Chatty Life Update: Why I've Gained Weight, Quitting Youtube at Uni and My Mental Health!

Hope you enjoyed this chatty lil life update! These are always my fave sort of videos to film :) - hopefully i worded everything correctly!

[@jack_edwards]

Proud of you always ❤️ (p.s. don’t put too much pressure on yourself to vlog every single week - from personal experience it is very tough to film at uni as most days are just studying / deadlines!!! I can’t wait to see all your amazing new content but please please please allow yourself to settle in properly without having to commit to a vlog every single week)

[@rhiannasaglani7404]

Legends supporting legends. LOVE ITTTT. Good luck to both of you for Uni, you've both kept me motivated to keep my head up and knuckle down for Year 11. Thank youu

[@blackswan4570]

you are so nice , Jack ! and Eve I love your content

CONGRATS ON 150K EVE!! Got my herbal tea and my cake and I'm excited for the catch up ✨

[@UnJadedJade]

So much respect for you with this body image/weight chat. 💛 As a young teen especially, I really really struggled with body confidence (largely due to social media as well!!). I love that you're talking so openly about it as I think it's something every teenage girl goes through. EVE YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL. You really truly are xxxxx

[@UnJadedJade]

YESSSS bloat is normal. the jiggle is normal. stretch marks and rolls and feeling happy and healthy is bloody beautiful 💃

[@RevisionWithEve]

So much love for you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@admiralackbar5765]

'Something every teenage girl goes through.' -So it's just girls that go through it?

[@Lucy-hq7jl]

Admiral Ackbar nobody said only teenage girls go through it. Of course many other people do as well, but the audience for this channel is largely teenage girls and from my experience a lot of teenage girls do feel this way. I don’t think anyone was trying to disregard anyone else’s feelings/experiences. 💛

[@HollyGabrielle]

wow. eve, your past relationship with food all sounds too familiar 😳 the instagram toxicity, counting calories, ed, awful body confidence etc. BUT. the most important part is that you've moved on and grown out of it. trust me, you will continue to just move away from that mindset and learn to embrace what you look like. and that all just takes a lot of time. i am such a foodie now. i love food and never restrict what i eat. yes, we eat very differently, but that's ok! for me, it was uni that taught me how to cook yes haha, but most importantly, look after my body. your mind, brain, body all needs fuel to do what it has to do! and especially at uni where everything can get, slightly stressful at times shall we say 😂 anyway, sorry for the ramble, but i loved this video eve, and on a final note, it just has to be said i'm sorry . . . girls with small boobs UNITE 😆

[@RevisionWithEve]

and OH MY GOSH i feel the same about being busy: i thriiiiiiiiive when i am busy!!!!

[@eviehallitt8122]

holly you are actually the best, loved to see your comment on this video. this resonated with me too - thank you x

[@faginnyc]

I am such a foodie too. I think there's a misconception towards veganism. Vegan muffins and other pastries exist and Oreos are vegan. Although it is generally important to eat wholesome foods, which I am trying to incorporate from watching your videos Holly. xo

[@caryslara1313]

Eve you haven't gained weight at all you look exactly the same don't worry we all love a good takeaway now and again now matter how stressed you get at uni please remember to look after yourself xxx 💕

[@alexthompson5172]

tbh i can't tell that you've gained weigh at all really

[@celaenas3016]

Some types of clothes are very good at hiding fat by being baggy, also some people don't show weight gain as much as you'd expect, e.g. she may store most of her weight around the thighs/stomach and not on her upper half

[@CharlotteVictoriaB]

Love you Eve, and all the best of luck at uni, so insanely proud of you! Spend as much time on yourself and if you don’t feel like posting/ filming then we all understand 💓xx

[@iffahrahman42]

Hey girlll! Totally agreee x

[@ClassyMufffin]

i appreciate how transparent and unapologetic you are in this video, your body and lifestyle is so similar to me and a lot of other young girls and yet you inspire me to work hard to get the best grades that i can because if you can do it then i feel like i can too 😊

[@mmh607]

Hey, that was so brave of you talking about your body. Especially showing your stomach when knowing that many ppl will still judge you

[@kaliyahbower2752]

The way you addressed the issues with your figure really hit home for me. I used to be obsessed with being skinny until I was literally dangerously thin. I thought it was right and I would be accepted by society by looking like that but then standards changed and I developed depression and anxiety which then caused for me to binge eat. Stress? Binge. Upset? Binge. Bad day? Binge. Sure, it had the benefit of saving me from going into anorexia but it also meant that I have big hips and thighs. Although that's currently sexualised now, I'm not really happy with it. I don't think I'll ever be happy within my body and how it is, I'm too afraid to wear bikinis, crop tops and anything of the sort. I'm on the slow journey of self acceptance - i'm not like a model but I'm kind of at peace with that. Having someone like you who is relatable in that sense really helps so thank you for addressing all of this.

[@hannahwarren376]

This is so inspiring because I’m in a similar situation, I’m in a good friend group, but everyone is smaller than me and still saying ‘omg I’m so fat I need to lose 1 stone’ and it used to make me feel bad about myself but now I’m starting to realise that my weight shouldn’t be causing me that much stress and that I should love myself ❤️

[@imbored-4052]

Hannah Warren I wish I could be like you😭😓

[@hannahwarren376]

Tehami Ibnat it’s fine you’ll get there in the end. I’m not even close to loving myself but you have to realise it’s a journey and it may take longer than you expect but you will get there in the end ❤️ just remember you’re beautiful and don’t listen to anyone who says your not x

[@philippaettrick7012]

That's exactly right!! Being skinny isn't ever meant to be the goal of life! I hope that if people are weighing you down, you can drop them and disregard any negative comments.

[@hgriffithshlg]

My friendship group’s the same! I love them but they all say “omg look at how much weight I gained over summer” when they are all still thin. They almost compete to who has the “jiggliest” legs and I’m just here with more “jiggle” and feeling rubbish :(

[@slickjumpedoverthelazydog]

Yep it is really inspiring

[@virginiacastiglione8879]

get your intolerance tested it's a life changer. It's just a blood test and once you get rid of the problematic food: 1- the bloating stops completely and you look like a before and after dieting picture (at least in your stomach) 2- you're in a better mood because you're not digesting food all the time 3- you have more energy because of the same reason as 2 Speaking from experience :) do it! make it a priority!

[@tiatwining7254]

Virginia Castiglione I need to do this

[@MGMG0]

I definitely to this

[@celaenas3016]

You’ve completely destroyed the point of the video. You’re not meant to idolize the “Instagram model figure”. If you’re getting you’re tolerance checked for any other reason except for medical then it’s destroying your body confidence.

[@virginiacastiglione8879]

Celaena S yeah I got my intolerance checked because I had to dash to the bathroom to poo every time I finished a big meal and couldn't sleep at night sometimes because of stomach pain. The whole bloating thing going a way was more of a welcome side effect? and doing intolerance checks won't change your body shape or, for example, the size of your legs. It just gets rid of the bloaty appearance of the stomach that looks like that because it's working overtime to digest things it's not supposed to digest in tge first place 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@gracemcallister3164]

your platform helps so many young girls to be confident in themselves :)

[@blackswan4570]

so true

[@levkawright2403]

Eve, you’re such an inspiration and I never really considered your looks, because no matter how you look, your intelligence and intellect definitely overshadow your physical appearance (although you are very beautiful!)

[@charlielavin8712]

Hey lovely! Just the other day, I was thinking at how lovely your legs looked in those jeans, so it took me back a bit to watch this video. I know my 1 compliment won't change how you feel, but just know I think you look great! Also it's totally okay to feel how you feel :) xx

[@slickjumpedoverthelazydog]

I like Eve figure

[@SarahPortlock]

So glad to hear that you are not quitting KZbin. Since I started watching your channel about a year ago, you have helped me so much with your study tips, and now that I'm in Year 11, I am definitely going to be using them. I also appreciate how you're able to stay so grounded despite things like mental health, weight and university. Your attitude is really something to look up to. Thank you.

[@becca8470]

I get you with the eating issues; I’m 15 and I was doing exactly what you were when I was 14. I had to be perfect model figure, I had to be slim and I couldn’t eat more than set amount. Eventually I did get help though which is still in progress, I’m a lot more healthy now but god it was a long road to get here. if anyone in this comment section is struggling, just know it doesn’t matter what your weight is and I know it’s easier to say than think, but one day you’ll all realize your true beauty ✨

[@LaurMedley]

proud of you ❤️

[@slickjumpedoverthelazydog]

I an so proud

[@Mirunaki]

Oh God Eve everything you mentioned about your toxic relationship with food and your body mirrors EXACTLY what I have been going through for the last 3-4 years😳 It all hit very close to home because I, like you mentioned, would limit myself to under 700 calories a day, obsess over weighing myself and refuse to wear any remotely revealing clothes. And the worst thing is that I was actually proud of myself. I thought that I was being ‘healthy’ and that I was on the way to finally becoming ‘thin’ and ‘attractive’. It’s always been something that I’ve been really ashamed of, but hearing you talk about it so openly has made me feel so much less alone, so thanks for that. It really means a lot❤️

[@candyfloss2404]

There needs to be more people this lovely and honest on the internet. It's so refreshing to see someone that you can relate to!! I've just started year 13 and have loved watching you over the last couple of years. Wishing you the best of luck with living Oxford dream, you deserve it 💖💖

[@s_ade9969]

I just wanna say huge respect for having the conviction and CONFIDENCE to openly speak about a topic like that in the video. I think you’re stunning and shouldn’t see yourself any other way.

Your videos helped me through my GCSEs so much, your Folder video helped me get through the first week of Sixth Form and I’m sure you’ll help me get though A-Levels. I love your videos and can’t wait for more content ^_^

[@annemarietimmers779]

I love how passionate you were about the weight topic. You really said things that needed to be said. I personally can't wait for university themed videos and am looking forward to weekly vlogs!

[@pippa1515]

I also struggle with weight and how to feel about my body and I understand you so much but Eve honestly ( and these are not empty words) I think you‘re a bomb and you look perfect as you are. And the fact that you do not focus so much on this „food“ aspect just shows that you prioritize more important things, and they seem to make you really happy so that’s perfect.

[@ellamai6520]

OMG Eve ! I think you just saved my life lol 😂 for the past 3-4 yrs I have been so conscious of my weight counting calories not allowing myself to have a slice of my own birthday cake recently it has just gotten to much . I finally feel like I’ve found a healthy role model not as is vegan but as in one with a good mental attitude! I am 13 and surrounded by stick thin people which for me will never be realistic bc of genes , and like you I have big hips and small boobs , I also have large thighs and a kangaroo pouch of fat around my waist that just won’t goooo . It is such a relief that I have found someone with a similar figure and understands the importance of treating yourself but at the same time knows good from bad . Thank you SO much for this video !

[@naomicarter6261]

You go girl! It's definitely time for people to start to question the default to 'thin is beautiful' and 'if you are thin you are happy'. It just not the case, being happy and healthy is so much more important, and recognising that is the first step to getting there! It's also important to realise that healthy does not mean vegan and doing weights every day, it's eating a balanced diet with a variety of food groups and getting outside for a walk or bike ride (whatever floats your boat) fairly consistently. Good luck with finding your confidence, you deserve every ounce of self love there is ❤

[@lauraj2294]

I thought I was so fat when I was 12/13/14 (I was 11 stone and 6 foot) I ended up downloading one of the calorie apps and in a year I was down to 9 and a half stone but I had also grown to 6’3. And I hit a wall I wasn’t able to lose any more weight I remember being so frustrated at my body and started restricting even more (I was eating 300 calories a day). I’m now 10 and a half stone and happier than I ever have been I have a healthy relationship with food and looking back on myself I looked so ill.

[@Catsithe]

6'3??!!!!!!!

[@floraknowles328]

thank you for sharing your story! when i was about 12-15 i struggled with anorexia and i didn’t even realise for a long time because i just thought i was so overweight; it wasn’t until the last year or so that i realised how disordered my eating was. now i’m a size 14/16 having gained weight due to complications with medication and i’m still self conscious, of course, but i’m happier with my body now in many ways than i was then. so thank you for sharing your experience as it helps people like me feel better about ourselves and like i can share my experience

[@jennydagnall2423]

Eve, I’m actually older than you (22) but it doesn’t stop you from inspiring me. You are an amazing, honest and really down to earth young lady and a really positive role model to so many young girls. Keep doing you ❤️

[@emilyadeline1046]

It’s so great having someone to relate to who, despite their lack of body confidence, is still extremely successful. My role model x

[@user-pb6lg7wg9u]

It really got me when you spoke about excessive calorie counting and body image because I also used an app that resulted in me eating 600/700 calories a day and feeling even worse, still affects me now as I know how many calories there are in literally everything! Love your chatty videos Eve xx

[@celestinaparkinson4650]

Eve thank you for sharing your weight story. My struggle with anorexia is ongoing but when I was weighed at the doctor’s the other day I found out I’ve just tipped onto the bottom of the healthy weight range for my height❤️ I’m learning to nourish the body I have and not to punish it. xx

[@StormyKathryn]

I relate when you said "why can't people be happy with how they look" but also hating how I look everytime I look in the mirror. Part of me thinks I should love how I look because that's me but then I also look at myself and hate it

[@evelynward2539]

Thank you so much for addressing the weight topic, I’ve suffered from a toxic relationship with food since I was 13 and I feel like this has cleared some of the stigma surrounding the topic for me personally, by sharing your story for others to relate to! Love your channels so much! ❤️ xx

Your attitude to everything is inspiring, and I hope young girls/teenagers are watching this and taking everything you said on board because you’re so real and down to earth, and you’re someone they should be inspired by, not the unrealistic youtubers/instagrammers that some times seem as if they’re taking over social media! Carry on being you, because you’re amazing 😘. I’m looking forward to following your journey through university 😊💕

[@MGMG0]

I've had a eating disorder. I have always had bad body confidence which is due to my extended family (especially my grandmother , dad's mum) judging my weight and my body image against my other cousins who are girls and are older than me and are slimmer than me. I also get so bloated during my period and that has always happen . What you have just said is so true. Don't put pressure on yourself when you are at uni, if you can't vlog during uni then don't worry your mental health comes first. You are my favourite KZbinr 💖

Hey Eve! I’m usually a silent viewer but after watching this video I couldn’t help but feel it was necessary to leave this comment. I have been a subscriber since around 5k on ur main channel it’s so crazy. I would just like to thank you for being so open and honest with how you’re feeling, as an influencer it’s so easy to almost waste your platform by not talking about important issues. But wow! You never fail to use your platform in a positive way and about the numbers and subscribers, I agree that it’s not about that, you’re making more of a difference than someone with 5 million who doesn’t speak about important issues like you. All in all, I think you’re great (and look great) 💖 and thank you for using your channel for such important messages

[@alessandracatana2640]

I just wanted to say that the first fifteen minutes or so of the video were just so real and I think that a lot of us teens need to hear this, there is no "perfect body", of course we all want to be healthy but we need to be careful with how far we push. So thank you so much Eve for talking about this. Good luck at Uni and you will do great ❤

[@meg6835]

it's really amazing to be reminded that body confidence is a long and difficult process - often it feels like you can't reach the point of living your body so it isn't worth trying. Thank you for talking about the dangers of instagram, and being 'normal'. You're absolutely stunning, and I hope you get to a point where you can see that

[@justadiamond4961]

Eve, you are so strong 💗 It's so strange to think now what was going on behind the camera all those years ago... 💔

[@emilyspain8366]

Only half way through so far, but I needed to hear this. I think it’s so much better to enjoy food and work on having a good relationship with food than be unhappy to please society’s standards. Thank you Eve, I really needed to hear this as opposed to “no food tastes as good as skinny feels” and all that nonsense xxxx really, thank you xxxx

[@MeganBloomfield]

I 100% relate to what you said about the eating disorder! I've always had a slim figure by genetics but when i was 14 for no apparent reason I decided i wanted to lose some weight. It started as being healthy but I lost weight very easily and then started to get a buzz off of people noticing I had lost weight. I got the calorie app and then i fell into the competitive stage and every single day i lowered the amount of calories I consumed. It got to the point that i was continually shaking as my body just wasn't getting enough food. it wasn't until my teachers started getting involved that I finally realised what I was dong was wrong. It's scary that in the space of just 3 or 4 months i went from a normal diet to eating a maximum of 600 calories a day and saw nothing wrong with it! It's almost comforting to hear that someone else has been through a similar situation. I'm glad you're finally starting to be happier with your body xxx

[@gem3630]

I can relate to your struggles with food at 13/14/15. I also began calorie counting to lose weight but it quickly got out of hand and I ended up eating almost nothing everyday. Now I have a much healthier relationship with food but I still worry that my little sisters will get into the same habits as I did because of all the added pressures from social media. Thank you for speaking up about this and reminding everyone that its okay not to look like the models you see on Instagram and the 'perfect' bodies all over KZbin!

[@dominika4868]

normal poeple representation! yes! love Jade and Holly a lot but sometimes can’t relate to them at all - their eating habits are too perfect, their figures (esp. Holly’s as she’s a dancer) too nice. But as you grabbed your belly fat I grabbed mine and felt a real connection (also the underboob fat roll - same omg) hahahaha thank you for not trying to be someone you are not, I feel like if I saw this video when I was 13-14 it would have helped me a looot and yay for uni vlogs! I think they’re my favourite youtube content 😂

[@ashclouds2139]

I know it wasn't the point of the video, but hearing about you talk about bloating kinda comforted me! I hope that's not weird, but I'm like that too due to IBS which is my biggest insecurity and really makes me panic about living in halls at uni, but hearing you just quickly mention it made me realise it's okay and human, and that at uni I shouldn't be embarrassed or nervous about what I can't change about my body!:)

[@kirstyr1790]

This video is so beautifully honest ❤️ I think it's something so many people struggle with especially with what is presented in the media. All the best for uni - you'll smash it 👍😁 x

[@dilo7911]

Dear Eve, I found your channel recently and fell in love with your humor and your lovely personality. I can totally understand you and think you are brave to talk about weight issues and society's ridiculous expectations. One should feel good in their body and should try to maintain a healthy lifestyle. At my A levels I gained a bit but starting uni just messed around with everything! I gained 15 kilos and my mental health, due to stress is an utter mess.. I started losing weight even though it's annoying and not easy, it helped me finding a nice way to balance my life and also more importantly finding myself helped a lot. I love watching your videos and would totally miss them, if your channel disappears, which hopefully won't. I think it's a good Idea to vlog and please don't stress yourself and find your way to de-stress. Stay the way you are and thank you for sharing your life with us. Grüße aus Deutschland, es macht mich sehr glücklich, dass du Deutsch nun anfängst zu studieren. Ich studiere Englisch und Philosophie aber wie man wahrscheinlich erkennen kann, muss ich noch an meinem Englisch arbeiten =D

Eve, this video was just pure amazing, just completely honest about life and that's what we all need 😊 Have an extraordinary time at uni!

[@annaruddock6931]

I love you so much for sharing your story about your weight. I had a similar thing around the end of year 9 where I became very obsessive over weight and would go up and down from periods where I ate very little to the opposite. I had similar things every time I tried to lose weight since (as I have gained about 20kg since then) and have eventually realised after a few years that I am too much of a perfectionist to not let it go too far and although I'm not entirely happy with my body, I've come to terms with it and don't think about it much. Have a great time at Oxford - you thoroughly deserve all the success you have had so far.

[@eleanortaylor3494]

never feel like you have to justify yourself, you're amazing in every respect and people love you for being real! always proud of you girly xx

[@annamckeon8935]

Thank you so much for everything you do Eve

[@rraychul2]

a size 8 and a size 10 is below the UK average. it makes me so sad that Instagram has changed the way people want to look and affected people's mental health. I had an eating disorder in my teens when bebo and MySpace were the only social medias. even then my disorder was escalated. I followed countless pro Ana blogs and I watched countless thinspo KZbin videos. It scares me that there is even more available now to young people with a bad mindset

[@ellabella8672]

I dont normally comment but I related to this video so much, being a perfectionist can be so mentally draining and exhausting. You are so beautiful Eve! The most important thing is being healthy, and healthy is whatever that is for you personally- no two peoples healthy is the same! Having a positive relationship with food will always be 1 million times better than striving for an unrealistically perfect figure. I respect you so much for filming this and showing a normal figure and I am sure one day you will be able to love your body! Please ignore any horrible comments about your weight, your mental health is and always will be so much more important xxx

[@ellabella8672]

Also with the being at home thing, again I totally relate. Whevever I am relaxing (in my mind being unproductive) I feel like I am wasting time and I should be doing something more productive- even if I dont have anything I need to do! I try to keep myself busy but it would be nice to be able to relax without feeling like that ! xx

[@maddie2253]

Honestly you are so inspirational, I struggle with my weight and just to hear someone say it’s normal makes me feel so much better, I will always come back to this video when I feel bad about my weight. So thank you honestly keep doing what your doing thank you

[@geeharrod272]

Hi Eve, let me just preface this by saying that I don't expect you to remember me or reply to this, I just wanted to thank you for making this video. I'm so glad you're talking about weight issues and body confidence. I had the same experience at school and even though I've recently let myself gain weight and I try not to fixate on it, I still struggle with how I look and I weigh myself constantly. It's something that a lot of teenagers go through and I feel like it's especially difficult in single sex environments. Most of my friends at our high school were very slim or athletic, and it made me feel different and ugly which lead to a myriad of mental health issues and low self esteem. Perhaps you'll disagree with this statement but I feel that the atmosphere at Girls High was quite competitive, and it makes it very easy to put pressure on yourself and strive for perfection (which is what you did and what seems to have paid off, lol), or to give up and be the class clown (which I think it's fair to say I tried to be) as a defence mechanism when you're dealing with low self esteem. Anyway, I'm glad you're feeling a bit better about your weight and that you worry less about counting the calories. You're very talented and there is nothing wrong with the way you look. Congrats on 150k subscribers and on getting into Oxford!

[@keeleywaters201]

Eve, I can’t even explain how much I can relate to this video 💕 everything you described about your eating habits has happened to me x to know that someone else has been through what I have is so comforting 💕 thank you for sharing ❤️ also, your figure is absolutely gorgeous xx

I love you Eve! I struggled a lot in Year 10 with body weight, and I'd "punish" myself by not eating whenever I felt low or bad. I forced myself to normalize the feeling of my stomach grumbling and empty, and I had gotten to my lowest when I was trynig to limit myself to 500 calories and lower a day. It put everything into perspective when my dietician told me that the brain ALONE needs 500 calories to function a day, and with a lot of support, I got a lot better. Sometimes I do feel self conscious, but I'm getting a lot better. This video really hit home and I am so glad you're sharing your experiences out there with people like me who have been in a similar situation and are still trying to find pride on our bodies, and people that are struggling currently with how they look. I too am an 8 at top and 10 on bottom, but I've learnt to accept that and hearing it from one of my favourite youtubers just reminds me that I should be proud of who I am. Thank you so so much, Eve. :)

The little chat about weight made me feel so much more confident because I feel exactly the same as Eve! Thank you for talking about this on your KZbin, it's so helpful😚 I wish you an amazing time at Uni! xx

[@evierobinson3813]

You are the biggest inspiration Eve! I've followed your channel since your GCSEs and you've been so fab in providing me with motivation! I'm applying to Cambridge to do English in a few weeks, and wanted to say thank you for all your advice, it's been so helpful! Can't wait to follow your uni journey, I love your study with mes so would love to see lots more in September! Big love xxx

OH MY GOD. This is what i needed in my life. I am neither too fat nor too slim , just like you are and it's been a month since I have come to uni and i have felt such inferiority complex , everyone here dresses up and looks pretty and beautiful and I did too during the initial days and even joined gym, but Uni makes me so tired that i could not continue that and it stressed me out about my weight. and all these days I have been stressed out even more but then this video came along and my life is much better now! Thank you Eve, you're the most amazing person on the planet. I love you.

[@molliep21]

Your chat about body confidence honestly described me word for word. Luckily I've never gotten to a bad relationship with food but I do look at my body and hate it sometimes. I can't describe how good it felt to hear someone put into words how I really feel because it is hard to understand yourself sometimes. I'm glad you acknowledged the fact that you're still not happy sometimes and about gaining weight on your period because same girl! It's OK to not feel 100% sometimes as that's just the way life is. And yeah I don't really know where this comment is going but I just wanted to thank you Eve for being so real and honest because it means a lot and you really are comforted by knowing you're not the only one who feels this way. Xxx

[@sergiualexandrugaga8653]

*It doesn't matter how you look, cause you are a role model for many teenagers and not only* (including me) There are a few people who got to Oxford and you did it, so you should be proud of yourself! You're just amazing and one of the most productive people I've ever seen ! Lots of love🤩😍😘❤

[@SaloNevella]

Honestly, I think you look amazing and because you’re happy you can really tell. I think you have a really nice figure with or without “pudge”! Also I really hope you can do the blogs because they are some of my FAVOURITE videos to watch. I’m glad that your mental health is improving because again you can really tell from your videos that you’re feeling ‘better’. Keep doing you Eve, you’re a massive inspiration for a lot of people 💕💕

[@izzyklein5344]

I’m so proud of you to have gotten out of your dark phase Eve - you’re stunning, bloating and rolls are normal, and life is too short for dieting! I can’t stress to you enough how beautiful and wonderful you seem on your channel❤️❤️❤️

[@luisaojeda5611]

I was so close to crying because I really understand you and relate to you, honestly I don't think you don't have an idea of how much impact you are generating by simply showing your true self without unrealistic standards and goals that are not meant for everybody. Thank you so much eve for everything you do and keep killing it

[@sophiswearing2068]

Honestly Eve the chat about weight really got to me! I really hit me, I had the same experience at 14, dropping to 7 stone and in my head I wanted to get lower and lower, which is ridiculous to look back on now. It's mad what toxic friendships/relationships can do when you're so young. I'm going into my 3rd year of uni now and I want to say that I think uni will really help with your self confidence!! It's been a struggle for me, obviously cooking your own meals and being able to control all of that, it can get quite negative but I think uni helps. For me, I realised that to get the grades I want in uni and to reach more goals, I had to put the right things into my body and eat when and what I wanted/needed. I wish you all the best at uni and you should be so proud of yourself! Self confidence is never easy but you've came so far! 💛

[@rory956]

YES EVE YOU'RE KILLIN' IT! this was such a motivational video! from someone who struggles with food and weight as well it's so nice to see someone who's been through the same things be so positive and realistic about their body. you're not always gonna love your body (most will never be happy with some aspect of themselves) but saying 'it's okay to not be stick thin' is so important tbh

[@couldntclaireless]

Eve I respect you so much for talking about unhealthy relationships with food. people so often don't realise that disordered eating isn't just waking up one day and being controlled by food, it's having any relationship with food which means that you have to think about that you eat in a non intuitive and meticulous way. proud of you for realising this and happy that you're healthy and getting on the way to happy

[@oliwiaewa]

This was so refreshing especially the part where you addressed how you have gotten better and tried to get better with not being the best at everything! Its something i really struggle with and it really hit me watching this! Thank you for being so transparent and honest and real!

[@kieranbrookes3487]

Eve whatever you choose to do you will absolutely smash it! Got my GCSEs next year and am proper scared but your videos always help me feel better about how I'll tackle the exams. Congrats on your uni acceptance btw you deserved it!

[@SexyLlamaFeet]

Eve - I love the big speech about your attitude toward food. I have suffered so much in the past four years from similar attitudes toward food and your words really inspired me. Thank you so much x

[@issykite1965]

I so relate to what you said about toxic friendships affecting the way you see your body and self esteem. It was so comforting to hear someone else talk about the fact that friendships can have such a huge impact on the way you see yourself ❤️ I’m so happy to hear you have got to a point where you feel healthier and happier. Loving your channel as a recent subscriber xx

[@jodieclarke6387]

Best of luck Eve for this new chapter of your life, I'm so excited to see where it takes you! Looking forward to the weekly vlogs but don't put too much pressure on yourself! Wish I had a role model like you when I was in school. Even though I'm in my 20's I do find myself relating to your channel! xx

[@sairaafreendarr]

I’ve had issues with my body ever since Year 8, and now I’m off to uni, and hearing your story and your updates about weight make me so happy to hear. Like you get so many people on KZbin who have amazing bodies (as is yours!) and it get really hard because say, I’m watching someone and I’m like they’re literally my age and I don’t look like that. I’m so so happy for you and how you’ve developed and I really wish the best for you. I have big body issues and I hope to overcome them and have a healthy relationship with my body. Sending you so much love 💓💓

[@harrietho8336]

I'm proud of you, stay strong Also, it is important to eat even when you are stressed, you may have a busy schedule with all your assignments and deadlines, but it is still really crucial to still include your 3 meals a day, to stay on top of everyhting and making sure your health is balanced

[@isabeljenkins1040]

this video helped me. it wasn’t like lots of other videos saying “you shouldn’t compare yourself to others” you were saying the facts as they were which is different to many other youtubers. i also like how you are SO accepting of your body. WE NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE YOU💗

[@beckygriffiths]

Eve your courage of telling your subscribers about your previous history with food is beyond amazing. I related so much to this video. I've never been happy with myself because my friends are all so much smaller than me. I've never felt confident to wear a bikini or a crop top and this video was so real and so raw and so brilliant. You are incredible and you inspire me so much

[@louise3894]

Aw I loved this video. I’m in year 13 now and I know I really need to dedicate more time to studying to get into uni (I’m hopefully doing dental hygiene and therapy) so that means less time at the gym, and I have never been able to be strict with eating, I eat what I want when I want! I just want to have a balance this year, Thankyou for this video❤️

[@Hanannijim]

Gurlll your body’s gorgeous! There’s literally nothing wrong with big hips and being curvy it’s attractive be damn proud of it, your mums genes are a blessing x

[@emilyseymour2349]

It’s so nice to see a KZbinr that’s so genuine and realistic talking about the bad and the good and not being afraid to speak about your strengths and weaknesses is so refreshing !

[@megansmith8188]

I was in a similar situation - I was in a toxic friendship group who made me feel bad for not being stick thin. I’m still working on my self confidence after their bullying xx

[@Scarlettlovesmusicx1]

I don't know whether you'll read this comment, but I really just wanted to say thank you. For a lot of things, honestly, particularly for talking about this important topic. It's something that I can massively relate to, after struggling with an eating disorder for the past 6 years of my life. I have now come to a point of acceptance of my body and my mental health is better than it has ever been with regard to my body image and self-esteem. And, watching your videos, hearing you talk about this and sharing your experience is uplifting and motivating for not just myself, but I'm sure so many others xx

[@nicoleturner2559]

This is honestly perfect timing, Eve. I also got very close to an eating disorder when I was around 13-14 and still 3 years later I feel so horrible about bloating. As I am typing this I feel awful with bloat but it is normal! I love the little chats you do because you are so down to earth and I just wanted to say thank you, I hope you have a wonderful day and good luck at uni xox
