I also wanted to say that it hit me hard when you said “you are not meant to fit into clothes, clothes are meant to fit you.” This is so true and I needed to hear it!

“We are not meant to fit into clothes, clothes are meant to fit us” WHEW GIRL, that is the statement of the year. Thank you for that revelation that I will repeat to myself from now on. I decided I too will be getting back to a better shape before the holidays to encourage living healthier. I hurt my back this year which was sort of a blessing bc it forced me to slow down and heal but Im heavier then I have ever been and I just want to be better.

You should do a video on the leggings that made it back on the shelf! They made the ultimate cut

I love coming back to watch this video because I feel that it really is honest and you say stuff that some of us have going through with our "body image". "Body neutrality" is a beautiful way to see ourselves in the mirror. Being in my late 30s, having a baby this late, I can say I'm finally there with "body neutrality", going through several types of eating disorders and just struggling with trying to who I am, as a whole being. Thank you Hope for being so honest and sharing your humanity!

I love that you don't demonize weight gain. Bodies change and it's ok! You're a beautiful person and you deserve to feel comfortable in your skin regardless of size. Definitely agree with getting rid of clothes that don't serve you anymore 💕

The positivity and maturity in this video. YOU are goals, hope.

Tossing those "probably never gonna fit again" clothes into the donation bin is so liberating. I've put on 12kg in 1 year (graduated to that M), and yep a lot of bags gone lol... Having someone going through something so relatable has really helped to feel okay. Keep being you Hope, that's what we're all here for! :)

You've had such a positive impact on so many people in regards to body neutrality, thank you for your honesty Hope!

Thank you for being so real with us, Hope. As a girl growing up in a society where they glorify small sizes and bodies took a toll on how I view myself and it lowered my self esteem. I had to fit this ONLY size I wanted but seeing you being confident about graduating to medium fills me with so much joy. I have learned to be confident with my body and size. It is NORMAL to gain weight and for my body to change shape. I love you so much Hope!!🤗 Cheers to Self positivity and body neutrality💖

That chat about letting go of clothes that do not fit, and do not make you feel good hit home for me. I needed to hear that, so thank you, Hope! I think it is time that I go through my clothes-- though I have done it several times recently to de-clutter-- again, and with more honesty. Plus, as a college student, I could use any extra cash I can get! Also, I think I'd like to join you in that goal you talked about achieving by the times the holidays roll around!

The feeling of looking in the mirror and thinking “I did that” is a great, my pant size has gone up but I feel so good about the progress I’m making with my body it helps me ignore the size!!

I love how you are honest with us, most influencers would make an excuse but your being honest. Love you Hope! 💕💕

I can’t even imagine the stress and let’s not forget emotions!! Honestly good for you! You’re still Queen of leggins!!!

6:43 I thought I was the only one this happens to! But wow! Brilliant solution to not only stuggling to get dressed for the day but easing the anxiety, stress and running late moments because of having to try on 20 things before something fits. Eliminating everything that doesn’t fit in my closet has been long over do and I keep telling myself I’m going to take the time and try on everything I own so I can get rid of what doesn’t, but that’s a task in itself right? Thank you for your genuine authenticity girl ❤

I appreciate the honesty and maturity it’s one of the many reasons so many of us love to watch your videos - it feels like I’m learning from and with you ❤️

People evolve and so do their ideas. Don't ever feel guilty about changing the way you see your dreams/content going! We'll still be here to watch!!!

I feel this so much. I wore leggings every day in college and none of them fit me anymore. I don’t wear them but I am struggling to get rid of them. I really need to face going through them like you did. Your positivity and openness are so refreshing! It’s giving me the motivation I need
abigailhenning
I have had SEVERAL bins of clothes that don't fit me anymore just sitting in a room taunting me for years. You have inspired me to get rid of them once and for all!! But also inspire me to want to get healthy and to try to love myself. You do so much more than you even know for so many women. I absolutely adore you!!
jessicajoubert
I've been feeling this body neutrality too as I've upgraded from smedium to actual medium. This video gave me the motivation to dig through my closet and take out what I'll likely never wear again. Thanks Hope ❤

I love how positive you make these videos. I'm really struggling with my autoimmune and it's attacking my muscle structures so videos talking about really good compressive leggings have been super helpful especially since I'm now a size M in everything (yes I needed to drop weight but this wasn't how I wanted to do it, by loosing all my muscle). Your humor and the spin you put on things has helped me to cheer up even on my worst days and reminded me to be kinder to myself
