I will say this, when I was slim...you couldn't tell me I wasn't sexy but after I gained all this weight I feel a mess. I'm so self-conscious and jealous of my husband and its because I feel fat, old and ugly. Weight can do some serious damage (on some) and their self esteem...
@lrrichards1218 yes and no matter how much you try its really no way to control the way you feel the only option is to lose it. Losing it is not the challenge keeping it off is
@hookah601 "Losing it is not the challenge keeping it off is" I believe that because I have heard so many stories about people losing weight only to get it back plus some. I'm hoping I have success. That's why after I have this baby I'm joining weight watchers. I need a network and accountability...
i can relate. even though i was fat (still am) when i was 12 a few guys would actually talk to me, and my confidence was so low that i would reject them :( and they were cute too
You are inspiring.....I've been through a similar situation with the insecurities that being overweight can bring. I've lost 40 lbs. so far but the weight loss journey continues! Thankyou for the motivation!
omg...im like tearing rite now..because where u were with ur wieght and emotions is where i am rite now. everything you talk about in this video i can relate....but i want to thank u for the modivation to get this done. thank you! :)
i have been wanting to get to 170lb for a long time, but never had a BIG ENOUGH reason to start that journey. "when you said get OUT there" thats all i needed to here.
@gossipchick13 OMG I WEIGH 130 POUNDS and have been trying to loose 10 pounds too :( girrrrrrrrrl we're on the same page! lol has it worked out for you?! let me know
Thank you for your inspiring words, i put on nearly 5 stones after having my son and i lost every confidence in my mind body and soul but one day i seriously saw the light and it was in the form of my son. Now i'm trying to lose the weight i have a long way to go but i know one day i'll be making a great inspiring video like yours. Thank you honey ! ! ;-)
I'm just seeing your post "From a size 22 to a 14 and the things you said are all the things im feeling about losing weight and I always try to see who my boyfriend is looking at when I feel someone that looks better walk by us. And you know I am going to do this because all the time i'm wasting I cant get back.
I absolutely loove you!! you are so cute sista. Do ya thing, I'm a new natural and Im trying to lose 40 pounds yet again. Its not easy but you have to pray and keep strutting!! do you boo!!
thank you. congrats on natural I have been floating back and fourth between natural and relaxed and the weight is still going well I am just working on maintaining at this point
OMG I like you already its my 1st time watching ur video and u touch my heart cos I'm going thro the same thing now. I realate to everything ur talking about. I wish u the best and everything you do. U seem like your a wonderful person.. GOD BLESS U QUEEN
I feel like you are feeling right now. I always used to get alot of attention and I still get some that is positive, but I feel so bad about myself that I do not appreciate it. I used to love wearing the nicest clothes and latest hair styles but now, since nothing fits and I do not wanna buy anything because I hate my size I just kinda stay in except for work and only go to the store at night. I used to be 140 and am 230. You inspire to take control and get my life back. Thank you so much.
thank you and know that i know plenty of females who are 245 lbs and above that look gorgeous!!!! you have to stay fixed up it's not an option and you gotta keep a diva attitude and if you do that losing the weight will come easy
I feel ya...I was in the same boat. keep up the good work. I went from a size 18/20 to a size 12 and I followed your advice and remembered that with God all things are possible and I don't have to live with out self-control...(I was an emotional eater)
ive been through some of the same things you have spoken...u r so real, i think we look alike too...im 285 now, 5 feet 7" tall and my goal is 180...a "sexy" 180.lol. hopefully be dec 2010
lmfao man your funny you said it got so bad your confidence was at a ultimate low that when a guy talked to you you would look behind and go who is they talking to they must be talking to a girl or something lmao. anyways. good job keep it up your a great person :)
wow..so much truth and honesty spoken here.. yeah i know what it feels like. u r a huge inspiration.. am on my journey to lose weight as well.now im a size 20 and 5'6 and i intent to drop like 3 dress sizes.i hope i could! wish me luck!
You are going to do great. And it's funny that you say you are 5'6 cause I just recently found out that I was 5'7 and I was devastated lol I think 5'6 sounds much cuter lol
You are going to do great. And it's funny that you say you are 5'6 cause I just recently found out that I was 5'7 and I was devastated lol I think 5'6 sounds much cuter lol
You look great! congrats! I've been there I started at 329lbs and terrified to go out in public because of how bad i felt about myself. I completely remember the breaking my neck to make sure he wasn't lookin elsewhere ;-p I'm now at 156lbs and trying to get to 145lbs. It takes hard work but SOOO worth it..... If you ever need anyone to talk to... look me up. So proud of you!
in common you an i share the weight problems . but aside from that you are beautiful. an although i had some negitive comments about myself , it only had to do with weight . so basicly there aint nothing wrong with us.. all we need is CONFIDENCE. AN THEN WE WILL LOOSE. NEVER GIVE UP BECAUSE OF AN OPINION..BECAUSE OPINIONS DONT STATE THE FACTS,.. OBVIOUSLY.. GIRL AGAIN. I HAVE TO SAY ...YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL...FUCK THE WEIGHT.. YOU ALREADY LOOK GOOD..AN YOUR DOIN GOOD...SO KEEP IT UP HUN.
i'm a size 20-18 i really really want to be a size 16-14 i've wanted that since i was 15 lol
my weight is 260 and my goal is 168. i'm working really hard on it i used to be size 26 when i was 15 and now than i'm 19 a size 20-18 and trying to maintain it it's getting harder than when i first started. i really love your video's and your right when i was bigger i didn't want to put on make up or anything i stopped caring and i horrible when you stop caring about my own body .
Girl that is a good size goal but you know once you make it to 168 you'll probably be like a size 9 or 10 right? you will get there in no time and ya I am glad you could relate to my message
I'm loving your videos. I'm 23, and a size 22 right now. On some days, I'm VERY comfortable with myself. But as i 'transition' into my natural hair, I'm also trying to make a weight change. I DON'T WANT TO BE SKINNY. I just want to be healthy, I have two kids that I want to be able to run around with. I'm going to post my first video in the mornin... to introduce myself. Hope u come through.
im a size 14-15 and im in middle school and everyone in school is skinny i feel so fat but its not in my stomach its in my thighs i hate it i cant eat anything without feeling guilty
see you in middle school right now and hate same way I was but when you get to high school people will praise you for your thighs coke bottle shape!!!
a 14 is not big hun. If you want to lose weight make sure you do it the healthy way. Eat right and exercise. A good book to pick up is the Abs diet for women. They will help you eat right.
omg thanks gurl i i know this video is old but i am new to ur channel and i wanna say thanks for the pep talk i needed it .u pointed out some good things that really needed t be said
thank you and you are welcome diva I sub you and I can't wait to see your progress! Stay true to you and stay focused and don't forget about ya plus size sista
I've watched your videos in the past, and never got a chance to post a comment, but thank you for your words...remembering your reasons for losing weight is great advice...its something I needed to be reminded of tonight, because the oreo cookies are calling me right now...lol.
Girl you are beautiful inside and out. You must love YOURSELF before you LOVE others. You are on your way to the greatest love affair between you and you. :)
I love your video! I had my son 3 years ago and gained 65 lbs i was really depressed and did not attempt to loose it and gained about 50 more. now im 5'9" and 275 lbs. your video had motivated me to get out there and be confident about myself my husband loves me for who I am and still treats me the same as he did when i was 145lbs but i want this for myself and ima do it thanx alot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Congrads!!! I am so happy for you! And know that times will get hard but you can do it! And maybe you can use him to help u threw it and help you stay motivated
hi i like your video and understand alot of what your saying and the feelings that come with being overweight , and i must say your doing so good i'm very impressed as i myself was 210 pounds and now i'm down to 151 pounds which is a size 24 to 14 (english sizes) and i know just how hard it is, so keep up the good work.
I'm in the same boat right now. I have gained sooo much weight over the years and now I just have to do something about it. Not to mention, I had a baby and gained even more weight! UGH. I've always been plus size, but now I'm like damn, I need to handle this. My SO is supportive for the most part and tells me that I'm beautiful regardless, but I'm no longer beautiful to me, ya know. But anway, Very insprational video. Very!
