i’m currently in the process of gaining weight too, i’ve found people can be pretty judgemental if i talk openly about it, but i know this is what’s healthy for me. let’s all agree to listen to what our bodies need this year ❤
This is exactly what I need now. One week ago I visited the doctor and found out that I have body exhaustion and lack of weight. The reasons of this are my anxiety, permanent stress and active workouts. So smoothly I lost my appetite. And I haven't had the appetite for a month, I had nausea. I started take antidepressants two weeks ago so my mental health and appetite are much better now! But in this moment I trying to recover from exhaustion. I take droppers and pricks for supporting my body. I believe that everything will be fine! Send love for everyone who need it!
Helen, your videos are like a hug from a long distance friend. 🤗 My anxiety, depression self esteem is always up and down and it's exhausting, so when I see that you've uploaded it makes me happy. Your channel and you as a person is so comforting and wholesome. What a beautiful human being you are. Please never change.
wow reading the title made me feel so much less alone, it’s wild, i didn’t expect that at all. i’m currently trying to gain weight, too, but i don’t really talk about it with anyone. ♡ thank you for sharing your life with us!!
I also lost weight last year from lifestyle changes not ED (thankfully recovered). I want to gain weight this year but from your raw conversation, I now want to gain energy, happiness & strength 💜😊 thank you Helena
Helena i just want to say i admire your personal growth so much. You dont give up and keep living life but at the same time talk openly about the struggles with depression. You're just a very warm safe person and im rlly proud of u and i learn a lot from you (ive been watching for about 3 years haha)
I am trying to gain weight too, after years of dieting, and ed, I am tired of restricting. My physical and mental health both are deteriorating because of my restrictions, this year I want to ditch the diet culture that preaches thinness and instead work towards being a healthy individual.
I haven't watched your videos in a wee while and I know you can't always judge but you seem so much happier and confident and it makes me so happy to see!
loved the way you talked about this, am trying to gain weight (&life!) in recovery as a vegan right now and new year defo makes it hard! anyway ur vids always make me smile 🥰🥰
Just remember folks, you can do at home workouts that are even more effective than going to a gym. You don't need much either. Like I just rigged a hip thrust bar, aka weight sacks hanging off of straps across my hips, weight to do squats, ankle weights, yoga mat, etc. etc. you don't need much at all. even a 25 lb bag of whatever food or things you have in a duffle bag will do. I've used duffle bags too for lower body day. Check out Koboko fitness, Blogilates, Matfit, etc. for great videos. I personally don't gain motivation from others because I love working out but I know some folk need an instructor or to be around others. However that does require more time to commute etc so if you're wanting to get started think about at home workouts. they can be easier to start due to not needing a car/bus/bike etc and again, no commute.
your channel randomly popped up on my recommended and I was already subscribed to it tho I don't remember you, but watching you feels like watching the "old" youtube, its so nice and genuine, I'll definitely come back (this time for real :P)
Hi Helena new ish subscriber here. I really enjoy your content just trying to catch up after the busyness of Christmas on all the videos. I just wanted to say that your title inspired me last year I had a illness where all the nutrients I had wasn’t going anywhere so all the weight lifting and large amounts of protein I was eating didn’t do anything. But thankfully after a year I got a resolve. So this year my goal is to gain weight in muscle mass even if it might be scary and not be constantly tracking my calories. Cheers to new beginnings 🫶🫡
In response to you last question, i don’t really care what the video is about. I’m going to watch it no matter what and it’s always going to be comforting to watch because you’re in it ❤
Yessss Helena, let's ditch diet culture forever and live life to the fullest this year!! I seriously love your videos and I feel like I'm always on the same page as you girl!! Woohoo for gaining weight and eating what we want 😋👍🎊🎊Sending tons of love and big hugs from LA! xoxo 🥰👍🎉❤💕💕
I really want to get stronger again to. Last year was very stressful with writing my thesis and moving and all. And I just want to gain some strength back and ya know hike up some mountains
@@emlawrence226 I’ve honestly done so many things I hated to my hair but I’m glad I tried them and after a few months it grew back into something I’m comfortable with. It’s just now I know I’ll never do what I did to my hair ever again 😂 But on the flip side there are hairstyles I absolutely loved that I go back to every now and then. So unless you absolutely damage the heck out of your hair it’ll grow back to the way it once was 💖
@@Spoopybat ah you’re so right!! I’ve legit had the same hair for years… I’ve wanted a fringe for years, I might just do it. Not sure why it’s so scary for me 🤣🤣 I even work from home now!! Thanks Kodi 🥰🙌
I'm also on a weight gain journey! Been on it for 2 years but so far haven't got anywhere 😩 I am healthy and all I guess it is metabolism :( people think I have an ED but I don't I have breakfast a snack then lunch another snack then dinner 🙈 wish people would mind their own damn business 😅 my Dr isn't concerned also lol
