Hi everyone! I hope you are all doing well and staying safe! I'm planning to film an "All In" update soon, can you believe it's been almost a year!? Thank you so much for everything, love you guys more than you know! 😘
i adore your videos, and you dont know how much you help me to love myself day by day
You have no idea how much of an influence you've been in my life for years now and I'm so happy for it! I love you and everything you stand for!
A whole year! My goodness gracious!
My question is when will "all in" end and what will come after?
I never miss a single video of yours! ❤ I wanted to ask you what website did you use to order weights?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do more “what I eat in a day” they give me good realistic ideas for food!!
Definitely please!
Yassss same here I need these videos.
It's so satisfying to see a "What I Eat in a Day" that isn't pretentious, and has meals that are actually filling and instinctual.
She eats the same shit everyday
Stephanie is a fake. Please read this: www.reddit.com/r/xxfitness/comments/fef83g/thoughts_on_stephanie_buttermores_all_in_journey/?
To anyone with an ED watching this - please listen to what Stephanie says near the end.
The feeling of regaining normal hunger cues, being able to recognise hunger and to feel satiated, being able to just eat - it is possible and is such a relief when you get there.
Not going to bed and thinking of breakfast or about what you'll next let yourself eat tomorrow. Not eating a meal and feeling exactly the same after it as you did before - actually feeling satisfied, mentally and physically.
You don't necessarily realise just how much of your thoughts, day, mind and life it all consumes until you manage to get past it.
It is worth it, I promise.
@Chloe Q I was absolutely not suggesting that someone with an ED goes without seeking professional help nor solely bases their recovery approach off other people. My comment was just regarding her words which personally I could relate with strongly after coming through anorexia recovery. For me one of the biggest things was just learning to be able to trust my body again - getting hunger signals, being able to respond to them and beginning to think more clearly/logically and that only started happening when I began eating unrestrictedly.
@Wilfy Derfliw I'm really glad you've experienced that too :)
Ultimately we all have different paths through recovery and I feel that's important to respect. I went through recovery for anorexia and it was essential for me to restore weight - physically and mentally - and that will be the case for many others also.
When in hospital treatment I found I was still restricted as my meal plan was gradually increased - in contrast to when going through refeeding at home where I ate a greater amount of food I found I managed to begin reach a mental and physical satisfaction, that I didn't in hospital, despite my weight restoring not restoring higher.
@Chloe Q I haven't watched/don't follow Stephanie's channel/videos so I can't comment on that but I agree that unfortunately a lot of fitness/health 'influencers' do embodied disordered habits /mindsets - ofc there is a whole kind of spectrum from disordered eating/behaviours (which tbh I see in a lot of people in society) to full-blown eating disorders. It can be impossible to know where on that spectrum someone is - and it does make me sad to think that these influential people are potentially having incredibly negative effects not only on their own health/mindsets but others as well. I started using the Instagram recovery 'community' many years ago when I was near the end of my inpatient treatment and it has surprised me the change in it, for instance looking at hashtags and seeing so many fitness influencer pictures.
As I said I don't watch videos on these types of channels (or follow instagrams like that) for the reason that I don't find them helpful - I've seen too many people say they are recovering and falling deeper into their ED under the guise of healthy eating or exercise etc. - but yes I'd agree that what you are saying regarding her videos/statements doesn't add up. Unfortunately again I've seen that with many people - words/pictures that don't quite click.
Ultimately increasing intake/weight restoration is an important part of recovery - alongside other aspects. All I hoped to possibly to with my comment is signal to the (likely many) diagnosed or undiagnosed ED sufferers watching this video/reading the comments that things can change because I know how hopeless I felt at points thinking that I would never be able to listen to my hunger again, know how it felt to be satisfied after a meal or not have every waking (and often sleeping) moment consumed by thoughts of food.
Take care :)
Well lets be honest, it isn’t that easy.
@@LOLsmileyface1992 No it isn't easy. I won't ever tell anyone recovery is easy - in fact I'd almost guarantee it'll be very uncomfortable - but it is possible.
It took me 5-6 years from going in to hospital (and being diagnosed) to get to the point where I felt I could say I was recovered. The biggest thing for me, and many others I've spoken with, is deciding that you really truly want to change things.
I put in a hell of a lot of work into recovering. Yes I felt like shit sometimes, yes I felt like giving up and had to force myself to make the choice to keep going every day, yes I had relapses and had to claw back - but I did it, and so can others.
If you are in a not so good place just now, I really wish you all the best and hope things get better for you, xx
I'm a guy that's always thought you had to be hungry to be fit. Honestly when I first watched your all in video it was at a time where I was so low. Low on energy, low on drive, low on motivation and really depressed. I tracked your progress and decided to give it a try. I can say 7 months later I feel amazing. I finally feel alive and oddly my mental state is alot better. Everything before this moment felt like a haze. The weirdest part to is the second I started eating more I lost more weight then I ever had before and put on alot more muscle. So thank you with all my heart. You opened my eyes
dragonfly232010 so glad you’re in a better place ❤️🤗
I'm happy for you!
That’s so awesome! It’s amazing what being properly fueled can do! 😊😊
That's awesome dude. I'm happy for you!!!
Thanks all this community is the nicest. Appreciate all the comments
Alot of youtubers who claim to be "intuitive eaters" actually still seem to be dieting and sticking to 'safe' foods like healthy snacks etc. I think you're the only youtuber who is TRULY eating intuitively and genuinely allowing yourself to gain weight and trust the process. Thank you for your honesty, seriously love you :) I am trying to cure my diet mentality, you're helping so much more than you know!
Eating intuitively only works in the wild jungle. You can't eat intuitively if you're surrounded by junk food everywhere you go.
@@chiragrulze You can eat intuitively if you remember to carry a bag of your favorite finger foods with you when you leave the house.
What I meant to emphasize is that you will eat more healthy foods if you make access to healthy foods more convenient
Do you know Natacha Oceane? She is one of those rare genuine intuitive eaters, too.
@@Hypn0p0mpic Yep she is
I cannot get over at how much of a kind and down to earth person you are, beyond brave and beautiful!! I always looks forward to your videos!😊
Lola P If you’re interested in checking out different videos I post quick and effective workouts up on my channel ✨💕
She is so gorgeous inside and out
Agreed :)
She can make simple food look like restaurant food. All of it looks good!
Lola P agree
Me hearing Stephanie talking about how happy she is: 🥺🥺❤️❤️🥰🥰
SO gorgeous!
Mirai samee😍😍😍😍
Yes! And the workout with her mom 🥰🥰
Pause at 14:26
it's what she deserves ! 🥺💖🥰
You're part of the reason why I started eating an adequate amount of calories and stopped weighing myself everyday. You are so inspiring!
blue waves omfg she is destroying people
@@HotGuypack how is she destroying people?
@@bluewaves4188 ignore these trolls that thrive off of women's insecurities. GOD FORBID a woman being happy in herself and basing her self worth on far more than how small she is! You keep doing what you're doing xx
@@Lissy255 I mean, I still eat healthy and maintain a healthy weight. I just don't obsess about weighing myself anymore...
@@Lissy255 and thank you for your support!
I love this Stephanie - she’s so real, so raw and so honest with herself. Yes for using terms like “eyeball”, “adding a little extra crunch”, “big scoop” and “snack 1 & snack 2”. Stephanie, you are an inspiration to those recovering from anorexia, bullimia, binge eating disorder, obesity, orthorexia and BDD. Thank you for being a voice your followers need!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Priscilla Issa totally agree !!!
I couldn't agree more! I don't know this lovely lady's channel, but the video was in my suggested feed. Honestly I was pretty sure watching it would be bad idea, since I'm recovering from anorexia and gets easily triggered. I'm so relieved to see someone eating normal portions and having a healthy approach to food.
I agree so much with it, her strength and courage helped us soooooo much. She showed us the backstage of all the process without taboo! It is like a suplement therapy
Some mess Ain’t nothing wrong with it if it’s about uplifting people’s mental health.
Stephanie is a fake. Please don’t follow her advice. Read the truth here: www.reddit.com/r/xxfitness/comments/fef83g/thoughts_on_stephanie_buttermores_all_in_journey/?
It’s so nice to see a fitness influencer who doesn’t value or praise the “skinny” body, and is focused more on following hunger cues and listening to ones body. Stef is really an inspiration 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽👏👏👏
McKenna Carter she’s fat u dumbass
@@michelangelo2920 I don't see the problem,what if she is fat lol
Dude she is far from fat
Well she cracked under skinny girl diet. A decade long diet
She's nowhere near fat, and it's disturbing that some people think so . She's healthy and probably fitter than every person commenting on her being fat. And even if she were fat, what good could possibly come from your comment? There's nothing brave about throwing insults at people brave enough to share their journey with food and their body whilst hiding behind a computer screen.
I am in the process of “all in” now, and it has helped me regain my period back after losing it for almost two years. I feel a lot healthier now from listening to my body’s hunger signals, and am no longer underweight. Thank you Stephanie for inspiring me ❤️
PlantishDelights what did you do to regain your period? Tell me please because I’m tired to worry about it
Arina I am an elite athlete so the problem for me was over-exercising and not eating enough calories. So I slowly reduced the amount of exercise that I did, and made sure that I was eating enough food to fuel my body. To make sure that I would eat when I was hungry without restricting. Also I stopped intermittent fasting, as I found that it affected my hormone levels. It was a hard process mentally and physically, especially because as an athlete sometimes there’s pressure to have a certain “body image.” But in the end it was totally worth it, and I feel so much happier now.
PlantishDelights thank you so much
Yes girl!!
Guys this isn’t about eating to obesity. It’s about listening to your hunger cues. She has messed up her hunger cues so she had to eat extra to get out of starvation mode. She isn’t obese and she isn’t trying to support it. She believes everything is good in moderation.
Yesss
this is why i stan her. my favorite fitness influencer.
She is obese, but so what..
Lesbisk1000 search obese. She is nowhere near that staintment. She is absolutly perfect weight. 😙😙
@@victoria_561 this. She is absolutely NOT obese. Not even close.
Your weight gain is one thing. Inspirational!
To normalise weight gain and show it in such a positive light is so important in this day and age. You should be so damn proud
I could not have said this better myself!
yes, we need to normalise only praising weight loss/gain as a means of becoming healthier both mentally and physically
thank you for being a role model for us, we are constantly told what we should look like, how we should eat, how we're not perfect enough. thank you for focusing on your health above all, thank you for being a positive encouragement, thank you for being real. honestly i admire you so much, for being so strong, beautiful and intelligent, stay safe and stay healthy, wishing you the best ✨💖
Gaby Wu she’s the best!! She encouraged me to start my own UA-cam channel with quick and effective workouts. If you’re interested in checking it out it would mean a lot to me❤️✨
Insecurity is personal, not societal.
That's cool, but that issue is not exclusive to women.
Cartoon Hanks yes it’s personal, but it can be (and mostly is) influenced by society
Gaby Wu focusing on health? I didn’t know that eating chips, muffins and ice cream while sitting at home on quarantine , and getting above normal body fat percentage because of big calorie surplus is healthy ...
I hate it when oat packages say like "wait 30 minutes" WELL I AM HUNGRY NOW😭
J Schanz some people on this earth are hungry all the time!!!! Be thankful you have food.
Tony Hernandez she didn’t mean it like that tho😭
Tony Hernandez and some people never get hungry like me lol
That’s when you just start doing overnight oats so you can eat right away.
Tony Hernandez dang, why do you have to make things tense when it was obviously a joke? Are you hangry?
This is the most positive comment section I have seen in awhile lmao
Idk if you're being sarcastic or no but ive seen a lot who said that she was obese and stuff while she is not! There's so much hate towards her that's so sad, like people should let her live :(
honestly I tought I was watching nick for a sec...
ily steph dont worry 💜
Right??? The last stephanie video I was on was nothing but people calling her obese and shitting on women who have gained some weight. I much prefer this beautiful comments section
15:06 "when I am hungry I eat and when I am full I stop." THIS. I want this, too.
I feel like I am the only one that has no proper fullness signals. I know I am not the only one, but no one from my friends or my family understand why i cannot stop eating when they would be full at that point. it feels very lonely
Anni You need to eat slower & drink water between bites.
Just be curious about why this is happening stop the judgment dont be curious in the sense of “oh you want more? *disguisted*” but in a sense of what you are feeling dont interrogate ur self just tap into how you are feeling after a while of doing this you will norice a pattern for me it was being worried about being restricted or missing out and im just currently working on reaffirming that that wont happen and i still do “overeat” but its not a bad thing and its a process we will go through to get where we want
Actually, eating until you are completely full, like almost bloated isnt great anyway. Dont get me wrong tho. I mean when you start feeling full, stop and dont eat until you cant even drink water. And for feeling full, i have a frd like you and she says she eats until she fets bored of it in a way. Its hard for her to feel full and also to feel really hungry. Maybe drink more water and eat slower?
@@jogignac-davies6090 i mean like when you sometimes eat your fav dessert and keep eating even tho ur already full and stuff. Of course this video şs nothing like that lmao
Sis..help me 🤕🙏
its nice to see a fitness influencer eating normally, they're all like "and for lunch i had a piece of gum and some water"
@@europeansocialdemocrat do you get joy and happiness taking the time out of your day to be nasty to others? Thoughts and love to you, I hope you manage to find happiness in yourself, so that you can mind your own business and keep out of other people's lives :) xx
@@europeansocialdemocrat people grow and change, their goals change. Look at powerlifters, they aren't shredded but they are still strong. She seems healthy and a lot happier these days
@@europeansocialdemocrat how old are you out of curiosity?
@@europeansocialdemocrat How is she overweight?
@@europeansocialdemocrat I think you're being incredibly narrow minded and missing the point.
For one thing, since when is mental health less important than physical health? What's the point looking the "epitome" of what society now deems healthy, if you're miserable mentally?
Regardless of Stephanie's weight (which btw, I wouldn't class her as being unhealthy) the message she is putting out there to young girls is incredible. That you can exercise and want to be healthy without needing to starve yourself or obsess over food. Since when do you need to be shredded to be a fitness influencer?
Before you comment nasty comments like this, ensure you are well researched and up to speed with why she is doing this. Yes she has gained weight, but this is part of her journey to re-balance her hormones after yearsssss of dieting and restricting food, and of course to restore a healthy relationship with food.
So it's funny how you're comparing her to how she used to look, implying she was THEN healthy and now she isn't. Since when is restricting food, damaging your hormonal profile and being an unhealthy BF % for a woman healthy? And on the flip side, eating when she's hungry, stopping when she's full and exercising to feel good about herself unhealthy?
She is far more relatable and putting out a far better message how she is now. Show me where it says in the fitness rulebook that you need to be shredded, please?
Before you comment on someone's video, think: 1) Do I really have the right to comment on this person's life, does it affect me? 2) how would I feel reading this?
your hair looks like it belongs in a shampoo commercial
I want to mention this as such a compliment.
When I was heavily into my ED, I often watched your videos. I think approaching a relationship with food with such a 'scientific' view can lead a lot of us further down the rabbit hole of our disordered food relationship.
When I made the commitment to myself, to no longer seek out diets and weight loss, and my 'perfect (extremely depressed) self', I stopped following all fitness, health, etc channels.
Coming back to this channel by recommendation of What Mia Did Next, I can honestly say that this content is by no way triggering for me now, so deep into recovery, and to publish such content is so so nice and kind to those of us who deal with EDs. I want to thank you for what you've done.
I have been watching you for a long time, and ever since you started the “all in” you have been giving off the happiest vibes Ive ever seen you give, and you seem genuinely happy 😊 congrats!
Totally agree she is glowing 😍
I love the All In Steph... she is definitely more engaging
Paola Pizá Martínez Nah she was looming chunky , good to see her slimming down cuz of her heightened metabolism tho
Yes that's the thruth 😊🤗
I love how she's warning us that she doesn't go full glam everyday in quarantine so we don't feel bad about ourselves ♥️
Haneen S I agree but I hate that people are so judgmental on here that even she felt like she had to justify fixing herself up for a day. Ya know? Cause people would come for her if she didn’t explain it and it’s so frustrating that people online are like that 😑

Steph, I know this isn’t your most recent upload, but I just want to say thank you. I’ve been struggling with anorexia and bulimia for around four years now. I never thought I would be able to eat normally, become less food focused, to live a normal life and regain weight that I desperately needed to and not be ashamed of my body. I’ve been following your all in journey since day one, and I’ve been all in for around 6 months now. Thank you for using your platform in such a healthy and productive way. You are an inspiration to me, and I admire you so much. Seriously, I can not thank you enough
watching her workout with her mom is so heartwarming
i can’t even explain it but i feel like a hug from you would be so warm and comforting i might cry
This cracked me uppp
Same
I love how intuitive you are and how you actually enjoy eating. This is really inspiring as someone who's physically recovered from an ED but still not mentally recovered
Tip: mix the oats and the protein powder before adding water/milk. It's way easier to mix it all together that way!
As an eating disorder recovery coach, I want to THANK YOU so much for having inspired literally thousands of women (and men, I suppose!) to let go of restrictions and listen to the bodyyyyy!!!! It is so so so so important and your voice has been so necessary. Thank you for sharing your journey
You suppose? women man women

@@StephanieButtermore Hey Stephanie! I really find your videos to be helpful! I'm actually losing weight currently but have hit a plateau. I have lost 70 pounds till now and only need to lose 12 pounds more. My diet is only fruits and vegetables, no processed foods at all. Can you give any suggestions?
Khyati Sharma the last always takes a long time!!
@@isabel-qs6lf Yes, it feels so close yet so far! :(
Khyati Sharma you’ll get there!! And well done 🥳
your “that’s so good” reaction after food is always my favorite. love that that’s stayed with us through the years
Wow Stephanie ! I'm so happy and proud of you! I'm currently in ED recovery and this really gave me the motivation to push through and gain the last few kilos no matter how my body will look like in the end. I try to remember everyday that beauty is nothing without health and that helps to motivate me to recover and get over this phase. So thank you stephanie and keep doing what you're doing because it helps everyone struggling with body image and food fear.
Steph, I cannot ever thank you enough! I was in the verge of having an eating disorder with some body issues as well but then, I discovered you. I saw your all in video which was my first video of yours and completely got hooked! THANK YOU FOR SHOWING REAL BODY in this age of social media with all the influencers/models with their ideal body. I LOVE YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART💞
Bless you wish you healing and lots of love xx
Thank you for being honest about your journey. I had an eating disorder and heavy gym obsession over a year ago. I would cry at the thought of eating more than 1400 calories a day, I would panic if I was invited to a restaurant and probably cry at some point, and I HAD TO work out 2-3 times a day with intense lifting to avoid shame from eating. I may have LOOKED like what I thought I needed to, but I was so unhealthy of mind and body - all I did was sleep, to avoid the hunger pains and fatigue. Videos like yours let me know it's ok to NOT be a size that isn't natural for me. I still workout , but I have cut it back to support my mental health/disabilities and now I eat a normal/good amount for me.
Thank you again. This keeps me level headed.
Also, even though it is SO obvious, YOU LOOK AMAZING AND I LOVE YOUR MENTALITY ON LIFE.
Goddess Antheia,
Depending on your height, body type and metabolism, 1400 calories is hardly a starvation diet. Training three times a day, however, is extreme.
What’s so sad about the way these issues are being framed is that it’s leading to a false dichotomy. It’s as if one’s options are “starve and exercise compulsively” or “go all in and gain 40lbs.”
Buttermore never starved. Nor did she do excessive exercise. Part of the reason why I deem her influence so negative is the fact that she presents her former lifestyle as unhealthy when in fact it was the way she *psychologically* reacted to a healthy lifestyle. She was perfectly healthy physiologically. But she came undone psychologically, which is a very different issue.
These issues are being conflated.
Linda Shishan
I’m a 53 year-old man. I’ve been a full time personal trainer and gym owner for 15 years and have been deeply involved in fitness since about 1983. I eat about 1600-1800 calories a day. I walk about 4 miles a day and train with weights 4-5 times a week. I’m in perfect health, lean year round and do it all with great joy and vigor.
Your generation pathologizes everything from exercise, putting food on a scale and even putting yourself on a scale. That’s the real issue worthy of discussion. Why is this generation coming apart at the seams over things that other generations just do without much thought?
I have a whole clientele who eats minimally, walks daily, weighs themselves daily and are alive and well in their 80s and 90s.
Buttermore’s nutrition and exercise program was not extreme. Her issues are psychological bugaboos framed in scientific language.
Please refer me to videos where she regularly ate 800 calories a day.
@@vinoverita I understand that 1400 isn't starvation for someone less active. However it is still a deficit used to lose weight for MOST people AND with how much I worked out a day, my body only kept maybe 500 of those calories per day, compared to what I would burn.
I agree the world needs to be healthy and active. However the social media age has messed with our perception of what reality needs to be.
I felt extreme hunger, couldn't walk some days (after working out 3 times), and felt sick from starvation. I looked healthy, I was a healthy weight, but my mentality was not healthy. I haven't gained 40 pounds, however even if I did why would that be bad? So long as I am healthy.
Also, "your generation" has had issues acknowledging mental health and other social issues, hurting yourselves and others in the process. So I wouldn't take the silent suffering of your age group as a good thing.
Being obsessed with food/working out/calorie counting/a body type is NOT HEALTHY.
so while I understand your fears of weight gain and obesity, this is not the place to voice those concerns. As none of us are saying to be obese, eat junk food, and stop working out.
Goddess Antheia
Without social media people of your generation could weigh food, log it, weigh themselves and exercise without pathologizing the whole process. It’s social media that is making you guys sick. My high school friends who were my fellow fitness aficionados are still super lean and healthy. We never viewed the process as crazy making. It was and is challenging. But so is earning a living, being married, raising children, acquiring knowledge, etc. That’s a general principle applicable to all of life. Being fit is not exempted from it.
I don’t know how old you are, but I assure you that people ate far less in earlier generations. When I graduated high school in 1985 the average girl was about 10lbs heavier than Buttermore was in her lean years. I have photos of the gym in which I trained in the 80s which features people that look like they were of another species. It’s unbelievable how fat we are getting on account of bad ideas about what’s normal. Google film footage from the early 1920s. Look how much thinner everyone is. They would be awestruck at how much the fitness community eats and what we consider a starvation diet.
Hunger, (like thirst, fatigue, sexual desire, etc.) is not an emergency. It’s perfectly natural, tolerable and healthy cue within sound limits. As a species we probably lived with the sensation of hunger as people live today with the feeling of heat where air conditioning isn’t widespread. It’s not an emergency. It’s natural. Being a little hungry will not make you sick no sooner than being sexually desirous (without fulfilling said desire) will make you ill. Anyone who thinks otherwise will not be happy with the implications of such a view once they live out this false idea. We need not act on every impulse or bodily cue. In fact, if we want to live a successful life, we can’t on principle. And that goes for fitness.
Failure to come to grips with those facts of reality is what leads to the pathologizing tendency we see exemplified on this page. You younger folks are breaking yourselves on bad ideas and justificatory arguments. The result is that you have to feign contentment with less than ideal results, with bodies and habits that you’re really not proud of - and that’s sad.
I work in the field of fitness. Young women today have less good results than they did 30 years ago without even trying. And they are tying themselves up in mental knots in the interim. The whole online fitness scene is crazy making. Buttermore is the apotheosis of that craziness.
There is a better way.
Linda Shishan,
I’ve been a fitness aficionado since 1983. And I’ve been a personal trainer and gym owner for 15 years. That is, I actually make my living getting people fit, writing out diet plans. Hence, what I say isn’t based on hearsay or conjecture. Plus, I stay super lean, healthy and vibrant 12 months a year at the age of 53 all while eating about 1600-1800 daily calories.
Would you like me to believe you instead of the facts of my years of training, working as a professional in the field and my own results?
The central issue today is how we frame the process of fitness, how we frame the experience of hunger or temptation. If you frame them incorrectly, you’ll make yourself crazy. Hence, the false dichotomy we see today between anorexia and compulsions on the one hand, and going “all in” on the other.
There is a better way. But it requires a different philosophical frame.
You exercising with your mom is THE most adorable thing I've seen this quarantine.
Your journey has been such an inspiration, especially for those like myself who have struggled with over calculating everything you eat and dealing with the guilt. Thank you for sharing your journey!
Dude girl. I can't even tell you how cool it is to see that this is where you are with food! I followed you a few years ago for fitness and workout purposes. But then I realized I had been dealing with an eating disorder for years and I did exactly what you did with going all in (initially found out about that concept from Kayla Kotecki). Anyway, I stopped following all the fitness channels during that period for my mental health, and just stumbled across this video today randomly. I LOVE this content and LOVE that you've gone through this whole process! Consider me a subscriber again. :)
You already know all the benefits of living life without restriction now, but just want to say I'm two years into this. My body is back at it's set point, which for me just happens to be what I weighed in high school (however I still do not weigh myself unless I'm at the doctor). I literally eat whatever, whenever. I'm not afraid to drink my calories, eat sugar, eat fat, put as much sauce on my food as I fricken want... it's wild. I initially gained tons of weight but now I weigh like 20 pounds less than I did when I was stuck in a diet cycle, eating egg whites and dry tuna and then binging on donuts and pizza and feeling sick and tired all the time. The weight itself does not matter to me at all anymore, but it's just ridiculous that I used to try so hard to control my body and it was like nah, screw you. Anyway, it's just so freeing to feel happy and energized and NORMAL.
Anyone out there questioning whether this is worth it, IT IS EFFING WORTH IT to be on the same team as your body.
Katie i love this comment and the movement I feel is being created towards a truly positive direction 💕
WOOOWW so happy for you :”””) just curious. Are you vegan or vegetarian?
@@kathytr616 Good question! I am not. I was a vegetarian for years, and mostly vegan for a couple more years. I tried staying vegan during recovery, but it made it impossible to actually recover. Nowadays I do definitely eat vegan meals, but I also eat meat and dairy when I want to, when others cook for me, etc. I think ethically the vegan diet can be great, but it just doesn't mix well with eating disorders. There are still a lot of choices you can make to positively impact the environment/animals (if that's why you're interested in veganism) without completely removing foods from your diet!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and story!
Katie oh my goodness thank you so much for replying!!! I’ve been vegetarian/vegan for a few years and really want to be more open and listen to what my body needs. I am making a transition now. I definitely agree with you about how it encourages restrictive mentality and how animal ethics can extend to other areas of life not just diet. Thank you so much for sharing your story 💖:””)
I don't even have dumbells I use my piggy bank filled with pennies 😂
Alisha Bear 🤣🤣 love that!!
Great!! At least you found something to use instead of complaining that you don’t have dumbbells!! Good for you!!
Love you for that
That made my day. Awesome 😂
Felt like I didn't accomplish anything today, but I made some people laugh🤭 you guys are so nice
The most real youtuber ever ! Honestly, you're an inspiration Stephanie !
stephanie - i can’t even express how thankful i am to you in this moment. your channel has completely changed my opinions about and ability to effectuate body positivity/acceptance. i’ve hated myself forever and have struggled with an eating disorder for a large portion of my adolescence. you’re giving me the courage and perspective to begin the recovery process. thank you
Straight up, prioritizing abs at the beginning of your workout is honestly the best thing to do. She’s 100% right. And not like crunches or sit ups and stuff but actual core stability work. (Planks, bear holds, deadbugs, etc.)
Or modify a compound movement to be more core focused (hot take: zercher squats will strengthen your core more than any number of sit ups and crunches ever will).
Glad to see you’re doing well Steph
shelby sloan exact same thing with me
Zercher squats are my favorite!
What other compound movement could you modify? Stiff leg?
I'm not restricting myself anymore and I feel so happy !!😍
Same guuuuuuurl
I want to do that as well but I am having a hard time from all the guilt I feel, but always trying
That's great! But don'g go too all in, remember to still watch what you eat even in these hard times.
What about when you become fat as shit

Most ignorant comment I've read all day.
I love how you mentioned how body weight exercises feel harder now. I was inspired by you to quit diets and practice intuitive eating. After gaining weight, I found that body weight exercises have been harder!! So I really appreciate that you mentioned it!!
Wow I can’t believe it’s been 11 months already! You’ve been such an inspiration and a huge motivator for me in helping me recover and find peace with food ❤️ love ya Steph!
Stephanie - thank you for continuously reminding me that my body is enough. I have been watching your videos since you had around 50K and you just keep getting better! Love you girl!
Laughing cause I'm not the only one who washes their berries and stands by the sink to eat them HAHAHA
Justine Kwon same here 😀
So pround of you Stephanie! Love this content and your'e such a huge inspiration. Love that you decided to make a change and just keep things real..super rare to see in the industry these days ❤
Her working out with her mom is like the cutest thing ever 💕
When you made your mom exercised with you that made my heart so warm.❤️😭
She is so sweet.
I love the way your mindset changed your habits around food... You're finally eating like a "normal person" by having regular meals, eating when hungry and not avoiding desserts, sweets yet still eating very healthy. I LOVE YOU Steph and I adore for what you've been able to do.
i seriously love her. Her energy is everything.
You are the most wholesome UA-camd out there! I can’t believe it’s been 11 months now I’ve been following your process from the start and it’s amazing to see the growth you’ve achieved!! You are gorgeous and I hope you keep spreading your positivity to ppl! Love you❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love how you have redefined your relationship with food and eat intuitively -- I think we as women a lot of times feel like we can't eat as much or feel guilty if we eat more than other people. Love your journey!
hey, i only found your channel today and i’ve watched so many of your ‘all in’ videos already and i can honestly say you have pushed me further towards eating disorder recovery than 1 month of therapy has. thanks
Stephanie, I just want to let you know because of you, I was able to develop a really healthy relationship with food, my body and my mental health. I wasn’t in a good place when you first started this journey, and I’ve been following you since then. Thank you for being such an empowering person and a role model for anyone with an ED.
stephanie, you are honestly such an inspiration. showing us that fitness, having a LOVE for fitness, has nothing to do with having a specific physique.. role model to all, really truly, you should be so proud of yourself x
I love how you and your mom work out even though we only saw a little bit, but it just shows how genuine you are 🥺❤️.
Girl you glow! Your positivity, bright persona, and blatant realism is so refreshing. You're such an inspiration, and a beautiful person inside and out. Thank you for your videos and for sharing your perspective on life with us!
I'm glad to see how you have improved since going all in!
You are such a happy, kind and beautiful person Stephanie! I’m so proud of you!!! ❤️
I watched this and genuinely smiled throughout the whole thing. Seeing you in a good mental space made me really proud and happy for you. Thank you for being so authentic. You're an absolute sweetheart and your videos bring me joy.
I just got your home guide and am so excited to start exercising again after being in ED recovery for the past three years. Thank you so much for creating the guide and sharing your All In journey with us! You truly are an inspiration! ❤
I can't tell you how refreshing and wonderful it is to see your transparency throughout this process. You are gorgeous as ever, inside and out, and it radiates in these videos. Thank you!
i have been watching her videos long time ago and I really appreciate how she treats her mum, so heartwarming. LOVE you STEPH.
God I love me some Stephanie. She’s my favorite UA-camr. So authentic. I have no idea how anyone could hate on this girl ❤️❤️❤️
it’s so cute how she does the workout w her mom 🥺
youre looking amazing & you seem so happy! i love how authentic you're to your journey- so so refreshing to see
I love love love how much more genuinely happy she seems with herself now! She looks so happy and thriving and im in love!!
I couldn't get recovered from my eating disorder without mentioning YOU and all the positivism you spread on your All in videos, thank you so much💕
Genuinely the best person out there. You've CHANGED MY LIFE for the better, I LOVE YOU. Seeing your workout with your mom was so cute.
Thank you so much for this (: I am currently struggling through my eating disorder during quarantine and I really needed some motivation to get back on track with recovery. Hearing you speak about how happy you are with your current eating habits/energy levels it has made me realise how important it is to fuel our bodies otherwise we will never be able to live life to the max.
So grateful for you and your courage on your journey.
I’ve been on the same and I feel your words.. “the new feeling” of not always being hungry etc.
so amazing to hear and see someone else on the journey
thank you for everything on your channel Stephanie! your journey has been so inspirational and I hope you’re doing great❤️
Thank you so much for documenting this process online. I can't imagine how much hate you got from doing this. Thank you. This is so helpful and important. So much love.
I’m 16 and I’ve been on a weight loss journey ever since gr6. I’ve struggled with anorexia and bulimia growing up.. it’s been the hardest to find true balance. Now, I am recovered because I stumbled upon your channel😅You are my role model!You set such a great example on physical/ mental health, I feel motivated everyday to get stronger. My goal now is to feel happy and confident with myself, especially my body. I love watching your cheat day vids because it reminds me we all need to have a break sometimes! It’s so fun doing your workouts and watching your videos, thanks steph!😄❤️
I love how you treat your mom with such love and respect🌹♥️ a Mother’s Day themed video of some kind would be amazing:)
Your videos always make my day! Whenever I am down, I am able to watch your videos and always feel a bit more positive after. You've taught me how to listen to and love my body more unconditionally. Thank you
Hey girl,I was feeling guilty about everything I ate. I found you a few days ago and you've helped me so much to get back to normal. I eat everything I want and try not to think about it now. Thank you. I was so tired to think about food and health stuff all day.
Gülnihal _ well same though.. my metabolism is so down at the moment.. but i can’t eat normally.. i really hate this i just don’t wanna gain fat
Eating whatever you want and not thinking about it is a very bad idea just saying
@@prodlivewre you are right. But I'm talking about not feeling guilty because Ive ate one cookie or a piece of bread etc. I'm still controlling my portions and listening my body... thank you for reminding me tho
Gülnihal _ yeah that’s totally fair enough. I just don’t want people to start thinking they can eat absolutely anything without thinking. But a couple cookies every now and then or some bread it fine
Love the honestly and realism. Inspiring many ❣️
Even though we're in crazy times, it makes me so happy to see you doing well, working out, eating well, helping out your mom, etc. You're an awesome human being :D
CAN WE JUST TAKE A MINUTE TO APPRECIATE HOW GORGEOUS STEPH LOOKED WHEN SHE PUT CLIPS ON HER HAIR!!!
You're amazing and it's incredible that you have shared your entire journey with us!!!!
Stephanie! It makes me so happy to hear how happy you are. Thank you for sharing this with us!!
In my opinion, you are one of very few women on youtube whose videos are not about eating clean and healthy and getting shredded, but which give a realistic idea of how normal amounts of food can look like. I already liked your channel before, but I love it since you've started the all-in-process.
It’s amazing to see how far Steph has come, she’s seems to be so full of life & looking amazing 💜
I was just thinking that watching this video! She seems like a whole new person and so happy I love it!
i got ghosted 4 days ago by the person i was dating and it made me so incredibly sad, this video made me forget the deep sadness and loneliness, especially in quarantine, for a few minutes and just thanks i really needed that 😅✌🏻
K A.V happy for u
Sorry about that that sucks :/
Sorry about that 😔
yooo fuck them ! u a beauty & they’re jus spiritually unavailable. i know it’s painful though 🙏 sooo much love.
I know you didn't ask but, hang in there and try to remember who you are. Know your worth and be gentle to yourself.
That's life advice for anyone, any time. 🙏
Thank you Thank you!! I have been watching you for YEARS and I love this new version of you. You are so happy and healthy and reminding women everyday how important it is to love themselves. I'm grateful for you and everything you share. Thank you for being vulnerable. Sending you lots of love!
Iv'e watched you for the longest time, just wanted to say Im proud of you, I love this version of you and I think that you are glowing
You’ve helped me sooo much in my ED recovery and I know I’m not the only one! You are amazing girl, keep going, we love you!❤️
Let's show Stephanie buttermore how much we love her and please continue subscribing to her UA-cam channel btw are you keeping track of what you eat
I’ve been a fan of you for a long time, but I have to say, with every new video the more I love you. You are like a totally different person, you’re so freaking happy. Thanks so much for being brave Steph, you’re the best.
I get a lot of comfort from watching your videos, especially when I go back to my old negative approaches towards food intake.
I struggled a lot with anorexia andespecially in times like these, you only have more time to think and critique appearances, but this is one space that I know I can come to and take a different approach.
So thank you, Stephanie, you are genuinely and have been such a positive influence!
I also went all-in, & it’s the BEST thing I did!!! I love all your vids 🤩
Yes I love that you are so open about what you eat! It's hard especially during the quarantine to stay perfect but flexible eating is the way to go! Almost I don't eat very early and I don't get too hungry until noon which is great when trying to not over eat often. But naturally I just eat a balance of good meals!
I love your all in project! I was starting to go down the same path you’re coming from... to see someone actually accept themselves (and their own personal health) after being the “fitness” type we all expect to see is very encouraging to me. Thank you for your honesty and courage!!
Hi Stephanie. I wanted to say you are an inspiration. I’ve watched your videos for a couple years and back in December I finally went to treatment for anorexia nervosa. Watching your “all in” videos have helped me notice that I needed to let go of that old girl I used to know. Of course therapy, groups and just being by myself have helped; but you just speaking the truth and showing me and everyone else your journey is just so amazing.
I have been slowly losing interest in some youtubers I enjoy following, I’m not sure why. Quarantine has been amping up the mood swings. However not you Steph! I wish you posted more lol! Your quality content never fails to entertain and educate me! Going to enjoy this video now. Stay safe! Love & peace to you. ❤️
Your videos are so refreshing for my ED recovery!💜
Thank you. 🥰
Omg I love the intro.... keeping it real! I’m obsessed already and this is the first video I’ve ever seen of yours
Hi Stephanie, I'm french and I follow you since your beginning in your all in process. I really wanted to congratulate you because this is absolutely not an easy thing to deal with but you always show us the reality and try to keep smiling every time by pulling the positive side of everything, every little step or even back step. You are authentic and it is what we all like I guess. Again, thank you so much for the positivity you spread us and the acceptance you are trying to share with us. You r so beautiful and the most important is that now you feel good! You helped us at the same time. We don't give up, stay tuned!
