Hey guys.. I just wanted to sit down and chat about my weight gain. I know thats kind of a taboo thing to do in 2023, but its my reality. After the big family tragedy that we had happen back in August... I have been emotionally eating. I talk in this video about weight gain, overeating, emotional eating and just needing to make a change but wanting to make a LASTING change.. which isn't something i've usually been able to do.
Please be kind in the comments.

I’m so sick of the narrative that people are fat-phobic because they want to lose weight. Not everyone feels good being overweight. Not everyone is ok with being overweight. It doesn’t make you fat-phobic. It’s your body, you do what makes you feel your best.
It's not an irrational fear either
1000% people just don't want to see other people happy or successful.
Yes!
Yes! I was telling my boyfriend this same thing. I feel unbelievably uncomfortable being overweight and it’s not because I’m fat phobic😂 it’s because I’m literally uncomfortable in my own skin. When I’m overweight it’s because I’m eating like garbage. And when I eat like garbage it makes me mentally sick feeling also it effects my moods and everything. It’s a domino effect. There’s nothing wrong with being aware of your own weight.
I have been very thin and very heavy. I didn't think I looked good either way. But I am very uncomfortable at the weight I am now. I have scoliosis and I actually feel like my gut is weighing on my spine and pulling it towards more of a curved/swayback position. There are many things about the weight that are uncomfortable, just speaking from my own experience.
“I cannot care. I mean, I care.” I feel this so deeply. I talk myself into not caring about my weight so that I can get relief from overwhelming emotions. I’m ready to care again.
Same here. The only thing that has helped has been cold showers and daily apple cider vinegar shots. It sounds crazy but I feel like it resets my central nervous system. The willpower has been such a struggle.
“I cant care hard enough”! I FELT THAT!!
Meeee too!!
I heard someone say once “I guess I like food more than I hate being fat” and that hit hard.
ooo I've been feeling that for the past few months. its like she literally took the words out of my mouth
Omg, I connected with that too
I'm really enjoying these less filtered videos, more like how lots of youtube used to be. The less polished realness of just hanging out is so comforting. Also from one gal struggling to another with aaaaallllll this same stuff including the family loss - thank you for sharing, not feeling alone is refreshing 💕
I am so sorry for your sister. Five years ago I lost a baby at 38 weeks and it was beyond devastating. It took me about 9 months to feel myself again. I never thought I would feel joy again. Thankfully I did. It was hard on the whole family. Thinking of you all!
@michelledillman I am SO sorry to hear that. That must have been so difficult for you to go through and come out of and I’m sure you struggle with it to this day but I pray you find peace and comfort at times as well. ❤
@@laurennicki4991 thank you so much
I’m here to remind you of how STOKED you were when you first rode your peloton with Cody. I feel like you had legit JOY.
I love you so much and always appreciate your transparency. Love to your sister as well.
The way you introduced the sponsor of this video by telling us the shenanigans of your toddler was flawless
I've gained 80lbs since Covid-19! I was doing SO well then Covid-19 hit and I became lethargic, anxious, and lazy. I'm really struggling physically but my mental health has been a priority and gotten better. It's a hard balance. I feel all you said!
Me too and I just lost 30! I did have a baby September 2020 but I starting gaining the weight 8 months later
I also gained weight during Covid and it took me more than 2 years to loose it...
I gained 60lbs. Since January of last year I lost 41lbs. I saw a nutritionist, got food sensitivity tests, found out I have celiacs, changed my entire way of eating (my old way want bad, just not right for me. I needed to eat more, but more as in adding in a TON of veggies and lean protein).
When COVID hit, I had major mental health issues and I lost a ton of weight. The food insecurity has me saving the food for my kid's. My mental health got better and I was able to keep the weight off. Then my mom passed away back in May and I started eating and still haven't stopped. I'm aware of the old habits but I just can't pull out of it. It's a total struggle
I also had food scarcity during COVID and struggled with overeating when my mom passed in 2021. It's soooo hard. I think part of it is just accepting that gaining weight in grief is normal. It's also normal to gain weight after food scarcity, our bodies are trying to keep us going after a hard time. I'm almost 3 years out and I'm able to eat more intuitively again. For me it started doing 5 minute stretch videos by Yoga with Bird with the intention of just being with myself (not losing weight at all). I would just cry and let it out and sit with whatever thoughts would come up. You will be okay, it just takes time.
@@sarahs1212 Thank you for commenting, I think I'll check out that yoga. It's something I've been thinking about trying. I'm sorry you lost your mom, but I'm also glad to hear you're doing better. Gives me some hope. 💓
I immediately gained weight when my sister suddenly died in 2019, then covid hit a few months later, then i had back to back babies in Nov 2020/Jan 2022. I have put on weight i can NOT get off and i feel so hopeless.
@@nattyophelia7879 I'm so sorry for your loss. Grief is hard, throw in all those hormone fluctuations and I can totally understand your situation. I'm sure you'll find your way out. We all will!
Sorry for your lost. You can do this
This format of talking is SO comforting!!!!
For me, after so much trauma, it feels good to have had some kind of pleasure (in food). Also, dieting, denial, going hungry, giving up this bit of pleasure, and working out is painful and my pain bucket is full. I relate so hard. I cannot care but I also care so much. I also want to feel good, and look like myself. Thank you for sharing. Many of us relate so much.
Man oh man can I relate. ..😢
This feels like it came out of my brain. I’m so sorry you’re feeling what I’m feeling because it’s exhausting.
Thiiiiiisss.
Kristi your timing is amazing... I am literally waking up this morning on the first day of trying not to eat my emotions. I'm sitting here watching this video with a cup of tea and some hard boiled eggs, and was feeling really by myself in the sadness that got me here when I stumbled upon this upload. THANK YOU. Wishing you the best in your habit building, we got this.
same
Kristi, Y'all moved into cozy woods and subconsciously you've become Goldilocks with the bears. All the comforts of home, a roaring fire, wonderful pj's and fabulous bedding. All I would want is food and hibernation!
Aww this comment is so lovely!! Absolutely, kristi be easy with yourself.
Just an hour ago I was praying about this. I’m just realized I’m emotionally eating and it’s affecting me . This is a sign ❤
I'm feeling the same way. Definitely a spiritual issue and a zone of sin for me. 🫶
Same here
We have been doing the same. It's definitely a spiritual battle for the both of us!
😢❤
I’ve been doing it my entire life !
Thank you for sharing and always keeping it real!! Life is such a wild ride. I’m so glad you’re at a peaceful place. The constant anxiety is so scary. Sending you so much love!
Girl, I’ve never related to anyone more!! From the mental to the physical to the emotional to the toddler stuff…I’m going thru it all!! It’s so nice to hear someone else is going thru the exact same stuff!! Thank u, thank u, thank u!!💖
I love the evolution of your channel. It has evolved with me and my journey and it’s so comforting. Such a great reminder that we’re not alone.
Kristi. I needed this video more than you know. It is so good to know that I am not alone. My weight has gone up and down my whole adult life and I literally and so tired of the rollercoaster. When I am stressed I have the constant urge to eat to physically fill this void in the pit of my stomach and as a result I have gained all the weight I have worked so hard to lose earlier this year. I am exhausted of this constant struggle and I am so tired of the “food noise”. All I think about is eating.
Thank you for sharing, we all need to know that we are not alone.
Man.. you sound just like me. My weight went up and up over several yrs.. I was in a DEEP depression, I had to sell my nail salon and stop working all together by 2016/2017.. just struggling with my mental health along with health issues, to the point that I was at my highest weight ever at the end of 2020. I was 197!! Me? What? Yesss.. 197lbs 😱🥺☹️🤨🤔😥 Then something just clicked in my brain or the stars aligned or Santa came idk but in Feb of 2021 I got on my treadmill.... and all of a sudden in July I had lost 65lbs! Then I proceeded to gain most of it back in 2022 and now 2023. I had worked sooo hard. No one can understand the disgusting way I feel when I look at myself. (sorry this is so long) but honest to goodness I was just like this minute, doing that whole cycle of looking in the mirror, changing clothes and hating myself ONLY to walk into the kitchen pop on RUclips and grab 3 reeses peanut butter cups 😒 Is it not crazy that this video was the first thing I saw? Just let me say.. I adore Kristi and I'm grateful for the amazing ppl in the comments 💛
Hey there sweet lady, thank you for speaking so openly with us and being a relatable queen.
I’m so horribly sorry for your loss and I’m carrying your whole family in my heart. I’ve been a nurse for 10 years, and my specialty is OB. I am forever changed by the loss I’ve witnessed. It wasn’t even my personal or family loss, but the loss haunts me still. It is one of the most incomprehensibly painful things to experience in this life. I just want you to know that you and your sister and your family are NOT alone. You and your family are important, and cherished, and valuable lights in the world. I just wanted to send you a massive virtual hug. This is one of the hardest things ever, and it’s ok not to be ok. Love and hugs and prayers and through the to all of you ❤
Kristi…. Thank you so much for making these videos. I’m so over people showing the fake perfection and it makes me feel non relatable. I’m tired of people saying “omg this is a mess” and it’s like a few toys on the ground. You are Raw Beauty Kristi for a reason. You are Raw and beautiful. I appreciate you and your strength and your realness and positivity. Because even if you’re in the rough the positive thing is that you keep going and trying be proactive with your problems. I have two kids and feel the same as you. I feel like I’m in a perpetual mess and weight and positive mindset and everything is so hard but I’m at it everyday trying to do the best I can. Much love ❤️❤️
I’m a nurse and I took my first hospital job last February. I relate to this so much. The work environment and the demands with zero resources are absolutely brutal. Every time I finish a 12 hour shift the only thing that makes me feel better is eating. I put on jeans today for the first time in months & it was not a good time 😢
Jeans are overrated anyways, but I totally get how you feel ❤ I too work long days and have a toddler… and for about two whole years after birthing him I was stuffing my face after a long shift. I didn’t even realize I was doing it! I’ve since stopped the nightly binge , but haven’t lost the weight yet. You’re not alone, girly! So many of us are going through the same things. Love the community this channel has created ❤
I just switched to remote work after nearly ten years of nursing/nurse-midwifery.. it's only been a few weeks and I already feel like a different and better person. I highly recommend looking - the healthcare environment is getting worse.
Do you work nights? There’s a great book called why we sleep that spoke about weight gain sue too disrupted sleep cycles, which often happen to nurses
Healthcare jobs blow
I lost 40 pounds when I started in the ICU. Everything was like dust in my mouth and I ate like a bird. After years I finally got back to normal but recently I changed jobs and the anxiety has me eating EVERYTHING this time.
My mom does EMDR and she’s almost a different person now with the progress she’s made. It’s really amazing.
I do EMDR and it’s life-changing. I was doing regular therapy and thought it was fine until I faced a trigger of something I thought I had dealt with. I went through it from beginning to end with my EMDR therapist and saw how much more I needed to deal with. I highly suggest it.
I that everyone knew how life changing it is. It changed my life without a doubt. I have a completely new experience in life now.
@@cherylmaclean4349I’m so intrigued by EDMR and have wanted to try it
I've considered that for a minute! There are thoughts I struggle with - nothing gross, just grief, and three intrusive thoughts that come and go. I would really like to lessen the grief intensity, maybe I wil give this a shot!
@@amberws7468 After seeing the results my moms had I’ve been seriously contemplating going too. I don’t have the same kind of trauma but I think it would still help. I say go for it! 😊👍
I found you years ago bc makeup. Today I'm in a totally different place in my life and I love that you are too AND creating content about it. Just as excited about this clean with me as I was back in the day watching you slay makeup looks ❤ Thanks for being you!
I completely relate to being thinnest at my lowest point mentally. So many compliments on how great I looked, but all that weight loss was fueled by my poor mental health and high anxiety.
You can definitely make a healthier change in your lifestyle! I'm also on a journey to get my mindset right towards food for myself and my family. The balance of a "sustainable" lifestyle is such a challenge for me, coming from a "diet culture" childhood, but we definitely have the power to make healthy changes for ourselves! We deserve it. :)
Oh and one book I loved was called “Nourishing Wisdom” by Marc David - it’s the gentlest book about releasing weight I’ve ever read, it’s kinda deep but I think it’s powerful and really speaks to the root of overeating - he has a whole organization that might be helpful for you too (Institute for the Psychology of Eating). He has a podcast too that’s very sweet, helping people learn how to best help themselves.
Hey, thanks for sharing this info!
I’m almost 2 years into my journey and have lost 60lbs. What I can tell you worked for me is to avoid fast food, try to exercise at least 3 days a week, strength training is important especially when you are short 5’4” and shorter. It is a slow gradual thing. I just make it part of my list of things I have to do because I know it’ll make me feel better physically and mentally. Eating enough protein is also very important if you want to stay satiated.
This☝🏻
Why is strength training especially important for short people? I'm asking because I'm 5'2.😊
Because you talked about anxiety, I recognized myself. I am learning that I also have been in fight or flight for most of my life. I am 59. It is getting better. You talking about, “taboo”, subjects HELPS! You got this!
Thank you for all these recent videos, honestly, love just listening/watching your vids. Cleaning, makeup, real life...all of it!
Possibly the most relatable video ever. And exactly what I needed tonight. Thanks RBK for always being you. And for sharing yourself. 🤗🤗
Sending you love and thank you for being so open with us all❤!
I love how real you are! Your last episode about momstruggles/guilt had such a strong resonance with me in a moment that I reeeeally needed it. Thanks girl, stay you, uou're absoluelty beautiful inside and out! ❤
This was so vulnerable and honest. I’ve gone through similar weight struggles and it’s very defeating. But I really appreciate you sharing this. And 100% meal prepping IS A LIFESAVER. be prepared for how much time/work you must dedicate to it. But when you do and you keep the prepping/planning on track it makes a huge difference with overeating and all that. Good luck!
1000%.
Kristi, I love your transparency and honesty. You help so many others just by being you and sharing with us. Overeating happens to so many of us and sometimes we don’t even realize we are doing it!
Thank you so much for this video and your candor!
Love how open you have been about sharing your human experience. You are authentic and you are beautiful.
Thank you so much for sharing this. 💜 I feel like I’ve gotten to a point where I find myself eating and not even enjoying it but feeling unable to stop. Problems with food addiction are hard because we have to eat, so finding the balance and taking back control seems tricky.
Cheering you on over here! Everything you talked about is SO relatable as a person who has struggled with up and down weight since childhood. Health is not one size by any means, but you know when you are not treating your body the way it deserves to be treated and cared for. Proud of you for recognizing it and wanting to turn it around. You got this!
I struggle sooo hard with the caring but not caring enough and not doing anything about it. Thanks for making me feel like im not alone
clicked so fast, i am in a rut with my weight loss right now especially relating to the “self sabotage.” mostly the ppl around me don’t care to lose weight or make it a priority like i do… feeling not alone through this journey is important. i am with you, and i’m sure many others are with you as well. good luck on your journey to just simply feeling better.
I’m with ya girl! Watched both videos!
Thank you for talking about this, I needed this as I’m going through comfort eating as well❤
Dealing with the same thing now. Can’t stop over eating! Thanks for discussing this!
I sat down with a bowl of Rocky Road just before I started this video - I am exactly where you are right now. I didn't think I was so far out, but I've recently taken a few fitness classes and it's like the first time I've seen myself for real in a mirror. When I realized I couldn't even do several of the moves because my belly fat was literally in the way, the reality set in. I'm not just a few pounds overweight. Stress is definitely a factor.
I love you and your ACTUAL RAW BEAUTY! You picked the perfect channel name to represent who you are, inside and out. You are honest, beautiful, vulnerable, and just down right wholesome! Love you. Been a long time sub, and don’t comment often. Wish you and your family nothing but the best! ❤
Dude.. as a PCOS girly I cannot tell you how life changing going to a good endocrinologist was for me. Balancing my hormones and getting my thyroid in check (while also taking vitamin b12 and D) was the best thing I could've done to help me lose weight. 10/10 highly recommend. Thank you for being so vulnerable!
You’re so real for this. I’ve struggled with binge eating for years and only recently have started to take control of my diet again. This should be talked about and normalized more ❤
I love what this channel has become! As a long time mom (five babies 18 down to just 2) THIS just resonates SO much with me! THANK YOU KRISTI!!!🎉
❤ Loved the chatting while folding laundry so much! It was so satisfying to watch. What you said really resonated with me and also you motivated me to fold laundry!
I hear you. When you say you care but not enough you are speaking to my soul!
You’re amazing for sharing the most vulnerable parts of you with us. Thank you for all you do ❤
Please keep doing these videos whenever you can. I have my own struggles and these videos have been a helpful motivation to get the depresso nest sorted
This is so incredibly relatable. Thank for being honest and candid. ❤✌🏼
I've been following for years and this is my favourite form of content. I am with you girl, you're taking the words out of my mouth!! Nothing worse than reacting to something in your life and then starting to binge just to realize mid binge what you are doing 😩
I’m going through the same thing right now. I was just diagnosed with pcos so I’m really trying to change my mindset. My “New Year’s resolution” is to start meal prepping and walking for at least 30 minutes a day along with drinking water. Thank you for being so vulnerable🤍
I had a similar problem with over-eating sugar but feeling garbage, it was purely emotional, not for enjoyment at all, and eventually I listened to a podcast about gut bacteria (it was on “ologies” podcast) and they talked about treating your gut bacteria like your pets that you love so you feed them a variety of good foods that they like. I cannot tell you how much that changed my perspective on what I was eating and when. I started feeding my belly pets the nutritious food they needed and I felt great about taking care of them (and therefore me too). Weird little ways we think.
This is what's been helping me too! 🎉
You are the most real and relatable. Thanks for your vulnerability and thoughts. Sending you love from the Carolinas. All of the ladies in the comments are all with you ❤
I appreciate you sharing and being so raw. I am right there with you, I've gained so much after covid and it's time to change. You deserve to feel well physically and mentally...it's all connected. ❤
First, I just wanna say, soooo much love to your sister and you as I remember you sharing that something terrible happened but we didn't have any details. I've prayed ever since. I'm not a therapist but it just sounds like you formed a habit through trauma, and you can definitely change that habit. Wishing you all the best through your health journey. One thing I highly recommend is looking into incorporating more fermented food, including fermented grains/wheat (like sourdough bread/pancakes, ect). I have done this more recently and I noticed a huge difference in stomach bloating/digestion.
Same. I'm not entirely unhappy with my weight gain, even though this is the heaviest I have been my entire life. I understand what you're saying about just feeling uncomfortable. My coworkers are always pestering me to join them at the gym and it has become so taxing because I'm just not ready. Hearing you say similar things is oddly comforting. I think when you're ready for the push, you'll get there, just like I will. ❤
I loved this video! Thank you for your vulnerability and honesty on a tough topic. ❤
Thank you so much for this. I’m going through the exact same issue and have no one who understands. Thank you for being so open. This felt like having a convo with a friend that made me feel seen ❤
I have had the same problem lately. I eat out so much and then I get back on track and fall right back off. I’m with you! I just want to feel better
%100 can relate to how you are feeling. I’ve dealt with a similar situation, so I really appreciate you sharing your experience, and i think it’s so awesome that your main concern is your health, because by focusing on that rather than your physical appearance, you’ll be able to see healthy long lasting results that will make you feel genuinely happy. But the biggest thing for me, is remembering that it takes time, and gradually developing better eating habits and changing your lifestyle may be better than doing a sudden 180, because then you’re more likely to go back to old habits. That’s probably my biggest tip. Be patient with yourself, you can do it!
Love this new era of your content 🧡 so good I see you in my feed again!
I love this style of video from you. This and your video about why we all feel dead inside have been my comfort background videos since you've posted them. I could listen to you talk for hours, it also feels like I'm chatting to a friend (a very relatable friend). Thank you so much for always staying true to who you are and giving us genuine relatable content in a world that is so focused on staged aesthetic
I just want to say that I started EMDR therapy after seeing one of your stories about it and it HAS CHANGED MY LIFE. Thank you so much for sharing everything that’s going on in your life, I’m sure you’re helping more people than you could ever know 🤗
Hey Anna, that’s great to hear. Ive been thinking about trying it, as nothing else has worked for me to help my nervous system. Could I ask what you feel changed from it and how many sessions did you have to feeling like it made a difference? I know everyone is different but I can’t find many relevant reviews online.. Thanks in advance!
@@feyrechihro7247please give it a shot. I combine EMDR with IFS and I am making huge progress. I hope it works for you! It’s working wonders for me! It takes time. Like it won’t be three sessions, or five sessions. And you can jump from one event to another and while going through some things you might have to double back. However my therapist suggested 12-24 months in EMDR therapy. It also depends on how hard and how deep you can go. I have a very large window of affect tolerance so I can dig really deep. Depending on your own window of affect tolerance, it may take longer to get comfortable with your stories and alter the narrative that you have developed for yourself.
@@feyrechihro7247I started EMDR at the end of September and it’s been great! I’ve only done two sessions of the actual processing and the rest was my therapist getting to know all of my traumas we have to work through. She taught me a lot of coping skills and methods to help with anxiety. But the process of going through the trauma can of course be hard. It’s kind of hard to explain but we started with the first memory I have and worked through it, and in one session I know longer feel any emotional connection to the memory. Afterwards you might feel anxious but the coping skills help. I would HIGHLY recommend it, it’s hard work but so worth it!
Apologies for this long reply lol
@@feyrechihro7247it is so different for everybody and it depends on how much trauma you have. You need several sessions to “uninstall” your trauma and then sessions to “reinstall” positive cognitions. I’d plan on 3-6 months of sessions on average, that is just my personal singular experience
It is so dang refreshing to hear from someone who is self aware. It’s so rare. I’m proud of you for wanting to take care of yourself even when its so hard and not necessarily what you want to do. Keep going ❤
I have just seen two of your videos, both cleaning as you talk. And I am so here for it. Thanks for sharing. 😊
totally unrelated to the topic of this video, but I remember watching your videos back a few years ago and somehow losing track of your channel - only for you to pop up in my recommended today. I'm happy to have found you again, you are for some reason very soothing to me. Thank you for still being here and thank you for this video :)
I’m not saying this just to be like “me too, me too” but I wanted to send hugs to your sister and family for their loss. I also lost my baby in August in the second trimester of my pregnancy and it was horrible. The hardest journey I’ve ever walked. I feel like since, I’ve been trying to fill my days with busyness and events instead of facing my fears about trying for another baby in the future. I feel immense fear of loss occurring again + have trauma around ultrasounds, as I saw his little body there and that’s how we found out. We went in for a routine ultrasound and left knowing our baby’s heart stopped. It’s truly nightmarish.
I just wanted to send love to her and see how she is doing. Loss is horrendous, no matter the stage of loss.
Also, thanks for your vulnerability and your “hang out with me” videos. It fills my cup, you’re awesome. 🤍
Love the video! We’re all in this with you. Meal prep will change your life. The key is to freeze the meals right away and then just microwave it like a TV dinner. It makes the food taste better and keeps it fresh than in the refrigerator for a few days. I learned a lot from Whitney Simmons years ago.
your interactions with your little one are so precious 🥺 i look up to you so much and i appreciate you taking the time to make videos talking about these things ❣️
Ur so sweet! Ur doing the best you can ily girl!❤️
Something that has helped me with healthy changes recently is thinking of those things as self care or treating myself. I used to only consider things like shopping or eating ice cream as treating myself (and still do at times) but now that has primarily become things like taking a walk, drinking more water, stretching, choosing veggies over chips, etc. It helps me feel like I deserve good things and better health! Best luck on your journey. Getting started is hard, but identifying the desire for change and wanting to move forward with it is the first step. Thanks as always for your honesty and openness! ❤
Good way to change mindset! I’m going to try this!
Oh man, I’m relating to all of this so much. I feel you. Gained 30 lbs in the last couple years and just can’t stop the snacking even when I tell myself to cut it out.
Thank you for being so open and honest. ❤
Thank you for sharing your experience. I have been dealing with something similar since I have had my little on 9 months ago. I want to make a change as well and I appreciate you being vulnerable enough to share. It is inspiring to me.
Im a new viewer to your channel but i click on your videos so fast when i see a new one. As a 30 year old woman it is SO nice to hear an adult my age casually speak on these topics. I love your company. I know you have your struggles, but your presence feels so stabilizing to me.
Edit: you could try talking to a nutritionist about fermented foods to diversify your gut biome. They are the only thing that help with my adult acne and there's no side effects so its worth a shot!
I second the ferments I'm new to the journey tho but agree my gut wasn't likeing store carbs .... Home made sour dough carbs tho...
THIS. is EXACTLY what I’m going through right now. I cannot care. I care SO much, I feel awful, I don’t recognize myself, I feel like I can’t see my friends or go out to dinner. But I can’t get myself to STAAAAHP bc the care just flies out the window when I go food mode.
Thank you for this.
You’re beautiful Kristy ❤ inside and OUT. Genuinely you’re such a light.
Thank you for talking about this. I have been avoiding watching it becauseeeee I've been struggling recently and thought this would make me feel bad. But instead I can just 110% relate. ❤
Whenever willpower goes out of the window for me, I find it helpful to focus on the word discipline. I make it my word of the month and read it every single day, and even though I don't feel like doing something it helps me push through, and eventually willpower comes back. I hope you can find the tool or words that work for you ❤
How our bodies help us survive trauma is incredible. It’s awful to feel like a stranger in your own body after. Anything you can do to help you feel like you have some autonomy will help. I gained 40 lbs from trauma and kept it on for two years. I only started losing weight once I let go of the shame I had and any of my “should/supposed to” mentalities.
I’ve watched you for years because I just love your personality so much. But I have to say I have never related more to your videos than the last few. Loving the new content so much ❤
I love how raw and real you are. Never stop being you. I feel the exact same way….and I need to make changes. I feel uncomfortable….and I don’t like it.
Thank you for talking about this- literally on my walk tonight with my husband we discussed our emotional eating habits. Earlier this year we tried to buy a home and it ended up falling completely apart, and then we lost our rental home. We are now in a place that is not at all comparable to what we had before, and while it may seem trivial to others, to us it’s been devastating. Ever since then we have both just completely let ourselves go. Ultimately it isn’t about weight for us anymore, but it’s about health. I’m having huge health issues now and we are having trouble conceiving as well… it’s a struggle to move forward out of those habits and I wish people would give others more grace - we are all just trying our best
I’m not sure what exactly happened to your sister but I recently tragically lost my beautiful 15 month old baby boy almost a year ago. There are no words and I sincerely wouldn’t wish this for anyone. There is no way to describe the pain and it doesn’t go away. My thoughts and positive energy are with you and your sister. You’re not alone ❤
Sorry for your sudden loss 😢
sending love and light to you
I just can’t imagine. I’m so very sorry. Sending wishes for moments of comfort and peace.
I am so so sorry to hear this. 💔 my thoughts go out to you. I see you and my heart is broken for you 😢
Thank you all so much I really didn’t except anyone to read it but it means so much to me that people from all over thought about my baby Max whilst reading and commenting I appreciate it so much ❤️
Your “I can’t care hard enough” dialogue describes how I’ve been feeling for a few years now. Thanks for helping me put that into words!
I’m proud of you! Taking care of yourself is harder than we ever imagined. 🙁 love and adore you!
Hugs to your sister. Child loss is an unbearable pain and I wish her grace on her healing journey
100% relate to the anxiety description, and feeling like theres always a threat.
Medicated now but still get super tired and bingy.
Either way you look beautiful, but I totally get the struggle of the weightloss journey, I'm there too
Coming back to finish this the next day and seeing the end of your video, I've had a LOT of success with counting macros and joining the group Macros Inc. on Facebook. A lot of people look at it and jump to the conclusion that because we weigh our food that it's an obsessive eating disorder, but it's how we accurately track the portion sizes since labels and measuring by volume can be so far off. If you're going to meal prep portions, that could be really beneficial for you! It's the only "diet" I've been able to stick with for more than a couple of months because the longer you do it, the easier it gets, and you're actually allowed to have an adequate amount of calories, and they don't consider any foods "bad" for you. Prioritize protein and vegetables for fullness, but if it fits in your calories, you're allowed to have it. That mindset has made the biggest difference for me, and now that I'm back to trying to lose again, that's exactly where I went back to instead of trying another fad diet.
I love this, thank you for sharing. You are definitely not alone in this situation.
You have spoken to my soul. Would love to hear more about where you navigate and whatever type of journey you go on.
I feel like we are the same person! Infertility, a one year old now, ups and downs of awful mental health, constantly struggling with my weight and allot of mental health problems around food and body imagine. I’m 30 and yeah the early 2000s where an awful time for body shaming. Please let me know if you find anything to help motivate you in weight loss. Man it’s just so hard! I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your sisters baby ❤️
For me, the thing that really is motivating me to make a healthier change in my diet, is that my three year old eats healthier than I do. I feel like I definitely prioritize his diet and his meals much more than I do my own. I am with you in this journey! Us moms have to put the foot down with ourselves sometimes
Thank you for sharing Kristi! This is all so common and not talked about enough. Have you listened to maintenance phase? I’ve found it to help ground me and my thoughts about health, weight, and body image.
One of the things that has helped me has been listening to podcasts about the brain and habits, such as eating when I'm not hungry. I have been working with my thought processes around my life habits, noticing that they are very intertwined. Eating is connected to other behaviors and one won't improve without working on others. BUT I really want to look into the gut bacteria, that is FASCINATING!!! Thank you for another awesome video, you are a GEM!!!
As somebody who's gone up 2 sizes every year since 2020, I feel you girl. My 2 biggest factors are, I was a body builder for 6 years. I met my now husband at the start of the pandemic, the same time the gyms closed. Not only did I put on the happy relationship weight, i also quit my bodybuilder lifestyle. (Gym 7 days a week, 6 meals a day) NOWADAYS, I've given myself the freedom to eat pizza, donuts, drink soda, alcohol, enjoy fast food weekly.. all the things I didn't enjoy for years. I didn't have a soda for 5 years. I'm still fairly comfortable at a size 14-16, but I hate how out of breath I get. I still roller skate 2-3 times a week, but I'm always winded and I know I need to get back into weight lifting. I don't believe I consume a huge excess of calories, just too much salt & sugar! Bc its in everything! We will get there girl. We just have to give ourselves some time.
You should get yourself checked, I heard the jabs make you feel this way
Same here, I used to workout so much and ate extremely clean. Met my love, and stopped working out, started eating everything I denied myself in the past. I felt so free, but now my health is crap and I get out of breath over everything 😅 So I need to find a balance, but it's so hard.
A nutritional blood analysis changed the game for me. Regular blood work never really picked up much, or diet/exercise/lifestyle stuff didn't do squat. I found out so much and it has been so helpful.
I’ve never heard of this! Would you be able to give details, like what it told you and how you got it done?
@@strawberrylove5684co-ask!
Girl I am so thankful for your last 3 videos. All of these thoughts are exactly the same as mine.
I love how honest and open you are in your videos. I've struggled with weight and depression my whole life. I feel the same way you do. Its hard for me to stay motivated or even care sometimes about what i look like. Good luck in your journey. ❤🙂
