I’M TOO FAT FOR MY WARDROBE 😩… Let’s Talk About Weight Gain & Outfit Ideas

[@toyamarie75]

Thank you for your transparency. That’s why we love you. You always keep it real. And yes, please give yourself grace. You’ve lost the weight before, if it’s your desire, you will do it again. You’re beautiful either way. ❤

[@tenwaystowearit]

Thank you so much Toya! I really appreciate your kind words and I know others will as well. Love you sis! 😘♥️

[@toyamarie75]

@ I love you too sis! 😘

[@l.g.4451]

I agree wholeheartedly.! You are a beautiful person, not because of weight or anything else. I applaud you for being willing to show it off the honest way that you do.

[@dweakley1]

I ❤ you Alicia and I have been there! I Understand.

[@kaliha55]

💯💯💯% thank you for your transparency

[@Marcie_does_it]

This video deserves a million views. This is, literally, all of us at some point in time. Thanks, Alisha, for the tips ❤

[@tenwaystowearit]

Thank you so much, Marcie. 🥰 You are so kind. I really appreciate your encouraging words. I’m so grateful to have such amazing ladies like you on my channel. I’m truly blessed. 🙌🏾♥️

[@yolandadowns]

Hey girlfriend. Thank you for being so transparent while still helping us. We all go through periods of time where we gain/loss. I appreciate this video more than you’ll ever know! ❤

[@lorettasofowora8603]

ALL of us!

[@AngelaMashelle]

All I have to say is you look gorgeous with or without the added 30💕 and prayers for a speedy recovery for your sister

[@RaesOfLight]

@angelamashelle !! I love when I see another favorite KZbinr comments on another one of my faves!❤

[@alwy1511]

Although a sensitive topic, I applaud you for addressing this topic. Yes, our bodies change, and I love that you're giving us ideas on how to dress, regardless of size.

[@tenwaystowearit]

Thank you so much love. I really appreciate you. 😘

[@JuanitaMudd]

Gurrl stop playing… you look amazing! I’m out here in LA with you and hope that these wildfires aren’t impacting you and your family. Stay safe

[@tenwaystowearit]

Thank you so much Juanita. You’re so sweet and I appreciate you. They trying to take us down out here with these fires. I live in Pasadena and had to evacuate yesterday (well I was supposed to 😅) due to the fires coming down close to where I am. I honestly can’t believe what’s happening. The KZbinr named Lovelyti has a good video discussing some interesting theories on why this is happening. I found it interesting. Stay safe my love. Sending you big hugs my L.A sister. 😘♥️

[@vghook]

Not a fullback for the Miami Dolphins😂😂 I truly appreciate your transparency. You're beautiful. Take care of YOU and the rest will fall into place❤

This is a great video. Weight gain happens and we still have to get dressed! Thinking of you and everyone impacted by the fires, that all the residents and first responders stay safe.

[@ThereSheGoes0425]

2024 was rough for you, YES give yourself some grace as you go on your weight loss journey. Life be lifing chillleeee, I've had health setbacks myself, so my heart is with your sister. One step at a time, you got this sis. ❤

[@mzneti8467]

Gurl you have my RESPECT and ADMIRATION!!!!. Yesss, , , this is not what we Ladies like to talk about and we spend our whole life trying to Hide. We have all been there done that. . .but never talk about it like you just did. You look Fantastic in every single thing and I hope you continue to LOVE Yourself.💝

[@tenwaystowearit]

Thank you so so much sis. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your kind and encouraging words. It’s woman like you that make me love doing this so much. I’m blessed to be connected with so many beautiful souls. Love you! 😘

[@connieefurulee]

Needed this. I feel encouraged to “try” a little harder with my wardrobe. It’s depressing when you’re used to looking good and stylish. But you’ve gained weight and gotten older. And started to think fashion doesn’t matter anymore. (In my case I’ve gained 100lbs+ and I am a 70 yrs older woman.) (Mostly older women get accustomed to being invisible anyway) And when your clothes don’t fit anymore and look like 💩💩on you. But you want to/have to function normally. Often I’ll say, I have to get in what I can fit in without caring much about my image. And usually just don’t go out, or stop going out because of how you feel in your clothes. Which makes the depressive mood worse. But after watching your video, I feel encouraged. I know…when you dress better not only do you look better, but you always feel better about yourself. So this video is very important. Thank you. Just wanted to share that my go too looks include a lot of fabletics. (especially when it’s a good sale) They carry large sizes and can be styled in a variety of ways. Thanks again.

[@lorithompson2409]

I just want to let you know that I’m a 55 year old grandmother who just LOVES you! I’m so happy I found your channel and I watch and learn from you everyday and I’ve come to the realization that you and I are a lot alike and I look forward to watching each and every one of your videos and I have learned quite a bit from you and I want you to know that you have made an incredible difference in my life❤

[@tenwaystowearit]

Omg thank you so much Lori! I truly appreciate you and I’m honored to have you here. Sending big hugs and lots of love. Happy New Year! 😘♥️

[@KiraJ717]

Gurl! Your body is stacked...My back look like a pack of hot dogs rolls. I wish I could gain weight and still look tight. Thank you for this video because the struggle is real. Yes jumpsuits and shirt dresses are my go to when I get fluffy.

[@aliciathomas2302]

THANK YOU ALICIA, for your TRANSPARENCY. A lot of us women have gone through this and are going through it now. Again, Thank You 💕🙏

[@tenwaystowearit]

Thank you so much Alicia. I truly appreciate it love. The reassurance I get from you amazing ladies is Godsent. I’m so grateful. Thank you. 😘😘😘

[@mssouthernlady222]

You are a beautiful, sweet woman, who keeps pushing no matter what. No, darling. You do not look like a linebacker so stop it. You are the prettiest linebacker I have seen.

[@monicashelton3603]

Thank you for your transparency...you look beautiful...I try to stay away from terms such as, linebacker, big back, fat, etc. those seem to be the words "fit" people use to degrade those of us that are "curvy" or thick.

[@nicolmonique6575]

I liked the video before I even watched it because of the realness of the title. I can relate.

[@staceyscott3847]

One of the realest,been following you for a while.😊

[@tenwaystowearit]

Thank you my dear. I appreciate you being here and supporting me. It means so much. 😘♥️

[@twashington1317]

I applaud your transparency. You inspire me. You are beautiful and have a amazing spirit to match! I love that you are a real woman with a real figure and you slay! I too gain and loose due to medications. I keep a range of sizes in my closet. Last spring I lost quite a bit. Was playing around with new styles and brought smaller sizes. Got plenty of acknowledgement, feeling myself. This season I have gained. Not to mention i live in a cold place. I do a lot if emotional eating in winter. I started watching your videos to remind me how to be stylish no matter my size and how much I love fashion. Dont put yourself down. We all have figure flaws. Proud of you for getting back out to the gym.❤

[@elenorgreen1594]

You still look good gurl!!! 😊❤ Thank you for this. So real life…..so relatable. You are a top tier influencer. Praying for you and your family during this transition.

I appreciate you sharing the great and in-between of being a grown woman with highs and lows of weight fluctuations 😢. We all go through it, and I sincerely appreciate your transparency sharing. No matter your size, you always look amazing. Stay amazing and safe, Queen. Peace love and light ✨️

[@NaleneSamsKent]

Thank you for your transparency. In six months three family members including my mom passed away so I gave 30 also. Morning, my mom, I didn’t realize for several months I had gained weight. I can’t fit it. I’m trying to get my mind right or die.

[@jacksonv1965]

You my dear are an "influencer" of the very best kind. You give such practical and useful advice, I really love your channel 🙂. Originally I came here for the fashion, but girl...sis... I stay because of you ❤

Thank you! Thank you for the full transparency! I literally went to the dr yesterday to confirm that I increased my weight by 40 lbs. This is the heaviest I ever been and I’m clueless on how to dress! So thank you taking us along! It’s giving me the confidence to move on during this time and finding clothes has been an issue! So thank you ❤

You are the GOAT. Thank you for doing what so many women are simply afraid to do. I'm punching every smart mouth nasty comment. I love what you do for women. Thanks Aleshia. We are right there with you. To all who have that 30 to loose be consistent, be patient and what Aleshia is demonstrating is that until you get to your desired weight goal Get up, Dress up, Show up and NEVER Give up ❤

So much respect to you for your truth. Thank you, we can all use some grace and realize beauty is not just what you see.

[@autumnzellers3855]

Alicia thank you so much for this video. I’ve struggled with weight all my life and totally understand when you can’t fit into your clothes at some point. You’re so beautiful and I hope you’re finding hope, peace and grace amidst all the things you’ve been through lately. Thank you for your smiles and for sharing.

[@jan854]

Miss beautiful Alicia ❤❤❤ I love spending time with you! I'm so proud of you for being so transparent and candid with us, especially showing yourself in a bathing suit.

I still think you look fantastic. We all get what you're saying, and I think sometimes it gives you the momentum to start, just by talking about it. Style is style, regardless of size. ❤

[@Kaystaybell]

TWTWI Thank You for being so transparent I love that u r always so honest ! I’m dealing w/weight gaining for a few different reasons but I’m ok w/it I jus try to do better day by day not trying to stress about it b/c as women the older we get the harder it is to stay the desired weight (I’ll b 72 n March) I giv myself Grace as well as 🙏🏽 that I’m still here Love your content ❤

[@deniseoates7147]

This is a very relatable content and I really am grateful for openness and reality of it all I just had a birthday myself on January 8 which made me 63 and it gets to a point where I really am looking at the need to maintain muscle strength while getting older. It best to be in the best condition you can be so illnesses or whatever don’t knock you off your feet so easily because I’ve been dealing with a cold since Christmas Eve. I did not have enough strength to clear all the snow but just stop after 2 hours

[@MsEZG]

I haven't completed the video as yet but I am thoroughly enjoying these looks, especially the sweats and red blazer. The inspo looks are also really trendy Great job Alisha!

[@yvettekirkland5950]

Praying for Southern California and your safety. When I got to my heaviest I said oh hell nah. But I lost 60 lbs last year and I’ve been able to maintain. I still have a few more to lose but my problem is that all my clothes are way too big. I’m trying to sell some or get rid of some clothes so I can build a new wardrobe. You got this.

[@Dierdra-x1z]

Thank you for being honest about your weight gain..., it happens to all of us beautiful women!!, and just keeping it real!!, Love your content and keep up the good work. Happy birthday and New year.

I love how honest you are and the fact that you embrace YOU! I also love that you encourage us to make sure we don’t just let ourselves go either! It’s the GRACE for me! I just love your content. STAY REAL. STAY RELEVANT. But, most of all, STAY YOU because there are enough FAKE INFLUENCERS to go around! Thank you for all you do. Oh, and I said a prayer for your sister and your family and I pray that she will have a full and swift recovery.🙏🏾🤗💕

[@seekingenlightenment2026]

This video is just another demonstration of how confident you are, Alicia, and that’s what I love about you. You are so helpful and motivating. I love your positivity and transparency. I’m with you on this journey to get healthy and fit again!! Love the scenes in the gym. I’m heading there this morning. Thank you for continuing to share. ❤

Transparency isn't always easy. I commend you for showing your problem areas. That's very big of you. When I lost my adult daughter unexpected to a health issue, I tried to not gain weight, but did. You look good in your bikini Sis!!

Hi Alisha. I just love you girl. I appreciate your realness and vulnerability on your channel. You look good no matter what size. Absolutely love all the outfits you put together. Did you say gut? Where? And still manage to keep that butt tight. I wish! Just take your time getting back to where you want to be. You have been through a lot with your health, being there for your sister and God knows what else. Please give yourself grace. Forever a subbie. ❤🙌🏾🙏🏾
