☼ ABOUT ME ☼
Hey there, I'm Alix! ♡ You may recognize me as the giggly girl from BuzzFeed Tasty. I made my own channel so I could show you guys my life outside of the Tasty Kitchen. (It's still a little crazy) Subscribe for videos featuring food, travel, fashion, music, fun times, adventures & more!
I LOVE ME & I LOVE YOU!!!!!
I love you too Alix!
@@jadecummings8093 i love you jade (no homo) and Alix 😘🥰😍
We love you back!
we love you too!!
I love you Alix so much ❤️
As a person who’s suffered from disordered eating. Seeing a weight gain video is literally so freaking refreshing, and like amazing! Idk! It’s an on going journey of self love, but I’m so much more unconditional than I used to be!
I don’t know what to reply with xD
I’m so glad! We’re all in it together! ❤️
"Someone's got to love me," And they should. You seem like an incredible person.
Thank you, Alix. At 57 years of age, I am just beginning to feel this. I am not overweight, but I have always compared myself to others and am now realizing how destructive that is. You are an inspiration!!!
It’s never too late to start! 💕💕
Honestly it is sad that such a pretty girl feels so bad for gaining weight. We need to change our way of thinking. We need to love ourselves. She is a stunning. Weight shouldn't even b an issue that she has to worry about.
It's weird for me to think that people like you find it hard to love yourself - you're one of the most genuine people I've seen on UA-cam; well just being an amazing person. I'd love to be more like you - and wish that I could be.
😭 thank you so much
Love you! I wish this kind of open conversation about weight loss and gain was a thing years ago. I have been struggling since I was 11 and I'm 44 now. People like you help me a lot on my journey. I still feel shame when I gain but I'm a lot more loving to myself. Thanks for this video!
Yess such an important conversation, you’re so welcome!
We support you alix! thank you for sharing
always! 💖
@@AlixTraeger Thank you so much for replying! it makes my day to have my favorite youtuber to reply!
In case someone sees this: If you can afford to, go to a therapist. Often times your body hating is a result of trauma. Therapy can really help you through the trauma to a more healthy mentality. Hope this helps
I second this! Therapy has been so helpful for me too!
Thank you for your 2nd installment of your weight journey. I am 53 and have been struggling with weight since my teens. I am still battling this vicious illness. You discussing your journey definitely helps me. Please continue to sometimes take the time out to have a discussion about this with your viewers. You are certainly a “bright light” at the end of this exhaustive struggle.
I'm so proud of you. I love that you are confident with yourself! Have a good rest of your day ♡
I remind myself to speak positively about myself when years ago my self talk was more negative. When you know you have value and speak it out you live differently. Alix, I have only followed your UA-cam but have never seen a weight where you were not gorgeous.
I remember when you posted your weight loss video, I was so happy to see you encouraging people to love themselves and their body. This video made be even more proud to be a subscriber of your channel and you are a true inspiration for all of us struggling with body image issues.
Awww I’m so glad! ❤️
This is amazing ! I’m currently struggling with Disordered Eating and this is helping me appreciate and love my body for what it is ! ❤️❤️
I have been watching you for a few years on tasty and I like you when you were abit fuller, and them boom you lost some. Just your voice alone is awesome and your laugh priceless. No matter what shape you are. The personality rocks that what got me hooked.
You are such an amazing and wise person. This video has made me so much more appreciative of myself and I want you to know that you re changing lives with these beautiful videos!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have been following you since like forever and trust me till today I root over your bubbly energy ❤ I appreciate your take on self-love. I have mentally noted all the points you've said and I'll surely apply them. Lots of love and hugs from my side to you, Alix!! Stay cute and bubbly❤❤
Thank you for sharing this! I connected with so many things you said. Looking at my thinner self and realizing I still felt gross then, being my biggest bully, and feeling shame about all these years of self-loathing. It's inspiring to see your confidence and how kind you are to yourself. Definitely still working on that.
Yessss!! Sending love ❤️
Missed you Alix! Thanks for all your insight and for making a video again. God bless you! 💗
As long as you feel good in your own skin, thin or thick, that IS all that matters! You always look great regardless hun, so keep on keepin' on! We love ya!
Thank you so much for elaborating alix❤️ We need more creators addressing this topic like you!!! There is a really great book called, “Beyond Beautiful” that I found helpful on this topic. It offers realistic tips on how to accept and respect your body.. especially in a social media driven society with unrealistic beauty standards constantly being thrown at us. For some, it is our own parents and culture..It is so difficult these days to NOT internalize feelings of shame, guilt, and loathe for the bodies we are in. Our worth is so dictated by our size..but it is so important to detach ourselves from that mind. Our size will always fluctuate and so we need to build the inner instead of focusing on the outer. We can’t feel shame every time we gain a pound on our period 😭 It is NATURAL! There is so much to love about our bodies and beyond it! We are more than our weight and I will continue to scream that and spam y’all if I need to❤️🥺ALIX. Please continue you making these if u feel comfortable, it’s helping so many ppl!!! I’m sorry if I sound preachy, I’m just so passionate about this because I know how it feels to really suffer with destructive thoughts related to eating and the body. I’m here if anyone is feeling low and wants to chat about it! dm me on insta @ moon.plushie ❤️ LOVE YOU ALIX THANK YOU AGAIN 🥰😘🤩 we need more like you. Xoxo
Yesss I hear you!!! Sending you love ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for telling your story Alix, it really helps a lot! You're a beautiful, lovely and talented woman and I'm glad that you're able to see that more and more now! These BED talks really feel like a TED talk haha! Lotss of love!
I love your practical method of for every negative thought, force yourself to think two positive thoughts! That is definitely a step anyone can take!
Thank you for doing this! You are so down to earth and I love it
thank youu!! 💖💖
I really admire you Alix, such a lovely person and you truly can motivate people. ♥️
I loved your insight about loving yourself and the tip about saying two good things about yourself for every negative thing. I will definitely start implementing that. This was something I needed to see. Thank you Alix!
I’m so glad!! 💕💕💕
My queen! Self love is what I believe in I always put my feelings and goals first. But for you of course I can come second.
Thank you so much for this Alix 💛💛 I really needed this video today.
You’re just the realest! Great energy 🌞
What a great video!! Life is full of ups and downs .... good for you for being a positive influencer throughout each phase in your life ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Living for these! The world needs more of this! Lol
You're amazing Alix! Love from the UK 🇬🇧 x
Been a minute since I’ve watched your videos. I think I needed this one 💖
I'm so glad! 💖
Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us! You're amazing! You always have great content. Keep it up!
You are awesome Alix!!! Thank you to share all those things with us!! 🥰😘
It's so important to love your self if you don't love yourself then no one will love you. The procedure of loving yourself is first know yourself then forgive yourself in order to love yourself. Never forget that we are always with you never feel alone. You are beautiful as the way u want yourself to be. 💜
I think it's such a good practice to start combating the negative thoughts about yourself with positive ones! Even if it isn't a body related compliment. Look at yourself and say what you love about you! I'm smart! I get back up even when i fall- I'm resilient! And of course slowly starting to add "and I love my long legs, or curves, or shoulders!" Whatever, point is, if you're reading this, your inside and outside is truly beautiful because it's YOU, you have so much to love about yourself. Start saying it.
Thank you. Sincerely. When my periods are coming, instead of feeling guilty of eating more because of my increased appetite, I just remember that I can grow a human. That's just crazy what our bodies can do. We should all be kinder to ourselves, eat relatively healthy and exercise because we want to keep our awesome bodies healthy and functional.
maintaining the same weight was literally a nightmare.
I had like 3 cycles of losing lots of weight just to put it back on, I'm skinny now and have been since the beginning of quarantine last year but i still hate my body.
I have stretch marks all over my body, on my stomach, butt, underarms and behind my knees, I'm happy with my skinny body now but hate it so much for all its marks that remind me daily of the way i was before.
but you gotta accept your body for what it is no matter if it's thick or skinny with marks, getting healthy and staying healthy for long enough so that your body takes it's time to get used to the new body is the way to go.
crash diets ruined my body, eating the healthy amount with a healthy slow weight loss was what i should have done but hey it's whatevs right?
to people who hate they're bodies just love yourself for who you are right now and appreciate it because weight doesn't change the relationship you have with your body, it's body image and the way you perceive yourself.
you are beautiful no matter if you are skinny or thick, all bodies are beautiful and don't affect beauty.
Thank you so much for this video! I had my first daughter to a c-section and Gained so much weight I was 135 to 196... so alot of weight... I hated my body still do had my second babygirl 2021 and breastfed for a year... went from 210 after that pregancy to 187. Lowest I got to was 181... but gain some back highest I get is 188 .... it's so hard too love myself and I show my self hate far to much. My six year old said mom I think your perfect ... I just smiled and gave her a hug and kiss. My stamach hangs so low now.... I have back problems now since my last c-section. O wanna love myself but it's so hard.. yes I gave life by being cut open twice . But I feel like it's not my body...
Yes!! Learning about how amazing the human body is helped me tremendously in my journey to love my body😍
Thank you SO much for this lovely, important reminder I really needed!
This was so helpful! Thank you so so so much for sharing your process ❤️❤️❤️
As a fellow Taurus too. I’ve been through the binge eating and my heaviest 230 to my disordered eating and over excercising down to 140 my lowest. My depression didn’t go away. I’m back up by a lot and idk how to feel or how to even start the weight loss when I’m not mentally prepared for it. Still trying to heal from a traumatic relationship that wasn’t even a real one. You’re not alone beautiful ❤️
👍✨
Thank you for the video and for all the positivity.
I felt this so strongly. Thank you so much for sharing.
I’m proud of you Alex! 💗
💖💖💖
@@lavila7007 it autocorrected jeez. :|
The episode in the major life podcast where Alix talks about self love is one of my favourites!!
Also i used to think that i should only buy new clothes and be creative with my appearance when i lose weight, but one thing that really helped me accepting myself was having fun with my outfits right now
Love ya 💖👑💖 keep being awesome
I LOVE that! ❤️
@@AlixTraeger haha 💖💖
I just like u the way u are alix!! Respect girl!! Keep going and god bless. 😊 loads of virtual hugss.. 👍🏼
Alix is the absolute best !
I remember the first video I saw of you. I thought you were absolutely gorgeous and beautiful and so funny that I couldn't stop watching. Then you mentioned that you were on a diet and that made me really sad. Just the thought that this radiant, charismatic woman wanted to be less and reduce herself did not make sense to me. I wanted to write in then but I didn't want to diet-shame you - if that is a thing. To hear now that you are on a weight-gain journey makes me really happy. Keep it up. More is more!
Love your personality👏🏾💕
YOU'RE AN INSPIRATION❤🙌
It's hard to stand strong in self-love with the hurricane of external messages we're constantly hit with.
What are some of the ways you've found to tame that tempest?
(I can see you turning your advice on self-love into a series.)
I love you Alix!
Love you Alix!!!❤
You are absolutely stunning Alix coming all the way from new Zealand you rock
My first time visiting this channel. Nice video!
Alix Makes me feel really good about myself. That's a beautiful gift you have. Thank you.

ALIX I LOVE UR VIDS 🤩 LIKE girl we relate I have also been thick and thin AND ITS NOTJING TO BE ASHAMED OF BC ITS NATURAL
I know that our personal narrative matters the most, but I have to tell you that you’re gorgeous at any size. I’m on the same journey as you- self love, baby! ❤️

😂❤️
I love u🥺❤️
I just started reading The Brain - The Story of You by David Eagleman and I am starting to feel this way. I’m like... my brain did all that? And my brain is still doing this? It’s like I am realizing I make magic too! Tons of work my body does that I should appreciate it way way more. I feel guilty of not appreciating it the way I should. But I am happy I am starting!
Thank you so much for this Video!!
''Someone's gotta love me''
Yeees this is so so true, thank you
I agree, we should learn about all of it! And aww thank you❤️
YESS, EVERYONE SHOULD READ UNTAMED. That book helped me learn to take care of/advocate for ME, instead of putting everyone else's needs before my own.
"Every time you’re given a choice between disappointing someone else and disappointing yourself, your duty is to disappoint that someone else. Your job, throughout your entire life, is to disappoint as many people as it takes to avoid disappointing yourself." - Glennon Doyle, Untamed
Thicker Alix is far, far, far more attractive Alix. Rock it girl, you're amazing.
Well, I always thought, I'm not good enough. But then I understood, that I am the only me, exsisting in this time and space, so it automatically makes me a standart of me. So I'm basically the perfect (and only) myself, and the only person, I can compare myself with (and this is pointless). Who can tell me, that I should look different, if they don't know, how I should look like, because I've never exsisted before? ))) It's like a new species, the one and only. Of course I can do something for my health, but my appearence is perfect already, cause it's totally unique and can't be comparable.
You have a great laugh and a beautiful personality. You are also very gorgeous.
I really appreciate this video 😢 my life took a turn..."not sure what happened " , i have swollen ankles so for some reason I can't exercise. I have a minimal wardrobe so I am frustrated
there she goes again 😍 🎸
I love your videos
Love your today's video..❤️
Can u make a video explaining your journey from a child to tasty ....like to cooking field ...❤️.and what's your salary at tasty as a tasty producer at tasty ...!!!😅 U r my role model...😍 I love to know each and every thing abt u ...🤩
You look amazing no matter size you are in., Godbless
I feel that. After going on birth control, my appetite increased, so I gained about 10pounds. Quarantine makes things even harder cause it's difficult to stay active + you're only a couple feet away from your fridge haha
I FEEL THISSSSS
I think your just gorgeous.
You are one cool chick! :-) I like your cooking videos btw!
💎
You have always been and are very beautiful.
I had to face all of my traumas and then things started to change for me.
@@sonnenblumenfelder8203 I'm a Christian, so I prayed a lot. I got my strength from God. I started asking myself, what is good and not good about me. I was thankful for the good and working on the not good. I had to encourage myself. I looked at the people who truly love me and took what they said about me to heart. I'm still working on it, but I know I will be ok. It has taken years to get to the point that I am now, but it is worth it. I love myself now and that is always a good thing.
Ms. Alix, you are beautiful any way you slice it 🌷❤️
You should adore yourself
You are beautiful 💚
I think that you were awesome on I draw you cook you made so many funny’s puns
Her: how I learned to love myself
Me: BTS!?
