Aurey you have NOTHING to worry about. Don't let someone put pressure on you because you think they're more attractive or anything. You're looking absolutely amazing even in this gym outfit thing
Aurey, don't worry. I think I speak for a good portion of the people watching this when I say we support you. You're so beautiful already, but I do think I understand why you're doing this. (and by the way, I think your beauty is 200/10. 😊😘)
Thigh gaps are awful, it means you're extremely healthy! You currently look beautiful and extremely healthy as it is, I understand that you want to look good, but you already do! Great video as always.
+avery dotts Note: 3/4 of people think you're over an 8(With or without makeup(I realize you don't feel that way all the time, but a lot of people do feel that way about you.)
So glad you posted this. I'm getting married in October and so many people have slighted judged me for deciding to "diet" for my dress. I'm not doing it to lose pounds. I'm not doing it so I can be a size 4 walking down the isle. I'm doing it because I've been wanting to be at a healthier point in my life. I let myself get too comfortable in my lack of drive and got to a point where I was unhappy with myself. I get where you're coming from and it makes me happy that you're doing this because it's for YOU and no one else. I don't want flabby arms or a bloated looking stomach in my 1920s inspired dress. If I lose inches or pounds, great. Not as big of a deal with the other stuff. Living a healthier lifestyle makes you feel good, and having a 7 yr old to chase after daily probably gives you more energy, too! Rooting for you while you do this and so stoked to see your results on the show! Good luck! 💜
If anybody can accomplish their goals, it's you. You get shit done, Aurey. Plain and simple. I admire that so much. Also, that asparagus makes me so hungryyy.
I completely agree with the points you made! Why is it that people always get mad at me for wanting to look good for myself? It's unfair, and I'm proud you're making videos that touch on more difficult topics. You truly are such an inspiration
Thank you!! You are right it's so hard to talk about body confidence and self love especially when you are talking about adapting your body at the same time and I think you did a wonderful job. The main thing should be health not what size you are or which celebrity you look like. I struggled with my weight for a large section of my life and it really knocked my confidence. I did not love myself. It's difficult when you see in social media everyone saying "REAL women have curves" and "She looks like a SKELETON". Well I am a REAL women too and I don't have curves. We come in all shapes and sizes. I've been borderline underweight my entire life and when I got sick last year with meningitis my weight shot right down. Sometimes it's hard still but I got to a point where I love my body, even though I do plan on trying to gain some weight and that is most certainly not to please anyone else, it's for me.
U r right but guys like girls that have bigger parts of there body.i am not trying to be a jerk and I don't know what u look like but that is what I think
zachary Meehan Just as there are different types of bodies, there are different types of likes and preferences. YOU may like women with bigger body parts but some other dude might like a more skinny girl. I´m not saying your opinion is wrong I´m just saying that you shouldn´t generalize because you could offend someone. As she said in the comment: "REAL women have curves" or "NO ONE would date a skeleton" are very offensive comments so if you say: "Guys like girls that have bigger parts" then it starts to sound like the other ones. Your opinions and preferences are yours. They are not wrong but not EVERYONE agrees with them.
zachary Meehan I don't live my life to please others with my appearance. Even if what your saying was the truth it wouldn't effect me. I am naturally smaller and not as curvy as the average woman so for me you are pretty much being a jerk by making your comment in the first place. And I can confirm, not all guys go for curvy figures, just like how not all girls go for muscular guys.
I love that my kids look up to you...you are such a great person inside and out....and you are very Beautiful....I have teenagers that love your vids.....and they need to love themselves and their bodies. ...to feel confident like you. Thank you for putting this subject out there in a healthy way.
Self Love is hard, I been having trouble of not comparing myself to others and making myself feel down bc I was not them or not getting the attention like them. SO I have been trying to learn to love myself no matter what others look like, or what is in style. Just trying to be healthy and learning to love myself is what everyone should work towards that. So dont compare yourself to Liz and Yammi, you are pretty too in your own way. Good luck Aurey!
I think it is awesome you are trying to lose weight for yourself instead of for others. You are going about it a healthy way and for the right reasons. Thank you for talking about a major issue in society, body confidence, with a level head and doing what you can to feel just that little bit better.
This is why I love you, you are teaching others that don't listen to what others think about you, and that you need to worry about how you feel about yourself, and I think everyone needs to have that mindset. You are a huge inspiration to everyone Aurey!
Being happy in your own skin is what is important. Always good to see you talking about topics that are so over commercialized these days. Love your videos Aurey. Keep up the good work.
+Abraham H its not called being a white knight, its called growing up and understanding women's mentality. Because of assholes around the world, girls think they have to be perfect. And because of social media, they compare themselves to some of the 'sexiest' girls in the world (which is mainly due to plastic surgery and other uses of shit tons of money). None of that is true. Honestly, this guy is doing Aurey a favor, and helping her condfidence. So props to him, and if he gets called a white knight for it... So be it.
Dreams Of Dragons Fire Pretty sure giving a girl false promises shouldn't be lauded. She knows she's not a 11/10. She even said it in the video. 11/10 doesn't even exist. There's only a handful 10/10 girls in the world anyway (like Selena Gomez).
Boo is so lucky to have such a confident and smart-thinking mother, I hope I can be as good of a person for others and my children when I get to that point in my life. Your videos always make me strive to be a better person, and you do such a good of it!!!! :)
It is so amazing how people will project their own insecurities on others who are doing the right thing for themselves. You are doing what you need to for your health (physical and mental) and that is awesome.
Aurey. You're a full time working single parent like myself. Fully understand your drama. You're beautiful and healthy, the palm grab of the camera at 1:00 in shows it. Skin looks healthy. 😂 But seriously glad you're proud of who you are and keep your positive attitude. My youngest loves your minecraft channel and you're an idol to us both. Stay strong. From one single parent to another, you got this girl. 😊
I don't see why you feel like you cannot be in the same league as the other TH-camrs. You are so freaking beautiful and who cares if you're a little curvy, I'm a curvy girl and I'm more than okay with that because let's face it curves are way better. I am taken aback by how beautiful you are in every video and not only are you physically beautiful but inside as well and you should never compare yourself to someone else. The eating right and exercising should only be for yourself and no one else. Love you, Erin!
I think you can be body positive, but work on yourself or do things to make you feel better. Also, I think it should be noted that eating healthy shouldn't only be equated to weight loss. I mean when people see you eat healthy it shouldn't be discouraged because you're already healthy. I think you're gorgeous at the weight you are, and you'll be gorgeous at your goal weight. Also, I have a tip for couscous. Bring your water to a boil and add the couscous. Then remove it from the heat and let it sit for about 7 minutes. It will absorb the water, and then you just fluff it with a fork.
You do what makes you comfortable! I know it's great having people telling you how beautiful you are (and you are beautiful) but it doesn't mean anything if you aren't truly comfortable with you! Love ya xxx
You definitely hit the nail on the head Aurey 😊. It should be up to the person living in their own skin whether or not they're comfortable and if they are happy, if so that's all that matters! My sister recently gained a bit of weight but she still feels comfortable and confident and that's great! I'm the opposite where I've always struggled with body confidence so I'm working on it in hopes of eventually feeling comfortable in my own skin. You do you and thank you for the video! 😄
Aurey, I think you are so so beautiful, not just on the outside, but your inner beauty reflects on the outside and makes your smile so happy and bright
Aurey I'm glad you are doing this for yourself and not for anyone else. Glad you are doing it by choice and not under pressure and I hope you get the results you are looking for and it makes you happy. 6 is pretty harsh on yourself, you are a beautiful woman and a wonderful person
I've been struggling with an eating disorder for 6 years now. I am currently back at my healthy weight and am working to just maintain it so I can get pregnant. I personally at my healthy weight am more curvy and have wider hips and no thigh gap (which has been so hard for me to accept but it's part of recovering). If Aurey wants to work on herself for HERSELF and in a HEALTHY way, then she should. Especially when she said "I went to the personal trainer, not with my goal being to lose pounds but to tone muscle and just be healthy." Of course I agree that Aurey is already 100% beautiful and doesn't NEED to work on herself, but if she wants to work out and change her eating habits to just be healthier, than of course she should go for it and have all of our support!
Whether or not you believe what you say about yourself not looking good, you have a ton of natural beauty. You are absolutely gorgeous, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
I think it comes down to this: YOU get to decide how to you want to look and no one gets to tell you how you're going to accomplish that. Make up, no make up, big, small, muscular, thin, dress, sweatpants, etc. Good luck, Aurey, on your journey to become the happiest version of yourself.
Well it's sweet that you don't want to offend anyone, Aurey and, for the record, you have a very lucky guy. Your care for others has a physical effect too. I met you at PAX South and you were very warm and inviting, just like in your videos. It can be just as nerve wrecking for fans to meet you as it is for you to meet them and I didn't feel that once with you so thank you for that. You can have the body confidence conversation and still want to change your own body. There's also nothing wrong with wanting to have a little pride in the body you're in or just be comfortable with it. In the end, it's not other people who live with your body every day so why not have one you like. So, with that said Aurey, know that of the other copresenters, I can guarantee you that you will be the main one I'm looking at, makeup or not, revealing clothes or a hotdog suit.
When I see your face There's not a thing that I would change 'Cause you're amazing Just the way you are And when you smile The whole world stops and stares for a while 'Cause, girl, you're amazing Just the way you are Ala: Bruno Mars
When you are done cooking something and letting it cool remove it from the burner, the metal grates retain heat and will keep cooking you food for short period of time which can make your food be overdone. With what you were talking about in the video I completely agree. People need to be comfortable in their own skin above anything else in my opinion. However there is a fine line where you can get to comfortable and disregard any criticisms as well. Like when you hear stories of "fat shaming" and people getting upset because there doctors told them to lose some weight. That's just crazy.
Crazy timing. I've just been thinking "hmm, PAX East is coming up and I can actually drive there. I wonder if Aurey's gonna have a "hug me at PAX East" thing?" Then I look in the mirror and think "no correct beard length is gonna make that huggable, and no smaller gut is gonna make me less awkward. Maybe I'll just spare her that awkwardness and stay home." Having confidence issues sucks. When you have your own mind set on something there are plenty of times when no amount of honest feedback to the opposite will convince you of otherwise. So props for doing it for yourself and for doing it in a healthy manner. Now I'm gonna go hide...
Dear Aurey, Hi it's older shelby you don't me but you have helped me grow. I first subscribed when you did the building thing (by sethbling) with captainsparklez and you were the very first girl TH-camr i have encountered. This was back in like 2010. I unsubbed from you about a year ago because I felt I have outgrown you and the minecraft community, but I came back just for nostalgia and these videos have definitely made me smile about you and myself. Thanks for being amazing and my somewhat copilot through not really my entire life but i guess the last few years. Keep being who you are, tell boo hi, (don't worry this isn't goodbye ;) ) and thank you for the inspiration and confidence building TH-camr
I think eating healthy and exercising is great! But know you're beautiful and Lizzie and Yammie aren't a mother of a 7 year old so you're doing pretty well. I remember when I first saw your channel I was 9 at the time I wanted to look just like you when I grew up. I hope this boost how you feel about yourself.
Sometimes its not necessarily about changing your look, as much as it is changing how you feel in your own body, and knowing your body will reflect that good health! I follow you on twitter and this is the first vlog of yours ive watched. Yes you are absolutely beautiful, and if you feel beautiful because you feel healthy, then that is a positive improvement and i fully support you! you have a great attitude and I hope you reach your goals! best luck! xoxo - Kate
Erin, real talk: you're friggin' gorgeous. (Take it from a bi girl right here, you're really attractive.) Body confidence is super hard and I'm proud of you for doing all of this to work towards feeling better about yourself and stuff like that. Body image is something I struggle with but dance, swimming, and badminton all help me (because they're fun and don't feel like working out to me :P). Super excited for you!
Your body is as perfect as a body needs to be. Your bobs are fine, you have a very nice torso figure and your thighs and legs are nice too. Also, you say that it is more about you being confident with your body. Without being funny, I think that people that have that attitude have deeper seated issues, and no amount of physical alterations will truly make you happy.
I would say that you are a 15/10, with or without makeup. You keep being who you want to be, and do what you want to do. As a great song once said: "Live a life you will remember".
I've had mono a few times. it takes you out for at least a solid month. I'll never forget the call from the Dr when he said congratulations you don't have leukemia it's mono. Apparently when my stress gets too high my immune system starts to fail and my mono comes back. don't be afraid to take time for yourself ever. mono is for life
Erin you are beautiful, and if this is going to help you feel beautiful, I applaud you. Also you are a very hard working woman, with another person to talk care of, who you have raised well, this shows true beauty. I love you and your videos, I hope you understand how many people could agree.
Body confidence is a important factor in life everyone should be confident but not everyone is they should be but some people are not all you must know is most people in public are not concerned with you (a stranger) and your body so don't worry about your image if people don't like it they probably won't pay attention as will everyone else
Aurey, you are a beautiful and independent woman, and you really shouldn't be worried about how you look. You're just as beautiful as Lizzy and Yammy, and you'll be beautiful no matter what you wear or how you look on the outside because you're a wonderful person who is passionate about what they care about. Bottom line: don't sweat it. You're amazing.
I get how you are feeling, I've been feeling the same way lately and I am also looking at what I am eating more lately. My boyfriend says he thinks I am beautiful just the way I am, but I just would feel more confident if I would lose some weight and be healthier.
It's a hard thing to talk about in a healthy way and you did a great job and are awesome out and in, keep up the good work :-) Side note, allrecepies has an awesome "Chicken with Quinoa and Veggies" recipe.
Aurey you are beautiful. I agree that it should be more about how you feel yourself but I just thought I'd share that your Vlogs always make me feel important.
Girl, if you're just a 5 or a 6 I'm a -2. :P But I'm glad this is something you're doing for yourself and your self-confidence! I totally get why too. At a certain point you stop caring so much about how you compare to others, because there's only so much you can change about yourself. But you still want to be the best possible version of yourself, because that makes you feel happy! :)
+Lucy Dowling 1. I said that jokingly. (I realize that it is sometimes hard to convey humor over text, hence the hyperbole and the :P at the end.) 2. The first sentence is really one of the reasons for the second part! When I compare myself to other women, my self-confidence drops and I end up with actual comparisons that are nearly as inaccurate as that first sentence. That's why I've stopped trying to compare myself with others (except jokingly - I have a weird sense of humor) and make myself happier by just being myself. :)
I've gotta say, the only reason I think a thigh gap would be nice is so you don't wear out pants on the inner thigh as much. That's such a pain. Also also, good on you for doing all that you do to stay fit. I really need to get back in the gym myself, and portion control is never a bad thing.
I feel the same way Aurey! I am built about the same as you I feel... Though I have a pretty big stomach pooch. I have been wanting to flatten my stomach for forever bit nothing works cause I don't stay on myself with eating well or working out... And sometimes I feel really bad about not looking like other skinnier people. I needed this talk really bad! Thank you for doing this vlog!! It helps! Also have you ever thought about doing periscope??
How you look shouldn't matter to us, to me especially, we just want you to be the happiest Aurey you can be, and for you to feel as though you are, or are becoming the best Aurey you can be!
this comment section makes me still believe that not all online people suck...... good job folks people have been complimetary, supportive, etc.................. good job
I just wanted to tell you that you are beautiful and im not talking about your body because thats a no brainer your obviously gorgeous but your mind set and personality is one of a kind and only excentuates how beautiful you are all around
+TripleThreatTrain. You sayGod doesn't love you, but I'm here to tell you that God loves you. He sent his only son to die on a cross for sin. He's given you a ticket to heaven, because you won't be able to make on your own. If he didn't love you, Jesus wouldn't died on that tree. He loves you that much. Just remember that.
The problem we have today is that everyone focuses on how you look too much. People too often lose weight to "look better". For people who are majorly overweight, your reason for losing weight should not be primarily to look better. That is just going to make you distressed and make you feel bad. Your focus should be to get healthier. You aren't doing it to please others, but so that you feel better and can have a better life.
I paused it right at 8:07 when she was saying "right?" with her hand out. Oh my Lord she looks so much like Chad its ridiculous. In this freeze frame you guys could be siblings ^.^
As a King I decree that your body is gf goals
Aurey you have NOTHING to worry about. Don't let someone put pressure on you because you think they're more attractive or anything. You're looking absolutely amazing even in this gym outfit thing
She's beautiful :3
+DfieldMark Aye it's Mark
Mark watches Aurey? :o
+DfieldMark OH MARK :P
Dfield kinda creepy tbh. Not mean just an opinion
100% true and totally agree
Aurey, I hate to break it to you, but you're pretty darn attractive.
Aurey, don't worry. I think I speak for a good portion of the people watching this when I say we support you. You're so beautiful already, but I do think I understand why you're doing this. (and by the way, I think your beauty is 200/10. 😊😘)

You're super intimidatingly pretty too yanno!!!
Yes, even without makeup! :P
I love that my kids look up to you...you are such a great person inside and out....and you are very Beautiful....I have teenagers that love your vids.....and they need to love themselves and their bodies. ...to feel confident like you. Thank you for putting this subject out there in a healthy way.
I hate it when hot people think they're unattractive like OPEN YOUR EYES AUREY YOU'RE JAW DROPPING

I would say ur attractiveness is 11/10 no matter what!

I've been struggling with an eating disorder for 6 years now. I am currently back at my healthy weight and am working to just maintain it so I can get pregnant.

This is inspiring me to be healthier and more active. :) Thanks for the motivation!!

Well it's sweet that you don't want to offend anyone, Aurey and, for the record, you have a very lucky guy. Your care for others has a physical effect too. I met you at PAX South and you were very warm and inviting, just like in your videos. It can be just as nerve wrecking for fans to meet you as it is for you to meet them and I didn't feel that once with you so thank you for that.
You can have the body confidence conversation and still want to change your own body. There's also nothing wrong with wanting to have a little pride in the body you're in or just be comfortable with it. In the end, it's not other people who live with your body every day so why not have one you like.
So, with that said Aurey, know that of the other copresenters, I can guarantee you that you will be the main one I'm looking at, makeup or not, revealing clothes or a hotdog suit.
that asparagus looks bomb omg
Ew.
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause, girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are

When you are done cooking something and letting it cool remove it from the burner, the metal grates retain heat and will keep cooking you food for short period of time which can make your food be overdone. With what you were talking about in the video I completely agree. People need to be comfortable in their own skin above anything else in my opinion. However there is a fine line where you can get to comfortable and disregard any criticisms as well. Like when you hear stories of "fat shaming" and people getting upset because there doctors told them to lose some weight. That's just crazy.
Crazy timing. I've just been thinking "hmm, PAX East is coming up and I can actually drive there. I wonder if Aurey's gonna have a "hug me at PAX East" thing?" Then I look in the mirror and think "no correct beard length is gonna make that huggable, and no smaller gut is gonna make me less awkward. Maybe I'll just spare her that awkwardness and stay home." Having confidence issues sucks. When you have your own mind set on something there are plenty of times when no amount of honest feedback to the opposite will convince you of otherwise. So props for doing it for yourself and for doing it in a healthy manner. Now I'm gonna go hide...
I hope you're able to meet your own goals Aurey. Loosing weight is hard, good luck with it, know that we all support you no matter what though.
Dear Aurey,
Hi it's older shelby you don't me but you have helped me grow. I first subscribed when you did the building thing (by sethbling) with captainsparklez and you were the very first girl TH-camr i have encountered. This was back in like 2010. I unsubbed from you about a year ago because I felt I have outgrown you and the minecraft community, but I came back just for nostalgia and these videos have definitely made me smile about you and myself. Thanks for being amazing and my somewhat copilot through not really my entire life but i guess the last few years. Keep being who you are, tell boo hi, (don't worry this isn't goodbye ;) ) and thank you for the inspiration and confidence building TH-camr
You're gorgeous Aurey, never forget that, love you 💖💖
Erin, you're beautiful no matter what people/society say.
the opinion of a random internet dude might not have much weight, but i find your image one of great beauty.
I think eating healthy and exercising is great! But know you're beautiful and Lizzie and Yammie aren't a mother of a 7 year old so you're doing pretty well. I remember when I first saw your channel I was 9 at the time I wanted to look just like you when I grew up. I hope this boost how you feel about yourself.
aurey your advice and thoughts are so wise! I can completely relate! thanks aurey
You are so beautiful and such an amazing person!
i good that your able to talk about it and be open on the topic
Sometimes its not necessarily about changing your look, as much as it is changing how you feel in your own body, and knowing your body will reflect that good health! I follow you on twitter and this is the first vlog of yours ive watched. Yes you are absolutely beautiful, and if you feel beautiful because you feel healthy, then that is a positive improvement and i fully support you! you have a great attitude and I hope you reach your goals! best luck! xoxo - Kate
This is exatly how i feel! lot of people dont get it that losing weight or bulding muscle can be for yourself and not for others!
Erin, real talk: you're friggin' gorgeous. (Take it from a bi girl right here, you're really attractive.) Body confidence is super hard and I'm proud of you for doing all of this to work towards feeling better about yourself and stuff like that. Body image is something I struggle with but dance, swimming, and badminton all help me (because they're fun and don't feel like working out to me :P). Super excited for you!
Your body is as perfect as a body needs to be. Your bobs are fine, you have a very nice torso figure and your thighs and legs are nice too.
Also, you say that it is more about you being confident with your body. Without being funny, I think that people that have that attitude have deeper seated issues, and no amount of physical alterations will truly make you happy.
Good luck with the workout schedule, sounds pretty intense. It's always good for your mood to have goals beyond your work too
I would say that you are a 15/10, with or without makeup. You keep being who you want to be, and do what you want to do. As a great song once said: "Live a life you will remember".
I've had mono a few times. it takes you out for at least a solid month. I'll never forget the call from the Dr when he said congratulations you don't have leukemia it's mono. Apparently when my stress gets too high my immune system starts to fail and my mono comes back. don't be afraid to take time for yourself ever. mono is for life
Erin you are beautiful, and if this is going to help you feel beautiful, I applaud you. Also you are a very hard working woman, with another person to talk care of, who you have raised well, this shows true beauty. I love you and your videos, I hope you understand how many people could agree.
Do agree not could
actually flawless though... and don't you pity those workout clothes! you look amazing in everything! O.O
Body confidence is a important factor in life everyone should be confident but not everyone is they should be but some people are not all you must know is most people in public are not concerned with you (a stranger) and your body so don't worry about your image if people don't like it they probably won't pay attention as will everyone else
Aurey, you are a beautiful and independent woman, and you really shouldn't be worried about how you look. You're just as beautiful as Lizzy and Yammy, and you'll be beautiful no matter what you wear or how you look on the outside because you're a wonderful person who is passionate about what they care about. Bottom line: don't sweat it. You're amazing.
Just thoroughly document in pictures and videos how awesome you'll look at that thing.
You may not be in sports illustrated but your definitely in fit mom gamer rainbows illustrated which I think is personally awesoem
A,B,3 according to Aurey
I get how you are feeling, I've been feeling the same way lately and I am also looking at what I am eating more lately. My boyfriend says he thinks I am beautiful just the way I am, but I just would feel more confident if I would lose some weight and be healthier.
Whatever you need to do to love yourself more, go for it. Don't forget quality sleep in the health equation! Take care.
You are beautiful Aurey and I know you will look even greater in four weeks! Also that all this work will pay off!! 😀
Aurey, you are fabulous!
Hi Aurey!! Your videos are amazing, your also a amazing mother for boo! Byeeee
I look up to you so much Aurey, you're beautiful x
And keep working to be the best you that you can be (:
It's a hard thing to talk about in a healthy way and you did a great job and are awesome out and in, keep up the good work :-) Side note, allrecepies has an awesome "Chicken with Quinoa and Veggies" recipe.
Aurey you are beautiful. I agree that it should be more about how you feel yourself but I just thought I'd share that your Vlogs always make me feel important.
You're naturally beautiful, never forget that.
Oh mah gawd Aurey your so beautiful it hurts I genuinely did not believe you had no makeup on
I totally agree but you are absolutely gorgeous
You should be proud of how you look
key thing about say hot mess.... there is still the word hot in it...
Girl, if you're just a 5 or a 6 I'm a -2. :P But I'm glad this is something you're doing for yourself and your self-confidence! I totally get why too. At a certain point you stop caring so much about how you compare to others, because there's only so much you can change about yourself. But you still want to be the best possible version of yourself, because that makes you feel happy! :)
Wow, was that first sentence really necessary ? You ruined a perfectly lovely comment.
+Lucy Dowling 1. I said that jokingly. (I realize that it is sometimes hard to convey humor over text, hence the hyperbole and the :P at the end.)
2. The first sentence is really one of the reasons for the second part! When I compare myself to other women, my self-confidence drops and I end up with actual comparisons that are nearly as inaccurate as that first sentence. That's why I've stopped trying to compare myself with others (except jokingly - I have a weird sense of humor) and make myself happier by just being myself. :)
I've gotta say, the only reason I think a thigh gap would be nice is so you don't wear out pants on the inner thigh as much. That's such a pain.
Also also, good on you for doing all that you do to stay fit. I really need to get back in the gym myself, and portion control is never a bad thing.
I'd say a hard 9-10 in my opinion, you are gorgeous even in your sweaty gym clothes no make up hair a hot mess...just me
Good vlog, great motivation! Keep it up!
Aurey your soo pretty don't let anyone tell you any different
I've been subscribed for like 3 years now i always though you're beautiful no matter what
I feel the same way Aurey!
I am built about the same as you I feel... Though I have a pretty big stomach pooch. I have been wanting to flatten my stomach for forever bit nothing works cause I don't stay on myself with eating well or working out... And sometimes I feel really bad about not looking like other skinnier people. I needed this talk really bad! Thank you for doing this vlog!! It helps!
Also have you ever thought about doing periscope??
super pumped you'll be at PAXEast!!! also, you're beautiful even without makeup and your hair a mess.
How you look shouldn't matter to us, to me especially, we just want you to be the happiest Aurey you can be, and for you to feel as though you are, or are becoming the best Aurey you can be!
Aurey YOU'RE super intimidating pretty!
this comment section makes me still believe that not all online people suck...... good job folks people have been complimetary, supportive, etc.................. good job
Aurey is easily a 7+
70+
I just wanted to tell you that you are beautiful and im not talking about your body because thats a no brainer your obviously gorgeous but your mind set and personality is one of a kind and only excentuates how beautiful you are all around
I love your décor in your house:)
❤️❤️👍🏼❤️ and HAPPY EASTER
don't be so hard on yourself you look amazing. i on the other hand look like a potato lol.
+DiamondX762 I love potatos
+AureyIRL or a post workout strawberry... lol
+AureyIRL your not average you're really beautiful
Potatoes are pretty damn hot
+jar-done with this joke maroon potatoes are the best
Be yourself. God loves you
God doesn't love me :(
+TripleThreatTrain. You sayGod doesn't love you, but I'm here to tell you that God loves you. He sent his only son to die on a cross for sin. He's given you a ticket to heaven, because you won't be able to make on your own. If he didn't love you, Jesus wouldn't died on that tree. He loves you that much. Just remember that.
The problem we have today is that everyone focuses on how you look too much. People too often lose weight to "look better". For people who are majorly overweight, your reason for losing weight should not be primarily to look better. That is just going to make you distressed and make you feel bad. Your focus should be to get healthier. You aren't doing it to please others, but so that you feel better and can have a better life.
I paused it right at 8:07 when she was saying "right?" with her hand out. Oh my Lord she looks so much like Chad its ridiculous. In this freeze frame you guys could be siblings ^.^
