MY FITNESS JOURNEY | Opening up about my struggles | Advice for your journey | Making it a lifestyle

Woo finally another upload! Sharing my whole fitness journey from before social media and opening up about past struggles I haven't truly felt comfortable sharing until now. My journey since being online has been very positive but getting to that point was filled with a lot of highs and lows.
I'm very nervous to post this but hope if anyone else is struggling this video can help to show you that it can definitely get better!
I hope you enjoy the video!

Thank you so much for this! I found your channel a few weeks back and have been binge watchin your videos. I am a 35 yr old Mum of 3, and I've always always struggled with body image and with my relationship with food. I've Yo-yo dieted my entire life since around 10 yrs old. I've had all kinds of disordered eating issues (Mainly that Restrict-Binge-Self Hate cycle), but have also struggled with bulimia. I struggle with Chronic Pain (Migraines, and wide spread pain) and I am now the heaviest I've ever been and I feel sick. I literally feel ill, heavy, uncomfortable, I can't do things I used to be able to do. I've hired a Dietitian to help me get on track with diet, and also to help me repair my relationship with food. I just wanted to comment to say that it gives me so much hope to hear your story, and I will be following a lot of your workouts. I've recently downloaded Krissy Cela's Workout App, if you ever launch one of your own, I'd be first to download it!! 💜💜

I found you recently and you’ve really inspired me. Thank you for being so open about your struggles because it really does help

[@angelastrange2681]

Aw bless you Hollie I have just recently got into watching your vlogs and having struggled with eating disorders myself in the past this one really struck a chord with me as it’s taken me years to enjoy a healthy relationship with food. I was bulimic/anorexic at uni and I feel like it’s still the “shameful” mental health disorder, whereas it’s become so acceptable to talk about depression, anxiety, etc, eating disorders still don’t have the recognition/acceptance that is so so needed. You’re so brave to talk about this. You look amazing with your strong, powerful body and you are such an inspiration! Sending you lots of love and strength for your fitness journey 😘👏🏻xx

[@jenncooper3570]

Holly, this was incredible and I was left just wanting to hear more and more (you were definitely not being annoying!). You’re journey is such an inspiration and I think we all need to hear more of the struggles behind the ‘progress pics’! Thank you for sharing this! X

[@hollyb_fitness]

Thank you so so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@keziah-mai3156]

You actually made me cry a little… it’s crazy how relatable you are. You are totally raw and yourself, which is so enlightening when it comes to these subjects and the fitness world in general. You made me realise it’s totally normal to feel like those hard times are inescapable. But thank you for showing me it gets better xx

[@hollyb_fitness]

Ah that is honestly so kind of you. It is more than normal, we're all in this together angel, you've got this!xx

[@andyandrejka8414]

Loved this video ❤️ I never knew what you went through! I am so happy for you where you got! So so proud! I have been where you’ve been, struggled with bulimia, anorexia and binge eating for 6 years, and I can’t emphasise enough how freeing is being able to eat whatever you want ☺️

[@hollyb_fitness]

So proud of you for getting to that point ❤️❤️ thank you so much!!❤️

[@graciemooreGM]

Idk why this is making me emosh, but I can’t cry I’ve got tan on 😂😭! I feel as if I’m the younger version of you right now and seeing how far you’ve come makes me determined to get to a healthy point with food and exercise too. Thanks you for sharing your journey so far, it’s really helpful to hear 💗

[@helena003]

Thank you so much for opening up about bulimia I know how shameful and sad it can feel. I personally have been struggling with it for almost two years and it’s been absolute torture on my body and mind, it’s hopeful to hear a healthy relationship with food can be reached because right now I’m 18 and feel like I’ll never be able to have a normal relationship with food again :( would love if you could discuss more when you are ready it makes me feel a little bit less alone xx

[@hollyb_fitness]

Honestly you are not alone! (Feel free to message me on instagram anytime!). It definitely can get better, I know exactly how you feel but I promise you it can and it will xxx

[@savannahspanellis5011]

this is the first video ive ever seen of you but I am incredibly proud of u for opening up and talking about your experience. 100% deserves more attention

[@hollyb_fitness]

That is so so lovely of you, thank you ❤️

[@bethaniesharyne6932]

Found your channel and I’m obsessed!! Could you consider making a realistic morning/evening routine, more what I eat in a day/q&a so we can get to know you a little more! xx

[@katiebrown3298]

Thank you for sharing! This was so brave and you are so relatable ❤️

[@meganmatthews5309]

This was so honest and inspiring! You are incredible ❤️

[@laurenjadee]

I found you on TikTok a few months ago and then checked out your IG content. It was one of the first times I saw someone with a healthy lifestyle that seemed achievable for me to build my own routine around. After years of being too scared to get into the gym I just joined last week and can’t wait to start getting stronger (although it’s still terrifying 😭), thank you Holly 🙌🏻

[@hollyb_fitness]

I'm so proud of you, you've just taken such a big strep, even if it's terrifying now I promise it will get so much easier ❤️❤️

[@lowri5528]

Such a breath of fresh air!!! Love all your content

[@erikacole528]

i am beyond proud of you. forever my inspiration 💗

[@lauranunderwood9380]

I appreciate this video is 3 months old but I’ve only just stumbled upon your channel! It’s so amazing to see “influencers” get so raw and real with us so thank you ❤️ I’m about 2 weeks into my journey but I’d LOVE some more in depth info about Georgie, like how it works, pros & cons etc because I have the absolute FEAR of the gym which means I end up walking on the treadmill for 30mins instead of anything else 😳

[@inspiredby_lara]

I've got a terrible relationship with food - skip breakfasts most mornings and I'm so unhealthy and I want my kids to be inspired by me, ive started making changes from watching your tiktoks and I want to thank you for your videos xx

[@hollyb_fitness]

that is so so lovely to hear! I'm so glad you're making such positive changes!xxx

[@annieomara229]

This has helped so much… out of interest what are your macros? X

[@emmareilly3633]

When you were in a deficit how much did you average at losing each week? 1lb or more? Also, can I ask where your gold bracelet is from the one you always have on the wrist with your fitness watch xxx

[@amendippanesar]

Looking good fam

[@giuliadelaj]

How much of a deficit were you on?
