    I love how you celebrate your body where it is at the moment by wearing cute clothing. Your viewpoint regarding clothing and what looks good can apply to anyone, really. I am not plus sized now but I watch you for your fashion tips and your weight is really irrelevant. Plus you are simply entertaining and have a wonderful sense of humor. But now, you are such a great spokesperson for getting healthier in general. Rock that pink nail polish! Be proud of what you’ve accomplished! You’re a beauty and the very best is yet to come no matter what size you are! I think you have a wonderful future ahead and will continue to motivate and inspire!

    Anna, I have watched you for quite awhile, but never commented. You are an inspiration to so many people. This is your journey and you need to do it however it is best for you. I always try to remember this quote that I heard many years ago “The body is a beautiful machine. Unlike other machines, the more you use your body, the better it gets.” Best wishes.

    So glad for you that you’re feeling more confident in who you are, and your “niche” in how you think and feel.
    And that the changes you’re making, you’re making for you- that they’re making you happier and healthier!
    You shouldn’t have to apologize for accepting and loving yourself, while also recognizing where you need help/can help yourself.
    It’s a hard balance, and I hope people recognize that!

    I feel you so hard!! I’ve been on a very similar journey..a year of therapy around body image/self love along with an intuitive eating dietician. I have a great PCP I am open and honest with. Getting the treatment that I have obviously needed since childhood-back problems gone, breathing easier, labs clear etc, etc. I’m also lighter and changing. And feeling absolutely amazing. ❤❤❤❤

  • @Satellitegirl41
    @Satellitegirl41 8 місяців тому +20

    Very happy for you. I completely agree with making better choices and noticing the difference. I started eating lower carb and have been losing but I am not weighing at all. Haven't stepped on a scale in probably 3 years...but I can tell clothes fit better. By not focusing on the number I am noticing the difference in my ability and movement, how clothes fit, my energy, and the inflammation reduction that was making my arthritis worse. SO different to how I did things before. Keep on keepin on Anna!

    Congrats!!!! Also, don’t ever let ANYONE, on any side of any issue, bring you down or minimize the progress you’re making for YOU. Self growth is always great, even if it looks different than it might for others.
    (.,.In other words: do not let any of the toxically-body-positive people give you grief about making lifestyle changes that are bettering your quality of life 💖)

    Allyship is so important and can be life or death for some people, hearing that theres doctors who are on board gives me so much hope for the future of medicine.

    Just so folks know, Novo Nordisk makes Wegovy. Which she has been taking for months.
    It feels a little disingenuous that you name dropped Novo Nordisk multiple times, but didn't mention they make Wegovy.... and REALLY beat around the bush about taking the medication. Why hold this back when its obviously been SO SO helpful for your life?
    Glad to see you thriving 😊

    I'm so proud of you, Anna 💖 I'm going through a bit of a journey myself. Weight loss isn't my goal here, but it was a side effect of getting well for a while. When I started gaining weight back, it had me scared, tbh - but my blood tests are better than they've been in a decade, so I had to give myself permission to stop worrying about what the scale said. The struggle is real! Mine is different from yours, but I'm with you, babes. Sending you lots of love from Michigan.

      Weight loss medications don’t work 😂 unless by work you mean “kill people”. Weight loss drugs also would not make someone more active, just like being thin doesn’t make someone active. If she’s more active it’s because age chose to be more active. It would have nothing to do with medication 🤦🏾‍♀️
