Tess: I don't conform to beauty standards. Also Tess: gets injections so her skin looks better and puts makeup on to hide imperfections, make her eyes bigger, and generally make her face more neotenous, which is typically considered attractive in female faces🙃

Not to mention all the filters she uses on her videos.

What does neotenous mean?

[@user-jb7tq7ko7e]

It means youthful features that wouldn't usually be present on an adult.

[@saphiregood2550]

The issue i have is she MAKING herself more neotenous and most people who actually have those features, HATE them usually. I love that i can still wear pigtails and not look stupid, but i worry anyone who compliments me when i have them in, only thinks its cute because it kimda highlights those features in my face. And if thats why they think its attractive its a little creepy to me, are you attracted to children? Or am i attractive and HAPPEN to have childlike features?? Its a bit offputting for those with naturally younger looking features when people go out and get them to be more attractive. At peast to me and my friends with the same features at least

I’m an ER nurse, and the fat positivity movement concerns me for a lot of reasons. You pretty much said it all in the video, but if I can make one addition, I’d say that I don’t think members of the movement realize that being morbidly obese compromises your ability to care for yourself. I can’t count how many times I’ve cared for a patient in their 40’s, 50’s, or 60’s (who should be completely capable of walking into an ER room and laying on a bed) need to be wheeled in, and lifted onto a stretcher by two or three nurses. As a caretaker, you still care about them and want the best for them, but it’s frustrating when you’re injuring your back taking care of someone who doesn’t make much effort to care for themselves.

[@petmomful2260]

Yeah, just watching a few episodes of my 600 pound life has made me realize that I want to be able to take care of myself, walk my dog, run around with my grandchildren, etc, until I am very old.

Are there people who pick on them just because of their size? Yes. But plenty of people are just turned off by their personalities. Also, in regards to the not working out, "you don't owe anything to anyone!" how about yourself? You owe it to yourself to be healthy.

I would argue she owes being healthy and fit to her kids. I grew up in a household where both my parents took poor care of themselves and now I'm trying to undo some of the things I was taught as a kid.

She came from poverty and has built a lucrative career for herself based on being not just plus size but morbidly obese. To make that fly she obviously has to say she’s happy being fat and use it as a soapbox so then she’s a ‘fat acceptance’ activist. She gets blood tests to show she’s ‘healthy’ hence HAES. She works out and eats ‘healthy’ food which shows she lives a ‘healthy’ lifestyle. So she’s too far in now to say or do or be any different. It’s about the $$$ now. The reality of course is that ‘health’ isn’t measured by some static bunch of blood tests and you don’t stay obese by under-eating as no amount of ‘working out’ changes that. The movement should be Respect at Every Size because moral worth isn’t measured by what you weigh.

Similarly, pregnancy can cause drastic weight shifts that take time to recover from following childbirth.

This is for all the body positivity people. I was 300lbs overweight, but my blood exams were ok, everything was fine until I started feeling stabs all over, I had inflammations everywhere, then a Dr told me chronic inflammation can end up in cancer. On the other hand, my vision was becoming a little blurry, sugar test and there you go, I was diagnosed with pre diabetes. It's right to love your body, but being overweight can definitely kill you. I'm on my way to a better lifestyle. I hope it ends in a better state.

I'm offended how she threw politics and current events into her tips on self care. Ma'am I need self care because of those things, injecting it into my brain isn't going to help. So instead I'm going to give you MY top 4 self care tips 1.Go outside, maybe bring a snack and/or drink with you. You could go on a walk or just sit down and watch nature, just as long as you get out of the home for a bit 2. Do something different from your every day, for example if you watch KZbin all day go play a game or read, maybe draw, paint, learn to embroider or something. Just limit how much time you spend watching KZbin 3. Take a bath or shower, you can even make it pretty if that's your thing 4. Do some laundry/change your clothes, it can help you feel cleaner and fresher thus giving a small boost to your brain

[@beatricec3669]

Exactly. Of course what she said was really important, and fundemental in this moment of our history, but just shove it down her audience throats just screams "Look at me, i'm a model, i'm fat, i do botox to be beautiful but ALSO i'm such a good and against injustice person!"

MY GIRL IS GETTING A WAREHOUSE!! LET'S GOOOO

[@imahousemouse1]

I'm brand new to this channel, having just found it today. I'm a 63 yr old woman who weighed 333lbs 5 yrs ago. I also am a Type 2 diabetic, and neither my weight nor my diabetes were caused by overeating. In my case, it was sugary drinks which ruined my health in so many ways. I had it fixed in my brain that watery drinks (vs. creamy drinks) could not put weight on me! Until I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, it took me awhile to understand what caused it. I've never had a big appetite, but am always thirsty, especially when I smoked. I now weigh 125 lbs and wear a size 6. I have had the weight off for nearly 3 years now. My A1c is down to a 5.5 - 5.7, so I no longer need any medications for my diabetes at all. I have 2 autoimmune disorders, both of which cause me chronic pain, but my pain levels have dropped by around 75% since losing the weight. I now feel more like I'm in my 30s than my 60s. PS, I absolutely had to see who named their channel My Thoughts Will Probably Offend You! I wasn't disappointed. Thanks!
