  • Hello my arikachus!
    I started sharing my fitness journey probably about a little over a year ago in hopes to inspire you guys that exercise and eating healthy will make you feel amazing, because that's what it did to me! I don't want you guys to face what I do, but sometimes it is hard to have so many eyes on you and judging you about my body. I get it, I don't have the perfect body. I never thought I did, and I struggle with my body daily, which is why I always strive to improve my lifestyle, daily. This is why I go to the gym, this is why I eat healthy, and this is why I promote meal prepping and a healthy, fabulous, happy lifestyle. I hope you guys find this video well. I kinda got a little emotional and opened up to things I never do. I just felt comfortable enough now, because I know that when I met some of you guys at GEN BEAUTY you opened up to me! Please write in the comments below if you have anything you want to ask me. I love you guys!
    xoxo Arika

    Juice cleanses don't do anything. The weight you're losing is water weight which comes right back. Why doesn't anybody research these trendy diets?

      Lynsey Moon It does but your body "gets a break " from digesting food. it cleans your system. Its is worth to do it from time to time.

      you can always ask :) If you are going to do juicing for more then 3 days, yes not a good idea but for short period of time is really worth it. It gives you energy and you will glow. If you go to the doctor they give you an antibiotic when you have virus- do you think you need it???

    • @clementinecakee
      @clementinecakee Před 9 lety

      Lynsey Moon I think most people do juice cleanses before a big event to get rid of bloating. They don't usually go on a juice cleanse for more than a couple of days.

    These comments.. so thin girls aren't allowed to want to improve aspects of their body? everyone has different standards for themselves. I'm 5'8 and if I got over 135, I would feel uncomfortable, I like staying in the 125 range. That's MY standards for MY body. The west has this strange fat acceptance thing going on.. If you know you're overweight or you're unhappy with your size you can lose it, but don't expect everyone else to adhere to your standards if you don't want to. If a girl was eating to get more 'curvy' - everyone's like 'you go! good for you girl'. But when someone wants to be thin it's a problem. This is why the west is fat. I'm British our obesity rate is 60% too. It's not okay...

    Looking thru the comments and victoria winter posted this...."problem area? what the actual fuck, I'm literally feeling like a whale" See this is what bothers when reading comments on videos like this...Arika says she doesn't have the perfect body when in all reality she is very tiny and fit then she says she has all these "problem areas" when I'm sure they might look like a problem to her but cmon everyone can look and see the girl doesn't need to diet. I feel like these videos make other girls like victoria winter think if they don't look like Arika they are whales and the fact that Arika is tiny and talking about problem areas and diets blah blah doesn't help. I am not hating it just bothers me that women watch these videos of these tiny fit girls talking about diets and it just pounds away at their self esteem. Nothing wrong with wanting to get healthy I'm all for that but don't feel down on yourself in any way if you don't look like Arika girls you are beautiful no matter what!! :)

    • @AngelPrimsepski
      @AngelPrimsepski Před 9 lety +3

      Bran M How do you think she got to the weight she is now? Maybe because she ate healthy? Besides, she isnt ''dieting'', shes being healthy so she feel good on the inside. Thin girls can be insecure too. It isnt fair that they are already feeling down on themselves and then people have to make it worse by telling them their insecurities are unacceptable. People need to quit comparing themselves to others, if a thin woman eating healthy or pointing out her flaws makes a person uncomfortable, then let it be motivation to change. OR people can always be more positive and let it show that no matter how thin you are or how good you look, you will always have insecurities, so just love yourself where it actually counts? Change yourself and YOUR outlook on life, stop trying to change the people around you.

    • @brandiva96
      @brandiva96 Před 9 lety

      SunnyNutQueerios
      First off I am not trying to change anyone and I am happy with myself and my body but obviously by some of the comments posted in this video she is making others not feel good about themselves! It is obvious to anyone with eyes that Arika is skinny I'm sure she has insecurities about her body I never said she didn't. Please don't tell me to change my outlook on life I have a great outlook as in I just want everyone to love themselves no matter their size or shape. Maybe you should message Arika and tell her this instead of me. She obviously isn't happy with her body so maybe you need to tell her to love herself where it counts. Everyone has an opinion and its not gonna be the same as yours. I appreciate your thoughts and opinions but it seems you don't have the ability to do that with others. All I wanted was to bring attention to the fact that this video was making some girls feel bad themselves.

    • @AngelPrimsepski
      @AngelPrimsepski Před 9 lety +1

      Bran M My comment wasnt addressing you, it was addressing the people who got offended just because a skinny girl wanted to eat healthy and had some insecurities. I can accept peoples opinions just fine, but its a bit ridiculous to get mad because someone wants to diet or complain about themselves and its not ok because shes skinny, that is a bit discriminatory. She should love herself the way she is too but shes not the one on someones video telling them how offended she is either (again, not that you did that).

    • @brandiva96
      @brandiva96 Před 9 lety +1

      SunnyNutQueerios I understand where you are coming from....and I do hope girls can watch this video and not compare themselves to Arika or any youtuber for that fact. I don't mean to cause issues I just want everyone to love themselves for who they are especially young girls and women because we are the ones who see all the images of how we are suppose to look thru media. :) Hopefully they can all learn to happy regardless of their size.

  • @amandarose7783
    @amandarose7783 Před 9 lety +166

    Am I honestly the only one who does not find her inspiring at all especially for fitness , tell me how healthy it is to not eat for a week and just drink juice , if anything your body is going to think you're starving and when you introduce real food back into your diet you're going to retain it that much more . I feel like if anything she promotes an extremely unhealthy body image of starvation diets and juice "cleanses" or "diets" be a normal human being , eat food , portion control there's tons of options other than starving yourself and drinking juice

    • @Andiedash
      @Andiedash Před 9 lety +6

      I know right, I was like WTF while watching the "juice cleanse" part. Starve yourself is never healthy and it actually makes you gain weight. I like Arika but I don't understand why she does that.

    • @minivann6943
      @minivann6943 Před 9 lety +13

      The only thing she's got to change is her mindset about health and fitness. Obsessing over juice cleanses is also a form of eating disorder, it's not healthy

    • @Stephanie-nk9oh
      @Stephanie-nk9oh Před 9 lety

      yeah juice cleanses don't work I don't know what gets all these girls obsessed with them! you don't lose any weight and it doesn't cleanse you. Pressed juices lose all the nutrients when they're pressed actually LOL it's more of a cleanse just eating a healthy diet!

    • @zaqwertify
      @zaqwertify Před 9 lety +3

      amanda talluto Me too! I feel like she should be super ripped and muscular with the way she says she works out ALL the time "hardcore" and the way she eats. She does have a bangin' body, but it always looks exactly the same to me. I'm just thinking based on the way she goes on and on about her diets + exercise, she would have more visible progress, like abs or something lol, ya know?

      Jayla Koriyan Juice cleanses are completely useless anyways. The only reason why a juice cleanse would be necessary is if your liver was failing, and if it was, you would need medical attention. It's just another expensive fad diet.

    I need to be brutally honest here. I feel she is fooling EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US!

      That's not a fair comparison. You don't make videos talking for half hour at times about how you are insecure about your nose just for validation either. You are simply taking pictures of yourself. Who really doesn't have something about them that they are insecure about??!! We all do.

    Are you kidding me Arika? Your stomach is the best part of your body, its so nice/flat and toned you should be so proud of yourself for working for the body you have cause people (me) would die for a body like yours, the ones calling you fat and your midsection fat are probably just overweight people who envy you and your body, because you work hard for it and they dont do shit, jealousy is strong, dont let the haters get to you.

    Arika, watching this video is absolutely insane for me! I wish I could be your size and have the mid section that you do. There are things about my body that I do like but I know that my stomach and sides is where I struggle the most too. Watching your video makes me think that no matter who you are you're always going to have insecurities. I think you look amazing and you should be proud of your progress and let it motivate you to push harder. The people that hate on you probably don't do nearly as much work as you do or they've started their fitness journey before you. Don't let anyone bring you down, do this for yourself.

    Just noticed most of you guys in the comments are really rude and so inconsiderate. Just because you think she's thin and that her "problem area" isn't a problem and maybe she's trolling or something like that but it's obvious her INSECURITY. People tell her that her stomach isn't skinny so she tries to get fit there and now people are saying she's too skinny...like you're really not helping, that's what's wrong with society and why there so many ED's. It's obvious that your comments gets read and even if it's your opinion, doesn't mean you have to always express it knowing how it can easily affect someone. She's trying to improve herself to make her happy and healthier and just wants the people commenting to be proud of her but nothing is honestly good enough for some of you. If you have a issue with her video, take it else where please.

    Your story really made me tear up a little. I do have the same problem area as you have and get a lot of critcism because I am consantly trying to improve it. I love seeing you working so hard on YT/snap and I really hope that you will achieve the look you want to get eventually. I believe you can do this Arika! I think that you are beautiful, keep it up!

    you are beautiful the way you are and you shouldn't let others pull you down like that Arika. people who say rude and mean things to others are the ones who are going through rough times and not satisfied with their lives. so don't think too much now girl. love you. :)

    you really surprised me when you said that your stomach was your problem area because to me thats your most attractive part! also, the reason why I watch your videos is because Im trying to live a healthier lifestyle. and I constantly look up to you as far as dieting and fitness lifestyle. thats for sharing so much of your life with us arika. you motivate me to live a healthier life!

    Girl, my midsection is also a big trouble area for me. So I know exactly how it feels. Either way, you are GORGEOUS and if I could wear sexy outfits like you (maybe I can, but I lack your confidence!) I would! People are ALWAYS going to say something mean. Just ignore them! You are beautiful and you motivate a lot of people, myself included! I'm so glad I found your channel! I had a ton of fun making a marathon of all your vids :)
    Love ya girl!

    @autie9886 Před 9 lety

    Wow I loved this video. It's sooo real and it's crazy how I look at you and other fitness people and I'm so jealous of them and how they are so perfect and stuff like that. But this video makes me realize that everyone has trouble with body image. And it's so easy to forget that. Love you for this video

  • @isabellkim
    @isabellkim Před 9 lety +2

    Why are people being so mean to this girl? She is trying to tell you all something that is relatable to many young females. It takes a lot for someone to share an insecurity. If you don't like what she's saying or disagree in a negative way, the "x" is right there. Just don't watch her video. She is sharing something that can help someone struggling with body image.

    @missmimiwallace Před 9 lety

    I can't believe anyone (ESP you) would even think you have a big tummy, your body is amazing! Seriously, you have a fab body, your thin but you don't look sickly thin, you look fit and very in shape. You inspire me so much, I would love to see more videos about working out, eating and motivation, not many people actual motivate me, most just depress me even more which is the last thing I need to help loose weight, get healthier and live healthier. You have something special, don't listen to hate, keep doing you and keep sharing it. There are many people, including myself it really helps and we need that positivity. It's a blessing, thank you! Many blessings and lots of love!

    guaranteed the people making those comments are miles from perfect and most probs unhappy about THIER bodies. I'm so shocked, when you said your stomach was your problem area i was like 'huh???? why???!' Im naturally slim myself and my stomach looks nothing like that! i wish it did! people will always say nasty things!

    You are a fitness inspiration. It's nice to see a woman with a great body and actually worked for it. It is ridiculous that people say you're mid section isn't that skinny. You look flippin gorgeous. I aim to get to that level of fitness. You do you girl.

  • @erindelrey
    @erindelrey Před 9 lety

    Arika, don't listen to the negativity! You're only human & no one is perfect. I have the SAME problem area! Everything else is skinny but my tummy tends to pudge esp if I eat aloooot. It sucks because yes it is really hard to make it stay fit esp if there is so many good food around you, girlll. I always get self conscious when I wear bodycon dresses bc ppl tend to think I'm preggo. If I just keep being active and trying to stay fit, hopefully my pouch won't be too noticeable.
    Haha, btw I loveeee u, Arika! 💕💕
