Social media stars and bff’s Tyler Oakley and Zoe Sugg (aka Zoella!) share their lives all the time to adoring (& I’m sure hating) teen fans around the globe on YouTube. This month they cover Seventeen and Tyler talks here about body image and his eating disorder;
“With videos, meet and greets, and a million pictures a day, it’s definitely a thing that I think about. It’s not about clothes fitting. It’s not about feeling chubbier than normal. I’d beat myself up over a day that I’m not active. If I’m lazy, then I feel grody.
Talking about it is really hard because it’s something I suppress and work through every day. And I haven’t really talked about body image in videos. I assume when people read this, they’ll be like, ‘Oh, you’re not fat.’ That’s not what it’s about at all. Even when I was the skinniest I’d ever been, I was still not happy.”
Read all about both their journeys and their friendship in the October issue of Seventeen here.
