Therapist TELLS ALL About “Body Positivity” (Hijacked?)

First! And by the way, you‘re the sweetest and nicest person 🙂
(And i still love the shirt)

Love how she said that food shouldn’t be your primary source of happiness, and went on to talk about how that was the case for her, but how she’s making changes. Really Insightful Vid. 💖

Oh my goodness…still kind of in shock right now! I know I’ve told you already but you can never have too much gratitude in your day so… Thank you SO MUCH for sharing my video and I’m excited to see so many people who have similar perspectives as I do 🤗

I immediately love her. I’ve always been lucky to have the friends that love me no matter what , but hold me to task and give me honest feedback. Love her.

She’s so so good. She really put words on how I viewed all of those issues.

you gotta get her on your show! Call in show between the two of you would be LIT!

She’s awesome. She just gets it.

Inanimate objects have no ability to be phobic

Who else doesn’t miss their feet(soles?) Burning like fire after a day of average movement?!

Pride is not the opposite of shame but its source. It’s not unusual to see a group of people that have been shamed to try and counteract that with pride.

I found that losing weight helped my mental health but not because I was thinner but because I did it slowly and there was a moment when I realised that I no longer felt like I took up space and was in people’s way (not that overweight people are but it’s how I felt) followed by the fact that I got in to working out which boosted my confidence, my gym taught me about normal human healthy nutrition and I started eating to help my fitness with weight loss on the side as an additional benefit 😅 love your videos x

I got a sore neck nodding so much through this video. I said, “yes” so much I’m pretty sure my parrot will be mimicking me.

I was one of those people who thought I was healthy because my blood and labs were fine…

Then I had an MRI, a mammogram a few ultrasounds and a CAT scan, and I had breast cancer, uterine cancer, fatty liver, Gallstones, I also had muscles tears in my legs and I had no Idea how I got them I just remember walking and getting bad pain, I also had a few other issues…

Just because my blood work didn’t show diabetes at almost 400lbs (highest weight was 400lbs) I convinced myself I was fine but in reality I wasn’t ok at all I can honestly say that alot of these people are kidding themselves and if they did a full body scan they would be shocked at what’s really going on in their body…

What kills me is when so called specialists..online .registered dietitians saying that obesity killing people is a myth 🤦‍♀️

Actually when I go to doctors when I can’t walk for an hour without loosing my breath etc they tell me I need to loose weight or get more active (which would lead to weight loss). I think you underestimate doctors they are good at telling people when they are becoming or are obese especially when 1in 3 adults are obese. If you can’t walk for an hour and you are not disabled that’s a red flag:

She seems like a good soul and I appreciate her honesty. Having an eating disorder is so hard. I wonder what it’s like for her to treat clients who have them while she has one herself. Wishing the best for her.

Yo, I’m a former smoker. I started at 18, and after I joined the Marine Corps, I was smoking like CRAZY. I knew it was a problem. Did I look healthy?? Yes. I felt healthy too. I was exercising minimum 1.5 hours every day, I ate pretty healthy, and I drank a water of gallon every day. But I was smoking half a pack a day. And so were a lot of people around me.
Now that I’m home, I realized that I should stop. And even tho I have not had any consequences for years of smoking, I’m scared I will have problems in the future. My family also called me out on it, my fiancé was on to me about it and I finally decided they were right and I had to stop. So I did.
Yes, it was hard, it took me a whole year to actually stop. And from time to time I will still have a cigarette here and there if I go out to a bar, but it’s no where near where I used to be.
Moderation is everything. Being conscious of what you put in your body is not fat shaming, and I’m glad that my family called me out in my bullshit of straight up not caring about the smoking. I understand that other people who didn’t know, would not know that I was a heavy smoker and how unhealthy I was, but those around me (outside the marine corps) made it perfectly know that it was gross, and that I was being gross by smoking.

Gets a clear blood test: See? I’m totally healthy.
Gets an unclear blood test: The blood test is fatphobic.

“It just means social media isn’t a healthy space for me…” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I deleted my Facebook for that very reason. I’m very selective of who I follow on Instagram as well. Now my Twitter is all drama all the time lol. But I don’t follow people I actually know IRL there. Strangers on a screen that I have zero emotional connection to at all. I couldn’t care less what they think of me.

If your social meads are making you bitter or angry, time to walk away from them. I think a lot of people would be better off without them altogether.

“Health at Every Size” should be called “Mental and Lifestyle Health at Every Size”
