Love you Allison! You are a brave gal and I have a lot of respect for you putting yourself out there. I'm so glad that you are getting help and insight that will allow you to grow. YOU DON'T SUCK AT LIFE! :)
This is pretty much your best video of all because of your openness and honesty. I have been through some other stuff myself but the result is the same with the eating. Remember...you are a SURVIVOR of abuse, not a victim! Here's to new beginnings! God willing, we will all find our way :-)
There is a quote I once heard by Maria Robinson" Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending." Girl your doing it! You are making a good start! :)
Its incredible the relationship between sexual assault & abuse. So many of us share the same stories. Food & fat becomes a comfort for us and then a safety net. Thank you for sharing, you are not alone. I've used food & my fat my comfort & safety for 16 years now since my first rape. After a few sexual assaults I realized food gave me comfort but also protected me; I was far less likely to be assaulted again if I were fat. I'm finally starting to lose successfully (95 pounds so far) and all of
Sorry to hear about your abuse, I think more people and children can related than naught - including myself. But there comes a time when we have to stop letting our abusers win. That's what we're doing, when we stay fat and make excuses.
I LOVE YOU ALLISON! and you are correct- you do not suck at life! Such a big step taken in this video! Hopefully the fact that you able to take such a big step will contribute in a big way to your healing. I'm here for ya girl! You have my number! Text-a-bitch. :P <3
You are AMAZING! Keep on fighting girl! I am routing for you! You should totally try Zumba btw, it is awesome! So much fun and such a good way to burn calories and lose weight while having FUN! Xx
I think you're a beautiful, amazing STRONG, woman. You are successful, you are wonderful, and anyone who has anything mean to say to you about this video will personally get an ass beating from me. <3
Me too <3 I made a video about it a while ago, actually I've made 2 but they're very hard for me to have up so I decided to make them both private. People don't understand how much that really does affect weight loss. You're brave for sharing!
Allison, this is a great affirmation for you, speaking from that certain experience. I know that you will be able to get through this. With the good lord's help and your detemined spirit, your a GREAT person. Keep moving forward! I know you will be awesome.
God Bless You... You are strong and beautiful... Don't let anyone tell you different... I came across your video under my recommedations... Keep working on yourself... Only you can make your own happiness... You can help others with everything you have been through... My prayers go out to you... Keep that beautiful head help high and proud... Every day is a new day... You go girl...
As important as it is to keep at it and hold yourself accountable for the weight loss, it is much MORE important to take care of yourself mentally. You're so brave to share this with all of us. You do whatever you have to do to heal mentally, and when you can be on plan, then do it- we're here backing you up for both!
You are fantastic!!! You sound like you have a great plan....Keep your smile and your great laugh. You ROCK!!! YOU are an inspiration to all the ladies out here. Stay brave and strong. Screw the shitty comments....not worth your energy!!! Keep moving forward as you are. You are a strong beautiful person !!!Good luck God Bless.!!!
I wanted to take time out to say Thank You. I started watching your Medifast videos and was so captivated with your honesty about your struggles. This video shows all your fans that you are indeed human. It's really hard for me to say this, but I've been through the same thing. I'm not sure I could tell the world the way you did. I'm still struggling with it, but I think you just opened a gate to your healing.
Thank you for giving me hope that one day I may be able to do this as well.
You are really strong for telling people what you have been through and please ignore the shitty comments from people who are nonfactors. You doing these vids are helping inspire lots of people so please know that you are a blessing =) I will pray for you.
Once you begin to talk about your past you will unleash yourself from the chains that it holds. Keep up with the weight loss - you need to do this for yourself and you can. Good luck to you.
You are brave but threw this you have empowered yourself even more then you know I think a lot of us have been where you are now but we do go on and we find out that what we where afraid of isn't after we let the sham go and tell the world this will NOT control you any more you are on your way as far as food this will come to baby steps that's all I can say your great don't forget that I really do like your videos its real life you have people out here cheering for you :) Keep videos going
How brave of you to post this video, thanks for doing it. I truly believe by you doing so you have reached a turning point in your life and are making great strides to set as yourself a priority. You can do it and I wish you every luck in the world.
I have never commented on one of your videos before (rarely on anyone's actually) but I've followed you for years so just wanted to say how happy this video made me cause it is so inspirational for myself and others that someone talks about how everyone's background is different and that it can affect but not necessarily control our lives. :) lots of love from Sweden!
You are so so brave to put yourself out there like that, good on you, i've only just started watching your channel and I feel proud of you!!
Well done with everything your doing, truely inspirational. I've just started my own weightloss journey and am being referred to therapy when I go back to uni. The things you say make me feel so much better about going!
I hope you can check my channel out and sub back, all the luck in the world,
Thsi videos was very real!! I went through the same things when i was younger but I didn't admit out loud until about 3 years ago (I am 30)...Please watch my videos and you will see how much we are alike! You seem like a great person! Son't let the haters out there get to you! They are all cowards that can say nasty comment behind a computer and don't see how hard it is to live when you go through such tramatic expierences!
Lovely to see you back and I agree with previous comments about how brave (and strong!) you are. I think you should be kinder to yourself.... food is the toughest addiction of them all and we are all human, after all! You said you don't suck at life - you're doing much more than succeeding, you're helping some of us who are much less brave to feel better about ourselves and inpired to keep trying too. Good on you, Alison, you're a great girl! I
Big hugs and kudos to you!!! I missed you very very much and I am so happy you are doing so well. Your videos matter. Your story matters. Thank you so much for sharing your life! -Cate
allison, I missed you, I don't know why anyone would write shitty comments...just shitty pple :) I'm sorry for what you've gone through, but you're strong and will get passed it and move on... glad you are getting help. <3..you don't need a diet plan..I think diets consume (no pun intended) too much energy to follow long-term.... just eat lots of veggies and fruit...or follow the governments MyPlate plan :)
You're so brave to tell that to all of us, especially so shortly after receiving negative comments. I'm happy that you're making progress with everything and not letting it control you/take over your life. You're amazing, Allison! <3
i noticed you used the word confession, but maybe that is just my catholic use of the word but you do not need to confuss you did not do any thing wrong. I do not pretend to understand I think it is hard for men to trully undestand. good you are getting help. I would like to be friends maybe i can help with the food part
Awe sweetie... you are an absolute ray of sunshine & it breaks my heart to see you sad. BUT! You are absolutely correct, you are a functional adult and that counts for a whole heck of a lot these days. I'm so proud of you for being so real, I wish you nothing but success & happiness.
I can relate to you on so many levels, your great, and yea we all make excuses! Don't let people get you down... I wish you were closer to me, when my baby comes I would love to have a workout, diet buddy!
Allison, I have to say you are the most real woman I have ever watched on YouTube! You have been through so many obstacles not only in weight Loss but in life. Just remember that you have an amazing family and a well supported audience! We wish you nothing more then happiness in this time. Thank you for sharing, because I myself know it's hard to confess something that big.
I've been watching your videos for a long time, but have never commented. I love your contagious smile and laugh! I also have many issues with food, and am really trying to get in the mindset of eating intuitively. I'm so sick of counting points, calories, etc. I just want you to know that I admire you for posting this. You have so much support here. I'm a big advocate for mental health, and am so proud of you for continuing with your appointments. Hope to see more videos from you! hugs
So glad you are back to making videos - you smile is contagious! I can relate so well to your confessions. I was sexually abused from the age of 4 - 11 by a family member and am also a compulsive overeater. You are doing awesome and I'm glad you're here!!! *hugs*
That's horrible! :( It's totally NOT your fault and I'm so sorry for you, to have to had go trough that! I have no idea how horrible that must have been! :( All the best wishes to you for your life, from Finland! :) <3 I love you and your videos, they make me feel so much better and you encourage me and inspire me, and make me feel like I can do this!! You are so good person <3
i think you are so beautiful out side and in im a victim of sexual abuse and i know how it can affect eating i think you are so strong for making this vid and it made me little teary eyed :)
So sorry to hear about what's happened to you. Just know that you can get through this, and you're a beautiful, amazing person for being able to share this with the world. Stay strong, you can do it!!!
You are an amazing person and as a nurse I can tell you that your story will inspire and help so many people. You are an inspiraton of courage and beauty. May you always be blessed :) I will continue to enjoy your videos!!
Allison, you have been given this strength to finally move forward, this therapy that is helping you, will help others by your just being opening and honest and loving who you are. I need your help, not for me, but for some very close to me who is suffering deep inside. Mental wellness is the key, once we get well inside, then the layers on the outside will peel away into the fresh beautiful flower you are. as I said, I need someone's help to understand, because I care, :) Bonnie
Allison you're right, you should not feel shameful at all. You did nothing wrong. People who have never experienced something like that, could never know how that controls your life. I'm glad your are taking your life back!!! You will get through this and come out on the other side a stronger woman. I wish you all the best!!!!
Wow. Brilliant to hear that you're able to take control of your life and see things more clearly. You're such a lovely person. Sending you a big cuddle from Scotland :)
allison ..first off let me say you are very brave for sharing what you did with us ..and you didnt / dont have to justify anything to anyone .....so no excuses needed, i also am a survivor of sexual assault and molestation ..and for along time i was AFRAID to be small ....and alot of people i dont think understand that aspect of being assaulted ....hugs to you and stay strong .....you might have to finish dealing with what happened before you can correct and tackle the weight thing ...:( xoxox
Thank You for sharing that with all of us, that must of been hard. I have always loved your videos, you are real and I so relate. It's hard to lose it's hard to stick to plan. Is good to see you be real. Take it one day at a time, you deserve the best :)
you are amazing. you are taking back your life. i'm so happy that you're making good decisions for yourself. I will always be here to cheer you on. Your dreams & hopes are coming true. When you're in it you can't always see it. Just watch some of your 1st videos. It's scary that i have been watching you since then. wow what a change.
Thank you so much for sharing. You truly are so amazing and inspiring for so many of us girls keep your head up I know it takes alot of courage to put yourself out there like you do. We all appreiciaate you soo much!!!!
I'm sorry, you've had to go through that. You're very brave for sharing that on here. I obviously don't know you very well at all, but I've always been impressed by you. You've already accomplished a lot more in your life than most people who are much older than you, despite having endured what you have. You should feel empowered! You're awesome! So glad you're back :o) Hugs.
plus!! i forgot, even if you never did lose the weight, you are already beautiful and not alot of people can say that about themselves , i'm sure everyone important in your life feels the same way about u and accepts you just as you are :)
You are so strong and courageous to share that with us! Don't worry about the haters they obviously dont have the heart to try to see the whole picture. I have been watching your videos for a long time , i get so excited when i see a new update! You are realistic like a majority of the people out there that struggle with weight loss , i know i do and you help me feel alot more normal and not so much of a failure so thank u!! keep your chin up you are a great person!!
Thank you for sharing this. You are BEAUTIFUL. ((((BIG HUGS))))Take the power back and do you. To the haters Karma loves evil in people and gives it right back.
I have been watching you for years and I just wanted you to know that you have always done nothing but inspire me. You are lovely and wonderful and we share a serious mutual love of HK which makes us awesome (obviously) but in all seriousness, sharing what you did today took bravery and heart and the ability to realize and to know that you are and will be okay. I am proud of you and thankful to be among the people who will see this video. Keep trucking along lady and you'll get to your goals. :)
I've never commented on your videos but you have been an inspirations to me for some time. I just wanted to tell you that you are such a strong person [and I'm sure many have told you that] I hope you keep on posting videos and working hard on life! xoxo LL
you can do whatever you set your heart to sweet heart! as cliche as it may sound, it's true. my heart goes out to you... my sister has had the same experience as you and honestly i think she used to eat to "make" herself "ugly" and "unattractive/undesirable" by men....... it's all psychological. you can do it girl, no matter what, just don't give up and surround yourself by positive supporting people! yes, you are in control!
You're a beautiful person, and you deserve every happiness in life. You need to focus on your inside before you work on your outside, and it is great that you have been getting more help. Sometimes it is the hardest thing to do. Thank you for sharing with us, you are a real inspiration. <3
I'm sure that wasn't easy to say, but I am proud of you for doing it, because it's liberating. To hell with negative people. Forget them. Allison, we are so alike in so many ways on this journey, you have no idea. I like texting with you too :D Let's not stop! <3
It was so brave of you to post this. I applaud you gutsy girl you! I'm so glad you realized several years ago you needed help and are getting it. This fat vegetarian is so inspired by you, you just have no clue how going back and watching older videos helps me feel not so alone in this struggle. We all have excuses like you said and I appreciate your honesty...I'm full of not so honest excuses! Love ya and keep it up!
You inspire me so much. Since i started watching your videos ( & i've watched every single one) i have started changing my own life and started my own weight loss journey. thankyou so much for just being the incredible person that you are & best of luck in your own life. i love you & your videos <3
I LOVE that you are taking back your life!!! You go girl!! Seriously, you are so inspiring and so brave! I promise you that you will find peace and it will be all the more gratifying because you have gone through hell. Take it easy, have some fun, don't worry about a diet and know that whatever the scale says, you are GORGEOUS! :)
You are so brave and such an inspiration! I'm sorry for the things you have gone through in your life. You've come out on the other side and you've won! Good luck with eating healthier. Don't listen to the negative comments. Some people like to bring others down to make themselves feel better or superior. Keep the negative people out of your life. It's hard, but it's something I try to do. Don't let those people kill your soul!
I'm so glad you posted this video. Your a brave one!
Hi, I was deeply touched your confession, you're very brave to share it, I'm sure this will help you leave behind and be healthy and happy. Think positive, kisses and hugs.
Honey we just know of you through youtube. You know the REAL you! Don't let anyone's comments make you feel bad. You seem like a strong young lady. Keep your head up girl!!!!!
:) how amazing is it that you shared soemthing so deep with the entire world. Keep being a hero for other girls and women that are stuggling with the same things.
First let me say.....that was a very strong thing to do.....talking about this. I had something happen to me....when i was 18 years old...which i haven't hardly told anyone. I smoked for many years.....and got to the point...where i was hardly eating anything at all....a piece of bread and 1 pickle every day. But I am happy to say.....that i am on a healthy road at this point in my life. I have taken MY life back as well and quit smoking too. Talk as much as you want to. i care! ....Sher
im on the same journey, i feel your pain. you are so strong and inspire me. i sent you a private message telling you some personal stuff. youre amazing.
this is your best video yet. I am sorry that you had to go threw what you did and no words can take back what happened but at least your doing something to try and move forward. Thank you for sharing and you may have helped someone by posting this video. hugs. Angie
Thank you for making this video, I really missed your vlogs:) You really inspire me to eat healthier and tackle the deeper issues every time I watch your vlogs, take care :)
Thank you for your courage. I can't help but cry along when somebody bares their soul like this because for every nasty comment, there are hundreds of people (those who comment and those who don't) who you just inspired, encouraged, and helped. I am new to your channel but am already totally in love with you! <3
Dont put so much pressure on yourself and do things slowly and eventually over time those little things will add up into big changes you are beautiful glad to see you back
First of all, love the bangs! Second of all - thank you for making this video ... I love and appricate all your videos - it's SO hard to vlog and you help me more than you could ever know by your videos. There's so many people on here who love and support you - don't worry about the people who seem to just roam around looking for nasty comments to leave. So glad to hear you're doing good - stay strong! I'm sure what you're dealing with will give you some down days too but you'll get thru!!!! xo
So glad to see your face again! Thanks for being so open with us. I think it sounds like you have a plan. Good luck and take it slow. There is no quick fix, trust me I know, but slow and steady wins the race. Small changes can make a big difference.
i love you. you are such an inspiration to me. you are a strong woman alison. i admire your strength for making this video.you are still smiling and laughing after everything..well done i look up to you in a way. keep smiling and living your life as good as you are now, you have overcome so much. keep your head high. i wish i could give you a big hug LOL! lots of love xox
your allowed to cry! your such a strong person, and i love u just for being able to share something like that. ill pray for you and i hope its something u can overcome. good luck on your beautiful journey. ill pray for you.
You are ridiculously precious. *hugs* You're so strong and I can guarantee you're helping a lot of people by being so open. I wish you all the good in the world. <3
I love you Allison. I'm a self proclaimed youtube lurker and don't really leave many comments. Anyway, I've been watching your videos for such a long time now. You're an amazing person and you really can do anything you want. It's such a cliche but it's very true. All that put aside, you're incredibly brave for sharing that. I'm sure a lot of girls will be able to relate to this. You are not alone. You have support. Keep your head up and stay beautiful!
Amazing video Allison! Keep moving forward and on with your life! You only have one, live it up girl! :)

i noticed you used the word confession, but maybe that is just my catholic use of the word but you do not need to confuss you did not do any thing wrong. I do not pretend to understand I think it is hard for men to trully undestand. good you are getting help. I would like to be friends maybe i can help with the food part

Allison, I have to say you are the most real woman I have ever watched on YouTube! You have been through so many obstacles not only in weight Loss but in life. Just remember that you have an amazing family and a well supported audience! We wish you nothing more then happiness in this time. Thank you for sharing, because I myself know it's hard to confess something that big.

I've been watching your videos for a long time, but have never commented. I love your contagious smile and laugh! I also have many issues with food, and am really trying to get in the mindset of eating intuitively. I'm so sick of counting points, calories, etc. I just want you to know that I admire you for posting this. You have so much support here. I'm a big advocate for mental health, and am so proud of you for continuing with your appointments. Hope to see more videos from you! hugs

Allison, you have been given this strength to finally move forward, this therapy that is helping you, will help others by your just being opening and honest and loving who you are. I need your help, not for me, but for some very close to me who is suffering deep inside. Mental wellness is the key, once we get well inside, then the layers on the outside will peel away into the fresh beautiful flower you are. as I said, I need someone's help to understand, because I care, :) Bonnie

Allison you're right, you should not feel shameful at all. You did nothing wrong. People who have never experienced something like that, could never know how that controls your life.

Don't listen to the negative comments. Some people like to bring others down to make themselves feel better or superior. Keep the negative people out of your life. It's hard, but it's something I try to do. Don't let those people kill your soul!

First let me say.....that was a very strong thing to do.....talking about this. I had something happen to me....when i was 18 years old...which i haven't hardly told anyone. I smoked for many years.....and got to the point...where i was hardly eating anything at all....a piece of bread and 1 pickle every day. But I am happy to say.....that i am on a healthy road at this point in my life. I have taken MY life back as well and quit smoking too. Talk as much as you want to. i care! ....Sher
