Tess thinks not eating for 2 hrs is ‘starving’

Tess trying to convince people she's anorexic is like calling Jeff Bezos a "small busniess owner".

I went from 270 to 125 in 9 months and still didn’t get an atypical anorexia diagnosis until I ended up in the hospital. This woman is absolutely insane.

I love when she said "i dont even eat mcdonalds" in one video and she admits she eats it for breakfast at least 3 times a week in another.

Tess could literally survive off her own body fat for a generation.

I'm putting this down as a rule: if you can kill a strong, healthy man or average size by sitting and/or laying on them, you weigh too much.

I am so happy for Tess.. She has beaten that deadly disease so thoroughly that I actually feel bad for anorexia itself.

The people telling Tess she is anorexia are the same people telling everyone men can becomes biological women. Let that sink in.

As someone with Anorexia Nervosa, her wilful ignorance is offensive.

I used to idolise that woman, back when I was 117kgs. After learning to stop eating, I’m down to 74kgs so far. That’s why the gastric sleeve always works. Not eating always works. (I only fasted. I think the sleeve is lazy). She used to make me feel beautiful despite being so unhealthy. I look back and see how sad that is. Encouraging heart attacks just because people don’t like hearing they’ve eaten too much, is so problematic.

Best part of Tess Holliday saying she hadn't had a Big Mac in a month. Someone posted her instagram posts and she had been eating at McDonalds almost every morning and she was eating 1500+ calories at a time.

This is insane to me. I’m in recovery from anorexia. It got so bad that I had constant abdominal pain and was threatened with extended hospitalization because I’d even lost so much visceral fat that basically my organs were rubbing together in a way they shouldn’t. I realized after losing half my hair that maybe at 5’7” I shouldn’t fit into children’s clothes and I didn’t want to die. It’s a daily struggle even now and it irks me that these people want to once again hijack something very serious to be a victim.

You can tell that Tess doesn't have anorexia simply by the fact that she talks about it all the time. Someone really struggling with anorexia will typically be in denial - telling people they are fine and that they are eating enough.

They should call it “T-Rexia” 😂😂😂

As someone who genuinely had adhd and dealt with the real effect it had on me as a child and even today, you mentioning adhd really hit me. Im sick of seeing some people think their adhd is so bad because they got so exited to be with some friends they forget their wallet/purse at home or some shit. It makes me gaslight myself into thinking i dont have a genuine neurological problem which leads me to punish myself when i have a bad day with it. The trend-ization of mental deficiency has made things so much worse for everyone, and its tumblr's fault.

as someone with ednos (eating disorder not otherwise specified) and used to have anorexia, i don't think she can compare her not eating for 30 minutes to me throwing up an eggwhite and a ricecake 💀

Did she not understand that not eating for one night isn't starving lol

"Some people can starve longer than others" She can starve for 2 seasons and a spin-off series 😂

As someone who had anoreixa I find this absoultey shameful, the constant light headness and fainting was painful and as man I wasnt even looked at because it was not a male issue, it kept pushing me towards even less food. She has no idea how hard it is, just shameful.

No doubt she thinks feeling hungry is "starving"

The scariest part I think, is that she actually believes what she's spouting, even though we all don't.

Atypical anorexia exists, but it's still characterized by significant weight loss and if the people don't get stopped, they usually end up as underweight. I myself got the atypical anorexia diagnosis once when I was at BMI 18 (anorexia diagnosis starts at 17.5) and a week later with "typical" anorexia. About a year later I got diagnosed with atypical anorexia again because I was in treatment again and was weight restored, but was still physically very unwell and needed to get rid of the mental food rules. It's so disrespectful of those fat activists to claim to be anorexic. It's a horrible and deadly illness and not something to want to have and to pride oneself upon

I’ve had every eating disorder there is: I had binge-eating disorder as a child until I reached 470lbs in my teen years, then I was anorexic/ bulimic to the degree that I was boking up imaginary food and dropped down to 220lbs in 9 months from my 470lb starting weight, (which sounds heavy but I’m 6’4” so I was extremely lean at 220lbs) and recovery from that resulted in lapsing back to binge eating and I gained the majority of the weight back until I went vegan which was really just a modified form of orthorexia (an unhealthy obsession with eating healthy and completely omitting “bad” food groups) and I dropped back down to 230 lbs. I am still vegan to this day and am currently struggling with a gradual lapse into restricted eating patterns… my daily consumption is restricted to 2-3 protein shakes with vegetable powder and 1-2 yams with the occasional spoonful of peanut butter and I burn an average of 1600 active calories a day on top of my basal metabolic burn, which is typically around 2600 calories which makes my total daily calorie burn over 4000. “Atypical anorexia” is real for people whose starting weight is obese when they begin to restrict, but the thing Tess Holliday fails to understand is that in order to be considered an “atypical anorexic” is that by definition, you have to LOSE a significant amount of weight in a SHORT period of time to actually be diagnosed with it 🙄 eating one meal a day is NOT atypical anorexia if that one meal contains more calories than you burned that day. Anorexia is characterized by restrictive eating, disproportionate activity that results in rapid weight loss and an INTENSE FEAR of weight gain, NONE of which describe Tess Holliday. The fact that she uses this label to bolster herself is an insult to anyone and everyone that is struggling with anorexia, typical or atypical. Fat activists have ONE eating disorder and that is BINGE eating disorder. Full stop. I’d tell them to stay in their lane but apparently the size of their asses make it impossible.

I love that there are kids in Africa that actually need food and she’s just eating it all up, whilst saying she has anorexia.

I've had anorexia before, i don't say im still anorexic when I've gained weight 😂. Seriously, like who wears their ed like a badge of honor like this. Shes not really saying it like shes proud shes conquered it, shes saying it like shes proud to have it. Anyone else who actually had an ed knows its one of the WORST periods of their lives and wouldn't brag about it like this on national television. Especially when theyve never actually experienced the months of disordered thinking that it takes to go from obese to anorexic, which i personally have.

As an anorexic I know for a fact another criteria for being anorexic is having a BMI less than 16.

"Living in higher weight bodies." 😂😂😂

Tess isn't even atypical ana because even that means losing an immense amount of weight and even Tess admits that she's been gaining weight.

Have to get back to the days you slapped a fool for lying or confronted a person for talking shit.

She had her first Big Mac, yeah after eating 100,000 Whoppers beforehand. They definitely set the new scale due to the fact they broke the previous scales they stood on. Who's their doctor giving them this information Dr. Ronald McDonald.

Feeling hungry is most definitely not anorexia 😂

as someone with legitimate adhd, i don’t go around flaunting the fact that i have adhd. not going to lie it’s embarrassing. why would someone want to not be able to focus? my dad also struggles with it. it’s shameful that some people legitimately want to be diagnosed. before we went to the doctor about my focus problem, i begged my parents to not bring me because i didn’t want to have “something wrong with me”. now EVERYONE needs to have something wrong with them. it’s truly disgraceful.

I didn't know you could gain double your weight while having a restrictive ED, must be that starvation mode I keep hearing about.

🤣Stunning and brave. Imagine being so immune to facts.

with the adhd thing (as someone with actually diagnosed adhd) I completely agree I've had people tell me they have it because they cant concentrate in class like literally stfu with wanting sympathy points it's an actual disorder that people suffer with not some quirky thing you can add to your twitter bio

this is just people conflating a "binge and restrict" cycle with anorexia. binge eating is an eating disorder all on its own, a very serious one. and one way it can (and often does) manifest is heavily restricting (sometimes attempted fasting) followed by binge eating sessions. hence the binge and restrict cycle, which is very emotionally taxing and damaging for those struggling with their relationship with food and their bodies. it's not fucking anorexia though. a huge facet of anorexia is being a healthy weight or underweight, yet believing yourself to still be "too big". under no circumstances do obese or overweight people fit this criteria.... for obvious reasons, I would think.

Anyone who says they are "living in" a type of body is basically saying they're not responsible for the size of it, like they aren't in control. ie it's someone else's fault

I was fat my entire life and at 39yo, I weighed 320lbs. I ate like crap and never worked out (even though I worked at a gym 🤦🏻‍♀️). It was my fault I was that big. I finally decided at 39 yo that I didn’t want to die. I got off my ass and stopped ingesting crap. Seven years later, I’m down 175lbs and still losing weight. My entire family joined in and the five of us are down 550lbs + in total. We never eat out and exercise as a family. My middle son is now competing in body building competitions. My husband and I grew up with overweight parents. I always thought we were fat due to genetics. We proved that theory wrong! The body positivity movement is just giving people a reason to stay unhealthy! I can now say I’m not diabetic, my bp is under control, no longer suffer from afib, my body doesn’t hurt and my mental state has greatly improved! Genetics may keep you from being 100lbs, but it sure isn’t the reason you are 300lbs either!

As someone who used to weigh 109 lbs as a woman in my late twenties from a debilitating disorder, THE AUDACITY! My 109 would fight her 406. Might not be able to land the same blows but I sure could move out the way. Also, I’m a happy 130 and in recovery. Which was hard work, something Tess wouldn’t know about.

My son struggles with anorexia , he was a big child and his dad's new wife (a big lady herself) kept on that he was fat , bought sweets, cakes etc for her own daughter but not for my children , my ex-husband had to go and do shopping for them, it got to a point where it triggered anorexia , he had decided to live with his dad after we divorced whereas the other 3 lived between us both , when I found out what was going on as he was always out with friends when I went over I bought him to live with me and we converted our dining room into a bedroom for him , he had gone from 13 stone to just under 7 stone and was 6 ft tall. So very very underweight . It took months of finding help for him and me cooking meals for him in portion sizes he could eat to put on a little weight , he now in his 30's still battles with it, he moved to go to university but we gave him the option of one near home, or near one of his grandparents so he chose Cornwall near his grandparents who kept an eye on him as he lived in the cottage on their grounds which are large enough that he didn't feel watched and had his own gardens , drive etc. He now takes care of them as his grandfather had Alzheimer's and are both in Their 80's. His best friend died of anorexia as he wasn't as fortunate as my son to have family who intervened, he died in a hostel at 5 stone , he was 6'4" tall and a lovely boy and this hit my son very hard. It makes me angry to see these very large ladies state to be anorexic as I my son was starving himself to death and would have without the intervention of me and medical services. His father was distraught as his wife was very imposing and over rode every decision he made for our children, all except my daughter who lived full time with me after he step mum had a jealous fit and couldn't handle the fact that our daughter and her dad had always been very close and how protective he was of his daughter threw out daughter out of her dad's and she came to me, we found all of her clothes thrown in bin bags on the doorstep the next morning so she escaped the mental health issues she caused all of my boys by her constant picking but when they complained to their dad she would insist they were making it up etc all until our middle son recorded her on his phone throwing abuse at him and his younger brother and when she denied it he played it back to his dad in front of her. They never went to stay there again as their dad felt it was safer for them to be away from her without him home while he sorted everything out so they only went at weekends when he was there after that but the damage was done and all have had trauma, abuse and mental health help to deal with all she put them through.

Eric Carman: "I'm not fat! I am big-boned!" See the resemblances with these females

You could literally lock this woman in a room, assuming she had access to water, she would probably survive for 2+ years.

What really pisses me off is when people say they have autism when they don’t, I was diagnosed with adhd and autism when I was 3 years old by a medical professional (I’m now 18) and I feel like those idiots have no idea what it’s really like, it’s incredibly hard to live with but gets easier with time, these fuckwits go from being instagram models to autism suffers, it just makes my blood boil

In the UK Autism and Asperger's are under diagnosed. This is mainly because you need to fight the NHS sometimes for years to get screened. Out of my clients (and myself) not one was less than a 3 year wait with all sorts of hoops to jump through first. I wouldnt mind but there is now a urine test that can not only screen to an extent, but also differentiate accurately between Asperger's and Autism. That said there are a hell of a lot who wrongly self diagnose who often have BPD.

Ironically with the adhd thing I ignores the symptoms for so long because I thought social media was closing my judgment till I got adhd meads and feel way better lol

"atypical anoxeria is far more common these days" yes. because everyone is a victim now

she literally can starve for at least 6 months with no issues

Tess has been doing intermittent fasting……between meals and snacks😅

Love the atypical lung cancer analogy 😂

I've not eaten in about 2 hours so I must be anorexic 😂. Funny when you were talking about adhd and autism. I actually am diagnosed after rigorous, peer assessed testing (the doctors peers... not mine 😂). But when you pointed at the screen and said especially you mate it gave me a good laugh since in this case you were right 😂.

Many of the truths that we cling to depend on our point of view

no Isaac! You are not the only one going insane!

They always say "living in larger body" like it's out of their choice. It's a machine- don't devour sugar and fat and it'll be smaller body XD

This is probably one of your most hilarious videos yet Isaac (and that’s saying a lot bc all your videos are funny). Literally laying in bed laughing out loud 😂

My old boy checked himself out of hospital after a small stroke after the nutritionist came in and she was bigger then him and told him he needs to sort out his diet, he just laughed and walked out.. hes 115kg at the time but over 6ft so carrys the weight alright. Imagine been told to stop eating meat by someone over weight I would have walked out aswell

I'm 6ft 6 and I suffer from dwarfism.

I know almost 100% sure the doctor told her she is malnourished, which means that she doesn’t get enough important vitamins and minerals. Tess probably spinned it into: “the docter said I was starving myself. The woman lies Everytime she opens her mouth😂

Tess Holiday: No Fauci I am the science!

Wait that’s so true lol…. “Being fat is healthy and beautiful” Literally 2 seconds later … “It’s an eating disorder but not obesity… a typical anorexia” I think it’s time I just put myself in the grave and bid this cruel world adieu…. The insanity will never end

Did anyone else laugh harder than they should have at the “loose unit” comment🤣💀

Whenever I cook for me, my friends and family, I usually feel full after the time I’ve spent in the kitchen! It’s like eating with my eyes if you will….I think Tess thinks she’s starving cuz she’s cooking a lot!!! 😂

There's actually a difference between starvation and fasting: Fasting is a deliberate approach to weight loss and health that entails abstaining from caloric intake for up to 48 hours or consuming a low-calorie diet for up to two weeks. Starvation, on the other hand, is a condition in which the body reacts to a prolonged absence of calories for several days or a reduced caloric intake over a span of weeks. I've heard people, as big as Tess, complaining they are starving when they did not eat a couple of hours, but people as big as her don't know what real starvation is (as it will take them a long time to reach for the state of starvation- where the body used all it's fat, carbs and protein reserves and starts to eat itself). When morbidly obese people say they are starving, it's their addiction talking. They just really need their fix of sugars, carbs and fat, or they will throw a tantrum.

Not eating for a few days for most people will make you look very frail

Why don't people like Tess Holliday say OK I will go into a house like big brother and be monitored for 3 months and you can see exactly how much food I actually eat because it will all be monitored everything that enters the house. People can see how little I eat and still put on weight. Or and bear with me, everyone will see that I was lying about how much I actually ate, and I wasn't starving myself but was sneaking into Drive-Thru McDonald's and driving up the shares. And I don't have a problem with that, go hard I do it, but I don't lie about it.

When i was a kid, I remember watching the news one weekend with my dad. He was a pro bodybuilder, and wasn't happy about what was on the news. I didn't exactly understand why at my age, but i sure do now. It was a news report saying that they were recognizing obesity as a disability. Seems he knew what that was going to lead to more than others.

Her morning shit is bigger than I am 😂

Lol nah man she broke the internet by sitting on it.😂

To be diagnosed as anorexic, you don’t have to be underweight according to BMI, that part is true. However, if you have been suffering from the ED for a significant amount of time, you cannot be overweight either. These women may have suffered anorexia but not for enough time fir it to mean anything from a medical point of view.

Tess is a marvel of nature ignoring the laws of conservation of energy

Thank you for the immune system boost! I laughed aloud for almost the entirety of the video. You are hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Tess skipped ham,bacon,4 eggs over-easy, with a side of toast BREAKFAST and called it starving herself.

'Anyone of any size can starve' Yeah but it wouldn't take most people half a year lol

Sure, you can have DISORDERED eating without an EATING DISORDER. Only eating one big meal a day isn’t healthy, but it’s not anorexia🙄

"Now I'm gonna starve 😠" -Patrick Star

"I haven't eaten in 30 minutes and I am starving!"

The best thing the internet has brought us, is we now know that there are more mental people out there than there are sane ones.

I always had a weird feeling about Tess but this just confirmed it plus I'm a big girl myself but I enjoy exercising I actually lost weight I'm doing the no eating thing either cuz vitamins Waters and electrolytes if I really need to eat I would have yogurt but even then it's just to cut the uncomfortability out

I love your videos!

This reminds me of Negan in TWD, "Starving? You?" 😂😂😂

Aren't we living in a truly special time in history right now? Tess holiday is doing in the exact era we would ever "tolerate" such obviously false narrative. Yet this is being eaten up fully by the fat-positivity movement because it fits their dogma perfectly. We know Tess is doing this only for attention seeking purposes, geting her otherwise quite unimpactfull image back into the spotlight. The only real question remains now is if she ACTUALLY believes the nonsense she is spewing out or not. It is one thing to do this just because you know you will find people that will support you with this, its another to do it because you actually believe the lie as well.

Tess is like that one reporter from south park when they adopt Starvin Marvin.

I've had to deal with a small handful of women who were 250-400#. Their motivation was they liked "throwing their weight around". And it made them crazy when I ignored their BS.

Sometimes it’s okay to “starve” for a bit when you’re so overweight… It shrinks your stomach down and you will feel full faster. You’re not going to die by feeling hungry for a couple hours

*Someone forgot to tell Tess that "All You Can Eat Family Restaurants" wasn't meant to be taken literally!* 😮

Okay, some of you know that I've been spending most of the year waiting for elective surgery to have my gall bladder removed. I'm in and out of the hospital while they treat the symptoms, they just refused to have it removed, it's full of gallstones and is a problem. The hospitals are a mess with COVID, so yes, I've been waiting a year, still waiting. So I have to be on a "no fat, or low fat" diet. Or I get really sick. In the hospital, I managed to survive with no food for 5 days. When you have gut pains, you have no hunger. So I just didn't notice. Except just tired and feeling insane. Maybe not so different. Anyway, the nurses reassured me that it is amazing how long you can survive without food. That is without force feed via the nose or any liquid stuff. Just a drip with saline water. It didn't worry me. What worried me was the other patients in the ward that had some real mental health problems. I mean, really, people are really living shit lives. I just couldn't believe the problems they were having. I was in a mess about hearing about their problems, I even forgot I hadn't eaten for a week, and they still couldn't find a time to have my bladder removed, sent me home, and yes, good painkillers, I'm alive, I can wait. Especially hearing the problems those other people were having. OMG! Take my word for it, I've run out of space ;) Hassah!

Omg 😂😂😂you hit the pioint😂😂😂😂😂

This is getting out of hand the FA movement also claim that fatphobia is the same as racism too 🙄

From DMS: ANOREXIA NERVOSA DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA To be diagnosed with anorexia nervosa according to the DSM-5, the following criteria must be met: 1. Restriction of energy intake relative to requirements leading to a significantly low body weight in the context of age, sex, developmental trajectory, and physical health. 2. Intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat, even though underweight. 3. Disturbance in the way in which one's body weight or shape is experienced, undue influence of body weight or shape on self-evaluation, or denial of the seriousness of the current low body weight. Even if all the DSM-5 criteria for anorexia are not met, a serious eating disorder can still be present. Atypical anorexia includes those individuals who meet the criteria for anorexia but who are not underweight despite significant weight loss. Research studies have not found a difference in the medical and psychological impacts of anorexia and atypical anorexia. So for them to be able to say that they have Atypical Anorexia they still would have to lose a significant amount of weight while fat because all of a sudden, they are NOT eating. These people are not STARVING themselves if they are keeping the weight. There HAS to be WEIGHT LOSS to be diagnosed with anorexia.....and not just 1-2 pounds .....these people can probably achieve that from just farting hard.

Another day in clown world where we are supposed to entertain delusion.

"Uhhhgh I'm so anorexic Why is everyone not recognizing me as anorexic 😫" * gouges down 5 big macs *

Atypical anorexia is recognized as an eating disorder. It refers to people who are often overweight and go on `crash diets` losing at lot of weight in a short term and thus stressing the body, They will appear to look healthy but their organs endure the same damage as anorectics. In essence anorectics starve themselves in an unhealthy way no matter their body weight.

She ate 4 years worth of food in advance... even if she starves she will be fine. she won't fade away.

She only ate half the cow not the whole cow.

The raison d’être for the diagnosis of “atypical anorexia” is the fact that a person can become anorexic before reaching a very low body weight if they’re massively overweight to begin with. Since early intervention is important in treating anorexia it doesn’t make sense to wait until you’ve already been starving for an extended amount of time to affirm the diagnosis. If you are anorexic you will however get to a low body weight eventually, you don’t just stay overweight/obese indefinitely like these people seem to claim.

So I had an eating disorder for the better part of 12 years, and I was very very skinny. It controlled my life and it almost took it on more than several occasions. These big people saying that didn't have the dedication to follow through with it. If you really were suffering with that disease you would waste away

Never have I laughed so hard. Cheers.

One of my favorite newer quotes from Joe rogan was "Just because i have a lighter doesn't make me a dragon"

Omg Isaac is so Lizzophobic 🐋

YAASSS QUEEN! I FEEL YOU BABE! 😂😂😂

Ahh mate getting ruthless, love it
