this is so beautifully written, and SO though provoking. please do more of these, I can't stop replaying it :) xx


This is so good, I feel the exact way but I'm probably doubled your size! <br>Lots of love being sent from Ireland xxxxx

This is so good, I feel the exact way but I'm probably doubled your size!
Lots of love being sent from Ireland xxxxx


But I'm just going to say right now that I'd give anything or your body...


She's not wrong when " chubby " people say they'll go for a run they'll be made fun of like yeah your going to do that and instead they say home felling insecure shoving ice cream into their mouth hoping and praying that'll make them feel good


I feel a lot like that, but rather than losing weight, I feel pressure to gain some. I'm a stick, and I hate it.


i write poetry about my past with depression and anxiety and eating disorders so if you liked this check me out


Hah ironic im skinny and i wanna be fat :) but thats life eh?


it doesn't matter how skinny or fat you are as long as you know your beautiful who cares what people think your beautiful Dodie


I'm jealous thats some pizza hut level ice cream


You don't want to be skinny trust me I'm skinny you get look at in the same way


yassssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss thank u dodie


watching this again while gorging myself on easter chocolate... oops


You see, I’m TO skinny..all I want to do is gain some weight. I’m a bit underweight!


There is nothing wrong with being a bit chubby, as long as you are healthy. Eating your feelings will only make you feel worse from the inside out.


There's nothing wrong with going for a run and eating salad. Skinny isn't the word but HEALTHY is.


I wish I were weightless but I know it’s not healthy


But after this it won't be that way any more :)


I am too skinny, not cos I’m anorexic my body’s just like “no no, you’re gonna stay skinny” I am unhealthy ;-; I’m 5”3 , 14 and 103 pounds


Completely unrelated... love the crochet blanket in the background. Who made it?


But DODIE has nice thighs and a flat stomach?? I am the confuse.


I feel too skinny and too self discriminating


I totally agree with you, but I dont like how you've used the word skinny in the title, as I'm very slim myself and I feel kind of offended by the word, but no hate, its just an opinion


i dont care if you are fat as long you aren't unhealthily so
I dont care if you are skinny as long as yo arent unhealthily so(like many supermodels are)
face>body


why does this remind me of riley mathews from girl meets world? i don't even watch that show😂


Also, that pouch of skin on your stomach? That's where all your organs are


I agree with everything
Everyone should accept skinny, fat, chubby
I don't want girls and guys starving themselves because they see a post about someone saying skinny is what everyone should be.
But when a girl or guy who can't gain weight as easily is too thin for their liking, they tell them to eat a burger. As if eating a burger or a whole fucking buffet will help them.

Our society needs to learn to accept everyone.


dont give up darry poor guy what did he do to you


I'm a size 00...I eat constantly, however, I am unable to gain weight. People always make jokes about it. It really is offensive when someone says "do you ever eat?"

You just have fast metabolism I'm the same way.


I'm in the triple numbers, but I'm 5 foot 5 inches (I'm Ten Years Old)


My stomach isn't flat  i have so many pimples and pimple marks. My hair gets pretty crazy most times. But i love my self so much. I have to be honest sometimes i feel ugly when i look in the mirror but most times all i see a beauty. And i say to myself "Damn girl! You look fine!"

Thanks! I hope more people see themselves as beautiful ppl


i have the opposite problem. my bones show way more than other girls'. and wow, would you look at that, your fingers can touch while going around my wrist! i must have anorexia, they say, don't you ever eat they say, fuck those skinny bitches who have no problems, they say.

but yeah, my bones show way too much and wow, you can fit your fingers around my wrist, but no i do not have anorexia and i am not a skinny bitch with no problems.

and i have tried to get more weight and i have tried so much but my body type is not big and i cannot change that in two fucking seconds.

so please, don't body shame anyone. have a nice day.


Dear chubbies of the world, <br>It's not your fault. There's so much already against us, we don't need to be against each other, too. Did some of us choose to be fed formula? To be given rice cereal in our bottles? Are we collectively knowledgable on things like MSG, and GMOs? Do we realize the effect our food has on us and place blame there? Or even knowing can we fight the addiction to sugar and processed foods? Is it our faults that we are the constant target of ad campaign after ad campaign feeding our minds the crap we put into our bodies?? Or how you practically have to be a certified nutritionist to walk into a grocery store and actually come out with something healthy? We live in a world where convenience rules and even our "fresh" food is contaminated. For some of us, obesity begins on day one, and is a life long battle. There's no money in educating the masses to be healthy and vital, to remove the poisons from our grocery stores. We are customers of the pharmaceutical companies, and our children are future customers. We can change for sure!! But we have to do it together.

Not trying to be rude, but for me the best way to lose weight was going to a dietician. I know, maybe  you find a bit of solace in food or you don't want to eat, but going there isn't just for weight loss. It's for a healthier and balanced lifestyle.


i get what you were saying about not comforming to society's pressures to be skinny, but it does kind of come off as body shaming for those who are skinny - it just kind of sounds like you're angry at people who are skinny for having the body they have, and that's not on. just saying x


But your so skinny! I wish I was like u...


'If you use your brain you won't get fat' - L. Lawliet


I'm telling you being thin, isn't that great either, i'd rather be plump or at least a size 12 again.


Im all ready skinny because i dnt eat breakfast before school cause i have no time


A size 0 fairy

Make me a fairy whatever it takes


I feel the opposite, I HATE being skinny. My jeans always sag because I have no hips, no thighs, no butt. I'm always cold because I have no meat. I'm your stereotypical white girl


Funny how my schools idea of "healthy living" is teaching me how to hate my body by shouting out my weight and body fat to all these beautiful girls and making me shower when I already wear tank tops under tees so I don't show any stomach. Funny how when trying to encourage me to stay active by forcing me to run and compete with people five times my skill level they actually make me want to curl up and die or at least never move again. My self confidence is at an all time low and yet when I tell people these thoughts the response is "they're just excuses" "stop being so lazy" "it's not that hard" "there's nothing you can do so stop whining" "do it or you'll be punished." Did you know you can fail gym at my school for not getting naked and showering? Sorry I'm only comfortable wearing multiple bras in an attempt to flatten my chest. Sorry I don't want to compare myself to other girls and make me hate myself even more. Sorry I don't want people to see my scars on my stomach. Sorry I don't want to show everything to a room full of practicality strangers. Sorry I'm not okay with that.


it makes me sad that you at that way thought that you were fat. my arms are probably bigger than your legs and my legs are probably the size of your waist. and let's not begin with my waist. i just hate to see girls with perfect, normal bodies hate themselves and call themselves fat when me, and overweight girl is here trying so hard to love her body but she just can't.


I'm skinny.. flat stomach, bones poking out... the whole lot. I don't want to be like this. I can't drag myself out of my bed in the morning, I struggle to go to University, I barely leave my flat, I'm scared to go clubbing because it's so crowded and I get crushed and pass out, I faint on trains.. in public.. in my own room.. in the shower, I love food, I'm too little to eat a lot of it so I end up starving anyway because I can't force myself to eat a lot. It's the worst. I'm always ill and sometimes I get worried I might die. I don't know why I'm skinny, I don't do it on purpose, and so many people wish to look like me or have my body but I really wish they didn't wish that. It's not fun to be skinny like me. I'm fed up of fainting. Skinny is beautiful, fat is beautiful, everyone is beautiful.. but beauty doesn't always equals 'healthy'.


i am a fridge<br>me being a little overweight keeps me warm lol

i am a fridge
me being a little overweight keeps me warm lol

+ThePhandomHurts  i'd love this more if it ended 'i am a fridge and that's okay'


It's not about being skinny or fat. It's about being healthy.


...Some people don't get it. I'm naturally skinny and I hate it. I get called twig alot at school, I wish I wasn't like this, maybe then boys would be interested...:/


I am fat that's not an insult that is a fact but because I am fat that makes me no less smart no less funny no less a good person and most importantly it makes me no less beautiful I am fat maybe but I am a beautiful human who deserves to be here I only have one body and I need to treat it kind not throwing up my food every night because I want to look like the Instagram models I am fat but I am beautiful !


I hate my body. All I want to do is be skinny. A size 00 or even a size 2


what's wrong with being a size 0??? God dammit its hard too I cant find any clothes and that joke you made about arms and  you could snap yeah I get that everyday... thank you so much dodie... 😒

Oh my god, it's like 5am here and my writing is really messed up. I meant it just refers to people who think they are too fat and should also encourage skinny people to love theyre bodys (and yeah, simply everyone every where, no matter how a body looks) 😅

Hey ☺ I don't think this was a joke, even ehen it was, not in a mean way. When we talk about a healthy body image, naturally skinny people almost ever get shaded, thats a sad truth. But what is important to remember in this conversation, even when it's poorly made: it <b>should</b> reffer to people who are on a higher or much higher weight and starving or trying to starve themselfes to a size 0 or 00. When we engage in this conversation we should not only encourage people affected by this side of the spectrum, but also skinny people who are naturally skinny or just because they are very healthy or athletic. Remember when you watch this video, that it is very old and dodie didnt want to offend anyone.

I want to be fat but I'm size 0 90 pounds 13 years old and people call me many names...


Dodie, wth, you are skinny. Your clothes are wearing you?


I feel fat a lot and I wish I was skinny


What the fuck you're not fat at all, YOU'RE skinny Dodie !


I honestly hate the way my body looks. I am 5'3 and 130 lbs. I have a big stomach, and smallish thighs. I also have a very wide body and no hips or curves. They look so weird together. I can't wear tight clothes without looking weird. I can never find the right pair of jeans. They are always either too big around the legs, and too tight around the waist or vise versa. I want to lose weight and eat healthier, but too unmotivated to do anything nowadays. I tried everything to lose weight. I barely ate for about a week. I was so proud of myself that I started eating again and gained back all the wieght. I hate going out to big family meals because I feel like I have to eat a whole bunch of food or my family will yell at me. I'm never happy anymore because of this. I've lost all motivation. I constantly feel like crying and/ or throwing up. I need help


I obsess about being skinny...I weigh myself everyday... I am 101lbs now and still that is not enough for a fourteen year old girl like me...I want to be in my 90's for weigth...I am not thin enough...


This made me feel bad because I am skinny as heck. I don't want to be. My body is unporportioned. My hands look too big for by arms. You can see my bones and joints by just a glance. Yes some tubby people do not like their body. But some skinny people don't either. If we get too skinny some are scared they will look anorexic. And you know they have a bad reputation for some odd reason. People don't like them, think they are disgusting but they don't see they are just really skinny. People make talks and videos about how tubby people should love themselves. Well what about the skinny folks. Some of us hate ourselves too. Im sorry if this is bad or brought you down. I truly do love Dodie a hella lot. Its just. I am skinny and I hate my body. And there are so many things saying big is good and skinny is bad. I just wanted to say something


I am a UK size 6/8, and I hate being naturally skinny. I look in the mirror and sigh because I don't have much shape to pull off certain clothes. I have to listen to people saying how "it doesn't matter if you're not skinny, who wants to be a bag of bones, with disgusting stick thin arms and legs?" etc. It's just as hurtful as making fun of someone's fat. I struggle to put on weight, as one may struggle to lose it. People shouldn't say things like "thigh gaps are disgusting," some of us don't choose to be the way we are.


I'm not very confident in my body I'm 13 I have problems with the way I look and it doesn't help that some people call me fat and tell me that I need to loose weight to be pretty and I'm only 13 looks shouldn't be on my mind but I cant help it because I'm always told that being fat makes you less pretty. but I only have big thighs and I can't change that I'm a very sporty girl but it's hard to play sports in England because it's always cold or raining.


everyone says I'm skinny but I look down and all I see if fat. my mom said I need to eat more. you can even see my bones like my collar bones and shoulder bones and ribs. I'm still not skinny enough. I skip meals sometimes when I feel gross. I wake up at 5:00 and take a jog until I'm ready to pass out before school. I try but no matter how hard I work I don't think I am skinny. everyone said I am but…
I weigh 96 lbs and I'm 13
I hate myself

@thefabulousjessie I don't want to alarm you, but you might want to get screened for body dysmorphia. It's basically a fancy way of saying that you think you're fat when you're not. I'm a recovering anorexic, and trust me, I know it's terrifying to get help, but your body will thank you for it. I used to be so tired all the time, and I couldn't keep up on my school work because my body and brain were basically shutting down from a lack of nutrients. I'm only partially recovered, but I have so much more energy now and I'm actually starting to feel better about my body. If you need any help on how to figure shit out feel free to message me <3

I'm so sorry, I'm really skinny and trust me it's not that great, I get called names. Honey if you're healthy it shouldn't matter you're size even if you are skinny. I know this won't help because I can't change your view of you're self but you're beautiful even if I haven't seem you, the outside doesn't matter it's what's on the inside, and you seem wonderful <3


I whant to say something about this topic but I am having a meltdown. 🙁 I will go away and eat ice cream now


I really do hate my body. No im not fat but I'm not how I want to look. I dream of wearing leggings like my best friend but I don't ever want to show my butt that way. I am really insecure about my stomach and legs and even my face. I have gotten better but every now and then I just don't want to eat because I'm afraid of what peopel might think if they look at me. I only wear skinny jeans and I'm always scared that people will look at me wrong. I always go out of the house with skinny jeans to maybe think I'm beautiful but then I look at my thighs when I sit and the look huge. I wish I was skinny.


As I said   Your Very Clever & talented,,         with  19,088 I would  Class that as your 1st World Show.  Bodies Grrrrr   I was 9 st for 30  plus yrs, <br>Now I'm  Scared to get on the Scale's at 59,,  l o l                                                  Too many  Chips,  Crisps, Custard Creams  & Cheese

I wish I was a size 0... i'm currently a 10 and its not great, I'm 15 pounds overweight and I feel like a monster.  Like a big blubbery monster who doesn't exercise enough and eats too many bad things(even though i had a salad today).  I tried to lose weight once and it was going really well, I got down to 9 pounds and I was walking 3 miles a day.  But, school started and that completely went out the window.  I see so many people that are skinny and i'm so jealous, I just want to be happy, I want to be able to have some chocolate and not feel like I'm breaking a law.  Or not constantly think about my weight if I see someone skinnier than me.  I would rather not be able to gain weight than what I have to deal with now.


SHE'S SO SKINNY WHAT IS SHE TALKING ABOUT??????


These videos are making me feel so much worse


I hate my body but i was always overweight. from when i was born. And I was bullied and I am still told and I'm standing here like "I KNOW. STOP TELLING ME. I KNOW" it makes me sad because people think they need to change me. but it's only mine body and i'm healthy, i don't eat junk, i was just born chubby because i have it in family so why only I have to be skinny... :<< but hey Dodie, amazing work <3


friends are chubbier than me and people are comparing us sooooooo I'm trying to gain weight and it's rrrrrrreeeeeaaaaalllyy hard for me to gain appearance weight


Missed the point. Don't be thin and unhealthy or fat and unhealthy. Even it out. Thats the message.


I think body acceptance should be definite, but do we really have to eat such unhealthy foods to feel good? Junk food never nourishes, and that's why the body still feels hungry; it's not getting the nutrients it needs. Perhaps instead of shaming the plus-size AND the small for their choice and diet, we should focus on living more wholesomely.


Think about the animal kingdom, the strong bulky lions are the hunters over the deer etc. with their long slender necks and skinny legs.


im skinny and i hate it... i wish i could put weight on but i cant


AH why did I click on this so so triggered :(


Eat ice cream. Curvy women are beautiful


This Definitely Speaks To Me. Eating Disorders Are Terrible


i'm 11 and overweight. i weigh about 140 pounds and i look bigger than my peers. i probably know what you're thinking, but i am trying my best to make my weight go down. i have been running, swimming, skipping meals. nothing is helping and nothing is happening. weight loss is different for everyone. my meal schedule is all over the place and i'm looking in the mirror at myself and feeling disgusted. i'm still on the journey to love myself but i'm still so far away from it and confidence. i have been drowning myself in countless thoughts about how my ass looks too huge, or my thighs look too fat. drowning myself in insecurities. tbh i'm just so sick of it.

Just start exercising & eating healthier, but DO NOT skip meals, it's terrible to do that. hope everything works out ❤

Ms.fandøm someone who replied to the original comment

140 pounds is light for an 11 year old? I'm sorry, but that's complete bullcrap. I'm eleven and a little under 70 pounds, and I don't look too skinny. 140 pounds is nearly 20 pounds heavier than my mom, who is a healthy weight as well. Please don't spread around lies like that. 140 pounds is in no way healthy for an 11 year old unless the 11 year old is like 6 feet tall.

whatever you do don't skip meals. once you start it's hard to stop, and tbh it usually doesn't do anything in terms of weight, it just leaves you malnourished so you can't grow properly. puberty usually helps balance out people's weight so all you have to do really is wait . and anyway, 140 pounds is pretty light, you've got nothing to worry about :)

When puberty properly kicks in, you will lose a lot of weight. To be honest, skipping meals is a bad idea as it messes up your metabolism, so when you do start eating properly, you will gain weight faster. Just make sure you have a healthy diet and do plenty of exercise xx

If I were you I wouldn't worry about it too much. Many people are chubby before they hit puberty. I know I was. But then puberty happens and we all get taller and the fat's gone all of a sudden. I think that's called growth spurt? (or something)

Anyway..

So no worries, you're beautiful the way you are :)

pls excuse my awkward english. i'm not a native speaker


can I be your firend? plz. I need people like you around


Im worried about you Dodie! you mention calories an awful lot for someone who is 5'8 and seven stone! That's actually underweight!!


i hate my legs.
and tub.
that fat that just shouldn't be there....
but ... cake though...


What u look like doesn't matter, as long as your healthy and eat healthy. Billions are wasted each year from preventable diet/lifestyle related illnesses.  loving ur body isn't eating icecream bc u love it no matter how it looks, loving ur body is nourishing it with healthy foods and proper exercise.  (So u should love ur body no matter what, bc if u don't it's harder to treat it well and b healthy)  Just eat mostly plant based whole foods and find an exercise u enjoy and can do consistently. simple as that :) also there's lots of healthy alternatives to unhealthy foods, easily accessed through the internet; fries= chopped, baked potatoes, icecream= blended frozen bananas, meat= veggie burgers, etc. there's a healthy delicious version of EVERYTHING :D so yes I agree u should always love ur body, but I don't agree that eating icecream is a good way to do that. lol sorry I kind of got carried away, and people will probably b offended somehow, i mean this is the internet for gosh sakes, oh well. <b>posts anyway</b>

Don’t worry us skinny girls have our downs too like
1.get used to being called a twig
 2.people will say your weak
3.when you tell your weight get used to people saying be ashamed
4.people will say do you have a disorder
5. I wish I was like you
6.THIS IS THE WORST ONE :*when a random girl comes up too you and takes her fingers and wraps them around the perimeter of your hand and goes OMG OMG OMG i can wrap my pinkie around your hand you need to stop working out
7.this only to girls like me who are very skinny but not to skinny :you will get cramps when you run
8. People will say do you even eat to that I say yes I eat and I probably eat more than you
9.stop working out :to that I say I DONT WORK OUT I WATCH T.V THATS IT
10.you don’t need to get fat :to that I say why don’t you try to be naturally skinny for a month yea it’s hard

I’m skinny and it’s not that bad. Just try developing thicker skin.


Everyone always talks about the girls who think they're fat and want to get skinny.. then there are people like me who have been trying to get over 50kg for a year (it was my last new years resolution, it's going to be the one this year as well.)<br>You all think you're ugly just because you have round cheeks, I've been called the flat girl ever since I became a teen and I'll be 18 this year so yay. guys never go for sticks you know

Maybe look up veganism big thighs are good though


Tbh, I dont think it should matter if you are fat or skinny . I wont say that you will be beautiful if you are skinny , but i will tell you that all that matters is if you are healthy , You can be a little heavy with all the nutrients you need and that is good ! If you are skinny and dont have the nutrients you need , then that is bad because no matter what your weight says , your body doesnt have everything you need , So , you should remember that . (;


Is it weird that I literally couldn't care less what other people look like. But when it comes to me I just despise my body. I walk and feel good about myself but I don't do that all the time and when I don't I hate my body but I hate walking also. I'll never be Good enough in terms of my body. Not for me and honestly probably not for anyone. I used to never care but now it's all I think about. When I'm sitting im just thinking 'God you probably look horrible'. An I always try and suck in or wear huge shirts so you can't tell but I just. Need to be okay with me. But I don't know how.


I agree, I hate how society has made people so self conscious. When I look at other people I don't really care about what their bodies look like, it really is all about personality, but I am so self conscious. It doesn't make sense really. However, I'd also like to speak from another perspective, of people being like "oh, you're so skinny!" I hate the word skinny. Skinny means bony to me. To me, it means twiggy, awkwardly thin, almost "anorexic" looking if you want to put it that way (although I really don't agree with using health conditions as an adjective). Anyone who's reading this and wondering what I mean, watch zoella and sprinkleofglitter's chummy chat video "you're so skinny," it says what I'm trying to say perfectly. I think it's a much better idea to say, "you look great in that outfit!" or "those jeans really make you look great" rather than skinny, or fat, or thin, or chubby, or "jolly", or "twiggy." I'm self conscious in the opposite way. I'm self conscious of how pointy my elbows are, or how my knees stick out. I can't wear leggings because of my knees. I like to cover up my shoulders, because they're bony as hell.


Look guys just go to Calorie Calculator. Determine how many cals you need to lose, gain or maintain and then count your cals. Society's obsession with weight loss is so sad and such a waste of time. We could be doing so much more creative things with our time!


But not all skinny people just eat salad, I don't and I'm rather skinny and I eat healthily but switching from fat shaming to skinny shaming isn't right.. I know you don't mean it that way but it makes me feel like it's wrong to be skinny.


well I hate me and my body and I am not fat but I`m not skinny .... I hate it and I'm tired of trying      I am hopeless


If anyone thinks they're "fat" seek a physician (in person). If you have an eating disorder (over eating or under eating) the MD will let you know and give you the resources you need. Your brain can literally shrink if you starve yourself. At the other extreme, people can die before the age of 50 from being morbidly obese. Heart attack, stroke, Type 2 diabetes... it isn't good to be comfortable with your body if it's going to lead to an early grave, but those people need to seek professional help to lose weight (or gain weight) the right way so they don't end up hurting themselves. Also, not all fat tissue is bad! It's natural for some women to have a bit of "cushioning" around their hips. Fat in those areas will likely never be lost (or will be the hardest to lose) - which is nothing to be ashamed of because it means your body is more endowed to support a child. It's evolutionary.


she copied "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" from a poem on google. Other than that pretty good!

@peppa pinaj hmm, ig I mean it is just a sentence.

@Randomactsofgames well i guess but honestly it’s not super important imo

@peppa pinaj Oh I understand! But don't you think she should atleast give a little credit to her?

its actually a quote by kate moss, a lot of poems use it


When will people realise it's not OK to be fat? It's not OK to be stick-thin, why do people think starving themselves is how to get thin. Seriously, just chuck the crap out your diet and go to the gym thrice a week, go for a run every morning or night. As a longtime gym-goer, I assure you, if you're overweight, I will have more respect for you over most other people in that gym hall. At least you make the effort to get yourself in shape. There's a reason gym's exist.


I'm just putting this out there, it's harder to be fat than to be skinny


my school has us run to lose weight we run a mile and yell at us to run under 10 min how do I do that if I can't step with out a pain brelling knives I want to lose weight but if I take of step and its makes me want to cry and my not says I go at my pace and the teacher says no walk and I come home with gruling pain and I still try to lose weight whilst in this pain would do I do what I love or even be happy if my mom thinks I should lose weight and I hate myself and have been alone and the one I like is against who I am then I have no friends and my family is getting kicked out and I have to move and I am shy and my family is broke and I have a pain in my chest with every breath one that will never speak a word of so we can have some money insted of inhalors and my cat is dead and I have a sister who is miles away and 1 I haven't met for 6 years how am I still here or why am i, becuase of people like doodie who says I don't care how u look or they don't want u to commit suicide like markiplire


this is sooo good :)

(I feel guilty because I'm skinny and everyone complains about their weight and I can't say anything, because I'm struggling to put on weight)


i love this so much, it was so powerful and beautifully delivered. you're so talented dodie! xx


this is wonderful, so well written. it expresses my exact feelings, i love it. but dodie there is no need for you to feel this way, you are utterly beautiful.


This is lovely! I love the rhymes! You're beautiful, Dodie :)


this is so good!! it's so honest and relatable, im so happy you uploaded this, Dodie! <3


this is absolutely amazing Dodie! you can sing, write poems/songs and act, are you hiding any more talents from us?


I don't know if I can express just how much I love this ♥


This was brilliant! Well done! :D I can definitely relate to this!


Thank you for this wonderful, powerful piece of poetry!
You perfectly articulated our tendancy to pronounce one thing about our beliefs about fat and weight, but then think quite the antithesis in our minds.
But I guess we as humans are paradoxes.
Thanks again for making this so lovely and thought provoking Dodie!


This is incredible Dodie bloody powerful and just fab <3


This is just phenomonal Dodie, I love it so much <3

I relate to this. I'm really insecure about myself. I love this a lot - Dodie, you're one of the youtubers who understands us - this really helped me, and made me feel better. Thankyou for being brilliant, Dodie :)


You delivered this so fucking well omg Dodie. This was so perfect! I always say that I am on a diet but then I just scoff lots of chips and ice cream and give up...

I love you ♥
ps. that ice cream looked soooo niice omg

It was so good and I ate the whole lot while uploading sigh


Doddie u are inspirational and I love all your videos! You seem so honest in all of 'em and u have the cutest voice :) I love u so much!!


As an eating disorder sufferer, (is that a word?) I can really connect to this so thank you Dodie x Also, everyone IS beautiful no matter what anyone says! Stay happy amigos ;D


Dodie it makes me happy that you never fail to be relatable


this is so wonderful
words just can't explain
<3


you should turn this into a song dodie, its beautiful! :)


this is beautiful, on wednesday we're doing a thing called "wear your words" where we pick a quote and make something out of paper like a bowtie or hat with the quote on it and we wear it at school, my quote is coming from this video <3


I actually feel the exact same ! :) xx  well done for uploading this x


I really loved this, its so clear and well put


this is beautiful, i love you and your videos so much c:


Words can't describe how beautiful this is<3


so good!! i think it's more important to improve who you are on the inside than improve who you are on the outside:-)


Holy crap Dodie. You are the kind of smart and talented and beautiful that matters. Thank you.


this is really amazing! I'm quite skinny, but I've definitely put on weight recently, I don't really mind because when I was younger I used to get called anorexic, which I wasn't. but yes I just think I have a fat face, which is annoying and not really in proportion to the rest of my body


Dodie I adore you!! you totally said this perfectly!! I feel the same. I always see the prettiness in people, whether its more physical things like their hair or their smile or their voice, or the other things like how confident they are or how funny they are. n then theres just me. im over weight n I know it, I don't like it and I srsly want to change it. however I like food n I don't like going out n exercising bc people can see me doing it. my anxiety and self consciousness will be the death of me.


This is incredible. It actually made me cry ;-;


Awh golly Dodie, can really tell how much this means to you. I don't know if it means anything, but I think you're perfect whatever size and weight you may be ^_^


You are so awesome!!!! Very motivational luv u xxx


The bit at the end with the ice cream though. DAMM!!! I have so many feels.


I feel like too many people nowadays focus on how their body looks, and not how they feel or who they are. This was fab Dodie and made me feel like I'm not the only one worried about a few things here and there to do with my appearance xxx


This is great, I don't think that one person I have met has been comfortable with their body and this explains the majority of them's opinion on food and being skinny incredibly.


Awe... I just want to give you a Hug!
i like your poem.
Thanks for sharing.


This was one of the most inspirational things I have ever heard about being skinny or just about weight. Thank you dodie. For everything that comes out of your mouth :3 <3


First of all, I really like this poem. Your rhymes are clever and yet down-to-earth, and the subject speaks to a lot of people.<br>I've experienced exactly what you're talking about. Wanting to be thinner, trying to eat less so that I'd lose weight...it was frustrating. Eventually I lost the weight and got to a point where I'm pretty happy with my body. I'd type out the strategies that worked for me, but this is more a place for sympathizing than prescribing.

Ooh, yay yay yay. Lovely, well spoken!
Yo, you eat that ice cream because you are PERFECT! x
I can totally relate being skinny, cept I wish I was more muscly.
BUT, I know that right now I just have high metabolism and in a few years it'll be hard NOT to gain weight :P, so I am happy just the way I am ^^


I love you dodie. how positive you are. how much you try and show your appreciation towards people. you're an inspiration.


You are amazing! We all feel sad about our bodies sometimes... I have "not skinny" legs, can't stop thinking about it. But i know that i just have to love myself. World made me feel this way, people used to call me "fat". I don't blame them. I love these people anyway. But it still hurts. Thank you very much! You are an inspiration.


I can totally relate to this Dodie! munches on biscuit
The pressures of society and the need to feel skinny have wormed our way into our heads that constant voice saying that you need a flat tummy.
I came to one large conclusion yesterday as I stared at my tum in the mirror, that yes I have a little bit extra here and there but so what scoffs next biscuit it all makes me, me and I embrace it in the name of enjoying the foods that I love.

and here i am wanting to have more on me coz i'm skinny and unwillingly. It's easy to say that it's hard to be large, but it's not always good, or a choice to be otherwise.<br>but ye, wow, this was moving and amazing.

It's difficult to be happy with whoever you are! But I hope you feel better <3


I feel exactly the same. As much as I tell myself 'I love myself the way I am. I don't need to be thin.' I know it's a lie. Everyone says that you can be beautiful at any size, but you see the models, and the clothes adverts. It's like a slap in the face. And don't get me started on shopping for clothes. I hate it, because everything looks awful, and they never have my size. So, I just end up eating until I feel better.


Yay first comment.
loved how dramatic you are so talented Hun
I don't know why we all obsess over being fat. I would rather be eating than .going to the gym.


Just watched this whilst eating a chinese... oops - But this is wonderful! So SO true <33


In all honesty Dodie, i'm naturally skinny and i hate it, i dont see what the big fuss is about, i cant go out wearing anything tight without thinking everyone's judging me because they probably think im anorexic, i eat tones if food and put on nothing, i'd kill to get rid of the gap between my thighs and i'd love to have bigger arms and bigger hips, but it doesnt work that way, so i'll guess i'll have to join you, on eating that ice cream, to eat our impossible hopes away xx


I LOVE YOU. THIS WAS A M A Z I N G G G G G G G G G


I have had an eating disorder and I can say that this gads a lot of meaning and really does make me think more about what it was for? It's really scary and more people need to know about this! It's the mental health condition with the highest mortality rate and things like this really help people recognise when they've got a problem or their family has! It's really, really well spoken do! Can't wait to meet you at sitc <3


Dodie I LOVE EWWW!!! CAN WE BE FRIENDS AND RIDE UNICORNS BECAUSE THIS IS JUST AMAZING !<3


I feel the same! Pretend that I don't care what people think and don't want to be stick thin but tbh I would love to be slim and pretty in a bikini :/ <br>(Amazing poem btw) :)

I am just hearing : "british accent, british accent. Oh my god, this sexy voice.<br>This is time well spent"

This is so incredibly relevant right now ugh


i feel the same i wish people would just look in to people eyes and see the beauty not how your body feels and i can say that in year 7 i never eat for two weeks and i can look back now at that and say that was the worse thing i ever did


I usually don't care, or organise my diet to cause any type of weight loss... But then I see any photos with a me with a double chin, or have to go swimming, or read about how much thinner we used to be, or wear leggings, or....  the list goes on! xx Though as a badger, I suppose my insecurities could be worse :) I loved the poem (its so true...!) and the way you said it. :)


No-one shouldn't aspire to be 'skinny'. I'm way too skinny and I can't put on weight and I hate it. Underweight girls can't really wear leggings either since they'll be baggy. I'm not saying I don't like this video because it was a really awesome poem and you were so good at reading it but I just don't think skinny is the right word :(

Hehe I totally agree with you, I'll try to be happy with the way I am, thankyou!!!

nonono you're so right!!! Wanting to be skinny is crap and silly and stupid because we ARE all beautiful. Tubby thin fat big whatever you want to call it we should stop trying to change ourselves into something we're not.


You are so thin though,why do you think you are fat?


I don't eat dairy or gluten
Yet
😔I'm ugly


This is incredible, but th subtitles are beyond awful.


It's not just that. If someone considers themselves fat, they shouldn't be ashamed of their pleasure of food, but the world isn't so easy, so someone points out that you're too skinny or too fat. Huh.


Does she struggle with an eating disorder?

she didnt struggle with an eating disorder, she struggled with disordered eating. that’s what i got from her book anyway


why do my english sucks!?!?!?!?!?<br>Fuuuu, i don't get half of this!

why do my english sucks!?!?!?!?!?
Fuuuu, i don't get half of this!

+Wndrr one year later, i just understood every single word you said.

So much for me, repeating all the time that my english didn't improve over the years ... guess it did !


Skinny girls aren't always happy with their bodies either. I'm naturally skinny, it's just the way I am, I can't gain weight, and all I want is to have curves, and normal sized boobs, and a bit of tummy, and arms that don't look like spaghetti. Every time I complain about it, people tell me that I should be happy because "omg everyone wants to look like you, what are you complaining about", and I'm just tired of it, I don't know, I just don't like it. Well.

Suzanne Grassi I get it, I feel the same way. I just wanna have a curvier frame and no one gets it
