The biggest thing ive taken from your videos is that a lot of a weight loss journey is also a mental health journey. I had to realise that the problem was not just a physical one. Ive since lost nearly 4 and a half stone. I feel like the biggest problem with other methods of weight loss likw surgery etc they are very much only physically fixing you or restricting you but the issues often run so much deeper x
100% I “tried” to lose weight many times but nothing really worked for me long term, until I fixed what was going on in my head and the reasons why I was overweight. Before fixing that and truly being ready I just constantly self sabotaged. When I was truly ready, it was hard, but manageable and it has completely been a lifestyle change for me.
I literally never thought of the weight being a symptom and not the main pathology to be treated until coming across Carla. It’s been truly life changing. Carla if you see this, I’m a 33 year old medic in the US and you have helped me feel empowered to fix my shit so I don’t give it to the next generation ❤
Way to go! Keep up the great work!
I agree! We have to change our mindset about food. It's a physical and mental health issue. 😊
“Shoving food down yourself is a form of self harm.” That is exactly how I feel when I binge. I have these feelings of absolute loathing and hatred towards myself. Some people cut, I binge. More proof that weight loss really is a mental health journey!
Listening while I walk to AA… as a person who struggles either over doing Everything, this is a calming and inspiring listen! Makes me feel less alone in the journey toward balance. Thank you❤
I can relate to so many things you're saying!
And I love that you always point out that the most important thing about losing weight is your mental health and working on the reasons why u got to this point in the first place.
To the person with the injured foot: just wanted to say I feel you! I was dealing with plantar fasciitis for awhile and it suuuucked. I went from long, long walks to hardly being able to move.
A few things that helped me were 1) Succumbing to rest. This sounds counterintuitive, but allowed me the space to reflect on why I needed to be in stasis at this time and what I wasn’t noticing emotionally by needing to be in constant motion, 2) Getting professionally fitted for new sneakers, and 3) Using a stationary bike at the gym, where I could relieve the pressure from my feet while building up endurance and leg strength.
Another thing that some people might see as flaky but helps me a lot is to look up “spiritual meaning of ____ pain” and see what has been written online about the emotional information conveyed by different parts of the body. That way, I get some guidance on where to direct my attention with regard to the subconscious pain I’ve been ignoring.
Best of luck! ❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing and helping xx
Thank you for sharing and especially the part about the reason why we might be experiencing the pain and overall injuries. I’ve ben imobile for several months several times in my life and they all had a lot of meaning to it and brought a lot of reflection which changed my life drastically.
Louise Hay has a great book called, “You Can Heal Your Life” and has extensive lists on the meaning of _____ pain/symptom and the affirmation to help retrain your mind and body around it. For example, I had terrible foot pain from plantar fasciitis and also HATED my toxic job environment but felt stuck there and afraid to quit, plus my dear aunt Joy had died unexpectedly. I was in all kinds of physical and emotional pain I looked up the symptoms and the meaning she gave was “fear of stepping into the future”. The affirmation to help heal this was “I move into the future with Joy”. Aunt Joy! It was pretty stunning.
‘Lipstick 💄 Don’t fret over the job you didn’t get, you’re marvelous and will get even opportunities in the future.
I was not sure if I wanted to see this video, due to the subject on the video. But I had to.
I finally seems to found a way that work with my bingeeating, ADHD and that is calorielimit together with Ozempic. My brain doesnt think we are starwing (eat much more than at Bodyslim also) because I can feel fullness. For the first time in my life. Traumatherapy separatly also.
I dont think Ozempic should be used for ”some extra kilos”. But as you know, I have heavy obesitas and have struggle my whole adult life.
I think I do job with my headwork also. (If you understand what I mean)
I love your honesty what you have done if Ozempic was a thing when your still had your extra kilos.
Yes ma’am, that makeup look for the season is working great for you! 🖤
Love love love this vlog, a lot of great information from the questions, thank you!💄🖤
💄 ❤ super video as usual and so true the importance of taking time for yourself, we don't do enough of this!
Really loved this video, you’re so inspiring thank you for doing this
Loved this video Carla, love all of your videos❤❤❤
Such a great, vulnerable, informative, and inspirational video. Thank you!
Your makeup looks awesome! Thank you for your positivity and encouragement. 💄
💄 Thank you for doing your makeup videos!! I love the colors you use and I'm in awe watching you put your eyeliner on freestyle!! I wish I had that talent. ❤️
Thank you so much for this video, it has covered so many of the issues that I am currently working on, zero motivation, being really pissed off with myself for gaining back some weight, basically driving myself crazy and ending up eating more than ever. I have never thought of so called " comfort eating" as a form of self harm, but you are right !!! It is. Thank you again for your honesty. I feel I found this video at the right time for me.💄💄💄💄💄
Thanks so much for this video, Carla! I feel very supportive of your idea of taking action first. So smart!
Sometimes we need to stop overthinking everything and take those steps.
And congrats to you for all of your accomplishments. I’m sure the great work you’re seeking will come soon.
Love the make up❤ ... beautiful. Great video Carla. Thank you.
These videos are very appreciated, thank you🥰
Great questions and of course answers Carla 💄💋
You are so inspiring! I am half way through my weight loss journey to lose 135lbs (half my starting body weight) . I Eat keto OMAD & ADF. This is my new lifestyle, and I exercise daily now. It’s one day at a time and consistent habits. Thank you so much for sharing your experience so that we know losing a lot of weight permanently is possible.❤❤❤
Beautiful makeup and great topics, as always. I had long been triggered by fatphobic judgements I perceived by others but now I realize I could use some talk therapy or specific journaling to further work through a subtle but real defensive loop that had kept me self-sabotaging once I lost weight as if staying overweight was somehow a radical rebellion. It's time to end that cycle and I know you are right Carla, it's all about mindset. I've heard you say it so many times but today is the day that something clicked and I no longer am worried about the other details, like meal plans and exercise because in my case they had become an all-or--nothing unhealthy obsession (which is really another distraction loop). I think I just need to really process how the extra weight has (mostly) helped me feel safe in a world that can at times be overwhelming, and how I can find new healthier ways to be secure without the excess weight as a barrier. ❤ 💄 💋
Hi Carla,brilliant video...loving ur makeup 💄 really summary,.❤❤❤
Thanks Carla! 😊
💄💄💄 i loved this video, really informative and also very inspirational!!! 💪🏻
You do give a lot to other people; you have given a lot of support to me online. Thank you! 💄
Doing the things you need to be a happy functioning human isn’t selfish in fact it’s the best thing you can do if you want to mirror a healthy way of being for your child.
Your videos have really helped me on my weight loss journey. I agree with you 100% on this video. I had to agree to change my thinking on what I ate. I almost never ate veggies, nor even fruit. I never thought I'd actually enjoy veggies, but now I do. It took experimentation, it took dedication, it took a willingness to change (because, obviously, if my eating habits had been good for me, I wouldn't have had join HMR and spend a little over a year losing 118 pounds). It also took being 100% honesty with myself and sticking to the plan with no cheating, gradually upping my exercise and now maintaining that as well as my heathy eating habits. Without building new habits, how can one be successful? So many have gained the weight back after their surgeries and I think it is because they didn't learn new habits. Although I did it through a different plan than Bodyslims, I totally respect and admire Bodyslims as being a successful program. Now that I'm in maintenance, maybe I should take a class on putting on make-up and which colors are good for me. :) 💄💄
OMG please do that!!! A wonderful way to treat yourself and congrats on your journey xx
My doctor just prescribed me Wegovy (ozempic) and while I look forward to seeing if it helps, I'm so glad I found your channel because it's really made me realize that I need to get into therapy as well if I really want this change to stick. I know I've got some deep seeded issues surrounding food and emotional eating. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos, and with any luck and a lot of hard work, getting to share my success from my own journey. 💄🖤⭐
💄Thank you Carla!!🍀
For me, this has been your most impactful video yet. I don't know if it's the night, my hormones, or hearing new things. I'm just bawling!!! Like ugly tears. I'm going to need to process and "write through it".
I hope you’re ok xx
My Mum and Grandmother always said 'What's for you won't pass you by', which is cold comfort sometimes when you've had a disappointmet, when you get rejected from something you REALLY wanted. (Don't get me started on the rejection sensitivity) But as you said 'know your worth'. You're putting yourself out there, not waiting for it to knock on your door, so something will come along, it will pay you what you're worth and it'll be better than this one gone by. You'll be able to look back and be glad this one got away because you'll have will be so much better. And yes, financial stability is lovely, but you're worth the wait. xxx
Thank you for your fabulous video, so interesting and loved to see your make up, I’m sorry you missed out on that job but it’s their loss not yours, you will get plenty more opportunities 💗
I tried Oz for 4 weeks. Lost 2 kg. Probably because I wasn’t able to workout post op. Stopped because of the side effects: fatigue, bad constipation, acne. I didn’t enjoy the Ozempic experience. I started LCHF with IF after I quit Ozempic and I lost 12 kg within 3 months hitting my goal weight and stuck to LCHF with IF now per the last half a year. Lots of energy and peace with food.
What is LCHF?
Low carb high fat
You took ozyempic when you only had to lose 24 kg? Were you mad?
Oh my…only 4 weeks? That’s not even close to getting to the good part! It’s usually 8wks before getting to the first therapeutic dose. And acne from GLP-1s? Never heard of that
@@ck2d how do you want me to reply to your question?🫶🏻
💄 😘 🤗 great video thank you Carla!
As someone with type 2, I fully encourage anyone who is obese and on the verge of becoming diabetic, to hopefully mitigate that by any means necessary. If Ozempic helps them do that, I applaud the effort. I had gastric bypass two months ago, because it was what was right for me after much soul searching and most of my adult life obese. In Canada we have to go take classes and have many meetings with therapists and dieticians before we quality for surgery. It took three years for me from start to finish, and I'm down 50 lbs since surgery. I have hope again. That hope is what pushes people forward, no matter how they choose to lose the weight. If they keep that hope for the future alive within them, they can accomplish anything. I don't judge anyone for how they get there, just as long as they get there.
Well done! That's great advice for people too.
I also am plant based, 15 years now. I don't like the labels people put on eating Vegan ❤I'm with you on that.
💄💄💄 Love your videos! super inspirational! i am 30 weeks pregnant and will be having a scheduled c-section. after my little one is here im really hoping to start my own journey of loosing probably over 100 pounds. I'm trying to start my walking journey currently, though i haven't reached the hour mark, probably won't until well after i deliver but hoping i can get in to the mental state for it sooner than later. Thanks for all you do!
I am so disgusted by people shaming mothers for having a life outside of being a mum. So what should they do? Lock themselfs up at home until the baby is 18? Then she can see the outside again?
Oh f off!
Apparently so!!! But then we'll be "old" so heaven forbid we could do something like dancing at that age!
Hi Carla, you are amazing and strong. From France
Your nails look great girl 🩵
Thank you!!
There is a real danger in starting to use Ozempic: if you regain the weight you lost after you stop taking it's very likely you'll lose more muscle mass as you're dropping weight than you put back on once you go off it. You'll then be less healthy than you were when previously at that weight.
I started going to the gym in an effort to prevent that once I started on Ozempic. I also worked hard on developing dietary patterns I could use to avoid regaining weight after coming off Ozempic.
I think this would apply equally whatever method someone chooses to loose weight.
Suggestion: put the names and shades of products and brushes as text so you can talk about your tips and techniques plus answering questions. I like the idea of makeup plus q&a but the product names are a bit faffy and make the video longer than it needs to be 😅
I am on ozempic and it's saving me. But I am also following by multiple professionals including a therapist. we did 4 years of therapy before I was considered ready to start losing weight, and I did many nutrition courses, eating disorder treatments etc... It's very important to tackle this from all point's of views. Ozempic is just a part, the part that allows me to listen to myself without having to count calories which actually triggered binges.
If you are doing ozempic without all the other stuff, you may lose weight at the beginning but you will not maintain. Good luck all!
I just adore you and your videos Carla! I love the sit down videos but prefer to listen to them and not watch. I think your makeup look is so pretty and would love a full tutorial (only if you want to of course; not just this look but any). Like more into why you apply XYZ, technique tips, etc. (old school RUclips style 😂) Thanks if you consider it. 💄 And sorry you lost the large paying job!
Awe I'd love to do that! Thanks so much hun xx
I'm your before right now.. I feel so overwhelmed and hopeless at the moment.. been following a lot of your content lately.. they just one day popped up on my feed. And I'm grateful for it.. I just wish someone could help me where I am at the moment.. I need step by step.. because I just can't figure out how and where to start with 3 kids under 10.. Time for my self and my mental health is a luxury I can't afford.. or so I used to think..
Great video Carla! I hope you don't mind me saying, but the only thing I would urge people to get more info on is the nutritional tip regarding having fruit before something sweet. This is adding sugar to sugar and will cause a high glucose spike in the blood which should be avoided or reduced by eating, for example, nuts and or Greek yoghurt with cake instead. :)
Absolutely don't mind you saying at all. I think his intention is that when you eat the fruit you're putting a disruption to the behaviour and eventually it will dissipate. xx
How long did it take you to lose the 180 lbs? Can you do a video about the time range, year by year? How was it mentally at each losing phase?
I loved this video Carla! I ❤ watching you do your make-up-you are a pro! I know someone on one of these injections. She looks great from the neck down but every time I see her her I notice how unhealthy her face looks-sallow and to me concerning. She's around your age. Wonderful weight loss tips here from your video, you always motivate me!!! 💄 💋
🖤🖤🖤
❤💋
Great way to demonstrate both patriarchal control over how women harm themselves to get approval and how NOT to live in the moment. I deserve better.
Hello, Carla. Besides stretching it out, did you get injections for your plantar fasciitis or did you just push through the pain?
I just pushed through with lots of stretching xx
After years of plantar fasciitis on and off I got shockwave therapy on my feet (a thumping device) from my physiotherapist and I have been 15 years with happy heels. My hairdresser also tried it and it got rid of hers as well.
Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. We're all human. We can't be on 100%, 100% of the time. Sometimes 80% or 50% is the best we can do for any given situation. And at that moment, it's good enough.
