“Is ‘fat’ really the worst thing a human being can be? Is ‘fat’ worse than ‘vindictive’, ‘jealous’, ‘shallow’, ‘vain’, ‘boring’ or ‘cruel’? Not to me.”
-J.K. Rowling

This is so true! When you are overweight, people judge you for whatever you do. They are giving you dirty looks in restaurants, when you walk into an organic store, when you excercise in public... I swear one of the main reasons I never wanted to excersice is because people were always mocking me and I was AFRAID to do it. I even stopped dancing hip hop because I was ashamed and didn't want to perform in front of other people, even though I was so good that the teacher wanted to send me to the nationals without even having to go through auditions. Ugh, I really hate how some people can mess with your head and literally ruin your life.

I started online dating. Whenever I reject (politely) a guy who is interested in me I get ATTACKED! It's crazy.  The same guy who wanted to date me a minute ago is now calling me fat, ugly, It's happened several times.  I think it's hilarious because I reply "You just got rejected by a fat, ugly, slut! haha"

You know what always confuses me as a plus size woman, is how people who dislike overweight people say go to the gym and exercise Then when we do we get made fun of at the gym or while exercising. So you want me to be thin but I have to be tormented while doing so? It's like some of these people expect weight loss to be instant. I havd been to gyms where I left feeling worse due to people staring and laughing, instead of offering a helpful hand. It's like Nope you get no points for trying to become fit.
Loey as always you made a wonderful video. I will be sharing this.

"When you judge another person, you do not define them, you define yourself."

[LivingThirdLife]

I used to work at a plus size store. I will never forget this one customer I helped who was 15, she came in discouraged because of her body type, but a hour later I had her hooked up with a brand new cute wardrobe for school! I will never forget how happy it made her! The size on your clothes do not define you, and neither should anyone else!!! Be proud of YOU, never change for anybody but yourself! :) <3

God it pisses me off when people make fun of someone overweight at the gym. It just goes to show how screwed up our society is when people are smothered by food in North America while simultaneously being told to diet and then being shamed when they go to a gym. Makes sense people...totally.

I think if we look at the tabloids, we realize that people just hate people in general.  You see headlines that criticize men and women for being too skinny, too fat, too wild, too prudish; there is no satisfaction for them. They hate everyone because they hate themselves, and as the old saying goes: "misery loves company." But in the rare case that a man or a woman does meet this ambiguous, superficial standard of beauty, those poor souls are faced with the horrible realization that someday that beauty, that acceptance, will disappear with age.  Someday they will be mocked or criticized as everyone else is. It's a sad, sad condition that our society has created and I thank you for speaking out against it. 

I just subscribed to your channel, not because I am a woman who identifies with your size (I am actually very skinny), but because I am one who identifies with your struggle against critical people.  You are a *stunning* human being and no amount of criticism can ever change that. Stay you.

People like that don't care that some of us ( myself included) have health issues that causes us to gain weight. I am in a wheelchair and I cant really workout like some can. but I do try and I eat my veggies and take my vitamins and also take meds to try to help but nothing is working. I used to hate myself for it but now I tell myself to keep trying and love myself whether im "fluffy" or model thin. I am human and I deserve to have love and and respect and more importantly to love myself . Haters can kiss my big round white jiggly butt. lol

I had to go to impatient treatment before some people took my eating disorder seriously. Why? Because I was not a size zero. Too bad people can't see your insides falling apart or your teeth decaying from purging 10 times a day, because since I was not a stick, I was FINE. People can be really awful. I'm now a diabetic because after years of struggling with binging, purging and restricting, I messed up my body. Does that make me any less of a person. NO. ED's are serious shit. Not a joke. Do what makes you happy and everyone else can go suck it. Great video!

[chariswaters]

"Eat anything you want and if people make fun of you because of your weight, eat them too." Best thing I've ever heard! :) I just have to say, you are beautiful and exude confidence. I can't believe that people have said such horrible things to you, but I know people can truly be thoughtless! I think that weight (loss or gain) can be a struggle, but I think self-confidence and self-love are so much more of a struggle and so much more important. <3 Thank you for everything you post on your channel, you have amazing tutorials and awesome beauty videos! (Stumbled onto you from GlowofGrace's Youtube channel).

My brother-in-law makes his sneaky little remarks about me, like I'm not good enough, or good-looking enough, to be in a family or household that has no room to judge and be picky, and yet, I'm JUST good enough to look after his two small kids at a moments notice. I've told him a few times, yes I've had my share of failed relationships but I've also had some very.... memorable encounters with very attractive guys who thought I was hot. There's one I remember in high school, we didn't have any interaction like that but the desire was there and we just never knew. To this day, I know he still sees me as attractive. So the question is, what is wrong with these people who need to knock someone down because they carry a little extra weight? There must not be anything else about me worth noting except my size, right?

[lgalego]

Omg, Loey. I'm loving the constant stream of sarcasm throughout this entire video. I couldn't help but laugh. Thank you for making such a sensitive topic humorous for me to watch. Love your videos!

[wheelerrrxD]

I feel really bad.
I clicked on this video and thought i would dislike it straight away.
You speak so much sense, and everything you have said is true.
You're a great person!

[SaphiraHowell]

This was such a touching video.  I'm so proud to be one of your viewers.  Never give up :)

I love how open you are with everyone. When I was in high school I developed an eating disorder, but because I was so heavy already the weight loss didn't really show. I still looked fat but I was starving myself. No one ever thought that I needed help because I never showed any weight loss, yet I was purposely starving myself anytime I was around people because of a dumb comment made by the guy I liked when I was in grade 8. I had this eating disorder until grade 11. And even now when I tell people, they have this preconceived idea that you have to be skinny to be anorexic so they don't believe that I was.

It's a sh*tty world out there.

Yes losing weight can be easy for some people. But not everyone can go out and exercise everyday to lose weight. It's getting tiring reading the same comments on how overweight people aren't trying hard enough to get into shape. And that they shouldn't be proud of the way they are because they did this to themselves and deserve to be treated like complete crap. For those who are overweight, they already know this. So they don't need other people to tell them the obvious. Don't you think they want to lose weight and be happier? Some people try and try so hard for so long, but it just does no good. For example: My mom was diagnosed with heart failure a year ago. Because of this, they put her on all of this medication to help her get better. Her heart was only working I think...15%. So she had to take stuff that made her gain weight, especially water pills. She has to take those every other day. I think any woman would have a lot of difficulty in losing weight while taking medications that  make you gain weight. My mom barely eats as it is. She will wake up and not eat anything until lunch which is usually a sandwich. And if she does eat dinner that day, it's only a small portion. She eats a lot healthier now and drinks more water than anyone else I know. She was losing weight at first but then it just suddenly stopped. And yes she does exercise. She goes on walks 2-3 times a day. It's not like she can run or do too much exercise, because it's just way too much strain on her heart. She gets breathless easy because her heart is only working 40% now. When people say they really can't help it, then they damn well can't. Because not everyone can exercise when they have a health issue that restricts you from running and doing other activities to help you lose weight. If over weight people bother you so much to the point where it sickens you, then you have a serious problem.

Hearing or reading someone say "they hate fat people" is just as hurtful as someone saying " I hate black people". Hate is hate and it's a sickness and a disease of the heart and mind. So here I am both "fat" and " black". So people normally double the hate towards me. All black/ brown people are not the same. And being curvy or fat as people put it, doesn't mean I'm a dirty, lazy, or a mean person. It's 2014 and people are still closed minded about everyone and anyone that doesn't look or act or talk like them. I'm convinced that there are no decent people left in the world. I hope the good Lord comes before things get much worst.

People are always telling me oh I wish I was skinny as you. I look at them and say no you don't. you do not want to be 50lbs underweight. And when others say eat a burger and drink a milkshake as an insult I tell them I will burn and poop everything out. But I know I am made beautifully no matter what people say. And so are you LoeyLane.

[loverrlee]

I grew up overweight, and I also lost a ton of weight and it was something that occupied my thoughts 24/7 to maintain. I had to exercise 4+ hours a day and eat hardly anything to stay skinny. But because it was so hard, and a lot of my life circumstances changed, I could no longer maintain my weight so I gained it back. I try to eat right and exercise, but like you mentioned, it really is a mental disorder that makes it so easy to slip back into old ways (ways we were raised with and are ingrained in us) and unless there is a magic pill I can take to quit food for good ("cold-turkey") then I will always struggle with my weight because it is like asking a meth addict to only take a small portion of meth everyday for the rest of their lives, let's see how they do. EVERY food is a trigger food. I can gain weight on salad or broccoli. I have. So I'm really glad you've made these videos. Thanks for being a voice among the masses. There really is an epidemic going on because especially in America, it is okay for a food manufacturer to sell a product with more than a day's worth of calories in a product, but we shame the consumer for being a consumer of these products. I don't know what needs to change but like I said if there was a pill I could take to stop worrying about food all together I'd be the first to try it. Thanks again and take care. xoxoxo <3
