broke, fat and rashy

[@KATBRAC91]

Joanna, you've been my favorite creator for years. You're naturally hilarious and relatable and I absolutely adore you and Ted. Trust that so many of us are going through similar struggles and we so appreciate your vulnerability. Love you

[@jocelynnguyen9416]

I NEEDED THIS!!! how is everyone else not broke especially influencers/ freelancers please talk about this more 🙏

[@LoveMySpade]

Joanna as someone who has also gained some weight and is planning her wedding, it’s so healing for me to hear you talk about this! Stress, intense pressure to look a certain way, MONEY. It’s all cramping my style on what should be pure joy!!

[@claire5087]

Just woke up. Coffee and a Joanna video? Yes please!! Perfect start to my Monday 💛

[@amiesparkle00]

When I got married I was at my highest weight. Still had a fabulous and amazing time. Wonderful memories that I still cherish. Just concentrate on getting a dress that makes you feel comfy and beautiful and that feels good to move in. Getting married is really about sharing your commitment with everyone you love and want to celebrate with. And they will be focused on your joy. And that’s what truly matters ♥️

[@melky01]

This is everything! Struggling through almost the same stuff, it’s nice to not feel alone in this. I appreciate your honesty and raw vulnerability

[@heysmare9410]

Ok I relate to you so insanely much. Anyyyyways I got married a little over a year ago and all I can say is just shop for dresses for who you are now. Don’t buy a dress that you feel like you’re going to be messing with all night or only like at a certain angle. Just shop for who you are and your personal style will show through like it always does! You WILL find the right dress!

[@jemorjerrica]

What you said about not being able to wear what you want to wear - YES. I’m struggling too - I lost like 50+ pounds and then when I got sick again last summer I went downhill and pretty much gained it all back. That along with the big 4-0 approaching when I was convinced I’d be young forever.. it sucks man. Just wanted to say I love you and I relate and I’m here anytime you want to rant!

[@littlevirgobean]

help I thought ted's book said 'the incel'

[@ashleyc9048]

Same! 😂

[@tayter_chip]

I love your content and it’s so refreshing to feel like I’m not alone in my struggles. Thank you for being so real and open on the internet ❤

[@hannahkaye8514]

I have been following you for years and I wanted to say first that I love watching your content! I struggled with binge eating in the past really badly and in the past 4 years I feel like I have the healthiest relationship with food that I’ve ever had but I am also gaining weight and idk why. I’m scared to diet/count calories because I know it will throw me into binging again but I’m also tired of feeling uneasy in my body. I really appreciate you being so open and honest with your journey. You are not alone💜

[@christineesparza5417]

I hope these small tips can help :) i am a fellow binge eater as well and got gestational diabetes during my pregnancy that really made me have to shift my eating habits. I think small changes over time make the biggest changes and again getting diabetes taught me how our body processes sugar/carbs. After baby was born and my diabetes went away i felt like i was back at square one. I gave myself a goal of just not drinking soda for 30 days. The first day was the hardest and each day i was closer to 30 days i felt so good. Then i was like im going to not drink soda for another 30 days. Now i never crave it. Then i did the same thing with fast food and have been almost 3 or 4 months without it and never want it. Those small changes- i noticed a difference with my body. Anyway- i hope those little tips helped. I have a lot more if you want 😂

[@MyMomentswithMom]

We love the Natural History Museum! Smart idea to cover your plant beds. Those little critters, especially bunnies wreck havoc on plants. Go look for a wedding dress and have fun shopping for it! You are gorgeous, and will look ethereal in whatever you wear. OMG......Ted's reaction to having to get the stuff our of the car 😂🤣

[@meepmoopmeep1]

You and Ted always crack me up when you’re together

[@m_a_k_e_n_n_a]

love that u put this out MINUTES after I paid rent!!!!! relatable slay

[@anniehume8776]

I just got married a few months ago & can relate to this so much, putting all the pressure on yourself to look the best you’ve ever looked You are going to look so beautiful & it will be the happiest day of your life ❤

[@Mockingfray]

Joanna I just bought a collapsible cart from Lowe’s for like $50/60 that’s perfect for transporting heavy things for your garden (and for general use). I recommend!

[@lauriea2580]

I've been gaining weight consistently and non stop for the last 2.5 years and I didn't really understand what the hell was going on. I tried working out occasionally through out the week, cutting out dairy, gluten, and eating "healthy". Only recently I realized it was likely my insulin resistance and my hormones were messed up, all probably due to a relatively newer stressor in my life that I couldn't really get away from. I cut out processed sugars almost completely and started intermittent fasting, because I was getting increasingly concerned of pre-diabetes and everything that comes with that. I eat gluten and dairy occasionally now and managed to drop 6 lbs in about 5 weeks. I don't feel so out of control any more and starting to feel like myself again. It's so tough when you feel disconnected from your body.

[@boxying1995]

Wanted to second the Maintenance Phase podcast recommendations! It has helped me so much with my internalized fatphobia

[@ceciliamac4283]

Your skin looks so good!!!

[@porcelainegg]

literally love every video, when you don’t post i just binge all your old vids . love you bb

[@justwannabeaudrey]

I know this is not what you want to hear but I eloped last year and don't regret it at all. We took cute courthouse pics and had a dinner with close family at our favorite date night spot. Zero stress and we used some of the money we saved to ball out on our honeymoon.

[@justwannabeaudrey]

the wedding industrial complex is a PRISON!!!!!!!

[@lilliputianhitcher3808]

sometimes my PD triggers a fungal infection and i’ve noticed that it clears up after using anti fungal cream on my face it cleared up quickly (the itching is my indication that it could’ve caused a fungal infection)

[@stephaniec4766]

I also got those pants in the same color and also black, so good. Yes go try on all the dresses. I think you’ll leave feeling better and more excited than you’re anticipating. 💖

[@maggiewithum2959]

haven't watched one of your vids in like a year (why on earth) god I forgot how funny you are. this was a blessing

[@fannygoldbee7660]

Wow you could be describing me with that vlog title. You omitted to mention beautiful, you are bloody gorgeous and talented, funny, creative!You also have very impressive seed organisation system! 😊 I’m now feeling more than a little inadequate! I’m going to have to up my seed storage game! You can also throw pots! Yep! You are artistic and practical. You take on a project and you just can do it.And you have the our place posh pans and glassware! Teds a lucky chap, Why am I over using exclamation marks ffs xx think it just because youre such a interesting human. Just wanted to reflect back how I see you. Just saying I wish I could do half the things you can. Xxx ❤️❤️ I’ll start small ….seed system first xx baby steps

[@BaileySuttonMusic]

Heyy where did you get that netting on top of the garden?

[@lauren-ej5gr]

Vanicream moisturizer actually really irritated my perioral dermatitis! Everyone's different, but Cerave PM moisturizer & calendula cream have worked really well for me! I also sometimes use LRP cicaplast balm. :)

[@Ruziska1922]

Ted filming you. 🥰 He did a good job. Your museum/bookchella fit was so cute!

[@sarahlove647]

Hi Joanna! From one sensitive skin California gal to another - I had super dry, break-out skin in January. Limiting my routine to the green Cerave cleanser and Aveeno’s hydrocortisone cream (the one with oatmeal) for a month finally got my skin back to baseline. ❤

[@devischanel]

I hope you're feeling better now. I love your videos so much! You always make laugh and are so relatable 😆 I was wondering where your necklace is from? The one with the silver balls and gold heart? Thank you!

[@joannaspicer]

From Loren Stewart!

[@hellosofi1]

ted's reaction to the our place glasses.. CRIMINAL but my partner does the same thing to me every time i buy something for the house

[@jennylee1478]

I have perioral dermatitis too!!! Ugh - sucks and totally understand you, and excited to see how you do! I use Opzelura cream and it helps a ton -- just won't go away though :(

[@timeapetrova3625]

You are so good at ceramics! You could do some funky and sell it online/at markets 🙃 with your personality it will be a hit!

[@leilalu84]

Mental health is so fascinating… you try and understand it but its so hard.. like what can we actually change and what is just sort of solidified in terms of neurology etc… anyways was just wondering if your states/moods go in cycles? Like I’m starting to see with myself a pattern of a week or two of depression then gradually it picks up and then I’m on top of things then maybe a couple months later the cycle repeats.. its almost like your body does this to preserve energy or process things. So weird. But annoying obvs we all just want to be good all the time but I guess that’s unrealistic.. great to see you’re doing better-love your videos in all their dynamic honesty. ✨

[@Dreamgirlinc]

You don’t get it I was like “I need new Joanna today I’m gnna rewatch 6 year old vlogs for comfort” and ur here Ty for soothing my ocd x

What I don’t know won’t hurt me! But I also think every piece of lettuce has E. coli so it’s a balance 😂

[@rachelholsonback289]

Love you Joanna

[@PaperPlanes021]

I feel like big days like weddings always have way too much pressure to be the best day of your life. Often it's not gonna be the best or even perfect at all, and that's ok. If you aim for just having a really fun time with friends and family that's a great outcome 👍💗

[@r.c.3614]

I wish to GOD you made a sit com. Like you make me laugh like Broad City. Just so funny it pisses me off that you're not a binge worthy BOX SET

I was cracking up during this whole vlog. P.s. as someone who struggles with eczema, support your liver. It could be sluggish (pharmaseuticals can cause this) causing a histmaine reaction. Celery juice in the AM has helped me a lot as well as getting in the sauna!

[@briati]

the sauna helps eczema? i thought the heat would make it worse

[@carrieramsey7504]

This is such a good tip! PCOS has elevated my liver enzymes and I have been struggling with dermatitis.

Unexplained weight gain is often associated with some kind of hormone imbalance, perhaps see an endocrinologist to check? (Me, not a doctor, sharing my personal experience of what helped me) 💙 you

[@clover9332]

So I've got two friends with the same rash. It starts at the mouth because you're allergic to something you're eating (you'll have bathroom issues too) I love you Joanna and you're gonna beat this 👊 Spring is hard AF, everyone's feeling wild because this is the time where animals are given energy to frolick and come out of their dens and make babies, and humans just don't know what to do with all the energy because their needs are met, lol. You're just an animal picking up on the spring energy, like everyone I know is feeling exactly like you are (me included). Anyway, try out carnivore or an elimination diet, see how your body reacts to certain foods directly after you eat them. If you get a burning sensation (like me with almonds) that's a good indicator that things are off. You're beautiful and hilarious and kind and that's all you need even if life isn't going your way ♥️

[@clover9332]

Oh and foods you'll eat to be "healthy" like kale, broccoli, nuts, these foods are super hard on the gut ironically enough. Sticking with plain foods is the best way to go. Try it for a week, see how your rash fairs, then start to slowly add foods back in. I found that most people are sensitive to one food group. My aunt is allergic to leafy greens (even tea). I'm intolerant to legumes, etc...
