I have never heard someone speak about “reverse body, dysmorphia“ before. This is exactly how I feel. I will feel beautiful until I catch myself in a mirror somewhere, or I see a picture of myself. Or especially if somebody referred to me as chubby. It’s not as bad now that I am in the 130s. But when I was in the 160s, I felt just as attractive. It never affected men’s interest in me. It’s crazy to hear somebody else talk about it that way.

[@ybanzen]

this is just regular body dysmorphia; there is no such thing as "reverse body dysmorphia". body dysmorphia means you are not perceiving your body as it is; whether you think you are bigger or smaller than you actually are. its a disorder of the brain. the brain is not interpreting appropriately what the eyes are seeing.

I went from weight lifting 5-6 times a week, Pilates, and meal prepping (I was miserable, and only lost 5 pounds over 6 months) to walking everyday, Pilates, intermittent fasting, and eating what I enjoy in moderation and losing 6 pounds in 3 weeks. I'm so much happier this time and don't feel like I have to restrict my eating as much. Absolute game changer.

[@songbirdlallen]

Hormone changes in women affect weight gain in women no matter how they work out. Check with your doctor about your hormones and check your cortisol levels. If your cortisol is high you shouldn’t be doing high impact exercises, it puts stress on your body and raises your cortisol levels which helps with weight gain.

[@sasharie7483]

Fasting will probably increase cortisol levels. Your body seems stressed already from all that activity. You should eat hormone balancing foods first to help decrease the inflammation then go into fasting maybe a month later or so.

It’s crazy how you’re only 26 & so wise, so open to learning. I am not a diet girl just because I dealt with an ED for years when I was younger & it can be very triggering. However, I did need to go on my own body journey because I was so bloated 24/7, dealing with stomach ulcers & gaining a lot of weight in my tummy without realizing it. I started fasting from 9pm-9am, drinking my greens every morning, changing my eating habits, cooking at home 5-6 days out of the week & working out consistently this year. I took a pic in the beginning & as the months have gone by, the difference is so evident. Granted, I’m not done but I know the best is yet to come!

Eat more protein to aide with it too. If anything talk to a nutritionist.

AHHHH !!! She’s doing a hormone video!! This is giving big sister vibes, and oddly feels like better advice than fitness influencers cause of how raw it is.✨

Facts and from someone who know a ne who shares the REALity of it all. The feelings, the views on self and perception of others.

HAILEY YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON TO ACTUALLY INFLUENCED ME!!!! I see so much of myself on you and I’m inspired ❤️thank you

[@chelseajackson9367]

This is what I needed!! I did this EXACT thing over this summer and felt my best! I revisited a stressful relationship and I’ve gained like 10pounds but the inflammation makes me feels like it’s 30pounds. Watching this has really put things back into perspective for me. Thank you for sharing!! I’m starting tomorrow!

[@Morgan358_]

“Reverse body dysmorphia” is me to the T. I almost fell over when I took my measurements today. I’ve always been on the heavier side but I gained 70lbs in a short period of time two years ago due to hormonal issues and have been carrying since, but I genuinely don’t feel that much larger. Subconsciously I must though because in this time I‘be begun to avoid social situations and even going into the grocery store so I can relate to that internal battle/dialogue. Intentionality is something I really need to focus on going into 2024. Love your outlook and appreciate your openness. ❤

[@Simsanimelover456]

I’m so happy you did this. I love hearing people’s success stories in weight loss. ❤

[@rickimcfarland2269]

Same. it's right up there with watching survival movies

[@tatianaroberson001]

Same! It gives me so much motivation that staying consistent I too can be a success story!

[@AliBay1339]

Perfect timing! Started intermittent fasting just 2 weeks ago and can definitely see the change. Thank you for always being vulnerable to share your story and you have definitely always looked amazing!

[@betaren21]

Amen!! Thank you for the inspiration Hailey! My highest weight a few weeks ago was 185. I so want to get back to 138, but I would be excited to be at 155 now. Beyond the numbers though, I just want to sit comfortably in a chair without my stomach pressing over my jeans. Oh, it’s so uncomfortable! Thank you for sharing your progress and self-care!! And, Happy New Year! 🎆

It’s really crazy how fasting does wonders. I started my journey in October. I’ve lost 20 lbs so far and definitely want to lose a little more. It’s so hard but it’s getting easier! I use to count calories but now I use photos, it’s a great way to keep myself motivated.

[@deborah8056]

I just started intermittent fasting a week ago I was wondering what type of fasting is better. What times did you fast ? Also I stopped looking at the scale and counting calories now too instead I just take photos of myself. Because ultimately that is my goal to feel and look good I don't care what the scale says.

[@glowingwithbri]

@@deborah8056 I’m not sure which type is better. Everyone’s body is different so the same techniques might or might not work. But I fasted from 6am-2pm everyday. I drink broth in the mornings, water during the day and only eat between 2pm-7pm.

[@unique4532]

@@glowingwithbribetween 2-7 what did you eat and drink ? And how long are you fasting for ?

[@glowingwithbri]

@@unique4532 I eat salads, fruits and veggies. If I do have things like pasta or rice I have small portions of it. Then just water and I do allow myself a little juice during this time.

[@theover50fashionflipper]

Hailey I'm 57 years old and I love watching your videos. I watch a lot of stoic philosophy videos and YT recommended me you. Thank you, YT. I usually never comment but this time I will. You are the me I wish I was in my twenties and thirties. If I were you back then, I would have CHANGED THE GAME and the entire trajectory of my life. At almost 60, and an only child, I missed some social interactions which causes me to be socially awkward Watching your vulnerability and honesty is refreshing and helps me navigate through life, even at this age. Life is not over until it's over. Even reading your tribes comments is refreshing. The words you speak are universal for all people of all ages and backgrounds. The things you speak about have truth and we have all experienced your topics once or twice. The Gen X generation (mine) were never taught self-love, self-confidence, or even elegance. Most of the time we'd just beat you up, or cuss you out when emotional, because we were never coddled or learned to master our emotions. We had to stay outside or inside, so sometimes we stayed outside and just learned to survive. lol. I just wanted to say thank you for being consistent and thank you for your topics on all self-care subjects. We older women are still struggling with this aspect of life. When we were growing up we had 7 babies on our hips, rooms to clean, and a man to take care of, loving self was a here-and-then luxury. Much love to you. And just know your audience goes way higher than the 30's.

[@haileygamba]

Thank you for sharing that! You are seen HERE ❤ glad to have you apart of this wonderful tribe

[@lecamacho3438]

Great analysis @theover59fashionflipper everything you said is so true to form… Hailey has given us guided hope… her gift of being so sincere is inspiring, and her weight loss method is so amazing 👏

[@Latoija]

I fasted 14 days no food and lost 36 pounds in those 14 days. I did a video on it. It’s on my YT. ❤❤❤

[@heyshayland]

I am literallllllyyyyy working on this for myself right now. When I say Divine timing, I am just.. thanks girlie! Also, SO proud of you!

“No food will ever make me feel this way” in regards to confidence ❤ your videos are such a hug help in setting my mindset for this new year.

[@misssmexygurll]

I hear you girlll!! I gave birth 6 months ago and kept going to the gym but I felt very bulky. Then started the 22hr fast and I’m literally slimming down without even working out! And my body has gotten used to not eating so much !!! We love a good fast❤️❤️

[@mistresstiffany6177]

I do love intermittent fasting. I’ve lived an intermittent fasting lifestyle for three years and I’m still a plus size woman but I used to be a size 26. I’m a size 18 now, so I’m happy with that. I do want to get down to a size 14 I do know that I have got health issues. But the one thing I want to say here is you do not have to be “skinny” to be healthy. My goal is just to be healthier.

[@kimberlyegbunike6861]

This is my current weight I can’t weight to be a size 18

[@cocogoesloco6433]

Congrats!! Skinny isn’t a goal for me I’m a 14 and would love to get back to. 12. Let’s knock this out ladies.

[@AliseSloan]

One thing I love about your journey is you never equated your size with beauty. It was about bettering yourself. Always beautiful but I love that you are feeling your best! Also I love that you've been through it yourself. Some professionals have never had weight issues so they don't understand the mental side of the journey.

[@haileygamba]

THANK YOU 🫶🏽🥹 you are so correct in this statement

[@sydneymoman]

Currently binging your videos and the commentary about not feeling the need to work on things/areas you've never struggled in is SUCH a great point and something I'm going to journal on and pray about. Also, definitely realized recently that insecurities are major things that are holding me back! Burying things is NOT helping.

[@rnjjuliet]

The algorithm is algorithm-img today! 🎉 Needed this, thank you so much for filming and posting.

[@miracleebube7873]

I discovered your channel 4years ago and I must say your glow up is massive and beautiful . I literally watched you evolve and achieve the dream body you always wanted to have! This is inspiring ❤ I love it for you❤

[@melissajeanette87]

Just a little PSA, I gained weight in 2021 and was diagnosed with PCOS. Prior to that I was fasting and felt constantly fatigued. I later learned that fasting isn’t recommended for women with pcos so it’s always good to check with a Dr and get your own evaluations ( which is what you did) because diets are never a one size fits all. 💖

[@TheSHAY1806]

you should do more research..My friend has Pcos and loss 50 pounds Doing intermittent fasting..everyone is different.

[@misskay6831]

Fasting is beneficial for everyone. Just have to find the best time frame that works. We are not far removed from our ancestors biologically. They were not eating all day everyday, they had to hunt for food

[@fazf9643]

Try the 8 hour eating window thing to start with maybe? My friend has PCOS and that helped her - she stuck to a calorie deficit in that time and worked out at least 4 times a week. Everyone is different we just need to find what works for us :)

[@AmillionRays]

My friend has PCOS and recently started fasting a few months ago. She looks and feels great. Just found out she's expecting!

[@andreaferreira7932]

I have pcos and doing similar diet to her throughout this year and lost 22 lbs.

[@genesiathomas1586]

Thank you for the transparency Girl, I've struggled with intermittent fasting but understanding change is uncomfortable and staying consistent will always be the key to seeing results.

The fact that you are able to recognize what’s going on with yourself and do something about it is everything. Also I’m loving the green top on you ❤

[@arlenesofiabonilla5202]

The green look is so cute! Hailey do your nails green in January, its giving abundance.

[@airyfairyfae]

I recently started intermittent fasting and it’s been a game changer!! I still eat most of the food I normally want (even sweets) just in smaller amounts, but honestly the fasting makes my cravings a lot better too. I also have some belly issues and I have noticed that improving as well. I’m really trying to get back on my goals during these holiday times to come out bright and refreshed for the new year. Love you Hailey ❤️

[@tiabranch680]

1st of all. This green is your color! And love this episode. And yes When you look better you feel better. Not about being super skinny but just feeling comfortable and confident

[@neens2cute]

This was a wake up call for me…the inflammation is so bad. I have previously fasted. I’m always thrown off when stress comes into my space. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@cintiabolanos]

Talk about having a glow UP!!! ❤ I started intermittent fasting 2 years ago and now I am so used to it I love it! I am a NASM CPT and I have a wellness science degree and I can assure you, you are correct!

[@Itsmedollfacejones]

Im currently 1 month alcohol free and i see the difference! You're right we need to be honest with ourselves, figure out the problem and stop it! The wayy body looks now is more important than drinking! ❤️❤️

Girl, this video was recommended and it’s heaven-sent! I’m starting this diet this week. Fasting is helpful but it wasn’t what overall helped you. Changing the diet and cutting out certain foods and alcohol helped tremendously.

[@BC-zm4vc]

Mom’s a baddie! And so are you girl ❤this is so inspiring for me to get myself back together thanks for sharing 🫶

[@definingdarlene]

I’ve done intermittent fasting before, and it worked. This video reinvigorated my desire to do it again after a tough year and some weight gain. Thanks ☺️

[@user-xs5hx1iy6w]

I LOVE the way you speak about how you’re perceived in society. A lot of people would be too shy but I am so happy you talk about this. Your confidence is beautiful and inspiring, thanks for the video ❤

[@EssenceEtienne]

Wooooo you really did something when you said “external validation stopped me from wanting to to better myself” that’s literally what I’m dealing with right now. I’m confident but I know God has a set body weight for me and I know I’m not at it. My body is drained and beaten down from my weight gain.

[@honor_martin]

This seems like such good advice. I definitely think the girls are waking up to how inflammatory our foods are. I didn’t personally have a weight issue, but I stopped eating processed oils almost 2 years ago. That alone has changed my face shape, skin, and over feeling of health. I used to roll my eyes at people who say that our modern health problems are caused by the food we eat, but it really is true.

[@quimarim.1689]

I have never related to 6:59 this more than anything in my life. I get compliments and told I’m fine all the time and I know I’m beautiful but I can also tell when my health is declining and my energy and libido are off and my hormones and weight fluctuate wayyy to much too quickly and it’s uncomfortable and confusing. Thank you for this video! I needed to hear I’m not crazy lol.

[@reginaayansola]

Hailey, I lost so much weight in January by listening to this video weekly. It's March and my weight loss has paused. Thankfully I haven't gained weight. I am going to get back into following this video again. I'm excited to get back into it. My clothes do fit waayy different and I have been taking pictures and so glad to have found this video!!

[@graciela.aceman]

Thank you so much for sharing your testimony. It feels like I’m literally listening to my own thoughts come out of your mouth. I was at my best or “smallest” a year ago but I’ve gained so much weight and I feel like I look soooo different in my face and literally everywhere. Your story and your struggle with your weight is literally like mine, and I turned 26 this year too 🙃 God is messing with my algorithm and literally brought you to me because this is what I prayed for. Again thank you for being so open about your struggle and story! It makes me happy to see you’re feeling your best and are confident in your skin again! Blessings 🤍

[@Itsdjenab]

I also have reverse body dysmorphia I would look in the mirror and be like “yess I look tf good” but then I take a full body picture and be disgusted with myself, I started going to the gym 4 to 3 times a week to get my body moving, but it is so hard to stay motivated. Thank you for this video honestly, I been thinking about fasting for a while and this video has motivated me to start!

[@brepederson01]

Hailey you always make us feel seen. My husband encouraged me to start intermittent fasting a few months ago. It’s definitely hard at first but now I manage at least a 16/8 split. Spending the last month of the year cleaning up my diet and adding some form of exercise even if it’s just walking to my day. Loving the process; excited for the change/results. ❤

[@chumasotomela]

The very first time I am totally confident that something is gonna workout for me. I promise to come back with a testimony. After my baby i gained a lot of weight and every option I tried I have been discouraged along the way because it was taking forever to see the results. Girl Thank You

Hey girly me too! We should check back in in a few months lol.

[@brisagonzalez6256]

Im so happy I found your channel. I love how you’re so real about weight loss. One really needs to hold themselves accountable. I have already started my lifestyle change and already feeling better.

[@goddessbabe7026]

I love how consistent you are with all your informative and motivational content. These videos has been so helpful! 😘😘

[@gabbybuycks3150]

I’m so happy this is working for you!!! I fasted for years and have hit a plateau and gained over 20lbs. I’m 5’7 180! This is motivating me to try harder

[@sandracaballero6101]

God this is me right now. I’m short and 162 and I’m beautiful but… I KNOW I have to lose 30lbs cause I know I’ll feel better etc etc.

[@vancouvervixen4253]

Wow. I loved this episode and loved what you said about the reverse dysmorphia thing, I’ve never thought about it that way. I’m very petite, 5’1, and my happy weight, the weight I perform and feel best at, is 110lb +/- 2-3lb. When I was a dancer i was about 105, but today?? I’m about 125lb. People constantly tell me I look great, etc, but the reality is, I don’t FEEL good. I’ve decided I’m done accepting the current weight I’m at - which is TOO MUCH for me regardless of other peoples opinions!! - and have invested in a consistent reformer Pilates practice, cleaned up my diet, and committed to getting back to feeling good at the right weight FOR ME. I started down this path mid November and I’ve actually now also decided to completely cut out alcohol even after this short period of Keto/intermittent fasting … it’s snowballing into a serious get-focused, get-it-together period, even despite the holidays!! Intermittent fasting alone taught me I CAN go without and it won’t kill me lol. Sometimes that’s enough to give your brain the opportunity to just relax about it haha. Ps- as an RN I’m glad you didn’t jump right on ozempic, it has some really scary potential side effects. Glad your mom stepped in and stepped up for you. Great advice she gave there, also she’s gorgeous! I like to break my fast with home made chicken broth ❤
