i love this so much, i'm keeping this quote as a reminder!

[@reneereadss]

The person I want to be: -she doesn’t obsess over exercise but remains active in her life. -she eats clean foods that she’s learned to love but treats herself to sweets because life is still too short. -she guards her peace and aloneness but still makes time for friends and family. -she’s okay with failing because she knows she can pick herself up. She’s me, I hope in the future.

[@8jaime8]

I’d be careful about viewing sweets as a treat. In fact, when you think about what the ingredients in them and what they do to the body, it’s the opposite of treating yourself well. Maybe view it as variety. You can have them if you feel like it, but you deserve better than to put too much junk like that in your body. I’m not trying to criticise what you wrote. It’s just meant to be helpful, because reframing this stuff is tricky - and a lot of overweight people struggle to give up their ‘treats’ because it makes them feel deprived. It’s one of the topics Mae covered. Hope that makes sense.

[@XOChristianaNicole]

“She’s me, I hope on the future.” Hope is dependent on circumstance - it’s total BS. If you desire something - fully commit and have faith, in yourself. “In the future” Why not now? If you want something, in the future - it’ll always be just that. In the future. Live in the present, doll. That doesn’t imply doing everything you stated perfectly, now - though, know that you already ARE that person you envision, NOW, and this is the process to it all playing it out and coming forth.

[@AdmCornFlake]

@@8jaime8 Nah, this aint it toward people who have EDs. It is absolutely okay to treat yourself and call it that. They're treats precisely because they're not meant to be a staple anyway, it's engrained in the word. Not sure what point you're trying to make with that distinction. Anyway, let's not demonize sugar. It causes a blood sugar spike, but most bodies are fully adapted and equipped to deal with this, though the effect is particularly negated if you eat your sweet shortly after a proper meal. This is because the sugar is absorbed slower from being mixed in with other stuff and the blood sugar rise cannot be considered dramatic, even with refined sugars. Anyway, we need a certain amount of sugar to function to begin with. Going slightly above that isn't gonna make you break out, fat, etc. So don't make people feel guilt over this, please.

I'm 6'3. Over 5 years, I went from 387-lbs down to being in the 190's today. The single largest mental change I had to make was rearranging my schema around food. When I was a kid, food was often used as a reward, or had while doing other fun activities, like playing video games or watching movies. Food, in my mind, was fun. I ate to have fun. The conditioning that shaped my associations around it was such that they weren't much different than perceptions around recreational drugs and drinking. Food was effectively a drug for me. I ate to have fun, but I also ate to numb emotional pain. I can go to the store and get my nice fun in a box rather than sit with uncomfortable feelings. And there's a build up of emotional debt with that. Doing the weight-loss for myself was nice in that I feel and look much better, but it led me to fix a lot of problems in my head too.

[@mashakakusaka]

I am Slavic, and in my country and family, leaving food on your plate is considered ungrateful, and as a waste of food. So, as a part of our mentality, I was always told to eat everything, and when I grew up, I figured out that I often overate not because I like junk food or snacking; I wouldn't say I like sweets and stuff. But my biggest problem is to leave the food when I am full. Especially when I moved to the USA with these huge portions at the restaurants. And I felt terrible leaving it on my plate, knowing I paid for it. It took me a while to learn how to listen to myself, and stop when I am not hungry anymore

[@aussiejubes]

I learned from a young age to diet because my mum was always on one, but damn she succeeded. I never have. She has the most diabolical willpower I've literally ever witnessed. She'd eat nothing but watermelon until she was so hungry she'd allow herself one meal. That was usually every three days lol. Or she'd do the pritikin diet, WW, whatever it was, she'd drop heaps of weight fast through pure steely will. She'd keep it off at least a year usually. Sadly I inherited none of that willpower. Just her unhappiness with how we look.

[@TonyTheTGR]

I've maintained a fairly respectable 165 lbs; but I think what I do differently is that I eat to feel GOOD, not to FEEL FULL. If I feel full/bloated, that means I've eaten too much. I eat enough that I'm not hungry or likely to be hungry for the next say, 3-4 hours, and just call it. Fear/Guilt/Shame of "wasting food" is another thing to avoid, it's an emotional manipulation - usually pushed by parents in your childhood - that is a complete non-issue that needs to be let go of.

[@Kidrobot016]

Im literally snacking while watching this and going, "Idont need this whole bag." This was really neat way to look at weight loss. Good job!

[@EcstaticTeaTime]

Hey, fellow snacker here: it really helps me to have a bowl that just barely fits a serving of a snack. I got mine at an Asian grocery store but if you go into a regular store and look at the condiment dishes, you should be able to find one that's about half a cup. This will hold a serving of cheezits. Many serving sizes for snackish foods are about the same size. I would measure it out at least the first time, put the bag away, and walk off to eat the snack away from the kitchen so it takes longer to get back to it/doesn't feel like it is worth the effort to go back for more. And there is nothing wrong with going back for more, just a reminder that each snack bowl is a serving towards your overall intake.

[@Kidrobot016]

@EcstaticTeaTime The crazy part is my wife has those exact cups at home. I've never used them, but I will now. I usually do intermittent fasting, and it will work for a while. I'm a trucker and some days stress me out more than others and I binge while driving and then that leads into the next day and so on. Next thing I know, I've gained all the weight back. If I keep the foods out of reach or in hard to access areas I'm usually good about staying on track with fasting. Portion control is definitely my weakest point so I'm definitely going to try and use this cup. Thanks for the feedback!

[@iheartkristal]

@@Kidrobot016hi! as someone who struggles with binge eating while working, i think you should try meal prepping the day before work or the morning of, im not sure what youre schedule looks like. if you can find a set of meals that has everything you need like your protein, carbs, fiber, etc. you can pack it in a lunchbox for the road. i can understand how difficult it might be to get a meal in before or after work but if you condition yourself to try, you can most definitely make a change for it. the only way to change what we want to is to do something different! even if making meals is too much, you can even snack on something healthier like fruits or pair it with something savory.

[@itsshaytime487]

i have had a similar experience whilst working on my own health and wellness journey! i'm so happy to see others choosing to put their happiness and health over unrealistic nonsense. the best thing anyone can do to lose weight, coming from someone who has struggled with her weight on and off most of her life, is to utilize self-compassion, mindfulness, persistence and becoming who you want to be NOW! i have successfully kicked my own tendency to emotionally eat within the last few months, and i no longer overeat (i feel fullness more appropriately now). on point as always, thanks for being here and sharing your wisdom, mae!

[@curlykeys8261]

This is great advice, I’ve lost around 30 pounds and have struggled with binge eating and food noise, what really helped me: 1. Healing the gut! So real actually. Having fermented foods like yoghurt, pickled ginger, sauerkraut . If you are desperately craving a food, that is a massive sign that your body is missing something nutritionally! And I didn’t believe it till I started acc focusing on my gut but I feel full and stable all day now. 2. focusing on healthy fats. I was taking a lot of weight loss tips from like, gymbros lol and they focus on low fat higher carb diets BUT as a WOMAN fats are soooo important for hormones + satiety. Carbs are cool but dropping them slightly in favour of having more fat helped me alot (things like avocados and walnuts) 3. Not everything that works for others will work for you! I used to eat oats every morning for breakfast because I thought that was the healthy thing. I always felt bloated and got hungry / energy crashes. When I switched to a Greek yoghurt breakfast with protein, nuts and seeds, I noticed immediate improvements in my digestion and how I felt. However you might eat the same thing and feel awful! Experiment and find out what suits your individual needs 3. Track calories but don’t obsess, take breaks as needed and monitor your weight over the course of weeks rather than days. If you haven’t lost any weight and it’s been like 2 weeks, you will need to adjust either calories or exercise. 4. It takes time! Don’t give up. You will have periods where you’re doing great and periods where things feel chaotic and off track. You’re in it for the long game ! 😊

Since last January I’ve lost 40lbs (was 180lbs at 5’1 and now I’m 140lbs on avg!) I still have 20 more to go but guys! Literally just start with 3 main habits/micro habits: 1. Drink minimum 6 cups of water a day 2. Cut out chips, soda, cookies, candy. You have to have really strong will but you need to want it BAD enough. Find substitutes for snacks! Limit to 1 snack a day even. 3. Take a walk, do yoga, or go to the gym at least 1-2 times a week to start. U don’t have to immediately start at 5x a week but slowly leech these habits into your routine. And remember to check your form! We got this

@@bubblysoda8149 np! Tbh once I’m in the gym I can be there from 60-90mins. Def at least an hour or a hardcore 45mins. The thing that made me shred the most weight was I would do stairmaster at every workout. 15-25 mins. 95% of the time it was 25mins but you have to build up to that. So the first two weeks do 5 mins, then add 5 mins and so on. Also, Don’t start w no crazy routine the first three months cus it’ll overwhelm you. Try out diff machines and workouts and see what’s best for you! My top 3 favs are stairmaster, leg or arm machines with weights (always start low and build up), aaand jump ropes (100x1) or squats! Just know most of my weight loss was cutting out meat to once a week, candy to once a week, no soda, hella water, let yourself feel hungry (it’s good). But yeah soz that this is all scattered but yeah the first 3 months I was down 25-30lbs. You have to want it bad tho !

omg ive been needing this 😭

[@pearl_greytea]

Ur honesty and openness is so refreshing! I relate to binge eating and the fad diets. Tysm for sharing 🩶

[@shere.2475]

One of the most interesting, informative and honest videos I’ve seen. Well done Mae.

[@azmr3]

You speak at the perfect speed girl, thank you for this

[@alejandraalonsos]

I’m so thankful for having encountered this video of yours. I’m currently battling anxiety, depressive episodes and I’ve been diagnosed with binge eating for a few years now. All that you explained really made sense to me and it really shifted my mentality in ways i didn’t think were possible. Thank you so much for sharing your experience Mae

[@LovePantsu]

This is the most relatable, healthy, realistic and at the same time helpful weight loss video I've seen on YT. Many of the points you mentioned I realized some time ago, it was great to hear the same from somebody else. Thank you for the video.

[@DonnaScott-zp5wz]

This video is a whole vibe! Thank you so much. I made the mistake of watching it during lunch at work and I made me want to cry because I could relate to this so much! I appreciate your transparency, truth and valuable insights! Definitely will like, subscribe and watch again when I’m in my own space 🪔🧘🏽‍♀️ Many continued blessings to you ❤

[@ivana_4866]

Your struggles resonate soo much with me. I'm going to try to follow your tips!

[@jenniferluiza8583]

What an amazing and helpful video! Thank you so much!

[@ranpopopz]

this video helps more than you think. ive been struggling with BED and food noise for years now and never found an effective or healthy way to deal with it. this video has shown me methods i never even considered or heard of. thank you so much

[@LizOdinseye]

This is the best video on the topic. Actually life changing!

[@soumyasaxena3535]

It’s so wholesome to listen all this and I’m so happy that I’m not the only one struggling… you are so realistic and practical!

[@mafaldapainho6145]

THANK YOU FOR THIS!! this mindset shift was really what I needed to hear. And I absolutely agree that good habits need to be carried throughout life. As soon as I stop taking care of myself, all the bad things come back. once again, THANK YOU for sharing

[@user-wl9ny3zm9k]

I loved this video. You are so relatable, the example of dieting and then eating something "forbidden" and then feeling so bad about that is exactly me. You provide so much valuable information and you are very well spoken. It was a pleasure to listen to you. In a lot of other weight loss videos I find myself waiting for the helpful piece of information and the person keeps talking and talking without giving any information of worth. You are very well informed and have a holistic approach which seems such a healthy approach, tackling the emotional, mental and physical aspects of weight loss.

[@tinaa1610]

This is soo important knowledge! I’m doing all of these things now and I’ve never been happier with my body or my self in general. I know I do good things like these mentioned here, and I can feel my body being happy for me. It’s a positive circle instead of a destruct one. Great video, new subscriber here!

[@idek1950]

Thank you sm because I need to literally lock in for this academic year for me

[@s.stevens4520]

This video is GOLD!

[@Keerexaurus]

YESS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS❤

[@bonjourcupcake]

This was a really helpful and healthy way of seeing weight loss. I’ve been struggling and I’m definitely going to try this. Thank you.

[@blu304x]

this was so helpful bc i wanna get more fit again 🙏 thank you mae!

[@nevershoutmakeup9623]

This is the best non toxic video about losing weight. It’s been such a struggle for me to find something that works and often videos I searched made me feel so insecure and put me back into ED mindsets. This is the best thing I’ve seen about losing weight. Healthy relationships with food is so important

[@TurnThePagePls]

Wow this is a video I NEEDED to see! It all makes so much sense

[@so1thought]

Love this!! You laid out some ideas that I've never previously heard of (hypnosis) and lots of real-life examples that helped me to apply some common tips more concretely in my life. Keep up the good work!

[@TheGenkina]

[@MixedBean]

This is so true. I lost almost 80 pounds by doing this. I’ve gained some weight back since but I was having a hard time getting back into this state of mind. So thank you for this ❤

[@nadinejanecalonia7690]

[@naemaalnuaimi7245]

This is one of the best videos i have ever seen, i have been trying new diets for 3 years and some do work for me and when i reach my goal i always go back to my old habits but now since i saw this video i feel like it motivated me to become my better self and now i know what i did wrong in my weight loss journey, so thank you so much!!

[@corvinisnotcarson]

I wish i could watch your video before getting to have ed, but well.. i really believe that there are people who watched this video and will lose weight in s healthy way. Thank you a lot 🙏🏻

[@Deeyemz]

Hi Mae!! Just wanted to say that lately I've been experiencing dysmorphia to the point where it's seriously damaging to my mental health. Your videos have helped me a lot in feeling that I should be kinder to myself and trust the process that I'm in. Thank you for putting videos like this out there

[@sansxverse]

this is a legit weight loss guide! thank you so much

[@nannuky1128]

I've already known so many things you've mentioned in this video, and even tried to do them myself, but romanticizing the whole journey is something I've never thought about. thank you so much for making this video! i feel like this time, I might finally succeed.

[@eniewagner2947]

Thanks for such an honest weight loss, glow-up kinda video. I’m so tired of the do this and do that to loose weight videos and it’s basically just drink water and don’t ever have junk food again. Gut health and your mental health is so important, so thanks for that.✨

[@hokubluesky4989]

Nice to see that there’s knowledge and wisdom in what you say. Well done 😉👍🏻. Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹😉
