I want to be strong again | my time in Osaka, Japan 

Enjoying my time in Osaka whilst feeling slightly vulnerable and out of my comfort zone as I share what’s on my mind with you. Thank you for making this a place for me to open up ❤️

One thing I had to understand when I needed to regain a lot of strength & weight was that I can’t rely on my hunger. Since my hunger got me to that point, I can’t really just not eat cause I’m not really feeling it. I had to set a structured routine to really eat 5-6 meals a day even if I didn’t feel like it! Maybe it was late at night & I’m full from dinner but I know that it’s not enough so I try to grab for some nuts or avocado or something cause going after my hunger cues rn isn’t what’s actually right. It’s really hard but still really important. And once I ate more my hunger cues changed and definitely got “more right” which kept me at a healthy steady weight/strength level instead :) I hope you’re enjoying your time in Japan 🩷🩷🩷

I love the transparency and vulnerability you share with your audience, It truly shows how genuine of a person you are. I find your videos simple and sweet because they are easily relatable regardless of a viewers background or where they come from. You provide such a seamless human to human connection by just being yourself and that will always win. Happy to see the radical acceptance and i look forward to seeing more of your "get strong/run strong" journey! *and food critique.

loved this vlog sm !! such a unique vibe

highlight of every sunday!

you’re amazing, thank you for creating such a safe space here ❤

So proud of you 💕🦋

You can do this, we believe in you!!!

Love you katha❤ your videos and your personality always comfort me. Please keep pursuing your goals and being happy no matter the negative and rude comments, you have a tons of people that support you and want to see you thrive

Proud of you for being real, you can do it 💪💛

Don’t be disappointed in yourself. You’re doing a great job! You are aware of your needs and that’s an important skill. Keep doing your best and be kind to yourself ❤

Appreciate your vulnerability, I’d imagine there is a bit of a learning curve with incorporating strength training and marathon training. The great thing is you are self aware and are using constructive feedback in a positive way. Keep having fun in Japan in the mean time.

you are so strong

❤❤❤

Hi Katharina ❤

You should try those egg thingies they make and put on sticks. The stuff they roll A BUNCH of times around itself till it's a small long roll, and then put a stick into it. Can't remember the name of it, but it's very popular among street food shops! EDIT: It's called Tamagoyaki ! :D

What helped me to balance my weight goals, running and weight lifting was to consult a sports dietitian. I highly recommend! ;) What I thought before was "healthy eating" is sometimes not the most appropriate when doing a lot of (endurance) sports. Maybe this helps and makes you consider this option as well :)

Welcome to Osaka, the capital of Japan

Thank you for the video! I'm curious to know if you speak any Japanese/are learning the language?

I'll keep being jealous of you being there, and just have to go with the experience from watching the videos, trying to think I'm there too 😂

I think those are bonito flakes, not tempura. Bonito flakes are fermented skip jack tuna.

You haven't lost strength. You just lost weight that you need to gain back. Idk how you get your period running so much and being underweight. You have done it before so you can do it again.

🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Ayy you better take off shrimp’s tale.

hold da op i propper meget soya på :-O :-D

I don't know about table manners in your country, but in Japan, it's good manners to hold a plate while eating. If you eat katsudon, hold the bowl in your palm while eating.

Nothing is in English!! I've heard even in Tokyo the street signs are all in Japanese, crazy -- how do tourists get around? That alone is a reason I don't want to go to Japan, I won't buy food that I can't read what it is or the price.

The picture is good, but the music is causing feedback. You should fix that.

It's going to be salty if you put too much soy sauce😊

醤油が多すぎるぞー

Please choose a more traditional restaurant, your choice is a restaurant chosen by poor people. It's the worst sushi in Japan lol😅
