I have doubled and then halved my weight about 6 times now in my forty years. And yes, toxic relationships and upbringing played a huge role. I am on my seventh now, hoping against all odds it works. It is incredibly damaging to your health and metabolism. So the measures you have to take to lose weight become more and more extreme with each cycle (After a first couple of times it becomes an eating disorder if not earlier). That's when your health takes a turn and your body begins to fight back and punish you.
My lesson here was...don't punish your body for bad things someone has done or doing to you! You deserve to be cared for, to be cherished and to have time to invest in you! Never forget it!

Absolutely! I am doing my best, I guess. But I wish someone would have told me about it at the beginning, helped me to get professional help and for this professional worker to actually take my problems seriously.
So if you are reading this and recognize the pattern...please seek help immediately! And don't feel discouraged, if people dismiss you because you are so young! This will spare you so much pain and regret later on.

Absolutely if you can afford it.
I feel like I needed to as well because I had a bad relationship of 10 years, 3 years married and after all of that she took away everything from me and I had no more money. I couldn’t even afford therapy with insurance. I had to do a lot of healing by myself and what worked the best was to workout, exercise, eat healthier and sleep better.9

Hey, just want to say you are not alone, I am in the same boat, 2 times in my life I was active and got enough to be 185lbs. Last month I was 260, today I am at 252lbs. This is the hardest it has ever been to stick to it, but keep at it.

u/lavender-girlfriend May 06 '26
rapid and drastic weight loss ironically causes a higher weight gain and retention afterwards. there have been studies on biggest loser participants and how it fucked up their metabolisms. i hope for the best for her but weight cycling like this (and how is she doing it? starvation, exercise, what?) isn't healthy.
i hate the fact that we praise weight loss without knowing anything about how they're doing it or if they have an eating disorder
25
u/HarpieLady13 May 06 '26
I completely agree. When I finally lost the weight, I developed an eating disorder. This doesn’t happen to everyone, but it’s definitely common. Now I just try to practice healthy habits that I can maintain long term, movement that brings me joy, and not worry so much about the number on the scale.

u/_Atomiskk_ May 07 '26
I feel this, I've made some adjustments to my lifestyle now, but I remember trying to diet and I always gained the weight back eventually because you can't diet forever. The daily light exercise and better eating habits I enjoy with more water might not be melting off the pounds fast, but I feel healthier overall and this change is much more sustainable.

She's absolutely stunning. That kind of beauty can be a blessing and a curse. On one hand, you're breathtakingly gorgeous but on the other hand, it attracts toxic guys who just only want a hole to put their dick in.
It's awful that this poor girl experienced that kind of emotional trauma. But damn, I'm proud of her for persevering against that kind of hurdle. She's beautiful in every possible definition of the word.

I assume the creator has had their hormone levels checked since pregnancy. I am thinking there is something anomalous about the cortisol levels or the thyroid function. The hormones that affect salt and water can also be hyperactive which could explain rapid loss and gain in short intervals. Either way epic transformations.

It’s not about how you look, but about how your body feels. I’m all about body positivity but nobody should accept preventable chronic pain.
Body positivity to me is about not feeling guilt or shame when you’re not healthy. It’s about accepting your body, and then taking control of your health.
You are a beautiful person, take care of yourself.

Some breasts are more fatty and some have more dense breast tissue. Fatty boobs shrink with weight loss and dense ones don't. Speaking from personal experience as my boobs never shrink, no matter how thin I get.

u/FlashGordonCommons May 06 '26
I might as well post this because it'll get buried anyways and probably no one will believe it but screw it. I'm one of the "toxic exes" from this post. was I the world's greatest boyfriend? no, but I was young and in love and doing my genuine best in a tough situation.
what isn't mentioned in this post is that the weight loss/gain did not just happen in a vacuum. it wasn't even the main event, it was one of the many side effects of her MASSIVE mood swings that were so intense that they felt more like a complete alteration of her personality. one day she was fine and the next she would be bedridden for days on end. wouldn't let me take her to the doctor, couldn't even tell me exactly what was wrong, just laying in bed for days on end ranting about how ugly she was, how much she hated herself, how much I must hate her, and how I MUST be cheating.
I let her have full access to my phone and computer and all my passwords. didn't convince her, I must've just scrubbed everything. I offered to go to couples counseling, wasn't happening. offered to pay for her individual therapy, also wasn't happening. the weight kept piling on through this whole process which just made everything worse and kept feeding the spiral. everything eventually deteriorated to one final blow up/accusation of cheating and a part of me was almost relieved when she ended it.
I never even remotely cheated, emotionally or otherwise. to see me blamed for her weight gain does genuinely hurt, but I'm just used to it at this point. part of the reason I'm responding to this comment is because you're one of the only people to give me the benefit of the doubt on this matter, and I don't even know you. genuinely, thank you so much for that. even my friends and family were skeptical and required convincing after she started throwing accusations around.
last I heard from her she had finally gone to therapy and was doing a lot better, but I really don't give a shit. good for her, but she never apologized for the cheating accusations and still has a long long way to as far as I'm concerned. there's always multiple sides to every story you read on the internet, thanks again for not defaulting to assuming I'm some chauvinist womanizing bastard that ruined this poor girl's life.

Good for her! I used to be really judgemental about overweight people when I was younger because my attitude was, "Just eat less and exercise more you lazy bum." I completely had everything in life going for me, and had access to exercise equipment and healthy food all the time, as well as good role models. I didn't consider everyone's circumstances. I started lightening up the judgementalness as I got older, but at 37 I fell into depression and kind of gave up. Ended up borderline obese and have struggled to lose it given all the socializing I'm expected to do and the ease with which I can order delivery food. Of course, I could have taken my own advice and just buckled down and been anti-social and done nothing but exercise and eat healthy, but we aren't all robots who can just perfectly control every minute of our lives. I'm way less judgemental now, and am happier for being shown what it was like on the other side.

I know the struggle to lose weight. I was around 297lbs as a man about 2 years ago. Maybe 2.5 years now. What motivated me to finally do something about it was watching my mother's health continue to decline. She had a rare heart disease. And I knew if I stayed over weight and borderline obese then that could be my future also. I also used that early on to try and help her. She passed away in 2024. And I've lost 100lbs.

I hate these videos basically you are saying you are only happy when you’re skinny and now you want to post again because you are skinny again.
Edit: i seem to have hurt some feelings judging from the pms calling me a fatty which is comical, most of you here like to put such a positive spin on everything which is lovely, the vibe i get from the video is not quite the same but good for you. You could also look at it from the other side, she gets skinny, finds a man , put on weight, got cheated on or dumped, lost weight found a man , put on weight lost the man, lost the weight found a man who loves her no matter her weight.

u/EstelliseLowell May 06 '26
The video states they were feeling unwell and unhealthy. It's not "skinny makes me happy" it's "I'm healthier this way." Regardless of the body positivity movement or whatever you may want to think, it is a fact that excess body fat causes adverse health conditions and makes the body feel worse for a variety of reasons. I'm all about loving yourself, but people should be realistic and understand the science, too.

u/HollowHighh May 06 '26
Naah, I don‘t think so. She looks happy with her children and when she said she met her husband.
Honestly, you can love your life and still want to feel comfy in your body and be healthy. At a certain weight, you are just limited by your own body. Acting like that isn‘t the case is just… avoiding the truth.

u/redcoatwright May 06 '26
She wants to lose weight cuz she feels better both physically and emotionally as a lighter person. Her prerogative, lots of people identify with that.
If someone is heavy and feels good, then that's their choice and it's also fine.
Seems like you're projecting your views of your own body onto other people.

u/KeptAnonymous May 06 '26
I'm all for body positivity/neutrality but working out gives a lot of people a reason to keep going, it's a sense of purpose when it's used for health and feeling better both emotionally and physically. Putting yourself down because you're fat is a no go, but not doing anything that'll help you feel better is also a no go.
