Me personally, I started losing the most weight after reading the book Woman’s weight loss secrets: the unspoken truth, a few things you are mentioning in this video are also in the book
Romans 8:38-39 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm-neither hot nor cold-I am about to spit you out of my mouth. You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see. (Revelation 3:15-18) you cannot live for this world and not try to stop sinning (being cold) and only believing in God(hot) without turning from sin or sinning and saying God will forgive you after or not read the Bible, pray, worship/obeying God. Which is being a lukewarm. If we are neither cold or hot, God will spit us out his mouth. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

not being confident is probably the worst feeling ever. looking in the mirror, no matter what you wear nothing makes you look good😭 hitting that plateau IS THE WORST & sooo unmotivating😭🥺
Omg yes! I hated being in that mindset where no matter what I wore I didn’t feel even decently pretty because of how unhealthy I felt inside 😭 yes!! It’s so discouraging! 😩
- commitment and patience - moderation with food(healthy relationship with food) - weight yourself once a week but don’t get obsessed with it - eat breakfast to not have a big lunch and dinner. It’s also quite important - breakfast: full - lunch: healthy food - dinner: lightest meal of the day - in the begging she did cardio and fat burn workout - waterrrrrr - cute workout clothes to motivate to workout - supportive bra - no equipment in the begging but she bought dumbbells, ankle weights, resistance bands and yoga mats - music
It’s possible guys, I weighed 210lbs in January of 2024, and now almost 5 months later I weigh 162lbs in June 2024 my goal is 150lbs before August!🎉 (48lbs lost)
@@janessalopezzz thanks! right now I’m not done with my journey but I can tell my I have lose skin when I sit, but it’s not that noticeable even when I sit. But remember to never be ashamed! That’s proof of your success in your journey, of course there are ways to remove it but never feel forced to. Hope that helps! 🩷
@@RosiesArt28omg thank you so much for replying, it means a lot! i was really nervous about that stuff so i'll try to find ways to prevent it as much as possible but you're absolutely right, it's just a reminder of how far we've come which is beautiful!
Girl you got this! 💪🏽 there’s no better dedication than doing it for yourself. It’s crazy how you can actually notice a difference in so many things you never realize you experienced before. I used to have trouble falling asleep because I could feel my weight on myself & as I slowly started losing weight I could literally feel myself becoming less heavy & sleeping came a little easier for me. I believe in you girl 🥰 do what feels right for you!
Omg same I’m at 237 last week and a half I started at 243 I’ve been working out everyday eating clean & less. But I still get fatigued getting dressed or like you mentioned putting lotion on. It’s like a workout in itself. Man gaining weight is so easy but loosing it is pure hell until you put that dress or jeans on and notice a little difference then that right there will be motivation!!! That sets me off to go hard because I’m actually seeing results. Edit* down to 229! And I’m on a roll🧡
Omg yes! I always tell ppl that it's hard to touch my toes without becoming short of breath. I'm 220 and 5'5... but last year before social distancing, I was 165 😭
@@Kiara-ut2oo are you me? Same exact measurements. I actually got up to 249 but I started keto and workout in February. I lost 30 pounds that month and stopped, then I restarted this month and I’m down to 213 today!! I’m so happy.
@@11212barbie you need to be eating carbs for the energy!! trust me :) as long as you’re in a caloric deficit you’ll lose weight!! good job on the progress tho!!
Just remember that ice doesn’t melt until the temperature hits 32 degrees F. Weight loss is like being an ice block at 25 degrees F. You may not see the visible work from 25-31 degrees, but that work is necessary to get you to 32 degrees when the changes really happen.
Yes! being addicted to junk food is a REAL thing. People always think its as simple as just not eating the junk food. Sugar is addicting, and junk is very addicting. It takes time, but it doable to cut it out :)
when she talked about eating a whole box of pizza, it really got me alert because I USED TO DO THAT AND NOT THINK ANYTHING OF IT! i’m 60 pounds down and i can’t eat more than like 3 slices. i would order like 20 wings and eat it by myself. this is such an unhealthy relationship with food
ive seen so many videos on youtube about these skinny girls loosing pounds, but they looked like they were already skinny enough, not to be harmful at all, but it feels so good to see someone in my weight range do this, it really just makes me want to cry happy tears knowing that someone like me could do the same regardless of being extremely skinny or extremely fat and that it is in fact very possible.
Yes remember it’s you against that extra fat! Push you’re to push them out, don’t forget you’re beat full, we just have extra fat and for me it got the point where I was like 😟 stopppp you’re getting too much now. Running everyday for a little is something, even going on a walk. Make it fun and go with someone, the world is beautiful, I love walking and exploring now😭😊
Congratulations on your weight loss journey! And I want to congratulate anyone who's starting because that alone is a lot. One of the biggest advice I could give to someone who wants to lose weight is to be ambitious but not TOO overly ambitious when you first start. Be realistic with yourself. If you are rarely active, don't set yourself up to run 3 miles a day or go to the gym everyday to do hardcore workouts. You will just mentally and physically exhaust yourself and you'll hate all the pain you're feeling and that may even stop you from pursuing a healthy life style. Instead, take walks! Try to aim for 5,000 steps a day then increase to 10,000. Eventually you'll slowly build up your stamina and then you can start jogging/running when you feel ready. Don't cut out all sugary/junk food immediately too because your body (and mind) will experience shock. Instead, slowly ease out of it and decrease your size and intakes. PLEASE don't immediately jump to eating salads or all the healthy food we see everybody eat when they wanna lose weight. That's something you can also ease into later. Just count your calories instead! As someone who was overweight, struggled years of trying to lose weight, and was very physically inactive, this advice of being ambitious but realistic helped a lot!
PREACH!!! 👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽 easing into a weightloss journey is the best motto to go by! Quitting everything cold Turkey will only make you cave sooner & pushing yourself to do more than your body can handle will not go well either. You said it all so perfectly ❤️ thank you so much for sharing your advice with everyone 🙌🏽
A million percent agree. I lost so much and I’m close to my dream body but not there yet and not completely in love yet but loving the progress. Went from 250 to 180. Trying to lose 10 more lbs along with toning up
Amazing video, I gained 50lbs over lockdown, started my journey 3 weeks ago and am down 3.8lbs :) Hope to lose at least another 36.2lbs ! UPDATE: I AM DOWN 17lbs now :)
@@jenthealien8888 That’s actually really good. If you’re a woman (I’m assuming you are) then we tend to retain a lot of fat, so 1 to 2 lbs every week is normal.
the number on the scale is probably our worst enemy tbh. sometimes your clothes fits looser and the number doesn’t go down.😭 yes i agree weighing yourself once a week or twice a month is so much better than doing it every single day.
the number isn’t really important, get a scale that calculates body fat percentage and muscle mass! game changer for sure! remember that fat weighs more than muscle!!
fr. i used to do it every day and yes i did lose 10 lbs but i never exercised again since that month, i just remember i was so depressed and obsessive about my weight that i stopped caring again for 2 years lol. tomorrow is another day
The scale number is not nearly as scary as the cholesterol number, the blood sugar number, the blood pressure number, and (in my case) the kidney number. I had high cholesterol, was pre-diabetic, and had an EGFR of 59.1. Now I have normal blood sugar, normal cholesterol and an EGFR of 84. I am sure most of you haven't even thought about your kidneys or possibly livers when it comes to weight. These things are likely not a concern must at all until you hit your 30s (maybe I'm wrong on that and it can hit earlier) but it happens from decades of bad life style choices. The scale is just the most easily tracked indication that your health is at risk. Amazon has glucometers for $25-30. If your blood sugar readings indicate prediabetes, you are already doing organ damage. Your doc might not even tell you until your diabetic. Over 80 percent of those with prediabetes don't even know they have it. Anyway, there are far worse number enemies out there I actually hate to say.
Im 5’5 and was 258lbs in April, today I am 232lbs. I love feeling healthier in general. I go rock climbing, jog/walk, weight lifting, and floor exercises. I also cut out all fast food/junk food and learned how to cook. Getting more protein in, drinking water, and taking vitamins:) super important. It’s just hard cuz I can’t see a difference in myself but I see myself everyday and I’ve lost some inches it’s just I can’t see it. So I’m very hard on myself.
I felt this! I am also so hard on myself. I say i don’t “see it” but when I look at videos from a year ago, I don’t compare videos to what I look like now- but I see it. Just seeing how my face looks now versus last year. The problem is that we get in our heads a lot but best believe, if you’re putting in the work, deep down you see it. Sending lots of positive vibes! It’s not easy but so worth it! ♥️
My heaviest was 230 i lost 30lbs and ended up gaining back 5lbs and have hit a plateau for a while now. Its really discouraging. Congratulations on your weight loss
This is the part that is always challenging & discouraging 😭 but we gotta keep pushing through & remember that weight doesn’t always matter 🥺 because you might be losing inches instead of pounds & as long as you feel good & healthy that’s what matters 💖
Your dependence on hot Cheetos was how dependent I was on processed sugar foods, candy, chocolate, energy drinks, and the same thing happened to me. The moment I gave those things up I started having outbursts and I kept crying and just even having negative thoughts as I walked into the gym. I never realized I used sugar as a coping mechanism to not feel certain things or think certain things. This was a great video! Keep up the great work!
an entire box of pizza, plus a big af bag of hot Cheetos, plus dessert. sounds like something i do. this is the reality of binge eaters. Thank you for sharing. I'm starting my weight loss journey so it's comforting to see and listen to someone who's been where I'm at.
I used this motivation. I watched this video when I first started my weight loss journey, I have officially went from 178 to 143 (both morning weigh ins) in a few months :) my results came kinda fast but I'm at a plateau. I'm gonna use this for motivation tysm
GURLLLLLLL YESSSS 👏🏽👏🏽🥳😍 YOU DID THAT!! 💖💖 I’m so happy for you & honored I could play a part in it 🥺 keep going🙌🏽 plateaus are always a struggle but you can get through it 😁 I’m currently trying jump rope as a workout 😉 thank you so much for taking the time to watch 🥰
@@CrystalValenzuela I'm definitely gonna keep pushing! I don't want to look back on this moment and regret not going forward. I've heard jump roping is great good luck with that!
the thing that’s so confusing about weight loss is that sometimes you lose inches off your body but your weight stays the same! but please don’t be discouraged that’s why it’s good to always take measurements and pictures because it makes u feel better seeing progress!
i recently started my journey, i started at 213 and i’m down to 203 🤠 this week has been rough and i’ve been close to quitting, but this has just motivated me and made me feel like the feelings i’m going through are valid
RU-vid is definitely telling me something with this recommendation because you had me in the first minute!! Everything you were saying is so accurate. I was the exact same before and during my weight loss journey. 40 lbs down and still going
CONGRATULATIONS!!! 🥳🥳 40lbs down is awesome!!! Nothing better than the feeling of seeing & feeling your hard work pay off 🙌🏽 so proud of you! 👏🏽👏🏽 thank you so much for watching! 🥺💖
I love how you did all your workouts from home and you didn’t mention getting a gym membership! I literally have 2 gym memberships and I don’t even go to one 😭😭 I need to start working out from home lol and by some equipment!
Yess!! I honestly tried gyms & they’re not for me. I just waste my money & never end up going either 🤣 you can buy equipment for yourself at home & save the money from the gyms 🙌🏽

Yes it’s about wanting to live and not die 😭 I was almost 200 pounds with my body hurting bones hurting always tired. I was killing myself with binge eating. Started hiking a lot and dropped so much weight I’m at 154 now and love hiking. I eat smaller meals drink so much water. Also starting to weight lift since you drop a lot of weight with weight lifting and toning your body. If I can do it so can you. Motivate yourself by wanting to live and not die. ❤️🙏🏼🏋🏻♀️
Loved how you explained the healthy relationship with food 🙌🏻. You still ate the foods you loved- just in moderation. You explained such a realistic way to handle food. A lot of peoples will say oh you can’t eat that or can’t eat this 😒. And that’s where people find themselves going back to old eating habits because of the ‘pressure’.
Girl when you said it's you showing up for youself everyday I FELT that. Because it is the truth, it is so difficult some days but honestly they way that you feel about yourself regardless of the physical changes you start to love yourself because of the hard things you force yourself to do. You find your strength, self-love and confidence within this journey 💖
Amazing job on your weight loss!!! I'm currently going through my journey, I'm 50 pounds down and I have another 50 to go but I'm definitely getting there. I find it's definitely helping me more that I'm posting my journey here on RU-vid and I have other people helping and motivating me to work harder and that I'm not alone in this.
I peaked at 252 back in 2023. After 13 months of work, commitment, and a lot of changes, I’m down to 184-ish today. Everyone’s weight loss is different! Mine was spurred on by working hot days in the oilfield, huge deficits, and diet changes. To the person reading this, I absolutely believe in you. You’re stronger than you know! Keep fighting the good fight!
I love your motto “show up for yourself” because at the end of the day all your hard work is to help yourself out. It also gives you a sense of accountability. Great job on your weight lose👏☺️
all in moderation yes !! being too strict with yourself can be so damaging to your mental health, having a healthy & balanced relationship with food is a constant journey but so worth it !
Weight loss for me has been one of my biggest goals for as long as I can remember. I remember doing a lot of diets and working out and for some reason the moment someone mentioned I started looking thinner, I would fall out and gain the same or more weight,. I never knew why until I watched your video. My confidence in my teenage years was almost non-existent, no matter how many compliments I would get I would feel like the biggest thing ever. I have seen many videos about how people lost weight fast, what to eat, how to workout, etc. but felt like nothing worked. I took a long break on my weight loss journey and as I watched your video I realized it's really a mental thing, just as it is physical. This video made me realize so many things and reminded me that I am not alone. This is really helpful and helped me get my confidence up to go for it again. Thank you for sharing your story ❣
I have been on my weight loss journey for almost 4 years now, and I am stuck at this point. I watched this for motivation, and it reminded me of the times from the beginning of my journey when I was very motivated. I am very happy to see that I have almost every piece of equipment on the list :))))
i’m 5’5 1/2, 215 , 17 y/o . i’ve always been the biggest and it’s always been an insecurity because family never failed to point it out but coming to God made me want to bring my body into subjection and respect it 🦋! hopefully my mind changes and it becomes for the right reason💕!
Omg I just started following Body Project videos about two weeks ago & I love it!!! I’m 5”0 & was at my heaviest, 186 in May. Idk how much I weighed a few weeks ago but I am at about 180 (181-182 thanks to my period). I definitely love myself so I know I deserve a better healthier lifestyle. Thank you for sharing your journey, this motivates me even more 💕
OK first off huge congratulations, that is such a big milestone to reach! I am so proud of you! I love that you shared everything that you’ve done from your personal experience! I have honestly made the mistake of weighing myself every single day whenever trying to lose weight, and they can be discouraging so my mom always told me to just weigh once a week as well!
"You showing up for yourself" are the greatest words spoken. Thank you for the inspiration because I've been in this place over and over. What has helped me to strive and press forward is knowing that I love myself and my family and I don't want to be selfish because of my unhealthy relationship with food. So I'm still pressing forward a step every day towards a healthy lifestyle and not just looking good. I want to feel good inside and out. I want to be able to do things with my grandchildren. I'm 45 years young and I want to live a full life without pain, sickness and feeling fatigued and so tired. Thank you again for sharing your journey because it's not easy and we will fall down. But getting back up makes it all the sweeter. So now I pray over my health and life to change for the better so I can walk in my purpose. I can't do that being unhealthy and tired. May God bless your journey and keep you grounded. I'm showing up for myself so I can show up for my family and Kingdom work!
Omg I loved your video. I usually get so bored but your voice was really soothing. It really helps rn I’m at 220 lbs I’m 5’3 and this is my heaviest. I been dealing with health problems a lot depression and anxiety. Thank you for sharing your journey. This is going to be my year!!!!! 2022
I'm currently at 212 lb the heaviest I've been. I have always had a bad body image even when I was 123 lb. But recently I've been feeling the effects of my weight in my knees, and noticed I stopped taking pictures of myself. I really want to start being healthier and more confident.
*Your weight loss journey is a testament to dedication and hard work. Thanks for sharing your story and motivating us to achieve our own health goals!*
I had no idea you struggled with loosing weight, this is very inspirational to everyone starting their weigh loss journey and the fact that you look and are doing much better is such a motivation!! 👏🏽
Thank you for telling how patience was so important to your weight loss. I feel like patience for myself making changes and patience for the timeline is what I need to make it work.
I’m on a weight loss journey right now and of course I needed to watch this after finding your channel. I have also tried so many times to lose weight, this was so relatable to me ! Love that you shared this, I need to be more consistent and stick with it for sure. Your transformation is awesome, very motivating.
So sorry it took me so long to respond but thank you so much for your sweet message!! 🥺💖 consistency is definitely the key & I know you can do it! The hardest part is always starting but once you get going you feel so good about it🙌🏽👏🏽

Thank you for being so vulnerable because all of us as humans, go through similar body struggles and learning how to just be confident and love our bodies that we've had been blessed with! Din things for the sake of overall health is always a better way to approach it rather than just losing and managing your intake to fit a certain "ideal' body type that we were taught was the most beautiful. Home workouts have become my fav during the second half of quarantine and now I do them to be strong!! Proud of you girl💛 You're going to inspire so many!!!
“There’s no secret” This is so true! My mum lost weight and people always asked her how. She wasn’t even trying to but she had a change in food! Well said
Girl, you are so articulate. I normally dislike watching videos of people talking because it just sounds like they are rambling but I really enjoyed your video! 😊
I relate to this so much and what you said is all so true. I literally teared up at the old clip of you saying we’re going to do this we’re going to make it this is our year. So proud of you for showing up for yourself it’s so beautiful to see.
I give you a lot of credit Crystal for saying what you would eat before you lost weight. I've watched a ton of RU-vidrs weight lost journeys and not many do that. Congrats! I been keto/carnivore for 3 months now, I am 6'0 and i was 310lbs now I'm 284lbs. I just start 2 meals a day 1 week ago and some days 1 meal a day. I used to live off of pizza, fast food, stk n chz, ice cream sundeas, and king size candy bars everyday.
Wow you explained everything so throughly and detailed, we are literally going through the same journey! Congratulations girl, I loved your story, you look so amazing!!!
Oh my word...I have never seen a weight loss video that actually is EXACTLY the same as my life!!! I am just now starting back but I have been raking with my eating and weight gain FOR YEARS. I have food addictions bad...and I would work out hard then sneak food immune room. Wow! Thank you so much doe this! I'm scared to try again but I HAVE to do this if I want to live! 💖
Thank you! I needed this! I weighed 187 after pregnancy, and just last week I started keto, and I bought an exercise bike. I lost 13lbs in 8 days. I feel a lot better so far, but my goal weight is 140-150. I just need to get rid of my chest.
Girl- Before you even said it ... I said in my mind SHE FIT. I saw the same ad and purchased and that bra is a game changer. I love the full adjustable set up with all the bands as I am losing weight.
That bra is EVERYTHING!! 🥺🙌🏽 really be coming thru on the fitness journeys. It’s the one ad I don’t mind that I got 🤣🤣 lol thank you so much for watching! 🥰
This is some solid advice 🥺 I’ve been working out on and off for a year now. I was just working out and not changing my diet.... biggest waste of time lol. You literally cannot out train a bad diet! I’m starting to focus more on my eating habits now & I’ve noticed such a change! Growing up in a Mexican household I was always told to finish everything on my plate. I would get in trouble if I didn’t.. so I’ve always had that mindset. Now I’m starting to understand that our bodies let us know when we are full and we should respect that. Respect ourselves enough to listen to our own bodies. I’ve been eating in moderation I think the final straw for me was one night I finished an entire plate of carne asada fries by myself ☹️ . I was drunk and I’m not gonna lie it did hit the spot LOL, butttt I just remember feeling disgusted w myself the next day. Before I would only have a couple bites and I would feel full. Now I’m cutting everything I used to be able to eat in half and honestly it’s working! I’m starting to feel satisfied & I don’t get as hungry as I used to. Drinking a lot of water has also been helping me. Thank you for your advice! Good luck to all of you watching & reading the comments 🤩 WE GOT THISSS!!
thank you so much for your video. I am 240 pounds, i gained 45 pounds in the last year. Today is the 4th day on my weight loss journey. I am fasting 20 hours a day and eating a large healthy meal after the 20 hours then i’m back to fasting. I drink a LOT of water and i started going to the gym 4 days ago as well. Exercising and dieting & hoping to see some progress within the next couple months!! CONSISTENCY is what i keep telling myself. I’ve never “completed” anything in my life. I always give up but i’m determined. i’m tired of being fat & not confident. These types of videos keep me motivated so i thank you ❤ i’m proud of you!! it’s not easy!
Thank you for sharing your story! It was so motivational and I’ll be implementing some of what you said in my personal weight loss journey. My goal is to be 138 Lbs on the dot and to see you reach that is so motivational. It’s such a random number but I’ve been fixated on that number because for someone who’s 5 feet 4 I feel like it’s a realistic goal. I feel like the the BMI chart is so unrealistic and unhealthy so I’m going based off of a weight I was most happy at which was 138. I’m currently 184 Lbs. I started my weight loss journey 10 days ago at 189 Lbs. Thanks again !
YESSSS I LOVE THAT!! Do what feels right for your body 🙌🏽🥺 the number on the scale is just a number it’s about how you feel physically & mentally. You can so do it! I believe in you! Whenever you have moments of doubt just remember how good you felt to see yourself make the progress you’ve already made 💪🏽✨
I think knowing the statistics on calroies in food and how much you need to burn a day to lose weight is what helped me. Being in the dark and just trying to do what people say is good for me never helped me. My fitness pal and Fitbit have definitely helped me in so many ways in learning what to eat, what not to eat, how much I need to exercise a day, etc. Another thing I don’t think people ever think about is drinking water. Drink half of your body weight in ounces everyday and you’ll already start to lose weight from that alone. I’m down 14 pounds from my original weight currently so I’m still in the beginning of my journey but so far just understanding the numbers had helped me understand what I need to do and motivated me.
Finally someone who has the same body type and even looks like me! I need to lose at least 80 - 60 lbs! My health is at an all time low. Thank you for your story and for the inspiration

yesss having a small dinner or even no dinner at all is such a game changer & gives your body enough time to digest your food properly, although we be going to sleep hungry .. 🤣
thank you for this video ❤️ yesterday at 3 am I was so motivated to start eating healthier and exercising (as one does) but when I woke up today I had pastries for breakfast and I felt bad, like I couldn't stick to my goals and I was weak. hearing you say you were addicted to some foods and you couldn't just cut them out made me feel understood and I realize I'll have to allow myself some of my favorite fast foods because I'm used to eating them all the time now and it's a complex and delicate journey. I hope I can change and be more comfortable in my own skin, you definitely inspired me ❣️
I am 19 and got pregnant and had an abortion in December, it emotionally wrecked me and I gained 20 pounds hitting 240 now I’m 230 but I am trying to finally get to a better place physically and mentally, I loved your video thank you sm for sharing your story and motivating me
I have to say that you need to give yourself some grace. Focus on the positive things that you are able to do, ie...continuing your education or getting a decent job and starting an emergency fund so that you are in a better place financially 1 year or 3 years from now. Love yourself, be good to yourself and know that you are enough! ❤💃 You got this!
I’m so glad I came across this video! I’ve been searching and searching for a quick fix but you’re so right. Today is the day. I’m done feeling the way I’ve been feeling. ❤️❤️❤️
I want to congratulate you on your weight loss journey. STARTING is hard enough, but to put it on youtube for the WORLD to see? INSPIRING. I'm also documenting my journey on my channel & seeing this is MOTIVATING.
My breaking point was when I could barely get down to tie my shoes and was out of breath. I’m at 218lbs right now, my goal weight is 135. Which is how much I weighed before gaining relationship weight and gained weight in 2 pregnancies within 4 years
thank you for this video and for promoting having a healthy relationship with food. When I was deep in my eating disorder and food addiction I didn't think this was possible and the advice I got was to cut out any foods that I binged on. But all that did was keep me in fear and restriction. What I know now that I have gotten free from the eating disorder and food addiction is that it was never about the food, it was always about getting free from what was driving me to food in the first place and reconnecting with myself, my body and my own inner guidance. thanks for an inspiring video.
i lost 20 lbs in one month , and i’m at a plateau 😭 i was getting discouraged until i seen this video, i want to say thank you i started crying from your encouragement , i also have a unhealthy relationship with food , i’m a very picky eater so i can relate lol i hope i start to see progress as i continue. i’m not giving up , i’m like you this time i mean business 😂❤ again thanks . i’m gonna continue to always show up for myself and do like you say from now on 💗
I love how you explained the healthy relationship with food, I think you put it the best way possible, and definitely yes everything in moderation. Cute gym clothes is a very good motivator indeed! 🥰😄 You've come such a long way, I'm so happy to see you happier and healthier! 💕
Here are 10 tips that have helped me; 1. Have old photos around you which show you at your ideal weight look at them daily. 2. Get yourself a Fitbit or another watch that keeps track of your weight in an app and a place where you can record all the food you eat daily. Counting my calorie has been key. It may sound tedious but this is a step that had helped me greatly. 3. Get into a calorie deficit also. You can eat the food that you want just as a small portion or work it into your calories. 4. Work out your weight and how much you want to release. You can use my Fitness Pal which tells you how many calories you should be eating to reach your goal. 5. It is 80% of what you eat and 20% exercise. You can train all you like if you eat crap you wont release weight. 6. Celebrate small milestones along the journey. 7. Watch videos on youtube of those on a weight release journey to stay focused. 8. At a time like this eat foods that will build up your immune system you only have one body look after it. 9. Keep a record of your journey document your weight release from start to finish. Take photos as well sometimes you see the difference within photos then on the scale. 10.Keep on going you have got this take it one day at a time to avoid becoming overwhelmed.
I also just want to put this out there for ladies as well. As someone who has been on a specific diet due to my chronic illnesses of Crohn’s and celiac I thought I’d stay at a healthy weight, I was definitely wrong! As it turned out after finally getting a OB/GYN I love and trust she informed me I’ve been gaining weight due to hormonal imbalance. I was put on the depo shot to “help” my endometriosis accompanied by my IUD and since I’ve gained over 40+lbs. You can do all the right things and still gain weight if your hormones or other bodily organs are not working properly. I just recently opted to get off of depo and start pelvic floor therapy instead and so far it has changed my life! For my women out there don’t be afraid to go seek a doctors help if you’re struggling. Women are more likely to experience weight gain due to hormones, thyroid problems, and other health problems but are less likely to reach out to a doctor. I know not all doctors listen which is a stigma especially with women in the health care setting but don’t give up in finding the right doctor for you!
I’m gonna start my journey today So I’m gonna keep coming back to this to motivate myself. (Also please interact with this comment I don’t really have a support system rn and I need the cheering on ) Today is June 20 2022. I’m at 206 lbs
Girl yes! You are goals! All your self love was your motivation. I’m trying to cut off junk food in moderation like you said. It’s the working out part I keep getting lazy about. I need that healthy diet you have. You speak nothing but the truth. Thank you for this video ❤️
