As a guy I 100% agree. I gained weight in grad school and I was invisible in group settings. Other men mock you and women basically treat you as a non sexual being. I mentioned going on a date and one of the women in my friend group said "what is she doing going out with you?" talk about a knife through the heart. Crazy thing is she is not even conventionally attractive but has the most to say........

Have you ever broken your diet? Like cheatmeal once in a week or month?

Super video Leslie, it really resonated with me when you said, "Im whole all on my own". Its important that people do the hard work mentally to be their own best friend and be happy with their own company. ❤ Also, setting healthy boundaries is extremely important and this allows these people to make the choice to either respect thr boundaries or not. Then, if they do not respect the boundaries, they make it simple that they do not want to be apart of our lives. We are the gatekeepers of our lives and when we come to the realization of this, it is so freeing and superior. Strong people create their life, they do not allow life to control them ... End of story. ❤

Did or do you have a lot of loose skin? I have some 😢

Thank you its exactly what i needed especially the last point

I feel like i want a short video on my phone with you saying "Do you really wanna feel like that for the rest of your life" on my phone, to play it on repeat whenever i feel like losing hope. Thank you so beyond much for sharing this vulnerable and open video with the rest of us, because you have no idea how much i needed to hear this, much love and may you always keep shining and inspiring <3

I have watched so many weight loss videos and never ever seen someone like you. You mean it so much, you feel it so hard, and you care so deeply. I have never thought about comparing how I care for myself to how I would care for a child or a pet. I would NEVER let a child be thirsty or go without food, yet I neglect myself every day. Thank you.

I want to gain weight soo bad. I’m 1.61m and I weight 48kg , I feel soo insecure about my body , I hate it so much I want to gain weight I’m so tired of looking like a stick, do you have any advice?

Thanks you for your sincerity and strength. I also want to remark that you are GORGEOUS and can certainly be on a cover on any fashion magazine. At the risk of sounding politically incorrect and old-fashioned beyond redemption, I hope that you find a wonderful man who would love and appreciate your soul and beauty and will become your close friend, guardian and inspiration

Hi! I would like to know how much time did u take to lose weight

Don’t worry you will be fine ❤

2nd question :how do i love myself?

Ahhhhh I wish i can also leave the toxic environment I live in but it's basically impossible💔💔💔💔 do you think I can heal my trauma but still stay in the same situation?

Thank you for sharing your story. While I don’t have 50lbs to lose, people will say I’m fine at 140lbs 5’5” but they don’t understand that my cortisol belly and face are extremely uncomfortable. They’re physically signs of my stress and depression and only after some mental healing, setting boundaries with family and friends, & leaving a bad job, have I been able to slim down those areas. Good luck to you and everyone on their journey 🩵🩵🩵

Hello, I will try to express my mind clearly as I am not a native English speaker. I wanted to thank you very much as you're speaking about your mental health now and was when you were bigger ( as I am right now) and you're not promoting crazy things to achieve your/our goals. And I really like your disclaimer, about it working for you but each of us being different. The path to lose weight is long but your video give me hope about feeling better within myself mentally and in my body. thank you for sharing your experience. And you also give me motivation to go back to walk for feeling better.

How long did it take for you to lose 50kgs?.

I just need to loss 5 kilos😂 so hard

So glad I came across your channel - you’re so honest and raw and real about your journey and it’s so inspiring - heavy agree on how people treat you after you lose weight or undergo any physical transformation really - dressing better , looking “richer” and people are like WAY kinder

I agree there’s always psychological and mental reasons behind why someone gains that much weight - I NEVER judge people anymore after it happened TO ME - I realized after I got extremely stressed and depressed how I spiralled and just found comfort in food cause there was no other way I saw - good news is there’s always another way !❤ we can always help ourselves and choose to be better ! But I’ll never ever judge someone who’s overweight because there’s so many life factors that they can’t control that can trigger that chain

Your personality and aura is so calming and genuine! this is AMAZING the amount of discipline but the good habits pay off for your entire life! I’m also on my fitness journey ! I’ve lost 15 kilos !

Please continue to post! 🫶🏻 you are such an inspiration. I’m literally starting where you did- major weight gain due to PTSD/depression while dealing with some health issues.. in pain daily, joints ache and fatigue is horrible. You gave me the push to really give it a go ❤

Thank you for sharing ❤😊

Wow, congrats. How old are you? Just to compare what I can expect (loose skin etc.). Thanx.

I’m 5’5 and I’m 115kg it’s suffocating me my knees hurt my hips

Please check out Medical Medium books. So many people recover with his information. The first book that is Revised (a blue one) is the book to start with 🙃.

That’s amazing !!! I need to lose. 20kg can’t imagine 50kg. !! You are so strong!

I have also gone through major weight loss in my life (years ago) and I just want to let you know how seen you make me feel. I'm in a place now where I feel SUPER grateful to have had so much time in my life where I wasn't noticed /appreciated for my looks, because I think it's forced me to become a more "complete" and internally secure person. It's difficult to articulate, but I see other people in my life struggling because they've always been hot, and they literally have no idea how to build up their own idea of self worth because they are so used to other people/ external validation doing it for them.

Thank you for this. 🩷 Super important. You have come a long way & you are a really smart woman 💜🫂

I love your statement “take care of yourself like you would a child” I’m going to remind myself of this. I feel like i neglect myself as far as me being active. Environment plays a major role but since I’m in the environment I’m in i have to push myself and force myself to get things done.

Did you have loose skin too after losing the weight? :)

Thats insane

This was the best weight loss video I’ve watched. Thank you so much for it!!

I think this was the best weight loss video I’ve watched. Thank you 🙏🏿

Thank you so much for this video. I really nedd to hear all that you said.

Sometimes my cramps get so bad, I lay on the sofa thinking what I would do if I were a 1600s peasant girl with cramps working in the field without any ibuprofen and get super sad about 1600s peasant me...

Can you please share your Instagram? 💕

i love dogs and i really like your way of thinking. im form poland so i am also learning english from your videous. thank you. you are very clever person ❤

walking saved me too ☺

My dogs take me out for a walk every day.

0:27 that was the best incidental dog pooping coverup I've ever seen. Very smooth! It kind of surprised me how walking has helped... I'm used to running (from when I was younger) and I just sort of thought walking was... not good enough. But nope, any way to burn calories is burning calories! And it builds conditioning to make it so you can walk further the more you do it. Its a real win win! Right now sadly, we're surrounded by forest fire smoke where I live in Canada, so its a little hard to do (well hard on the lungs at least). Boy do I wish I had dogs though! Awesome video Leslie!

it takes so much courage, strength and willpower that most people aren't ready for, yes it takes the whole entire life out of you... and then reducing it to a few comments... those people are just not worth giving a fraction of energy... im also on a health journey... it takes the life out of me every single day... but here i am ... nobody knows what you go through , very rarely there will be support and it can really really hard... sending strength and good vibes to whoever needs it , thankyou for sharing ...

Thank you so much for this amazing video ❤ I'm a bit overweight and planning on losing 15 to 20 kg (depending on how i feel and how it goes and look) 😊 send me good vibes to succeed healthily 🎉

You look incredible

when toxic people leave, you lose the "dead weight". good for you!! thank you for being so transparent and honest about your story because the hardest part is realizing and identifying the trigger and it takes a lot to be accountable and put in the effort. <3

Thank you

"But there was always this hope that I had.... that this wasn't the end of my story"..... Girl, the way I started crying when you said that. 😭 I'm so proud of you. You're truly an inspiration. Plus your skin is perfection 🤌Please drop that skincare routine when you get the chance! lol

This is such a vulnerable and honest conversation. I love the treat yourself as you would a pet or a child point. Really reminds us that we are custodians of our bodies.. Well done 🎉

Thank you so much for sharing!! You are an inspiration

You're so strong, beautiful and intelligent! Thank you for sharing your message, it really gave me peace and direction 🌺
