  • ❤I'm Done - Wanting to Quit the Internet and Dealing with Trolls - Weekly Vlog | Half of Carla
    Welcome to this week's vlog! I take you with me to have a very interesting "Facial", get my brows done and a hair refresh ahead of a weekend away in London. But at the end of the video I share with you what it can really be like to be an "influencer" online, the highs and the lows of sharing your life online.

    I lost 175 lbs 10 years ago and have gained it all back. Your videos have shown me exactly why I have gained it back and what I need to focus on. I found your channel a week ago and I've been watching your videos every day since. I've learned so much from you in such a short time, it's been incredibly eye-opening and you've lit this fire inside me that I knew I had but had been laying dormant for all these years. I'm finally confident that this time, my success will be permanent. Thank you

    Thanks to you I found the courage to start losing weight. Then, also thanks to you, I found BodySlims and I just ended my first program. Lost so much weight, it is something I never imagined! Going back in September. You have to ignore the trolls, your vlog is doing good to SO many people! Block the SODs and keep doing what you do best! 💖

    I for one have been helped by your honesty and candor, I just passed the 52 lb mark and I have 70 to go and I'm over 50 in age. You are an inspiration to many many many more people, but I know how the brain works and unfortunately we focus on the negative and the vast majority of us who are positive don't post enough... I am guilty of that. I have seen more than one kick ass creator leave social media because people don't know how to act. Look out for yourself. But a huge thank you for what you've given to us so far.

      I am 42 and have lost 110 lbs by following Carla’s advice and applying her emotional healing advice. This channel is very important. More women, and guys, need ppl like Carla pushing them to be better people all around.

    • @Rye_Toast
      @Rye_Toast Год назад +1

      @@MindfullyMindy That is FANTASTIC!! I hope you feel amazing inside and out. I agree completely, being a better person inside is part of the process that I don't think anyone has ever addressed when it comes to weight loss, many of us carry trauma and pain that hold us back, certainly it's what got me in this situation and by working on it I feel it's the reason I've been able to get this far.

    • @Rye_Toast
      @Rye_Toast Год назад +2

      ​@@HalfofCarla You're very welcome. You matter. Your efforts matter. You gave me "hope" back, and I don't use that word lightly, for as much as I had going well for me in my life at the time I discovered your channel at the core I was pretty close to my lowest point.
      I have a new coworker who has worked in such toxic environments before joining our team that she admitted she has sometimes tried to insert some chaos and would go home crying at night because she was so used to a toxic workplace that it was hard for her adjust. Now that I know that, I have been able to give her a lot of grace when she's being unreasonable because I grew up in an abusive household so I understand how hard it was to adjust to a positive relationship, it's like you can't hide behind your trauma anymore. When there's chaos around you then that's your excuse to function within your normal parameters.
      You made me realize that this is why I was never able to succeed before, I needed to deal with that trauma, that simply losing weight wasn't going to patch the cracks in my mental state. You gave me hope that I could be whole again. Nobody else ever did that. So when you describe how that woman said "thank you" I kind of teared up a little, that wasn't me but it could have been.

    Oh Carla, I do love you 💚💚💚 You’re such a beautiful soul and there’s only one reason why people project their hatred/sadness/frustration onto you… envy! But you’ve shown up for yourself and put so much work into getting to where you are now. They don’t understand that though.
    Take it from me… I’m 59 , I’m terminally ill with ovarian cancer and nothing on this world matters more than kindness and compassion. You posses both and you deserve amazing things in life. You help keep me on track and inspire me to keep going. Thank you honey , thank you SO much ❤ xxxx
    One thing I’m grateful is that at my stage of life, I feel that life has so much clarity. I see the truth in life xxx

    Carla, You have inspired me more than anyone has in years. I'm overweight alcoholic who is struggling with depression and nothing has helped. Since i've been watching your posts ( and taking notes) you've helped me see things and hear things in a different way. How I view my relationship with food ( and alcohol!) and how I view myself. I can't thank you enough. 💖💖💖

    🖤🖤🖤 well said, Carla. Boundaries are so important for our mental health. Being a public figure is not easy and you do it with style, grace and humility. So many of us have been led to BodySlims and a new lease on our own lives because you dared to offer your own journey to the world in spite of the possibility of the haters. I’m grateful for your strength and capacity to share. 🖤🖤🖤

    @betsyspielmann7676 Год назад +3

    You do so much good with your platform. You have shared your vulnerabilities with many. You are so right, that person is unhappy with themselves/their lives. It’s not about you. Blocking them is the best thing for you and for them.

    • @nuclearchick1487
      @nuclearchick1487 Год назад

      I agree. Trolls are lacking inside and want to bring others down to make themselves feel better. Block the trolls and try not to take it personally. Easier said than done, I know.

  • @leslienelis301
    @leslienelis301 Год назад +7

    Having a career in social media would be hard, because there are no consequences for people who say mean things and have bad intentions. Blocking them is perfectly acceptable 👍🏼 it takes tough skin to put yourself out there. People are offended by just about anything these days. don’t pay attention, stay strong 💪. You are truly inspirational. ❤️✌️ from San Diego.

    Hi Carla, Please, please, please DO NOT allow the trolls to win. I found your channel in January 2022, and began my BodySlims journey with your encouragement. I have severe back and hip issues that prevented me from walking very much, and got a new hip last August! Despite these challenges, I have lost 26 pounds for a total of 100 pounds over the last 15 years. I do not care how long it takes me to lose the last 60-70. You have been an inspiration to me in my journey back to health and fitness. I could go on and on. God bless you, and I know you will focus on all the positive and good work you do!

    I was struggling with my weight loss. Somewhere around "the middle" I started to think, "do i really need to keep going? Aren't I good enough now?"
    I've lost 55 lbs and have about 30 left. Then, I started binging and losing my stamina. I talked to you about it and you told me to go watch the middle.
    I now watch that video at least once a week. It's revived my focus and got me back on track. Trolls are everywhere and unavoidable, but you are changing lives! Saving lives!
    People who are giving up WORLD WIDE are being motivated by you to turn their life around. The one in the lens you see yourself talking to is a terrible perception of the lives you are touching. Carla, you have done an amazing thing and you aren't keeping it to yourself. Thank you so much for your vulnerability and commitment to us. NEVER let ANYONE extinguish your light! Wear it proudly! ❤❤❤

I have tried so many diets, diet drugs, fasting, etc., etc. I saw one of your posts, and it gave me the strength I needed to start Bodyslims. I didn't lose as much as I had hoped, but I am going back in September, and I am excited about it. I feel good about myself agian. Please don't give up! We need you!

I enjoy making positive choices for my physical & mental health again. You help encourage us to be strong for ourselves. Most of us have no problem showing up for others for decades & losing ourselves.

I'm so glad to hear that you're looking to hire someone to be your comments "bouncer." You are worthy of the peace that comes from releasing all negativity. P.s. the purple dress and checkerboard skirt look AMAZING on you! Looking forward to seeing how you choose to style them. ❤

  • @juliette23

    I appreciate you! You were my biggest influence to start an ultimate weight loss journey after SO many failed attempts from such an early age. I felt chronically lonely in this, not knowing anybody around me who was morbidly obese (not that that's a bad thing). Your giving the timeline of your weight loss, making it comprehensive, emphasizing the fact that it's a long term commitment, made me accept what I had never accepted before: the time it was going to take. It's the last thing I hadn't tried; patience, one year of my life, understanding that I had put myself in a situation that couldn't be solved within 3 months. I can't wait to DM you the before and afters (I'm not quite there yet)! Lots of love from France xx

    It's Not OK. Exactly right, Carla. I'm sorry that you had to deal with that, but glad that you spoke about out in the vlog. In addition to being a great inspiration from a weight loss and motivation aspect, in talking about this you have probably helped young vulnerable viewers who are being trolled or bullied on social media. I love that you can talk about the things that aren't working for you and how you deal with them. Keep up the great work.

    I am grateful for being able to see how you make it happen! I've lost 115 lbs, and have 30 lbs more to be healthy. My doctor says that beyond that, it's just aesthetic. Doesn't every girl want to feel pretty?! That's why I love your posts because I can have hope even if the scale stands still. This isn't the first time that I've lost a lot of weight. You have helped me see that I won't relapse into poor eating habits again. My weight was an external symptom of an internal problem. I've come to terms with what "weighs" on my heart, mind, body, and spirit. I am lighter now! And when negative things try to creep in, I whisper, "Not today, Satan!" Again, thank you! I love you and what you've done for me.❤

    Thank you so much for being you. I don't really comment but I watch you all the time. You are so inspirational. Since watching you I have lost a substantial amount of weight, am caring for my skin and hair, am looking for clothes that I love instead of ones that just fit, and I am going back to work this coming week. You have inspired me to care about myself as well as my family. Thank you so, so much

    I agree with you. We need to stop tolerating trolling or abuse online or in person. The only way it is going to stop is when we all stop responding to it and delete/ block people who behave that way. It's unacceptable.

    💜❤️💜 Ah Carla I love the fact you have addressed this but now we can move forward and leave those nasty negative comments behind. I love seeing your progress and it's nice to see someone succeed unfortunately there are people that can't deal with people who do succeed. Loving your videos starting Bidyslims soon but I already feel part of the community.

    Just like you teach us to turn off the negative thoughts in our heads, the external ones must be muted too. I’m no so great at either, but the process should be similar 🤷🏼‍♀️. Many thanks for all you do to encourage and support. 😘😘😘

    I'm grateful for you and the work you put in for us! Sending you a big Canadian hug from Morbihan in Brittany! I look forward to seeing your videos, and have found you to be an inspiration - I'm working on losing a few pounds I've put on recently, and more, for health reasons. You make it easier. I must admit it's not as easy at 60 as it was when I was younger!

    I have only recently discovered you, and you have already inspired me so much. Please take care of yourself, and know that you uplift so many of us! F**k the trolls…hurt people hurt people, and only people who are miserable with their own pathetic existence want to drag others down with them.

    The same amazing thing that allows me to follow your amazing story (I mean, for real, when, where, how would we ever had the ability in the past to see a transformed life like what is happening to you!) is the same thing that leaves the door open for these ugly hearted people to say ugly things. And yes!!! Just block 'em!!!

    ❤❤❤ Carla, you have made a huge impact on SO many people, including me. I started my journey because of your help, encouragement, sharing of your life, which made me feel like I gained a friend, and being always transparent. Thank you. Thank you, with all my heart. Carla, life is full of trolls. As a fat person, those trolls are all around me in life. I think maybe the loss of weight may have caused your loss of daily life trolls, which makes the online ones draining, possibly triggering. By ignoring them you are able to keep doing what is important and impactful. That said, your mental health is just as vital. That said, take care of you. Take care of your needs. Only by looking to your mental and emotional health are you able to care for those you love and to do the things you love. There by impacting others with your best self. Love you. I will always be grateful for what you have done. It will continue to effect those who stumble across your content. If you choose to continue, after seeing to your needs, we would really love that and will keep supporting you. Which includes watching Noom comerciales, etc. lol xoxo Those ugly people don’t know you and have no place in your space. Banish them all, babe! Also, I too love Mindy Pelez. I have one of her books. Good stuff.

    Carla you've helped me lose almost 80 lbs! I am really close to the finish line. I've never been able to stick to it before, but having vloggers like you and seeing how great you look has inspired me to keep going during those frustrating times. I hope you are able to thumb your nose at the trolls. You are helping a LOT of people!
