@@KimSooo16if it makes you feel better my mom called me fat growing up. I thought I was super fat. Now that I'm an adult with kids and actually fat I wish I could have that body back when I was a kid. I was skinny. My mom won't admit it but I know she called me fat because she didn't want me to be like her. Wrong method but I get it. It messed me up for years. And I'm not from an Asian home. So it's not specifically Asians that are like this. We all struggle with that. But now that I'm a mom with a daughter who is bigger(not fat she is half Samoan so just more solid) I tell her how much I love her because she truly does give the best snuggles and if she was a skinny mini I know she wouldn't be a good snuggler. Lol I tell her how beautiful she is and give her good comebacks in case someone tries to call her fat or say she is to big. She came into the world looking like a Sumo baby lol 11lbs4oz.
@@abbygale3522 I understand, I really hope it's not too hard for you, and I'm sure that even if you are "actually fat", you are very beautiful and I'm sure your kids have a good mother. And I'm sure that your daughter is very pretty too, whatever her body type💓😁 I can't stand my parents ! In South Korea, everyone is very skinny and this is kinda hard... because no one will ever love me for who I am, even them. Even if I have good grades or if I put on a beautiful makeup, people hate how I look.🥲 I wish I could switch my body with someone else.
The same thing happened to me today and i live in Spain. An old lady approached me in the pool. I didnt know her. She told me she was a old frkend of my grandma. We were doing small talk about fsmily and stuff and finally she told me that ive grown beautifully but I could use some weight lose if I wanted to look even more beautiful of find a husband/boyfriend. And I was like, lady, I just met you. I actually have hypothyroidism which is regulated with pills but even so affects my energy overall. So, yeah. Just a story
Well I tattooed myself, for myself, to be alone in my intimate space (in my room, you know) look in the mirror and see much more than anyone can see. To appreciate myself for more than just what other people see 😊 I accept that all bodies change all the time and vary with age.
@@tasman001It depends on how many kilos she had before . And it's not necessarily unhealthy to gain 10 kg in a year as far as I know. I think (my opinion) (Sorry for my English)
@@amaliamihaela3012 Eh, I wouldn't necessarily agree. I mean, I'm over 6'0" and 200 pounds, and even for me gaining 25 pounds in one year is very unhealthy. She's obviously much lighter.
I kinda hate it.Theres a weight thats not considered overweight or super skinny.Why do you have to be super skinny to be "healthy"?.Its annoying how people twist the words in such videos.People commented on my unhealthy weight gain ≠ people want me to be a skeleton
Recognizing that they want what is best for you and SIMULTANEOUSLY recognizing that you know that isn't whats best for you is such a huge step towards healthy body image. So proud of you.
I can really tell that she has let herself go, and that is never healthy, one can eat lots of food and still stay reasonably healthy. Had she gained 10kg of muscle mass, I'd be impressed, 10kg of fat, no that's laziness and a heart attack waiting to happen. Each time I hit 56kg in weight, I feel fat, and I'm a dude. I used to weigh 59kg almost pure muscle, but due to mostly laziness I lost a lot of muscle weight and gained some bellyflab instead. I know that my body doesn't feel any better, and it doesn't matter how delusional I am about it. But I guess, you body positive kind of people, need to go to Thailand and shop at an aptly named store for all the body positive people, it's called Moo Moo, or the store just a few meters away from it, Love Calories...
@@livedandletdie Damn, didn't know that a guy knows more about a female's body than the female. Go touch grass and stop looking in the mirror for once. Body checking isn't cute babe.
@@livedandletdieJesus christ. You should talk to a doctor or psychologist about your eating habits. I don't know how tall you are but 56kg is a low weight for a male, and it sounds like you are forcing yourself into it to not "feel fat". Being underweight is horrible for your heart and can lead to premature death, it is much more dangerous than the overweight category which statistically lives longer than the "normal" one. Fretting over weight control and numbers is not healthy. The stress from severe mental issues can take 10-20 years of your life. Please, take care of yourself.
@@livedandletdie I hope you receive the mental health help you need. It’s plenty of ways to find a therapist for your poor mental state online. Good luck😊
This shorts is exactly what I needed. I gained 10 kgs in the past 8 months, I live away from my family and when I went home last time, they made me really insecure about my weight gain. I used to be super skinny and that was counted as being sexy, but the man I'm with right now and his family feed me such good home-cooked meals, I've never felt myself being and eating this healthy. I was very insecure but this, this video was exactly what I needed. Thank you Uyen. ❣️💞
Honestly being a younger person, who is growing up in a toxic environment (school not my own home🙂), I’ve found so many body positive people on the internet, that help me overcome my eating disorder! I’m so happy that channels I love are so supportive like this!! Lots of love from Canada!❤
Can't believe I just saw this now, I needed this message years ago 😢 Thank you Uyen, it's still hard to love my body, but now I know that I should be kinder to myself. ❤
this is such smart and wise advice. i never thought about weight like this before. You're right. Being younger does contribute to faster metabolism but embracing life as it is can be important too
You look normal, you look healthy, you look HAPPY. As long as you’re doing what you’re body needs, that’s all that matters!! Keep loving yourself, Uyen! 💞
She's definitely fat and being fat is unhealthy. Stop fat glorifying. When she has a Nikocado situation and hates her viewers like him, she'll point her finger at you.
@@JessDougie-ro2hlas long as your healthy and exercising, in my opinion, it’s okay!! Gaining 15 lbs a year isn’t healthy, but if your getting off a really restrictive diet it isn’t too shocking
@@JessDougie-ro2hl If you are near underweight from the beginning of the year and still within a healthy weight toward the end then yes, that is fine. It is just the inevitable, large adjustment to the entirely different diet norms of a new country. You need the “drug” of food to survive. If your drug of choice is restricting very necessary sustenance to feel in control, like she was doing, I recommend learning about eating disorders…
I think someone only looks bad if they think they look, bad, there's nothing wrong with thinking you don't look good, but as long as you're happy with you personality it's ok
How is having mild control of diet for better quality of life and longer life expectancy unrealistic. Y’all just virtue signal because you don’t want to put the work in. Your body is a temple, you don’t see people going to church in run down buildings. Fat people just cope😅
That smile at the end was truly the most beautiful thing, it eclipses everything and Im sure anyone, husband, family or stranger would agree that to have someone dampen that smile intentionally or not would be wrong.
It's so hard to listen to body standards that are unreal at best and hurtful not helpful at worst. Love yourself because we all know we can't be that 20 year old ( in my case that ate half a ramen a day and couldn't walk anywhere without fainting) there's such a thing as a healthy weight! You're great! Be happy! ❤
thank you for giving me hope that my physical image isn’t everything no matter what happens. Happiness is so beautiful, and it’s much more stunning than any model. i’m hoping I remember this so I can be kind to myself and show myself compassion because sometimes I lose sight of that. :) I genuinely love your videos. They make me feel so safe and so accepted and not like I have to be something else. ❤❤ ALSO I LOVVVVEEE FOOD IDC IF I GET A BIT CHUNK ITS WORTH ITT 😂
@@Kissenkaempferhow about if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all. I have seen people that are overweight she definetly not one of them. All this crap about height to weight bullshit is wrong. Also got to do with your families genes.
As a fellow Vietnamese woman around your size, this is the kind of content I’d love to see more in the media and online. Thank you for being vulnerable with us. It absolutely helps, and we’re all right by your side in your journey to loving your body as well. 💙
I know, i empathize w you. I'm not Vietnamese, but I when I go to Japan to visit my moms family they keep calling me chubby cause I have a large chest and an hour glass figure. It's funny cause in USA it's a desirable figure, but in Japan I'm "plus sized".
@@WSH3TM”Factors such as age, sex, ethnicity, and muscle mass can influence the relationship between BMI and body fat. Also, BMI does not distinguish between excess fat, muscle, or bone mass, nor does it provide any indication of the distribution of fat among individuals.” Direct from cdc.gov
@@WSH3TMBMI calculator is BS for many people. I've been "critically underweight" for the past 15 years, but every doctor I've seen during that time says I'm perfectly fine🙄 according to BMI, I should be dead by now😂 but I just have a skinny body type
My family had always commented on my weight since i became young woman at 14. If I gain a few pounds "are you pregnant?🙄" i loose the weight "your too thin. Are you starving yourself🤨" My family's has always made me feel self concious about my bodys constant weight gain/loss. Is it intentional? No. Do i body feel normal? Yes. Do i feel healthy? Absolutely. I still question my appearance bc of it and quite often keep distant from family to avoid feeling like im being "judged." Despite all that ive learned to love and appreciate my body and its appearance... best feeling ever! 😊
Families don’t realize the pressure and pain a woman or a girl feels when their weight is talked about so “casually.” They create the perfect environment for an ED. Congratulations on loving and accepting yourself everyday.
My family told me literally every Day that i am too skinny. I know how it hurts to be confronted with something, You have no Controll over. I weigh 65kg at 186 cm. I damn know that is way too less, But my body wont Put on a ounce of fat. I Was stuffing my face with much food, didnt help. The comments about my weight didnt help either, to theyr surprise. I spoke to the that this is verry hurtful, got told u are a man, take it as a man 😂
Not when you see your own sister being obese destroying her health in front of you and stay silent. She is going through the same pressure by family but it's just impossible not to talk about it there is a difference between being chunky and healthy and being obese and unhealthy. She just doesn't seem to listen no matter what 😔 I feel so bad for her I want to help her but nothing helped she can only help herself when she wants to
Understand that. Show her what she is missing through being obese. There is nothing Else You can do, if she dont want it by herself like You said. In my case i am skinny, May looking unhealthy, But i am at least athletic and healthy. I hope she gets the turn.
@@JackSon-kn1uqI weigh a lot bc my bones are dense and I have a lot of northerner genetics. I'm never going to be skinny. I've been very athletic and fit. How your body looks often doesn't have much to do with how fit or athletic you are.
While true, it is also important that we push back against bullying and work together to make society more accessible and accepting of all people. Many times larger people are physically restricted in public spaces and often face discrimination for their bodies. They receive worse healthcare and are less likely to get job advancement compared with their peers. These are real problems and self-acceptance won't give you better access to healthcare or keep a roof over your head
@@cannotthinkofaname7904this is going to take forever ngl, maybe in a few generations if people keep up the good work but who knoes if the earth will survive that long
Girl you look great. You don’t look unhealthy at all. And you look super happy which is the most important thing. One of my best friends was 3/4 Vietnamese (her grandfather was an American soldier) and she happened to be a bit thicker so her family used to talk about her body a lot and she developed an eating disorder. But she’s living her best life now too and I’m so happy for her.
My mother doesn't look unhealthy. But it's hard to see high blood pressure and back pains with eyes. But she doesn't look unhealthy so everything is alright
@@realdragonYou just can't assume some medical problems ... yes, of caurse you don't always "see" this kind of things, but that's what doctors are for. It's not your, mine or anybodys place to assume something like that.
You’re healthy! It’s one of the side effects of having a loving boyfriend who cares about you. You don’t realize how angry you are when you’re skinny. Always hangry. When you have a caring boyfriend, they want to always be around that sweet loving girlfriend they know & love… and they’ve cracked the code that most of the time- it’s because we haven’t eaten. Especially for women who have grown up in areas where it’s the norm to constantly starve yourself. (Yes I know this is everywhere- but it’s okay to be chunky in Europe & americas while in Asia it’s less normal) when I gained my relationship weight, I was so disgusted with myself. But now I’ve realized that I’ve traded a bit of weight, for much better mental health, and a man who loves me regardless. And to me, that’s a WIN. Love you Uyen, it’s so important to talk about these things when you have a large platform. You’re honestly such a blessing to have on social media. And you’re someone I would want the little girls in my life to look up. Keep doing you, and don’t change *anything* because someone else told you to. You are the epitome of a healthy young woman and you and GB are the epitome of a healthy relationship. ❤❤❤
Honestly, you look healthy and beautiful. I really appreciate that you understand it's just a cultural thing and not actually an indicator of your health. I know it doesn't make it easier, but you acknowledging that is so important!
A friend from Romania saw me after I got engaged. I had gained a good 20lbs! She laughed and said it was "love weight!". Happy couples gain a few lbs together. I love that sentiment.
True! When me and my ex broke up, I lost 8 kg in a MONTH (due to not being able to eat anything in a day other than baby food packets and a boiled potato). Sure, I looked soooo good, but did I feel good? HELL NO I've met my fiance and we gained like 15 kg 😢
Your ability to put yourself out there gives me confidence to be myself…and I probably have 10 years on you. You are an inspiration to young girls and women, regardless of age. We are not thin, we are not fat, we are normal and just right. There is nothing wrong with us. Healthy looks different on everyone, especially since we all have a different genetic makeups. We will not hide; we will enjoy our life experiences, like everyone deserves to.
i’m so glad you know what you are happy in and that you don’t have to punish yourself for your size and fall to the pressure of your culture. i know it can be so hard to throw that pressure off
Word of the wise- just because being overweight and fat is normalized, doesn't make it okay or normal. You don't have to be super thin, starve yourself or go on an EXTREME diet, but be conscious of what you are (over) consuming and activity or lack there of! Being happy with being fat doesn't make it okay and doesn't mean concerned people are negative! This is toxic positivity!
This! I've recently reframed my feelings about my arms when I realized that their being "soft" allows me to give way better hugs than if they were thin and "toned" or whatever
As a Korean woman I feel you girl. Here in SK, especially in Seoul if anyone is over 49-50 kg they are told they are "fat" it's so toxic. As long as you are eating healthy and taking care of your health being a bit bigger than we were at 20 is not being unhealthy and it is not being overweight. I hope we younger generations of Asian women are able to stop this kind of toxic mindsets. You are beautiful.
@@MelB868 it depends on a person height, bmi, activity, etc. Saying that's underweight is just as hurtful, unkind and untrue as saying a certain weight is overweight.
@@lene3667 Uyens *family* told her she's overweight not everyone on the street. You shouldn't allow other people's behaviour to hold you back on enjoying your life and doing the things you want to do. If your weight (be it over or underweight) plays a part in not being able to enjoy your life its become an issue too. Nobody can change another persons behaviour but we all can change ours.
No shes definitely overweight. We should stop normalizing pathology. People don't have to look like supermodels to be considered healthy but they also shouldn't be overweight...And she does look like she is past her ideal weight.
@@raphu2272 passing your ideal weight isn't that unhealthy, it should be if she was 20 kg over it, but right now her weight isn't enough to be called a pathology
@@raphu2272Why do you repeat things that are objectively wrong under every comment? In bmi, the weight category that is considered """overweight""" is the one that lives the longest. Our ideas of health and weight are clearly completely askew when what we call healthy dies sooner than what we call unhealthy. She looks like she fits right into the measurably healthiest body type in terms of longevity. And living happily and confidently like she does also helps live a long life of great quality, which should matter more than weight.
As someone recovering through an ed- seeing someone love their body and not letting anyone stop them from doing so is so refreshing and honestly motivating. Thank you for being you ♡
Thank you I’m chunky and while I do wish I was smaller I have a sense of pride in who I am and not what people see. I have to remember I have been bigger and I have been smaller and was treated with disrespect at all stages. I have to make me happy now

My friend is in a similar situation and she just tells her family it's dangerous to be skinnier when living in a colder climate because you catch cold too easily😂😂😂
Anorexia and anemia make you weaker and they often come along with being thin. But not all thin people get sick easier. You can't get sick from the cold, unless you underdressed and outside for hours. You get sick from viruses off other people. They hang in the air longer in winter, so a city in winter is more dangerous than the countryside. But mostly in winter people rush inside and stay too close together.
@@CL-eg8mb by the fact they mentioned the cold climate, I don't think they meant sickness but "catching" physically cold, like how people say "ooh I just caught a chill". they're talking about the temperature not the common cold
@@proteinpapi7595 Obviously, obesity is unhealthy, but this video is talking about staying away from unhealthy dieting and not starving yourself to stay thin. She did say that she was going to exercise more, though. Besides, she's not even that overweight.
@@raylielume I just don’t understand why people always talk about extremes. Nobody said she has to starve herself to paper thin. There is a “golden middle path” (as we say in my language) in everything. And no you are wrong, she is overweight, which is again fine it’s her body but we shouldn’t act like she isn’t. People completely lost their perspectives on what is overweight and what isn’t. This is

@@shaneflannery1129just because she puts on 22 pounds doesn’t automatically mean shes fat. Tbh in my eyes she looks the correct weight for her height. Also we don’t know her actual weight and hight so people could just be judging her just because they are skinny 🤷♂️
@@shaneflannery1129being chubby and being fat are two different things and being obese is another thing more. People should understand the difference between a small amount of "overweight" and being fat or obese.

@@uyenninhyou are definitely not overweight and look healthy and great. But 10 kilos is a huge amount of weight gain in just one year.

That would help many others too 🥰
@@PurePeacePowerI think it’s because she was underweight before though. She talks of starving herself back then. So gaining that in a year may just be her body finally reaching its natural plateau and finding a healthy weight that’s natural for her body type
@@PurePeacePowerit’s really none of our business. She said she likes her size. 10 kilos will not be the end of her. People gain weight or lose weight all the time .
Thank you. ❤ Your positivity made me feel a lot better about my own body. It is nice to see asian women who are not super skinny but still bravely out there even tho other asians can be very judgemental and mean about a healthy body like yours and mine.
Thank you for being so vulnerable and honest with your audience. You’re so brave, it’s inspiring :) and not to mention, you should know, you are beautiful as well.

@@MelB868 that's so wonderful you're able to get healthier. Try not to focus so much on words like "obese, skinny, etc". Just try to be *_healthy weight._* My partner struggles with his weight. Over the 14 yrs we've been together, I've seen him fluctuate and struggle. He has a food addiction. That said, he's become healthier and so have a lot of other people, so you can do it to o! 😊
I am really in the exact middle range of normal weight, I am very happy with my weight and people regularly are commenting that they think I am too thin, “only skin and bones” just because my legs are a bit tiny. I hate that too! This is not caring about someone, it is just “I am commenting on you, however in some way you suck” But nobody sucks. Every person has its own comfort zone, its own problems, its own issues, and everyone has to the right to decide, how to be, how to look and how to live. Cheers ❤
🥺💜 you're really inspiring with how you bluntly stated "I'm not 20 anymore, I'm not starving myself or going on a super strict diet anymore" cuz I'm 21 and going through that. So I appreciate seeing the body positivity
Yes she's happy and she has successfully realized her goals, and she will be married soon. This didn't happen because she's skinny but because she learnt to love herself and she managed to find someone who really loves her. Focus on your happiness and not on your weight! Sending a lot of love.
Consider this: what if some of your best traits, the ones that will (or already have) attracted the best sort of partner (if that's even a thing you want), require you to have energy and a couple extra pounds? You can't be all of yourself when you're consistently greyed out, far away, and deprived of calories. You deserve the chance for all of you to be met, and other people also deserve the chance to meet all of you and maybe find something they really treasure. Not only does restrictive dieting take from you, it takes from your current and potential future community, too. Your future friends and partners might have a harder time finding you if you suppress everything nonstandard about yourself and stay calorie drained too often.
My family does this too. When my mom brought it up, I let her know ,"Yes, but I'm the happiest I have ever been". When my grandma brought it up, " Yes, and I am well taken care of so it shows". Essentially, you have to let them know that you won't be brought down by their negativity on your body that is yours. I hope everyone can simply be themselves in a world that profits from insecurities.
When I gained 2-3 kgs, I was still in my proper weight range according to my height. But I was underweight through my whole life, so people were habituated in that, 90% started saying I have gotten so fat, it was very painful for me to hear that everyday 🙁 I managed to remove that 2-3 kgs but still remain scared about getting it back.
@@nilanjasa007 2-3kg is barely even noticeable. If people are saying that to you there's something genuinely wrong with them. Especially if you were originally underweight.
@@natk1105it's only a very noticeable amount of weight to lose if you were very thin to begin with so that makes the original statement even more alarming. When I was in my healthy weight range, that was the fluctuation I might have between having my period and not having it. Now that I'm underweight because I'm sick you can really tell when I've dropped even a kilogram and a half.
Did some of yall watch this with your eyes closed? She is a very normal, healthy weight and yall treating her like she's obese She said she gained weight and that she's heavier than she used to be. But she used to be a 20 yr old who was starving herself so gaining a few lbs is not gonna hurt her. Literally LOOK at her, does she look unhealthy?
I think you look beautiful and healthy, and im glad you don't let the negative (if well-meaning) comments get you down. Some people think having even a little bit of chub makes you unhealthy, and theyre just wrong. If your doctor isn't worried about your weight theres no reason that you need to be either 😊
This made me cry so hard , not just the message but the fact that you are posting these beautiful, normal, healthy, full, non flat non edited oiled tanned or starved bikini pics in the world we live in was beautiful to see
This is incorrect, she is overweight, and her specific BMI is likely associated with an increase in all cause mortality. She is correct, her family is only trying to help her. Healthy at any size is simply a lie.
As a woman, I wouldn't date an overweight guy. Slightly overweight is fine but overweight is not for me. Since I'm slightly overweight but I do plan to go back to barely normal weight. Just need to lose 2 or 3 kg
@@naylisyazwina6836 Agreed, a few extra pounds is different than being overweight. People can be as positive as they want, being overweight is NOT healthy. How many really old fat people do you see? Think about it. Lol
You CAN have fat and still remain healthy. Obesity does not even have to be explained, it's UNHEALTHY and always will be. Severely underweight is UNHEALTHY too. A bit of fat, even chubby or the "average" healthy human weight is good and should be the aspired body types for a healthy happy life ❤
You are beautiful and if you are happy then embrace it!

Hmmmm... If you think so.
Well I tattooed myself, for myself, to be alone in my intimate space (in my room, you know) look in the mirror and see much more than anyone can see. To appreciate myself for more than just what other people see 😊 I accept that all bodies change all the time and vary with age.

You are adorable!
It's normal for everybody's metabolism to slow down as we get older.
Enjoy yourself!
Yeah, but that's different from gaining 20 or 25 lbs in a single year. That's not exactly healthy.
@@tasman001It depends on how many kilos she had before . And it's not necessarily unhealthy to gain 10 kg in a year as far as I know.
I think (my opinion) (Sorry for my English)
@@tasman001 when you live in a country that normalizes fatal eating disorders, then yes, it's actually totally normal.
@@tasman001 actually if youre starving yourself or have a history of forcing yourself to be skinny, its entirely normal.
@@amaliamihaela3012 Eh, I wouldn't necessarily agree. I mean, I'm over 6'0" and 200 pounds, and even for me gaining 25 pounds in one year is very unhealthy. She's obviously much lighter.

"I know that being healthy doesn't mean being super skinny" SO MUCH TRUTH. Thank you for being you!
"being healthy doesn't -have to- mean being super skinny"
Hence both cases can be healthy or unhealthy 💅
I kinda hate it.Theres a weight thats not considered overweight or super skinny.Why do you have to be super skinny to be "healthy"?.Its annoying how people twist the words in such videos.People commented on my unhealthy weight gain ≠ people want me to be a skeleton
@@cherissamuYeah. The message didn't make sense "super super skinny" "strict diet" all you have to do is have regular proportions of food
@@MoralWorldEater You first lil guy
@@MoralWorldEaterYou do know that from a medical standpoint, being overwieght is OK but obese is unhealthy, right?
Recognizing that they want what is best for you and SIMULTANEOUSLY recognizing that you know that isn't whats best for you is such a huge step towards healthy body image. So proud of you.
I can really tell that she has let herself go, and that is never healthy, one can eat lots of food and still stay reasonably healthy. Had she gained 10kg of muscle mass, I'd be impressed, 10kg of fat, no that's laziness and a heart attack waiting to happen. Each time I hit 56kg in weight, I feel fat, and I'm a dude. I used to weigh 59kg almost pure muscle, but due to mostly laziness I lost a lot of muscle weight and gained some bellyflab instead. I know that my body doesn't feel any better, and it doesn't matter how delusional I am about it.
But I guess, you body positive kind of people, need to go to Thailand and shop at an aptly named store for all the body positive people, it's called Moo Moo, or the store just a few meters away from it, Love Calories...
@@livedandletdie sorry you hate yourself. Hope someday you find happiness somewhere outside a mirror.
@@livedandletdie
Damn, didn't know that a guy knows more about a female's body than the female. Go touch grass and stop looking in the mirror for once. Body checking isn't cute babe.
@@livedandletdieJesus christ. You should talk to a doctor or psychologist about your eating habits. I don't know how tall you are but 56kg is a low weight for a male, and it sounds like you are forcing yourself into it to not "feel fat". Being underweight is horrible for your heart and can lead to premature death, it is much more dangerous than the overweight category which statistically lives longer than the "normal" one.
Fretting over weight control and numbers is not healthy. The stress from severe mental issues can take 10-20 years of your life. Please, take care of yourself.
@@livedandletdie I hope you receive the mental health help you need. It’s plenty of ways to find a therapist for your poor mental state online. Good luck😊
This shorts is exactly what I needed. I gained 10 kgs in the past 8 months, I live away from my family and when I went home last time, they made me really insecure about my weight gain. I used to be super skinny and that was counted as being sexy, but the man I'm with right now and his family feed me such good home-cooked meals, I've never felt myself being and eating this healthy. I was very insecure but this, this video was exactly what I needed. Thank you Uyen. ❣️💞
Honestly being a younger person, who is growing up in a toxic environment (school not my own home🙂), I’ve found so many body positive people on the internet, that help me overcome my eating disorder! I’m so happy that channels I love are so supportive like this!! Lots of love from Canada!❤

Comfortable bc someone is telling you it's OK to gain over 15 pounds a year. That ur drug of choice is ok. Food.
@@JessDougie-ro2hlas long as your healthy and exercising, in my opinion, it’s okay!! Gaining 15 lbs a year isn’t healthy, but if your getting off a really restrictive diet it isn’t too shocking
@@JessDougie-ro2hlwho cares?
@@JessDougie-ro2hl If you are near underweight from the beginning of the year and still within a healthy weight toward the end then yes, that is fine. It is just the inevitable, large adjustment to the entirely different diet norms of a new country. You need the “drug” of food to survive. If your drug of choice is restricting very necessary sustenance to feel in control, like she was doing, I recommend learning about eating disorders…

Your videos heal me, truly.
My family had always commented on my weight since i became young woman at 14. If I gain a few pounds "are you pregnant?🙄" i loose the weight "your too thin. Are you starving yourself🤨"
My family's has always made me feel self concious about my bodys constant weight gain/loss. Is it intentional? No. Do i body feel normal? Yes. Do i feel healthy? Absolutely. I still question my appearance bc of it and quite often keep distant from family to avoid feeling like im being "judged." Despite all that ive learned to love and appreciate my body and its appearance... best feeling ever! 😊
Families don’t realize the pressure and pain a woman or a girl feels when their weight is talked about so “casually.” They create the perfect environment for an ED. Congratulations on loving and accepting yourself everyday.
My family told me literally every Day that i am too skinny. I know how it hurts to be confronted with something, You have no Controll over. I weigh 65kg at 186 cm. I damn know that is way too less, But my body wont Put on a ounce of fat. I Was stuffing my face with much food, didnt help. The comments about my weight didnt help either, to theyr surprise.
I spoke to the that this is verry hurtful, got told u are a man, take it as a man 😂
Not when you see your own sister being obese destroying her health in front of you and stay silent. She is going through the same pressure by family but it's just impossible not to talk about it there is a difference between being chunky and healthy and being obese and unhealthy. She just doesn't seem to listen no matter what 😔 I feel so bad for her I want to help her but nothing helped she can only help herself when she wants to
Understand that. Show her what she is missing through being obese. There is nothing Else You can do, if she dont want it by herself like You said.
In my case i am skinny, May looking unhealthy, But i am at least athletic and healthy.
I hope she gets the turn.
@@JackSon-kn1uqI weigh a lot bc my bones are dense and I have a lot of northerner genetics. I'm never going to be skinny. I've been very athletic and fit. How your body looks often doesn't have much to do with how fit or athletic you are.

While true, it is also important that we push back against bullying and work together to make society more accessible and accepting of all people.
Many times larger people are physically restricted in public spaces and often face discrimination for their bodies. They receive worse healthcare and are less likely to get job advancement compared with their peers.
These are real problems and self-acceptance won't give you better access to healthcare or keep a roof over your head

You’re healthy! It’s one of the side effects of having a loving boyfriend who cares about you. You don’t realize how angry you are when you’re skinny. Always hangry. When you have a caring boyfriend, they want to always be around that sweet loving girlfriend they know & love… and they’ve cracked the code that most of the time- it’s because we haven’t eaten. Especially for women who have grown up in areas where it’s the norm to constantly starve yourself. (Yes I know this is everywhere- but it’s okay to be chunky in Europe & americas while in Asia it’s less normal) when I gained my relationship weight, I was so disgusted with myself. But now I’ve realized that I’ve traded a bit of weight, for much better mental health, and a man who loves me regardless. And to me, that’s a WIN. Love you Uyen, it’s so important to talk about these things when you have a large platform. You’re honestly such a blessing to have on social media. And you’re someone I would want the little girls in my life to look up. Keep doing you, and don’t change *anything* because someone else told you to.

Anorexia and anemia make you weaker and they often come along with being thin.
But not all thin people get sick easier.
You can't get sick from the cold, unless you underdressed and outside for hours. You get sick from viruses off other people. They hang in the air longer in winter, so a city in winter is more dangerous than the countryside.
But mostly in winter people rush inside and stay too close together.

Your positivity made me feel a lot better about my own body. It is nice to see asian women who are not super skinny but still bravely out there even tho other asians can be very judgemental and mean about a healthy body like yours and mine.
Protect this precious being at all costs.
Define all cost
@@bsw051Whatever it takes😂
@bsw051 it's just a generational saying, not literal 😅
Why?
Thank you for being so vulnerable and honest with your audience.
You’re so brave, it’s inspiring :) and not to mention, you should know, you are beautiful as well.
You’re so cute! The most impt thing is to make sure you and your doctor are comfortable w where you are health wise
not only are you very beautiful, you've also got a warm pretty smile!!! it's wonderful to hear you're less critical of your body now
As someone who’s not overweight but definitely not thin, it’s so nice to hear you talk about this and stand firm in your decision to forge your own path. I’m always inspired by your honesty and compassionate outlook 💖
My bmi is obese I’m 5’3” and 178 pounds so I lost 8 pounds
@@MelB868well done! 😁
@@MelB868 that's so wonderful you're able to get healthier. Try not to focus so much on words like "obese, skinny, etc". Just try to be *_healthy weight._*
My partner struggles with his weight. Over the 14 yrs we've been together, I've seen him fluctuate and struggle. He has a food addiction. That said, he's become
healthier and so have a lot of other people, so you can do it to
o! 😊
lmao its only because she already has a bf that doesnt really care , if she didnt she would lose that weight quickly
@@oussama123654789what the actual...
You don't look chunky. You look happy and healthy ❤
she can be both! healthy weight is a range, not a number ❤️
@@lookchookto a point... I mean, would you say Amy's husband, from my 600 pound life, was healthy?
Indeed! ❤
@@anneshirley9560that’s where the word range comes in.🤓☝️
@@KatsukiBakugooo ✌️ depends on how people are using the word.
Gurl you gorgeous they dont know whats best for you only you do ❤
I am really in the exact middle range of normal weight, I am very happy with my weight and people regularly are commenting that they think I am too thin, “only skin and bones” just because my legs are a bit tiny. I hate that too! This is not caring about someone, it is just “I am commenting on you, however in some way you suck”
But nobody sucks. Every person has its own comfort zone, its own problems, its own issues, and everyone has to the right to decide, how to be, how to look and how to live. Cheers ❤
🥺💜 you're really inspiring with how you bluntly stated "I'm not 20 anymore, I'm not starving myself or going on a super strict diet anymore" cuz I'm 21 and going through that. So I appreciate seeing the body positivity
Yes she's happy and she has successfully realized her goals, and she will be married soon. This didn't happen because she's skinny but because she learnt to love herself and she managed to find someone who really loves her. Focus on your happiness and not on your weight! Sending a lot of love.
Consider this: what if some of your best traits, the ones that will (or already have) attracted the best sort of partner (if that's even a thing you want), require you to have energy and a couple extra pounds? You can't be all of yourself when you're consistently greyed out, far away, and deprived of calories. You deserve the chance for all of you to be met, and other people also deserve the chance to meet all of you and maybe find something they really treasure. Not only does restrictive dieting take from you, it takes from your current and potential future community, too. Your future friends and partners might have a harder time finding you if you suppress everything nonstandard about yourself and stay calorie drained too often.
My family does this too. When my mom brought it up, I let her know ,"Yes, but I'm the happiest I have ever been". When my grandma brought it up, " Yes, and I am well taken care of so it shows". Essentially, you have to let them know that you won't be brought down by their negativity on your body that is yours. I hope everyone can simply be themselves in a world that profits from insecurities.
When I gained 2-3 kgs, I was still in my proper weight range according to my height. But I was underweight through my whole life, so people were habituated in that, 90% started saying I have gotten so fat, it was very painful for me to hear that everyday 🙁 I managed to remove that 2-3 kgs but still remain scared about getting it back.
@@nilanjasa007 2-3kg is barely even noticeable. If people are saying that to you there's something genuinely wrong with them. Especially if you were originally underweight.
That is *so well put* ; thank you
@@natk1105it's only a very noticeable amount of weight to lose if you were very thin to begin with so that makes the original statement even more alarming. When I was in my healthy weight range, that was the fluctuation I might have between having my period and not having it. Now that I'm underweight because I'm sick you can really tell when I've dropped even a kilogram and a half.
So real girl
as long as your health is PERFECT nothing matters 😭💗💗
Did some of yall watch this with your eyes closed? She is a very normal, healthy weight and yall treating her like she's obese
She said she gained weight and that she's heavier than she used to be. But she used to be a 20 yr old who was starving herself so gaining a few lbs is not gonna hurt her. Literally LOOK at her, does she look unhealthy?
Can I just say that you seem like the absolute sweetest person 🥹🥹
She isn't overweight or obese she just have little bit of fats in her body which its ok and does make u beautiful
I’m so glad you’re determined never to starve yourself again-here’s to growing into our bodies with love and care 💛
I think you look beautiful and healthy, and im glad you don't let the negative (if well-meaning) comments get you down. Some people think having even a little bit of chub makes you unhealthy, and theyre just wrong. If your doctor isn't worried about your weight theres no reason that you need to be either 😊
You are so beautiful, no matter what people say ❤ I'm so proud of you for being confident and not starving yourself.
This made me cry so hard , not just the message but the fact that you are posting these beautiful, normal, healthy, full, non flat non edited oiled tanned or starved bikini pics in the world we live in was beautiful to see
How many adjectives
@cookiegiwtf is your problemrl1097
@@cookiegirl1097 10, nice round number :)
Grow up
@@Frontline_view_kaiserYou sound like a sociopath. Keep it to yourself or be a better person. 🙄
Girl you’re beautiful inside and out! You’re not overweight, and that smile of yours is beautiful and contagious.
This is incorrect, she is overweight, and her specific BMI is likely associated with an increase in all cause mortality. She is correct, her family is only trying to help her. Healthy at any size is simply a lie.
As a woman, I wouldn't date an overweight guy. Slightly overweight is fine but overweight is not for me. Since I'm slightly overweight but I do plan to go back to barely normal weight. Just need to lose 2 or 3 kg
@@naylisyazwina6836A guy wouldnt date you either😂😂😂😂
@@naylisyazwina6836 Agreed, a few extra pounds is different than being overweight. People can be as positive as they want, being overweight is NOT healthy. How many really old fat people do you see? Think about it. Lol
@@tqrrxr Pretty sure they would.
Girl you are absolutely beautiful just the way you are!
Why did I laugh when she said, "alarming"😂
You ain’t Chonky. That’s a healthy happy body ❤
1.3k likes and still NO REPLIES? I’ll fix THAT
@@Lynthechickennuggetno
Is also bc of the clothes the make her look bigger sometimes but yeah
@@Lynthechickennugget shut up no one cares if it has replies or no
Truer words have never been spoken lol
Girl, you don't look chunky. You look healthy. And happy! We love to see it!❤
She does look chunky
she looks chunky and healthy but who cares shes happy
But she can be chunky and happy at the same time
Ppl r weird she looks normal lol
You CAN have fat and still remain healthy. Obesity does not even have to be explained, it's UNHEALTHY and always will be. Severely underweight is UNHEALTHY too. A bit of fat, even chubby or the "average" healthy human weight is good and should be the aspired body types for a healthy happy life ❤
I would have to either work out for years or have to spend thousands of dollars to look like you! You look amazing ❤
You are beautiful and if you are happy then embrace it! You're right we are not 20 years anymore lol I have gained a stubborn 10 extra pounds since I turned 30 and it isn't going away but I am still active and I know I'm healthy. It's part of life. We need to enjoy life more and not worry about being stick skinny. I enjoy your videos BTW. Keep it up
You’re so right. This is a beautiful message. You are a beautiful human.
