctors just told me to lose some weight and have a healthy life style. She was soo nicee. I think it just depends. Some are rude yes but most others are pretty sweet
with the “why your anatomy sucks thing” know that lavendertowne did something similar called “do this not that” and got the same type of backfire ,, i think the people leaving these comments _know_ that u arent purposely belittling them and despite the disclaimer claim that ur being mean to them. dont mind them ^_^
soup and when I forgot her name (I don’t watch her just her the drama) made a tutorial on how to draw thicc people (as in slim thicc) and got hate because the normal one was skinny because apparently people who are thicc aren’t skinny but are only curvy
I mean. legit. it goes the other way too. I look like someone of average weight but i'm dead unhealthy and run on a meal a day due to my ed. I don't get any skinnier because of it though, thank my russian peasant genes for that. I don't look like someone with an ed, I just look like a really sluggish person of average weight. trying to judge someone's health on their looks is just really.. wrong? there's more to health than your bmi
You handled this in a really appropriate way. My boyfriend is overweight and has struggled with body image issues his whole life because of it. He has tried various diets only to beat himself up and belittling himself when he makes a "mistake," completely falling off the wagon and feeling like there's no point. Recently, he picked up a book called "Atomic Habits" and has been teaching himself to be kind, allowing himself to have little treats here and there but overall improving his eating habits and understanding that his journey is a marathon, not a race. He's already experienced better results, and I'm very proud of him for coming to these conclusions and being a healthier, happier person. I feel as though people need to accept that the only way to help those who are overweight or obese is to first understand them, then offer helpful tips on how to be healthy, and not necessarily focus on being thin. Thank you for talking about this, and doing so in a respectful and polite manner.
I'm definitely not overweight, but I'm chubby. I'm depressed which makes it extremely hard for me to do anything (which I'm hoping to change soon). I am hoping to exercise more, though I don't think I'll be able to eat healthy until I'm out of the house. My dad only buys junk food and in my area healthy food is a little expensive and he doesn't get paid much. I definitely want to lose my chub, but it's not really my chub that makes me insecure. It's more the stretch marks I got because of it. I'm fine with my body for the most part, sure I definitely want to be a little smaller, but I can still feel hot with my body type. I just hope that other people can learn to grow and love themselves no matter their body type. If you are overweight and healthy, amazing! If you are overweight and not so healthy, try to work to be more healthy. Personally I think overweight people can be absolutely gorgeous, there is more to love, you know? I think really anyone can be gorgeous. Beauty is different in everyone's eyes. But I focus on the personality more than looks. Just try to be proud of who you are. I know this might not mean much coming from a chubby seventeen year old, but I'm trying. I know I see girls all the time at my school who are extremely skinny and sometimes it does make me insecure. I guess I'm just trying to encourage people to love themselves and stuff even though I struggle with it sometimes.
A good way to get simple exercise without having to really really motivate yourself though it is just going on walks. I love going on walks, I haven’t been on a walk in like a month or two because it’s so HOT I can’t go on a walk with a mask on (they’re required here) but in February and the rest of spring I was going on walks almost every day. While I was still kinda sad it really made me feel SO much better. Seeing the trees and animals around here made me feel a little bit better. I’d play Pokémon go while listening to music and it just made going on walks so fun. I can’t wait for it to get colder so I can do that again.
All I can really say on the matter is that I wouldn't know if I can be chonky and healthy because I'm unhealthy regardless of my weight. I'm a sedentary geek with no muscle tone and tbh it wouldn't matter if I weighed 75 pounds or 175 pounds because I'd still be a sedentary geek with no muscle tone. Yeah....I'm a loser, you don't have to tell me. There was no point to my writing this, kindly ignore me.
The most creative and witty username known to man bruh I’m not gonna ignore u don’t think of ur self that way it seems like you haven’t been told this before but ur the best ur not a sedentary geek ur amazing
Actually, speaking of insulin and weight gain, I was put on a mood stabilizer about a year ago and one of the side effects (that I had _no_ idea about) was insulin resistance. Guess who gained 30 pounds, reversing all of the weight loss they achieved in the span of a few months. ⁽ᴹᵉ. ᴵᵗ ʷᵃˢ ᵐᵉ.⁾
damn I've never been this early. oh also I just wanted to say I really look up to the way you draw and everything, your talent, and skills make all your art look amazing!
The whole obesity thing depends on your circumstances. If it's negatively impacting your health then you need to change your lifestyle. But if you're healthy, then good for you. I'm like, 5"3 and around 135 lbs. I'm not supermodel thin, but not fat enough to be morbidly obese. I'm am overweight but I do try to run at least once a day on the treadmill for 30 mins. I know I won't be a supermodel or an athlete but that's alright, I just have to work on the things that I can control, and that's all that matters.
If I may add a sentiment from a skinny girl, for the clothing thing, its becoming harder for me to find anything that fits in the woman's section anymore (I'm talking mostly about department stores like target, meijer and the like). For the past few years I've had to find things in the children's section (size 14/16). Yes these cloths are "cuter" but as a 30 year old holding up a shirt or dress to see if it'd fit while in the children's section makes me feel a bit out of place. Thats my complaint on all this it just feels like people like me (4' 11" 100 ish (And no not normal by any means I know) are getting pushed out more and more to make room for the more "new normal"
im 4'11 and 100lbs and i totally relate to this, its also super uncomfy and time wasting when im shopping with my friends having to check both the womens section and the kid's section
Yep, 5ft and 99lbs here. I understand that our height/size isnt inherently "the norm" but even in petite ranges in clothing stores they often dont hold smaller sizes (UKs4,6). I just shop on sites like Yesstyle now since the clothing fits my style and frame better.
I live in a big city and we USED to have a store that mostly sold tiny tiiiiiiny ADULT clothes, some things were even too small for me (5ft, 100 pounds), the largest sizes were your average medium. The store was specifically aimed at small women like me and other in this comment chain because we always have to shop in the kids section. It was my favorite store-until it closed down 2 years ago. There was a lot of drama in our local news about how this store encourages women to be "unhealthily skinny" and how it "demands all women have an anorexically thin body" and just other awful stuff, so the store started carrying sizes up to XXXL. But because of the bad press, no larger women who could even fit in XXXL wanted to shop there, but the store had to keep XXXS-XXXL sizes of everything in the store, else they risk another controversy... Long story short, they went bankrupt. The worst part was just seeing everyone shame the store and say only women who are "DISGUSTINGLY SKINNY" would shop there and I.... Still have some issues but lets not get depressing XDD
@@jadecoolness101 thats so fucked up, so everyone is accepting larger sizes now but smaller people like us are disgustingly skinny:( and we dont deserve to shop? it should be easier for all sizes to shop in THE WOMEN section.. and we shouldnt bring up one size at the expense of another..
ur rly sweet in this video. i was scared 2 click on ur video bc i have body issues, and i hate when ppl speak on it acting like they kno everything. im not overweight but i’m above average, and have anorexic tendencies. u were rly cool doe and ur art is rly pretty!!! 🥺👉👈
Omg your words made meh cry! I’ve always been called mean words bc I was overweight, I always had people just looking at me I’ve always made myself feel down just bc I was overweight. I always was thinking that people were talking about me .-. And when I came to this video, it made me understand more about people myself health and more!💜
I think you've probably heard this a lot before but like your voice is so soothing and I like drawing listening to it. 10/10 video, your voice is very calm in each video and I think that's what makes your videos unique to me.
Congrats on 8k! You're growing so fast! Shout out again to the respectful way you cover topics, and that you it it be known when you're stating an opinion versus stating a fact. Mad props, not a lot of commentators are willing to let their opinions just be opinions, and even less are willing to actively go out and hunt down the facts and science behind things.
With the point where you were talking about diabetes and heart disease, there are also heart conditions where you HAVE to eat more, because the heart is weaker and has to work harder. I have proof of this, as I have one, where I can't eat and drink like, 1-2 times a day, and this means I sometimes have to eat more than usual. So, I can't really go on diets, and it's even worsd because I get points in life when I don't eat. I do eat very healthy with fruits and vegetables and meat. I am fairly heavy for my age, but I am very healthy. So you don't have to be thin to be healthy.
i used to starve myself all the time as a teen. i even exercised alongside starving myself (do NOT do this) after i started eating properly, i gained weight and waw my self esteem plummeted but im probably healthier in this weight than i was in that stick figure.
I’m 12 (almost 13), about 5’ 4”, and a little over 150 lbs. I’m a little chubby not but not really FAT-most of my weight is due to my unusually thick, heavy bones. They’re much denser than those of other people, even in my immediate family. For example, when I was 5, a large brick fell on my head, AND IT HONESTLY DID NOT HURT. I just got a bruises that healed quite quickly. I exercise fairly regularly (when the unpredictable weather in my state allows) and whenever my mom goes shopping she buys a TON of fruits/veggies. I DO eat sweets such as ice cream or cake/cookies, but not very often. I voluntarily eat lots of protein-all kinds of meats-and fruits, and veggies when my mom prepares them. I drink lots of milk, and eat yogurt. I get hungry quickly and eat a bunch, but that’s a characteristic of almost everyone on my dad’s side. (Me, my older sister, my dad, my uncles-dad’s brothers-my grandpa, etc. etc.) We come from a wildly mixed European ancestors, including royalty and warriors. Like my dad, I’m naturally strong, without working out, but extremely NOT flexible. I also have a bad temper...Plus, I’m a Taurus, and those are Taurus traits. So, overall, I’m saying that you can weight a lot without being fat Like, I don’t have a flat stomach, but I’m not obese. I just haven’t lost my baby fat. What I don’t like is when you see people at age 20 who are so large t walk on their own. The other problem is that some larger people I have met, they don’t shower and they smell TERRIBLE. Their shopping art will be full of soda, beer, Cheetos, and Twinkies. Our cart will be loaded with fruits/veggies. I know it’s not always the cause, but if you sit on your couch eating McDonald’s and watching football 24/7, you’ll probably be a little large.
How does your bone density effect your weight? That literally makes no sense.. I was on medication the literally breaks down the bones (it was prescribed and I was taken off of it before it did any major damage obviously) and hi didn't go super skinny.. Also how the he'll does bone density effect the way your nerves work? If a brick fell on your head it would hit the nerves under you skin, nothing to do with bones.. you can't feel with you bones... Before you @ me I'm 17.. I don't have much life experience but damn you literally have no idea what you're talking about do you?
@@Ruzovy_ We really can't just invalidate how they feel cause everyone is different. Maybe their nerves have issues or they really does have denser bones than the average person, we don't know. We shouldn't just assume because its their body and as long as they're healthy and fine, I don't think we should worry. I know I have my own genetic issues that make losing weight a bit harder so I think we shouldn't pry into what they have.
lorinamae • I’m saying my bones are THICKER, there’s MORE BONE THERE, and the EXTRA MASS ADDS WEIGHT. Also, bruh, you obviously don’t have that much experience if you say you can’t feel with your bones. You PERSONALLY can feel stuff with your teeth, can’t you? I know I can. And if you get the skin shaved off and it’s just bone you can still feel things. My dad’s a paramedic, yo.
What I’ve learnt: yes you can be curvy or chunky and be healthy but you should still exercise and keep care of your body I’m not overweight but I am kinda chubby and people tell me to “get over it” and “accept you’ll never be anything more than a fattie” and stuff like that even though I exercise daily and eat fine foods and do a lot but I’m still the same
I really don’t like her lmao. For someone who talks about body positivity and the truth of the movement she sure does a good job of completely and blatantly ignoring people with a disability that’s not a hormone problem.
@@oppaloopa3698 She spoke about them and explained that her problem is the fat people that just really have no self-control, not people that have diseases and can't help it.
I know someone who's medically obese but she runs half marathons. Meanwhile I know someone else who is severely underweight because of a medical condition that makes him burn calories like the average marathoner. Which one would be seen as "healthier" do you think?
That's the thing though. Being either _severely_ underweight *or* overweight is equally unhealthy. Obviously, one's healthiness isn't 100% based on body size. However if you're literally nothing but skin and bones or are so large that you can't stand up without help, that's where I'd say you're unhealthy. If someone is clinically obese but still capable of running half a marathon, it means that their obesity isn't really getting in the way of their livelihood and as such isn't terribly unhealthy. In any context one's healthiness doesn't depend on one factor alone. So obviously in the context you provided the obese person would be considered the healthier of the two because of the various factors that differentiate them.
I think comparisons of healthiness should only be made towards oneself. Yes, your obese friend can run a marathon, but she'll have an easier time doing so, and would likely live longer if she lost some weight. Furthermore she likely has good genetics that helps her run marathons despite her obesity, maybe she has densely packed muscles, maybe her body doesn't build up toxins or is more efficient in filtering them out, regardless most people aren't like that, they wouldn't be able to run marathons whilst being obese. One of the biggest failings of the "body positivity" movement is when they point towards some famous person and say, "Hey look, they're happy, healthy and successful even if they're obese", implying everyone can be like that, when they can't. It's almost as unreasonable as expecting everyone to have supermodel bodies.
with medicaly obesity running a marathon is asking for a hearth attack, dangerously sweat alot and loss off bodily fluid and feet and leg damaged. i highly doubt that. and no one sees underweight as healthy only people with dissorders do. coming from a person who was underweight becouse od deseas that made me puke out everything that i eat and was at risk of getting sickly death. and im still on the line of underweight but barely surpassed it. i couldnt run a full mile without getting sick or almost puke. i dont think in reverse it would go better.
@@Hardcrafter2807 indeed it doesnt its most of the time diffrent things. but fatness and getting obese is alot of the a couse not a reason. but fatness maybe a reason for bad diet medical or medecin. but that doesnt mean fatness doesnt COUSE problems becouse is more then not does.
@@theblasblas body positivity is great. if it would also promote getting healtier wich it doesnt. and thats what makes it dangerous. luckly alot people do try bettering them self.
why have you described the processes of my illnesses better than my doctors? the science talk of the hypothyroidism, pcos and such makes me feel better about having my weight and actually be ABLE to overcome my cravings and struggles with eating. thank you so much for the encouragement.
This was a nice vid to watch. I recently hit the same weight as my mom while still being shorter than her. And yeah, I do spend 70% of my day sat in front of my computer, drawing, and I eat very little and when I do, I eat pasta half the time but still! Bodies are so weird! I've been wanting to get into figure skating so hopefully some exercising I do for that will help me burn this fat. Then, all I'll need to work on is eating properly and not making my body feel like it's stuck in the woods and hasn't eaten in a week (she types while eating an entire box of Kraft mac and cheese).
if it helps you, you might want to try to eat small amounts of food at more frequent intervals than normal mealtimes. try healthy snacks like nuts (high in proteins) or small vegetables (like carrots or cherrt tomatoes) you might also talk to your parents about ways to get involved in household stuff like meal planning and grocery shopping if you really want to get into healthier eating habits. its likely they will appreciate your interest and help!
Throwing in my 2 cents, for little reason at all I guess, but I live overseas and whenever I go back to the US it is a nightmare to shop. Everything is so goddamn big. I mean HUGE. I'm 5'5 and weigh about 115 pounds. The norm is definitely much larger than the average "skinny person".
People forget it's not JUST about weight. If you have joint problems as I do, extra pounds can be A LOT more painful. I love 25 pounds recently and the joint pain has noticeably gone down.
Oh man, when I was in 7th grade, the pediatrician I’d had most of my life told me if I kept on the same track, I’d be high obesity risk. I took that to heart but surprisingly used it as motivation to lose the weight. I’m honestly still very thankful for my doctor’s frankness with me.
GOSH I LOVE YOUR SPEEDPAINTS!! the fact that i can see a bit how the progress in coloring is that you actually paint your coloring and it looks so smooth and pretty!!
I haven’t watched the whole video yet but Imma just say this: I’m skinny as all hell. Like to the point where if you touched my lower chest you’d feel my ribs. I’m definitely not heathy either. It’s either I eat everything I have in my house one day or I eat nothing at all. I’ve been told on multiple occasions by my doctor that this is not healthy. My family says I look hungry ALL THE TIME (as a joke but this can be called skinny shaming, though, I myself am fine with it XD). The only reason I’m not overweight is due to my fast metabolism tbh. So basically what I’m trying to say here is that it doesn’t really matter what’s going on on the outside, more so what’s going on on the inside. You can be overweight and heathy, skinny and unhealthy, and vise versa. You’re still beautiful the way you are, but if you’re unhealthy I suggest you work on that for both your body’s sake and your sake. As long as you’re taking care of yourself and your needs, it doesn’t matter what your body looks like.
Can you pleeeease do a series where in each episode you do something deifferent. Like episode 1 the sketch and line art. 2 skin. 3 hair. 4 clothes. 5 special effects..... something like that. And if that’s too much a hair and eye tutorial would be enough. Do what you like ❤️
Well, yeah. My doctor said I'm healthy at the moment, but my belly could cause problems. I'm not getting cancer anytime soon, because yeah, my immune system is stellar. I happen to be really THICC (not in a good way) and I'm working on it. Sometimes I blame unfortunate circumstances. While to an extent, it's true, but it's really myself. Back when school was still around, I made great progress because I did a lot of sports. Quarantine is here and I haven't been exercising because I didn't have anything. Our family got a treadmill, and I feel like I'm becoming one of the fat acceptance people. I don't want that, so that's my motivation for now.
Okay, so, I'm thin to average, I've always been thin, I even went through anorexia so I experienced being underweight as well. And actually it was thanks to finding info about anorexia what made me discover body positivity, fat acceptance and eventually HAES. From the start, I felt like fat acceptance and HAES were just very ironically super close minded, unaccepting, hateful and angry. I was (and still am) against the majority of what this movement says and tries to push... But a year and a half ago I met my best friend who I love and adore, and she is severely obese. And honestly I kinda started to see it all... She is not a part of the movement nor does she publicly advocate for body positivity or anything, but it was just the stuff she tells me or I see her experience. A few examples... Apart from being fat shamed and hated or even refused jobs basically on the spot before the employer knew anything about her except her appearance, I also know she often eats as little as I used to do in my anorexic days because she hates herself so much but noone thinks it's an issue because, well, she's fat. When I ate that little my mom was crying because she thought I was gonna die, and she gets co gratulations on sticking to her diet. Recently she went to an alergologist to get pills for her pollen allergy and the fucking allergologist started blaming shit on her weight. Sorry ma'am I didn't know that being overweight relates to your eyes burning and a runny nose in ANY way? The doctor just straight up shamed her. So once I met her and got to know her, I started to understand much more where all these people are coming from. I just feel like they're way too angry at the world at this point to actually come up with anything reasonable... I love my best friend, she's one of the nicest sweetest most accepting people I even met, she's a total sweetheart and she doesn't deserve any of this treatment. But I'm also worried about her because what if she gets really ill and something bad happens..? But how do I help her when I know she hates herself soucbshe starves herself and yet it makes no difference? It's just such a difficult and complex issue and honestly I think professionals should actually start doing something about this and reform the system and our norms so that horror stories like what my best friend experiences don't ever happen, but also that everyone's health is taken in account...
@@cremepuffle first of all I was talking about how a lot of points that fat acceptance movement makes are actually true (like the stuff about the doctor literally blaming allergies on my friends weight), second of all, I KNOW my friends obesity is harming them for a fact, I'm not just gonna stop thinking about it???? What if you had an anorexic friend who was visibly underweight and ill, would you just not think about it??? Wouldn't you want them to get better to prevent health issues and, idk, live???? How can you even say that, I couldn't care less about the way she looks or anything, I fucking love her so much, but I want her to be healthy and happy and since it does relate to her weight for a fact, I'm not just gonna stop thinking about it. It makes her sick and it can harm her. What kind of a friend would I be to just "stop caring" about that???
That “trapped in a prison of self hatred thing” rings incredibly true for me. I’m not overweight but I have a sever Binge Eating Disorder (and I can’t purge it out for many... personal reasons😅), so I constantly rely on food as a crutch to gain some sort of control in my life. However, my lack of self esteem because of my chubbiness just leads me to worry and stress-eat more, creating a vicious cycle. I believe that before judging someone based on their appearance, they should look on the inside, see what they are struggling with, and try to encourage or comfort them. Now, some people take this to the extreme and let it take over their entire lives or affect their health, and that is when you need to tell them the truth and get them psychological and medical help, because I don’t want anyone to be consumed by the experience of this horrible, uncontrollable desire to binge eat or overeat.
im 14 and i weigh 230 lbs but when i got my blood tested it was all good and my doctor said it was strange because of my weight also when i was 11-12 my doctor told me i need to start losing weight and i told my friend and she said it was rude but i thought it was just honest and very true
dude my elementary pe coach hid my weight on the scale from the other kids. he was only doing it for the overweight kids because they think they'll be embarrassed. but guess what? i already know i weigh a lot. :\
I believe that everyone can be every size, but if you are healthy. I hate that skinny is hot. I'm a really curvy girl, and I was afraid of my body because of some fat on my legs, arms and stomach. Just be healthy according to your doctor and when you find yourself, everyone will think you are pretty or handsome, or whatever. I'm happier now that I dress in a Lolita style without being afraid for not being an Asian skinny girl. Just be happy!
I agree with everything you said, skinny being the typical "hot" is wrong. So many chonky and curvy girls are hot and socity is actually missing out on their beauty. Just remember, don't ever settle for a guy who treats you different because of your weight. Find a person who loves you for who you are. Because believe it or not, there is somebody out there who cares about you, not just your appearance.
I’m a bit of a thic person, but I’m definitely healthy. I’m a dancer and eat a healthy diet, I’m a bit under the average weight for my age and height. But, people on the Internet and school have tried to tell me I’m fat and not healthy. What I’m trying to say is, if you have a similar situation as me: They Don’t Know You You know yourself better than anyone, love ya
starvation diets are basically just diets where you stop eating so you become skinny. These don't work because your metabolism will slow down drastically (this is what people call starvation mode) to hold onto calories because you aren't eating anymore. This is very common in people with eating disorders. Obviously, your body will eventually become skinnier, but your metabolism will be really bad.. Long story short, don't starve yourself. Exercise regularly, because that can help with stress and other mental issues, and eat healthy, because that'll improve your mood.
I have burn only around 1200 or 1100 cals a day and I'm still underweight. If your bmr is low you can raise by building muscle! You can still find low calorie foods and be at a healthy weight! Dont be discouraged because progress takes time and you will get to your goal if you stick to it!!!
I know I'm late but I wanted to weigh in just a bit on the doctor thing. I've been overweight my entire life, despite the fact that I'm mostly healthy otherwise. As said, there are a lot of really bad doctors out there, but when you're overweight it is hard to find one that doesn't immediately chalk up every symptom you have to you needing to lose weight. When you grow up fat, every time you go to the doctor the first thing they do is point out that you gained weight and tell you that you need to lose it, often times without suggesting what to consider when choosing a new diet or what type of exercise you should be getting. You're left pretty much in the dark with no clue how to go about changing your habits and no one to go to because they'll probably tell you the same thing. Just eat healthier. Just exercise. No further explanations. When you're constantly told this from the first time you remember going to the doctor as a child and continue to hear it well into adulthood, it makes going to the doctor an incredibly nerve wracking experience. It's not just a doctor telling you you're overweight and you going home and crying about it because it hurt your feelings, it's a complete lack of support and advice when it comes to trying to change your lifestyle.
A little helpful science here: the nutritional value of food does not indicate how much weight you will gain example carbs are not bad! the only unit of measurement that dictates weight is calories and being in a caloric defeceit which is when you burn more calories than you eat a day this does NOT have to be done through exercise a metabolism is also describing the rate at which you burn calories which is why a fast metabolisms tend to go with skinny people... to get to the point you have to find out how many calories you burn by your daily routine whether there is no movement or a lot when you figure this out you don't need to eat healthily to lose weight you just need to know how much calories you need to eat to be below your daily calorie burn for example a burger bun can be 250 Cal but you burn 1800 a day you could eat so many burger buns without going over the calories you burn but i will warn that yes this is the ONLY way to lose weight which is a caloric deficit that doesn't mean that your diet is good for you, you can get bad health conditions from eating badly and still lose weight
I'll throw myself under the bus for a moment (wow I like doing this lmao) I'm a bit overweight. It's not like I'm obese, but I have some chub and my thighs touch. I have *always* hated myself for this, but I've struggled because of bullying when I was young making me quit P.E. early (I used to love it, esp swimming and running, but the bullying after I started on ADHD meds and my body instantly reacting got the best of me and I haven't gotten out of this pit yet either... I do some swimming with my dog every summer though) It has taken me more than a decade to be able to even look at myself (and some days I still can't look in the mirror and rather burrow underground because of depression) I'm working on getting healthier weight wise. For my own sake. I want to try cosplaying, and I want to have a body I'd actually like to show off for it. But it's a slow struggle, as I still can't go to a gym or run much because of my self-esteem issues related to those things. It's an uphill battle but I'm getting there
The thing about not all doctors (edit: are good) is true, I was told I needed to lose weight, when I asked how, they were like "exercise, eat vegetables". I go back and they say I gained weight, I've been swimming so I told them and they said "eat less". On both visits they gave me a plate with servings and sent me to a dietitian who only told me to eat more vegetables, less carbs. They also told me to eat less tortilla, someone I eat everyday as a mexican and they couldn't understand that I don't eat the ones you use for burritos or wraps so they were like "just eat max 2 each day" Sorry for this rant, just wanted to let that out
this probably isn't related but I think it's close enough to this video. everyone in quarantine has been gaining an appetite but I've been losing it. I ate two meals today and I feel guilty- I know I shouldn't. I'm like 20? pounds overweight for my height. my family has a slow metabolism. I feel like I'm becoming obsessed with this stuff and I notice it every time I look online. people "Glowing up" and "looking prettier". I'm trying to eat I'm forcing myself to eat but I feel guilty. I'm not sure how to explain it. I know I'm not healthy and I'm told not to start a diet because I'm young. I exercise but I lose motivation.
things can said in this video can be said about the exact opposite end of the spectrum too. Underweight people can't be viewed as healthy or unhealthy because weight is a person dependent thing. I was always told that I was okay weight wise but I went for my yearly checkup and was told I was underweight and I should be almost 30 pounds heavier. A lot of mental illness can cause shifts in weight on both ends and because I never talked about my extreme anxiety and stress, no one said anything about me being skinny, they just thought had a nice figure when in reality, the shape I have is because my skeletal structure was visible. There's a perfect average to weight and if you stray too far from said average, life is tougher for you than others.
I myself am an overweight female living with PCOS and have previously been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (no longer in the risk category after long term diet changes, yay!) and changing everyday habits that you've had for years is HARD, I've gone from shitty eating patterns and no exercise, to adjusting my diet over time to cut out as much refined sugar as I can (still have a small bit in coffee, and the occasional sweet treat), as well as add in more vegetables and fruits, and reducing my portion sizes to something much more suitable. Admittedly I am also still on a diabetes medication that helps to control my appetite and assist with insulin resistance, but this is only as a temporary help until my body can deal with it on its own. My doctor has also referred me to an exercise physiotherapist to help me build up an exercise routine that I find enjoyable and sustainable, which will in turn mean that it is something that I can sustain and adapt throughout my life, rather than being told "Do these things and do them everyday" which then just becomes a chore and harder to sustain because it's not enjoyable. Again, these changes have not been easy, but at the end of the day, becoming a healthier person is so much worth it, because it means I can spend many, many years with my husband-to-be, and have a chance (slim for me at this point, but still there) of becoming a mother if my partner and I decide we want children. I guess fitting smaller clothes is cool too, but it's whatever when you make your own anyway...
As a person who has a really bad diet but never gains any weight, it was refreshing to see the point of view from someone who “has the opposite problem.” (Yes I know it’s not an exact opposite). I always agreed with the idea of “health and weight aren’t the same” but society and media push this idea of “weight is more than health.” It was nice to hear somebody that agrees for once.
Answer to the title: yes
But chunky and obese aren’t the same thing
True but they need to still be careful.
My mom is in the chucky side but she has curves well that what they comment on her videos she healthy but she natruly big for some reason
niya bluegirl, “chucky.” I think she might be naturally fat because most girls get their father’s genes so her father’s genes were probably being fat. OR, it could’ve been babyfat.
Different, yes. But they are getting too close.
I was gonna say:
The higher end of the healthy BMI range is ~24. If you look up what that looks like, it does look plus sized. Like I said, though, it’s still a healthy BMI. However, a lot of people will still see somebody who looks like that and call them “obese.” I think the fat acceptance movement should be for those kinds of people, who are in fact healthy but don’t “pass” as such because they aren’t skinny. Nobody should be told to hate their body type if it isn’t going to kill them-especially if they can’t control it (don’t even get me started there)
Being just overweight doesn't mean poor health but being extremely overweight is. It is difficult to lose fat because your body has evolved to retain fat as much as possible. The problem is that we have access to too much in a single setting. Being overweight doesn't always mean you're fat anyways. If you have high muscle density and low fat density, you can be overweight. But that doesn't sound bad, does it?
Also, being underweight doesn't make you any better. I am slightly underweight but I still have quite a lot of fat. Doctors often mistake me for being skinny. It sucks but I know I'm not the only one. If you have low muscle densities but high fat ones that cancel each other out, you could be in the acceptable or even underweight range!
MasterTofu Melissa I’ve had so many of my friends who are wrestlers and body lifters who completely ruin their mental by the scale saying they are overweight. If you are having this issue, it’s because muscled is HEAVIER than fat. Your BMI saying you are overweight is not saying you are fat and need to eat less it’s saying that you have so much muscle!
Being extremely obese doesnt mean your body evovled to retain weight more thats literally so rare and hard to even confirm. Unless you really try to lose it and be healthy it will be hard to know the truth. Being extremely obese can also mean you dont take care of your self not just saying its based on genes.
Miza chop fat is fine the obese isn’t. It’s just my way of thinking, I’m sorry if I offended anyone
My dad is overweight and is not obese at all but his weight does affect his health his old age and his job make it harder on him and he even recently gotten an injury that was caused by his weight and for people at his age its hard to lose weight and im just worried for him. its batter to stay in checked on what you eat earlier on it can affect your whole life and its the same for underweight people it really doesn't matter on how you look it matters on how it affects your life and future
So much this. BMI calculations are flawed.
There is a problem with obesity and trying to push it on people, but it's not okay to bully someone bc of their weight
Zilla BNP no ones pushing you to be obese lmao. But yeah to the second part
B0nk9 I think by pushing it on people they mean the whole if you don’t support this person and their over weight(not because they’re overweight and even if it is and you don’t support it because they’re actually over weight and not just naturally chunkier) then your a fat phobic piece of poo.
B0nk9 that’s incorrect, a lot of the fat acceptance people get angry if someone who’s obese loses weight. Like when Adele lost weight people in that community were angry and said she’s not body positive. I think that’s so toxic that community needs some serious work.
Being underweight has been proven to be more harmful than obesity 😬 but yall constantly wanna talk about fat bodies bc “health”. Its not HEALTH get that through ya heads lmao

Yes!! I keep trying to tell people that just because I'm thin doesn't mean I'm healthy :/ I'm super underweight with my hip bones sticking way out and ribs that you can count with zero appetite even after going 24 hours with no food, it's not healthy, but then they look at me like I should be so happy with my body and that I have no reason to complain.

An Insider on the Internet; honestly I haven’t seen much of that, and I kinda have a tracker for those kinds of things. She’s pretty centrist as far as I can see
Thank you finally somebody who acknowledges that both of the extreme sides of the argument are a bit nuts. I’m pretty overweight myself and yeah it’s been a bitch trying to tell myself that I’m worth the effort to take my ass to see a doctor and actually address my health problems. It always feels like I’m about to be scolded whenever they weigh me; it’s taken me years to kind of get the mind frame that they’re not waiting to make fun of me as soon as I leave or anything-they’re there to help, and the vast majority of them will be kind and treat me like anybody else.
You can love yourself and your body image-if you do, that’s great! But it’s also healthy to have some balance and keep seeking to improve yourself. And if that means acknowledging your lifestyle or your physical/mental health isn’t in the best condition, there’s no shame in recognizing that and trying to take steps to improve.
Great vid Yuk; love me some Marnie!
If you truly love yourself you want to be the best you you can be, and that means being the HEALTHIEST you you can be.
"loving yourself" when you're 700 pounds isn't truly self-love, it's self-hatred.
@@jadecoolness101 bullshit, when you love yourself you don't feel the need to be the best self (wtf that even means) this is just your ideal.
you treat yourself well, take care of yourself - not to achieve some glorious version of something, but that what you really want and need. So this goes for both sides.
Burnkastel I don’t think they meant “the best you can be” as in physical appearance, but as in health. I agree with the premise that you shouldn’t try to achieve a better physical appearance, but one should always try to become the healthiest they can be. Of course idk what they actually meant but it seems this is what they were trying to say.
Oml Thank you! Not only did you acknowledge the severe fat shaming in Media but you also went above and beyond on why things are the way they are proven by science!
Btw my father as 2 type diabetes and he isn't fat at all. He just consumes a lot of food
it also happens if you don't eat sugar at all, be sure to stay safe and have a decent diet :(
While yes, youre right that diabetes isnt inherently caused by being fat (my 5'0" 100lbs mother has prediabetes even though she eats healthier than anyone i know), the habits that cause people to get fat puts you at a higher risk for diseases like heart disease and yes, type two diabetes. Just... eat right and exercise. You'll probably lose weight by doing that anyways.
PS.) dont fall for that food pyramid bullshit it was created to support the grain industry. While carbohydrates are vital for your health, make sure that they're accompanied by fiber.

@@Feet570 that's type 1. Kids have type one diabetes and they tend to be skinny. Adults develop type 2 and they tend to be fat or obese, later they experience a heavy lose weight.
@@toomuchglitters7254 Hella yup to that last part. Chemical fat = food fat is something people deep in sugar love to push despite all evidence showing that sugar is turned into fat. It really sucks that so many still ignore sugar as a culprit. I've been trying to work on eating more fats and proteins and less carbs and sugar (which is super difficult cause I'm so used to sweet things 😅) but it's so hard to find filling stuff that isn't mainly carbs without having to flip the whole grocery store upside down. Hopefully that can change so people don't have to deal with these problems on such a large scale.
I had a friend whos doctor told he "how arent you getting bullied with you weight? You should be" Im also a little overweight(as in if i lose a few pounds id be a healthy bmi) but my doctors just told me to lose some weight and have a healthy life style. She was soo nicee. I think it just depends. Some are rude yes but most others are pretty sweet
with the “why your anatomy sucks thing” know that lavendertowne did something similar called “do this not that” and got the same type of backfire ,, i think the people leaving these comments _know_ that u arent purposely belittling them and despite the disclaimer claim that ur being mean to them. dont mind them ^_^

I mean. legit. it goes the other way too. I look like someone of average weight but i'm dead unhealthy and run on a meal a day due to my ed. I don't get any skinnier because of it though, thank my russian peasant genes for that. I don't look like someone with an ed, I just look like a really sluggish person of average weight. trying to judge someone's health on their looks is just really.. wrong? there's more to health than your bmi

@@boneboy3264 oh ok
You handled this in a really appropriate way. My boyfriend is overweight and has struggled with body image issues his whole life because of it. He has tried various diets only to beat himself up and belittling himself when he makes a "mistake," completely falling off the wagon and feeling like there's no point. Recently, he picked up a book called "Atomic Habits" and has been teaching himself to be kind, allowing himself to have little treats here and there but overall improving his eating habits and understanding that his journey is a marathon, not a race. He's already experienced better results, and I'm very proud of him for coming to these conclusions and being a healthier, happier person.
I feel as though people need to accept that the only way to help those who are overweight or obese is to first understand them, then offer helpful tips on how to be healthy, and not necessarily focus on being thin. Thank you for talking about this, and doing so in a respectful and polite manner.
I'm definitely not overweight, but I'm chubby. I'm depressed which makes it extremely hard for me to do anything (which I'm hoping to change soon). I am hoping to exercise more, though I don't think I'll be able to eat healthy until I'm out of the house. My dad only buys junk food and in my area healthy food is a little expensive and he doesn't get paid much.
I definitely want to lose my chub, but it's not really my chub that makes me insecure. It's more the stretch marks I got because of it.
I'm fine with my body for the most part, sure I definitely want to be a little smaller, but I can still feel hot with my body type. I just hope that other people can learn to grow and love themselves no matter their body type. If you are overweight and healthy, amazing! If you are overweight and not so healthy, try to work to be more healthy.
Personally I think overweight people can be absolutely gorgeous, there is more to love, you know? I think really anyone can be gorgeous. Beauty is different in everyone's eyes. But I focus on the personality more than looks. Just try to be proud of who you are. I know this might not mean much coming from a chubby seventeen year old, but I'm trying.
I know I see girls all the time at my school who are extremely skinny and sometimes it does make me insecure. I guess I'm just trying to encourage people to love themselves and stuff even though I struggle with it sometimes.
i can relate to almost all of this hshsbsb
A good way to get simple exercise without having to really really motivate yourself though it is just going on walks. I love going on walks, I haven’t been on a walk in like a month or two because it’s so HOT I can’t go on a walk with a mask on (they’re required here) but in February and the rest of spring I was going on walks almost every day. While I was still kinda sad it really made me feel SO much better. Seeing the trees and animals around here made me feel a little bit better. I’d play Pokémon go while listening to music and it just made going on walks so fun. I can’t wait for it to get colder so I can do that again.
Don't be insecure about your stretch marks, they are beautiful, I have them too
All I can really say on the matter is that I wouldn't know if I can be chonky and healthy because I'm unhealthy regardless of my weight. I'm a sedentary geek with no muscle tone and tbh it wouldn't matter if I weighed 75 pounds or 175 pounds because I'd still be a sedentary geek with no muscle tone. Yeah....I'm a loser, you don't have to tell me. There was no point to my writing this, kindly ignore me.

Actually, speaking of insulin and weight gain, I was put on a mood stabilizer about a year ago and one of the side effects (that I had _no_ idea about) was insulin resistance. Guess who gained 30 pounds, reversing all of the weight loss they achieved in the span of a few months.

The whole obesity thing depends on your circumstances. If it's negatively impacting your health then you need to change your lifestyle. But if you're healthy, then good for you.
I'm like, 5"3 and around 135 lbs. I'm not supermodel thin, but not fat enough to be morbidly obese. I'm am overweight but I do try to run at least once a day on the treadmill for 30 mins. I know I won't be a supermodel or an athlete but that's alright, I just have to work on the things that I can control, and that's all that matters.
If I may add a sentiment from a skinny girl, for the clothing thing, its becoming harder for me to find anything that fits in the woman's section anymore (I'm talking mostly about department stores like target, meijer and the like). For the past few years I've had to find things in the children's section (size 14/16). Yes these cloths are "cuter" but as a 30 year old holding up a shirt or dress to see if it'd fit while in the children's section makes me feel a bit out of place. Thats my complaint on all this it just feels like people like me (4' 11" 100 ish (And no not normal by any means I know) are getting pushed out more and more to make room for the more "new normal"
im 4'11 and 100lbs and i totally relate to this, its also super uncomfy and time wasting when im shopping with my friends having to check both the womens section and the kid's section
Yep, 5ft and 99lbs here. I understand that our height/size isnt inherently "the norm" but even in petite ranges in clothing stores they often dont hold smaller sizes (UKs4,6). I just shop on sites like Yesstyle now since the clothing fits my style and frame better.
I live in a big city and we USED to have a store that mostly sold tiny tiiiiiiny ADULT clothes, some things were even too small for me (5ft, 100 pounds), the largest sizes were your average medium. The store was specifically aimed at small women like me and other in this comment chain because we always have to shop in the kids section. It was my favorite store-until it closed down 2 years ago. There was a lot of drama in our local news about how this store encourages women to be "unhealthily skinny" and how it "demands all women have an anorexically thin body" and just other awful stuff, so the store started carrying sizes up to XXXL. But because of the bad press, no larger women who could even fit in XXXL wanted to shop there, but the store had to keep XXXS-XXXL sizes of everything in the store, else they risk another controversy... Long story short, they went bankrupt.
The worst part was just seeing everyone shame the store and say only women who are "DISGUSTINGLY SKINNY" would shop there and I.... Still have some issues but lets not get depressing XDD
@@jadecoolness101 thats so fucked up, so everyone is accepting larger sizes now but smaller people like us are disgustingly skinny:( and we dont deserve to shop? it should be easier for all sizes to shop in THE WOMEN section.. and we shouldnt bring up one size at the expense of another..

Congrats on 8k! You're growing so fast! Shout out again to the respectful way you cover topics, and that you it it be known when you're stating an opinion versus stating a fact. Mad props, not a lot of commentators are willing to let their opinions just be opinions, and even less are willing to actively go out and hunt down the facts and science behind things.
With the point where you were talking about diabetes and heart disease, there are also heart conditions where you HAVE to eat more, because the heart is weaker and has to work harder. I have proof of this, as I have one, where I can't eat and drink like, 1-2 times a day, and this means I sometimes have to eat more than usual. So, I can't really go on diets, and it's even worsd because I get points in life when I don't eat. I do eat very healthy with fruits and vegetables and meat. I am fairly heavy for my age, but I am very healthy. So you don't have to be thin to be healthy.

I’m 12 (almost 13), about 5’ 4”, and a little over 150 lbs. I’m a little chubby not but not really FAT-most of my weight is due to my unusually thick, heavy bones. They’re much denser than those of other people, even in my immediate family. For example, when I was 5, a large brick fell on my head, AND IT HONESTLY DID NOT HURT. I just got a bruises that healed quite quickly.
I exercise fairly regularly (when the unpredictable weather in my state allows) and whenever my mom goes shopping she buys a TON of fruits/veggies. I DO eat sweets such as ice cream or cake/cookies, but not very often. I voluntarily eat lots of protein-all kinds of meats-and fruits, and veggies when my mom prepares them. I drink lots of milk, and eat yogurt.
I get hungry quickly and eat a bunch, but that’s a characteristic of almost everyone on my dad’s side. (Me, my older sister, my dad, my uncles-dad’s brothers-my grandpa, etc. etc.) We come from a wildly mixed European ancestors, including royalty and warriors.
Like my dad, I’m naturally strong, without working out, but extremely NOT flexible. I also have a bad temper...Plus, I’m a Taurus, and those are Taurus traits.
So, overall, I’m saying that you can weight a lot without being fat Like, I don’t have a flat stomach, but I’m not obese. I just haven’t lost my baby fat.
What I don’t like is when you see people at age 20 who are so large t walk on their own. The other problem is that some larger people I have met, they don’t shower and they smell TERRIBLE. Their shopping art will be full of soda, beer, Cheetos, and Twinkies. Our cart will be loaded with fruits/veggies. I know it’s not always the cause, but if you sit on your couch eating McDonald’s and watching football 24/7, you’ll probably be a little large.
How does your bone density effect your weight? That literally makes no sense.. I was on medication the literally breaks down the bones (it was prescribed and I was taken off of it before it did any major damage obviously) and hi didn't go super skinny..
Also how the he'll does bone density effect the way your nerves work? If a brick fell on your head it would hit the nerves under you skin, nothing to do with bones.. you can't feel with you bones...
Before you @ me I'm 17.. I don't have much life experience but damn you literally have no idea what you're talking about do you?
@@Ruzovy_ We really can't just invalidate how they feel cause everyone is different. Maybe their nerves have issues or they really does have denser bones than the average person, we don't know. We shouldn't just assume because its their body and as long as they're healthy and fine, I don't think we should worry. I know I have my own genetic issues that make losing weight a bit harder so I think we shouldn't pry into what they have.
@@Ruzovy_
Apparently enough life experience to judge how a person's bones and nerves work without any tests through a youtube comment lmao
lorinamae • I’m saying my bones are THICKER, there’s MORE BONE THERE, and the EXTRA MASS ADDS WEIGHT. Also, bruh, you obviously don’t have that much experience if you say you can’t feel with your bones. You PERSONALLY can feel stuff with your teeth, can’t you? I know I can. And if you get the skin shaved off and it’s just bone you can still feel things. My dad’s a paramedic, yo.
Khadijetou TAH...woah.
What I’ve learnt: yes you can be curvy or chunky and be healthy but you should still exercise and keep care of your body
I’m not overweight but I am kinda chubby and people tell me to “get over it” and “accept you’ll never be anything more than a fattie” and stuff like that even though I exercise daily and eat fine foods and do a lot but I’m still the same
Duuude your voice is so relaxing, I always listen to them while I draw my own stuff. Thank you for being such a great artist and youtuber!
Check out the channel "my thoughts will probably offend you"
She used to be fat and is now a personal trainer and also has a glandular problem.

I really don’t like her lmao. For someone who talks about body positivity and the truth of the movement she sure does a good job of completely and blatantly ignoring people with a disability that’s not a hormone problem.
@@oppaloopa3698 She spoke about them and explained that her problem is the fat people that just really have no self-control, not people that have diseases and can't help it.
@Okuyasu Higashikata immature response to a simple disagreement
I know someone who's medically obese but she runs half marathons. Meanwhile I know someone else who is severely underweight because of a medical condition that makes him burn calories like the average marathoner. Which one would be seen as "healthier" do you think?
That's the thing though. Being either _severely_ underweight *or* overweight is equally unhealthy. Obviously, one's healthiness isn't 100% based on body size. However if you're literally nothing but skin and bones or are so large that you can't stand up without help, that's where I'd say you're unhealthy. If someone is clinically obese but still capable of running half a marathon, it means that their obesity isn't really getting in the way of their livelihood and as such isn't terribly unhealthy.
In any context one's healthiness doesn't depend on one factor alone. So obviously in the context you provided the obese person would be considered the healthier of the two because of the various factors that differentiate them.
I think comparisons of healthiness should only be made towards oneself. Yes, your obese friend can run a marathon, but she'll have an easier time doing so, and would likely live longer if she lost some weight. Furthermore she likely has good genetics that helps her run marathons despite her obesity, maybe she has densely packed muscles, maybe her body doesn't build up toxins or is more efficient in filtering them out, regardless most people aren't like that, they wouldn't be able to run marathons whilst being obese.
One of the biggest failings of the "body positivity" movement is when they point towards some famous person and say, "Hey look, they're happy, healthy and successful even if they're obese", implying everyone can be like that, when they can't. It's almost as unreasonable as expecting everyone to have supermodel bodies.
with medicaly obesity running a marathon is asking for a hearth attack, dangerously sweat alot and loss off bodily fluid and feet and leg damaged. i highly doubt that. and no one sees underweight as healthy only people with dissorders do. coming from a person who was underweight becouse od deseas that made me puke out everything that i eat and was at risk of getting sickly death. and im still on the line of underweight but barely surpassed it. i couldnt run a full mile without getting sick or almost puke. i dont think in reverse it would go better.
@@Hardcrafter2807 indeed it doesnt its most of the time diffrent things.
but fatness and getting obese is alot of the a couse not a reason.
but fatness maybe a reason for bad diet medical or medecin.
but that doesnt mean fatness doesnt COUSE problems becouse is more then not does.
@@theblasblas body positivity is great.
if it would also promote getting healtier wich it doesnt. and thats what makes it dangerous. luckly alot people do try bettering them self.

"Your art does not suck"
*bold of you to assume I'll listen*
you explained insulin better than my science teacher.
I don't know what it is but none of that hooplah stuck, so I want to make it more digestable to everyone
why have you described the processes of my illnesses better than my doctors? the science talk of the hypothyroidism, pcos and such makes me feel better about having my weight and actually be ABLE to overcome my cravings and struggles with eating. thank you so much for the encouragement.
“My art is not the best”
*Aggressively tries to conceive any way your art could possibly look any more amazing*
thanks for making this. A lot of people including myself needed to hear that
This was a nice vid to watch. I recently hit the same weight as my mom while still being shorter than her. And yeah, I do spend 70% of my day sat in front of my computer, drawing, and I eat very little and when I do, I eat pasta half the time but still! Bodies are so weird! I've been wanting to get into figure skating so hopefully some exercising I do for that will help me burn this fat. Then, all I'll need to work on is eating properly and not making my body feel like it's stuck in the woods and hasn't eaten in a week (she types while eating an entire box of Kraft mac and cheese).
if it helps you, you might want to try to eat small amounts of food at more frequent intervals than normal mealtimes. try healthy snacks like nuts (high in proteins) or small vegetables (like carrots or cherrt tomatoes) you might also talk to your parents about ways to get involved in household stuff like meal planning and grocery shopping if you really want to get into healthier eating habits. its likely they will appreciate your interest and help!
@@galeg4021 Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely try that
YES!!! My dad is a GP and he says the exact same things to patients about focusing on overall health rather than weight.
Throwing in my 2 cents, for little reason at all I guess, but I live overseas and whenever I go back to the US it is a nightmare to shop. Everything is so goddamn big. I mean HUGE. I'm 5'5 and weigh about 115 pounds. The norm is definitely much larger than the average "skinny person".
Bruh I live in America and the average now is 5'5 and 160lbs i feel u
As an american no it is not bigger than average.
my old art sucks, my new art eh, need to learn shading and anatomy, and clothes fold.
You'll get it :) we all had the journey, I bet over 5 months it's improved a lot!!
People forget it's not JUST about weight. If you have joint problems as I do, extra pounds can be A LOT more painful. I love 25 pounds recently and the joint pain has noticeably gone down.
Ty for being so nice to ur veiwers, it makes me happi
the way you do shadows inspires me so fuckin hard, i love that shit
edit: also damn gurl the way u draw eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh wow! i've not been this early before. I'm happy i get to see your art rn though- it's 1am
"Include nuts in your diet"
My allergies and immune system: Challenger Approaching
Oh man, when I was in 7th grade, the pediatrician I’d had most of my life told me if I kept on the same track, I’d be high obesity risk. I took that to heart but surprisingly used it as motivation to lose the weight. I’m honestly still very thankful for my doctor’s frankness with me.
omg i was drawing marnie when this vid popped up on my recommended!
I feel like this should just be a 2 second video saying: Yes
GOSH I LOVE YOUR SPEEDPAINTS!! the fact that i can see a bit how the progress in coloring is that you actually paint your coloring and it looks so smooth and pretty!!
I haven’t watched the whole video yet but Imma just say this: I’m skinny as all hell. Like to the point where if you touched my lower chest you’d feel my ribs. I’m definitely not heathy either. It’s either I eat everything I have in my house one day or I eat nothing at all. I’ve been told on multiple occasions by my doctor that this is not healthy. My family says I look hungry ALL THE TIME (as a joke but this can be called skinny shaming, though, I myself am fine with it XD). The only reason I’m not overweight is due to my fast metabolism tbh. So basically what I’m trying to say here is that it doesn’t really matter what’s going on on the outside, more so what’s going on on the inside. You can be overweight and heathy, skinny and unhealthy, and vise versa. You’re still beautiful the way you are, but if you’re unhealthy I suggest you work on that for both your body’s sake and your sake. As long as you’re taking care of yourself and your needs, it doesn’t matter what your body looks like.
I quite like the way you do the pulled tight/shaved hair, it looks cute
Your voice is so soothing ive fallen asleep to you. I love your vids
I love the drawing 😊☺️
Brilliant. Thanks again for the awesome content
Can you pleeeease do a series where in each episode you do something deifferent. Like episode 1 the sketch and line art. 2 skin. 3 hair. 4 clothes. 5 special effects..... something like that. And if that’s too much a hair and eye tutorial would be enough. Do what you like ❤️
Well, yeah. My doctor said I'm healthy at the moment, but my belly could cause problems. I'm not getting cancer anytime soon, because yeah, my immune system is stellar. I happen to be really THICC (not in a good way) and I'm working on it. Sometimes I blame unfortunate circumstances. While to an extent, it's true, but it's really myself. Back when school was still around, I made great progress because I did a lot of sports. Quarantine is here and I haven't been exercising because I didn't have anything. Our family got a treadmill, and I feel like I'm becoming one of the fat acceptance people. I don't want that, so that's my motivation for now.
ok your art actually inspires me to draw more and you deserve more subs aaaaaaa
Okay, so, I'm thin to average, I've always been thin, I even went through anorexia so I experienced being underweight as well. And actually it was thanks to finding info about anorexia what made me discover body positivity, fat acceptance and eventually HAES. From the start, I felt like fat acceptance and HAES were just very ironically super close minded, unaccepting, hateful and angry. I was (and still am) against the majority of what this movement says and tries to push...
But a year and a half ago I met my best friend who I love and adore, and she is severely obese. And honestly I kinda started to see it all... She is not a part of the movement nor does she publicly advocate for body positivity or anything, but it was just the stuff she tells me or I see her experience. A few examples... Apart from being fat shamed and hated or even refused jobs basically on the spot before the employer knew anything about her except her appearance, I also know she often eats as little as I used to do in my anorexic days because she hates herself so much but noone thinks it's an issue because, well, she's fat. When I ate that little my mom was crying because she thought I was gonna die, and she gets co gratulations on sticking to her diet. Recently she went to an alergologist to get pills for her pollen allergy and the fucking allergologist started blaming shit on her weight. Sorry ma'am I didn't know that being overweight relates to your eyes burning and a runny nose in ANY way? The doctor just straight up shamed her. So once I met her and got to know her, I started to understand much more where all these people are coming from. I just feel like they're way too angry at the world at this point to actually come up with anything reasonable...
I love my best friend, she's one of the nicest sweetest most accepting people I even met, she's a total sweetheart and she doesn't deserve any of this treatment. But I'm also worried about her because what if she gets really ill and something bad happens..? But how do I help her when I know she hates herself soucbshe starves herself and yet it makes no difference? It's just such a difficult and complex issue and honestly I think professionals should actually start doing something about this and reform the system and our norms so that horror stories like what my best friend experiences don't ever happen, but also that everyone's health is taken in account...
How about stop thinking her weight is killing her asap? Stop thinking about her weight at all? Jesus its not that hard.
@@cremepuffle first of all I was talking about how a lot of points that fat acceptance movement makes are actually true (like the stuff about the doctor literally blaming allergies on my friends weight), second of all, I KNOW my friends obesity is harming them for a fact, I'm not just gonna stop thinking about it???? What if you had an anorexic friend who was visibly underweight and ill, would you just not think about it??? Wouldn't you want them to get better to prevent health issues and, idk, live???? How can you even say that, I couldn't care less about the way she looks or anything, I fucking love her so much, but I want her to be healthy and happy and since it does relate to her weight for a fact, I'm not just gonna stop thinking about it. It makes her sick and it can harm her. What kind of a friend would I be to just "stop caring" about that???
To answer the title: yes.
That “trapped in a prison of self hatred thing” rings incredibly true for me. I’m not overweight but I have a sever Binge Eating Disorder (and I can’t purge it out for many... personal reasons😅), so I constantly rely on food as a crutch to gain some sort of control in my life. However, my lack of self esteem because of my chubbiness just leads me to worry and stress-eat more, creating a vicious cycle. I believe that before judging someone based on their appearance, they should look on the inside, see what they are struggling with, and try to encourage or comfort them. Now, some people take this to the extreme and let it take over their entire lives or affect their health, and that is when you need to tell them the truth and get them psychological and medical help, because I don’t want anyone to be consumed by the experience of this horrible, uncontrollable desire to binge eat or overeat.
im 14 and i weigh 230 lbs but when i got my blood tested it was all good and my doctor said it was strange because of my weight
also when i was 11-12 my doctor told me i need to start losing weight and i told my friend and she said it was rude but i thought it was just honest and very true
My mom always promoted excercise to me because when you get older movement becomes and issue, and excercise helps you delay that.
dude my elementary pe coach hid my weight on the scale from the other kids. he was only doing it for the overweight kids because they think they'll be embarrassed. but guess what? i already know i weigh a lot. :\
I believe that everyone can be every size, but if you are healthy. I hate that skinny is hot. I'm a really curvy girl, and I was afraid of my body because of some fat on my legs, arms and stomach.
Just be healthy according to your doctor and when you find yourself, everyone will think you are pretty or handsome, or whatever. I'm happier now that I dress in a Lolita style without being afraid for not being an Asian skinny girl. Just be happy!
I agree with everything you said, skinny being the typical "hot" is wrong. So many chonky and curvy girls are hot and socity is actually missing out on their beauty.
Just remember, don't ever settle for a guy who treats you different because of your weight. Find a person who loves you for who you are. Because believe it or not, there is somebody out there who cares about you, not just your appearance.
yuki: my art is not the best
me: oh. okay. ..okay
I’m a bit of a thic person, but I’m definitely healthy. I’m a dancer and eat a healthy diet, I’m a bit under the average weight for my age and height. But, people on the Internet and school have tried to tell me I’m fat and not healthy. What I’m trying to say is, if you have a similar situation as me:
They
Don’t
Know
You
You know yourself better than anyone, love ya
I died laughing at “chonky” alone for a few minutes.
I got an ad about not exercising on this vid
I should add that it was meant for people who aren't very healthy and drink or smoke regularly
starvation diets are basically just diets where you stop eating so you become skinny. These don't work because your metabolism will slow down drastically (this is what people call starvation mode) to hold onto calories because you aren't eating anymore. This is very common in people with eating disorders. Obviously, your body will eventually become skinnier, but your metabolism will be really bad.. Long story short, don't starve yourself. Exercise regularly, because that can help with stress and other mental issues, and eat healthy, because that'll improve your mood.
I have burn only around 1200 or 1100 cals a day and I'm still underweight. If your bmr is low you can raise by building muscle! You can still find low calorie foods and be at a healthy weight! Dont be discouraged because progress takes time and you will get to your goal if you stick to it!!!
Chunky, thick/"thicc" and obese all mean different things.
i love that u drew Marnie from pokemon sword/shield
You deserve more subs!!! Your art is amazing btw.
I know I'm late but I wanted to weigh in just a bit on the doctor thing. I've been overweight my entire life, despite the fact that I'm mostly healthy otherwise. As said, there are a lot of really bad doctors out there, but when you're overweight it is hard to find one that doesn't immediately chalk up every symptom you have to you needing to lose weight. When you grow up fat, every time you go to the doctor the first thing they do is point out that you gained weight and tell you that you need to lose it, often times without suggesting what to consider when choosing a new diet or what type of exercise you should be getting. You're left pretty much in the dark with no clue how to go about changing your habits and no one to go to because they'll probably tell you the same thing. Just eat healthier. Just exercise. No further explanations. When you're constantly told this from the first time you remember going to the doctor as a child and continue to hear it well into adulthood, it makes going to the doctor an incredibly nerve wracking experience. It's not just a doctor telling you you're overweight and you going home and crying about it because it hurt your feelings, it's a complete lack of support and advice when it comes to trying to change your lifestyle.
A little helpful science here: the nutritional value of food does not indicate how much weight you will gain example carbs are not bad! the only unit of measurement that dictates weight is calories and being in a caloric defeceit which is when you burn more calories than you eat a day this does NOT have to be done through exercise a metabolism is also describing the rate at which you burn calories which is why a fast metabolisms tend to go with skinny people... to get to the point you have to find out how many calories you burn by your daily routine whether there is no movement or a lot when you figure this out you don't need to eat healthily to lose weight you just need to know how much calories you need to eat to be below your daily calorie burn for example a burger bun can be 250 Cal but you burn 1800 a day you could eat so many burger buns without going over the calories you burn but i will warn that yes this is the ONLY way to lose weight which is a caloric deficit that doesn't mean that your diet is good for you, you can get bad health conditions from eating badly and still lose weight
Well done I officially agree with your opinons
I'll throw myself under the bus for a moment (wow I like doing this lmao)
I'm a bit overweight. It's not like I'm obese, but I have some chub and my thighs touch. I have *always* hated myself for this, but I've struggled because of bullying when I was young making me quit P.E. early (I used to love it, esp swimming and running, but the bullying after I started on ADHD meds and my body instantly reacting got the best of me and I haven't gotten out of this pit yet either... I do some swimming with my dog every summer though) It has taken me more than a decade to be able to even look at myself (and some days I still can't look in the mirror and rather burrow underground because of depression)
I'm working on getting healthier weight wise. For my own sake. I want to try cosplaying, and I want to have a body I'd actually like to show off for it. But it's a slow struggle, as I still can't go to a gym or run much because of my self-esteem issues related to those things. It's an uphill battle but I'm getting there
"Mm delicious energy" i laughed at that
Also the way you draw eyes is amazing
YOUR ART IS AMAZING
omg ur art is so pretty :O
The thing about not all doctors (edit: are good) is true, I was told I needed to lose weight, when I asked how, they were like "exercise, eat vegetables". I go back and they say I gained weight, I've been swimming so I told them and they said "eat less". On both visits they gave me a plate with servings and sent me to a dietitian who only told me to eat more vegetables, less carbs. They also told me to eat less tortilla, someone I eat everyday as a mexican and they couldn't understand that I don't eat the ones you use for burritos or wraps so they were like "just eat max 2 each day"
Sorry for this rant, just wanted to let that out
this probably isn't related but I think it's close enough to this video. everyone in quarantine has been gaining an appetite but I've been losing it. I ate two meals today and I feel guilty- I know I shouldn't. I'm like 20? pounds overweight for my height. my family has a slow metabolism. I feel like I'm becoming obsessed with this stuff and I notice it every time I look online. people "Glowing up" and "looking prettier". I'm trying to eat I'm forcing myself to eat but I feel guilty. I'm not sure how to explain it. I know I'm not healthy and I'm told not to start a diet because I'm young. I exercise but I lose motivation.
Yess! I’m kinda on the chonky side with my legs but I’m not that unhealthy! I’m glad you brought this up
I love your art so much and I'm going to start practicing extra hard to hopefully one day look as good as you!
Obesity is not only an unhealthy state but opens people up to illnesses, for example cancer. It's just like being extremely under weight is unhealthy
things can said in this video can be said about the exact opposite end of the spectrum too. Underweight people can't be viewed as healthy or unhealthy because weight is a person dependent thing. I was always told that I was okay weight wise but I went for my yearly checkup and was told I was underweight and I should be almost 30 pounds heavier. A lot of mental illness can cause shifts in weight on both ends and because I never talked about my extreme anxiety and stress, no one said anything about me being skinny, they just thought had a nice figure when in reality, the shape I have is because my skeletal structure was visible. There's a perfect average to weight and if you stray too far from said average, life is tougher for you than others.
I can’t believe u almost doubled in sub count 2 weeks!! U deserve it
i got a dieting ad before this video 😣😣😣
Also your art is amazing
I wish you drew a chubby girl in this video, I think it would be SOOOOOO cute in your style.
The information in this video is more than what i've learend in school
Truth is I'm happy to be early and to see your amazing art and talent 😀😁
I myself am an overweight female living with PCOS and have previously been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (no longer in the risk category after long term diet changes, yay!) and changing everyday habits that you've had for years is HARD, I've gone from shitty eating patterns and no exercise, to adjusting my diet over time to cut out as much refined sugar as I can (still have a small bit in coffee, and the occasional sweet treat), as well as add in more vegetables and fruits, and reducing my portion sizes to something much more suitable. Admittedly I am also still on a diabetes medication that helps to control my appetite and assist with insulin resistance, but this is only as a temporary help until my body can deal with it on its own. My doctor has also referred me to an exercise physiotherapist to help me build up an exercise routine that I find enjoyable and sustainable, which will in turn mean that it is something that I can sustain and adapt throughout my life, rather than being told "Do these things and do them everyday" which then just becomes a chore and harder to sustain because it's not enjoyable. Again, these changes have not been easy, but at the end of the day, becoming a healthier person is so much worth it, because it means I can spend many, many years with my husband-to-be, and have a chance (slim for me at this point, but still there) of becoming a mother if my partner and I decide we want children. I guess fitting smaller clothes is cool too, but it's whatever when you make your own anyway...
As a person who has a really bad diet but never gains any weight, it was refreshing to see the point of view from someone who “has the opposite problem.” (Yes I know it’s not an exact opposite). I always agreed with the idea of “health and weight aren’t the same” but society and media push this idea of “weight is more than health.” It was nice to hear somebody that agrees for once.
Is this just the best video ever
Excuse me, can I know what brushes you used? I love the drawing btw uwu
I use the watercolor ones (usually Dense for applying and translucent for blending) 👌😃
