She called herself the 'first' plus-sized supermodel. Instead of schilling diet teas on Instagram, she shills the fantasy of body positivity no matter if your size is crushing your organs.

That was all fine for her until Covid essentially assured an early death sentence if she caught it.

She's a moron. This woman was a plus size model and quite well known before Tess was born.

What? How is a morbidly obese person anorexic? I'm not buying it. Sorry. This one is just a step too far. Does she have an issue with food? Absolutely, but she is not anorexic. Stop the crazy train.

Apparently she lost 100 pounds because she stopped eating. Sounds like anorexia to me, and potentially quite dangerous, even if it doesn't fit your narrative.

The hate is amazing, I like Tess, I find her journey to finding herself and healing relatable, she just takes SO much heat and hate for existing. Let her be. She's someone on journey, you don't want to watch it, don't.

Wow, you people really know nothing about eating disorders and obesity. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/maintenance-phase/id1535408667?i=1000515051140

Let her be? Dude, when you put ever instant, image and bit of yourself on social media and the internet to create a celebrity profile and increase your bankability you are asking for the barrage of inquiries, news articles and media attention. This is literally what she does. She is not taking heat for "existing". If she were merely "existing", we'd never have heard of her. I get so tired of people who make a living by creating a public persona then pretending like they did not spend hours honing a public image with incessant SM posts and living their life 24/7 in the public eye. How many magazine covers has she done? Exclusive interviews? Tell-alls? Welcome to the public eye, Tess.

And no, she's not anorexic whatever way you slice it. She's morbidly obese with serious food and body issues. She does need therapy.

When exactly did she lose 100 lbs? Since being in the spotlight (the last decade) she has only gained weight.

I don’t know anything about this woman. Was she abused as a child and thus has all these body image, eating disorder issues? She seems like she is crying for attention.

I remember Emme. The contrast is staggering. Emme is a beautiful woman with a model look, just larger than the standard print and runway model. She looks normal, plus the height and facial symmetry that move products.

Tess has a gorgeous face and a wreck of a body, IDC. She represents feeder subcults, influencer culture and psychological damage. It’s lamentable that she’s a public figure. Not sorry to say it.

Emme was at the forefront yes and she was pro fitness at any size, she was and looks like she valued healthy eating, she biked, dressed impeccably, talked about psychological issues, etc. And she looked like what, maybe a size 16? She was I think just much healthier on all levels and this was also pre instagram obviously.

Obese people tend to binge on food and then go on extreme diets. I think that is fundamentally different from an anorexic who has issues with perfectionism. Just throwing that out there, American Psychology Association. For free.

Actually, you can. Imagine eating an extra slice of pizza or dessert every day— so 500 calories more than your body needs to maintain the same weight. It’s not binging, but it adds up over time. On top of that, many people who lose substantial amounts of weight need fewer calories to maintain that weight vs someone of the same weight who has never lost substantial weight. So, as an example, a formerly obese person might maintain a weight of 1XX pounds on 1200 calories while someone who has never been obese might maintain the same weight on, say 1600 calories. So the formerly obese person can regain weight very quickly on what objectively might be a fairly standard diet, or even on a relatively restricted diet.

If you look at a calorie calculator, a woman of her height and weight requires at least 1000 more calories per day than a woman of her height with a BMI in the healthy range. You just cannot maintain 350+ pounds on 1600 calories per day. In fact, she could consume around 2500 calories per day and lose 1/2 pound per week. A woman of her size may never be a size 4, but she could easily lose 100 pounds and maintain it without extreme dieting.

It really isn’t as simple as calories-in-calories out, especially if you’ve lost significant amounts of weight before. This is even more true if you’ve lost significant amounts of weight more than once. For many, their body will react as though it’s starving — even when they’re obese.
“Extreme” dieting is your term, not mine. I’m simply pointing out that it’s not that simple, and that strategies that work for people who want to lose 10 or 20 pounds are, for many, not the same strategies that work for people who need to lose and maintain much larger amounts of weight.
