I’m a therapist and I love the way you explained these concepts so much. I’ve been watching your videos for so long and love seeing you every time you come up on my page…sending all the positivity your way ❤
Hi guys! I added a guided meditation to the info box as well as a Tara Brach interview which is a great introduction to her work and an insightful conversation 🙏 Thank you to all of you who tune in and it makes me so happy to see kind encouraging comments not just to me but to each other in the comments ✨💙 Love you!
Heavily relate to the feeling of *knowing* all the things to do/ how to do it… but still being so unsafe and unhappy in my body that nothing clicks. This video resonated and im going to try adding mind body connection AND acceptance.
Big small little you are made in God's image to me you have always been beautiful. And I'm not saying that for cloud I have been a subscriber of yours for years. I don't comment a lot. But in my book you always had a beautiful beautiful face and soul. God bless proud of your journey
We need more videos like this . This is so real because I do this and still do this I don’t think people understand the severity of what people say and comments affect someone specially as a child. That trauma followed me through adult hood and now I have kids & I have protect them! I also still struggle with this but I’m healing ❤️🩹
I'm literally in the same boat. It's so hard to not judge yourself and fall into bad habits. I really appreciate you posting these updates because it makes me feel like I can genuinely do it, too. Also, to add, it's nice seeing your face again! I have loved watching your videos throughout the years ❤
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. ❤ your sense of calm and knowing who you are, is quite inspiring. I've struggled with a lot of the same things you did and watching you overcome those challenges, and now, on the other side, it gives me hope.
She’s baaaaack!! I love seeing you pop up on social media again. You’ve put in so much work to make yourself a more well rounded and balanced person and I’m so glad to see how happy you are. Your body is the least interesting thing about you, dear Chrisspy! Your people here are watching you for your pure talent, charisma, beauty, and artistry. You are amazing! ❤
You're so insightful. I definitely agree that the mind is connected to the body because if the mind is a mess the body will follow suit. I struggle with body image issues. It has gotten a little better but it is still such a stuggle. I'm always comparing myself to every woman and picking apart for what I deem to be my physical flaws. My question to you is how long has this process taken you? I know it is a life-long journey but you are in such a good place. I wish I had your thinking and self-awareness. I'm going to look into those books you mentioned. Thank you for posting this video. I needed to hear your wisdom ❤
Self acceptance is such a process, it’s hard to put a timeline on it. But it begins the moment you start to allow. Holding yourself with love and compassion actually enables you to act. For me, I just took it day by day, and I started to watch my life transform, but interestingly, I wasn’t so attached to the outcome anymore, especially for my weight. My whole journey began in 2021, but we are all so unique and have different things to work through, so just remember you’re on your own timeline, and right where you’re meant to be. 💙
This was truly inspiring and I admire you for sharing such thoughtful/helpful words and key points. You’re so well spoken and you’ve inspired me to change my relationship with food and my own fears so I thank you for that sincerely. Much love coming from over here 🩷
Getting your mind right is so important for making a shift in health. Im struggling to get myself back on track for this reason. Spiritually I'm great. I make time for spiritual practices daily, I'm just having a hard time forming new healthy eating habits & breaking old unhealthy ones. Could you film some 'what I eat in a day' videos? Or like a 'day in the life of Chrisspy: mind, body & soul health' ?
Yes! I’m definitely planning on doing food videos because I love to eat and I love to cook 👩🍳 I talk more about habit building in my 75lb and 90lb weight loss vids, there are some great hacks! Basically just setting very small easy to achieve goals while focusing on consistency over anything else. 🙌
I am still on my weight loss journey and it's going well! Now I need to concentrate on my mental state and breathing and trying to calm my body down. I'm a bipolarmanic depressive and it is so hard, especially with the seasonal depression creeping in on me 😮 💜 You look & sound amazing! I've got to work on my mind body connection ! Thank you for posting these videos. I know that they will help me and other people
Love all these videos so far, they came right at the time I needed them to most! I’m currently going through my own weight loss journey but trying to stay focused with a busy work schedule as well as seeing lots of binge eating videos on social media has been tough. Any tips?
I notice this too! If I’m having sweets a few days in a row that the cravings hang around longer. But when I look back I see that it hasn’t derailed me on my health journey, so I think we can’t be too hard on ourselves 💙
Yes! I just added a link for one of my favorite RAIN meditations of hers to the info box. RAIN stands for Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture. It’s a really good one!
I know it’s non of my business, but I know “binge eating” is considered an Eating Disorder… did it ever go further for you? I’ve literally had “mia” since I was 13 and I am now 39 😖 I always wondered how other people dealt with it when it comes to the gym. I remember once I passed out at the gym and that’s when I knew I couldn’t purge my food and workout. So guess what I did instead? I started working out 2x a day 6-7 days a week! It’s always one extreme or another with me! I just don’t ever see myself stopping any extremes. And I want to. Yea, I should see a therapist. Yes, I should talk to a psychiatrist. I’m doing most of those. I know I can meditate on it, too. That’s another issue… I’ll go weeks on end meditating EVERY SINGLE DAY, and then? I won’t for like a month or two. How do you stay consistent? Thanks for the video btw! You definitely motivate me ❤
I have a hard time staying consistent with meditating too but when I’m just starting again I’ll do short meditations, sometimes just 2 minute meditations in the mornings. I never thought I would break free of the extremes but it IS possible! The radical acceptance piece is huge, and you don’t need a professional to start those practices. I think that’s a good place to start. Go at your own pace, try not to be too hard on yourself. Healing is process that happens at its own pace which we have to allow. You got this 💙🙏
That’s great it worked for you. But you can’t say she has done it wrong. It’s not for everyone. Low carb did not work for me either in the long run. Please don’t judge. Be kind.
Yes, I was definitely doing it wrong and treating it as a crash diet. Just eating ultra processed low carb foods with the sole intention of trying to lose weight. I wasn't knocking Atkins, I was more so critiquing that at 17 I thought I needed to diet and lose weight. 💙
Doesn't work for everyone. Especially people with an ED. Anyone who has been a yo-yo dieter has tried it and more than likely, they did it "correctly."
“Stay open to the possibility of your own potential” is so beautiful.

I feel the same! She is beautiful but her soul is even more stunning ❤
This made me tear up, very inspiring ❤
Thank you! 💙
High key crying because this has been me since I can remember 😢 I have lost 60 lbs and I am still not happy or see the changes. Thank you for this ❤😢
Congrats! 60 lbs is a massive accomplishment! Just shows how strong you are! Keep going! You got this!! ❤

The Sunday message I didn’t know I needed. Honesty with compassion was a great takeaway. Thank you.

Love you so much! Been watching you for so long, thank you for being so raw and honest! I just bought all 3 books cant wait to receive them!

I need more of this in my life ❤ Thank you for doing that!
Your words have helped make everything click, you gave me that missing piece. My healing will commence now. Thank you Chrisspy. It is time.
Absolutely loved this video 💚 I’ve watched it 5xs already.

You were the message for me. Thank you for the reminders.
Thank you for sharing ❤
Im so happy you are back, and barring all for us. You have always been beautiful, and inspiring. ❤
Been watching your channel for years, love from Jersey ❤️
💙💙💙
I just adore you! Thank you for sharing your wisdom ❤
Dr. Matte! Game changer for me! Love this video! Makes me realize why I gotta keep going on this journey!
Watched this video multiple times. Thank you. You’ve helped me more than you know.
This was truly inspiring and I admire you for sharing such thoughtful/helpful words and key points. You’re so well spoken and you’ve inspired me to change my relationship with food and my own fears so I thank you for that sincerely. Much love coming from over here 🩷
I needed this! ❤️
such a great video needed this
Thanks for sharing and the book recommendations. This could apply to healing other self-destructive addictions.
Absolutely! I was thinking that as I was editing- the practices are helpful for all areas of life 😊

Nothing but love from Boston

you should go deeper into this i liked this sm!!
Wishing this level of introspection and peace for myself this year…I know it took a lot of work.
You got this!
wow, you made me tear up. Thanks for this video
💙
I struggle right before my period. I noticed it’s cyclic. Trying to have what I’m in the mood for, and stop after I give my body what it wants.
I notice this too! If I’m having sweets a few days in a row that the cravings hang around longer. But when I look back I see that it hasn’t derailed me on my health journey, so I think we can’t be too hard on ourselves 💙
I have the same problem 😩 The struggle is real 😔
Would you be able to share some of Tara’s videos or any on YT that helped you get more in tuned with your body and meditation?
Yes! I just added a link for one of my favorite RAIN meditations of hers to the info box. RAIN stands for Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture. It’s a really good one!

Atkins diet healed my heart and saved me when i was told i was terminally ill. Dont knock it. You must have fine it wrong.
That’s great it worked for you. But you can’t say she has done it wrong. It’s not for everyone. Low carb did not work for me either in the long run. Please don’t judge. Be kind.

“If it doesn’t resignate with you, just leave it, disregard it”
Wow. Beautiful said. Thanks for sharing your story, it really resonates with me. 🩷
