You tell them Samantha these trolls are nothing but punks and still live at home with their moms and probably some of them live with their siblings because they can't get a job🤣😜
I am really really short, like 4'11", if I was like 5'5" , my weight would be fine. Cause I'm so short, it's really hard to maintain my weight. I feel so gross and not confident about my body unless when I get my hair colored then I feel like a queen. I lost 20 pounds when my father died , not by choice, just from depression and grieving and I'm still grieving now. I have been diagnosed with binge eating disorder cause it made me feel so much better after words, then I felt so horrible for even eating. I was really bullied in school from mainly middle school to high school. I was called a dwarf sometimes too... I am having such a hard time feeling confident body wise because I feel super gross and not looking good. I stopped growing when I was 14. Not everyone has that problem, but I did want to tell my story to hopefully put a different outlook on life for anyone who has lost weight and gained it right back and have it just keep fluctuating without trying but it's due to severe anxiety / depression and stress and can be grieving too.
Yeah, I feel like I may have an eating disorder even though I haven't been tested. Eating in front of others terrifies me and I don't like to eat a lot since I feel overweight or 'too fat' even though I am underweight by quite a bit which sucks :/
the outraged "mummy has a tummy!" quote just perfectly sums up how weird society's concept of fat, especially after having a child, is
Like fr... wtf do you expect a woman who just gave birth to look like... i mean sometimes they do go back to their original body shape but sometimes thats not the case and that is totally okay... wtf is wrong with ppl🤷♀️🤦♀️🙄

“Kate Hudson, MOTHER OF 3, can’t hide her pouchy stomach in a pink bikini”
First of all, *does she have to??* no.
Second, please come back to us after carrying and giving birth to 3 children and show us how your body looks. We’ll wait.
😘
Also like, i think it deserves some additional level of respect, ive never given birth or have been pregnant, but i know that pregnancy and birth are really hard. I feel like what they are doing is akin to laughing at a soldier for his scars instead of respecting him for what he went through. Im not saying that pregnancy and war are similar in any way, but this woman has done something that is so greater and harder than just good looks, and the looks is what youre concerned about? Really??
Yes! I remember when people gave Anne Hathaway shit for saying “hey, let’s not make fun of women for putting on weight when they have a baby”. Like...that’s s a lot of work. Growing another person is a lot of work. Can you blame anyone for not having energy to go to the gym after all that?
@@atinyevil1383 exactly and also it's a natural thing that happens to a female body, after birth they tend to put on weight because they need to be able to make milk for their babies , and also not getting enough sleep can impact your weight as well
I don't think birthing deserves respect, its such a casual thing all mammals do, only humans make a fuss about it, plus: Post-partum bodies look yucky and thats normal after all that shit.Magazines make such a wild thing out of something everyone already knows.
@@zombiedoll986 i dont think r@pe deserves condemnation, its such a casual thing all mammals do, only humans make a fuss about it.
Oh, wait, thats not how it works cause animals cant really make a fuss about anything, and even if they could they dont have the cognitive capability to recognise what deserves the fuss unless it is needed for survival, and generally, just because all mammals do something it doesn't mean humans should/shouldnt do it cause like, were A BIT more advanced and smart.
And yea, why respect a person doing something that is very hard physically and very painful for a good cause?
I don't think the magazine companies realize how many youth they encourage to develop ED's; my sister would read US magazine religiously and she has a horrible eating disorder she still struggles with and has struggled with for over six years.
Idk, I wouldn't be shocked if they did that on purpose to make more money
Yeah what they said. In the same publication where they talk about how ‘disgusting’ those bodies are, they’ll have 50 dieting tips and ads for gym programs.
I forget where but in some close knit culture they introduced TV and ALL OF A SUDDEN young girls with anorexia were popping up when all women in the group used to be happy to be on the bigger side
It definitely goes both ways when you've got people who are severely harsh with insults to others about their body causing them to have an ED, but it's just the same when no one steps in to get them help. Toxic positivity is a thing, you've gotta be real with people. Tess Holliday and Eugenia Cooney are living dangerously.
that's horrible, oh my god. people really need to stop pushing these stereotypes of "beauty/attractiveness" on people, it does nothing but cause harm
also unrelated, but i love your pfp!! as a transmasc myself, i hc hunter as transmasc just like me :D
Reading those little blurbs about the celebs “ugly back fat” “saggy arms” etc., had my jaw on the floor. I don’t read those stupid magazines, I knew they talked shit, but yikes they’re CRUEL!
Also fat isn't even ugly. Like damn fat is a natural part of the body. People need some amount of fat to live. Plus even unhealthy people are still people
I assumed they left that shit in the early 2000s, but I guess not...if anything, it's gotten worse with Instagram bodies being the new goal.
@@Itsangie4now Honestly alot of the "you're being too sensitive" shit is rhetoric a bully would use
@@devonmunn5728 Well maybe I can't differentiate between what's bullying? And what's body shaming?
@@Itsangie4now
Bullying is when a kid constantly harasses a person for some reason (could be specific due to their race, size, religion, sexual orientation, gender or just because the bully sees them as an easy target)
Body Shaming is when a person talks negatively about someone's body and makes them feel like shit because of it
people don't realize how damaging their words can be. i was bullied for my appearance when i was 8 years old and since then i've been hospitalized twice for sui*idal thoughts. please, please, please, be kind to those around you, you never know what they're going through.
This 🙏
Much love ❤️
then again, there are people who dont have a weak mindset as you have.
@@dymuzalonmateeth1725 They were 8, you are truly pathetic. How can you not understand the impact it has on you at such a young age? Your walls are not yet built up at the age to tolerate or strengthen yourself against hatred or bullying, it stunts this ability to do so and you’re left feeling vulnerable as you grow older and sensitive towards things that have carved you out already as youth.
@@novanight5249 thank u :')
I just wanted to say, as a person who's struggled with their weight and obesity their entire life, it's comforting to hear from a youtuber you admire that there's nothing wrong with you. Doesn't mean I'm not going to continue trying to lose weight for my own physical wellbeing, but it's good to know that there's someone out there with a platform and a voice who has our back. :D
I've been overweight since puberty because of undiagnosed mental health issues. Now that I've gotten to the point where I can deal with them, I've started to work on my physical health.
you are valid and you are worthy of love. loving your self and accepting your body should mean to love who you are. However it is important to be healthy and work towards a healthy lifestyle both mentality and the other health wise lol

I want to see the people who publish/write these magazine articles do a whole magazine of photos of THEM and see how they write it.
we should.
Honestly, I have a feeling that these tabloid publishers are talking about their own insecurities and push them onto celebs cause they can't gain the confidence and life that they do.
I'm a personal trainer, and some of my most motivated, strong-willed clients are fat people. The people least likely to stick with training, regardless of body type, are those with strictly aesthetic goals, because that's an incredibly discouraging place to approach from as visible changes take time. They should be a side-effect, not a central goal. All this to say, I wouldn't be surprised if in instances where fat people are "less motivated", it's because they've been shamed into taking action by a culture of fatphobia (might make a video about this, tbh.)
As always, thank you for your insight and kindness within it.
You sound like amazing personal trainer. Your clients are lucky to have you
Yeah that makes sense. If someone does it only for the aesthetic won't want to put much effort. But large people who are tired of the weight will work as hard as they can to lose it
I wanna get jacked. I may never get muscles like Tsianina Joelson (Bring It On, Xena) or Florence Kasumba (Black Panther) or Danai Gurira (The Walking Dead, Black Panther). Or Megan Rapinoe. But I wanna try. Does that sound like a healthy goal from your perspective as a personal trainer?
@Dale Im pretty sure he implied that but in words not as crude as you put it. Being obese is bad of course but what is considered "fat" a lot of the time doesn't neccicarily mean you are not healthy. So on the very lower end of what society considers fat isnt a bad thing, you can be "fat" and still have a moderate diet and be healthy.
@Dale The toxic side of the USA's obesity epidemic, like them, is oft-ignored (or demonized) because it can be spun by its opposition as hate-mongering. If you address obesity as a bad health issue without being really careful about it, you can get flamed, hated, even banned. But if you post anything with the word "acceptance", you are treated with kid gloves and given literally every benefit of the doubt before you are even reviewed for an offense. Here, in the USA, two of the biggest catalysts inflaming our obesity epidemic are mobility scooters and fat-acceptance culture bypassing every health anything on everything relative to health on top of the wave of perceived privilege on every issue.
I know it was a joke but the title had me worried for a second lmao

@@lily1495 LOOOL😭
no seriously the only magazine i ever bought was the one they made for moshi monsters 😭
I grew up with the "heroine chic" look in the 90s where being super sickly thin was the best way to look. I developed an ED for a long time and spiraled from there. It took a mental break down from other factors and age to tell myself "you're fine! stop it" I'm at a healthy weight and enjoying my curves (yes I still struggle but that's ok!) It's a journey,
I'm so happy for you bro! You go!
One of my mom's favorite things to do growing up was call me into her room, hold up a pair of my jeans, and tell me things like, " this is unacceptable. No one's going to love you unless you lose weight". Important to note, I wasn't even what one could consider fat. I had a tiny bit of pudge. But, since I wasn't skinny as she thought I should be, she thought it was okay to do that. Led to me having a serious eating disorder that I'm still fighting, that almost killed me at one point because I lost so much. These things have consequences. Glad report that I'm back at a healthy weight, now, married to a wonderful man who's constantly telling me how gorgeous I am and offering to fight my brain when those thoughts come up. No matter what anybody else tells you, you're beautiful no matter what you look like, how much you weigh. You're gorgeous, just the way you are. And if anyone tries to convince you differently, high-five them with a chair. ( For legal reasons, that's a joke. Pls don't hit rude people with chairs, it's unfair to the chair. )
Sigh...the lies people expect to hear...
You’re right, poor chair. You go girl !!
I'm glad youve found someone who love you for you.
@Beige Rodriguez poor soul hope you are doing better

Facts are bullying. Obese people can't walk up a flight of stairs without almost passing out.
@@ShinigamiRyan That's not what OP talked about. Way to miss the point.
@@NIHIL_EGO Tell me how fat people are good, or over eating isn't the same as smoking till your lungs collapse, or how being 'fatphobic' is equal to racism as many sjws like to say.
@@ShinigamiRyan Being obese comes with a higher chance for heart disease, diabetes and other health risks, of course. But the argument lies more on the great amount of stigma against fat people, even people that deviate slightly of the norm, that is illogical from just that standpoint that (obese people have higher health risks) like shaming people with some fat on their belly from going to the beach or people overly stressing about the extra kg they put over winter. Honestly i haven't dive into or educate myself on all the examples of fatphobia in day-to-day life but just look around you, its there..
As a large person trying to lose weight, thank you. There's so much stigma and issues pertaining to this, the people who were cruel to me for my weight only made me eat more, the people who help me are the one's who take me seriously, including my doctor.
Remember that you are loved and valid
You can do this! Good luck with losing weight :D

Let's be honest: Obesity is extremely unhealthy, especially in the long term. But that doesn't make judging people based on their physical shape any more right or even justifiable. Also doctors should still look out for other possible explanations for a symptom than the patient's weight (no matter how common the specific symptom is for obese people).
There used to be this boomer argument that "bullying fat people makes them want to lose weight", which is probably the pinnacle of stupidity😅
most of the time when people make fun of overweight people, like maybe not most of the time but a lot of the time its people who are not even unhealthily overweight. Like slightly chubby but not obese.
I'd recommend reading the article 'Weight Science: Evaluating the Evidence for a Paradigm Shift' by Lindo Bacon. It's free to read online.
exactly! skinny people can also be unhealthy but no one tells them to eat healthier and work out, they congratulate them on how they can eat so much and not workout and stay small.
What really bothers me is the way people will equate "healthy" with "worthy of basic respect". Like no, you do not get to treat people as subhuman because of their health! Whether they're fat and healthy or fat and unhealthy, they are human beings and deserve basic human decency. Also, someone else's health is none of your damn business! (not directed at you op!) Like imagine if you had a broken leg and random strangers were not only giving you unsolicited advice on how to fix it, but also calling you stupid for breaking it, lazy for using crutches and a burden on society for going to the hospital. That would be immediately recognized as completely insane and extremely rude, but somehow it's generally considered "acceptable" to treat people that way because of their weight.
@@unoriginal1086 The most dangerous kind of fat is visceral fat (inside your belly, under your abs, around your organs). There's people who wouldn't even be seen as chubby, let alone fat, who have this kind of visceral fat. On the other hand, there's chubby people who have low to no visceral fat at all. Those are the people who can have a little bit of extra fat on the outside while still being healthy. For obese people, they all have visceral fat as well, lowering their lifespan and also putting stress on their joints. But if someone is just slightly chubby, it's hard to say from the outside whether someone has a lot of visceral fat or not (and therefore if the person is healthy). One more reason why it's stupid to hate on people for their body weight. I also gained some weight within my last relationship and after the breakup, when I was at the bottom of my depression. Slowly working my way out of this by dieting and working out a lot and I can just say: It's fucking worth it! I feel happier than ever before! But this is everyone's own decision. For years, lots of people have tried to get me to do sports... It always failed, because I had no intrinsic motivation. If you're really into psychology, you maybe (!) could find out how to give someone intrinsic motivation if you're really worried about someone who has too much weight. But shaming them is just stupid af...

@@margieeee7 Aw, Thank you! 💅
when you think your fatphobia isn’t dangerous, remember this: being overweight will never be as unhealthy as starvation. it should be obvious, right? well, that’s what fatphobia drives people into. you might not see the harm, you might think it even goes unseen, but when you fatshame a celebrity on the internet or make a comment on someone’s plate, someone’s hearing. someone, maybe not the receptor you thought of, got that message loud and clear: they need to change their body to be desired and respected.
so think twice before saying these things, they aren’t as harmless as you think.
I'm overweight and diabetic. My doctors ALWAYS tell me, eating something "bad for me" is better than eating nothing at all. Eating nothing is much more immediately dangerous.

Childhood obesity is on the rise. Most of these children will be out lived by their parents. Obesity is unhealthy. Thin shaming is more harmful than fat shaming.
@@ShinigamiRyan an eating disorder, suicidal ideation, being a victim of bullying, and f-ing hating yourself are more unhealthy (and deadly) than obesity. body shaming is unacceptable.
As a person who’s almost always been bigger than other people my age it makes me so sad and irritated that people have to go out of their way just to discriminate others.. obviously this counts for much more other issues in the world too.

Thank you for caring about fat people. I wasn't thin before 2020 and I gained a whole bunch more during it bc of basically just being anxious and staying inside, I stopped going on walks & errands almost entirely. While I do wanna go back to my previous level of fat (no, not to being *thin*. say that to my face and I'll tackle you with my superior mass), feeling ashamed about any physical activity being even harder now hasn't exactly done any good to my mental health (surprize), so it especially now cheers me up seeing a video of support like this. Thank you, girl
As somebody that has lived as a gay man for 23 years of my life I always struggled with weight and body issues because I would constantly try to seek male validation for having a nice body. Now realising that I'm trans I can expect when I transition my hips and thighs will widen and I will mosk likely deal with stretch marks and cellulite and I am completely okay with that and looking forward to it! I just need my own validation and happiness and to love my body no matter what size.❤
As a fat girl, thank you for this video. People really treat fat people like shit. I think it's gotten a little better, but there's still so far to go. I've had doctors ignore my problems and refuse to look into thing because "why don't you try to lose some weight, first. The we will look into it."
When i was 16 and suicidal, instead of seeking out mental health care for me, my dad tried to send me to fat camp. Because OBVIOUSLY that was why I wanted to be un-alive 🙄 totally. The way my mom insults people on TV on their looks or body type, and acts annoyed when I say something. Even tho both of my parents are also fat, they still project their bias onto other fat people.
I've come a long way in my self love journey, and I still have a long way to go. But I think purposely being kind to fat people, and correcting those negative thoughts in my head, has helped a lot. So has seeing other fat people love themselves and still use the word fat. Because fat and beautiful are not opposites

Everyone on that list is beautiful and it just broke my heart, I couldn’t imagine what that would feel like
And the pictures are all overly detailed, no ones skin looks like that in real life, no matter how old
The correct environment can do a lot for your self image. I constantly watch anime and cartoons and think "I'd love to cosplay as that character", but then I think back to the image of a large, bearded man dressed as sailor moon, and immediately think "Never mind, I'm too fat for that". I'd never impose this on anyone else, but for me it's hard to overcome this kind of internalized bias.
Contrast that with naturist (nudist) swim nights at an indoor water park. I never hesitate to go to those, because I can be butt naked and I *know* nobody gives a shit. I've seen people of all body shapes and sizes attend, even some who have skin conditions. Nobody looks at them differently to if they were clothed. Body positivity is such a big part of naturist philosophy, it makes me passionate about ensuring other people have the option to join us.
To be honest, most people don’t mind that cosplayers are big or are even crossdressing. If you want to cosplay, that’s great. Do it.

I definitely prefer body neutrality to being like MY FAT ASS IS BEAUTIFUL. Some people genuinely feel that way but I'm working on "my weight isn't indicative of my value and worth as a person" and "my weight is not the most interesting thing about me". Calling me fat is like calling me blonde lmao. Yeah! What about it? I'm fat. I'm trying to be healthy, not skinny. If you love your body, you should be so proud! But if you don't, it's ok to just not hate it.

Some fat people are perfectly healthy, and being fat doesn’t have negative effects on their health. If it did have negative effects, it would be bad. But some people it wouldn’t affect then
@@spinelspinel9361 I’d say most of these people who are considered “fat” are actually perfectly healthy. There are a number of reasons why people gain weight that have little or nothing to do with poor eating habits and lack of exercise including: poor mental health, genetics, medication, aging, etc.
Some people like myself have conditions that can lead to weight gain regardless of whether or not you’re eating right.
Although I agree it is important to try and stay healthy, it is equally as important to consider other people’s situations.
@@maries6368 Oh yeah 100% percent agree with that. I might not have worded myself well (not my first language sorry). My mothers father and brothers are all naturally very big guys (like 195 cm and 115 kg) and built very brawny. I am also built like this as well as competing in Ukrainian powerlifting and have problems with weight in the past.

(tw//fatphobia)
tysm for covering this! fatphobia is honestly SO engrained in our society, no matter what we say. just last night, i saw a reel where a girl showed before and after photos being with her bf (she gained weight while with him), and the comments were… awful? so awful. stuff like “he should cheat to balance it out lowkey” and “naw you just let yourself go” and “he should leave you,” just awful.
People are so quick to attribute grossness, a lack of intelligence, a lower class bracket, and many more negative attributes to someone just because of their weight, it’s suffocating to just exist as a fat person sometimes. Anyways sorry abt the mini-rant, this just came out when the subject was on my mind!
Preferences, friend

I don’t really like Tess Holiday, but calling her a “whale” and making fun of her body is so rude. Not everyone wants to be thin or lose weight and that’s okay. Making fun of someone for being fat isn’t going to help anyone.
Most people despise her for promoting unhealthy lifestyle and obesity rather than being fat.
@@foreverrocks7989 "Most people despise her for promoting unhealthy lifestyle and obesity rather than being fat." No, that's just the excuse people give to make themselves feel better about fat shaming her. There's absolutely nothing wrong with her being a plus size model, and representing her/our body type, it's not "promoting an unhealthy lifestyle."
@@MiaRosenbloom It's not an excuse. It's a fact that she promotes obesity. She believe fat is fit and promotes it.
She is utterly shameless.
@@MiaRosenbloom she equates fatphobia to racism, homophobia, and transphobia. Fat people aren’t beaten or killed for being who they are. While society doesn’t treat plus-sized people well, we aren’t being beaten in the street or arrested for existing or murdered in cold blood. On top of that, she promotes eating whatever you want and still being “healthy”. You can’t eat greasy food all the time and be healthy, you just can’t.
As a kid, my family bullied and abused me for being overweight. Even when I was in sports, not fat, and just a more muscular build. They'd literally come up to me and tell me to "suck it in, everyone can see how fat you are." Because of this, I, at first, comfort ate because my mental health was so bad. But as I gained weight, I started having flashbacks of the abuse which lead to me not eating for a while. It became an obsession and I was diagnosed with anorexia. I lost about 50 lbs in about 2 months because I never ate or even drank much and would burn calories whenever I had the chance. I was hospitalized because I didn't eat for so long that my heart nearly gave out.
Once I was underweight, the same family that abused me for being overweight then tried to abuse me for being underweight. That shows me that at least some of the people who treat others like this do so out of jealousy and insecurity. They're insecure of their own bodies and get jealous of those who aren't insecure, despite being perceived by that person as "overweight, less desirable, ugly, etc."
I'm in recovery now and am no longer underweight, but the effects of my eating disorder on my mind and body are most likely permanent, or at least long lasting.
Please never feel like you have to do what I and many others have done. All I want for anyone is for them to do their best to be as healthy as they can manage. Forget about how you look and just focus on taking care of yourself. Everyone has limitations and I don't want anyone to force themselves past those limits for the sake of pleasing others and conforming to unrealistic standards.

Thank you for bringing attention to this. I am so disgusted every time I hear that someone was turned away from medical care/dismissed because of their size, only to find out later that they have something completely unrelated to weight that could've been treated. And like you said, even if it IS related to their weight (supposedly, but this is where health promoting behavior comes in as opposed to focusing on weight loss), it doesn't matter, they still deserve help. Our healthcare system is trash. Doctors prescribe diets to people in larger bodies, but they would treat someone who lives in a thinner body for an eating disorder if they did that same thing. Make it make sense. *You can have any eating disorder at any weight. Yes even AN. Calling it "atypical" is fatphobic and the DSM is outdated.*
I haven't had no much as a female exam in 15 years because a Dr convinced me Im a drain on the medical system. It's rough when I get an infection bc I can't get antibiotics. And I have a small lump in one of my breasts but I'm scared to be told I'm a waste. I have PCOS which makes it really hard not to be fat.
So glad I found your channel Samantha, I needed trans UA-camrs and you're my favorite.
my parents body shamed me so much that i have an eating disorder now. i haven’t eaten properly in months 🧍♀️
No offense to your parents, but I hate them already. Mine are similar. I hope you can find the help you need, and have a person to confide in, if not in your parents, maybe your friends or a good therapist

Trans issues and ED absolutely overlap. As a trans masculine person, I have a long history with ED as well. I think it’s a combination of dysphoria, stigma, bullying, and a whole host of mental health issues that tend to be higher among trans people. Anxiety, depression, etc.
I’m 14. For the longest time I have felt super sensitive about my body. I hate that I feel so bad about the way I look but with the way the media and even some social media is it’s so hard to avoid. I feel like I can’t even wear any swim suit that isn’t a one piece or high waisted because my stomach is probably the thing I’m most sensitive about and I hate the way it looks. Media like this is so hard to see. Yes, in a lot of ways we have gotten a lot better with praising bodies for how beautiful all of them are, but I feels impossible to just feel ok about the way you look when shit like this is being published.
like yes, i’m 12 and hate my body, that sounds so sad to type out like i’m really young, i’m on the “skinny part of midsize” kinda but no matter how much i try to like my body, being skinny skinny will always be the standard. also the praising bodies bit has gotten a lot better but it still has a lot to go. i’m very sorry about what you’ve experienced
Why is every comment a fucking paragraph. It’s like you people think everyone cares about you and people want to know about your lives
@@awesomemuscleman1153 lol if you dont care so much dont comment
Thank you so much for speaking out about this! I’ve been dealing with weight gain during the pandemic and gained a lot when I had to go on a medication for my chronic illness. None of my clothes fit anymore so I’ve had to buy a bunch of new clothes just to have something to wear. I was surprised that the simple act of getting clothes that actually fit boosted my self-esteem a ton. I tried on a new dress I got for myself and when I looked in the mirror I actual gasped and thought “I look like a goddess!” I haven’t viewed my body as “good” in a long time and it just felt so amazing to truly acknowledge that I can look great at any weight.
Can relate! I had no idea how important it was to have clothing that fits right and that i feel look cute, it did wanders for me!
OMG THAT TITLE CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD LMAO

Your makeup looks so beautiful!
Yes, being seriously fat is BAD. But thinking you are "fat" because you are 20 pounds over "ideal weight" is WORSE!
Be healthy, but reasonable.
Of course, being BAD in terms of health is not any sort of good/bad rating as a person. And fat is just one of the most obvious poor health conditions. Most unhealthy types can go unnoticed....
No, being "fat" isn't bad. It seems like you're equating health to weight and like Samatha said in the video, being fat doesn't mean you're unhealthy. It can lead to health problems, but that doesn't mean it always does.
overweight/obese you can be fat and healthy.
worst part = men body with some belly fat is considered as ‘dad bod’ but women that dont look like literal skeletons are considered as fat 😐
Ignore that and give yourself a free 20 pounds. After that, start to worry...
women are beautiful always. Men however should not have a belly. Dad bods are gross
hi samantha! firstly, i wanna say i LOVE your vids, as a trans girl myself, i find u very inspirational!
anyway, i have a vid idea for u- it might take a few weeks to do (im sorryyy) but basically theres this one trans character in a show called "supergirl," she has a really complex storyline starting from season 4 and ending at season 5. you dont have to do it ofc, im just a fan lol. i just think it'd be a good video, however you choose to do it.
once again, love ya!
It’s really nice to hear you talk about your history with struggling with your weight. It’s really easy to just label you as “one of the skinny trans girls” but honestly I shouldn’t have assumed you have always been that way and that you haven’t had those struggles and honestly it made me realize I need to do better and not assume shit.
I was bullied in elementary school for being fat to the point I had to change schools. in my new school I still got the occasional dumb comment about my weight. my own grandpa (rip) used to comment on my weight. none of that shit made me skinny, but it did enable my depression! (wasn't the only factor but certainly one of them)
don't comment on anyone's weight regardless of their body type. there are countless other ways to compliment other people's appearances.
Heck yeah new content from our queen
(As a 419lb person) being fat is unhealthy. It is not okay. It is a deadly condition that you need to deal with if you want a decent quality of life. What it does not do, is reflect on your morality or your value but this magazine isn't saying that it does. They are just making childish insults to snicker at. You are reading the harmful messages into those insults and you are taking them to heart. That is your flaw, you moral failing....that you are attaching self-worth to the imagined opinions of trolls who are talking about other people. That is bad, if you do that then don't read these trash magazines.
You’re not taking this video in the manner it was meant to. It’s the fact that most of these people were average and the manner of which they were judged, as well as the fact that bigger people tend to not be taken seriously or getting the proper help they need. No one is saying it’s healthy or okay.
Are you worried someone will think it's healthy to be 419lb if you don't remind them it isn't? People know being fat is not great for your health. Most people don't choose to be fat, there are circumstances often beyond their control, like trauma or health issues or environmental or financial factors. There may be a small percent of people who do want to get fat but that's.. negligible. The point is, most of these people they were harassing WEREN'T EVEN FAT. If you don't like these kinds of videos, don't watch them (:
Are you blaming people for having ED because of mass media pressure? Extreme victim blame, dud.
I started my first year of my BSC in kinesiology last year and I was initially grumpy that I had to buy the new edition of a textbook instead of borrowing my cousin’s old one. Turns out, I was actually pleasantly surprised by the in-depth chapter on obesity. It pretty much debunked all the fatphobic myths with scientific research. I’m not sure what the old textbook says but it’s for my physical activity and health course so there’s probably some messed up stuff from 2003 in there

Just a quick thanks 😊 🙏
I remember we had this brilliant English teacher at school who would often go off on random (in the context) rants. One day she was annoyed about a poster she’d seen advertising how to get a ‘bikini body’ and she said the perfect bikini body was a body wearing a bikini and that’s just really stuck with me.
you're really one of the kind hearted woman on this cursed planet 💖

When I used to swim I had really big thighs, I got stretch marks and my thighs would rub, it was all muscle but the internet convinced me I was fat. I’m also really tall and I grew tall at a young age so when people would be talking about weight my height and muscle mass made me almost twice the weight of my friends. I was healthy. I wish I could go back to that. Now I’m unhealthy and underweight. And yet anyone I mention it to tells me their jealous and they ‘wish they were as skinny’ as me. It hurts.
I have experienced weight discrimination multiple times throughout my life, that eventually even led to me developing a severe eating disorder. Both situations I'm going to mention are related to a chronic illness I have and how people don't take me seriously purely based on my weight. The first one was very traumatic in regards to my self-esteem as a teenager..
When I was 13 years old I was only just diagnosed with my thyroid disease, I likely had it since I was around 11 years old, in those 2 years I had gained a lot of weight because of it and was overweight. This disease in combination with another disease I was suffering from at the time made it that I wasn't able to attend school on a regular basis. On top of that came all the bullying, my instable home life and the fact that I have ADHD though this wasn't known at the time.
In my country there are consequences for kids that miss school, there is a local civil servant that is assigned to make sure kids go to school. This woman judged me and my family from the start, she refused to believe that I wasn't able to go to school due to disease and eventually send me to court (so I could be punished for not attending school). My parents brought all my medical files and the judge read her report on me. In her report she stated: "She is too fat and lazy to go to school" and never made mention of my illnesses. The case thankfully got thrown out and the judge gave her a slap on the wrist. But that little line in her report stayed with me for years.
The second time happened when I was just turning 18 and was applying for disability benefits, I had dropped out of school because of physical and mental illness and found I was unable to work like normal. The person handling my case told me I seemed like a 'lovely capable young lady' and mentioned that 'being too fat to work' is not a reason to be on disability, he didn't look over my medical files and dismissed my request instantly. This man judged my level of disability and (in)ability to work solely on my appearance and character rather than my medical history.
Obviously all of this greatly affected how I've been functioning up until now, I'm still unable to work and I'm on benefits now with at least an exemption due to my illness (something not recognized by the other department).
I suffered from severe bulimia starting at around age 20 and have been recovering since about 3 years ago (I'm turning 28).
People don't realize how much weight stigma and discrimination ACTUALLY can affect your life.
I was literally about to buy diet pills, thank you for making this, I feel a little better now.
Don't buy diet pills please most of them don't work anyway nobody should need diet pills to stay at a healthy weight
I used to look at the Enquierer at the doctor's office, laundromat, the checkout line in the grocery store and I never realized how fatphobic/racist they were 0:19
hey all! I'm really proud of all of you, y'know. you've made it through a whole lot, and you'll make it through even more, I know it. don't be afraid to reach out for help, drink loads of water, stay active if you can, and know that you're valid and loved.
i hate when people say that people who have EDs are fatphobic :(
You are.absolutely correct on physicians' bias on overweight patients. Even if it's 20lbs overweight. "All your problems are related to your weight. Go lose it and then see if you're still urinating blood." 🙃
The national enquirer are trolls who live in their mom's basement is their life and the magazine shouldn't forget that I hate trolls they always will pop off at the mouth it's a never you and others is the reason we love you because you stand up to those trolls you keep finding the good fight sister
I agree with all you said except that being obese IS unhealthy. But I don't think we should use health as a source of shame or bring it up with people who we don't know personally because it is none of our business. And we should have empathy for food addiction just like other addictions. But no, I'm not going to stop myself from kindly encouraging my father to lose weight so that he can get healthier and hop on the bandwagon believing that being obese is not unhealthy because it is.
I am over weight and I know it, but I also know that I'm like this due to medical issues. My own parents, before we found out about my medical issues, would tell me if I lost weight I wouldn't hurt so much, If I lost weight my period would be more regular, etc.
I don't want my period but I still struggle with my own body image. Rather that be me seeing others who are skinnier than myself wearing clothes I love or just feeling disgusted by my body in other ways.
(I came out as trans in January so I know that's part of my issue.)
Im 50 seconds in and im mad at a team of people already 👌🏻
I had to diet on a constant. To be thin or simply not eat. And i still got comments on my weight (mind u I could see my own ribs). Nowadays i'm over it i simply don't care what people think of me. Don't change for others ever 🤩 I love Samantha for adressing this😇

I'm really glad you're talking about this, not all fat people are unhealthy and not all thin people are healthy.
Also just wanna say there are eating disorders that some people suffer with that can cause you to put on weight as well, like binge-eating disorder (it is a mental health issue that needs to be recognized as it is just as harmful as anorexia)
Depends how fat you're talking about...over a certain weight, ALL fat people ARE unhealthy.

I can't. You're a sweet girl but you are so wrong on this. Tess is at least morbidly obese. You and all of your subscribers know that this is unhealthy, not hot. It's one thing to support women of all shapes and sizes letting them know that they are beautiful and worthy of love. But not being this unhealthy. Do you think poor Eugenia Cooney is healthy and beautiful? No, you don't. You know better. You're not helping Tess. You're supporting her mental illnesses and her own hatred of her own body and self. Rethink your position. You would be on my case for smoking, calling me disgusting and unhealthy. What's really the difference.
I didn't know that mag still existed.
I don't know if you've seen the new torture device that was used for "research" and approved, in New Zealand. Also tw, for anyone that searches it. When I saw it, I had a panic attack. So yeah, all of those thoughts of "it's literally better to be sick, have an ED, destroy your mental health and body health, than to simply have fat" is very alive and thriving in medical communities. I always dread going to the doctor for anything because I know whatever I have, whether it's a cold or a broken finger, they will blame it on my weight, they will form their opinion the moment they set eyes on me and never investigate any further. It's funny how no doctor just assumes a skinny person has an ED or takes dangerous medicine to look like that without even talking to them, but all of them assume you have ED and are lazy and out of control and so on, before you even introduce yourself if you are fat. Also there are things that are even more horrendous, like literal entire countries that still reject immigrants and punish your health insurance based on BMI (which has already been largely disproved as measure of health anyway). Also to anyone still reading, I'd tell you to go watch Maddie Dragsbaek here on YT, if you want to learn more about fatphobia, and how to love yourself, among other things.
As a fat person, Sam I love you so much for this
I was diagnosed with diabetes more than a year ago but only began to receive proper care because it was assumed that I was a type 2 diabetic. Turns out I’m a type 1 diabetic and I legit almost died before I finally sought help. The doctors kept telling me to eat better and then my diabetes would get better but I legit could only keep my sugars low by having an EXTREME low carb diet. I thought it was my fault and I have mental issues, okay. When I was initially diagnosed I was in the hospital for mental issues. I felt like it was something wrong with me. Eventually I became depressed, for other reasons but my perceived failure with my diet did contribute, and ended up eating how I wanted. Some days not at all, other days- a lot. And when I went to a different doctor cause it felt like I was on my death bed- she ordered a test which showed that I am a type 1 diabetic. It pisses me off that I didn’t receive proper care for a YEAR because the doctors that initially diagnosed me made assumptions on my diagnosis because of my weight. Cause literally, whenever I would talk about my diet with the doctors before my current one- they didn’t believe me when I told them my diet and had a general air of like- looking down on me for not doing better. It was a horrible experience.
The only time I have a problem with body shapes is when it is literally going to kill you
Other than that, I don’t care how you’re shaped I just wanna get my food
Yeah often some of these people aren't even that fat but yet they are still seen as ugly (this is especially seen with women) often this stigma can lead to eat disorders wich can make the person ill.
I am NOT a very thin person, and I never have been, so I’m pretty much used to the criticism, but that doesn’t mean it’s ok. When I was in *5th Grade* a guy walked up to me and said “How do you become your weight? Do you just eat Taco Bell everyday?” Mind you, I was in *5th Grade*, after that people started to slowly make fun of me, with the insults mostly being about me “only eating McDonald’s” or about how I was “unhealthy” and that I had diabetes. At that time I was a child, I didn’t know that they were wrong, so eventually I started eating less, luckily I never developed an eating disorder (mostly because my parents would make me eat and I was a child) but that doesn’t mean it’s ok. The criticism never stopped, but I just learned to ignore it. Please don’t bully others.

Being extremely obese is a health risk. There's a lot of studies proving that. But honestly that's something that's between the obese person and their doctor. Negatively commenting on other people's weight is so inappropriate no matter how much that person weighs. This magazine is messed up.
I’m fat and a bad person those things are separate 😂
But I also want to add that my long term family physician has brushed off my reproductive health because I’m fat. I know that I need to go to an actual gynecologist but even my mother is not worried because I’m just fat and the physician said I was just fat.
i personally been told my body isnt ok and im ugly bc of it. this lady my grandpa dated verbally abused me bc of my weight and my grandpa didnt care enough to noticed. i developed an eatting disorder and still struggle with it. my grandpa isnt much help at all he pick and poke fun at me too. i been trying to educate him not to do those sort of things, but he won't stop. even his friend did it once and i told my grandpa that wasnt ok. he said that he didnt mean to be mean and was just joking around. im done with the media and ppl trying to decide what pretty is. i was only 14 when i started to developed my eating disorder and im 16 now. im happy then i've been in years. yes, i am a little overweight for my size but idfc. im happy for being me and staying true the person i am.
all of my friends. ALL OF THEM. even if they don't have an ed, they have all thought of themselves as less than because of their body.
What if being overweight is a danger to a workplace? Who wants to take on an unhealthy person? Sometimes discrimination is the safest way to go, the word discrimination has had a bad rap when it is important to human nature for many reasons, being overweight comes with many health problems overtime and would be detrimental to business.

8:34, The piece about constantly analyzing yourself and what others think about you is just so relatable. This is what these corrupt "beach body" ideas do to us. I'm always scared to put on a swimsuit, and am constantly trying to hide my body shape for fear of being perceived as fat or unhealthy by my classmates and friends. Thank you so much for making this video, it influenced me so much and it makes me feel seen and heard important. So thank you so so much, this really made my day. 🤗🤗🤗
Why not have the authors of "The Enquirer" share their beach photos? How many of them are fat free, wrinkle free and tanned to perfection?
I so understand the taking shirt off in school for gym, scoliosis check, anything like that. I didn’t understand why way back then but I figured it out about 15 years ago. And I also have serious issues with even taking my shirt off for doctors.
Thank you, Samantha.
I went through puberty at 9-10 years old. I was a 10 year old kid who was 5'2" and wearing a bra, wandering about with hips and getting told "nice legs" by ADULT MEN. I got my first job at 15 and was harassed by co-workers and hit on by ADULT MALE customers. And then I was groomed and abused by a 28-year-old man. So at 16--these were the geocities days--I had the thought: nobody pays attention to fat women. Nobody likes fat women. So I started to put on weight.
The problem is, I have PCOS. So I could put the weight on really easily, but I couldn't get rid of it just by trying to eat more veggies and fewer cookies and get some exercise in. This eventually lead me to *starving myself*. I finally lost weight. I was being praised for it, of course, including by doctors, and they didn't really pay attention to the fact that at best I was eating 500 calories a day. I was losing weight; that's what mattered.
Throughout my 20s, I starved myself and abused laxatives. Any time I would lose weight, people treated me better. But I was still carrying 20 extra pounds, and any time I would see a doctor, they would blame my problems on my weight, including *all the symptoms of PCOS that I had*.
At 32, I found a new doctor. I cried in his office about the PCOS symptoms. He ran zero tests, not even an ultrasound. He just started treating me it, which helped. But by then, the damage done by a decade of eating disorders.
Anyhow, I'm gonna end on this: by treating me like shit for being overweight, you're not gonna make me magically skinny. You're just gonna make me bake and eat more cookies. No matter how much you hate me for taking up a little bit of extra space in the world--trust me, I hate me even more. I will never not hate myself for having a big butt and flabby arms and a round tummy. I know it makes me grotesque and unlovable and horrible. *I know.* I know you hate me. *I hate me more than you ever possibly could.*
(I do not, however, hate any other overweight people, and if you're happy, you should be happy, and nobody should treat you like garbage. I wish I could just make it so everyone treated me like some sort of monster and left the rest of y'all the heck alone.)
