I was really shocked when she said that there are comments like this because most of the video's comment sections are full of ppl including me, who are fangirling over Jazz! I mean, srsly, what's NOT there to love about her??
She's actually so gorgeous though??? Like her name, her personality, her style, body, looks...everything!!! She's very down to earth and loving. I can just see that every time she's in a video or anything. Keep at it girl! And I'm so proud of you and so happy for you that you've gotten so much better!
I wish she knew that she is my inspiration for getting my hair cut that short and for looking so cute in crop tops/stylish clothes and not every five seconds worrying about how it looks
My name is Jazmin. I’m 23. I’m mixed. I’m plus sized and I struggle with an eating disorder for a sense of control as well. The similarities are creepy lol. Idc I love seeing her in videos. Keep being wonderful.
I'm russian girl and I don't understand a lot of words in this video( BUT when I saw Jazzmyne(earlier videos) I thought:" wow, she is cool, I want to be like Jazzmyne, very confident and free I'm unable to can understand people who's don't like her JAZZMYNE, LOVE YOU! You are SO WONDERFUL AND VERY BEAUTIFUL! ps: sorry for my English just my thoughts)
Okay, buzzfeed isn’t one of my most favorite things, but Jazzmyne is honestly amazing. She’s so pretty, proud, and confident and I just love her bold and outgoing style. I actually started wearing bold bright lipsticks and playing around with styles I like and I feel like she’s one of the reasons for that. Thanks Jazzmyne ❤️
Katie Driver I’ve been there and I used to make myself vomit after enjoying booze and rich food in my 20s. Once I did it in a hotel bathroom during an office party and someone random asked me if I was alright. I brushed it off , but was mortified that I was loud enough to be heard outside. It flipped a switch in me and I joined an aerobics class and lost a ton of weight. I love food and a lot of Indian food is very heavy, when I met my Husband, he was constantly cooking for me and all our dates centered around food and I piled on 25kgs and for someone who is 5 feet it’s a lot. My wedding pictures look awful. From then on I have been losing and gaining weight- losing when I ate only salads for a year and gained back almost everything I lost once I went in a normal diet. I also have severe PCOS and have a lot of cysts in my ovaries and my doctor has told me I absolutely need surgery as my cysts have my womb swollen to as if I am 5 months pregnant. It is what it is. Trying to be healthy and happy with myself & I think I am rocking it!
nvy thank you. Bottom line is if you can change something that you don’t like about yourself, you should do it. If it’s not possible learn to appreciate the other blessings you have in life. Life is too short to live with misgivings and sadness.
Chantel, you are a freaking genius. I’m so happy that someone like you is taking the public platform to share the raw, genuine, beautiful truth about humans. Thank you so much, and thank you Jazz, we love you both ❤️❤️
I really love the part with "Someone's gonna love it - and it's me." That is exactly what I needed to get reminded off. I have to like myself, noone else. Thank you Jazzmyne.
Jazzmyne you've taught me how to love myself even if I'm not my ideal weight or body, that doesn't mean I can't love myself. my body was made the way it was and I've learned to accept that with your help. Continue to remain strong ❤
Monbebean :3 you should never accept if your body is unhealthy, never give up! That’s terrible advice! That’s like a smoker just accepting their addiction and not trying to stop it, obesity is the second highest cause of death. You should never hate yourself! But accepting an unhealthy lifestyle is just as if not more destructive than hating yourself.
cereal murtherer That is so rude! What’s wrong with you! How about you show off yourself and let other people like you call you a cow! Think about what you’re gonna say!
cereal murtherer ppl who make comments like this are the reason why ppl like me who aren't comfortable In their body, like this because 1 person saying something rude or making a hurtful comment can stick with us forever plz think before you say even tho I'm not happy with my body or in my skin I promise I will never bring someone down because I know how it feels to be brought down. I think jazz is so brave for talking about this because it's very personal. So please dont make comments like that and if you have them because im.not saying you can't have an opinion keep them to your self.
Eating disorders are really common and I'm not just talking anorexia or bulimia but also the kind of eating disorder where people binge eat without control. From some reason I feel like society is more easy to attack anything obesity related but we don't place the same importance on the other end, that we should be eating a certain amount daily to get our nutrition. So therefore many women have this unhealthy mindset that losing weight means healthy, means good, at all times when it isn't. At school I was always taught about the bad sides of obesity but teachers never said that not eating enough was bad too; perhaps by this stage, many young girls in my school already developed the idea that losing weight is always a good thing. I really wish kids these days get educated about this anorexia and bulimia too, before they reach puberty age.
When she talked about her eating disorder, I just broke down into tears bc I delted with mine when I was in high school, around 14 or 15. I would eat normally with the rest of my family, with a good amount of food on my plate. Then 10 mins later, i would walk to the bathroom (ai had my own bathroom), cry for another 10 mins, and then leaned over the toilet to make myself throw up. It broke me down, bc growing up, most of my family was skinny and tall, and I was the only short and chubby one, who didn't really fit in. Even my friends at high school were underweight or "normal" size, and would point out my flaws, such as having a double tummy, or my sides sticking out . But one day I saw a documentary on how ppl died from eating disorders. Then I thought, " if I don't change, I'm going to die". So I told my very best friend the truth, she hugged me and she told me, " who cares if ur not skinny?? you are beautiful just the way you are (sounds cliche i know). From then on, with therapy and medication, I started to gain some weight back. Now that I gained most of my weight, I never felt happier in my life. The size of your shirt or pants doesn't make you are, the size of you heart does. Never worry about your size bc you are beautiful just the way you are. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much to everyone. I didn't think I would get so much inspiration. I thought I would just get 1 or 2 replies tbh. But wow. Holy crap. I'm doing much better now. Thank u all. 😘😘❤️❤️❤️
I have so much respect for her. I obviously had respect for her before, but this just adds a whole new layer of depth and beauty to her. I see a lot of me in her, so knowing that she’s come out the other side a better person is so reassuring. Thank you, and I can’t wait for the rest of this series ❤️❤️
Jazzmyne, this was so brave of you. I think we all know that the internet is not a friendly place, and being willing to share your story to provide shelter for those in similar situation shows true strength. Thank you.
I don't know why, but I LOVE JAZZMYNE!!!!!! I'm an asian with weight problems and to be an overweight asian means everyone you know will judge you for being overweight. I never felt comfortable during big family meetings. But, hearing you talk about it made me feel a bit more comfortable in my skin. Thank you! Idk, your story is comforting, bcs it tells me that there is a chance I would finally accept myself.
Being overweight as an Asian also puts you a lot higher risk for health problems than people of other races that are overweight, it's sad, but it's reality.
DUDE oml t h i s im half latinx half asian (approx for both, slightly less) and i look super asian so im definitely curvy compared to all the japanese fellas around me that are so thin and i get judged and i literally get forced by my mum to wear compression shirts to look thinner and get smaller boobs
I love her so much smh. I saw her at pride today and was uh too scared to say anything but she's just lovely and I can't get over how great she is sorry pal
I loved her before this and now I LOVE HER AND UNDERSTAND HER EVEN MORE! 💕 I am so sorry about your past and I hope you have a better life forward you inspire me and a lot of others, thank you so much.
who TF can hate Jazz? She's really beautiful and a really confident woman! i always wanted to be confident like Jazz and i love her style too. i wish i could be that good with my outfits. I LOVE JAZZ SO MUCH!
I had an eating disorder for years (about 5) and I can honestly say it is one of the most difficult things to overcome. I tried therapy, help websites, rehab, nothing worked. Finally, one day I decided I was going to get my tongue pierced. I was bulimic, and I knew how sensitive tongue piercings were to infection, so I figured that maybe if I had a hole in my tongue, I would be too scared to throw up and infect it. That was 5 years ago, and today I can proudly and confidently say that I have beaten my disease. I share this story with you because I am so incredibly impressed that you were able to just stop cold turkey. You are so strong Jazzymyne, and I have always liked watching your videos because of the confidence you portray. Knowing the state of mind you were in back then, and seeing you now, makes me admire you even more. You are an inspiration, and though I know this comment will get lost in the sea of nearly 7,000 people praising you for your courage, I couldn't help but take the time and write this. Thanks for sharing your story, never look back :)
I Think that the Way you stopped is amazing. everyone has their own way of dealing with stuff like this and just because some way works for one person doesn’t mean it works for everyone. You found your way of doing that which is very inspiring❤️❤️
Really liked this episode. This helps me understand Jazzmyne. And, frankly, I needed to understand her more. Because there were times I really liked and disliked her.
I know why I love Jazzmyne ! - she rocks no hair like a boss -she rocks long braids like a boss - she inspires me ( a teenager who is battling weight and fat gain) -she pushes all the boundaries until she breaks them - she overall just slays my life In conclusion YESSS JAZZMYNE ilysm 💕💕💗💗🎀🎀
The first time I saw Jazzmyne I didn't really like her, even if I didn't know exactly why... but with the time I realize that I didn't like her because she is the kind of woman I want to be, and still not able to become. She is bold, colorful, sassy, confident and beautiful in her own amazing way. She rocks her unique style, she doesn't fear the judgment of others, she loves herself and she is an example for all the women out there who are trying to find their confidence. So now not only I love her , but I hope one day I'll be half as confident in my shoes and positive about myself as her.
I dont why i feel this video came in the right time... I lost 10 kgs in a month and then gained all the weight i lost in a week because i was anxious because of my finals .. and today i cried my eyes out because idk why i just cried alot no one knew what has gotten into me i just decided not eat and now i regret this stupid decision.. Edit: thanks to every one who shared they're experience and supported me, and the ones who explained stuff to me, i really appreciate that thank you 💖💖 and i just notice i said all the weight i lost no i gained like 5 to 6kgs back sorry about that mistake ..
이순복 you're stronger than you think. Please reach out to others that can help you, so you can help yourself. I used to binge and starve myself to the point where I almost died from the huge amount of laxatives I took. Its hard but I know you can get better. You deserve to get better.
이순복 my close friend stopped eating and started drinking something to lose weight. She keeps dropping weight and it’s really scary because her face used to be so full and now it’s so thin
Your body is being nice to you, eating protein and working out you probably heard this a lot. You’ll feel healthy, I hope one day you can enjoy the feeling like I did.
Thank you for opening up to us about such a personal story. It reminds me to be more open about personal things too. I think in this world it's so easy to shut down everything inside and just not let people know what's going on.
This is a great project. It's always best when the producer is making a video they're passionate about. It really shows. Thanks for sharing your past, Jazzmyne. Now to the more important issue at hand: please don't show a mid-roll without a placeholder or warning a viewer that a mid-roll is coming up. I'm absorbed in the story you wanted to tell, and I was about to find out what Jazz overheard at therapy. When suddenly a really annoying ad shows up. There was a point after she explained what she overheard that the video takes a pause, and maybe I'd still hate the mid roll but at least move it there where it doesn't obstruct the flow of the story.
I love jazzmyn she shows me as an 11 year old mixed girl that I am perfect the way I am and not mintion I have the same body type as her so she really helps me be me and love me sorry for my spelling
I think it's insane who people are always encouraged to hate themselves. When everyone goes "Ugh I hate my thighs" "My nose is too long" "I wish my waist was tiny like hers" etc we accept it, and even find it relatable and cute. But when you say "I love my body" you come across as arrogant or vain, or people think you believe you're better than others. It's like this in real life as well as in movies. Especially the female characters in romantic comedies tend to be these quirky gorgeous women who don't see how gorgeous and amazing they are. And somehow that's what makes them so likeable, because then someone else (often a male character) can swoop in and make her realise how amazing she is, awwww. To anyone reading this: you are beautiful and you don't need to talk bad about yourself in order to be likeable!
This is such an inappropriate comment. This is literally a video about someone with an eating disorder. What positive change are you putting out into the world by making this comment? Who does it benefit? Her weight doesn't hurt you, but your words can hurt her or someone else in the comment section. Additionally, you're responding to a comment that isn't talking specifically about plus sized women, but just women in general feeling like they're not allowed to have pride in themselves and their bodies. How is your comment relevant to that? It isn't.
Caroline Torres Just ignore them. They just want attention and to spread hate. They also clearly have no life since they've replied to multiple comments with their ugliness.
Jay Planeta People like him are very rude and offensive, and should probably not have internet access, but I don’t think he is completely wrong. It scares me seeing people glorifying such a deadly lifestyle. Millions of American die of obesity/heart disease. I think we should be encouraging people to become healthier for their own sake. NOT because you want to be accepted by society, but because we don’t want you injecting needles into yourself until you drop dead at 30 from a heart attack. Don’t go around shaming people, but tell them they need help. No, it’s not cool and trendy to be overweight and obese. It’s deadly.
cereal murtherer C'mon eight year old. Maybe your parents think it's ok to fat shame people, but it's not. A lot of people have a naturally slower metabolism, causing them to gain weight. I can see you scrolling through the comments trying to infect your hate onto other people. If you really believe that there should only be skinny people in this world, come up with really good reasons. Here's a lesson for life: *If you present your ideas and opinions in a rude, unnecessary, or biased way, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN THAT WILL BENEFIT YOU.*
Michelle Saavedra that’s stupid she was talking about her past eating disorder and that it was unsafe but becoming obese and being careless about gaining weight is no less dangerous
Taylor Stigall she kinda made it people's business on the internet no matter if your over weight or under it's still dangors for your health but I would not call her stupid
Seasons Die I just think the whole moral of the story is lost here. The point is not whether she is healthy or not. It’s about being comfortable with who you are. I’ve had an eating disorder for over 8 years and I’ve struggled with it on and off. Regardless of where I’m at in weight, I’m happiest when I can find confidence and comfort in myself, as a person. And when I do it reflects on the outside. I feel like I look damn good no matter what weight I’m at when I’m happy with myself as a human being. So she needed to find self love before she could focus on anything else. Because at the end of the day that’s what’s most important. And honestly, I’d rather be fat and happy than thin and depressed. It just is what it is. I’m not saying that obesity is not an epidemic, but I think if people stopped putting so much emphasis on weight, and worried about being happy with who you are as a human, the world would be a much better place, bottom line she was saying her weight and her body isn’t anyone else’s concern but her own and she may not choose to share how she is dealing with that but we should be grateful that she has shared this with us. Sorry for the freaking novel.
Taylor Stigall Thanks for not being overly mag in your reply. I also struggled with food issues but I was never diagnosed I get the moral now, personal for me I would rather be skinny
I get a bad vibe from Jazz in certain videos, like the Amazon Swimsuit vlog when she didn't bother to do the tasks properly. It's her attitude that I don't vibe with, not at all the fact that she's plus size, or has short hair (Like she said). Having said that, no-one deserves to be put in a place where an eating disorder is your way of finding control in your life. I feel for her. And it was very brave of her to say all of this on camera, when she doesn't need to. It was her choice and this video is going to help a lot of people.
Deep Redd, I AGREE!! I sometimes just get a bad vibe from her, that’s the reason why I don’t really like her. It’s not at all because she’s plus-size or because she had short hair.
Agree so much. I don’t like her not because of her body or looks or style choices, that’s each to their own. I don’t like her because she has a bad attitude and in videos that include tasks and challenges she barely even tries, if at all.
Naomi Jazzmyne said in the video that she knows people dislike her, and she thinks it's because she's different in appearance from their norm. I wanted to point out that while I dislike her attitude toward certain things, I don't judge her based on her appearance. That's not what it's about. I suppose I kind of want to reassure her (And others) that some people aren't as superficial as to pick on one's appearance only, and not judge their personality. I also wanted to point out that while I'm not a fan of hers, I still feel for her for revealing this story and being brace enough to put it out there. I meant no insult by what I commented.
I also think one of the reasons people may say “I don’t know why but I hate Jazzmyne” is because Jazzmyne radiates confidence and so many people are not familiar with that. They are scared of what is foreign to them and they aren’t familiar with that level of self love and self appreciation, especially for a plus size woman. (Wow What a concept!) I hope they love themselves enough one day to appreciate other people who do as well. I love Jazzmyne. I love that she is the role model people may be seeing now and I am so happy that she loves herself As/Is
Vitoria_Plays_ I don't know. I really liked her until I got into the 'feed famous' series, but then everything seemed contrived and there was favouritism, and now I don't know how I feel 😂 being a plus size woman with confidence I get all of that 😁
She have equally positive and negative vibes to me. I know she have things she is going through, and I know what that is like, and hope she accomplishes everything she wants to. But sometimes, it seems to me like those problems are used as an excuse not to follow the same rules as everyone else (ex. in the different videos), and I get a very negative, defensive vibe from her. I think this is why some people dislike her. It is actually when she is not feeling confident, that she tends to 'bite' and be a little 'mean' (not just humorous/sarcastic). Many people don't know the difference, because they never tried it. It comes off as arrogance/false 'confidence', but seeing how she is when she is more sincere, I think it is just defences. Though I still don't like that Jazz. However, when she seems more at peace, I really like her. For example her video about personal training. She seemed much more sincere, and din't have her guards up in the same way. She still had the sassy/sarcastic sense of humor (I have that too), but in a more natural, and less negative way. And she can be very supportive and caring towards other people, when she is not behind that mask of defences. Trust me, that thing is very difficult to break, and you behave like a completely different person. I think the true/happy/balanced Jazz is a very awesome and beautiful woman, with a great deal of inner strength, but sometimes it can be hidden behind the mask. Of course I could be wrong, I don't know her personally. Either way, just hope she will figure things out.
Jazzmyne tearing up made me cry. Eating disorders are horrible and so many girls (including me) are positive that we have to have a different body. Jazzmyne, you're an amazing role model.❤
I had an eating disorder too. As a woman who is naturally built on a slightly larger scale (I'm tall, large breasted, and broad shouldered) I understand the pressure to become more like other women; thinner and more ...well, dainty. It was particularly bad in my teens, since that's such a formative age. I'm so proud of you for healing, and I know it can be a struggle sometimes. But you are fabulous Jazzmyne, and I adore that about you.
Jaiden said something very similar. "It isn't always about the weight, it is about the control." People that struggle like this only want control, they want to to feel like they have control in time where things went to fast.
I really admire her a lot. Her confidence is through the roof. I try to have her confidence, but it’s really hard when I get too many people pointing out what I already know. More power to you Jazzmyne!
She seems way too full of herself. Not in a confident way. In a “oh well I have obviously been through more than you so I am smarter and stronger and I know more about everything” type of way tbh
