BOOM!
⚠️ Warning ⚠️ You will cry in this video! Such a powerful message. I really needed to hear this 💗 🍑
Call him “Wally” - because you found him on a wall 😬
Rainbow History ha ha ha ha ha I bloody love that!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
😂 great name x
🤣👏🏼
I'm 50 and I've hid in my home most of my life missing so much because of my life ,so trust me girl,your instance is nothing..You at least get out and have a life.BRAVO!!! YOUR BEAUTIFUL
Promise me you will get out this week? xx
OMG..... were so bloody alike!!!!! I used to be a Les Mills instructor..... I was as fit as a flea and my classes were constantly full. I suffered a horrendous break-up (narcissistic damaging human being that she was) I gave up my licenses and stopped exercising. The ex used to teach at the same centres that I went to. So ..... It was an impossible situation and I didn’t have the strength to hold my head high and carry on. I gained 3 stone. When I tell you now that I lost a whole circle of friends as I actively avoided ALL situations that could possibly bump into the old crowd because I was so ashamed of how I had “let myself go”. Also with my autism.... the fitness was my comfort blanket and I had it ripped from under me. I can’t read people, so I am easy target for manipulation and narcissists. So...... believe it or not.... I moved house, still in the same county, but, far enough away not to bump into the old crowd. Two months ago, I heard via a work colleague, incidentally, that we both knew this same person. She used to take my combat classes, she always had the widest smile and the biggest heart. It unfolded that actually, the had endured and survived breast cancer two years ago, and sadly, she has now been diagnosed with multiple terminal brain tumours, and lung cancer. How shallow am I?? I still couldn’t even think about going to see her in case any of those from my past would be there. Instead..... I sent a card with some kind words. Well beautiful one...... after watching this tonight...... I will be taking a deep breath, putting my big girl pants on, and will call her and arrange to go and see her! If anyone judges me at a time like this, it says more about them than it does about my weight gain!! Love you gal xx
Amen, your story it's agreeable.
That is really 💕 lovely x Well done.
Thinking of all the things I’ve skipped because I’m ashamed of my weight and crying along with you. ❤️❤️❤️
It is never too late to start things up again Elizabeth xx
Needed this! ❤️ I’ve put on weight and constantly feel embarrassed to go out or if my old friends see me and think ‘she’s got bigger’... so what?? I’m enjoying my time, I’m grateful for my health and so so lucky to be on this earth. To think anyone ill person would kill to have my healthy body. Thank you Lauren, so much 😘 you have a heart of gold 💛
Exactly Kizzie, you are so right! x
So needed this as I have a funeral to attend and feel embarrassed of my weight I put back on. ❤️ I’m going. Thanks
OMG Jessica! I am so OVER THE MOON for this comment! Thank you
Lauren you should become a life coach!! I've literally never come across anyone who I identify with on so many levels. I have hope listening to you that one day I will live and not just exist.
Thanks for sharing your genuine raw emotion in this video..... Hugs. ❤️
It will happen Zoe, we both need to put the effort in
I honestly hardly ever go out - at all! Literally because I feel horrible in myself because a lot of the things I hear are “you’d be happier if you were skinnier. You’re too big to wear that. Join a gym. No ones going to want to be with you like that.” I can’t even tell you the times (99%) I’ve cancelled plans because I feel “too fat” or “too ugly”. It’s such a long journey to go to get an ounce of confidence back. I’m loud and crazy but people think I’m confident af - far from it 😢 I feel like you are the friend everyone needs in their life. I can’t thank you enough for this video. Thank you for opening up and sharing your story. You’re so right. There’s so much more to life. When you say it out loud it just feels more real. To stop living your life because you think you’re too fat or ugly or too skinny etc for society now sounds crazy to me? We need to stop worrying and be happy 💕💕💕💕
I’m in tears , I have lived on meal replacements for 6 days as I’m meeting friends soon that I haven’t seen in a while, why oh why !! Your video has touched me massively because every word you said is true , just to be happy with ourselves , I’ve missed out on gorgeous food for the best part of a week because I’m embarrassed with my weight , you are amazing in every way and a beautiful soul. Thankyou xxxxx
This broke my heart! You are beautiful. Please throw them away!? ❤️
Call him reign, because he was found in the rain and he is royalty.
Haha thank you Antonia x
Lauren, my heart broke when you were in the car talking - it really landed with me. You are so real and it's always appreciated. I've been following you for years now and you, at your core, have never changed. Thankyou so much for just being YOU. Much love as always xoxo
Sending love, thank you so much Ash x
I was crying with you and then burst out laughing with the “YUM” at 08:00 😂 god I love you Lauren you are the REALEST! I look forward to your videos every week!
I nearly cancelled a thing on Friday because I was feeling self conscious but I went and had a BALL! You are so right xx
Thanks Jennifer, glad you went to your event!xx
I love your message today! I can relate! My weight has gone up and down, and my confidence with it. I cared more what people thought when I was younger. Now that I am in my 40s I really don't care what others think, and it has been the best form of freedom! I agree that you are amazing! ❤️
Thanks Sira xx
You're f-ing amazing. Thank you for the inspo.
You are so amazing Lauren, don't ever forget that 💗
WE SHOULD HAVE A MEET AND GREET OMG ❤️ (The world needs Lauren) sending love xxx
This is how iam now , im in a mess im so wrapped up in my weight gain ive stopped living, i cried watching this xxx🥹
Yes! Yes! Yes! I love this message. Thanks Lauren for reminding us all this matters xx
Freaking love you. I hope you know how many people needed to hear that!!!
"The world needs you as you are right now" Thank you for that!! Sending lots of hugs your way
You are amazing. We all love you Lauren ☺️ x
Aww Lauren you made me cry - I'm sorry that you had to lose 2 really important people in your life. My work colleague has become one of my best friends and I can't imagine her not being there anymore. Big hugs to you & thanks for the pep talk X
I just cried with you in this video. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. You're such an inspiration and the realest person on CZcams x
I can really relate to this Lauren thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏾You are amazing and you will reach your goal 🥅 again. I have followed you for a few years now and your journey is real and relatable and and I’m cheering you on though the highs and the lows. Thank you for being a beautiful soul thank you thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Aw lovely, you are amazing and LOVED and exactly where you are meant to be in this moment. I have missed out on things because of my weight as well and its not somthing that should hold us back or beat our selves up about x
Thought of this quote as well. “There’s always failure. And there’s always disappointment. And there’s always loss. But the secret is learning from the loss, and realizing that none of those holes are vacuums.”
That's a lovely quote, thank you. Love you x
I went through every emotion watching this video. When you said you're needed and the world needs you that hit me hard, and I'm sure a lot of people will feel the same. I think that is something we should all be saying more often and reminding ourselves of daily. We should never be convincing yourselves otherwise and letting anything hold us back. You are also very much needed, even to the people like me that you've never met before, because every single video of yours I watch I'm always feeling so much more positive about life in general and that bit of advice you gave was exactly what I needed to hear today :)
Your words are singing to my heart and so true I will remember your words every day xxx
Thanks Claire xx
Bless your heart Lauren 💛 don't be so hard on yourself. Sometimes it is hard to step outside of your own mind and see how others see you.. Love your new videos, raw yet refreshing.. Good on you girl! x
Thank you, what a lovely message to hear right now in my life. I lost over 100 pounds in 2017, in 2018 I realised the weight-loss hadn't changed my lack of confidence in myself, and I still couldn't put myself out there. I slowly started gaining weight back and became depressed, but I began taking more chances - slowly that crippling anxiety and self esteem issues have started flooding back, and it's heartbreaking. Worrying about my appearance instead of being in the situation with the people I love
Sending you so much love, thank you for sharing this
You are so brave❤❤❤ I appreciate your vulnerability and truth. Jackie would be so happy that you went to that event and received all that love.
I feel this so much. To many missed opportunities. I need to learn to listen to this message. Its hard though.
Awww Lauren **BIG HUG**! Thank you for your videos, you never fail to put a smile on my face and brighten my day. When you said "guess where im going" my instant thought was "mcdonalds" lol. Top fan right here.
@loseitlikelairen let me just tell you this is the realest video I have encountered . I was listening /watching as I cleaned . Having a bit of a rough day myself and hearing you encourage people past their own insecurities .. encourage them to just live .. you are the real deal Lauren and I appreciate you so much for being transparent about your thoughts .. this will change and impact people ❤️🙏
Lauren you are so real thank you for these real words ❤️
Love you 💕
Love you too Wanessa x
Thank you for these words. Thank you for your honesty. Thank you for just being you. 💗
Thank you for watching Devyn xx
I love the jumper;) and you too, doesn’t matter if you feel big or small. Life is always changing, you are strong and you can change things when you want to! Xxx
Love this. Needed this. Glad you're back. :)
Your words are so raw and ring completely true. Thank you.
Thank you so so so much Jamala
I know this was an older video, but this is EXACTLY what I needed to hear. Thank you for being you, exactly as you are 💗
You are amazing! Thank you for being so open and vulnerable... I can relate x
Thank you for watching lovely x
You’re amazing for sharing this. I’ve definitely felt that way before and been in that same panic situation before something. You’re so right, life is too short and to be honest everyone’s worried about themselves, no one is reaaaally paying attention to all the things we think ❤️ love you!
Exactly Alyssa, life is about living! Love you x
This is so relevant thank you for talking about rejoining the gym and seeing friends again and how daunting it is returning but I’m glad you have
Thanks Anna xx
Thank you for this video! Currently going through the very things you’ve touched in this video. You’re always so real and inspiring!
Thank you so much Julie ❤️
Relatable af. Taken me so long to understand that you can’t spend your whole life worrying about what everyone else thinks about you.
All those negative thoughts do is hold us back. Even worse when we’re just ASSUMING what other people are thinking.
&I also do the chin covering thing 🙈
Exactly Sara ❤️ Sending you love x
YOU are the person I needed right in this moment, your recent videos are getting me through. thank you xx
Love you Laura, thank you x
Lauren I really needed this video. I really needed to hear your message. Thank you for being my light today💖💕 thank you for sharing your thoughts and your stories, thank you for being you and all that you do for you followers💕💖
You are so welcome Yvette x
You got me into tears.....the feeling of regret is always a deep pain and you are so right.....we can only live now and make the best out of it. Thank for reminding me❤️ That bear looks like his name is Snuggles....just intuition. 💖
hey Lauren
Maryam here from Ireland
Just wanted to say I love you and I love watching your videos I literally get excited when you put up a new video
I was so delighted that you’re back here so please keep your videos coming
I’ve been following you for the last 4 years. I’m leading up Renovating the innovation room at work and I’ve asked them to put up an inspirational quote which is “Believe” (which I picked up from you )
Keep doing what you’re doing because you’re absolutely awesome!
Love
Maryam
I am seriously so happy to watch your videos again. You’re heart is just so warm. Thank you so much for returning to CZcams. I know you don’t think it’s a big deal, but it’s such a wonderful part of my day!
Oh my freaking god you are amazing. I really appreciate your videos and really needed it today 😙😙
Thanks Rosey xx
You ARE amazing! I need this channel in my Life!🥰🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
This is how I feel, I let my weight/ mindset stop me doing things. I want to make a change. You are inspirational. 😊
This has helped me so so much ive literally been had these moments on and off for a month.....steps... you're right just take steps xx
❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing this Lauren. I can relate so much. I feel like you're talking to my soul.
Thank you so much xx
Awww Lauren. Bless you. We all have regrets. I’m certain they don’t hold it against you! Peace xx
Thank you Reggie x
Thanks for being so honest hun, this video was so real and relatable. Like a big sister being all wise and what not xx
You are so welcome Harriet x
Lauren, thank you for your beautiful, important message. 💗
Thank you Luz x
Omg i want to give you 1000 hugs sweet lady! I have felt this same way. Thank you for pointing out that people as they are now is enough! Thanks so much! And I'm super proud of you for going!!!
Thank you so much beautiful x
Just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing and being so honest. As someone that has just been existing rather than living recently, it was a hard watch. But an important one. Thank you xx
Thank you beautiful Katie x
This has had such an instant big impact on me, thanks for keeping it real Lauren xx
You're so welcome!
Oh Lauren you ever have me in fits of laughter. You and the Bear, love it. So glad you went to your event, you are an amazing lady and so loved for being you. All the best for the new flat xx
Thank you beautiful Karen x
I love you ❤️ your words really hit the mark with me. You are so right, putting our lives on hold for fear of what others will think of us is only hurting us xx
Thank you beautiful x
I'm struggling still Lauren. I hope watching your videos will turn me around.
Seeing you hurt makes my heart hurt. I could relate with everything that you spoke of.
We've all done the same thing Lauren so thanks for telling it like it is. Most of us don't have your courage to admit to the world how life can pass us by so easily.
I feel you Lauren. I missed seeing my dad for what would be the last time because of my weight and how I felt about myself. Same with my cousin's wedding who was like my brother. I just couldn't face everything and get clothes and it hurt him pretty bad and I still feel awful about it. Great message! Great to see you back by the way. :)
Hugs for you my dear, I know what it’s like to isolate yourself under false ideas that you’ll be judged the moment you step out of the door. I still struggle with the thought all the time, but I’m working on it. Your friend knows that you were there in spirit, no pun intended. Live your life for yourself, and your loved ones who are no longer living, and that will make them proud, not trying to lose weight and literally killing your self doing so. Also, Patches or Pat the Bear. So cute.
Thank you. I can really relate. Putting things off until this or that happens. So much related to weight,self worth, etc. I’m new and I’ll keep watching. From Kentucky USA.
Thank you beautiful x
Sending you a HUGE hug from a girl who understands you. The world needs YOU, thank you for your message xxx
Thank you Sarah ❤️
I just wanted to reach through and give you a hug watching this 💔 thank you for being so honest 🤗 xx
Sending a hug back Rora xx
I've avoided family and friend visits for the exact same reason it's a horrible feeling but thank you for bringing back to what is actually important because you are so right! Made me cry x
Thanks Sam x
Omg am totally relating to EVERYTHING you are saying!! This is completely me, I make sooo many decisions about my life based on my weight, I almost hadn't realised the extent until seeing you say this. Once again thank you for ur amazing insight. xx
Thank you beautiful Liz x
This is such a powerful, emotional and real video I know this was filmed 4 years ago but this was just what I needed to hear today. And just to hear I’m needed in life when I’m feeling so rubbish and alone ❤ you are incredible Lauren so strong and so amazing for showing your life on here as raw as it gets! I’m so annoyed I didn’t find your channel before now! 😂 xxx
Thank you, Lauren.
I am crying.
But I will get so much from this once I have let it all out.
I can't remember the last time I looked in the mirror , or went to a function without cringing and feeling the centre of attention for all the wrong reasons.
Self loathing is so destructive.
I’ve been there and here. Awareness is getting out of your head with those obsessive body image thoughts. Learn that being consciously in the moment creates living a best life. Now you are aware...you can thrive on this knowledge. Thanks for sharing your heart.
Thanks Julie x
Sending you so much love. ♡ I hope you're able to let go of this guilt, you nailed it with saying you're amazing! You are!
Thanks Kristy xx
Sending you so much love right now!! Just wanna give you a massive hug. 💕💕
Thank you so much Aoife. I just googled how to pronounce your name and it is so beautiful!! x
You are so lovely and genuine. Please don’t be sad you’re not an embarrassment to anyone xxxx
Thanks Steph 😊
Lauren you are such a scream!!. It felt like you were just talking to me - you are so brave and inspirational. Keep going xx.
Thanks Terry x
Thank you for being so honest x
Loved your video Lauren. You are sooooo real and infectious. I don’t ever comment but I just had too as you have no idea how you can lift ones spirits. You have the ability to make one cry and then within seconds make one laugh , love you ... 😍
Love you Mary! Thank you for commenting ❤️ x
you made me cry... Thank you. But I needed to hear these words. Thank you for sharing this. Sometimes we get so caught up in our worries and self doubt that we forget to really live. I wasted years because of that toxic mindset and I also missed a lot of important events, because I worried everyone would look down on me. And I am still working on it. Giving you a virtual hug. You are not alone in this.
Thanks Marie. Sending you a huge hug back xx
Lauren you are so much then your “loseitlikelauren” name of your channel. You really are a wonderful person- I’m so proud of you and this video. I think everyone can relate to this- I know I can more so now that ever. I avoid doing things with my kids or taking photos with them as I’m like I look awful I’ve gained so much. Thank you for the video- man I will be watching this more than once for sure! Much love Lauren
Thank you so so so much Naza x
Bless you! Hugs and love from Houston!
Thank you Corina x
You're such a gorgeous girl Lauren & I totally needed to hear this today!
Thank you so much Shileen x
I never comment on these things but I just needed to say, thank you. Thank you for coming back, thank you for being so so real, and thank you for being able to say what i can't. I feel like this so often. Always taking myself out of things bc of how I feel I look. I've been getting better but this has helped so much. Thank you for being you. The world definitely needs more of it! ❤
Thank you for commenting Lena, it means the world to me! Sending you love from London x
Someone said patchy the bear and I second it! You’re so so lovely and I needed this today. Thank you for being you ❤️
Thank you Brooke x
Hi Lauren! I started watching your videos 3 - 4 years ago, but have never commented before 🙂 I just want to say THANK YOU for this video. The message resonate so much with me and I needed a reminder to go and enjoy life regardless of how my body looks. Keep being real. You are awesome xx
EVA!! Welcome to the comments!! Thank you so so so much! You are so welcome x
Wow .. this really resonated with me, I’ve said no and cancelled so many things! Will try harder!! But I bet if your two friends could talk with you right now they would tell you that you are amazing too. And also the fact that you have raised awareness of bile duct cancer .. you might be saving lives here!! Time is precious.. and you are an example that even after sad times you are using it the best way you can. Thank you
You are wonderful Michelle! Thank you x
I can't believe how much your video has motivated me to get back out there.
I lost over 10 stone ten year ago and turned into a gym bunny and was loving it then for some unknown reason i stopped going and since then ive gradually gained all that weight back and more, and totally shut myself of from all my friends and family ive missed holidays, birthdays and endless nights out because i cant face people seeing the way i look i literally work myself up so much before i have to leave the house for a night out im just looking for excuses not to go.
Well that changes today im starting my journey again life is too short thanks for video and for being so honest it made me realise im not a freak im not alone and that life is too short to waste.
Looking forward to watching more of your video's thanks again xx
Dale, thank you so much for sharing your story. We are all fed the lie that thin = happy and it doesn't. You deserve to life a beautiful, happy life regarding of the size of your body! Sending you lots of cuddles and strength x
Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! I have been on the weight roller coaster my entire life and have skipped so many meaningful events because I was ashamed and afraid of the judgement. I just found you on Joel Wood's channel and I'm so happy I did. The other day your word was Believe. I was feeling overwhelmed at work borderline tears and I sucked it up and wrote Believe and stuck it on my desk. I will start every day reading that and I thank you Lauren ! You are special 💕💕💕
Awww Love Joel!! Thank you, sending you love for work. You've got this xx
So glad you're posting. Your videos are entertaining and so relatable, This is a message that women (or maybe just me) need to hear. From my sister not swimming with her kids because she doesn't want to wear a bathing suit or me feeling like I don't want to socialise because I have gained back weight after a big loss five years ago. Life's too short.
I certainly is!
a really lovely honest post. there are so many things i have put off due to my weight.
Sending you love Jessica x
The world also needs you, as you are! You amazing human being 💖 xx
Thank you so much Hellen xx
You are not an embarrassment!! You are amazing!!! Love you Lauren ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Love you too Gem, thanks xx
Thanks for your brutal honesty. You are not an embarrassment, you are amazing and I wish we were friends x
Thanks 😊
It’s so true. We do put off our life. For me I avoid pictures. I will take tons of pictures of my kids and husband but I’m missing in them all. It’s like I don’t even exist. When I die my children will not have one picture of me because I looked “too fat”. 😭 that makes me cry thinking about it.
This is heartbreaking. There is a video coming on Wednesday, hopefully it will help even just a tiny amount!
I needed to hear this🥰 I'm so sorry you had to go through that but this was powerful girl! I hope you still feel this way!
Thank you so much xx
Why do we always judge ourselves so harshly? Thank you as always for sharing.
It's heartbreaking isn't it Gina x
Thank you so much! I needed to hear this!! "Your weight is the least interesting thing about you." This is brilliant and life-changing! Love you!
You are so welcome Rene xx
