I’m an emotional eater and this was very insightful and helpful.

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💫

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.

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!

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.

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!*

Congratulations! I know you worked hard and you look great!!

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 :>>>

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...

I am starting my weight lose journey after depression, losing 20 kilo's in 2 years is what i am going to achieve

[msliltrinity]

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.

[taniasuarezgomez]

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 ❤

[freenectarines]

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?
