How I Maintain Positive Body-Image (4 Tips For You!)

[@mariekinderman1183]

When I look down at my stomach and think there's "too much fat" I say instead "my body needs that fat to protect internal organs." You can apply this to pretty much any body part. :)

No seriously thank you!! I found my passion for vball from you!!!!! I just got back from a really good practice. I want to be a setter could you do tips for that? Thank you for being an amazing role model in my life. You are literally gold. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@theambitiousduck]

Im trying out for my school's team in November but I'm not sure which position I would play

[@leahanderson5467]

The video helped me so much I didnt try out for my schools volleyball team just because I held myself back because I thought I wasnt good enough, but you made me feel so much better and I am not going to hold myself back anymore. You are such a bright light in the world vic! Thank you❤

[@megcoles6390]

I stopped weighing myself a month ago and it so liberating! It's so good to stop worrying about numbers!

[@Ella-vx1og]

oh my gosh I'm currently crying because I had a stressful day with school and vball practice and im feeling bad about myself so this literally is exactly what I need rn

@@EmThrives thank you you're so sweet 🥺🤍

[@whydontwestan3470]

you are such an inspiration and role model for me. i have an eating disorder and have been struggling with body image for 4 years. i also just had volleyball tryouts and made the varsity team as a freshman. i am so proud of how far you've come and love you so much

[@caroltabora7617]

Girly your tik toks and yt vids always make me feel happy. As mid-sized girl I always get picked on for my big thighs or my lil belly and I was starting to feel bad bout myself but then I found you and your tik toks and started loving myself again so thank you 💗

[@Fac725]

‘Neutral’ is a great way to think about it

[@katiemurray8675]

You’re helping my recovery from binge eating so much better in so many ways. Please don’t ever stop. God bless you. Thanks you so much ❤️

[@karinacarstens890]

Love these tips!! What has helped me has been to stop taking pictures of myself for the purpose of going back to them to point out my flaws through the infamous two-finger zoom. I call that the zoom-in-of-doom. It's taken me a LONG time to be able to take pictures for purely enjoyment purposes and I love being able to positively look back on memories :)

[@nalita-ts2tg]

Your channel is really helping me get through ed recovery, thank you

[@sunlovingbeauty]

i’m excited to dive into the geneen roth books. sophomore year of college was also my darkest point, twins! haha i played volleyball and totally understand how overwhelming and consuming the lifestyle is. living with disordered eating my whole adult life so far has been rough but i’m excited to find more resources (including your youtube channel) to change my mindset. thank you for sharing!!

[@elisabethn2893]

The 2 first steps you listed was literally what my therapist had me work on as well since those are actions that will trigger the harmful behaviour. I still need the mirror-reminder from time to time, but it really does change a lot!

[@quinngonzalez7372]

"she's just living her life... she's pretty cool" best line of the whole video

[@codybenevides4628]

My bedroom has a huge mirror and I see my self everyday and I rly do point out my flaws. Now I wanna get rid of it cs now I see it’s a vid deal

[@jazmynpollard3242]

Um you should personally I did because it made me want to kill myself whenever I look at it so I broke it and threw it out my window I mean I still hate myself but it definitely helped

[@birdsbirdsworms]

i covered up my mirror with a tapestry or with positive stickers. it meant i could look in it if i actually had to (e.g. doing my hair or makeup) but i didn't see myself every day or stare at myself pointing out flaws automatically!

[@nathaliaramirez3526]

keep spreading positive, you inspire many, thank you❤️

[@nathaliaramirez3526]

[@victoriagarrickbrowne]

Thank you Nathalia!!! ❤️

[@reidon1203]

I love avoiding the mirror before going to practice. It really helps me

[@leahanderson5467]

Hey victoria this is my first comment on your channel but I just felt like I needed to say that you are an absolutely beautiful person inside and out, and I find it so endearing that you reply to your fans by name. There was never any question that you cared about your fanbase but you truly never fail at showing us your love and support. I just started highschool this year and am a very poor volleyball player, however your content always puts a smile on my face or helps encourage me to get better.

[@Jamie_jam9]

LOVE YOU VICTORIA!! thank you for been a great youtube influencer , can’t wait for your video next week!! ❤️

[@stevetakaba]

Hi Victoria! I love your openness and honesty. I have dealt with body issues since my early teens. I was overweight and was bullied. If anyone was wondering, having “fat boy” written over your face in your high school yearbook photo doesn’t help your self esteem. I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions privately. Thank you!

[@nicolesabolchic6798]

I would LOVE a video on like tips to stop comparing yourself and loving how you look instead of how others do/keeping up your confidnece!!!!

[@bethanywarmka6367]

I definitely struggle with the full length mirror. Looking at flaws instead of what my body is. I definitely will have to try the no looking in mirror method. Thanks for the upload!

[@-annakatelynscroggins8]

oh man I needed this! Im a 15 yr old middle on my team and I sometimes feel self conscious because girls say I'm not "thicc" enough. Thank you for this! you're such an inspiration and I hope to play volleyball in college like you! 💗💗

[@jessiangeline6829]

Wow! I liked all of the tips and plan to use them . I also plan on checking out your podcast . I also subcribed to your channel , I think I might learn something from you . Thanks Victoria !

I bought the Breaking Free From Emotional Eating book by Geneen Roth because of your recommendation and have been reading it the last couple of weeks!! Practicing intuitive eating has helped me so much with my relationship with food. I am in college and am finally starting to listen to my body and feel in control around food. All I can say is thank you! Victoria!! ❤️❤️ ps. super excited for merch! 😊

[@mickai2]

Having body positivity or positive body image kind of means that you should accept that fact that you will need to look at yourself. Avoiding looking at yourself just makes it harder for you to build a better relationship with your body bc it makes it seem like your body is wrong so your avoiding looking at it. I would start by looking at myself but replacing negative comments about my body with positive comments.

I rlly want to get that workbook for teens, but idk what to tell my mom when I ask her to order it😬

[@victoriagarrickbrowne]

Greta Kirsch just say “I heard of this really balanced style of eating I want to try from my favorite youtuber!” 😉❤️ haha but for real, its no big deal its just a new method of eating to learn :)

What is UP with sophomore year of college!! That was my WORST year too 😳 I wonder if there is actually a reason. I’m a swimmer, so diff than volleyball but also not different in terms of body expectations 🤪

Bro anytime i watch you, i just wanna play volleyball then in also I just love watching your videos

[@jazmynpollard3242]

I have been having a lot of problems with this and I have anxiety so when I stopped weighing myself I was severely underweight and I got anxiety thinking about weather or not I was still under weight and it would cause me to binge eat

[@jazmynpollard3242]

Also my friends like to tell me that I can’t have an eating disorder and that binge eating is just me having no self control and so I’ll stop eating for like a week and then I’ll eat non stop for a week and my friends call me fat or gross and the same with my parents so I’ll stop again and I know it’s not healthy and I have no control and I dunno what to do

[@kaithepanda2044]

Hey victoria I was wondering if you could maybe get some friends together and play some more volleyball together ☺️ Because I would love to see you guys maybe put together a pick up game. BUT the catch is you all play a position your not familiar with. Example: Maybe you could play a pinch server and Sam could play like middle blocker you get the idea ❤️
