Everyone on here that truly cares is not gonna judge or harbor resentment for the lack of openness when you needed privacy, we all love and support you immensely and I am glad that for you you’re mentally ready to discuss everything openly and honestly.

“Comparison is the thief of joy.” This really opened my eyes. Thank you for allowing us and bringing us into this space of self discovery and healing. It’s a journey that i’m also doing that will indeed have its ups and downs. I truly appreciate you and your energy these years I have subbed to you. And please don’t ever think you left us. To me, your energy was always there the time you were off cause that’s how beautiful it is. And I just wanted you healing, happy, and okay even if that meant stepping away from YouTube or any type of social media. You’re a light and a joy to see. I wish you so much love and thank you so much for this. 💕💕

I am bawling.
As I listen to your story, I hear my story. There are so many similarities in our health journey’s. Stephanie, you don’t owe a single soul anything. So, the fact that you chose to share your story and embrace vulnerability is so remarkable. Your beautiful spirit is greatly appreciated and so very deeply loved. May God continue to be your portion forever and may He continuously extend endless grace to you on your lifelong health journey.
Again, you are so deeply loved Stephanie! ❤️

After over a decade of eating disorders, I got vsg and relearned to feed myself. It was the best decision I ever made because I really needed to start from zero. My relationship with food still has it’s moments but I’ve never been better. So proud of you ❤.

I got the gastric sleeve when I was 17, and now that I'm almost 19 I've lost 140 pounds. best decision I've ever made <3

Thank you for opening up. I am watching you since over 3 years now and always wondered about your absence. But you never owed us anything - so thank you so much for the insight in your thoughts and feelings! I am 26 as well and parts of your story resonate so much with me. I wish you the best!

What a raw chapter of your journey to share with us 🤍 “comparison is a thief of joy” is a message I always need reminding of and it’s so true. If it’s something you’d enjoy doing, I know I would love a gym grwm and gym vlogs! Always down for a bible study or church grwm vid too 😍

Stephanie, I just want to say thank you so much for being vulnerable with us. You absolutely didn’t have to so I’m grateful for you sharing your truth. Thank you also for consistently creating such a safe place on the Internet. You have been my favorite YouTuber since I was in college and I’m happy that you’re back. ❤

Ugh thank you for sharing this 💖 I cried a little. The parts where you speak Spanish just make me feel so warm & at home, like I’m talking to a family member & also the fact that you bring God into the topic. 💖 ur so beautiful, inside & out ❤️

Hi!! I’ve been following you for a while & watching this vid, I relate with you whole heartedly. I wish EDs were talked about more in the more overweight community. I used to go through the exact same as you, but over the years I’ve learned to build a balance between food and exercise. I also love how you mentioned God and how we’re disrespecting the body God gave to us, definitely opened my mind about things! Thank you for being so vulnerable, I know that was hard! It made me feel less alone ❤

Sweet Stephanie 🥹💗 you made me teared up when you started talking about God and how He will never leave your side because that is true. He will never ever leave you, He will always be there for you. I’ve been watching your videos for 3 years now & I’m 27 so you are definitely an inspiration to me and to all us. Be your own kind of beautiful and remember to always spread peace, love and positivity 💗
