I remember when the video came out that some people were saying TLC was advocating plastic surgery, etc. I was like, "Did you even *listen* to the song?" The last thing they were doing was encouraging cosmetic surgery or changing yourself for a guy. They were saying the exact, complete opposite.

FWIW I think there is a place for cosmetic surgery! Breast implants for women who survived Breast Cancer for instance. "nose jobs" can sometimes be done to help people with restricted breathing from trauma for instance. that said "my boyfriend wants me to have bigger boobies" aint it. if YOU want them, then its your decision, BUT its something that should be thought about, studied, prayed over, whatever your thing is beforehand.

@@mikeholton9876 I absolutely agree. If someone wants cosmetic surgery to correct a health issue or just because, "Dammit, I want a smaller nose or bigger boobs!", then there is no shame in that game. I just think a lot of people, especially women (but men too), go that route because either 1) a significant other pushes them to do it or, 2) pressures from society's expectation of beauty pushes them to it. When those things happen, it sucks because the surgery probably isn't going to make them feel any better about themselves. In fact, probably the opposite.

@@ness1860 you're likely right, and this was what spurred the video to cover that. (and I agree with their message 100%) the video speaks to peer pressure heavily in a couple of ways, which is part of its importance, and the people that came out trying to diss TLC about cosmetic surgery did so for the wrong reasons. if you asked them today they would likely tell you it was more about standing up for yourself than bending to the whims and bullying of others. I just wanted to point out that there are cases where these surgeries can be life changing in a good way if they are actually appropriate for the patient.

I remember watching this video in 1999 when I was the tender age of 14. Passing by , my father saw the video playing in our living room and watched it. When the part with the girl eating the chocolate cake and hiding it under her bed came up I’ll never forget what he said... “ Well...stop eating! And then you won’t be FAT!” It CRUSHED me. This song made me cry so much as a young girl, but now as a grown woman I’m so grateful I never went under the knife . Despite the fact I looked more like my fathers side of the family . In the end this tomboy of a 5 ft 9in girl at 14 turned out to be a beautiful strong woman without her fathers approval. THANK YOU TLC for teaching me self love at an early age❤️❤️❤️

2 decades later and this is STILL a hugely important song! TLC (I think anyway) opened up some serious topics. Cristina Aguilera had a song "I am Beautiful" I think is the title, that was equally as powerful. anthems of "self worth" that not only empower those who have been afraid to open up about issues like their gender, sexuality, self image, addiction and a myriad of other topics while (and this is just as important) opening the eyes of people around these people to accept them for who they are. There's still a lot for society to work out, but these songs and the artists being powerful in the delivery both in lyrics and video really gave a big push that I think has made it that much easier for folks today both in being open personally as well as folks being more accepting. Great pick Billy!

Everyone should feel beautiful in their own skin and their size. A specific weight or body type shouldn’t be what everyone thinks is beautiful. Yes, we should do our part to be more healthy, but that doesn’t mean you have to be skinny. If you have to resort to anorexia or bulimia to be what society believes is “pretty”, then you are not being true to your natural body type and loving yourself. You have to love your own features as they are, but if a person wants to have plastic surgery then it needs to be for them and not for a boyfriend or girlfriend or to fit into what society says is “beautiful.” In the uncut video, the young girl/woman was having her implants removed and they showed it and that’s why Chilli ran out. Chilli didn’t want implants, but was going to get them because her boyfriend felt she’d be more attractive to him if she did.

I like that this song is showing young girls and women you don’t have to have all this plastic surgery to be the most beautiful woman on the planet just be yourself. I have dated women in the past that some people would consider definitely not a good looking girl but to me they were beautiful and I did not care what anybody else thought because for me it’s more about what’s on the inside than it is on the outside but I will admit that sometimes looks or a good thing too but I would rather date a girl who is not the best looking but has an amazing personality than a hot chick that is just downright rude and cruel and has zero personality whatsoever

This video always makes me cry. I grew up in Orange County California and there were girls at my high school getting fake boobs put in at 16. 16!!! Like, you’re not even done developing yet, slow down! But so many of the moms had them it was something that was normalized. I was skinny(even though I ate a lot, I was just a bony little thing and I hated it), frizzy-haired and darker skinned than most of the Barbie-looking girls at my school and had a ton of insecurities as a young teen. I heard this song on TRL(I know you know what I’m talking about Billy cuz you’re old like me😂) when I was 13 or 14 and it resonated soooo much with me. It seriously gave me more confidence to be happy with myself and not give a shit about anyone who tried to make me feel like I wasn’t enough because of the way I looked. Thank you, TLC!! I have two little daughters now and will definitely be introducing them to this song when they’re older and going into that phase. Thankfully they’re still young enough that they don’t care too much about their looks but my husband and I tell them all the time how brilliant, strong, beautiful, kind, and amazing they are. Thank you for your reaction to this fantastic song, Billy!! You’re beautiful too and we love your baby face!! ❤️

I agree with you on getting therapy if you're truly unhappy with yourself - things like Body Dysmorphia can be horrific without help, some people are also stuck at the body weight they are through no fault of their own, so no amount of dieting or exercise will change that. Obviously it can help it not get more out of control, but various reasons (most often relating to disability or disease) mean anything else is unobtainable. That's why the body positive movement likes to try and shift the negativity off of the word Fat; Fat and beautiful aren't two ends of the spectrum, and healthy can look completely different for different people. However the bar for treating people nicely shouldn't be if they are healthy or not (not saying that's what you do, just that the "as long as they're healthy" mantra people often use isn't always the best either) because, as previously stated, sometimes ill health comes before the weight gain (as much as Doctors like to ignore that fact). Sorry for the long comment, but as someone with Body Dysmorphia and Disordered Eating that often goes into Eating Disorder territory it's something I have to think about a lot
