Bunny Hunny Being “diagnosed” doesn’t mean you have binge eating disorder. Is your therapist aware of the ways in which the body reacts to famine? Research the Minnesota Starvation Study. If your body didn’t need that food, you would NOT be eating. Period. When your body gets comfortable, it WILL stop the extreme eating naturally and your weight will adjust. - Anorexic for 13 years

I don’t think it’s rude. For me as a woman, I see the way she used to be as unhealthy because she lost her period. That is a warning sign right there. I don’t get why women would ever strive to obtain such an unhealthy level of leanness. If you lose your period it’s not only devastating for your reproductive ability but also for your hormonal balance. So I don’t think it’s wrong for people to celebrate her in a state where she looks healthy.

@sinkmagg0t

@@kathlimb Yes, because being overweight puts extra pressure on your body, and getting rid of it can help you deal with an illness/condition more easily. Sure, doctors can be curt or mean sometimes, but at the end of the day they have a job. If the extra weight can have such a negative impact on your body than it is no longer considered healthy. Then again, if you are struggling with an ED, it's not going to be as easy, and you can't keep avoiding it forever, so I suggest a phyciatrist or working hard with yourself to overcome it.. i know i make it sound simpler than it is but everything in life needs effort.

I have a history of working out and beiNg the “fit girl”. Over the last year and a half I have gained around 15 lbs. I was always depressed about the weight gain, but what made it Worse was when i ran into an old friend i havent seen in 3 years. He said “ Wow you got kinda chunky” and my heart dropped and I became even more self conscious about others noticing it. So now, whenever i see people that I havent seen in A long while ( like classmates from high school) I try to hide from them because I knoww they are thinking that i gained weight. This video has helped me be more confident and to just realize how unimportant my appearance is compared to everything else . Thank you ❤️

I know it sucks but eventually I accepted my new normal body type and realized that if others didn’t accept it too then it’s their own problem. Not mine. Stay strong ❤️

What's crazy to me, as someone that has been watching you for a while, is that at the time you looked good and "healthy". But seeing your "then" pics now is a bit scary because you look sooooo thin, and now ironically, with the weight gain you look so much healthier.

You are doing great for realising the issue and putting in the steps to make a change. For me I never feared getting fat but I used food in a punish and reward kind of way. If I didn't achieve what I wanted in the day, I wouldn't eat. I didn't even realise I was doing it until I broke down my behaviour. So for me I had to let this go and just eat more consistently and not put the narrative in my head that I dont deserve to eat. I would lietrally not eat if am having a bad day or if I didn't finished my work to the standard I wanted etc. I kind of realise what I had was an eating disorder. So by going all in (which I am doing now), I have been able to break down thid cycle.

But watching your all in journey and how you've learned to accept and love yourself at every stage has been very encouraging to me! You are so real and have become one of my favorite KZreadrs :)

I’ve loved watching your all-in journey Stephanie! I changed jobs a few years ago from bar-work to healthcare, and gained weight since then. I bumped into customers I used to serve on a daily basis who commented on my weight and said that I gained a lot, which hurt and annoyed me at the time. I am losing it again now, and while I’m not at my start weight I feel happy with my body and my partner says he prefers me how I am now (much like Jeff) which is always good to hear! Thankyou Steph!

It is sad that society sometimes looks down on people who gain weight and makes them feel less of themselves and praise people who lose the weight. This mentality is so twisted and NO ONE should ever feel ashamed of their body and should feel comfortable having to gain weight if they need to or lose weight without being judged. We really need to grow and it is people like you, Steph, that talk about this that could help others and start a conversation of everyone is beautiful no matter what and there's more to the person and the world than weight.

Nydiess hey just letting u know it’s actually not rly a good idea to reassure others they’re not fat or that they’re not gonna “get” fat. because it reinforces the idea that fat is something to be fearful of and bad and it’s just not. it reinforces the idea that “as long as i’m not fat it’s okay”. in eating disorder recovery u have to challenge urself and ask WHY fat is so bad and so scary. it’s also triggering to some, because some people who are recovering or recovered ARE fat. (how do u know OP isn’t fat? if they were itd be really triggering. not everyone with an ED is skinny) it doesn’t make them any more or less disordered. fat is not the same as bad, ugly, mean, or dumb. fat is a neutral descriptor and should be used as one.

The message you're sending out to people is so heartwarming and beautiful. You went through such a tough journey and your happiness and confidence now is so great to see. Congrats

Thank you for being you! It took so much courage to do what you did... KZread and the fitness community needs more people like you! You have changed lives...never let anyone’s opinion of you, stop you from being you..!!

i literally look up to you steph, thank you for being so real, you look absolutely bomb and i support the concept of you chosing your health over anything else 💗

This is SO encouraging to hear- thank you for shedding light on this and being vulnerable with all of us, that takes courage.

You’re so articulate and authentic. Thank you for all that you share with us. It has been awesome watching your transformation.... mostly the emotional one over the physical one. You are truly glowing and seem so at peace, and being content with yourself is one of the best things ever. 🥰

A while ago I was scrolling through my saved pictures on Instagram and came across one of your older posts where you were verrrrry lean. It brought me back to a time in my life where I was beating myself up for not being as lean as you were at the time. Hearing you talk about your weight gain and you being completely okay with it despite the setbacks made me forgive myself for not being as lean. It made me realize that I am me and that's so much more valid than wanting to look like someone else. Thank you for sharing your story. You without a doubt have inspired me and many more viewers. Enjoy the rest of tour journey

Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been on my own “all-in” journey for almost five months now and have really struggled with my feelings about my new, heavier body. Your content has been so encouraging to me throughout this process and I’m looking forward to employing for of your tips and tricks for coping 🙂

You’re so beautiful inside and out Stephanie! Your channel is truly such a blessing and I love how genuine you are ❤️

I need to stop checking my physique every day, this is such a good advice! And also most of the point you made is also helping with other parts of my life - lately I had really big flareup on my face from atopic dermatitis and I was afraid to go outside even in makeup, because I thought that this is so visible and everybody will comment; I was scared to go to work with this, but after this video I am feeling better and will try not to think about anyone's opinion! You are such great inspiration, you looks gorgeous, your body is amazing and every time I am watching you - I have smile on my face :) Thank you for this positivity!

I honestly love you and your videos so much! I've struggled with anorexia for too many years now and in the past year I've tried to recover and I have gained a lot of weight and especially recently it has been bothering me but watching your videos has made me realize that it's okay to gain weight and I'm much healthier now than I was a year ago. Thank you so much for everything!

Dealing with ED for a lot of my life. Seeing you immerse yourself in this all in process has helped me significant. Going from underweight to overweight to slowly and “safely” going down to a “normal” “healthy” bodyweight has been a journey but I’m glad so many of us aren’t alone. Even saving that I had an ED took yeeeeears...I could never say it out loud. Glad we are all thriving 🥰

You are so relatable, real, and so so professional in your videos. I love that you’ve been so open about all of this ❤️

I think you’re an amazing person for doing what you set out to do and actually achieving your goals. It could definitely be a huge roller coaster emotionally, mentally and physically, but I think succeeding and achieving your own fears makes the process a little easier. I respect you very much Stephanie

Body checking is what I do and I’m ashamed because I have been sad about my body . I feel that I look in the mirror and pin point every little thing from my scars from surgeries to my thighs. Definitely going to try this tip as well as the others. Thank you Stephanie for the video💜

This video was so helpful! Especially for those of us, like me, who struggle with their weight and body image everyday. You offered so many helpful tips and I really appreciate your honesty, positivity, and perspective! You're so beautiful inside and out, thank you for all that you've done! Keep being you☺️

Okay this is probably the video I needed the most atm 🥰 going from anorexia to gaining more weight than before because of a lot of binge eating have been SO hard, and these video and all the comments just made me realize how we're totally not alone in this

That’s has to have been one of my favorite episode you have made thank u for being so honest and the tips you give I absolutely took in consideration to help me grow in a more positive loving manner I love u Stephanie

You have no idea how much this helped me. It almost brought me to tears honestly. I recently gained weight after transitioning back to eating meat. I’m taking all of these to heart and probably will revisit the video again.

Okay so im gonna me honest. At first I've been folowing you just for your cheat days because i was dealing with an eating disorder and it was nice to see someone enjoying food when i "couldn't". Anyways,later on i've found myself watching your content on a regular basis and when you started your journey i was so impressed and i really wanted to do that for myself too but I was too scared. Now that i've seen the positive impact it had on you i will try to do something about my eating disorder. You are the reason i realized that gaining weight can be a beautiful thing. Thank you so much and im so happy for you❤

Thank you, Steph. All your changes I too have experienced and is currently in the process of forgiving myself for being the worst critic towards yes, myself. At least somebody here in KZread has this content to speak out about women suffering from this chronic narcissistic habit of body checking. Oh my you have no idea how relieved i am to know that I am not alone in this kind of problem. This is so helpful. I have been so fit, so strong I can lift more than college dudes could in the gym, I am very confident I had abs. But I have been through a lot when I reviewed for the Bar exams and then had so many personal and relationship issues I just immediately blew up like a balloon plus I got operated for bilateral ovarian dermoid cyst which really turned everything in my system slow. I cant lift anymore even if one year has passed, i cant jump, run fast, my metabolism got so slow and losing weight was so much harder than I have ever possibly imagined. I got to a point where I would snap at everybody who commented about how huge my weight gain is. Thank you that in this channel I can see comments that are so positive and supportive. I am also very thankful to have a boyfriend who is typically the same as Jeff here. True, stick with people who love you for who you are. I used to be 55kg and shoot up to 75kg and is now 66kg after struggling to have 30minutes exercise at least 4-5x a day and eating veggies and fruits. I used to be able to lose up to 25lbs in a month because I beat myself up just because I care so much of other people's opinion. I love you Steph. You are so beautiful and I am si proud of your progress! We are in this together! Thank you for speaking up for all of us who suffer the same. Michelle from Philippines ♥️🇵🇭🙏

You’re so beautiful and brave. You’re a role model for me and so many others. You seem so happy, even though we all have ups and downs. You’re incredible and kind. Thank you so so so much for sharing your journey with us, it helps so many people

I just had a binge episode last night and currently feel disgusting and in need of some emotional support. I always go back to your videos for the reminder that weight and food are not the enemy. thank you as always for being vulnerable and helping us all

This was really what I needed to hear today. I am a recovering anorexic and unfortunately dealing with severe GI issues which is causing my weight to shoot up. It is really hard to love my body, especially because it seems as if my body is giving up on me. Thank you for such a positive message

you’re changing lives out here, Steph. mine and so many others. you have no idea how much you mean to all of us!

I wish I had seen this video years ago when I was struggling with my weight. You, Stephanie, are such an inspiration and I am sure you are helping so many people with your videos. Thanks to be so authentic and transparent. 💕😍

Thank you so much for being one of the only fitness youtubers that talks about their problems with food. I’m so proud of you for not giving up. ❤️😁

I lost 150 pounds and let me tell you, I NEEDED this video too! Psychologically it is a CONSTANT battle with my mind, mirrors, comparing, body checking, and fear. It’s hard, but even before and during this all-in journey you’ve made me feel comfort and love all the way, even if I don’t know you Steph. I’ll always love and look up to you immensely. Thank you for all that you do! 💜💜

Hi Stephanie! Thank you for being such an inspiration! You always say how thankful you are to us for being there but really, you're the one who's there for us. I thought being underweight at 73 lbs was a struggle, but the extreme hunger and self hatred that came from my 30lb weight gain was on a whole different level. I've always enjoyed watching your videos but it wasn't until you went all out and shared your experience that I was able to see how beautiful your soul is. Everyday is still a struggle for me looking in the mirror, but having you here makes my journey less lonely.

I’m suffering from anorexia and I’m currently following a meal plan in order to gain weight. This video is so helpful!! Thank you Stephanie you are amazing!❤️❤️

With Anorexia,the idea is to STOP FOLLOWING meal plans,listen to your body and eat to full mental and physical hunger,stop with trying to control it,or it will really set you back in recovery,Tabitha Farrar videos are great for that!

Joy Cooper Yes exactly. I was given a meal plan by my nurse because i need it. Once i am weight restored i’ll try intuitive eating ❤️

Definitely having a great support system is key! It was hard for me to come to terms after gaining 70+ pounds getting to my heaviest. My jeans didn’t fit my oversized shirts were tight and I was sad. My family and boyfriend pushed me through this, now I’ve lost 54 of those pounds and I’m so much happier! Just make sure you are happy🥰🥰 thanks for this video, I know a lot of people need it💓💓

Awesome!

I’m trying to recover from an eating disorder and everything you are doing is really opening my eyes to so much, your positivity and message of loving yourself no matter what you look like and ignoring what other people think about your weight is so inspiring and I can’t thank you enough! I will refer to this video whenever I’m struggling. Lots of love xxx

I love 💗 you Steph (Although we aren’t personally acquainted), you’re literally my internet older sister and I thank you for being so eloquent and honest.

This hit home! I've had to gain weight recently as I've continued to fight my eating disorder. It's soooo hard. I've been around this one weight for so long, I feel like people expect that that is my body. So gaining weight, and getting to what is my real weight, has been tough. Especially with the colleagues and other people you talked about. I feel like I'm more self conscious about their opinions, because they don't know why I'm getting a little fluffier.

Girl you’re beautiful. I’m trying to gain weight. A healthy weight for me is around 140. I got very depressed and dropped down to 110. I’m finally back to my healthy weight level of 139. However I want to look like an adult and gain weight. And I think another 20 pounds would look nice on me. I personally think your body looks healthier and better with your weight gain. You even glow differently!!

Thank you for making a point about how you feel at a certain weight vs the number in the scale! I'm 5'1 according to weight charts I should top around 115 but I feel better and look better around 125-130. At that weight I fill out nicely and have a very curvy figure.

Stephanie, I've been following you as I was finishing my PhD as well. You're strong and beautiful. Thank you for sharing your journey with me and others. It's really powerful.

You are so inspiring! I am recovering from an eating disorder and dealing with the weight gain that comes with recovery. Thank you for sharing your journey. You are beautiful💜

It’s so fitting that you posted this especially after international women’s day. Definitely felt you in that goodbye at the end! Thank you for all your courage and passion!

Thank you for this video! I’m currently attempting recovery from an ED, and although I’m not severely underweight, gaining some weight is something I need to do for my health. I haven’t told my family yet. My mom is big in commenting on my size/staying slim and my dad will straight up tell me if I gained weight. I started going to the gym with my boyfriend in hopes of bulking up and getting strong, and he’s been supportive with every pound I lift and pound of weight I manage to put on. It’s not easy all around, but the community here is great. Keep up your good work, we’re all here for you as well 🥰

Stephanie

I'm so glad you are doing this. I also started gaining weight and having to embrace my new body. I'm learning to also help my family to understand the journey and talking about how this is for my health and it's just a body. Seeing how amazingly beautiful and fit you were and seeing you embracing hunger and listening to your body has been so good for my ED recovery process

I'm honestly struggling with this. I'm currently fit and I've put on lean muscle mass after a rigorous exercise routine. I'm happy with where I am, but I'm afraid of losing it...And yet, I know that I will at some point. So I'm trying to work on that. It doesn't help that I have a few people in my life who make comments about how skinny I am constantly (because of their own insecurities) and I know that if/when I do gain weight, they will revel in it. I know I need to reevaluate things. Thank you for this video. You look beautiful and do seem happier.

I’m so glad you made this video! I particularly related to the part where you talked about your moms reaction to when you started gaining. I have a really hard time talking to my mom about body image and my weight gain with her because she has a really old fashioned view of weight and she’s almost obsessive about monitoring her own weight. I’ve just had to work around it and kind of avoid the subject with her to the point that I refuse to tell her how much I weigh because I know it’s a subject that we won’t ever see eye to eye on.

You are such an inspo! I watched your videos before the all in and I WAS really striving for that leaner and muscular body but after your journey it’s given me a greater perspective. I don’t need to kill myself and restrict myself to look a certain way. I am strong and I get stronger every week at the gym. I value my strength more than how I look. My goal this year is to hip thrust 2x my body weight. Thanks for being such a positive influence in the fitness community❤️

Thank you for making this! Personally, I needed this. Over the past few years I've slowly been putting on a little weight, but as of the last 8 months, I've gained 20 lbs. My mom has made a few remarks, and everyone has been asking if I'm expecting. It's hard. I've just been going through some emotional baggage, and as I have peeled it all back, it's taken a toll on me. Hearing you talk about your experience with your mother has helped me to forgive her, as well as my other family who have also made remarks. I know they love me and mean well (for the most part), but hearing that you have gone through the same thing has really helped. As of today, I'm doing much better mentally and it's leading me down a road to better physical health. Thank you for talking about this!

I really needed this 🥺 your channel is so REFRESHING! Much love from Germany ❤️

I’m currently bulking right now. I suffered with anorexia in high school and still suffer from body dysmorphia to this day. It’s hard, I know what I’m doing is a temporary process and it makes me happy feeling stronger, but I was always known as the “skinny girl” or the girl who could eat and not gain a pound- I guess it also comes down to identity- and letting go of the person you once were. Like seasons we are constantly changing- but I’m really happy you uploaded this- there are very few videos that cover this in the fitness industry and I’m really thankful 💖

Sandra Karmann I’m really glad you realized your eating disorder- it’s a long journey but acceptance is the first big step, you got this 💜

I needed this so bad! I'm currently in recovery from an eating disorder and dealing with weight gain. I've been so focused on how much I'm disliking my body these days. Thank you for reminding me to "remember your why." I'm recovering so I can live my life in freedom and joy, not in restriction and pain. Our bodies are just vessels for the journey and when we look back we will not remember how we looked but what we did, how we felt, and who loved us along the way.

Baby you have never looked this good, this healthy and this happy before, wishing you the best on your journey ❤️

You keep staying strong for yourself and this way you keep empowering us every day. Love you Stephanie!🌹

Having good support is key. I think satisfaction comes from seeing yourself and being happy with what you see.

It's so wonderful to hear you speak on this experience Steph, you're such a beautiful person and your energy transfers across the screen ❤️ you've been such a blessing through my own journey learning to accept and love the changes in my body. Thank you so much! ✨✨

I'm so thankful for her videos. Her transformation made me way more confident. I'm a kickboxer and I work out almost everyday. I still don't have a sixpack and I felt so bad. Because I didn't have that perfect fysical looks. But then she said you don't have to look like a fit model to be strong and beautiful you just have to be you. And I am so thankful for you Stephanie really you are amazing ❤️❤️❤️

I see this video absolutely helped you, as your helping others. The highest form of self love. I envy that! ♥️ great job Stephanie- I’ve been watching for along time. And I absolutely live for your videos/Vlogs. It’s true. You as a person is more than what you look like. I went of socials for this reason. I lost 140 lbs gained back 60 but still light years from where I was! Thanks again! You rock! ♥️

I needed this video, Stephanie! As a former physique competitor who was stage lean for too long and is now at a healthy body weight, it is so damn hard dealing with the comments made by friends, family, and strangers. How I look ISNT interesting, and I can’t thank you enough for reminding me of this. You’re amazing Stephanie thank you for your bravery. You’re a true hero

this is so refreshing to watch . having a healthy relationship with food and not restricting a food group and enjoying life. i love this 🥰 life is so short to not enjoy food

You are so strong and so beautiful. I’m Italian and there are two types of grandmothers: the ones that want you to gain weight and force you to eat (😂) and the ones who are very obsessed with healthy eating. When I was 10 my grandmother decided to tell me that I looked pregnant just because I was a little bit over weigh and from that moment I started feeling so bad about myself and begun developing eating disorders at a very young age. I totally understand your position and I can relate to the fact that hearing some comments by relatives is a lot harder. Stay strong 💪🏼 (sorry 4 my English but I’m Italian ehehe)

You’re such an inspiration Stephanie. I’m not currently on an “AllIn” journey, but I am making a major career change. I feel your tips can even help me through what I’m going through because it has been tough to take criticism from my family. Love you and thank you for this video ❤️

Thank you so much for posting videos like these and recording your all in journey. I had a very similar story to you of disordered eating habits and in the past year I went all in. I started to focus on my mental health and realized it is not the worst thing in the world to not be skinny. I looked for fitness influencers online that looked like me and has the same goals, however, I have yet to find even ONE. I think the online health community covers two extremes: very weight cautious/ skinny and careless/ pretty overweight. I am somewhere in the middle of the two and I think that you are such a great example of this. People NEED to see someone who looks normal, who focusses on fitness as well as nurturing their mind and body. Thank you!!!!!

Absolutely love this! This is self - love and I want to be able to feel like this if I do gain weight or lose it. Stephanie has given me such an eye-opening perspective with her journey! And I love and support her for this. YOU GO GIRL!!

I really needed this. I mean love yourself, don't care what others say, do what Ur heart says is all easy to say but very hard to do. I am currently 190 lbs and as a teenager I really tried hard to lose weight to "fit in" to clothes and to look structured but I didn't not succeed. One thing I want to tell u that I learnt from you is the fact that I should stop giving looks so much importance and lose weight to become healthier and less obese
