    I was watching a Karmalita fox video and someone said that one of the best things you can do is SEPERATE your feelings from hunger. She said and I quote “sad is not hungry. Bored is not hungry.” and that’s when it clicked for me. I never had that big of an appetite, I just used food as a dopamine supply when I didn’t have anything else to do 🤯 now I gotta find something else to boost my dopamine lol

    The idea that your body puts on weight when it feels unsafe is so beautiful. Because God crafted our body to protect us. I have started to recognize a lot of the things you covered on my own, but that part was honestly such a wholesome way to see my body that it made me realize how important it is to pay attention to my cues and not punish myself for being hungry. I think another really great tip would be to prioritize finding and eating foods with nutrients that your body needs that are also tasty to you. Because you can eat sugary food and then because your body got no real sustenance from it, you’ll feel that trigger to eat again (even if it’s a just mental trigger) and it makes you feel guilty for wanting to eat again. But your body is literally saying “I cannot sustain you off this. I need better food to function properly.”

    I had a similar realization. I spend the last 4-5 months trying to "bulk". I was consuming a ton of dairy via protein smoothies, big breakfast, yogurt, and lots of chicken. I was bloated and constipated all the time. I felt heavy and didn't gain nearly as much muscle as I had expected.

    I was in a toxic relationship for four years on and off. During that time, I had gained around 60 pounds without even realizing it. (Around 6 months of weight gain, I know, that’s a LOT of weight to gain in 6 months, and I have stretch marks from that time because of it) and I had avoided even looking at myself for a very long time. One day I got on a scale, and saw 200 pounds. 60 pounds more than the last time I weighed myself. It felt like I completely blacked out for 6 months because I was just always snacking and not processing the many emotions that come with a toxic relationship. Once I saw how much I gained it was like an overwhelming feeling of “wow, I actually let myself go and I didn’t even realize it.” So I got back in the gym and stopped snacking as much, but it hardly helped. My bf then broke up with me in June 2022, and after that my weight quite literally fell off. The funny thing is, I didn’t even correlate the two events with each other. It’s obvious now. I wasn’t even trying to lose weight and the minute that he ended things with me, I found a nice routine for myself and saw results w/o even trying. Down to 170. 6 months later, we got back together. (Please don’t judge, if you’ve ever been in a toxic on and off relationship then you know what it’s like) and so I didn’t gain any weight, but I didn’t lose anything either. Fast forward to 2024. February, my bf moved away and we broke things off mutually. I have already lost 10 pounds, but it’s not going as easy as it did the first time. My goal weight is around 140 since that was my starting weight a couple years ago, but I’m still 20 pounds off. I’m currently in the stubborn fat stage and have been going to the gym regularly to build muscle (and I really have gained a lot of muscle!!) but I have been really struggling with eating. I’ll be good one day and then the next I spiral. Then I do good for two days and fall off for three. Currently I’m in a pretty big slump and it’s the third day in a row I haven’t gone to the gym (the first time I skipped more than one day since February, now April) and I feel so bad. I’m going to start intermittent fasting and try to listen to my body more, but I’m just stuck right now and I don’t know what to do. My mental health these last few days has been really struggling and I’m trying to dig myself out of my hole by doing things like cleaning my depression room (but that made it worse because now it doesn’t feel like my space anymore :( but I’m going to do better this week and try to change my mindset a bit more. This podcast is helping a ton and I can FINALLY relate to someone I see online. I’ve never seen you before but I’m subscribing so that I will. Your advice has helped me switch my mind to be a healthier version of itself, and I’m excited to implement this new perspective in my everyday life. If you’ve read this far, ily 🫶 and thank you ❤

    Yes girl I loved this video! So happy for you, and you should be so proud of yourself for having these realizations. Like you said, not enough, people are talking about bodies and weight loss from this perspective, and it really needs to be talked about more. Here are some of my thoughts based on what you talked about: Emotion is energy in motion, and like you said, we have to keep it moving. When it gets stuck or stagnant, it can actually become something physical. Disease, excess fat, etc. are often related to/tied to an emotional charge that was never properly released from the body. So really allowing ourselves to feel and process ALL emotion is so important. Something else that really resonated with me on my own journey is to stop using the phrase "lose weight" because when you lose something you're usually trying to get it back. For example, if you lose your keys, you are going to look to find your keys and get them back again. But when it comes to weight or excess fat, we're not trying to find and regain the weight. So rather than saying "lose" weight, saying "release" or "let go of" weight that no longer serves you. Again, energy is everything. One thing that I find really helpful is actually taking a moment before I eat to send gratitude to everything and everyone that made my food possible. Gratitude for the plants or animals, the rain, the sunshine, the people who made and prepared my food. by sending that positive energy into the food you eat you also receive that positive energy when you consume it. This is where the quote "a happy donut is healthier than a sad salad" comes from lol. You could be eating the "healthiest" thing in the world but if you're consuming it from a space of shame or judgment, or fear, that is the energy that you're bringing into your system. Whereas you might be eating some thing that some people would consider less healthy, but if you are eating it with joy and gratitude, and love, that is the energy you were bringing into your system. Thanks again for such a beautiful video! Sending you lots of love and big hugs.

I think I kept listening because I could sense her authenticity. She is real. She has so much insight and wisdom to be so young.

    Hi Bria, this is the first video I have watched of you and I want to say Thank you for putting across your thoughts. The way you told us how our relationship with ourselves affects how we eat is so true. I never realised this even though I was aware of it that I gained the most weight when I was going through the most stressful periods of my life. I have always had a healthy relationship with food, but what I lack is working out and coping with my emotions and keeping it inside me. But my relationship with food took a turn for bad once I gained 10kgs in the last 6 months. I started viewing food as good and bad and I thought I would have to restrict myself. I have just started my wellness journey again and I have promised myself that I want to do this for life and not till I achieve some aesthetic goal. Learning how to eat healthy, working out is a life skill that everyone needs but most people talk about it as if we inherently have it. I learned a lot from your video and I am looking forward to watching more of your stuff.

    The issue is you thinking that you have to keep the emotions inside you and that’s what is also contributing to your weight gain. You need to find outlets for your emotions. Journal your emotions and write down why you’re having these feelings - this is helping you to hold space for yourself and show compassion to yourself. The goal is to process your emotions which is making sure you’re releasing them.

I felt like my being skinny was the only thing that made me pretty so I tried to focus on losing weight by going to the gym and by sometimes not eating at all but it’s honestly been so stressful. I moved away from home for 6 months so I’m really trying to relearn how to eat when I’m hungry and not punish myself with food. I agree with literally everything you mentioned.

    What I love the most about intermittent fasting is that it naturally propels me to drink a lot more green tea, water, and coconut water. It feels good to use the fasting window to hydrate the mind, body, and soul.

    your advice is literally key. ive been binge-restricting in a cycle and have gained a lot of weight recently from both that and life stress, but i need to listen to my body instead of ignoring and hurting it!

    I'm only 8 minutes in but so far you've covered the same realizations that I learned in two years of binge eating disorder treatment including 3 months of intensive outpatient treatment. Looking forward to listening to the rest of the video! 💖The title drew me in because one of my first realizations in treatment was that it's absolutely not about the food.

    This is the best video/podcast episode I’ve watched regarding this topic and trust me, I’ve watched hundreads lol. I’ve arrived at this point where I don’t even want to think about weightloss because it just causes anxiety but rather focus on healing my relationship with food. On the outside I look very much healthy but I still eat past comfortable fullness frequently and feel out of control around sugar. So I definitely don’t feel my best in that regard. This video was so helpful, encouraging and relatable. Thank you! ❤✨

I’ve been big my entire life and like you I’ve been in a yo yo of lose some gain some more for what seems like my entire life. I also love sugar always need something sweet after I eat anything. I’m also a Scorpio and yes I hold so many grudges from those who have hurt me and added trauma into my life. I’ve never felt so seen and heard before and this really helped open my eyes. It’s so hard to not listen to what this influencer is saying then this one and on and on. I know what I have to do it just takes me actually getting up and doing it without a time constraint and being so cruel to myself while simultaneously being accountable.

    Thank you for taking the time to talk to us about this it means a lot and i definitely feel like it hit home for me. It’s really hard because I don’t think I’ve never truly realized the I’m an emotional eater until i started working on my business and when my business wasn’t doing well I noticed I would just subconsciously pull up to anywhere and get food when I knew I was truly hungry and I knew it wasn’t the best healthiest food. It’s so weird but I am glad I’m more subconscious of it.

    Also when it comes to movement: do what makes you feel good and what you enjoy! Not what’s currently trending online. When I stopped trying to become a muscle mommy and then a Pilates princess, and instead implemented movement that I actually enjoyed and that suited my lifestyle, I finally got a routine going. That’s not to say that weightlifting and Pilates can’t be fun, I’m sure it can be. But at the current moment, it does not work for me and I don’t want to keep beating myself up for not being able to get into a routine with it. Now I mainly go for long walks, do dancing / walking workouts and hula hoop and it’s actually working for me because I’m able to exercise consistently. Cause I’m having fun. And you can always build onto those small things after a while.
