You are the most genuine person on the internet. It's so true that how you present yourself & how you view yourself can completely change the way you look
Your beautiful and you have to know it. There is always going to be someone prettier, uglier, skinnier, larger and that goes for everyone. People who are rude to others have big insecurities themselves. ily stay positive xx
By helping yourself and looking after yourself, helps me and i’m SURE lots of other people. Some realisations you had really broke down some barriers for me!
I need this today. Last I went out with friends in a dress that did not fit in certain areas and I spent the night cover that area with my purse or my hands or anything. I’ve been going through a break up and have gained weight and I needed this so much. Thank you for talking about this. I love you so much and thank you again Taryne ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Taryne I resonate with you so much!! What you are doing requires so much of courage and such a big heart to open up to people!! Im so grateful for you. You make me feel so happy and seen. I love you beyond words queen always here for you and your beautiful soul that shines through. Ugh thank you soo much for thiss. You are perfect my love
Loove your videos...GENUINELY... You're one of the most relatable real people on here and I LOVE what you share in your channel... Everyone is human and everyone goes through their own struggles... And those struggles are not always shared online... So sometimes if people go through things... They feel weak or weird... Because it's not shared often enough... Keep doing what you're doing... I love your content you seem like a really special soul... Xoxo🤎
Taryne, I just love your soul! It shines through to your beautiful body! I’ve had these same inner battles most of my life and I understand getting complimented only when I’ve lost weight (even when it wasn’t healthy or sustainable). I hope this can be steps to a sustainable, joyful life of loving your whole self because your body is good, your soul is good, you are good!
Thank you for been so open and honest about your journey. I needed this this week more than you can imagine. The battle of mental health and weight is not easy and having a positive support system is important. Again thank you☺️
I am so proud of you for being vulnerable and I admire your strength for being honest. I wish you the happiness you truly deserve and hope you can someday have these feelings being part of the past. Two good reads I can really recommend are : beauty sick and the fuck it diet
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT. When I tell you I felt like I was staring into a mirror. This is the EXACT conversation I had with my therapist this past Friday. Like the exact conversation. I struggle with all the things you touched on in this video and I want you to know that you are seen and you are heard. You are not alone! I have struggled with my body image for as long as I can remember. Right before my therapist appointment on Friday I was scrolling through IG and your pic came up and you captioned it “I stared at this pic longer than I’d like to admit before deciding to post it”. I spoke about how your post was something I needed to see and read before that appointment. YOU inspired me and the conversation I had at that appointment. To be open and honest about my feelings and to work through them. We are all a work in progress and your videos have helped me so much, I can’t even put it into words. I am 33 years old and have struggled since I was about 10years old. I see you and hear you. You’re doing amazing. ❤️❤️❤️
Taryne, you are definitely not alone in your struggles. I know so many women going through this, myself included. Sending you lots of love. You are smart, well spoken, cute and a wonderful person. You've got this!
I’m so grateful for you sharing this. I feel this every day - I feel like this body isn’t me… I feel so out of place and am constantly trying to hide myself. 💜
Oh. My. God. I watch so so much UA-cam every week and this is one of the most relatable videos I have ever ever EVER seen. Wow. Taryne you are amazing and beautiful and inspiring and your honesty brought so much relief to me in the moment that you are so honest and that is beautiful
Girl, I feel this! So. Much. I have done the cycles. I've looked back at photos that I use to hate and would kill to be that size again. The past couple months I've gained probably the most weight. I'm so embarrassed that I don't want to go see my family. The other day my husband asked if I wanted to go on a vacation to AZ and I didn't want to because I was rushed with emotions of not comfortably sitting on the plane and not having shorts that fit me. I'm tired of watching my life move on without me because I'm so ashamed of my body. It is so hard when the last time I saw some people they were giving me compliments on my weight loss and how good I looked and in the end that has made this weight gain sooo much harder. I loved this video, so thank you.
Just sent this video to my boyfriend. We've been together for 7 years and he has seen me at my best and at my worst, through the diet and exercise obsession cycles, the binging and purging cycles...everything, and has allways been there for me no matter what. I know sometimes it's hard for him to understand because he has never felt the same so thought I would send him your video, because I could hear my self in every word you said. I'm still not at the place where I can go out in public without covering my self up, no matter how hot and unconfortable I am. But someday I will, and listening and watching your journey is giving me hope that I can do it to. Thank you so much for doing this!!
Thank you for talking about this. You are not alone, so SO many of us feel the same way. I heard you talk about the friend of yours who said, "we are conceited like that" when you were talking about feeling like everyone was judging you and your body on unsolicited advice...and that resonated with me more than I can describe. I really appreciate you being open with us about the ups and downs of this journey. I KNOW you must be worried about the haters, but you are a 💯 right, if they hate, they have their OWN problems to go through. You are drop dead gorgeous inside & out, and I really enjoy your content. Thank you for being you and sharing that with us💛 You truly are inspiring.
I would suggest Christy Harrison’s podcast. It has helped me immensely with body image, etc. I can totally relate to you re: body dysmorphia. You can do this!
You are one of the bravest people I have ever seen on this platform. I am currently working a nightmare job while trying to get my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and your video uploads give me so much strength to keep putting one foot in front of the other while I navigate life. Thank you for your honesty. P.S. I love love love Unsolicited Advice! :-)
Taryne, watching your videos about body image and your own personal journey has TRULY changed my mindset about what I see in the mirror. I hear a lot of my own thoughts in your videos, and I just want to say thank you for being confident enough and having the courage to speak so openly! I don't know if you'll see this comment or not, but I just want to tell you that you are so beautiful, inside and out, and that I genuinely look up to you. thank you for sharing your story ❤️
Amazing video. I needed to see this. 33 y/o with recent (over the last year) weight gain of 20 lbs. This was after a break up… 3 months later beginning of the best relationship I’ve ever been in. Met my person. I am the happiest I’ve been in so long. And, the weight gain gets to me. I am going on a family vacation to Arizona tomorrow and am dreading packing the cooler clothing, and obviously swimming. I will watch this video again, I want more of what you said to sink in. Thank you for being relatable and vulnerable. Thank you for being a mirror. ❤️
ugh taryne! I caught myself snapping in agreeance to so much of what you've preached! thank you for sharing your heart and vulnerability. if I ever see you on these streets, I will give you the biggest hug and remind you how beautiful you are inside AND out! always in your corner and rooting for you! ❣️
Taryne, you are such a beautiful person inside and out, and truly such an inspiration. I have struggled with body dysmorphia essentially my whole life as well, so when am tell you I feel your pain to the core. Your words resonate with me so much, you saying you couldn’t go to the pool, you’re helping ME realize my struggles as well, and that we CAN DO THIS!! we are in this together and this will get better. We are all here for you and for each other, and I couldn’t be prouder of you. I understand you and know what you are going through, so just know you are not alone and never will be. Love you Taryne ❤️❤️❤️
hey Taryne, my sister showed me your videos because I have been having a hard time. Watching your videos has helped me a lot ❤️ When I’m down I watch your self care videos, even when I’m happy I come to your channel! 💕❤️
You are so beautiful- mind, body and soul. You are so brave for sharing this journey with us and I know you have the mental strength to navigate these thoughts and feelings.
I watched this video when you posted it but I still come back to it whenever I’m having a really hard time with my body.. It’s so nice to hear someone that feels the exact same way as I have my whole life. I can’t talk to the people around me because they always result back to the generic responses and I cannot hear it anymore. Anyways, thank you for being so open about everything. It makes me feel not so alone. I love you so much and I pray that we can both fully heal from this.
You are so beautiful inside and out, I am so glad I found you through Unsolicited Advice and I have absolutely loved watching your series and going through this journey with you! You are such an inspiration. Love you so much! 💛
I love you and your videos so much! You are helping me with every post, your story helps me because I go through similar cycle, mindset, and lifestyle and have been since childhood, so to have you here on this platform, doing this, is helping not only me but I know so many more! Thank you!🧡🧡🧡
its ok to be emotional. you are human queen. this topic is not easy to go through. I relate to this topic. I feel you, I see you. you are not alone. I appreciate you sharing this topic. I struggle with body dysmorphia. Taryne you said most of what I went through mentally and emotionally. I would restrict food because I was scared I looked fat and had to look a certain way. I was physically about to be physically sick and I looked depressed during my sick body. To a point I knew I was stuck and I couldn't get out myself, I got help. I am doing slightly better now then I did before. I still struggle self loving myself. I am still recovering with my eating disorder. I will add that I did feel alone at first before I got help, I didn't think anyone I knew understood what I was going through at the time. Anyone relating to eating disorder, you will get through it with time. YOU MATTER ladies and gentlemen.
Oh... My... Gooooooooood...when you talk about how you suck your stomach in constantly and always thinking about what people are seeing of you... Girrrrrrl... I feel you!!!!!!
Praying for you and your journey to be healthier 🙏🏻 You are a BEAUTIFUL woman and I hope you someday see that. You seem like an awesome sister, daughter, and friend. I am sure this is such a vulnerable moment for you. Bless you for sharing. I am ALOT older than you and have been a size 14 most my adult life. I Have felt the same way you feel now. And I want to tell you. It gets better. I definitely have my days. But you have to believe everybody when they say how great you are. Because if they didn’t care and they didn’t think that they wouldn’t tell you. And once you can except that the days get easier. I wish I could give you a big hug and wipe your tears 🥺 🤗
Taryne you are so incredible! I cannot thank you more for being so honest and genuine with your viewers. I don't think you even realise how much you are positively affecting those around you. I could not agree more with the fact that your mindset can completely change the way in which you view yourself and your life. You are so amazing and I seriously look up to you so much! I couldn't be more proud of how far you have come and to share this vulnerable part of yourself out on the internet is so brave! You should be very proud, keep loving yourself and stay strong, you are the best!! Also I just wanted to say the I am a serious UA fan and have been listening from day one! Also, I absolutely loved the enneagram episodes so much! It truely helped me discover and understand more about myself and those around me, so thank you! (I am an enneagram one by the way ❤️☺️). - Lots of love Ella.
Thank you for sharing your story. You are so inspiring! So many people have had similar experiences (including me) and watching your videos always bring me so much comfort and inspiration
I really love your realnes , even though I’m naturally on the slimmer side I know how it feels not being confident no matter what to, having this body dysmorphia and self hatred for nothing really, but these videos that you make are truly amazing and I’m here to support you always❤️
Taryne, I can’t tell you how perfect the timing of this video was for me. I am nailing this in therapy right now. I did the same things with old photos. I remember, the smallest I had ever been, and eating half a banana for breakfast that morning cause I wanted to look smaller. I am so proud of the strides you’re making and it’s super inspirational how hopeful you have remained, cause that’s the part I am struggling with now, not feeling defeated. Thank you for sharing this, you are beautiful, wonderful, and SEXY.
Goodness this resonates with me like crazy. I feel everything you say so deeply, as I have struggled in similar ways. I really have not made any mindset changes, but hearing from you that I can walk in a store and flaunt my body and stand up straight makes me so hopeful too. I’m so grateful that you posted this 🫶🏼
taryne, i hope you know just how much and how many people you're helping. the cycles thing is so true, and everything you said about body dysmorphia made me feel less alone. because of your openness, i have my first therapy consultation booked tomorrow despite having a bad experience with it in the past - i'm determined to start looking after and love myself. thank you and take care!!! remember you are loved.
I felt it so hard when you talked about like sitting there and adjusting yourself the entire time and wondering what the people around you are seeing and thinking about you. I needed this video, much like the rest of your videos. You always just hit exactly what I need to hear and what I can relate to. Thank you so much for everything Taryne, you really are an angel. If you wouldn’t mind, I dmd you on Instagram with a more personal message about your videos and my confidence and stuff, I’d really like to hear your input and get your advice. Thank you for saving my life, much love!
Wow, thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Taryne, your words are so helpful. This is exactly where I’m at right now. I have done the similar patterns as well in the past. We got this!
Hi Taryne, I love that you are talking about it and feeling like yourself again! You are beautiful in whatever size you are. That number is just a number, it’s a spectrum that should not affect how we feel. I feel the same way, growing up I have always been the bigger girl in class and boys don’t always notice me but it doesn’t matter. Look at what you have accomplished, your career, what you do have an impact on so many people. I love listening to unsolicited advice because you and Ashley made me feel like i am among friends who hype me up and can relate to a lot of things. Be you and take care of yourself and that’s all that matters. Size doesn’t matter, like you said in the video, your mind is so powerful, you walking in and feeling confident is so sexy and it doesn’t matter what you are wearing and what size you are! Love you! Keep being you! The beautiful you!
I have also always been on the heavier side. I just got out of a pretty bad marriage and I am discovering myself. I have gotten so much joy and thrill out of wearing things I would have never worn while married because of fear of judgment or reprimand from him. I totally empathize with how you felt at the post office. It is liberating when we let ourselves go. Let’s keep it up.
thank you so much for the „friendly reminder“ that all body’s are perfect! I know exactly what you mean! when I was at my skinniest, I still didn’t feel like I was perfect or enough! and I am still struggling, so that’s why I try to turn my life around! I admire your kind words sooo much! that’s exactly what I needed today!!!
it’s crazy how much a can resonate with what you are saying. i have the same thoughts about my body everyday and honestly i’ve never been happy with how my body looks even when i was my “skinniest” it’s really sad how our minds control us. im really looking forward to see how you deal with it because i will be trying to as well!
I’m almost nine months pregnant. Before pregnancy I was 115. I hated my body. Before that I was barely 100 lbs. And I thought I was way too skinny and needed more body fat. Once I got to 115 I realized I still hated how I looked. Now, after gaining almost 40 lbs I feel like I don’t know this body. I understand I’m growing a human and this isn’t fat or weight gain. But what we do to ourself when we look in The mirror is insane. I’m sure I’ll get hate or people will roll their eyes when they read this but body image issues comes in all shapes and sizes. You are such an amazing person for doing what you do.
This is so shocking to me to hear your story.. I’ve always been on the thicker side since high school and seeing you in Alisha’s videos, I always thought you looked so happy and so confident + you having a body I could relate too always gave me the best confidence boost. It truly shows that you never know what is going on in someone else’s life. I hope making those videos really help you talk it out and have a positive impact on your life and see the positive image you gave me for all those years!
You are seriously so inspiring. The fact you put this out for everyone to see 😭 you are so genuine and encouraging. I relate to this TO A TEEE this is literally my life this was my life. Thank you so much for sharing what you went through what you are going through your whole journey makes me emo because I have lived like this for so long it wasn’t until last year that I starting changing . 💕💕💕 I’ve watched your vids for forever you Alisha and Ashley and I love every time I see you in their vids because your AND your personality is so BEAUTIFUL🥰🥰
I’m so beyond grateful that you decided to speak out about your personal struggles. This brought me in tears. I use to cancel dates as soon as they’d mention it was involving a bathing suit. Missing out on so many opportunities in life because of internal struggles. I’m still going through my journey of self love and I can’t wait to follow yours 💕
We have a very similar situation. I was i to a relationship from age 18 to 33 & not its over and idk who i am any more. My weight has ballooned & and I i hate it & i don't know how to stop binging. I relate & I'm so glad you are here. Feels like I'm not alone. Sending you love & light Taryn.
I love these videos Taryne! You are so beautiful just the way you are and you talking about this helps so many of us! ❤️ Ps you seem so happy and encouraging i love it
You're beautiful Taryne! This resonated with me as I'm currently in my biggest body I've been in my whole life. When you showed those pictures of you I had that same experience where I saw myself when I had lost 65lbs and I was still unhappy. I wished I was her again! I was like ha! I thought I was fat then, what the heck was I thinking!? So that moment I totally understood. It's a real mental mind F! I don't get on the scale or I become obsessive so it's all about how i feel in my clothes and how my mind feels. ❤
Dearest Taryne, Where do I begin? You are a very beautiful soul inside and out. You are so tender-hearted and kind-spirited. You shine the most breathtaking light in this world. You are threaded with an insane amount of bravery and courage. I am so very proud of you for being so strong and being vulnerable. I wish I could jump through the screen and give you a big hug. You are doing a fantastic job. I hope you are feeling so proud of yourself. I have been watching you for many years through Alisha and Ashley's vlogs. I honestly feel like I have grown up with you. It is so obvious that God has such a purpose for your story. I adore you so much. You are an Earth Angel. Keep staying strong, fighting and being so brave. Endless love to you, Taryne. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Story of my life. I actually got sleeve stomach surgery in mexico in 2010 because of my eating disorder.....really wish i hadn't. Ive lost and gained over 100 lbs multiple times. Im 36 now and have finally 🙌 realized that it is literally all a head thing and has very little to do with my physical body. I was the most insecure and depressed at my smallest size. I totally agree with u, i have lost so so many memories and opportunities because of my preoccupation with my body and food. 🥰💗 love u girl. Keep up the fight to live your life in a state of peace, presence and confidence. Let your light shine.
This video HIT me. I’ve been struggling with body image for as long as I can remember, and I do have good days, but it’s a process. You got this 💕 We all got this 💕
Love you Taryne and this whole series!! Watching your videos, I have really tried to be intentional on how I talk to people. Complimenting people on how happy they look is so much kinder than complimenting them on their body and I credit you to teaching me that💙☺️
I can see myself in what you're describing, our minds are our worst enemy. We have to remind ourselves that IN FACT we are hot, beautiful as we are and we can thrive no matter what. We love you, girl. You got a support team right here 💜
taryen i want to thank you for being the reason today i am trying to also be confident in myself. i’m in highschool right now. i’m so different from everyone else. no boys are interested in me. i’m so glad to say that you are my role model and someone to look up to. it’s a journey i’m also going on. trying to love who you are is a hard thing to do. i’m so happy to be on the same journey as you. i love you so much and thank you again for being there for people and sharing your story. i wish you the best of luck and i want you to know everyone thinks you are beautiful.
Taryne, I needed this video, and ive been struggling with the same things you have, its crazy that I can feel so isolated with myself, and then watch a video and feel like i'm seen and that someone relates and is working through this journey too. Thank you for being so genuine and relatable, and I love you!!!!
I don’t know the girl in the photos you showed but I have seen the woman you are now. The girl you were then would be so incredibly proud of the person you have become and the lessons you’ve learned. Don’t forget that. Thank you for sharing your truth always. I feel very seen and I’m thankful to have watched this. You’re right, sometimes you really have to talk yourself out of what your anxious brain is telling you.
I don't know why your videos help me so much. I think it's the genuineness of what you're saying. I haven't been feeling myself much and haven't picked up the camera to film in months. I appreciate your vulnerability because the internet can be so mean. But listening to your videos made me start the process of going back to therapy after over 5 years out of it and struggling! Going to take a bit because the waiting list is long but I am at least on it now.
You are the most genuine person on the internet. It's so true that how you present yourself & how you view yourself can completely change the way you look

@@tarynerenee "Hey Siri, play Beautiful Soul by Jessie McCartney"
Be kind to yourself and your body and let's all strut into today!!! You are beautiful and perfect JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!
Your beautiful and you have to know it. There is always going to be someone prettier, uglier, skinnier, larger and that goes for everyone. People who are rude to others have big insecurities themselves. ily stay positive xx

This hits home
This is exactly what is happening to me and I’m here crying with you!
It’s healing hearing other women sharing about their body image journey
Such a much needed video! Taryne, you are speaking for probably 90% of the women out there! Love you!! ♥️
I’m going through a drastic weight gain and not loving my body. Sending lots of love to you!! You’re not alone 💕
Taryne! Coming from someone who has struggled with their relationship with food, it does get better
Taryne, I just love your soul! It shines through to your beautiful body!

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT.
When I tell you I felt like I was staring into a mirror. This is the EXACT conversation I had with my therapist this past Friday. Like the exact conversation. I struggle with all the things you touched on in this video and I want you to know that you are seen and you are heard. You are not alone! I have struggled with my body image for as long as I can remember.
Right before my therapist appointment on Friday I was scrolling through IG and your pic came up and you captioned it “I stared at this pic longer than I’d like to admit before deciding to post it”. I spoke about how your post was something I needed to see and read before that appointment. YOU inspired me and the conversation I had at that appointment. To be open and honest about my feelings and to work through them.
We are all a work in progress and your videos have helped me so much, I can’t even put it into words. I am 33 years old and have struggled since I was about 10years old. I see you and hear you.
You’re doing amazing. ❤️❤️❤️
THIS. IS. PERFECT.
Thank you for your vulnerability.
Thank you for being transparent.
💞
LOVE your soul. Let it shine, girl!
Many young girls need to hear this. Everyone needs to hear this. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. I needed to hear this.
You are voicing my exact feelings and thoughts. I legit cannot go to the pool with my own family without feeling sooo awkward and self conscious.
Taryne, you are definitely not alone in your struggles. I know so many women going through this, myself included. Sending you lots of love. You are smart, well spoken, cute and a wonderful person. You've got this!
I’m so grateful for you sharing this. I feel this every day - I feel like this body isn’t me… I feel so out of place and am constantly trying to hide myself. 💜

I feel you so much girl! I am going through the same journey... You are not alone. Love from Greece!

Amazing video. I needed to see this. 33 y/o with recent (over the last year) weight gain of 20 lbs. This was after a break up… 3 months later beginning of the best relationship I’ve ever been in. Met my person. I am the happiest I’ve been in so long. And, the weight gain gets to me. I am going on a family vacation to Arizona tomorrow and am dreading packing the cooler clothing, and obviously swimming. I will watch this video again, I want more of what you said to sink in. Thank you for being relatable and vulnerable. Thank you for being a mirror. ❤️
ugh taryne! I caught myself snapping in agreeance to so much of what you've preached! thank you for sharing your heart and vulnerability. if I ever see you on these streets, I will give you the biggest hug and remind you how beautiful you are inside AND out! always in your corner and rooting for you! ❣️
I wish you could see yourself through our eyes, YOU ARE STUNING Taryne!!!❤️❤️❤️
you are so beautiful inside and out ❤️❤️
wow this was so powerful. will definitely come back to this
You are such a ray of hope and love! You're the best Taryne!!! 💕
Taryne, you are such a beautiful person inside and out, and truly such an inspiration. I have struggled with body dysmorphia essentially my whole life as well, so when am tell you I feel your pain to the core. Your words resonate with me so much, you saying you couldn’t go to the pool, you’re helping ME realize my struggles as well, and that we CAN DO THIS!! we are in this together and this will get better. We are all here for you and for each other, and I couldn’t be prouder of you. I understand you and know what you are going through, so just know you are not alone and never will be. Love you Taryne ❤️❤️❤️
hey Taryne, my sister showed me your videos because I have been having a hard time. Watching your videos has helped me a lot ❤️ When I’m down I watch your self care videos, even when I’m happy I come to your channel! 💕❤️
Never have I ever related to someone more, thank you for making these videos, you’re changing lives ❤️
You are so beautiful- mind, body and soul. You are so brave for sharing this journey with us and I know you have the mental strength to navigate these thoughts and feelings.
I watched this video when you posted it but I still come back to it whenever I’m having a really hard time with my body.. It’s so nice to hear someone that feels the exact same way as I have my whole life. I can’t talk to the people around me because they always result back to the generic responses and I cannot hear it anymore. Anyways, thank you for being so open about everything. It makes me feel not so alone. I love you so much and I pray that we can both fully heal from this.
You are so beautiful inside and out, I am so glad I found you through Unsolicited Advice and I have absolutely loved watching your series and going through this journey with you! You are such an inspiration. Love you so much! 💛
I love you and your videos so much! You are helping me with every post, your story helps me because I go through similar cycle, mindset, and lifestyle and have been since childhood, so to have you here on this platform, doing this, is helping not only me but I know so many more! Thank you!🧡🧡🧡
its ok to be emotional. you are human queen. this topic is not easy to go through. I relate to this topic. I feel you, I see you. you are not alone. I appreciate you sharing this topic. I struggle with body dysmorphia. Taryne you said most of what I went through mentally and emotionally. I would restrict food because I was scared I looked fat and had to look a certain way. I was physically about to be physically sick and I looked depressed during my sick body. To a point I knew I was stuck and I couldn't get out myself, I got help. I am doing slightly better now then I did before. I still struggle self loving myself. I am still recovering with my eating disorder. I will add that I did feel alone at first before I got help, I didn't think anyone I knew understood what I was going through at the time. Anyone relating to eating disorder, you will get through it with time. YOU MATTER ladies and gentlemen.
Oh... My... Gooooooooood...when you talk about how you suck your stomach in constantly and always thinking about what people are seeing of you... Girrrrrrl... I feel you!!!!!!
ugh the worst right??
Praying for you and your journey to be healthier 🙏🏻 You are a BEAUTIFUL woman and I hope you someday see that. You seem like an awesome sister, daughter, and friend. I am sure this is such a vulnerable moment for you. Bless you for sharing. I am ALOT older than you and have been a size 14 most my adult life. I Have felt the same way you feel now. And I want to tell you. It gets better. I definitely have my days. But you have to believe everybody when they say how great you are. Because if they didn’t care and they didn’t think that they wouldn’t tell you. And once you can except that the days get easier. I wish I could give you a big hug and wipe your tears 🥺 🤗
Thank you so much! You are so strong, wish you all best, I feel every word you Are saying! You Are helping a lot of people here!
Love you! Love your message!! You’ve got this!! We got you!
Taryne you are so incredible! I cannot thank you more for being so honest and genuine with your viewers. I don't think you even realise how much you are positively affecting those around you. I could not agree more with the fact that your mindset can completely change the way in which you view yourself and your life. You are so amazing and I seriously look up to you so much! I couldn't be more proud of how far you have come and to share this vulnerable part of yourself out on the internet is so brave! You should be very proud, keep loving yourself and stay strong, you are the best!! Also I just wanted to say the I am a serious UA fan and have been listening from day one! Also, I absolutely loved the enneagram episodes so much! It truely helped me discover and understand more about myself and those around me, so thank you! (I am an enneagram one by the way ❤️☺️). - Lots of love Ella.
Thank you for sharing your story. You are so inspiring! So many people have had similar experiences (including me) and watching your videos always bring me so much comfort and inspiration
I love you and I love these videos! You don't understand how much of an impact you are making!
SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU. YOU GO GIRL! WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU AND YOU ARE SO LOVED.
This resonated with me. I've been going through the same thing and I know how tough it is. Sending you love!
Well damn lady. This was powerful. All bodies are beautiful they give us an opportunity to live this life. And there should be no shaming
I really love your realnes , even though I’m naturally on the slimmer side I know how it feels not being confident no matter what to, having this body dysmorphia and self hatred for nothing really, but these videos that you make are truly amazing and I’m here to support you always❤️
Taryne,
I can’t tell you how perfect the timing of this video was for me. I am nailing this in therapy right now. I did the same things with old photos. I remember, the smallest I had ever been, and eating half a banana for breakfast that morning cause I wanted to look smaller. I am so proud of the strides you’re making and it’s super inspirational how hopeful you have remained, cause that’s the part I am struggling with now, not feeling defeated. Thank you for sharing this, you are beautiful, wonderful, and SEXY.
“My body feels foreign to me” 💔 I felt this.
this feels like a safe space for me. I love this so much. Thank you for sharing.
I NEEDED this, thank you so much for your honesty & vulnerability. Best of luck to you on this journey, we’re all cheering you on 💕👏🏾
Goodness this resonates with me like crazy. I feel everything you say so deeply, as I have struggled in similar ways. I really have not made any mindset changes, but hearing from you that I can walk in a store and flaunt my body and stand up straight makes me so hopeful too. I’m so grateful that you posted this 🫶🏼
taryne, i hope you know just how much and how many people you're helping. the cycles thing is so true, and everything you said about body dysmorphia made me feel less alone. because of your openness, i have my first therapy consultation booked tomorrow despite having a bad experience with it in the past - i'm determined to start looking after and love myself. thank you and take care!!! remember you are loved.
I felt it so hard when you talked about like sitting there and adjusting yourself the entire time and wondering what the people around you are seeing and thinking about you. I needed this video, much like the rest of your videos. You always just hit exactly what I need to hear and what I can relate to. Thank you so much for everything Taryne, you really are an angel. If you wouldn’t mind, I dmd you on Instagram with a more personal message about your videos and my confidence and stuff, I’d really like to hear your input and get your advice. Thank you for saving my life, much love!
Wow, thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Taryne, your words are so helpful. This is exactly where I’m at right now. I have done the similar patterns as well in the past. We got this!
Thank you. This hit me. Supporting you and praying for you on your journey!
Hi Taryne, I love that you are talking about it and feeling like yourself again! You are beautiful in whatever size you are. That number is just a number, it’s a spectrum that should not affect how we feel. I feel the same way, growing up I have always been the bigger girl in class and boys don’t always notice me but it doesn’t matter. Look at what you have accomplished, your career, what you do have an impact on so many people. I love listening to unsolicited advice because you and Ashley made me feel like i am among friends who hype me up and can relate to a lot of things. Be you and take care of yourself and that’s all that matters. Size doesn’t matter, like you said in the video, your mind is so powerful, you walking in and feeling confident is so sexy and it doesn’t matter what you are wearing and what size you are! Love you! Keep being you! The beautiful you!
I LOVE the post office story… YES GIRL! This is so real and appreciated. I feel so seen and heard by you, thank you. All the love!
I have also always been on the heavier side. I just got out of a pretty bad marriage and I am discovering myself. I have gotten so much joy and thrill out of wearing things I would have never worn while married because of fear of judgment or reprimand from him. I totally empathize with how you felt at the post office. It is liberating when we let ourselves go. Let’s keep it up.
Same here. I don’t love my body and haven’t in long time. Really I don’t love myself. You are my hero
thank you so much for the „friendly reminder“ that all body’s are perfect! I know exactly what you mean! when I was at my skinniest, I still didn’t feel like I was perfect or enough! and I am still struggling, so that’s why I try to turn my life around! I admire your kind words sooo much! that’s exactly what I needed today!!!
it’s crazy how much a can resonate with what you are saying. i have the same thoughts about my body everyday and honestly i’ve never been happy with how my body looks even when i was my “skinniest” it’s really sad how our minds control us. im really looking forward to see how you deal with it because i will be trying to as well!
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! Your BODY is beautiful! Your SOUL is beautiful!
I’m almost nine months pregnant. Before pregnancy I was 115. I hated my body. Before that I was barely 100 lbs. And I thought I was way too skinny and needed more body fat. Once I got to 115 I realized I still hated how I looked. Now, after gaining almost 40 lbs I feel like I don’t know this body. I understand I’m growing a human and this isn’t fat or weight gain. But what we do to ourself when we look in The mirror is insane. I’m sure I’ll get hate or people will roll their eyes when they read this but body image issues comes in all shapes and sizes. You are such an amazing person for doing what you do.
You are amazing and beautiful inside and out. Thank you for using your platform so talk about this.
Healing from an eating disorder and this is so helpful ❤️ I go through body dysmorphia as well so I feel those tendencies sooooo freaking hard
This is so shocking to me to hear your story.. I’ve always been on the thicker side since high school and seeing you in Alisha’s videos, I always thought you looked so happy and so confident + you having a body I could relate too always gave me the best confidence boost. It truly shows that you never know what is going on in someone else’s life. I hope making those videos really help you talk it out and have a positive impact on your life and see the positive image you gave me for all those years!
You are THE most genuine person on the internet💕
I needed this today! I noticed how poorly I was treating myself when I saw my body in the mirror and said "ew". you're gorgeous T!
You are seriously so inspiring. The fact you put this out for everyone to see 😭 you are so genuine and encouraging. I relate to this TO A TEEE this is literally my life this was my life. Thank you so much for sharing what you went through what you are going through your whole journey makes me emo because I have lived like this for so long it wasn’t until last year that I starting changing . 💕💕💕 I’ve watched your vids for forever you Alisha and Ashley and I love every time I see you in their vids because your AND your personality is so BEAUTIFUL🥰🥰
I’m so beyond grateful that you decided to speak out about your personal struggles. This brought me in tears. I use to cancel dates as soon as they’d mention it was involving a bathing suit. Missing out on so many opportunities in life because of internal struggles. I’m still going through my journey of self love and I can’t wait to follow yours 💕
Awww Taryne! Your vulnerability is so beautiful. There are more people who feel the exact same way than you probably realize.
I really needed to hear this today. Thank you for being my reason to smile today. 🌻❤️❤️
We have a very similar situation. I was i to a relationship from age 18 to 33 & not its over and idk who i am any more. My weight has ballooned & and I i hate it & i don't know how to stop binging. I relate & I'm so glad you are here. Feels like I'm not alone. Sending you love & light Taryn.
All I can say - thank you for this. I needed to hear everything in this video.
I love these videos Taryne! You are so beautiful just the way you are and you talking about this helps so many of us! ❤️
Ps you seem so happy and encouraging i love it
You're beautiful Taryne! This resonated with me as I'm currently in my biggest body I've been in my whole life. When you showed those pictures of you I had that same experience where I saw myself when I had lost 65lbs and I was still unhappy. I wished I was her again! I was like ha! I thought I was fat then, what the heck was I thinking!? So that moment I totally understood. It's a real mental mind F! I don't get on the scale or I become obsessive so it's all about how i feel in my clothes and how my mind feels. ❤
Thank you for your transparency!!!
I so appreciate it
Dearest Taryne,
Where do I begin? You are a very beautiful soul inside and out. You are so tender-hearted and kind-spirited. You shine the most breathtaking light in this world. You are threaded with an insane amount of bravery and courage. I am so very proud of you for being so strong and being vulnerable. I wish I could jump through the screen and give you a big hug. You are doing a fantastic job. I hope you are feeling so proud of yourself. I have been watching you for many years through Alisha and Ashley's vlogs. I honestly feel like I have grown up with you. It is so obvious that God has such a purpose for your story. I adore you so much. You are an Earth Angel. Keep staying strong, fighting and being so brave. Endless love to you, Taryne. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Story of my life. I actually got sleeve stomach surgery in mexico in 2010 because of my eating disorder.....really wish i hadn't. Ive lost and gained over 100 lbs multiple times. Im 36 now and have finally 🙌 realized that it is literally all a head thing and has very little to do with my physical body. I was the most insecure and depressed at my smallest size. I totally agree with u, i have lost so so many memories and opportunities because of my preoccupation with my body and food. 🥰💗 love u girl. Keep up the fight to live your life in a state of peace, presence and confidence. Let your light shine.
One of the realist (not even sure if thats a word) videos that ive seen on youtube. I love this.
This video HIT me. I’ve been struggling with body image for as long as I can remember, and I do have good days, but it’s a process. You got this 💕 We all got this 💕
We are walking that journey together. Thank you for being so open and vulnerable. I needed to hear this. Off I go to strut my behind, just because.
Love you Taryne and this whole series!! Watching your videos, I have really tried to be intentional on how I talk to people. Complimenting people on how happy they look is so much kinder than complimenting them on their body and I credit you to teaching me that💙☺️
I can see myself in what you're describing, our minds are our worst enemy. We have to remind ourselves that IN FACT we are hot, beautiful as we are and we can thrive no matter what. We love you, girl. You got a support team right here 💜
I needed this today🥺 ❤ Thank you so much Taryne for sharing your journey with us. So much love and power to you❤✨
taryen i want to thank you for being the reason today i am trying to also be confident in myself. i’m in highschool right now. i’m so different from everyone else. no boys are interested in me. i’m so glad to say that you are my role model and someone to look up to. it’s a journey i’m also going on. trying to love who you are is a hard thing to do. i’m so happy to be on the same journey as you. i love you so much and thank you again for being there for people and sharing your story. i wish you the best of luck and i want you to know everyone thinks you are beautiful.
Taryne, I needed this video, and ive been struggling with the same things you have, its crazy that I can feel so isolated with myself, and then watch a video and feel like i'm seen and that someone relates and is working through this journey too. Thank you for being so genuine and relatable, and I love you!!!!
I don’t know the girl in the photos you showed but I have seen the woman you are now. The girl you were then would be so incredibly proud of the person you have become and the lessons you’ve learned. Don’t forget that. Thank you for sharing your truth always. I feel very seen and I’m thankful to have watched this. You’re right, sometimes you really have to talk yourself out of what your anxious brain is telling you.
I don't know why your videos help me so much. I think it's the genuineness of what you're saying. I haven't been feeling myself much and haven't picked up the camera to film in months. I appreciate your vulnerability because the internet can be so mean. But listening to your videos made me start the process of going back to therapy after over 5 years out of it and struggling! Going to take a bit because the waiting list is long but I am at least on it now.
