I don’t do tiktok but I’m on Instagram, Im sure there will be a big ass battle in the comments today! Join the festivities 🎉 instagram.com/michelle_mcdaniel/
body positivity was originally meant for people with skin conditions or scars or birth defects etc, and not for morbidly obese ppl saying being 400+lbs is okay
Tbh I briefly joined in it's beginning stages as a recovering anorexic, just posting unedited photos of me posing because a huge reason as to why I developed an ED was due to heavily photoshopped/edited photos. I wanted people to see that hey it's okay if you have rolls when you sit/a weird pouch because that's your organs lol. I dipped out pretty quick though once I saw how toxic it was becoming
the body positivity movement is for everyone/all body types. not just deformities, it’s also very much about weight. but you right in that it’s not supposed to be glorifying unhealthy lifestyle.
Amen i have a chronic skin condition that leaves scars and huge red patches on my body and when im not in a reaction stage my skin has bleached looking patches where my red splotches were and tanning makes it stand out more because those parts of my skin cant tan for some reason i thought it was eczema but they couldn't figure out wjat it was to be exact they marked it to a mix of auto immune disorder and vitiligo and i hid my skin so long the body positive movement was orginally for that not an excuse for obesity
It was about weight too, but it was supposed to be more of "you can feel beautiful at any size/don't hate yourself," but people have turned it into pretending that being obese is healthy.
And also for the people who don't have the beauty standart body of have extra skin or are unable to have a thigh gap or are like just a bit overweight or a normal weight but look chubby
I can’t believe someone said making your kid eat healthy food is a form of child abuse. However I DO think causing your kid to be obese by over feeding/only eating junk IS child abuse/neglect!
@@daniellehowell4339 most often it’s about poor understanding of nutrition, I grew up poor but my mother fed me a pretty good diet. Twinkies and white bread aren’t much cheaper than fruits and wheat. There’s definitely an economic component to it but it’s not directly money, imo it’s more so people who are in poverty from laziness being lazy about their child’s health as well.
I'm overweight. Do I feel pretty when I dress up? Yes. Does it delete the fact that I need to continue loose weight? Nope. So yeah, you can feel good about looking good. But you still should work on yourself.
Wishing all the best on your journey, always remember that you CAN do it, even when it gets tough. You have the right mindset, of course you can like how you look being overweight but it’s always good to remember that change needs to come (even if it’s slowly but surely)
I 👏 love 👏 this 👏 Because I had to let go of this guilt every time I got dressed up. I felt if I wasn’t a certain size, I should only be wearing loose clothing and things that don’t show ANYTHING off. I had to realize I can look/feel cute while also working to lose fat and gain muscle.
As a 6"2 guy that went from 300+ lbs to now 235 ish....I can thoroughly say there's is nothing positive about being 300+ lbs...there's a difference between self love and defending unhealthy habits
Same kind of. I was always 115-125 my whole life but never had healthy eating habits. I LOVED fast food. I had a quick metabolism when I was young so it never affected me. Had my son and continued my habits and gained 100 pounds… I HATED it! At 33 I was told I was prediabetic, high cholesterol and high blood pressure.. had to be on medication. I got scared when my blood pressure was causing physical symptoms, went to the ER. The next day I started walking 3,000 steps, turned into 5,000 , 10,000. Then I started working out every other day. Now I cannot stop working out because of the mental strength and physically feeling great. Changed my diet completely. To make sure I don’t give up, I do give myself a day a week where I can choose something that’s not in my usual diet I use to love… it’s been 7 months and I’ve lost 70 pounds!
When I was 13, I weighed 275lbs/124kg/19stone, I am 5'8 or 68in. I dislocated my knee and didn't realize how bad my obesity was until I couldn't bear weight on the injured leg after surgery, so I had to relearn how to walk basically. I ended up losing a lot of weight because I didn't like constantly asking my mom to get me food when I typically would get it so I wasn't overeating. When I recovered I started paying attention to my calorie intake and completely stopped drinking juice (I never liked soda so none of it either), and do home exercise for 30 minutes everyday. I am now 15 and I turn 16 in September and I weigh 203lb/14stone/93kg. My mom still buys unhealthy foods and the kitchen practically hasn't changed since I was my original size 3 years ago but, I still lost 72 pounds, I don't go to the gym or have any equipment, I am living proof the mind is what counts, I'm hoping to be 180lbs/81kg/12stone by my birthday.
I’m obese, and I LOVE your channel!! A lot of people cannot handle the truth. I am not offended because I know that obesity affects your health first hand. After being diagnosed with diabetes, I have started eating healthier and being more active. Thank you for inspiring me. 🥰❤️🤟🏻
The smaller piece of cake thing...It's literally like shaming sober people or non alcoholics for wanting a smaller glass of wine. Have fun destroying your life but don't come after me for taking care of myself.
@@KnightlyScarlet yup. I'm intolerant to wheat and I have family members who accused me of having an eating disorder because I didn't have dessert.. Because I didn't want three days of constipation/diarrhea. So that happens.
I started watching you at the height of my ED, and it's because of you that I turned to healthy eating and exercise, and not being afraid of eating more than 1000 calories. I watched your videos to trigger myself, but you did the exact opposite. I think your videos draw the attention of people with ED's because they think it will help trigger them, but you end up informing and encouraging on the benefits of healthy eating and exercise using positivity, comedy, and personal experience. Thank you.
Same with me! I'd eat under 300 cals a day then have a HUGE binge once a week and purge it. Now I'm eating 1000-1200 cals a day no purge only binged 2x in recovery and better then ever!
Absolutely agree! For me I started watching her during wrestling season, when i was overweight and I ate only 500 calories a day. I lost 30 pounds then gained it all back. I now eat 1600 a day, and am back to losing weight, but in a healthy way
Omg same, I've almost completely stopped binging now and eat healthy, nourishing meals without feeling as guilty for eating a normal amount of calories !!
I went through her page and she’s literally shaming skinny people for speaking about their experiences about being body shamed and said their struggles aren’t valid because “fat people have it worse”
Yk what’s crazy your thoughts aren’t offensive at all it’s just the title of the videos that are offensive the videos themselves are just straight up common sense
If you go deeper though into that, people get so offended by a thought or opinion some one else has and don’t even listen to their thoughts which are not even offensive most of the time if you read or listen to people’s actual thought process 🤷🏼♀️
Honestly this x10000000. “I wanna eat what I want when I want however I want” but when they see someone who has order and control in their lives, something that’s very hard to do, they try to belittle to make themselves feel better
@@CrazyVideosLater it is about self discipline and control. but the result is totally worth it. I'm still doing intermittent Fasting, HIIT exercise, cutting my sugar & dairy intake, drink a lot of water, it's not easy but I'm doing it for my own good, no more headache and bloating tummy ❤️❤️❤️
Also, as a fat girl, I hate when my timeline is full of "you're blessed with seeing my fat body" while they're squeezed into 5 sizes way too small. And we're still talking a size 24. Buy your size if you're so proud of it. Tbf, if anyone else wrote the caption "you're blessed by seeing me" I'd be peeved.
She makes me want to go to her page to tell her how wrong she is but then i remember we aren't that type of cult so we just laugh at her in the comment section and reading the comments is life
Im so over the "you HATE fat people" line from these undercover narcissists! It takes energy to HATE someone or a type of person, please don't flatter yourself into thinking you are that important to strangers. We simply don't agree with the bs the fat positive community spews. Anyway, new sub here, sending love from Portland OR.!
Me 5 weeks ago: this woman is so rude, how dare she attack us fatties... hate binges Michelle’s videos Present day: down 16 pounds! 29 to go 🥳 thank you Michelle!!! ❤️
dude Michelle please call out more people like this, its so annoying to watch someone just act so prideful that theyre right, when in fact, they are the ones lacking information. Its beyond sad.
at this point I am fat phobic. I am 100% fat phobic but not to overweight people, but ONLY to people in the body positive fat positive movement. those that refuse to accept reality and live in denial and self pity. I know for a fact I would never be friends with them because we have no lifestyle choices in common, they’re always narcissistic and complaining, blaming other people, doing nothing to better themselves. Like I’m sorry it’s equivalent to being friends with a heroin addict, I don’t want that type of energy around me. at all.
She doesn't look very comfortable or confident when she's sitting there in her underwear. She looks like she feels very exposed. And almost like she feels like she needs to do that to prove herself.
That's what I thought too. And when she adjusted her bra I definitely noticed that. Key move in trying to hide fat rolls in a bra like that is to pull it down or constantly adjust it. Body language stays stating the truth.
@@jasperdraca it all just felt super forced. Sometimes you gotta fake it til ya make it. She has every right to feel beautiful big or small but I know so well the change in confidence I have being a heathly weight as opposed to when I put on weight. Cameras are your biggest enemy when you don't feel good in you body and I felt that she wasn't comfortable at all and over adjusting her posture and bra just to feel better
@@sewerwitxh yeah. I can sympathize with that feeling. I have issues with certain parts of my body and will refuse to have my picture taken if that part of my body will be included. That said, I will give her props for the vocal aspect of that clip though. Zero hesitation and an firm tone of voice. I've noticed that uncertainty (aka fear), is one of the hardest things to keep out of your voice.
@@jasperdraca I'm the same way with pictures. I put on some weight during covid and haven't taken but one selfie since then from gaining weight when everything shut down. But that's also why I love Michelle's videos cause sometimes I lose motivation on doing better and she brings it righf back
“A cake related fat phobic incident.” I can’t believe we live in a time when that is being said outside of a comedy sketch. I don’t understand how anyone takes these so called “activists” seriously.
She wants to bully people about not being body positive but you can literally tell she is uncomfortable sitting there in her underwear. She used her bra to COVER a fat roll. (I am 280lbs and currently on a weight loss journey) i think I’m right in saying when we are uncomfortable or feel self-conscious about our body we try to cover it with clothes! I do it! You’ve probably done/do it!
I just wrote this! It’s because she adores and looks up to these fking morons that envourage these young fat girls to do and saying things that make them look ridiculous all while they profit off them. She’s clearly not comfortable sitting there in her bra and underwear, like most normal people would be in front of a camera….just silly, all of this mess is just silly and unnecessary
I love the fact that since i discovered this channel, my love for binge-eating when stressed out is gone. I prefer to get more active, do workouts, clean my whole home everytime i feel badmood or bored. Michelle is very smart, i love the way she talks about how important to understand what self-acceptance is correctly. She is also my motivation to stick to my healthy routine. Keep going, girl!
@@LexxieDivinei plan out my food portions and snacks into baggies so that i dont binge eat. for example: i just got my favorite snack which is xtra cheddar goldfish, and its easy to sit and eat the whole bag, but i break the bag up into smaller bags so that i dont binge
Who else came to her channel, tried to be offended, couldn't be offended. Then decided you were done making excuses and were gonna change your life and body for the better? I started out at 195 and am down to 188 and still going! (Healthily of course) So thanks Michelle!
Losing weight is difficult. Admitting to myself that I have a problem and I need help is difficult. But it can be done. From 370lbs, I am now down to 300lbs. Coping up with the loss of my mother and my troubled past is extremely hard. Fear, shame, grief. I fully understand that I need to deal with these trapped emotions. I stopped making excuses. I committed to being mentally strong, keep doing it and never giving up. It's gonna be a long journey I know but I am very appreciative of all the help and the support and constructive criticisms. Michelle is a gem. Thank you for everything that you do for us. *** Such kind words from all of you. 😍 Thank you so much for your encouragement. God bless your hearts. I will always read your comments to keep me going. I'm rooting for all of you too. ❤❤❤ Update: I posted this 4 months ago. I now weigh 268 lbs
I gained 120 pounds during my pregnancy and became obese. I’ve since lost 70 of it but am still overweight. And I hecking LOVE your videos. I felt beautiful when I was pregnant, after I gave birth, now, and will when I get off the rest of the weight. I also developed breathing issues, joint pain, and high blood pressure when I was at my heaviest weight. You can love yourself AND at the same time, get closer to health by taking care of your weight.
"Some people just can't lose weight" drives me insane. My daughter has PCOS with the added complication of a physical disability and genuinely struggled to lose weight. She tried EVERYTHING, it was heartbreaking, her confidence was at rock bottom. Instead of throwing in the towel, she kept trying until something worked. She's now living in ketosis, lost 5st/BMI 23, and is actively managing not only her weight but her symptoms. You CAN lose weight, even with health complications, you just have to stick to it.
Okay no. Not everyones body even with the same conditions are the same. There's a way to be healthy but that doesn't mean everyone is going to appear thin. My mother who is hypothyroid has tried to lose weight all my life. I'm nearly 24, I've never seen her not trying to lose weight, she's worked with personal trainers, she's been on multiple different medications to manage the fact she has no fucking thyroid. What works for one person doesn't always work for another. This comment is so fucking ableist lmao Like I'm so proud for your daughter but fuck off with the whole toxic disability porn.
i always say this, its so rare that someone will be unable to loose weight once the health problem is sorted not just eat right blah blah but maybe trying different medications and looking for more underlying health issues. saying sat isnt healthy doesnt really mean fat=bad health all the time, its often bad health=fat=bad health. its important to make sure people dont loose it to fast either, ive lost 110ish lbs everyone said i looked nice or was a drug addict, the doctors kept saying i had an eating disorder which influenced me developing disordered eating and then i had a 18inch precancerous tumor in my left felopian tube i had it removed as it was starting to grow into my bowels and ive been boucing around 100-108lb since 2018 and down to mid 90s depending on how much i eat... i miss having big titties though :(
I'm hypothyroid with a variety of other issues I'm digging into it. It's so hard to lose weight. Impossible? Not at all. Just very hard. If you're determined you'll find a way.
As an overweight male, even I think this whole body positivity the is stupid. Yes it's unhealthy and no we should not be all "Yay this is cool." I suffer a whole lot of laziness and that's my fault. It's our fault. I don't know why these people got to say it's good to be fat when it's not. And I bet you they don't even know that you went through losing weight as well. Or they do know and are just jealous because they can't lose the weight. I understand not having the willpower to stop eating. But don't go out there and see it's healthy. Have an awesome day everybody and Aloha from Oahu Hawaii. ❤️🤙
ikr!!! i really don't like how people messed up #bodypositivity. it's supposed to be about any sort of person loving themselves and their bodies (yes, even conventionally attractive people), and kindly encouraging unhealthy people to have their journey of losing/gaining weight for health fueled by self-love, you know?
The worst part of the body positivity movement seems to be that they exclude men. They don't seem to think it's okay when men are overweight. It's very odd.
Its how they "deal" with it, I think they feel ashamed about the laziness and gluttony, but its not shameful those are very understandable human traits, and they can be changed if you work at it, even just 30mins of exercise a day even just starting with that 30mins being a walk, and that means just walking out for 15mins and then turning around and going back home, and the overeating can really be helped if you cut fatty sauces and etc and add low calorie density foods that you can add to meals in large amounts without adding much calories like celery zucchini potato and winter squash (are my favourites) and fruit for breakfast is a good tip too, I eat frozen fruit blended with lowfat yoghurt with artificial sweetener added and its pretty much like having ice cream for breakfast except healthy. Good luck my friend ♡
Person one i thought body positivity was originally about loving what couldnt be changed, like you have bad acne and feel suicidal, body positivity, which translated to not everyone is going to be anorexic sticks to be beautiful because regular sized people are beautiful, or people starving themselves because they hate themselves so are punishing themselves, which then morphed into people who cant see their beauty and are destroyed thinking they need surgery and its never enough what is that dismorphia? I never thought it was just about people over normal size. I think the whole thing got hijacked. Like cultural appropriation got hijacked, used to be it was about for example china claiming Pansori is Chinese when the world unesco organisation named it Korean world heritage. Its not supposed to be used by people offended that someone bought a cheap Chinese style dress and wore it to their prom because she thought it absolutely beautiful and she could afford it on her part time job.
@@carolday3381 I think body positivity used to also be about people who were missing limbs, or burned/ disfigured, something like that, and accepting themselves.
The Fat Positivity movement is the biggest ED enabler. As someone with AN I have never seen so many people lying and supporting delusions to continue an ED. It's actually scary and sad how this could develop and thrive so much
I'm a fat woman I am working on not being fat with my doctors and a nutrionist. I have many medical diagnosis that make it more difficult but you won't hear me cry "it's to hard for me to lose weight" my health and lifespan are at stake. I will never buy into the body positivity movement, being healthy is not being obese or overweight. There is a point where your size hinders your beauty because you've shown no consideration for your own well being. Caring about yourself is beautiful.
You know what annoys me about Virgie Tovar? I had gastroparesis for almost a year and I'm finally getting over it. Because of the gastroparesis, I couldn't eat large meals, I had to eat a lot of small ones. I would of asked for the smaller piece of cake because I'd want to enjoy it and not have it sit in my stomach all night. But no, I'd be considered "fatphobic". I honestly can't stand people like her.
That's a good reason. But even if you you had another reason, like watching your calorie intake, it would be fine. Your making choices for your own body. It's none of her business.
I'm sorry to hear that! I hope you are doing better. You don't owe any one any reason why you want to eat less. Some people just don't like cake that much! Who cares if they ask for less? It's such a weird thing to get mad about.
I’m in the same boat! I have gastro issues and can’t eat many large meals or I feel very sick. I’m learning how to portion my meals so I don’t stress my stomach! This comment made me feel good about what I’m going through and gives me hope to get over it as well! I wish you love and luck!
What about us people who just don't actually like cake that much? For someone who says food has no "moral value", Virgie certainly moralises about the dietary choices of others.
@@abbyz13 its so not fair. You can’t change the way your body is because you need a back brace yet these fatties can. It’s disgusting that someone such as yourself will never be in the forefront of this movement because these girls are too insecure to admit they hate being overweight
Exactly how I feel. I would’ve loved to see a truly body positive movement with models with these sort of conditions in ads or on runways. Hell, even just promoting people with various healthy body shapes or less cookie cutter facial features would be better than this bs. What’s the point of having a bunch of fat ass models that would uphold the exact same beauty standards they claim to hate if they lost some pounds? That’s not accomplishing shit.
Fun fact: the person in the comments was complaining about watching Michelle at the height of their eating disorder Meanwhile I, a girl with anorexia nervosa, watch her channel to motivate myself to be healthy and get over my ed. Edit: thank you so much for the positive comments, it really motivates me a lot 💖💖💖💖
I don’t believe the person who said that for one second. It’s just a lie to make Michelle look toxic as possible to people that won’t actually fact-check.
People saying you gave them ED🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️you are the top influencer that helped me get over my bulimia and helped me stop binge eat and starve and/or throw up... thank you!
Brooklyn is literally the poster child of ignorant. These obese people that are trying to play it off as “healthy” because they don’t wanna do the work. I bet they’d shut up if they got thin, and they’d want to stay that way. I’m a thick girl. I have thyroid disease. I still managed to drop 15 lbs and it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but I got off my ass and did it. Brooklyn should take notes. These obesity promoting morons are fkn harmful to society.
She should buy the "Jumping to Conclusions" mat. Plus, the proceeds would go to a poor, unfortunate man who was laid off and immediately got hit buy a car.
GIRL I just wanted to say you're a true inspiration to me. I'm on my own weight loss journey, from 306 pounds to 250 and still going to be a muscular goddess like you in the future, and your videos really motivates me to keep pushing and not ever make excuses because I know I can do better and I WILL. Anyone's capable of taking care of their health, period. It might be harder for some, they might need more help than others, but using this as an excuse to do absolutely nothing while attacking others and spreading misinformation to appease their own need for self validation is just a waste of everyone's time and energy. Sure, I don't agree with absolutely EVERYTHING you say, but that's the whole thing about being different people, we're bound to have different opinions. That's what makes hearing other opinions so important, so we can ✨learn and grow✨ even if we don't agree with them. Those people spewing hate for no reason with no research at all can get a Frank's kiss to chill. Your videos are full of truths and tough love that I absolutely needed to hear and I'm forever grateful I found you. Lots of love
I hate the "I'm a 10 and so are you" type of body positivity. They think they're doing something but they're still reinforcing the idea that beauty is the most important thing, just expanding who has access to it. Which doesn't make sense, because if everyone is beautiful/any other superlative trait then nobody is?
Truth. I'm not a ten. Most people are a five. But with hard work and a good outlook on life you can become more attractive to people. Get in shape, look after yourself, read a book. Find confidence in your flaws. Fuck the 'you're perfect queen/king, you don't need to change' mentality. Animals don't need to change. Humans are blessed with a cognitive ability of self assessment. We are like malleable clay and can be better than we were every day.
I think the thing that helped me most was just being like "Yeah, there are things I don't like about myself but I'm not going to let that make me feel bad". I'm not perfect and saying I am while not believing it would just make me feel awful.
Update: Her main has been banned , she has a second account where she cries about "it being so unfair tiktok bans fat people for being fat" when we all know that she was banned cuz ppl from this video reported her for being an insecure liar. It's crazy she wont own up to what she did.
that's kinda weak that you all claim to hate snowflakes yet you removed a channel for judging michelle's content based on the thumbnails she uses to attract views.
@@disneytoysr4fun975 What's kinda weak is you not being able to tell the difference between a snowflake and people who rightfully took action to remove a harmful account from a social media platform. If nothing was done after Michelle posted this video then why would brooklyn even care? In fact if she faced no repercussions after this video she'd more than likely use it for her own gain and continue publicly and confidently voicing her toxic lies and opinions. Using your logic why should people be punished for their crimes? wouldn't that just show that the judicial system cares and are snowflakes themselves? It makes no sense.
What's crazy though is in a society that has an expectation of subsidized health care costs, when everyone is having their freedoms infringed upon to combat a pandemic whose severity has been artificially magnified due to it's disproportionately severe effects on overweight people, who are a disproportionately high percentage of our population, people do owe others good health.
As an overweight person, I appreciate the content on this channel. It's motivating knowing someone that had similar struggles as myself achieved their goals, it keeps me going when it gets hard to keep at it. I love the FACTS that are shared and the reminder of why I want to be healthy. If you're offended by the truth it's probably because it applies to you and doesn't put you in a positive light but you don't have the will power to make positive changes.
Same here. I'm a morbidly obese binge-eater and these videos help a lot to be more self-aware and get back on track when I'm relapsing. Thanks to her I realized how dangerous and toxic the body positivity movement is and she definitely does more good for people like us than this toxic community does
My ex-boyfriend was over 400 lb and he would complain that the only thing Michelle talked about was obesity when I would watch her. I was like, no, she actually talks about a lot of different stuff.
My husband thought the same way. He tried saying that she hates fat people until I explained that she doesn't hate fat people, just hates the mindset of "healthy at every size". Then I showed him the video about the Bang energy guy and he became a fan!
That’s actually one reason I’m losing weight again lol. I’ve been fat the last few years and I still can’t believe other fat chicks are trying to say being obese is healthy🤮. Feeling so much better already.
@@bri827 yeah it's kinda toxic cause it seems if you wanted to lose weight for your health reasons or whatever it's like you'll get attacked for wanting to confirm to societal standards. I gained almost up to 200 pounds last year cause of the pandemic and I have been working and losing slowly but surely. My health was struggling much more before I lost some weight.
The comment blaming Michelle for their ed… I had two ed through my life, binge eating and bulimia. Even tho I’ve been years not being bulimic I still binge eat, and Michelle (also obesetobeast) has been SO HELPFUL through my recovery and journey. When I wanted to lose weight I thought I had to eat so much less and only vegetables or chicken, I thought getting healthier depended on leaving everything back, it sounded so boring and stressful… But after discovering her channel I started to see that getting healthier was not even close to what I imagined and I actually started cooking and eating tastier and healthier meals. Also I found myself finding an exercise routine I liked and can do easily, and exercising made my mood change (for the best)
This is crazy. I'm fat. (Not proud and fat, just fat because life choices) and I don't feel triggered by you AT ALL. In fact I find your attitude way more helpful and healthy than the "fat acceptance" people. Basically I feel like you're the kind of person who would be friends with fat me but would 100 help me hold myself accountable if I wanted to change. Edit for spelling
People are sooo soft today being offended at the “ignorance” of true scientific facts that is basically common sense... A healthier body will promote a healthier mind, but I guess a delusional “safe space” security blanket is truly the answer 😆 instead of honest self accountability.
Honestly you destroyed her without even having to mention her physical appearance. Women like that have always been 1000% jealous, when I was extremely into fitness, other women would tell me that posting pictures of my abs (when I had them you know they’re difficult to maintain especially for women) was “fat phobic” and I should see how it feels to see someone better looking that me being proud of themselves and I literally said I had the right to be proud because I worked for it and when I see a hotter woman I congratulate her for working hard. It’s a mindset problem. (Seriously plus sized women can post whatever they want and show their rolls, but if it’s abs that is showing somehow it’s… fatphobic? Even though no one literally said anything about anyone being fat like tf???)
I relate to your comment. When I see a super fit woman it’s inspiring to me because these woman are the people who helped me learn proper habits and how to improve my body. It’s people like that who show you what’s possible.
As someone overweight who is currently on their weightloss journey I pity people who feel being overweight and unhealthy is okay. At age 20 sure maybe its fine but once you cross 30 and suddenly you have all these health problems, you realize why the doctor is always pushing you to lose weight. Fat shaming is not okay. Don't look disgusted because you think the appearance of a fat body is unappealing. Be disgusted because you know this person is being unhealthy and ailments are coming their way. When I see a fat person on the treadmill I think they are inspiring because they are making changes for a better life. When I see a fat person eating mcdonalds Im disappointed because there is no need to add any more fat to your body. Your body is well stored with fat. Its time to utilize those fat stores. Weight Loss isn't about looking pretty, its about being able to climb a flight of stairs without being breathless. Its about being able to run a lap without needing a pause. Your body is capable of great things don't let the fat hold you back. When I see a fit woman at the gym I am so impressed because I realize how much work it takes to build a body like that. Whenever I see fit people at the gym I think, "if I keep working hard, one day I can be just as fit".
You’re actually the only youtuber I can watch that’s helped me become healthier physically (and thus mentallly). You cut the BS but also acknowledge that it takes sacrifice and consistency to see results you want. Some videos I can’t watch bc they may trigger my BED tendencies but I’m grateful you and your platform exits.
First off, I'm HIGHLY offended that she thinks your channel is *only* about fat people when you have the best quality tea commentary for No-Neck Ed and 90 Day that can be found ☕🐸👑
While I see the point you were trying to make, diabetes is caused by your body being unable to process sugar, not being overweight, though the two can correlate.
@@dakota7651 it depends on the kind of diabetes. Type 1, or insulin dependent diabetics can not get rid of their diabetes, it’s an autoimmune disease, but type 2, or insulin resistant diabetes is heavily associated with obesity and can frequently be reversed by losing weight. My ex-girlfriend is a type 1 diabetic and has never been overweight, it’s genetic. Her mom is diabetic too.
@@dakota7651 diabetes is not only cause by that and there is more than one type ... the type your mentioning is type one but type 2 diabetes can happen from being obese... think you need to go back and do a little more research
@@kerianal9456 I'm aware of that, hence why I said it can happen due to being overweight and the two do correlate and not everyone who has diabetes is obese. speaking as someone who is currently having issues with my body processing glucose despite being at a normal weight. (:
You helped me lose over 100+ pounds Michelle. Thanks for "bullying" me into it ❤ your inspiration and EDUCATION got me on the right path. Its sad to see so many people still denying truth and ignoring the many resources of free help and education on weight.
"my thoughts will probably offend you" girl Im only offended bc you don't have more followers and likes, people need to hear the truth and stop being so sensitive. I literally started watching your channel a year ago (when I was 300 pounds @ 15) now I'm down 100 and can't wait to lose more. All thx to you! You are LITERALLY a life saver ❤️
Honestly, her comments has helped me with my own ED. As someone who struggles with under eating and over exercising, it is really encouraging to hear her say that you don’t need to be a size 2 to be healthy.
same here, I found her a couple months ago while I was struggling with an ed but she helped push me to recovery and nourishing my body rather than starving or binging.
Sameee, it's nice to be reassured that I don't need to be guilty about eating too much or miss my exercise schedule. And the way she is not super skinny and looking so good making me so much better ^^
I'm in the process of losing weight to get healthy and your channel has massively helped me ignore people saying stuff like losing weight is fatphobic, I've felt happier and have more energy since I started losing weight
She glossed over Trisha’s comments like “ok self-drag” - no Brooklyn! Do your part and drag her too. Wouldn’t Trisha’s comments cause more damage to the body positive community because her platform is significantly larger than Michelle’s? 🤔 keep that same energy ma’am 🤥
Ya know, I started watching this channel a few years back as a hate watcher but then I ended up taking your advice with a few other health youtubers I was hate watching and I started to lose. I started at 300lbs and my goal weight a few years ago was 185 before I gave up this tome decided I wanted to be between 120-130. I have now made it to the 180. My top went from a 3x to a medium and yesterday I was able to fit in a small shirt. My pants size was 2xl and is now an xl. I now weight less than my husband. My husband has clearly become way more attracted to me, I can walk, I can swim, I can play basketball with my 8 year old. I can walk my dogs. No longer sitting down while food shopping, I can breathe better, I feel better and because I worked on my weight problem and mental health together, My bipolar1 has been rediagnosed as BPD which is now well on its way to being put in remission, I have the new diagnosis of Autism. My depression that set off my binge eating Ed is gone which means I no longer binge. I did this all while, I was going through a break up from my fiance of 7 years, my back was broken with my ex didc 70lbs losy were with a broken back, my absuive narcissist mom was diagnosed with cancer and I had to take care of her and my daughter, going through a court case with my ex arrest, my mental health depeleted and I was having an autism related burnout which ment constant overstimulation, melt down and disacociation, the only person I had to help me was a stranger who I opened up to on the internet who took pity on me for whatever reason and supported me through this, he is now my husband. I crawled from the depths of hell and back multiple times and I won’t stop til I have that fit body I want. Hate watchers you can spout all the body positive shit you want, you can hate all these channels who are trying to help all you want, I’ve been you and I’ve used every excuse in the book, I had every excuse to go back and stuff my face but I did it through the worst physical, emotional and mental pain of my life. I know how hard it is to want to give up. I had a hard life, given up by a racist narcissisic family only to be adopted into a similar family with less racism, sexual assault victim 3 separate time by the time I was 14, no friends because I was bulled, my mom is crazy and saw me as her, mom, her siblings, her husband and her daughter and I had to go through every type of abuse from that. She gas lighted everyone around me and made me believe I was crazy up until I met my husband 3 years ago. That got me to no self esteem, 300lbs worthless and lost. I over came the odds and I’ve defeted every demon by alone up until I met my husband. These channels, the ones you hate, the ones you talk shit about, saved my life. I’d be Foodie beauty if I kept going. I have a child and I have a husband who keep me going so when I feel I can’t do it for myself, I keep going and do it for them. Cause I am that bitch.
I was never obese, always super skinny (in an unnatractive way that destroyed my self esteem growing up). It took me a few weeks going to the gym for the first time to clearly understand that 90% of this movement is made out of either lazy, weak, jealous, or just some incredibly innocent/clueless/detached people, and they actually consider their choice to play safe and never change unhealthy habits as superior, or sometimes _braver_ than someome who puts themselves on the line and struggles for a change
Okay but do you still have your thyroid Hun??? Or have you had a total thyroid removal. Because hypothyroid people without their fucking thyroid have no chance.
And yeah I will fucking call it out because I've spent nearly 24 years on this planet seeing my mum work fucking hard to try to lose weight , I've seen her work with personal trainers, I've seen her try all kinds of diets. I've seen her take different thyroid medication which don't work as effectively for her BECAUSE SHE HAS NO THYROID The body needs a fucking THYROID to help lose weight. My mum is still healthy though despite being chronically ill but it does fucking piss me off when people like you are so damn fucking ignorant.
Doctors are supposed to encourage people to be as healthy as they can be that’s their job lol. I swear these people fool themselves into thinking everyone is out to get them.
When someone talks like this, "Its like nobody owes you health, its like the most ignorant thing..... blah blah, its like, its like," for goodness sake, learn to speak properly! I absolutely love your attitude Michelle! I love to hear it and you are empowering. You are positive, you are strong. You are becoming one of my favourite UA-camrs 💖💗💟
I honestly found your channel because I was like "what the hell?!?", looking at the titles of your videos. But then I watched them and I was like, hard truth and entertaining, I'm here for that!
I love how she degrades you for hating fat people, but you're a trainer. You care enough for the health of others to help them achieve better for themselves. I'm overweight (clinically obese) and I've never once thought you hated anyone. I feel like the bopo/ haes communities hate people for their own agenda, and even hate each other to a degree. They always read into the dust cover, but never the actual book. It's pretty sad, but hopefully they will snap back to reality (ope, there goes gravity😆)
Also like...Michelle has experience here 😭 she speaks openly about loving crappy food in the past & it being why she’s so motivated to be healthy in every sense now. These ppl come at her online as if she’s been skinny forever and is just shaming them. The insecurity is rampant & they blame the wrong enemy every time lmao
as an insecure overweight person who struggles to lose weight but isnt really trying at the moment, i looove your videos lol. it makes me feel weird and self aware sometimes but i kind of like feeling uncomfortable. if i felt too secure about my weight i might just over eat and make excuses for it, so thank you for making me feel uncomfortable. lol. these people are just very insecure looking for someone else to put blame on besides themselves.
Well THIS fat person watches you daily for motivation to continue losing weight (46lbs and counting) so there! 😘 the cosplay as always! Bookmarking this vid to watch when I get home from my walk (3 miles today).
@@DianaLopezDlo Truthfully same. I have a trifecta of youtubers I credit with me coming to my senses about HAES and food addiction, and Michelle is one (the other two are John [ObesetoBeast] and Kiana Docherty). I watch their content regularly and often on repeat to remind myself why I'm doing what I'm doing and how important it is to my health, as well as to find ways to overcome my food addiction and binge urges. Knowledge is power and they have all taught me a so much useful info!
As a fat woman who is currently working towards gastric bypass, I find your channel entertaining! You're just stating facts and have been very inspirational! I found your channel through your TLC stuff, and have been binge watching since. Keep doing you girl! Body positivity is important, but so is keeping ones head on straight and realizing that the truth is the most important! It's also pretty funny that all these people in the body positivity movement... Are not very body positive to anyone outside their demographic. Not very positive now is it?
My husband's boss got that surgery. He wished he had never done that. When they do the surgery. And they bypass all of your intestines to your larger intestines. You actually become extremely nutrient deficient. Then if you have the skin surgery. Cuts off a lot of lymph nodes. And not to mention, again you're not getting your nutrients because you're missing a very important part of your intestinal tract breaking down your nutrients and absorbing them. His vitamin levels were so dangerously low. He had to eat every 2 hours. He had to take multiple supplements which truly wouldn't give him exactly what he needed. Please do it on your own. You're stronger than your food cravings. You're stronger than your candida triggering dopamine when you're feeding it exactly what it thrives off of. Or is a fungus stronger than you? Think about that. Good luck
Trisha Patays - 'Body Positive, eating whatever you want and then crying about it after but going on Instagram & saying your sexy even though you truly don't believe it.' #Shook 😂
Right? The one time I agree with Brooklyn D is when she said Trisha was self dragging. But I think in Trisha’s case they were speaking from experience so it was much easier to call out the mentality after living it. But the difference is that they don’t hide behind a facade of moral righteousness. They just own their struggles
I've just stumbled across your videos. You are a brutally honest woman, and I'm loving it! I'm obese with PCOS, BED, and depression (losing weight is extremely difficult but that's not gonna stop me from learning). There is a challenging tug-o-war between loving myself as I am now and the me I want to be (healthy and strong), and a lot of it goes down to my food. I'm happy you're talking about obesity. There's so much damage that happens to the body by being overweight, and nowadays there are a lot of people who don't want to hear the truth. For me, my first step is tackling my BED headon. Learn better habits, stay away from snack foods that I will overeat if I have them near, and put my health as my biggest priority. One day at a time. 🥰
You’re just trying to inform people that obesity isn’t healthy and trying to help people learn how to improve their health, you’re not doing anything wrong, she’s just mad because she doesn’t want to do what it takes to get healthy. Good Job Michelle, keep doing what you do... you look beautiful as usual btw
What I laugh at is, she said we should just leave Trisha alone because Trisha knows the truth about body positivity and isn't trying to spread misinformation... Like, why can't they all be like Trisha? XD Trisha is smarter than what she trolls people to believe.
@@antithoughtpolice7497 exactly Trisha is smarter than people give her credit for, but she literally ignored what Trisha said and went after Michelle... make it make sense
As a nursing student, everytime I see young people with obesity makes me so upset, because those patients die in early ages, and they die like in horrible ways, so... this body positivity thing is mentally and physically unhealthy u.u
@Kitty R why don't you get a life?? Insulting young people when you look like you have 45? You should be happy she cares about people's health unlike you.
@@hobihobi9595 just because she a nursing student doesn’t guarantee she cares about those people or health in general that profession is know to attract as mean awful be people that want to exert power over others as much as people who genuinely care and listen to their patients. It’s best you learn this now. I’ve been lucky enough to have good nurses but there’s a lot of horror stories out there about people in the medical profession neglecting/ abusing their patients
@@hobihobi9595 and young people are not above criticism just as much as older people. Young people get leeway because it’s expected that that they are naive because of a lack of life experience. Older people are expected to be mature of course, but life experience can shape and cement people’s view of the world so being flexible about change is difficult (but not impossible). Both deserve patience for growth. You’re probably very young but using someone’s age and looks isn’t the strong argument you think it is. Childhood obesity is concerning for many reasons but saying they die at early ages and in horrible ways is not true across the board. Many people that are “considered obese “ suffer medical discrimination and do not have their concerns taken seriously. They’re just told to lose weight as a cure all for all their issues… mean while they are there to get a tumor diagnosed and are completely ignored. This student can very well to contribute to that discrimination and actually cause real harm to people.
@@DiorLamour I understand your point. But if she commented that she was upset on people who don't take care of their health, she does care what's happening to people. If she wasn't interested in people's health why would she comment saying that's she's upset?
@@paintingdragons1828 it's ironic when you look at her replies to ppl calling her out on insta. At one point she says Michelle reeks of a superiority complex typical of ex fat ppl who've lost weight. But her saying she is a flawless 10 isn't reeking of superiority. Bit of a lack of self-awareness there imo. Thought of replying to her but then figured nah, she won't change her mind so no point arguing with her.

Have u ever thought about doing bad movies reviews ? I absolutely love this kinda content! I think you'd be great at it
Hey I'm really hoping to see a video from you on all your fav animes and why I'm just getting into them thanks ! Just a request
body positivity was originally meant for people with skin conditions or scars or birth defects etc, and not for morbidly obese ppl saying being 400+lbs is okay
Tbh I briefly joined in it's beginning stages as a recovering anorexic, just posting unedited photos of me posing because a huge reason as to why I developed an ED was due to heavily photoshopped/edited photos. I wanted people to see that hey it's okay if you have rolls when you sit/a weird pouch because that's your organs lol. I dipped out pretty quick though once I saw how toxic it was becoming
the body positivity movement is for everyone/all body types. not just deformities, it’s also very much about weight. but you right in that it’s not supposed to be glorifying unhealthy lifestyle.
Amen i have a chronic skin condition that leaves scars and huge red patches on my body and when im not in a reaction stage my skin has bleached looking patches where my red splotches were and tanning makes it stand out more because those parts of my skin cant tan for some reason i thought it was eczema but they couldn't figure out wjat it was to be exact they marked it to a mix of auto immune disorder and vitiligo and i hid my skin so long the body positive movement was orginally for that not an excuse for obesity
It was about weight too, but it was supposed to be more of "you can feel beautiful at any size/don't hate yourself," but people have turned it into pretending that being obese is healthy.
And also for the people who don't have the beauty standart body of have extra skin or are unable to have a thigh gap or are like just a bit overweight or a normal weight but look chubby
“I’m a 10”
*repeatedly pulls down top to cover fat rolls*
Her body language SCREAMS insecurity trying to fake confidence.
I caught that too, but I already went in soooo lmfao
@@Michellemcd543 it’s ok girl it was so obvious it didn’t even need to be said lol
facts
Also, "I'm flawless" while covering the rolls
Definitely. That clip alone proved Trisha's point
theres a reason they’re called Nutrition Facts, not Nutrition feelings
Yep
This is a whole ass mood, and I’m 100% here for it
"facts don't care about your feelings"
All truth. I really want to know what the fat positive movement think😭
“Nutrition facts don’t care about your Nutrition feelings” 😂 i need that on my fridge
I can’t believe someone said making your kid eat healthy food is a form of child abuse. However I DO think causing your kid to be obese by over feeding/only eating junk IS child abuse/neglect!
Both sides can be extreme. You gotta find the right balance for kids so they're healthy but don't feel forbidden to eat certain foods like sweets
I think people who only feed their kids junk food is most often due to a lack of resources.
In some cases is child abuse but that rare most people just want their kids to be healthy
Anything that puts the growth and health of the child at risk nutritional or not is child abuse or neglect. Dieting or excessive junk food
@@daniellehowell4339 most often it’s about poor understanding of nutrition, I grew up poor but my mother fed me a pretty good diet. Twinkies and white bread aren’t much cheaper than fruits and wheat. There’s definitely an economic component to it but it’s not directly money, imo it’s more so people who are in poverty from laziness being lazy about their child’s health as well.
As a fat chick, I'm offended by fat chicks that get offended by being called fat chicks.

I'm overweight. Do I feel pretty when I dress up? Yes. Does it delete the fact that I need to continue loose weight? Nope. So yeah, you can feel good about looking good. But you still should work on yourself.
Wishing all the best on your journey, always remember that you CAN do it, even when it gets tough. You have the right mindset, of course you can like how you look being overweight but it’s always good to remember that change needs to come (even if it’s slowly but surely)
I agree! I’m over weight and very insecure about my body, and I try to lose weight. But I still feel confident and hot when I do makeup or dress up
@@elliesaurusart1202 as you should be! ❤️❤️
yass I feel good when i'm dressing up and wearing makeup but that doesn't mean I don't wanna lose weighttt
I 👏 love 👏 this 👏
Because I had to let go of this guilt every time I got dressed up. I felt if I wasn’t a certain size, I should only be wearing loose clothing and things that don’t show ANYTHING off.
I had to realize I can look/feel cute while also working to lose fat and gain muscle.
As a 6"2 guy that went from 300+ lbs to now 235 ish....I can thoroughly say there's is nothing positive about being 300+ lbs...there's a difference between self love and defending unhealthy habits
Congratulations! I don’t doubt your future self is grateful for the tenacity and effort
@@khrystal718 beyond grateful 😊 thank you boo ❤
Same kind of. I was always 115-125 my whole life but never had healthy eating habits. I LOVED fast food. I had a quick metabolism when I was young so it never affected me. Had my son and continued my habits and gained 100 pounds… I HATED it! At 33 I was told I was prediabetic, high cholesterol and high blood pressure.. had to be on medication. I got scared when my blood pressure was causing physical symptoms, went to the ER. The next day I started walking 3,000 steps, turned into 5,000 , 10,000. Then I started working out every other day. Now I cannot stop working out because of the mental strength and physically feeling great. Changed my diet completely. To make sure I don’t give up, I do give myself a day a week where I can choose something that’s not in my usual diet I use to love… it’s been 7 months and I’ve lost 70 pounds!
“Losing fat is too hard!” No sailor became a master on smooth seas.
I need to put that in my bullet journal as motivation.
I’m writing this down for when I wanna give up
I love the saying! Need to write this down!
When I was 13, I weighed 275lbs/124kg/19stone, I am 5'8 or 68in. I dislocated my knee and didn't realize how bad my obesity was until I couldn't bear weight on the injured leg after surgery, so I had to relearn how to walk basically. I ended up losing a lot of weight because I didn't like constantly asking my mom to get me food when I typically would get it so I wasn't overeating. When I recovered I started paying attention to my calorie intake and completely stopped drinking juice (I never liked soda so none of it either), and do home exercise for 30 minutes everyday. I am now 15 and I turn 16 in September and I weigh 203lb/14stone/93kg. My mom still buys unhealthy foods and the kitchen practically hasn't changed since I was my original size 3 years ago but, I still lost 72 pounds, I don't go to the gym or have any equipment, I am living proof the mind is what counts, I'm hoping to be 180lbs/81kg/12stone by my birthday.

@@KnightlyScarlet yup. I'm intolerant to wheat and I have family members who accused me of having an eating disorder because I didn't have dessert.. Because I didn't want three days of constipation/diarrhea. So that happens.
I started watching you at the height of my ED, and it's because of you that I turned to healthy eating and exercise, and not being afraid of eating more than 1000 calories. I watched your videos to trigger myself, but you did the exact opposite. I think your videos draw the attention of people with ED's because they think it will help trigger them, but you end up informing and encouraging on the benefits of healthy eating and exercise using positivity, comedy, and personal experience. Thank you.
Same with me! I'd eat under 300 cals a day then have a HUGE binge once a week and purge it. Now I'm eating 1000-1200 cals a day no purge only binged 2x in recovery and better then ever!
Absolutely agree! For me I started watching her during wrestling season, when i was overweight and I ate only 500 calories a day. I lost 30 pounds then gained it all back. I now eat 1600 a day, and am back to losing weight, but in a healthy way
Omg same, I've almost completely stopped binging now and eat healthy, nourishing meals without feeling as guilty for eating a normal amount of calories !!
Exactly! I'm in the same boat
😊😊😊
I went through her page and she’s literally shaming skinny people for speaking about their experiences about being body shamed and said their struggles aren’t valid because “fat people have it worse”

These people have no empathy and only think about themselves. It’s honestly kind of sad

She doesn't look very comfortable or confident when she's sitting there in her underwear. She looks like she feels very exposed. And almost like she feels like she needs to do that to prove herself.
That's what I thought too. And when she adjusted her bra I definitely noticed that. Key move in trying to hide fat rolls in a bra like that is to pull it down or constantly adjust it. Body language stays stating the truth.
@@sewerwitxh I very much agree and was thinking the exact same thing. She also had a hard time looking at the camera.
@@jasperdraca it all just felt super forced. Sometimes you gotta fake it til ya make it. She has every right to feel beautiful big or small but I know so well the change in confidence I have being a heathly weight as opposed to when I put on weight.

I've noticed that uncertainty (aka fear), is one of the hardest things to keep out of your voice.
@@jasperdraca I'm the same way with pictures. I put on some weight during covid and haven't taken but one selfie since then from gaining weight when everything shut down. But that's also why I love Michelle's videos cause sometimes I lose motivation on doing better and she brings it righf back
Imagine saying a personal trainer does not care about fat people's health and actually just hates them

“Nobody owes you health.” No... but you owe it to yourself if you have any form of self respect.
This. In the thralls of my ED it was fully about choosing my own suffering. Gotta recognize & reconsider, man!
The most stupidest phrase I’ve ever seen
She wants to bully people about not being body positive but you can literally tell she is uncomfortable sitting there in her underwear. She used her bra to COVER a fat roll. (I am 280lbs and currently on a weight loss journey) i think I’m right in saying when we are uncomfortable or feel self-conscious about our body we try to cover it with clothes! I do it! You’ve probably done/do it!
Yep... definitely...I think what Trisha says about fat people is true...
Well...she used a bra to TRY and cover a fat roll.
I just wrote this! It’s because she adores and looks up to these fking morons that envourage these young fat girls to do and saying things that make them look ridiculous all while they profit off them. She’s clearly not comfortable sitting there in her bra and underwear, like most normal people would be in front of a camera….just silly, all of this mess is just silly and unnecessary
ABSOLUTELY
i wear black clothes and leave my white shirts hanging for months until i lose weight.
I love the fact that since i discovered this channel, my love for binge-eating when stressed out is gone. I prefer to get more active, do workouts, clean my whole home everytime i feel badmood or bored. Michelle is very smart, i love the way she talks about how important to understand what self-acceptance is correctly. She is also my motivation to stick to my healthy routine. Keep going, girl!
Hi, do you have any other tips for binge eating? I feel stuck and would love any advice to help!
@@LexxieDivineplease share tips cos im not old enough for cigarettes 😡
@@LexxieDivinei plan out my food portions and snacks into baggies so that i dont binge eat. for example: i just got my favorite snack which is xtra cheddar goldfish, and its easy to sit and eat the whole bag, but i break the bag up into smaller bags so that i dont binge
Who else came to her channel, tried to be offended, couldn't be offended. Then decided you were done making excuses and were gonna change your life and body for the better? I started out at 195 and am down to 188 and still going! (Healthily of course) So thanks Michelle!
Woot woot! Keep up the great work!
Congratulations!

OOOOOHHHHHH!!!
Losing weight is difficult. Admitting to myself that I have a problem and I need help is difficult. But it can be done. From 370lbs, I am now down to 300lbs. Coping up with the loss of my mother and my troubled past is extremely hard. Fear, shame, grief. I fully understand that I need to deal with these trapped emotions. I stopped making excuses. I committed to being mentally strong, keep doing it and never giving up. It's gonna be a long journey I know but I am very appreciative of all the help and the support and constructive criticisms. Michelle is a gem. Thank you for everything that you do for us.
*** Such kind words from all of you. 😍 Thank you so much for your encouragement. God bless your hearts. I will always read your comments to keep me going. I'm rooting for all of you too. ❤❤❤
Update: I posted this 4 months ago. I now weigh 268 lbs
🙌🙌 Congrats! You got this. It is hard but worth it.
Good job.
You are amazing! Also please remember that there is nothing wrong with asking for help, therapy can really benefit anyone.
That's incredible! xx
That's amazing that you've made all that progress while going through so much. I wish you the best!
I gained 120 pounds during my pregnancy and became obese. I’ve since lost 70 of it but am still overweight. And I hecking LOVE your videos. I felt beautiful when I was pregnant, after I gave birth, now, and will when I get off the rest of the weight. I also developed breathing issues, joint pain, and high blood pressure when I was at my heaviest weight. You can love yourself AND at the same time, get closer to health by taking care of your weight.
"Some people just can't lose weight" drives me insane. My daughter has PCOS with the added complication of a physical disability and genuinely struggled to lose weight. She tried EVERYTHING, it was heartbreaking, her confidence was at rock bottom. Instead of throwing in the towel, she kept trying until something worked. She's now living in ketosis, lost 5st/BMI 23, and is actively managing not only her weight but her symptoms. You CAN lose weight, even with health complications, you just have to stick to it.
So true. I also have pcos and I lost 25kg in total. I was sick of being obese and I had cancer twice. The cancer opened my eyes 👀 its worth it
Okay no. Not everyones body even with the same conditions are the same.
There's a way to be healthy but that doesn't mean everyone is going to appear thin.
My mother who is hypothyroid has tried to lose weight all my life. I'm nearly 24, I've never seen her not trying to lose weight, she's worked with personal trainers, she's been on multiple different medications to manage the fact she has no fucking thyroid.
What works for one person doesn't always work for another.
This comment is so fucking ableist lmao
Like I'm so proud for your daughter but fuck off with the whole toxic disability porn.
i always say this, its so rare that someone will be unable to loose weight once the health problem is sorted not just eat right blah blah but maybe trying different medications and looking for more underlying health issues. saying sat isnt healthy doesnt really mean fat=bad health all the time, its often bad health=fat=bad health. its important to make sure people dont loose it to fast either, ive lost 110ish lbs everyone said i looked nice or was a drug addict, the doctors kept saying i had an eating disorder which influenced me developing disordered eating and then i had a 18inch precancerous tumor in my left felopian tube i had it removed as it was starting to grow into my bowels and ive been boucing around 100-108lb since 2018 and down to mid 90s depending on how much i eat... i miss having big titties though :(
@@MonstehDinosawr Having a calorie deficit works for everyone without exception
I'm hypothyroid with a variety of other issues I'm digging into it. It's so hard to lose weight. Impossible? Not at all. Just very hard. If you're determined you'll find a way.
As an overweight male, even I think this whole body positivity the is stupid. Yes it's unhealthy and no we should not be all "Yay this is cool." I suffer a whole lot of laziness and that's my fault. It's our fault. I don't know why these people got to say it's good to be fat when it's not. And I bet you they don't even know that you went through losing weight as well. Or they do know and are just jealous because they can't lose the weight. I understand not having the willpower to stop eating. But don't go out there and see it's healthy. Have an awesome day everybody and Aloha from Oahu Hawaii. ❤️🤙
ikr!!! i really don't like how people messed up #bodypositivity. it's supposed to be about any sort of person loving themselves and their bodies (yes, even conventionally attractive people), and kindly encouraging unhealthy people to have their journey of losing/gaining weight for health fueled by self-love, you know?
The worst part of the body positivity movement seems to be that they exclude men. They don't seem to think it's okay when men are overweight. It's very odd.
Its how they "deal" with it, I think they feel ashamed about the laziness and gluttony, but its not shameful those are very understandable human traits, and they can be changed if you work at it, even just 30mins of exercise a day even just starting with that 30mins being a walk, and that means just walking out for 15mins and then turning around and going back home, and the overeating can really be helped if you cut fatty sauces and etc and add low calorie density foods that you can add to meals in large amounts without adding much calories like celery zucchini potato and winter squash (are my favourites) and fruit for breakfast is a good tip too, I eat frozen fruit blended with lowfat yoghurt with artificial sweetener added and its pretty much like having ice cream for breakfast except healthy. Good luck my friend ♡
Person one i thought body positivity was originally about loving what couldnt be changed, like you have bad acne and feel suicidal, body positivity, which translated to not everyone is going to be anorexic sticks to be beautiful because regular sized people are beautiful, or people starving themselves because they hate themselves so are punishing themselves, which then morphed into people who cant see their beauty and are destroyed thinking they need surgery and its never enough what is that dismorphia? I never thought it was just about people over normal size. I think the whole thing got hijacked. Like cultural appropriation got hijacked, used to be it was about for example china claiming Pansori is Chinese when the world unesco organisation named it Korean world heritage. Its not supposed to be used by people offended that someone bought a cheap Chinese style dress and wore it to their prom because she thought it absolutely beautiful and she could afford it on her part time job.
@@carolday3381 I think body positivity used to also be about people who were missing limbs, or burned/ disfigured, something like that, and accepting themselves.
As a fat girl, I don't find any of your content offensive. You are actually very motivational! You speak the truth, some people can't handle honesty.
The Fat Positivity movement is the biggest ED enabler. As someone with AN I have never seen so many people lying and supporting delusions to continue an ED. It's actually scary and sad how this could develop and thrive so much

I'm a fat woman I am working on not being fat with my doctors and a nutrionist. I have many medical diagnosis that make it more difficult but you won't hear me cry "it's to hard for me to lose weight" my health and lifespan are at stake. I will never buy into the body positivity movement, being healthy is not being obese or overweight. There is a point where your size hinders your beauty because you've shown no consideration for your own well being. Caring about yourself is beautiful.
I’m offended by how gorgeous you look 😍
Same. It's not fair!!!
shes even got the singing voice. NO FAIR!!
Yes I’m jealous 😩✋
I Am also very offended by this how dare she 😩
ikr 😍 her eyes are amazing 😅
You know what annoys me about Virgie Tovar? I had gastroparesis for almost a year and I'm finally getting over it. Because of the gastroparesis, I couldn't eat large meals, I had to eat a lot of small ones. I would of asked for the smaller piece of cake because I'd want to enjoy it and not have it sit in my stomach all night. But no, I'd be considered "fatphobic". I honestly can't stand people like her.
That's a good reason. But even if you you had another reason, like watching your calorie intake, it would be fine. Your making choices for your own body. It's none of her business.
I'm sorry to hear that! I hope you are doing better. You don't owe any one any reason why you want to eat less. Some people just don't like cake that much! Who cares if they ask for less? It's such a weird thing to get mad about.
Awwww I had that, too!
I’m in the same boat! I have gastro issues and can’t eat many large meals or I feel very sick. I’m learning how to portion my meals so I don’t stress my stomach! This comment made me feel good about what I’m going through and gives me hope to get over it as well! I wish you love and luck!
What about us people who just don't actually like cake that much? For someone who says food has no "moral value", Virgie certainly moralises about the dietary choices of others.
The fact they hijacked the movement of burn victims, amputees, and deformed individuals to promote this movement is disgusting!!
This is my major issue! They can change their bodies, there are many people who can't change theirs.
@@a.s4587 true. If I don’t wear a brace on my body I can’t walk, but let’s pretend a muffin top is the biggest priority XD
@@abbyz13 its so not fair. You can’t change the way your body is because you need a back brace yet these fatties can. It’s disgusting that someone such as yourself will never be in the forefront of this movement because these girls are too insecure to admit they hate being overweight
Exactly how I feel. I would’ve loved to see a truly body positive movement with models with these sort of conditions in ads or on runways. Hell, even just promoting people with various healthy body shapes or less cookie cutter facial features would be better than this bs. What’s the point of having a bunch of fat ass models that would uphold the exact same beauty standards they claim to hate if they lost some pounds? That’s not accomplishing shit.
Fun fact: the person in the comments was complaining about watching Michelle at the height of their eating disorder
Meanwhile
I, a girl with anorexia nervosa, watch her channel to motivate myself to be healthy and get over my ed.
Edit: thank you so much for the positive comments, it really motivates me a lot 💖💖💖💖
Rooting for you!
Good luck xx

I don’t believe the person who said that for one second. It’s just a lie to make Michelle look toxic as possible to people that won’t actually fact-check.
you look so beautiful in this “goth” look. the chocker and black lipstick combo suits you amazingly

Right?
Lol she calls Michelle ignorant?? She's the definition of ignorance.. smh.
self-reflection
I don't think she really knows the definition.
Brooklyn is literally the poster child of ignorant. These obese people that are trying to play it off as “healthy” because they don’t wanna do the work. I bet they’d shut up if they got thin, and they’d want to stay that way. I’m a thick girl. I have thyroid disease. I still managed to drop 15 lbs and it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but I got off my ass and did it. Brooklyn should take notes. These obesity promoting morons are fkn harmful to society.
Hell yea!
Imagine how fit she would be if jumping to conclusions and the mental gymnastics shes doing burned calories
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha gold.
Lol
🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏
🏆🏆🏆
She should buy the "Jumping to Conclusions" mat. Plus, the proceeds would go to a poor, unfortunate man who was laid off and immediately got hit buy a car.
GIRL I just wanted to say you're a true inspiration to me. I'm on my own weight loss journey, from 306 pounds to 250 and still going to be a muscular goddess like you in the future, and your videos really motivates me to keep pushing and not ever make excuses because I know I can do better and I WILL. Anyone's capable of taking care of their health, period. It might be harder for some, they might need more help than others, but using this as an excuse to do absolutely nothing while attacking others and spreading misinformation to appease their own need for self validation is just a waste of everyone's time and energy.
Sure, I don't agree with absolutely EVERYTHING you say, but that's the whole thing about being different people, we're bound to have different opinions. That's what makes hearing other opinions so important, so we can ✨learn and grow✨ even if we don't agree with them. Those people spewing hate for no reason with no research at all can get a Frank's kiss to chill. Your videos are full of truths and tough love that I absolutely needed to hear and I'm forever grateful I found you.
Lots of love
update?
I hate the "I'm a 10 and so are you" type of body positivity. They think they're doing something but they're still reinforcing the idea that beauty is the most important thing, just expanding who has access to it. Which doesn't make sense, because if everyone is beautiful/any other superlative trait then nobody is?
THIS.
Truth. I'm not a ten. Most people are a five. But with hard work and a good outlook on life you can become more attractive to people. Get in shape, look after yourself, read a book. Find confidence in your flaws.
Fuck the 'you're perfect queen/king, you don't need to change' mentality. Animals don't need to change. Humans are blessed with a cognitive ability of self assessment. We are like malleable clay and can be better than we were every day.
The face she made whilst saying it & also tryna cover up all those rolls _screamed_ inconfidendence.
"Im a 10 and so are you" (unless your healthy thin, then you can get out)
I think the thing that helped me most was just being like "Yeah, there are things I don't like about myself but I'm not going to let that make me feel bad". I'm not perfect and saying I am while not believing it would just make me feel awful.
Update: Her main has been banned , she has a second account where she cries about "it being so unfair tiktok bans fat people for being fat" when we all know that she was banned cuz ppl from this video reported her for being an insecure liar. It's crazy she wont own up to what she did.
That explains everything. I was trying to find her video she made about Michelle but couldn’t find it.
Most people dont. It means admitting you did something wrong and that cant possibly be true
that's kinda weak that you all claim to hate snowflakes yet you removed a channel for judging michelle's content based on the thumbnails she uses to attract views.
@@disneytoysr4fun975 What's kinda weak is you not being able to tell the difference between a snowflake and people who rightfully took action to remove a harmful account from a social media platform. If nothing was done after Michelle posted this video then why would brooklyn even care? In fact if she faced no repercussions after this video she'd more than likely use it for her own gain and continue publicly and confidently voicing her toxic lies and opinions. Using your logic why should people be punished for their crimes? wouldn't that just show that the judicial system cares and are snowflakes themselves? It makes no sense.
Yeah but people badmouth each other on tiktok all the time and don’t get banned. I don’t know her channel but she must have done something worse.
“Nobody owes you health” so you agree, being fat isn’t healthy.
💯
!!!!!!
What's crazy though is in a society that has an expectation of subsidized health care costs, when everyone is having their freedoms infringed upon to combat a pandemic whose severity has been artificially magnified due to it's disproportionately severe effects on overweight people, who are a disproportionately high percentage of our population, people do owe others good health.
Why did I read this comment in Regina George's voice? 🤣
@@DeadLkeMe me too lol
As an overweight person, I appreciate the content on this channel. It's motivating knowing someone that had similar struggles as myself achieved their goals, it keeps me going when it gets hard to keep at it. I love the FACTS that are shared and the reminder of why I want to be healthy. If you're offended by the truth it's probably because it applies to you and doesn't put you in a positive light but you don't have the will power to make positive changes.
Same here. I'm a morbidly obese binge-eater and these videos help a lot to be more self-aware and get back on track when I'm relapsing. Thanks to her I realized how dangerous and toxic the body positivity movement is and she definitely does more good for people like us than this toxic community does
But saying fat people must be love deprived and sexually frustrated was weird. I like her content but this I take issue with
“I go on a fat phobic walk with my dog” 🤣🤣
I do that too
I do the same when I fat phobic walk to the store
I finally found a channel with my sense of humor lmfao
My ex-boyfriend was over 400 lb and he would complain that the only thing Michelle talked about was obesity when I would watch her. I was like, no, she actually talks about a lot of different stuff.
Sounds like Michelle got you to lose 400 lbs lol
@@thegreataurelius567 🤣🤣🤣
Congrats on losing 400lbs!
My husband thought the same way. He tried saying that she hates fat people until I explained that she doesn't hate fat people, just hates the mindset of "healthy at every size". Then I showed him the video about the Bang energy guy and he became a fan!
@@Lady_Aradia plopped zx
Fat positive community is the most negative community everrrr!!! 😂
That’s actually one reason I’m losing weight again lol. I’ve been fat the last few years and I still can’t believe other fat chicks are trying to say being obese is healthy🤮. Feeling so much better already.
@@bri827 yeah it's kinda toxic cause it seems if you wanted to lose weight for your health reasons or whatever it's like you'll get attacked for wanting to confirm to societal standards. I gained almost up to 200 pounds last year cause of the pandemic and I have been working and losing slowly but surely. My health was struggling much more before I lost some weight.
Dont forget whiny & self absorbed
The comment blaming Michelle for their ed… I had two ed through my life, binge eating and bulimia. Even tho I’ve been years not being bulimic I still binge eat, and Michelle (also obesetobeast) has been SO HELPFUL through my recovery and journey. When I wanted to lose weight I thought I had to eat so much less and only vegetables or chicken, I thought getting healthier depended on leaving everything back, it sounded so boring and stressful… But after discovering her channel I started to see that getting healthier was not even close to what I imagined and I actually started cooking and eating tastier and healthier meals. Also I found myself finding an exercise routine I liked and can do easily, and exercising made my mood change (for the best)
This is crazy. I'm fat. (Not proud and fat, just fat because life choices) and I don't feel triggered by you AT ALL. In fact I find your attitude way more helpful and healthy than the "fat acceptance" people.
Basically I feel like you're the kind of person who would be friends with fat me but would 100 help me hold myself accountable if I wanted to change.
Edit for spelling
Same.
People are sooo soft today being offended at the “ignorance” of true scientific facts that is basically common sense... A healthier body will promote a healthier mind, but I guess a delusional “safe space” security blanket is truly the answer 😆 instead of honest self accountability.
ikr!!! "safe spaces" are good though, as long as they aren't misused and actually kindly encourage people to take responsibility for their body. :D
Her insides match her outsides... soft.
Honestly you destroyed her without even having to mention her physical appearance.
Women like that have always been 1000% jealous, when I was extremely into fitness, other women would tell me that posting pictures of my abs (when I had them you know they’re difficult to maintain especially for women) was “fat phobic” and I should see how it feels to see someone better looking that me being proud of themselves and I literally said I had the right to be proud because I worked for it and when I see a hotter woman I congratulate her for working hard. It’s a mindset problem. (Seriously plus sized women can post whatever they want and show their rolls, but if it’s abs that is showing somehow it’s… fatphobic? Even though no one literally said anything about anyone being fat like tf???)
They want you to be as miserable as them.
I relate to your comment. When I see a super fit woman it’s inspiring to me because these woman are the people who helped me learn proper habits and how to improve my body. It’s people like that who show you what’s possible.
As someone overweight who is currently on their weightloss journey I pity people who feel being overweight and unhealthy is okay. At age 20 sure maybe its fine but once you cross 30 and suddenly you have all these health problems, you realize why the doctor is always pushing you to lose weight. Fat shaming is not okay. Don't look disgusted because you think the appearance of a fat body is unappealing. Be disgusted because you know this person is being unhealthy and ailments are coming their way. When I see a fat person on the treadmill I think they are inspiring because they are making changes for a better life. When I see a fat person eating mcdonalds Im disappointed because there is no need to add any more fat to your body. Your body is well stored with fat. Its time to utilize those fat stores. Weight Loss isn't about looking pretty, its about being able to climb a flight of stairs without being breathless. Its about being able to run a lap without needing a pause. Your body is capable of great things don't let the fat hold you back. When I see a fit woman at the gym I am so impressed because I realize how much work it takes to build a body like that. Whenever I see fit people at the gym I think, "if I keep working hard, one day I can be just as fit".
You’re actually the only youtuber I can watch that’s helped me become healthier physically (and thus mentallly). You cut the BS but also acknowledge that it takes sacrifice and consistency to see results you want. Some videos I can’t watch bc they may trigger my BED tendencies but I’m grateful you and your platform exits.
Brooklyn: you hate fat people

So, having an eating disorder and metabolic syndrome is, “liberating”…. How liberating is it when you need to have that diabetic foot amputated?
While I see the point you were trying to make, diabetes is caused by your body being unable to process sugar, not being overweight, though the two can correlate.
@@dakota7651 it depends on the kind of diabetes. Type 1, or insulin dependent diabetics can not get rid of their diabetes, it’s an autoimmune disease, but type 2, or insulin resistant diabetes is heavily associated with obesity and can frequently be reversed by losing weight. My ex-girlfriend is a type 1 diabetic and has never been overweight, it’s genetic. Her mom is diabetic too.
@@dakota7651 diabetes is not only cause by that and there is more than one type ... the type your mentioning is type one but type 2 diabetes can happen from being obese... think you need to go back and do a little more research

"my thoughts will probably offend you" girl Im only offended bc you don't have more followers and likes, people need to hear the truth and stop being so sensitive. I literally started watching your channel a year ago (when I was 300 pounds @ 15) now I'm down 100 and can't wait to lose more. All thx to you! You are LITERALLY a life saver ❤️
"You just hate fat people" some fat people have such a self obsession, very few people hate fat people for simply being fat. It's wildly paranoid
Honestly, her comments has helped me with my own ED. As someone who struggles with under eating and over exercising, it is really encouraging to hear her say that you don’t need to be a size 2 to be healthy.
same here, I found her a couple months ago while I was struggling with an ed but she helped push me to recovery and nourishing my body rather than starving or binging.
Sameee, it's nice to be reassured that I don't need to be guilty about eating too much or miss my exercise schedule. And the way she is not super skinny and looking so good making me so much better ^^

Ya know, I started watching this channel a few years back as a hate watcher but then I ended up taking your advice with a few other health youtubers I was hate watching and I started to lose. I started at 300lbs and my goal weight a few years ago was 185 before I gave up this tome decided I wanted to be between 120-130. I have now made it to the 180. My top went from a 3x to a medium and yesterday I was able to fit in a small shirt. My pants size was 2xl and is now an xl. I now weight less than my husband. My husband has clearly become way more attracted to me, I can walk, I can swim, I can play basketball with my 8 year old. I can walk my dogs. No longer sitting down while food shopping, I can breathe better, I feel better and because I worked on my weight problem and mental health together, My bipolar1 has been rediagnosed as BPD which is now well on its way to being put in remission, I have the new diagnosis of Autism. My depression that set off my binge eating Ed is gone which means I no longer binge. I did this all while, I was going through a break up from my fiance of 7 years, my back was broken with my ex didc 70lbs losy were with a broken back, my absuive narcissist mom was diagnosed with cancer and I had to take care of her and my daughter, going through a court case with my ex arrest, my mental health depeleted and I was having an autism related burnout which ment constant overstimulation, melt down and disacociation, the only person I had to help me was a stranger who I opened up to on the internet who took pity on me for whatever reason and supported me through this, he is now my husband. I crawled from the depths of hell and back multiple times and I won’t stop til I have that fit body I want. Hate watchers you can spout all the body positive shit you want, you can hate all these channels who are trying to help all you want, I’ve been you and I’ve used every excuse in the book, I had every excuse to go back and stuff my face but I did it through the worst physical, emotional and mental pain of my life. I know how hard it is to want to give up. I had a hard life, given up by a racist narcissisic family only to be adopted into a similar family with less racism, sexual assault victim 3 separate time by the time I was 14, no friends because I was bulled, my mom is crazy and saw me as her, mom, her siblings, her husband and her daughter and I had to go through every type of abuse from that. She gas lighted everyone around me and made me believe I was crazy up until I met my husband 3 years ago. That got me to no self esteem, 300lbs worthless and lost. I over came the odds and I’ve defeted every demon by alone up until I met my husband. These channels, the ones you hate, the ones you talk shit about, saved my life. I’d be Foodie beauty if I kept going. I have a child and I have a husband who keep me going so when I feel I can’t do it for myself, I keep going and do it for them. Cause I am that bitch.
Congratulations! I hope you continue to be proud of yourself and stay healthy and happy!!!
Good for you! Lost 50 myself..at my goal and feel amazing! You will do it!!!
congrats babe !
Damn you are that bitch!!! I’ve lost 70lbs, Congrats and amazing job, keep at it-we’re all in this together ☮️ ❤️
Ugh I needed to read this today thank you sooo much 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I’ve fallen off my fitness goals but Imma go back to it ❤️
I was never obese, always super skinny (in an unnatractive way that destroyed my self esteem growing up). It took me a few weeks going to the gym for the first time to clearly understand that 90% of this movement is made out of either lazy, weak, jealous, or just some incredibly innocent/clueless/detached people, and they actually consider their choice to play safe and never change unhealthy habits as superior, or sometimes _braver_ than someome who puts themselves on the line and struggles for a change
I have PCOS and hypothyroid and lost 80 pounds I'm so tired of people using those as excuses.
I have PCOS too it’s the worst 😭😭😭😭
That is bad ass. Highest of fives to you, mate, well done.
Okay but do you still have your thyroid Hun??? Or have you had a total thyroid removal.
Because hypothyroid people without their fucking thyroid have no chance.
And yeah I will fucking call it out because I've spent nearly 24 years on this planet seeing my mum work fucking hard to try to lose weight , I've seen her work with personal trainers, I've seen her try all kinds of diets. I've seen her take different thyroid medication which don't work as effectively for her BECAUSE SHE HAS NO THYROID
The body needs a fucking THYROID to help lose weight.
My mum is still healthy though despite being chronically ill but it does fucking piss me off when people like you are so damn fucking ignorant.
@@MonstehDinosawr Less than 1% of the population has no thyroid
"Is your doctor mean too?" Yes, yes that's exactly how they think.
When I was overweight, one of my classmates said my doctor was "a bitch" for encouraging me to lose weight for health reasons.
Doctors are supposed to encourage people to be as healthy as they can be that’s their job lol. I swear these people fool themselves into thinking everyone is out to get them.
@@moongem4489 I hope you didnt listen to them
@@rose-gl4io Lol no, I've lost like 30 lbs
I laughed so bad when you said you only bully “Yoshi”😂😂😂😂😂
When someone talks like this, "Its like nobody owes you health, its like the most ignorant thing..... blah blah, its like, its like," for goodness sake, learn to speak properly! I absolutely love your attitude Michelle! I love to hear it and you are empowering. You are positive, you are strong. You are becoming one of my favourite UA-camrs 💖💗💟
"Rent free." Ya'll paying rent, you just don't realize it.
I literally thought the same thing
I honestly found your channel because I was like "what the hell?!?", looking at the titles of your videos. But then I watched them and I was like, hard truth and entertaining, I'm here for that!
@@aidancarmody99 oddly enough Michelle is pretty nuanced and empathetic in her videos. Def not the edgelord her channel name portrays
Same, I think the only take I really disagree with was her Chloe Ting video because she didn’t follow the program like it was meant to 😕
I had the same experience!
I love how she degrades you for hating fat people, but you're a trainer. You care enough for the health of others to help them achieve better for themselves. I'm overweight (clinically obese) and I've never once thought you hated anyone. I feel like the bopo/ haes communities hate people for their own agenda, and even hate each other to a degree. They always read into the dust cover, but never the actual book. It's pretty sad, but hopefully they will snap back to reality (ope, there goes gravity😆)
Also like...Michelle has experience here 😭 she speaks openly about loving crappy food in the past & it being why she’s so motivated to be healthy in every sense now. These ppl come at her online as if she’s been skinny forever and is just shaming them. The insecurity is rampant & they blame the wrong enemy every time lmao
Love this comment. 😂
as an insecure overweight person who struggles to lose weight but isnt really trying at the moment, i looove your videos lol. it makes me feel weird and self aware sometimes but i kind of like feeling uncomfortable. if i felt too secure about my weight i might just over eat and make excuses for it, so thank you for making me feel uncomfortable. lol. these people are just very insecure looking for someone else to put blame on besides themselves.
Well THIS fat person watches you daily for motivation to continue losing weight (46lbs and counting) so there! 😘 the cosplay as always! Bookmarking this vid to watch when I get home from my walk (3 miles today).
Yay! Part of the cult! :D
Oh, holy shit! Congratulations!! That's so amazing! You're an inspiration.
I'm pretty sure Michelle's videos made me realize I have a food addiction, and that fact alone is actually liberating.
oooo congrats!
@@DianaLopezDlo Truthfully same. I have a trifecta of youtubers I credit with me coming to my senses about HAES and food addiction, and Michelle is one (the other two are John [ObesetoBeast] and Kiana Docherty). I watch their content regularly and often on repeat to remind myself why I'm doing what I'm doing and how important it is to my health, as well as to find ways to overcome my food addiction and binge urges. Knowledge is power and they have all taught me a so much useful info!
As a fat woman who is currently working towards gastric bypass, I find your channel entertaining! You're just stating facts and have been very inspirational! I found your channel through your TLC stuff, and have been binge watching since. Keep doing you girl! Body positivity is important, but so is keeping ones head on straight and realizing that the truth is the most important! It's also pretty funny that all these people in the body positivity movement... Are not very body positive to anyone outside their demographic. Not very positive now is it?
Best of luck to you on your journey!
Very true! Good luck sweetie! 🥰
My husband's boss got that surgery. He wished he had never done that. When they do the surgery. And they bypass all of your intestines to your larger intestines. You actually become extremely nutrient deficient. Then if you have the skin surgery. Cuts off a lot of lymph nodes. And not to mention, again you're not getting your nutrients because you're missing a very important part of your intestinal tract breaking down your nutrients and absorbing them.
His vitamin levels were so dangerously low. He had to eat every 2 hours. He had to take multiple supplements which truly wouldn't give him exactly what he needed.
Please do it on your own. You're stronger than your food cravings. You're stronger than your candida triggering dopamine when you're feeding it exactly what it thrives off of. Or is a fungus stronger than you? Think about that. Good luck
Trisha Patays - 'Body Positive, eating whatever you want and then crying about it after but going on Instagram & saying your sexy even though you truly don't believe it.' #Shook 😂
Right? The one time I agree with Brooklyn D is when she said Trisha was self dragging. But I think in Trisha’s case they were speaking from experience so it was much easier to call out the mentality after living it. But the difference is that they don’t hide behind a facade of moral righteousness. They just own their struggles
La verdad
I've just stumbled across your videos. You are a brutally honest woman, and I'm loving it! I'm obese with PCOS, BED, and depression (losing weight is extremely difficult but that's not gonna stop me from learning). There is a challenging tug-o-war between loving myself as I am now and the me I want to be (healthy and strong), and a lot of it goes down to my food.
I'm happy you're talking about obesity. There's so much damage that happens to the body by being overweight, and nowadays there are a lot of people who don't want to hear the truth. For me, my first step is tackling my BED headon. Learn better habits, stay away from snack foods that I will overeat if I have them near, and put my health as my biggest priority. One day at a time. 🥰
You’re just trying to inform people that obesity isn’t healthy and trying to help people learn how to improve their health, you’re not doing anything wrong, she’s just mad because she doesn’t want to do what it takes to get healthy. Good Job Michelle, keep doing what you do... you look beautiful as usual btw
What I laugh at is, she said we should just leave Trisha alone because Trisha knows the truth about body positivity and isn't trying to spread misinformation... Like, why can't they all be like Trisha? XD Trisha is smarter than what she trolls people to believe.
@@antithoughtpolice7497 exactly Trisha is smarter than people give her credit for, but she literally ignored what Trisha said and went after Michelle... make it make sense
Lmao your name killed me. I mean you’re speaking facts but the name got me, love it
@@laurenc4138 lol I just thought it sounded cool
As a nursing student, everytime I see young people with obesity makes me so upset, because those patients die in early ages, and they die like in horrible ways, so... this body positivity thing is mentally and physically unhealthy u.u
That's not what body positivey is about
@Kitty R why don't you get a life?? Insulting young people when you look like you have 45? You should be happy she cares about people's health unlike you.
@@hobihobi9595 just because she a nursing student doesn’t guarantee she cares about those people or health in general that profession is know to attract as mean awful be people that want to exert power over others as much as people who genuinely care and listen to their patients. It’s best you learn this now. I’ve been lucky enough to have good nurses but there’s a lot of horror stories out there about people in the medical profession neglecting/ abusing their patients
@@hobihobi9595 and young people are not above criticism just as much as older people. Young people get leeway because it’s expected that that they are naive because of a lack of life experience. Older people are expected to be mature of course, but life experience can shape and cement people’s view of the world so being flexible about change is difficult (but not impossible). Both deserve patience for growth. You’re probably very young but using someone’s age and looks isn’t the strong argument you think it is. Childhood obesity is concerning for many reasons but saying they die at early ages and in horrible ways is not true across the board. Many people that are “considered obese “ suffer medical discrimination and do not have their concerns taken seriously. They’re just told to lose weight as a cure all for all their issues… mean while they are there to get a tumor diagnosed and are completely ignored. This student can very well to contribute to that discrimination and actually cause real harm to people.
@@DiorLamour I understand your point. But if she commented that she was upset on people who don't take care of their health, she does care what's happening to people. If she wasn't interested in people's health why would she comment saying that's she's upset?
Her attitude and "I'm a 10" comment reminds me of the Game of Thrones Tywin quote "Any man who must say 'I am the King' is no true King."😅
That's actually a really good example of false bravada vs actual confidence
@@paintingdragons1828 it's ironic when you look at her replies to ppl calling her out on insta. At one point she says Michelle reeks of a superiority complex typical of ex fat ppl who've lost weight. But her saying she is a flawless 10 isn't reeking of superiority. Bit of a lack of self-awareness there imo. Thought of replying to her but then figured nah, she won't change her mind so no point arguing with her.
