You remind me of me so much. I have been watching your videos for a couple of years and so many times you say the thoughts I have in my head out loud. I am a total binge eater, and I don't think that will ever go away but I have to learn to control it as much as possible. I know anxiety is a huge contributing factor to it. I eat when I am anxious to calm myself down.
Yes!! this is sometimes exactly how I feel. I'm on medication too...I haven't been to school for 2 months..I literally stayed in bed...let's pray that we get better!
I once read that 'our addiction' is to be regarded as a gift .. that that specific addiction is our special way of getting to know ourselves through external experiences. I like how you embrace your addiction. AND thank you for sharing
It makes me sick how so many people judge a person by the way they look. It's the person inside that counts and to hell with what they look like on the outside. You get so fed up with people judging you constantly. I'm short and "tiny" as I'm called. People look at me and tell me I look terrible, I look "sick". I've also been told I look 10 years older than I really am. It's so stupid!!! Honey, you are SO BEAUTIFUL just the way you are!!!!! You are such an inspiration to me!!!
Thanks for coming on camera to tell your truth! It takes a lot of guts! My name is Omar and I was depressed for a long time. I was ashamed and ate chocolate a lot. I learned that taking a balanced approach to dealing with depression worked best. I beat depression naturally by; going to therapy, good nutrition, exercising, and most of all -- finding the determination to discover the causes and get help. You can see my depression self help videos with the tips that worked for me on DepressionHero.
i relate to this video. your not alone girl, there are so many of us like you. falling is not the bad thing, the bad thing is staying down after the fall so keep picking yourself up.
You really are so very beautiful. I love watching your videos and getting to know YOU. I respect you a lot and I admire your honesty. And I understand the depression piece and that cycle. Anyway, just want you to know that you're not alone, in some form or another, a lot of people can relate. And everyone watching this and following you here is so proud of you.
I feel you. I envy the people who lose their appetite during depression because I have it always there as a default mood. I don't gain weight because I stay active, but I know the guilt of ..engaging, eating in the middle of the night to try to 'fix' insomnia associated with the mood. Not wanting to leave the house and loss of motivation too, but all we can try to do is love ourselves. Keep working on loving yourself and know that you have the support of me and all these others here on Utube
Hi! You seem like a really nice person. You are definitely not alone in the things you are experiencing. I also struggle with depression. It comes and goes, and medication does help sometimes. Most people are overweight. I am borderline overweight and I am also a food addict. People who don't have an addictive personality don't understand what it is like. My mom is always like, "It's easy, just do this!" She has never had to be on a diet in her life because she is not addicted to food!
You are so beautiful and I can't imagine how anyone could be so hurtful to you! You've made leaps and bounds in these past months, I've followed you're vlogging almost religiously. You are such an inspiration to so many ladies out there who are struggling with the very same problems. Thank you for being strong enough to put yourself out there and to keep moving. I hope things get better and you continue to blossom into the beautiful woman you are. Don't let others get you down, lovely.
also, when I was a kid, I got teased all the time about my looks - not specifically weight...but other things like early development....acne...and I only wanted to hide, and I really was terrified of facing people. I am so proud of you for talking about this, talking about the shame, and about finding who YOU really are....(continued, lol...sorry)
I can well relate to that when depressed there is no way doing the good healthy eating depressing anxiety will make us eat but at least you are not in denial my thoughts are with you lots of good energy going your way do not give up and with time and good meds it will all work out and fall into place I know Ive been there and back like you say one step forward two back xoxo
Aww! I'm so sorry, honey! I understand how you feel..your feelings do not sound stupid! But you DO deserve happiness! Hiking is possible! baby steps! I know EXACTLY what you mean two steps forward, one step back. I have so many demons that I am working with myself, along with taking car of twins, isolated without friends and family, and in an passion-less "marriage"...It's hard! Thank you for sharing your story!
I know this is an older video but this is like listening to myself. I can relate to everything! I need to watch your newer videos but I hope you are doing better! I am trying one day at a time but its not easy at all. I am fighting like hell with my depression and dealing with the med go round. Its very hard.
I'm so sorry that you hear those things. That makes me so mad. You are clearly such a good person and its so sad that people can be so awful. I am so proud of you for being so honest....(continued)
You bought tears in my eyes I am very touched but it doesn't matter what people say, it counts inside you and you have a beautiful heart so don't think like that, you can make a stunning wife it don't matter about your size it's the beauty that lies in you and you are :')
i totally understand this: "i'll be fine and then all the sudden it's like i have a hard time getting any motivation to do anything.... " This is horror. If you don't suffer from depression you won't understand it. i can imagine that it's hard to understand. But i know how hard this shit can be...
Oh my gosh, i watched this video, i know it's kind of an older video but i totally related so much to this. My mother in law is always saying very rude and unthoughtful things to me about my weight. People really have no right to say anything about someone's image...it's almost violating in a way, as if it's not hard enough to feel secure in your own body when people are so inconsiderate and thoughtless. But you are so beautiful! And i wish you the best of luck:]
What a jerk!! I'm sorry that guy said that to you! I've dealt with a lot of crap for my weight and I know exactly how you feel. I was so depressed about it for so long. I went threw a three month period where i didn't leave my house because I was so ashamed. Never let it get to that! Always bring yourself to get out of the house and don't be ashamed to go outside in the day! You deserve to walk to the sunshine like everybody else
Just wanted to let you know that I know exactly where you are coming from. I am not as big as you are but not by much & i also suffer depression as well. I remember years ago when I had a very good figure with no effort at all & eating pretty much as I wanted. One day I saw a lady who was very big & I commented to my husband that I wondered how anyone could let themselves go like that. Well now I know & I sort of feel like I am being punished & deserve to be fat because of that one horrid thought. A word to those people who are skinny without effort.... please dont judge, it may come back to you Sandy
I love how you are able to be so open and honest with everyone. Dont listen to the as*holes saying crap. You have already lost so much weight & you know what? 95% of the people who call you fat would NOT have to power to do that. So you are really getting the last laugh not them
Hang in there! If people make crude remarks when you are out and about in public... just remember this... There isn't something wrong with you... there is something wrong with them to think it is acceptable to judge people by how they look. I often find that people who makea these comments are sad inside or have their own issues. You are a great person and weight does not determine a persons worth. Just remember that. You are doing great!
This video breaks my heart. I'm so sorry people are like that. You are such a kind, beautiful person and I wish I could get the chance to meet you. I feel the exact same way you do with a lot of the things you are dealing with. I've been battling bulimia and major depression for years now. Please contact me if you ever need or want to talk to someone. I truly understand how you feel. God Bless.
You really are so sweet. Don't think that you don't deserve love just because of being plus size!!! That's so awful :( my heart breaks for you because you really seem to be such a kind, loving and caring person - who deserves so much love & happiness. Don't ever feel like you'd need to change yourself first to make everyone else happy, because THEY should love you for YOU. xoxoxo
Hi I hope your getting on alright. I just wanted to say keep up the exercise,healthy eating etc. and you'll see a real difference in no time! And just ignore those ignorant people who stare, they don't know you or what you're goin through. Hold your head high and be proud of yourself! I know the depression may be an obstacle for you but try to keep positive and remind yourself of all the good things in life like family and friends. I hope these comments are helping you keep positive.
I commend you for the courage you have to share your views. If you rewind and watch your video, you will find the idea " how flawed you are" behind every sentence. Let me assure you one fact: You will never be able to enjoy your life to the fullest until you deal with your deep rooted shame. Forget about your weight, address the issue of shame and your weight will disappear. I also assure you that I love you as a human being, not as an obese person. Take care. I send you lots of PEACE and LOVE!
I have been struggling with my weight for as long as I can remember. I understand when you say I feel like the "Fat Girl" in the room all the time. I still do. Self esteem has always been an issue for me and it still is. I think it will always be. I personally think you are beautiful. I hope you can see that too and I hope you know that people love you. I hope you find your smile soon. :)
can I just say, you are beautiful. I am not just saying that and I dont mean 'if you were thinner' kind of thing. like, your face. all of you. you are really, genuinely beautiful. stay strong
you're fine...the only issue is your health. Drown out the ppl who think they know you and giving good advice. how u wanna feel, look is all up to you. from personally experience, there's a lot of joy and satisfaction that comes from not eating and know ur getting healthier take it slow..yoy'll be shocked at how fast the weight/fat comes off..and you'll grow to love the new, better u
And I have also experienced feeling like I can't have a relationship until I lose weight. I struggle with body image and I still tend to compare myself to other women and sometimes feel less beautiful and somehow, therefore, less deserving of relationships...its fleeting, but its there...(continued)
If u want to start feeling better I recommend u to do everything in ur power to get urself In a better place...and pls don't wait to lose weight to jump start ur life...find an awesome guy to stand by u who knows ur goals...I wish u luck and happiness, forever:)
please just stay true to yourself. you are a beautiful person, you can do anything you want to in life. Stay true to getting healthy, many people believe in you
Try watching Dan the Rejuvenator..raw foods Dan the Man, he is soo inspiring. I too struggle with this, and just watching his videos have helped and inspire me so much!
I have been fat and skinny. I yo yo all my life. Being addicted to food is so hard. It's a constant struggle. Its the same as any other addiction except our addition makes us fat.
What also helps me is that I remember that HURT people.......HURT people. They hate themselves, their lives, and their jobs. So if you're in a good mood they want to break you. Also your average person doesn't read the Bible, hasn't graduated from college, and wasn't raised by married parents. So you have to look them and think, "Are you an idiot?" when they say something rude. No matter what, keep walking, don't reply and they'll soon figure it out.
your gorgeous and we all struggle with all kinds of addiction mine is also food. it's so hard but we gotta pull ourselves up and love yourself more. that's advice I'm having a hard time following...
know that we all have faults and its very hipocritical to comment on others faults. already this thought should give you strength. and the other thing is always stick up for yourself. never listen and turn away. is it feels unfair you have to say this to that person. ask, what gives you the right to judge me, are you flawless? i used to take all kinds of crap silent, no more. i am never rude to those commenters, but i always respond. and usually they are ashamed. be strong and react:)
Dear Jenny, I'm at work. It took me 16 minutes to eat breakfast, but only 9 minutes to eat lunch For breakfast I read web site articles.For lunch I watched videos which is the same as watching tv Here’s the kicker. I was only going to eat one veggie burger, at lunch, and eat the other one on the way home I mindlessly eat the other veggie burger while watching videos…tv Goes to show you, watching tv and eating leads to issues
Do you have any advice for me about over eating?..i love food....and this picture is not my weight now. I am 15 pounds more..but i am very out of shape. Can you give me some advice?..WHEN I AM depressed i eat...when i am bored i eat
As long as somebody else's opinion is more important to you than your own, you are letting what other people think of you control your life. I know how hard it is to get out of that hamster wheel of emotional self-sabotage, but here are a few things you may want to think about: 1. These people don't know enough about you to be able to judge you. 2. Since not very many people come right out and say what's on their mind, you can only *assume* what they are thinking. Do you really want to make yourself miserable on the basis of an assumption? 3. What people throw at you says a lot more about them than it does about you. They are dealing with a gigantic inferiority complex. You think that what they say is about you, but what they are really doing is trying to make themselves feel better. 4. And don't forget: not everybody out there gets a pleasure out of hurting other people's feelings.
I'm being honest here . good video , your beautiful. and young and u should do what ever it takes to lose weight . u don't want to die early . . and with love, any man should accpt you who u r and if someone doeesn't liek that bf is with u then bf can stand up for himself and do his best if he really loves you. u need more confidant and self essteemm girl . good luck !
If you PM me your address I have a book I would like to send you. I see the wall you are building around yourself and I would like to encourage you. I had that wall almost finished and had almost completely cut myself off from the world. There is hope and people who care no matter what you look like. You look human to me! You are worth listening too and reaching out to.~God bless.
Very sad video. U let 1 old man bring u down and during this whole video u have mentioned everything that u can't do right because of weight. Your sabotaging yourself and giving away your power to others. Why? You carry yourself so well in grace and voice. You need to stop putting yourself down. You are your own worst enemy. You can't change yesterday you can only start today and start being the lovely girl you are. No one can hurt u if you don't let them. God Bless and keep true to yourself
I am overweight an in a depression. And had someone said that to me, I know I would have said, "Yea I'm fat, and I can lose weight. Your stuck being ignorant and rude."
As bad as it sounds I usually just stare back at someone if I find them staring at me then they realize what they're doing - and to the old man, I would have just said, "Your an Ass" and kept on walking.....The older you get the more intolerant you become to people being jerks.
Ok So whats wrong being fat? I think the best people are fat and we are all different. We all can't be the same. There is skinny people, people in between, fat people, muscle people and we are still all different. Self love is the best thing you could do. It's not a big deal that your fat. We all have our own addictions.. it could be food.. or even just relationships. It's just not fair that people just look at fat people differently. I am gay and we get judged also.. or if your from a different country.. or if u just don't look normal..
you seem sucha a beatiful person, your face is beatuful:). depression... i have been overeating whole my life and still trying to get better:). i think medication is not the answer. because depression usually (ofcourse there are clinical exceptions) somes for certain reasons. you need to figure out the reasons and confront them. oo, its soo hard, but it has to be done. its very hard at the beginning, but later its worth it:). but this commenting idiot, pardon, idiots are everywhere. you need to
If what we read is correct 1/3 of people in the states are medically obese. Those making remarks about you, to you have bad manners ... I do not pay any attention to such lowlifes and you need not either. You have hundreds of supporters out here in youtube land. My best wishes to you ... Anne in England
I know personally from councelling that any situation or comment we colour in with our own experiences. Your truth may not be the real or intended truth. This comment has hurt you because you felt he meant you are fat. If so, it was very hurtful. However it could also mean he didn't want to ignore you (as they often do to fat people) and therefore made a simple comment meaning| the parking lot is a long walk for you. Plz don't take this wrong but analysing later on perhaps it wasnt meant mean ?
Stop making these vids,they won't help you. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Feel angry,feel disgusted,feel "fed up" and change your life. I did it years ago (I was as big as you) I stopped playing the victim and started kicking my butt. I went jogging with everybody teasing me and nobody believed I'd make it. I stopped obsessing on myself and food and started helping others who were in need and had no chice (we have one). I started helping at an animal shelter instead of wasting time bingeing.
I'm sorry but you have to quit observing others and wondering if they are judging you. They could be judging or they could not be judging, why waste emotion and thought on something you will never find out? Regardless, you are a big woman, yes - but you look as human as anyone else.
You remind me of me so much. I have been watching your videos for a couple of years and so many times you say the thoughts I have in my head out loud. I am a total binge eater, and I don't think that will ever go away but I have to learn to control it as much as possible. I know anxiety is a huge contributing factor to it.

Yes!! this is sometimes exactly how I feel. I'm on medication too...I haven't been to school for 2 months..I literally stayed in bed...let's pray that we get better!
This came up out of nowhere on my suggested and all I can think is wow now you’re married to a wonderful man and have two perfect babies ❤️
I once read that 'our addiction' is to be regarded as a gift .. that that specific addiction is our special way of getting to know ourselves through external experiences. I like how you embrace your addiction. AND thank you for sharing

Aww! I'm so sorry, honey! I understand how you feel..your feelings do not sound stupid! But you DO deserve happiness! Hiking is possible! baby steps!

Thank you for doing this video. It really hit home with me. I have struggled with depression from an early age.
I know this is an older video but this is like listening to myself. I can relate to everything! I need to watch your newer videos but I hope you are doing better! I am trying one day at a time but its not easy at all. I am fighting like hell with my depression and dealing with the med go round. Its very hard.
I'm so sorry that you hear those things. That makes me so mad. You are clearly such a good person and its so sad that people can be so awful. I am so proud of you for being so honest....(continued)
You bought tears in my eyes I am very touched but it doesn't matter what people say, it counts inside you and you have a beautiful heart so don't think like that, you can make a stunning wife it don't matter about your size it's the beauty that lies in you and you are :')
i totally understand this: "i'll be fine and then all the sudden it's like i have a hard time getting any motivation to do anything.... " This is horror. If you don't suffer from depression you won't understand it. i can imagine that it's hard to understand. But i know how hard this shit can be...

I love how you are able to be so open and honest with everyone. Dont listen to the as*holes saying crap. You have already lost so much weight & you know what? 95% of the people who call you fat would NOT have to power to do that. So you are really getting the last laugh not them
If I was there I would have smacked him, what a jerk. Body shaming is so horrible :(
i know how tough depression can be....you inspire me...try to stay strong...you are in my prayers ;)
You are honest and real and I bet you are very kind,
Hang in there! If people make crude remarks when you are out and about in public... just remember this... There isn't something wrong with you... there is something wrong with them to think it is acceptable to judge people by how they look. I often find that people who makea these comments are sad inside or have their own issues. You are a great person and weight does not determine a persons worth. Just remember that. You are doing great!
Interesting, creative, inspiring, thoughtful, calming, caring, friendly, engaging - that's what you are to me :)
I think you are incredibly brave and inspiring. Try not to be so hard on yourself. You are awesome. Keep your chin up.
i totally agree. Wonderful woman.
This video breaks my heart. I'm so sorry people are like that. You are such a kind, beautiful person and I wish I could get the chance to meet you. I feel the exact same way you do with a lot of the things you are dealing with. I've been battling bulimia and major depression for years now. Please contact me if you ever need or want to talk to someone. I truly understand how you feel. God Bless.
You really are so sweet. Don't think that you don't deserve love just because of being plus size!!! That's so awful :( my heart breaks for you because you really seem to be such a kind, loving and caring person - who deserves so much love & happiness. Don't ever feel like you'd need to change yourself first to make everyone else happy, because THEY should love you for YOU. xoxoxo
Hi I hope your getting on alright. I just wanted to say keep up the exercise,healthy eating etc. and you'll see a real difference in no time! And just ignore those ignorant people who stare, they don't know you or what you're goin through. Hold your head high and be proud of yourself! I know the depression may be an obstacle for you but try to keep positive and remind yourself of all the good things in life like family and friends. I hope these comments are helping you keep positive.
I feel exactly like this. I've had a lot of comments looks stares.
You are worth it. Don't let anyone make you think differently
I understand u I'm going through the same situation
I commend you for the courage you have to share your views. If you rewind and watch your video, you will find the idea " how flawed you are" behind every sentence. Let me assure you one fact: You will never be able to enjoy your life to the fullest until you deal with your deep rooted shame. Forget about your weight, address the issue of shame and your weight will disappear. I also assure you that I love you as a human being, not as an obese person. Take care. I send you lots of PEACE and LOVE!

sending you so much love!!!!!!!!!!! i hope your depression is gone now.. surrender it to universe, it will help you, it will heal you ..... xxx
Watching on Easter Sunday
I have been struggling with my weight for as long as I can remember. I understand when you say I feel like the "Fat Girl" in the room all the time. I still do. Self esteem has always been an issue for me and it still is. I think it will always be. I personally think you are beautiful. I hope you can see that too and I hope you know that people love you. I hope you find your smile soon. :)
Thank you for sharing!
can I just say, you are beautiful. I am not just saying that and I dont mean 'if you were thinner' kind of thing. like, your face. all of you. you are really, genuinely beautiful. stay strong
you're fine...the only issue is your health. Drown out the ppl who think they know you and giving good advice. how u wanna feel, look is all up to you. from personally experience, there's a lot of joy and satisfaction that comes from not eating and know ur getting healthier take it slow..yoy'll be shocked at how fast the weight/fat comes off..and you'll grow to love the new, better u
And I have also experienced feeling like I can't have a relationship until I lose weight. I struggle with body image and I still tend to compare myself to other women and sometimes feel less beautiful and somehow, therefore, less deserving of relationships...its fleeting, but its there...(continued)
If u want to start feeling better I recommend u to do everything in ur power to get urself In a better place...and pls don't wait to lose weight to jump start ur life...find an awesome guy to stand by u who knows ur goals...I wish u luck and happiness, forever:)
please just stay true to yourself. you are a beautiful person, you can do anything you want to in life. Stay true to getting healthy, many people believe in you
I totally understand it is a visceous cycle,you get depressedand dont want to go out.I am the same way.
Try watching Dan the Rejuvenator..raw foods Dan the Man, he is soo inspiring. I too struggle with this, and just watching his videos have helped and inspire me so much!
I have been fat and skinny. I yo yo all my life. Being addicted to food is so hard. It's a constant struggle. Its the same as any other addiction except our addition makes us fat.
dont worry about that guy. u have an amazing personality, how could u nit see tht is wht im wondering.
What also helps me is that I remember that HURT people.......HURT people. They hate themselves, their lives, and their jobs. So if you're in a good mood they want to break you. Also your average person doesn't read the Bible, hasn't graduated from college, and wasn't raised by married parents. So you have to look them and think, "Are you an idiot?" when they say something rude. No matter what, keep walking, don't reply and they'll soon figure it out.
your gorgeous and we all struggle with all kinds of addiction mine is also food. it's so hard but we gotta pull ourselves up and love yourself more. that's advice I'm having a hard time following...
know that we all have faults and its very hipocritical to comment on others faults. already this thought should give you strength. and the other thing is always stick up for yourself. never listen and turn away. is it feels unfair you have to say this to that person. ask, what gives you the right to judge me, are you flawless? i used to take all kinds of crap silent, no more. i am never rude to those commenters, but i always respond. and usually they are ashamed. be strong and react:)
i can completely relate.
Dear Jenny,
I'm at work. It took me 16 minutes to eat breakfast, but only 9 minutes to eat lunch
For breakfast I read web site articles.For lunch I watched videos which is the same as watching tv
Here’s the kicker.
I was only going to eat one veggie burger, at lunch, and eat the other one on the way home
I mindlessly eat the other veggie burger while watching videos…tv
Goes to show you, watching tv and eating leads to issues
Do you have any advice for me about over eating?..i love food....and this picture is not my weight now. I am 15 pounds more..but i am very out of shape. Can you give me some advice?..WHEN I AM depressed i eat...when i am bored i eat
what meds are you on for depression? do they work?
As long as somebody else's opinion is more important to you than your own, you are letting what other people think of you control your life. I know how hard it is to get out of that hamster wheel of emotional self-sabotage, but here are a few things you may want to think about:
1. These people don't know enough about you to be able to judge you.
2. Since not very many people come right out and say what's on their mind, you can only *assume* what they are thinking. Do you really want to make yourself miserable on the basis of an assumption?
3. What people throw at you says a lot more about them than it does about you. They are dealing with a gigantic inferiority complex. You think that what they say is about you, but what they are really doing is trying to make themselves feel better.
4. And don't forget: not everybody out there gets a pleasure out of hurting other people's feelings.
WHAT A LOVELY, BRIGHT, AND WONDERFUL YOUNG WOMAN YOU ARE.
Crying bc I feel you :'( I want help
wow..
God! That guy is a JERK, your body is not his (or anyone else's) business. Don't let those people get you down.

If you PM me your address I have a book I would like to send you. I see the wall you are building around yourself and I would like to encourage you. I had that wall almost finished and had almost completely cut myself off from the world. There is hope and people who care no matter what you look like. You look human to me! You are worth listening too and reaching out to.~God bless.
Very sad video. U let 1 old man bring u down and during this whole video u have mentioned everything that u can't do right because of weight. Your sabotaging yourself and giving away your power to others. Why? You carry yourself so well in grace and voice. You need to stop putting yourself down. You are your own worst enemy. You can't change yesterday you can only start today and start being the lovely girl you are. No one can hurt u if you don't let them.
God Bless and keep true to yourself
I am overweight an in a depression. And had someone said that to me, I know I would have said, "Yea I'm fat, and I can lose weight. Your stuck being ignorant and rude."
I have not seen my mom or family in 15 years, because I do not want them to comment about my weight. They make me feel worthless.
I think you are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!
As bad as it sounds I usually just stare back at someone if I find them staring at me then they realize what they're doing - and to the old man, I would have just said, "Your an Ass" and kept on walking.....The older you get the more intolerant you become to people being jerks.
Ok So whats wrong being fat? I think the best people are fat and we are all different. We all can't be the same. There is skinny people, people in between, fat people, muscle people and we are still all different. Self love is the best thing you could do. It's not a big deal that your fat. We all have our own addictions.. it could be food.. or even just relationships. It's just not fair that people just look at fat people differently. I am gay and we get judged also.. or if your from a different country.. or if u just don't look normal..
How are you doing now ? It was brave for you to post this video but I’m proud of you sis!
I don't understand people who make comments like that.
you seem sucha a beatiful person, your face is beatuful:). depression... i have been overeating whole my life and still trying to get better:). i think medication is not the answer. because depression usually (ofcourse there are clinical exceptions) somes for certain reasons. you need to figure out the reasons and confront them. oo, its soo hard, but it has to be done. its very hard at the beginning, but later its worth it:). but this commenting idiot, pardon, idiots are everywhere. you need to
Next time say, "Yeah, it's just as hard as it is for you to say something nice to people. Have a good day."
I’m sorry , but have velvet in yourself you can do this
If what we read is correct 1/3 of people in the states are medically obese. Those making remarks about you, to you have bad manners ... I do not pay any attention to such lowlifes and you need not either. You have hundreds of supporters out here in youtube land. My best wishes to you ... Anne in England
I know personally from councelling that any situation or comment we colour in with our own experiences. Your truth may not be the real or intended truth. This comment has hurt you because you felt he meant you are fat. If so, it was very hurtful. However it could also mean he didn't want to ignore you (as they often do to fat people) and therefore made a simple comment meaning| the parking lot is a long walk for you. Plz don't take this wrong but analysing later on perhaps it wasnt meant mean ?
lol
Her and Boogie2988 would make the CUTEST couple
Stop making these vids,they won't help you. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Feel angry,feel disgusted,feel "fed up" and change your life. I did it years ago (I was as big as you) I stopped playing the victim and started kicking my butt. I went jogging with everybody teasing me and nobody believed I'd make it. I stopped obsessing on myself and food and started helping others who were in need and had no chice (we have one). I started helping at an animal shelter instead of wasting time bingeing.
I'm sorry but you have to quit observing others and wondering if they are judging you. They could be judging or they could not be judging, why waste emotion and thought on something you will never find out? Regardless, you are a big woman, yes - but you look as human as anyone else.
You are very rude. If you don't like these videos...don't watch them. Exercise all that self-control you're boasting about, and leave.
