What is one thing you were insecure about but learned to love?
My Hips
When I was young, I was very insecure about being Black. I didn't take much pride in my brown skin or full lips, or even my curly hair. It wasn't until I got older and began to see artists like Aliyah, Ashanti, and Michelle from Destiny's child, that I began to see the true beauty in myself! I began to equate the beauty of being black with those that I saw around me. It helped me to love my ethnicity and be a proud African American!
My personality
💓💓💓
I’ve always been insecure about my Romanian nose! 😩 in the last few years I’ve learned to love myself the way God made me. I really enjoyed your vulnerability in this video, and I commend you for speaking up. You’re doing amazing and are always beautiful! Thanks A! ❤️
“No, my greatest desire is to be a mom. So give me the mom bod” why am I balling over this line😭 that was beautiful 🥺💕
I’m in tearsssss
Same here! I hear and feel her on that
I think one of the greatest things about A is she’s loved by all.. no matter race, ethnicity.. like people only say good things about her energy/presence
Facts 🤍
I agree ❤
I think she doesn’t know how she is loved and admired globally
Facts
my biggest role model
In the words of Garcelle, “Adrienne I wish you could see you how I see you, thru my eyes.” Love you, thanks for sharing! Glad you’re on the other side now 💗
This hit home for me, as it did for many.
My husband always asks me "why would you deprive yourself of any experience because you don't look the way you think you need to look?". Being healthy and being confident in your ability take care of yourself properly means so much more than any illusion you try to create.
I understand now more than ever that you need to set yourself free of expectations that weren't created to allow you to grow!
After listening to everything you said including appreciating the body God created and what your parents created it literally hit me harder than rocks. I want people who are reading this comment to know that you are loved. I hope we all learn how to take better care of ourselves and at the same time own it, love it, and embrace it.❤❤❤
Amen sister 💝
Yes! ❤
Amen
yessssssssssssssssssssssssss
I felt the same way and thank you, sending you my love.
It's so wild how everything she said she wishes she could change is everything I love about her. Adrienne is such a stunning woman, inside and out. Learning and unlearning about insecurities is always going to be so impactful to me. I think we all need that reminder
The moment you let go of the expectation of what you should look like and start embracing who you see in the mirror, The real you will get liberated and free from care. The time you spent thinking about expectations you can now spend loving yourself. As long as you feel good on the inside, mentally and spiritually the size of your pants will only be a number.
Dios Te Bendiga.
Wow, so true! Thank you.
I'm in a small city in Uganda, watching this episode after such a tough day ( most of it has been me being too hard on myself) and this episode has just changed so much about that. Thank you, Adrienne.
"It's okay to create the woman that you want to be, while at the same time accepting who you already are."
This was probably the best episode so far. Your honesty, vulnerability and love for your parents is so admirable . Thanks for what you do.
I cried throughout this video.... I really needed to hear this... I am on my journey to self love too and it's crazy how much it takes for me to do that.... but I feel empower just to hear Adrienne talked about her own journey ❤ so thank you so much for inspiring me to accept me as I am.... this video really speaks to my soul ❤
Sitting here balling my eyes out...The part about having something of our parents when they are gone got me sooooo bad! Thanks for this girl.
“You can grieve and grow at the same time” I needed this quote for multiple areas of my life (past relationships & past body physique)
But we grow into something more beautiful. Thank you for this reminder Adrienne! Love you 😍
I really hate the fact that I still hate myself at my age (almost 40). I need that shift you are talking about and I am working on it. Thanks Adrienne for this video. I think you are beautiful inside and out ❤
What help me accept and to love myself was to read and believe psalm 139. I am fearfully wonderfully made.....
@@nadiagrootboom8466 Amen. Thank you so much.
Try to ask yourself "why do you have to love yourself?". Like that you will quit the word "hate" and embrace the word "love". Send you a lot of love 🥰😘
You are not the only one.
I will be 40 this October. I’m fighting for my dream weight, but if I don’t get there it’s fine life is a gift. 🤍
This is the one, Adrienne! ✨ “You can grieve and grow at the same time.”
Ppl repost your 18 year old body but we are LOVING your current 38 year old beauty, wisdom and success. I love you to pieces!
“There’s somebody who loves that face of yours, so don’t change it.”
That’s a word right there!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What an on time message. This is exactly the kind of vulnerability, authenticity, encouragement and wisdom we need more of in the world. You definitely should write a book!
When you started talking about seeing your parents' reflections in the mirror. My heart. Thank you for this.
Wow. I’ve literally never commented on a UA-cam video, but this felt necessary. Such a beautiful, honest and REAL moment. It’s not easy getting vulnerable about your insecurities. Especially when you’re in the public eye. Thank you for showing up. You give other women the courage to show up. There’s a beautiful transformation happening inside you. Praying you follow that because that’s where your greatest blessing is. Cheers to completing the Real and I can’t wait to see what God has in store for your future. You got this sis! Muah
That was so beautiful, made me cry! You’re so right about how wonderful it is to be a reflection of your parents. I just lost my dad to Covid a few months ago, and I look just like him, and I have his same hands also! I can’t complain about how I look anymore because I love to see a replica of him in myself, and that I can be that for my mom and everyone who loved him. I’ve been coming to your channel to watch every video for a while now and appreciate who you are and your heart for God and your family; you have really brought me comfort, so thank you 💕
I'm so sorry for your loss but glad you can find comfort in these things like having our dad's hands!
Literally crying while watching this. I used to be very active and very fit at the age of 20,21. I’m turning 26 this year and have gotten married and my body has changed so much and I’m always beating myself up about it in the the mirror and my Husband will say “hey! Be nice to my wife” and tells me everyday how beautiful he thinks I am. This video really help me not only change my perspective be kind of reinforce what I already know and what to do
Oh Adrienne, You are so beautiful. Throughout your changes, I've never noticed anything until I read comments. We are our worst critics though. Thanks for making this video. I always feel like I'm never good enough but I'm working on it.
It's a journey, but you got this!
@@AllThingsAdrienne hi
I never comment on videos but I just wanted to say the message in this video is exactly what me and so many others needed to hear. I struggle with similar issues and this video helped me to not only realize I’m not alone but to give myself grace .thank you so much
All my life I have wanted to change my nose but hearing you is a reminder to myself that my nose not only came from my mom & dad but my grandpa who has passed. I’ll never consider it again thank you Adrienne 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
This video is so timely. I love and appreciate everything in it. The honesty and vulnerability. I have been going to the gym, working out and eating healthy (or trying to...lol) for several years. I have lost and gained weight so many times. I've seen others come after me and achieve what I've been trying so hard to achieve. But I watch your video and I'm encouraged. Absolutely love this. God bless you. Thank you Adrienne 💖💖💖
If you ever see my comment just know you have always been a huge role model to me. I adore you! I’m so proud of you too 💗💗💗
Adrienne, you just don’t know! I have DEFINITELY, without a shadow of a doubt looked at you and said, “She kills it and she looks like me!” And I have chosen to love my body RIGHT NOW even though I have greater aspirations for it. I love this for you, and I appreciate your transparency!
This literally made me cry 😭 I have my abuela sausage fingers and I feel the exact same way about them. Everyday I put my myself down about my body and this is such a beautiful reminder to love ourselves 🥹❤️😘 gracias
I’m here balling my eyes out! Thank you so much for this, it made me take a look at myself and just truly embrace and love my reflection. Please continue to share this real raw and honest content it’s so healing and much needed in today’s world. Thank you Adrienne❤️
❤❤❤
@@AllThingsAdrienne I was crying 😢 your video is so real and glad you said what you said it makes us feel like we need to love and embrace ourselves the way god made us.
This was everything and more! There’s definitely a healthy balance between self love and self improvement and sadly society makes us fixate more on “fixing” ourselves rather than loving ourselves.
“She kills it and she looks like me !” That part was exactly what hit me. I live the way you dress and how you carry yourself. We have similar body types and I’m thankful for ladies like you ❤️
Looooove the depth of your transparency and realness 😭
This was so timely, lately I've been feeling down about my weight gain and how difficult it has been to lose it. Thank you for being so vulnerable. YOU'RE LOVED ADE!!!
I feel the same way I just gain 7 pounds
I walk long distance on an empty stomach six days a week and only eat two meals a day. It gave me super results in less than 5 months. This can happen to any one.
The best episode of All things Adrienne so far. I needed to hear this and I know so many others feel the same. Thanks A for sharing.
I needed this. I went through 5 fertility treatment cycle and I have gained almost 40lbs from it. Self love is extremely difficult because I know where my body was before and now I'm just trying to remind myself, hey I went through all this. My body went through all this. And mentally just got to embrace the beauty behind it. But especially in the latino community, it's extremely tough. But I'm so happy to feel I'm not alone! You are beautiful, and stronger than ever 💛
Yes, Adrienne, as I’ve gotten older and ever since my mom passed I truly embrace all of my physical attributes. I get it. I used to be so critical but since she passed, I see so much of my mom in me and I love it. I also feel that it would be the ultimate betrayal to my mom and God to change anything He created through her and with love. Love you, Adrienne and you are wonderfully and beautifully made inside AND out 💗
Your words touched my heart. Right on time! Last night I was filling forms to receive a consultation on changing parts of me. I am beautiful and enough the way I am. Thank you for being vulnerable Adrienne! Sending love your way and prayers for your hearts desires. Take care!
Man you really spoke life when you brought up social media. This generation is so different from how I remember growing up and to think that we’re the generation that has to figure out how to navigate through social media is insane. It sucks that there’s no blueprint or no “how to not compare yourself” guide to social media as a whole but sadly it’s our reality. You once said in one of your videos “The things you see on social media is peoples highlight-reel of their life”.. and it’s so true. You never really know exactly what goes on behind the scenes or how many takes it took to get that 3 second shot. That is why self love is so important. That is why this video is so important, to let us and the generation after us know that it is okay to not be where we think we should be, and to not rush or compare because we see others getting there. Self love is indeed self discipline, but I also feel like the highest form of self love can also be self acceptance. Accepting that you know what my hands might be a little chubbier, but God wanted me to have these as a reminder of everything my parents have been through, and to be grateful as to where we came from.. I’m so happy you made this and said that. Thank you for this! ❤
Girl, myself and probably every woman watching you are wishing to look like you. You’re BEAUTIFUL!
Girl you got me crying in the shower watching this 😭 this was so beautiful and totally relatable. Thanks for being so raw and sharing these human emotions 🤍 your perspective is so refreshing!
A woman's body is the most beautiful unique creation of God. If we were meant to all look the same then God would of created us that way. Loving your body takes years, it's so beautiful to embrace and accept yourself for who you are at each moment in life. You are very brave for speaking up about this Adrienne. I think girls and women alike need to hear this more often. As women we should cut eachother some slack, we work, we birth children, we are wives and so on...A happy woman who loves herself can help others and do amazing things. 👏 💖 great video, powerful messages here!
Adrienne, you have been my role model my entire life since 3LW, but I have never loved you more than I do right now. I turn 30 this weekend and God knows this video is EXACTLY what I needed to hear. I am in tears. I will watch this on repeat. May God continually bless you and use you.💖💖💖
In a self-love culture I still feel like I still don't hear this enough. Thank you for speaking up on how to learn to love our self and body! you are such a beautiful person inside n out 💗🥺
I got teary-eyed when I saw this, Adrienne. Can totally related with being petite and having curves. But seeing you here and watching you on The Real, I have come to know you to be a beautiful person inside and out. And yes you do bring the fashion, from the cute to the sexy to the comfortable.
I love that you say self-love is a process of discipline and kindness and that we can grieve and grow at the same time.
For me, I see self-love as embracing where and how one is at while striving for nourishing goals, and being gentle with ourselves along the way.
Thank you for sharing your perspective and your journey. You are a continuing inspiration for me, in being vulnerable and in reminding us we all have beauty and value no comparison or societal expectations can take away.
I love this 😁😊
MY SPIRIT NEEDED THIS!!!! Thank you, Adrienne 😘💕✨
I’m 37 & i needed this today. Thank you for helping me mind shift. Thank you so so so much Adrienne!
Yes! We got this.
Omg! I NEEDED this. I'm almost on the verge of tears at my desk..The realness...Grieving that I'll never be 115lbs like I was at 18, but embracing the BEAUTY in being the curvier me at 31. And blocking out all negative thoughts of others and myself. Thank you, Adrienne! XOXO
It's already hard being a regular chick and dealing with insecurities inflicted by self or by others. I can't imagine what people in the limelight go through. Because regardless of if you're the most beautiful or not, people will always find something to pick on you on.
Beautiful episode!! You had me crying! Our features are what God created and what our parents created ❤
This really got me emotional by the end😭😭A is so authentic this was so Inspiring❤❤❤
Social Media is the breathing ground for comparison, and comparison is the thief of joy. -Adrianne Bailon
PLEASE PUT THIS ON A SHIRT 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Oh, Adrienne! You and me man, we are on this fertility journey together. My journey doesn't look exactly like yours but I sooooo relate to everything you say about it. And at 37 I'm on the same wavelength with you about the body image thing as well. I'm not 100% there yet but I too am sooo over the level of pressure I used to put on myself! Love you girlfriend!
Actualmente me pasa lo mismo Adrienne. Cuando veo mis ojos delicados, veo los ojos de mi mamá... Cuando veo mi asimetría corporal, veo la silueta de mi papá. Y despues de eso pienso en que cuando ellos ya no estén aquí, me miraré al espejo recordándolos con ternura. 🙂
So beautiful! You are always authentic but this hit in a different way. Here's to 38, mom journey, and self love. 😘😘
Like many of you I’m from the USA and recently visited Africa for the first time for an extended period of time and it changed a lot of my body issues or insecurities because women there do not seem to care. My appearance was/is normal and whatever it is you have just dress it up and keep it moving. I feel like not feeling like enough is magnified in this western society.
That’s so true about being comfortable when your at home but when other ppl are around your think of all the things they think of you
Everyone needs to watch this video. Thank you for being so honest and vulnerable with us, and mentioning facts people don’t always like to talk about. This is my favorite video You’ve ever put out fr 🥺💗💗 such profound words!! Thank you
"There's somebody that loves that face of yours, so don't change it." Thank you for this video. Your words really touched my heart. I'm always so hard on myself and sometimes hate my looks so much. You reminded me that I should listen to my boyfriend and love myself just the way I am. We're all beautiful and unique in our own way. Love you, Adrienne! ❤️
I needed this! Thank you for being so real and open with us!
i love your vulnerability an transparency, A. it’s so refreshing in a world full of shallowness (idk if that’s a word but it’s ok 🤣)
Adrienne, THANK YOU so much for sharing!!! At 37 turning 38, I have started to feel more insecure with my body, especially my arms!! Just like you, looking at my entire body in the mirror, I feel like I still look good but when I go out, I regret not working out more and so I can feel comfortable around others. I started to tell myself, each and every day, that my body is my canvas, It's a work of art. If i want to look/feel a certain way, only I can make that happen.
I was not expecting to cry this much. This is probably my favorite episode. It’s soo raw and genuine. We all need these talks to remember that we are not alone. Self-love is one of the best forms of love you can experience. Absolutely amazing video today, thank you💜
We're never alone. 💕
38 too with kids i never thought i'd have due to everything i put my body through (no having period for 11 years was one of the consequences). I am so happy and grateful for this and still can't get over this body dissatisfaction, feeling awful in my own skin. Rationally i know how lucky i am and how shallow this feeling is and still cant shake it off....
Thank you fir this video
This video and comment section are everything I needed and more❤❤😭😭
Someone who struggles with mental health, I needed this video. Thank you so much for being vulnerable and sharing your truth. You are truly such an inspiration. Also thank you for the tears today but it was good tears! God Bless!
“Loving me in the NOW…..on the journey to becoming who I want to be.” Uggghhh, I love that!! 🥹😅🤌🏾👏🏽🔥
This has giving me so much self confidence and reassurance about myself. Thank you!
I'm so happy to hear that!
Adrienne out of every famous person I’ve ever kind of known of, you have been the most perfect example and balance of not changing who you are inside just because of Hollywood but also SO much growth over the years 🥺❤️
At 42 yrs old I have finally found my health journey. After I had my kids I was 65lbs overweight for a long time and I would always say awful things about my body but at the same time tell everyone else to have body positivity. What finally turned things around for me was when I was told by my doctor I had hypertension, high cholesterol and was pre-diabetic. I lost it. Would I live long enough to see my kids get married? Would I get to meet my Grand babies? Thinking how my bad lifestyle choices had led me to this, I knew my next move would play the biggest role in my life. I realized that I needed to change to be healthy. I have lost 20lbs so far but it’s taken me 6 months. Consistency in my workouts and my food choices. I do not starve myself but I do make sure that what I eat is good for me. This is the first time in my life that I’ve been this happy. It’s not only the weight loss but it’s helped me mentally, emotionally and given me such a positive outlook of myself. I am so proud of me and that’s something I never was able to fully believe. I finally love myself and because of that I’m a better mom, wife, sister and daughter. I have no specific weight goal , I’m just focused on getting the healthiest I can be so I can be around to enjoy my family for a long time. This journey is my journey and it’s no longer about comparing myself to anyone else. I love me and I’m taking care of me because I’m perfect. ❤️
GLAD to hear you are loving your body…. It is a journey. I am going through it too. I am 46 years old, and I do have a goal of toning up. I have 2 kids under 12. Don’t give up your goals. Patience is real! Whatever makes you happy.
I’m always here watching you evolve and this episode is so needed I loved it thank you 🙏🏼maybe if we all start being honest with ourselves we can start loving ourselves more & be kinder to each other 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
Adrienne I dont know what it is that you see when you look in the mirror. You is absolutely beautiful then and now. You are truly a blessing to everyone that know and love you. I myself have always been a thick person and I learned a long long time ago learned to love myself. Becauce baby girl God dont make mistakes.
I am praying so hard that we will all hear the news soon that you’re having a baby. You deserve it and you’re gonna be a great mom. May God give you the desires of your heart
Omg! This helped me so much Adrienne! Thank you for your vulnerability, and transparency!!! ♥️
I love this message. The crazy part is over the years your body has changed watching you grow on the show and stepping into a new light day by day warms my heart. Body goals are great but your mind set and your passion about being the best you is all you need. The rest will come. I send blessings as you embrace your body and blessings for those strong arms because in Jesus name you will have that baby.
Thank you Adrienne. I felt every single word of this! ❤️
Create the woman you wanna be while accepting the woman you are!!!! This spoke to my heart!!
Thank you so much for always being so honest. Loved everything you said and I cried along with you. I just turned 40 and I have also finally started looking at parts of my body that I hated differently, seeing that parts of me are parts of my parents and that wanting to change it is trying to erase what resembles them. I have been practicing self love for a couple of years now, there’s something magical that happens in your late 30s where you start seeing life differently and focusing on what truly matters. You start to think and feel deeper and with that comes self acceptance and self love.
One part of my body that I do hate are my legs and cellulite, but just like you mentioned in your video, I quickly stop myself from saying something negative about it even if it’s not out loud because I read somewhere exactly what you said. That if we had heard a friend/ loved one talk down to themselves as we do to ourselves, we wouldn’t allow it and would quickly try to show them how beautiful they are, so why not do that to ourselves. I no longer log on to social media like I used to b/c it truly was very detrimental to my self image and that has helped a ton, as well as really inspirational books like The Untethered Soul and Seat of a Soul.
Every day we move a little closer to fully accepting ourselves as we are as long as we practice every day whenever we catch the comparisons or self deprecating comments.
How can I show my daughters to love themselves as they are if they catch Mommy saying something negative about herself (I don’t usually do so, but, I recently caught myself explaining to my daughters (who asked why I don’t wear a one piece) why I don’t wear one and quickly realized that I needed to change that. (My reason was that after 3 c sections my midriff just wasn’t where I’d like it to be for a bikini). After it came out of my mouth, I rephrased it and said that I am going to wear one because everyone is beautiful and I should be proud that my stomach stretched out like it did to accommodate them and bring them to this world and that I wouldn’t change it for the world. 😭❤️
Thank you, I’ve been struggling mentally with myself and it’s nice to know someone as beautiful as you goes through the same emotions as me ❤️
I decided on my OWN to go on a break from social media a month ago and I don’t miss anything about it. I feel more connected to MY life, I’m focused on achieving what I want and not what I saw and thought I needed.
Man I just love Adrienne so much, so inspiring, so spiritual, and so positive. Love the transparency🥰❤️
Thank you for this A!! The "I'm a reflection of my parents and God" hit so hard. ❤️❤️❤️
Preach!!!! Thank you for this!
Gosh, hearing you say that your greatest desire is being a mother so “give me that Mom bod, whatever that may be” hit me hard. I’m here beating myself up over looking heavier in pictures and not fitting into my clothes after giving birth to my baby, who’s turning 10 months. Knowing that you are trying so hard to be a mother and don’t care what that will look like postpartum makes me appreciate my body a bit more, because of what it created. I really appreciate you saying that because as women, we really do need to appreciate what God gave us. Thank you for being honest and sharing it with your viewers. So much love from a fellow Boriqua from The Bronx, New York! Stay strong Mama, that beautiful baby will come!
This is such a beautiful video. I cried when you said that your hands remind you of your dad now. We as people need to not picking out the smallest details we don't like about ourselves because if we saw those details on another person we wouldn't criticize it. Comparison really is a thief of joy. We fail to realize that most people on social media preach what they preach because of how they look, not because they practiced what they preached to become who they are. A lot of these moms that have those abs retain muscle quicker than most people and its in their genetics. It important to realize they you are trying your best and have other priorities that are more important to you.
I love this A ♥️ I’m 24 and I remember being 40 pounds lighter 2019 and my self worth has been terrible and as a short Latina we have to embrace that but also love our journey, I’m gained weight from wanting a baby the past two years and I appreciate you being open about this 🫶🏼 thank you we are in this journey together !
Amen Amen to this video Adrinne, you absolutely inspired me. I feel the same way and i am thin 130 and ive been feeling so unsecure about my body because i have been struggling with endometriosis & kidney problems , i am blessed and greatful there is a cure to these issues i have and i will soon heal from all of this. Self love & aceptance is key to life.
Yoou are beautiful inside and out and i admire you and you family .
Many blessings to you :)
I needed to hear this! Thank you Adrienne for the real talk and great message to all women! ❤️
Thanks for keeping it "real" Adrienne! You are my inspiration.
Thank you Adrienne. I have been having this same talk with myself lately, to accept me for ME. This was confirmation for me.
Yes ,we needed this from us !!Women we judge ourselves so harshly. Thank you 😊tears of relief. This is my mother's face that I love so deeply. 💓
This was so beautiful. Thank you for being so vulnerable with us
I love this lady so much. She’s so inspiring and relatable.
This was so real and resonated with me really deeply. I've been struggling with my skin lately and felt less than beautiful, but needed to see this.
Been following your channel for a while!! Love how unapologetically transparent you are in sharing. I used to be so insecure about my feet and now have an appreciation for them. Watching this video made me realize I have a lot more about myself to learn to love
Mad thing is so many people would want her eyes, nose, chin, lips, skin , body, personality so her sharing her insecurities is really powerful because it really never ends
Thank you for making this video A!! We needed this 💗
I love this video
You are so perfect
I never thought you had insecurities
I always look at your pictures and admire your beauty and get so inspired by your body fashion hair makeup everything you post.
Thank you for sharing this!! we as-woman’s have it hard because we compere ourselves with someone else 🙏🏻
Love this 💖
