I’m at the upper end of the “healthy bmi” but I don’t feel healthy and how you described the feeling (feeling trapped in body that’s not mine) is exactly how I feel… the version of me in my head looks how I used to and I’d like to get back to her soon :) great vid💫
Same here, only the version of me in my head looks like how I want to look like. Think, Tyra Banks, Sophia Loren, and Sofia Vergara!
But isn't that version years ago?!? At least, that is my problem. When I was "perfect looking", but my head was elsewhere. So no appreciation then.
I’m an emotional eater and this was very insightful and helpful.
thank you for your story. i eat to disassociate often its crazy - i am such an emotional eater - but for sure im starting today. like you said:”so many people have lost weight and so can i”
I slowly gained 20lb since 2019 to end of 2022. I started to learn swimming by myself July 2022. I went 6/7 days a week for an hour. I cook and eat two meals a day. The weight went away very slowly at first but I wasn’t in it to lose weight, I only wanted to master swimming. Thankfully it is quite enjoyable therefore it was never a chore to go to the pool and cook from scratch. I only gauge weight by wearing my old clothes. Now I can wear my old size 4 clothes. My body has also changed. It is leaner and muscular at the same time. When I was a hiker was a size 2 but I had no shapely arms and back. Swimming sculpted my body much better.
As an emotional eater and someone who’s gone back-and-forth I’m totally ready to just do it the last half of this year. I’d like to lose 30 pounds. I’m excited to say I finally accomplished it.
How did it go? Did you accomplish it?
Everything you said about feeling trapped has been holding me back for so long it’s nice to know I’m not alone
I don’t like the criticism of the doctor too much, if you were not extremely overweight there was no reason for the doctor to dwell on it…
I mean she wasn’t extremely overweight but she was heavier in a short amount of time for her body. I think as doctors they view patients as a whole and not individually which causes many issues
I agree with her that our heath care system does not prioritize the right things though. They rarely focus on diet and weight. I’ve learned that’s because they don’t have any education on nutrition
I really appreciate how realistic your approach is. Alot of people fall into the trap of losing like, 10lbs in a month, and I think more people seeing someone like you losing weight slow and steady will lead to them having healthier attitudes towards diet :) As a long-time fan of the channel and fellow dancer, great video :>>>
I’ve been on a weight loss journey since I was 14, and believe me, I’m not stopping anytime soon. I’m going to teach my goals by the end of the year!
Also, can you do a what I eat in a day video on weight loss? Thank you!
You got this! And yes :)
@@KayleenBabel also, can you do a video on how you slimmed down your legs?
This is exactly how I was feeling, just lost 6 lbs in about a week. I am my happiest now being healthier, taking care of my skin, taking vitamins etc. This video is definitely reassuring.
Great advice! I also stuggle with emotional eating but i have discovered sometimes is better to eat even if you are not hungry if you have a eating plan or are trying to achieve a calorie deficit. For me if im not hungry at the time of a meal and i skip it it usually triggers a sort of a binge if i let myself get too hungry, and makes me not have the most balanced meal and makes me eat beyond fullness. So i usually still make sure to eat something balanced but a smaller portion.
I felt so identified, it’s frustrating to see your body and feeling uncomfortable with it. Mostly because of my emotional eating habit. I wouldn’t thought I really needed to see this video until now, thanks a lot! I’m trying to change my habits and consequently, my body! Great video ❤
Ladies! (and gents) Eat what you want, but listen to your body. Just eat as much that you could go for a jogging session. Drink water before every meal and eat it with total attention. On the other hand, just go for a walk for 20 minutes after your meal.
Edit: I spelled one word wrong...
These are some of the most practical and realistic tips! Without being too diet culture or drastic!
*Thank you for sharing your journey and empowering others to take control of their health!*
This is already resonating with me. I used to forget to eat when I was stressed/down. Now I’m an emotional eater. That is so real.
I am starting my weight lose journey after depression, losing 20 kilo's in 2 years is what i am going to achieve
"don't eat with distraction" me eating watching this video 😮
Congratulations! I know you worked hard and you look great!!
Very well-spoken and thoughtful tips!
Great job! And your hair looks amazing!
I have 50lbs to lose 😞 I got to a great start, and then I was in an accident this week and tore my ACL and meniscus. I’m so discouraged. I won’t give up. But the road seems so long now. I’m a mom to a baby and a 5 year old, so it’s hard to make this kind of commitment to myself. But I’m doing it. Pray for me!
Praying for you! How is your injury now? Hope you are doing better 🫶🏻
@@MarinaMSinger I’m doing great! I had surgery in September and I’m working really hard to recover. I’m losing a little bit of weight at a time but I’m stronger than ever and losing inches. Thank you for your prayers!
Really helpful thank you! Especially about not standing up and eating straight from the fridge - as soon as you said this I realised I do this so much. I'd eat loads fast and impulsively, then (knowing it didn't feel right somehow) decide I need to eat an actual meal.. But by the time I actually sat down with a plate I wasn't all that hungry, but then I'd still eat it anyway as now it was all there on a plate.. 🤦🏻♀️I was very impatient, probably because I was using that to avoid feelings or to procrastinate etc... It's so much better to wait a few minutes and then enjoy the food without distractions. And of course then come to realise what I was using food to avoid looking at in myself.
I appreciate your video. I am naturally very thin to the point of people constantly making rude comments on it almost on a daily basis, even as a child. Fast forward after 2 kids and in my 40s I still look atleast 3 months pregnant and have a pot belly with scrawny arms and legs. I can hide my belly with clothes, but my doctor too recommended I workout as my belly fat is behind the muscle and working out is the only way to drop it (a tummy tuck wouldn't even flatten it). This made me realize how most people are overweight but we don't realize it. To a stranger on the street I am "skinny" but i am clearly not my healthiest. Belly fat is quite dangerous, if it is visceral, it surrounds your organs. Odds are, we could all be a little healthier ❤❤
Loved this! Great motivation for this summer. I’d love to see all the other video ideas you said, and also what to do when your done with losing weight and maintaining. Found you on tiktok! Keep it up, you’re doing amazing🩵🩵🩵
This video was so helpful/motivational for my own journey, but I couldn't take my eyes off your hair the whole time - your hair looks amazing!! Can you share tips on how you did this style please?
I recently stopped being a emotional eater it’s crazy how much I over ate I can’t even eat nearly as much as a ate before I only eat a lil now and I get be full
Hi there! Love this video. Do you mind talking a little bit about how you have been able to maintain your results now that your cut is done? I think that’s the hardest part for me. Once I look the way I want to look, it’s easy to lose it. If you could talk about how you maintain the body you want, that would be great! Especially as you start to drink again and divulge in the food you’ve been restricting :)
Usually once you’re done losing the weight from a caloric deficit, you can maintain by eating at maintenance calories. You can’t just go off the rails and eat at surplus.
I’m so proud of u u did amazing it’s hard to have self discipline and u have done amazing ❤ I also would love a follow up video with a what I eat in a day❤
I’ve been overweight for years, and my doctor never picked up on it; I even mentioned my weight when a nurse weighed me, and she said I was “fine,” but I was about 15+ pounds heavier. I’m now 40 years old, 25 pounds overweight, and having to try losing weight at an age that is that bit harder. I wish my doctor had bothered to check on me (I also emotionally ate a lot).
So glad you've posted!!
I love how you speak about the subconscious 100% agree
This is great! Congratulations
ty! 🥰
@@KayleenBabel Ofc !! 🥰
Thank you for the book recc! Can you please make a video of what to do/eat once you’re out of the cut season?
Away to stop over eating is to drink lots of water and force urself to eat by 1 or 12
Great video, but your background music is soooo loud! Kept distracting me 😢, just reduce it a little 🥰
Good to be here ❤ I am taking notes. Thank you for sharing these amazing tips. Be blessed.
Great tips keep it up and thanks for sharing.
You reading this you need to stay consistent and discipline with good diet to achieve your body goal
Just subbed! ❤❤ love ur workouts! Please keep making them. ❤❤

Me when you said “no one’s going to say that outright” having weekly weigh-ins in front of the whole dance team in college. 😅😅😅
That was great. I’ve been struggling and I think this stuff will help. Thanks.
Wow super helpful- you are awesome!
Best video I’ve seen in a while
🥹🤍
#9 Was really helpful, thank you for sharing!♥
I realize this is off topic to the theme of your video here but could you create and post a tutorial on various stretches with a partner? I may have requested this a while back. Not sure. Thanks, Kayleen! Keep up the great work, girl!
I noticed! Thanks for sharing - I have a similar frame an level of activity!
I eat when I'm bored and lonely and when you live alone it's easy to do.
Excellent video! Great tips, beautifully presented (as usual) Thank you!
I loved your tips! Thank you for sharing
Great JOB, good for you❤
Love this video!
Get a dog just to help you exercise is the wrong reason to get a dog. Don’t do that!
It’s not that different than getting one for emotional support.
She didn’t get one for that reason, she literally says so… and then she goes on to say don’t get a dog for that reason.
I also don't feel like myself when I'm overweight.
Could you tell me the name of the app?
What a great video! Thank-you. 🌹Red
the story of my life
You look great congrats
Thank you!!!
Carbon is the best!
Well done on your weight loss.
I didn't like the swishing sound or the bell sound. It's probably just me but they don't have any. purpose and I only got a third of the way through.
That’s weird of you.
@@tammystiletto It's with headphones.
I found it quite painfully loud.
I don't weigh myself, but I messure
You look incredible!
How long did it take you to lose the weight?
5 months she said
@@okayray7855 thanks! That's realistic.
Very helpful video❤
Did you get selected for the NFL?
Nope :) video coming soon!

Great video, but your background music is soooo loud! Kept distracting me 😢, just reduce it a little 🥰
