:::::::::::::::::OPEN ME PLEASE:::::::::::::::::::::::
This video was not easy to film, and I may not seem as peppy as I usually am. Discussing weight in general, let alone on the internet, makes me nervous, BUT...if by sharing my journey, I can help someone out there...then it's totally worth it. Every person is different, this is my journey. At the en d of the day, happiness is not a number on a scale, but its a state of mind, in my humble opinion. I hope someone finds this video helpful :) Thank you so much for watching! Stay Fabulous!! Xoxoxo

This video was tough but I poured my heart and soul out ♥️ It’s a sensitive subject, but if sharing my journey helps someone out there, then I’d do it all over again. Thank you so much for watching. I love you guys to the moon and back 💋

By far the most real member of the luxe community. I love them all, but Minnie is the one that I want to take a road-rage, four-letter word filled ride with, Thelma and Louise style.

@miekogirlie99 6 лет назад

So inspirational & so relatable. Same journey as me but you’re wearing more amazing shoes ❤️

@BeautifulYouShow 6 лет назад

Being fat is not a character flaw or disability. It's believing that you are any less because of it that's the flaw. I honestly didn't notice the size difference until the side by side pics. Your bubbliness and enthusiasm is what I saw.

@ItsJillStrif 6 лет назад

Oh Minnie it will all be okay! I’m so happy that you’ve been able to accomplish this for yourself. There is a Bible verse that I love, which is 1 Samuel 16:7 “But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

@Moomookitty-vq3ch 6 лет назад

I'm so proud of both you and Robert. I lost 103 pounds 15 years ago, and I've kept it off. I also had a health scare with a rare blood disorder that made me take control of every single thing I ate. Honestly I was taking much better care of my designer handbags better than my own body. I would never have touched my handbag after eating fried foods because the oil and grease would have damaged the leather, so why would I give it to my body? I love your message about how you feel about yourself and how to love yourself. I know your going to inspire many others. Huge hug to you darling Minnie.

@MsShannon213 6 лет назад

I’m only 26 seconds in, but I just want to say I am so proud of you that you are as strong as you are. It takes a lot for someone to talk about their journey and It may not always be easy, but you put in a lot of hard work and you set your mind to something and accomplished it ❤️ we love you Minnie

@crystleroby6441 6 лет назад

Thank you for your video. I am a 50 year old woman that is trying to lose 100lbs. I can use all the encouragement I can get and your video was definitely that. I have lost 26 so far, but it's slow going. And for someone that never had a weight issue until the age of 40, it's hard to deal with. I have very little will power. Or at least it feels like it. I have watched your videos for some time now and have always thought you were a beautiful, well put together lady. To know that someone like you has similar issues, makes me feel maybe there is hope for this old lady LOL. Thank you!

@licensedandinsureda5698 6 лет назад

dc roby your not even close to being old and yes it's doable. Your gonna do it 😘

@heynedajoon 6 лет назад

If you think 50 is old you are watching too many 20 year olds on RU-vid!

@nicolenashcroft 6 лет назад

You can do it! I am here if you need a buddy! Its hard. I always tell people no one ever tells you how hard it is. You just see the happy peppy end result. I am here for encouragement and support @dc roby.

@hilaryunderwood5580 4 года назад

I can totally relate, was teased for being “too skinny” most of my life until turning 40 and now everything I eat seems to go to my stomach & hips, I don’t get it 🤷🏼‍♀️😖!

@trisharamsey5419 6 лет назад

Minnie, I’ve been watching you for a little while now. When I started watching you, I never once noticed your weight. What I saw was a beautiful, well spoken, funny, woman with a beautiful giggle and smile. I still see all of that -plus I see a strong, brave, woman who is willing to share her difficult journey with others. You are an inspiration in many ways.

@heyyyjune 6 лет назад

Congratulations Minnie! As someone who has to manage the complications related to being overweight on a daily basis, I know that losing weight for so many people is always the hardest thing to achieve. So proud of how far you've come and you're journey! xx

@HelloKitty-iy4lp 6 лет назад

I cry while watching this! I love all your handbag review videos, but after this video I even love you more! I can't believe what you had to go through, Thank God you are now healthy and living your best! Your journey was amazing, and you are beyond beautiful!

@MelinMelbourne 6 лет назад

So proud of you! What an amazing, inspiration story! I know this would have helped so many people! It’s so true, so much of the battle is in the mind. I’m SO HAPPY that you are so much happier now and more importantly healthy! Thank you for sharing babe xo 😘

@irenebarnett1748 6 лет назад

I love this video Minnie! Had tears in my eyes as I know the feeling I undertook my healthy lifestyle change in October and have lost 23kg. This video is everything that I felt when I undertook this journey which is to be happy and healthy. Lots of love 💖💖

@cwalsh4992 6 лет назад

It was the same for me :) 100%. Got me right in the heart! Almost 10 years ago now, I also did the same and lost 25kg (and I've kept it off).

@katiedoucet4848 6 лет назад

First, Nothing made me happier then watching your v-day bag reveal and hearing you say “for reference I’m 5’-2”.” END OF SENTENCE! no “and I’m on the curvalicious side”! Two, your coworkers sound like a-holes! Third, I’m so proud of you for taking control of your health, but even more than that, the change that has happened internally! Your confidence shines through!

@ciaracoleman4452 6 лет назад

Katie Doucet I noticed when she took that line out of her description as well and I was sooo happy for her!

@abracadabraalakazam. 6 лет назад

@AmyGodBlessAmerica 6 лет назад

You are so right. Diets don't work. Lifestyle change for the long haul is the only way. :) And to those who may want to see a professional, please be sure to talk with a Registered Dietitian. Anyone can call themselves a "nutritionist". The advice Mini gives was pretty spot. on. Sinserely, A Registered Dietitian who also loves handbags, shoes, makeup etc.... :)

@SYRSALLY 6 лет назад

What a wonderful video. I’m a 68 year old woman and on December 31st I said it may be too late but I need to get the weight off and get healthy. As of today I am down 20.4 lbs and have along way to go but if I stick with it I may be able add a few more years to my life. I also had my gall bladder out about 10 years ago. You are so beautiful and try not to focus on those co workers and what they say. You’ll find people get jealous of you if that happens.....it is their problem....not yours. You look great and I feel your pain. After my son died 7 years ago I really tried to eat myself happy. If course that didn’t work so I’m now on a new path. Congratulations and I hope I can be that proud of myself in time. God Bless you. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

@lvluxdelight 6 лет назад

Congratulations. You're absolutely right: your mind has to be WILLING to change your lifestyle. Eating healthy and working out is def a lifestyle. You should be EXTREMELY proud of yourself. It's all in the MIND

@amirafrencillo119 6 лет назад

Minnie thank you for sharing your journey with all of us. I know it must have been difficult to share publicly. You have always been and will always be such a wonderful personality here on RU-vid! Seeing how much happier you are now with your hard work and new lifestyle is inspirational! You look fabulous! But for the record... your internal beauty will always be Gold! Bless x

@ChristyJ 6 лет назад

@Kammitoes 6 лет назад

You’re absolutely an inspiration. ....and you’re no more or less beautiful than you were a year ago, more importantly you are now beautiful and healthy. More power to you🌟🌻

@allysmith2284 6 лет назад

I have noticed your weight loss in your videos.... I have a similar story as you and have recently lost 22kgs over the last year..... the best thing I found was getting a job I loved and buying a horse as well as making sure I was on the right vitamins.... much more physical excersise and being too busy to just sit around and eat has helped me HEAPS! Congratulations Minnie!! You should be so proud😊

@emilypound 6 лет назад

This is the most common sense, down-to-earth discussion about weight issues, weight loss, and pinpointing the right motivation for weight loss that I have ever heard on RU-vid ... and I've watched a lot of weight loss videos. :) When I listened to you tell your story, I felt like I was listening to myself. I've struggled with weight all my life. My health and working on my weight loss continues to be a work in progress. We all have to come to that exact point in our lives when we know deep inside what the motivation is and be prepared to execute it. Simple as that. Sometimes we get close to success, but not close enough. And we take a break, absorb the "failure" and wait till we feel strong enough to try again. That's where I am right now. But I felt so inspired listening to you. I think you are wonderful. :)

@mrsjantwo 6 лет назад

Thank you for sharing such a personal and emotional journey. When I was 18 I was in the house when I heard a gunshot and it was my mother. She committed suicide. I ate my emotions up and down the scale for years. Now I eat clean. You are such an inspiration❤️❤️❤️❤️

@Lifeplasty 6 лет назад

I am so sorry that you suffered such a tragedy in your life. You are so strong to be here and living healthy. X

@heatherashworth7180 5 лет назад

I know this is an older video but I really want you to know that your vulnerability was so touching and I completely relate and truly wholeheartedly appreciate your strength in sharing your story! You are so beautiful inside and out. Your light shines bright you gorgeous girl!! 💗

@tracymoniqueah94 6 лет назад

Hi Minnie! I had stopped watching your videos and quite frankly, all luxe you tubers. I was trying to concentrate on getting my finances together for 2018 and these videos tempted me to want more than I could afford. Something struck me last night to seek out your channel thinking that I could find some inspiration to “spruce up” something that I already own. Well to my surprise, I found inspiration but not for handbags! EVERYTHING you said in this video resonated with me. Thank you so much for your transparency, your story and your genuine love for your followers! My health issues are what have sent my finances out of control - hence the no luxury items for a while stance. I have got to change my mind and my mindset and take care of me! I’m so proud of you and I’m so happy that God saw fit to make you and Robert soul and life mates. He sounds amazingly supportive! May God bless you both! ❤️

@angelicearthling 6 лет назад

I think with changing your lifestyle it is always good to look at it from a health perspective, and self love perspective rather than just wanting to be 'skinny'. I think too many people, especially women just think about weight loss in terms of their looks, rather than focusing on self love and improving their health. I'm so glad you are feeling better. :)

@jenniferknorman 6 лет назад

So. Much. Respect. Thank you for your brutal honesty with your struggle and achievements. You are such an inspiration! It’s so evident in your face and body language how difficult this was for you to talk about, but what shines so much greater is the strength you have gained. Keep it up love ❤️

@daisy3384 6 лет назад

I'm not a purse RU-vidr but my sister is and shared your video with her sisters. I'm going to the gym after watching it. When you can move even non-subscribers, you've done a good job. Congratulations 💙💦

@jbunk2109 5 лет назад

Thank you for your honesty and letting us in to your personal struggles. I am currently your before photo and am borderline diabetic (which runs in my family) and listening to you is giving me motivation for my own lifestyle change. Thank you thank you thank you for your sincere honesty! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@ellebe1796 6 лет назад

@leooooo222 6 лет назад

Minnie this is amazing!!!! So so proud of you!!!! You seem so happy!! I'm going through the same struggles..I don't love working out. I will go for a while and eat super strict and lose a few pounds and then fall off the wagon. It's a never-ending cycle and I am completely unhappy with who I see in the mirror. I hope that I am able to find the motivation like you did. You're amazing!

@ginaa.4539 6 лет назад

I am so inspired by your "real talk" about this very personal health issue. I appreciate the raw emotion you relayed in each step (before, during and after the weight loss/health gains). It such a sensitive topic for me also as I struggle with weight. I really like how you approached the issue by focusing on getting your liver in check and the resulting weight loss as an added bonus. Being overweight, for me, weighs me down physically and emotionally. I'm glad you are healthy and feel the freedom of success! Excellent work!

@CapeCodBelle 6 лет назад

Thank you for sharing your story so openly and honestly. I’m sure you have helped many of your viewers and subscribers with this video. You are a truly inspiring woman Minnie!

@ajlundeen 6 лет назад

How inspirational. I give you tons of credit. I have been trying to lose 10-15 pounds and it has been so hard and discouraging. I know I need to exercise but I get home from an 8 hour day and I’m spent. The last thing I want to do is exercise. Plus I’m not as young as you...I’m 59. How did you get motivation/energy to exercise after working all day? I’m proud of what you have accomplished.

@meizchou 5 лет назад

I know this is not a recent video. But I’m happy I get to watch it going through your archives. I got tears in my eyes watching. Thanks so much for sharing, Minnie. So happy and proud of you. ♥️♥️♥️

You made me feel so better and encouraged, i am about to start my own healthy living journey and hopefully one day i can share to you my success story as well. Ps this is my firt comment in your video and ive been watchin you for yeaaarsss. Thank you Ms M!

@Kennedy4295 6 лет назад

I just want to give you a big hug I see how hard this is for you to make this video and to make yourself vulnerable. My story mirrors yours a lot. I was called tiny when I was little as an adult I was far from tiny. I also ended up in the hospital with failing gallbladder, fatty and infected liver. My gallbladder is gone now and I’ve lost a lot of weight. I wish you all the health and happiness in the world💜💜 You look amazing but the beautiful part to see is how happy you truly are now in your videos. We all love you at any weight but are celebrating your health and happiness with you congratulations💜🤗

@sherritalbot3399 6 лет назад

You always "labeled" yourself curvalicious!! I never saw that. You are such a beautiful person inside and out. I mean this from the bottom of my heart. I feel like I know you. I go thru the same thing and always think I need to eat better but I need to do something about it just like you did. Congrats on your weight loss and I never thought you were fat anyways. You look beautiful no matter what size you are because you are YOU! Just always stay you! I love you for you! I so feel like I know you. Thankyou for sharing 💕😘

@justjami435 6 лет назад

Girl, I'm a big girl and I still love this video. Not because your size...But because you feel better and feel proud of yourself and that's what is important. I think beauty comes in all shapes and colors...But you look beautiful, because you look so happy Minnie. Good for you!!!

@NicoleGiamatti 6 лет назад

Awww this video. While I sit in my tears awww it’s the boost I needed to just keep going. I’m on 2 mo in and results are really hard to see but I’m going to keep going. I will keep going. I’m really happy for you and thank you so much for sharing.

@rosedavis3535 6 лет назад

Sometimes we need a wake up call. For me it was fighting auto immune disorder but I am thankful that I am alive and got a second chance to make things right. I have learned so much about food and how it effects us. Watching some documentary movies like Fed UP, really opened my eyes to the crisis that out nation is facing when it come to food. So glad you took your health as a priority . I wish you all the best going forward.

@marinacaravas 6 лет назад

I can totally sympathise with you. I’m at my biggest now and it’s so hard! You go girl!!

@katesmith4687 6 лет назад

What an honest video. I completely identify with how hearing “ just eat less and workout” does nothing but cause shame. Hearing your story of perseverance and hope is so great. Inspiring me to start my journey.

@ourchannelofthisandthat 6 лет назад

Minnie you are such an inspiration. Look how far you've come! You should be so proud. Congratulations on finding your true self again and thank you for sharing xx

@jamielee1412 6 лет назад

I love how you call your indulgences “free days” rather than “cheat meals”. It’s crazy what a difference that makes! Thank you so much for this video there were so many points that I have found true for my own weightloss journey, and it’s so helpful to hear someone else experiencing the same things!

I'm a longtime subscriber and viewer, but I've never commented...until today. I was completely moved by this video-it brought me to tears. It hurts my heart to know how you've struggled, and I wanted you to know that I've ALWAYS thought you are gorgeous and have one of the most beautiful smiles I've ever seen! Thank you for sharing.

@shawnchristinejones5136 6 лет назад

Congratulations on all your hard work...it has certainly paid off! Sometimes a health scare can be a blessing and you definitely have shown that. Wishing you continued success 😘. You’re absolutely beautiful!!!!!

@lilbflores 6 лет назад

Minnie! Crying and feeling every word you said on this video. Thank you for this! ❤️ I used to be bullied in school and when I was 14 I realized that I wasn’t gonna continue that way. Is not easy for me to look the way I look now. I wake up every morning at 5am to head to the gym and watch what I eat all the time. My coworkers make fun of me because I dont eat bad foods like them.I choose to have a personal trainer who pushes me twice a week and a nutrionist coach who updates my macros every week. Yes is a luxury to do all that and probably somebody will choose to get another LV bag instead of what I do but I choose to be happy first and I am happy when I look good in my own skin. Confidence and self-esteem are priceless to me plus knowing I am healthy is the best feeling. You are doing what’s best for you and I am so happy to follow your journey. Big hug to you! And so proud of all the hard work you are putting in! ❤️👏🏼

@JerushaCouture 6 лет назад

@leinaahmad3776 3 года назад

I'm reallyy proud of you. I always love watching your handbag videos and had no idea of this journey in your life. This couldn't have been easy for you to talk but yet again you've made an excellent video. This is probably the best video you have ever made (I'm my opinion). Very well done on what you've achieved. We all owe it to our body to look after it in the same way that we would anything that is precious to us. To achieve what you have is truly worthy of celebration and congratulations. You're a beautiful, strong, happy, positive and healthy person. May you and your happiness (Robert) always be so.

@lizwhitner2458 6 лет назад

Congratulations on all of your hard work! Thank you for sharing your story; you will encourage a lot of people by sharing your journey.

@courtneyd.4061 6 лет назад

Minnie, this is hands down the most genuine, heart felt video I've ever watched on RU-vid. As someone who has also struggled with weight and over the years successfully lost 78lbs, I can relate to so much of what you said. I still have an immediate family member that has to make comments about my previous weight to the point where I have to look past my reaction of "Wow, I was really that bad huh?". Anyway, thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting out this video. I know it will help many people look beyond the number on the scale. You are in inspiration in many ways, and you are appreciated. (P.S. - love the slight change in the shelves haha). XOXOXOXO - Courtney, Long Island, NY.

@ciliawillia9454 6 лет назад

❤️❤️❤️Minnie you are Amazing ❤️❤️❤️ I wish people would realize how bad certain foods can damage your organs. Seeing this part of you makes my ❤️sing❣️ yes handbags 👜 are so beautiful and it makes us happy ......but seeing you happy in your new 20’s, & when you upload your vlogs it really shows how happiness comes from within you and the people who surround you and not just material stuff I’m glad you’ve had Robert and your mom as your best supporters Many Many Blessings to you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@NastasiaM53 6 лет назад

Oh Minnie, I was very much looking forward to this video as a successful moment for you and my curiosity on how you achieved your goal and keep to stay motivated, but I have never thought on the reasons behind your weight loss or even better the weight gain. However, I am very proud of you and for how you learned to be and eat healthy. It was very emotional and I really appreciate you shared your story with us. Thank you for that. This inspires me to may share a similar story of mine where I won’t talk about me, but about someone very close to me where food and mental pressure changed a life. Minnie you look beautiful, enjoy your moment, you did a very good job and make it a fabulous day or not, the choice is yours. Stay strong sweety, xoxo ❤️💋

@gatorblue11 6 лет назад

I’m so happy for you Minnie! There is nothing more amazing than being happy within your own skin. Every date or party is more enjoyable when getting dressed isn’t so stressful. I recently lost 20lbs myself over the course of a year. A lot of people expect you to lose weight fast and diet drastically, but slow and steady was a good pace for me. I would recommend that way to anyone who is embarking on a similar journey. Focus on healthy and the scale will follow slowly but next thing you know, a year goes by and viola! ❤️❤️

Dear Minnie! You’re absolutely right! It’s not about a number in the scale, it’s about changing your state of mind! You look amazing, but not because you are thinner. It’s because you are stronger! Someone who is capable off doing what you did, never came back! Now you know how strong, persistent, resilient you are able to be. And that’s the big change! Congratulations on your willpower!

Thank you!!! I'm watching the video in its entirety and all I will say is Amen. Are you in my head? Yes. Thank you again great background for this video, cause I think the bags would have been distracting. I want to make health my obsession, I hope it's like buying luxury items, I just want more. I will see. Your a healthy cutie now.

@Chickadeevee 6 лет назад

So inspiring, Minnie! You are beautiful and healthy, God is so good! You look happy and great. I am here if you want to have a fitness buddy. I am on my own fitness journey but don't weigh myself. That totally throws me off. My goal is to lose 4-6 sizes in a year or so, used to be a size 22 and now a 14. I really enjoy working out and try to jog 6 days per week. This was a huge step for me because I haven't jogged before in my adult life. Just recently I left out of state to take care of family and go on a short vacation. This home state is a place where all my favorite comfort foods are and I could hardly believe that I didn't go crazy on it. My stomach may have gotten smaller because I cannot eat as much. One thing I missed was jogging, but stayed so active. Once we returned my hubby and daughter caught colds now I did too. My energy level dropped immediately. Part of me got discouraged, but then I realized that I'm not eating as much and making better choices. I tried on jeans yesterday that haven't been worn in forever, they're a size smaller. They go on and zipped up!!!! Still need to lose some before they fit right. Progress is such a wonderful motivator. Someday I'll do a headstand and take my daughter skating. Those are 2 goals.

You did such an amazing job.That is one of the keys. Try to get all family on board and do not have processed foods in the house at all.

Marla Robinson this is really important! I’m going through the transition stage with zero carb currently and the carb cravings can be difficult at times! Sugar addiction is so real!

Thank you so much for sharing this piece of yourself with us! I am at my highest weight ever and can’t seem to find a diet/routine that fits and helps me lose weight. 5 years ago I started gaining, I am now a size 16, so your story gives me hope. We just found out that my husband of 11 years has Aspergers, so that explains much of my depression. I’m hoping that I’m reaching a turning point in my life too! Thank you so much for sharing this!!

Thank you for this video. This morning I cried all the way through my boxing PT sessions today. Frustrated at myself and my body, I was re writing all those labels all over my body. I felt Im trying so hard for so long to get healthy. I want to be strong and lose this weight I carry and I feel like Im not getting anywhere. I needed to hear you today, I needed you to share. Thank you Minnie. So I'm pulling up my big girl panties and Im going to keep going because you did. And if you can and do then so can I ( I hope) xx

I think I needed this.. thank you. I’ve had weight problems for 14yrs now (I’m 27) and I lost the weight 2yrs ago for my wedding but got too comfortable and lazy after it and now I’ve gained all the weight, again.. it’s frustrating and it has made me very depressed especially since I’m only 5ft tall. Thank you for inspiring me to get back to changing my habits and basically waking up again. Thank you for showing me it can be done even in baby steps. Its hard and I appreciate the fact that you’re strong enough to share this with us. Hope you get to where you want to be Minnie♥️

I have always found you beautiful inside and out. I appreciate your honesty on this subject. I agree diets don't work it's lifestyle. So happy for you and how you feel! 😘Xoxo

Minnie!!!!! Thank you thank you for this! I feel like our stories are so similar. Ever since I had a child 10 years ago I could never lose the weight. I also had a hard time transitioning into a stay at home mom. I also had a couple health issues and had a bad reaction to a drip that left me anxious and depressed. Also after my first son we could no longer have any kids. So food was my comfort. I packed on so much weight. I tried every diet and lost weight and put more back on. The last time I went to the doctor they put me on meds for pre diabetes, I knew something had to change. So this year I decided to not lose weight but to get healthy!! I hired a trainer who works out with me and gave me a meal plan, not a crazy diet but healthy eating. It’s actually exactly what you eat! I have a lot of weight to lose and a long way to go but I’m happy I started the journey. So thank you for this video, I feel like I can relate to your situation and you have given me encouragement to keep going. So thank you for being open. I know how uncomfortable it is to talk about weight but thank you for doing it! I wish you all the best! You look amazing but more than that you are healthy!!!!!!!

@melm2459 6 лет назад

Thank you so much for your honesty! While you are always such a genuine person in your videos, it is so nice to have a bit of “real life” in the RU-vid community. Weight is a big issue for us women and I know there are so many out there who are going through what you have. I am so proud of you for your strength in this journey and thankful you have been blessed with such a supportive family. Having your husband with you on this journey must have made it much easier to bear through the tough times. Thank you so much for all you do, including sharing with us this part of your life. You are an inspiration to so many people!

@marjonwhite2854 6 лет назад

Wow this was amazing to watch, it made me cry. You have done so well you should be proud! From today I am changing my mindset as well, I’m very fit and exercise a lot, but my eating habits are so bad. I eat when I’m happy, I eat when I’m sad. I eat when I’m lonely and when I’m bored. I hide chocolate wrappers from my family. I have no control. I need to regain control of my eating and I’ve known that for a long time. Every word you said made sense. Thank you xxx

@jaboubaa928 6 лет назад

I completely understand you. I gained 70 lbs since I came into this country 18 years ago. The food here is bad as well the lifestyle.

@oneworld24 6 лет назад

Jabou baa it’s hard in the US. The food that’s available is really bad.

@jaboubaa928 6 лет назад

oneworld24 yes it is. In my country everything is organic simple and fresh. You only have 3 meals and sweat all day long.

Minnie it’s like listening to someone describe my last 5 years (looked ‘fine’...trauma => weight gain...family/coworkers zeroing in and not valuing me) thank you for making this

@booksandbags1790 6 лет назад

Thank you for sharing your journey with us. This came at such a perfect time for me. And thank you so much for mentioning how upsetting it can be when people comment “wow you’ve lost so much weight, you look amazing” etc. I know that they are coming from a good place, and trying to be supportive but they don’t understand how hurtful that can be for some of us. So Inspiring! We love you!

@summerbreeze7777 6 лет назад

Thank you for sharing! It inspires me 😙 I always thought you were gorgeous, no matter what size.

@TheresaTrychanel5 6 лет назад

Minnie I was once 220lbs (I’m 5 foot8) and at that time in my life I didn’t feel so good about myself. I had warning health scares and that if I didn’t do something about now, it would later catch up to me. So just as you did Minnie...I took control of my nutrition and exercise regimen...and now I feel so much better at 60lbs less. So ....all the emotions that you spilled out in this video...I was with you on every single word. I totally understood everything that your saying because I was once there; coworkers, family neighbors, all had something to say...some good , bad or jealous and all though it’s been some years since my weight loss...I still find myself (sometime) thinking that I’m larger then I am...the struggle is real but it does get easier. Thank you again for sharing your journey. Love you Minnie and btw: you look beautiful then and now. God bless
