It's great to see you here commenting positively while many others try to pull each other down. More power to both of you. By the way Prerna.. love your channel ❤️❤️
I have been "Fat" all my life .... I was told I would be single all my life coz I'm not desirable enough for any man to marry me and the only reason somebody would want to marry me is if v give loads of dowry .... I had very low self esteem and never thought I'm beautiful coz all the fat comments passed .... But things changed once I started working and I had friends who were such good influences who told me that I'm beautiful and helped me build my self esteem and at that same workplace I found the love of my life .... Turn the time wheel to 2020 I'm still "fat" I'm married for 11 years have a beautiful baby girl she will be 2 next month.... My husband fell in love me for all the love handles I hav flabby arms fat thighs and till date finds me desirable with all the post pregnancy weight gain and all ...
Wow! Thankyou for sharing, my love story also started like this 4 years ago, my husband doesn't care how much fat i carry instead he supports me in everything I do, i am a plus size woman who loves makeup and i have recently stated my own channel. The only thing that matters to me is how one is doing his/her makeup irrespective of gender, caste, race, body type etc. Corallista is a guru for me and she is flawless when it comes to makeup.
Trust me when i say this, I've been a subscriber of your channel for the longest time 6 years may be, if not less Looking at the video 'Clickbait' i thought ok may i'll learn something for myself today, but trust me 6 years!! And now finally i feel like you are coming out of your shell and i am loving this transformation. For some apparent reason it's so soothing to see someone grow❤️
Hi Ankita. My story is so much similar to you. I am also an IIT grad. When I was young I was extremely thin and people used to associate my beauty with my thin stature. That time I was only interested in studies and hence did not bother much. Its been few years that I have gained a lot of weight. Now people say that I would have looked better if I lost some weight. So I finally realize that people can never be happy and my life does not depend on what they say. I don't bother about my appearance now but I have understood the importance of fitness, exercise and having healthy food especially after relocating in Holland. Here people are more conscious about staying fit rather than how they look.
"Unsolicited weight loss advice " this is exactly what I'm facing... i have recently put on weight in the past few years ... I always feel no matter much i have lost weight it's never enough for people...It's just wonderful that u are addressing this issue... It really helps to know that someone else also understands this problem... Love ur videos big fan
I love this video. It's mature, beautiful and positive. There was a time when I was so disgusted with my body & couldn't look at myself in the mirror. I love how you said that you simply got tired of hating your body and that's how you started on this journey of self love because that's how it happened with me as well. Thank you for touching upon the relationship with food as well, I feel like most people don't even talk about that. Thank you for this video. Would love your thoughts on topics which are close to you as well! Stay safe. Best wishes 💕
I can relate to everything that you have said. In fact most of the girls would agree with u on this. It's very sad that people judge a girl only by her looks because this is what society unknowingly teach every kid and this mentality needs to change. I am watching your videos for years now. I have always found u beautiful and inspiring. After watching your very first few videos I was desperate to know ur educational background and was very much impressed when I got to know that u're from IIT. Keep creating more such content, because u influence people positively.
I really feel your content has become so good once you have started connecting with us on a personal level ! You come across as such a nice person ! And you are beautiful !! ♥️
Hi Ankita, Firstly I started following you on RUclips few years back . Im a Corporate professional and before my career started I have always been studious and never focused on looks or makeup . Honestly I started following you not because of your beauty blog but you personality was so powerful when i first saw you talking. I was astonished to see a beauty blogger talking about scientific ingredients in a beauty products and giving such an indepth analysis about its usage. I was awestruck and started following you. This video today and your couple of other recent videos are so powerful. I have always been a strong independent woman living my life on my own terms. And in you I see so much talent .. so powerful yet so calm. Such an inspiring soul you are. More power to you. Stay healthy stay safe
This was a very honest & relatable video...I have literally gone through all this myself. And I want to add that its not just the hate comments but also the comments from friends & family like -"You have lost weight, you look great now!" that impacts our mental health. We need to be self aware enough to face the society boldly and don't let others impact our happiness.
I do the exact things u said I believe in eating everything But in moderation But most important Is water.. Drink About 2 lt water per day.. It will surely help .. N we should be active Do anything.. walk.. Do housechores Anything that makes u happy.. Forget ur weight Focus on healthy things
I love the way you talk, and i learn so many new words and phrases from you. You are beauty with brains😘 Edit: I am a heavy girl too. I weigh a 100 kilos now and used to be 104kgs. 5ft 6inch, i workout to feel good mentally and not just worrying about my body weight.
I have been goin thru a roller coaster ride with my pcod and lately its been a really tough phase. I so needed to watch this. I also fight with depression n have been for decades now. Am also divorced and a single mother which has all also had its toil on me and a reason for my emotional binge eating. I need to also improve my relationship with food. Ur so inspirational and such a gorgeous person. Ur absolutely stunning just the way u are. Much luv to u.
Thank you for so beautifully articulating what all of us need to hear! In this day and age everyone is looking for an external validation to find happiness, sadly we look outward and not inward - once we ourselves feel good in our skin, happiness finds us. You break through the noise of social media and its “curated” nature 👏🏻
Thank you, Ankita. For sharing this with us. Its actually so many out here like us who hear those words and the stares say it all. Though there are people who would come up and say do you know you have a confident and pretty face, there are people who would still say you know you would look so much sexier if you lost those 15-20 kgs. The hardest part is when it comes from your own family. When I hit my puberty, my weight pulled up and my mother constantly reminded me of that but I was a growing child and even though I was a lot active, the weight hit me hard. I was afraid it might have been a medical condition, I was made to go through all sorts of tests whenever I tried losing weight, everything came out to be normal, except my weight. My husband loves me a lot, we were together for like 6 years before we got married, despite of my weight but I still know everyone around hopes how it would have been better had I been down by at least 10 kgs if not more. But this video made me realize I am quite confident about myself but had just forgotten to appreciate it.. Waiting for your next video. Love,
this video made me happy and i smiled. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I'm 19 and i feel the same thing as you felt as a teen... anxious and not loving the way i look. i have been told my entire life that i am 'fat'. as a kid i was not anxious and used to love myself but over the years social standards has now made me hate my body as i started to gain more weight. but i hope to see myself like you one day...confident and happy.
I have a similar journey . I have always felt fat even when i was at my thinnest. I was never able to enjoy my food or my clothes. All i could think was, " i will lose this weight when i complete a particular goal of my career." So eventually in college i did loose a lot of weight and was the perfect weight for my height. But i still felt fat. I have put on a lot of weight now, but my mindset still remains " career oriented". I am trying hard to change that. I have started eating a lot better.and i do work out 2-3 times a day. I do yoga which i enjoy. And i meditate. i want to reach at a level where i m comfortable in my skin. So thank you for this video....it helped me a lot. Hope to be able to say that i love my body one day and mean it too!💜
I understand and it means alot to me as i am 20kg overweight and fighting wit it since my teen, m so tired n sad over it. i just want to eat and live life as i want... i live fr food 😪
I am also a teen and worried about my weight 😩but then I meet BTS 😃and they taught me "How to love myself" And now I love myself a lot😎 so keep loving yourself☺️and are You a army
I'm so so so glad to have come across this video. Every single thing you've talked about from the depression phase to disassociating desirability with how sexy I can look to dressing up to cover my body shape. Every single thing makes me see a reflection of my story in yours. Thank you so much for sharing your experience! :) It feels such a relief to see you as a hope.. because I'm 24 now and after fighting with depression since a long time, I've started on this journey of accepting my body the way it is but every now and then things around make me question myself as to whether I'm just living in denial or what. But if you are the level I can reach to in this journey, then I'm really glad to have started on to this :) *teary eyed* I wish I could hug you right now. PS: I'm that fan who 2 years ago used to crave the way you looked in your make-up videos and I used to push myself into eating only Daliya as all my meals of the day just to be able to look as beautiful as you! Haha. Have come a long way. More and more love to you :) ♥️♥️♥️
Ur are a beautiful soul....it’s so therapeutic listening to u....ur calm voice and piecefull face...its calm my bind...unless others u don’t rush or clumsy ur words....I love u so much following u since 4 yrs...body weight can be reduced today or tomorrow but the way u talk or explain things.ur inner beauty no one can change dats ur specialty....love u so much...
U r the first whom I watch in RUclips..seems to be that u r not only beautifull face ...u r also a beautifull soul....its always feels calming by listening n watching u....u r the prsn who teach me to be independent...instead of this that u r not a physiatrist nor a advicer..,but whenever I get low or demotivated I used to listen u...u r my favorite...no matter how u look...but happy to see u like this 😘😘😘😘
It takes real courage to come upfront with this acknowledgement. You aren't alone..so many girls go through eating disorders.. bulimia, anorexia..just to look slim and beautiful, which they pay for later in their lives as the age advances. Hats off to your courage and strength!
How can u even think at any given point of time???? You are so so pretty... So graceful. I have been watching ur videos for a long time now and trust me just listening to u gives me so much of healing effect. I have never ever commented on any RUclips video but couldn't resist when u said u were not happy about ur body.
@Ankita : I still remember your very old blog posts on IMBB. You were so thin back then ! You still look so beautiful so many years later .... We always love you as a person. The way you are. 😍😘
Every word you said rings so true for me and i have never been able to wrap my head around the constant negativity around the size shaming we go through. From personal experience, I can tell you the journey is tough but once you get there you know what you need to do. Love this and love you ♥️ thank you for sharing and cheers to body positivity and loving yourself 😘
Again another video which speaks for a lot of people like us! You truly prove that beauty is not only skin deep and it’s so much dependent on your thoughts and outlook. Two thumbs up for taking up such a sensitive issue in front of the camera. This means a lot... especially coming from the most beautiful RUclipsr I know.
Hi Ankita I really appreciate your strength and generosity in sharing such a personal story when you could have played safe and not talked about it given that you are in the beauty business. I do have to accept that I myself might have been fleetingly judgemental about your changing weight on the face over the years, especially since you moved to Mumbai. I have felt exactly the same sentiments you mentioned in the video - she is a class act already and she would be able to do so much more by branching out if only she lost some weight especially as she is in the vanity business. Now I understand things better and feel sorry to have been so quick to judge. I also loved how you listed a few of your positive attributes that helped you in over coming the negative body image, they felt so true. I would definitely use a similar list when I feel completely worthless when I focus only on my negatives. It is you who I come looking for whenever I feel like buying another lipstick shade or when my foundation is nearly empty. You are so - to the point, honest and trust worthy. I have been following your work since your blogging days from ?Japan(if I a remember right) and I feel so proud of your journey and in fact feel like part of your journey. More power to you hun. Other topics that you may wish to consider,especially as you have so much experience working from home - how to keep your work -home balance whilst WFH. As it is a novel experience for me, I feel like it is constant struggle to avoid one spilling into the other and battling the constant guilt, add to that constant distraction from multiple internet tabs. Any practical tips would be very welcome.
Can I be perfectly honest? We would love to see more of you & your beautiful body than just your face. That would make us curvy girls feel more confident & beautiful about our own bodies.
Kudos to you for making this video about your body size! It shows what a brave lady you are compared to all those mean people who leave nasty comments on your pages without examining themselves first!!
I have pcos and stage IV endometriosis. I have gained 40 pounds in the course of 1 year. I was a professional dancer before and I had to put my dancing on a hold because of the weight gain and health problems. I understand how you completely feel and I am so incredibly proud of you in your journey of self love!! You are stunning & radiant. God has blessed you with much beauty, talent and intelligence!! Thank you for being you!!
Jiima Sta is there a way you could message me privately on RUclips ? There’s no cure for endometriosis but I can give you some advice for how to control it.
I remember when i met you n u said being beautiful is not linked to weight ,your smile, direct eye contact n the power of your words hit me ❤️ Rujuta has changed my life too
I am getting emotional you just explained what I felt in the past ❤ But now I learnt self love ❤😘 and self love is sukoon so much..... Thanks for the video.
Such a soothing video.. you described your experience so beautifully. Thanks for sharing with us. Like you mentioned, it's so important to be healthy, both mind, and body. Weight is so transitory, it's the other things that we need to work on, like you said. Focusing on our inward selves makes us better people, rather than pouring so much into beautifying our outward appearances. Loved this video. I too have faced hormonal issues. I've also faced backlash from close people when I turned from super skinny girl to slightly overweight. But know I'm learning to balance it out. I'm working on my health and it has improved. It's all about taking care of yourself and being at peace with yourself. Stay Beautiful Ankita. Your inner radiance shines through. It's something that's admirable. Keep it going. We need more influencers like you who talk about the real deal. Loads of love! 🌹 P.S. love the music, I noticed that the song "Oh Holy Night" was playing in the background. :')
Beautiful video! So genuine.. So from the heart ... And congratulations on getting past the body image issues all of us girls carry around. This will inspire so many !! Thanks for sharing this!!!
i am a doctor and overweight since i was 12 now i have graduated from medical college i am still overweight but i know i am perfect but for health concerns i started running to maintain my physique not to lose weight and i can run more than my sisters who are in normal weight range. you have done a good job by accepting your body as it is keep it going all the best @corallista
I just paused to video to say this, you are not your body! I've been watching you for yearrsss now and you've always been such an inspiration, I remember reading the day in your life part of your blog, your paintings there. You were one of the first beauty bloggers I came across and I was so impressed with your degree as well. I delved into makeup and painting or was motivated to, because of you! LOTS OF LOVE, I'm back to watching the video, bye!
Thank you so much for this video! I've been dealing with PCOS and insulin resistance for a while now, which makes it really difficult for me to shed weight. You've given me a new perspective now! ❤️
You have been my favorite for almost 10 years now. I started reading your blog when I was in my maternity and I think with you I have also grown. Looking ar you and hearing you talk give a sense of calmness.
U r such a beautiful person in every possible way❤️. You have been an inspiration to me since past many years. You inspire me with wtever u post one way or the other. You r also one of the very few reasons i gained so much of interest into makeup and beauty that I am a professional makeup artist and hairstylist now. Just completed the course and planning much more to do in the same field.And, nw again u posted something that has filled me with the positivity that was much needed bcoz I can connect myself to it in certain ways. U r doing amazing wrk. Keep inspiring the way u always have. Lots of love and good wishes❤️.
U r beautiful mam....... Such an independent N confident lady with lots of positivity....... Always luv uhh...... 😘 😘 😘 😘....... U r such an inspiration........ N I followed u since 1 yr but......... Commented for the frst tym........ Bcoz I thought comment should b worth itself.... N here is ur prfct vdo..... 😘 😘 😘 😘
I am overweight and I sure am working towards losing it so that I don't put my health at risk but seeing you being so confident and clam about yourself makes me feel the same. I feel like being represented. Thanku❤️
This one was much needed👍...Ive gone through such experience that I never thought of telling anyone ....I had a breast upliftment surgery(I lost a lot of weight quickly at once)in 2015 which went wrong ...left me with prominent scar...n I got hurtful comments from the one who mattered the most ....I’m still not confident for this & also due to my sagging skin overall ...but ur video made me share this...thanks for speaking up on this matter
Hi 👋.. I came acrosss your videos and am quite emotional about them .. our story is more or less the same .. i have been struggling with weight issues since my adolescence and I have been academically brilliant and I always told myself what u told to u when losing weight and I also have been through a miscarriage and domestic abuse in my ruptured marriage and a harsh divorce .. when I watched this video tears rolled down my eyes .. I started leaning to love my body and my soul and started appreciating myself just the way I am .. we women really need this kind of body positivity videos .. love u .. Thank u somuch fr this video .. u are the most beautiful n honest girl I have ever come across .. I wish I should meet u some day in person .. u are a true inspiration girl
Thank you for sharing this dear. I can completely relate to your narrative. It’s so important that you talked about self worth not being attached to the way we look, especially with your beauty channel, I’m so happy you used your platform to share this with so many young girls struggling with body positivity. Also love that you say you are proud of your intellect, your intelligence really shines through. You are a beautiful soul and a gorgeous woman. ❤️❤️❤️
@corallista I feel like giving you a hug.. You go girl. It takes a lot of courage to share personal things publically. I have never commented on your video. But this time I couldn't stop myself. You know what Ankita self love is very important. Kyunki taane marne ka theka to duniya ne le rakha hai. I just don't understand why can't people just keep their advice regarding marriage and weight to themselves. But you correctly said that you should not measure your self worth in terms of your weight or looks. More power and Loads of love to you Ankita 💓💓..
Hi Ankita ,i follow you since a long time but commenting you first time, you are really very kind hearted and beautiful lady. Ppl are too much judgemental ,I face those bad comments too on my channel they don't know how much these words hurts to a ppl they don't know about any medical condition but this video is amazing . Love you
You spoke my heart out. I have started gaining weight for past years, and the kind of negative comments I have got from people around are beyond imagination. This really feels good when someone talks about the same problems as yours. It makes us realize we aren't the only one. Thank you🙏💕
Ankita I'm one of your oldest subscriber, and you are basically first beauty blogger whom i have started following when i have started taking interest in make up.. I have seen your body changes, and i can resemble myself so lot with you, you always give so positivity, your videos are so positive, your voice is so soothing to hear, i can hear you for long time without even forwarding for seconds, this video really helped me a lot about my concept of my body and i hope i can also starting loving my body from now onwards.. Sending love as always ♥️😍.. You are really beautiful inside out. ♥️
Thank u so much ankita for this video Learning to love your body is a journey Learning to appreciate ,accept and love my imperfect self is so liberating.
Great talk! You couldn’t have conveyed those important points any better. Thank you for this video. This needs to be a public notice message to everyone. Being an Indian and living in India for many years I know this about us that sometimes we just don’t have any filter and we could say the most rudest thing to a stranger with a straight face as if you are giving the biggest “gyan” or advise to someone like “hey you could look so pretty if you were thinner”. It’s just downright rude to say that to anyone let alone a stranger. And the person giving this advise is not doing it for your good but they just feel superior to you and feel that they are in a better place coz they look someway physically to downright say this to your face but really are you healthy and strong physically to make such comments.no matter fat or thin can climb five floors of stairs without being out of breath and dying a lil bit. The whole point is to be happy healthy and having healthy habits. Lot of folks look thin but they have horrible habits like eat shit loads of carbs, fried fatty foods etc and never have consciously worked out in their lives but they remain thin due to their busy lifestyle cos they have to run around the whole day to get work/ errands done and that keeps them thin. But are you really strong and fit. I used to be a thin girl my whole life and let me say never had a great relationship with food (ate all the junk i wanted) and never worked out and felt very good about myself but never really had any stamina to even run for a mile. Started living in the US where I would use my car to go everywhere didn’t make any changes to my lifestyle and put on shit tons of weight. But now I’m slowly learning to forget about my weight and eat healthy and make an effort to work out and the important thing for me now is to not look a certain way but to be healthy and fit for my family. To be able to live long enough to see see grandchildren and be healthy in my old age so that I’m not a burden on my children later. To have stamina to keep up with my hyper active kid. Let me tell you health is so much more important than looking a certain way. And to all the thin people who have shitty eating habits and haven’t worked out their whole life and think they are superior to others to give them rude comments about others weight - just let time pass and that will show you where you are at the health curve. It takes way more effort to work out and eat healthy than just running your mouth. Kudos to you to make this video and to so kindly and graciously open up some people minds!!
It's is also my story. everybody says that you are very fat, looking very ugly. My elder sister is also very younger looking more than me I tried everything but I can't lose my weight. But seriously thank you so much ma'am uploading this video. I am really confident now😊😘
I have watched you for such a long time but never once did I think you needed to change yourself to look beautiful.You are beautiful and have always been regardless of any criteria. I hope you continue loving yourself irrespective of other people's opinions ::]
It's been almost 10 years i follow you on different social media platforms..i love this video especially because this concept of healthy lifestyle exactly matches with mine..thanks a lot and please continue spreading positivity like this..❤️
You are such a beautiful lady 💕 and thank you so much for this video. I really appreciate for this and I really can understand this because I really went through this situation alot. I was a person who love my self alot but after I got married I went through lot of mental and physical harrassment because of my body and lost my self confidence and everything. And I went through depression also for a long because of my husband and his family. And now am divorced and am getting back to my life. So I can understand how it feel. So, please guys stop criticising someone just like that 🙏🏼 you don't know how hard it is
I truly agree with you. I was in a phase, where I lost a lot of weight, people still used to complain that I could lose some more weight. I have now gained weight, but I am happy. I am no more concious about what people think, I have started working out on my own. And it feels good. I really don’t give a fuck to what people say about my body/weight. I am now very confident in my skin.
U r such an inspiration... Please don't let urself fall into society standards... Apart from weight I think there are a lot of stereotypes doing rounds for several years now, for example skin colour,and such....the unrealistic beauty standards are doing more harm than any good... Embracing the way u are is the key to healthy life... Girls n boys out there.. Plz don't succumb to such filthy ideas set by the society.. U are much more than u think u are... And lastly Ankita, thank u so much for addressing this sensitive issue... Lots of love to u❤😘
Dearest Ankita, I have been following you ever since you began your blog. Back then I was immobile for a year following a surgery and gained a lot of weight and felt I needed to up my makeup game to compensate for that. Body image is so problematic , we don’t realise it till much later. I’m still battling my body image issues, but I’m also embracing bare-faced beauty (no makeup, no hair dye) as one way of practising acceptance. But oh lordy, people have stupid comments even there! I have stopped following many beauty bloggers ever since, because I don’t use beauty products anymore, but I laud your openness, honesty and vulnerability in sharing your stories. It makes me feel all the more connected to you. Keep doing what you do, you truly are a ray of sunshine for many people out there :) Love and hugs, Chitra
Dear I think u should try to b healthy not to be size zero ...so I will suggest u to try some good and light workout to be healthy ...😊 I m also trying some workout now a days just to b healthy . I hv no negativity towards my body or any others but I think it's good to do some healthy workout 😊
I felt this.. I also got comments on my weight called as moti in my school ex left me just because I was so fat😂 now I become a nutritionist and lost my weight by my own
Hii there, First of all I loved your voice, so soothing and composed. As you were talking I thought as if you were talking about my story. I too have turned 30 this year and after so much of failures both at personal relationships and professional front and battling both with depression and pcod, i can totally relate with you. I have been chubby all my life and luckily i have not been body shamed but people tagged me as The Cute Chubby Girl which sometimes annoys me as if I am still a kid. But now I am in peace with my body and don't try to alter for anybody else's wishes. I am much more happier and content now. Good to hear your story. More power to you. Love ya..Stay safe.👍❤️
yes it was really!!! just love ur self!!! see in your eyes in the mirror and think of all the beautiful thoughts which you love about yourself!!! it will give you a beautiful smile on your face and u'll feel more happy"😍😍😍
I can totally relate to your video . I’ve been through these phases. I am glad you decided to talk about it in such a positive way. I’ve always admired you for your confident and the way your soothing voice sets you apart from anyone on the Internet. More power to you ♥️
You knw what i think am your reflection bcuz the way you talk nd understand things is the way i think.The positivity,love nd happiness you're spreading are what we should learn.#loveyourself nd accpt your flaws if you have bcuz it will make you flawless...No one is you nd thats your power i think....btw thanks for sharing your story nd spreading this kind of love😊😊😊
U are such a sweetheart and a beautiful soul dear .. ND we all need to understand beauty has no relation with weight or height or skin color. It's more about how we carry ourselves.. ND most importantly everyone is beautiful in their own way... It's high time to break the orthodox prejudices which has no relation with how others want us to be .. It's more about being beautiful inside which reflects outside.. So keep eating.. ND keep loving urself.. Love you always ❤️❤️
This very video is the most relatable for me. Similar comments, suggestions, completed unsolicited that I have been receiving my entire life. Got tired of it and and now I can be bothered by it at all. Lets live our life in our own way.
I agree with Ankita on accepting ourselves as we are instead of hating ourselves. We all have issues. Some people are struggling with weight issues, some have acne problems, etc. Even I had been struggling with an issue myself for more than 10 years. The reason I have used the word "had" is not that the problem has gone away. It is because now I have learnt to live with it. I had wasted enough years thinking about it and working on it to go away and feeling bad about it. But now that I have grown in years and mind, I know life is not all about the looks. You will still have people who love you and those who hate you, even if you are the slimmest, have the best of skin, or have great hair and the like. Infact having issues will help you see who all are the real ones and who are just for pictures. It's your life and you can decide the quality of it. So instead of wasting some beautiful years worrying and feeling bad about yourself, it is better to start living and being happy. and one should remember, we can't please everyone. Even Aishwarya Rai has haters. Or replace his/her name with any other person that you consider the most beautiful. The situation will still be the same.
Hey guys girls don't worry about your weight and looks remember that... "We are not born ugly or we are ugly it's just we live in a justify society" Su just chill ( This what BTS taught me when I was too worried about my looks,they taught me" How To Love Myself)☺️
I am also suffering for thyroid...but l love myself a lot... because no one is perfect only you will have to handling these with a different way.... that's gives you comfort.😘😘
I really enjoyed ur message and ur chat and could vry much relate to myself...i also enjoy eating variety of food rather than to jst restrict myself in eating for weight loss.....i jst hav one mindset dat i can only b hppy when i eat thngs i lyk and in proportions dat will hlp my body dat is not that i ll hav too much of carbs or smethng bt not evn punish my self by not indulging in diff food items...thank u for dis
I have followed you since the times of beauty blogging like probably 8 9 years ago(im not sure) never watched you videos untill today.. And I realized like I have seen you and the saw your channel name and recognized.. I have always loved your blogs.. And now I love your videos.. You're as beautiful as ever and very natural and humble personality.. Would love to know you personally.. Have a great life.. 👍🏻👍🏻😘😘😘.. PS I too have pcos, but one of the rare cases with out weight gain.. Probably because I have hardly eat anything. If I had the option I'd choose meds with all nourishment over actual food when I'm at home and when I'm out I can't stop my hunger... Very strange body mind concept...
Thank u for the motivation.. who told we are not beautiful each and every single person is more beautiful n more confident in their own respective way. It's just that simple..
I loved someone and I was so conscious abt my looks...I rejected myself before I could give him the chance of accepting me... And it was a huge mess... After a while he misunderstood my shyness out of consciousness to be my rudeness... And I completely lost one special bond because of continously rejecting myself
My case is also same like your one whenever someone comes into my life I start thinking that he is not going to like me at all bcz I m very fat 😣......bcz our society have settled a goal for women that we r suppose to be slim trim with an ideal figure
Diiii u are so beautiful thank you for inspiring lot of girls who feel low confidence and low self esteem about their bodies u are so so beautiful love you a lot. Damn ur voice is so calm and soothing
Ankita I've been through something same, although in a totally opposite way. So I couldn't put on weight for as long as I can remember and I've always been too thin, kind of underweight compared to girls my age, and as a result of this I have small breasts too. And I have been body shamed so much by people, by friends, by family, making fun of it and saying things like "it seems you've been rolled on by a road roller, that's how flat you are" or that "you don't even need to wear a bra" not even realising what that was doing to my self-esteem, self-worth and self-confidence. I never felt good enough, beautiful enough and confident enough no matter what I wore. I just didn't feel beautiful and my confidence took such a toll. I was so conscious every time I was around boys, especially, because I felt if girls can make fun of such things, boys will definitely not be sensitive enough to understand and I felt as if no guy would take notice of me based on how thin I am. It was so depressing Ankita. I turned 27 yesterday and now I'm around 48 kgs. It was a slow process even this much weight gain but I feel beautiful now because I stopped listening to the chatter outside and started making myself realise how I just need to feel good no matter how I look because confidence makes look good and not the other way round. I stopped feeling bad about my small breasts and started following and looking up people who have the same traits and still look ravishing because of how well they carry themselves and now if anyone dares body shame me I am not defensive. I just tell them I love myself for who I am.
Aditi Sachdeva been through this my entire life. I’m 24 and 43kgs. Somewhere still insecure about my body. Under confident. But let’s put out positivity for all the people who have been through this and do our bit at the very least!
@@kanishkakhandelwal8603 So true! People need to feel accepted especially during teenage and early 20s. And you know what, just don't let the comments of people make you feel under confident. Don't let your body get to you, just eat right and healthy. Something silly that really helped me was Kareena Kapoor's characters both from K3G and Jab We Met. Both Poo and Geet didn't give a damn and I resolved that's how I want to be. I am what and who I am and I am awesome and I won't let anyone make me feel otherwise ☺️
@@aparnatyagi9570 So glad I could motivate you at least to change your perspective. At the end of the day we all have to live with ourselves before living with anyone else so why not love yourself ❤️❤️
What are you talking about?? You are by far the prettiest RUclipsr I have seen. You look sooooo pretty even without makeup. And I just love the way you talk. It's very calm and peaceful.
I can relate wid u I use to hate my body Alot 😔 People around me Keep saying aw u have put on And dat made me so depressing And now m like I love my self Eat healthy Don't think too much of weight body and al Eat healthy that's it
I cannot believe someone who is so beautiful in and out did not feel beautiful, wherein i watched ur videos and wished to be beautiful like u.
So true!
Same
Same
Same
So true
This must have been emotionally overwhelming to film. Kudos and love to you lady❤️
Prerna dii you are my fav. I was scrolling the comment section n suddenly i saw ur cmmnt ❤
It's great to see you here commenting positively while many others try to pull each other down. More power to both of you. By the way Prerna.. love your channel ❤️❤️
Its great when I see my two favourite youtubers sharing positivity.😊
Wow...its good to see your comment here..I am ur subscriber prerna and always love your content
Prerna Chhabra love you prerna
I have been "Fat" all my life .... I was told I would be single all my life coz I'm not desirable enough for any man to marry me and the only reason somebody would want to marry me is if v give loads of dowry ....
I had very low self esteem and never thought I'm beautiful coz all the fat comments passed .... But things changed once I started working and I had friends who were such good influences who told me that I'm beautiful and helped me build my self esteem and at that same workplace I found the love of my life ....
Turn the time wheel to 2020 I'm still "fat" I'm married for 11 years have a beautiful baby girl she will be 2 next month....
My husband fell in love me for all the love handles I hav flabby arms fat thighs and till date finds me desirable with all the post pregnancy weight gain and all ...
I am so happy reading this ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow! Thankyou for sharing, my love story also started like this 4 years ago, my husband doesn't care how much fat i carry instead he supports me in everything I do, i am a plus size woman who loves makeup and i have recently stated my own channel. The only thing that matters to me is how one is doing his/her makeup irrespective of gender, caste, race, body type etc. Corallista is a guru for me and she is flawless when it comes to makeup.
This makes me emotional........and I am so happy reading this and watching the video
So happy to read this & so glad that you're living your life with someone who accepts you just the way you are :)
This gives me hope ♥️♥️♥️
These brought a bright smile on my face❤
Trust me when i say this, I've been a subscriber of your channel for the longest time 6 years may be, if not less
Looking at the video 'Clickbait' i thought ok may i'll learn something for myself today, but trust me 6 years!! And now finally i feel like you are coming out of your shell and i am loving this transformation. For some apparent reason it's so soothing to see someone grow❤️
You have such a calm soothing voice. Listening to you talk is like meditation
Hi Ankita. My story is so much similar to you. I am also an IIT grad. When I was young I was extremely thin and people used to associate my beauty with my thin stature. That time I was only interested in studies and hence did not bother much. Its been few years that I have gained a lot of weight. Now people say that I would have looked better if I lost some weight. So I finally realize that people can never be happy and my life does not depend on what they say. I don't bother about my appearance now but I have understood the importance of fitness, exercise and having healthy food especially after relocating in Holland. Here people are more conscious about staying fit rather than how they look.
"Unsolicited weight loss advice " this is exactly what I'm facing... i have recently put on weight in the past few years ... I always feel no matter much i have lost weight it's never enough for people...It's just wonderful that u are addressing this issue... It really helps to know that someone else also understands this problem... Love ur videos big fan
I love this video. It's mature, beautiful and positive. There was a time when I was so disgusted with my body & couldn't look at myself in the mirror. I love how you said that you simply got tired of hating your body and that's how you started on this journey of self love because that's how it happened with me as well. Thank you for touching upon the relationship with food as well, I feel like most people don't even talk about that. Thank you for this video. Would love your thoughts on topics which are close to you as well! Stay safe. Best wishes 💕
I can relate to everything that you have said. In fact most of the girls would agree with u on this. It's very sad that people judge a girl only by her looks because this is what society unknowingly teach every kid and this mentality needs to change. I am watching your videos for years now. I have always found u beautiful and inspiring. After watching your very first few videos I was desperate to know ur educational background and was very much impressed when I got to know that u're from IIT. Keep creating more such content, because u influence people positively.
I really feel your content has become so good once you have started connecting with us on a personal level ! You come across as such a nice person ! And you are beautiful !! ♥️
Hi Ankita,
Firstly I started following you on RUclips few years back . Im a Corporate professional and before my career started I have always been studious and never focused on looks or makeup . Honestly I started following you not because of your beauty blog but you personality was so powerful when i first saw you talking. I was astonished to see a beauty blogger talking about scientific ingredients in a beauty products and giving such an indepth analysis about its usage. I was awestruck and started following you. This video today and your couple of other recent videos are so powerful. I have always been a strong independent woman living my life on my own terms. And in you I see so much talent .. so powerful yet so calm. Such an inspiring soul you are. More power to you. Stay healthy stay safe
This was a very honest & relatable video...I have literally gone through all this myself. And I want to add that its not just the hate comments but also the comments from friends & family like -"You have lost weight, you look great now!" that impacts our mental health. We need to be self aware enough to face the society boldly and don't let others impact our happiness.
I do the exact things u said
I believe in eating everything
But in moderation
But most important
Is water..
Drink About 2 lt water per day..
It will surely help ..
N we should be active
Do anything.. walk..
Do housechores
Anything that makes u happy..
Forget ur weight
Focus on healthy things
ken God's child +very imp forget ur husband
I love the way you talk, and i learn so many new words and phrases from you. You are beauty with brains😘
Edit: I am a heavy girl too. I weigh a 100 kilos now and used to be 104kgs. 5ft 6inch, i workout to feel good mentally and not just worrying about my body weight.
Hey, same here! Let's take more space in the world and enjoy life without the fear of getting judged!
I am also curvy body..i weigh 92 kg
Me too I'm 98... Yet more happy than before !
Happiness is the main thing Meghna. Yes it is all upto you that if you want to loose you can. As I have also started my fitness journey
I can really see that you have healed so beautifully and in the most realistic way which will last forever with you ❤️
I have been goin thru a roller coaster ride with my pcod and lately its been a really tough phase. I so needed to watch this. I also fight with depression n have been for decades now. Am also divorced and a single mother which has all also had its toil on me and a reason for my emotional binge eating. I need to also improve my relationship with food. Ur so inspirational and such a gorgeous person. Ur absolutely stunning just the way u are. Much luv to u.
Thank you for so beautifully articulating what all of us need to hear! In this day and age everyone is looking for an external validation to find happiness, sadly we look outward and not inward - once we ourselves feel good in our skin, happiness finds us. You break through the noise of social media and its “curated” nature 👏🏻
Thank you, Ankita. For sharing this with us. Its actually so many out here like us who hear those words and the stares say it all. Though there are people who would come up and say do you know you have a confident and pretty face, there are people who would still say you know you would look so much sexier if you lost those 15-20 kgs. The hardest part is when it comes from your own family. When I hit my puberty, my weight pulled up and my mother constantly reminded me of that but I was a growing child and even though I was a lot active, the weight hit me hard. I was afraid it might have been a medical condition, I was made to go through all sorts of tests whenever I tried losing weight, everything came out to be normal, except my weight. My husband loves me a lot, we were together for like 6 years before we got married, despite of my weight but I still know everyone around hopes how it would have been better had I been down by at least 10 kgs if not more.
But this video made me realize I am quite confident about myself but had just forgotten to appreciate it..
Waiting for your next video.
Love,
this video made me happy and i smiled. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I'm 19 and i feel the same thing as you felt as a teen... anxious and not loving the way i look.
i have been told my entire life that i am 'fat'. as a kid i was not anxious and used to love myself but over the years social standards has now made me hate my body as i started to gain more weight.
but i hope to see myself like you one day...confident and happy.
I have a similar journey . I have always felt fat even when i was at my thinnest. I was never able to enjoy my food or my clothes. All i could think was, " i will lose this weight when i complete a particular goal of my career." So eventually in college i did loose a lot of weight and was the perfect weight for my height. But i still felt fat. I have put on a lot of weight now, but my mindset still remains " career oriented". I am trying hard to change that. I have started eating a lot better.and i do work out 2-3 times a day. I do yoga which i enjoy. And i meditate. i want to reach at a level where i m comfortable in my skin. So thank you for this video....it helped me a lot. Hope to be able to say that i love my body one day and mean it too!💜
I understand and it means alot to me as i am 20kg overweight and fighting wit it since my teen, m so tired n sad over it. i just want to eat and live life as i want... i live fr food 😪
I am also a teen and worried about my weight 😩but then I meet BTS 😃and they taught me "How to love myself"
And now I love myself a lot😎 so keep loving yourself☺️and are You a army
Body positivity awareness is such a vital topic, thank you for being courageous, your journey is inspiring. Keep up the great work! 👏
I'm so so so glad to have come across this video. Every single thing you've talked about from the depression phase to disassociating desirability with how sexy I can look to dressing up to cover my body shape. Every single thing makes me see a reflection of my story in yours.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! :)
It feels such a relief to see you as a hope.. because I'm 24 now and after fighting with depression since a long time, I've started on this journey of accepting my body the way it is but every now and then things around make me question myself as to whether I'm just living in denial or what. But if you are the level I can reach to in this journey, then I'm really glad to have started on to this :)
*teary eyed*
I wish I could hug you right now.
PS: I'm that fan who 2 years ago used to crave the way you looked in your make-up videos and I used to push myself into eating only Daliya as all my meals of the day just to be able to look as beautiful as you! Haha. Have come a long way.
More and more love to you :) ♥️♥️♥️
Ur are a beautiful soul....it’s so therapeutic listening to u....ur calm voice and piecefull face...its calm my bind...unless others u don’t rush or clumsy ur words....I love u so much following u since 4 yrs...body weight can be reduced today or tomorrow but the way u talk or explain things.ur inner beauty no one can change dats ur specialty....love u so much...
U r the first whom I watch in RUclips..seems to be that u r not only beautifull face ...u r also a beautifull soul....its always feels calming by listening n watching u....u r the prsn who teach me to be independent...instead of this that u r not a physiatrist nor a advicer..,but whenever I get low or demotivated I used to listen u...u r my favorite...no matter how u look...but happy to see u like this 😘😘😘😘
The message you gave out with this video is profound. Thank you Ankita. We need more of such videos!
It takes real courage to come upfront with this acknowledgement. You aren't alone..so many girls go through eating disorders.. bulimia, anorexia..just to look slim and beautiful, which they pay for later in their lives as the age advances. Hats off to your courage and strength!
How can u even think at any given point of time???? You are so so pretty... So graceful. I have been watching ur videos for a long time now and trust me just listening to u gives me so much of healing effect. I have never ever commented on any RUclips video but couldn't resist when u said u were not happy about ur body.
m in awe of u gal...the way u speak..your tone...its soothing to the ears...love u
@Ankita : I still remember your very old blog posts on IMBB. You were so thin back then ! You still look so beautiful so many years later ....
We always love you as a person. The way you are. 😍😘
Every word you said rings so true for me and i have never been able to wrap my head around the constant negativity around the size shaming we go through. From personal experience, I can tell you the journey is tough but once you get there you know what you need to do. Love this and love you ♥️ thank you for sharing and cheers to body positivity and loving yourself 😘
Again another video which speaks for a lot of people like us! You truly prove that beauty is not only skin deep and it’s so much dependent on your thoughts and outlook. Two thumbs up for taking up such a sensitive issue in front of the camera. This means a lot... especially coming from the most beautiful RUclipsr I know.
Hi Ankita
I really appreciate your strength and generosity in sharing such a personal story when you could have played safe and not talked about it given that you are in the beauty business. I do have to accept that I myself might have been fleetingly judgemental about your changing weight on the face over the years, especially since you moved to Mumbai. I have felt exactly the same sentiments you mentioned in the video - she is a class act already and she would be able to do so much more by branching out if only she lost some weight especially as she is in the vanity business. Now I understand things better and feel sorry to have been so quick to judge. I also loved how you listed a few of your positive attributes that helped you in over coming the negative body image, they felt so true. I would definitely use a similar list when I feel completely worthless when I focus only on my negatives.
It is you who I come looking for whenever I feel like buying another lipstick shade or when my foundation is nearly empty. You are so - to the point, honest and trust worthy. I have been following your work since your blogging days from ?Japan(if I a remember right) and I feel so proud of your journey and in fact feel like part of your journey. More power to you hun.
Other topics that you may wish to consider,especially as you have so much experience working from home - how to keep your work -home balance whilst WFH. As it is a novel experience for me, I feel like it is constant struggle to avoid one spilling into the other and battling the constant guilt, add to that constant distraction from multiple internet tabs. Any practical tips would be very welcome.
Can I be perfectly honest? We would love to see more of you & your beautiful body than just your face. That would make us curvy girls feel more confident & beautiful about our own bodies.
Kudos to you for making this video about your body size! It shows what a brave lady you are compared to all those mean people who leave nasty comments on your pages without examining themselves first!!
I have pcos and stage IV endometriosis. I have gained 40 pounds in the course of 1 year. I was a professional dancer before and I had to put my dancing on a hold because of the weight gain and health problems. I understand how you completely feel and I am so incredibly proud of you in your journey of self love!! You are stunning & radiant. God has blessed you with much beauty, talent and intelligence!! Thank you for being you!!
Wat is the solution for endometriosis ...I have taking more tablet fr it
Wat r u dng fr that
Jiima Sta is there a way you could message me privately on RUclips ? There’s no cure for endometriosis but I can give you some advice for how to control it.
I remember when i met you n u said being beautiful is not linked to weight ,your smile, direct eye contact n the power of your words hit me ❤️
Rujuta has changed my life too
I am getting emotional you just explained what I felt in the past ❤ But now I learnt self love ❤😘 and self love is sukoon so much..... Thanks for the video.
Such a soothing video.. you described your experience so beautifully. Thanks for sharing with us.
Like you mentioned, it's so important to be healthy, both mind, and body. Weight is so transitory, it's the other things that we need to work on, like you said. Focusing on our inward selves makes us better people, rather than pouring so much into beautifying our outward appearances.
Loved this video. I too have faced hormonal issues. I've also faced backlash from close people when I turned from super skinny girl to slightly overweight. But know I'm learning to balance it out. I'm working on my health and it has improved. It's all about taking care of yourself and being at peace with yourself.
Stay Beautiful Ankita. Your inner radiance shines through. It's something that's admirable. Keep it going. We need more influencers like you who talk about the real deal. Loads of love! 🌹
P.S. love the music, I noticed that the song "Oh Holy Night" was playing in the background. :')
Beautiful video! So genuine.. So from the heart ... And congratulations on getting past the body image issues all of us girls carry around. This will inspire so many !! Thanks for sharing this!!!
i am a doctor and overweight since i was 12 now i have graduated from medical college i am still overweight but i know i am perfect but for health concerns i started running to maintain my physique not to lose weight and i can run more than my sisters who are in normal weight range. you have done a good job by accepting your body as it is keep it going all the best @corallista
I just paused to video to say this, you are not your body! I've been watching you for yearrsss now and you've always been such an inspiration, I remember reading the day in your life part of your blog, your paintings there. You were one of the first beauty bloggers I came across and I was so impressed with your degree as well. I delved into makeup and painting or was motivated to, because of you! LOTS OF LOVE, I'm back to watching the video, bye!
Thank you so much for this video! I've been dealing with PCOS and insulin resistance for a while now, which makes it really difficult for me to shed weight. You've given me a new perspective now! ❤️
You have been my favorite for almost 10 years now. I started reading your blog when I was in my maternity and I think with you I have also grown. Looking ar you and hearing you talk give a sense of calmness.
U r such a beautiful person in every possible way❤️. You have been an inspiration to me since past many years. You inspire me with wtever u post one way or the other. You r also one of the very few reasons i gained so much of interest into makeup and beauty that I am a professional makeup artist and hairstylist now. Just completed the course and planning much more to do in the same field.And, nw again u posted something that has filled me with the positivity that was much needed bcoz I can connect myself to it in certain ways. U r doing amazing wrk. Keep inspiring the way u always have. Lots of love and good wishes❤️.
U r beautiful mam....... Such an independent N confident lady with lots of positivity....... Always luv uhh...... 😘 😘 😘 😘....... U r such an inspiration........ N I followed u since 1 yr but......... Commented for the frst tym........ Bcoz I thought comment should b worth itself.... N here is ur prfct vdo..... 😘 😘 😘 😘
Yes right Ankita mam
U r really beautiful always
Sooo.... Beautiful she is.
I am overweight and I sure am working towards losing it so that I don't put my health at risk but seeing you being so confident and clam about yourself makes me feel the same. I feel like being represented. Thanku❤️
This one was much needed👍...Ive gone through such experience that I never thought of telling anyone ....I had a breast upliftment surgery(I lost a lot of weight quickly at once)in 2015 which went wrong ...left me with prominent scar...n I got hurtful comments from the one who mattered the most ....I’m still not confident for this & also due to my sagging skin overall ...but ur video made me share this...thanks for speaking up on this matter
Now everyone told me you look not good but your conversation gives me lot of energy love you Ankita
Been loving these personal videos ❤️ love how you conveyed the message
Hi 👋.. I came acrosss your videos and am quite emotional about them .. our story is more or less the same .. i have been struggling with weight issues since my adolescence and I have been academically brilliant and I always told myself what u told to u when losing weight and I also have been through a miscarriage and domestic abuse in my ruptured marriage and a harsh divorce .. when I watched this video tears rolled down my eyes .. I started leaning to love my body and my soul and started appreciating myself just the way I am .. we women really need this kind of body positivity videos .. love u .. Thank u somuch fr this video .. u are the most beautiful n honest girl I have ever come across .. I wish I should meet u some day in person .. u are a true inspiration girl
Thank you for sharing this dear. I can completely relate to your narrative. It’s so important that you talked about self worth not being attached to the way we look, especially with your beauty channel, I’m so happy you used your platform to share this with so many young girls struggling with body positivity. Also love that you say you are proud of your intellect, your intelligence really shines through. You are a beautiful soul and a gorgeous woman. ❤️❤️❤️
This is what the world needs to hear and learn.. Hope everyone could be as mature and intelligent as u are.. Loved this video mam 😊
@corallista I feel like giving you a hug.. You go girl. It takes a lot of courage to share personal things publically. I have never commented on your video. But this time I couldn't stop myself. You know what Ankita self love is very important. Kyunki taane marne ka theka to duniya ne le rakha hai. I just don't understand why can't people just keep their advice regarding marriage and weight to themselves. But you correctly said that you should not measure your self worth in terms of your weight or looks. More power and Loads of love to you Ankita 💓💓..
Hi Ankita ,i follow you since a long time but commenting you first time, you are really very kind hearted and beautiful lady.
Ppl are too much judgemental ,I face those bad comments too on my channel they don't know how much these words hurts to a ppl they don't know about any medical condition but this video is amazing .
Love you
You spoke my heart out. I have started gaining weight for past years, and the kind of negative comments I have got from people around are beyond imagination. This really feels good when someone talks about the same problems as yours. It makes us realize we aren't the only one. Thank you🙏💕
Soooo pureee. I love how you appreciate yourself. I loved the way you said "I'm intelligent". Wow. Sooo inspiring. ♥️
Ankita I'm one of your oldest subscriber, and you are basically first beauty blogger whom i have started following when i have started taking interest in make up.. I have seen your body changes, and i can resemble myself so lot with you, you always give so positivity, your videos are so positive, your voice is so soothing to hear, i can hear you for long time without even forwarding for seconds, this video really helped me a lot about my concept of my body and i hope i can also starting loving my body from now onwards.. Sending love as always ♥️😍.. You are really beautiful inside out. ♥️
Exactly....love u Ankita. U r so beautiful. A matured talk.
Thank u so much ankita for this video
Learning to love your body is a journey
Learning to appreciate ,accept and love my imperfect self is so liberating.
I can totally relate with you. I am overweight and on my journey to loving myself and being healthy.
Great talk! You couldn’t have conveyed those important points any better. Thank you for this video. This needs to be a public notice message to everyone. Being an Indian and living in India for many years I know this about us that sometimes we just don’t have any filter and we could say the most rudest thing to a stranger with a straight face as if you are giving the biggest “gyan” or advise to someone like “hey you could look so pretty if you were thinner”. It’s just downright rude to say that to anyone let alone a stranger. And the person giving this advise is not doing it for your good but they just feel superior to you and feel that they are in a better place coz they look someway physically to downright say this to your face but really are you healthy and strong physically to make such comments.no matter fat or thin can climb five floors of stairs without being out of breath and dying a lil bit. The whole point is to be happy healthy and having healthy habits. Lot of folks look thin but they have horrible habits like eat shit loads of carbs, fried fatty foods etc and never have consciously worked out in their lives but they remain thin due to their busy lifestyle cos they have to run around the whole day to get work/ errands done and that keeps them thin. But are you really strong and fit. I used to be a thin girl my whole life and let me say never had a great relationship with food (ate all the junk i wanted) and never worked out and felt very good about myself but never really had any stamina to even run for a mile. Started living in the US where I would use my car to go everywhere didn’t make any changes to my lifestyle and put on shit tons of weight. But now I’m slowly learning to forget about my weight and eat healthy and make an effort to work out and the important thing for me now is to not look a certain way but to be healthy and fit for my family. To be able to live long enough to see see grandchildren and be healthy in my old age so that I’m not a burden on my children later. To have stamina to keep up with my hyper active kid. Let me tell you health is so much more important than looking a certain way. And to all the thin people who have shitty eating habits and haven’t worked out their whole life and think they are superior to others to give them rude comments about others weight - just let time pass and that will show you where you are at the health curve. It takes way more effort to work out and eat healthy than just running your mouth. Kudos to you to make this video and to so kindly and graciously open up some people minds!!
It's is also my story. everybody says that you are very fat, looking very ugly. My elder sister is also very younger looking more than me I tried everything but I can't lose my weight. But seriously thank you so much ma'am uploading this video. I am really confident now😊😘
Neha, it could be a medical issue like thyroid disorder. You must go for a medical check up
Iam a mom & gained 90kgs during pregnancy & now I'm a MMA & fitness trainer
I have watched you for such a long time but never once did I think you needed to change yourself to look beautiful.You are beautiful and have always been regardless of any criteria. I hope you continue loving yourself irrespective of other people's opinions ::]
U always looked pretty no matter how much weight u have put on..keep glowing..
It's been almost 10 years i follow you on different social media platforms..i love this video especially because this concept of healthy lifestyle exactly matches with mine..thanks a lot and please continue spreading positivity like this..❤️
You are such a beautiful lady 💕 and thank you so much for this video. I really appreciate for this and I really can understand this because I really went through this situation alot. I was a person who love my self alot but after I got married I went through lot of mental and physical harrassment because of my body and lost my self confidence and everything. And I went through depression also for a long because of my husband and his family. And now am divorced and am getting back to my life. So I can understand how it feel. So, please guys stop criticising someone just like that 🙏🏼 you don't know how hard it is
I truly agree with you. I was in a phase, where I lost a lot of weight, people still used to complain that I could lose some more weight. I have now gained weight, but I am happy. I am no more concious about what people think, I have started working out on my own. And it feels good. I really don’t give a fuck to what people say about my body/weight. I am now very confident in my skin.
U r such an inspiration... Please don't let urself fall into society standards... Apart from weight I think there are a lot of stereotypes doing rounds for several years now, for example skin colour,and such....the unrealistic beauty standards are doing more harm than any good... Embracing the way u are is the key to healthy life... Girls n boys out there.. Plz don't succumb to such filthy ideas set by the society.. U are much more than u think u are... And lastly Ankita, thank u so much for addressing this sensitive issue... Lots of love to u❤😘
This is so comforting. Thank you so much, Ankita 💖
Dearest Ankita,
I have been following you ever since you began your blog. Back then I was immobile for a year following a surgery and gained a lot of weight and felt I needed to up my makeup game to compensate for that. Body image is so problematic , we don’t realise it till much later. I’m still battling my body image issues, but I’m also embracing bare-faced beauty (no makeup, no hair dye) as one way of practising acceptance. But oh lordy, people have stupid comments even there! I have stopped following many beauty bloggers ever since, because I don’t use beauty products anymore, but I laud your openness, honesty and vulnerability in sharing your stories. It makes me feel all the more connected to you. Keep doing what you do, you truly are a ray of sunshine for many people out there :) Love and hugs, Chitra
Also I wanna add that your voice is smooth and calming.
Can you please share your dressing styles as I also have curvy shaped body.
I m 22 years old I m 63 kg . I was desperately trying abt size zero. But after watching ur video I changed my mind
Dear I think u should try to b healthy not to be size zero ...so I will suggest u to try some good and light workout to be healthy ...😊 I m also trying some workout now a days just to b healthy . I hv no negativity towards my body or any others but I think it's good to do some healthy workout 😊
I felt this.. I also got comments on my weight called as moti in my school ex left me just because I was so fat😂 now I become a nutritionist and lost my weight by my own
Hii there, First of all I loved your voice, so soothing and composed. As you were talking I thought as if you were talking about my story. I too have turned 30 this year and after so much of failures both at personal relationships and professional front and battling both with depression and pcod, i can totally relate with you. I have been chubby all my life and luckily i have not been body shamed but people tagged me as The Cute Chubby Girl which sometimes annoys me as if I am still a kid. But now I am in peace with my body and don't try to alter for anybody else's wishes. I am much more happier and content now. Good to hear your story. More power to you. Love ya..Stay safe.👍❤️

I can totally relate to your video . I’ve been through these phases. I am glad you decided to talk about it in such a positive way. I’ve always admired you for your confident and the way your soothing voice sets you apart from anyone on the Internet. More power to you ♥️

I feel like you were cute when you were slimmer but now you look much more attractive and confident 🌹
U are such a sweetheart and a beautiful soul dear
.. ND we all need to understand beauty has no relation with weight or height or skin color.
It's more about how we carry ourselves.. ND most importantly everyone is beautiful in their own way... It's high time to break the orthodox prejudices which has no relation with how others want us to be .. It's more about being beautiful inside which reflects outside.. So keep eating.. ND keep loving urself.. Love you always ❤️❤️
This very video is the most relatable for me.
Similar comments, suggestions, completed unsolicited that I have been receiving my entire life.
Got tired of it and and now I can be bothered by it at all.
Lets live our life in our own way.
I agree with Ankita on accepting ourselves as we are instead of hating ourselves. We all have issues. Some people are struggling with weight issues, some have acne problems, etc. Even I had been struggling with an issue myself for more than 10 years. The reason I have used the word "had" is not that the problem has gone away. It is because now I have learnt to live with it. I had wasted enough years thinking about it and working on it to go away and feeling bad about it. But now that I have grown in years and mind, I know life is not all about the looks. You will still have people who love you and those who hate you, even if you are the slimmest, have the best of skin, or have great hair and the like. Infact having issues will help you see who all are the real ones and who are just for pictures. It's your life and you can decide the quality of it. So instead of wasting some beautiful years worrying and feeling bad about yourself, it is better to start living and being happy. and one should remember, we can't please everyone. Even Aishwarya Rai has haters. Or replace his/her name with any other person that you consider the most beautiful. The situation will still be the same.
THIS IS GOING TO HELP ME SO MUCH.
Hey guys girls don't worry about your weight and looks remember that...
"We are not born ugly or we are ugly it's just we live in a justify society"
Su just chill ( This what BTS taught me when I was too worried about my looks,they taught me" How To Love Myself)☺️
Thank You for saying this!! Louder for the people in the back!! ❤️❤️❤️
So happy to see a beauty influencer talking about this. You deserve a big hug and thanks from all of us out there who have been on the same journey.
I am also suffering for thyroid...but l love myself a lot... because no one is perfect only you will have to handling these with a different way.... that's gives you comfort.😘😘
I really enjoyed ur message and ur chat and could vry much relate to myself...i also enjoy eating variety of food rather than to jst restrict myself in eating for weight loss.....i jst hav one mindset dat i can only b hppy when i eat thngs i lyk and in proportions dat will hlp my body dat is not that i ll hav too much of carbs or smethng bt not evn punish my self by not indulging in diff food items...thank u for dis
I have followed you since the times of beauty blogging like probably 8 9 years ago(im not sure) never watched you videos untill today.. And I realized like I have seen you and the saw your channel name and recognized.. I have always loved your blogs.. And now I love your videos.. You're as beautiful as ever and very natural and humble personality.. Would love to know you personally.. Have a great life.. 👍🏻👍🏻😘😘😘..
PS I too have pcos, but one of the rare cases with out weight gain.. Probably because I have hardly eat anything. If I had the option I'd choose meds with all nourishment over actual food when I'm at home and when I'm out I can't stop my hunger... Very strange body mind concept...
Thank u for the motivation.. who told we are not beautiful each and every single person is more beautiful n more confident in their own respective way. It's just that simple..
I can listen to you whole day.. You have such a calming voice! ❤
I loved someone and I was so conscious abt my looks...I rejected myself before I could give him the chance of accepting me... And it was a huge mess... After a while he misunderstood my shyness out of consciousness to be my rudeness... And I completely lost one special bond because of continously rejecting myself
My case is also same like your one whenever someone comes into my life I start thinking that he is not going to like me at all bcz I m very fat 😣......bcz our society have settled a goal for women that we r suppose to be slim trim with an ideal figure
Anam Farooqui yeah exactly my thoughts... Anam.. I can understand... Your state of mind...
Love to see you sharing so many things these days, apart from makeup and skincare
Diiii u are so beautiful thank you for inspiring lot of girls who feel low confidence and low self esteem about their bodies u are so so beautiful love you a lot. Damn ur voice is so calm and soothing
Ankita I've been through something same, although in a totally opposite way. So I couldn't put on weight for as long as I can remember and I've always been too thin, kind of underweight compared to girls my age, and as a result of this I have small breasts too. And I have been body shamed so much by people, by friends, by family, making fun of it and saying things like "it seems you've been rolled on by a road roller, that's how flat you are" or that "you don't even need to wear a bra" not even realising what that was doing to my self-esteem, self-worth and self-confidence. I never felt good enough, beautiful enough and confident enough no matter what I wore. I just didn't feel beautiful and my confidence took such a toll. I was so conscious every time I was around boys, especially, because I felt if girls can make fun of such things, boys will definitely not be sensitive enough to understand and I felt as if no guy would take notice of me based on how thin I am. It was so depressing Ankita.
I turned 27 yesterday and now I'm around 48 kgs. It was a slow process even this much weight gain but I feel beautiful now because I stopped listening to the chatter outside and started making myself realise how I just need to feel good no matter how I look because confidence makes look good and not the other way round. I stopped feeling bad about my small breasts and started following and looking up people who have the same traits and still look ravishing because of how well they carry themselves and now if anyone dares body shame me I am not defensive. I just tell them I love myself for who I am.
Aditi Sachdeva been through this my entire life. I’m 24 and 43kgs. Somewhere still insecure about my body. Under confident. But let’s put out positivity for all the people who have been through this and do our bit at the very least!
@@kanishkakhandelwal8603 So true! People need to feel accepted especially during teenage and early 20s. And you know what, just don't let the comments of people make you feel under confident. Don't let your body get to you, just eat right and healthy. Something silly that really helped me was Kareena Kapoor's characters both from K3G and Jab We Met. Both Poo and Geet didn't give a damn and I resolved that's how I want to be. I am what and who I am and I am awesome and I won't let anyone make me feel otherwise ☺️
I also feel the same and i hope now i will definitely change my mindset. I felt that u told my story.
@@aparnatyagi9570 So glad I could motivate you at least to change your perspective. At the end of the day we all have to live with ourselves before living with anyone else so why not love yourself ❤️❤️
U r so nice to cc uu I will feel happy when ever I cc ur vedios like any type of vedios
This is why I follow you so much motivated nd uplifting spirit.
What are you talking about?? You are by far the prettiest RUclipsr I have seen. You look sooooo pretty even without makeup. And I just love the way you talk. It's very calm and peaceful.
I can relate wid u
I use to hate my body
Alot
😔 People around me
Keep saying aw u have put on
And dat made me so depressing
And now m like I love my self
Eat healthy
Don't think too much of weight body and al
Eat healthy that's it
