you’re not alone at all and most importantly you look stunning no matter what size!! i understand wanting to fit into your clothes, but you deserve to feel gorgeous and be healthy and love yourself at any weight. also, our metabolism changes naturally as we get older and that’s okay :) i’m 26 now and, despite my diet and fitness level not changing at all over the past few years, i do weigh more than i did a year or two ago. if you’re eating the right amount of calories and treating your body right, it will find its ideal shape by itself. love you, keep going 🤍
as someone who has 1. constantly struggled with body dysmorphia, and 2. grown up in an asian household wear everyone is super thin, I GET YOU. i have had periods of my life where i have destroyed relationships because of my own obsession with food/weight. you are not alone! some advice that really helped me: try not to track weight/calories/body measurements, instead track gym performance (e.g. how much you can lift/how long you can run for). it shifts the focus on to getting strong and healthy. i also found that finding a sport that i actually enjoy, for me that was rock climbing and hiking, that also has a social aspect has made my healing journey much significant. sending you lots of love, you will get through this
love u fuzz you're so not alone in this we are all out here in the trenches!! I hate how weight is such a thing in our society especially as women and the diet and 2000's model culture coming back is petrifying. Just know you're beautiful inside and out at any weight and only work towards feeling stronger and healthier!!! you've got this consistency is key, this is our fitness girlie era💪Never compare yourself it's a never ending cycle!!💕💞
I never comment on videos but relate an unbelievable amount from the comments from family members, not fitting in anything, looking at what good shape everyone is in photos (borderline obsessively) and what food they post, my appetite is bigger than it used to be (comfort also) wishing I had old body back and far too impatient for results! It has made me feel so much better that I’m 100% not the only one feeling this way and seeing people’s comments saying the same thing
Not usually one to comment on videos at all, but couldn’t help it because I could not have resonated more with what you’re saying, I’m going through the exact same thing in what I can tell (from insta) a similar timeline to you too! Girl, you’re so brave for speaking so candidly about it all and it brings me comfort (and I’m sure to lots of other girlies too) that we are really not alone in this, so thank you!! I really get how hard it is, with the unhappiness towards our body, then finding comfort via food that only makes us feel guilty afterwards, and then we try so hard to lose weight via diet and exercise only to still feel unhappy because change takes time and strict diet and workout regimes don’t take into consideration mental health, and the vicious cycle repeats. Honestly Fuhzz, I feel you girly, but it’s okay!!because life is trial and error and we’re learning more about ourselves and our body in this process, this journey towards self love 🫶🏼 I cannot wait to look back on this time in the near future thinking it was damn hard but we’ve smashed it! Lots of love 🤍💪🏼✨
i cried. not because i got triggered by this topic but because finally, someone understood what i've been feeling all this time about my weight. i needed to hear something about this topic because i am going back to the philippines for my birthday this march and i've been feeling very anxious because the last time i was there, my aunties would comment on my weight too. how i gained weight and such. it didn't feel good and i've been wondering if they would do that again to me. i gained more weight than the last time i was there and i am feeling scared about the comments i know i'm gonna get when they see me. but huge thank you to fuhzz for making me feel more confident about my body, no matter what it looks like. also, you asked for a tip about weight logs, since muscle is heavier than fats, even if you looked like you weighed less, the scale would be the same. so i would suggest that you take a weekly photo of yourself/your body because using the scale for reference would take a toll on your mental health. you would ask yourself why is it the same after all the efforts and it would make you feel down. so i say, it's better to do progress photos than weighing yourself every time! (sorry for the long comment)
Girllll you are absolutely gorgeous!! People behind a screen will always have something negative to say, their goal is to make people upset! Don’t fall for these horrible comments, you aren’t big or fat, you look great❣️
I joined the gym with the same goal but I know am happy eating everything that I love so my body changed and also my mind lifting weights, also bodies are supposed to change, we’re not girls anymore and we grow mentally and physically into the women we are now. I stopped weighting myself because the weight doesn’t mean anything if I look and feel healthy✨like I eat everything I want and try to track my protein intake bc am pescatarian but nothing else
First of all, thank you so much for talking about this. I feel like I've been on the same journey as you. I was the same weight most of my adult life and then after COVID, I gained 50lbs. It's been four years and I still haven't accepted this is my new body. I too have so much food noise and seem to have an insatiable hunger. The only thing that has helped is eating at least 120g of protein and 2L of water a day. It helps keep me full. We got this though! We're going to come out on the other end better than ever. In the meantime, I try to remind myself of all the times I haven't fully enjoyed some amazing moments in my life because I was self-conscious of my body. It's not fair to me or the people around me. Now I try (emphasis on try) to focus on enjoying the moment versus worrying about my body. I also remind myself that there are people in the world who would give anything to have my body. Second of all, f**k what people online have to say. If my stalking has revealed anything, it's always people who actually wish they had your body bringing you down. Someone who's happy with themselves is not bringing others down. That's so cliche, I know, but it's proven to be true. You've got my support from the US and I'm cheering you on all the way!!
Same journey! This pod is so cozy. I’ve been thinking about downloading discord just to join the chat because your uploads have been a huge virtual hug every week. Much 🖤
Liked this episode. For me, even just one comment showing a real love/like whatever would override thousands of hate comments :) people are insane and typing hate messages is just a habit nowadays. Hope you don’t mind a smiley “Hi” if we see you at Virgin active - lol. and… workout requires consistency. be patient with it and it will pay back. promised :) have a good day or else!!

It's like describing myself... I feel you! The same! Absolutely the same!
as someone who has 1. constantly struggled with body dysmorphia, and 2. grown up in an asian household wear everyone is super thin, I GET YOU. i have had periods of my life where i have destroyed relationships because of my own obsession with food/weight. you are not alone!
