@@iamReddington Did I miss him mentioning a military background? Either way, I've never been in the military, but I grew up in Texas so my use of 'yes, ma'am/sir' is very similar to his.

@@myharrybalzahk it could make people feel bad about not only ranking others but also about being ranked the heaviest in the group, even without people looking at them
I agree so much. I remember when i was in high school I would start eating food that i didnt even like just bc i couldnt stop thinking about eating. I started weightlifting and stopped being scared of gaining weight (bc i dont want to lose muscle) and now i eat whatever i want and know when i have had enough. The last time i binged was 2 years ago and im so proud of myself 🥲
@@asdf3668 Okay, you seem uneducated so I’ll try helping you by ✨educated✨. Eating disorders definition is any of a range of mental conditions in which there is a persistence disturbance of eating behaviour and impairment of physical or mental health. For me, it’s mental health, I used to not allow myself to eat as a punishment for doing something wrong. Different diagnosis came after doing things like that, depression, anxiety ext. Some other people can actually over eat, causing issues physically. Same with me under eating, it gave me constant stomachaches, I had low iron and I had struggles going to the bathroom due to the lack of water. It’s really hard to stop undereating/overeating once you start.
i feel like steven is such a genuinely nice person, he was so uplifting and very down to earth with everyone, more people should be like him in this world.
I like to think most guys are like Steven, You'll notice he keeps to himself except when replying or communicating directly with someone where relevant. Seems pretty self sustaining too, that kinda mellow cant be faked.
Dude was on a low carb diet for 2 years... Don't be like him and avoid fad diets for weight loss, they are dangerously unhealthy over long periods of time
I'm glad Steven mentioned that VSG isn't "the easy way out." It's a major surgery that dramatically alters your body and lifestyle. It's not "just for fun" and it's certainly not easy
well both of my exes parents had it done just because they wanted to. neither of them had much issue with weight or eating at all, limiting their mcdonald’s would have fixed it. so yeah they hd it done just for fun
@@Todomo Definitely. For some people, it is indeed a cheap excuse to avoid working out/eating healthy. But everyone is different. Steven here seemed to be suffering from body dysmorphia, food addiction, and likely also depression. When you're in that state of mind, getting healthy is extremely difficult. Not only would he have to fight and beat his addiction on a daily basis, but he would also be battling fatigue, temptation, apathy, and even his own identity. For many, this fight seems hopeless or impossible, and this only fuels the depression. It is a desperate last measure, and that is why this procedure is only recommended by doctors to patients on the very heavy end of the weight spectrum. Sabrina didn't share quite as much of what she is going through as Steven did, but she may very well be going through the same things. Her choice is something I'm sure she's done a lot of thinking about and is definitely something she has discussed thoroughly and and gotten approval for from her doctor.
Steven seems like one of the most genuine and kind people I've ever seen; you can tell how his experiences have shaped him and have allowed for such a strong sense of empathy for others. I hope he manages to heal and resolve the issues he's facing!
Laila is serving that early 2000s skater girl look and i’m here for it, like she would’ve be my fav character on some nickelodeon show when i was a kid 😂
Well then, all we need to do is blindfold everyone in the world, get them all together in one room, and start them talking to one another without feeding them!
Isn’t is crazy how sometimes we can’t see the beauty in ourselves, but can see the beauty in everyone else. I wish everyone was this kind to one another.
@@MrZxcvbnm22 You can be, it takes a while but if you practice being gentle and kind with yourself and practice forgiveness you can eventually learn to not be so hard on yourself. Best of luck on that journey if you choose to take it. 🙂💛
This was surprisingly better than I thought it was going to be, I really think the blindfolding made it a safer and easier environment for everyone to talk. I appreciate everyone's honesty(especially Steven) and it's made me realise that we should look at weight beyond face value, a lot of us, in real life and on the internet, are unsympathetic to individuals who are overweight or obese and similarly to individuals who are thin (maybe to a lesser extent but still a harmful discourse nonetheless) and we negate the fact that we as a society play active and primary roles in other people's body images so I think we should try and be more mindful and less judgemental and promote a healthy lifestyle rather than one fixed body image, people carry weight differently and there's really nothing wrong with that
That's a great take but I think it applies to both sides of the spectrum. People are also very quick to speak out on 'Oh you look beautiful!' When someone is extremely unhealthy. It's better to stay quiet that to mess with someone's mental state, by asking them 'oh are you anorexic?' when they might not be, or 'you look great!' when they don't. Not saying compliments shouldn't be given, but they should be focused on growth rather than how they look in the moment.
Steven is so attractive in all aspects. He has a golden heart and handsome face/figure. I’m so happy he got through what he did, and encouraging others to get healthy for their health instead of beauty. Healthy is beauty!
Steven is such a sweetie. It's really interesting to hear the backgrounds of people who are interested in losing weight and who have lost weight for their health. Everybody here is loving and accepting and it's a nice platform to address how everybody at any weight can struggle with being healthy and loving their bodies. I also like how Steven addressed that being overweight can be dangerous, not beautiful, especially at higher weights. And we as a society say that every body is beautiful but instead we should be supporting everybody to be healthy and to love themselves, no matter what step of the journey they are on. To me the most beautiful people are the ones who love others and love themselves. They support others and themselves to live their happiest, healthiest and best life, because loving life is the best way to live :) I would definitely say all the people in this video are beautiful because they had a lovely time and enjoyed meeting new people.
Yeah overweight/obesity is first of all a disease that leads to other various health issues. We off course shouldn't bully somebody because of the body weight, however also being extra positive about overweight is harmful, since people will not be motivated about loosing weight. So we should emphasize more that being overweight is a big health issue and not a "look issue"
weight is something almost everyone has had issues with.. it's cool seeing these people open up so quickly and have such an advanced view on body image/weight loss since it takes a while to get there.
Agreed!! Damn near everyone struggles with weight whether it be they’re ‘too small’ or ‘too big’. And on top of it it’s by medical standards and society standards. It’s often a no win situation mentally for all genders.
Almost everyone might be a stretch…. Seems to be a very American problem, not that it doesn’t happen in Europe where I’m from, but definitely less from what I see
This was a GREAT lineup. Everyone was so kind, respectful, and vulnerable about their backgrounds. I especially loved the connection between Sabrina and Steven
Really admired everyone's vulnerability. With these videos, generally one person shines to initiate and facilitate authenticity; this episode everyone got real and shined in their own way. Really beautiful video to watch - had me emotional
Me too - on getting emotional! This was so beautiful. What amazing humans! I see myself in many of their stories. I love the support, love and humanity they all showed.
Could you guys please bring Steven and Sabrina back for a series following them through their weight journeys and chatting through the struggles - particularly the social and psychological ones. Really need a show like that!
And the last guy. I think in US alcohol and food addiction is normalized because they are some times in social gatherings. But it can be a avenue to escape problems which leads to other problems
What a BEAUTIFUL soul is Steven. He made me cry and I wanted to give him a hug. I really hope these group of people became real friends. It's hands-down the best group EVER!
I really feel for Sabrina. I can so relate to not wanting to post pictures. In a world where everyone wants to take selfies, the body image struggles are real.
Wasn’t planning on commenting, let alone reading the comments haha (tbh, wasn’t going to watch the video). It’s nerve wracking and kinda scary seeing “1.1k comments” on something so personal 😂. Anyway, thank you to everyone who took time to watch this conversation. Happy to have been a part of it and share my/hear everyone else’s story. Also thanks to the people in the comments sharing kind words and personal stories/struggles. Much love 🤙🏼♥️
Sir, I was smiling the whole time watching you, your energy is immaculate 💙💙💙💙. thank you for sharing your journey, I hope you achieve great things in your life !!💙💙
you definately made an impact on me and I cried hearing what you had to say. Thankyou for being a part of this video, you really are such a ray of light
I’m so proud of you! Thank you for being so vulnerable; your kindness has moved me to better my health. I hope you find peace and always focus on the happiness everyday has to offer. ♥️🥹
I totally identify with Carmen. Being really active in high school made me so skinny no matter what I ate. People, even strangers, would comment on it and say how beautiful it made me. Then as I got older, in my early 20's I weighed 122-26 at 5'7 and I felt enormous. I starved myself and went on crazy "my fitness pal" diets and wasn't happy unless I was underweight on the BMI scale. I still deal with those issues at 24. I'm 119 now and am still trying to lose weight. Watching this video made me realize that it's normal for me to weight 122+ and I the dizziness, hunger, headaches, tiredness aren't worth it. This video really helped me.
Richard and Steven if you're watching this, I'm proud of you both, you're now inspirations to many, and Sabrina congratulations on taking a great decision ❤️
This line up is so wholesome I am in love ❤ Does anyone else this that Steven looks kiiiinda like Chris Hemsworth? His eyes, eyebrows, something about his face just reminds me of him.
This was wholesome af , what a great group of people, I rarely comment but to all who were in this video, best of luck to all of you, weight really is a struggle that could stick with you for the rest of your life but you all will overcome it that I am sure of.
I really feel what Rich was saying. I have lost 35 pounds and every time I look in the mirror I see the belly still hanging over my pants and still feel the chubbiness in my stomach and everything else. It's a hard one to look at and try to work through. This was an amazing episode full of love for and from each participant
Shoutout to Steven for vocalizing his view of body positivity. Body positivity's intention is to not be toxic, but it often has a counterproductive effect. Telling ppl they're beautiful the way they are when they are unhealthy is not a net positive. You wouldn't tell a meth addict or crack addict that they look great and are healthy, why do that with obese people? We shouldn't necessarily bully anyone for their weight, but we definitely should not enable them.
why are you specifically singling out "obese people" and not people who are also underweight? there is nothing wrong with the body positivity movement itself and there's no need to bodyshame randos on the internet.
@@kennedy3682 who body shamed anyone? I clearly stated that we shouldn't necessarily bully anyone because of their weight. Did you even read or did you hastily react bc something triggered you?
@@TGCid01 when did I say you bodyshamed anyone? I said bodyshaming isn't the answer when you see someone "unhealthy" and the body positivity movement isn't enabling unhealthiness. also once again, why isn't this same energy given to people who are underweight? why is it silent then when that's enabled..? 🧐
@@kennedy3682 why was body shaming even brought into the conversation? That's why I questioned it. - There's body positivity (enabling/positive reinforcement) - Neutrality - body shaming (negative reinforcement) I never promoted body shaming, so why are you even bringing that here as if I did? Once again, I clearly stated we should not be bullying ppl aka "body shaming". So what's the purpose of introducing "we shouldn't be body shaming" as a point of contention with my statement when I never promoted it? That's a non-sequitur argument. Anyway, back to the larger point. You say body positivity isn't wrong. Enabling someone who is an unhealthy weight with negative implications on their health, has eating disorders, or overindulges is indeed wrong. See my drug addict analogy. Ppl in that category need help in improving the conditions of their health, not enablement and telling them everything is okay. It seems like "body positivity" to you encompasses everything excluding body shaming (enablement, neutrality, and the absence of body shaming). So in your head if it's not body shaming, it's body positivity. Well, the definition of body positivity is specific to enablement, so by that definition, body shaming/enabling, promoting and congratulating the unhealthy physical conditions of others is bad. Just because I'm not for body positivity doesn't mean I'm for body shaming, which I explicitly stated in my very first msg. And once again, you must not have read my comments, because I addressed underweight ppl with eating disorders in my previous msg. If you're going to converse with me, at least read and understand what I'm saying. That's just basic fundamental respect.
In my view, it's very important to love and be empathetic towards yourself while you are on your journey to achievean objective, but you shouldn't accept yourself regardless, because some situations really require a change (for example obesity or anorexia) and you can't just accept yourself, because your health could be seriously damaged I hope it's clear what I mean!
not even exaggerating when i say i think this is yalls best video; I may be bias bc weight and body image & eating are things I've also struggled with so yeah,,, really appreciated this and hearing everyone's stories.
I bet you're selling yourself short bud. You seem very nice and Im positive there are MANY people that would love your company even if you had the tendency to be shy and reserved. Being an introvert doesn't stop you from making connections 🥰.
I honestly watched this because I thought it would trigger my Eating Disorder, but it was actually really wholesome and real and made me reflect and want to work on my issues rather than dive further into them. Great video ❤️
@@hippietinkerbell recovering is so hard but so worth it. i never thought i’d recover but i worked hard and have really mended my relationship with food and my body. some days are harder than other but i truly got my life back. the way i was living i would not have survived. you’ve got this!
what steven said about food addiction being harder to overcome than alcohol addiction, i've heard is true. I only have the former of the two, but the difference is its easier to give up alcohol completely and never have it again. You can't do that with food. You need food to live, so relapses will be way more frequent and its much easier for the addiction to be triggered by simply eating a meal.
yes! my parents are both food addicts. there’s a program “food addicts anonymous” i’ve watched them lose over 100 lbs each and lose weight and gain weight over and over because once they start binging it’s unmanageable
Wow, this has been the most mature, honest, and insightful group I've seen on one of these videos. People were being honest with themselves and vulnerable, this was a joy to watch. I hope everyone on the panel is proud of themselves for being so dignified.
I literally just got so emotional at the end. I used to be a bigger girl, I'm not nessisarily skinny now but I was alot bigger. On the verge of morbid obesity. Since loosing weight it has been hard to shake the negative feelings that came with being bigger and I related to these people so much. Weight loss (or even weight GAIN) is more than physical journey but an emotional one. Wishing anyone on that journey all the love the world has to offer ❤
Steven is such a nice guy. The fact that he's been where they are and knows what its like, Wow what an inspiration! He's been there and done that and succeeded. Food addictions and eating disorders need to be discussed more. This is the perfect example of a group of people who are not looking down on each other but are instead encouraging one another to love themselves and strive for a healthier weight and mentality.
This group has all had issues in the past, but all have worked at bettering themselves by their own free will. Absolutely amazing group and super wholesome, respect!
10:18 Steven was so genuine and I can completely relate to what he way saying, with dealing with identity issues after changing and having the belief of people perceiving you as you’re past self.
I expected them to be respectful but I wasn't expecting them to be so awesome and wholesome, love all of them. Thanks for being open about these things especially on video. 😭
Love to see how everyone is talking so openly and judgement-free about their own struggles with body dysmorphia and how beauty and health are not always aligned. They all felt truly supportive of one another.
I absolutely admire Steven's mindset! Everyone would tell him he's beautiful the way he is but nope, he's unhealthy, and he quit drinking and his food addiction. Awesome job! It's difficult but you did it. 11:00 is what I'm talking about
This was such a wholesome video to watch. I think Steven's message of not going too far with the whole "you're beautiful" thing is really important: it's wrong to make fun of people for their weight, but it's also wrong to validate delusions around a problem that can ruin someone's life.
Steve's honesty is admirable. This video is and will continue to be helpful for others. This is everyone's reminder to be kind because we're all going through it ❤️
I thought she was 60 kgs. Idk how much that's in pounds. Yeah I know my interpretation of weight is messed up. Edit: Thank you fellow people of the internet for rectifying the defects in my weight perception. Now my perception of weight is a little more accurate.
I love Sabrina so much I hope she accomplishes her goal of being a mother and with or without weight loss I hope she sees the beautiful woman that everyone else sees when they look at her
normally these ranking by weight-type videos make me nervous watching them because i can sense the discomfort among the participants but this one was so genuine and sweet... just a beautiful group of people. this was so uplifting and well done ♥️
I got so emotional, Steve is so empathetic and kind. I can tell it is still hard for him mentally but he is amazing for taking care of his health. As for Sabrina I feel her pain, I too hate my photos taken and I hope we can all overcome that.
You seeeee it shows that just because you see someone who is skinny doesn’t mean they are healthy… I am 4’10 and I weigh 90 pounds. When I wear something like a dress, and have insecurities about it I was always get questioned like “ you are so skinny why do I have that insecurities “ I am also borderline of diabetic, and my bad cholesterol is really high , and if I do not eat for the day I already lose weight.
Societal standards can really mess with people's state of mind and it sucks. Wish you the best, and my advice is to just see a doctor and let them do the talking - sometimes you have to block others' opinions out, no matter how hard that might be.
I'm 6'1 and weigh 120lb/54kg. People call me lucky all the time because I can eat A LOT without gaining any weight. FFS I want some mass to not look like a damn skeleton. Nothing lucky about this
@@TopBagon you are incredibly lucky. food is such an important part of life and it sucks having to deprive yourself because your weight is getting out of control. I have postponed/canceled so many plans because I want to get to a healthy weight first. If you keep eating as you do and just workout more, chances are you'll see progress. With overweight people, we have to watch what we eat AND workout. It's awful and I legit cry about it every single day. Like at least you can eat without constantly worrying how it will affect your body
As someone with a history of an eating disorder and is trying to lose weight, I felt a lot of these stories on a deep level. I am medically obese now which is a mental struggle and I work out when I can- being in college and a teaching major- but I spend everyday trying to think: “I want to change, but not because I hate how I am now. I want to change because I love who I am now and want to do what is best for me.” It is a hard mindset, but I’m making progress.
My mom has just had the talk with her doctor about starting the bariatric program. I’m so proud of her. I love her so much, and I know how much her weight has affected her. It was a huge decision, and I’m so glad to see others who are going through the same thing she is talk about their experiences.
I really like how they all handled this, and I think it’s badass that they were brave enough to be in this and all be so vulnerable in sharing their experiences. It’s really awesome to be able to see so many different experiences and how they all come together as people!
as a thin person, it’s beautiful to see people openly discuss the plight of their respective weight and body image. we as a society can do more to cultivate healthier relationships with our bodies, regardless of size.
I agree however I don't think we should be normalizing or praising being obese or being severely underweight. Both can have tremendous effects on your health.
Regardless of the ranking, just blindfolded talking and get to know each other was interesting without judge someone from the outside. But I think figure it out the ranking made even more motivation to really get to know each other even deeper.
I just appreciate how open they all were. It’s not easy to lose weight, or (for the skinny ppl) to gain it. My problem is I get burnt out so fast. Like Sabrina, I came off of vacation and did not post some pictures because I didn’t like the way they looked. But this video was inspiring and has motivated me to get back into living a healthy lifestyle. Thank you all☺️ 💕
No, black females are ranked number one in being overweight and obese. This is from laziness that have instilled in blacks from the individual who raised you and 9/10 it's the mother. You know, just like with Sabrina situation and many others in the black "community". This will not change until black females in large numbers start calling out these faults.
As a young women who has been "skinny" (though not extremely) all her life, I have gotten compliments on my weight, body shape etc. starting from primary school. This fucked up with my self image and made me scared of gaining weight. While i consciously understood how much i valued myself should not be even partly determined by my appearance, it drove me to have a bad relationship with food. i was eating very unhealthy or emotionally binging. Since i wasn't showing much when i went on the scale, i regarded it as "fine" but it was quite damaging to my body and mind. Over the last 4 years, i've gained about 8 pounds, and it felt to my disrupted sence of perception like 40. i am still struggling, but putting the emphasis on health rather than beauty standards is starting to help with that. Discussions like this one, in a safe environment where people from many different eating/weight backgrounds share their stories are extremely important
What should make you scared of gaining weight is health complications everybody should try their best to keep their body as fit as they can so they can live a longer life even if you are eating unhealthy you should atleast go for runs so you burn those calories
this was so beautiful and really helped me gain perspective. my little sister has an eating disorder and she’s been away for months at an eating disorder rehab program, she’s learned so much there and grown to be more open and loving, this video really hit close to me. it breaks my heart knowing people have to battle with these inner demons, i wish there was more compassion in this society. thank you guys so much for sharing this video... i walk away a different person after watching this.
I really loved this episode… especially the open, honest, and vulnerable discussions that they had with each other after they took their blindfolds off. I have BDD and while I eat healthy and am at a great point in my life, self love and self acceptance is a lifetime journey and something that I have to work on on a daily basis.
At first I was kind of scared to watch this video, but the way it was presented was beautiful and nonjudgmental. The moral message that your weight doesn’t define your beauty is something everyone needs to hear. It’s something I’ve dealt with and still struggle with sometimes. This video could have gone so wrong in so many ways, but the end product was not only addressing important weight topics in a healthy nonjudgmental way, but made an entertaining and engaging video to watch.
This was just so warming, enlightening and joy filling.The relationship we all have to navigate with food and our bodies is forever challenging us, and seeing these people openly talk about their struggles with it, while being so positive and loving was just so wonderful.

Well then, all we need to do is blindfold everyone in the world, get them all together in one room, and start them talking to one another without feeding them!

Isn’t is crazy how sometimes we can’t see the beauty in ourselves, but can see the beauty in everyone else. I wish everyone was this kind to one another.

@@MrZxcvbnm22 You can be, it takes a while but if you practice being gentle and kind with yourself and practice forgiveness you can eventually learn to not be so hard on yourself. Best of luck on that journey if you choose to take it. 🙂💛
Steve’s story has me speechless. The way he carries himself so humbly. He’s so kind to everyone
This was surprisingly better than I thought it was going to be, I really think the blindfolding made it a safer and easier environment for everyone to talk. I appreciate everyone's honesty(especially Steven) and it's made me realise that we should look at weight beyond face value, a lot of us, in real life and on the internet, are unsympathetic to individuals who are overweight or obese and similarly to individuals who are thin (maybe to a lesser extent but still a harmful discourse nonetheless) and we negate the fact that we as a society play active and primary roles in other people's body images so I think we should try and be more mindful and less judgemental and promote a healthy lifestyle rather than one fixed body image, people carry weight differently and there's really nothing wrong with that
That's a great take but I think it applies to both sides of the spectrum. People are also very quick to speak out on 'Oh you look beautiful!' When someone is extremely unhealthy. It's better to stay quiet that to mess with someone's mental state, by asking them 'oh are you anorexic?' when they might not be, or 'you look great!' when they don't. Not saying compliments shouldn't be given, but they should be focused on growth rather than how they look in the moment.

Steven is such a sweetie. It's really interesting to hear the backgrounds of people who are interested in losing weight and who have lost weight for their health. Everybody here is loving and accepting and it's a nice platform to address how everybody at any weight can struggle with being healthy and loving their bodies. I also like how Steven addressed that being overweight can be dangerous, not beautiful, especially at higher weights. And we as a society say that every body is beautiful but instead we should be supporting everybody to be healthy and to love themselves, no matter what step of the journey they are on. To me the most beautiful people are the ones who love others and love themselves. They support others and themselves to live their happiest, healthiest and best life, because loving life is the best way to live :) I would definitely say all the people in this video are beautiful because they had a lovely time and enjoyed meeting new people.
Yeah overweight/obesity is first of all a disease that leads to other various health issues. We off course shouldn't bully somebody because of the body weight, however also being extra positive about overweight is harmful, since people will not be motivated about loosing weight. So we should emphasize more that being overweight is a big health issue and not a "look issue"
The way that everyone was honest and raw and nonjudgmental was beautiful. Gives me hope in society. One of my fave line ups tbh.
weight is something almost everyone has had issues with.. it's cool seeing these people open up so quickly and have such an advanced view on body image/weight loss since it takes a while to get there.
Agreed!! Damn near everyone struggles with weight whether it be they’re ‘too small’ or ‘too big’. And on top of it it’s by medical standards and society standards. It’s often a no win situation mentally for all genders.
Nah
Almost everyone might be a stretch…. Seems to be a very American problem, not that it doesn’t happen in Europe where I’m from, but definitely less from what I see
@@lighting7508 yeah ig i speak for america not all other countries.

Oh poor Carmen. You can see in her eyes at 8:40 that she doesn't want to hear her weight. As an ED survivor too, I know that pain
:(
I like this group. I’ve never seen such a healthy discourse about weight/health between strangers until now
exactly
Some are obese
I really like how they were up lifting and supportive of Sabrina. I totally get what she’s saying about not posting pictures.
Fax this entire video was awesome they were all very supportive to Steven and Sabrina and Steven to me spoke a lot of fax too
This was a GREAT lineup. Everyone was so kind, respectful, and vulnerable about their backgrounds. I especially loved the connection between Sabrina and Steven
Really admired everyone's vulnerability. With these videos, generally one person shines to initiate and facilitate authenticity; this episode everyone got real and shined in their own way. Really beautiful video to watch - had me emotional
Me too - on getting emotional! This was so beautiful. What amazing humans! I see myself in many of their stories. I love the support, love and humanity they all showed.

Could you guys please bring Steven and Sabrina back for a series following them through their weight journeys and chatting through the struggles - particularly the social and psychological ones. Really need a show like that!
And the last guy. I think in US alcohol and food addiction is normalized because they are some times in social gatherings. But it can be a avenue to escape problems which leads to other problems
What a BEAUTIFUL soul is Steven.
He made me cry and I wanted to give him a hug.
I really hope these group of people became real friends. It's hands-down the best group EVER!
did u actually cry tho

Thanks for having me on guys! I learned a lot about my perception on weight. Shout out to everyone who spoke on their relationship with their weight.
Thank you, this was definitely one of the best Jubilee videos yet!
thank you for being there I loved this video :)) definitely one of the best ones!!
shout out to you, for being so cool.
Ur so cool ruben
I really feel for Sabrina. I can so relate to not wanting to post pictures. In a world where everyone wants to take selfies, the body image struggles are real.
Wasn’t planning on commenting, let alone reading the comments haha (tbh, wasn’t going to watch the video). It’s nerve wracking and kinda scary seeing “1.1k comments” on something so personal 😂. Anyway, thank you to everyone who took time to watch this conversation. Happy to have been a part of it and share my/hear everyone else’s story. Also thanks to the people in the comments sharing kind words and personal stories/struggles. Much love 🤙🏼♥️
Sir, I was smiling the whole time watching you, your energy is immaculate 💙💙💙💙.
thank you for sharing your journey, I hope you achieve great things in your life !!💙💙
You're the coolest Steven! Thank you for sharing your experience. I wish you well❤
you definately made an impact on me and I cried hearing what you had to say. Thankyou for being a part of this video, you really are such a ray of light
how did you get in the video? do they just pick random people on the street? lol
I’m so proud of you! Thank you for being so vulnerable; your kindness has moved me to better my health. I hope you find peace and always focus on the happiness everyday has to offer. ♥️🥹
How interesting that they decided to do this video with them blindfolded. This just goes to show how weight can look soooo different on people.
how? i think u mean based on what they said they assumed how they would look
I totally identify with Carmen. Being really active in high school made me so skinny no matter what I ate. People, even strangers, would comment on it and say how beautiful it made me. Then as I got older, in my early 20's I weighed 122-26 at 5'7 and I felt enormous. I starved myself and went on crazy "my fitness pal" diets and wasn't happy unless I was underweight on the BMI scale. I still deal with those issues at 24. I'm 119 now and am still trying to lose weight. Watching this video made me realize that it's normal for me to weight 122+ and I the dizziness, hunger, headaches, tiredness aren't worth it. This video really helped me.
I hope you find a balance
You don't have to lose weight. It would actually be healthy to gain some
yes for sure you would benefit from a 5-10lb gain!
im 5'7 and 122 lbs but im trying to be 140 lbs atleast for now
This was such a healthy conversation. These people all have such beautiful hearts.

This was wholesome af , what a great group of people, I rarely comment but to all who were in this video, best of luck to all of you, weight really is a struggle that could stick with you for the rest of your life but you all will overcome it that I am sure of.
steven is such an attractive person. the way he speaks is so heartfelt and genuine.
I really feel what Rich was saying. I have lost 35 pounds and every time I look in the mirror I see the belly still hanging over my pants and still feel the chubbiness in my stomach and everything else. It's a hard one to look at and try to work through. This was an amazing episode full of love for and from each participant
How much do u weigh rn
Shoutout to Steven for vocalizing his view of body positivity. Body positivity's intention is to not be toxic, but it often has a counterproductive effect. Telling ppl they're beautiful the way they are when they are unhealthy is not a net positive. You wouldn't tell a meth addict or crack addict that they look great and are healthy, why do that with obese people? We shouldn't necessarily bully anyone for their weight, but we definitely should not enable them.
why are you specifically singling out "obese people" and not people who are also underweight? there is nothing wrong with the body positivity movement itself and there's no need to bodyshame randos on the internet.
@@kennedy3682 who body shamed anyone? I clearly stated that we shouldn't necessarily bully anyone because of their weight. Did you even read or did you hastily react bc something triggered you?
@@TGCid01 when did I say you bodyshamed anyone? I said bodyshaming isn't the answer when you see someone "unhealthy" and the body positivity movement isn't enabling unhealthiness. also once again, why isn't this same energy given to people who are underweight? why is it silent then when that's enabled..? 🧐
@@kennedy3682 why was body shaming even brought into the conversation? That's why I questioned it.
- There's body positivity (enabling/positive reinforcement)
- Neutrality
- body shaming (negative reinforcement)
I never promoted body shaming, so why are you even bringing that here as if I did? Once again, I clearly stated we should not be bullying ppl aka "body shaming". So what's the purpose of introducing "we shouldn't be body shaming" as a point of contention with my statement when I never promoted it? That's a non-sequitur argument.
Anyway, back to the larger point. You say body positivity isn't wrong. Enabling someone who is an unhealthy weight with negative implications on their health, has eating disorders, or overindulges is indeed wrong. See my drug addict analogy. Ppl in that category need help in improving the conditions of their health, not enablement and telling them everything is okay. It seems like "body positivity" to you encompasses everything excluding body shaming (enablement, neutrality, and the absence of body shaming). So in your head if it's not body shaming, it's body positivity. Well, the definition of body positivity is specific to enablement, so by that definition, body shaming/enabling, promoting and congratulating the unhealthy physical conditions of others is bad. Just because I'm not for body positivity doesn't mean I'm for body shaming, which I explicitly stated in my very first msg.
And once again, you must not have read my comments, because I addressed underweight ppl with eating disorders in my previous msg. If you're going to converse with me, at least read and understand what I'm saying. That's just basic fundamental respect.
In my view, it's very important to love and be empathetic towards yourself while you are on your journey to achievean objective, but you shouldn't accept yourself regardless, because some situations really require a change (for example obesity or anorexia) and you can't just accept yourself, because your health could be seriously damaged
I hope it's clear what I mean!
not even exaggerating when i say i think this is yalls best video; I may be bias bc weight and body image & eating are things I've also struggled with so yeah,,, really appreciated this and hearing everyone's stories.

Same here
I felt so safe with this group. Listening to them talk about their relationship with food made me feel not so alone in my experience. :) Great video
The fact that they all got together so well even when they were blindfolded..My introverted self could never!
I bet you're selling yourself short bud. You seem very nice and Im positive there are MANY people that would love your company even if you had the tendency to be shy and reserved. Being an introvert doesn't stop you from making connections 🥰.

Steven is so wholesome I’m crying. Have not cried this long is ages to a video. This is amazing
what steven said about food addiction being harder to overcome than alcohol addiction, i've heard is true. I only have the former of the two, but the difference is its easier to give up alcohol completely and never have it again. You can't do that with food. You need food to live, so relapses will be way more frequent and its much easier for the addiction to be triggered by simply eating a meal.
yes! my parents are both food addicts. there’s a program “food addicts anonymous” i’ve watched them lose over 100 lbs each and lose weight and gain weight over and over because once they start binging it’s unmanageable
@@sarahboktor2203 in most addictions, the thing that the person is addicted to is likely crutch
What a beautiful video! Everyone was great but Steven, Sabrina, and Richard really had a special shine and vulnerability to them the whole time.
Wow, this has been the most mature, honest, and insightful group I've seen on one of these videos. People were being honest with themselves and vulnerable, this was a joy to watch. I hope everyone on the panel is proud of themselves for being so dignified.
I literally just got so emotional at the end. I used to be a bigger girl, I'm not nessisarily skinny now but I was alot bigger. On the verge of morbid obesity. Since loosing weight it has been hard to shake the negative feelings that came with being bigger and I related to these people so much. Weight loss (or even weight GAIN) is more than physical journey but an emotional one. Wishing anyone on that journey all the love the world has to offer ❤
Steven is such a nice guy. The fact that he's been where they are and knows what its like, Wow what an inspiration! He's been there and done that and succeeded. Food addictions and eating disorders need to be discussed more. This is the perfect example of a group of people who are not looking down on each other but are instead encouraging one another to love themselves and strive for a healthier weight and mentality.
This group has all had issues in the past, but all have worked at bettering themselves by their own free will. Absolutely amazing group and super wholesome, respect!
10:18 Steven was so genuine and I can completely relate to what he way saying, with dealing with identity issues after changing and having the belief of people perceiving you as you’re past self.
Idk why but I kinda expected this video to be awkward and uncomfortable but it's actually really wholesome and sweet😭
I expected them to be respectful but I wasn't expecting them to be so awesome and wholesome, love all of them. Thanks for being open about these things especially on video. 😭

11:00 is what I'm talking about
This was such a wholesome video to watch. I think Steven's message of not going too far with the whole "you're beautiful" thing is really important: it's wrong to make fun of people for their weight, but it's also wrong to validate delusions around a problem that can ruin someone's life.
completely agree with this!
"No, im dying. It's not about the beauty" -Steven. Now this is my quote for the rest of the year. 💙 (im also bawling 😂 )
Steve's honesty is admirable. This video is and will continue to be helpful for others. This is everyone's reminder to be kind because we're all going through it ❤️

You seeeee it shows that just because you see someone who is skinny doesn’t mean they are healthy… I am 4’10 and I weigh 90 pounds. When I wear something like a dress, and have insecurities about it I was always get questioned like “ you are so skinny why do I have that insecurities “
I am also borderline of diabetic, and my bad cholesterol is really high , and if I do not eat for the day I already lose weight.
I lose more weight then actually gaining..
Societal standards can really mess with people's state of mind and it sucks. Wish you the best, and my advice is to just see a doctor and let them do the talking - sometimes you have to block others' opinions out, no matter how hard that might be.
I'm 6'1 and weigh 120lb/54kg. People call me lucky all the time because I can eat A LOT without gaining any weight. FFS I want some mass to not look like a damn skeleton. Nothing lucky about this
@@TopBagon you are incredibly lucky. food is such an important part of life and it sucks having to deprive yourself because your weight is getting out of control. I have postponed/canceled so many plans because I want to get to a healthy weight first. If you keep eating as you do and just workout more, chances are you'll see progress. With overweight people, we have to watch what we eat AND workout. It's awful and I legit cry about it every single day. Like at least you can eat without constantly worrying how it will affect your body

This episode definitely got me in the heart strings! What beautiful beings they all are thanks for sharing with us ❤
As someone with a history of an eating disorder and is trying to lose weight, I felt a lot of these stories on a deep level. I am medically obese now which is a mental struggle and I work out when I can- being in college and a teaching major- but I spend everyday trying to think: “I want to change, but not because I hate how I am now. I want to change because I love who I am now and want to do what is best for me.” It is a hard mindset, but I’m making progress.
My mom has just had the talk with her doctor about starting the bariatric program. I’m so proud of her. I love her so much, and I know how much her weight has affected her. It was a huge decision, and I’m so glad to see others who are going through the same thing she is talk about their experiences.
Steven really spread so much light on a sensitive topic
I really like how they all handled this, and I think it’s badass that they were brave enough to be in this and all be so vulnerable in sharing their experiences. It’s really awesome to be able to see so many different experiences and how they all come together as people!
Sabrina and Steven made the video even more entertaining, super funny and all the people were very nice to eachother
8:38 That poor girl (who mentioned she struggled with an ED in the past) looked off put when they read her weight outloud :((
as a thin person, it’s beautiful to see people openly discuss the plight of their respective weight and body image. we as a society can do more to cultivate healthier relationships with our bodies, regardless of size.
I agree however I don't think we should be normalizing or praising being obese or being severely underweight. Both can have tremendous effects on your health.
Regardless of the ranking, just blindfolded talking and get to know each other was interesting without judge someone from the outside. But I think figure it out the ranking made even more motivation to really get to know each other even deeper.
I just appreciate how open they all were. It’s not easy to lose weight, or (for the skinny ppl) to gain it. My problem is I get burnt out so fast. Like Sabrina, I came off of vacation and did not post some pictures because I didn’t like the way they looked. But this video was inspiring and has motivated me to get back into living a healthy lifestyle. Thank you all☺️ 💕
No, black females are ranked number one in being overweight and obese. This is from laziness that have instilled in blacks from the individual who raised you and 9/10 it's the mother. You know, just like with Sabrina situation and many others in the black "community". This will not change until black females in large numbers start calling out these faults.
As a young women who has been "skinny" (though not extremely) all her life, I have gotten compliments on my weight, body shape etc. starting from primary school. This fucked up with my self image and made me scared of gaining weight. While i consciously understood how much i valued myself should not be even partly determined by my appearance, it drove me to have a bad relationship with food. i was eating very unhealthy or emotionally binging. Since i wasn't showing much when i went on the scale, i regarded it as "fine" but it was quite damaging to my body and mind. Over the last 4 years, i've gained about 8 pounds, and it felt to my disrupted sence of perception like 40. i am still struggling, but putting the emphasis on health rather than beauty standards is starting to help with that. Discussions like this one, in a safe environment where people from many different eating/weight backgrounds share their stories are extremely important
What should make you scared of gaining weight is health complications everybody should try their best to keep their body as fit as they can so they can live a longer life even if you are eating unhealthy you should atleast go for runs so you burn those calories
they chose some awesome people for this. steven had me crying, thank you for posting this and thank you for these people being so vulnerable.
i love how everyone was so honest and respectful. Steven is such a wholesome person as well i'm glad he shared his story and made sabrina not feel bad
this was so beautiful and really helped me gain perspective. my little sister has an eating disorder and she’s been away for months at an eating disorder rehab program, she’s learned so much there and grown to be more open and loving, this video really hit close to me. it breaks my heart knowing people have to battle with these inner demons, i wish there was more compassion in this society. thank you guys so much for sharing this video... i walk away a different person after watching this.
I really loved this episode… especially the open, honest, and vulnerable discussions that they had with each other after they took their blindfolds off. I have BDD and while I eat healthy and am at a great point in my life, self love and self acceptance is a lifetime journey and something that I have to work on on a daily basis.
At first I was kind of scared to watch this video, but the way it was presented was beautiful and nonjudgmental. The moral message that your weight doesn’t define your beauty is something everyone needs to hear. It’s something I’ve dealt with and still struggle with sometimes. This video could have gone so wrong in so many ways, but the end product was not only addressing important weight topics in a healthy nonjudgmental way, but made an entertaining and engaging video to watch.
This was just so warming, enlightening and joy filling.The relationship we all have to navigate with food and our bodies is forever challenging us, and seeing these people openly talk about their struggles with it, while being so positive and loving was just so wonderful.
