I'm also not saying that people should be skinny (I hope no one misunderstands me), I'm just saying that healthy is different for all people, and as long as someone is healthy, they are beautiful!
Some of these quotes that comment on the "skin and bones" not being beautiful can also be hurtful at times. I'm naturally really thin, does that mean I shouldn't feel beautiful because I'm "skin and bones", even if I don't have an eating disorder and I have perfectly normal eating habits? I'm not criticizing the video or anyone specifically, just something to take into consideration.
I pray for the anorexic girls out there, who despite their size still see themselves as fat or 'not good enough'. I hope that they can see that thinness and beauty aren't related to one another, because once they do they will truly have separated superficiality from reality and will be much, much happier with themselves and the people around them.
i love the quote at the beginning I have listened to music by MCR for a while but the quote made me gain respect for gerard way as a person and not just a lead singer for a bad that i like.
its just like barbie and teddy bear.i luv teddy bear more than barbie cuz u can hug them but barbie its just stylish look only.Also dont be sad about yourself you guys have all human have.U guys have leg,hand,eyes and everything parts human body have. Just go on with good life for ourself.
It doesn't matter how fat or thin a person is. Personally I've liked average/chubby girls and not thin or huge girls but If you're going to judge someone entirely on their body image, then you are treating them like an object. Not a person.
People think looking "good" is way too important. I'll say it again. If you love a person only for their physical form, you love them as an object.
If you love a person for who they are, you love them as a person.
hey i know there are a lot of girls out there who are so worried about their weight. as a guy i can tell you that you should not be! some of the most beautiful women i have ever seen have been a little on the bigger size. if you love yourself and walk with confidence it will show. trust me, guys will notice.
so just love yourself and take care of your bodies. do it for yourself and i think you will be pleasantly surprised,
Beautiful video, very good job. The message is true, and whatever your size you have to love yourself to ever better yourself. See the world with kindness, and who cares what others think. As far as the heinous comment that the gorgeous plus sz model Mia "could look better"...how sad for you that you think that way.
Gosh anorexia is bad but lets not promote being overweight, that entails a horrible eating disorder thats physical side effects are far much worse then anorexia. about 200 people a year (including suicide) die of anorexia, on the other hand there are more than 500,000 in the U.S. alone dying of obesity related causes i.e. heart diseases, complications of diabetes etc and bankrupting America, so stop stuffing your faces its not beautiful
I completely agree. But what I believe this video is promoting is that being a healthy weight is far more beautiful than being underweight. All of the people that appeared in the video looked pretty healthy to me, although some of them looked a little overweight. But still. The message that this video was trying to get across wasn't "Go eat, get fat. Who cares, you're still gorgeous" it was more along the lines of "Starved isn't beautiful; love yourself for who you are"
This is an amazing video. its really inspiring and has actually made me think a little bit better.. despite being a size zero.. its still possible to have an eating disorder, believe me..
its hard to see the good in people when they treat you like crap, its hard to speak kindly to those who insult and degrade you, and its hard to walk with the knowledge that your never alone when you are
Ever here of the yin and yang theory? There's balance in everything, and when there's a lotta shit goin on in ur life, there's also gonna be a lot of happiness later on.
you don't know how it feels that whenever i go to school i am surrounded by superskinny model girls. half the girls in my grade are fit to be a model. i have the thickest belly you will ever see.
Well your video rocks..Thank God some people are aware of what is really worth...all those girls with size 14 and less,that are so OBSESSIVE need help..they are not ok with their iponions
There is no such thing as ugly people, i bet there are things wonderful about u even if beyond the surface...and there is only one person who is holding back that beauty from breaking the surface.
Yes, because thousands of scars are what make me beautiful.
Empty eyes are attractive.
Fat is sexy.
I really appreciate you trying to cheer everyone up and I agree: there are no ugly people. Unfortuantely, however, there are people who believe otherwise and it's very easy to put down a newly developed sense of esteem.
Especially in high school... So let's just stop while we're ahead. I'm disgusting. End of story.
@LiquidPersonality you are as beautiful as you are willing to believe. that's the truth. you decide who you are. don't let anyone tell you who you are or who to be. the haters don't matter now and the opinions of those who hate will never matter. listen to the good stuff. there's plenty of good people out there who deserve a friend like you...don't take shit from the people who don't.
not true...this video also talk about the ugliness inside!And many of these women have felt sick of it,like Amy Lee,Liv Tyler and Drew B...but they fortunately found peace and they rock

Not only will it enlighten many as to what living with a mental illness and an eating disorder is like, it also gives comfort to those sufferers who think there is no hope and that they are alone. It is very informative, sometimes shocking but also very funny in parts. All in all, a good read and highly recommended.
I just watched the video again after a very long time. It still gives me so much hope and helps me love myself a bit more. All these beautiful women are/were so amazing. Thank you again for making this.
I don't know if I'm the only one but my only problem are my parents telling me that I'm fat guess what? I'm not fat I'm not skinny I'm NORMAL thanks davey haha now I'm gonna show my parents your quote
I'm 14 years old, I'm not skinny, and I never want to be skinny. Most girls in my school want to be super thin. Whereas I don't care what I look like, as long as I'm comfortable with myself. Other girls need to know that.
Sooo many quotes in this video have inspired me. They're excellent. Judy Garland was so right about being the best you personally can be, and not copying what others do!!!
i like how anti- anorexia videos show beautiful full figured people, but what about the ones in between? what about the people who aren't fat, nor skinny but are average, and feel the need to loose weight, or gain weight. you don't have to be big to be curvy, you can be average and be curvy. all these videos are supporting is curvy vs. thin. but what about the middle people? just a question.
its a sad thing bulimia and anorexia my best frend told me she was anorexic after i caught her over the toilet one day and she promised me she would stop but a week l8r i caought her over the toilet again throwing up tears running down her face saying im sorry and the thing that got me was ive never seen her cry b4 shes originally a very strong person but her disorder brought out both the physical and emotional weakness in her its a horrid thing to see your loved ones in that state its horrid
Im 5'10 In high school, I was about 130 and thought I wasnt thin enough, because of a bit of a pooch to my belly and a bigger bone structure than most of the girls my age. 27 now,after three kids, Im a bit under 180, Although I wouldnt mind losing a tad of that (eating healthy and getting a bit of exercise to achieve that) Im more comfortable with my body now than I was then. Some,are naturally thin, and pretty that way, but full figured women I feel are just as beautiful,in many ways more.
Well, it only shows full figured women. Some people are naturally really skinny, and it is ignorant to say that it showcases all bodytypes when it definitely does not.
This video shows the most prettiest girls and their not even skinny. Advice for girls who don't agree with their body weight, go shopping!! Pick out some of your favorite clothes and try 'em on. Wearing clothes that you love always makes you feel good about yourself. If you do that then lots of people with be more focused on your cool clothes, not how "fat" you are.
It's not worth for girls not to eat.If they think that it will make them look better they are completely wrong.I'd rather be really overweight than an anorexic anyday.
I think is not correct put in this video "Audrey H." because she is the image of a anorexic girl (in her infance she had a lot of alimentician problems)
Audrey Hepburn struggled with anorexia and depression, caused by some childhood problems, during World War Two.The impact of those times would shape her life and values.I think that she is the best exemple in this occurrence.She fight against her anorexia, and in few years she was better.And she didn't die from anorexia, she died from cancer at the age of 63, not like those skinny models who die at 20.
I'm a guy, so I guess my opinion doesn't count for much, but it breaks my heart to see women in such distress that they harm themselves. I like the way this video was encouraging rather than judgemental, and hope that inspires women to know that they are beautiful.
@mrbarister Don't think your opinion doesn't count because of your gender. I think for many people your opinion counts more than any. If you hear girls talk, the main reason they don't eat is because they think guys will like them better. In this light, your opinion says much more to these people.
i am twelve years old and 90 pounds i am in the seventh grade
i am thinner than all my friends yet they call me fat and stupid and are always putting me down it makes me so sad i am 5 feet tall and wanting to be thinner
these poeple are jealous, don't let them get you down, they are just trying to make themselves feel better about themselves by putting you down, don't put yourself down because of this, hold your head up high and be proud of who you are, you don't need to be thinner doll or change just because of someone elses insecurities.
This video is just PERFECT! Well, I really am 1.65 cm and 42 kilos, but still I admit those people were right... It`s just sometimes we can`t help it...
i'm 5'9 and used to be 50 kgs or less its fun...love myself that way,,but yea all of my friends said that i'm too thin...they pushed me, to eat more more and more,,,,and now i'm fat!!!really2 fat i think..i hate foods
I used to feel like you i was tired of being called fat or w.e and wanted to loose weight it is not the way at all. I'm only fourteen i'm almost 5'2 and 90lbs , all i see is fat. Anorexia starts off as a diet and leads to a disease. Although you cannot simply wish to be anorexic , you can learn the rules etc. but you will never have the mental illness although it is possible you can develop it
this video was utterly moving. I adore Amy Hartzler the most out of all of them- she's made it perfectly clear she is happy looking the way she does, i have a great deal of respect for her for that. I pray she never, ever bends to media pressure, as with all of them
I totally agree with you. They look healthy, happy, and are full of life. It's better to be curvy, happy, and be full of life, than to be worried so much about calories, throwing up, and not having a social life. This is better.
Through constant reinforcement of positive body types, your ideal of beauty will change.
I was talking to a psychologist yesterday about this. He said that in a study, men said that women's bodies were perfect the way they are, but the women insisted that they were far too fat.
What is it,you all doing like this,its depends how you are fat if your body for exempel is bigger then look at the stomek if its like to much pushing out then its litul fat
when you think about it, being called fat isnt an insult, its a phisical discription..when somone calls u fat, dont get mad or sad, cuz if you are its true! its a discrition, not to put you down (althought some people do) it is a characteristic
I have had many discussions with psychologists about this, and they agree with me. "Fat" is an insult. It carries with it very negative connotations, ones that are hurtful and undesired.
ok, yeah, lots of people do call others fat to put them down..but if you really are it IS a discription..people should b happy with their bodies and not try to be like anyone else..ex. billboard,magazines,tv shows, their all airbrushed and photo shoped, so its un-true, its the media like that , that make people have the desire to be thin, but i mean, hey im not skinny, not am i reallly big, im inbetween, sure ppl call me fat, and ya w.e thats me
That's like saying, "Don't get offended if you're called a nigger, retarded, witch, because if you're black, mentally challenged, or a magical practitioner, it's true."
An offensive term is still insulting, regardless of its intent.
i'm not gumby, me, i have always like very thin girls,, but so strange the ones i date or truely like are average, and for this video it is fantastic,, i so wish i could grab some stills from it,, great wallpapers!! really coool song, all the women in the video are really hot too, a girl comfortable in her skin is the most beautiful attribute one could have, it radiates!! great video there Raven!!!!!!!!
this is also something bad.. You dont know how ugly it is for some people to be skinny and being treated like anorexics while they're completely normal.
People SHOULD NOT be normal. They should be THEMSELVES
And if these standards of "thinness" and "perfection" would stop taking over everyone's mind, then they would not accuse naturally thin people of being anorexic, because anorexia would not be an issue.
thanks a lot of this. I understood that I'm beautiful even if I'm fat, the most important thing is what I'm personally, what I think and what I have in my heart.
and think it hard, I was bulimic and sometimes I have those attacks about feeling myself fat and crying a lot, I still sometimes want to throw up, it is difficult but I haven't throw up in so many time, I'm not in my bones like before, and when I feel down I see others beside me and feel fine, also watching this video made me feel proud of myself, I'm not fat, I'm normal
this video is great , i never had issue with my body image , but i have a dad that wishes me to lose a few lbs . but you know what , who cares what size you are, if you love yourself , you'll be happy and find people that love you for you too. there's to much hate and hurt in the world and life is to short to live on a lie and suffer for it.
oh come on! please wait until you're like... 18 or so until your body has developed the way it's supposed to be! for now just eat healthy, try different healthy food until you find something you like.. it doesn't mean that you need to eat peas or smth
Wow very good video so inspiring!!that proves u dont have to be slim to be beautiful or a model but also people has to try controlling their wheight to prevent obesity:)
media really has alot to answer for on this one. it really pisses me off when hollywood star turns up to a premier and all the press can say is "so & so has gained weight" Most of the time they look better for it!
all girls are beautiful in their own way. people who tell other people that they're fat or ugly or anything like that don't see the real beauty. don't let ANYONE say that your not good enough.
all girls are beautiful in their own way. there's people who will tell you your not good enough, but those people can't see the real beauty. don't let people like that break you.
yeah but its all well and good saying that everyone has to be happy with themselves. Nobody, with the choice, would choose to be overweight. Even if you are happy with your weight, somebody needs to make it so that NOBODY judges. Thing is - that wont happen. High school is shit. Conforming is a survival tecnique.
The ones who are remembered, or made a difference, never conformed to meet societies standards. They stood firm to their principles no matter what. It is that strength and determination that will set you apart.
its hard to say you're beautiful when everybody looks at you and see something that's ugly. its easy for people who are flawless. i have stretchmarks and scars all over my body from loosing weight and gaining it back. having a "curvacious" body with big boobs and butts makes a person become a lust object,it hurts to hear guys whispering things and snigger behind your back.
being thin makes you fit in.. being fat just makes you stick out of the crowd like a bloated thumb.
Thank you so much everyone for your positive feedback. I read every single comment, regardless of whether I respond. =) I'm glad to know this video helped, and I will be making more.
In my opinion, as long as a woman respects herself and doesn't dress up in overtly provacative clothing everywhere she goes, she can be a great catch overweight or slim.
The last two girlfriends I had were overweight, but I always looked beyond that because from getting to know them I found their outer beauty became clearer to me after being intrigued by their inner qualities. I am overweight myself, and I hope my future wife doesn't depend on just outer looks to be attracted to me.
Well, I believe it's high time that young girls stop looking to starved supermodels in order to respect themselves as people because it is bad for them t begin dangerous habits in losing weight. I have seen couples were one was less appealing than the other, but the way they responded to each other showed that true love can overpower personal appearance.
I hate my body with my whole being. I guess it hurts that these women are so beautiful larger, and i'm so ugly with puge. I'm 118lbs and i stare in the mirror everyday wishing i was thin. I wish i was beatiful.
i like this. lovely song choice.

Some,are naturally thin, and pretty that way, but full figured women I feel are just as beautiful,in many ways more.

Awesome video. It's a fresh reminder after all the other pro-ana AND anti-ana videos. This one is uplifting, positive, and inspiring.

Well, it only shows full figured women. Some people are naturally really skinny, and it is ignorant to say that it showcases all bodytypes when it definitely does not.
LoveToMagic 3 years ago
This video shows the most prettiest girls and their not even skinny. Advice for girls who don't agree with their body weight, go shopping!! Pick out some of your favorite clothes and try 'em on. Wearing clothes that you love always makes you feel good about yourself. If you do that then lots of people with be more focused on your cool clothes, not how "fat" you are.

It's not worth for girls not to eat.If they think that it will make them look better they are completely wrong.I'd rather be really overweight than an anorexic anyday.
VictoriaVanessaLOV3 3 years ago
I think is not correct put in this video "Audrey H." because she is the image of a anorexic girl (in her infance she had a lot of alimentician problems)
but the rest is fantastic! thanks!

Audrey Hepburn struggled with anorexia and depression, caused by some childhood problems, during World War Two.The impact of those times would shape her life and values.I think that she is the best exemple in this occurrence.She fight against her anorexia, and in few years she was better.And she didn't die from anorexia, she died from cancer at the age of 63, not like those skinny models who die at 20.

I'm a guy, so I guess my opinion doesn't count for much, but it breaks my heart to see women in such distress that they harm themselves. I like the way this video was encouraging rather than judgemental, and hope that inspires women to know that they are beautiful.

@mrbarister Don't think your opinion doesn't count because of your gender. I think for many people your opinion counts more than any. If you hear girls talk, the main reason they don't eat is because they think guys will like them better. In this light, your opinion says much more to these people.

these poeple are jealous, don't let them get you down, they are just trying to make themselves feel better about themselves by putting you down, don't put yourself down because of this, hold your head up high and be proud of who you are, you don't need to be thinner doll or change just because of someone elses insecurities.

anorexia is not that way to go.
I used to feel like you i was tired of being called fat or w.e and wanted to loose weight it is not the way at all. I'm only fourteen i'm almost 5'2 and 90lbs , all i see is fat. Anorexia starts off as a diet and leads to a disease. Although you cannot simply wish to be anorexic , you can learn the rules etc. but you will never have the mental illness although it is possible you can develop it

Many are, I was for a very long time.
Through constant reinforcement of positive body types, your ideal of beauty will change.
I was talking to a psychologist yesterday about this. He said that in a study, men said that women's bodies were perfect the way they are, but the women insisted that they were far too fat.

when you think about it, being called fat isnt an insult, its a phisical discription..when somone calls u fat, dont get mad or sad, cuz if you are its true! its a discrition, not to put you down (althought some people do) it is a characteristic
plz reply! ill reply back! pcee
xoxoCanadianGirlxoxo 4 years ago
I have had many discussions with psychologists about this, and they agree with me. "Fat" is an insult. It carries with it very negative connotations, ones that are hurtful and undesired.
RavenAmongDoves 4 years ago
ok, yeah, lots of people do call others fat to put them down..but if you really are it IS a discription..people should b happy with their bodies and not try to be like anyone else..ex. billboard,magazines,tv shows, their all airbrushed and photo shoped, so its un-true, its the media like that , that make people have the desire to be thin, but i mean, hey im not skinny, not am i reallly big, im inbetween, sure ppl call me fat, and ya w.e thats me
xoxoCanadianGirlxoxo 4 years ago
That's like saying, "Don't get offended if you're called a nigger, retarded, witch, because if you're black, mentally challenged, or a magical practitioner, it's true."
An offensive term is still insulting, regardless of its intent.

I do know how that is, actually.
And if these standards of "thinness" and "perfection" would stop taking over everyone's mind, then they would not accuse naturally thin people of being anorexic, because anorexia would not be an issue.

yeah but its all well and good saying that everyone has to be happy with themselves. Nobody, with the choice, would choose to be overweight. Even if you are happy with your weight, somebody needs to make it so that NOBODY judges. Thing is - that wont happen. High school is shit. Conforming is a survival tecnique.
thatgurrrl97 4 years ago
The ones who are remembered, or made a difference, never conformed to meet societies standards. They stood firm to their principles no matter what. It is that strength and determination that will set you apart.

its hard to say you're beautiful when everybody looks at you and see something that's ugly. its easy for people who are flawless. i have stretchmarks and scars all over my body from loosing weight and gaining it back. having a "curvacious" body with big boobs and butts makes a person become a lust object,it hurts to hear guys whispering things and snigger behind your back.
being thin makes you fit in.. being fat just makes you stick out of the crowd like a bloated thumb.

Well, I believe it's high time that young girls stop looking to starved supermodels in order to respect themselves as people because it is bad for them t begin dangerous habits in losing weight.
