STRUGGLING in a CONSERVATIVE TOWN ✦ BODY POSITIVITY

[@jillr759]

I’ve gained a lot of weight recently from immobility due to fibromyalgia. I’ve never felt WORSE. People treat me differently, I can’t fit into anything and I’m barely eating, I could go on for days but seriously it’s VERY important to me to be fit (I feel my best) and my love for fashion is endless! You Danna look fantastic! The clothes must feel great to zip up! I love your commitment and achieving your goals. Fat is just not healthy. I have heart and cancer genes all over my family. This channel is the best thing for me. Love you Danna.

[@kimwatts6338]

I have gained weight too. I also have fibromyalgia, but I am also suffering from five verbal compression fractures. And yes, people treat me differently especially my doctors. I’m not sure why.

[@montanadanna]

Yes! It’s all about feeling good! I’m so sorry you’re dealing with immobility, that sounds so painful and so difficult. Good on you for having a loving spirit and I hope you improve every day. Thank you for sending some love my way and sending some right back at ya. ✨💖

I’m a pharmacist has your doctor talked to you about low dose naltrexone it’s helped a lot of patients struggling with it just thought I’d share incase you want to ask your promary doctor 😊

[@vickierabovsky9166]

After 8 years of being undiagnosed and now living 5 years with late onset muscular dystrophy and fibromyalgia I am in the worse shape I did lose 40 lbs and it feels great but would love to lose another 40lbs but my muscles are in so much pain now I can barely life the blankets over myself or roll in bed. I love watching Danna doing a great work out! I try everyday to move walking around a large Walmart or Home Depot I still clean my home takes much longer but I need to try and save what I have!

[@heatherjoslin8291]

I think there is a difference between loving your body, being proud of your body, feeling healthy and proud of your body… And not only showing it publicly, but exposing it publicly in places, other than poolside, etc. I don’t think that feeling it’s inappropriate to be wearing almost nothing in a public environment where others are wearing clothing means that they are ashamed of their body

[@Candypk13]

Your commentary on this video came at a much needed time. I’ve started to make lifestyle changes and have only lost 6 pounds and have been hard on myself on how long that’s taken. But listening to you I realize that any weight loss is success for me even if it’s taken longer than I’d like ☺️ Thanks for the mood boost, girl. You’re the best 💜

[@marcyfalconer1275]

Dana, it's important to fit in your clothes!! I've suffered my whole life from R.A. and fibromyalgia. My Dr. told me years ago to stay as fit as possible .That stuck with me. Some days I would cry while doing exercises it hurts so bad but it kept me out of a wheelchair. Continue fitting into your clothes, it's an important choice. Blessings

More encouragement ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️the right kind. These vids are really helping me out. I’m thinking we include being kind to your self along with others. So often we are our worse critic. So good to hear your words. And best thing about you sharing how you worked out (the glow up) is that it really did make a difference. Started mine yesterday after your vid. It will be slow going for me, many mobility issues, but I know what I can do, and now I’m feeling more encouraged to do what I can. The trick with Fibro is to know when to stop so you maintain, then once the maintain is steady, add a bit more and maintain that. Doing to much sets you back to bed ridden and pain. That was my first goal, learn to read when enough is enough. And learning to enjoy taking care of me. Thank you for these vids! I’m going to rematch frequently!

[@montanadanna]

Oh my gosh, absolutely. I love that add on to the conversation! Thank you. We are our own worst critic and when I changed that voice in my head to love, I started loving others more. So true. I am so happy you're starting your own glow up. We all start where we start and just about improving. Sending you love and healing and so much love!💗

Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your humor and authenticity. Thank you for sharing your life. ❤

Oh, amazing. I’m happy you’re enjoying the tea and that you got to share your crochet with your loved ones. I wonder if grounding is helping me sleep, I need to read up on the benefits. Thanks for sending some love my way and for the support. It means a lot. 💖💖

[@BettyHorn]

Danna, you know me. You know I'm conservative. But part of my conservatism is NOT judging others. Maybe that's because I have been judged my whole life. And not only by women. But women seem to be more outwardly judgemental. I'm sorry you are facing that again. Makes me wish I was your neighbor. Personally, I don't care what people wear. It's appreciated if you at least wear something before you go into your local Walmart (if you know, you know) but I really don't care otherwise. If I don't like something, regardless of what it is, I don't have to look. I don't have to participate. And if I DO like something, or someone, I don't care about anyone else's opinion. Love you, Danna! And you have wonderful style.

I agree. I got a lot of backlash because I posted a TikTok about how I lost weight.

I used to be very active as a child, but I was always the bigger person amongst my peers. In my tweens I developed eating disorders and exercised tirelessly and could never lose weight. In my teens-early 30s running was my favorite, still wasn’t losing weight but I was exercising. Now, cancer and chemo disabled me physically and I hate it. I now require a walker. I developed lipolymphedema and it’s caused a lot of swelling from the waist up. Waist down I’m a size 12/14. Waist up, I wear a size 4x tshirt. 😢 Finally found a therapist just hope my insurance covers it. I have so much clothing for sale cause it doesn’t fit me anymore and I’m so broke I need to sell the clothes to buy a few more tshirts. I wish I had the energy and physical ability to do your workouts. I used to do a lot of yoga, but I have hEDS and yoga was making me hyper extend more than I had to.

the summer here started with a wee rain and today didn't go further than 64.4ºF I weight 236 pounds I don't really care what people think. I'm depressed and that's my way to cope with emotions. in 2019 I lost 110 pounds but then came the pandemic and I was isolated from everyone I felt a void. no one know how I feel or how I am mentally so I don't give a damn. I've always dress what I feel like. I love to wear white, gives me peace despite my weight. I don't wear black clothes. I like red, blue, pink, all the rainbow 🌈 I want to lose weight but I'm not ready yet and the meds and the pre-menopause don't help. I'm planting mental seeds to be stubborn because I don't have anyone to celebrate my achievements 🥺

[@CorinneAtHome]

I’m in York, England. We’re having a heat wave here, it’s about 26c which is a lot for us! Houses don’t usually have AC so it gets uncomfortable as our homes are built to keep heat in. As for other peoples judgments, I think people are always going to judge and have opinions on things whether we think it’s right or not. But just because someone has an opinion doesn’t mean we need to hear it so they should just keep it to themselves. They may have a right to their own thoughts but they don’t have the right to voice it to others when it’s unsolicited. Especially when it’s negative!
