Coffee w/ Kaitlyn - Why I've Gained so Much Weight
Vložit
- čas přidán 31. 08. 2020
- Hey, my dudes! In today's video, I address my weight gain and speak about why it's not okay to comment on people's bodies whether they've gained or lost weight. I'm okay, I really am, and love you guys so much. ALSO: I didn't think to say it in the video but will be donating all proceeds from this video to an ED/Body image related charity that I will choose soon. I'll keep you guys posted.

Organization/Charity of the month: The United States Postal Service

What is USPS? Source: @blairimani on Instagram
"The USPS is vital for voting, the economy, accessibility, small businesses, employment, and rural communities. The Postal Service receives zero tax dollars. Funding comes from the sale of stamps, merchandise, services, and other products. Buying stamps from the USPS can keep it afloat. One 55 cent stamp allows anyone to send a letter anywhere in the United States."
Why should you care? Source: @chnge on Instagram
"The chances of a fair election may depend on the effectiveness of USPS. The white house rejected any financial aid to the USPS from the pandemic relief fund. Trump has pushed to privatize the postal service, which would increase shipping prices and hurt small businesses. These changes are happening because there's a white house agenda to privatize and sell off the public postal service."

Comments about weight are so unnecessary and truly hurtful. So proud of your strength, just donated to NEDA in honor of you...you got this girl & you look fabulous ✨❤️
Thank you so so much Kiara. I appreciate your support so much more than you even know❤️
For the record you owe no one an explenation
Be nice to each other in the comments, please! Let's educate with love not hate. ED resources are linked in the description. Also, I will probably just let the comments simmer before responding to most. I'll try my best to get back to every one of you guys! Love you all so much.
ALSO: I didn't think to say it in the video but will be donating all proceeds from this video to an ED/Body image related charity that I will choose soon. I'll keep you guys posted.
Hi, I never expected this video. I apologise for commenting on your last video about how I was watching u after 5-6 months, the obvious change and how u still looked good. I didn't know that you were insecure about ur appearance at all. I mean u look gorgeous how can u even be insecure (I know it was childish on my part). And I had no idea about ur ED.
Anyway, I had no intentions to hurt u. Once again I'm sorry if this bothers u 😊
Stay strong.
“Be nice to each other in the comments, please!”...proceeds to “like” comment “ayo shut you dumb ass up”
@@ofirgal2818 stop being so annoying
How old are you? 12?
I'm fat to be honest. and I know how is it like when people treat me because I look different than them. so I tried lots of things to change myself for them by giving up my valuable time. then I realized that appearance don't matter you're beautiful the way you are. you are like my sister because I know what it feels to deal with negative comments. and I hope you forgive me if I offended you by calling sister.
YOURE BEAUTIFUL AND I LOVE YOU!!!!
I LOOOVE YOU BBY
Hey Kaitlyn, I love your videos. I love how you're open about everything that goes in I your personal life. Would you mind dming me so we could talk?
I’m sooo proud of you! I feel awful that people would even say those things about you! Hope you’re pushing through!
This is all so true and timely! It broke my heart when people on Twitter were making jokes about Chadwick Boseman for losing weight, and the man was literally dying of cancer. It isn't anyone's place to comment on weight (or physical appearance for that matter), especially not over the internet. You just never know what challenges others are facing. Thank you for always keeping it real! I wish you the best on your ED recovery.
Hey Kaitlyn!! I was anorexic last year (I recovered in September- remember you’re so brave for getting through this, it’s so HARD!) and I’m also gaining weight! I see it as a positive thing- I see it as my body and mind moving on from the old mindset that anorexia gives you. Please don’t be disheartened, there’re so many people who watch you that are so proud of you becoming healthier and having the bravery to talk about this directly. Sending you lots of love 🥰
Congratulations on your recovery 🙂
I just spent 3 months in a treatment center for ED and so I understand where you are coming from. Negative comments hurt so much, and make recovery hard. But I know that you can do it. Recovery isn’t linear and ups and downs happen. Wishing you the best with your recovery and sending you love ❤️
Truly breaks my heart that you felt you had to explain this because of the comments you’ve been getting. That being said though, this has been really insightful, overall really helpful and so so motivating. I’m so proud of you and so happy that you’re doing what makes YOU feel good and what makes YOU happy. You are absolutely beautiful and the fact that you’re taking care of yourself the way YOU feel you need to be taken care of makes you even more so. I love you and good luck with the rest of your journey ❤️
heyyy, im so proud of you, i just wanted to say that you are beautiful, yo don´t owe NO ONE an explanation and just know that you are not alone if you feel like that, love u
congratulations on approaching this content, it really helps! wish you a good recovery and all the best for you! you are beautiful!
I know how hard recovery is and I'm so proud of you for how far you've come ❤️❤️
genuinely so proud of you ! you're already doing well i hope your journey is only filled with happiness
Yay! Oh my god! You're recovering and that is so good. I'm so proud of youu!
good job!! for treating yourself better and for speaking out! we all love you so much and you are so so beautiful no matter what❤️
you are so so beautiful, regardless of whether you gained weight or not. thank you for being so open about this! 💗
You’re great, and treating your body with kindness is important. It took me years to get there but it takes time! You are valid.
You're so beautiful and I'm really proud of you. I know what it feels like to hear judgments about your weight when you're actually struggling with sth that put you through weight gain, it's hard but at the end of the day it's you that matters the most.💗
I'm so so proud of you for being on the road to recovery! I know that it's terribly difficult to get yourself to get help (at least it was in my case). I can't believe people are still commenting on people's weight. You are so so amazing.
thank you so much for making a video on this - your bravery for opening up to many people shines out from you, and you're genuinely such a gorgeous human, no matter your shape or size
I am so proud of you, recovering is super hard and you are so brave. I want you to know that we love you and we are proud of you, you look amazing, I'm sorry that other people have made you feel bad about yourself, Lots of love💞
You are so strong! Thank you for sharing this story, even though you had no obligation to do so. Keep moving forward! Remember everyone, you are not alone. 💜
You are so genuine and strong! People on the internet can be brutal sometimes, but you addressed this in a really respectful way!! Loved the message, keep doing you
You’re such a sweetheart and I’m so proud of you. You inspire me 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️ love you Kaitlyn
You’re amazing. I’ve been watching your channel for a long time, and the fact that you have gained weight doesn’t change your amazing caracter or the quality of your videos. We are humans and we change eventually, like you said. I’m very happy for you and for your recovery. In fact, it is really important that people out of the society standards speak for themselves and represent others too. You’re doing an amazing job and you inspire so many people, including me. Thanks for your dedication to this channel and to all of us. You’re a bright star. Wish you the best 💘
Kaitlyn you look so happy and healthy and it’s great to see you taking care of yourself 🧡
I’M SO PROUD OF YOU! YOUR BEAUTIFUL AND YOU DESERVE ALL THE SUPPORT IN THE WORLD!! ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much for conversations with us about so many important topics. I appreciate it so much and I’m sure many other people do too. I have anxiety and seeing you talk about it and be so open about it has been so motivating to me. I love you ❤️
And yesss!!! Let’s please stop commenting on people’s weight. I hate when people bring up peoples weight.
You dont owe anyone an explaination but i love that you talk about these things🥺
Girl you're literally such an inspiration to me. So beautiful and sweet and you don't need to explain yourself to anyone! YOU LOOK AMAZING
absolutely gorgeous, love your videos! you do not owe us an explanation whatsoever but i’m so glad you decided to open up!
I’m glad that you’ve taken on recovery! It can be so challenging but so worthwhile to regain certain aspects of your life that you kinda lose in an ED. I hope you’re doing well through this challenging time. Sending love💚
First of all, you're amazing. I'm from Portugal and I've been following your CZcams channel for about a year and I've been following your journey. Don't let these comments affect you. You are beautiful, inside and out, a great inspiration to all the young people who see all your videos and I am so sorry that there are still people who comment this kind of things, without thinking twice about the consequences that can arise. Once again, you're amazing and try not to let this comments affect you, no matter how much it costs. I love you and I hope you continue with that contagious smile 💓💓💓
thank you so so much for this important video and discussion ❤️❤️❤️ i agree with everything you said!!! all the love to you and thank you for your videos, they really got me out of my months long unproductivity rut. xx
absolutely love you & your channel !!! you're such an inspiration to me
The fact that you like to help others is what makes you beautiful!!!! 🥰 Thanks for such great content!!!
im so sorry you had to address this :( but hopefully now people are more educated about it!! thank you for being honest about everything, we understand and love you just as much!! im so glad you're recovering and thank u for being so inspiring 💓
This is definitely a very touchy subject and for us trying to recover makes it even harder when we get body related comments (whether is "positive" or " negative"). I am proud of you and I send much love Xx
You are amazing and it’s good to see you being more confident with yourself ❤️.
Kaitlyn, a sincere thank you for taking care of yourself, bringing awareness to mental health and for maintaining your boundaries! I have daughters living with mental health issues who, like you, are fortunate to have support and the ability to self- advocate. Keep on being you and thanks again!
I love you so much, you are so strong, and beautiful, so openminded. I love that. Hope you keep getting better and healthier and happy ❤️🥺
Thank you so much for talking about this! I’ve watched an old video of yours and suspected and was look omg she looks amazing and healthy! Keep going I am in recovery and I know it’s hard! I am so proud of you and thank you so much for sharing your journey! I am sorry if you’re getting triggered. It’s amazing to see people in college struggling and opening up about it! ❤️
You are so strong and beautiful, thank you for sharing your message! I've been recovering from a 7 year battle with anorexia and it can be so hard in today's society and when you hear people's hurtful comments, but it is so worth it and we appreciate you speaking out about it
It is ridiculous how you had to make a whole video about this topic. You are so strong and such a beautiful person and soul too. I am happy when I can see you are getting healthier and recovering from your ED and that proves how amazing you are. Always love and support your channel
Giiiirl, how could we not worry 🥺, you're so sweet and lovely, I assure you, you have our support, I'm so happy that you're having so much progress!!!
thank you so much for addressing this important topic. It's such a nasty habit of society to teach people that losing weight is positive and complementing it is even more appreciated. I´m in recovery from anorexia and those comments can be so hard to handle. It's hard to accept weight gain for yourself but it's even harder when you have to justify it. Keep in mind your health (mental and physical) is always the first priority. Even when it's hard, try to ignore those comments and be proud of yourself for taking care of yourself and your body. You are worth it. True beauty comes from the inside and if your happy and healthy you´ll be your most beautiful self. 🍀
Thank you for sharing. I think it’s wonderful you’re working on yourself. I have the opposite eating disorder and overeat. Eating disorders are so vast and people should really understanding gaining, losing, and being overweight are more than the eye sees. I’m so very proud of you!
she deserves all the love in the world, you are amazing ❤
Your soul shines!! Thank you for making this
You inspire me to recover everyday! You’re beautiful inside and out! ❤️ I just gained more weight and you make me feel so understood! Please don’t stop what you’re doing!!! 💜🤍😇
You are so amazing and beautiful, Kaitlyn! I hate the fact that you even had to make this video and explain yourself because people simply need to mind their business. I'm so proud of your progress and how you've been taking care of yourself. Your videos are so inspirational and I'm so glad that there are people like you in the world!
You are so strong❤️ I’m so proud of you!💕
Thank you for posting this more people need to be reminded of this
Thanks for the video 💕💕 I 100% agree with not commenting on things that people can't change about themselves.
The fact that kaitlyn gives me motivation to get my life together is the best!! :)
So glad you opened a conversation on such an important issue. Best of luck on your recovery jurney, I hope there wont be any ups and downs and your health is only geting better ❤ Just wanted to add that body wheight is influenced by many factors regarding not only our diet, but overall our metabolism, mental health, physical activity, personal preferance, hormones, age, medications and other health issues we may counter in our lives.. so it's not possible to have the slightest idea about why sb's body image might change. And even if we did it's non of our business.
I believe we should focus on being able to love our bodies in any given shape or wheight.
Having said that, change can be good and safe when it comes from a level of shelf respect and it provides an improval of our health. We should selebrate our bodies for enabling us to do increadible things every single day and never take them for granted.
This can only lead to being respecful to other people and.. let them be. Let any imperfactions be their own unique beauty and let their inner beauty find no barriers when shining through the body that they own. ❤ can't you see you are all beautiful people?!
(Sorry for the long post and any mistakes, english is not my first language)
I love how open you are about things like that. I was always a really skinny person but for the past few years I've finally been able to gain some weight. I never struggled with an eating disorder, but I felt awful about literally just gaining muscles and therefore weight ( I work out a ton). I still can't stand on a scale because of how awful it makes me feel to know how much I weight, even though I'm still super skinny. And it's literally just because my whole life a huge part of my identity was looking like a skeleton, and I was scared of people noticing that I gained even a tiny amount of weight. It just sucks so much that no matter how you look like there's always people who will judge you, and therefore make you feel bad about yourself. And the worst judge is unfortunately our own mind :( again, thank you so much for opening a discussion about struggles like this, it will definitely help a lot of people
i’m new here... literally discovered your videos 2 hours ago lol because i wanted to journal and i knew off the bat i enjoyed your channel. watching this newer video and learning that people have been commenting rude comments hurt my heart. i’m so happy your recovering and doing all you can to get better!!
Angelica Ruiz thank u so much❤️
You are AWSOMEEEE 🤗 you go girllll💪🏻 i always thought this way about those kinda comments but never said anything 🙈 thank you so much for speaking about it ☺️
💙💙💙 I love u people still talking , I subscribed u 2 years ago and I like what u are doing
As I saw this pop up in my subscription box, I thought it was crazy you were even addressing this as it's no one's business, and as someone who has gained weight in quarantine and has really seen it damage my mental health & perception of myself, I was worried about what you would say. However, this is the best way to address this topic, and I'm so sorry you've been receiving these questions. You are so strong for speaking up about how this is wrong and turning this into a positive through the fundraiser. Thank you so much for this video, and seriously fuck yall who see Kaitlyn as anything but a strong, beautiful, intelligent young woman!!!
Thank you for this video, I think it’s really important to speak about these things and try to educate others. A lot of people comment on somebody else’s body just because they immediately connect losing weight to something positive and gaining weight to something negative but, as you said in this video, it’s not like that at all.
Hopefully your message gets across. Thank you again and have a wonderful day 🤍
I love you! you are so eloquent. sending all the love!
You’re so gorgeous! Thank you for being honest and so strong! Hope everything will be 👌🏻
you look so much happier and so much healthier! as someone who struggles with binge eating disorder (aka the one people don't believe in) it's nice to see someone talk so openly about recovery and health. i'm not in recovery yet, but i'm trying to get better. this quarantine has been hard but thank you for giving me hope 💖
Gurll u know what you are perfect .your body is beautiful and so are u. We all love u and support you.
Coming from someone who has been pretty skinny all her life and then gaining so much weight within these past 2 years, I thank you so much for this video. You are so strong and you inspire me. I love you and I admire how you use your platform! ❤️
Ugh, I feel this. Quarantine has made me gain a few kgs and people keep mentioning it without realising that this is the first time in years that I haven't been struggling with an ED. It's frustrating, so thanks for putting your story out there. I hope it helps open some hearts and minds 🖤
i loved the video kaitlyn! love the attempts at deconstructing fatphobia, it truly is something so hard to unlearn. unhealthy eating habits are so hard to break, i still have to remind myself that eating is not a privilege and that i deserve to eat. i used to get so invested in being productive or not feeling validated with my productivity that i wouldnt eat but i am improving. i remind myself even when ive done nothing all day that i deserve to eat and my body needs food.
Sending much love!
No matter what ppl say u are loved more than u know. U r gorgeous just the way u r and if ppl judge u about ur body or weight know that they aren’t mature and aren’t ready to face the world. And to Kaitlyn u r such and inspiration I am so proud of u. I love u so so so much and stay the queen u r❤️
So proud of you! You set a beautiful example
Kudos to you for speaking out about something THIS personal to you. We definitely do not need to justify why we look the way we look. Perhaps some people want to say out loud their observations thinking it's for your good, but it is SO easy to forget that a digital divide is more often a physical and social divide as well. Do not be afraid to say why you have a particular mindset - you just have to be respectful, and know when to stay shut up. My personal belief is that commenting on physical features, especially empty criticism, is cheap.
As a true fan I’m here to support you! 🙌🙌🙌🙌 You are beautiful inside and out! 😀😀😀
To hear you say you're proud of your weight gain sounds like you made huge progress in case of your eating disorders, proud of you...
You look absolutely fabulous! Weight means nothing. Sending lots of love your way
It means a lot that you're talking about this. I am in recovery for ED and it can be really hard when someone comments on my body. 💙💙
No matter what, you are amazing inside and out and theres alot of us behind you 1,000%. Stay well and I also added $20 to you and the NEDA Foundation ♡♡♡. I'm always here if you need absolutely anything.
You are amazing. Thank you for sharing your experience!
hi kaitlyn
U are glowing and I am so proud of u!
Sooo proud of you !!!
I assume posting this video may leave you more anxious, so I'm here just to say you are brave, you are strong, you are worth it and of course you are loved! Thank u for sharing!
hey kaitlyn! i’m usually a more quiet subscriber but since i’m dealing with similar things i’d like to comment. i’ve had anorexia b/p for a while, but i’ve gotten myself into a situation where i’ve gotten extreme hunger so bad this binge have lasted for 1 1/5 months, as if my body thinks i’m trying to recover. i’ve gained like ten pounds ;-; you look amazing sweetheart, prouda you! it’s worth it to keep going with recovery, i’m not there yet but i wish you the best! 😘
I love you Kaitlyn! Please know I am here for you :). A guy I am talking to also has a eating disorder. Thank you for explaining your story with us! Keep up your good work
Ayeee! I really loved your vlog, really looking forward to more college vlogz 🥰💞
People should know better than to comment on someone else's weight. I'm really proud of you for how far you've come in terms of recovering from your ED and for talking about it and bringing awareness on such an important topic even though you don't need/have to justify yourself over your weight gain.
Lots of love from Portugal ❤️
I think you’re incredibly beautiful! I just started watching you and you have such an amazing and light about you. I can tell it’s from your heart and no matter what you always have people that love and care for you! Keep going’s!!!!
I am so proud of you❤️ I really hope you recover
I can't believe people think it's okay to say such things. You don't know me, but I feel like I've gotten to know you over time and I'm really proud of you. You're doing so good with your recovery and with school and everything and still you're so good and kind! I hope you know that most of your subscribers love you and are rooting for you❤️
i also struggle with a eating disorder. it is very difficult for anyone who has an ED to get help so i am very proud of you . It is not anyone's business to know that you have gained weight. Thank you so much for sharing with us how you feel
oh god, you are the sweetest. you absolutely don't need to come here, but you did and this is really brave. i'm proud of you.
So proud! Well done for staying strong while people hate comment. No one knows what someone else is going through.
I hope you complete your journey to being healthy super soon ❤️ please don't let these awful comments get to you, you're doing awesome. Love from India :)
We Stan you queen ✨✨✨
I have had an eating disorder for 3 and a half years now. I understand exactly how you feel. I have always been chubby therefore the -20kg change was very obvious and eye catching. People began commenting on my body, pointing out how good I looked, not knowing how much they actually harmed me. I was in a very dark place mentally and nobody gave me any breaks to put myself together. My life was and still is so fast paced that its impossible to take time to yourself and heal. I managed to gained the weight back and I'm now still facing metabolism issues due to all the starving and the binging. I hope you manage not to pay any attention to the rude comments you're receiving! Good luck with your recovery Kaitlyn! I'm rooting for you!❤
No need to explain anything to anyone.. Take care of you!! and you're GORGEOUS!!! God Bless💜
You are beautiful the way you are and never let anyone say that you are not. Never let them bring you down. You are on the right way.
You go gurl!! 💗☺️
You didn’t need to address this. Keep moving forward with happiness and good health. Let the negativity stay where it belongs. I hope you enjoy the new semester.
We love you kait!
