One thing i think is so rude is when skinny people go on in front of me about how fat they are & say " oh my god i'm so fat" it's almost like they're calling me a whale to my face because i'm a size 16/18 and it's OBVIOUS. Sometimes i dont know how to respond to that......and it's not just one , there'll be like 3 coworkers or acquaintences talking a bout how fat they are and they're clearly all SMALL people. Isnt that rude?
I have no idea how I stumbled across this video, but let me share my day.. I walk my 2 older kids to school everyday & today I saw someone I hadnt seen in a bit & she automatically mentioned my weight gain & that I looked pregnant! I was mortified, but she has always been a mean spirited girl..well anywho it got to me although I've been trying to lose weight & I saw this video and it has brought inspiration back full force. Thank you so incredibly much. <3
wow!! girl u have a way with words, u should be a motivational speaker or somethin!!
i love your videos.
ive just been through a really bad breakup with my sons dad and it's tough. ive been called every name but the 1 thing he focused insulting me about repeatidly on is my weight.
i'm now determined 2 loose weight, i never want some1 to be able to insult me like that again! im a single mum i dont have money for a gym but i figure a change in diet and more active lifestyle should do the job.
thats an interesting question, "am I depriving myself?" if you really sit to think your not. Ive never put things into perspective like that. great video Jude, as usual. btw my birthday is this month as well; 7/29! :) do you mind me asking when is yours?
Hi Juby and thanks. I don't think that passing on sweets or heavy carbs as deprivation but discipline. Now if I truly starved myself, that is deprivation. That is my opinion, anyway.
Thank you for your wisdom, honesty and inspiring words. This helps so much to get thru this process of losing weight and feeling better. You're an angel!!!! ps love the straight hair!
It's really great to hav a goal in mind..However, it may lead to a backslide..meaning 1 may move back 2 steps after obtaining the goal.. so it's better nt to push yourself too much.the most impt thing is to change your diet..& as time goes by..even w minimal workout..ur body'll change 4 the better..
don't be too hard on yourself about maybe "not doing enough". this is a lifelong change- i beat myself up too, like oh, only 3 days a week in the gym? oh, you had that extra bowl of cereal. i don't know about you, but i'm coming from a place where i didn't care at all, about anything. and to even be at where i am now, for you to be at where you are now, is amazing. we're building a solid foundation on which to grow. keep it up, and "improve" when you can..! good luck!! thanks for your videos :-)
I always cared but was too down on myseld to do anything about it. There is always some excuse not to but I am getting better and those excuses are dwindling to a can and do attitude.
and ive done and i am still doing the wall thing and i wanna stop that so i have started to exercise but i gotta get the selfcontrol and will power to eat right altho i am getting better than a i was a few months ago but my weight hasnt so i gotta work with that still
"I've had cake. I've had a lot of cake. HELLO!?! I've had cake, look at me - this is the body of a person who's had their share of cake." I absolutely LOVED that part.
The thing about having a pretty face... ugh, I know exactly what you mean. You're doing great, Jude, and your blogs always make me think twice about everything.
Don't be too hard on yourself. A challenge is great but this journey shouldn't feel like a chore. Try to have fun with it!
yes, consistency is really important! I've been on Weight Watchers for a while now and lost about 45 pounds. but at the moment I'm a little lazy with counting points and stuff cause I have to work a lot and other things are going on in my mind. you made me think about it and I'll do my best from tomorrow on.what bothers me most about being big is that I can't wear the clothes I like. at least here in Germany the 'normal' shops don't have my size... I really want to change that!
Thank you Laura, for sharing your story. I think time is something that can really work against us when we are trying to lose weight. Getting workouts in, preparing healthy meals... these things can be hard to do when you already have a busy day happening.
I think you are a little too hard on yourself! Because as long as you are doing better than you were when you were gaining weight, you are doing good!! Remember you can't be perfect and if you are so strict on yourself, you are only in for a disappointment because no one can be so disciplined and always follow the original plan with precision. It's impossible...Im not saying you shouldn't try but just expect some mistakes and learn from them.
I think that too many people trap themselves in the head space of perfectionism, without realizing that perfectionism can set them up for failure. Personally, I don't think like should be about "sacrifice" or "discipline". Eating healthier feels healthier and gives me more energy, so that's why I do it. And if I eat foods with less nutritional content, I note it and I move on from it.
My mantra is, there's always tomorrow, so I don't have to eat it all today.
I appreciate your support for those of us who recieve the "eat a sandwich" comments. I support all of you guys because you want to be healthy (and that's the important thing). I have had a lot of the people I know telling me lately that I look too thin, so in an attempt to gain weight, I started eating WAY to much fast food. I don't feel good often because of it. I am also trying to "get healthy" so you are an inspiration to me even though our end goals are slightly different.
I know that sometimes the body issues of the thinner person can be overlooked but where does a lot of body issues begin but in our heads? Whether fat or thin, for some reason, people think it perfectly acceptable to make remarks on it.
I dont believe in diets because that is where I run into problems. You can still have cake, its just the amount. I believe in eating in moderation. You can still enjoy yourself
I do talk about what I do. I talked about my body responding to a low carb lifestyle and incorporating a fitness program into my day. I talk about what is going on in my head that week which is something unique to me but they do have a commonality with a lot of people who follow the channel as evident by the comment section. Some of the things I say, I have to pause because I feel like I will cry if I go further so no.. not general. I don't believe I talk about just general stuff.
You know, I've been trying to lose weight for a couple years and I'm very consistent with my workouts but I haven't gotten the greatest results, but I've gotten results and that's what I focus on. Also, I've just come to the realization that I'm not happy with where I am so I need to change and I need to not be hung up on what I can't have. It was the same with when I quit smoking, I just didn't want to be tied down to an unhealthy lifestyle.
I think that fitness and diet go hand in hand for the greatest results. I have been consistent with my fitness but very inconsistent with my diet which is leading to a slow progression. It is progression so I am still pleased.
Jude, you're so awesome! I look forward to your video every Saturday. I really like the fact that you said you weren't going to be a slave to the number. I started working out a few weeks ago but didn't weigh myself. I'm just going to continue being active because it's making me feel a lot better about myself.
...and no! thank YOU for sharing your ups/downs/thoughts with us every week. Writing a comment is easier than talking in front of a camera :P (IMO)
Thank you for the birthday wishes! I am pretty excited for it. I think you have a terrific outlook. Checking that number everyday is an emotional rollercoaster waiting to happen. Weight fluctuates during a weightloss regimen which can lead to frustration.
thi is the first time i have ever posted a response to a video and i've watched plenty, just had to tell you that i found what you had to say very inspirational, as someone who has struggled with weight issues all my life and has recently lost 28lbs so much of what you you said hit home with me....and as for sacrifice i try to think of it as giving up something good ......for something better!
Thank you so much and congratulations on the weight loss! 28lbs is a terrific accomplishment. I LOVE what you said about sacrifice. Very insightful. Thank you for sharing it.
consistency is such a problem for me. and failing. the moment I fail I feel like I need to punish myself by just giving up and eating everything in sight. and the moment I make my first goal, I give myself a little too much leeway and I gain back everything I've worked so hard to lose. I need to realize I have to make a life change and not just a temporary -lose the 40 pounds and then you can eat what you want- change.
Thank you Jude for putting yourself out there, Saturday is my favorite day!
Hi nukemutants! Argh.. this is the whole head thing that makes me nuts. Why are we our own worst enemy? Changing your wiring is tough stuff and it isnt all about being consistent with your diet and workouts but also the commitment to change where your head is.
yeah i really dont get why people think they can comment on someones weight. its strange...ive never brought up someones weight to them or anything and i cant imagine doing that...
and yayyy july 31st :D:D its so weird when i find ppl with my birthday :O haha but i think july 31 is a great birthday :D
i lost 104lbs by dieting and exercise. gained every bit of it back plus 15lbs! i was deeply depressed for months and months and months. the sadness came from letting myself lose control again. now, i'm back on a diet/exercise regimen and i am down 30+lbs in less than a month. i like what you said about sacrifice. i've had my share of cake, potato chips, fast food, & soda now its time to actually care what i put in my mouth once again. thanks for the encouragement. keep up the good work!
and also from loosing all of that weight it has pushed me to eat very healthy and exercise everyday because i loved the results...
so know im a regular exerciser and im am just soooooooooooooooooooooooo happy i did it omg omg omg like i cant even explain it! OMG. ahhh! if you just dicipline yourself you will be sooooo happy with the results jude!!!!!!!
omg. you are so right. on january 1st 2009 i decided that i was going to be sooooo diciplined on eating and exercising because i didnt feel comfortable with my body at all. so i seriously exercised 30 mins each day and didnt eat ANYTHING unhealthy for 5 months. in May i WAS SKINNY. i seriously thought i couldnt do it and ever since i lost all that weight everyday i am just SO thankful that i did that! i know lots of people dont want to dicipline themselves that much but you will be SOOOOO happy
it's interesting how you brought up both sides of being heavy and being thin. I am faced with the "wow, don't you ever eat?" "if you turn sideways, i think you'll disappear!" and yes, it's hurtful. but to me, i think "I'm healthy, I feel good and I'm an athlete with an athletic body." Am I naturally like this? definitely not! my genes play a role in my struggle to maintain a certain fitness level. Being consistent is definitely key! :)
u make me think so much about myself & how i act tward myself & then u make me see that im not the only one that thinks like this. like last week when u talked about not going to amusement parks cause of not fitting on the rides & this week when u talked about the beach... thats so true cause "I hate the sand" hahaha
your amazing. I totally agree with you on the cake thing. We need to get into the mentatlality that "Ive had cake before. I know what it tastes like. I can have cake again- it's not going AWAY". But for now to focus- the cake is not necessary.
I understand about the world and their perception but what hurts me more than that is being judged by the people you'd less expect, which is family. its a battle to see them & hear man you got fat you need to lose weight as if i dont look in the mirror and see myself everyday. If theyre not blunt they turn it into a joke. It hurts when your afraid to go out with your family because your afraid of what they'll say. its not my parents theyre supportive its others and it hurts:( Thanks Jude ur GR8!
I recently started the carb diet and its been tough adjusting to the schedule of eating and the different foods but its been successful. Its also been difficult to stay consistant so i can relate to you on that. I personally weigh myself at the end of the month so that its not a constant number burning in my head. Lately ive been procrastinating and ive slacked so its been hard to get back into the diet. Hearing you is such an inspiration. Gotta lose it for my wedding next nov.
you're so inspiring jude, I wish I could make the sacrifices you can make. I find myself looking at calories and nutrition facts but when I'm really hungry I'll grab the unhealthy food right away because it's fast. Working 2 jobs, I don't have much time to eat or exercise so I grab whatever is convenient and I'm so exhausted after work that I don't even want to exercise. But I guess I'm going to try harder next week. Just hope I will keep myself on track.
Jude, I really thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. I feel like you tell my story in some way.
I struggle with myself, too. I'm not too overweight, I just don't feel comfortable with my body at all. The hardest part for me is to get to the point where I decide to change my life. For good and not just for a month or so... it's so easy to be good for two weeks and then fall back into the old pattern.
wow you are amazing. i completely understand about the consistency. that is my major problem. i eat healthy one day and then the next its junk food craz. same with working out. i work out really hard and walk one day then the next i am a couch potato. i dont know how to stop. and the cake me too ive have my fair share. u are doing great 10 lbs. awesome.
you are perfectly correct with everything and you are so inspiring to me
iv ben overwhieght for a while and iv accepted who i am but other poepl like to make fun of me for it for years iv tried ignoring it but during the day it can get to me and its hard to accepdt who i am tell now
Jude where are you?? I miss your amazing talent with makeup. Hope you'll come back:)

your amazing. I totally agree with you on the cake thing. We need to get into the mentatlality that "Ive had cake before. I know what it tastes like. I can have cake again- it's not going AWAY". But for now to focus- the cake is not necessary.

I understand about the world and their perception but what hurts me more than that is being judged by the people you'd less expect, which is family. its a battle to see them & hear man you got fat you need to lose weight as if i dont look in the mirror and see myself everyday. If theyre not blunt they turn it into a joke. It hurts when your afraid to go out with your family because your afraid of what they'll say. its not my parents theyre supportive its others and it hurts:( Thanks Jude ur GR8!

I recently started the carb diet and its been tough adjusting to the schedule of eating and the different foods but its been successful. Its also been difficult to stay consistant so i can relate to you on that. I personally weigh myself at the end of the month so that its not a constant number burning in my head. Lately ive been procrastinating and ive slacked so its been hard to get back into the diet. Hearing you is such an inspiration. Gotta lose it for my wedding next nov.

you're so inspiring jude, I wish I could make the sacrifices you can make. I find myself looking at calories and nutrition facts but when I'm really hungry I'll grab the unhealthy food right away because it's fast. Working 2 jobs, I don't have much time to eat or exercise so I grab whatever is convenient and I'm so exhausted after work that I don't even want to exercise. But I guess I'm going to try harder next week. Just hope I will keep myself on track.

Jude, I really thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. I feel like you tell my story in some way.
I struggle with myself, too. I'm not too overweight, I just don't feel comfortable with my body at all. The hardest part for me is to get to the point where I decide to change my life. For good and not just for a month or so... it's so easy to be good for two weeks and then fall back into the old pattern.
