Body-positive Tess Holliday on the complexities of her eating disorder | Nightline

1. Cut it out

2. Atypical anorexia does not exists lol

3. fake claims while actually sick people almost kill themselves to get a diagnosis. I despise her

4. I go all day without eating and I call it intermittent fasting, not anorexia. Hmmm…

5. i can hear Dr. Nowzaradan saying "Do you look like you're malnourished?"

6. "Atypical" anorexia. Yeah, I'll say!

7. She clearly eats alot. Like ALOT

8. She should give Nick's last name back. She's so ridiculous.

9. She ATE 10 anorexics maybe

10. "I'm plus sized"
    No, you are whale sized

11. If shes anorexic then I'm the pope

12. She’s disgusting. She literally profits off of everyone else’s insecurities. One day she’s body positive and is the happiest she’s ever been at the HEAVIEST she’s ever been, than the next minute she’s been restrictive eating for a decade? It just doesn’t make sense. I think she’s becoming irrelevant and just wanted a quick 5 minute grab.

13. I cannot wait til the day she suffers a major health complication from her obesity and is sent to Dr Now and he finally tells her “You’re not anorexic or healthy, you are morbidly obese! You’re a good addict! You need to go on controlled diet and lose weight now”

14. Woah, I really thought like yeah good for her that she realizes she has a problem with food, but it was about not eating. Anorexia? What

15. To many of the folks in the comments: when you go prolonged periods of time w/o eating, (not cutting back, going all day) your body goes into starvation mode. In this metabolic mode, anything you consume once you've entered starvation mode is stored as fat immediately rather used for energy, leaving you with pain when you do finally eat, low energy, scattered thoughts–hard to focus–and persistent negativity along all spectrums of emotion.
    It takes the human body a long time to adjust; once you put on a good amount of adipose tissue, it takes an extraordinary amount of effort over yrs to overcome disordered eating cycles and see that reflected in your body composition.
    Regardless of whether you believe her, she's doing the best thing she can to be healthy going forward: eating regular meal, sleeping well, and minding her mental state. Anyone still sh*tting on her for taking better care of herself now & being vulnerably honest about it is being a sadist

16. Lock her in jail with no food

17. She is not plus size she's obese, plus size is just a bit thicc and still very attractive. Obese is past fat and fat is past plus size

18. Must have been the mother of all meals

19. Doc was just playin' but it went to far.

20. "I was literally starving." That's a whopper, so to speak.

21. Girl has gained weight and considers herself anorexic I’ve lost almost 50lbs in 6 months because I have anorexia this is a slap In the face

22. “i would go all day without eating and then eat a meal at night” so…where’s the eating disorder?

23. She is pretty but she is so unhealthy.

24. You can’t be overweight and be anorexic. She would probably be classified as ednos/osfed, which atypical anorexia would fall under.

25. I think she's confusing Anorexia and Bulimia Lol

26. "Anorexia" is not the same as "anorexia nervosa". "Anorexia" simply means lack of appetite. Any or all of us can have it from time to time. Watching someone vomit induces instant anorexia in me, for example. Stress or depression or alcoholism or addiction or drugs can induce longer term anorexia. But those are most definitely NOT the same as anorexia nervosa. This is a good illustration of the degree to which this woman grasps medical concepts/suffers from selective hearing.

27. It might be possible she has a fat metabolism but she is no way anorexic.

28. She probally eats a 1 meal that is equivalent to 8 meals.
