This is not the easiest topic to cover, so I really hope this video was helpful just a little bit, and if you have any extra tips I would love to hear them 😊👇🏼 Also, here is the video about body and style confidence I mentioned in the video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-38hKTWsUip4.html 🥰❤
Great advice here, thank you for focusing on lifestyle factors and how we feel in our bodies over appearance! I've lost a lot of weight over the past year and it's all through having healthier habits - giving up drinking, preparing all my meals from scratch, no takeaways and exercising. I'm absolutely not dieting. When I was focusing on appearance and dieting I found it impossible to lose weight and my weight crept up to a very unhealthy level. I am relying on belts quite a lot at the moment as I can't afford to replace much yet but looking forward to my new wardrobe eventually :)
Absolutely, I too had a history of dieting and I remember how destructive that was, it’s so much better to focus on how we feel ❤️ I love your story and comment, I’m happy for you 😊 Thanks for sharing!
Kim, I found this video inspiring! I love what you said about if/when we don't like our new body but our lifestyle is better that it's possible to accept and love our new body anyway. Also, what you said about questioning whether our new bodies are sustainable or not is very smart. We can love our new body a lot but if it's not sustainable, it can lead to a lot of suffering trying to keep it.
I’m only 6 minutes in and I’m loving this! You’re totally putting it terms that resonate with me. You have a beautiful accent. And I love when women share their insecurities, because I would look at you and think- “she is beautiful, I wish my body was like that.” But then you have that body and wish it was different! Gotta stop comparing, like you said. Haha
Aw, thank you for your kind words ❤ I agree, the comparison does us no good, that's why I prefer to focus on how I feel vs. how I look, it's much healthier this way 🥰
I have hypothyroidism so I can gain weight very quickly, to make my life easier I weigh first thing in the morning. This is the best way to make immediate changes like going for more walks, not drinking so much wine 😂. It’s too easy to fool myself without the scale.
I also love weighing myself in the morning, it's more accurate that way 😉 And I absolutely agree, I can easily fool myself as well, have to keep myself accountable, hehe 😊 Thanks for sharing! 😘
I've just found you on RU-vid as I needed some help on how to declutter and also organise my wardrobe when dealing with weight fluctuations. I'm a new subscriber and I'm already loving all your content. It's very helpful, thanks so much!
After turning 28 my old clothes just don’t fit me anymore. I wore XS and S before and I’m a definite M now, sometimes I buy even L (comfortable clothes for being at home, I like that they are a bit oversized). I had to buy many new jeans though and found out Gap has some awesome jeans! 🙂 Absolutely love you and your channel! Keep doing what you’re doing because it’s super helpful! ❤
Very thoughtful tips and so true. I like to dress nicely everyday even though I don’t go anywhere. In winter though, I like jumpers but find that they don’t wash or wear that well. I don’t want to wear sweatshirts but don’t know a good alternative for a warm top that doesn’t pill like jumpers. Have you got any ideas. I know you wear a lot of jumpers.
I'm glad you liked this! 🥰 As for winter outfits, you guessed right, I love my jumpers, I however don't have a lot of problem with pilling, but it's true I also have some synthetic materials in them 😊
I really need help. I'm working on my style to be more sophisticated and I'm losing weight. Some stores I'm a size 16 some I'm an 18. I'm losing weight slowly and hope to get down to a size 14. I've got some clothes that are too big for me aka size 18 and I'm really stuck and my space is very limited so I can't store them away. What do I do?
It's a bit hard for me to just tell you what to do, but hopefully the flowchart can you help you with this 😊 I can also share my story if it helps (if you want the full version you can watch it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5e4jMzhVUwM.html ). Long story short, before discovering minimalism I had a walk-in closet with 3 different sizes, so I was already "ready" for weight fluctuations. But when I started decluttering, I decided to keep only the size that represent my happiest and healthiest version of me, and I decluttered the rest, and I must say I never regretted that decision, because I knew I can stay at this weight with little to no extra effort. And once I decluttered items that were too big and also too small (I kept the size in the middle), I experienced much less fluctuations, funny how that works! So even if I gain a little bit of weight I don't buy bigger sizes, I just make a few lifestyle adjustments until I can fit into those few pieces that are a bit tight, and I personally like that accountability. Now this is my perspective, but remember, it's your money and your clothes, so do what feels best 🥰
