How I got fat? Why I'm morbidly obese? | Losing 200 lbs | Weight Loss Journey | Workout with me

In "How I got fat? Why I'm morbidly obese? | Losing 200 lbs | Weight Loss Journey | Workout with me" I had to face some hard truths. Recently a few people have asked in the comments how I got to be the size I am. At points of my life I have struggled with depression and I am a high anxiety person. It was a struggle to share my journey to my highest weight, I take great comforting in the confidence I have knowing this is my final decent. I will never be this large again. I am doing everything the right way.I wanted to approach this topic that hurts and is depressing in the most positive way possible... so why not with a workout!

You’re maybe the first person I’ve seen starting a journey like this who I fully believe and expect to reach your goals. You’re doing all the right things and have the right mindset. I’m cheering for you!

[lauramorgan]

Any person trying to improve their health and get fit should be praised and encouraged.

[nattcattt]

Her stopping in the middle of her story to say "Let me do my set" was honestly so badass.

[dakishimete-_-]

OK but why are you one of the most adorable heartwarming people I’ve ever watched? 🥺

[ameliatorres]

My girl! Don’t jump rope just yet. It can be dangerous to jump rope because of the stress placed on the knees and ankles. I’ve injured myself a couple of times from jumping the wrong way throughout my dancing career. Those injuries do take you out of exercising for a while since recovery can take a while. There are other exercises that can raise your heartbeat and keep you active without the stress that jumping brings. It’s really important to not only know when to jump but also how to properly jump in order to reduce any injury risks and for being able to stay active 24/7.

"When you don't love yourself, you're not very lovable."

That hit home. I feel that.

[brttbritt]

To be honest, I clicked on this video expecting a dramatic sob story, but was immediately surprised and touched by how positive and genuine you seem, even while explaining your struggles. You truly seem like such a sweet person and I wish you the best!

[highlyopinionated]

This is probably one of the most responsible videos I have seen in such a long time. This is what body positivity should be about, you are looking into the why's and figuring out how to change your actions to get to where you need to be. You seem like such a kind and sweet woman and I wish you the best! Get the mind right and the rest will follow. I would strongly suggest seeing a councilor to deal with your negative thoughts about yourself, show yourself some more compassion girl! Wishing you all the best on your journey xx

I lost 90 lbs and gained all of it back after a big and unsuccessful move and serious depression. Once we moved back, I felt motivated after a change of work and a visit to my doctor moved me to re-start the journey. Quarantine has been a really big set back, and gained back 20 of the 40 lbs I managed to lose being sad, scared, and sedentary. Your honesty is so motivating to me. Thank you so much for sharing this. It puts my own weight journey into perspective. You're so positive. Again, thank you for sharing this is stuff. It's humbling and vulnerable and beautiful.

[alexuspeavy]

Gaining after you’ve lost a significant amount of weight is so. hard. It’s like your mind is constantly comparing your “now” self to your “old” self and it’s incredibly discouraging. I lost 60 pounds last year, but after a traumatic experience & struggling with PTSD, I gained it all back. It’s the worst because I know I can do it because I did it before, but now my mindset is totally different.
I’m praying for you, intentionally & sincerely! ❤️

[SaeraPhina]

This is proof of the harm that a catcall can do to a woman's mental health and body image. Guys think that women are supposed to feel grateful when they do this, but don't realize that the unwarranted sexualization of your body by a stranger is hardly ever a good feeling.

[CobaltDragonfly]

I started off with a similar goal - over 200 lbs. Now down 115, and still going. Your approach is commendable and I wish you the very best. <3

[princesspeach]

Before people criticise others’ bodies, they need to stop and think about the factors that play into being over weight. The reality is, no one wakes up and wishes to be overweight, but mental health plays a huge part in weight gain. I myself suffer with binge eating disorder. And it’s not as easy as just “stop eating and exercise”. I wish people understood. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️

[JulieHiltbrunner]

Why do we call it “weight loss” instead of “healthy gain” maybe there’s a psychological boost to gaining something good instead of losing something.

[tinycrimester]

As someone who's been depressed, taking care of the basics like sleep, food, social life, is super important and counts for a lot, but also when you're actually depressed, you don't care enough to make the effort. I'm glad to hear you've identified these things in your life and hopefully if you ever fall into that pit again your husband or someone else you trust can tell you what's going on if you don't see it.

[kyleeverhoff]

YOU MADE A CHART AND WROTE OUT THE ACCOUNTABILITY STEPS YOU NEED TO TAKE. I’m so obsessed with this. This is incredible. This alone shows me you’re going to find success, whatever that looks like for you. Rooting for you. ♥️

[olivia]

She's one of the cutest looking people I've ever seen I'm not gonna lie, her eyes just look so happy and genuine 💖

[baroozles]

Thank you for this. I’m 5’5- After getting sober I went from 100 pounds to almost 160. I’m down to 150 but I still don’t recognize myself. The intense self hatred is debilitating. Thank you for reminding me that making healthy changes can be fun, positive and a happy experience. You’re doing great!

[Mommy_Irene]

I lost 80 pounds then I got pregnant and now that my son is 19 months I’ve gained 120 pounds it’s been a roller coaster. I’ve been diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder (schizophrenia and major depression) I’m on a journey to lose the 120 pounds I’ve gained and you are inspiring to me.

[Sophie]

You’re so self aware, you’re taking responsibility, and taking a holistic approach, you deserve all the success in the world. Remember to be kind to yourself as well ❤️
