I hope you stop feeling embarrassed for having an ED. It’s not embarrassing! It’s life! So many people have to struggle with it, you’re not alone ❤ I agree that I would never leave a hurtful comment. I’m sorry that happened. Thank you for being vulnerable and I’m looking forward to seeing more vlogs
Samantha, from one ED fighting babe to another, my best advice is to ignore the embarrassment and “shame” that surfaces when talking about your triggers, etc. I’ve struggled for 13 years with my ED, and something I’ve learned is EDs thrive in secrecy. When we ignore them, or shove them under a rug, they only get stronger. Saying you’re having a hard time is the brave route! Healing is not linear, but from all the videos of yours I’ve watched, it is obvious that you are fighting tooth and nail against your ED, and you’re gonna win. ♥️
You are not boring or annoying, you are brave for talking about mental health. ED recovery is a long and winding journey. Keep chugging along. We are here to support you!
It bothers me so much when people are so mean to others. We all fight internal battles everyday, and to cut someone down for that is totally unacceptable. You are an amazing soul inside and out. Don't ever forget that, Sam. You are strong and beautiful. 💛💛
Samantha- ED’s have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness and they require so much therapy and work to overcome. Never feel ashamed of something you can’t control, you’re trying your best.. it’s amazing that you are strong enough to overcome comments about your weight, that’s something you should be proud of ❤
I love that you openly talk about your history with an eating disorder. As someone who has battled this for years, being extremely underweight and “recovering” through binging and is now overweight, hearing you be open about the healing process is so meaningful
I appreciate you talking about your ED. It’s helped me to hear I’m not alone. You shut out the negativity and listen to all of us who LOVE YOU! You’re beautiful, funny and genuine. An extra Sam video!!🎉🎉 The frog headband is EVERYTHING! 🐸🐸
I love you showing your house in its state instead of trying to make it “perfect” for the cameras. This is real and it’s life. I suffer from depression & anxiety but starting to think I might have adhd I need to test and I am so nervous too. I adore your videos and the way they get edited is gold ❤
It is SO refreshing to see someone who lives the same way most do. It is so lovely to see a real person in a real home with a real life with real struggles. RUclips/social media often drown me in these picture perfect lifestyles. Love your videos and you!
Ah, Sam, I love you so much! I love hearing you talk about your faith as a Christian myself, I'm fourteen and you've always inspired and helped me with confidence! Thank you so much and I'm so proud of you! and I had to hop back on here and say I GOT THE REFERENCE AND IT MADE ME LAUGH
Also, you’re never boring! Been watching all of your videos as soon as they come out for a couple years now. I appreciate your rawness and I struggle with the same things. I’m sorry you don’t have your meds because I’m sure your brain fog is heavy. I’m currently trying to find motivation to do things when I get home from work. I appreciate your videos and they give me motivation to move forward knowing I’m not the only one struggling. I appreciate you 💜 keep pushing girlie!
I really hope that the tictok crew/new followers or new people leaving comments who haven’t rolled with you over the years don’t make you spiral away. Because it really felt like a somewhat safe space here for a long time. It just is always a catch 22 with life. Bigger channel/presence means more spotlight and more trolls. But the real ones love ya. Don’t let anyone dim your light. Weight does not = self worth no matter how much society wants to say otherwise
It’s such a blessing to keep seeing your face. Seeing you take care of your space and also yourself is uplifting and sexy. People commonly think you have to show your skin to be a queen. Simplicity and self support are *the* ways to show your beauty. Keep thriving! 💙
I recently gained 30 lbs from binging after going a year binge free. You are not alone and we’ve got this ❤❤ thank you for being vulnerable so people like me don’t feel so alone
Samantha, you don’t know how happy it makes me to see a woman who has a body like mine be so successful on RUclips. The people who post hate comments just don’t understand what it means to struggle with EDs.
Never feel embarrassed about having an ED. I hope you can continue to show yourself the love and gentleness you show to everyone else. You are strong and resilient for sharing, even though it's hard. I'm so thankful for people like you that work to break down the stigmas around ED's. We love you
Give yourself some grace! You’ve worked so much this year and moved across the country it’s stressful and bingeing is a comfort you’re used to it’s ok to fall off your journey sometimes and take a break, you’ll get back to it when you’re ready 💕
Wow I can’t believe people are so mean how terrible. I said this on your moms platform also that we all should be supporting each other not tearing at our issues especially when we are being honest about ourselves. You bring a lot of hope and happiness to so many who also have struggles of their own. ❤
The adhd medication shortage is horrible!!! Why this isn’t a bigger priority is just another reminder how the US views mental health! 😡 it’s like sending a person who needs glasses or contacts out in the world with them.
Nooooo omg I’m so sorry people were so mean to you!! That breaks my heart. Also, don’t ever feel bad for talking about your ED. Loads of us here struggle with them too, and it’s real life man. You’re the best, Sam, and you don’t deserve to be treated the way you were. ❤❤
I wanted to say that I find your content relatable. It inspires me to dress up more and be comfortable with wearing a bikini. When you opened up about bingeing I felt okay to think of my bingeing is okay but it will take time. So thank you for putting yourself out there because it really does inspire us ladies to do the same and be more confident in our skin 🩷
who needs a therapist when we have you? but seriously, i love how open you are and it reminds me i am not alone. i appreciate everything you do and am so proud of how far you have come❤️
Thank you for treating us like your friends even when some people don't act like it; it's actually super inspiring to hear you talk about your ED, not annoying, and it uplifts me to know that our ED journeys can have highs and lows without it being a reason to completely panic. Thanks for making a space where talking about EDs doesn't have to be embarrassing but instead can be normal and safe
I’m so surprised to hear people were being mean on your last video, I kept thinking you looked so cute! That gray set looked so good on you even without a bra!! Anyway, I’m with you girl, I’ve been on my own health journey and I struggle with binge eating disorder. I know how frustrating and embarrassing the binge and restrict cycle is. I know everyone says this, but don’t forget you’re not alone. I adore you!!! 💗🫶🏻😚
You’re the only influencer that I relate to. I love how open you are about your mental health and binge eating makes me feel less alone in those struggles. I feel like I’m hanging out with a friend when I watch you. You is my fave!
Don’t be embarrassed about it Sam! Our relationship with food can get difficult at times but it’s a journey that has ups and downs. I hope you don’t beat yourself up about it too much bc you’re doin great !
Getting me motivated to do the dishes while watching your video. You are so great and the most relatable person that I follow on RUclips. You are a true human-being showing us your life and do not be embarrassed it’s a journey with ups and downs. Love you Samantha!❤️❤️
i've been following your journey for a little over a year now and the conclusion that i've come up with as someone who's been watching ytb videos since middle school ( i'm in my 3rd year of college now ) is that you're one of the best content creators here! your content feels so real and you give off such sweet, loving and warm energy i honestly can't get enough of your ytb videos and watch them one by one without ever getting bored! don't let anyone or even your own thoughts get you down, you're the reason many people smile (me as one of them😅) and we feel extremely grateful to have you! love you always sam❤️🩹
I love your videos. I love that you are a delightful and sunny ray of chaos (affectionate) that shares your shine with all of us. I often go back and watch your videos on days when I need a little motivation to tidy my space or when I need a reminder that I can seek love in myself even when I am sad or struggling. The last portion of this video will be something I revisit tomorrow when it is not so late and I need to pick up my office. It is like we are cleaning together and for ADHD brains, sometimes that is all it takes to start and do the thing.
i never comment on youtube videos but i really wanted to add another voice to encourage you :) you are such a refreshing presence to see and your videos make me love myself more because you are such a comforting and relatable presence !! you don’t have to be perfect babe, you are making SO MUCH more of a difference being vulnerable about your flaws and insecurities :)
Don’t be embarrassed you beautiful queen! Hearing you speak on your ED makes me feel so seen and heard and some days helps me be easier on myself knowing that I’m not alone. You are amazing love! 💕
Thank you for taking about your unhealthy eating habits. It has brought attention to my own unhealthy habits that I never really noticed before. You’re so brave and beautiful!
I watched this while I was working on my jewelry website! It’s been such a daunting task, but I’m tackling it! Finally! Sam, you’re the best company. Love being productive together :)
Love you Sam! My therapist told me something once and I always try to keep it in mind when my anxiety is doing the most, “healing isnt a straight line, sometimes you double back on yourself but the important thing to remember is the fact that you are moving”. Stay strong you beautiful human 🩵
Sam you are a light in your viewers’ lives! I’ll never understand the thought process behind those who leave hate comments when all you do is inspire self love and joy. Keep doing you no matter WHAT.
I have also suffered with an ED in the past and just remember that there is no such thing as perfection. If you slip up with a binge, all that matters is that you show yourself grace and forgiveness. We are incredibly hard on ourselves. Try to show yourself love in times of hardship.
Samantha! Don't apologize for talking about your ED 🥺 because I am just like you with a binge eating disorder and seeing you try to overcome yours is encouraging me to try and overcome my binge🤍 thank you for being real about yourself and your emotions 🫶🏻
I struggle with binge eating too and I actually have gained some weight this year but seeing that you keep trying to live a healthier lifestyle with what you cook or your workout challenges motivates me to keep trying as well
Honestly I keep rewatching and cleaning up my house watching ❤️and I love hearing u talk about your problems like the eating problems I understand and feel the same way ❤
I totally understand where you’re coming from. It’s so hard when you were doing so good and then you don’t feel like you are. I think when some people take a health journey, they go so restrictive like I did and then once they realize that that lifestyle doesn’t work it’s really hard to find a balance, I’ve also been struggling with binge eating lately, so thank you for sharing
I feel as if we’ve all had issues with our weight and how much/what we consume. I’m currently dealing with it, yet again, but I’m fully aware of it and I feel like that’s a step to getting to your goal. You’re a lot more active in your new home and that’s so important to not only your physical but your mental. You’ve been glowing brighter lately. You got this💛
I have bad anxiety being at home alone and your videos always make me feel so calm like we’re on FaceTime and they’re so relatable I’m so grateful for you
You keep saying that you’re being annoying by talking about the same stuff, and you are sooo not at all! Your authenticity and beauty shines such a bright light on this world. I’ve been sort of a silent watcher for years, and I just adore you and Momma Kelly so much. It has been fantastic to see you grow and you have always been an inspiration to me. I love your videos because it truly does feel like a little hang out sesh with one of my besties. Keep being you Sam, you’re a beautiful human inside and out should be so very proud of yourself. 🩵🩵🩵
Love you so much Sam🫶🏼 You’re beautiful inside and out! Don’t be ashamed for all things you’re going through. Nobody’s perfect! It took me years to stop having an ED. I have faith that you can get through any obstacle that gets thrown your way! I’m proud of the progress you made since I first started watching you ❤. I’ll fight all the haters for you 👊🏼
I love you sam. We have many of the same struggles and I wholeheartedly understand what you’re feeling. I’m so sorry people left mean and discouraging comments. I hope you know how incredible you are and what a difference it makes in someone’s life to hear someone they look up to, openly talk about their struggles. Recovery isn’t linear. Keep going. I appreciate you and this video more than you understand . 🩷
i’ve also been struggling with food and eating junk food late at night. i just moved to florida and it’s nice to hear that im not the only one struggling. it’s a really lonely feeling so thank you for sharing
Sam you said it "I've been feeling bleh. Because I've been treating myself bleh" You deserve and have earned to treat yourself well and with kindness whether you're doing what you want or you're struggling to get there. You always have a choice. You don't HAVE to weigh yourself. The number on the scale can fluctuate 5-10 pounds PER DAY for everyone, so you should really use the scale to take averages over time. You'll always be learning
The task I'm doing with you is my wild amount of laundry that I've been staring at for days (: I absolutely love your content Sam. There's something so special about what you do.
This video made me actually get up and make myself something decent to eat instead of putting it off for tomorrow. Thank you for the motivation ❤❤❤ you are doing great
Sam, you are a huge inspiration to me. First off, you look great and beautiful as always. Second, I was thinking to myself in the video, wow she’s from the same area as me and I’ve been wanting to move forever and haven’t had the courage. I was thinking in my head she has a super nice place and accomplishing all her goals and I’m so happy for her. I like how honest you were at the end of the video and let us know that change and all of that was not easy for you and you’re just like everybody else. We all have our own ways of coping that aren’t necessarily healthy, literally all of us have at least one way; no one is perfect. Thank you for being your honest, raw, beautiful self and sharing the good and the bad. Much love and prayers of peace to you always 💕
I’m so sorry to hear about the negativity you got on ur last video. I literally love love love your vids esp bc I’m from Florida and I love watching you do activities so close to me. I truly want to see you succeed!! Love you Sam!!
I wasn’t expecting it to be so emotional too! It hit me deep in my heart! I think anyone who hasn’t been happy with who they are or about their body can feel something from that movie
I have been watching you on here for years and years, when you used to get drunk and do your makeup, you are such a bright light and so so beautiful. I love how real you are about everything, and I relate to you so much on our EDs. Take it with a grain of salt, not everyone understands how they work and you are beautiful just the way you are in your own skin🤍 the whole time I watched this video I was doing dishes:) I love you! Never change
It breaks my heart people can be so mean! You bring me so much joy and I have loved watching you grow your channel over the years! your vlogs bring me so much joy and I'm sorry that anyone would ever bring you negativity! ❤ please keep on keepin on samantha jo!
thank you for sharing everything you choose to share with all of us absolute strangers. you are very brave for sharing your highs and your lows. i count you as a blessing from GOD! keep on being the thick legend that you are and were made to be 😊
You are such a beautiful human! I love that you talk of your insecurities, we should all do this and move on. Life's too short. Thankyou for brightening my day ❤😊
Sam!! You are beautiful and you have worked so so hard. Whenever I feel bad about myself, I always remember what you said. “My problems won’t go away just because I decided to be happy.” During our journey, we WILL experience the heart beat of life- to have it all, we must have it all, even the ups and downs. Your cycle is breaking, you’re right- this is NOT day 1!! This is just part of it. WE love you so much no matter how you look, please take care of yourself and feel proud 💕
Your videos have gotten me through such low points. I've been watching since Wisconsin. I remember you and Alex [learning to be fearless] did a gift exchange thing, and I was SO excited to find a fellow Wisconsin girly on RUclips. Anyway, you give me hope that maybe even through my severe depression, I can still achieve my dreams. And I cannot tell you how much I appreciate that. I'm genuinely so proud of you, even though I get that I don't really know you. I sure feel like I do after watching so long. Anyway, keep shining, love. You're doing amazing!!
I love watching your videos because I relate to your content so much. There are days when I can't get out of bed or I'm a mess, and my house is a mess, and seeing you do hard things motivates me too. Also, I always have a laugh watching you and love seeing your animals and Mama Kelly ❤️
Hey love! Remember growth is never linear, it comes in waves 🌊 you are doing great, and your journey with overcoming an eating disorder is NOT embarrassing. Be kind to yourself and give yourself credit for all the other things you have improved on. Boost that confidence and try to be more gentle. Easier said than done but sometimes our destructive self-talk can be brutal, so tell her to stfu cuz youre amazing❤ ILY
Also I immediately saw the vibrancy and difference in quality and once you talked about the new camera with your frog Headband on the colours are so vivid and the picture looks awesome!
gosh I’m so sorry that u had so much negative comments! I totally agree with your view, idk why people have the urge to point out negative stuff verbally. I mean they are probably just projecting their insecurities on someone else, but still that doesn’t excuse their behaviour! I rlly enjoy your long vlogs, they make me feel less alone!
Sam, I am sorry people are being hateful towards you. You are so beautiful and such a ray of sunshine. I also love that you are so open with your struggles because it makes me feel less alone with my own struggles. Thank you so much and never stop being who you are ❤
I think you should feel proud of everything you’ve accomplished and how far you have come. Give yourself some grace girl! You’re doing so sooo good and all we can do is our best everyday 💕
Hi Sam! I love watching your videos. Today is the first time I washed dishes since my brother passed away almost two years ago. Depression is difficult especially when trying to do tasks that you hate. Thank you for making the process easier 💕
ugh i work in the mental health field and so many of my clients are experiencing the adhd med shortage!!! it is so frustrating!!! these meds are so important for people and not having them can have serious repercussions. 🤞🏻🤞🏻 you get yours soon!!!
just wanted to say that your videos are like therapy lol, thank you for being so raw with your journey, you truly do make a difference. thank you for letting us know that we aren't alone, keep being you and don't let those comments get to you, remember that you're light for many people.
Your the best I love the realness i struggle with a lot of the things you do and watching you makes me realize I can still be enjoyable to be around even while struggling with multiple things. You always make me laugh, thank you for that not much does these days. Remember your doing the best you can everyday stay strong bestie 💕
You never annoy me Sam. I love your laid back ramblings & tangents you go on, it makes me feel comfortable & seen. We love a good tangent 🙌🏻😂 I think I have ADHD but I haven’t started the process of asking my doctor for a diagnosis assessment, I’m nervous & anxious & honestly embarrassed to admit how much I’m struggling 😢 I really appreciate you being so open & honest about your struggles & feelings with us 🥹 You’re amazing & I’ve nothing but love for you 💕 I shall report back after I muster up the courage to book a doctor appointment, wish me luck 🍀🤞🏻
I know that this video is 5 months old and maybe there won’t be interaction but I just want to say since I found one of your Vlogmas videos I have just been watching everything that pops up on my feed from your channel. Aside from you being funny and just like, a real human being on the Internet ,I really appreciate how open you are with your struggles and it is NOT annoying at all listening to you talk about your mental health and any other issues. It just validates, so many people on different levels, which is something that does not get put out on display on the Internet especially when they are doing your kind of work. Basically all of this just to say thank you for being you and I wish you more success on your future videos. (Also, congratulations on your new house….gonna go watch that now 😅🎉)
I am a new subscriber and I LOVE YOUUUUU!!!! Oh my gosh I've watched almost every single video of yours. ESPECIALLY your vlogmas!! Because I love Christmas and you gave me the motivation and hype to do my very own vlogmas. You are now one of my favorite RUclipsrs. I literally love you !
Noo wayyy I'm sorry to hear you had to read those mean comments queen! You are such an inspiration being open and sharing your journey and struggles - and it's surely not embarrassing at all! So many people have to struggle with it, you’re not alone ❤
sam!!! you are such an inspiration to me because i also struggle to follow a routine, keep a clean space and be kind to myself. i live your channel so so much and i wish you nothing but the best! i wish you the best of luck with 25 hard!!💪🏽💖
since you asked: my task while watching was making a journal from scratch to document my and my boyfriend's vacation :)) about the video: I absolutely love how open you try to be about ed and other issues, ur so brave and inspiring!! lots of love for u
I am usually a silent viewer in the sense that I usually don't leave any comments of any kind, but hearing that there are people being mean to Sam. No way! Sam your videos are always a delight, and I love watching them after spending the summer alone in a new city they really helped me to not be so lonely. Keep being you and no matter what we love you and support you! ❤
you are legit so amazing you inspire me so so much and you make me want to keep going just thank you thank you so much for just being you!! i am so proud of you! i love you more than anything! keep going love keep going!
I’m so sorry about the hate you’ve been receiving. Just know you have a crowd of people who just want the best for you and support you in every way. Love you girly 💕
You are one of my happy places on the internet. My task while you cleaned was to move from my hospital bed to the chair. Listening to you while I did it was a nice distraction.
Just wanted to say, shame on those who negatively comment on your appearance or videos. Samantha, you are a beautiful person inside and out. Those who feel they have to put you down have their own problems they apparently can’t deal with, so they make themselves feel superior by cutting people down. Just shows what pathetic human beings they are. You are a one of a kind, never change.
Girl don’t care about what people say I’m 13 and I’ve been told I’m big for my age and honestly I watch you because I relate to you and you make me happier and I can love myself and you make me productive love ya Bestie ❤❤❤❤❤
Two videos almost back to back? A queen. We love it.

i've been following your journey for a little over a year now and the conclusion that i've come up with as someone who's been watching ytb videos since middle school ( i'm in my 3rd year of college now ) is that you're one of the best content creators here! your content feels so real and you give off such sweet, loving and warm energy i honestly can't get enough of your ytb videos and watch them one by one without ever getting bored! don't let anyone or even your own thoughts get you down, you're the reason many people smile (me as one of them😅) and we feel extremely grateful to have you! love you always sam❤️🩹
I love your videos. I love that you are a delightful and sunny ray of chaos (affectionate) that shares your shine with all of us. I often go back and watch your videos on days when I need a little motivation to tidy my space or when I need a reminder that I can seek love in myself even when I am sad or struggling. The last portion of this video will be something I revisit tomorrow when it is not so late and I need to pick up my office. It is like we are cleaning together and for ADHD brains, sometimes that is all it takes to start and do the thing.
i never comment on youtube videos but i really wanted to add another voice to encourage you :) you are such a refreshing presence to see and your videos make me love myself more because you are such a comforting and relatable presence !! you don’t have to be perfect babe, you are making SO MUCH more of a difference being vulnerable about your flaws and insecurities :)
Don’t be embarrassed you beautiful queen! Hearing you speak on your ED makes me feel so seen and heard and some days helps me be easier on myself knowing that I’m not alone. You are amazing love! 💕
Thank you for taking about your unhealthy eating habits. It has brought attention to my own unhealthy habits that I never really noticed before. You’re so brave and beautiful!
I watched this while I was working on my jewelry website! It’s been such a daunting task, but I’m tackling it! Finally! Sam, you’re the best company. Love being productive together :)
Love you Sam! My therapist told me something once and I always try to keep it in mind when my anxiety is doing the most, “healing isnt a straight line, sometimes you double back on yourself but the important thing to remember is the fact that you are moving”. Stay strong you beautiful human 🩵
Sam you are a light in your viewers’ lives! I’ll never understand the thought process behind those who leave hate comments when all you do is inspire self love and joy. Keep doing you no matter WHAT.
I have also suffered with an ED in the past and just remember that there is no such thing as perfection. If you slip up with a binge, all that matters is that you show yourself grace and forgiveness. We are incredibly hard on ourselves. Try to show yourself love in times of hardship.
yesss we love waking up to 30 mins of a sammie jo video 😫🥳
Which is few and far between these days!
Samantha! Don't apologize for talking about your ED 🥺 because I am just like you with a binge eating disorder and seeing you try to overcome yours is encouraging me to try and overcome my binge🤍 thank you for being real about yourself and your emotions 🫶🏻
19:59 picking outfits for a weekend festival!!! Thanks for the motivation girl, we got this 💕💕💕
I struggle with binge eating too and I actually have gained some weight this year but seeing that you keep trying to live a healthier lifestyle with what you cook or your workout challenges motivates me to keep trying as well
Honestly I keep rewatching and cleaning up my house watching ❤️and I love hearing u talk about your problems like the eating problems I understand and feel the same way ❤
I totally understand where you’re coming from. It’s so hard when you were doing so good and then you don’t feel like you are. I think when some people take a health journey, they go so restrictive like I did and then once they realize that that lifestyle doesn’t work it’s really hard to find a balance, I’ve also been struggling with binge eating lately, so thank you for sharing
I feel as if we’ve all had issues with our weight and how much/what we consume. I’m currently dealing with it, yet again, but I’m fully aware of it and I feel like that’s a step to getting to your goal. You’re a lot more active in your new home and that’s so important to not only your physical but your mental. You’ve been glowing brighter lately. You got this💛
I have bad anxiety being at home alone and your videos always make me feel so calm like we’re on FaceTime and they’re so relatable I’m so grateful for you
you and your colorful home are such rays of sunshine that bring me so much joy💓🌞 love you, Sam, and so grateful for your content!!
You keep saying that you’re being annoying by talking about the same stuff, and you are sooo not at all! Your authenticity and beauty shines such a bright light on this world. I’ve been sort of a silent watcher for years, and I just adore you and Momma Kelly so much. It has been fantastic to see you grow and you have always been an inspiration to me. I love your videos because it truly does feel like a little hang out sesh with one of my besties. Keep being you Sam, you’re a beautiful human inside and out should be so very proud of yourself. 🩵🩵🩵
Love you so much Sam🫶🏼 You’re beautiful inside and out! Don’t be ashamed for all things you’re going through. Nobody’s perfect! It took me years to stop having an ED. I have faith that you can get through any obstacle that gets thrown your way! I’m proud of the progress you made since I first started watching you ❤. I’ll fight all the haters for you 👊🏼
I love you sam. We have many of the same struggles and I wholeheartedly understand what you’re feeling. I’m so sorry people left mean and discouraging comments. I hope you know how incredible you are and what a difference it makes in someone’s life to hear someone they look up to, openly talk about their struggles. Recovery isn’t linear. Keep going. I appreciate you and this video more than you understand . 🩷
i’ve also been struggling with food and eating junk food late at night. i just moved to florida and it’s nice to hear that im not the only one struggling. it’s a really lonely feeling so thank you for sharing
Sam you said it
"I've been feeling bleh. Because I've been treating myself bleh"
You deserve and have earned to treat yourself well and with kindness whether you're doing what you want or you're struggling to get there. You always have a choice.
You don't HAVE to weigh yourself. The number on the scale can fluctuate 5-10 pounds PER DAY for everyone, so you should really use the scale to take averages over time.
You'll always be learning
The task I'm doing with you is my wild amount of laundry that I've been staring at for days (:
I absolutely love your content Sam. There's something so special about what you do.
Sam I love when u talk abt ur mental health, I’ve struggled with my mental health before and u make me feel not alone🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
I just binged watch your videos yesterday and now a new video??!! I love!
This video made me actually get up and make myself something decent to eat instead of putting it off for tomorrow. Thank you for the motivation ❤❤❤ you are doing great
Sam, you are a huge inspiration to me. First off, you look great and beautiful as always. Second, I was thinking to myself in the video, wow she’s from the same area as me and I’ve been wanting to move forever and haven’t had the courage. I was thinking in my head she has a super nice place and accomplishing all her goals and I’m so happy for her. I like how honest you were at the end of the video and let us know that change and all of that was not easy for you and you’re just like everybody else. We all have our own ways of coping that aren’t necessarily healthy, literally all of us have at least one way; no one is perfect. Thank you for being your honest, raw, beautiful self and sharing the good and the bad. Much love and prayers of peace to you always 💕
I’m so sorry to hear about the negativity you got on ur last video. I literally love love love your vids esp bc I’m from Florida and I love watching you do activities so close to me. I truly want to see you succeed!! Love you Sam!!
I loved that video too! Wth is wrong with people? They must have a bummer existence
I wasn’t expecting it to be so emotional too! It hit me deep in my heart! I think anyone who hasn’t been happy with who they are or about their body can feel something from that movie
I have been watching you on here for years and years, when you used to get drunk and do your makeup, you are such a bright light and so so beautiful. I love how real you are about everything, and I relate to you so much on our EDs. Take it with a grain of salt, not everyone understands how they work and you are beautiful just the way you are in your own skin🤍 the whole time I watched this video I was doing dishes:) I love you! Never change
It breaks my heart people can be so mean! You bring me so much joy and I have loved watching you grow your channel over the years! your vlogs bring me so much joy and I'm sorry that anyone would ever bring you negativity! ❤ please keep on keepin on samantha jo!
thank you for sharing everything you choose to share with all of us absolute strangers. you are very brave for sharing your highs and your lows. i count you as a blessing from GOD! keep on being the thick legend that you are and were made to be 😊
You are such a beautiful human! I love that you talk of your insecurities, we should all do this and move on. Life's too short. Thankyou for brightening my day ❤😊
Sam!! You are beautiful and you have worked so so hard. Whenever I feel bad about myself, I always remember what you said. “My problems won’t go away just because I decided to be happy.” During our journey, we WILL experience the heart beat of life- to have it all, we must have it all, even the ups and downs. Your cycle is breaking, you’re right- this is NOT day 1!! This is just part of it. WE love you so much no matter how you look, please take care of yourself and feel proud 💕
Your videos have gotten me through such low points. I've been watching since Wisconsin. I remember you and Alex [learning to be fearless] did a gift exchange thing, and I was SO excited to find a fellow Wisconsin girly on RUclips. Anyway, you give me hope that maybe even through my severe depression, I can still achieve my dreams. And I cannot tell you how much I appreciate that. I'm genuinely so proud of you, even though I get that I don't really know you. I sure feel like I do after watching so long. Anyway, keep shining, love. You're doing amazing!!
I love watching your videos because I relate to your content so much. There are days when I can't get out of bed or I'm a mess, and my house is a mess, and seeing you do hard things motivates me too. Also, I always have a laugh watching you and love seeing your animals and Mama Kelly ❤️
Hey love! Remember growth is never linear, it comes in waves 🌊 you are doing great, and your journey with overcoming an eating disorder is NOT embarrassing. Be kind to yourself and give yourself credit for all the other things you have improved on. Boost that confidence and try to be more gentle. Easier said than done but sometimes our destructive self-talk can be brutal, so tell her to stfu cuz youre amazing❤ ILY
I love that you talk about you ED it makes me feel like I’m not alone thank you
Sam you make mi mind to enjoy to see what is a day in your life, you are genuine soul, hugs from latin america, Chile❤
Also I immediately saw the vibrancy and difference in quality and once you talked about the new camera with your frog Headband on the colours are so vivid and the picture looks awesome!
gosh I’m so sorry that u had so much negative comments! I totally agree with your view, idk why people have the urge to point out negative stuff verbally. I mean they are probably just projecting their insecurities on someone else, but still that doesn’t excuse their behaviour! I rlly enjoy your long vlogs, they make me feel less alone!
Sam, I am sorry people are being hateful towards you. You are so beautiful and such a ray of sunshine. I also love that you are so open with your struggles because it makes me feel less alone with my own struggles. Thank you so much and never stop being who you are ❤
SAM ILYSM!!!! I've been with you since your high school volleyball days and I truly feel like we're friends. You'll always have my support ❤
I think you should feel proud of everything you’ve accomplished and how far you have come.
Give yourself some grace girl!
You’re doing so sooo good and all we can do is our best everyday 💕
Hi Sam! I love watching your videos. Today is the first time I washed dishes since my brother passed away almost two years ago. Depression is difficult especially when trying to do tasks that you hate. Thank you for making the process easier 💕
ugh i work in the mental health field and so many of my clients are experiencing the adhd med shortage!!! it is so frustrating!!! these meds are so important for people and not having them can have serious repercussions. 🤞🏻🤞🏻 you get yours soon!!!
just wanted to say that your videos are like therapy lol, thank you for being so raw with your journey, you truly do make a difference. thank you for letting us know that we aren't alone, keep being you and don't let those comments get to you, remember that you're light for many people.
Thank you for everything you do for us Sam! We love you!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your the best I love the realness i struggle with a lot of the things you do and watching you makes me realize I can still be enjoyable to be around even while struggling with multiple things. You always make me laugh, thank you for that not much does these days. Remember your doing the best you can everyday stay strong bestie 💕
You are doing amazing Sam and that’s all we want for you!!! Please don’t feel embarrassed or ashamed of any struggles you are not alone. ❤
You never annoy me Sam. I love your laid back ramblings & tangents you go on, it makes me feel comfortable & seen. We love a good tangent 🙌🏻😂 I think I have ADHD but I haven’t started the process of asking my doctor for a diagnosis assessment, I’m nervous & anxious & honestly embarrassed to admit how much I’m struggling 😢 I really appreciate you being so open & honest about your struggles & feelings with us 🥹 You’re amazing & I’ve nothing but love for you 💕 I shall report back after I muster up the courage to book a doctor appointment, wish me luck 🍀🤞🏻
I know that this video is 5 months old and maybe there won’t be interaction but I just want to say since I found one of your Vlogmas videos I have just been watching everything that pops up on my feed from your channel. Aside from you being funny and just like, a real human being on the Internet ,I really appreciate how open you are with your struggles and it is NOT annoying at all listening to you talk about your mental health and any other issues. It just validates, so many people on different levels, which is something that does not get put out on display on the Internet especially when they are doing your kind of work.
Basically all of this just to say thank you for being you and I wish you more success on your future videos. (Also, congratulations on your new house….gonna go watch that now 😅🎉)
I am a new subscriber and I LOVE YOUUUUU!!!! Oh my gosh I've watched almost every single video of yours. ESPECIALLY your vlogmas!! Because I love Christmas and you gave me the motivation and hype to do my very own vlogmas. You are now one of my favorite RUclipsrs. I literally love you !
Noo wayyy I'm sorry to hear you had to read those mean comments queen!
You are such an inspiration being open and sharing your journey and struggles - and it's surely not embarrassing at all! So many people have to struggle with it, you’re not alone ❤
I can’t believe people telling you all those mean things…. Ur amazing ur honest and real !! Thank you for sharing ❤
Putting away laundry and packing! Body double chore vlogs are key to my well-being. Thank you ❤
I love you sam!! I cleaned my room, packed a little to move and did work while watching with you and it helped SO much❤ 😊
sam!!!
you are such an inspiration to me because i also struggle to follow a routine, keep a clean space and be kind to myself. i live your channel so so much and i wish you nothing but the best! i wish you the best of luck with 25 hard!!💪🏽💖
since you asked: my task while watching was making a journal from scratch to document my and my boyfriend's vacation :)) about the video: I absolutely love how open you try to be about ed and other issues, ur so brave and inspiring!! lots of love for u
I am usually a silent viewer in the sense that I usually don't leave any comments of any kind, but hearing that there are people being mean to Sam. No way! Sam your videos are always a delight, and I love watching them after spending the summer alone in a new city they really helped me to not be so lonely. Keep being you and no matter what we love you and support you! ❤
you are legit so amazing you inspire me so so much and you make me want to keep going just thank you thank you so much for just being you!! i am so proud of you! i love you more than anything! keep going love keep going!
Samantha Jo you’re vibe is amazing I love it, it inspires me so much
I’m not over hearing about mental health or your ED ! Don’t feel embarrassed!! I hope things get easier beautiful 💛
I’m so sorry about the hate you’ve been receiving. Just know you have a crowd of people who just want the best for you and support you in every way. Love you girly 💕
You’re my comfort person ❤ been here since the Christmas vlogs in your first apartment. SO MUCH LOVE from a fellow wisco girl
You are one of my happy places on the internet.
My task while you cleaned was to move from my hospital bed to the chair. Listening to you while I did it was a nice distraction.
Just wanted to say, shame on those who negatively comment on your appearance or videos. Samantha, you are a beautiful person inside and out. Those who feel they have to put you down have their own problems they apparently can’t deal with, so they make themselves feel superior by cutting people down. Just shows what pathetic human beings they are. You are a one of a kind, never change.
Girl don’t care about what people say I’m 13 and I’ve been told I’m big for my age and honestly I watch you because I relate to you and you make me happier and I can love myself and you make me productive love ya Bestie ❤❤❤❤❤
Your videos make my day, Samantha! You're my comfort content creator
