At first I was so afraid that they would say how unusual her style was, or how it just wasn't right, or demean it like other TV personalities demean comics, anime or alternative fashion. But instead they were so positive! Thank you to the doctors for treating her with such love and respect :) She deserves it!
Any medical professional worth their salt will tell you that even diseases with no cure that will eventually kill you seem to progress slower with a positive attitude.
THAT SMILE!!! If i had a wife who'd smile like that, it would brighten my day just having her smile at me like that, her husband is so lucky to have her.
People are mean to her when she dresses normal, and nice to her when she adorns herself with ribbons and a pretty dress. People are shallow and stupid as hell -_-
"We know you love anime and Comicon..." **gets excited** "So we're giving you UNLIMITED PASSES..." **gets realLY exCiTED** "to the Long Beach Comicon." **not as excited** **smiles politely**
+Amber living with Dystrophy Only by looking at you, you make people happy and all " n_n ", and when you speak it makes you even more beautiful, such an amazing personality and sooooooo cute gosh!
'We know you love anime and comicon' WHEN HAS THERE BEEN A PANEL OF HOSTS who don't laugh or make fun of someone for dressing like this omg. Other hosts would probably be patronising or they would seem inauthentic, but they treated her like any other person. I love this show and I only discovered it today.
The Almighty s u c c. there are some people who get into lolita fashion due to historical influence rather then anime. I like lolita fashion because of my interest in Rococo and Baroque period dress, not for my interest in anime. there are plenty of others who feel the same.
I doubt she's really going for the lolita look, even if it's a lolita shaped dress. If she was she would be wearing a blouse to cover her shoulders and chest.
are you aware you are insulting an entire community by saying that she's a caricature . It's not because YOU have no style that others should be as blend as you
her smile is so contagious! I hope she has ease with life and I love how they gave her a gift that not only would help her but would make her happy as she likes anime ^^
As a disabled person, what her husband just said.. if my significant other ever said that about me, it would have honestly just destroyed me. One of my biggest fears about dating is becoming a burden for someone. And calling her a little kid and saying he's gotta take care of her... idk I just hope she doesn't feel the same way I do.
+Zeina R Hmm I actually thought the doctors were quite professional about it lol. They spoke in medical terms and explained the condition as it is. And they did share her story in a positive way. I just found rude how the husband basically called her a burden
+SbGus but it is a constant struggle. The way he looks at her and says how he keeps thinking about her well being mean a he cares a lot. like a little kid you think about them all the time. He's just like me as a person in saying the truth and it doesn't have to be bad. he's just an honest person. so what if he didn't say sugar coated sweet things. They really seem like a loving couple
+Vanessa Veiga No I know he means well. Otherwise he wouldn't be with her. I know he genuinely cares. My concern is he's acting like she's more of a burden and rather than a girlfriend. Which yes he's just being honest, and that's fine. It's just as someone who's disabled I'd never want to be a burden for someone the way he describes it.
She's so adorable! You can tell that despite what she's going through (or maybe even because of it, in a way), she's just this little cute ball of positivity and light. It's so endearing, and to use her hobby and passion as a creative outlet to deal with her everyday struggle is just inspiring as hell. This is a true warrior.
She's so cuteeee! I just adore the whole 'dolly' look. I wish I had the guts to do it. I'll just stick with wearing normal pink clothes and using makeup to make my eyes look bigger :)
She genuinely has a beautiful aura about her and she seems like such a calm happy person despite her health issues. Makes me feel bad for complaining over trivial things
It's not fundamentally different, no. Almost everybody acts, looks, etc. different in public compared to when in private. But yes, it's sad that people are that horrible to people they don't know enough about.
Her husband seems like such a sweet caring and kind man. She is so lucky to have someone who loves her so much. And I feel horrible that she NEEDS to get in costume just to be excepted. I love her dolly look, no shade, just I hope that someday people won't be cruel to people like her so she, and other physically handicapped people can stop being thought of as "less than".
I had 3 brothers with muscular dystrophy the oldest died when he was 14 and the other 2 died a week apart around Christmas time I miss them so much I'm very happy to see how you turned a negative into a positive
respect to her! She's doing the best for herself to enjoy life without harming other people. I hope to see her at comic-con, A-kon or any cosplay convention!!! Bless your heart, my dear
Do your thing girl!!! Many people with a chronic illness might sit around and get depressed, but this lady chooses to live her life the best way she can. Respect 👏👏👏
oh my gosh I am so glad God created this beautiful man to help her throughout her life and to care for her and love her like she deserves to be loved. God bless them. she is so sweet and I am praying for her.
Big props to her husband/fiance Martin, it's not easy taking care of someone with an illness, I took care of my father for most of my teens and early 20's because he has Crohn's, MS, and a laundry list of other illness and now that I'm sick with a seizure and migraine disorder my fiance has to take care of me and it's not easy.
I met Amber at this past Long beach expo and she was a real sweetheart... The thing that blew me away she was standing by herself in the cosplay area where there is professionals and she stood out like a living angel seriously... She blew everyone away with her look. I had no ideal she was sick she did have a cane but she made it look like a prop. What a sweetheart I hope someone can fine a cure for this disease and help heal her an others just like her!
What a BEAUTIFUL girl not only on the outside, but her beauty on the inside shines out so bright! Also, her husband is such a wonderful, loving, and supporting man! They both definitely found a perfect soul mate in eachother💖 I'm a single mother of 3 disabled special needs children and sadly we also don't have the help or family that we could surely use. I understand the struggles and worries one can have. As parents worry about their children doing certain things, I worry about my children NOT doing some of those certain things. I never thought I could raise 3 special needs children myself. Especially when I'm unable to work because of 2 of their disabilities. My children are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and my life!♡ I'll tell you all! NEVER UNDERESTIMATE YOURSELF!! You truly don't know sometimes what you're capable of until you're doing it!! Thank you for sharing your story and helping others be aware of things they may not think about. *(BIG HUGS!!)*
It's sad that so few who need help actually get it. I admire you and your "can do" attitude. Many people cannot handle one special needs child and whine about it. Here you are with three. My mother in law (90 yrs.) and I are both disabled. Although she has a perfectly healthy daughter, "her house is just too small" and she cannot care for her. We have a large enough house because we bought one with my mother in law in mind! My husband works and cares for both of us, grocery shopping, doctors, house cleaning, cooking etc. I have always believed that where ever there is a will (or a want to) there is a way. Some don't have the "want to." My husband is precious. So are you.
She is really beautiful! I can't imagine how hard each and every day is for her. I have so much respect for her positive attitude, and I'm glad that she found someone with the warmth and patience to care for her like that. They're both very special people.
my mom had a form of muscular dystrophy, CMT. She kept her self moving and walked years after they though she would be able to! cancer got her in the end, she was 83 years old when she passed. stay strong and keep moving!!!!
she looks so adorable! Why make fun of a human that is just like you!? She's just different in a good way, if I could I would hug the day lights out of her!
This brought me to tears and her husband is a fuxing sweetheart! I love Pixee, but I can understand why the reaction from the crowd, doctors, host(s) is so positive with this girl; this girl battles with muscular dystrophy, everyday, and uses dressing up to compensate/overcome the negativity, no plastic sugery folks: just good 'ol mind over matter.
I'm so glad to see that she got a stair lift AND a vacation. I was gifted a used stairlift almost 2 years ago by an elderly woman moving into an apartment and it gave me the gift of being able to do my own laundry and park in my (basement level) garage. It's been fantastic. As for the vacation she got? Love it. So often, as a disabled person, people over focus on the Patient and forget the Person. The gift of a vacation acknowledges that Person and acknowledges that we all deserve things like that. Going on a trip as a disabled person is difficult and expensive, and with daily life already being difficult and expensive (plus often times income is dramatically lessened), vacations often don't happen. I'm thrilled for her that she got that chance. My personal dream is to make it back to Rhinebeck for the sheep and wool festival again. One day.
I need to throw something out. Not everyone who has MD is thin like her. I myself have MD (as well as my dad) and we both are overweight because we do not have the energy nor muscle mass to exercise. (people actually do ask me why we don't exercise and well, we PHYSICALLY CAN'T) there are over 200 forms of the illness and some even cause weight gain
you need SOME. normal healthy people can easily say "you don't need much exercise to stay healthy!" because most healthy people still get ENOUGH exercise to burn off the necessary calories without even realising it. you might burn a few hundred while walking from the train station to your school/place of work. if you are in school, they often require students to get a certain number of hours of exercise a week. for people with MD, it can be near impossible to get the necessary exercise to burn off the average diet (2000 calories/day) as even a short walk can be extremely taxing. for people with MD that has progressed very far (eg where its extremely difficult to even just stand up), they'd have to practically starve themselves to maintain a low weight.
madeleine61509 80% of jobs are sedentary/desk jobs. Most people drive everywhere even for a five minute walk. You underestimate how lazy the general population is, and how little exercise they get in daily activities. Also, if you can't possibly get any physical activity to the point of not even being able to stand, why would you need the average of 2000 calories a day to sustain yourself?
ShiveringGaze27 ... and most of that part of the population (which both have a sedentary job AND never walk or get exercise outside of work) is either overweight or obese and thus that point is irrelevant. fact of the matter is if you cant even get out of bed, even consuming just 1k calories will cause you to become overweight over time. even if you dont get out of bed, you still need to consume food to function but it wont be burned off properly because you arent doing anything to burn it off, thus causing the person to put on weight.
jadenight0 if youre talking to me then im just trying to explain how it would happen to someone ignorant. im not judging the original commentor on their weight but just explain that they would probably have to starve themself (or close to that) to lose weight which is a ridiculous thing to expect of someone.
I dress up in Lolita myself. :) I love lolita style clothing. Living Doll is different but we use the same style to express ourselves. It is nice she finds this style positive as well. That is what I felt. Even when I was overweight, I actually got a lot of positive comments when dressed like this. I have since lost a lot of weight and I am now in my BMI. It is nice. It is nice when people like talking to me...
This makes me so happy. What a wonderful coping mechanism. I wish that I could find a mechanism to better handle my illness like this. She looks adorable.
At first I was so afraid that they would say how unusual her style was, or how it just wasn't right, or demean it like other TV personalities demean comics, anime or alternative fashion. But instead they were so positive! Thank you to the doctors for treating her with such love and respect :) She deserves it!
Ikr!
true :)
I mean she has a struggle ahead of her. I think it's great that she is living life how she wants and doing what makes her happy.
Any medical professional worth their salt will tell you that even diseases with no cure that will eventually kill you seem to progress slower with a positive attitude.
It's like a brain thing. You tell your body "I want to live!" and it does whatever it can to stave off death.
THAT SMILE!!! If i had a wife who'd smile like that, it would brighten my day just having her smile at me like that, her husband is so lucky to have her.
Noob Gamer ikr
GO WARD
it really is a beautiful smile
I think her voice and the way she talks is amazing, it's so calm, classy, insanely sexy... Just amazing.
I agree! She's soo beautiful and that smile makes me want to smile right back at her. She's a nice little ray of sunshine that's for sure!
People are mean to her when she dresses normal, and nice to her when she adorns herself with ribbons and a pretty dress.
People are shallow and stupid as hell -_-
Trust me you wouldn't want a friend who would avoid you because of something like that. Real friends aren't shallow.
It might be the city you're in. Some places are just bad (such as Seattle and it's notorious Seattle freeze)
Sorry to be that person but, 100th like!! 😆✨
Totally. I don't even understand that shit...
news flash . yes they are , shallow and vapid and stupid
"We know you love anime and Comicon..."
**gets excited**
"So we're giving you UNLIMITED PASSES..."
**gets realLY exCiTED**
"to the Long Beach Comicon."
**not as excited**
**smiles politely**
lol at least she also got the stair lift
(wtf new youtube is misplacing my comment for another video. epic phail yt)
They should've given her and her husband a free trip to Japan.
I know XD and her husband looked super disappointed as well lol
I don't get it, is there something worse about the Long Beach Comicon compared to other comicons?
I think she looks very cute, If thats what maker her happy thats what makes her happy
PinkBaphomet she looks so adorable, like a kitten sorta girl, awwwwww ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Anime Robot
Stop you're disgusting.
she should dress her age...looks so desperate
Yeah
her husband is an angel omg
I'm glad they didn't judge her, unlike many other shows would have done.
Me too!!! Like Dr. Phill would have judge her and called her crazy
Because she's such a sweetheart and she coped with her condition
he only does that when it is interfering in their life....
Elise .Sullivan She is so awesome!
(/^0^)/ Thank you everyone with all my heart! Your support and kindness is better than any medicine I could take!
+Amber living with Dystrophy Such a beautiful person, with beautiful style x
Good point x
You are so strong and beautiful all dolled up or not.
+Amber living with Dystrophy Only by looking at you, you make people happy and all " n_n ", and when you speak it makes you even more beautiful, such an amazing personality and sooooooo cute gosh!
You are a remarkable person. I am truly inspired by you. Btw, I loooooove your sailor moon tattoo! Hehe
Let people do whatever the fuck makes them happy, as long as they aren't hurting anyone else or infringing on people.
Chris M Preach!

Karamatsu Matsuno
LIL BIRB
Kate Mitchell yEeeeSSS
Karamatsu Matsuno She's such a good Kotori! :0
Yaaaasss my ppl XD
Too many weeb here.
I'm just amazed by the double standard. Like she literally has to dress like this so ppl will stop insulting her for being too skinny.
Linds Tee I thought the same thing .
Linds Tee the world is so cruel
what's the double standard?
people are either too skinny or too fat like no one can ever win lol its ridiculous
Linds Tee if you're skinny or fat people will still hate you lmao
Society id stupid asf.
'We know you love anime and comicon'
WHEN HAS THERE BEEN A PANEL OF HOSTS who don't laugh or make fun of someone for dressing like this omg. Other hosts would probably be patronising or they would seem inauthentic, but they treated her like any other person. I love this show and I only discovered it today.
That smile could melt anyone's heart
yes
yeah
Aww she's awesome. Humble and has a great spirit.
Lolita is adorable and she rocks the look!
The Almighty s u c c. there are some people who get into lolita fashion due to historical influence rather then anime. I like lolita fashion because of my interest in Rococo and Baroque period dress, not for my interest in anime. there are plenty of others who feel the same.
That's not Lolita. She's wearing cute fashion, but Lolita is completely different to this and is not called "doll fashion".
I doubt she's really going for the lolita look, even if it's a lolita shaped dress. If she was she would be wearing a blouse to cover her shoulders and chest.
rainagainblog.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/lolita.jpg?w=1000 Just Google lolita
stil lshe's Lolita-esque and adorable lol
came because she looked like madoka in the thumbnail
reem megizel same here.
reem megizel me too boi
same xD
Same
You "came" because she looked like an anime character. Okay, lady.
Kind of horrible that she had to make herself a living caricature of a woman so that people would respect her.
Jess Stone yes thank you
are you aware you are insulting an entire community by saying that she's a caricature . It's not because YOU have no style that others should be as blend as you
Emma Chiwawa She is a caricature.
she is doing what she loves ^^ if you dont like it, then go somewhere else!
Buttered Lumps ohh i understand now ^^ i think it attracts a completely different audience, and those people like her ^^ like at comicon!!
Shows that we need to stop judging people by how they look. Sometimes there are reasons....
She has the cutest smile, face and voice aw 😍😄
I like her Sailor moon tatoo.
IMightBeADuck yesssss
And I like your profile picture!! I love Cure Flora~♡
Me too
But are you a duck?
she should dress her age...looks so desperate
She looks like she is cosplaying as Madoka from the anime Madoka magica
yeah, i noticed that too, and in one photo she looks like kotori from love live
so true
she's an amazing person with an amazing husband. they're both amazing people I wish there would be more people like them
her smile is so contagious! I hope she has ease with life and I love how they gave her a gift that not only would help her but would make her happy as she likes anime ^^

I think she's adorable.

It's so endearing, and to use her hobby and passion as a creative outlet to deal with her everyday struggle is just inspiring as hell. This is a true warrior.
What a great husband.
She's so adorable! So glad they gave her the stair lift and the free passes to the anime events.
She's so cuteeee! I just adore the whole 'dolly' look. I wish I had the guts to do it. I'll just stick with wearing normal pink clothes and using makeup to make my eyes look bigger :)
I wish more people were like this, brave enough to express themselves. Id love to have friends like this
Her husband is a genuine sweetheart, let's not forget his total support as well!
She has a lovely personality.
I too have MD and thanks for sharing your story 😘
bev0821 best of luck to you dear 💜
She genuinely has a beautiful aura about her and she seems like such a calm happy person despite her health issues. Makes me feel bad for complaining over trivial things
IS SHE A MAGICAL GIRL?!

The Wild Card omg its meduka

The Legendary Soldier it was meant to be a meguca reference
Gnat Nevlik MEDUKA THAT PARODY THOUGH lmao
Its so good to see people not shitting on "living dolls"
the host are so amazing. not condescending at all. what a pleasant rarity.
she's the sweetest person ever
Sweet husband. Sweet girl. God bless them both.
She is a cutie and I hope she stays well.
Communism Is Death
yeah well I was being positive and writing a nice message for someone going through a hard time.
deleted
kuribo1 she is a cutie an I highly agreed with your comment it's sad to see people put others down when they don't understand conditions like this ..
Her husband was so sweet I'm actually crying
wow she's so genuine you could just feel that. such a beautiful smile
Every woman needs a husband like that! What true devotion.... lovely~
HER SMILE IS SO CUTE!!!!
Wow I love this episode of Sailor Moon!
Her smile is so pleasant to look at! It's so genuine!
I remember seeing her lolita photos before and admiring her lovely style! This was very interesting.
This is sad to change herself so people accept her but I think she likes what she's doing
Everyone does, to some extent. You don't scratch your private parts in public, do you??
Filming In Portland what?! 😂😂
Totally different :P
It's not fundamentally different, no. Almost everybody acts, looks, etc. different in public compared to when in private.
But yes, it's sad that people are that horrible to people they don't know enough about.
She looks so beautiful!
+mike skinner gross
+mike skinner +Rose Ward fuck you she has a disease. hope u live a shitty life
+Tee Cee wtf I meant what mike skinner said very mature aren't you like you're so stupid
Rose Ward lol realized after i deleted my comment relaaaaaaax
+Tee Cee no its okay I'm just going to go back to my shitty life
Its a Madoka that refused to grow up.
thats why she became space.
She's a real life Madoka~!!!
Angelica Garza I thought the same thing when I saw the thumb nail.
Her husband seems like such a sweet caring and kind man. She is so lucky to have someone who loves her so much. And I feel horrible that she NEEDS to get in costume just to be excepted. I love her dolly look, no shade, just I hope that someday people won't be cruel to people like her so she, and other physically handicapped people can stop being thought of as "less than".
IS THAT MADOKA KANAME
KPOP HAS TAKEN OVER MY LIFE fuckin weeb
Matt Freede welp, you recognized that i said an anime character, so you're a weeb too ;)
Omg
Since no one in this thread actually answered, yes that is Madoka Kaname, goddess of hope. Kind of appropriate I think.
LOL I was just thinking that!!!
I had 3 brothers with muscular dystrophy the oldest died when he was 14 and the other 2 died a week apart around Christmas time I miss them so much I'm very happy to see how you turned a negative into a positive
so sorry for your loss :(
i wish her and her amazing partner everything they deserve and more! shes a lovely person. slaying me with that outfit!
Man, this made me cry. Who's chopping onions?
that would be me, sir
asdf
HAHAHAHA
Shes So beautiful and so Kind,Very good that shes being herself
respect to her! She's doing the best for herself to enjoy life without harming other people. I hope to see her at comic-con, A-kon or any cosplay convention!!! Bless your heart, my dear
I was unaware of this illness :( Lucky for me I keep my harsh words to my self.
Bruh Steven Hawkins??
Ive learned that whenever you see someone who is different, they already know about it and there is no reason to point it out and remind them.
True.
you deserve definitely more up votes
+Joo-hyun Cha
Bruh different condition??
He has ALS, not MD :) And it's Stephen Hawking.
she is coping with a serious disease..... if this makes her happy, let her be. she has enough already
people are so judgemental and mean
Do your thing girl!!! Many people with a chronic illness might sit around and get depressed, but this lady chooses to live her life the best way she can. Respect 👏👏👏
She cosplayed Kotori I'm ded af
I thought it was Madoka?
Blake Belladonna The one she was currently wearing, yes. but in one of the photos she had cosplayed Kotori Minami from Love Live ~
Aw. She's so cute. And her Sailor Moon tattoo is giving me life.
oh my gosh I am so glad God created this beautiful man to help her throughout her life and to care for her and love her like she deserves to be loved. God bless them. she is so sweet and I am praying for her.
Big props to her husband/fiance Martin, it's not easy taking care of someone with an illness, I took care of my father for most of my teens and early 20's because he has Crohn's, MS, and a laundry list of other illness and now that I'm sick with a seizure and migraine disorder my fiance has to take care of me and it's not easy.
+charmaine hansen im sorry i hope it gets easier good luck!
It's great she found a way to make light of an awful situation!
I hope she lives a long time! she's so pretty~
I met Amber at this past Long beach expo and she was a real sweetheart... The thing that blew me away she was standing by herself in the cosplay area where there is professionals and she stood out like a living angel seriously... She blew everyone away with her look. I had no ideal she was sick she did have a cane but she made it look like a prop. What a sweetheart I hope someone can fine a cure for this disease and help heal her an others just like her!
+Jaime Jimenez I think stem cells can cure just about anything.
What a BEAUTIFUL girl not only on the outside, but her beauty on the inside shines out so bright! Also, her husband is such a wonderful, loving, and supporting man! They both definitely found a perfect soul mate in eachother💖
I'm a single mother of 3 disabled special needs children and sadly we also don't have the help or family that we could surely use. I understand the struggles and worries one can have. As parents worry about their children doing certain things, I worry about my children NOT doing some of those certain things. I never thought I could raise 3 special needs children myself. Especially when I'm unable to work because of 2 of their disabilities. My children are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and my life!♡
I'll tell you all! NEVER UNDERESTIMATE YOURSELF!! You truly don't know sometimes what you're capable of until you're doing it!!
Thank you for sharing your story and helping others be aware of things they may not think about.
*(BIG HUGS!!)*
It's sad that so few who need help actually get it. I admire you and your "can do" attitude. Many people cannot handle one special needs child and whine about it. Here you are with three. My mother in law (90 yrs.) and I are both disabled. Although she has a perfectly healthy daughter, "her house is just too small" and she cannot care for her. We have a large enough house because we bought one with my mother in law in mind! My husband works and cares for both of us, grocery shopping, doctors, house cleaning, cooking etc. I have always believed that where ever there is a will (or a want to) there is a way. Some don't have the "want to." My husband is precious. So are you.
aww baby girl :'(
She is really beautiful! I can't imagine how hard each and every day is for her. I have so much respect for her positive attitude, and I'm glad that she found someone with the warmth and patience to care for her like that. They're both very special people.
She seems so sweet and genuinely kind hearted.
She has such a nice and adorable personality. I love her dress, hair, and the eye contracts. She look so pretty. 😀
contract - contract with that cute little demonic alien?
She's so sweet :,)
my mom had a form of muscular dystrophy, CMT. She kept her self moving and walked years after they though she would be able to! cancer got her in the end, she was 83 years old when she passed. stay strong and keep moving!!!!
This warm my heart, truely does. Just the look on Amber's face says it all, really.
she looks so adorable! Why make fun of a human that is just like you!? She's just different in a good way, if I could I would hug the day lights out of her!
She different in a bad way... lol!! It'a call an disorder, a illness. And don't hug her, you'll kill her.
She is so adorable!
She's beautiful! People are so mean. Glad she found a way to turn it into a positive. 💗👸🏼
What beautiful souls...Both of them.
She's gorgeous. I hope the best to her.
can we talk about her wig and how Madoka Kaname realness it is.
This brought me to tears and her husband is a fuxing sweetheart! I love Pixee, but I can understand why the reaction from the crowd, doctors, host(s) is so positive with this girl; this girl battles with muscular dystrophy, everyday, and uses dressing up to compensate/overcome the negativity, no plastic sugery folks: just good 'ol mind over matter.
I'm so glad to see that she got a stair lift AND a vacation. I was gifted a used stairlift almost 2 years ago by an elderly woman moving into an apartment and it gave me the gift of being able to do my own laundry and park in my (basement level) garage. It's been fantastic.
As for the vacation she got? Love it. So often, as a disabled person, people over focus on the Patient and forget the Person. The gift of a vacation acknowledges that Person and acknowledges that we all deserve things like that. Going on a trip as a disabled person is difficult and expensive, and with daily life already being difficult and expensive (plus often times income is dramatically lessened), vacations often don't happen. I'm thrilled for her that she got that chance. My personal dream is to make it back to Rhinebeck for the sheep and wool festival again. One day.
What a nice way to feel more comfortable with yourself. Can't believe the negativity I'm seeing here. She and her husband seem like very sweet people.
Aww I'm so happy to see people like her she is brave and strong women I'm proud of you 🙏😘😘
everyone needs a husband like that. so sweet.
She's so beautiful and a strong woman.
I need to throw something out. Not everyone who has MD is thin like her. I myself have MD (as well as my dad) and we both are overweight because we do not have the energy nor muscle mass to exercise. (people actually do ask me why we don't exercise and well, we PHYSICALLY CAN'T) there are over 200 forms of the illness and some even cause weight gain
But you don't need to exercise to maintain a low weight...
you need SOME. normal healthy people can easily say "you don't need much exercise to stay healthy!" because most healthy people still get ENOUGH exercise to burn off the necessary calories without even realising it. you might burn a few hundred while walking from the train station to your school/place of work. if you are in school, they often require students to get a certain number of hours of exercise a week.
for people with MD, it can be near impossible to get the necessary exercise to burn off the average diet (2000 calories/day) as even a short walk can be extremely taxing. for people with MD that has progressed very far (eg where its extremely difficult to even just stand up), they'd have to practically starve themselves to maintain a low weight.
madeleine61509 80% of jobs are sedentary/desk jobs. Most people drive everywhere even for a five minute walk. You underestimate how lazy the general population is, and how little exercise they get in daily activities.
Also, if you can't possibly get any physical activity to the point of not even being able to stand, why would you need the average of 2000 calories a day to sustain yourself?
ShiveringGaze27 ... and most of that part of the population (which both have a sedentary job AND never walk or get exercise outside of work) is either overweight or obese and thus that point is irrelevant.
fact of the matter is if you cant even get out of bed, even consuming just 1k calories will cause you to become overweight over time. even if you dont get out of bed, you still need to consume food to function but it wont be burned off properly because you arent doing anything to burn it off, thus causing the person to put on weight.
jadenight0 if youre talking to me then im just trying to explain how it would happen to someone ignorant. im not judging the original commentor on their weight but just explain that they would probably have to starve themself (or close to that) to lose weight which is a ridiculous thing to expect of someone.
this is why you dont judge people. without knowing about her story and her disorder, people would have made her out to be some try hard freak
totally agree, though even if she didn't have a disorder, her lifestyle still shouldn't be judged. she's happy and that's all that matters.
This taught me something, it ended up very positive, and I'm glad to see her happy. She's awesome!
I dress up in Lolita myself. :) I love lolita style clothing. Living Doll is different but we use the same style to express ourselves. It is nice she finds this style positive as well. That is what I felt. Even when I was overweight, I actually got a lot of positive comments when dressed like this. I have since lost a lot of weight and I am now in my BMI. It is nice. It is nice when people like talking to me...
her cosplay is so cute
Her husband is so loving :) and she is adorable!
As a fellow Cosplayer I had to like this video to give her my support
I dislike medical TV shows like this, but I admire you for your strength.
This makes me so happy. What a wonderful coping mechanism. I wish that I could find a mechanism to better handle my illness like this. She looks adorable.
