How I Learned to Love my Body | corallista 

I cannot believe someone who is so beautiful in and out did not feel beautiful, wherein i watched ur videos and wished to be beautiful like u.

This must have been emotionally overwhelming to film. Kudos and love to you lady❤️

I have been "Fat" all my life .... I was told I would be single all my life coz I'm not desirable enough for any man to marry me and the only reason somebody would want to marry me is if v give loads of dowry .... I had very low self esteem and never thought I'm beautiful coz all the fat comments passed .... But things changed once I started working and I had friends who were such good influences who told me that I'm beautiful and helped me build my self esteem and at that same workplace I found the love of my life .... Turn the time wheel to 2020 I'm still "fat" I'm married for 11 years have a beautiful baby girl she will be 2 next month.... My husband fell in love me for all the love handles I hav flabby arms fat thighs and till date finds me desirable with all the post pregnancy weight gain and all ...

I love this video. It's mature, beautiful and positive. There was a time when I was so disgusted with my body & couldn't look at myself in the mirror. I love how you said that you simply got tired of hating your body and that's how you started on this journey of self love because that's how it happened with me as well. Thank you for touching upon the relationship with food as well, I feel like most people don't even talk about that. Thank you for this video. Would love your thoughts on topics which are close to you as well! Stay safe. Best wishes 💕

I really feel your content has become so good once you have started connecting with us on a personal level ! You come across as such a nice person ! And you are beautiful !! ♥️

You have such a calm soothing voice. Listening to you talk is like meditation

Every word you said rings so true for me and i have never been able to wrap my head around the constant negativity around the size shaming we go through. From personal experience, I can tell you the journey is tough but once you get there you know what you need to do. Love this and love you ♥️ thank you for sharing and cheers to body positivity and loving yourself 😘

Thank you for sharing this dear. I can completely relate to your narrative. It’s so important that you talked about self worth not being attached to the way we look, especially with your beauty channel, I’m so happy you used your platform to share this with so many young girls struggling with body positivity. Also love that you say you are proud of your intellect, your intelligence really shines through. You are a beautiful soul and a gorgeous woman. ❤️❤️❤️

Trust me when i say this, I've been a subscriber of your channel for the longest time 6 years may be, if not less Looking at the video 'Clickbait' i thought ok may i'll learn something for myself today, but trust me 6 years!! And now finally i feel like you are coming out of your shell and i am loving this transformation. For some apparent reason it's so soothing to see someone grow❤️

The message you gave out with this video is profound. Thank you Ankita. We need more of such videos!

Been loving these personal videos ❤️ love how you conveyed the message

Absolutely on par with the ideologies you've shared here.. Glad you've been able to go through this journey and reached to this point where you are right now, confident about and loving the way you are. Been facing similar issues, in my case I've lost a couple of kilos and now people are losing their minds and judging my appearance because I'm underweight (though I feel completely fit and all my blood tests are normal). People really need to become aware of the rudeness in their comments on other people's appearances; be it skin complexion or body weight. Nonetheless, it's important for us to be accepting and loving towards our bodies irrespective of it's appearance as long as we are healthy 💟

I can really see that you have healed so beautifully and in the most realistic way which will last forever with you ❤️

"Unsolicited weight loss advice " this is exactly what I'm facing... i have recently put on weight in the past few years ... I always feel no matter much i have lost weight it's never enough for people...It's just wonderful that u are addressing this issue... It really helps to know that someone else also understands this problem... Love ur videos big fan

Beautiful video! So genuine.. So from the heart ... And congratulations on getting past the body image issues all of us girls carry around. This will inspire so many !! Thanks for sharing this!!!

You have my heart ❤️ You’ve made me calm, I need this right now. Thank you.

Body positivity awareness is such a vital topic, thank you for being courageous, your journey is inspiring. Keep up the great work! 👏

m in awe of u gal...the way u speak..your tone...its soothing to the ears...love u

I can totally relate to your video . I’ve been through these phases. I am glad you decided to talk about it in such a positive way. I’ve always admired you for your confident and the way your soothing voice sets you apart from anyone on the Internet. More power to you ♥️

I have been goin thru a roller coaster ride with my pcod and lately its been a really tough phase. I so needed to watch this. I also fight with depression n have been for decades now. Am also divorced and a single mother which has all also had its toil on me and a reason for my emotional binge eating. I need to also improve my relationship with food. Ur so inspirational and such a gorgeous person. Ur absolutely stunning just the way u are. Much luv to u.

Thank you, Ankita. For sharing this with us. Its actually so many out here like us who hear those words and the stares say it all. Though there are people who would come up and say do you know you have a confident and pretty face, there are people who would still say you know you would look so much sexier if you lost those 15-20 kgs. The hardest part is when it comes from your own family. When I hit my puberty, my weight pulled up and my mother constantly reminded me of that but I was a growing child and even though I was a lot active, the weight hit me hard. I was afraid it might have been a medical condition, I was made to go through all sorts of tests whenever I tried losing weight, everything came out to be normal, except my weight. My husband loves me a lot, we were together for like 6 years before we got married, despite of my weight but I still know everyone around hopes how it would have been better had I been down by at least 10 kgs if not more. But this video made me realize I am quite confident about myself but had just forgotten to appreciate it.. Waiting for your next video. Love,

This is so comforting. Thank you so much, Ankita 💖

How can u even think at any given point of time???? You are so so pretty... So graceful. I have been watching ur videos for a long time now and trust me just listening to u gives me so much of healing effect. I have never ever commented on any RU-vid video but couldn't resist when u said u were not happy about ur body.

Ur are a beautiful soul....it’s so therapeutic listening to u....ur calm voice and piecefull face...its calm my bind...unless others u don’t rush or clumsy ur words....I love u so much following u since 4 yrs...body weight can be reduced today or tomorrow but the way u talk or explain things.ur inner beauty no one can change dats ur specialty....love u so much...

Thank you for so beautifully articulating what all of us need to hear! In this day and age everyone is looking for an external validation to find happiness, sadly we look outward and not inward - once we ourselves feel good in our skin, happiness finds us. You break through the noise of social media and its “curated” nature 👏🏻

Hi Ankita I really appreciate your strength and generosity in sharing such a personal story when you could have played safe and not talked about it given that you are in the beauty business. I do have to accept that I myself might have been fleetingly judgemental about your changing weight on the face over the years, especially since you moved to Mumbai. I have felt exactly the same sentiments you mentioned in the video - she is a class act already and she would be able to do so much more by branching out if only she lost some weight especially as she is in the vanity business. Now I understand things better and feel sorry to have been so quick to judge. I also loved how you listed a few of your positive attributes that helped you in over coming the negative body image, they felt so true. I would definitely use a similar list when I feel completely worthless when I focus only on my negatives. It is you who I come looking for whenever I feel like buying another lipstick shade or when my foundation is nearly empty. You are so - to the point, honest and trust worthy. I have been following your work since your blogging days from ?Japan(if I a remember right) and I feel so proud of your journey and in fact feel like part of your journey. More power to you hun. Other topics that you may wish to consider,especially as you have so much experience working from home - how to keep your work -home balance whilst WFH. As it is a novel experience for me, I feel like it is constant struggle to avoid one spilling into the other and battling the constant guilt, add to that constant distraction from multiple internet tabs. Any practical tips would be very welcome.

I'm so so so glad to have come across this video. Every single thing you've talked about from the depression phase to disassociating desirability with how sexy I can look to dressing up to cover my body shape. Every single thing makes me see a reflection of my story in yours. Thank you so much for sharing your experience! :) It feels such a relief to see you as a hope.. because I'm 24 now and after fighting with depression since a long time, I've started on this journey of accepting my body the way it is but every now and then things around make me question myself as to whether I'm just living in denial or what. But if you are the level I can reach to in this journey, then I'm really glad to have started on to this :) *teary eyed* I wish I could hug you right now. PS: I'm that fan who 2 years ago used to crave the way you looked in your make-up videos and I used to push myself into eating only Daliya as all my meals of the day just to be able to look as beautiful as you! Haha. Have come a long way. More and more love to you :) ♥️♥️♥️

Loved this! You're so real and honest. Would love to hear more about your mental health journey

This is what the world needs to hear and learn.. Hope everyone could be as mature and intelligent as u are.. Loved this video mam 😊

I have a similar journey . I have always felt fat even when i was at my thinnest. I was never able to enjoy my food or my clothes. All i could think was, " i will lose this weight when i complete a particular goal of my career." So eventually in college i did loose a lot of weight and was the perfect weight for my height. But i still felt fat. I have put on a lot of weight now, but my mindset still remains " career oriented". I am trying hard to change that. I have started eating a lot better.and i do work out 2-3 times a day. I do yoga which i enjoy. And i meditate. i want to reach at a level where i m comfortable in my skin. So thank you for this video....it helped me a lot. Hope to be able to say that i love my body one day and mean it too!💜

Again another video which speaks for a lot of people like us! You truly prove that beauty is not only skin deep and it’s so much dependent on your thoughts and outlook. Two thumbs up for taking up such a sensitive issue in front of the camera. This means a lot... especially coming from the most beautiful RU-vidr I know.

This is amazing. Thankyou for sharing and being an inspiration!! Love❤

Hi Ankita. My story is so much similar to you. I am also an IIT grad. When I was young I was extremely thin and people used to associate my beauty with my thin stature. That time I was only interested in studies and hence did not bother much. Its been few years that I have gained a lot of weight. Now people say that I would have looked better if I lost some weight. So I finally realize that people can never be happy and my life does not depend on what they say. I don't bother about my appearance now but I have understood the importance of fitness, exercise and having healthy food especially after relocating in Holland. Here people are more conscious about staying fit rather than how they look.

I can relate to everything that you have said. In fact most of the girls would agree with u on this. It's very sad that people judge a girl only by her looks because this is what society unknowingly teach every kid and this mentality needs to change. I am watching your videos for years now. I have always found u beautiful and inspiring. After watching your very first few videos I was desperate to know ur educational background and was very much impressed when I got to know that u're from IIT. Keep creating more such content, because u influence people positively.

This video is absolute gold !!! ♥️ I’m so inspired, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for this video :)

You are such a beautiful lady 💕 and thank you so much for this video. I really appreciate for this and I really can understand this because I really went through this situation alot. I was a person who love my self alot but after I got married I went through lot of mental and physical harrassment because of my body and lost my self confidence and everything. And I went through depression also for a long because of my husband and his family. And now am divorced and am getting back to my life. So I can understand how it feel. So, please guys stop criticising someone just like that 🙏🏼 you don't know how hard it is

I understand and it means alot to me as i am 20kg overweight and fighting wit it since my teen, m so tired n sad over it. i just want to eat and live life as i want... i live fr food 😪

I am getting emotional you just explained what I felt in the past ❤ But now I learnt self love ❤😘 and self love is sukoon so much..... Thanks for the video.

Love to see you sharing so many things these days, apart from makeup and skincare

You have been my favorite for almost 10 years now. I started reading your blog when I was in my maternity and I think with you I have also grown. Looking ar you and hearing you talk give a sense of calmness.

Soooo pureee. I love how you appreciate yourself. I loved the way you said "I'm intelligent". Wow. Sooo inspiring. ♥️

U r so nice to cc uu I will feel happy when ever I cc ur vedios like any type of vedios

Thank you so much for spreading the positivity..that definitely helped! Please come up with more such videos 😊

A great video on an incredibly important topic! You inspire people, grateful for that! ♥️🙏

I remember when i met you n u said being beautiful is not linked to weight ,your smile, direct eye contact n the power of your words hit me ❤️ Rujuta has changed my life too

I do the exact things u said I believe in eating everything But in moderation But most important Is water.. Drink About 2 lt water per day.. It will surely help .. N we should be active Do anything.. walk.. Do housechores Anything that makes u happy.. Forget ur weight Focus on healthy things

Kudos to you for making this video about your body size! It shows what a brave lady you are compared to all those mean people who leave nasty comments on your pages without examining themselves first!!

Thank you for making this video! This message was something I really needed to hear right now

U r such an inspiration... Please don't let urself fall into society standards... Apart from weight I think there are a lot of stereotypes doing rounds for several years now, for example skin colour,and such....the unrealistic beauty standards are doing more harm than any good... Embracing the way u are is the key to healthy life... Girls n boys out there.. Plz don't succumb to such filthy ideas set by the society.. U are much more than u think u are... And lastly Ankita, thank u so much for addressing this sensitive issue... Lots of love to u❤😘

Hi Ankita, Firstly I started following you on RU-vid few years back . Im a Corporate professional and before my career started I have always been studious and never focused on looks or makeup . Honestly I started following you not because of your beauty blog but you personality was so powerful when i first saw you talking. I was astonished to see a beauty blogger talking about scientific ingredients in a beauty products and giving such an indepth analysis about its usage. I was awestruck and started following you. This video today and your couple of other recent videos are so powerful. I have always been a strong independent woman living my life on my own terms. And in you I see so much talent .. so powerful yet so calm. Such an inspiring soul you are. More power to you. Stay healthy stay safe

This was such an amazing video! I love you girl, you're on fiyah!

So happy to see a beauty influencer talking about this. You deserve a big hug and thanks from all of us out there who have been on the same journey.

I really enjoyed ur message and ur chat and could vry much relate to myself...i also enjoy eating variety of food rather than to jst restrict myself in eating for weight loss.....i jst hav one mindset dat i can only b hppy when i eat thngs i lyk and in proportions dat will hlp my body dat is not that i ll hav too much of carbs or smethng bt not evn punish my self by not indulging in diff food items...thank u for dis

THIS IS GOING TO HELP ME SO MUCH.

I love you for this!!

this video made me happy and i smiled. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I'm 19 and i feel the same thing as you felt as a teen... anxious and not loving the way i look. i have been told my entire life that i am 'fat'. as a kid i was not anxious and used to love myself but over the years social standards has now made me hate my body as i started to gain more weight. but i hope to see myself like you one day...confident and happy.

U r the first whom I watch in RU-vid..seems to be that u r not only beautifull face ...u r also a beautifull soul....its always feels calming by listening n watching u....u r the prsn who teach me to be independent...instead of this that u r not a physiatrist nor a advicer..,but whenever I get low or demotivated I used to listen u...u r my favorite...no matter how u look...but happy to see u like this 😘😘😘😘

@Ankita : I still remember your very old blog posts on IMBB. You were so thin back then ! You still look so beautiful so many years later .... We always love you as a person. The way you are. 😍😘

Realieee a big applause for wat ur doing it on social platform like youtube..... I've always been so conscious about my weight about how I luk ,and I am concious alott now too.... its soo depressing like people make fun.. people just in fun throw comments, like dat time I dont react like hw I felt, but sumwer down it hits.... after hearing u ... uve changed my perception ... seriously dis Is all I needed lots of luv ..... ❤❤❤ more videos on self love seriously luv hw u explain things.... ur beautiful in and out kudos for evrytin luv luv ❤❤❤ just got emotional a bit ....

I have been following your channel for a very long time. I have always loved you and now i love you even more for sharing this. You are a star girl. Thanks for sharing this positivity.

U r such a beautiful person in every possible way❤️. You have been an inspiration to me since past many years. You inspire me with wtever u post one way or the other. You r also one of the very few reasons i gained so much of interest into makeup and beauty that I am a professional makeup artist and hairstylist now. Just completed the course and planning much more to do in the same field.And, nw again u posted something that has filled me with the positivity that was much needed bcoz I can connect myself to it in certain ways. U r doing amazing wrk. Keep inspiring the way u always have. Lots of love and good wishes❤️.

I love the way you talk, and i learn so many new words and phrases from you. You are beauty with brains😘 Edit: I am a heavy girl too. I weigh a 100 kilos now and used to be 104kgs. 5ft 6inch, i workout to feel good mentally and not just worrying about my body weight.

So nicely said! ❤ Thankyou for such lovely words!

Thank u so much ankita for this video Learning to love your body is a journey Learning to appreciate ,accept and love my imperfect self is so liberating.

Now everyone told me you look not good but your conversation gives me lot of energy love you Ankita

@corallista I feel like giving you a hug.. You go girl. It takes a lot of courage to share personal things publically. I have never commented on your video. But this time I couldn't stop myself. You know what Ankita self love is very important. Kyunki taane marne ka theka to duniya ne le rakha hai. I just don't understand why can't people just keep their advice regarding marriage and weight to themselves. But you correctly said that you should not measure your self worth in terms of your weight or looks. More power and Loads of love to you Ankita 💓💓..

You are so so pretty!!♥️ I have been dealing with it for a long time and i still do! More power to you girl😇

Ankita.. u hav immensely inspired all of us out here...let me tell u are one of the graceful ppl I hav come across on social media.You go girl!

Can I be perfectly honest? We would love to see more of you & your beautiful body than just your face. That would make us curvy girls feel more confident & beautiful about our own bodies.

U always looked pretty no matter how much weight u have put on..keep glowing..

You are very well spoken! 🥰 salute to the positivity you have. Keep posting such positive content. Love you & take care ❤️

Much needed.... Thanks for sharing such profound insights.... Quite relatable

yes it was really!!! just love ur self!!! see in your eyes in the mirror and think of all the beautiful thoughts which you love about yourself!!! it will give you a beautiful smile on your face and u'll feel more happy"😍😍😍

I just paused to video to say this, you are not your body! I've been watching you for yearrsss now and you've always been such an inspiration, I remember reading the day in your life part of your blog, your paintings there. You were one of the first beauty bloggers I came across and I was so impressed with your degree as well. I delved into makeup and painting or was motivated to, because of you! LOTS OF LOVE, I'm back to watching the video, bye!

Thank you so much for this video! I've been dealing with PCOS and insulin resistance for a while now, which makes it really difficult for me to shed weight. You've given me a new perspective now! ❤️

This was a very honest & relatable video...I have literally gone through all this myself. And I want to add that its not just the hate comments but also the comments from friends & family like -"You have lost weight, you look great now!" that impacts our mental health. We need to be self aware enough to face the society boldly and don't let others impact our happiness.

Great talk! You couldn’t have conveyed those important points any better. Thank you for this video. This needs to be a public notice message to everyone. Being an Indian and living in India for many years I know this about us that sometimes we just don’t have any filter and we could say the most rudest thing to a stranger with a straight face as if you are giving the biggest “gyan” or advise to someone like “hey you could look so pretty if you were thinner”. It’s just downright rude to say that to anyone let alone a stranger. And the person giving this advise is not doing it for your good but they just feel superior to you and feel that they are in a better place coz they look someway physically to downright say this to your face but really are you healthy and strong physically to make such comments.no matter fat or thin can climb five floors of stairs without being out of breath and dying a lil bit. The whole point is to be happy healthy and having healthy habits. Lot of folks look thin but they have horrible habits like eat shit loads of carbs, fried fatty foods etc and never have consciously worked out in their lives but they remain thin due to their busy lifestyle cos they have to run around the whole day to get work/ errands done and that keeps them thin. But are you really strong and fit. I used to be a thin girl my whole life and let me say never had a great relationship with food (ate all the junk i wanted) and never worked out and felt very good about myself but never really had any stamina to even run for a mile. Started living in the US where I would use my car to go everywhere didn’t make any changes to my lifestyle and put on shit tons of weight. But now I’m slowly learning to forget about my weight and eat healthy and make an effort to work out and the important thing for me now is to not look a certain way but to be healthy and fit for my family. To be able to live long enough to see see grandchildren and be healthy in my old age so that I’m not a burden on my children later. To have stamina to keep up with my hyper active kid. Let me tell you health is so much more important than looking a certain way. And to all the thin people who have shitty eating habits and haven’t worked out their whole life and think they are superior to others to give them rude comments about others weight - just let time pass and that will show you where you are at the health curve. It takes way more effort to work out and eat healthy than just running your mouth. Kudos to you to make this video and to so kindly and graciously open up some people minds!!

U are such a sweetheart and a beautiful soul dear .. ND we all need to understand beauty has no relation with weight or height or skin color. It's more about how we carry ourselves.. ND most importantly everyone is beautiful in their own way... It's high time to break the orthodox prejudices which has no relation with how others want us to be .. It's more about being beautiful inside which reflects outside.. So keep eating.. ND keep loving urself.. Love you always ❤️❤️

Thank you so much for making this video. Everyone needs to hear this.

Loved your positivity and how calmly you handle things

i am a doctor and overweight since i was 12 now i have graduated from medical college i am still overweight but i know i am perfect but for health concerns i started running to maintain my physique not to lose weight and i can run more than my sisters who are in normal weight range. you have done a good job by accepting your body as it is keep it going all the best @corallista

I can listen to you whole day.. You have such a calming voice! ❤

I have watched you for such a long time but never once did I think you needed to change yourself to look beautiful.You are beautiful and have always been regardless of any criteria. I hope you continue loving yourself irrespective of other people's opinions ::]

Beautiful and graceful as always

Ankita I'm one of your oldest subscriber, and you are basically first beauty blogger whom i have started following when i have started taking interest in make up.. I have seen your body changes, and i can resemble myself so lot with you, you always give so positivity, your videos are so positive, your voice is so soothing to hear, i can hear you for long time without even forwarding for seconds, this video really helped me a lot about my concept of my body and i hope i can also starting loving my body from now onwards..
