I'm 65 years old. I was a fat kid that was picked on all the time. Had trouble with my legs when I was young. I started lifting at 13 years old. It saved my life. I got bigger and stronger and more confident over time. Like you I didn't have a clue what I was doing. We didn't have internet or even gyms...Parents bought me my first 110 lb weight set. I improvised a lot. Then I bought a weight lifting book by Bill Pearl and followed his work out. Over time I found out what worked and what didn't. Eventually I met other weight lifters and powerlifters and started really training. Now that I'm old, I don't lift heavy any more. Mostly functional training with Kettlebells, Dumbbells, Bulgarian Bags, Heavy Clubs and Steel Mace....but I'm still doing it 5-6 days a week. Keep with it Patty, its a wonderful journey with a great many lessons to teach. There are Sooooo many rewards. The best advice I could share is always keep it fun. Love your personality, and the energy you put into your videos. I enjoy watching. Best to you in 2023.

[@Wakenbaketv]

I was a body builder and athlete from age 15-22. I then got pregnant, got scared to lift the way I used to and started to get lazy, I stopped completely. I developed an eating disorder much like you, and I also developed a drug problem for about 10 years. It was bad. I lost all of my muscle, you could see outlines on my body like you could tell I used to be fit, but I became skinny flab. I am now going on year 5 of being clean and sober, I’m 31 years old now, and I picked up lifting again 3 weeks ago, and I’ve literally never felt better. I feel like I have even more discipline than I ever did when I was at my body goals back in the day. In the process of finding the perfect workouts for me I found you on KZbin shorts, and something about you really pulled me in. I immediately subscribed and watched this video. You’re like… a huge inspiration to me and I appreciate all of your content. It’s been very beneficial and helpful, very motivational. Thank you! I hope to resculpt and look better than I ever have. I have a goal of getting my booty and abs back by July. I can’t wait to see what happens!

My sister whos 24 now was a victim of the thigh gap trend, she was a champion cross country runner and our family naturally have big thighs and tall bodies, I wish I still lived with my family throughout those years instead of packing off to go to university, maybe she could have confided in me more as my mum wasnt good at that kind of talk. Anyway 3 relapses later, shes now in one of the best universities in the world to study her subject and I cannot believe how far she has come! I first saw your mobility video and something about the way you present your workouts, your humour and general self really remind me of the way my sister is. Then I saw this and when the eating disorder part came past, jeez it cut me deep! There isnt many YT workout things I find I can gel with, too fake or artifiicial but I really like that you just keep it real. Big loves from Yorkshire, UK!

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I agree, thigh gap is STILL a mental influence on me as an adult, but part of the reason i like your channel is that you don't cater to that "thin is best and most beautiful" aesthetic for women. I recently started going on my own health/nutrition journey the last few years, and i stopped being satisfied with just being toned/skinny; i wanted to be STRONG. The sheer amount of muscle you have is inspirational and i hope that i can get swole too 😊 Edit: It's not trauma dumping if someone asks you first, sometimes you need to let things out 💜

[@hainleysimpson1507]

She's not huge sis. She's slim but I think she's gotten to her genetic limit without focusing exclusively on getting muscular which requires a lot of time, energy and money. Women can't get bulky,. What women think is bulky is not bulky. I blame companies, shit parenting and marketing.

[@arcane018]

Everyone is sharing their experiences soo here's mine. I'm 19 (a girl) and still currently improving my overall health. I'm not in any sports when I was a kid, but definitely an athletic type. I want to join in sports at that time (even now), but my family didn't have enough money to afford me joining in sports. I didn't have any eating disorder but I was diagnosed with PCOS and still taking my meds to this day. My current goal this time is to be strong, not just to lose weight to better my condition. It's hard for me, but I'm trying to be better. I don't have enough money to go into the gym so I workout here at home, plus I am busy with my school things and saving for my tuition, etc. You are one of the peeps that inspired me to do workouts and I was really aiming to be muscular too. As the time pass by, I am starting to enjoy and learn more about different workouts. Hope y'all well and wish you guys a goodluck (including me) in your future journey.

[@Bjorn_SM_03]

I was always the fat outcast kid then the homeless twig with a drug problem. But then I met the love of my life I got my first home and started hitting the gym and she was always there in my corner cheering me on. I was the happiest I’d ever been whenever we where together but as the wise Wade Willson once said “life is like a terrible tv show with only brief commercial breaks of happiness, and this had been the ultimate commercial break, and now back to our regular schedules shitshow”. In September 2022 my beloved fiancé lost her year long battle with cancer and just like that my whole world fell apart I was ready to die… and it is still hard it will never get easier but I am back to the gym and when I get down I feel her cheering me on from above. I’ve made so much progress and I’m just getting started my life’s purpose is now to win mr Olympia one day in honor of Izzy’s memory if it’s the last thing I do idc. -sorry for the trauma dump y’all but that’s my story Stay Strong 💪🏼 Stay Pretty 🤩 Stay Resilient😈 I love you Izzy ❤️🌻

When I was in first grade, this boy would flex in front of me everyday. I was determined to make my muscles bigger somehow. Being a kid, I had no idea how to do that. So I asked him how and he showed me how to do push-ups, pull ups, and sit ups. So I did those everyday after school and improvised by using our tree for pull-ups. After a while I stopped, but then puberty and severe depression hit me. I went to several mental health facilities for self-harm and learned about coping skills. I remembered how much I enjoyed exercise and now I’m back on that grind to get stronger, physically and mentally. 💪🏼

I was scrolling through youtube shorts one day and came across Patty’s “bro, just tolerate it” tiktok. My mind was blown, I thought Patty looked amazing and from that moment I quickly felt an overwhelming desire to get healthy and get myself to a gym. I looked up some different beginner programs and eventually I built up the confidence to start actually entering the gym. Although it’s only been 2 months of consistently eating better and working out I am so much happier and I’m so extremely grateful that I came across Patty’s videos 🥰

Seriously impressed by your honesty and transparency. Thank you for being brave and telling your whole life story. Sharing things like this takes courage AND confidence. I believe it also contributes to the healing process when you're open and honest. I started lifting and managing my nutrition when I was 18. At one point I most definitely had body dysmorphia. Looking back, I was in INCREDIBLE shape. Everyone else saw it, but I didn't. After about a year of lifting, I ended up tearing my labrum in my left shoulder and having surgery to repair it. LITTLE DID I KNOW that this one simple surgery would CHANGE MY LIFE FOREVER. After surgery, I was sent home to recover with a cryo-cuff and a METRIC SHIT TON of prescription painkillers. It didn't take long for me to realize how much I loved the feeling that hydrocodone gave me. My labrum repair turned into a 9 year struggled with opioid addiction. I lost everything to it, including my physique. BUT I am back in the gym, managing my nutrition, and making gains again. At 30 years old I'm ALMOST in as good of shape as I was when I was 18 and I've been sober for almost 3 years now. So when I say Thank you for your transparency, I want you to know I truly mean it, and that I also truly mean it when I say you inspire me to be a better version of myself.

thank you! it took me a looooong time. much of it just being from being embarrassed (or still in my disorder) but once i started being more open, i realized alot of people can relate and that helps us create some sort of connection which is pretty cool. your story is incredible! addiction is no joke and still so many people dont realize how easy the slip can be from presciption to addiction. congrats on the 3years of sobriety! thats a huge accomplishment (and congrats on the come up back with your physique💪💪)

So from that day i slowly i got into lifting. At this time i felt for the first time in my life the joy of putting so much effort into something really hard and painful and really felt it meaningful. And until this day I still feel the gym as something that gives me life.

I blew my back out just as the pandemic hit and couldn't get in anywhere soon so I rode out the recovery at my house. It screwed me. Permenant nerve pain. No doctor could help and no pain meds. I am a disabled vet and this made me about lose it. I was drinking and getting fat again. Then it hit me. No one is coming to save me. So now I get up everyday and do the workouts my back and left shoulder allow. Then right to a scorching hot shower for my back so hot it makes my skin so red it's almost purple. It's constant pain, but ya know what? I'm starting to like the fire this injury has put in me. I reminds me that I'm fighting for my life once again, and that puts my mind at peace.

I know this comment is 10 months old, but I can't help but comment how scary this is. I, as a disabled veteran, pretty much suffered from the same exact issues. Two back surgeries and a left shoulder surgery. Almost at the same time too. I was a healthy 210-220 during most of my time in the service, I was at my peak. Then, after the aforementioned injuries and navigating the pandemic, I quickly jumped up to 242 pounds. The heaviest I ever been. It sent me spiraling down an endless void I never thought I would come back from. However, I am now back in the gym, losing weight and even back to 3 plates on every compound lift. I NEVER thought I would achieve that again. There is hope, just keep grinding and persevering! I hope you are in a better state of mind and health compared to 10 months ago!

The last couple of weeks I've been stuck at a certain weight, and I can't seem to get below it. My brain SEES the solid muscle building in my legs and arms and SEES my clothes get baggy and so on...but my brain also just sees the number on the scale not move anymore despite being in a calorie deficit. This video is exactly what I needed to see. Thanks for putting your story out there or I probably would've gone even further into a calorie deficit. Muscle is the goal and not being a super low weight is ok. I need to overcome these thoughts and keep pushing on.

Just gotta find what you love and stay active. Weightlifting has definitely been a lot of fun and that feeling you get just feels amazing.

[@elis8133]

Dear Beef, you were one of my role models when I was in recovery from my ED and developing a better relationship with my body and the gym (2021). You helped me shift the focus from shrinking myself to getting stronger. Now I gained around 20lbs mainly of muscle and feel so much better, stronger, and happier. Hearing your story makes me admire you even more. Abraços do Brasil 🥩

[@Sofiasaleem666]

I thought I was alone in being at the peak of my ed whilst being active in the gym, and then entering into a borderline horrific relationship right then 😭 People never really understand how messed up it is that your focus on how you look just completely shifts to a person and it takes a hold on you like nothing else, but yet it can be a blessing in disguise??? Idk 😭 But your story is so inspiring, keep up what you’re doing patty ❤️

[@meganalfajora3991]

Yeah hearing that in this video really opened my eyes. I actually laughed in disbelief. It is definitely messed up that Patty/you had to go through emotional trauma in order to regain power and confidence in yourself. I was also in a toxic relationship and once I got out I felt so refreshed and was ready to devote all my energy back to myself again.

[@MonsterHeroCrazy]

i just wan't to say thank you so much for explain all your fitness story, i did'nt know i have a ED, until i became aware it's not normal to not eat at 14 yo, but your video motivates me to accept that path i took (im 23 rn). Also go throw a VERY bad relationship, and feels like we can relate a similar story, from very far distance... Saludos desde Chile, Sudamerica. Keep all your hard work and funny videos c: , i love them a lot

[@PositiveVibesChangeLives]

My story is similar. I was also a competitive gymnast. Eventually, it led to an eating disorder, and I was surviving off an apple and some pretzels a day while working out 3.5 hours 5 days a week. Sometimes, I'd have to run to the bathroom because I would almost pass out, and I didn't want my coach or friends to know. I never went to a treatment facility, but it is still something I struggle with today. After having 4 kids and getting really back into fitness, I found you Patty, and you help keep me motivated. Thank you for being you and for your amazing content!!

[@6thgraderfriends]

Oo when you said you missed school for three months and only one person asked...I felt that in my soul. I was only gone for a whole week and was actually sick, never got an eating disorder, and only one person asked where I went. Not even the teachers asked. I feel like three months is an even bigger deal.

[@mommymei]

I just started going on my fitness journey and it’s really hard for me because I have a binge eating disorder. I’m glad to have someone to look up to and someone who I know overcame their own obstacles. It helps knowing that there are people in this world that are not afraid to share their experiences in order to make others like myself feel comfortable. I love u mom, and I won’t stop until I am as great as you:)

[@theleanbeefpatty]

i know the pain of bingeing ...both physical and mental...so you're not alone. there is life beyond it..the path isnt always easy but its worth it! daily battle that get's easier over time. im super glad my stuff helped you feel comfortable 💕 i wish you the best on your journey

[@yongjinnkim9207]

So touching to listen to the story. In life, we might get some chapters. Sometimes we are down. Sometimes we are full of vigorous excitement. Throughout the life history, the most important thing is that nothing is permanent. We have to be aware that these harsh times will end someday. And this time of euphoric excitement will be vaporized someday. To cope with the up and down of life, and to be a dignified, undaunted person, You have to rely on yourself, Love yourself and Be yourself. Also, Be a best friend of yourself.

[@vegasdaemon]

Great and inspirational. 42 year old dad here. I've had ups and downs with fitness. Went through a big breakup right before COVID and decided to take charge. Hired Steve Zim (look him up, great celebrity trainer) to be my personal trainer and set me up with a program. Learned the basics of fitness and tackled it. Had the best body of my life during COVID. Then, new job, ups and downs, new relationship (which is absolutely fantastic). Restarted my journey and am determined to tackle it. Have a wonderful powerhouse of a girlfriend and I want to keep up with her. She inspires me. So now I'm surrounding myself with positivity and inspiration around fitness and you're one of the accounts I follow to get that dose of gogetitism. Keep kicking butt Patty!

[@neogator26]

Awesome. I, personally was a tiny kid that competed in gymnastics for a bit, quit and then graduated high school at 5' 9" and 110 lbs soaking wet. I joined the Army and learned a bit about lifting during deployments. One deployment I got up to 170 lbs. but I was around 6' tall by then. After the military I contracted and found out a ton of contractors did steroids. I spent 6 months researching test, steroids, estrogen blockers and more importantly... nutrition. I found out exactly what my body needed naturally and then started a very small cycle. I got tremendous gains from the small cycle to the point where it really pissed off a workout buddy. (He'd been taking steroids secretly for months with less gains, hehe). I stepped up my cycles as I cycled on and off over 18 mos. I got to 200 lbs after fighting my genetics and was a beast! I quit my contract right after a bulk cycle due to a bunch of factors and surprised my family for Christmas. Once back in school, working etc. I dropped 50 lbs. I had a 5 month semester where gym was an option and gained back 15 lbs in about 3 mos but have never been able to maintain the strict diet and routine I could when I contracted in Afghanistan. Since then I've been trying to get back into shape to help my girls with their tumbling for dance (areal, back handspring etc.) and about to get back into climbing and repelling along with bodyweight stuffs on rings and floor with some macebell training mixed in there (never be the reason your shield wall breaks!!) Useful fitness is the only thing I almost have time for so keeping up with my kids is my fitness routine! lol. I love watching your story and videos. It's awesome seeing fit happy people and you defiantly motivate me to make more time for fitness. Keep being you, telling your ongoing story and motivating people!!!

That's very interesting as personally i am very protein oriented as much as i love couscous and spinach lmao. Congratulations on the progress of your journey! The confidence you have now is a testament to how feeling good about yourself and being healthy brings out the true inner beauty

[@iamkatiefritz]

Honestly if I didn’t find you on tiktok I don’t think I would’ve truly started caring about my health. For the past 2 years I’ve been off the deep end with addictions to alcohol and smoking, and eating very unhealthy with minimal exercise. I was over depressed and doing nothing about it, around august is when I noticed I need to make a change in my life as my doctors were worried about my health at such a young age. Putting me on medication that my parents didn’t need to take till their 50’s! I quit smoking then and started eating healthy but wasn’t really pushing myself. Then I found you and your content and realized as a female I can push myself in the gym and achieve the dream of be healthy and built. In November i started going to the gym and tracking my food to make sure I’m actually getting protein in my diet because like you, I sucked at eating enough protein. I’m hoping to continue this fitness journey, and revamp my channel to be a video diary of my fitness and over health journey! (Of course I had to start 2023 of with a cold after traveling, but I’ll be back on track once I’m better!). I just want to feel happy in my body again and be able to do the things I used to do to my full capacity. Thank you Patty for being an inspiration for people, but especially women who want to get fit and jacked. Thank you and happy 2023!

Go girl 💪🏼 Patty is my inspiration, I also started going to the gym because of her. I just did exercise with my body weight and bottles, I don't know how to count calories yet, what do you recommend me?

[@iamkatiefritz]

@@vin_rouge180 I recommend using the MyFitnessPal because it’s easy to look up different types of foods from restaurants and brands! Plus it gives you an outlook of how much macros you are eating too! Plus the app fluctuations how many calories you should be eating when you add your exercise in the app so it’s not to restricting. Of course be cautious with counting calories because if done in an unhealthy way could lead to problems and a potential ED. In the end, it’s what I use and I love it! OH and you can track how much water you drink too!

Hi Patty

[@myallucky3569]

When I was 16 (a year ish after my dad had passed and I had been SAd) I started kinda finding meaning in my life again and started looking at how poorly I was treating my body, and how just bad I felt constantly and I just decided to do something about it since I am almost an adult (something I wasn't sure I'd be one day) and if I wanted to be an adult for a long time I had to take care of myself, my dad had actuality died at 40 from liver failure which I'm sure contributed to the fact that I couldn't handle the thought of not taking care of myself and I just changed my life in basically a day cause I wanted a better future than what my life was leading to at the time.

My path in fitness began and continued with the sole purpose of improving my self-esteem, in 2019 I played soccer and they beat me in strength, until I decided that that would change, on the other hand I had low self-esteem accompanied by the thought of "a trained body compensates an unattractive face. Currently I have been training calisthenics for 4 years, with ups and downs, but I keep improving and trying to change my self-perception. Thank you Patty for inspiring me and so many people.

Lean beef patty your are my inspiration when it comes to my fitness. My fitness Journey started when I was a teen in middle school up til now, I will go to my middle school fitness center a few days a week that’s where that began my fitness journey. After middle school I attended high school and I would go to the fitness center there for a few days a week there and during my senior year I did a senior project which was a fitness inspiration video and I asked some friends to volunteer. Then after high school went to college and continue to work out from there as well and that took like months. And like you said when the pandemic hit it did not impact me as you but I was able to do some at home workout programs, and so now I have not been working out but I’ve worked out for the past two days and today I may need some help in tips on nutrition. Thanks again you’re such an inspiration to me as well as Miranda Cohen. Maximilian Moore

[@Sweetenerheart]

i grew up being the most athletic kid in my family, i obviously had a bigger body then most people around me because of this, big quads, wide shoulders, etc, i was never overweight though. when the pandemic hit i couldnt do my usual sport which was very outdoor centered but i still ate like an athlete would and so i gained weight, my entire life my mom had an eating disorder so my weight gain was commented on alot and this lead to an eating disorder! i lost everything not just weight, i lost my hair, my social skills and my own thoughts during my eating disorder arc, i never got professional help and recovered on my own, and i started going to the gym and actually understanding nutrition. never have i been more grateful for recovery then when i can see my muscle building progress :)

[@noatapuach2422]

Big ❤ to you Patty thanks for sharing. You really made lemonade out of your lemons, that’s very inspiring. I was also messed up with the skinny-thigh gap trend back when I was 13. developed a bit of an eating disorder for a while myself, not as severe but still harmful., it’s not my build to be skinny, I gain muscle quickly and was discouraged about many kinds of workout because I was afraid „to grow“., and thanks to you I now shifted my body image of beautiful, from skinny to strong! Strong and healthy body is the most beautiful ❤

[@Ticky21]

The summary would be that I never really exercised when I was younger and was a bit overweight as a teen. Found martial arts while at university and got reasonably fit and ate fairly healthy, but had no clue what I was really doing. Became severely depressed during almost the whole of my 30's and developed a food/sugar addiction which caused me get up to nearly 300 lbs and lose so much muscle that I could barely support my own body weight. Just standing from a chair or walking for 5 minutes were extraordinarily difficult and painful for me. All of my body's systems seemed to be severely out of control. Over the past couple of years I was able to make some serious changes which lead to losing an overall net of 80 lbs while putting on quite a bit of muscle. Now, at the age of 40, I may actually be stronger, more fit, and more muscular than I was in my 20's, but I still have a ways to go. Trying to regain control of my health from the state I was in was the most difficult thing I ever had to do, but damn was it worth it. I think not enough people realize how liberating a strong and healthy body is or how difficult life becomes when your own body becomes a prison.

I know what you mean about paying attention to your nutrition. Last December I saw how much sugar, salt and rich carbohydrates I was eating that made me feel and look so bloated. Felt sluggish all the time and lived off caffeine. Once I started training regularly like I used to when I was doing martial arts, then hired a trainer for 3 months, my eating habits slowly became super clean. I'm at the point now where I would only have sugar or carbohydrates once a few months. My energy levels are much higher and I lost 12 inches off my waist while only losing 9 pounds. Lastly, I realized that I was an emotional eater. Nothing too severe but whenever I think of cravings, its because I was either having a bad day or just fixating on a memory. So thank you for this video.

Awesome video Patty and genuinely very relatable. Since you asked here is my story: I never had an eating disorder but I did grow up with a parent that was battling their own issues with food an weight. Sadly, those problems we`re projected onto me and I grew up thinking I was fat (I wasn`t) and shouldn`t eat bread OR do any physical activity, cause that was for muscles and those are not for women (fml). Anyway, fast forward to 2019, I too was in a friendship with a less than stellar person who treated me like garbage and fell into a pit of depression and anxiety that forced me into therapy. Which was one of the best things I did for myself. During the pandemic, I started doing body weight exercises at the encouragement of my therapist and started counting my calories. I lost 26 lbs (12 kg) and felt amazing, I also started running as well. In October 2020, I joined a gym and kept going ever since. Second best decision of my life!!! Since then, my therapist told me I am doing way better and don`t need to come to therapy anymore, I gained loads of muscle mass and even convinced my partner to join me at the gym! Much love and looking forward to the next video!
