U are pretty, no worries.

This was an amazing deep dive into a subject I didn’t know much about, and your detailed research combined with your personal experience made it all the more persuasive! Thanks for sharing with the world and for posting on Nebula. I originally found you there and it was good to see you posting again :)

Thank you For the spécial techniques to remember information 🧠 And i am soo excited to know more about this

Elizabeth, this video was so inspiring. I truly believe all the information you’ve brought forward should be more commonly known and shared because it would protect a lot of people from the inevitable body shaming we all experience some or probably most of our lives!! Thank you for all the hard work you’ve put into this video! ❤ you’re a star 🌟

How much did betterhelp pay u 😂

I stopped watching at 11 seconds because of the better help sponsorship. I’m done with creators taking money from shady companies. Bye.

My main struggle is studying vocabulary. I love learning languages and I'd say that I am also quite good at it. But I CONSTANTLY forget to review my flashcards (on Anki or anywhere else)😥 Then two weeks fly by and I realize I haven't even opened the flashcard set once! I just forget and then beat myself up a lot, because I could have learned so much in that time. It happens over and over. And I don't know what to do...

Thank you for this different perspective, it's nice to hear a different approach than the regular "work smarter, not harder" I needed this gentle and soft reminder and outlook.

I really appreciate the amount of work and effort put into this video. I think the intentions of sincerity and kindness show through, even if there are moments of ‘imperfection.’ I see a lot of comments here nit-picking the sponsorship of it all, and I think they should possibly reconsider whether they’ve fully grasped the video’s concepts. It highlights the massive, inescapable influence that surviving under extreme capitalist circumstances has on human capacity for choice and ability to perform outside its demands. Rather than criticizing the individual, criticize the system in place causing these forced choices. Overall, this is a strikingly well-put together analysis and engaging presentation that weaves together many intersections of social theory to shed some insight on an extremely complex fundamental topic of health and wellness. Yes, there could be things done differently, some aspects further emphasized, perhaps even more internalized biases and responsibilities that could be handled differently. I do not think that removes the (very high!) value of this effort to inform and empathize. Viewers should always look to hear more voices and perspectives on topics like these regardless.

I've been fat shamed my whole life starting in elementary school up until I lost weight in college. I didn't care at all about it when I was in elementary though. I mean, I was a child and didn't really understand but the fact is that I didn't care what they thought. Not until a maybe a few years later, after I had my tonsils and adenoids taken out, I ate more after healing because for months I literally couldn't eat anything that wasn't liquidous. My mom took me to a dietician who put me on a strict calorie restricted diet where I had to log all my food and made sure to not go over that limit. It was ~1,200 calories and I was starving all the time. We were already poor as it is and that didn't help at all. So all the food I was eating was sugary and not good for me at all. My mom didn't care and didn't think about puberty and how it would slim me out, like it was doing before the dietician, she just saw my weight and made her own conclusions. Eventually, she stopped taking me and the caloric deficit I was faced with was made up even more with unhealthy food, so once again I gained all it back plus more. After that I was put on the birth control patch to help with menstruation cramps -- during that time I became the second highest weight I'd ever been in my life at 12/13. Found "comfort" in eating. Stigma, judgment, shame, life conditions/circumstances all contributed to this later on as well. Like you said, no healthy body image for almost my entire life.

thx

you are very beautiful . and thanks for the important points. i think i need to restructure my learning methods

Thank u

This video was so powerful to watch! I am so in shock and I hope it blows up! Everything your said was so poignant. Thank you for making it!

Small correction, in German "Schön" doesn't have the double meaning you are describing. At least not in modern German. The closest I could come up with was "gut" / good (used in good person/ good looking) like it would be in English

omg, such a intense overview of this topic, this video is insanely ate this up, apprectiate ur research on this, also looking forward to more videos about this topic or similiar ones to expand this whole conversation or knowledge formation!

i put this on while working out and the section about how victorians liked thin, fragile women made me add a few more reps to my set. theyd have a heart attack if they saw me

Heya, just wanted to put a note here regarding my segment and thinking on Victorian corsetting, as I’m seeing lots and lots of comments on it! As someone who absolutely loves Karolina Żebrowska’s channel, most of my prior personal information on historical clothing came from her and similar videos - I also thought that corsetting was never as exaggerated or sensationalised as it’s been made out to be in media. I’m not a historian, and I may be completely mistaken, in which case I genuinely genuinely apologise, my intent was never to mislead anyone and up until this research I very much shared sentiments with everyone in the comments who’s pointed out that tightlacing was never as widespread or damaging as previously believed. However, all the information I used to research for this video (I’ll link them again at the end of this comment) showed what I described in this video: that unlike prior corsets, which had been looser, more like supportive clothing and bras, during the Victorian Era the style of corsets changed such that they became much more restrictive and tight, enabled by metal eyelets and the new tightlacing. Larger skirts and padding were added slowly by women in attempts to achieve the look without having to restrict themselves as much - so I felt I had to use this information. What made me lean towards believing this more in the end, was the fact that flap surgery (which repairs burns) was actually developed and later used widely during WWI due to the huge number of women sufferring burns which were made more severe and common due to their massive and uncomfortable clothing. I read the book written by Dr Mutter himself in 1843 (linked below) where you can see in his own surgical notes that the female patients he operated on were victims of burns to their clothing, which alligned with the information in other sources too. I realise I sound awfully defensive, though my aim is to just describe my thinking for this segment, because quite a bit of thought went into it on my part! But I’m very very open to having my mind changed back, and welcome both challenges to the sources I’m linking here and extra sources for me to read. Please note KZbin automatically censors any links posted, so any comment with a direct link cannot show up, but if you take the time to add your thoughts, please give a title of an article/paper and the name of the site it’s from, hopefully we can all that way find it! Lastly, I really want to apologise for any annoyance this framing has caused, I really was terrified of making this video, one of the main reasons being my delving into themes and topics in which I am definitely not an expert: like history. It saddens me to see I’ve actually frustrated quite a few of you and made you feel I’ve wasted your time and completely discredited all information once I mentioned the corsets and that era, so I do apologise for that! I definitely could’ve done more work on that segment, and probably shouldn’t have allowed myself to have had my mind changed as quickly as I did, but it wasn’t from little material! There were a few books and papers that corroborated this, even though my beliefs clearly may suggest a complete lack of reading in this direction!

Every medical student should see this 🥲🥲 it was so insightful. Thank you Elizabeth for all your hard work making this

Wait, why are you repeating medical opinions about corsets from people who didn't understand what tuberculosis was yet? And said awful misogynistic things about women? They clearly don't know what they're talking about and cartoonists lampooning fashion are definitely not experts. You're claiming women had deformed ribs and organs while showing DRAWINGS. These are all myths. Tight lacing was a rare extreme fashion. You know working class women wore corsets every day too, right?

I had a bmi of 40 with insulin resistance, leading to a bariatric procedure. The discussion on the obesity pandemic hit hard and I'm so glad someone else has decided to open that can of worms. In Beligum, where I live, we have an insurance based health care system that refunds 70% (more if private) of doctors visits and hospital treatments if prescribed. They discovered that funding bariatric procedures in severe cases meant that they didn't have to pay for cardiovascular problems, pulmonary problems, diabetes, and other weight related side-illnesses. So the morbidly obese, or those of a bmi with a severe enough side-effect, are eligible in the university hospitals for a free intervention. There are also cases where loose skin removals can be partially refunded as well. This is how governments can step in to tackle this issue.

"they may run so far they may never be caught by a boy"i know we have plenty of examples, but it still appalles me how its normalized that women are caught and cannot choose.

Me: Oh cool, i stumbled across a new cool tuber This video is sponsored by Better... Me, oh great, another that just takes any sponsor without a care for their viewers. ✌️

every time I go to my doctor for my diabetes I have a major set back with my ed. most of the time it's in remission but I have to go tomorrow and last week was horrible, just because of the stress. they say everytime losing weight is not the goal but I have been told so many times that I'm to fat and when people hear I have diabetes they always ask type 1 or 2, just to decide if they should blame me for it. I have type 2 and it's not because I'm overeating, I am not fat because I am overeating. I have multiple health issues that cause this. the fact I have to stand on the scale tomorrow (why if losing weight isn't important) is causing me so much stress. sorry for the rant 😅 this article is so understanding, it helped

I LOVE that you pointed out how overweight people are shamed as being lazy but pointing out that we are overworked and tired. So by the end of the day, do we want to do a full workout routine? No! We want to do activities that give us the most pleasure and little energy spending as we can in the small free time we have.

10 minutes into the video and i decided fuck it let me go eat my pizza, thank you 🩷

You are the powerful creator..... you create everything in your reality and you heal yourself with your words and your thoughts the same way you can make yourself sick. You don't need to Outsource anything to a doctor or a parent or a teacher for them to tell you anything about yourself. Everything you've always needed has always been within.... keep the focus their ;-)❤

Use José Silva Method ❤

This is absolutely fascinating. I learned a lot. Specifically the direct connection between money and calories and with the algorithm proving that the less healthier choices still became the logical ones at lowest finances. That. Is. Insane. Once again proof that these issues are extremely systemic and blaming individuals is once again very useful, especially while continuing to push contradictory products from all angles. The madness.

Love the video but please don’t support Better Help. There are a ton of other options for convenient, affordable, and RELIABLE therapy. Sincerely, a licensed therapist.

This was an awesome video 🎉 I didn’t realize how similar Victorian modesty compares to Islamic views today.

Really loved your video!!

absolutely captivated by how well you executed this video essay ❤️‍🔥

sorry, ur video seems great but i cant support creators who partner with betterhelp, clicking off

You got corset from that era COMPLETELY WRONG they wouldn't be able to do such a tight lacing since whale bone is flexible, what gave the illusion of a small waist was the act of padding both the hips and the bust, while is true that female fragility was ideal, being thin wasn't the only way to archive that. Tight lacing as we know today is fairly recent due to the creation of steel boning to replace the whale material. Corsets were also used by the poor and actually helped a lot to distribute weight of carrying heavy loads all day. While you can tighten a Victorian corset there's a limit to it.

I'll take a few "therapy" sessions with you, Elizabeth. San Diego, Cali 92126 😮

how many of my paintings do you have, Elizabeth? 😮

now thats a really good essay to think about (and its kinds funny that I found out about a lot evidences of my own suspictions)

This video reminded me that being fat is a sin and I need to confess to my priest about my glutinous sins.

I feel older than I am, too. I think it's my eyebags. People keep getting filler in that area and in contrast, I feel ten years older than I am (I'm 21).

If someone can help me at all I really have no idea how to access who she's talking about!? The only thing I'm hearing her say is something that sounds like..andada jade? ???

This is a really interesting video but theres a lot of misinformation about victorian beauty standards, corsetry and consumption here. A lot of our modern misconceptions like tight lacing was common, women were expected to have tiny waists and women tight laced to the point of causing health complications comes from fearmongering articles and pamphlets written by men completely exaggerating the issue - women, including upper class women, werent going around sacrificing their health and basic mobility and more often the hourglass form was achieved through padding, not waist reduction. Extant garments from the time confirm this as corsets built for tight lacing are not common. Corsetry also didnt make women more vulnerable to consumption. This is a case, again, of male observers writing during the period attempting to find a scapegoat for the tuberculosis epidemic - which was likely pretty much entirely caused by rapid urbanisation - by blaming women for the issue. Them writing about other health complications is also sensationalist speculation. Yes, tuberculosis in women was romanticised, as were other serious health issues like hysteria and eating disorders - but again, you have to remember authorship here. Women themselves were not writing about how awesome being unwell was, and if you look at where this romanticization actually comes from its more of a literary phenomenon than anything rooted in reality. I would guess that these portrayals had a similar impact then to our toxic romanticisations of illness today - we might see countless glorifying portrayals of female mental illness in media but this only actually appeals to women and girls who are already unwell, and its not exactly considered mainstream. All of that being said, the cultural impact of these ideas is undeniable and worth highlighting so none of this really undermines your general point. Also, check out nicole rudolph, shes a fashion historian and has made videos covering this topic.

I’ve been reading a lot lately about the microbiome and it’s link to EVERYTHING health related, including mental health. The use of Glyphosate (Round up) is higher than ever, and with everything I’m learning I still feel anxiety when I look at the price of an organic vegetable/meat grown in a natural way. I think one factor in the difference between weight of the rich and poor is how drenched in pesticides our food is.

This is an amazing video! Great work
