Wow! Hannah, you and Ellen are really killing it with your videos lately. I recently watched Ellen podcast with Dr B and I was so moved by that discussion that I literally became vegan over night. It was an enormous soul shaking experience. I watched Cowspiracy and 'What the Health' and discussions by Dr Klapper and I have been completely plant based for 2 weeks now. And I feel amazing! Pains that I have had for years are completely gone and constipation I've had for years is healed. This video on post partum weight is great! I've gained so much weight since I've had my last child and I'm just not myself anymore. Becoming vegan I have already noticed weight loss in just two weeks. I just want to feel good again. I want to feel like myself again. I also had some issues with breastfeeding and struggling with my marriage so I'm wondering if I may be holding onto some trauma that's keeping me from losing weight.

hey, are you aware that a vegan diet lacks Vitamin A, B6, B12, D,F K2, CLA, Carnitine, Carnosine, cholesterol, CoQ10, creatine, heme-iron, saturated fat and taurine? Also that shipping exotic fruits and veg and mono cropping IS way worse for the environment and kills more animals than buying from a local farmer or homesteading? Also the latter is better for your human health.

FACT: most of the veggies you are eating are man-made you cna't find them in nature FACT: monocropping is horrifying and kills entire ecosystems

Interestingly, I lost all my pregnancy weight immediately at birth, but then gained weight throughout the first 1.5 years postpartum, as I no longer had as much time as I did prior to becoming a mother to exercise and eat as nutritionally. I find it’s really hard to take as good care of myself now that I have a baby. Thanks for this important video Hannah!

As a hairstylist I always say it to new moms, whether I’ve noticed or not, because I feel like a lot of them don’t feel amazing about how they look after and I just want to hype them up. Cause a lot of people sadly just don’t feel like they look good after.

I love compliments after having a baby!! Especially since it’s a sensitive time with all the other body changes.

I think with the “you look great” comments sometimes they can mean you look put together, awake, hair brushed etc etc rather than you look skinny or fit. So the comments are talking more about the way you’re presented rather than your actual body shape. Still a totally unwarranted comment but when people say “great” they’re possibly trying to correlate you’re doing a good job adjusting to motherhood with how you look. I don’t know if that makes any sense!

I agree!

People were more invested in my bouncing back...I can relate to this so much! I was 56 kg (168 cm) when I became pregnant, and 60 kg after a month postpartum. My grandma (who is actually overweight) gave me weight loss recipes 6-7 weeks pp. :D It was so surreal. And I think I never recieved so many comments about my weight since I had my baby- but they are actually coming from a good place, they are trying to reassure me that I look good and thin even though I never say anything about it, I'm just here enjoying the moment and besides that taking my time to heal, get fit again and stay healthy.

I was listening to this in the shower and I thought “it makes perfect sense to me that stressful times or trauma could make it hard for someone to lose weight, but no not me I’m too hard on myself to accept that” and you said exactly what I was thinking. Even if you don’t think you’re hard on yourself you probably are. This whole video was perfect 🖤

Anyone else think Hannah's channel is totally underrated? 💖 Legit think you need a podcast too, Hannah!

Hannah, hi! While I can’t relate on the subject of this video since I’ve never given birth, you share such valuable, wise insight. And your delivery is so genuine - a breath of fresh air on KZread and social media in general!

Needed to hear this, thank you.

Loving your videos! You speak into specific topics with such gentle firmness that is so appreciated!

I wonder how/whether trauma directly affects body weight. I’ve certainly noticed that some people I know have had weight gain/could not lose weight after trauma; sometimes, to the point of longterm obesity (in spite of eating a fairly healthy diet). However, I wonder whether the body holding onto fat is directly due to trauma, or if trauma leads to other factors which in turn lead to weight gain/difficult weight loss. For instance, many people, in reaction to trauma, struggle to sleep well, eat a lot of ‘comfort food’ (which is usually calorically dense) - even binge, drink alcohol, smoke marijuana, and/or become more sedentary. I wonder if there are any studies on the subject, isolating these things. If a person, who experienced trauma related weight gain (and subsequently tried and failed to lose that weight) was somehow, through an intervention, able to stop drinking and smoking, adopt a WFPB diet, and sleep well, would he still struggle to lose that weight if the underlying trauma wasn’t processed and resolved?

Great to hear from you Hannah!

thank you Hannah. Awesome advice and talk

Yup 👍 you’re so right and on point! Love you! Love your videos! Thanks for all the wisdom 🥰✨🙏

"why are you commenting on my body" Love this!

Loved this video! So relatable thank you for sharing 💗

This was the most amazing and encouraging video I ever watched! Thank you for your wonderful example it means a lot to hear you talk about weight in such an understanding way!❤️🦋❤️

Thanks for this! I gave birth last month and these were great reminders. 💗

I feel like society as a whole can definitely tend to be superficial and obsessive over looks. If we can remain focused on overall health we shouldn’t have to focus in on weight so much, rather how we feel and function daily. I personally have come far in my own healing journey of OCD/perfectionism within my body and food… it all clicked for me when (as you pin pointed) I dove deep in my traumas and was actually diagnosed with PTSD from a childhood disease I experienced and overcame as well as extreme narcissistic abuse from my ex husband. Everyday is easier and easier because I’ve learned myself more and give myself grace. Love this video Hannah, speaks volumes!

This so hit home, I love this. Thank you!!!

That video is a book right there...you are an inspiration...you have a wisdom worth sharing. My child is almost 2. I'm still struggling to love my body post birth. You've made me pause and rethink. Thank you Hannah 🥰

My son is the same age as yours 🤩 I've lost hardly any of my baby weight! Looking forward to making progress with that x

Your videos add so much positivity to my life. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼❤️

Love this! Thank you, Hannah❤️

I had 3 kids and grew 20+ kilos every time but about how I lost that weight: I literally have NO idea. It never popped up on my radar, it was not on my priority list, excersize was about walking around with 3 kids in diapers, there was lack of sleep and trying to survive spiritually and physically. But then this was 30 years ago. Veganism and eating healthy didn’t realy matter… and to be honoust I am grateful that it never was an issue. Because suddenly the kids were out of their diapers, taking themselves for a walk - leaving me waiting at the door. And I realized I was too skinny. So I started to eat more and probably better.

I really loved this video! It is hard to say new things about weight loss, but for me it was very eye-opening when you said holding onto an emotion or trauma is making you hold on to weight. I knew it although somehow I never translated it to my life.

Thank you 💖

Absolutely wonderful 🧡 I love how Hannah respectfully states her disagreement with “me time culture” I feel the same way and I always wondered if I was the only one :)

You and Ellen are such naturals in front of the camera and possess such a beautiful gift when it comes to sharing heartfelt, genuine information that is very much in alignment with high vibrational living. Breaking out of lower density societal "norms", you guys give hope and inspiration for others seeking something similar. You guys rock. (found you by watching Ellen- love your channel too!)

Aw I loved this , your perspective is so pure and honest 🥰🙏 when you said the part about being bloated and it ruining your day…I can sooo relate . It’s a struggle but it shouldn’t be , our bodies fluctuate 😊

You look beautiful and I'm thankful you took the time to make this video. My baby boy is 6 months old and I have been feeling badly about my post baby body. I have found your words helpful and motivating!

It’s always a good day when Hannah McNeely uploads !

Completely agree on how suddenly it’s like it’s acceptable to comment on peoples bodies. Throughout my pregnancy and after birth people would comment on my body, almost in a congratulatory way, because I hadn’t gained much weight, like it was something within my control, when I don’t believe it is! It would make me very uncomfortable and still does went people comment on my body now that I’m a mum.

Such a beautiful way to look it, Hannah 🥰

I totally get what you mean about feeling more confident post pregnancy/birth, BUT for me, that kind of a weird or not a surprise. I had just lost about 150lbs when I found out I was pregnant and was even still losing healthfully during pregnancy. And once I lost that initial "baby weight," and these last several months after, it's been the first time in my life iv been a healthier weight and size. Also, iv gotten the opportunity to really see the results of having gotten to a healthier point in my life as now my 10-month-old is RUNNING NON STOP, and I actually have the energy for it. So absolutely I love this body that now, after having lost the weight, I was finally able to get pregnant and have the energy and strength for it. I feel beautiful in soooo many ways now

My first child I had a urgent c-section and felt miserable of my body and didn't respect it... Now with my second birth that was vaginal I am so proud of my body! I feel also confident.

Love this!!

100% more confident in my body now as well! My girl is also 15 months.

Dear Hannah, Actually I was struggeling with the title of this videos. You mastered it, with telling that you and I and everybody is loved and worthy detached of what you and I and everybody does or doesnt do. Acting from there one becomes the key of your, my , his / her own Life. Thank you so much for that click , I needed that Reminder urgently :). Wish you a nice day, Hanna

Someone saying you’ve bounced back is meant to be a compliment. Just say thank you and move on. Lots of moms (myself included) struggle to have the time/energy/resources to dedicate towards fitness again and hold onto a lot of weight or stress eat after the massive life change that occurs when becoming a mother. It’s a blessing that you haven’t had to deal with excess weight post baby!

I’m in the midst of my own self love and worthiness revulsion and can’t stress out how important it is- it really does change everything!! If you’re in the need of a spiritual, mindset type of change in your life- I’d say start there!

I’m extremely grateful breastfeeding and eating well enough was all it took me to lose it. I don’t want to say get my body back because even though I weighed the same my body is an entirely different shape. I have no idea what I weighed in pregnancy or now but I know I went back to fitting my clothes🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m 39w again now and hoping breastfeeding works it’s wonders again!

I completely agree! I find it so strange and a bit off putting when people comment (even though it’s positive) about my post part I’m body. I also feel way more confident in my body postpartum

I have never commented but want to tell you how much I LOVE this video!!!! Thank you. I am sharing with everyone I know right now. I am, ahem, eight years postpartum and am STILL not at my pre baby weight. Oh well.

I loved this video, so many interesting insights! One question: could you evaluate more on the topic of "nothing can change how loved you already are"? In my mind our behaviours can change a lot about how much others appreciate/love us and how likeable we are.

“Act out of worthiness.” Love this!

I would like to add. Being disciplinied is nothing bad. It's actually amazing thing. Eating healthy and not counting calories doesn't have to do with discipline but with interest in choices of food we make. Discipline doesn't have to be connected necessarily with food choices but if that helps someone at the beginning, it's nothing bad about. My experience with clean plant based eating is that you stop craving all crap of food, and your taste for food changes. Even though I grow up where my mom was cooking all the time. I didn't grow up in the USA where eating fries and hamburgers is a normal thing. But I stil experienced in my puberty wanting to eat sweets with my best friends and have sugar coma :) but after a while I saw that's not good for me and I feel like crap after eating that. I just had awareness from early on for my health. My parents have also big influence in that since they were teaching me to appreciate fruits, cooked meals etc....

This is so good.

I lost my weight after first pregnancy after 4 months. I did a lot of walking with my newborn, started swimming after 4 weeks and did yoga. Sport and plant based diet is my life style. I didn't do all of that to lose weight but to feel good and be active with my baby. We would go to nature so baby can enjoy it as well. I also did feel better in my skin after delivery. Maybe that has to do with a mental state after becoming a parent and not with numbers on scale. I'm now in my second pregnancy and have few more weeks until delivery. I'm heavy to myself :) last weeks of pregnancy are always hard because everything in the body hurts :) I also think Hana, that's weird how people comment someones body and why is that important. No wonder why there are so many eating disorders outthere. I hear compliments in pregnancy like, hey you look good today and I say, should I look bad or what? It's almost like if you are pregnant or after delivery you are supposed to look bad etc

Hi Hannah! Do you still have a belly pouch from your pregnancy? I still have mine a year after giving birth and unfortunately it has affected my relationships with new people. I lost all the weight I had too but I still look "fat". It's weird...

I feel it could also be excess skin, from being stretched during pregnancy, depending on how much weight was gained duringpregnancy. so ppl feel they hVe that 'pouch' appearance.. Also, did you have a c section or natural? Ab separation can still give the illusion of a pot belly look. So all things to consider. Tbh, my mid section is just the 1 area that never went 💯 per cent back to normal, post 2 kids-2 years on from my last baby. Even though during pregnancies I gained no more then 5-8kgs in total, no stretch marks, i am a personal trainer, so I train daily etc. Some women are lucky to go back to looking the same afterwards in that area but others potentially take years to get back or never 🤷‍♀️ acceptance and confidence can be 🔑

@@renee3148 Hi. Yeah my stomach is a tad bit of excess skin but my abs are still poked out a lot. I can tell by sucking in my stomach that a tiny bit is skin but most of it is because my abs are not tight. I was told by a guy a few days ago that he didn't like my body because of my mom bod/I looked fat. It has made me very self conscious since he said that.

I totally agree, I felt a little strange after having my baby but not bad about my body. Just kind of unsure about how to navigate the change. Then people would say things like "Wow, you look great!" and it was nice of them, but definitely made me feel more awkward. Weird to know people around you are assessing your "progress"

Definitely felt and feel more comfortable in my body after my babies.

Crying watching this. I am 9 months PP and the unwanted body comments from randos & family members has been shocking. It’s like once you have a baby, the filters of others fall to the wayside. Yes, my body looks different BECAUSE I COOKED ANOTHER HUMAN.

Girl you are looking like your sister's kids right now. It's so cute. It's the eyes and the hair.

Breastfeeding helped me lose over 70 lbs. I try to walk and eat healthy.

YES to the weirdness of people commenting on your body, it's flattering to here but its uncomfortable and can be triggering for sure. As someone who has a past of ED focusing on the fact my body created a human and I can produce nutrients needed for her is way more encouraging to me than the " bounce back" comments

But when you feel bloated and nothing fits you also feel insecure and not yourself. I get it. It’s all about the feels. I have biggirl comfy baggy pants for those days 🤣🤣

I want to be vegan but everytime I start my stomach and gallbladder hurt so bad and I get a lot of digestive issues which then causes a lot of anxiety. I love beans but I'm finding they may be the reason also pasta, bread and I couldn't even tell you what else. I tried to eliminate those and still ended up in pain!! It makes me want to scream! When I ate Keto I had zero pain or digestive issues so I know it's not my gallbladder. I do not want to eat Keto and I feel so stressed and upset. I had my first child at 19 and I was ideal weight with zero food issues but gained a ton while pregnant and never got myself back to feeling like me again. My oldest is an adult now. I will love my body at it's current weight if I KNOW I am eating the best for my body but like I said, when I do start to eat the way I want to eat (vegan) I have so much pain and it's really harmed my relationship with my body because it's not working with me on this and the heart palpitations and pain means my body is trying to tell me something and doctors really are at a loss but have not done food sensitivity tests. I didn't think I would get so emotional writing this! I've developed PCOS after my second child and digestive issues and a lot of constant pain right before my third pregnancy. Keto has been the only way for me to eat with no pain but I just can't make myself eat like that! So for over 13 yrs I've dealt with chronic pain and swelling of both my gallbladder and stomach. If it really flares up, I will eat chicken and keto veggies until it calms down a bit which within days the pain goes away.

Hi friend, what you describe sounds like IBS. Sometimes IBS can flare up especially during triggering times like pregnancy. Foods that are high FODMAP like legumes, garlic, onion, wheat, rye, and barley can be very triggering to people with IBS. Keto is low FODmap so it makes sense that this may ease your discomfort. I encourage you to seek a dietitian that can help you narrow down your trigger foods so you can find a sense of relief in the cause of your discomfort, Dr's can refer you to one so it's covered by insurance.

You lost weight because you’re on a cleansing diet not a nourishing diet. I hope that you change your diet so your child can be healthy and fully capable when they get older.
