Just because you weren't clinically diagnosed with an eating disorder, doesn't mean your thoughts and actions around food and your self image weren't disordered. You know yourself better than anyone and your body is a master at self preservation. You did and incredible job at recognising potentially very harmful mentalities and routines that the fitness industry is littered with. You should be very proud of yourself goergia!! No one but you gets to decide what healthy looks like, and I think you're killing it ❤️
Body neutrality baby, love hearing more people seeking nourishment and love for their body. ❤️ I’m also in a space of my biggest body, but shifting through love and being gentle. Sending love from a fellow big gal xx
When you said “I am the heaviest I have ever been” I teared up because everyone can see how hard you are working not just physically but mentally! But don’t let it get you down. You are such an amazing soul and we all believe in you with your self journey ❤️
I'm recovered from an eating disorder and honestly never felt that you were pushing a certain way of life. You were just doing you and sharing it. But this is such a heart warming and honest video, thank you for letting us in to your inner world because I feel like so many people can relate to this.
You may be at your heaviest in this video but you feel lighter to me, energy wise. Like you are listening to your body and starting to build a mind body connection and that is instrumental in your mental and physical health. Just adore you and am sending positive energy your way!
‘health’ is sooo much more than fitting into a particular size, and you’ve always been such an incredible role model for health of the whole self. super encouraged by your courage and strength to share your story 🤍
You are a ray of sunshine Georgia 💓 You should be SO proud of how far you have come. This is what women around the world need to see- not people constantly fussing about the scales and how many steps they got each day! A number on a scale means nothing when it comes to overall health and not enough people realise that.
sitting here crying over how relatable this video and what your words means to me. I’m so proud of you. been watching you since 2019 and seeing you evolve is so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Your relationship with yourself is such a great personality trait. You’re so candid with us and with yourself, even though it must’ve been kinda scary. Thank you for this video, you’re such an inspiration.
Watch this from beginning to end and loved this video so much georgia xo proud of you for looking after yourself and being so honest! the best role model ever 💗
I don't know if this will be helpful, but my psychologist always tells me that I don't 'need' to do anything. I constantly tell myself that i 'need' to do certain things to make myself feel better and that's not true. I 'want' to do those things. It may seem like a small difference but it made a huge difference in my own mindset. Love your videos as always ♥️
I hate that people came down on you and have made you feel so small because you bring me up so much when I watch your videos because you're always so honest and normal which always gives me hope in my own life and goals. I just hope you know how amazing you are because you do so much good for so many people 🤍🤍 take care of yourself no matter what that means!!
Dear Georgia, I just wanna say that I believe you're not fully appreciating the fact that you achieved so much on other, deeper levels. Not that the body isn't important, it's our vessel that enables us to move through life. But you focused on your thoughts and opinions to shape your character, which is a huge task! I love watching your videos rn, because I feel like I can identify with you so much rn. My whole life was based on thoughts about food and how much I consumed of it. It didn't leave room for anything else. I am also on a journey to find out who I am, because society's focus on appearance had me fully under control (and it sadly still has). I currently struggle with binge eating and the urge is huge to somehow restrict again, which makes me go back to the food cravings over and over. But...life is more than a flat tummy. And I think you're so beautiful, full stop. You also really shouldn't be so hard on yourself, especially with the hard work you put in mentally, trying to actually find out who you are, while also enjoying the life you have. Sorry for this extra large comment😅 I just wanna wish you the best!! 😇🥰
it's NOT silly to cry because of that!!!! I'm so happy you talked about this, so good to hear about this topic that no one talks about and that makes everyone feel like shit for no sane reason at all
Before i came across you, i had never met anyone who was of my size on UA-cam doing fitness... I worked out and under ate most of this time last year and lost about 15kgs .... But soon I realised that it wasn't working for me mentally.... Seeing you talk about your emotional growth and fitness journey makes me feel like finally i can relate to someone.... You are one of my favourite youtuber and trust me when i say that you have helped me heal my relationship with food and fitness so much.... I never really comment but i just wanted you to know that i am so proud of you and myself for growing so much ♥️ love from India 💛
I want to hug you for making this video. It is exactly where I am at and how I’ve been feeling too. It’s validating to see others realize we can love ourselves and want to be healthy without doing it in such an obsessive and unhealthy way! Thank you for being so honest and I am wishing you the best of luck in this new part of your journey💜
Painfully relatable, I'm 31 now and have only this year realised how much diet culture has fkd me up and I've spent 10 years doing everything, anything, nothing, losing, gaining all the things. So I hear you loud and clear sis. 💗 sending love, we got this xx
As someone who has been on a similar trajectory, and is now 37, I know exactly how you feel. I’m getting married in a few months and it’s hard to feel proud of how I look. But the other thing happening around me is several friends getting horrible illnesses. And in those moments I realise how much I love this amazing body for getting me so far and how that can change in an instant. I hope you also continue to learn and grow and get comfortable with the discomfort of living! ♥️
I am in the exact same boat, so incredibly vulnerable for you to share online. Glad to know that I’m not alone🤍🤍 Proud of you George you are beautiful inside and out xx
i injured myself too much by overexercising and no proper nutrition. But i'm no longer pushing myself to workout when i feel tired or achy as i used to before. i now take 3 rest days a week without feeling guilt or anxiety. i'm recovering! So i feel you. i get what you're saying! Much love & strength to you!!
Girl yesss I’m with you undoing all the past restrictive routine with eating and over exercising is so hard when you’re enjoying life but watching yourself get ‘ bigger ‘ rather than ‘ smaller ‘. I’ve been focusing less on exercise and only on binge eating or emotional eating and my body responded way better to that than under eating and over exercising. Give yourself grace & it takes time sometimes years to figure some more personal things out but it’s always about the journey not the destination well that’s what I tell myself hahaha You’re beautiful always & deserve to feel like it 💕
I’m 37 and it took me to literally yesterday to get back to the gym and have the mind set you have. I am the heaviest I have ever been. Don’t forget.. you aren’t starting from scratch you have built muscle too! It’s just the next journey! Xx
There are not enough words to say thank you for this video…. Your openness and vulnerability is so appreciated, there are so many of us that struggle with so much of what you say and can relate to you in so many ways. You are beautiful inside and out and truly a breath of fresh air, to the people that felt the need to tear you down, shame on them, you try to encourage so many of us with your channel and we should be encouraging you and supporting you just as much… I cried with you watching this, healing is a messy journey, just know you have so many of us on here that are so grateful for your channel and can relate to you in so many ways. Sending you love and light and a huge hug 💕💕💕💕💕
I feel this so deeply. Around 2 years ago I was so restrictive with my food like you, I wouldn’t say I had an eating disorder but I tracked everything. Since then I’m also now the heaviest I’ve ever been however, I feel the happiest I’ve ever been. I’m trying to get back into health and fitness but it feels so hard. Just know you aren’t alone and I love all your videos ♥️♥️
thank you for your honesty Georgia - it's a hard thing mentally finding the balance I'm still working on it now in my 30s lol but know that all this work is not wasted, it's all lessons to be learned x
All I can say is thank you Georgia. Thank you for your authenticity, your vulnerability, your kind words and for sharing your life with people who genuinely love you for you. I hope you know you're never alone, in what you're going through, and all the things life throws at you, we're with you! Sending all the love xx
u are my new favorite content creator now. I've been struggling a lot with my body image and toxic people recently, and then I found your channel. thank u for being such a sweet and genuine person. ❤
I love your openness, realness, and relatability! I can relate to this so much and it takes courage to share that with us all. You are truly beautiful 🤍
Its honestly amazing how many people our age can say they have had the exact same experience. Tracking feels effortless at the beginning and non-restrictive at all, then all of a sudden its months later and you're more out of control than you were to begin with. Literally shows how good life is when you are not focusing on food so obsessively
I've been passively watching your videos for a while now, but this video just made me subscribe. You are so relatable and thank you for sharing this journey.
would you make an updated video of this! i know you views on just about everything have changed so much, would love to see you talk about all this from a new pov xx
I relate so so much! It’s like you were talking directly from my own experience. It’s unreal when you have that moment of clarity and hindsight to recognise that the lifestyle you were living wasn’t a) sustainable or b) conducive to being happy and fulfilled. Society’s beauty standards can really go away thanks ✌🏻
So many people are waking up to who they are and healing and loving themelves....doing self work ect these last two years and its so amazing! I am proud of you!
thank you for talking so openly about this, i've been watching you for years and this is just such a reminder that you don't know everything that's going on behind the scenes and to always be kind
Maybe you feel insecure…but believe me when i say you are really brave to share all your journey, personal and fitness journe, I really mean it. I admire you. Take your time for do what you really want to do, step by step…thank you for your sincerity. I send you all my love 🧡🙏🏻
i have never ever related to a video more, thank you so much for sharing this! I am also struggling with being the heaviest i ever have been and figuring where to go from here and it's just so nice to know we are never alone in our struggles and other people are right there with you. Sending you all the love, we go this!!
Gosh I just want to give you the biggest hug right now but also I needed to hear this on a personal level. I know numbers are everything but gosh sometimes its hard not to look at them with regent or envy. Thank you for being so honest and letting us into this snippet of your life. Sending so much love and greatness that you share your life with us because it honesty puts a smile on my face and evening when things are down I appreciate your honesty. 💗💗💗
I think a lot of people have a similar story to tell as you Georgia, I love your honesty and how open you are. You’re inspiring and help us all feel a little more heard everyday. You’re beautiful and totally right, there’s more to us than the way we look! Live the life you dream of and be unapologetic! You do you. Loads of love!! 💗
Thank you for this video Georgia. In lockdown I did 9 online classes a week and ruined my body but it was the only thing that was keeping me going. I’m now struggling with food in general and it’s getting me down. I go to classes now about 4 times a week but I can’t stop emotionally eating. I need to accept who I am and learn how to be happy in myself. It’s good to hear that is what you have done mentally so it gives me hope 😊
Oh Georgia, I feel like watching a video of myself really. I know what it feels like. There are so many things that I’d want to tell you. I am so happy I found you. You are so so strong. Don’t let haters ruin anything for you, it’s their problem what they think, not yours. You inspire me so much 💕
I very rarely comment on anything on youtube, but after watching this, I really wanted to. As a bigger-sized person, hearing someone talking about similar things to what I am thinking is reassuring. I love your content and am always excited when you post, so keep doing what you're doing; you're an inspiration!
I felt this a lot. I struggle a lot with food and comfort eating but something that helped me eat at home more is hellofresh. Not sure if they have that in Australia, but the meals are all so good, I know exactly what's in them, I have set serving sizes, and it helped me to stop worrying so much about what I was eating and just enjoy my meals.
Thank you for sharing your story and being vulnerable with us in this space. Your channel has truly become one of my favourite online spaces where I feel safe and supported. Sending lots of love for your journey (all the way from Scotland). ❤️
You are beautiful, mind, body and soul! I’ve been watching you since before you started your fitness journey and watching you grow in confidence and joy has been such an amazing experience! You should be so proud of yourself 💕 I’ve had two kids and I know that watching your body change can be so so hard, no matter the reason or how much life is changing for the good. But just remember to listen to your own advice when things get hard ❤️
I’m on a health journey too on my channel, and (just to offer a different perspective) I’ve found the misnomer of ‘love your body just as it is’ isn’t always applicable. I don’t hate my body, but I’m not satisfied with it from a health perspective. And that’s okay. For example, I have insulin resistance. Years of eating ‘what felt good’ has gotten me close to diabetes. If one is dangerously unhealthy, it’s okay not to love that. *Not* loving my body is what has pushed me to get healthy, to change for the better. I hope that makes sense, comes across in the kind way it was intended, and offers some encouragement to you that not loving your body (for health reasons) is okay. 💛💛
What a beautiful video. So honest and vulnerable. Honestly think you are an incredible person. One of the things that drew me to your videos on the first place was watching you lift heavy - I just found it so inspiring how strong you were and how you wanted to keep getting stronger! Your goal to start eating to make yourself feel good and start cooking again is a good one. It can be easy to get into a habit of eating takeaway and fun foods all the time but after a while it starts to make you crave some nutrition..anyway, wishing you so much love. You are awesome inside and out x
Georgia, this really hit me. Thank you for this video, because I’m definitely in the same boat. It’s so hard looking at old photos and seeing how our bodies have changed but I’m so proud of you for putting this video up and sharing with us. I LOVE your content right now and LOVE the person you are becoming. Keep going, you got this!
Soo I did something for eating out. I have been doing the same ordering out a lot, not only is the food not the healthies you could you use the money better. As I want to go travel for a long period next year I made the agreement with myself: - Everytime I want to order out food, I need to put €25,- down in my deposits goal for my trip around the world next year. In my bullet journal I keep track of the date when I wanted to order out but put down the money for something better. For me this is something that really works because the end goal my trip around the world is a big big dream and with every foodorder I don't do a get a small step closer. And ofcourse you don't have to do the amount in your own currency but I might give you an idea for something else you always wanted.
Such a relatable journey, you've gotta go through the ringer to come out and know what you do and don't want. Also I'm so sorry people are so brutal online, I never understand that. Your journey will be helping so many others! Lots of love and support for you as you rebalance your life to where it feels good for you ✨🥰
Oh this is reeeeeelatable. I wish I could tell you that it only happens once in a life time. But for me I have had that happen to be for 30 of my 42 years of life. Even most recently I lost myself and gained 20kg by not prioritising ME. I have returned back to almost where I was where I FELT GOOD. That’s all. I eat to nourish my soul my body and my age (I eat to support my hormones as menopause approaches) I move in a way that ALSO supports my health, hormones, fitness, and avoid lifestyle illnesses. I love your content and I love this video!!! Xxx
I'm currently doing the 30 day soft challenge as I've been on and off ill all year and wanted to get back on track :) so far I'm doing well. Thank you for creating a more attainable little check list that actually motivates me to keep going :) thank you for being you, its always good to take a step back, keep doing you! supporting you no matter what
I started following you and continue to follow you because I love your content no matter what you post. I am a little older than you are, but you are inspiring me to want to get moving again, and I really appreciate your honesty. Thank you for posting such great content whether it's traveling around Australia (I'm in the US) or just having fun with your friends! You are fun to watch!
Even if you’re back at square one, you get to start the journey all over again and get to re-write it better this time. You should be so proud of yourself for being vulnerable like this. You’re gonna kill it, girl! Keep doing what you’re doing, I’ll always love your content! 💓
Georgia you are gorgeous inside and out, I've only started following recently but I love your content, your authenticity and the genuinely healthy relationship between mind and body that you prioritise, we're all on that journey, thank you for sharing your experience! ❤
I don't know where you live but I am a 'survivor' of the Melbourne lockdowns and during 2020/21 I was SO hard on myself. I had my 10th baby at the end of 2019 and then I 'decided' to 'finally be thin'. This resulted in me walking VERY fast daily at 5 in the morning, busting my butt playing beat saber and jumping on the trampoline daily. Flipping a truck tyre in my backyard AND being on as keto diet ANNNNDDDDDD do intermittent fasting. Even typing that out I now realise I was SO stressed and I internalised it and it came out in this way. I also made 10 quilts in 1 year and took a massive tree stump out. I stuffed my hip and my physical struggles starting happening. BUTTTT I looked thin!!! For the first time in my entire life people complimented me for "looking amazing". It is now 2022 and past mid year and I am trying to find balance again. I am trying to just get it out of my head that I "need to be thin". It's madness because I am not even hugely overweight and I seem to constantly forget that my amazing body has had 10 children! Why does my mind keep saying I must be 56kg?! I appreciate you sharing and here's to both of us living a beautiful, contented lives.
I've watched perhaps all of your videos. What ALWAYS comes through. (AND ) what I love so much. Is what a genuine, sweet, wonderful, beautiful soul you are. I don't care what you do with your body. But, Please don't ever change who you are. 🌹
I am so genuinely proud of you! Seeing your growth over the past few months in truely inspiring ❤️ thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing your journey with us!
wow, this was one of the realist and most down to earth videos I've ever watched on UA-cam, thank you thank you for being so real, for yourself and all of the other women in the world who feel the same! I could watch this over and over again. sending you lots of love xxx
I know that I am so late to watch this video (being new to your channel!), but I just felt compelled to tell you how gorgeous you are, Georgia! From head to toe, I wish you could see yourself the same way everyone else does. You are perfect just as you are 😍♥️
I wish I was this insightful when I was in my mid twenties! Thank you for showing this real content, it gave me a lot and cudos to you cause I know it must have taken courage
I am in the same place right now. Biggest tool for me is that I haven’t weighed myself. I am eating mindfully and moving my body to feel amazing not to conform to this idea of how I should look. Not easy but each day is a new day
loved this it made me a little sad but you burnt yourself out its that simple & there is nothing wrong with taking a break but listening to you now you know what you want you are ready to get back into it and bottom line is you do it for you & noone else so you do you & as hard and rude & hurtful that the haters are ...well theyre not putting there life on show you are so be proud & strong i love watching you for your georgous personality & nothing else .i wish you the best in whatever path your journey takes you on ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your honesty in this video is so beautiful. Exactly what I personally needed to hear right now and I know will be inspirational for so many. You should be so proud and I wish you all the best going forward ❤️
Really needed to hear this video, really enjoyed hearing you perspective about your health and how you approach it. It takes a lot of courage to make a video like this and be so vulnerable so being a plus size gal that struggles has days where I love and hate my body it means a lot xx
I’d love to hear you talk about your sexuality if you’re ever open about it. You’ve hinted/suggested in certain posts and videos that you may have had a realisation in regards to this and I’d be interested in how this is conflicted with your religious views and beliefs.
I loved this video G. Thank you for being open and honest! I’ve been following you since the squad house days and it’s been amazing to follow you through your journey. Watching your videos makes me feel less alone. Thank you for your content always ❤️ I hope I will get to meet you one day to say this in person!! Your videos have helped me though my lowest of lows! Keep up the good work, you are amazing 🙌🏻
I remember watching your videos during that time, and I never said anything because it’s not my place, also the fact I’m not a professional- but baby it was not good for you. I relate to you in so many ways but I went through it all younger then we are now so by the time you were, I already knew the toxicity of that environment. I wanted to grab u through the screen and hug you like honestly my heart would drop when I’d see you counting. When their was too much workouts in your videos I had to click off for my own sake (I dealt with an ED as a teen) but my heart was aching for you. It’s all good to excercise and eat well but the mindset you have now is absolutely the right one IMO. Latley I do something what is called intuitive eating. Basically I listen to my body, I meditate even, and what it tells me it needs I give it when it needs it. I drink so so much water and due to my health I do minimal exercise but I feel my body feeling better everyday. But girl I’m so glad you had that realization before it was way too late, you went through so much and I just wanna hug the old you and the new you. I’m currently on a healing journey and eating is a massive part of it. Let’s unlearn our toxic behaviours together ❤️
beautiful girl beautiful message! I am so proud of how far you have come, this video resonates with me on a whole other level and it's so refreshing to see someone be so open and real. Thank you! xx
Thank you so much for posting this. I’ve been on almost exactly the same journey as you, even have a very similar body size and shape and hearing this makes me feel like I’m not alone in my struggles ❤️ so determined to get back to feeling good again
Thank you for talking about your story. I lost 7 stone and towards the end was verging on an eating disorder. I was so obsessed with eating 1400 cal and running everyday. Thankfully I found a really good coach who started working on my mindset and I embraced food freedom and started looking after my body more. I’m now 20 weeks pregnant and I was really happy with my mindset but I’ve clearly still got work to do as seeing the scales go up has been so hard!
Thank you so much for sharing this Georgia❤️ you make me feel so safe knowing I’m not going through this alone. So proud of how far you’ve come and we’ll all be supporting you always no matter what. This was such a vulnerable video and I hope you know how much we all appreciate it, sending all the love and my biggest hugs ❤️❤️
Omg Georgia! Thank you so much for this video it resonates with me so much, I have gone through so much of the same thing I’m 29 now and this all started for me at 16 it’s so hard to get out of those habits and unlearn things only in the last few years have I stopped weighing myself and very recently am trying to stop counting calories. And to the people saying your content is bad now not true! I prefer this more real content and am personally don’t favour gym/fitness content anyway but I’ll watch whatever you post🧡
Hi Georgia, thanks for sharing your story! I was in a simular restrictive situation once but your videos really helped me to regain my confidence and to enjoy my workouts without thinking about the scale. Keep going!!☺️💗
I really needed this video because I’ve been in a slump and realizing that my body misses eating well and working out. You’re amazing thank you for being inspiring 💜
So much love and respect for you Georgia!! Sometimes you have to go through the hardest things to come out more aware on the other end. Thank you for this raw and real video 💗
Its good that you're getting to a place where you're enjoying your fitness. Unfortunately outside perspectives can have a hold on all aspects of our decisions in fitness & mindset around it. I'm glad you're working on being the best version of YOU and utilizing fitness as a tool to get there, however that may be!
Oh girl, I just want to give you such a big hug. I too am at my heaviest I've ever been (thanks worldwide pandemic ✌ - also, old profile pic). Same as you, I turned to food to cope. I also think I have previously had undiagnosed disordered eating so this was like a rebound to all the restricting/binging I used to do. I started watching Maddie Dragsbaek (can't remember how to spell her last name) and she REALLY made me look at myself differently. It also helps to get rid of all clothes that don't fit and replace them with ones that do, that definitely made me feel much better too. Bodies change. Worth doesn't. Besides, you're bloody gorgeous inside and out. You said you are back at square one but to me it sounds like you are many steps ahead ❤
hey Georgia, I think I followed you last year, when you had this kinda big social media boost. Just wanted to let you know that I didn't follow you for the „toxic lifestyle" you were in, but because I loved your personality and aesthetic. Your videos/stories/posts just always left me with a positive and peaceful feeling.Even when you talked about not feeling your best, that's what made me relate so much and stopped me from feeling guilty over not always being my best.
Just because you weren't clinically diagnosed with an eating disorder, doesn't mean your thoughts and actions around food and your self image weren't disordered. You know yourself better than anyone and your body is a master at self preservation. You did and incredible job at recognising potentially very harmful mentalities and routines that the fitness industry is littered with. You should be very proud of yourself goergia!!
No one but you gets to decide what healthy looks like, and I think you're killing it ❤️
What a beautiful message!
STOP invalidating yourself, your experience is completely valid and you’re not being dramatic at all. 💛
Body neutrality baby, love hearing more people seeking nourishment and love for their body. ❤️ I’m also in a space of my biggest body, but shifting through love and being gentle. Sending love from a fellow big gal xx
💟💟💟
"be more proud with your body is capable of doing than how it looks in the mirror" 💖💖 PREACH 🙌🏻
You’re an icon, Georgia! I could watch this a million times over… talk about keeping it real
When you said “I am the heaviest I have ever been” I teared up because everyone can see how hard you are working not just physically but mentally! But don’t let it get you down. You are such an amazing soul and we all believe in you with your self journey ❤️
I'm recovered from an eating disorder and honestly never felt that you were pushing a certain way of life. You were just doing you and sharing it. But this is such a heart warming and honest video, thank you for letting us in to your inner world because I feel like so many people can relate to this.
You may be at your heaviest in this video but you feel lighter to me, energy wise. Like you are listening to your body and starting to build a mind body connection and that is instrumental in your mental and physical health. Just adore you and am sending positive energy your way!
‘health’ is sooo much more than fitting into a particular size, and you’ve always been such an incredible role model for health of the whole self. super encouraged by your courage and strength to share your story 🤍
also a MASSIVE fan on the 30 day soft challenge 🙌
You are a ray of sunshine Georgia 💓
You should be SO proud of how far you have come. This is what women around the world need to see- not people constantly fussing about the scales and how many steps they got each day! A number on a scale means nothing when it comes to overall health and not enough people realise that.
sitting here crying over how relatable this video and what your words means to me. I’m so proud of you. been watching you since 2019 and seeing you evolve is so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Your relationship with yourself is such a great personality trait. You’re so candid with us and with yourself, even though it must’ve been kinda scary. Thank you for this video, you’re such an inspiration.
Watch this from beginning to end and loved this video so much georgia xo proud of you for looking after yourself and being so honest! the best role model ever 💗
I don't know if this will be helpful, but my psychologist always tells me that I don't 'need' to do anything. I constantly tell myself that i 'need' to do certain things to make myself feel better and that's not true. I 'want' to do those things. It may seem like a small difference but it made a huge difference in my own mindset.
Love your videos as always ♥️
I hate that people came down on you and have made you feel so small because you bring me up so much when I watch your videos because you're always so honest and normal which always gives me hope in my own life and goals. I just hope you know how amazing you are because you do so much good for so many people 🤍🤍 take care of yourself no matter what that means!!
Dear Georgia, I just wanna say that I believe you're not fully appreciating the fact that you achieved so much on other, deeper levels. Not that the body isn't important, it's our vessel that enables us to move through life. But you focused on your thoughts and opinions to shape your character, which is a huge task! I love watching your videos rn, because I feel like I can identify with you so much rn. My whole life was based on thoughts about food and how much I consumed of it. It didn't leave room for anything else. I am also on a journey to find out who I am, because society's focus on appearance had me fully under control (and it sadly still has). I currently struggle with binge eating and the urge is huge to somehow restrict again, which makes me go back to the food cravings over and over. But...life is more than a flat tummy. And I think you're so beautiful, full stop. You also really shouldn't be so hard on yourself, especially with the hard work you put in mentally, trying to actually find out who you are, while also enjoying the life you have. Sorry for this extra large comment😅 I just wanna wish you the best!! 😇🥰
it's NOT silly to cry because of that!!!! I'm so happy you talked about this, so good to hear about this topic that no one talks about and that makes everyone feel like shit for no sane reason at all
Before i came across you, i had never met anyone who was of my size on UA-cam doing fitness... I worked out and under ate most of this time last year and lost about 15kgs .... But soon I realised that it wasn't working for me mentally.... Seeing you talk about your emotional growth and fitness journey makes me feel like finally i can relate to someone.... You are one of my favourite youtuber and trust me when i say that you have helped me heal my relationship with food and fitness so much.... I never really comment but i just wanted you to know that i am so proud of you and myself for growing so much ♥️ love from India 💛
I want to hug you for making this video. It is exactly where I am at and how I’ve been feeling too. It’s validating to see others realize we can love ourselves and want to be healthy without doing it in such an obsessive and unhealthy way! Thank you for being so honest and I am wishing you the best of luck in this new part of your journey💜
Painfully relatable, I'm 31 now and have only this year realised how much diet culture has fkd me up and I've spent 10 years doing everything, anything, nothing, losing, gaining all the things. So I hear you loud and clear sis. 💗 sending love, we got this xx
you should be so proud of yourself George! A big YES to everything you touched on. You're inspiring more people than you know x
As someone who has been on a similar trajectory, and is now 37, I know exactly how you feel. I’m getting married in a few months and it’s hard to feel proud of how I look. But the other thing happening around me is several friends getting horrible illnesses. And in those moments I realise how much I love this amazing body for getting me so far and how that can change in an instant. I hope you also continue to learn and grow and get comfortable with the discomfort of living! ♥️
I am in the exact same boat, so incredibly vulnerable for you to share online. Glad to know that I’m not alone🤍🤍 Proud of you George you are beautiful inside and out xx
i injured myself too much by overexercising and no proper nutrition. But i'm no longer pushing myself to workout when i feel tired or achy as i used to before. i now take 3 rest days a week without feeling guilt or anxiety. i'm recovering! So i feel you. i get what you're saying! Much love & strength to you!!
Girl yesss I’m with you undoing all the past restrictive routine with eating and over exercising is so hard when you’re enjoying life but watching yourself get ‘ bigger ‘ rather than ‘ smaller ‘. I’ve been focusing less on exercise and only on binge eating or emotional eating and my body responded way better to that than under eating and over exercising. Give yourself grace & it takes time sometimes years to figure some more personal things out but it’s always about the journey not the destination well that’s what I tell myself hahaha
You’re beautiful always & deserve to feel like it 💕
I’m 37 and it took me to literally yesterday to get back to the gym and have the mind set you have. I am the heaviest I have ever been. Don’t forget.. you aren’t starting from scratch you have built muscle too! It’s just the next journey! Xx
There are not enough words to say thank you for this video…. Your openness and vulnerability is so appreciated, there are so many of us that struggle with so much of what you say and can relate to you in so many ways. You are beautiful inside and out and truly a breath of fresh air, to the people that felt the need to tear you down, shame on them, you try to encourage so many of us with your channel and we should be encouraging you and supporting you just as much… I cried with you watching this, healing is a messy journey, just know you have so many of us on here that are so grateful for your channel and can relate to you in so many ways. Sending you love and light and a huge hug 💕💕💕💕💕
I feel this so deeply. Around 2 years ago I was so restrictive with my food like you, I wouldn’t say I had an eating disorder but I tracked everything. Since then I’m also now the heaviest I’ve ever been however, I feel the happiest I’ve ever been. I’m trying to get back into health and fitness but it feels so hard. Just know you aren’t alone and I love all your videos ♥️♥️
thank you for your honesty Georgia - it's a hard thing mentally finding the balance I'm still working on it now in my 30s lol but know that all this work is not wasted, it's all lessons to be learned x
All I can say is thank you Georgia. Thank you for your authenticity, your vulnerability, your kind words and for sharing your life with people who genuinely love you for you. I hope you know you're never alone, in what you're going through, and all the things life throws at you, we're with you! Sending all the love xx
u are my new favorite content creator now. I've been struggling a lot with my body image and toxic people recently, and then I found your channel. thank u for being such a sweet and genuine person. ❤
I love your openness, realness, and relatability! I can relate to this so much and it takes courage to share that with us all. You are truly beautiful 🤍
Thank you for your raw honesty, I would follow you no matter what you looked like! Sending my love ❤️❤️❤️
Its honestly amazing how many people our age can say they have had the exact same experience. Tracking feels effortless at the beginning and non-restrictive at all, then all of a sudden its months later and you're more out of control than you were to begin with. Literally shows how good life is when you are not focusing on food so obsessively
I've been passively watching your videos for a while now, but this video just made me subscribe. You are so relatable and thank you for sharing this journey.
would you make an updated video of this! i know you views on just about everything have changed so much, would love to see you talk about all this from a new pov xx
I relate so so much! It’s like you were talking directly from my own experience. It’s unreal when you have that moment of clarity and hindsight to recognise that the lifestyle you were living wasn’t a) sustainable or b) conducive to being happy and fulfilled. Society’s beauty standards can really go away thanks ✌🏻
So many people are waking up to who they are and healing and loving themelves....doing self work ect these last two years and its so amazing! I am proud of you!
thank you for talking so openly about this, i've been watching you for years and this is just such a reminder that you don't know everything that's going on behind the scenes and to always be kind
Maybe you feel insecure…but believe me when i say you are really brave to share all your journey, personal and fitness journe, I really mean it. I admire you. Take your time for do what you really want to do, step by step…thank you for your sincerity. I send you all my love 🧡🙏🏻
i have never ever related to a video more, thank you so much for sharing this! I am also struggling with being the heaviest i ever have been and figuring where to go from here and it's just so nice to know we are never alone in our struggles and other people are right there with you. Sending you all the love, we go this!!
Gosh I just want to give you the biggest hug right now but also I needed to hear this on a personal level. I know numbers are everything but gosh sometimes its hard not to look at them with regent or envy. Thank you for being so honest and letting us into this snippet of your life. Sending so much love and greatness that you share your life with us because it honesty puts a smile on my face and evening when things are down I appreciate your honesty. 💗💗💗
I think a lot of people have a similar story to tell as you Georgia, I love your honesty and how open you are. You’re inspiring and help us all feel a little more heard everyday. You’re beautiful and totally right, there’s more to us than the way we look! Live the life you dream of and be unapologetic! You do you. Loads of love!! 💗
Thank you for this video Georgia. In lockdown I did 9 online classes a week and ruined my body but it was the only thing that was keeping me going. I’m now struggling with food in general and it’s getting me down. I go to classes now about 4 times a week but I can’t stop emotionally eating. I need to accept who I am and learn how to be happy in myself. It’s good to hear that is what you have done mentally so it gives me hope 😊
Oh Georgia, I feel like watching a video of myself really. I know what it feels like. There are so many things that I’d want to tell you. I am so happy I found you. You are so so strong. Don’t let haters ruin anything for you, it’s their problem what they think, not yours. You inspire me so much 💕
I very rarely comment on anything on youtube, but after watching this, I really wanted to. As a bigger-sized person, hearing someone talking about similar things to what I am thinking is reassuring. I love your content and am always excited when you post, so keep doing what you're doing; you're an inspiration!
so proud of you for being vulnerable and posting this, so many people are going through the same struggle beautiful girl
💟💟💟
I felt this a lot. I struggle a lot with food and comfort eating but something that helped me eat at home more is hellofresh. Not sure if they have that in Australia, but the meals are all so good, I know exactly what's in them, I have set serving sizes, and it helped me to stop worrying so much about what I was eating and just enjoy my meals.
Thank you for sharing your story and being vulnerable with us in this space. Your channel has truly become one of my favourite online spaces where I feel safe and supported. Sending lots of love for your journey (all the way from Scotland). ❤️
The real journey is within, when you learn to love yourself no matter what, everything else falls naturally into place ❤️ you’ll see! xx
we adore you so much georgia!!
You are beautiful, mind, body and soul! I’ve been watching you since before you started your fitness journey and watching you grow in confidence and joy has been such an amazing experience! You should be so proud of yourself 💕 I’ve had two kids and I know that watching your body change can be so so hard, no matter the reason or how much life is changing for the good. But just remember to listen to your own advice when things get hard ❤️
I’m on a health journey too on my channel, and (just to offer a different perspective) I’ve found the misnomer of ‘love your body just as it is’ isn’t always applicable. I don’t hate my body, but I’m not satisfied with it from a health perspective. And that’s okay. For example, I have insulin resistance. Years of eating ‘what felt good’ has gotten me close to diabetes. If one is dangerously unhealthy, it’s okay not to love that. *Not* loving my body is what has pushed me to get healthy, to change for the better. I hope that makes sense, comes across in the kind way it was intended, and offers some encouragement to you that not loving your body (for health reasons) is okay. 💛💛
Love this perspective!!
What a beautiful video. So honest and vulnerable. Honestly think you are an incredible person. One of the things that drew me to your videos on the first place was watching you lift heavy - I just found it so inspiring how strong you were and how you wanted to keep getting stronger! Your goal to start eating to make yourself feel good and start cooking again is a good one. It can be easy to get into a habit of eating takeaway and fun foods all the time but after a while it starts to make you crave some nutrition..anyway, wishing you so much love. You are awesome inside and out x
Georgia, this really hit me. Thank you for this video, because I’m definitely in the same boat. It’s so hard looking at old photos and seeing how our bodies have changed but I’m so proud of you for putting this video up and sharing with us. I LOVE your content right now and LOVE the person you are becoming. Keep going, you got this!
thank you for being so honest. We all have our battles. You are doing great, Georgia 💖
Soo I did something for eating out. I have been doing the same ordering out a lot, not only is the food not the healthies you could you use the money better. As I want to go travel for a long period next year I made the agreement with myself:
- Everytime I want to order out food, I need to put €25,- down in my deposits goal for my trip around the world next year. In my bullet journal I keep track of the date when I wanted to order out but put down the money for something better.
For me this is something that really works because the end goal my trip around the world is a big big dream and with every foodorder I don't do a get a small step closer. And ofcourse you don't have to do the amount in your own currency but I might give you an idea for something else you always wanted.
Such a relatable journey, you've gotta go through the ringer to come out and know what you do and don't want. Also I'm so sorry people are so brutal online, I never understand that. Your journey will be helping so many others! Lots of love and support for you as you rebalance your life to where it feels good for you ✨🥰
I relate to this so much. I am experiencing the exact same thing at the moment. You are not alone girly we’ve got your back ❤️❤️❤️
Oh this is reeeeeelatable. I wish I could tell you that it only happens once in a life time. But for me I have had that happen to be for 30 of my 42 years of life. Even most recently I lost myself and gained 20kg by not prioritising ME. I have returned back to almost where I was where I FELT GOOD. That’s all. I eat to nourish my soul my body and my age (I eat to support my hormones as menopause approaches) I move in a way that ALSO supports my health, hormones, fitness, and avoid lifestyle illnesses. I love your content and I love this video!!! Xxx
I'm currently doing the 30 day soft challenge as I've been on and off ill all year and wanted to get back on track :) so far I'm doing well. Thank you for creating a more attainable little check list that actually motivates me to keep going :) thank you for being you, its always good to take a step back, keep doing you! supporting you no matter what
Be proud of yourself!!! Life comes and goes in seasons. You should be proud
I started following you and continue to follow you because I love your content no matter what you post. I am a little older than you are, but you are inspiring me to want to get moving again, and I really appreciate your honesty. Thank you for posting such great content whether it's traveling around Australia (I'm in the US) or just having fun with your friends! You are fun to watch!
Even if you’re back at square one, you get to start the journey all over again and get to re-write it better this time. You should be so proud of yourself for being vulnerable like this. You’re gonna kill it, girl! Keep doing what you’re doing, I’ll always love your content! 💓
Georgia you are gorgeous inside and out, I've only started following recently but I love your content, your authenticity and the genuinely healthy relationship between mind and body that you prioritise, we're all on that journey, thank you for sharing your experience! ❤
I don't know where you live but I am a 'survivor' of the Melbourne lockdowns and during 2020/21 I was SO hard on myself. I had my 10th baby at the end of 2019 and then I 'decided' to 'finally be thin'. This resulted in me walking VERY fast daily at 5 in the morning, busting my butt playing beat saber and jumping on the trampoline daily. Flipping a truck tyre in my backyard AND being on as keto diet ANNNNDDDDDD do intermittent fasting. Even typing that out I now realise I was SO stressed and I internalised it and it came out in this way. I also made 10 quilts in 1 year and took a massive tree stump out. I stuffed my hip and my physical struggles starting happening. BUTTTT I looked thin!!! For the first time in my entire life people complimented me for "looking amazing". It is now 2022 and past mid year and I am trying to find balance again. I am trying to just get it out of my head that I "need to be thin". It's madness because I am not even hugely overweight and I seem to constantly forget that my amazing body has had 10 children! Why does my mind keep saying I must be 56kg?! I appreciate you sharing and here's to both of us living a beautiful, contented lives.
I've watched perhaps all of your videos. What ALWAYS comes through. (AND ) what I love so much. Is what a genuine, sweet, wonderful, beautiful soul you are. I don't care what you do with your body. But, Please don't ever change who you are. 🌹
I am so genuinely proud of you! Seeing your growth over the past few months in truely inspiring ❤️ thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing your journey with us!
wow, this was one of the realist and most down to earth videos I've ever watched on UA-cam, thank you thank you for being so real, for yourself and all of the other women in the world who feel the same! I could watch this over and over again. sending you lots of love xxx
I know that I am so late to watch this video (being new to your channel!), but I just felt compelled to tell you how gorgeous you are, Georgia! From head to toe, I wish you could see yourself the same way everyone else does. You are perfect just as you are 😍♥️
Sending so much love and positivity your way. I resonate with this so much, even at 31. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your struggles.
I wish I was this insightful when I was in my mid twenties! Thank you for showing this real content, it gave me a lot and cudos to you cause I know it must have taken courage
I am in the same place right now. Biggest tool for me is that I haven’t weighed myself. I am eating mindfully and moving my body to feel amazing not to conform to this idea of how I should look. Not easy but each day is a new day
I literally follow you because you are a “normal”.. it’s so such to be able to relate to someone
Absolutely beyond proud of you for being so vulnerable! 💕
Happy Tuesday night Georgia and you are amazing productive and your workout is amazing I'm proud of you
loved this it made me a little sad but you burnt yourself out its that simple & there is nothing wrong with taking a break but listening to you now you know what you want you are ready to get back into it and bottom line is you do it for you & noone else so you do you & as hard and rude & hurtful that the haters are ...well theyre not putting there life on show you are so be proud & strong i love watching you for your georgous personality & nothing else .i wish you the best in whatever path your journey takes you on ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your honesty in this video is so beautiful. Exactly what I personally needed to hear right now and I know will be inspirational for so many. You should be so proud and I wish you all the best going forward ❤️
This is literally me right now! Soo glad I found your channel
Really needed to hear this video, really enjoyed hearing you perspective about your health and how you approach it. It takes a lot of courage to make a video like this and be so vulnerable so being a plus size gal that struggles has days where I love and hate my body it means a lot xx
I’d love to hear you talk about your sexuality if you’re ever open about it. You’ve hinted/suggested in certain posts and videos that you may have had a realisation in regards to this and I’d be interested in how this is conflicted with your religious views and beliefs.
I think body positivity is such a hard concept to live by but it’s so worth the growth! Thanks for sharing this Georgia ❤️
I loved this video G. Thank you for being open and honest! I’ve been following you since the squad house days and it’s been amazing to follow you through your journey. Watching your videos makes me feel less alone. Thank you for your content always ❤️ I hope I will get to meet you one day to say this in person!! Your videos have helped me though my lowest of lows! Keep up the good work, you are amazing 🙌🏻
I remember watching your videos during that time, and I never said anything because it’s not my place, also the fact I’m not a professional- but baby it was not good for you. I relate to you in so many ways but I went through it all younger then we are now so by the time you were, I already knew the toxicity of that environment. I wanted to grab u through the screen and hug you like honestly my heart would drop when I’d see you counting. When their was too much workouts in your videos I had to click off for my own sake (I dealt with an ED as a teen) but my heart was aching for you. It’s all good to excercise and eat well but the mindset you have now is absolutely the right one IMO. Latley I do something what is called intuitive eating. Basically I listen to my body, I meditate even, and what it tells me it needs I give it when it needs it. I drink so so much water and due to my health I do minimal exercise but I feel my body feeling better everyday. But girl I’m so glad you had that realization before it was way too late, you went through so much and I just wanna hug the old you and the new you. I’m currently on a healing journey and eating is a massive part of it. Let’s unlearn our toxic behaviours together ❤️
More people need to hear this… this video is truely one step closer to breaking health/fitness and beauty industry.
beautiful girl beautiful message! I am so proud of how far you have come, this video resonates with me on a whole other level and it's so refreshing to see someone be so open and real. Thank you! xx
Thank you so much for posting this. I’ve been on almost exactly the same journey as you, even have a very similar body size and shape and hearing this makes me feel like I’m not alone in my struggles ❤️ so determined to get back to feeling good again
Fully recommend the Maintenance Phase podcast!!
Thank you for talking about your story. I lost 7 stone and towards the end was verging on an eating disorder. I was so obsessed with eating 1400 cal and running everyday. Thankfully I found a really good coach who started working on my mindset and I embraced food freedom and started looking after my body more. I’m now 20 weeks pregnant and I was really happy with my mindset but I’ve clearly still got work to do as seeing the scales go up has been so hard!
Thank you so much for sharing this Georgia❤️ you make me feel so safe knowing I’m not going through this alone. So proud of how far you’ve come and we’ll all be supporting you always no matter what. This was such a vulnerable video and I hope you know how much we all appreciate it, sending all the love and my biggest hugs ❤️❤️
This was so comforting to listen to and know we aren’t alone on these ups and downs. Thank you for being you Georgia!💓
Omg Georgia! Thank you so much for this video it resonates with me so much, I have gone through so much of the same thing I’m 29 now and this all started for me at 16 it’s so hard to get out of those habits and unlearn things only in the last few years have I stopped weighing myself and very recently am trying to stop counting calories. And to the people saying your content is bad now not true! I prefer this more real content and am personally don’t favour gym/fitness content anyway but I’ll watch whatever you post🧡
Hi Georgia, thanks for sharing your story! I was in a simular restrictive situation once but your videos really helped me to regain my confidence and to enjoy my workouts without thinking about the scale. Keep going!!☺️💗
I really needed this video because I’ve been in a slump and realizing that my body misses eating well and working out. You’re amazing thank you for being inspiring 💜
So much love and respect for you Georgia!! Sometimes you have to go through the hardest things to come out more aware on the other end. Thank you for this raw and real video 💗
Thank you for being vulnerable ❤️ This has helped me immensely!
sometimes people showing "hate" are just trying to show a different perspective. it's a good life lesson to learn.
Its good that you're getting to a place where you're enjoying your fitness. Unfortunately outside perspectives can have a hold on all aspects of our decisions in fitness & mindset around it. I'm glad you're working on being the best version of YOU and utilizing fitness as a tool to get there, however that may be!
Oh girl, I just want to give you such a big hug. I too am at my heaviest I've ever been (thanks worldwide pandemic ✌ - also, old profile pic). Same as you, I turned to food to cope. I also think I have previously had undiagnosed disordered eating so this was like a rebound to all the restricting/binging I used to do. I started watching Maddie Dragsbaek (can't remember how to spell her last name) and she REALLY made me look at myself differently. It also helps to get rid of all clothes that don't fit and replace them with ones that do, that definitely made me feel much better too. Bodies change. Worth doesn't. Besides, you're bloody gorgeous inside and out. You said you are back at square one but to me it sounds like you are many steps ahead ❤
hey Georgia, I think I followed you last year, when you had this kinda big social media boost. Just wanted to let you know that I didn't follow you for the „toxic lifestyle" you were in, but because I loved your personality and aesthetic. Your videos/stories/posts just always left me with a positive and peaceful feeling.Even when you talked about not feeling your best, that's what made me relate so much and stopped me from feeling guilty over not always being my best.
