Hello Doctor Youn, would you please do a video about REMOVING breast implants. I had implants done years ago and I requested a C cup size and the doctor made me a DD because he felt I would be disappointed in a C. Long story short, I HATE them and want them removed! If you have done a video about this please let me know where I can find it, Thank you in advance.
I wish there were more doctors that spoke kind like you and noy condescending, its hard enought to see a doctor about private issues then be ignored or tlked down to.
If someone is happy with who they are that's great. But if that happiness has real consequences they should be made aware of that, especially from their M.D. Many people have serious risks but are happy and confident in themselves. Shouldn't an M.D. point that out instead of say "do you"
Just when l thought that l couldn't like Dr. Youn any more (adopts senior dogs, devoted family man, a true "gentle man"), he shows that he is an absolute troll buster! He gives out witty, on-point come-backs and slap-downs. You go with your bad self, Dr. Youn! ❤
Was coming here to say this. I didn’t think I could respect him more and then this! Standing up for vulnerable people and defending the right for all people to be valued and loved for who they are.
I've been in veterinary medicine for over 35 years. At one point in the early 2000's I mentioned to a doctor who I worked for something about hydrophobia and rabies. He laughed hysterically and said there was no such thing! It became a running joke in the office actually. I feel vindicated right now😂
Awww Tiny is such a handsome and distinguished little gentledog of a certain age. He looks like a better-permed version of my chipoodle I lost last year. I loved my sweet little big man, RIP Peppers. I'm so glad Tiny gets to relish the luxury life in his golden years.
It actually warms my heart to see a doctor speak out on the recent fat shaming obsession online. People KNOW being fat is unhealthy, they still deserve clothes that fit and to not be bullied at the absolute least!!!! ❤
Obesity is a complex issue that is not easily and quickly changed. The aggressive outrage towards overweight people is mind-boggling. Thank you for always standing up for everyone's right to feel acceptance and positivity towards themselves, regardless of their size. I also appreciate your fearlessness in holding up a mirror in front of ignorant Trolls, Dr. Youn ❤
And all those people shouting "you shouldn't be self-confidence if you're unhealthy" just casually forget that disabled people exist, who can't be healthy bc they're chronically ill! Like are cancer patients not allowed to be confident because they're unhealthy? It's mind-boggling how narrow-minded some people are!
@septicember I've never heard it put this way before but you're so right! I'm going to remember this for the next time someone drags out that tired "but it's unhealthyyyyy!" argument
@@septicember Exactly! I have been ill since I can remember. I just don't whine about it and people have commented on my weight for years. I hate it because I am super active and eat well and work like crazy! my weight literally has nothing to do with being lazy or eating too much. I have major heart, lung, blood, and blood sugar issues! I also have some weird worrying scarring on my liver for literally no known reason. I don't drink, I get sick if I eat greesy or fatty food so I have always avoided them, and I have never done drugs or anything like that. I am on steroids pretty regularly which has really not helped with my weight and I actually have been scolded by my doctor and told I need to be less active because she is afraid I am going to give myself a heart attack due to my heart not working right and being enlarged! Im not even 30 yet so everyone seems convinced I can't have the major health issues that I have and are convinced that I must be sneaking junk and laying around all day.
@septicember The thing is that you dont have to hate yourself to want to change. You can work on yourself out.of love. I think people who hate themselves have issues that wont be resolved by just losing weight.
@@LaMariposaSedosa and you dont have to scream "YOURE KILLING YOURSELF" to people to encourage them to improve. if you dont know someone IRL you shouldnt be trying to conduct a fuckin intervention. esp not through a comments section. its not helpful.
I mean , even big girls are allowed to wear cute dresses and feel cute , aren’t they ? I’m a licensed fitness coach but I always find it key to let ppl know that they do deserve self love , no matter of their size
Well said! What are larger people supposed to wear, burlap sacks? I think it’s sad that there is such a backlash against these women who are all wearing the same thing, and all looking beautiful in their own way. I’ve had to lose weight after each of my children, and it can be a long and demoralizing process. Wearing clothes that fit and flatter your figure shouldn’t be reserved for “thin” people; it can be so motivational to see yourself as beautiful right now and not just in the future when you (potentially) lose the weight! All souls are equal 😊
@jennibryan7275 with my condition that's very much my case. Not attractive to seem like a skeleton but nobody tells me to cover up though when I was heavier from having a baby nobody would quit asking if I was sure I wasn't still pregnant. 🙃
EVEN BIG girls are ALLOWED to wear cute dresses and feel cute, aren’t they…QUESTION MARK. What does that even mean? Women of any size do not require approval on what clothing they wear or how they feel in it…by other women who feel superior to them..Period. I’m sure you meant well with your question…but it came across as condescending and insulting.
I totally agree with you on the body shaming. I honestly don’t think those haters give a sh1t about the obese people, they just want to justify how nasty they are by decorating their body-shaming with “concern”. They’re complete strangers after all shamelessly pointing and laughing at those obese people and they enjoy feeling superior over them by bullying. Sad but that’s the ugly truth underneath that “concern”.
@@satrontr1379 As if going once to the gym make you a muscular chad. Try seeing obese youtube who do gym exercise each weeks/day and record themselves, they take YEARS to lose it all, even with sport. And no, it's not ok to lose 20 kg in 1 day, it's not healthy.
I actually stopped talking to a friend bc he thgt no woman should be larger than a size six! He's got to be hanging out at middle school playgrounds if he wants to find a woman that size!
Thank you for giving Tiny the best home for his retirement!! My first pet as an adult was a “vintage” kitty. He was 8 when I got him and he lived to be 17. He was my best friend. Even though I wish I could have had more time with him, I will never regret choosing an older baby.
I got my cat when she was 20 thinking she didn't have long to go and I could give her a warm home. Here we are 4 years later, she's still with me and going strong, ridiculous!
I was laughing so hard at your responses to people saying you shouldn't call fat people beautiful. Disrespectful people don't always deserve eloquent responses and I'm happy to see a doctor be a goofball about that. Everyone is well aware of the risks of being under and over weight. Being happy and feeling confident shouldn't be restricted by your shape or size. It's absolutely stupid that people support that awful idea.
Exactly! The video was not about health, it was about fashion! Beauty does not equal health, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many models who are dangerously underweight and malnourished. And no, there is no such thing as 'promoting obesity'... I've seen many pictures of beautiful fat women and yet never once did I get the desire to just randomly go gain 50 kgs lmao. People need to grow up and stop being offended by things that do not affect them.
Aesthetics and health are two different things. Everyone deserves to feel beautiful, and everyone should take care of their health. Being fat doesn't mean you don't deserve to feel beautiful, but if someone's weight is contributing to worse health for them, they already know that. They know more than any bullies do.
and people can look aesthetically attractive to the norms of society and still be incredibly unhealthy. People just casually forget that disabled and chronically ill people exist when they start talking about how "unhealthy people shouldn't permitted to feel confident."
Awww! I love that’s you adopted a senior pup! I agree on the body size comments. My mother struggled with her weight her entire life. Unlike other addictions, food is required to sustain life. You can’t just stop cold turkey. A much better solution is to find acceptance and joy right where you are and overeating issues may ultimately be resolved. (There are many causes for obesity though!) Beauty comes in all sizes!
I think a lot of harm is done by promoting an idea that weight loss can't happen if you have certain medical conditions that limit your mobility. I lost 200 pounds because I stopped binging and over eating. I stopped treating food as a drug and started treating food as fuel. There's a big difference for me when I am just eating for the nutrition versus when I know I am over eating. It feels differently in a way. I have pretty significant disability from rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. I'm on steroids and pain meds and I'll kinds of things. But I still had to learn how to stop binging. My food addiction is about behavior; is it's not about the food. Food is an easy drug of choice because it's readily available for most people. But that doesn't mean that you can't stop binging or that you can't stop over eating. It absolutely is possible to lose weight even if you have extra struggles. I definitely agree that it's good to acknowledge the positive things about our bodies and how they work really hard to carry us through the world. But it's also OK for me to not accept continuing behaviors that were harmful to me. Therapy has been really important as has getting the correct medications for my brain. But I have been able to lose almost 200 pounds mostly just by limiting my eating to nutrition and not for comfort. I had to learn other things to do for comfort and to deal with stress. But I really hope that we can turn this narrative around that it's impossible to lose weight. It's absolutely possible.
Unknowingly, I was in so much pain before I had my breast reducation surgery that my recovery was less painful than my previously normal life. I was sooooo used to pain that I had forgotten what it was like to live without it. So I whole-heartedly agree with Dr Youn on this. After all the loose skin surgeries, my breast reduction and arm lift was the most satisfying and allowed me to start doing sports again. 🏖️🏐❤
My aunt had 5 pounds of boob removed and said it was transformative and she wished she'd done it sooner. She was finally prompted to do it when someone parked too close to her car and her boobs were so big she ended up ripping an earing out trying to squeeze in. She scheduled the reduction while getting her earlobe repaired.
I had a breast reduction 20yrs ago. It was amazing how much better my neck and back felt. I do have visible scars but I happily accept them for how much better life is.
My reduction did absolutely NOTHING for my back pain! Went from an F to a C back in a out 2013 or so. Still have the back pain (now neck pain also). All it did was give me some really terrible scars that I completely hate. I'm back to a D now with shitty scars.
@@PinkPiper72that just means that your back pain wasn’t from your breasts. Not all back pain is fixed by a breast reduction. You’d think that most people would understand that
Doc, as an overweight person who has difficulty with exercise due to injury and disability, I want to thank you. Many people think shaming people is okay, without knowing any of a person's story. Your kindness is wonderful.😊❤
I am 44 years old and bed ridden with chronic spinal pain from surgeries so I sympathize with you. I literally live on a 600 calorie a day diet to maintain my bmi at a reasonable level (plus if I gain weigh my pain gets worse). I have to take a ton of vitamins and minerals as I just can’t eat much. It’s a difficult situation for some people when they literally can’t exercise or even walk.
Thank you for not body shaming ❤ it's true that most people that are overweight know they are, and know the health risks that come along with that. But making someone feel worse about the way they look is not going to encourage someone to go to the gym, or an exercise class, or for a walk. It's just going to make them feel more self-conscious, and depressed, which leads to (for me anyway) eating!!
Also, a lot of people don't know this but you can actually be overweight and still be healthy internally. Body composition and bone density are factors in this. I know at least two people who eat a balanced diet , exercise and are overweight . All their blood work is normal . They don't have diabetes or liver issues or anything. Same goes for thin people. You can be skinny on the outside but your visceral fat can be through the roof.
@@Redemptionskiss Yes! Thank you for posting this! Weight is a curve, and there's no such thing as an average weight for an average person. Some people are naturally on the larger side, some on the smaller, without them being unhealthy or at risk of certain diseases. BMI isn't a holy grail.
@@RedemptionskissI’m one of these people, I am overweight but all my numbers are perfectly healthy. I’m just a little overweight but I’ve never had any health issues from being so and am working on losing weight to gain some confidence in myself.
As an rather large girl. Every time I feel like my confidence grows. Some one says something that destroys it. So thank you for standing up for us. ❤️ I needed this today.
beauty comes in all shapes and sizes :) not just an XS. I was self conscious about being a large in some bottoms sizes, but it’s really just a label it doesn’t mean I’m unhealthy or ugly, it’s just a letter.
Just keep making good choices and be happy! Stay confident and your beautiful self will always shine through. 💝💝💝 “A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.” - The Twits, Roald Dahl
People don't seem to understand humans are not born all the same size. I'm very short and infact every much underweight, but people think I'm "beautiful"
The reddit story was about a family that had big poops. the poops apperantly frequently would touch one side of the bowl, then bridge over to the other side of the bowl. So they had an old kitchen knife to cut them in half so they would flush. And the poster was over at a friends house, had one of those poops and asked them for their falilies poop knife, thinking its the most normal thing. Its been infamous ever since... though i, too, did not know they made a product like that.
Thank you for the body positivity! I was medium and then I got sick. Years of being too ill to exercise and then put me on steroids repeatedly and long term. I gained over 100 lbs in the first year, 40 in the 2nd year. It went on and on. Now I go to see a Dr. and they say “oh this is bcuz you’re overweight” I am but all these problems, this illness came before the weight gain. At 1st I gained weight so fast I didn’t recognize myself. Several times I walked past a mirror and freaked out bcuz it looked like someone else was behind me. Now on the days I can get out of the house (sometimes once a month or less) I have to use a wheelchair. I feel so nervous thinking that people just assume it’s bcuz I’m lazy. I don’t feel beautiful at all anymore. These trolls need to be educated!
I'm sorry you have to go through that. Between surgeries and Covid, I've put on more weight than I am comfortable with, but with chronic pain it's hard to exercise. If I'm truly honest - I don't like exercising. So, between having bad legs and lack of the urge to exercise I have to except my body the way it is. You only need to be yourself. Hang in there.
i had a breast reduction 2019 at age 36, and it was the best decision i've ever made. it was a tough couple weeks, but the results are perfect (you really can't tell they're not "home grown") i can now go bra-less (before, i had to sleep in a bra because they just got in the way and became achy) and buy normal clothes i went from an I-cup to a C-cup, they removed ~3 kg of tissue this is why plastic surgery is so, so important. not to make someone look like a doll, but to help people feel better and more comfortable in their skin.
Yes! It's very important. I had a mastectomy (ftm) 2 months ago, which is also cosmetic. Never felt so relieved. Still got one surgery to go in the future. My pregnancies left a lot of loose skin in my belly and fat (even though being back to normal weight) making me look pregnant permanently 😬 it's also very painful (and ugly) when wearing pants.
I HATE that anything showing fat people is "encouraging people to be fat" and that fat people can't be beautiful because it's unhealthy. I hate how beauty is tied up in health. Not everyone CAN be healthy and it's so arrogant to make assumptions about peoples health purely on their appearance. How about we let people feel good about themselves regardless of how they look? Plus, you're more likely to make positive changes to your life if you love yourself.
it is scientifically backed to assume an obese person is unhealthy, not arrogant. Chubby is one thing, obese another. Beauty ofcourse is subjective, so yea i guess
It's not arrogant is facts. A lot of what people find attractive in people is taking care of themselves. I agree with loving yourself and stating positive
@@LeispadaOP is saying that it’s arrogant to assume that everyone CAN be healthy. In my case, I use an electric scooter and go to hot yoga (and try to eat a relatively balanced diet) but I’m still fat. I’m also mentally ill which makes everything harder. I’m never going to be a “healthy size” so all I can do is take care of myself to the best of my ability.
@@whollitrolli a person’s size doesn’t always determine if they “take care of themselves” or not. As I just responded to someone else, I’m fat and I exercise/eat well to the best of my ability. I deal with chronic mental health issues which make me exhausted. I might not be a healthy weight but I’ll be damned if I can’t get through a hot yoga class and make the best bento box lunches
Awww man, I love your responses to the body positive video!! People forget that you can be thin or average And be seriously unhealthy. Many young women put weight on from contraception. I have a friend who was at the doctors for something and he Told her she was unfit, she needed to exercise and lose weight. She RAN half marathons, she danced as part of a performance group. She was Far more active than he was at his desk all day. Modern convience food isn't good for anyone But overweight and health comes from so much more. We eat fruit and veg which is smothered in pesticides, our fish we eat is full of micro particles of plastic, the water we drink full of chemicals. Anyway.... Cracking responses 😊 People are happy, more motivated if they feel positive and confident ❤
My mom had a reduction and after she recovered, we rented a motor home for a girls’ trip. The motor home suspension was really bouncy and I said to her that it was good she had the reduction because she would have knocked herself out with her bouncy boobs.
@@wintersprite congrats 🎉... I went from a 38GGG to a 36C! So much happier and bras fit! I'd have to pay at least $60 for well fitted bras before. Now, even the cheap ones fit! Are your tubes still in? That was the weirdest sensations when they pulled them out!
I really appreciate you talking about confidence . Because I am really insecure about my weight and how people around me always say stuff which makes me insecure about my body .Even my teachers , neighbours, relatives have said somethings which affected the way I dress .I always see beautiful women around me who look gorgeous but when I try looking like them I just feel it's not for me I even avoid jeans , dresses .
Yes, it's been the same for me my whole life (I'm 53 now). My dad (French and medical heart doctor) said to us siblings all the time that being fat was the worst and very dangerous and ugly too. None of us weren't fat or close to it but to hear it your whole life makes it hard to look at yourself without being judgemental. As a teen I had no problems and were praised by him for being tall and slim but after my first kid at 24 I gained a bit of weight, about 7kg, that stayed on for many years. One day I had enough and started exercising at home and at my work running the stairs 7 stores (I'm an assistant nurse working in a tall building) intervall training. It worked and I lost those kg in three months. My dad was happy ofc and people around me too. I stayed slim until I got my daughter about 12 years after. I didn't gain one kg being pregnant with her and were praised by the doctor who did the ultrasound that she was able to see the baby perfectly clear thanks to my thin stomach, no fat layers in the way. But after birth I had so much pain for 5 months that made it almost impossible to walk. I was 36 yo then and my kids father was taking care of me by feeding me, literally, nutritional foods but didn't concider the fact that I couldn't exercise as before, just walk a bit with the stroller or baby carrier, so I gained weight again, about the same amount and felt awful. I told him everytime that I was full but he didn't listen and kept feeding me more. Lucky me he's South Korean and knows how to make good and nutritional food, but I was and still am so angry at him that he made me "fat" again (I'm not fat but I feel and see myself as fat) when I was so proud of losing those kilos and stay fit for 12 years. Plus when I was pregnant with her I wasn't hungry and ate well and exercised to NOT get gain weight, so it made me even more dissapointed when I did anyway. My kids are now 29 and 17 and I'm still in the "not acceptable" weight to me... I have to get a grip and do as I did then, the intervall workouts. They worked so well and it was so much fun. Short and fast workouts plus weight training using your body weight at home by following RU-vid workout tutorials. But my view of myself is still bad and I feel like a whale if I put on a dress or anything feminine. I hide my arms and now in summer I cover myself up in clothes while women much bigger than me dress in pretty dresses or shorts and shortsleeved tops. I know that I don't look overweight like I think myself and that my weight is "normal" but still, as long as I'm not slim enough I won't accept to show my body. I no longer live with him but we had a long relationship and he always told me I was beautiful and that it was all in my head, he still does, he wants me back, but I can never show myself naked to a guy as long as I look like this. It's like a curse. My friends and coworkers tell me I'm pretty and three guys are in love with me and everybody tell me I look so young and pretty but I still don't see it. My dad ruined my life in that aspect, and to my sister too, but less than me. He died 2018 but none of is ever told him how we felt...my body image is totallt fvcked up due to the french peoples' obsession with being slim...😒 Sorry for the long a*s essay...
@@tessltaekook8501 Please talk to someone. A social worker or therapist should be able to help you let go some of your negativity, take responsibility for your choices and accept yourself as you are.
you are beautiful, and if you cant feel clothes that help you feel that way, they’re not the right clothes. clothes are meant to fit you, not the other way around. hoping you can find some peace out there
Thank you for not body shaming us❤ i used to be sooo extremely insecure about my body for a long time until I was 18 because of toxicity from beauty standards and social media’s. I’m now starting to accept my body more than I was all those years ago❤ So thank for speaking up about that, Dr Youn! these haters/people can be so terrible sometimes😢
Dr Youn. Your replies to those trolls were pure GOLD, and had me in stitches, ROFLMAO 🤣!!! Thank you for being a real human being, unlike said trolls. Also, I love that you adopted an elderly dog. What a cutie. AU 💜🖤
I have never commented on any of your posts before, but this one I have to say something. Thank you for being a caring person and an excellent Physician of Medicine specializing in Plastic Surgery that you are. I know there are many reasons for obesity and not all of them are from over-eating. I see that you clearly understand that a person's mental well-being is a huge part of their good health. In fact, it has been proven more times than not that sick people can recover better and faster if they feel good about themselves regardless of their medical issues. Good on you Dr.!
I LOVE YOUR RESPONSES TO THE FAT-SHAMERS! Oh my god, that was great. The "don't ask to shadow me" and "please eat some protein for breakfast" especially sent me. As someone who is fat and sick I appreciate you recognizing that we do, in fact, know we are fat and sick. The hilarious assumption that we're lazy for not fixing it or it's the root of all our health issues is just so connected to the social need to pretend that we can control our own health. That kind of thinking is just dangerous. (Considering going on a video rant about it, but idk)
One of my relative's best friend was (is) severely overweight. She/he is also a bona fide genius. She/he went to a school for the gifted (yes, a school, not just a couple classes here and there), earned several degrees in fields as diverse as computer science and law (there may be more, but I forgot the details). Last I heard, she/he had several PhD's. She/he was also never able to shed that weight. And she/he knew she/he should. And she/he tried so hard; dieting, working out, medication. None of it worked. When someone pointed out to her/him that she/he needed to lose weight she/he answered roughly like this:"Do you think someone with my level of education does not know that? Or lacks the self-discipline to stick to tough choices for long periods?" Considering her/his learning schedule was brutal, and she/he probably worked harder than two normal college students combined, that cut people short. - - - If you suffer from either over- or underweight, you basically suffer from the inability to regulate your caloric intake vs your caloric needs. This can be caused or affected by many, many things. My own life-long struggle to maintain a reasonable (to me) weight has taught me it can be a tendency to turn one kind of food into fat more than another (my kryptonite is literally fat; I can have carbs and lose weight - including sugars), it can be when you eat (no later than 5-6 pm; anything after that turns straight into belly fat), it can be how you distribute your meals (a lot of small snacks vs two large meals; even calories being the same, I don't loose weight when I eat two large meals), what mood you're in (so much harder to lose weight when you're stressed or unhappy even when your intake doesn't change). And the fun part is this varies from person to person. What works for me might not work for you. To add insult to injury, many of us who struggle with overweight have a food addiction. That means we WILL overeat if we are pressured too hard. Again, that can be so many different factors: stress, boredom, fear as well as (just like any junkie) ease of access. Unlike any other addiction, though, we cannot simply cut the root cause out of our lives. Instead, we have to deal with it, face it and overcome it, *several times a day*. Imagine forcing someone who tries to overcome alcoholism to drink a sip of wine/beer with every meal ... and see how they'll do. Don't get me wrong, I do think we could do better as a society to offer preventative solutions (I think a lack of time and space to just WALK is an obvious one). And we shouldn't lie to ourselves and pretend that having an unhealthy weight (too much *as well as* too little) has no consequences, including social ones (whether we like it or not). Overall, though, shaming and badgering people for their weight is not going to change or help most of us. Let's do the thing that isn't sexy or flashy: let's be moderate and nuanced.
@p.s.shnabel3409 I really got what you are saying. I have been overweight all my life, not obese and interestingly, up until now at 72, with very few health problems. (My life suddenly turned upside down with excess stress, a daughter with cancer. Within months as her carer, I was unwell with some strange illnesses. Stress is a killer). One thing you didn't mention was the genetic component of size. Weight and our DNA are closely related, and its pretty hard to change a person's DNA. We are born this way, it's easy to see in many families. Fat shaming is ignorant and hateful, and reflects poorly on the haters, not the person who knows 24/7that they are despised for their size.
@@kalayne6713 Yup definitely. Genetics play a role. And people who tell you "it can't make that much of a difference" are either too young (and their handicaps haven't kicked in, yet) or they are among the lucky ones. As for your own situation, I am so sorry to hear that. It's incredibly generous of you to be there for your (adult) children no matter what. I had my own run in with stress this year - it was nothing as bad as yours, just a seemingly never-ending stream of bad luck - and ended up with stomach ulcer. Cannot recommend 0/10. So, please remember to practice self-care; don't do what I did ("it's nothing" and "I'm tough") - see a doctor before it gets bad. Heh, and if the first doctor isn't any good, see a second one ;)
THIS! also being morbidly obese to the point u cant move and being a little overweight but not struggling too much in everyday life because of it are two completely different things. To me there is more important things than being in perfect physical shape. In the end every single person on this planet does things that are unhealthy, even if its just worrying about their fitness 24/7. Mental health is important as well, in my opinion the most important factor when it comes to weight loss. I went through a horrible weightloss journey with ups, downs and different eating disorders, being bullied for my weight as a teen I tried all kinds of things. Went between anorexia and bingeing back and forth. I also was in a phase where I would worry so much that I ended up eating almost nothing all day and working out 6 days a week at least. Until I just had massive breakdowns and my mental health was so bad I ended up in therapy. Was the best decision tho. Working on my mental health has brought me self love over time and acceptance for my body and for not being perfect but overall doing well with my health! You dont have anything from life if your sad and stressed out over your body/health/appearance all the time! I would rather have a shorter happy life honestly! :) I try to eat healthy overall, eat a lot of fresh veggies and fruit, but sometimes go for snacks or junk food every now and then or add that extra cheese simply beacuse it makes me feel good mentally. I stopped monitoring my calories, nutrients, other things I eat and drink. I also have issues with my knee which caused me to be a lot less active lately... I have gained a little weight again but whatever, I learned my body wont stay at the same weight it will go up and down, thats just how it is and thats okay. Being happy with yourself really will give you so much if only other people only stopped judging and worried about themselves. Nobody will say a thing if they see you drinking and smoking and thats even worse for your health... just mind ur business! :0 Weight journeys (loss/gain) can be sooo different for everyone its not always as simple as "just stop eating and start running". Value your mental health at least as much as your physical health guys or you will never be happy no matter how "perfect" your body looks
Small business owners are superheroes! I watched a study about people naturally resistant to covid: all of them small business owners, just like I expected. We just can't afford to get sick or slow down.
People complaining about how unhealthy being overweight is annoy me a lot. Because what is also unhealthy and in some cases even fatal? Exactly, eating disorders.
I love this response to the plus size thing, especially from a medical professional. I've been all kinds of plus size, and you know what happens when I get to wear cute clothes? I feel better about myself, which then leads to caring for my body more. Public shaming on the other hand, makes me want to binge eat.
I am constantly shocked by people not getting this and thinking verbal abuse is helpful. Thank you for explaining to those, hope someone will read and understand
Try thinking about the animals lives being slaughtered so you can "over eat"; go meet a cow or something and say "Your life don't matter". It's an oral fixation no different than smoking.
@@victoriapowell6318 1) no it’s not 2) bro I’m already a vegetarian you might want to stretch before you go jumping to all these conclusions. Plus the weight I put on was due to prednisone I had to take for my lupus nephritis, which caused my kidneys to fail when I was 12. Maybe try experimenting with empathy. I know it’s not as satisfying as self righteous judgement, but it’s a lot less cringe in the long run.
You will be surprised how many people don't think it's bad to be over weight. I was always small but curvy I gained weight the last year which put pressure on my veins and almost died from pulmonary embolisms. So you can have confidence I wish everyone did but I want to see people live more. So no one should be bullied by how they look but just educated on what can happen and than they can choose.
It is sad. When I have babies some of my family tell me to not be so focused on losing weight when I simply missed being active. I wasn’t just starving myself… can’t when breastfeeding or the milk will dry up. But for me, any weight over 140lbs I have knee and foot pain. I think that’s something people seem to get… used to? But I guess I notice the change because rapid weight gain (baby) and rapid weight loss (birth, and being able to go on longer walks again).
I really LOVE the dress that so many models are wearing! I NEED ONE!!! Where can I get one, please? I love your reactions to these videos! Thank you for taking the time to share this with us!❤🙏😘
So happy to see you have a new pet, and you get to send them off after giving them probably the best years of their life… You are simply the BEST Dr Youn!!! ✨💖✨
Welcome Tiny! Senior dogs are the best-my family currently has two and we love them. (Also didn’t know a poop knife was an actual thing-guess you learn something every day)
Becoming healthy is a process, you should be able to love yourself and feel confident every step of the way. I love that certain brands make that possible. In fact when you feel confident you are more motivated to improve your health.
I love your sassy responses! More happy you are with yourself the easier it will be to be motivated to get in a healthy routine. So happy to see you being so positive.
about that poor rabies guy, once you show symptoms, there's no treatment. him choking on water is sadly a clear sign that he'll succumb to it. rabies in humans is basically 100% fatal
Yes, that’s what I was thinking when I saw the video as well 😢I’m deeply sad for that man and his family. I’m surprised Dr. Youn didn’t mention the high mortality rate, and I was shocked when he said “I hope he’s doing well” when it’s extremely unlikely that the patient survived.
12:12 thank you for this. I’m morbidly obese and have been most of my life. I know it’s not healthy, but have tried nearly everything from Dr. monitored diets, to gastric bypass (which almost killed me) with little to no results. I finally was down to a reasonable weight and had to have a hysterectomy and the weight all came back over the course of a year, despite my efforts to lose it. I don’t need a doctor or anyone else to point out my weight, I already know.
I had large pendulous breasts. As a runner I could not find a bra to contain them - the whole mass would just bounce. Small dotted bruises everywhere. My breast reduction set me free to run further and longer. Note: It was amazing how much skin they removed!)
I know a few overweight people that are healthier than me and they are way heavier than me. So not all people that are overweight are unhealthy! I have one friend who is overweight and somehow her blood panel comes back perfect, she's full of energy, and she looks about 10 years younger than she is! How is this possible🤔
A little extra is better than not enough and if you're active and eat well, you'll be fine no matter your size, unless you have unrelated issues of course
As always, anything extreme is wrong. Promoting obesity is wrong (because it's dangerous and make people feel tired, etc.), but shaming them and spreading hatred is also wrong. Why not trying to find a middle line? This is what is missing the most in Western countries nowadays.
Thank you for your positive message at the end Dr. Youn! I am overweight and I know I am currently unhealthy, but my health journey is not something I can change overnight. I'm working on it! But hearing people dog on others like me just feels so bad. So when I hear good Dr.'s like you be so uplifting and positive about other women of my body type it really helps me feel good, and actually helps motivate me to improve myself to be the healthiest self I can be! 💕Thank you for being a positive and uplifting force in this world!
I realized I'd never actually seen a video of a person exhibiting rabies symptoms before... That's got to be so scary, having such an extreme aversion to water like that. Also, LOVED your responses to the fatphobia at the end!! It's so good to see how positive and encouraging you are about body and health positivity. Oh, and I love Tiny, too!!!
I never knew about the fear of water as a rabies symptom before. My biggest worry is that rabies in humans is mainly treated by penicillin, which I'm allergic to.
@@vickiweber4718If you get bit by an animal, you should get the vaccine. When you don't and you wait for symptoms to show up it doesn't matter if you get penicillin or not, it's 99% death sentence.
@@vickiweber4718 I mean the scariest thing about rabies is if you notice them - develop symptoms, it means its in your brain. And you are already dead.
Rabies in humans, when symptomatic, is practically always lethal (there may have been a couple of recorded cases of survival). Treatment for rabies *infection* (i.e. you have been bitten by a rabid animal and go to the hospital from the getgo) is by through a series of post-exposure vaccinations; because this virus' replication rate is low you can develop immunity from vaccination before you develop symptoms@@vickiweber4718
I lost 100. I know what it is to wear 3x and now medium. No one shaming me persuaded me to lose weight, but love, including salf-love, drove me to change. I felt beautiful at my highest weight, but I hurt all the time and was losing mobility. I feel beautiful now, and I can walk without pain up stairs that I used to have to rest, out of breath, midway through. You can feel beautiful obese, and feel beautiful at an average size. Smaller women can feel ugly, too. I'm with you, Dr. Youn. Those women were beautiful, they deserve to feel it, and some of them will even choose to lose the weight, but from that glow of self-love rather than shame.
I used to have an overactive thyroid, i dropped from 138 pounds to 96 and looked like a skeleton, the doctor treated me with radioactive iodine and guess what? I went back to my normal weight for a few years and then the pounds started creeping up. I take thyroid pills but it really makes no difference. I now weigh somewhere in the range of 185, no idea because i won’t go near a scale. I don’t eat much, but it doesn’t matter, the weight still keeps creeping up. I work as a psw full time and have a 4 year old granddaughter i help look after so i am always busy. My weight is pretty much out of my control, the doctor just says ‘of course you have a weight problem, look at your thyroid numbers’. What i’m saying is that sometimes a persons weight is beyond their control.
Thank you for your kind words Dr. Youn. I have had I-cup breasts since I was 18 and a size 3x. Everyone told me as I worked on losing fat I would lose it rapidly in my breasts. When I was 21 I was able to shed 50lb of excess fat, but my breasts did not shrink at all. I started living healthier and built significant lean muscle during this time. Unfortunately, my insurance was not good enough for me to pursue reduction surgery. Then covid happened, and like many people, I gained a lot of fat back. I now, at 26, weigh more than I did at the start, but because of the density of my lean muscle tissue, I am actually a smaller size (1x on top, 2x on bottom) than I was at 18, and much healthier too. I finally had a new insurance and approached my GP about my constant breast pain (it feels like being stabbed with a knife), the fact I am developing degenerative disc disease in my spine, and my chronic neck and shoulder pain. The size of my breasts also makes effective exercise painful and difficult, and on multiple occasions I have actually bruised my sternum from exercising too vigorously because of their weight (despite wearing very supportive and compressing bras). With a single 5-minute conversation she diagnosed me with macromastia and drafted me a referral to a plastic surgeon. Unfortunately, due to my BMI, I was rejected from even being able to be seen for a consult! It is utterly ridiculous that I cannot get the care I need simply because my body has extra fat on it, even though I am a physically healthy person who takes care of myself. There was no assessment for my actual body fat percentage or cardiac/blood health, no measurements taken to determine if I am a good candidate for reduction. Simply a “you won’t be seen until your BMI is under 35.” To that end, I appreciate you explaining how breast reduction can be incredibly helpful and healing, and ALSO not being critical or discriminatory of people with more fat on their bodies. Despite the pain I’m in today, your words have lifted my spirits. Thank you, Dr. Youn.
I'm busty, too, and people are so full of it! I lost fifty pounds and like, a cup size. Yes, boobs are fat, but your body has Views on where it wants to keep its fat. Weight loss is not a breast reduction!
my mom always says this when i tell her i dont want them at all ive maintained 200 to 230 for the past 5 or 6 years and every new bra has to get bigger despite that. i was told at 25 they should stop growing, so 3 more years to go
Overweight and Obese are two separat terms for a reason. Surprisingly we CAN make obese people's lives not miserable and adress medical injusticedone to them while ALSO keeping track of facts, which are: obesity kills you.
@@spiderlily723 surprisingly, you CAN stop stating the obvious as if it's some kind of "gotcha" in a conversation about self-confidence. Love yourself regardless of your health. Period. Anything less is harmful to a lot more than just obese people. Because, you know, disabled people with chronic health conditions exist and making a conversation about self-confidence into an argument over whether it's okay or not for someone unhealthy to love themselves lacks any form of critical thinking and nuance and hurts people who genuinely do not have a choice in the health of their bodies, people who want to make lifestyle changes but can't due to severity of symptoms or financial issues. I'd love to be healthier, but I can't afford the services I would need to support me until I was strong enough to maintain those changes myself.
@@septicember Hey, disabled chronically ill person here - but thanks for STATING THE OBVIOUS. ;) And until people stop promoting suicidal levels of obesity as 'just little more rolls to love', I'm gonna state the obvious. You can absolutely love yourself despite being obese - you can also love yourself while knowing you're unhealthy. Self-love should be completely removed from 'health' discussion outside of 'it's healthy to love yourself'.
Thank you for an uplifting video about the beauty found in all people. Yes, of course, obesity is unhealthy, but each of those women glowed. Further, finding positive feminine images can be difficult, while fat shaming in the name of medical health is common. As someone who lost a profound amount of weight, one of the most helpful things I have found on RU-vid are the growing number of women who show up joyfully, beautifully at all ages, sizes, shapes and colors. Thank you again for joyful and beautiful images and your common sense information about possible procedures.
Can't help but notice that none of those people said anything about the lovely underweight women in that video. If they we're truly lashing out of concern for those ladies' health, and not because they want to be mad little buttholes, then wouldn't they have mentioned the underweight women as well? Be whatever weight makes you feel comfortable and happy everyone. these people just want to be mad, let em' be mad, it seems to be all they have going for them.
Those idiots shaming the people in the video just for being a bit overweight. It’s sad to think that that’s where our world is going. If everyone should be able to feel comfortable in their own skin and not have to deal with pricks like that on the Internet
Love your replies to the trolls! We never know what someone’s personal situation is, and it’s such a wonderful thing to feel beautiful in the body you have at the moment. We don’t exist for others; we exist for ourselves. Anyone who sees these beautiful, confident women and only focuses on the negative should reflect on why they’re so bothered and stop pushing their insecurities onto other people. Love your videos, Dr. Youn!
This was great, and a really fantastic display of your character Dr Youn, you may never see this, but hopefully more people will take a letter from your book here. If I can be half the doctor you are, I'll know I've made it!
I actually really like those size comparison videos, because everyone is always so beautiful and confident, it shows how the clothing will fit every size, which is really the whole point of the videos to begin with, and I think it inspires me to be more confident. I have body dysmorphia, it’s especially hard as women with body dysmorphia to not compare ourselves to others. When I watch this video I think that I most look like the 3X girl but I know from the tags on my clothes that I actually wear an XL so I’m closer to that girls size. I think having that concrete size breakdown is helpful for my mindset, and it’s also helpful to see everyone at every size slaying it and looking great.
Yup... when the symptoms start it's too late. Your dead. You have to take the vaccine emediately after or as soon as you can after you get bitten. If I lived in a country with rabies (we don't have that in my country) I would have taken the vaccine no matter if I got bitten or not. One guy was bitten by a bat in some country while he slept and didn't wake up by it. Luckily the bite started itching and he noticed the two holes from the bat's teeth. He got the vaccine in time...
Thank you for the last video. I'm plus size and get those kinds of comment all the time, but I have PCOS, so controlling my weight is a struggle. However, other than that, I'm pretty darn healthy according to my last physical. Needed that good laugh from the replies to the trolls 😂
Love your responses to the fat shaming trolls. There are healthy people out there that are larger and there are skinny people that are unhealthy. It's ridiculous how so many people equate size with health and bullying those that don't fit into "normal" sizes isn't good for anybody.
Congratulations on your latest addition. Tiny is so absolutely adorable and I love that you rescue dogs and you gave an adorable, senior dog, a loving home! Also, feel free to put Tiny in more of your videos. so super cute!❤️🐶
Thank you for being a good human and celebrating the positivity in that video. It was respectful and not condescending, especially from a medical professional. Your comebacks and gaslighting comments were hilarious! I never cease to be shocked at the savagery and vitriol of some people (I hope that doctor gets the patients he deserves, what a prick). It shows how little they understand, physically and spiritually, or care to understand. But I always try to imagine how vile it must be inside their brains. Imagine their thoughts if they need to be so awful to people. There is so much to say on this but I see many people here understand. And nothing is more awesome that animals!😃💖 Yay Tiny pupper. Next vid I want to see more animals on you lol. A kitty perhaps? 🐾🐾🐾
When I was 33, I was in three car accidents - I was in the passenger seat for each of them - and I was hurt pretty badly. I put on weight each year for quite a while until I was unrecognizable from my old self. One of the biggest changes was that I was so desperately ashamed of how I looked, that I stopped socializing very much. I know now that this was ludicrous, but I felt that everyone was judging me - and let’s be honest, a lot of people probably were. Fast forward 25 years and I finally had an epiphany about my weight. One of my grandsons (who was 13 at the time) came over to the sofa I was on and snuggled up right beside me with his arm around me. I was kind of chuckling to myself, because this was how he always snuggled with me as a baby when he announced “I love cuddling with you, Grandma. Your hugs are like a squishy ‘I love you’ that makes me feel safe”. It was at that moment that my arm batwings didn’t seem so bad! 💖
Tiny is adorable!! You have him beautifully groomed. Bless you for giving senior dogs a loving home! It made me laugh that he turned his little face away from the first Tiktok lol. I personally got a breast reduction, and it did wonders for my self-confidence. I never knew for sure that my back pain was caused by my breasts until I had them reduced. Absolutely life-changing. It is so much easier to find clothes that fit me now!
I had a breast reduction back in 2003. I was fortunate that my health insurance covered it and I was overall happy with the result however, after some time went by I started to notice some deformities such as pockets of fat under my armpit that I never had before. Also, my left breast is almost a full cup size larger than the right. I'd love to be able to get them fixed however I can't afford it.
Sounds like one may be trying to grow back. Your doctor should be able to stress how much trouble it's causing you to your health insurance and hopefully get a full cover or a partial cover.
It means that a blood vessel, or blood "tube" was damaged or severed, and blood spilled out to the rest of your body, all of that happened under the skin ofc
I just turned 60, and because of an accident I can't exercise at all. I weigh more than I ever dreamed I would. I was fanatical about my weight and exercising when I was young. I DO NOT EAT ENOUGH AND DON'T SNACK AT ALL, and I can't lose weight if my life depended on it !!! There are to many know it alls out there in the world today !!! My husband DOES NOT CARE ABOUT MY WEIGHT AT ALL !!! That IS TRUE LOVE !! Something else young people today know nothing about !!!!
