Hi Kelsey! From a fellow anxiety queen and comfort eater, this moment at 8:45 --Ooh man! I felt it. I'm not a therapist but just wanted to share some wise words mine said to me recently (and I'm paraphrasing): life's not meant to be a series of linear successes. It's okay to fail a little, make some mistakes. Try to practice being kinder to yourself when that happens. As long as you stay motivated towards your goals... obvs listen to your own therapist for life advice over a rando on the internet lol. But yeah I just wanted to share that. I love both you and Michelle. Y'all are beautiful souls in this world. Congrats on this journey, you kicked ass!! XD

[@staceymauger4235]

Hiya Kelsie! From a fellow chronic pain spoonie I just want to say Congratulations and thank you! You are a great advocate for the spoonie community and seeing you do this is empowering for us all! Keep it up girl. We’re all behind you!

[@potatosaladd]

Tbh it's not landing with me either. Like, I don't hate her as a person, but I wish she would be serious when she should be serious... She chose to partake in this program. Couldn't finish the whole video for the first time on these transformation series.

[@jennylove2746]

Reference: 20:10 “my idea was if I joke about it; then, that’s my way of coping, and now it’s like when I go to the gym it’s no ---- joke.” She transformed emotionally as well as physically, and that’s equally as important.

[@kiwiequis4144]

@@potatosaladd using humor to cope with an extremely stressful situation or to distract herself from the pain she’s in does NOT mean she isn’t taking it seriously.

[@c.t.o.4200]

Not spoken about enough is the fact that the transformations you do are ACHIEVABLE. They're not these EXTREME changes that people won't ever be able to keep up with.

[@Gobbygoblin]

anyone can keep up with extreme changes if you just work hard

[@eefmorph]

Tobias Hillier-milton Some people just physically can’t. Also, burning yourself out is very unhealthy for your immune system and mind. So some people don’t want to pressure themselves to do things that they feel they have to do,

[@c.t.o.4200]

@@Gobbygoblin Whatever you do to achieve a physique is what you must do to maintain it. Most people don't lose weight or gain muscle mass because they want to spend their entire life maintaining that exact level of activity.

[@strawberryfox8819]

@@c.t.o.4200 I think what they mean is the transformations many fitness influencer boast about, which mainly targets weight loss in very big amounts and in a very short time. For the general human's health. Although most people search for a quick solution for weight loss, it's often not sustainable for the person because they either chose the easy way like a medication or something similar or simply overworked themselves.

[@Supernatastic]

I feel what Kelsey is feeling about the food... I breakdown when I can’t eat foods I enjoy because I use it as a coping mechanism and for comfort. That’s 100% my biggest weight loss hurdle

[@Gobbygoblin]

you can eat all the foods you like even if theyre "unhealthy" as long as ur eating in a calorie deficit it doesnt matter. diets are bullshit

[@Tri_monster]

You just have to find healthy foods that you really like, or find healthier alternatives for the foods that aren't so good for you.

[@MicukoFelton]

You can replace them with healthier options.

[@mikejensen2137]

make working out your new coping mechanism. takes work, but once you do it, its 10x better

[@buzzi2k]

I totally get you. Definitely getting over the emotional reliance on/connection with food is a really important step! I found that initially thinking about adding rather than cutting back helpful - adding glasses of water, adding delicious vegetable dishes, adding nuts, fruit etc. Over time my palate has changed getting used to and preferring foods that are less sugary. I also took up resistance-training (@Mindpump's Anabolic programme) Now having whole-food dishes feel like a treat because there doing me good and building strength! My body has started to change without me having to think about that as a goal. It's taken me a few months but I think it'll last a lifetime now Xxxx

[@Vegoonery]

Michelle hiring a gourmet chef to teach Kelsey how to meal prep Thai food was so over the top thoughtful and beautiful. I want to be a friend like that.

[@Sc-oy7ks]

I love that you want to be a friend like that, as opposed to saying to want a friend like that.

[@ccaarriissaa]

I love seeing her a thin person talk about their unhealthy relationship with food. Most people think it’s just “fat” people who have unhealthy relationships with food and lifestyle. Just because your thin doesn’t mean your healthy some people just show their unhealthy on the outside because some gain weight and some don’t. I appreciate this so much because lots of people have unhealthy food relationships fat, skinny, big and small it’s just sad the bigger people get the stigma. Kelsey is so inspiring in this video thank you for this.

[@minihwas]

This! I'm average weight but so unhealthy, I eat garbage and never exercise, but my friends are just like whatever you're thin. I don't care about my weight I just want to be healthy!! I recently started exercising more and drinking less fizzy drinks so I'm getting there

[@ccaarriissaa]

[@Aperralll]

The things in these videos can also be applied to people in school. You have to remember these adults work and are very busy too. Anyone can work out. You can work out in your bedroom or by going on a run or a walk outside. Anyone can find ways to choose healthier food options, regardless of school or work. These are all personal decisions and routine changes you have to make. Creating a good routine around school& home work and not procrastinating long term homework projects will give you time to implement a work out routine and healthy eating. Just remember it’s not always a fast change. Little steps.

Hey Michelle! I'd love to see some sort of therapy/mental support incorporated into this series! A lot of the people you feature on here are clearly struggling with body issues and forms of disordered eating/unhealthy relationships with food and body- and I think it would be a really great addition to your series to shed light on how important it is to also heal your mind and to work on building tools to strengthen that mental relationship with food and body through this process, with a professional counselor.

[@everydaysaschool-day7517]

Totally, totally, totally agree!!! Sometimes I feel her videos perpetuate the 'thinner is better' mindset.

Hi I’m puting myself out there & seeing what happens haha I’m 19 years old, born in El Salvador, raised in the U.S. (California & florida) Last year, at age 18- I moved to Taiwan (yes- ASIA) I am an outcast here in the daily life, but get to meet a lot of wonderful people, the last year I spent learning Chinese and now I’m starting my university degree here, I have known change, instability & discomfort my whole life, broken through a lot of obstacles, my parents divorce, moving around at least 8 different schools, countries, bullying, and social anxiety. I have been an advocate for self growth and self love and I practice it as much as possible, but I realized the one thing that I can’t break through on my own- that I need to reach out for help is- my relationship with having a healthy body, I see myself in Kelsey where my relationship with food is unhealthy, I see it as happiness, although I do enjoy eating healthy foods it’s even harder for me here in this country to eat the way I’m supposed to, I have always made excuses for my lack of effort into making my body the healthiest possible. I have cried countless times and put myself down, I hate shopping because I don’t like looking in the mirror and seeing how it doesn’t fit well, if you see this Michelle, and you are able to take on an international project, you would be the help I need to finally enable me to meet myself in the best version.

[@andreapadilla5686]

I need a friend like Michelle!

I have chronic health/pain issues and food is one of the comforts that I use when it’s so bad all I can do is cry. I often feel like I can’t give that up and watch these videos thinking “oh, of course they can give that up, they don’t understand how bad I hurt.” I just want to say watching you Kelsey In this and other things gives me so much hope and inspiration.

Women should not shame other women for their insecurities. It’s empowering to know that no matter your circumstances you can struggle, and you can overcome.

Personally, I hate diets that "Take away" Food isn't just a thing we put in our face to fule our bodies, it is a lot more, it gives us emotion, it gives us connection, it brings us memories, it brings us calm. So yeah there can be a real emotional battle to "Take Away" a food from a person, this is why people yo-yo diet, because you take everything they eat, and everything they do, and all while mildly judging everything they are, rip it all from them and expect that they'll keep doing this thing forever. I've been doing an "Addition" diet, instead of taking things away I just make a point to add to what I'm eating, and for those additions to be healthy, so it's not like I can't have those cupcakes or starbucks or whatever, it's just a matter of making sure to eat a nice healthy balanced meal and drink a large glass of water before I present myself with the option to have those snacks, KNOWING those snacks will be still there tomorrow, or the next day, so I don't HAVE to binge on them, there are no cheat days because I don't have to deny myself anything, I just have to make better choices. If I order out I have to make sure whatever I'm getting is balanced with vegetables, fiber, protine, So I can get a pizza but I gotta get a side salad and the pizza's gonna be a small with veg. I dunno I have a lot of issues with weight and went through a lot of fights with disordered eating so while I was watching this seeing Kelsey's reaction to losing the food she loves just really bothered me on a personal level, because diets, lifestyle changes, being a better version of youself shouldn't come at that kind of emotional cost where you push yourself to the point of not wanting to do it anymore. If you're pushing so hard you want to quit, you're pushing too hard.

While I agree those types of things need to be a slow progression of changing her diet, a sugar detox does amazing things for the body. Sugar is so bad for you, and even worse for someone suffering from chronic pain. It is just pure fuel for those cells to be inflamed and make the pain worse. So she should move slow and take away one item at a time, but work toward not eating any refined sugars. There are plenty of sweet foods that aren't white sugar-based, and you can retrain your ideas of what your body craves. This is also a 6 week KZbin transformation. It has to be sped up for views.

Kelsey describing her relationship with the gym at the beginning is me! 🤣

[@gymchick76]

Crying so hard when Kelsey said that she's going to the gym for all the spoonies that can't. As a fellow spoonie, who definitely cant go to the gym, thank you for speaking about this. ❤️😭❤️

[@katiecupcake7317]

❤

[@TheCreativeLifeStudios]

YES!’ Love Kelsey! Thank you for putting a voice to the idea that you aren’t allowed to have a problem with your body unless you are a certain size!! It is too prevalent in the “body acceptance” movement right now and it needs to stopped. Everyone is entitled to their own journey. Congrats on yours. You are amazeballs!

[@sheerinesa6362]

Challenge accepted suggestion : learn professional dancing with the JABBAWOCKEEZ!!!😁🙌

[@atalmeowlaurent1847]

Thank you for making this video with Kelsey, great representation for the chronic pain community. I was in the swimming team of my country and I’ve been grieving for 10 years and also sweets became my grieving food. The video helped me realize that and also inspired me to do strength exercises and don’t kill myslef with cardio, gym swimming. Thank you so much love

[@ononono7016]

She is so eccentric. All the noises and unnecessary motion probably help to stay lean

[@Jilly_Neutron]

I truly love how you tackle health and wellness as a whole in these "makeovers." You respect people's boundaries. You don't belittle them when they make mistakes. Best of all, you honor the mind-body connection. It is the best reiteration of (for lack of a better term) "diet culture." For that, I commend you. If I may, though, offer a suggestion: Brian seems like a lovely guy who truly enjoys helping peple, but his title (nutritionist) suggests no formal education or credentialing. Furthermore, he gives some pseudoscience based advice such as dairy (I'm a vegan for ethical reasons, but the evidence is clear that dairy itself is not harmful to health), gluten, and carbohydrate avoidance. Modification, reduction, and sometimes avoidance can definitely improve health for certain populations, but it is not standard nutritional advice and is unnecessarily restrictive (unlikely to be sustainable).. I would suggest moving forward to use a Registered Dietitian that follows established guidelines and evidence based practice.

[@ginjagurl1330]

I cried at the end! So sweet

[@roshid6119]

One of my favourite series! Love seeing people shine ✨

[@lily3376]

Every time I start to lose motivation, Michelle uploads a video inspiring me, it’s like she reads my mind! I won’t give up Michelle!

[@UGHITSJOE]

This is fucking GREAT

[@nadiethetmaung5875]

The fact that I related to her so much gives so much motivation. I struggle with food too and I would beat myself up if I cheat. Only this year I've learned to not beat myself up and finding that u did too, it really warms my heart

[@v-mw]

Don’t think I’d ever fully recognised how linked my issues with food and overeating were with my chronic pain, it’s so hard to keep that comfort in what is often a really uncomfortable life whilst making healthier food choices

[@beanhope8739]

I'm going through a lot of physical changes right now, and rebuilding my relationship with food and my weight. And this made me cry like 5 times. thank you so much.

[@rahmabouklioua3060]

I LOST IT WHEN KELSEY WAS EATING THE FOOD AND HITTING THE CHEF AND SAING "MMMMM"

[@charmainephasoana6850]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@tiffany8749]

"it's like a uti on my stomach" is the best thing i've heard all year and you better believe i'm going to be saying that every single day i do abs

[@cammackenzie9386]

I put on a couple of pounds and needed motivation to start working out again. Literally started working out consistently yesterday and I really needed this video

[@beannamedhaley]

SO EMOTIONAL. Was not expecting to cry. BUT I'm also not surprised, because every single Fitness Makeover video makes me cry. It's so inspiring, heart-warming and incredible to see people begin their fitness journeys with you. Y'all rocked this one hard!

[@Small_Rose]

I would like to see someone who is in recovery for an eating disorder. I also think it could be really helpfull to had a mental help with the food and sport. Often people struggle and it's mentally related. Otherwise I love this serie and I learn from it as well! ♡ (sorry english is not my primary langage)

[@NerdyHomosapian]

Snowbunny Jazmin’s extreme body make over. She is recovering from an Ed

[@Small_Rose]

@@NerdyHomosapian I agree, this was a great video but I'm more talking about the people who need to gain weight while recovering from it :)

[@citrusscout]

As a young spoonie who atm can't work out because they have yet to get treatment I am so happy to see this, even if it's a year later it still makes me so excited to see people who have chronic pain disorders especially doing these things

[@beearriee123]

Can I suggest saying “progress results” instead of final results? Just cause it’ll point more towards the lifestyle change!

[@yalitam]

Hii im a 20 year old rolling potato as I like to describe myself, but after watching some of your videos 6 weeks ago I decided to start running. And today I ran my first ever 3k run. ( when I started I couldnt even run 200m) thanks so much for your inspiration dedication and motivation ❤️

[@Emmsley14]

I used to love the BuzzFeed videos with you and Kelsey! So glad to see her taking care of herself :)

[@BrennanChilds]

awwww the boyfriend part at the end made me tear up. You can tell they both really love each other!!!
