I admire this video, and the honesty contained within SO MUCH. Well done.
Thanks Ian and thanks to you and Carly for being so supportive ❤️❤️
Totally echo what Ian says
For once, I get to love a HubNut comment back! ❤️
Ian, heartily agreed and I would write direct to Steph if I dared but we psychologists can be as boring as hell. You and the Hubnuts are in support and that is priceless.
I only pop in and out of your videos for some reason, but watched the triumph one yesterday and thought I was watching the wrong video as you look so amazing and very pretty, blimmin wish I was a hundred years younger I would be giving you boyfriend a bit of competition lol. A very big well done for such a honest video, nearly bought a silly old biker to a few tears xx
The people who left such comments were unaware of the fact that their comments reflected more about themselves than you.
I still think about some of them!
One hundred percent mate, these imbeciles wouldn't dream of saying boo to a goose in a bar but spout nasty bs about others from the safety of their front room.
@@idriveaclassic I know it's easy for us to say - we're not the ones they were directed at and would feel exactly the same on the receiving end - but rhe following has to be said to reinforce the fact it's not ok or clever to behave like this.
- They're the ones that end up looking like complete knobs and not you. Most IDAC viewers are here because they like you and your content
- They're probably insecure and if their way of feeling better involves provoking a rise out of you then they need help
- I bet they couldn't do what you do, both in terms of the channel and surgery
- Why are they spending the limited time they have on this earth doing something so useless?
@@idriveaclassic if you do think about them, pity them. Poor, sad fools.
I admire your honesty Steph, and am sorry to hear the amount of pain you went through.
I can't believe how vile and cruel some people can be, especially when they are safely hidden behind a keyboard! Shame on them, and I hope karma catches up with them.
You're looking fantastic, and wish 2023 will be filled with nothing but positive, happy energy for you! 🎉🤗
Thanks so much ❤️❤️❤️
Hey Steph, I must be honest I never thought about your weight when watching the videos I just loved watching a young person talking about classic cars, also another thing that drew me to your channel is your look, very retro!
It must have been hard for you reading disgusting comments, and I always feel those people have more issues going on with themselves which might be a tool to use in the future if you get a crappie comment. All I can say is you're an amazing person and speaking for myself, it warms my heart when I see your passion for old classics and if you could bottle your passion you would be rich beyond belief. Thanks for the upload and all the best wishes for the future.
And Happy New Year..
This comment made me well up. Thank you xx
" I always feel those people have more issues going on with themselves" - Oh, DEFINETLY.
For someone who struggled with self esteem issues , this level of honesty is beyond brave .
As a subscriber to your channel, you always come across as a confident and intelligent person which of course you are. You never revealed your struggles through your vids although we have obviously been aware of your weight loss journey recently. What an incredible journey. Despite the struggles, ultimately a positive outcome for you. Very brave to to this honest on video which I believe is totally honourable as it helps others. Please ignore the keyboard warrior haters, genuine decent people will not judge you negatively but respect you. Very well done Steph 👍
You are my hero.
I know my issues are nothing compered to yours but, as a disabled 40 year old male, I struggle with confidence and this video sort of highlights that for me. I had groin surgery in 1989 and on my legs in 1994 to help me walk. I understand the emotions that come with this and it feels dreadful that your thoughts are that people laugh and point or wispar, but you are what and who you are and no one can take that away. So thankyou for the video and it helped me ease my depression. Wish you luck and happy, SAFE driving.
You’re an inspiration Steph, it takes a lot of Courage to make a video like this, well done! Proud of you!
Thanks Joe that’s really nice of you ❤️
You always looked amazing Steph, but it definitely feels better not to be carrying excess. If the last 12 months journey makes you a happier person then all of it was worth it. Congratulations on this post and on your very entertaining channel.
You look fabulous Steph, although you always did. I'm so glad you got to the place you needed to go - lots of love to you.
Thanks Matt ❤️❤️
I can’t believe how heartfelt and honest this video is, yet you manage to retain your sense of humour! You’re inspirational Steph, and it’s so lovely that you’ve taken the time to share your experience for people who might be in the same sitch you were in 2021! You’re a sweetheart ❤
Keep up the good work and keep being you 💪🏻
Really pleased for you Steph. Looking great. Well done!
Thanks Chris! Can’t quite believe it.
Hello Steph, I'm so sorry to hear about the horrible comments that you received, there really are some nasty individuals around. You're a lovely young lady and I wish you all the very best, happy new year to you! X
Thanks Paul xx
This is tremendous work. Honest without being self indulgent, brave without being self pitying and most of all, tremendously helpful to the many thousands of people watching it over the years who have experience with body dysmorphic tendencies.
I can say that because I'm one of them.
Well done Steph, you have my deepest respect and by the way, you look cool!
What an interesting, moving and informative video Steph, thank you. Your post operation experiences are a bit of a revelation for me; I never realised the physical and mental after effects of such surgery. So often the image we have of ourselves is shaped by others, well done for liberating yourself from that mindset. Best wishes for the future, and I hope you go from strength to strength in all areas of your life.
Yeah it was bloody testing 😂😂
Steph, I've watched your journey on Twitter, and I honestly think you're an incredibly brave person. Taking charge of your life when it feels like it's falling apart is the hardest thing ever, but you did it and stuck with it, and been open and honest about how it's affected you good and bad. Well done for not giving up and sticking around so the rest of us can keep living vicariously through you driving those awesome classics!
This has to be one of the most refreshingly honest videos i have ever seen. You are such a terrific communicator and, from all the other comments, reaching out to a wide audience that needs your support as much as the dupport you have received from them. Keep it up young lady and my very best wishes for your future. XX
Thank you ❤️
I wish I could like this video more than once! So many strong messages about what it takes to face up to everyday challenges - I particularly love the one about having compassion for yourself. Go well into the new year!
Thank you! I think more compassion would make the world a much easier place to fumble through life in
Always found Steph inspirational. Even more so now.
Thanks Andy ❤️
I have had no teeth for three years and as a performer (singer) my career and my life was over, but an anonymous person has given the money for dentures - soooooo grateful! Many of us only survive because of the kindness of others. Even kind words can help us through another day.
Aww that’s so lovely!!! I hope you’re singing every moment of the day and loving having your voice back ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@idriveaclassic Pity we're not in the same country - I'd love for you to drive my bright red 1987 Honda Civic hatchback (only 50k miles!).
Being one of your hosts in Malaysia, and also hearing what you have shared there and then and in this video, I was really worried about dietary issues or restrictions when you were in Malaysia, and I was really relieved and happy that you have enjoyed our food and shops. And I want to put this out there that Steph is such an amazing and bright person that it is such an honour to bring you around in Malaysia.
Your outward appearance should NEVER. I repeat, NEVER be the indicator of how you are as a person.
You are my inspiration as well to work harder on my business and myself after a traumatic accident that nearly cost my life.
You absolutely deserve the success and happiness you are having right now and in future.
You are, right now an absolute star and a celebrity, a friend, an inspiration, a sister and definately such a brilliant and strong person.
I am only wishing you all the best for your future to come!
LOVE YOU STEPH. Saddening to hear that it was been a painful journey to get here on New Years Eve, but you look fabulous and delighted that you have met someone who can treat you like a Queen (and seemingly goes to Motor Shows with you!)
Oh yeah. I am SO lucky!
Oh Steph I'm so sorry you have suffered from horrible people sending you vile comments. Thanks for sharing your story, and what a wonderful lady your Auntie is. I'm sure your honesty will help people who are considering the same surgery. Wonderful that you are feeling much happier and the surgery has been so worthwhile.
Steph. I enjoyed this video more than I expected. (I’m here for the cars.). I found old you quite delightful on screen and I saw your weight in the same way I saw your hair do and your dress sense. It was a style. Your style. You can change it; it’s yours. You own it.
I found your honesty refreshing and uplifting. Im sure you are going to continue to recover and strengthen up physically and emotionally. Keep being you.
Haha I’m here for the cars too but I thought, if people keep asking I’ll keep telling ☺️
Massive respect to you Steph for doing this video. Hope you and everyone in the scene have a great 2023.
That was a brave video to do Steph - your journey has been incredibly brave. It’s a great shame that trolls can’t see beyond appearances - your car videos have always been very engaging, entertaining and informative. It’s great to see you at the other side - and I must say you’re looking great - so I hope that your recovery continues, and please, please don’t stop the great classic car content! Best wishes for 2023!
Inspirational stuff, thanks so much Steph. You look great and so happy - love your videos. Wishing you a happy and healthy 2023. Cheers.
Thank you for posting this. Like all your videos it was wonderfully detailed, insightful and expertly presented. It is so uplifting to hear your mental health has improved! Here's to a happy new year and a happier new you!
Lots of love to you, Doll! 💝 Thank you for all your efforts you put into making your channel what it is, even during those low agonising points. It's meant a lot to me during my low points, as I'm sure it has for so many others going through their own 💩! So happy for you that you've met someone special, and all the best wishes for the New Year Steph!
You're an inspiration Steph. So brave to go through what you did and such admirable honesty.
Congratulations on making a plan, taking the risk and getting results. You look great and we enjoy your videos!
Good for you, Steph! Love your videos! Love your honesty. Keep them coming.
So so proud of you for this, and so happy to see you happy too! A lot of fantastic advice in this video that's not just related to losing weight too. "Comparison is the thief of joy" is definitely a quote I'll be carrying into the new year!
I have always enjoyed watching your videos, your taste in cars and clothes coincides with mine, but this video has taken you a much higher level in my estimation. Very impressed with your honesty and you look fantastic. Now I just have to learn to drive and get my own Morris. Way to go,girl.
Thanks so much Charlotte!!!
Thank you for sharing your story steph! Your story is wonderfully honest. You are fabulous!
You're an inspiration Steph! Glad to hear that things are heading in the right direction given the journey you've already been on. Looking forward to seeing more from you on the channel in 2023. Have a good one!
Thankyou Steph for sharing all you've been through. You are a brave and beautiful person that so many of us appreciate for all the time and energy you put into your channel that all us car crazy people love. You're looking great. So appreciate your positivity on life! Wishing you a great New Year ahead and can't wait for more of your classic car adventures! Cheers!
Wow - just, wow. What an incredibly brave, honest, informative, alternately sad & happy but ultimately inspirational video.
You're looking so much happier now than you did just a year ago which is great to see.
Wishing you and yours everything you would wish yourselves for 2023 & beyond!
Just wow Steph! Brilliant insight and account, truly brave and inspiring! Lovely to see you this happy and positive.x
I'm SO proud of you for making such a huge change in your life, and for sharing with such candour.
What a great video Steph. You really nailed it.
A frank, and at times very moving, account of a real person's life trials, and how she beat them. This should be compulsory watching for anyone considering gastric surgery.
Good luck with your continuing journey. It's always a struggle but I can see that you've more than got what it takes to carry on.
Steph,
Thank you so much for sharing and being openly honest, I admire your honesty. Been watching the channel since the start and one thing I really admired is that you have such a bubbly personality and came across confident. Having met you at the Motorist at the first Hubnut Social back in 2021 that same bubbly personality and confidence was showing as you guided people round the workshop!
Wishing you and Freddie all the best for 2023 and thank you so much the fun and entertaining videos over the last year.
So glad you are happier now. I am sorry that you have been through such a difficult time. You have a lot to be proud of. I look forward to your next video. Happy new year.
I'm so glad for you Steph!! It takes a lot of courage for some people to talk about about their personal lives on social media.
Steph I think you are amazing and always have been. Your honesty is a tonic to me having suffered with mental health issues for a number of years. I did get emotional listening to you and remembering where I was and am now. Like you there are more good days than bad and I try to use the strategies given to me during my therapy sessions. I wish you every success and happiness in your personal and professional life and hope your channel and life continue on an upward curve. Best wishes for 2023. Dave x
Thanks for sharing your journey with us, I'm so glad to hear that you're feeling much better! Your bravery and strength are an inspiration to all of us.
Major love and solidarity to you Steph, thanks for illuminating people with such an honest and frank view of this issue, and I'm glad you're still here with us to continue to bring us your great vids about classic cars.
Steph, your honesty and courage humble me. You are a great person! I'm certain that your body and your life in general will go on improving. Bless you - you are a hero.
Such an amazing story. It is incredible that you have found the strength to share this with the world. And it is so sad that people were leaving such horrible comments.
It’s been SO hard to record.
Steph, so well done, good for you and thank you so much for your honesty. I have watched your videos for a few years and never gave your weight a second thought as your video content was and is excellent. I rarely leave comments on RUclips but this time had to make comment as you are truly inspirational. Very touched by your achievements!!
Lovely to see you back, Steph. Your vids are always must-see, and this is no exception. Well done 🤗👌 xx
Thank you Steph for telling your very honest and enlightening journey. I am sure this will help many people who are considering the surgery. I didn’t know the difference between the band and the sleeve. You truly are an inspiration and I am so pleased you have found a lovely man to share your life with ❤
First of all Steph, you look amazing and well done for losing such a terrific amount of weight!
I LOVE your no holds barred, totally honest and open approach to all of what you have gone through, you should be extremely proud of making such a great decision for you
I hope that 2023 is a brilliant year for you x
Thank you so much for sharing this, Steph. You were fabulous before and you're fabulous now, but I'm so glad you're happier. Your ability to give the warts'n'all experience shows how much your confidence has grown. Truly inspirational.
You are so brave to come on air. I have a carer who had done twice. You are an inspiration!
Well done Steph, it takes a lot of courage to be so honest and forthright when opening up about the highs and lows of your life and you have done a great job and you have my utmost respect for doing so in such an easy going way with your personality really coming to the fore.
Keep up with all your good work producing videos of classic cars for us all to enjoy as they are always very much appreciated...❤
Hey Steph, haven't watched the whole video yet but i appreciate you take others with you on that journey. I startet watching your videos a long time ago and last year you Instagram storys have shown your weight loss. I never struggeled with weight myself but you brought that stigmatized topic to a lot of car guys that otherwise wouldn't have thought about it or felt maybe ashamed or similar. I love your content, it encouraged me in the past to drive my old cars more often. Lots of love from a young german Guy from the internet - sorry if i don't find the best/most fitting english words🙈. ♥
Wow! Much respect Steph for being so candid. I wish you all the best for 2023 & beyond.
Thank you x
Fantastic. One of the most refreshing and genuine videos I have seen in a long time. So honest and down to earth. A real power positive. I felt pain, sadness, inspiration and also laughed a I watched along, so that's some bloody good broadcasting. Thank you. All strength to you. You always have been and will continue to be cool.
What a wonderfully honest and open video Steph. I am full of admiration. All the very best for 2023. X
Well done Steph. Weight can be such a huge internal struggle and as someone who lost 3 stone, i know how hard it can be to not just be motivated but also keep that motivation and not break down. I know this video will help many people out there who are, or will be going through the same and this video will help encourage them. Thank you
You look absolutely fantastic Steph. Well done for getting on here and talking about it, I'm sure you will have helped many. Happy New Year, what a great start for you.
Thank you love
Thank you Steph for your willingness to share this experience, both good and bad. The strength you're showing in being so transparent is impressive.
Good on you, Steph! I appreciate your courage and honesty. I wish you continued good health.
I really do appreciate this video. I myself am struggling with weight and hearing your story does give some perspective and hope that I can make things better for myself. I hope your journey leads you to more happiness and success!
Also, love the channel! Getting insight on the history and cultural context on classic cars from someone outside my country is always fun. The similarities and differences in how cars were received and where they fit in the culture is fascinating.
Wow, I admire your honesty and your courage. You’re amazing! Thank you Steph. You look great !
All the best for 2023 ! Looking forward to your upcoming videos !!!
Thank you so much. HNY! Xx
A wonderful video. I'm so impressed that you are able to talk so openly about your experiences and thus help others who are in similar situations. Best wishes and have a great 2023.
Compared to when I first found your channel during lockdown, you are obviously a lot happier, and more confident. That's really all that matters.
Onward and upwards, and good on yer!
Normally on a RUclips video one expects a degree of a facade or something similar. This is a truly brave, honest, refreshing and inspiring video. Thank you!
Happy New Year Steph. I'm glad that you're being yourself, happy and healthy. Keep up the great work your doing. 😊👍
Thank you Allan! X
I watch and enjoy all your car videos - they are interesting and informative, but I never realised about your personal struggles. I’m so impressed by your actions and by the bravery of your brutal honesty in sharing the personal issues of your journey to help others in similar circumstances. Well done, you have my deepest respect and complete admiration. Best wishes for the rest of your journey - and keep sharing the excellent car videos too!
Well done Steph !! You look amazing and well done for telling everyone what you’ve done and been through 😊
Very eloquently put and a pleasure to listen to!

Well done Steph. Do it for you...
You have to be happy in yourself before anything. Looking forward to more reviews in the future.
Steph Steph Steph Steph Steph ! That was BRILLIANT ! I'm a 68 year old man and am SO PROUD of you. Your journey has been amazing and now look at the result ! The video is / was obviously good therapy for you and I'm so pleased for you. To be honest, I never really noticed your weight deminishing, but when you put up the 'before' shots - WOW, stunning. I could go on for ages, but won't, but I will say we are ALL so pleased for you, and Fred too - how lucky is he ! Life can only get better every day, and we are with you all the way. HAPPY NEW YEAR Steph, and we're looking forward to all your future videos. Take special care, always 🙂 X X X X

Love your vids Steph this is a bolt out of the blue for me. I totally admire your honesty and openness, Good luck with your journey
Steph you have great strength in doing this well done !
good on you, Steph, for being so upfront and honest. Like others have mentioned, I come here to see your interesting and informative reviews of classic cars but this was just as interesing. Looking forward to seeing more in 2023. It's going to be a good year :)
Thank you for watching despite it containing no car reviews hehe x
That sounds like quite the journey you are on Steph, interesting to hear what you've been through so far.
I wish you all the best for the rest of your journey and very glad to hear you are enjoying even more vintage clothing, your style has always been superb 😀
Thanks Steve! I do love my clothing x
You have done fantastic over the past year. You are a fantastic person ❤️ xx
Thanks Steph. The most honest and inspirational video on RUclips currently. I do enjoy I drive a classic, but this was a truly candid and informative video.
Thank you.
Steph how wonderfully honest of you to show us your video it takes a lot to be this frank and power to you for it I think you look great and what a wonderful person your aunt ash is helping you like she did amazing 👍

We have always loved your videos based on your content and personality. Happy New Year and looking forward to more of your videos. Cheers from the States.
Total inspiration Steph, my wife and I have struggled with our weight for years and have been thinking about the Gastric surgery for years. Love your classic car reviews keep up the good work :)
Wow, you look fabulous. What an amazing journey you have been on. Look forward to more fantastic videos from you. 😊
Thank you David ❤️❤️
Thank you for being so honest, I had Gastric Bypass (Duodenal Switch) 4 years ago and would really recommend surgery for anyone who was thinking about it. Congrats on your progress. I can tell how hard you have been working.
It’s been incredible seeing how many of you lovely RUclips folk have had it too!
You look so amazing love, I’m so glad that this decision has made a great positive impact on your life.💙 I came across your channel and fell in love with the cars and your style. I wish you all the happiness in the world, you’ve got such a wonderful personality and I’m excited to see where your career takes you.💙💙💙💙
Really interesting & informative video on your weight loss journey. I noticed at this years NEC car show that you had lost a lot of weight & was wondering what had happened.
Its rare for people to be as open & honest about things but i admire you for putting this out in the public domain.
Well done Steph & i look forward to keeping watching your car review videos.
Bless you Steph you are an amazing woman, I know about pain sweetheart believe me, have followed you from the start on utube, your love of cars quirky, old and not so old grips me as your honest reports are fascinating i have learnt so much! wishing you a fantastic new year! all my very best! x
Aw happy new year Jason! X
Great video. I think a lot of people will benefit from your experience and honesty.
I hope so! Nobody was that honest with me.
Steph, in a word, inspirational, what a brilliant, open and honest video, and your comments on the mental health/self awareness is a much understated area .
Well done Steph and thank you for sharing your story . I hope the future has nothing but the best for you. I have spent thirty years in search and rescue and, too often, I have seen the other side of stories like yours. I wish nothing but the best for you in the future.
