Don't try to chase the "high." Take it one day at a time. Find what triggers you. Write down how you feel daily. You can still order food, just order different food. Try to order a healthier version of what you usually order. Don't fixate on your old photos, they can be a trigger. work on more non-scale goals. Try not to isolate yourself, it's okay to not do it on your own. You have this.
Try working your way up to do water fasting. I lost a total of almost 48 pounds in less than two months. I had to do it in cycles though as the first attempt was a fail. What I did first was attempting to one full day without food just water. I ended up breaking my fast 18 hours in. At first I got headaches and felt low key dizzy because I guess my body was so used to getting fed junk constantly it wasn’t used to being empty.The next few days I tried it again and was able to complete 24 hours. Eventually was able to stair step my into doing 2,3,4,5 all the way to 7 days water fasting with just eating one lunch meal a day under about 1500 calories in between on the day I don’t fast. And this is all without hardly doing any exercise except the occasional 30 minute walk every other evening. As someone who probably never drank more than a bottle of water every few days I’m able to chug about a gallon of water everyday now I’m currently down to 164 and would ideally like to stick in the range between 135-140 lbs. fortunately now I can go a week without eating and have hardly any lust for food even when I cook meals for my family throughout the day.I built up enough mind power to resist the urge to break my fast. I haven’t felt off or dizzy like the first few tries when fasting probably because my body has adapted to fasting now. As of right now I feel like this is a better way of living. I feel so much better and I don’t have these crazy cravings for fast food anymore. I no longer have brain fog and able to think with alot more clarity and stopped taking my prescription for adderall for my adhd. I am by no means a health nut now but I used to eat at Taco Bell McDonald’s arbys chickfila etc a few times a day.. at my heaviest I was over 210 lbs and I’m only 5 ‘7 and I was on the verge of becoming morbidly obese. I hope I can keep the weight off
@@Elite_Employee I wouldn't recommend water fasting for anyone who is just trying to lose weight. It can lead to a cycle of binge eating and restriction.
You are not alone sis. I lost 45lbs while working from home, went back into the office, sitting all day. I’ve gained 50lbs. Just a set back. Have to find a new routine. Stay positive sis. 💕✨
Girl...same! I was slimming down looking goodt lol then once I returned to work on a full time basis those 50lbs I lost got found real quick. I sit all day and it's been a struggle to get back on track. Not to mention, the stress of my job causes me to snack too. Just started over so we''ll see
GIRL!! I lost 85lbs and gained back 100!! Ughhhh... I am currently back on track and now down 60lbs... I am so proud of you for making this video! You already know you can do this! I'm excited to watch your journey.
She is definitely not alone! I lost over 100 pounds pre COVID and gained it back and then some! So disheartening, but I can and will lose it again! We got this girl!! ❤️💪🏾
@@queenrainbaker2060 eat only protein and fat for a week and 0 carbs. All your waste will be pee. You gonna lose 8 lb of water weight (fat). You only got to work out if you eat a gram or more or carbs otherwise be lazy and enjoy the hack. If you got the hunger pains and got to eat a lot go buy 4 lb of shrimp and peel and grill eat it all day as much butter you want you going lose weight but you eat one g of carb your body going into storage mode
@@queenrainbaker2060 the first 20lbs I lost by not eating meat and no carbs (bread, rice, potatoes, chips, muffins, fries, etc). After that I just started eating less food in general. I eat out at restaurants and fast food every day, so I started cooking more at home. Smaller meals and of course no snacks
I am surprised every time I see my reflection. I still think I am in shape like I was my whole life until menopause during quarantine. Struggling daily to exercise and eat right, but just gaining weight whenever I lose a few pounds, I gain more back.
I feel like you being so transparent makes me support you even more. It took a lot of courage for you to come on here and tell us that you’ve gained the weight back. Keep going girl you have our full support 💕💕💕
you're so raw for making this video. I notice that a lot of weight loss RUclipsrs never make an update video afterwards and your transparency is refreshing. don't lose hope, it happens to all of us! I was 110lbs then covid hit and I ate my way up to 180lbs; you are not alone and weight gain/lose is a journey we all face :)
I was actually VERY worried about you!!! I was wondering what happened you. Idgaf about any weight loss or gain, I'm just glad you're still alive! 💚💚💚💚
I’m only 5 seconds in, I just wanted to say I watched your weight loss videos for the first time just a few days ago and was wondering where you were as of today. Girl thanks for coming on and being HONEST. I’m sure you will be able to do it again. We all fall off, we just have to get back up. You’re so beautiful! 💕
When you said that seeing the bigger you in the mirror and never feeling like that is you, I completely felt that. I’ve always felt the same way. When I finally lost the weight, I actually felt like I’ve always felt like I should feel. I’m back to that other place because I gained a lot of it back, but will be working to lose it again. Just wanted you to know that you’re not alone in those feelings and if you’re weird, then we are weird together❤️
This video was so relatable… the title really resonated. I’m not on a weight-loss journey per se but I am on a journey to build my savings and better my money management. It got to a point where I paid off 10k in debt, saved up almost 5k and was doing overall very well. All of a sudden my mental switched and I literally reversed all of my progress…. Now I’m back in debt with no savings. But I’m very grateful it happened and it showed me that I still have a lot to work on within myself. Wishing you the best. Life always ebbs and flows
I completely understand what you said about not seeing yourself the way you are.I even see myself at a healthier weight in my dreams,because I knew what I looked like when I was smaller.
100 percent can relate to this I need to become the version of myself I invision in my head don't even recognize myself in pictures with friends and family anymore
I want to thank you for your vulnerability and transparency. This is thee most relatable video EVERRRR!! I appreciate you. I lost 50 pounds and gained 60!! 😩 As a former fitness instructor, I’ve been ashamed to the point I get mad when people take pictures. I also get mad when people still know who I am under my mask lol … OMG .. has it been difficult this go round to release the weight? Not being aligned with who you’re supposed to be, I FELT THAT! Same!! Thank you for your truth, it allows those of us to do the same, maybe lol ❤️❤️❤️
People are right there with you. Trust me. I was getting sooo small then gained back 50 lbs, lost 20 of it and gained back some of that too. Something spiritually is causing this attack. But the good part is, YOU DID IT BEFORE. You can do it again and it will be better. Me also
whenever im not happy, with myself or life in general, it's always goes back to the spiritual. if I start over obsessing ab food or my body the only way I've ever gotten it to stop was praying that God would take those thoughts away, and he always does!! i just have to keep knocking I just said I prayer for you pretty! i hope you get everything in life you want 💗💗💗
I lost 70lbs and gained 90 back😫. I just restarted my journey in April and I'm down 20lbs as of today. Thankyou for sharing your story, we fall down but we get up!
Don’t be ashamed we all go through these times. You got this Sis you will get back on track. Convenience eating is a whole thing and the consequences sneaks up on you. Your not crazy, you see who you are supposed to be and you will get back! You got this, don’t diet just make lifestyle changes!
I’m seeing this 2 months after you posted this and it couldn’t have come at a better time. My weight loss came to a screeching halt after I experienced a back injury. Like you, I’d lost 60+ pounds and a ton of muscle. But once the doctors told me that I could no longer go to the gym, my eating went to hell in a hand basket. I doubt you’ll even see this but I’m hoping you got back on track and even if you haven’t, try not to bury yourself in shame and guilt. We will get back there eventually!
You're definitely not alone in this!! I actually lost 30lbs in 2019 between IF and just a busy lifestyle. My intention was to lose a total of 50lbs, but then I hit an extended plateau...which is when the pandemic hit, and I basically gained it all back by the end of 2020. And then I had to spend 2021 working on my mental health, but now I'm just beginning the next stage of my weight loss journey. My goal for this year is to drop that 30 again by getting back into my IF schedule, and hopefully some more intentional exercise. I know there's always ups and downs, but I appreciate your attitude!
Your story sounds very similar to mines. Lost a lot of weight before the pandemic. Just now recovering from a major depression caused by the pandemic 3 years later. Ready to get this weight back down through IF. How has your journey been so far? Best of luck with everything 🎉
Idk why this video made me emotional. Your transparency is so motivating and beautiful. You will reach your goal and your entire process already has and will continue to help others! Wishing you all the mental, emotional and physical strength that you need to continue on your journey! New subbie!
Yes, PLEASE share, we are ALL struggling to win this weight battle, It's just you are on line doing it ( So Brave) No need to be ashamed. Girl. thank you so much for being here for us!!!!
You definitely are not alone! 😘we have all been there! I’ve gained and lost same 20 lbs 20 times. So frustrating ! 😵💫🤦🏼♀️stay positive and you are so brave for updating I know that had to be hard. You go girl! ❤️you can get back on track.
Girl don’t feel bad, I lost 75 lbs from 2017-2018, got sick in 2019 and gained 100lbs due to a medication and the cardiologist would not allow me to work out. I still ate clean but started drinking soda. I’m back in the gym now, these 100lbs are coming off!!!! I may struggle but I’m focused!
I’m in my room feeling like shit because I’ve gained 30 pounds in quarantine and I still couldn’t lose it. It’s really refreshing to see someone so open about the struggles of weight loss.
Definitely needed this! I’ve not only gained my weight back, but gained an additional 24 lbs (the heaviest I’ve ever been). Hearing your story encourages me to keep pushing, stop living in the past, and where I’m at now is temporary. Thank you for being inspirational ❤️
Hearing your story and seeing the truth in your eyes and body language is insane. Thanks for this cause this journey ain't easy. Feels better to know you are not alone.
Girl, I found your video and this is so relatable. Like others, after leaving the office and having a routine and now been working from home for 2 years, I gained 50 lbs and it’s been a struggle. Having health problems and all. I’m finally getting it together and down 7 lbs. Small number but I know if I keep it up the numbers will keep going down. Keep it up girl, you got this!!!
This happens to the best of us, your honesty is helpful for people to know weight-loss isn’t always permanent. Keep at it you’ll get back down to your goal in no time. Proud of your courage to share
New subbie! Your ability to be honest and truthful is so refreshing. I can relate to recent weight fluctuations and so I’m excited to follow your journey !
I’m sure this happens to a lot of other people to. But now you know you have the capability to do it since you’ve done it before. I’m also on a weight loss journey. We’re all in this together.
Thank you for this seriously......I was feeling so alone. I lost over 30lbs last year June.....now I gained back the 30 plus 15 more 🥺. And I totally get what you mean about how you see yourself. I don't even know where to start now.
I'm really happy to see you back, I actually really appreciate you being real and letting us know what happened. I think a lot of people show their weight loss journey but don't show the slip up's or the battles they have to face. And as a young girl fighting weight issues, hearing you talk about gaining the weight back showed me that I'm not alone. And that even though it happened, it doesn't mean that you can't lose it again or that it's the end of the world. So I really thank you for this video! And We will continue to support you!💜
I’m actually trying to gain weight so I can’t relate but I wanted to watch to see the other end of weight change. I’m 16, 5’3 and I used to be 51kg but then I got down to 48kg when I got sick because I couldn’t eat my usual 2000 calories a day or lift weights. We got this girly 💞
I on the other hand I've never been above 45kg for all my life till now ..I'm currently 47 my highest 😅 and my goal is 50kg by the end of the year but m 21
Thank you for being so genuine and transparent regarding your feelings and weight. I feel the exact same way how you described how you are not feeling this is the best version of yourself. I’ve gain about 35-40 pounds since 12 years ago and I still kept a lot of my old clothes because I know all the weight I’ve gained doesn’t belong to me. For the last 1.5 months, I’ve lost 15 pounds. I’ve worked hard to loose the fat and I still have 20 more pounds to go. I believe that if we are determined enough, we will be able to be the best version of ourselves in and out.
I lost 60lbs and gained 40 of it back after depression and 2 funerals. I'm back down 20 after healing from everything that happened, sending my love to you on your journey ❤️
It happens to many of us. You learnt a lot by losing it and by gaining it. So you have all the information and experience. I believe in you. I have subscribed, cheering you on girl
i love how honest you are here and you are beautiful! Glad you had the courage to come back. When I attempted...tried to start my youtube channel I would never post videos of myself bc I was so self-conscious about my weight. I waited until I lost 30 pounds to post any videos talking in front of the camera :( lol I still struggle with weight..I was born with this rare disorder/disease called fibular hemimelia so it's hard for me to stay so active without pain and inflammation. I started a wellness practice for other women living with inflammation to help them too. Sometimes I still struggle with "imposter syndrome" bc who would want my advice when I have the same struggles!! but it was time to GET OVER MYSELF and show up. You do that well. Keep it up
I’m with you. I started losing weight in July 2021. I was almost 240, and felt just awful. I looked my absolute best in November 2021 weighing in at 203. I felt great and was on my way to being below 200lbs. Then, birthdays and holidays came and I ate all the cupcakes and heavy foods. I jumped back on the bandwagon shortly after and lost the holiday weight. Just last month (May 2022), I looked and felt really great. I don’t know what, but something triggered me and I gained so much weight- within a MONTH! I feel like a balloon. I haven’t gotten on the scale out of fear of what I will see. At the beginning, I thought I had this in the bag. But it’s so freaking hard, that sometimes I just cry. But I’m gonna get back. Now that I know I CAN do it, I just have to…do it. Bless you and thank you for being so open and vulnerable. Praying for your weight loss journey to be a successful and permanent one.
Kayla, I appreciate your honesty. Losing weight and keeping it off is not easy to do. Don’t give up. Believe in yourself. You lost weight in the past. You can do it again.
You are beautiful! Don't let this weight gain bring you down. I understand the weight gain struggle. No need to be ashamed of showing your gorgeous face! We got thus sis!
Let's appreciate how REAL she is! It takes a lot to courage and strength to do something like this.. It's not easy gaining back weight after you've worked so hard to get it off..And that's why we can relate to her cuz she is so inspiring.. Kayla you're strong! You're a queen.. Really appreciate you!👑💜🙏🏽🙌🏽
I’m so happy I came across this video. I lost 100 and gained it back over a span of 3 years. I’m back at the weight loss again. I’m down 30 now. This was something I needed to see. It’s okay to start all over again. You did it before and you can do it again. Thank you for sharing and being real. You got this!
I'm in the same boat girl, I lost over 60 pounds back in 2019. Then the pandemic hit and now I've gained it all back. It's honestly depressing but I know if I did it once I can do it again. Great video BTW, keep it up you got this.
I immediately said to myself "good job" sarcastically bc babbyyyy I feel you on this. I lost 100lbs in 4months (I did caloric deficit and ran everyday) and gained it all back a year later. Oops. Thanks for sharing your story. I def feel less alone on this.
Honestly I feel this word for word ! I came here just for the empathy plus my name is Kayla and I truly lost 30 and gained 60 and I’m trying my best to get to the mindset to wanting to loose weight , I stared mine by wanting to be more in love with me at 2019-2020 but like you I got happy and now I’m in a relationship and I’m struggling so bad to even appreciate my body
Thank you for your transparency. Losing weight and keeping it off is HARD- both mentally and physically because of our body’s set point. The back and forth of weight loss and weight gain is why I finally got gastric sleeve surgery. Don’t feel ashamed, what happened to you is absolutely normal. Wishing you the best on your journey ❤️❤️
I am so proud of you for having the courage to share this. I know how hard it can be to get in front of the camera and share something so vulnerable when you know others have "expectations" of you. I have full faith you will do it again and maintain this time. I am on the same journey and whew it aint easy lol
You‘re not alone, i lost 26lbs (pretty happy about it) and then started gaining back 11lbs. I‘m 2 weeks back on my healthy diet, 4lbs down so far. WE CAN DO THIS!!!
OMG Kayla! I was going to wait until the end of the video to comment but then you mentioned the pandemic and I can relate SO much. This kind of thing can happen at any time to anyone. For me, it had the reverse effect and I started eating more. I gained 30 lbs and now I'm starting over to lose the weight but keep it off and stay consistent. This aspect of it is purely mental. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
I just found you today for first time. And was wondering how you are doing with your journey.. I was 218 pounds ten years ago and I went down to 128. I gained a little bit off and on but never got back to 128 but I'm trying I'm about 148 right now I'm 61 years old so it's a little harder to get it off of me but I started walking and working out again and I'm going to do this and so are you
You don’t sound crazy. I feel the exact same way. I still envision myself when I was smaller. Ppl tell me to just accept the weight because I don’t look bad but it’s just not me. I don’t feel like myself. You look beautiful and I know you’ve got this. You’ve done it already.
Kayla glad to get an update from you! In 2020 I started losing weight lost 30 and stopped and in 2021 I gained it back plus 15.I am back on the journey.It is a journey and there will be many learning, relearning,lessons etc...I am sure you learned from your weight gain and it will help you on the next journey.If gou did it before you can do it again.
Thank you for posting this. I’ve been struggling with my regain for the past like 8-12 months and it’s been so difficult. I had lost 40 lbs. the last 10/-15 of it was during early covid. I’m up like 20 now and when I try to lose, I’ll get down 7 then crawl back up. Learning more about myself and trying to find my way again. Seeing this today makes me feel like I’m not alone. So again thank you for sharing x
Gurl I've had this happen to me recently I even gained an extra like an extra 20lbs on top of that we need to change our lifestyles but we also gotta look at our mental health too because I'm an emotional and a bordam eater and it kills my damn weightloss We can do it gurl welcome back x
You’re not alone , I got my weight down to 190 , gained it all back now I’m 240 again and setting new goals for myself. It’s definitely a struggle I don’t feel like myself , but I’m working to keep my weight off the right way this time . You’re not alone 💜
I can 1000% relate to that feeling of not recognizing yourself in the mirror. When I was heavier, I didn't see myself at large. I still look at videos from before I lost the weight and can't believe I ever looked like that. I always saw myself as thinner. Dont feel alone in that, its definitely common
Definitely been here! Best thing I learned about weight loss is to do the things you can continue doing long term/for life, lifestyle changes to help the getting it off and keeping it off. But you’ve done it once, you can do it again! 🥳
Girl we all do this!!! I feel like everyone i know including me who has lost weight has gained it back and the that experience is a big learner and we do better each time after. I'm serious you got this!!
Looka herrrrre them pandemic pounds ain't a myth.... it's hard af!!!! Keep your head up, start out with small, attainable goals. You are NOT alone ..... from 217 to 169 (prior to pandemic) and now back at 215..... chiiiiillle I get it got it DONE! Now, back at it again 🫡🫡 it's time ... and the emotional space makes a BIG ass difference. YOU GOT THIS SIS 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Your story sounds very similar to mines. Lost a lot of weight before the pandemic. Just now recovering from a major depression caused by the pandemic 3 years later. Ready to get this weight back down through IF. How has your journey been so far? Best of luck with everything 🎉
@@modernviewer I am wishing you the best .... as far as my journey, it's funny I'm reading my comment I made a YEAR ago when I was still in disbelief, but I am happy to say I have made it almost back to my regular weight ~170, and maintaining. It HAS NOT been easy but I just keep at it, fall off the wagon, get back on track as soon as I can. And yes, I learned the hard way that I have to HAVE TO keep my emotions in check as much as I can. That had a major impact to the process. Good luck to you 💪🏽☺️
Such an important Story! I feel like this could happen to everybody. I can also relate to this feeling of not seeing myself with my current weight in the future. Thanks for sharing☀️🙌
To truly master weightloss it's not just about watching the scale and clothing size go down... it's about mastering nutrition and your psychological relationship with food. A support group and licensed psychologist might be needed.
I’ve lost 77lbs but have slowed over the past few months, definitely worried about yo-yoing back up. I see a therapist but have been thinking about finding a support group not related to my gym. Any tips on how to find one? Thanks for your comment lucky
I imagine willpower and discipline like a rubber band. It can stretch and stretch, but eventually it'll reach as far as it can reach and either snap or stagnate. I've been worried that I'll reach my goals only to regress when I can't hold it no more. So I get how you're feeling after losing your progress. But you really have nothing to be ashamed of. This is a hard road to traverse. Lots of people don't even try. You've not only tried, made lots of progress, but you've shared it with the world. That's admirable. Especially since you're sharing the blunders too. I have so much respect for you getting on here and sharing that even though you were embarrassed. I'm rooting for you and look forward to walking this path with you. I see myself as smaller too. No idea if it counts as body dysmorphia. But I want to be the girl in my head, not the mirror. Time for some self-actualization.
Happy to see you back Kayla and hey things happen we hit a rough patch just don’t let that rough patch define you as a person. 💕 PS: can you do a tutorial on you hair it so pretty.
I appreciate you so much for this video, I've gone through the same thing. I went through as much as you did in terms of being in a difficult headspace when gaining weight back. Doesn't change the fact that I enjoyed parts of my weight loss journey regardless if I gained it back. Exercise really makes you feel good, going on walks, almost all stomach issues I had diminished. I want to get it back to it without the intention of weight loss. To remember to do what is good for your wellness, and integrating habits in your life that is good for you. I'm happy you found the courage to post again, and know that there's nothing to be scared of. You are genuinely so beautiful, I hope nothing gets in your way from seeing that!
I felt the exact same way and picked up a lot of bad habits prior to gaining weight aswell and they are so hard to stop, it’s a journey but we’ll get through it 🙏🏾 love from Ireland x
Pretty much everyone here understands & relates to this struggle & we have soo much respect for your honesty & transparency. We stand with you❤️ let’s do it together ❤️❤️ New subbie!
Kayla - don’t worry girl - everyone has struggled & gone up and down. WE ARE HUMAN - which means NOT PERFECT. Just call for a new start, because we know you can do. Thank you for being humble & sharing with others. YOU HAVE SO MANY CHEERING YOU ON!🥳
I started out at 252, got down to 193 at my lowest, and now I keep yo-yoing up and down, hovering at 210 consistently. It’s super hard to stay on track for me because I looooooove food, in the most unhealthy kind of way. I finally just had to say to myself, “if you want to live, act like it” and that was a wake up call. Thank you for your honestly and vulnerability.
So I completely agree with not recognizing your own body… I see pics or days I look in the mirror and can’t believe it’s me. I was watching a movie and there are 2 woman talking, another woman walks by and one of the woman goes ‘is that my body?’ And I related to that so much! I would love to hear more about your journey, I’ve struggled with my weight my whole life and about to start a sugar free challenge.
Omgggg everything you said about not feeling like yourself and it’s not you I COMPLETELY understand!!! And I like what you said about the quote saying that when your not happy your not aligned with who your supposed to be
i remember the first time i saw your videos, you were doing hair I think, you are a very beautiful person. I can tell you have a very beautiful spirit. You can do it. You just have to stick with it.
It's ok. It happens. I lost 35 pounds and it all came back (and a little more) during the pandemic. I freaked out when I weighed myself and I was 170. I can completely relate to not recognizing yourself in pictures. It's awful. You can do it :)
This video just popped up in my feed. You are beautiful and human. I too started my weight loss journey in 2020 after becoming a widow. Allow yourself grace, and regroup and continue on your journey. That's what I am doing. Thank you for sharing and encouraging others.
I can relate to not believing that that’s you in the mirror or when you see pics. I gained over 100 lbs and I am in the process of starting another weight loss journey. I can’t fathom that I’ve gained all this weight and I still picture myself as smaller. Thanks for being transparent and sharing. Whoever is on this journey…we got this!
I feel you I lost 40 lbs. I had what I would have said a breakdown mentally from work and family stress started gaining. Then shortly after a new relationship and a baby. I gained what I had plus picked up an extra 40. I had never been that large and moving felt different.
I have been here. I am still here in this space. Sharing this video and being so open about where you’re at makes me feel less alone and stuck in this journey! My body dysmorphia has me thinking I’m 50 lbs lighter. I have adhd and have been diagnosed with clinical depression and mentality has been a b-word to wrangle in and maintain. I realized the words discipline and diet were not working for me so I changed it for myself to method and nutrition. Following a method makes it easier for my brain to understand it’s not immediate results and it takes time to build. Choosing nutrition over diet makes it easier for me to make better choices in general and also riding out the wave of cravings (also recovering from an eating disorder) and not always restricting my cravings has been what is getting me to a place where I am happier in my body. I’ve also not focused on a weight goal and more of a strength and endurance goal. This is so hard. But I think mentality is incredibly important and so much harder to maintain than we openly talk about. Def subscribing to follow you on this journey. Much love!
You are not alone my darling. I lost weight before and gained it back again. In the process of loosing again. Maintenance is a nightmare, don’t worry, we in the same boat. The most important thing is not to give up and keep on doing it all over again🤗❤️
Girl SERIOUSLY props to you , you being so raw , every single person goes through these things and you have nothing to be ashamed for your body merely carries your spirit and what’s shining through is your strength , rawness , vulnerability, makes your soul one of a kind and your beauty reflects such and is clearly beaming thorough. Your so gorgeous both inside and out never feel otherwise!!!!❕
I am just BLOWN AWAY by all of you sharing your stories and all of the love and support, thank you😭❤
Don't try to chase the "high." Take it one day at a time. Find what triggers you. Write down how you feel daily. You can still order food, just order different food. Try to order a healthier version of what you usually order.
Don't fixate on your old photos, they can be a trigger.
work on more non-scale goals.
Try not to isolate yourself, it's okay to not do it on your own.
You have this.
Try working your way up to do water fasting. I lost a total of almost 48 pounds in less than two months. I had to do it in cycles though as the first attempt was a fail.
What I did first was attempting to one full day without food just water. I ended up breaking my fast 18 hours in. At first I got headaches and felt low key dizzy because I guess my body was so used to getting fed junk constantly it wasn’t used to being empty.The next few days I tried it again and was able to complete 24 hours. Eventually was able to stair step my into doing 2,3,4,5 all the way to 7 days water fasting with just eating one lunch meal a day under about 1500 calories in between on the day I don’t fast. And this is all without hardly doing any exercise except the occasional 30 minute walk every other evening. As someone who probably never drank more than a bottle of water every few days I’m able to chug about a gallon of water everyday now I’m currently down to 164 and would ideally like to stick in the range between 135-140 lbs. fortunately now I can go a week without eating and have hardly any lust for food even when I cook meals for my family throughout the day.I built up enough mind power to resist the urge to break my fast. I haven’t felt off or dizzy like the first few tries when fasting probably because my body has adapted to fasting now.
As of right now I feel like this is a better way of living. I feel so much better and I don’t have these crazy cravings for fast food anymore. I no longer have brain fog and able to think with alot more clarity and stopped taking my prescription for adderall for my adhd.
I am by no means a health nut now but I used to eat at Taco Bell McDonald’s arbys chickfila etc a few times a day.. at my heaviest I was over 210 lbs and I’m only 5 ‘7 and I was on the verge of becoming morbidly obese. I hope I can keep the weight off
@@Elite_Employee I wouldn't recommend water fasting for anyone who is just trying to lose weight. It can lead to a cycle of binge eating and restriction.
I can’t even lose 1 pound
Why dont you focus on having good healthy breakfast and dinner, I advice you to seek professional.
Losing weight is hard BUT keeping it off is harder! 😩
SO HARD😓😓
Yes😭 this is me right now😭 and I feel insecure asfff
I thought I was the only person who felt like this. 😩
I've always said this.
I’m struggling with just the first part damn 😭
Girl I lost 50 and gained 105! 😑 I’m 20 pounds down so far.. we got this! We lost the weight once and we can do it again
Absolutely!❤
You got this Kye! Don’t give up. One step at. Time. 🎉👏🏾🙌🏾
Wow. How did that happen and over how long?
How did you gain 105 pounds and how long? Did you take a shot? That happened to my sister but she took some weight loss injections.
Great job! Inspiring
You are not alone sis. I lost 45lbs while working from home, went back into the office, sitting all day. I’ve gained 50lbs.
Just a set back. Have to find a new routine. Stay positive sis. 💕✨
Ha, I’m just the opposite. I had lost 30, and gained it all back while working from home. #weGotThis! 👍🏽
I did the EXACT same thing Amanda!
Girl...same! I was slimming down looking goodt lol then once I returned to work on a full time basis those 50lbs I lost got found real quick. I sit all day and it's been a struggle to get back on track. Not to mention, the stress of my job causes me to snack too. Just started over so we''ll see
Control control control...you must make workout a lifestyle not sporadic...
@@iveylock7982 yep
GIRL!! I lost 85lbs and gained back 100!! Ughhhh... I am currently back on track and now down 60lbs... I am so proud of you for making this video! You already know you can do this! I'm excited to watch your journey.
What did you eat to loose the weight??
She is definitely not alone! I lost over 100 pounds pre COVID and gained it back and then some! So disheartening, but I can and will lose it again! We got this girl!! ❤️💪🏾
@@queenrainbaker2060 eat only protein and fat for a week and 0 carbs. All your waste will be pee. You gonna lose 8 lb of water weight (fat). You only got to work out if you eat a gram or more or carbs otherwise be lazy and enjoy the hack. If you got the hunger pains and got to eat a lot go buy 4 lb of shrimp and peel and grill eat it all day as much butter you want you going lose weight but you eat one g of carb your body going into storage mode
@@queenrainbaker2060 the first 20lbs I lost by not eating meat and no carbs (bread, rice, potatoes, chips, muffins, fries, etc). After that I just started eating less food in general. I eat out at restaurants and fast food every day, so I started cooking more at home. Smaller meals and of course no snacks
I lost 35 pounds and then Covid hit and I gained 60. I really needed this video.
I can REALLY relate to this. I still see myself 50 pounds lighter than I am, and it’s not until I see a photo of myself that I’m gutted.
Lol I know that feeling. I still feel like my pre baby size and then I see photos and feel like 😱! Working on it but it's so slow 🐌
Same here !! It’s so crazy
Same.
I am surprised every time I see my reflection. I still think I am in shape like I was my whole life until menopause during quarantine. Struggling daily to exercise and eat right, but just gaining weight whenever I lose a few pounds, I gain more back.
I so relate to this as well, and I love taking pics, but it was when I really saw the extra weight I gained back....ahh, challenging
I feel like you being so transparent makes me support you even more. It took a lot of courage for you to come on here and tell us that you’ve gained the weight back. Keep going girl you have our full support 💕💕💕
Thank you so much!!🤍
@@KaylaJayxo I hope you see my previous comment .... I'll say it 1000 times ... you are not alone, and you got this 💪🏽💪🏽
you're so raw for making this video. I notice that a lot of weight loss RUclipsrs never make an update video afterwards and your transparency is refreshing. don't lose hope, it happens to all of us! I was 110lbs then covid hit and I ate my way up to 180lbs; you are not alone and weight gain/lose is a journey we all face :)
I was actually VERY worried about you!!! I was wondering what happened you. Idgaf about any weight loss or gain, I'm just glad you're still alive! 💚💚💚💚
I NEVER wanted anyone to worry😭😭 I feel so bad, thank you for your support it means so much❤️️
@@KaylaJayxo 💚💚💚
I’m only 5 seconds in, I just wanted to say I watched your weight loss videos for the first time just a few days ago and was wondering where you were as of today. Girl thanks for coming on and being HONEST. I’m sure you will be able to do it again. We all fall off, we just have to get back up. You’re so beautiful! 💕
Thank you!!💕
Very real of her to make this kind of video
Agreed. I respect this video 100%
When you said that seeing the bigger you in the mirror and never feeling like that is you, I completely felt that. I’ve always felt the same way. When I finally lost the weight, I actually felt like I’ve always felt like I should feel. I’m back to that other place because I gained a lot of it back, but will be working to lose it again. Just wanted you to know that you’re not alone in those feelings and if you’re weird, then we are weird together❤️
Proud to see to you back sis! No matter the setback you got this! Im on this journey with you!!! God first and the rest will fall in place!
Thank you so much 🤍
Amen!
This video was so relatable… the title really resonated. I’m not on a weight-loss journey per se but I am on a journey to build my savings and better my money management. It got to a point where I paid off 10k in debt, saved up almost 5k and was doing overall very well. All of a sudden my mental switched and I literally reversed all of my progress…. Now I’m back in debt with no savings. But I’m very grateful it happened and it showed me that I still have a lot to work on within myself. Wishing you the best. Life always ebbs and flows
I completely understand what you said about not seeing yourself the way you are.I even see myself at a healthier weight in my dreams,because I knew what I looked like when I was smaller.
100 percent can relate to this I need to become the version of myself I invision in my head don't even recognize myself in pictures with friends and family anymore
I want to thank you for your vulnerability and transparency. This is thee most relatable video EVERRRR!! I appreciate you. I lost 50 pounds and gained 60!! 😩 As a former fitness instructor, I’ve been ashamed to the point I get mad when people take pictures. I also get mad when people still know who I am under my mask lol …
OMG .. has it been difficult this go round to release the weight? Not being aligned with who you’re supposed to be, I FELT THAT! Same!! Thank you for your truth, it allows those of us to do the same, maybe lol ❤️❤️❤️
Who is taking pictures?? Why can't people know who you are after the weight gain??
@@queencupcake09 I never saw this question.. for “me”, it was out of embarrassment, pain. It feels like failure unfortunately
People are right there with you. Trust me. I was getting sooo small then gained back 50 lbs, lost 20 of it and gained back some of that too. Something spiritually is causing this attack. But the good part is, YOU DID IT BEFORE. You can do it again and it will be better. Me also
YES!! We can do this!
whenever im not happy, with myself or life in general, it's always goes back to the spiritual.
if I start over obsessing ab food or my body the only way I've ever gotten it to stop was praying that God would take those thoughts away, and he always does!! i just have to keep knocking
I just said I prayer for you pretty! i hope you get everything in life you want 💗💗💗
I lost 70lbs and gained 90 back😫. I just restarted my journey in April and I'm down 20lbs as of today. Thankyou for sharing your story, we fall down but we get up!
Don’t be ashamed we all go through these times. You got this Sis you will get back on track. Convenience eating is a whole thing and the consequences sneaks up on you. Your not crazy, you see who you are supposed to be and you will get back! You got this, don’t diet just make lifestyle changes!
Thank you so much 😭🤍🤍
I’m seeing this 2 months after you posted this and it couldn’t have come at a better time. My weight loss came to a screeching halt after I experienced a back injury. Like you, I’d lost 60+ pounds and a ton of muscle. But once the doctors told me that I could no longer go to the gym, my eating went to hell in a hand basket. I doubt you’ll even see this but I’m hoping you got back on track and even if you haven’t, try not to bury yourself in shame and guilt. We will get back there eventually!
You're definitely not alone in this!! I actually lost 30lbs in 2019 between IF and just a busy lifestyle. My intention was to lose a total of 50lbs, but then I hit an extended plateau...which is when the pandemic hit, and I basically gained it all back by the end of 2020. And then I had to spend 2021 working on my mental health, but now I'm just beginning the next stage of my weight loss journey. My goal for this year is to drop that 30 again by getting back into my IF schedule, and hopefully some more intentional exercise. I know there's always ups and downs, but I appreciate your attitude!
Your story sounds very similar to mines. Lost a lot of weight before the pandemic. Just now recovering from a major depression caused by the pandemic 3 years later. Ready to get this weight back down through IF. How has your journey been so far? Best of luck with everything 🎉
Idk why this video made me emotional. Your transparency is so motivating and beautiful. You will reach your goal and your entire process already has and will continue to help others! Wishing you all the mental, emotional and physical strength that you need to continue on your journey! New subbie!
Thank you so much😭🥰
Yes, PLEASE share, we are ALL struggling to win this weight battle, It's just you are on line doing it ( So Brave) No need to be ashamed. Girl. thank you so much for being here for us!!!!
You definitely are not alone! 😘we have all been there! I’ve gained and lost same 20 lbs 20 times. So frustrating ! 😵💫🤦🏼♀️stay positive and you are so brave for updating I know that had to be hard. You go girl! ❤️you can get back on track.
Girl don’t feel bad, I lost 75 lbs from 2017-2018, got sick in 2019 and gained 100lbs due to a medication and the cardiologist would not allow me to work out. I still ate clean but started drinking soda. I’m back in the gym now, these 100lbs are coming off!!!! I may struggle but I’m focused!
I’m in my room feeling like shit because I’ve gained 30 pounds in quarantine and I still couldn’t lose it. It’s really refreshing to see someone so open about the struggles of weight loss.
Definitely needed this! I’ve not only gained my weight back, but gained an additional 24 lbs (the heaviest I’ve ever been). Hearing your story encourages me to keep pushing, stop living in the past, and where I’m at now is temporary. Thank you for being inspirational ❤️
I lost 90 lbs a few years ago and ended up gaining 100 back 🤦🏼♀️ Now I’m a month into my new calorie deficit and down 18 lbs.
try intermittent fasting and low carb diet and weight training
@@lilliekeisha Thanks for the advice! I’m down 30 so far with low carb and calorie deficit 🙂
Girl thanks for sharing, I lost 70 pounds and gained them all back at more. I get how you feel💕
Welcome back beautiful ❤ Nothing to be ashamed of, I'm so happy to see you again! You are a blessing, thank you!!
Thank you so much😭🤍🤍
Hearing your story and seeing the truth in your eyes and body language is insane. Thanks for this cause this journey ain't easy. Feels better to know you are not alone.
Girl, I found your video and this is so relatable. Like others, after leaving the office and having a routine and now been working from home for 2 years, I gained 50 lbs and it’s been a struggle. Having health problems and all. I’m finally getting it together and down 7 lbs. Small number but I know if I keep it up the numbers will keep going down. Keep it up girl, you got this!!!
Congratulations on losing 7lbs 🥳🥳🥳
This happens to the best of us, your honesty is helpful for people to know weight-loss isn’t always permanent. Keep at it you’ll get back down to your goal in no time. Proud of your courage to share
Thank you so much 🥹🤍
@@KaylaJayxo thank you 🙏 😊
New subbie! Your ability to be honest and truthful is so refreshing. I can relate to recent weight fluctuations and so I’m excited to follow your journey !
I’m sure this happens to a lot of other people to. But now you know you have the capability to do it since you’ve done it before. I’m also on a weight loss journey. We’re all in this together.
lol l
Thank you for this seriously......I was feeling so alone. I lost over 30lbs last year June.....now I gained back the 30 plus 15 more 🥺. And I totally get what you mean about how you see yourself. I don't even know where to start now.
My story! But been back on track and lost 26 so far
I'm really happy to see you back, I actually really appreciate you being real and letting us know what happened. I think a lot of people show their weight loss journey but don't show the slip up's or the battles they have to face. And as a young girl fighting weight issues, hearing you talk about gaining the weight back showed me that I'm not alone. And that even though it happened, it doesn't mean that you can't lose it again or that it's the end of the world. So I really thank you for this video! And We will continue to support you!💜
I’m actually trying to gain weight so I can’t relate but I wanted to watch to see the other end of weight change. I’m 16, 5’3 and I used to be 51kg but then I got down to 48kg when I got sick because I couldn’t eat my usual 2000 calories a day or lift weights. We got this girly 💞
I on the other hand I've never been above 45kg for all my life till now ..I'm currently 47 my highest 😅 and my goal is 50kg by the end of the year but m 21
Thank you for being so genuine and transparent regarding your feelings and weight.
I feel the exact same way how you described how you are not feeling this is the best version of yourself.
I’ve gain about 35-40 pounds since 12 years ago and I still kept a lot of my old clothes because I know all the weight I’ve gained doesn’t belong to me.
For the last 1.5 months, I’ve lost 15 pounds. I’ve worked hard to loose the fat and I still have 20 more pounds to go.
I believe that if we are determined enough, we will be able to be the best version of ourselves in and out.
I lost 60lbs and gained 40 of it back after depression and 2 funerals. I'm back down 20 after healing from everything that happened, sending my love to you on your journey ❤️
It happens to many of us. You learnt a lot by losing it and by gaining it. So you have all the information and experience. I believe in you. I have subscribed, cheering you on girl
i love how honest you are here and you are beautiful! Glad you had the courage to come back. When I attempted...tried to start my youtube channel I would never post videos of myself bc I was so self-conscious about my weight. I waited until I lost 30 pounds to post any videos talking in front of the camera :( lol I still struggle with weight..I was born with this rare disorder/disease called fibular hemimelia so it's hard for me to stay so active without pain and inflammation. I started a wellness practice for other women living with inflammation to help them too. Sometimes I still struggle with "imposter syndrome" bc who would want my advice when I have the same struggles!! but it was time to GET OVER MYSELF and show up. You do that well. Keep it up
I’m with you. I started losing weight in July 2021. I was almost 240, and felt just awful. I looked my absolute best in November 2021 weighing in at 203. I felt great and was on my way to being below 200lbs. Then, birthdays and holidays came and I ate all the cupcakes and heavy foods. I jumped back on the bandwagon shortly after and lost the holiday weight. Just last month (May 2022), I looked and felt really great. I don’t know what, but something triggered me and I gained so much weight- within a MONTH! I feel like a balloon. I haven’t gotten on the scale out of fear of what I will see. At the beginning, I thought I had this in the bag. But it’s so freaking hard, that sometimes I just cry. But I’m gonna get back. Now that I know I CAN do it, I just have to…do it. Bless you and thank you for being so open and vulnerable. Praying for your weight loss journey to be a successful and permanent one.
I know how you feel sis. I’m still struggling to even loose 5 pounds 😩. You look beautiful 🤩
Kayla, I appreciate your honesty. Losing weight and keeping it off is not easy to do. Don’t give up. Believe in yourself. You lost weight in the past. You can do it again.
Weight gain or not I’m just happy you’re back! I enjoy your vids and honestly was worried about you. 💚
Thank you❤
You are beautiful! Don't let this weight gain bring you down. I understand the weight gain struggle. No need to be ashamed of showing your gorgeous face! We got thus sis!
Let's appreciate how REAL she is! It takes a lot to courage and strength to do something like this.. It's not easy gaining back weight after you've worked so hard to get it off..And that's why we can relate to her cuz she is so inspiring.. Kayla you're strong! You're a queen.. Really appreciate you!👑💜🙏🏽🙌🏽
I’m so happy I came across this video. I lost 100 and gained it back over a span of 3 years. I’m back at the weight loss again. I’m down 30 now. This was something I needed to see. It’s okay to start all over again. You did it before and you can do it again. Thank you for sharing and being real. You got this!
I'm in the same boat girl, I lost over 60 pounds back in 2019. Then the pandemic hit and now I've gained it all back. It's honestly depressing but I know if I did it once I can do it again.
Great video BTW, keep it up you got this.
I immediately said to myself "good job" sarcastically bc babbyyyy I feel you on this. I lost 100lbs in 4months (I did caloric deficit and ran everyday) and gained it all back a year later. Oops. Thanks for sharing your story. I def feel less alone on this.
Honestly I feel this word for word ! I came here just for the empathy plus my name is Kayla and I truly lost 30 and gained 60 and I’m trying my best to get to the mindset to wanting to loose weight , I stared mine by wanting to be more in love with me at 2019-2020 but like you I got happy and now I’m in a relationship and I’m struggling so bad to even appreciate my body
Thank you for your transparency. Losing weight and keeping it off is HARD- both mentally and physically because of our body’s set point. The back and forth of weight loss and weight gain is why I finally got gastric sleeve surgery. Don’t feel ashamed, what happened to you is absolutely normal. Wishing you the best on your journey ❤️❤️
I never watched your weight loss videos but this is so helpful. This motivates me because it’s a reminder that life is a Journey. Continue on girl!💕
Beautifully stated. ❤
I am so proud of you for having the courage to share this. I know how hard it can be to get in front of the camera and share something so vulnerable when you know others have "expectations" of you. I have full faith you will do it again and maintain this time. I am on the same journey and whew it aint easy lol
We’re all here to support you. Don’t get too hard on yourself sweetheart, this body has done so much for you. Just take it one step at a time
You‘re not alone, i lost 26lbs (pretty happy about it) and then started gaining back 11lbs. I‘m 2 weeks back on my healthy diet, 4lbs down so far. WE CAN DO THIS!!!
OMG Kayla! I was going to wait until the end of the video to comment but then you mentioned the pandemic and I can relate SO much. This kind of thing can happen at any time to anyone. For me, it had the reverse effect and I started eating more. I gained 30 lbs and now I'm starting over to lose the weight but keep it off and stay consistent. This aspect of it is purely mental. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
I just found you today for first time. And was wondering how you are doing with your journey.. I was 218 pounds ten years ago and I went down to 128. I gained a little bit off and on but never got back to 128 but I'm trying I'm about 148 right now I'm 61 years old so it's a little harder to get it off of me but I started walking and working out again and I'm going to do this and so are you
You don’t sound crazy. I feel the exact same way. I still envision myself when I was smaller. Ppl tell me to just accept the weight because I don’t look bad but it’s just not me. I don’t feel like myself. You look beautiful and I know you’ve got this. You’ve done it already.
Kayla glad to get an update from you! In 2020 I started losing weight lost 30 and stopped and in 2021 I gained it back plus 15.I am back on the journey.It is a journey and there will be many learning, relearning,lessons etc...I am sure you learned from your weight gain and it will help you on the next journey.If gou did it before you can do it again.
Thank you for posting this. I’ve been struggling with my regain for the past like 8-12 months and it’s been so difficult. I had lost 40 lbs. the last 10/-15 of it was during early covid.
I’m up like 20 now and when I try to lose, I’ll get down 7 then crawl back up.
Learning more about myself and trying to find my way again.
Seeing this today makes me feel like I’m not alone. So again thank you for sharing x
Gurl I've had this happen to me recently I even gained an extra like an extra 20lbs on top of that we need to change our lifestyles but we also gotta look at our mental health too because I'm an emotional and a bordam eater and it kills my damn weightloss
We can do it gurl welcome back x
Yess! so true
You’re not alone , I got my weight down to 190 , gained it all back now I’m 240 again and setting new goals for myself. It’s definitely a struggle I don’t feel like myself , but I’m working to keep my weight off the right way this time . You’re not alone 💜
I can 1000% relate to that feeling of not recognizing yourself in the mirror. When I was heavier, I didn't see myself at large. I still look at videos from before I lost the weight and can't believe I ever looked like that. I always saw myself as thinner. Dont feel alone in that, its definitely common
Definitely been here! Best thing I learned about weight loss is to do the things you can continue doing long term/for life, lifestyle changes to help the getting it off and keeping it off. But you’ve done it once, you can do it again! 🥳
It’s ok you are very beautiful 🤩 and you will get back on track 🙌🏾🙌🏾👏🏾 BTW your hair is gorgeous ♥️
Thank you so much!!🥰❤️🙏🏾
@@KaylaJayxo 🙏🏾🥰💜
Girl we all do this!!! I feel like everyone i know including me who has lost weight has gained it back and the that experience is a big learner and we do better each time after. I'm serious you got this!!
Looka herrrrre them pandemic pounds ain't a myth.... it's hard af!!!! Keep your head up, start out with small, attainable goals. You are NOT alone ..... from 217 to 169 (prior to pandemic) and now back at 215..... chiiiiillle I get it got it DONE! Now, back at it again 🫡🫡 it's time ... and the emotional space makes a BIG ass difference. YOU GOT THIS SIS 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Your story sounds very similar to mines. Lost a lot of weight before the pandemic. Just now recovering from a major depression caused by the pandemic 3 years later. Ready to get this weight back down through IF. How has your journey been so far? Best of luck with everything 🎉
@@modernviewer I am wishing you the best .... as far as my journey, it's funny I'm reading my comment I made a YEAR ago when I was still in disbelief, but I am happy to say I have made it almost back to my regular weight ~170, and maintaining. It HAS NOT been easy but I just keep at it, fall off the wagon, get back on track as soon as I can. And yes, I learned the hard way that I have to HAVE TO keep my emotions in check as much as I can. That had a major impact to the process. Good luck to you 💪🏽☺️
Such an important Story! I feel like this could happen to everybody. I can also relate to this feeling of not seeing myself with my current weight in the future. Thanks for sharing☀️🙌
To truly master weightloss it's not just about watching the scale and clothing size go down... it's about mastering nutrition and your psychological relationship with food.
A support group and licensed psychologist might be needed.
I really need to get look into that. Thank you!
I’ve lost 77lbs but have slowed over the past few months, definitely worried about yo-yoing back up. I see a therapist but have been thinking about finding a support group not related to my gym. Any tips on how to find one? Thanks for your comment lucky
I imagine willpower and discipline like a rubber band. It can stretch and stretch, but eventually it'll reach as far as it can reach and either snap or stagnate. I've been worried that I'll reach my goals only to regress when I can't hold it no more. So I get how you're feeling after losing your progress. But you really have nothing to be ashamed of. This is a hard road to traverse. Lots of people don't even try. You've not only tried, made lots of progress, but you've shared it with the world. That's admirable. Especially since you're sharing the blunders too. I have so much respect for you getting on here and sharing that even though you were embarrassed. I'm rooting for you and look forward to walking this path with you.
I see myself as smaller too. No idea if it counts as body dysmorphia. But I want to be the girl in my head, not the mirror. Time for some self-actualization.
Happy to see you back Kayla and hey things happen we hit a rough patch just don’t let that rough patch define you as a person. 💕
PS: can you do a tutorial on you hair it so pretty.
Thank you so much🤍, and yes I can
I appreciate you so much for this video, I've gone through the same thing. I went through as much as you did in terms of being in a difficult headspace when gaining weight back. Doesn't change the fact that I enjoyed parts of my weight loss journey regardless if I gained it back. Exercise really makes you feel good, going on walks, almost all stomach issues I had diminished. I want to get it back to it without the intention of weight loss. To remember to do what is good for your wellness, and integrating habits in your life that is good for you. I'm happy you found the courage to post again, and know that there's nothing to be scared of. You are genuinely so beautiful, I hope nothing gets in your way from seeing that!
I felt the exact same way and picked up a lot of bad habits prior to gaining weight aswell and they are so hard to stop, it’s a journey but we’ll get through it 🙏🏾 love from Ireland x
This is too real. You’ve gained a new subscriber cuz hunny the struggle is REAL! You got this!
Pretty much everyone here understands & relates to this struggle & we have soo much respect for your honesty & transparency. We stand with you❤️ let’s do it together ❤️❤️ New subbie!
Kayla - don’t worry girl - everyone has struggled & gone up and down. WE ARE HUMAN - which means NOT PERFECT. Just call for a new start, because we know you can do. Thank you for being humble & sharing with others. YOU HAVE SO MANY CHEERING YOU ON!🥳
You're human dont be hard on yourself 💜💜💜💜
Love your story babe. All the best with whatever you choose to do. You deserve true happiness, live it boldly
I went through the same thing, losing 20 & gaining 10. I am now on the WW program & prayer 💜
How do you like WW so far?
I started out at 252, got down to 193 at my lowest, and now I keep yo-yoing up and down, hovering at 210 consistently. It’s super hard to stay on track for me because I looooooove food, in the most unhealthy kind of way.
I finally just had to say to myself, “if you want to live, act like it” and that was a wake up call.
Thank you for your honestly and vulnerability.
So I completely agree with not recognizing your own body… I see pics or days I look in the mirror and can’t believe it’s me. I was watching a movie and there are 2 woman talking, another woman walks by and one of the woman goes ‘is that my body?’ And I related to that so much! I would love to hear more about your journey, I’ve struggled with my weight my whole life and about to start a sugar free challenge.
I will definitely do updates about my journey. What was the movie, if you don’t mind sharing? Good luck with the challenge!!🤍🤍
Omgggg everything you said about not feeling like yourself and it’s not you I COMPLETELY understand!!! And I like what you said about the quote saying that when your not happy your not aligned with who your supposed to be
This happened to me, I lost my weight and gained it all back and more. Now I have been struggling trying to get back to getting the weight off. 😭😭😭
Its hard, I know but you got this!!
Omg I’m new here! Just the way she’s talking, she really seems like a real kind and genuine person! Thank you for being real about this!
i remember the first time i saw your videos, you were doing hair I think, you are a very beautiful person. I can tell you have a very beautiful spirit. You can do it. You just have to stick with it.
Thank you so much 🤍🤍🤍
Thank you for being transparent!! I needed this encouragement and honesty to get back on track. We got this, sis.🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
It's ok. It happens. I lost 35 pounds and it all came back (and a little more) during the pandemic. I freaked out when I weighed myself and I was 170. I can completely relate to not recognizing yourself in pictures. It's awful. You can do it :)
This video just popped up in my feed. You are beautiful and human. I too started my weight loss journey in 2020 after becoming a widow. Allow yourself grace, and regroup and continue on your journey. That's what I am doing. Thank you for sharing and encouraging others.
I can relate to not believing that that’s you in the mirror or when you see pics. I gained over 100 lbs and I am in the process of starting another weight loss journey. I can’t fathom that I’ve gained all this weight and I still picture myself as smaller. Thanks for being transparent and sharing. Whoever is on this journey…we got this!
You are not alone at all! I’ve gotten down to 170 and now I am back to 245. Life is a roller coaster!
I feel you I lost 40 lbs. I had what I would have said a breakdown mentally from work and family stress started gaining. Then shortly after a new relationship and a baby. I gained what I had plus picked up an extra 40. I had never been that large and moving felt different.
It takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable.
I think many are proud of you for coming as you are. Be kind and gentle to yourself
I lost 85 lbs in 2016, kept it off until COVID. I've gained 40 lbs in 2 years. I'm so embarrassed at this point
I have been here. I am still here in this space. Sharing this video and being so open about where you’re at makes me feel less alone and stuck in this journey!
My body dysmorphia has me thinking I’m 50 lbs lighter. I have adhd and have been diagnosed with clinical depression and mentality has been a b-word to wrangle in and maintain. I realized the words discipline and diet were not working for me so I changed it for myself to method and nutrition. Following a method makes it easier for my brain to understand it’s not immediate results and it takes time to build. Choosing nutrition over diet makes it easier for me to make better choices in general and also riding out the wave of cravings (also recovering from an eating disorder) and not always restricting my cravings has been what is getting me to a place where I am happier in my body. I’ve also not focused on a weight goal and more of a strength and endurance goal. This is so hard. But I think mentality is incredibly important and so much harder to maintain than we openly talk about. Def subscribing to follow you on this journey. Much love!
I also wanna add that you are AS VALUABLE AND DESERVING of good and amazing things now as much as then 💕
It takes a lot of courage to be transparent, the struggle is real 😒. Been there. Keep going you've got this.
You are not alone my darling. I lost weight before and gained it back again. In the process of loosing again. Maintenance is a nightmare, don’t worry, we in the same boat. The most important thing is not to give up and keep on doing it all over again🤗❤️
I’m glad you came back! ❤️
