OPENING UP ABOUT MY WEIGHTLOSS... *down 70lbs in 6 months* 

Lol Alexandra Rodriguez would disagree with health and weight being linked 🤣 Well done though Sam ❤

……… 😐😕😒😒

@@kayladawson6847 that’s 100% true from both ends of the spectrum. From malnourishment to obesity.

malnourishment is not the contrary of obesity. you can be obese and be malnourished​@@emilygibson7963

So Right ✅ 👏 ❤

I felt this way after I stopped being vegan. I used to obsess about food all the time. Finally I stopped and didn’t obsess about food all the time. I can relate.

You have food noise because you eat shit. You are under nourished and overfed. Your body craves the nutrients it needs

Same thoughts as a dietitian!! Great job to her!! 🎉

Weight loss medications are NOT healthy. I’m a doctor and we’ve been finding more and more long term effects in these patients. The healthiest sustainable way is diet and exercise. Once a patient is off these meds for DIABETICS and HEART FAILURE patients they gain the weight back, and have all the consequences of malnutrition.

Yes! When i was bigger, I knew it but didn’t realize how freaking big I was until i lost a little weight. Why does the mirror lie to me? Ugggh

100%! This was me 50 pounds ago. I knew I was big but didn’t think of myself as THAT big but yes I was. At least, bigger than I thought in my head

Holy hell, yes. I only ever see it in pictures or if I see myself on camera. Otherwise, I legitimately don’t see just how big I am.

Not to be that person lol, but dysmorphia is dysmorphia, regardless of how you see yourself in comparison to reality.

The hard truth is, it most likely is. Unless it’s an ear infection, get another doctor. Everything i went to the doctors about i was convinced they just blamed on my weight because they didn’t want to treat it, said problems healed or reversed when i lost weight

Meanwhile my doctor "be careful with the ozempic because I think you're not considering the risks more" and I'm like "aren't the risks higher with obesity and pre-diabetes?" Like at this point if I get something bad it'll probably be from my coke zero addiction.

Excess weight is hard on your body. I know this because I'm a big person. I'm 5'10 and weighed 260 just a few months ago. Your body will buck against you.

And when you’re no longer obese they’ll blame everything on anxiety..

I e said this my whole life! Like I know I’m not ugly lol my weight is the issue here

That’s definitely true but ive had moments when i can tell if i agree they would be mad

It's such a iykyk moment, I love it

One minute you need concealer, the next you’re in drag. 😂😂

Right! I don’t notice until I try on clothes lol and then I’m like oh oops lol

Can so relate!

Yep! When I was diagnosed with anorexia, I was treated so well by strangers and men. Now that I've had two children, I'm almost 27, midsize and recovered...seems like I'm nothing to people visually.

Ah you’re not alone!! Me as well! I am 5’4 and through highschool I was a little under 90 pounds. Now I’m in a healthier environment and am now 26, so now I’m about 145. It’s hard to rid my mind of the want to be small. I have to tell myself that I am an adult woman now and it’s okay to have gained weight. It’s a topic that isn’t talked about enough too! The struggle of accepting weight gain when you came from an unhealthy place. I still struggle everyday, but going to the gym has helped me lots! I am trying right now to be about 130 tho! that feels a bit more comfy for me! Good luck to everyone and we all need to be kind to ourself! I love these videos because it’s so real, we all struggle in different and similar ways💖

same here! I've become invisible to people after recovery lol.

@@carlamoss89why are you concerned about the attention you’re getting? Who cares? Get on with it, you’re so lucky to be alive and healthy. Enjoy it, there’s other unfortunates being told they’re terminal and there’s nothing that can be done for them

@@enoughalready8088I understand what you’re saying and you are partially correct. But it’s important to note why people are being mistreated because it shows the bias nature in our society and how to tackle it.

WELL DONE🎉

im proud of you !! how was the first two months im at a little plateau and im frustrated!!

@@anaiscolon6790don’t stop! You will over come it! Just keep pushing!

That’s awesome!

​@anaiscolon6790 dude, same. I've also been at a plateau for over a month now and I'm so down on myself for it.

Im currently 5'2 at 251 being my heaviest too! I'm currently on a journey to be approved for weight loss surgery and am seeing a bariatrician who told me I can be put on mounjaro or zepbound prior to surgery since i need to lose weight before surgery. I wanted to do it but chose not to because of the price. I cannot afford it and i see so many comments about the price. Instead I was put back onto phentermine/topamax combo again after a couple of months of being off of it and im honestly wishing i looked into the zepbound a little more.

@@rosa.karlss I had vertical gastric sleeve surgery in 2015 (paid 15K out of pocket). I only lost about 40lbs then immediately went back up to 236. Before Mounjaro/Zepbound nothing worked for me. I felt like such a failure after gastric sleeve and had so much shame. I spent thousands on Medifast and only lost to the upper 190s before regain. The insane restriction was not sustainable for me (and it’s not sustainable for 99% or more people). I did Weight Watchers. I trained for a half marathon. I’m thankful to be in a position where I can afford this medication. Have faith that these meds will be available and affordable to all at some point. I wish this medication had been available to me when I was younger. Given how much I spent on all those other methods, paying $550/month isn’t any worse.

@@rosa.karlss I use henry meds and its under $300 a month. you are worth it.

Sad you have to cheat by using medication

I’m 5’2 and 175 lbs now I’m tying one last time to lose on my own but if I can’t I will just try to do ozempic I hope I get approved.

My mom went from 120's to 200's when she was pregnant with me and my sib. I think in part it was due to her soda craving. We ended up being somewhat tiny babies, but not premature.

@@sweaterweatherlady Yeah the crazy thing is that my doctor didn't say anything about my excessive weight gain. I'm thankful you guys and my own baby came out well at the end of it all but it's absolutely can turn into a risky pregnancy.

its so sad that apparence matters so much for a good treatment from people. That is why it's so important to be always nice to ourselves, even if the world isn't.

@@mallory5777 It's so crazy how different people treat each other when somebody is bigger :( It truly is sad. But I'm glad the creeps stopped coming up to you XD That's at least one positive

Maybe you got ugly when you gained weight?? You didn’t consider maybe you just looked beat?

Woohoo! Girl i wish it was that easy to do that ive been struggling here

Because you eat shit food. That why your body craves food. You ate inder nourished

You’re not alone. I need to do something about my weight too. Don’t give up and know that you can do anything you set your mind to😊

Psychologist so you get a hold of your WHY, what drives you to numb youself with food. You need the tools to regulate your emotions! When you have been taught this food will just be food. You have an eating disorder which is a mental disorder. It will be ok❤

This also was my experience a month ago… I weighed the most I ever had. I cried a solid two days about it. My advice is let yourself feel upset because it is hard to hear that news. Then I made a plan of what I was going to do about it. 1 month later I am 7 pounds down!

@@soilgrasswaterair I cannot second this enough. After I was properly diagnosed and treated with my mental illness characterized by emotional dysregulation, I was finally able to view food as food and not my main coping mechanism. I’ve been able to start losing weight now because of this after years and years of struggling.

Whichever you choose, you can do it! Give yourself a chance, you'll be surprised what you can accomplish ❤

Yes the same thing for me

Keep at it! It’s a great hobby ❤

I think it's important that even if someone is overweight by "choice" there's tons of psychological factors that impact that. It shouldn't be a reason to stay sick, but I think the real point of body positivity for me is just learning to be kind to whatever body you're in throughout your journey. Because self hate is not going to magically make you lose weight in a healthy way

That is so hard. I’m so sorry people treat you differently. No one should do that.
