WE LOVE YOU GUYS :D
WHO WE ARE:
We are Christina, Katherine, Lisa, Amy, and Lauren Cimorelli, 5 sisters originally from Northern California who are now based in Nashville, TN. We grew up singing in a big family of 11 children and our mom, a classical pianist, taught us to sing in harmony when we were kids. We got our start in musical theatre productions, doing classical pieces in the church choir and performing barbershop harmonies at nursing homes for the elderly (back then our grandma was our agent).
In 2009, when Christina was 18 years old and Lauren was 10 years old, we posted a cover of us singing Party In The USA that ended up going viral. From that video, we were discovered by a manager in London, and shortly after signed with Universal Music Group under Island Records. We moved to Los Angeles in 2010, where we lived and worked in the L.A. pop music world for 5 years, before getting extremely burnt out. We realized a major label deal wasnât for us, left our label and moved to Nashville, TN, looking for a new start. In 2015, we officially became Nashville-based, independent artists.
Since then, we have written and released 5 albums of original music, toured all over the U.S., South America, and Europe, performed at festivals in Germany, Spain and the Philippines, wrote a book, Believe In You: Big Sister Stories and Advice on Living Your Best Life, started a podcast (The Cimorelli Podcast) and reached over 1 billion views on our CZcams channel. Currently, the 5 of us sisters are embarking on new journeys of marriage and starting our own families (Christina, Katherine and Lisa), and figuring out life as twenty-somethings (Lauren and Amy).
Our goal with our CZcams channel is to constantly challenge ourselves to grow creatively, and to make videos and music that is positive, uplifting and innovative. Our Christian faith guides our decisions, and we will always create content that is family friendly, while not being afraid to touch on topics that we believe are important, such as mental health and personal growth. Thank you for being here, and for being a part of our amazing supporters, the Cim Fam! - Hudba
âMy dream body is one that eats.â As an anorexia survivor in recovery.. thank you for that..
I haven't experienced anorexia myself, but I hope you're doing well in your journey and I wish you strength â€
Thank you..
Katherine saying that people made mean comments on her weight made me so sad. Especially because I often thought that she looks so good now but I would never want to comment on somebody else's body or shape. Overall I just feel so much sympathy for the girls and especially the mothers exude so much warmth and maturity now through their souls and their bodies. †We all grow up, become older and change. Nobody has the right to say something about that, especially if they don't know you.
Yes, same! I try to never comment on anyone's weight both in real life or online, so I have never commented anything about Katherine, yet I told my sister about Katherine gaining weight since my sister had same problem and insecurities about it. Katherine was a role model to me and that's why I told my sister not to worry. I've been looking up at Katherine!
Do you understand what I mean?
@@christiansoul01 yes, I totally understand! That's so cool and beautiful that them being so open and just human about it makes them such role models and lifts others up to make them feel less insecure, like your sister e.g. :)
@@olivialogo1978 i know! I'm so happy about it, too. The interesting thing is that Katherine was a role model to me before she ever spoke up about the issue. All this time I thought that there is no issue! And was exactly what inspired me! I still think that it's not a problem to be solved, unless she decides so herself (aka health and mental illness if there are any)
I wish this video could be played in every health class across the country and to all new moms just as like a REAL HUMAN testimony
Your weight/changes do NOT equal your beauty. Every single one of you is beautiful, inside and out. I love how unique each one of yo are with style, height, shape, personality. We werent put here to all look like cookie cutter versions of eachother, we were meant to stand out and shine in our own individual way and ALL of you lovely women do that! â„
yea it does lmao. being obese isnt being special, its just being lazy and coping with emotional baggage. go ahead and keep lying to yourself tho, obviously to weak to make a change
Inside weight gain doesn't affect beauty, but quite a stretch to say for outside. Most people don't find it attractive, a lot of people do. You can't say things that just aren't true. But if you're happy with yourself. Then great
@@iabaca someoneâs beauty shouldnât be defined by if other people find them attractive. Thatâs literally the whole point. Your self worth/confidence shouldnât only be based on if everyone finds you attractive. Everyone has different types. just cause YOU donât find it attractive doesnât mean that they ARENT attractive
I admire all of you so much for speaking up about this. We all struggle and itâs so reassuring to remember we are not alone.
I loved Amyâs perspective of like: gurl, weâre not meant to look any certain way. And Kath reminded me that yes, we are not objects and we do not deserve to be looked at like that (by ourselves or others). We are people, we are human. Thanks for sharing
I saw the title and knew I was gonna be in tears đ as someone who has struggled with an eating disorder and is in a newly beautiful place of recovery I love this more than I can ever say
Hugs and much love to you, God bless
as a 17 y/o female, i admire every single one of you for this video. it's so refreshing to see a variety of women saying these things, breaking through the fear and speaking out. i loved seeing the few of you become mothers and embracing those changes-now we know how difficult that was. you are all such beautiful individuals that inspire me to accept myself and look forward to my future. thank you â€ïž
I have undiagnosed health issues that have actually caused me to *lose* weight since December without trying. But because I am plus size, no one is taking my weight loss seriously, not even my family. Even tho I have lost an extremely concerning amount. It is so frustrating that my health isn't being taken seriously because I'm not skinny or I don't "look" sick.
@Emma J please see your doctor, even if you don't have any other symptoms! Unexplained weight loss is a possible symptom of more than one health issue and is a legitimate concern. I know that the only times that I have been able to lose weight have been the times that I've been sick, and I never lost enough weight to look skinny or stereotypically "sick".
Yes I agree, keep persisting with a health professional. Unfortunately I had the same sort of issue years ago (I have IBD and now have a MOUNTAIN of issues because of it) but they wouldn't take me seriously because of my age and the fact that I was in dance school - they said I was making myself sick. Plus they wouldn't take me any sort of seriously until my weight got down to a very unhealthy range and then they listened, which was just ridiculous and so incredibly dangerous đ€
You have to stick up for yourself and be persistent. I hope you get results and answers soon đ€
Yeah! Lisa back after a very long time. We hope Lisa's husband having a speedy recovery from cancer. It's good to take care of body health of weight gain in control "neither more, nor less :)
I totally agree
As someone who had a baby recently as well, this was so amazing to hear. I literally only lost the 7 pounds that my baby weighed, nothing more. It has been really hard for me to let go of who I was and what I looked like pre-pregnancy and accept that i just look and feel different now.
Let this video remind everyone to STOP COMMENTING ON OTHER PEOPLE'S BODIES!!!! It is NOT NICE. You NEVER know what someone is going through!!! Take a step back and acknowledge how YOU would feel if someone said whatever you're about to say/comment. We are all SO hard on ourselves already, we don't need the comments of family, friends, or strangers on the internet pointing things out too. Radiate love and encouragement. Thank you for speaking up about this and for sharing your stories. Love you all, hugging you from afar. We are more than skin!!!!!!!!
We missed YOU LISAâ€
Thank you all for being so vulnerable! I cried with Christina and Katherine and could relate to something each of you shared. I started watching your videos when I was about 17 or 18 and am 31 now and like you my body has changed as Iâve aged, gave birth, etc. I recently had thyroid cancer and since my thyroid surgery have gained an additional 60+ pounds and have been picking myself apart too. I needed all these reminders today! â€ïž
People in 2023 still don't realize just how MANY things can cause you to gain/lose weight and certain diseases or meds often make it impossible to lose/gain.
Plus AGE. Not to mention, most of us don't have a lot of time to focus on being healthy when let's face it: junk food is readily available and healthy food is NOT; and everyone these days is so busy.
I'd never promote obesity, ever, I know it's dangerous. But truly there are no excuses for why one should judge a stranger due to weight. None.
we are so lucky to be part of this community! I wish even more people could hear this. Thank you for being role models.
I love when you guys talk about body image and beauty standards because there's so much pressure from society to keep chasing and fit that "perfect" body. I could relate to Kath, big hugs! đđThank you for putting out such a positive message to counter society's toxic objectification of our bodies. đ
Also, I can't wait for Skin to release!! â€
I am so proud of you Katherine!! I am so happy to hear that you are now in recovery. I am in my fourth year of ED recovery, and if you ever want to talk, Iâm here! Itâs definitely a hard topic to discuss but it is so necessary that we advocate for it! Itâs such a misunderstood disease. â€ïž you guys are such strong women!
And the way that you confidently said you will NEVER go back to the place you were in years ago, is such an AMAZING sign of recovery Katherine!! That is so incredible.
Love these empowering messages! Especially from Kath. You look way more beautiful- in a way more soulful now than you did before. I see a spark in you that makes you so beautiful and a motherly beauty surrounds you. â€
As a young girl growing up in this world where you "have to" be a specific body type or look a certain way. I needed this, I needed to hear this.
I know it can be very hard! Iâm also a young girl and i struggle so bad with it! I am so ashamed and hate my bloated belly after eating. I think my âmorning skinnyâshould be the body I have for the entire day! I just donât like my body
@@hii2612 honestly same, recently I've been going through it and the one thing I keep telling myself is that I look a certain way for a reason and that if people have a problem with it that they're probably not worth knowing, or being in my life
@@dickson8088 i think totally like you, but I donât like my body. So itâs really hard to say that if others donât like my body⊠if I also donât like it
@@hii2612 that's totally fair, bringing yourself to like your body is definitely really hard and I've struggled to just accept what I look like
@@dickson8088 how did you do it? I would love to know how to accept myself and then also love
Honestly I never thought you guys would talk about this, since I know its a touchy and sensitive subject for everyone going through changes, especially women. I'm very thankful you guys choose to share your stories with us. The only word I can describe this video with is Healingđâ€
âš healing âš
Yes, absolutely!
For me it is also words like: inspiration, role model, positive vulnerability etc.
Itâs okay Lauren! We are with yâall!
thank you so much for posting this! I admire you girls sooo much đ
This is so powerful. Thank you guys for being so open about this.
Thank you all for sharing, we are right with you and it feels amazing knowing I can be a part of this community who truly believes in all that
The world needed this video! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you SO MUCH for speaking about this. It is so important to acknowledge and I am SO happy that you guys are living happier, healthier lives now!
So vulnerable & so real. Thank you for talking about this.
Thanks for opening up and being so vulnerable with us, especially Kath!â€
Great to see you back Lise! đ
All of your story's are very moving. But when Katherine said about the hurtful comments she had received online it made me very sad. I've been following you girls for about four years now and feel a special connection and love for you, and so hearing that Katherine had been bullied about her weight was really sad to hear, especially since you were dealing with post partum and recovering from an ed. So Katherine if you see this, please know that you are loved so much and your worth will never change. We love you all, and thank you so much for sharing your story's. xxx
As an anorexia survivor this video means a lot. Because the day I almost gave up, I actually came across their video âbelieve in you.âThat was the day I decided to recoverâ€
Woow!! you go girl, thank God!! â€
@@inesgutierrezvelez9287 it was a big struggle but Iâm still hereâșïž
Love this, such a great message. Much needed for many young ladies and men!
Thank you girls for being so vulnerable and open about these personal struggles! This is gonna help so many other people learn to love their body for the way it is and also be more open to getting help for a eating disorder â€
It is so important that you girls talk about that, thank you so much for breaking the stigma
what an incredible video! thank you so much for sharing your stories with us and being vulnerable
Thanks for talking about that important topic†i am literally crying with you
This was a wonderful blessing. Thank you â€
Thank you so much for talking about this!
Such wise words from such AMAZING women!!!!! THANK YOU for sharing, we all need to HEAR this!
I think I really needed to see a video like this. I've looked up to you guys for almost a decade now and I truly can't thank you enough for starting this conversation.
I LOVE YOU GUYS. Thank you for being so honest and open. Seriously, that is not going unnoticed â„ïžâš
Needed this. Especially rn. Thank you â€
Thank you so much for this, you are SO RIGHT and itâs so encouraging to see. I love you guys â€
This was so specialâ€ïž Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for speaking up about this. Knowing Iâm not alone in my eating disorder recovery is comfortingâ€ïž
Thank you all for your transparency and vulnerability and good to see you your face again Lisa been keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
wow, christina, your words are so powerful and beautiful. thank you for being vulnerable and sharing that
I really needed to hear this. I relate to Katherine's story a bit with restricted diets for health reasons. Thank you for sharing your stories!
AWWWW QUEENS YOU WOMEN ARE SO STRONG AND BEAUTIFUL ! Thank you for being vulnerable yet so brave with us. LOTS OF LOVE LADIES !
Yessssssssss!!!!!! Thank you for making this! Iâve been recovered for 2 years and before that in ED recovery for years. And itâs so important to talk about thus
Thankyou all so much for being vulnerable and open about struggles. It really helped me where I'm at today â€
Omg this is such a gem of a video. Love seeing progression in mental growth and accepting the body you guys are in. I thought I was the only one that experienced constant nausea with anxiety.
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing.
This is exactly what I needed, thank you so much â€
Thank you guys for being so vulnerable and realâ€ïžđ«¶đ»
You ladies are amazing!! Thank you for sharing thisđž
I admire u guys for coming out and talking abt these sensitive issues with us!!đđ U guys are really role modelsđđ
Thank you ladies so much†Your stories and truths are helping more than you know. Y'all are beautiful inside and out. Health looks different on everyoneđ
I've really needed to hear all of thisâ€
okay i'm crying this is such an improtant video and everything you guys said really resonated with me.. THANK YOU FOR THIS I LOVE YOU ALL
This is incredibly healing †thank you for giving me and all of us witnessing this the opportunity to love ourselves and dismantle the unhealthy beauty standards đ We are literally miracles, breathing, thinking, walking, talking miracles!
Thank you so much for talking about this. I really needed to hear that itâs okay to gain weight and to not be what everyone wants to be. I have been struggling and this has gave me light and that Iâm not alone â€!
I'm so glad you guys made this video, you really reach to your fans on a personal level. Thank you for this one especially I needed this as I am struggling with this very same topic. I love you all so much!!!
This was absalutely amazing and I didn't realize how much I needed this...
Im excited for your new song!!! Im 16 Iâve been a fan for 2 years and youâve really helped me a lotttt
I cant thank you gals enough for being real, and raw with us. You guys are changing lives! I wish i had a voice like you beautiful souls when i was a teen! So much love for you all!!! â€â€â€
Ever since seeing all your bodies change throughout the years, it's been a really good reminder that everyone is different. My sisters are these slim goddesses, very pretty, and I have a chubbier body... You guys are sisters and all look so differently, yet gorgeous. Your talent of singing didn't falter, I never thought 'eww, how can they post this?" or "they don't deserve the fame anymore' ... Nothing changed. Your worth is the same, your beauty is the same if not better since you all mentioned to be doing better and being healthier...
I am yet to realise for real that my body is okay. I never succeeded in any diet as I enjoy food wayyyy too badly and am too anxious to leave the house to take a walk or something... I have failed on all fronts and that's okay. Food is fuel and it's delicious. It's a waste to not embrace all the good things it brings.
There is no food that's more unhealthy than an ED â„
No food is bad food, as it's all just fuel.
You deserve to live your life without obsessing
Take care of yourself â„
Thank you soo much for this video, I can so relate with you!
I think to watch this video right now was so good and healing for my mental health â€.
Thank you so much for making this video. I feel like listening to your experiences has already helped me to feel more comfortable in my own body.
You all are so beautiful, inside and out. đ
I can feel Katherineâs inner strength and freedom so much I really felt what she was saying because after going through my eating disorder and coming out on the other side I relate so much. I feel so much more safe in the world and in my body right now because I know that I feel at home in myself.
This video was really really healing. And seeing that all of you have gained weight makes me feel so normal. It is normal. I love this so much.
love you girls†all of you are so strong anf inspiring. thanks for sharing your storiesđ
This video could not have come at a more perfect time for me. I've been struggling so hard recently, and hearing y'all's experiences is so helpful. All of y'all's stories are so moving. Thank you for being so open and sharing with us all.
This video absolutely could not have come at a better time for me! There is no way this was coincidence. ~Profoundly grateful for who you are! ~Prayers for each one of you & your precious ones! đđđđđ
You are all so beautiful souls and this video healed a part of me †thank you đ„č
I love yaâll!! Thank you for being so vaunrable. Loved hearing each of your experiences.
Oh to have sisters who explore your own feelings and allow each one to give voice about your fears is such a blessing. Thank you
I love amys vibe she made me giggle watching something so serious and special thank you â€
I donât comment on videos often. This one is one of the few exceptions. Thank you so much for doing this!
Thank you so much for speaking out about this and being real/vulnerable! I struggled with an eating disorder from the age of 14 until I was 25 when I was able to go into treatment. We didnât have social media for most of that time and people didnât really talk about it as much. I wish there were videos like this back then!
Love this so much!! I cried with Christina and Katherine. What Lauren said about her "dream body" really stuck with me. So excited for the new release!!!
†this video really represents me. I went through similar things I needed to hear this. You girls are so beautiful and your message is so important
Amazing messages from amazing women †Thank you all for opening up and sharing your experiences. Katherine you're smashing your recovery đȘđŒ Keep it up girl!
Thank you so much for posting this! I have really been struggling with the way I view myself since having my baby. It is so powerful that you are speaking out about it and it helps to know Iâm not alone. Thank you so much! â€
Wow thank you for this video. You took the words right out of my mouth. Ive been dealing with body image issues for many years after having 3 beautiful baby girls. This video is sooo encouraging â€
Thank you SO much for speaking up about this. I personally am in a place where I feel insecure about my looks and my weight, and people have done literally nothing but make me feel miserable. I am constantly asked to behave in a certain way, talk in a certain way, etc. and this video brought me to the realization that I AM PERFECT AND BEAUTIFUL JUST THE WAY I AM!! Love you guys a ton
This was so healing - thank you for surviving and coming out the other side and normalising health that is distinctly apart from aesthetic. Thank you for your vulnerability and articulation
I love this video so muchhh! I feel like everyone can relate to at least one of them and it really makes you feel like your not alone cuz your not!đ any way Iâm literally sitting here in tears because hearing all there stories really touched me and reminded me that everyoneâs journey is different and you donât have to look a certain wayđđđ
Iâve never had body image issues (Thank you, Jesus!) but I totally feel Lauren on the anxiety making me nauseous. From the age of 5 to probably 14 I was constantly throwing up or nauseous and people thought I wanted to be skinny or was anorexic but I was just so nervous all the time. It got better as I got older. Iâm almost 30 now and I barely have that at all. Iâve gained double the weight since I was 14 but thatâs okay because Iâm still me and still beautiful!
Love you guys đ
Can't wait on your new projects
And as always - our big sisters cover the topics that need to be covered
God bless you, Cimorelli
I totally understand the anxiety thing of being nauseous all the time... I'm getting over it little by little †we'll get through it. đ„°
Love you all so much ladies. Thank you for saying all the things Iâve been needing to hear. I have a feeling Iâll be watching this again and again! Your videos are honestly the realest on the internet and I think we are all better for your bravery, transparency, and authenticity. If you want to adopt me as a sister lemme know
What an incredible contribution you are making to the lives of girls and women, boys and men everywhere - thank you! Your shared messages need to be heard throughout this world. This is the power of love and acceptance. I am blessed to have heard your stories and shared your pain. I am so grateful to have had the opportunities you extend here: to grow, to accept, to release the pain, and to move on to joy. Bless you all and bless your parents for giving you such generous hearts and minds.
You guys are amazing! Thank you for making this video and for sharing. Love you guys so much đ
this video as i am watching starting to be a 20, is definitely worth staying up at 8am to watch. this video definitely takes a load off of gaining weight and just overall going through changes with my body. you guys telling me that it's a normal thing to go through changes in 20's definitely makes me feel a lot about myself mentally later on in my 20s. and i appreciate and always respect all your stories being shared.
This video was so perfectly timed. I have had a similar experience to Lauren with nausea related to anxiety off and on for years. I have struggled to eat breakfast for as long as I can remember. And then in the last year I started a job I really love and Iâve found a routine that works so well for me. I am finally eating 3 consistent meals a day. With that has come some weight gain for the first time in my life and itâs been so bizarre! I am definitely still a small gal, so itâs been especially weird to have moments recognizing my body looks different to me but still have people comment about how petite I am. Thank you guys so much for sharing your experiences and helping me to remember to let the positive thoughts about myself be louder than the negative. Iâm the happiest and most anxiety free I have been in a long time, and this is what my happy body is doing. Keep doing what youâre doing ladies â€
Yes, so so many *expectations*. Thank you so much for sharing. I was in and out of ED treatment for almost 15 years. This is an extreme, but it is so so refreshing to hear struggles from people without diagnosable EDs (not counting Katherine)!
Lauren -our story is so similar. Super healing listening to this
Thank you for being open and honest. I identified with so much of what each of you said! Iâve had trouble with my eating disorder past after having kids and itâs a constant battle. You are sharing such an important message, you are all beautiful inside and out â€
The rollercoaster of emotions I am feeling watching this video!! Im so proud of all of you because these topics are often the hardest to talk about. I have always looked up to you guys so to hear about these very real and very stigmatized struggles makes me feel less alone. The stereotypes of "beauty" are disgusting, it is normal for us to change all around and I wish we could all accept ourselves and each other more freely. we are all "MORE THAN SKIN" And "Worth It" and you guys have always taught me that
