AYOOO!! My name is Stephanie Buttermore and in a few words I am a fitness enthusiast but a scientist at heart!
Just obtained my Ph.D. in pathology and cell biology with a research focus on the molecular mechanisms that drive ovarian cancer progression. Hope you stick around! xoxo

So incredibly proud of you. Happy to be watching right now.
Cant wait for the settling point theory/fatness regulator hypothesis video!
Stephanie Buttermore we love you more than ever! You are setting an incredible example and I wish more fitness professionals would cut the bull and be honest about starving themselves! I was anorexic for 2 decades, so I knew how much it sucks to have a dysfunctional relationship with food and a fucked up body image. Keep going! You can do this, and we are cheering you on all the way! Do not be scared, it will all balance out.
Thank you so much for taking a scientific approach and for including the female-specific data as well! I’m an engineer so I love lots of info and reasoning! I’m proud of you and you are strong!
P.s. you are not just physically growing, which will settle down and your metabolism will adjust, but you are growing emotionally and spiritually! Thank you for sharing your journey with us❤️
“The more u control food, the more food will control you” so true.
Linda TN Exactly how I’ve started to feel now that I track macros and calories.
🤦♂️
Wow so so true!!
What??
@@kmarie8206 I hope you make peace with food 💛
anyone else think her face and body look great now? like, sis your weight gain is just making you more beautiful!
Peach lol I know 💯💯💯
yes
I’ve been thinking that aswell! Her face looks so pretty
I think saying "way better" is kinda mean but yea she looks great
I know this is nice, but I am exactly like her and weighed the same and have put on the same as her. I don’t feel good about myself and people tell me I look better but it literally drives me insane when people say that because I hate it if that makes sense
When i grow up i want a guy who supports me like that
Same
Jacqueline Granados rightttt so great how he treats her
He must be crying inside.
Nick I’m sure they equally talk to each other about how they feel. I’d imagine seeing his long term girlfriend overcoming an eating disorder made him pretty happy :)
@@nick9234 shut up
as a girl who experiences a lot of bloating, seeing you show your stomach bloating on the internet makes me feel so much more confident and comfortable accepting my own 💕😭
She doesn’t look bloated I’m bigger than that normal
Mel B I meant that after eating lots of food the stomach bloating is visible, im not referring to anything else
@@MelB868 she is at 0:13
Remember that you are gorgeous 💛

That’s just being either pregnant or fat.

HAUL well the good news is that nobody asked you. Because nobody gives a fuck about your opinion. 😇
It was an honor to be included in this video Stephanie! I know I speak for myself and so many others by saying how motivating and inspiring this was. Keep up the awesome work, it's so great to see you so happy!
You're doing amazing yourself Erik! I would love to see the entire interview Stephanie did with you, I'm sure it would be really helpful for many of us. Thanks for inspiring! x
I’m so happy to have you on my channel. I feel like you are a wealth of knowledge and can speak on so many topics. I would to have you on again 🙏
This is the only positive weight related video I’ve ever watched and not analysed myself after👍
I hear you!
Same thing here, that’s why I love Stephanie!
I‘m not really „hungry“, it‘s more of a craving that can not be calmed. After every meal, before every meal and even during I just think about food, when I will be able to eat the next time etc. People say „trust your body“, „feed these cravings and then it‘ll be gone“, but it never did. That‘s why I don‘t trust my body, that‘s why I count my calories and that‘s why I developed Anorexia and Orthorexia.
The world is so hard, be soft on yourself, take your time to listen to your body, it's a long journey, it's okay.
This is exactly the thing I’m going through for so long!! Also I think this trust issues with my body is why I keep being in this stupid eating disorder 🙄
wow I can relate w this so much & I’ve been anorexic for ab 8-9 months now? made me drop 70 lbs yet somehow I have more energy
@@mariahb1817 I know what you mean.. It wasn't only increased energy for me, but also increased motivation to move. (Well it could be also described as a feeling of obligation) Once I started to eat more I just felt so tired and drained. So many negative aspects (which over time disappeared as my body just had to get used to the healthy amount of food) really tied me down on my eating disorder and scared me to go further in recovery.. But it is worth it and now I no longer look scary, but many compliment me for my toned and finally curvy body! You got this and I believe in you!!
@@lorenaleeee wow it’s scary how much I relate to that lmao & tysm! 🥺💕
Who else almost cried when she started tearing up about her swimsuit😭😭😭 you’re SO beautiful Steph 💜
I DID cry! 😭 I know the struggle and can relate so much. She's so strong for sharing this journey!
Yep cried. Im there
L K 😭
L K yup, me right here 😭
I did tear up 😥
"the more you try to control food, the more food controls you" such a good quote for all of us struggling with our relationship with food
I’m diagnosed with and in treatment for anorexia nervosa and this is really lovely to see and so inspiring 💓 I never see positive videos about weight gain and it’s a really good change & I wish u the best !! 💞
Lauren Moore you are so strong!! Keep going, you got this!!💕💕💕
Sophia Bargnesi thank you ❤️
I can't imagine going through what you are going through. You are very brave and unbelievably strong❤️ you got this☺️
Robyn Smith thank you so much!! 💓
Lauren Moore I’m so proud of the work that you are putting into yourself! I hope you can reach a stage of recovery and feel vibrant and confident
“The more you try to control food, the more it would control you” damn this one hit me
I disagree tho. Depends on your mind set. Maybe its for those who struggle with extreme hunger. Ehhh i dunno
QeCy WineDoll I think what she means by that is that when you become obsessive over something you can become addicted to that control, so it intern controls you and your behaviour
Pooja kaur Kida
That only applies to people with eating disorders and she's a prime example of that cos she clearly has an eating disorder
Yeah I totally agree!
Kind of cried when I saw Stephanie cry ‘cause it was just a flashback of my own eating disorder and how I felt when I would gain weight
Xo Summers me too, I would feel so incredibly disgusted with myself. I feel like this Video has helped me in my recovery, which has been about 2 years long but I’m gradually getting better :), her enthusiasm about gaining weight and eating as much as she wants to has been really helpful to me! I hope you’re healthier and feeling better now :) xx
This comment made me feel even more motivated to stick to my doctors plan...
If you don't mind, I would like to share my story with someone.
I developed an eating disorder when I was entering HS (my profile picture is my last picture before I decided to lose weight and get fit -I was never overweight, just thought I wasn't pretty enough). After 3 months, I had lost over 20 kgs (no idea how much that is in pounds) and then one day I fainted while walking to my biology class. I thought I was just dehydrated, but I was hospitalized for months since my heartbeat was dangerously irregular and my weight extremely low. For the past 10 years I've been dealing with extreme hunger since I recovered from anorexia, but I won't allow myself to eat more than what I should even tho I am hungry ALL THE TIME. I am scared to gain weight, but maybe going All In will be the only thing that will make me free once and for all
I also understand that. ❣️
I'm in recovery from anorexia and this has really helped my mindset. Thank you thank you thank you! You are amazing x
I hope all goes well with recovery! you can do anything you put your mind to. stay strong! you are beautiful
Stay strong! Everything will be good❤️
my friend is 187 cm 55kg

Yes, fat fills the wrinkles.
Short term.
@@JAnx01 fuck off mate
@@JAnx01 not really dude, she gained weight but she's not fat. She's at the healthy range now, she used to be too skinny before.
Wow, I just can't emphasize it enough, THIS is quality content. I love your scientific approach on all your videos but I also deeply appreciate that you let us see you in a very vulnerable place. I went through this same situation from 2012 to 2016 and it was so rough. But the thing that was most difficult is that I felt like I was the only person in the world going through it. I was very involved in fitness and I feel like the knowledge damned me and saved me at the same time. I couldn't make any food choices in peace because I knew too much, but I also was aware that I was in a bad place and that things needed to change. I also didn't know that there was help for this or even a name because I've never heard anyone talking about it while I was on my healing process. I deeply appreciate you posting this because even after many years in recovery I sometimes judge myself. Thank you. Big hug and my most sincere support on your journey.
The one piece crying scene was so honest, thank you for leaving that in.
Yes it was so relatable 😭 I love Stephanie even more now
❤agreed
I’m sad about the comments about how she “still looks hot/fit/thin” this isn’t about looks, it’s about making peace with food, physical and mental health and letting go of the diet mentality and the idea of an ideal body.
You right, but maybe that kind of comments are just another modality that people use to support her...nothing rude, just their opinion which is great
Very true!!!! I need to have a better relationship with food. I have issues with my weight, like in my head.
Well, it actually is because the aesthetic part affects her when she feels down and a sincere compliment might be helpful when she is hard on herself. It's social media, you can say absolutely everything and remain anonymous but stopping for a kind message means you felt it.
I agree with Diana. Steph says she doesn't like how she feels or looks.... but we're saying she don't have to worry about that. So Imma keep saying. Steph, you lookin' great! :)
@@mcmuinorac5848 ah yes, you look great is different than 'you still look fit/thin' :)
This video is everything! everything! xx
wow Wayne here
I am a male who has dealt with an eating disorder for the past 14 years of my life and I find this video very inspirational. So, thanks for making this video and passing it along.
Wishing you strength and best wishes Mark
How are you getting on lovely Mark?x
@@mylittlelist Recovery is going well. Thanks for asking. ☺
@@markmartin8211 so pleased to hear that :) all the best onward..you got this!
@@mylittlelist Thank you very much! I had a major relapse two years ago, but I fought back without any extra help. Today, I am my strongest that I have ever been in my whole life. The things I am able to do with what feels like no effort is astonishing and so much more rewarding than restricting and losing weight. It's abnormal being on the other side, where I am no longer the lightest person in the room anymore, but it's also very liberating. :)
Jeff being a positive force in Steph's life is one of the most wholesome thing I've seen. Being physically and mentally healthy is so crucial. You're awesome. :D
Sudhanva Aghalayam I teared up seeing his support😭 he’s a blessing
It is not your six pack that keeps us coming back, but your SMILE! Love you!
Absolutely!!!
Lilla Benak agree
THIS.
YES YES YES YES!!!! SO true! We love you for you Steph 💖
WELL SAID and so true ❤️❤️❤️
crazy. I'm the opposite. when I overeat (even if it's healthy food, but definitely moreso with bad food) I just want to pass out and i'm lethargic and unmotivated the rest of the day. The most energy and the best I've felt physically was when I was eating at a pretty large deficit.
This is also my case. I feel better when I am in a calorie deficit. But everybody is different.
That's my case as well... even though I'm only a month in my weight loss process, I've noticed a huge difference in my mood when I'm on a calorie deficit.
Maybe it depends on whether you are underweight or overweight/what side you tend towards.
That might be because you are currently sitting above your body's happy setpoint? Your body knows what weight it's happiest at and it will normally drive you to get there, whether that is losing or gaining weight. Just a thought 😊
I guess it also depends on the kind of food you eat, she mentioned she was eating whole foods, and, at least in my experience, if I overeat it's because of fast foods or at least tasty, processed things
This is SO GOOD. “When the body feels SAFE.” I eat 2,500-3,000 every day and still stay within a 5-7lb range effortlessly. It DOES WORK!! I want to do a “what I eat every day” FOR REALS
This is currently what I'm eating as well.. hope it works
“The more you try and control food, the more food controls you” PREACH GIRL
No it doesn't. You can count calories and eat healthy and not develop disordered eating. Steph obv has other issues and an eating disorder and can't control herself.
@@emmak8688 and then food still controls you because you'll lose weight, it's still a valid statement
Eliz q Counting calories is unhealthy. It is so easy to obsess over numbers and develop an unhealthy eating mindset. Food is fuel not numbers.
@@Chrxstina it's really not. Knowing how much energy you are consuming is not bad for you lmao. I get people who struggle with disordered eating may not like doing it but for normal people who are into fitness and weightlifting, it's a great tool. Just because you or others struggle with your eating habits and may abuse counting calories doesn't mean every fucking person does to. Fucking get a grip on yourself. I you seriously get all triggered or whatever by knowing how much food you are eating then you need help. fucking baby
@@emmak8688 100% agree.
I know some youtubers who build their bodies to be strong and healthy and normal looking(check out kayleigh noelle and her BF,franny arrieta,nikki blacketter,whitney simmons) they count calories/watch what they eat but don't have an ED.
Stef totally has some kind of an ED.
Not sure what kind-but she has one.
Jeff is right. You definitely look more feminine and beautiful. I'm very interested in this concept and will continue following your journey. Much love to you Steph. ♡
Nothing “more feminine” about just gaining more fat, but she still looks good, and if she’s happy and healthy then good for her
@@HearMeLearn
actually there is
women actually normally carry more fat than men
I think that it's the soft body that makes woman look feminine
OMG THE ENERGY! When i was refeeding in recovery from my eating disorder, my parents noticed that I was singing again, and personally I felt sillier and wittier. I also found myself caring more about non-food related things such as books, movies, politics, etc. Thank you thank you THANK YOU for making this series. It's videos like these that make my recovery a lot easier to manage
you’re honestly the most mature person i’ve ever seen. you respect your body enough to do what’s truly right for it, regardless of what you might look like. you are such an inspiration. as someone who’s battled a similar problem - losing my period but actually completely losing my appetite - it’s really, really helpful to watch your videos. thank you for all that you do, Stephanie.
I’m so glad you put in that clip of you with your one-piece. It made me tear up because of how familiar and relatable that feeling is. It was so raw and real. Thank you for sharing your journey with us on such a public forum. I have so much respect for you.
Lainey Wilson agreed! ❤️
Yep, I loved that too!!
i teared up a little too
honestly relate to that clip so much
Same. That feeling was real as fuck.
When Jeff said “I think your face looks really pretty too” I melted
Wambui G me too! So sweet ❤️
"A backpack doesn't judge you when you get fat! A fanny pack let's you know" 😂 I laughed so hard
Dude, a few months ago I looked at the thumbnail and the “heavier” version of you made me afraid. Now I look at it and see that version as lean and healthy and the previous you as underweight. I want to thank you for changing my mindset.
I’m anorexic so this idea of ‘all in’ is so inspiring and basically opens up my eyes to the fact that my weight doesn’t affect how beautiful I am and as long as I love myself I’ll be happy☺️☺️ Thank you!!!!!!
Anaïs Liette S thank you so much for sharing! I used to be anorexic fir 2 decades and I totally understand where you are coming from! People like Stefanie are setting a great example of things possible.
Hang in there, recovery is completely possible!!! I wish you the best of luck ❤️
yeah same here, its very eyeopening for other opportunities!
Lovisa Andersson Urs! Life is way to short to starve it away! It took me 2 decades to realize that , but I am just glad I finally did. I wish you the vet best of luck
Anaïs Liette S I am too, but hunger doesn’t bother me, and I don’t have any cravings so I probably wouldn’t do this 😅😅
Have you seen Alice Olivia on RUclips? She went through it. Her channel - she - is so sweet and insightful.
I cried when you started crying about your bikini and Jeff was complimenting you cause I’ve been there before. Crazy how critical we are of our own bodies when others don’t see the flaws at all 😭
Tania L me too
aw I so agree with this
I cried too
Omg, I really felt that when she broke down. I'm so happy for her that she has Jeff in her life. I went through a similar process on my own and felt so worthless. It helps so much to have support from the people you love.
I fucking lost it
Well this is the dangers of the fitness community, promoting shredded ripped bodies at the cost of starvation and unhealthy relationships with food.
We need fat as much as we need muscle. As far as we know, fat produces and stores hormones and fat soluble vitamins. Too little fat can wreak havoc on bodily function. I know ☹️ not from fitness restriction, I just grew up not eating enough. Maybe it’s a eating disorder or whatever.
Well said
Ardissia redditProudlightskinblack horrible attitude.. food is precious and keeps u alive. it's not the enemy. and never will be
Ardissia redditProudlightskinblack no, bad habits are the enemy
I have like 42.5 percent of body fat so yeah I don’t worry about having too little.
Your body is unbelievably perfect after the weight gain and before, I personally prefer you after the weight gain, you look glowing and beautiful. I could only wish too look like you 😩
Seeing you cry about the swimsuit just broke my heart 🥺 Jeff loves you so much ❤️❤️ it’s about being healthy, none of that other stuff matters
omg same. i cried seeing her nose all rosy because you could tell she had cried. i got so sad, literally tears came to my eyes.
Cath ❤️❤️
I cried too. Because it was so relatable. It feels great to be able to eat unrestricted but really when clothes dont fit or I didnt look as good, I'd cry. I'm rooting for Stephanie and maybe I'll damn those diets soon too.
Made my eyes fill with tears. I totally relate.
The part in your one piece made me cry, Jeff was so sweet. He can't even see why you are insecure. You look so healthy now, I think that's way more important than being super lean and tiny!
I've never seen you before, but you seem like such a genuine and kind-hearted person. You deserve all the best.
Edit: I suppose I could add that watching this video came at good time. You put words to something I've been feeling for quite some time, and now I feel a lot better because I know what it is and how to deal with it. Thank you.
I cried with her when she was in the swimsuit. She's so gorgeous and beautiful the way she is and the happiness that she has gained looks beautiful on her❤️❤️❤️. She looks wayy better this way she looks happier and has a glow to herself.
As someone in the thick of an eating disorder, I respect the hell out of you for doing this. I dunno if I ever could reconcile positive bodily change with my dysmorphia
Stay strong! You deserve healing and love. If recovery is hard, that means it's working. Don't be hard on yourself, and listen to your body. It's okay
I even thought what you're thinking. The day you finally let go is the most freeing thing you'll experience.
I’m struggling in the same way
@@x.miisty someday, you will look back and be so happy about how strong you have been. Let's recover together! I know you can do it
Every girl should have a guy like Jeff! He is so supportive, kind and so handsome
Love you to together!
Jenny Granqvist for real 😫😫😫❤️
When he said u still look so hot i fucking cried like marry him 😭
we all need a libra
And I totally agree with him.. Your shape is so beautiful and yeah feminin.. You're awesome ♡
Until he runs off and cheats ...
that part where u got emotional about not fitting the same way in ur swimsuit got me teared up too, damn i know the feeling so well, the insecurity, the feeling that makes u think u arent loved or worth anything good anymore. i've been struggling with it for so long but then i got pregnant and when i realized its not about me anymore but its the baby whose nutrition and health is important, i started following my intuition, no more restrictions, no overeating, just adequate calorie and food intake that made me feel normal. i did gain weight which does give me breakdowns from time to time but my approach is much healthier cus im done being strict with food and i dont let it be strict with me. but we all have to be capable to handle this without getting pregnant lol, apparently i didnt love me enough to do it for myself, but my baby did open my eyes and gave me a completely different perception of priorities, so i wish u all to find ur motivation to be happy, healthy and satiated!
I gained weight, I got my period back, I don't thing about eating all the time anymore (still a lot but not always) and I even ate some pieces of chocolate today because I just felt like it ^o^ I am so much happier!
I don't weigh myself but I think I finally reached my set point. I am not completely out of extreme hunger but it is getting better and better. Eating industrial sugars is still a no go for me (at least not on a daily basis) and I am more into clean eating than eating a 100% intuitively but it's okay for the moment. I am able to do exceptions again and to enjoy food! A vegan diet is a very helpful way to me to feel comfortable cause I am doing something good for the animals and the planet. This motivates me and makes me feel happy with myself and my decisions. Also, my diet allows me to eat very big amounts until I am really satisfied without feeling bad about it. It just works out for me. Maybe you find happiness in other ways of eating. Good look, beautiful people out there.
Theathi good for you!! Keep it up 😃❤️
i am so so happy for you!! well done you are amazing
@@caitlin6404 You are soo sooo kind!
Now I think that may explain why I lost my period so young Because of my eating disorder
That bathing suit clip broke my heart. Stephanie, you are going to be SO glad you did this. Thank you for sharing it with us. This is seriously the best thing ever and I'm so glad you feel happy.
Danica Whiteman I agree with you!! She’s amazing!!! Thank you Stephanie!!!!
Not tracking calories was the best thing I ever did for my mental health. Just putting it out there.
Lani DHHG she needs to stop tracking
Are you a guy or a gal.. just asking.
Saaame!
If you don’t track your calories you can loose control easily, there is nothing wrong about tracking calories
Gabriela tracking keeps you in the diet mentality and you could never make peace with food or eat intuitively while tracking. As Stephanie or her guest said in her video the more you try to control food the more food controls you.
Omg, I know in your original announcement video about going all in that you were worried you’d be losing followers - but honestly, I started following you BECAUSE of your all in journey!! I just feel like you’re so brave for letting yourself be as vulnerable as you are in these progress videos. It’s super refreshing and gives so many people a different perspective into fitness. Adore you so much!! 💕💕💕
This is what RUclips needs, not another "How to lose 30 pounds in a week" bullshit.
You are soooo brave for doing this. Gaining weight is not easy for a women. But you look so beautiful and healthy. You are glowing girl!!!
Well its easy for me
ginger bread it’s easy for me as well haha
ginger bread I think they meant it’s not easy mentally haha
"Loving your body only when it's in perfect shape is like loving your kids only when they're well-behaved."
Who you are is enough, no matter what anyone else says! Love you so much, thank you for everything you're doing. ❤
Well said💚
I literally had to go back a few times because I just kept getting distracted by how beautiful you are 😭 currently on the recovery path and your videos are helping SO MUCH
Everybody: "Yo, have you done a Prolonged Fast yet?"
Stephanie: "Hold My cupcake"
When your boyfriend was saying how good you still looked I genuinely started crying like wow u guys are the sweetest
Oh please she is still super skinny
Fairly Cool omg I totally felt that too !!!! He’s so supportive and loving to her as a man should be. I’m in love with them together it warms my heart ❤️
Yea pretty sure he was crying inside too.
@@MelB868 Because of genetics. Not all women are naturally curvy.
Nick maybe that why you are alone.. girlfriends cry inside listening to you, maybe seeing you too..😬😂
I know this video is really old but I just wanna put this out there for people who are watching it late like me: I think I unknowingly went all in a while ago. For a very long time up until the summer/early fall of last year all I thought about was food. It controlled my entire day and when I had any spare moment to myself I filled that with thinking of my next meal, where would I eat, what should I eat, how much? And I would restrict and binge and restrict and binge and I was ALWAYS hungry because I'm 4'10" and society and people around me told me I should be able to live comfortably on 1200 calories or maybe even less a day. I was never not hungry. And then in the early fall of 2018 I hit a breaking point with my depression and anxiety and I realized that nothing that I did that I considered fun and for myself made me happy. So I quit the club I was in and I almost never went to class and I didn't socialize. I completely gave up. 100% gave no more poops. And I ate whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. The difference between Stephanie and me is that I don't cook or buy groceries very well and I hate veggies 😅 so I only ate fast food or microwavable food. I gained around 60-70lbs from October to the end of the year. And I experienced the, I wore this a week, a month, two months, whatever ago and now it doesn't fit and I HATED myself even more than I did before. The other difference between me and Stephanie is that I haven't reintroduced working out fully back into my life yet and a year has passed. I'm planning on making it a priority in 2020 because I now realize that this is a normal and probably good thing for me. That eventually if I work towards it I will reach my set point and be happy. Both through physical and MENTAL work. Don't worry guys, we can do this.
I just want to say, after gaining weight recently from medications, I briefly tried counting calories for the first time, to try to take back some control.
I made it about a week feeling really hungry, and stopped after remembering your videos and thinking “don’t mess yourself up, it’s not worth the problems it may cause down the road just to lose a few pounds. Your body will figure it out on its own”
I never thought I could feel so personally proud of someone I've never met. Just wow.
Agreed😀💚💚
Agreed! She is amazing!
Proud of what?
@@ryanp5826 I'm not sure either. Bravery? Something super first world problem-y.
@@ryanp5826 New generation moment
You look absolutely amazing. This is by far THEE most motivating and inspirational thing I have ever seen.
You are changing the “health and fitness” game. Thank you. Just thank you.
AMEN!
I am literally crying as I am watching this. My journey start in November last year and ran through July this year... I struggled in the first part of 2019 so hard after I plateaued +35 lbs above my normal and. I did it for similar reasons (hormones, hunger & cortisol) and I hated every second of it. I wish I had followed along through your whole journey but I applaud you so much for this. You are so brave and so strong.
This is absolutely AMAZING. Being a bikini competitor this is extremely helpful. And what really hit home is when you mentioned it made you almost feel back to when you were a child and didn’t think about the food being consumed, I often think back to those days and wish I could feel that way again! This is amazing!!!!!! Thank you again for sharing xoxo
“The more you try to control food, the more it controls you”, she couldn’t have said it better. I think that is just exactly how a lot of people feel, thank you Stephanie for sharing this journey with us; you are a total inspiration.
Got teary-eyed hearing Jeff’s kind and loving words. Just want to thank and recognize his role in your All-in journey.
Yeah I’m so happy for her. She was worried about her audience leaving when she gained weight. I would have been more worried about my boyfriend leaving lol
I was holding back tears when you mentioned having to buy new clothing.
Ive struggled with body image issues the majority of my life and I used to OBSESS about food/working out. Over the past few months I’ve tried to reassess my relationship with food/exercise and have opted to do what makes me feel best, meaning I’m eating more food (still struggling with guilt on that end) and only doing moderate exercise. I’ve gained weight and I’ve started to notice that the majority of my clothes don’t fit anymore, sometimes if I think too much about it it really upsets me. But I keep coming back to these videos to remind myself I’m not the only one struggling with this and it helps get me through the tougher days.
Thank you for the inspiration and for exhibiting such strength (and vulnerability). Wishing you all the best in your journey!!! ❤️
It’s so heartbreaking seeing how sad you were in that slightly too small swim suit, but thank you for showing. I remember buying a dress for a friends wedding and then when the wedding came around, it didn’t fit and I felt so awful. Thank you for sharing, watching you really helps my relationship with food as well ❤️❤️
“A back pack doesn’t judge you when you get fat. A fanny pack let’s you know” loool Steph 🤣🤣

most anticipated vid in history.
in all seriousness its the best youve looked. socially media puts pressure on women involved in fitness to have low bodyfat% which is unsustainable, dangerous for most
This is really interesting from an experimental perspective. For me, if I were to eat entirely whatever I wanted, with no regard to it's composition or nutrient density, for sure I would become obese. But you train so much that you might just find a happy medium.
Honestly though I think like most things the truth is somewhere between these two extremes. And yes, you're gorgeous either way.
Edit: I want to add that where you are at, at the time of this video is aesthetically amazing. I guess what I'm saying is I can see this idea potentially work, BUT, donuts and Oreos are where I become a skeptic. But it's a skeptic with love, only offering a counter-viewpoint because I really believe cutting out sugar is important, and conventional thinking of course plays a role here too. I try to have a sweet treat like once a week. And generally eat heavyish on training days/ try to fast casually or just with a tiny bit of effort. Idk I'm always pretty comfortable.
If you watch the video you can see all the food she is eating is whole foods, just way more than she would be eating normally... so not oreos and pizza everyday
HUGE PROPS TO YOU for continuing to go "all in"
I don't think my mindset is healthy enough to do what you're doing; I might have forced myself to stop at this point after a month; and you didn't stop. THANK YOU SO MUCH for doing this for yourself and sharing it for our benefit.
Girl I know it’s so hard to feel great about yourself when ‘gaining’ weight but YOU LOOK so alive and radiant with this weight gain! You seem so happy and it radiates through the screen!! Sending good vibes your way xx
Who else is crying like a FOOL through the whole video?!?!?! Goddamn, I struggle so much with body image too, babe. The bathing suit clips really got to me. I remember when you posted them to your story, I stopped what I was doing and just cried with you. ❤
Miranda Reads that clip hit really close to home for me too. I know that feeling, i’ve been that feeling so many times
Yes! Totally agree. I think every girl has had at least one moment when they try something on and it doesn't fit right and it just breaks you. Love how open and vulnerable she is 💕
Miranda Reads I agree! I was tearing up as well. I had an eating disorder for 2 decades, so body image issue is something I know all to well! Doesn’t it such, that along with all the other stuff we have to deal with daily, we feel so bad about our bodies at time?! Instead, we should be thanking them non stop for caring us around and allowing us to life a full life Screw body image issues, let’s learn to love and appreciate our bodies for all they do for us !
🙋🏽♀️ I cried too. Because it was like I was watching myself try on that bathing suit. I’ve done that, I’ve been there.
Wow! You don’t understand how much I needed to see this!! I was going through this hard stage of guilt and food and so much other things, but you have helped me so much!!! Thank you for your inspiration, your vulnerability, and your journey! ❤️
I love this!! Just proof that staying shreddy all the time is, in the long run, not realistic unless you're willing to make MAJOR sacrifices in your mood, happiness, energy level, and social freedoms like going out to eat with family or have drinks with friends. All sacrifices which can make a person miserable if extended for longer than maybe a couple weeks at a time. My bf is a competitive bodybuilder and is, truthfully (and sadly), kind of a nightmare when he's deep in the doldrums of show prep/keto/calorie restriction. He does this for about 4-6 months when he's doing a show. And he's like a different person. I always tell him it's like he turned the dial down on his personality from a 25 to about a 7. Very tired, irritable, and essentially emotionless for months. It's difficult as hell on our relationship, but I support him and will very much love him no matter what. I'm always grateful when he decides to take a year or two break from competing. It's like I get the full version of him back :)
Awww Jeff is soo sweet. Love how much he supports you 😭❤️❤️❤️
You look so much happier and healthier! It's amazing to see you like this, keep going girl! You're really inspiring ❤
Hi Stephanie! You inspire me so much in starting my weight loss journey. However, when I saw this video and your “ALL-IN” videos, I did actually realise that it is actually all about “BALANCE” after all. Don’t starve yourself, but still physically fit.
Love you Stephanie! From the Philippines 🇵🇭
I hope I can also come to that point wherein, my body will feel comfortable and I don’t have to achieve something to the point that I will starve myself.
I feel her pain when she's crying about the bathing suit. 😢😢😭
I would cry a lot too when I over eat or gain weight I really hated myself and I blamed myself a lot....after watching this a realized I’m not the only one going trough this!!!!thank you Stephanie !!!♥︎♥︎and if your reading this don’t be to hard on yourself♥︎♥︎♥︎!!
전전kookie you are definitely not the only one! I have been there! Recovering from an eating disorder or disorders eating is hard, but so worth it
전전kookie armmmy
Alex Gramby shut the fuck up
It’s okay to not be lean as long as you’re healthy physically, mentally and emotionally 💗
We love you & we got you Steph ✨
I agree 100%
Imo she is lean.
supimsatan
Yes she still is 😁
"I will continue eating the foods that make me feel my best and make me happy with no limitations" made me cry
Stephanie -you are so beautiful, positive and brave. I admire what you are doing and am on a similar path myself. Unlike you, I lack the courage to share my story publicly or (even with my significant other) but I am watching and learning from the sidelines. Thank you so much for your honesty in these videos and also sharing the science, Jeff's support, your gym routine and high/low points. Sending you positive vibes and gratitude girl!
me checking every 10 mins to see if it was up😁😁
Awwww!! I hope it was worth the wait! I worked hard on this one! 🙏
Same here!!!
To me, this process looks like an ED recovery process. Really similar to what I went through during recovery from compulsive/excessive exercising and restrictive eating. The re-feeding consisted of A LOT of calories a day under the supervision of a program (I was at an in-patient program because I couldn't do it myself). Now, I am able to eat intuitively and am satisfied at around 2000 calories a day. When I was in the re-feeding phase, I probably ate like 5-6000 calories and felt like I could still eat more. Not trying to label anything but I think Stephanie was dieting to the point where her body physically went into a state similar to what ED patients have. That's why she never feels satiated even with so many calories! So happy to see you go on this journey. You are crushing it. The other side is so much more beautiful!!
Whats ED ?
@@Inglescomgus eating disorder
I totally agree. A lot of things hit home for me in this, especially when she was talking about feeling kind of like a kid again by just being able to eat normally. I'm in recovery for orthorexia nervosa and can 100% relate to that.
Exactly what I thought too
Erik(who was in this video too) actually struggled with an eating disorder, in case you didnt know! He is quite inspiring, being a competetive eater now.
It broke my heart to see you get upset but I'm so proud of you and seeing you still carry on makes me feel really happy for you
You really did go all in and I appreciate you sharing this with us because there are SO many other women & men out here that can relate and needed this kind of information! ❤️
I was anorexic very recently and gained 15kg (33lbs) 7 months. This is the heaviest I've been (53kg I'm 152 cm) and some people think I'm fat but this is the happiest and most energetic I've been in years. I'm an athlete so this had given me even more motivation to set more challenging goals. It's so nice to see other girls out there that has gone through what I did.
Update from May 2020: my weight is still climbing and it's near 57kg now. Honestly scaring the shit out of me because I just keep outgrowing clothes and gaining a lot of fat. I think my long term hormone medication is screwing with my body. My athletic performance took a dip too and I'm always frustrated with myself. Anyone been through this too?
Anyone who calls you fat needs to stfu. You feel healthy and that's what matters most. You're doing great! Keep up the good work!
Yeah, it's not about weight or size, it's about what makes you feel better! It can be hard, but getting enough of what you need is important! It can be hard to deal with, especially when your favourite pants don't fit, which is what got me down a bit, but clothes can be replaced, and don't matter much. I've always had issues finding clothes, so nothing new for me. I still don't have a lot of energy due to chronic pain, but I'm getting somewhere, and mood helps a lot.
53kg for 152cm is actually perfectly normal?? not underweight but also not overweight in the slightest!
@@cuteboiji it's a normal BMI but in the higher range. It's also quite high for a Chinese person
Same im going through recovery rn and the energy is??? Amaxing??
Felt happy when I saw the notification. I clicked right away.
yay!!
some one same!
I went “all in” 5 years ago, and it changed my life, GOODLUCK!
I've almost never had a healthy relationship with food whether it be over eating or underrating or just not eating what is good for me. But recently lovely people like you and Linda Sun have really helped me pull it all together and I love seeing your faces because you guys are always so beautiful and you make me so happy. So thank you
It feels so good to watch a fitness youtuber who actually makes me love my body the more i watch her. You are seriously an inspiration and I love how raw and honest you are. I wish you all the best girl and hope you continue to succeed on this journey :)
In my opinion you look much better/healthier. You're energy is through the roof😂 Keep on going 💪🏻
She looks so pretty with weight gain it’s like some kind of gleam in her face
As someone who has been working out consistently for a year you were the first RUclipsr that I felt was really level headed, and real about diet and fitness. You have helped me with my fitness journey, and taught me that being fit is not necessarily about the way you look, but how you feel and you’ve proven that! So thank you, this is amazing!
Steph is so pretty it makes me want to cry
awwwwwwww 😭😭😭
Aldous Huxley thank you for your comment. I was not trying to say that I feel like I’m not beautiful or that I’m comparing myself, just saying that WOW Stephanie is gorgeous!
15:15 “you still look hot” JEFF IS SO SWEET AHHH
this honestly helped a lot with my struggles with an eating disorder, thankyou
I CAN NOT EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH. You're becoming/ maybe you are... my favorite you tuber, am you're such an idol for embracing social flaws. I'm so happy you recovered from your extreme hunger. I support you so much and you're someone I aspire to be.
YOURE CHANGING THE FITNESS INDUSTRY you are such a strong, powerful, beautiful woman!
I really don’t like to comment on anyone’s body however I’ve been following you for years and I think you look better than ever! You look beautiful, healthy and most importantly happy. Thank you so much for sharing your journey.
Angel Jones I totally agree ❤️
She’s still skinner than I’ll ever be.
Don't say that! Losing weight is not rocket science, believe in yourself.
@@maggiiee.l I hear you girl I've been there. Maybe you are eating too little. Maybe you should look into doing a reverse diet. Listen to your body and don't get so frustrated, eventually you WILL figure out what works for you. It's all trial and error.
@@maggiiee.l reminds me of a tv show called "secret eaters" ;)
@@maggiiee.l have you checked for thyroid?
@@maggiiee.l I think you reay should sheck your thyroid I was the same and turns out I have Hashimoto hypothyroidism disease. I was depressed you should search about it. And be easy on yourself your mental health is as important. Stay safe❤️
I want to recommend you. A lot of people would never take on a journey to gain weight even if there are health reasons or personal reason for the gain hence what you are doing is amazing. Really great role model for young girls.
