I know you're some kind of fitness professional or something. I think I heard you say that. You show your biceps often, and sometimes, even your... cleavage. But can you show your abs? Abs is really the only way to tell if someone is fit or not. I've seen far too many people whose abs are not fit, but claim that they are fit (they are not).
@@michaelsong5555 I don’t know where you got that idea from, but there are plenty of people who are fit and don’t have abs. To get abs it’s more about calorie restrictions vs muscle building and physical exercise, especially for women.
Hi, Michelle! I really love your videos and your personality :). They keep me on my weight loss track (from 100kg to 83kg, and still going) and also serve as a distraction when I just randomly want to binge. I recently stumbled upon this video, which is a guy commenting on the body positivity trend in a really funny way, and most of his points align with yours! Though the doctor part is taken a bit out of context, I think you might enjoy this and have a good laugh (or maybe even react to it!). (Sorry if this is the wrong place to post but I really want to share this with you) ua-cam.com/video/HumNxOQ8JHA/v-deo.htmlsi=5Q44Y8o2i1WWFP5b
I once had to be discreetly removed from a ride at a theme park, because I couldn’t fit. In the U.K. it’s rarely done and to be fair to the staff they did a great job making it subtle and had no embarrassment leaving so I appreciated that. I did feel bad for my partner because I missed out on an experience with her on a brand new ride. Since then I lost 5 stone (70lbs) and went back and not only did I fit in the ride again, but my partner and I were sitting comfortably on all of them. It was a great and confident time. Honestly losing weight was the best decision just to improve my quality of life such as on occasions like these.
there's something to be said for the park staff handling that situation the way they did -- with someone less stable, if embarrassed too much they might dig their heels in and gain even more weight out of self-pity or anger. I'm so happy to see you did the work and can enjoy the fruits of your labor with your loved ones!!
@@peachy_lili honestly they did an amazing job, they were slightly pushing down the safety bars to see if it will close and when it didn’t she just said “you don’t want to go on the ride? Because you can get off if you want?” she made it as though I changed my mind and it was very clever and made me think that whatever the theme park was paying her it weren’t enough. She also kept saying “So sorry” and I just said “it’s not your fault, thank you”. It was the look on my partners face, that look of embarrassment for me and disappointment that we couldn’t do it together that made me think “I never want to see that look again because of my choices”. I feel a lot better though, not just confidence. I rarely nap now, I can control my binge eating a lot more, I don’t have a chronic back injury anymore from weight loss and correct lifting techniques from the gym. It’s just not worth hating myself anymore when the world can do that for me 😆.
Michelle, your last disney video saved me from a horrible day when I received horrible news. It may sound silly, but you are truly a moment of happiness in my everyday life. Thank you for your work❤
I love her work too! She’s so real and funny 😆 I have a short on my channel called “UA-camrs I love and why I love them” and it features Michelle and Cinnamon Toast Ken ❤❤
Pretty typical of a certain breed of misogynist dude. There's plenty of men in the world who weirdly think it's fine for guys to be fat but think women have an inherent obligation not to be.
Honestly the park hoppers are just going around, enjoying themselves, and telling other people "So I didn't fit into this ride at this park" so that other people don't make the experience of standing in line only to have to walk of shame their way out of there. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that! Good for them. And thank you for your advice where you said that you shouldn't cut out all the food you like (even though it might be a good idea to cut out certain food that triggers binges). It's delusional to think you can just go from 100 to zero and not eat anything you usually eat. Thats just not sustainable and what causes peolle to give up.
Exactly! I feel like a lot of people only look at weight loss in the short run, and don’t account for the fact that your choices have to be *sustainable* to KEEP the weight off and feel good
Yeah they really should be a sports bar with men and not children. If I was a man I would not trust someone who is an adult and doesn't do adult things. This just gives me Michael Jackson vibes...like why do they want to be at Disney so much?
seriously! I lost about 30 pounds (then regained back 10 when I had to stop biking to work, for a total net loss of 20 pounds but yanno what, it landed me in a healthy weight range, so I am trying to choose not to care), and it never worked for me to try to do every little thing all at once. I started by putting a single tomato slice into my morning breakfast sandwich. This helped me begin to eat more vegetables (or savory fruit, if we are going to get technical.) Then, I realized the tomatoes were going bad since I wasn't eating enough, so I started adding them to my beans and rice mixtures as well. From there, my vegetable intake kinda snowballed. Then I realized I lived close enough to work to bike, so I started biking the 3 miles to work every day. I also started eating 1 less cookie a day while also keeping less cookies in the house, as they were a binge trigger food. Small changes over time just kinda snowballed. My coworkers were amazed and wanted to know my secret. When I told them how I did it, I would watch the hopeful looks on their faces crumble. No one wanted to start eating one less cookie a day, or start adding vegetables to their food, or park in the parking spot as far from the door as possible to get more steps in.... they just wanted to like, go keto or something.
No. They also show themselves eating an unholy amount of junk food which is what is available in these parks. The reality is that when obese people consistently post themselves eating a whole lot of junk food, people are going to talk and not positively.
@@Ozemp47 huh? one of those men was very obese and acting like the commentary doesn’t apply to his own self. it makes no sense to bully people for a trait you yourself possess
It can also cause other issues as well depending on how and how long you do it. Our bodies do react negatively to fasting and it can cause problems for your metabolism long term if you keep having fasting periods that are too long. When I had Ana I fasted after I had a "bad" eating day for years and it destroyed my metabolism and caused serious hormone imbalances. My doctor warned that those issue can happen to anyone who does fasting incorrectly. And even now in recovery they highly discourage me doing Intermediate Fasting in any style that deeper than 16:8 because of the damage it can cause.
@@theespartanff3188that’s not the problem because people who are naturally at a normal weight don’t have to discipline themselves. Obesity is an issue of having unhealthy habits or incapability to emotionally regulate without external stimulation. Discipline isn’t going to fix that because you can’t be disciplined 24/7.
When i was about 13 years old i used to weigh 205lbs, i was the typical happy fat kid who was oblivious about my own weight, so at 15 i was going to high school and i had the courage to ask the girl i had a crush on out, she looked at me and said "no way you're disgusting" that hurt me a LOT i was pretty depressed and my dad noticed and asked me what was wrong and when i told him him he simply said "go lose some weight then" and i know some people might say that was bad parenting but my parents decided to take me to a nutritionist where i lost 50lbs in a year by eating healthy with moderate exercise. i bring this up because if i had the type of parents that would have said "honey you're perfect the way you are" i would weigh 400lbs by now so while i do not promote bullying sometimes it helps or at least in my case.
You explained exactly what's wrong with society. Authority figures more interested in your feelings than your well being. Your dad offered you a choice that your crush didn't.
@@fakshen1973 there's a really happy medium where we can be firm but kind. I liked it when another commenter said they were a smoker, went in to the doctor with a cough and when the doc asked if he smoked and he said yes, the doctor closed the clipboard and said "well what do you want me to do about it?" they said at the time it felt harsh, but it's not like the doctor laughed in his face, he just was realistic with him. that's what you need from someone when your life is in danger tbh
Its a little weird that your dad wouldn't have stopped you before you became 200lbs as a child. Parents are the ones feeding kids so its actually his responsibility at that moment in life to teach you. Weird to wait until you have to lose a bunch of weight but I guess good that they took you to someone who could help you
@@Jess-Rabbit yeah my parents were always busy working (not using it as an excuse) and i guess since i was always a happy kid they never thought anything of it but as soon as they saw how upset i was they immediately took me to a nutritionist. ive learned as i got older and got my own kids that being a parent doesn’t come with a manual and you learn as you go and im so grateful to my parents for taking responsibility and for taking me to a specialist.
@@fakshen1973 exactly, my dad quite literally saved my life and of course so did my mom because she was the one that started making healthier foods for me to eat i probably wouldn't have done it by myself.
It's hard to escape food. It's part of every plan: Girls night, date night, staff meeting, day with the folks. It's nice to see trip videos that don't focus on the food so much.
Yes! Small changes over time builds the castle. Every lower calorie pick, every hour in the gym, brick by boring brick, does the trick. It a very human thing to want the fat to come off overnight but the simple truth is it can't. We didn't put it on overnight, so we shouldn't expect it to come off overnight.
We're also mostly the descendants of folks that survived off of next to nothing. We're wired to work hard and live off little, but now we mostly sit and eat the most calorie dense food ever.
Over the course of decades of dieting on and off, making the small gradual changes are what worked best for me. I tended to actually stick with those changes. I also went with the rule of thumb for how long it took me to gain the weight, it'll take that long to lose it. Granted I'm losing quicker than putting it on, but it does help my head with adjusting the perspective.
Like you pointed out, the lady went from eating 2000 calories for one meal to having that for the entire day. She deserves some grace in finding whats going to work for her. Hopefully she sticks with it and as she sees positive changes she will make better earing choices. I'm on a mission to lose weight as well, if i would have stopped everything cold turkeu i would have given up. Im striving for a lifestyle change not a fad diet. Moderation and portion control.
Yeah, didn't even get to reduction in my first step. I just added vegetables and healthy oils and protein. Reduction was step three or four and by then the healthy stuff had more or less drownedout the worst stuff
@@BOUJEEBOGANBADBITCHQUEENStop spreading misinformation. 1000 or 1200 calories a day is absolutely unhealthy. Not even children eat that little. That is not enough calories to sustain an adult, especially because your body burns more than 1000 calories a day from you doing nothing. If Australians only eat 1000 calories per day, y'all are either very short, or very underweight, which isn't a flex and is an unhealthy method of losing weight.
@amypetty5013 That's unfortunate. It's like Smith or Tanner, then. Tutcher : from Middle English toucher ‘assayer of metal; toucher (used both literally and figuratively)’
I went from 219lbs to 140lbs after years of eating and drinking whatever I liked. The food was generally healthy, but my portion sizes were insane. Instead of starving myself, I reduced portions and built up a sensible routine of exercise, starting with walking and as I got stronger and smaller, I increased the intensity. It’s been 10 years, and I’ve managed to keep the weight off. Slow and steady wins the race.
@@crispyyrosee 🤣 this whole video I wanted to say where is ‘Barbie you’ but she made a brief cameo after being mentioned @ 14:10 So, I felt vindicated and relieved… ah sweet delicious creativity and millennial relatable content. Far too much humor is wasted on the youth, they just can’t seem to grasp it. 🫲
I went to college with one of the plus sized park hoppers and they all came into the restaurant i work at a few weeks ago. They are all so kind and friendly! Makes me sad to see them getting so much hate. Was a little worried when i saw their faces in the thumbnail but glad your comments were positive
Ive gone from over 300 pounds to 130. People ask me how. I made SMALL TINY CHANGES... and BUILT FROM THERE. How I eat NOW is so very different from how I ate ten years ago. But it didnt happen in a day, a week, or a month, or even a year. I set 5 pound goals. 5 pounds is easy to lose. 200 is NOT. I hate the negative comments that woman is getting. It literally hurts my heart.
I've been struggling with binging since I was a child, and your videos have really helped me. the advice that you sprinkle into them has helped me keep it under control at times, though it's still a journey. I've lost a ton of weight, but more importantly, I feel better physically and mentally, and I thank you for that
The same after years of doing it I invested in therapy, a dietician learnt about nutrition (I have had 2 spine surgeries and knee surgery and have difficulty walking) and all the weight was not good for my body I've lost 35 pounds so far I've started in April and I have 70 pounds to loose but I will do it slowly but surely
Bruh I love that you pointed out the undue hate towards “Disney adults.” Like heaven forbid people actually enjoy things beyond the age of 16 😂 also who do they think can even afford Disney? Families are priced out now lol
I'd say there's two categories. Adults who like Disney, they're the people who enjoy the parks and all. Then there's the Disney Adults who get kinda weird about it. I've known both types. The former are pretty chill, the latter are kinda obsessive.
@@MSinistrari I believe in the Disney adult scale as designed by Kurtis Conner. most people fit into the more reasonable higher tiers -- just like the park, go maybe once every few years, own a pair of Minnie ears, that's about it. the people who make it their entire personality are insufferable purely because the kind of person who would make consumerism their entire existence.. are not really leaving much room for an actual personality with all the STUFF they buy and consume.
@@peachy_liliI know. I’ve had someone say adults who build legos should be arrested. Arrested for what? Having fun? People are weird and too obsessed with what other people do with their time.
The first and only time I went to Disneyland was when I was an adult. Because when you go to Disney with a kid, they can't pay for anything. At least when I went to Disney Land with my father, we both can flip the bill. I also feel like as an adult or late teens, you can appreciate Disneyland more. I swear, I only have super blurry memories of travelling when I was a kid. But that Disneyland trip, I can remember all the special moments.
I think the park girl group thing is actually a good idea; knowing what rides you can actually get on can be very helpful mainly because it helps everybody be safe. And it also brings awareness to the fact that weight really affects your access to certain things.That obese guy is just making fun of them because he can't cope with women not appealing to him when no women would want to appeal to him in the first place
Why do y'all always jump there? You don't know anything about that guy except that he made fun of them. He might have a wife or even be gay, but no, you had to insult him because you felt some type of way? I get where he's coming from, though. Only women get away with this stuff. I've never seen men act like this; they usually get each other to either lose weight or they don't let each other whine about it. I didn't see anyone taking up for Boogie2988 when he gained his weight back after surgery or when he listed all of his obesity-related diseases. No, the men let him have it. There was no sympathy.
@@piranhapoutyoure talking complete mince. Where in their original videos were they whining about their weight? Youre projecting, they were making a vlog about going to Disney and these guys came out of left field tearing into them.
That park girl, who demanded an apology, looks really cute. All those park girls aren't harming anybody with their content, and by the looks of things, those men, who "criticized" them, look like they could benefit from that content if they ever go to Disneyland. So it's hilarious that they had things to say about the girls.
These people are the delusional ones, 2000cals is a perfect deficit for someone who is obese, and she had a nice balance of fun food and healthy food, she's doing a good job.
Totally agreed! Most people need to eat 1800-2500 calories a day to maintain a healthy weight. When you’re a few hundred pounds overweight, you’re eating 4-5,000 calories a day or more. If she sticks to under 2,000 calories a day she’ll lose weight and eventually be able to maintain it without eating any less (though of course the actual foods she’s eating could be better, but that comes with time I think for a lot of people)
I 100% agree with making small changes. My highest weight was 104kg and when I decided to make changes I told myself to workout 10 minutes a day and now I work out 5 days a week minimum 30 min ( I lift, occasionally run, and do cardio) and as of today I weigh 89kg
I originally found you when your channel was called “My thoughts will probably offend you.” That’s what I’m here for… Michelle’s thoughts! Whether they’re through big Michelle or little Michelle, I love hearing them!
I have PCOS and hypothyroidism. This year, I went from 249 to 180 in six months :) Being obese is nothing to take lightly, after seeing the changes both physically and mentally losing weight has caused, it’s woken me up to how important these ladies should be thinking about their health in terms of obesity and its side effects, as well as future health implications they may experience if they do not change!
I think that one young lady is doing great! One small step at a time. At 36, i was finally diagnosed with pcos and a borderline thyroid. I used to starve myself when I was younger, it wasnt helpful, and I tried every diet on the planet. Now, after 15 years of being a slightly chubby vegetarian/pescatarian, I'm slowly going back to meat for health reasons. Everyone is brave behind the keyboard, and please, everyone, don't let some big fat jerk with a microphone get you down :)
@msilverwoods I'm not going to lie, it was really hard - especially because I lived on my own for a long time, I wasn't really around it - then my boyfriend and I moved in together, and he is a type one diabetic, and needs a lot of protein. Then I slowly started on collagen powder, one tbsp a week, then slowly up to one a day - did that for about a year, then slowly started actively eating more fish, eventually once a week. Then a couple of table spoons of broth, then a bite of chicken, and now I'm on about half a chicken breast 2-3 times a week. My joints and skin were really bad, and if I go lower carb for the thyroid and ovaries, it just won't be enough food, especially because as much as I like dairy, it goes not like me. I wish you the very best of luck, take good care of yourself 🥰
@@msilverwoods The rotisserie chickens from WalMart along w/Kraft's Sweet & Spicy BBQ helped me. I was a vegetarian for a long time & I was just fine, but then I developed anemia. Now that I have meat (in small portion) back in my diet, I'm no longer anemic.
Thank you for being so open-minded and praising the small steps! I’m 62, autistic and very low vision, and went from 276 to 181 over about 16 months. I did this by ADDING healthy habits - starting a large permaculture garden for exercise and sun and fresh air and home-grown food, balancing my day instead of sitting around on my self-pitying butt, foraging in the woods, meditation to lower stress, and most importantly, cooking almost 100% of my food from scratch rather than eating out. I’m keeping the weight off, although I have COVID currently and can’t do sh*t right now! Thanks for your channel, it makes me so proud of the changes I’ve made and motivates me to make many more!
I love the more "we brought lunch and explored!" Disney/travel vlogs as it helps me get an idea of what to do instead of eating if I ever go to those places! If you like making those kinds of videos then PLEASE keep doing it!
0:55 I thought you were going to tell us to put that finger down our throats!! IM SORRY THAT WAS SO FUNNY. Not anorexia, just the build up of the sentence.
If only all that cardio in those parks would balance out the amounts of food they eat. I rarely get to go to Disney and barely eat anything there, my money is spent on merch.
I mean, exercise never does. That's very specifically why we have the mantra "weight is lost in the kitchen." This goes for ANYONE - you'd have to do an insane amount of cardio work to cancel out a significant number of calories. You also have to realize that "all that" cardio is literally nothing more than just wallking-as-transportation. It's not exercise.
Exercise doesn't make you lose weight. At best it makes your body better at burning fat/not getting fat again over all. It's a stabiliser/small passive bonus not something you can rely on for significant weight loss
Yeah, most of us don't get to go to Disney that often, especially those of us who don't live in either California or Florida. But you better believe that the few times I've gone, I've enjoyed the food. It's not somehow better to spend it on merch.
@@lulululu28383 Exactly. Not to say it doesn't help, but it's not the key. Unless and until you get to the point where you're doing running or biking at high intensity levels several times a week, the strongest utility of cardio is for *boosting* your efforts at calorie reduction.
Yeee! The plus size park hoppers are pretty much harmless, those bros with microphones should be embarrassed for acting like tweens on a twitch stream, keep calling them out on their bad behavior. As for Ailene, slow and steady gurl! And mini Michelle, yas! Love your creative flow, stay fun 😂😂 the censored feet!!
I usually don't comment on videos, but I love what you said about small changes. When you set realistic goal and achieve them, you have a much better success rate. Thank you for all you do for this community.
I like your doll segments since you do get creative with them and as a fellow cosplayer I know that struggle of "I want to do photos video of this outfit but weeeeeh that is 2 hours of make up and my pores are gonna hate me" so I dont blame you for not wanting to do that for a single video.
Making small changes is the way to go. Slow and steady wins the race. I lost over 20lbs very slowly in about a year and have kept it all off for 2 years now. My small changes have morphed into lifestyle changes and that’s the only way you won’t feel like you are depriving yourself. I saw someone mention “eat what you want and add what you need” and that’s really been key for me. Say I really want some pizza but don’t want to go crazy and eat the 6 slices I would normally consume… instead I’ll take 2 and add a salad and a side of veggies. These people telling this woman to just cut out everything and laughing at her for eating Panda Express are just awful. She stayed in a calorie deficit and I’m assuming isn’t feeling deprived. She’s much more likely to lose weight and keep it off by doing it this way. Good for her! And good for you Michelle for always being so realistic and uplifting in your videos!
michelle!! i don’t understand why people are complaining about mini michelle. it’s such a funny and cool concept. most of the time i play your videos like a podcast while im cooking, in the shower, or getting ready- so both styles work for me!! love you girl. ❤️
The plus size park hoppers are very helpful, I’m trying to lose weight(50 pounds down so far) but I’m still fat and will be for awhile. If I ever want to take a trip to an amusement park it’s so nice to have resources like that so I know not to waste my money on places that I may not fit!
hey michelle, i’ve been watching your content for the past year and i’ve lost around 40lbs now. feeling better than ever. thank you for giving your honest but respectful commentary. ❤
Idk why this popped into my head but it seemed worth sharing: the addition of Mini Michelle opens up a few fun creepy doll content possibilities for October/Halloween 🎃 Just need to find or put together a barbie-sized Chucky or Annabelle costume
9:57 this sounds like what people used to say about the "hot chick diet," which is just diet coke and cigarettes (and also an ED). 5It also causes all sorts of illnesses.
As if Disney would allow Park Guests to find free food of any kind. If they were gonna allow dumpster diving, there'd be a entry fee. They can do whatever they want, but I do encourage them to eat healthier, eat cheaper, and get in shape. I know that's tough, but I'm quitting smoking, so I don't want to hear it.
to be fair to disney i love that they still allow you to bring in outside food/drinks, most amusement parks don't anymore. it makes it easier to afford and also avoid unnecessary snacking
I would 100% be interested in a calorie-friendly vacation vlog. As much as it's fun to see people eat crazy meals on vacation, I'd like to see how to enjoy and eat on vacation without binge eating.
I’m in decent shape . I hike , I’m active . Walking all day is no big thing . Just got back from a Disneyland trip and noticed my knee having trouble while I was there. We walked from our hotel to the park. No shuttles . The cobble stone at Disney could be the problem yes, but my normal stride changed!! I was waddling anytime I was waking within groups moving towards rides or parades!! I felt it in my hips. Not going to lie that the food stopped looking good when so many around me were so large and eating large quantities . Not “phobic “ just have zero desire to carry an extra 150lbs everywhere I go especially the happiest place on earth !
I know you most likely won't see this but I have to say thank you! Seeing your attitude and advice towards this kinda content really made me think about my own personal choices in my day to day life! I've started losing weight and your videos are so entertaining!
That first comment you reacted to, that you said you hoped was satire. That was how my brain worked (minus the Cig) when I was suffering from Ana & 🤮. I really really do hope that person was going for Satire, otherwise they may need some therapy (which is what helps me not relapse.)
I love the Dr Strange "Dormamu I'm here to bargain" tactic with yourself. All I did was make small changes like not drinking soda or junk as often, lowering my portions, drink more water, etc; haven't even started exercising regularly yet. I've lost 30 pounds so far. Also I'm older with medical issues. So it is possible.
The formula you've created is perfect, don't let outside voices cloud your creative gut instincts. Your theatrical finesse, artistic variety, and cinematography skills are spectacular.
Michelle, 2 things! First thank you for putting weight loss and food addiction in such a realistic light. So refreshing! Second, I saw the preview for the new Wicked movie and when the actress playing Elphaba turned to face the camera, I got excited for a moment thinking you had landed the perfect role! I know you’ve worn the same costume and makeup before!!! Love you, girl!
Thank you Michelle for speaking to the importance of making small changes over time! It is frustrating and disappointing to see people push for one extreme over another. Lifestyle changes have to take time to last!! Thank you for saying it out loud, girl!
Michelle I LOVE YOUR ADVICE AND YOU. The idea of of taking small steps is what has helped me excel the last several years and now I have a healthier sustainable approach to my health and weight and have eliminated a lot of disordered eating….so I’m happier. 😊 Been watching you for years and always share you with people.
Nothing pleases me more than seeing roly-poly dumpling men who are “tough” and “edgy” immediately tuck their tail to run when called out so thoroughly. Well done ladies
Thank you for addressing the comments about how she wasn’t doing every single step when she started to change her diet. When I first decided I needed to change my diet because of my PCOS, all of the different changes were overwhelming and it made me put it off. Until I realized I could change little by little, so when I tried again, I started choosing just one thing to change about my diet from the list and stick with that for a while until it became normal and I went and chose another option. I still haven’t changed everything, but I’m better now than if I would’ve tried to change every single thing and follow every single rule all at the same time.
Union! Union! Mini Michelle needs to get paid and also have a spa day and vacation day at Disney!! Also, I like the Disney vlogs, please add more because I've never been there yet and someday when I finally get to go I want to be able to make a conscientious decision, especially on what tastes good and what isn't worth the money. Your vlogs are really helpful for that.
thank you sm for what you do, I'm in recovery from drug addiction and even though its a different substance your videos remind me to take it one step at a time ❤
The crazy thing is that if they just did portion control, they would lose mad weight. As a guy who also goes to theme parks quite often, the calorie burn is crazy. The 5 to 10 mile walks, climbing stairs, dragging your belongings everywhere. If they went that route, yeah, they might lose the fat acceptance group, But the fitness groups in park sponsorships would flock to them.
Oh wow interesting point. Even if some did that in the group and not all they could show how they support the friend. It woukd be an interesting progression. Michelle's thoughts?
As someone who has lost 40lbs, small steps are the way to go. I once tried to lose weight by eating a bowl of couscous a day and failed miserably and blamed my lack of willpower. Then I made small changes to my diet and have managed to maintain keeping the weight off - even if I have a "bad week", my body goes back to my current weight because those small changes have become habits.
I think it’s really nice to see vlogs where people aren’t just filling their day with food, it makes it seem like a very normal/achievable thing, especially for bingers (like myself), like when I’d go on holiday before my maintenance would go on holiday too but this year I managed to have very normal meals and could still have a few treats 😊
The park hoppers are genuinely very nice content creators who are definitely making a helpful service for overweight people. I do have a slight issue with their series called "if I fits, I sits" - which is them not checking if they fit in rides, but if they fit in Disney's restaurant chairs! They then proceed to always order huge amounts of food, no doubt contributing to their weight. If they skipped these sit down calorie fests and just did the rides, they would likely lose a lot of weight from the step counts at Disney (they're no joke!)
Right. I keep equating an exercise/wellness journey like riding a bike. If you pull that bike out from storage, whether it's been a few months or years, you aren't going to jump right on it and go on the Tour de France. You're going to do maintenance, maybe get some new parts, and take a test ride down the block.
I have somewhat of a food addiction and tend to binge on certain foods and I've managed to lose almost 30 pounds walking and being more mindful of my intake, avoiding cutting anything out to avoid feeling deprived. I cut everything out the first time I lost weight (ended up with ana) and it reversed to binging because my body was deprived. I think the woman's WIE was fine for starting out.
I love what you said about making tiny steps, bartering w/ yourself to make those small steps, and it really getting you to a big change in the end. I'm currently in that process, not w/ food but another bad habit, and I realized (and so have my family members) that the change in me over the past two years is night & day. Anyone who's struggling: small steps are a great way to go, rather than those crazy 'just don't eat, complement water w/ a cigarette' approach that the commenter had.
I’m really glad you responded to those comments about cutting out food and eating at restaurants and seasoning on food. Let’s bffr. It’s easier to get fast food when working full time and it’s about making one decision at a time. I am currently at one take out a week but sometimes I fall off after a stressful day. Sometimes successful diets start with just moderation.
I think when you post what you eat for people who do frequent Disney more than once a year, it is very refreshing for them. It shows that you don't have to only eat food from the park, you don't have to spend SO MUCH money, and you can make healthier choices while enjoying a fun filled day / vacation.

I know you're some kind of fitness professional or something. I think I heard you say that. You show your biceps often, and sometimes, even your... cleavage. But can you show your abs? Abs is really the only way to tell if someone is fit or not. I've seen far too many people whose abs are not fit, but claim that they are fit (they are not).
@@michaelsong5555 I don’t know where you got that idea from, but there are plenty of people who are fit and don’t have abs. To get abs it’s more about calorie restrictions vs muscle building and physical exercise, especially for women.
You vids have helps my motivation and I have lost 99 lbs. I’m working on that’s last pound but she’s a bz.

Hi, Michelle! I really love your videos and your personality :). They keep me on my weight loss track (from 100kg to 83kg, and still going) and also serve as a distraction when I just randomly want to binge.
I recently stumbled upon this video, which is a guy commenting on the body positivity trend in a really funny way, and most of his points align with yours! Though the doctor part is taken a bit out of context, I think you might enjoy this and have a good laugh (or maybe even react to it!). (Sorry if this is the wrong place to post but I really want to share this with you)

Instructions unclear. Strapped the girls down and also wore my tiniest bikini, and now my coworkers are confused and scared.
Welp, that' s funny. 😂😂🤣🤣
… did you get overzealous and strap down actual girls you work with? You might want to let them go… you kinda just committed a bunch of felonies.
thank you so much for this comment 🤣🤣🤣
😂
Honey, put on some villainous music, and lean in.
I once had to be discreetly removed from a ride at a theme park, because I couldn’t fit. In the U.K. it’s rarely done and to be fair to the staff they did a great job making it subtle and had no embarrassment leaving so I appreciated that. I did feel bad for my partner because I missed out on an experience with her on a brand new ride.
Since then I lost 5 stone (70lbs) and went back and not only did I fit in the ride again, but my partner and I were sitting comfortably on all of them. It was a great and confident time.
Honestly losing weight was the best decision just to improve my quality of life such as on occasions like these.
That makes me so happy to here ❤
there's something to be said for the park staff handling that situation the way they did -- with someone less stable, if embarrassed too much they might dig their heels in and gain even more weight out of self-pity or anger. I'm so happy to see you did the work and can enjoy the fruits of your labor with your loved ones!!
@@peachy_lili honestly they did an amazing job, they were slightly pushing down the safety bars to see if it will close and when it didn’t she just said “you don’t want to go on the ride? Because you can get off if you want?” she made it as though I changed my mind and it was very clever and made me think that whatever the theme park was paying her it weren’t enough. She also kept saying “So sorry” and I just said “it’s not your fault, thank you”. It was the look on my partners face, that look of embarrassment for me and disappointment that we couldn’t do it together that made me think “I never want to see that look again because of my choices”.
I feel a lot better though, not just confidence. I rarely nap now, I can control my binge eating a lot more, I don’t have a chronic back injury anymore from weight loss and correct lifting techniques from the gym. It’s just not worth hating myself anymore when the world can do that for me 😆.
I'm so freaking dumb I initially read this as you getting stuck in the ride and they had to discreetly get you out of the seat 😭
@@MeeYeeWeeWee 😆 oh no that would’ve been worse 😆
Michelle, your last disney video saved me from a horrible day when I received horrible news. It may sound silly, but you are truly a moment of happiness in my everyday life. Thank you for your work❤

Calling other people fat while you're ALSO fat is actually embarrassing 🤣
Yeah, it is.

Who better to identify a fatty than another fatty.
"fat on fat crime" XD
It’s like a hippo walks into a zoo and starts pointing at how fat the other animals are.
Imagine someone with no neck shaped like a melting ice cream cone making fun of anyone's weight 😂 the audacity 💀💀
Pretty typical of a certain breed of misogynist dude. There's plenty of men in the world who weirdly think it's fine for guys to be fat but think women have an inherent obligation not to be.
Not melting ice cream 😂😂😂
melting ice cream cone?! bro I need your creativity 😭😹
You know if m*n have nothing else, they're full of audacity
My ex did this shit all the time.... it's like what? Needless to say, he's still the same. Smfh
Honestly the park hoppers are just going around, enjoying themselves, and telling other people "So I didn't fit into this ride at this park" so that other people don't make the experience of standing in line only to have to walk of shame their way out of there. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that! Good for them.
And thank you for your advice where you said that you shouldn't cut out all the food you like (even though it might be a good idea to cut out certain food that triggers binges). It's delusional to think you can just go from 100 to zero and not eat anything you usually eat. Thats just not sustainable and what causes peolle to give up.
Exactly! I feel like a lot of people only look at weight loss in the short run, and don’t account for the fact that your choices have to be *sustainable* to KEEP the weight off and feel good
Yeah they really should be a sports bar with men and not children. If I was a man I would not trust someone who is an adult and doesn't do adult things.
This just gives me Michael Jackson vibes...like why do they want to be at Disney so much?
Yeah they really should be a sports bar with men and not children.
seriously! I lost about 30 pounds (then regained back 10 when I had to stop biking to work, for a total net loss of 20 pounds but yanno what, it landed me in a healthy weight range, so I am trying to choose not to care), and it never worked for me to try to do every little thing all at once.
I started by putting a single tomato slice into my morning breakfast sandwich. This helped me begin to eat more vegetables (or savory fruit, if we are going to get technical.) Then, I realized the tomatoes were going bad since I wasn't eating enough, so I started adding them to my beans and rice mixtures as well. From there, my vegetable intake kinda snowballed.
Then I realized I lived close enough to work to bike, so I started biking the 3 miles to work every day.
I also started eating 1 less cookie a day while also keeping less cookies in the house, as they were a binge trigger food.
Small changes over time just kinda snowballed. My coworkers were amazed and wanted to know my secret. When I told them how I did it, I would watch the hopeful looks on their faces crumble. No one wanted to start eating one less cookie a day, or start adding vegetables to their food, or park in the parking spot as far from the door as possible to get more steps in.... they just wanted to like, go keto or something.
No. They also show themselves eating an unholy amount of junk food which is what is available in these parks. The reality is that when obese people consistently post themselves eating a whole lot of junk food, people are going to talk and not positively.

@@Ozemp47 huh? one of those men was very obese and acting like the commentary doesn’t apply to his own self. it makes no sense to bully people for a trait you yourself possess
It will never be sincere.
When you're trying to lose weight cutting out all food is a good way to make you're food addiction worse because it's going to make you feel deprived.
It can also cause other issues as well depending on how and how long you do it. Our bodies do react negatively to fasting and it can cause problems for your metabolism long term if you keep having fasting periods that are too long.
When I had Ana I fasted after I had a "bad" eating day for years and it destroyed my metabolism and caused serious hormone imbalances. My doctor warned that those issue can happen to anyone who does fasting incorrectly. And even now in recovery they highly discourage me doing Intermediate Fasting in any style that deeper than 16:8 because of the damage it can cause.
Only if you dont have the discipline to be mindful of what you eat
Thats the problem in the first place, they lack discipline @invaderknive6158
Yeah, cutting out all food will make you feel so deprived, it’ll make you die.
@@theespartanff3188that’s not the problem because people who are naturally at a normal weight don’t have to discipline themselves. Obesity is an issue of having unhealthy habits or incapability to emotionally regulate without external stimulation. Discipline isn’t going to fix that because you can’t be disciplined 24/7.
When i was about 13 years old i used to weigh 205lbs, i was the typical happy fat kid who was oblivious about my own weight, so at 15 i was going to high school and i had the courage to ask the girl i had a crush on out, she looked at me and said "no way you're disgusting" that hurt me a LOT i was pretty depressed and my dad noticed and asked me what was wrong and when i told him him he simply said "go lose some weight then" and i know some people might say that was bad parenting but my parents decided to take me to a nutritionist where i lost 50lbs in a year by eating healthy with moderate exercise. i bring this up because if i had the type of parents that would have said "honey you're perfect the way you are" i would weigh 400lbs by now so while i do not promote bullying sometimes it helps or at least in my case.
You explained exactly what's wrong with society. Authority figures more interested in your feelings than your well being. Your dad offered you a choice that your crush didn't.
@@fakshen1973 there's a really happy medium where we can be firm but kind. I liked it when another commenter said they were a smoker, went in to the doctor with a cough and when the doc asked if he smoked and he said yes, the doctor closed the clipboard and said "well what do you want me to do about it?" they said at the time it felt harsh, but it's not like the doctor laughed in his face, he just was realistic with him. that's what you need from someone when your life is in danger tbh
Its a little weird that your dad wouldn't have stopped you before you became 200lbs as a child. Parents are the ones feeding kids so its actually his responsibility at that moment in life to teach you. Weird to wait until you have to lose a bunch of weight but I guess good that they took you to someone who could help you
@@Jess-Rabbit yeah my parents were always busy working (not using it as an excuse) and i guess since i was always a happy kid they never thought anything of it but as soon as they saw how upset i was they immediately took me to a nutritionist. ive learned as i got older and got my own kids that being a parent doesn’t come with a manual and you learn as you go and im so grateful to my parents for taking responsibility and for taking me to a specialist.
@@fakshen1973 exactly, my dad quite literally saved my life and of course so did my mom because she was the one that started making healthier foods for me to eat i probably wouldn't have done it by myself.
It's hard to escape food. It's part of every plan: Girls night, date night, staff meeting, day with the folks. It's nice to see trip videos that don't focus on the food so much.
So true!!
Yes! Small changes over time builds the castle. Every lower calorie pick, every hour in the gym, brick by boring brick, does the trick.
It a very human thing to want the fat to come off overnight but the simple truth is it can't. We didn't put it on overnight, so we shouldn't expect it to come off overnight.
EXACTLY
We're also mostly the descendants of folks that survived off of next to nothing. We're wired to work hard and live off little, but now we mostly sit and eat the most calorie dense food ever.
Over the course of decades of dieting on and off, making the small gradual changes are what worked best for me. I tended to actually stick with those changes. I also went with the rule of thumb for how long it took me to gain the weight, it'll take that long to lose it. Granted I'm losing quicker than putting it on, but it does help my head with adjusting the perspective.
ate this up i fear
honestly, thank you for this comment. its a helpful reminder that the little things add up.
Like you pointed out, the lady went from eating 2000 calories for one meal to having that for the entire day. She deserves some grace in finding whats going to work for her. Hopefully she sticks with it and as she sees positive changes she will make better earing choices. I'm on a mission to lose weight as well, if i would have stopped everything cold turkeu i would have given up. Im striving for a lifestyle change not a fad diet. Moderation and portion control.
Yeah, didn't even get to reduction in my first step. I just added vegetables and healthy oils and protein. Reduction was step three or four and by then the healthy stuff had more or less drownedout the worst stuff
@@i.b.640 good job! Taking smaller steps has made it much easier for me. I did it with my eating and workout plan.
Its to high for weight loss here in Australia it's 1000 to 1200 and you wonder why we have bigger success rates with weight loss then America does
@@melanieg760 Yeah it needs to be sustainable even in hard times, otherwise I just put it on again.
@@BOUJEEBOGANBADBITCHQUEENStop spreading misinformation. 1000 or 1200 calories a day is absolutely unhealthy. Not even children eat that little. That is not enough calories to sustain an adult, especially because your body burns more than 1000 calories a day from you doing nothing. If Australians only eat 1000 calories per day, y'all are either very short, or very underweight, which isn't a flex and is an unhealthy method of losing weight.
Making small changes over time isn’t glamorous, but it’s effective.
the older I get, the more joy I take in building on small changes.

I misheard Michelle saying "why would you want an apology from two men named Toucher and WOODY" instead of Toucher and Hardy and I lost my mind. 😂
I went from 219lbs to 140lbs after years of eating and drinking whatever I liked. The food was generally healthy, but my portion sizes were insane. Instead of starving myself, I reduced portions and built up a sensible routine of exercise, starting with walking and as I got stronger and smaller, I increased the intensity. It’s been 10 years, and I’ve managed to keep the weight off. Slow and steady wins the race.
YES! This is my approach too. I started at 210lbs and my goal is 140lbs too. 30lbs down so far!
For me it was about 290 to 205, then a long gap, then 205 to 140. Overall it took 5 years.

"Park-sized park hopper," what a wonderful Freudian slip
Park-sized pork-choppers!
I went to college with one of the plus sized park hoppers and they all came into the restaurant i work at a few weeks ago. They are all so kind and friendly! Makes me sad to see them getting so much hate. Was a little worried when i saw their faces in the thumbnail but glad your comments were positive
Ive gone from over 300 pounds to 130. People ask me how. I made SMALL TINY CHANGES... and BUILT FROM THERE. How I eat NOW is so very different from how I ate ten years ago. But it didnt happen in a day, a week, or a month, or even a year. I set 5 pound goals. 5 pounds is easy to lose. 200 is NOT. I hate the negative comments that woman is getting. It literally hurts my heart.
Congratulations 🎉
I've been struggling with binging since I was a child, and your videos have really helped me. the advice that you sprinkle into them has helped me keep it under control at times, though it's still a journey. I've lost a ton of weight, but more importantly, I feel better physically and mentally, and I thank you for that
The same after years of doing it I invested in therapy, a dietician learnt about nutrition (I have had 2 spine surgeries and knee surgery and have difficulty walking) and all the weight was not good for my body I've lost 35 pounds so far I've started in April and I have 70 pounds to loose but I will do it slowly but surely
Well done 👏 ✔️ 👍
Bruh I love that you pointed out the undue hate towards “Disney adults.” Like heaven forbid people actually enjoy things beyond the age of 16 😂 also who do they think can even afford Disney? Families are priced out now lol
I'd say there's two categories. Adults who like Disney, they're the people who enjoy the parks and all. Then there's the Disney Adults who get kinda weird about it. I've known both types. The former are pretty chill, the latter are kinda obsessive.
@@MSinistrari I believe in the Disney adult scale as designed by Kurtis Conner. most people fit into the more reasonable higher tiers -- just like the park, go maybe once every few years, own a pair of Minnie ears, that's about it. the people who make it their entire personality are insufferable purely because the kind of person who would make consumerism their entire existence.. are not really leaving much room for an actual personality with all the STUFF they buy and consume.
@@peachy_liliI know. I’ve had someone say adults who build legos should be arrested. Arrested for what? Having fun? People are weird and too obsessed with what other people do with their time.
We are total Disney adults so I appreciated that too! 😂
The first and only time I went to Disneyland was when I was an adult. Because when you go to Disney with a kid, they can't pay for anything. At least when I went to Disney Land with my father, we both can flip the bill. I also feel like as an adult or late teens, you can appreciate Disneyland more. I swear, I only have super blurry memories of travelling when I was a kid. But that Disneyland trip, I can remember all the special moments.
I think the park girl group thing is actually a good idea; knowing what rides you can actually get on can be very helpful mainly because it helps everybody be safe. And it also brings awareness to the fact that weight really affects your access to certain things.That obese guy is just making fun of them because he can't cope with women not appealing to him when no women would want to appeal to him in the first place
Why do y'all always jump there? You don't know anything about that guy except that he made fun of them. He might have a wife or even be gay, but no, you had to insult him because you felt some type of way?
I get where he's coming from, though. Only women get away with this stuff. I've never seen men act like this; they usually get each other to either lose weight or they don't let each other whine about it.
I didn't see anyone taking up for Boogie2988 when he gained his weight back after surgery or when he listed all of his obesity-related diseases.
No, the men let him have it. There was no sympathy.

That park girl, who demanded an apology, looks really cute. All those park girls aren't harming anybody with their content, and by the looks of things, those men, who "criticized" them, look like they could benefit from that content if they ever go to Disneyland. So it's hilarious that they had things to say about the girls.
These people are the delusional ones, 2000cals is a perfect deficit for someone who is obese, and she had a nice balance of fun food and healthy food, she's doing a good job.
Totally agreed! Most people need to eat 1800-2500 calories a day to maintain a healthy weight. When you’re a few hundred pounds overweight, you’re eating 4-5,000 calories a day or more. If she sticks to under 2,000 calories a day she’ll lose weight and eventually be able to maintain it without eating any less (though of course the actual foods she’s eating could be better, but that comes with time I think for a lot of people)
I 100% agree with making small changes. My highest weight was 104kg and when I decided to make changes I told myself to workout 10 minutes a day and now I work out 5 days a week minimum 30 min ( I lift, occasionally run, and do cardio) and as of today I weigh 89kg

Girl, yes 😂 but we love you anyway
I think that one young lady is doing great! One small step at a time. At 36, i was finally diagnosed with pcos and a borderline thyroid. I used to starve myself when I was younger, it wasnt helpful, and I tried every diet on the planet. Now, after 15 years of being a slightly chubby vegetarian/pescatarian, I'm slowly going back to meat for health reasons. Everyone is brave behind the keyboard, and please, everyone, don't let some big fat jerk with a microphone get you down :)
How did you start introducing meat? I think i need to as well (veggie to vegan back to veggie last 9 years) and honestly meat grosses me out now.
@msilverwoods I'm not going to lie, it was really hard - especially because I lived on my own for a long time, I wasn't really around it - then my boyfriend and I moved in together, and he is a type one diabetic, and needs a lot of protein. Then I slowly started on collagen powder, one tbsp a week, then slowly up to one a day - did that for about a year, then slowly started actively eating more fish, eventually once a week. Then a couple of table spoons of broth, then a bite of chicken, and now I'm on about half a chicken breast 2-3 times a week. My joints and skin were really bad, and if I go lower carb for the thyroid and ovaries, it just won't be enough food, especially because as much as I like dairy, it goes not like me. I wish you the very best of luck, take good care of yourself 🥰
@@msilverwoods The rotisserie chickens from WalMart along w/Kraft's Sweet & Spicy BBQ helped me. I was a vegetarian for a long time & I was just fine, but then I developed anemia. Now that I have meat (in small portion) back in my diet, I'm no longer anemic.
Thank you for being so open-minded and praising the small steps! I’m 62, autistic and very low vision, and went from 276 to 181 over about 16 months. I did this by ADDING healthy habits - starting a large permaculture garden for exercise and sun and fresh air and home-grown food, balancing my day instead of sitting around on my self-pitying butt, foraging in the woods, meditation to lower stress, and most importantly, cooking almost 100% of my food from scratch rather than eating out. I’m keeping the weight off, although I have COVID currently and can’t do sh*t right now! Thanks for your channel, it makes me so proud of the changes I’ve made and motivates me to make many more!
I love the more "we brought lunch and explored!" Disney/travel vlogs as it helps me get an idea of what to do instead of eating if I ever go to those places! If you like making those kinds of videos then PLEASE keep doing it!
It is now official. You are indeed a Disney villainess design they scrapped because they did not know better. Their loss. >_>

If only all that cardio in those parks would balance out the amounts of food they eat.
I rarely get to go to Disney and barely eat anything there, my money is spent on merch.
I mean, exercise never does. That's very specifically why we have the mantra "weight is lost in the kitchen." This goes for ANYONE - you'd have to do an insane amount of cardio work to cancel out a significant number of calories.
You also have to realize that "all that" cardio is literally nothing more than just wallking-as-transportation. It's not exercise.
Exercise doesn't make you lose weight. At best it makes your body better at burning fat/not getting fat again over all.
It's a stabiliser/small passive bonus not something you can rely on for significant weight loss
Yeah, most of us don't get to go to Disney that often, especially those of us who don't live in either California or Florida. But you better believe that the few times I've gone, I've enjoyed the food. It's not somehow better to spend it on merch.
@@lulululu28383 Exactly. Not to say it doesn't help, but it's not the key. Unless and until you get to the point where you're doing running or biking at high intensity levels several times a week, the strongest utility of cardio is for *boosting* your efforts at calorie reduction.
All the theme parks food is just too damn expensive.

Making small changes is the way to go. Slow and steady wins the race. I lost over 20lbs very slowly in about a year and have kept it all off for 2 years now. My small changes have morphed into lifestyle changes and that’s the only way you won’t feel like you are depriving yourself. I saw someone mention “eat what you want and add what you need” and that’s really been key for me. Say I really want some pizza but don’t want to go crazy and eat the 6 slices I would normally consume… instead I’ll take 2 and add a salad and a side of veggies. These people telling this woman to just cut out everything and laughing at her for eating Panda Express are just awful. She stayed in a calorie deficit and I’m assuming isn’t feeling deprived. She’s much more likely to lose weight and keep it off by doing it this way. Good for her! And good for you Michelle for always being so realistic and uplifting in your videos!
1:33 i can't😂😂: "park sized park hoppers" blooper hits hard
michelle!! i don’t understand why people are complaining about mini michelle. it’s such a funny and cool concept. most of the time i play your videos like a podcast while im cooking, in the shower, or getting ready- so both styles work for me!! love you girl. ❤️
14:00 had me lmao. I wasn't expecting the "cause your on this channel, that's why" 🤣🤣🤣
The plus size park hoppers are very helpful, I’m trying to lose weight(50 pounds down so far) but I’m still fat and will be for awhile. If I ever want to take a trip to an amusement park it’s so nice to have resources like that so I know not to waste my money on places that I may not fit!
Michelle's dolls are probably singing 🎵"Floop is a mad man help us save us! Floop is a mad man help us save us!"😂😂
hey michelle, i’ve been watching your content for the past year and i’ve lost around 40lbs now. feeling better than ever. thank you for giving your honest but respectful commentary. ❤
They way they went coward mode and shut everything down 😂
Idk why this popped into my head but it seemed worth sharing: the addition of Mini Michelle opens up a few fun creepy doll content possibilities for October/Halloween 🎃 Just need to find or put together a barbie-sized Chucky or Annabelle costume
9:57 this sounds like what people used to say about the "hot chick diet," which is just diet coke and cigarettes (and also an ED). 5It also causes all sorts of illnesses.
As if Disney would allow Park Guests to find free food of any kind. If they were gonna allow dumpster diving, there'd be a entry fee.
They can do whatever they want, but I do encourage them to eat healthier, eat cheaper, and get in shape. I know that's tough, but I'm quitting smoking, so I don't want to hear it.
to be fair to disney i love that they still allow you to bring in outside food/drinks, most amusement parks don't anymore. it makes it easier to afford and also avoid unnecessary snacking
I would 100% be interested in a calorie-friendly vacation vlog. As much as it's fun to see people eat crazy meals on vacation, I'd like to see how to enjoy and eat on vacation without binge eating.
I never ate out every day. It blows my mind to see how often my coworkers go out to eat
I’m in decent shape . I hike , I’m active . Walking all day is no big thing . Just got back from a Disneyland trip and noticed my knee having trouble while I was there. We walked from our hotel to the park. No shuttles . The cobble stone at Disney could be the problem yes, but my normal stride changed!! I was waddling anytime I was waking within groups moving towards rides or parades!! I felt it in my hips. Not going to lie that the food stopped looking good when so many around me were so large and eating large quantities . Not “phobic “ just have zero desire to carry an extra 150lbs everywhere I go especially the happiest place on earth !
I know you most likely won't see this but I have to say thank you! Seeing your attitude and advice towards this kinda content really made me think about my own personal choices in my day to day life! I've started losing weight and your videos are so entertaining!
the plus size park hoppers make me so happy, seeing them bullied like this is just unjust
Bro 10:40 where she read "Panda express calorie deficit style- whHOhoooHAHAh- delulu at its finest" KM DYING MICHELLE that was so funny girl
'Toucher' and 'Hardy' sounds like a name in plain view
They look like hardy touchers
That first comment you reacted to, that you said you hoped was satire. That was how my brain worked (minus the Cig) when I was suffering from Ana & 🤮. I really really do hope that person was going for Satire, otherwise they may need some therapy (which is what helps me not relapse.)
I love the Dr Strange "Dormamu I'm here to bargain" tactic with yourself. All I did was make small changes like not drinking soda or junk as often, lowering my portions, drink more water, etc; haven't even started exercising regularly yet. I've lost 30 pounds so far. Also I'm older with medical issues. So it is possible.
The formula you've created is perfect, don't let outside voices cloud your creative gut instincts. Your theatrical finesse, artistic variety, and cinematography skills are spectacular.
Michelle, 2 things! First thank you for putting weight loss and food addiction in such a realistic light. So refreshing!
Second, I saw the preview for the new Wicked movie and when the actress playing Elphaba turned to face the camera, I got excited for a moment thinking you had landed the perfect role! I know you’ve worn the same costume and makeup before!!! Love you, girl!
Thank you Michelle for speaking to the importance of making small changes over time! It is frustrating and disappointing to see people push for one extreme over another. Lifestyle changes have to take time to last!! Thank you for saying it out loud, girl!
Michelle I LOVE YOUR ADVICE AND YOU. The idea of of taking small steps is what has helped me excel the last several years and now I have a healthier sustainable approach to my health and weight and have eliminated a lot of disordered eating….so I’m happier. 😊
Been watching you for years and always share you with people.
Nothing pleases me more than seeing roly-poly dumpling men who are “tough” and “edgy” immediately tuck their tail to run when called out so thoroughly. Well done ladies
“Why are y’all so dramatic sometimes?”
“Cuz you’re on this channel that’s why”
😂yes ma’am!!! ❤️❤️❤️
ah, i was just looking for a video to listen to while folding laundry. thanks michelle
Who’s gonna be here for the war when the dolls started? #JusticeForMiniMichelle
Thank you for addressing the comments about how she wasn’t doing every single step when she started to change her diet. When I first decided I needed to change my diet because of my PCOS, all of the different changes were overwhelming and it made me put it off. Until I realized I could change little by little, so when I tried again, I started choosing just one thing to change about my diet from the list and stick with that for a while until it became normal and I went and chose another option. I still haven’t changed everything, but I’m better now than if I would’ve tried to change every single thing and follow every single rule all at the same time.
Nothing like the feeling of seeing a new Michelle video ❤
When you’ve been subscribed to Michelle FOREVER but you still feel guilty when she asks you to subscribe. 😅
Union! Union! Mini Michelle needs to get paid and also have a spa day and vacation day at Disney!! Also, I like the Disney vlogs, please add more because I've never been there yet and someday when I finally get to go I want to be able to make a conscientious decision, especially on what tastes good and what isn't worth the money. Your vlogs are really helpful for that.
thank you sm for what you do, I'm in recovery from drug addiction and even though its a different substance your videos remind me to take it one step at a time ❤
The crazy thing is that if they just did portion control, they would lose mad weight. As a guy who also goes to theme parks quite often, the calorie burn is crazy. The 5 to 10 mile walks, climbing stairs, dragging your belongings everywhere.
If they went that route, yeah, they might lose the fat acceptance group, But the fitness groups in park sponsorships would flock to them.
Oh wow interesting point. Even if some did that in the group and not all they could show how they support the friend. It woukd be an interesting progression. Michelle's thoughts?
If you are embarrassed and shamed don’t try to change others. Change yourself and those feelings will disappear.
I love your intro and outro music. Haven’t heard the “wake up, darling, I made your breakfast” outro in a while. Love your videos, Michelle❤
As someone who has lost 40lbs, small steps are the way to go. I once tried to lose weight by eating a bowl of couscous a day and failed miserably and blamed my lack of willpower. Then I made small changes to my diet and have managed to maintain keeping the weight off - even if I have a "bad week", my body goes back to my current weight because those small changes have become habits.
"shocked that it made it on air"
??
Does she know those morning radio shows are live?
I think it’s really nice to see vlogs where people aren’t just filling their day with food, it makes it seem like a very normal/achievable thing, especially for bingers (like myself), like when I’d go on holiday before my maintenance would go on holiday too but this year I managed to have very normal meals and could still have a few treats 😊
no way, ive been binge watching ur videos for days now and im actually so early to one!! score!
The park hoppers are genuinely very nice content creators who are definitely making a helpful service for overweight people. I do have a slight issue with their series called "if I fits, I sits" - which is them not checking if they fit in rides, but if they fit in Disney's restaurant chairs! They then proceed to always order huge amounts of food, no doubt contributing to their weight. If they skipped these sit down calorie fests and just did the rides, they would likely lose a lot of weight from the step counts at Disney (they're no joke!)
NOOOO YOU BETTER POST YOUR CRUISE VIDEO THE DISNEY VLOG WAS DEFINITELY VERY REFRESHING ❤️❤️🔥🔥‼️‼️
Right. I keep equating an exercise/wellness journey like riding a bike. If you pull that bike out from storage, whether it's been a few months or years, you aren't going to jump right on it and go on the Tour de France. You're going to do maintenance, maybe get some new parts, and take a test ride down the block.
I have somewhat of a food addiction and tend to binge on certain foods and I've managed to lose almost 30 pounds walking and being more mindful of my intake, avoiding cutting anything out to avoid feeling deprived. I cut everything out the first time I lost weight (ended up with ana) and it reversed to binging because my body was deprived. I think the woman's WIE was fine for starting out.
"please take this personally" I know that's right, Michelle!
@2:20. You were right the first time: "park-sized parkhoppers"...
I love what you said about making tiny steps, bartering w/ yourself to make those small steps, and it really getting you to a big change in the end. I'm currently in that process, not w/ food but another bad habit, and I realized (and so have my family members) that the change in me over the past two years is night & day. Anyone who's struggling: small steps are a great way to go, rather than those crazy 'just don't eat, complement water w/ a cigarette' approach that the commenter had.
I just today had a friend pass away due to obesity, I’m literally so sad about it, it’s really something that can take your life
Sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry
I’m really glad you responded to those comments about cutting out food and eating at restaurants and seasoning on food. Let’s bffr. It’s easier to get fast food when working full time and it’s about making one decision at a time. I am currently at one take out a week but sometimes I fall off after a stressful day. Sometimes successful diets start with just moderation.
1:02 mommy- sorry mommy- sorry mommy- sorry mommy-
I think when you post what you eat for people who do frequent Disney more than once a year, it is very refreshing for them. It shows that you don't have to only eat food from the park, you don't have to spend SO MUCH money, and you can make healthier choices while enjoying a fun filled day / vacation.
