Me too! Sophie was the very first person I subscribed to, also in 2017. Sophie, your presence on RU-vid has helped me through ups and many downs in the years since, thank you ❤
When my daughter was little we had two rabbits; two cats and one pom baby boy. They all played together in our tiny home. Loosing each animal over the years was awful because they all enjoyed each other so much. My daughter is now a mom and they have a cat and a dog but they haven’t gotten a rabbit yet but God stepped in and a wild or loose bunny now lives in their backyard! My daughter is so pleased 🩷
Dear Sophie- I completely understand you. I have a guinea pig and I know how complicated it can be to take care of them and the attachment we develop is nothing different to that of owning a cat or a dog. I sincerely feel for your losses. It was hard to watch because I know how it feels to lose these tiny adorable pets. Sending you a big hug.
So glad to see that things are getting better. I had a wakeup call regarding my weight last year and have worked on it. 60 pounds later, I feel lighter and more motivated. Its a work in progress as my body is adjusting hormonally to this thinner body, but I still feel its all been worth the had work. I hope 2024 brings new experiences and new sources of joy for you and all that reads this comment!
I'm really glad to hear that things are looking up for you this year :) Dealing with my eating disorder for the past 16 years has been tough, so I think it's super helpful to hear about your experiences with exercise and diet. God bless!
It really is….Our cats died when they were 16 and 18 years old. We had them since they were kittens (they were from one nest), and when the 18 year old died, it felt like our family was incomplete. 😢 We missed their presence so much, that we got two kittens again. I never thought I would feel so much love for them again, after losing our senior cats. 💞
I am so sorry about your rabbits! I do animal rescue and have 7 of my own dogs and 1 cat! These babies are so important to me!I am praying that another bunny comes into your life soon! Thanks for talking about your past eating disorder. It helps us all to know we are not alone.
Sophie, you are such a lovely person. Love your videos about anything and everything. I especially loved when you mentioned how much you loved to see David when he picked you up after skiing. I love LOVE
Hello lovely Sylvia! 🙌 A very happy Friday to you 🥰 can I just thank you so much for the love. It is so appreciated 🙏 ahh yes, I loved seeing David’s face when I walked into that arrivals hall! Hugs xx❤️
You’re right, people don’t understand adults having rabbits! My girl is nearly 6 years old and is very prone to stasis, We lost her sister to complications of stasis in 2021. The grief I had for her was unmeasurable! It took me years to get over her death. They are house rabbits and fully litter trained to, The little girl I still have is doing well, believe me when I say she’s the only reason I get out of bed in a morning, She takes all my wages in hay subscriptions, toys, treats, insurance, bills and phone cables replacement😂.
Sophie, I am so sorry for the heartbreaking losses you suffered in 2023. My deepest condolences, our pets fill our lives with so much love. You have every right to share your experiences, and having previous struggles does not invalidate your voice today. Sending you so much love, xoxoxo.
I love hearing that you’re doing better. I started working out again after 4 years and am feeling better as well. My. One density was going down so I knew I had to do something! 💗💗💗
@Sophieshohet My 10 year old bunny , my baby , who travelled to 26 countries was KILLED by the Spanish vet by holding her so tight , my bun screamed but the vet didnt let her go until she screamed 3x and tried to run to me and died half way. I was so crushed , I thought I am going crazy. I am not afraid to die anymore hoping she will be there waiting for me.
Well I am tickled that your year is going so good. We all deserve happiness and contentment in our lives. As for the weight issue-you talk about it all you want, we all should be able to speak freely about anything that concerns us w/out worrying what someone else thinks. ❤
Hi Sophie, it's nice to know that you're better now and feel better both physically and emotionally, unfortunately there're negative periods in life, the important thing is to be able to overcome them. I wish you a good continuation of the week 😘
Hello Sophie I hope you are doing all the things you love. I am sorry to hear about your rabbit? I think you answered your own question very quickly, the rabbit was only meant to be with you for a short period of time . If it was not well then it is probably in a better place now. Unfortunately we are now living in times where people are not what we think they should be. Ie loved ones should love us unconditionally yet that is not happening. So much death, desertion, deception and people bent on destroying or taking revenge on those they feel have put them in this position. Life has to go despite all its faults. Make a safe and secure environment for yourself and your husband. We can not be afraid of what is to come. We must solider on grasping the future that awaits us, inshala. Maybe I’ve gone a bit too deep but that is what I think and it gives me hope for a better understanding of what the future could hold. Talk good care of yourself.
I’m so sorry and saddened by the passing of your bunnies. TBH, my yellow lab passed 7 years ago and I’m still Upset. I recently had a major health scare and thankfully I am fine! Ugh! The weight! Mine fluctuates so much so I can totally relate to you! 2024 will be the year of Sophie!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
You 100% can and SHOULD speak about weight!!!! We ALL go thru things! I feel like it’s the same with perimenopause. I feel like it is such a “shameful” subject and it should NOT be! MOST women go thru it and it should be addressed!
Dear Sophie, it’s so lovely to hear you and David are doing well. You could see from your videos last year you were struggling and it’s so awful as you really feel for the person you’re watching as we’ve all been there. I’m so glad you wanted to shear this with us and I think it’s positive as it may help others to just remember the basics that the bad won’t last forever the storm will always pass. It’s lovey to see you happy and healthy xxx
No I remember you talking about being over weight , it made me feel better. I have lost over 100 pounds, like 140 pounds. Gained some back . Your correct weights and clean eating brings constant weight loss. Sorry for the Bunnies.
I had a Dwarf rabbit, her name was Kudy....she died couple of days after she turned 8 years old, just like that. We let her out in the garden cause she loved it, and after half of hour found her " sleeping " near our roses. I thought i would die of sorrow and so much crying. I totally fainted couple of years later when i opened a fridge in a supermarket and they had whole refrigerated rabbits. ...i felt sick. They are such lovely pets. So smart. I had her before my kids were born, she loved my daughters, she used to follow them all over the house and she would jump on our bed to cuddle with us.....your video made me cry. Even if it's been 12 years since she is gone. ❤
Sophie I'm glad to hear things are better for you this year. And totally get that feeling of sadness that remains after you lose a pet even if it's been months. I hope you keep getting better in every aspect of your life
I have a pet rabbits for the past 10 years and I understand how you feel about them. You are right, they are just like cats. Either very aloof or very loving. As for your weight. Honestly as someone who is always on a diet I never even noticed that you had gained weight. Really what does it matter just as long as you are happy and healthy, because life is short so just take care of yourself
I just love your videos so much. You have brought me so much joy through the years and i I am so glad you are going through a joyful time right now. You truly deserve it. So sorry about your baby bunnies 💞
So sorry about the loss of your pets. I lost my beloved cat last yesterday and it was a horrible, horrible year of grief. I am just now starting to feel better. I gained a lot of weight. You are not alone!
Thank god everything is going well for you! . I don´t want to hear any bad news any more. After the war started in Ukraine and is still going on I feel that there are no good news any more.
Pets are our family ❤ I had to say goodbye to my 13 year old kitty 2 weeks ago. 😢 It’s still very raw and my house just feels totally off and empty. Hoping time will help with healing.
You are right about people favouring bad news for others. Never themselves! But not me. I enjoy seeing others succeeding! I am sorry for all the trauma you went through. Thank you for the video.
Hi Sophie! I get about the rabbits, we have a lionhead Lotty, she is 6 now. Love her to death. So sory for your loss. Love your videos, always.....have a great day 🌷💕
I am so happy that you feel much better! Thank you for sharing your experience when it comes to body transformation! You really looking strong and healthy right now!
I'm so sorry about Cooper. :( I can relate to so much of what you said. I had 3 Holland Lops. The first we adopted, he was really old and we had to put him down but he was the friendliest little guy and it was just his time. The other two were from the same litter, and passed 2 years apart. I miss them all so much, they were such special little muffins. But bunnies are so sensitive and things can go wrong so fast. Some people don't understand how hard it is to lose a pet, especially bunnies, but I can completely relate to the difficulty you had with Louis (Louie?*)/Cooper's loss.
Great video! Sorry to hear you lost another rabbit! As far as weight goes, I think women get a bad rap, we should be able to say what we weigh! What you weigh on a scale is only one piece of a very complicated and complex equation. I'm 46, weigh 175 lbs, 5' 9" and I wear a size US 2- 4 - so I'm not worried. Going through an Eating Disorder is something that a lot of women (or should I say Disordered Eating learned from my Mom, who learned it from her Mom, etc, but my daughter doesn't know her weight and is as thin as a rail - we only weight at the Doctor's) anyway, is something you should be very proud of accomplishing. I say women, eat like men, they love it with their "gains" - I have a 17-year-old Ice Hockey-playing son who's all muscle and at 6' 1" and 186 pounds is technically "overweight", but his pants fit my size 0 daughter. Again, this obsession with the scale has got to stop. Thank you for this video, definitely sheds light on a world-wide obsession with pounds/kgs/stones, etc.!
I love hearing about things going well for good people ❤ And I never underestimate the loss of any pet (whatever the animal) - Its been 5 years since I lost my dog, and I still feel sad about him. Onwards and upwards for a better 2024 😊
You absolutely have the right to talk about weight loss. It’s part of your journey, it’s not like you’re giving tips on how to be anorexic or something, you’re talking about how you manage your body in a healthy way post eating disorder. - I love your videos and how honest you are. You don’t hide the not glamorous parts of your life, you’re a regular person who happens to be successful enough to buy luxury items and share with the rest of us. I’m cheering for you!🎉
Hi Sophie! This video is timely. 2023 sucked for me too. The whole year.. Month after month it just got worse. I've also lost some weight. I've lost about 7 lbs (~0.5 stone) so far. That's the only positive thing that's happened in a year. I'll take it. I hope 2024 is better for me too. I've been subscribed since about 2018 i think? Your videos pick up my day and inspire me. Thank you!
Yayy! Thanks for the tip about the scales. I've been wanting one that shows the muscle mass, but loads of scales don't include that, only show fat and other info. I'm going to go ahead and order these. Thank you 👍 I always love your videos. I've been following you since 2020. ❤
Hi Sophie, my goal is to get over my eating disorder. I have been dealing with my underlying issue but I’m not 100% there yet. I’m also someone who goes for cardio because of the buzz it gives me but I would love to see your weekly workout/weights routine and get some feedback on what does and doesn’t work for you, but only if you’re able to. Great video as always, thank you.
I do love a good life update! I have been subscribed for a long time now but had not popped in for awhile. Sorry to hear Louis passed away and then little Cooper! That is never an easy life event to go through! I am glad to hear that you both are having a better year! 2024 has been interesting so far but I am always hopeful for good things to come!
I remember you said that training with weights works better for you. Honestly, I’ve been training for 12 years with weights. Initial results are very quick, cause your body is adapting. Then it slows down. But last year I tried running, I was doing half marathons. And honestly, everything fell into trash, mental health, muscle mass, hunger, etc. I gained fat and lost muscle lol. Although I kept strength training 2-3x weekly. But it wasn’t productive, as I didn’t have much energy left after running 4 times a week. Again, it depends on the person and doing something you truly enjoy to be consistent with it. Considering my PCOS and hypothyroidism, there’s nothing better than strength training, honestly. Hope this helps someone
I'm also trying to gain more muscle and lower my fat percentage. The heaviest weight ive been was 11 stone 11 and I lost 10 pounds over the course of 1 year. This year I want to lose 14 pounds/ 1 stone. I'm doing it slowly though so I can keep it up by changing my lifestyle for the better rather than quickly trying to lose weight. Ive been doing dumbell weight exercises at home and I am very happy I find it easier to get myself up off the floor, lifting things and carrying shopping is easier as well as my arms look stronger. Oh I am short though at 5 ft 1
Condolences on the loss of both of your pets. I had dwarf lop rabbits when I lived in Victoria, Australia, and they were gorgeous. Just loved them. Unfortunately, laboratory viruses introduced by the government shortened their lives, and I was devastated. I understand how you both must feel. Please don't care what others think, some just don't have empathy. Love and blessings from Australia. xxx
so glad to hear that things are picking back up again and that you are feeling much better! it was definitely a rocky road last year and it can be so difficult losing a close energy, wishing you a 2024 filled with more happiness, health and adventures!! big hugs sophie!! xx
I was happy to hear things are going better for you this year. Losing pets is the worst and I don't think the species matters much. When we bond with anything and lose that bond, it's devastating. I don't subscribe to the idea of a hierarchy of grief depending on the animal. I'm glad you and David are beginning to move beyond the grief and that you're feeling better from the inside out. Congrats on your health and fitness wins. PS- I think it's really funny that you have one sort of "anti-social" rabbit and you guys just let her be her.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your beloved pets. 💔 On a side note, thank you for sharing the Nike Air Force tennis shoes with the metallic swooshes! I’m in the US an was able to get a pair through Amazon. I ordered a US size 8 (women’s), which is my usual size and they fit perfectly. I love them! Thank you again! I really do enjoy your videos. 😊
I'm sorry you & David lost Louie.😢And then you lost Cooper.😭Romina Rose May talks about her little bunnies in her videos. Pets find their way deep into our hearts.❤I'm SO glad things are going well for you now. Life is hard. We need to cheer each other on!🎉I lost 20 lbs with all the walking during the pandemic. Then I gained back 16. With intermittent fasting (eat during 8 hour stretch, fast 16) & walking, so far I've lost 8.⚖️Chronic challenge. I totally agree that weight issues are a dysfunctional coping mechanism. For now we'll celebrate good times!🎊🤗🌻
weight training is so important! I always tell people to go to gym to lift things rather than run. And when people start doing weight training their body will look better but the body mass might actually stay the same or even get higher, so the measurement tape or your clothes are more accurate than weight scale to prove you're making improvement in body composition. Happy training for everyone! I am pregnant at the moment so my goal right now is to stay active and to prevent body aches. Pregnancy is very hard mentally because your body is changing quickly and at least in my eyes my body looks like I've just gotten fat over night🤭 I think it will get better when the pregnancy belly is obvious to others so that I don't have to feel conscious about looking just fat to others...
Odd that people don’t want to hear good news. I’m happy that you look and feel content! Of course you were in mourning! Our pets (no matter what they are-even creepy snakes) are family!
I appreciate you sharing such personal experiences! We all think everyone else has a perfect life but in reality we will all encounter some kind of ups and downs in our lives. And all pet owners know what you feel, as pets are part of our daily lives and rely on us too.
Dear Sophie, I completely understand abt loosing pets,it is devastating, I don't do well when they pass,because they are like little children to me. I'm glad you're feeling better now! Good talk,I think you reach ppl with your wisdom and encouragement, ❤❤❤
Dear Sophie, thank you very much for sharing. I would super interested view on your workout routine since you do 6 days a week. Details such as duration, cardio/warm up and lifting and which parts of the body you are training each day with which exercises. Thank you for keeping to be an inspiration.
i've been watching you on and off for years now, you're an inspiration! i hope i can be as cool, tasteful, well-spoken, and mature as you! loved hearing your tidbit about weight/eating disorders--and i'm so sorry for your loss! i hope you are having a wonderful 2024.
Sophie you sound so positive and happy, yes, life is a journey, sometimes it is just so hard, but then the journey continues and we can get back to a good space again. For me personally, I think it is all about growth and learning while we are here. It is so difficult to lose our pets, I have felt that pain too, it is always difficult, I am sorry for the loss of your boys. You are spot on about eating disorders, I was bulemic for 7 years of my life, had some professional help and one day gave it up, that was 40 years ago, I agree about moving on and knowing you will never go back there. I am hoping this year continues to bring you new joys and self discovery.
I'm so sorry Sophie. I've had rabbits for a lot of my life and it's so devastating losing them. Also I'm so glad you're eating plenty and lifting and looking better than ever! I feel like weight training for women is the 'cheat code' 👏
I have no idea how much that is in Kg either who cares, lol. Anyhow, coming in to perimenopause, this often happens we start loosing hormones and then our body is trying to produce estrogen via our "fat" so there for we need hormonereplasment HRT. So happy you feeling better and i can tell in your eyes.
Just wanted to say that you’re such a delight. I’ve been following you since Covid. Your transparency & vulnerability are so refreshing! A simple thank you from Brooklyn 💕😘
Seriously you talk about anything you want to - dont be dictated to. Those who have followed you for years know your story and David's when you saw yourself in a photo and did not know who it was when you were anorexic.
I’m sorry about the loss of your angels . It’s so hard to lose our babies. I’ve always loved your videos. Your authenticity and kindness are evident and love hearing about your health journey . I started weightlifting also and higher protein and my body changed . Glad you are caring for yourself!
I am so sorry about your rabbit😔I am the same hight as you and I gained a stone I need to exercise and start trail walking with my dogs again. My weight fluctuates as well. Thank you for sharing🥰 my son is gone to college and its the first time he has been away from home so I have gained weight feeling very sad. He comes home soon🙂exercise is so important it really helps stress🙂
We lost our first free roam bunnie last February. He was 5. It was completely devastating for us. It’s been a year and still dealing. Totally understand ❤
Sophie; the link for the sneakers aren’t taking me to the actual sneaker. It is taking me to the Nike site, but it’s displaying a whole different type of sneaker.
I'm thinking that the people who prefer it when things are going badly for others are the ones that aren't in a good way themselves, maybe it helps them feel better if someone is having a worse time of it than they are. Hopefully, it can help them to stop thinking that they're the only ones in a particular situation and help them get through it. I personally appreciate the honesty of sharing bad times, if only because it helps dispel the myth on social media that other people's lives are perfect. But if I'm being honest, I prefer it when things are going well, just because I want the best for others.❤
Your rabbits are SO adorable. I used to have a grey floppy ear rabbit when I was a kid, who became a monster (in weight, not character!) and we tried so hard to house break him but it was next to impossible. He was definitely like a cat, loved to scratch anyone who picked him up!
Glad to hear that you're in a good place I've lost 24 lbs to now where I'm feeling healthy n good too. I know that I'm happiest at a lower weigh, but it wasn't easy 🎉
My heart broke all over again watching those videos of Cooper. Losing pets is so hard. About the rest, I also need to get back into working out. I usually go swimming a lot but I was sick with the flu and it’s so cold outside that I haven’t gone in a month. I don’t really care about the weight but I really need it for my mental health.
I’m so happy you’re doing better Sophie. It sucks to see people be jealous of others’ achievements and happiness. We should all celebrate each others’ successes. Take care X
