    Hey guys, this is a very personal and scary video for me to post as I cover some topics that I have never talked about online before. Please be kind to myself and to others in the comments and know that I am in no way telling you that losing weight will make you happy nor that gaining weight will make you unhappy. This is my experience and I wanted to share it with you!
    I am sorry it is so long, and up quite late, there was a lot to cover, but I hope you found this interesting!

    You are literally the only other person I’ve found who obsesses over something, then wakes up with absolutely no interest in it. I literally spend like 2 weeks where my brain only thinks about that one thing- my first thought waking up and my last going to sleep...and then it’s just gone. I really want to be able to stick at something and not completely lose interest in it every time.

    “I wanted to lose the emotional weight” - this is so true. 2 years ago I lost a lot of weight and while I looked better in clothes, I was so much happier and healthier. I realised that’s what really matters. Thanks for sharing your experience for us to relate to, through all the ups and downs, I feel a lot more ready to change my life! 😊

    I have watched (no exaggeration) possibly hundreds of weight loss videos. I have never been able to relate to one so much in the years I’ve watched them. This has pushed me SO much. I’ve always felt “ok” in clothes but whenever I’ve looked at myself undressed in the mirror I have felt so much sadness and you’ve completely hit the nail on the head where you said that you are looking at all the emotion built up in your body...honestly this video is amazing. Thank you so much and well done, you’ve done absolutely amazing!❤️

    Watching this makes me super happy! I've been watching a fair amount of transformation videos over the past 5 weeks to keep motivating myself on my fitness journey. I've been doing plenty of research on becoming more fit and healthy, and this video inspires me so much because it is someone actually putting into action small changes over a long period of time. It's so refreshing and motivating to see someone in it for the long haul, rather than quick fixes that don't help in the long run. Thank you for this video x

    I can’t express how proud I am of you and your courage for publishing such a personal video; you are a true inspiration and you can seriously tell how much happier you are in yourself compared to your videos this time last year. Thank you for being so honest and inspiring, seeing your journey has helped me more than anything! 👏🏻💞

  • @yousraelouahabi974
    @yousraelouahabi974 Před 4 lety +137

    how to tell you, you made me realize how sad i am, not happy, lost in my head, i feel bad. I knew it, but I always tried to hide it. I live but I am empty from the inside I live for others I wanted to lose weight for others. I cried several times while watching your video. With your journey and thanks to your words I understood that I had to change my vision of my body from my mind and start to be happy not to go into jeans but to feel good morally. I want to have a goal in my life, I want to be healthy, I want to get out of this depression that sticks to my skin. Thanks for this testimony. i will change and be a happy person. I will come back to you in maybe a few months or a year with my progress. and I will thank you with all my soul, my heart. I am determined and I can do it.

    So I'm currently going through a really tough time, I'm 18, my mums really unwell and I'm looking after her by myself and I've not been sleeping more than 3 hours everyday while doing (and currently failing) ALevels. My mental health is awful and I'm borderline anorexic. I know we're starting in different physical conditions but I feel like you were in a similar mental place to where I am now.
    I really want to get better, I've been fainting a lot, not eating enough and what I do eat is just chocolate.
    I'm going to get better. I'm going to start eating a bit more and making myself meals before trying to build muscle. I need to get better so that I can help my mum to get better and get through chemo. I'm at my lowest now but you've sort of given me a wake up call that I've got one chance at life and I should take it.

    Emma, thank you. I have watched sooo many, truly too many weight loss journey videos and most will share the same information and make the transformation seem straight forward. Thank you for acknowledging the fact that it’s so much more complex than just a calorie deficit, but an emotional, lifestyle change. You speak about your experience with such positivity which is incredibly refreshing and also mega inspiring. Thank you so so much for making this video, you’ve made such an impact on my own personal weight loss approach!! All the best, and congrats on your amazing change! 💕

    Your story really hit me. It's almost the exact same as mine. I'm stuck in the gaining weight, feeling miserable, lonely, comfort eating routine. Constantly going in and out of different ways to lose weight, on a weekly basing and its only making me gain more weight and feel even more miserable. I've never seen a fitness journey video quite like this one. One that focuses purely on the mental side of things instead of the physical side of things. Seeing the complete 360 in someones state of mind and not just the physical change. This is not only motivating but its inspiring!
    This is exactly what i've been searching years for. This is what I needed. I can do this, I can get healthy. Mentally.

      @r3a1itygamezz14 Před 4 lety +11

      1dday if you want to lose weight you need to be in a calorie deficit. First take a look at your daily foods, takeouts, fizzy drinks and alcohol. Slowly begin to cut these out of your diet, one of the biggest mistakes people make is they drink their calories! Milkshakes gotta go. Once you’ve cut out all this junk food then go look at your daily calories burnt I.e your everyday activities. Believe it or not this is actually the easier one to maintain, so you need to make sure you’re burning more calories than your body requires to maintain weight, the fastest way to actually burn calories is by HIIT and weight lifting however you can start by making small changes such as walking every morning and night starting at maybe 3k in the morning and 3k at night. Start doing more household chores such as cleaning the house and dishes. Once you feel ready it’s gym time! Weightlifting is a bit different for men and women due to testosterone and the whole mess so you’re going to see these guys throwing up these huge weights and it can be quite intimidating but DONT LET IT GET YOU DOWN!!!! Focus on you in there you can find workout plans online easily but for the most part you can follow a simple a push pull legs routine working out 3 times a week and keep up with your walking as it goes on. This is just a short outline on how to really get started on losing weight but most importantly you’ve gotta flip that switch in you that’s says “I want to lose weight, I am going to lose weight”. I believe in you you’ve got this!

I, myself, am only 4 weeks in to my weight loss journey, and just started incorporating fitness this week.

    ❤️oh emma. I’ve watched you for years and I don’t know you but it feels like I’m watching a friend and I couldn’t be more proud. I welled up seeing you cross the line at the 10k. I’ve never been into fitness my self but I’ve never been overweight. I gained weight over the last few years only a tiny bit like my arms were a bit soft and my double chin was a bit more noticeable than I would like but then I’ve recently gone vegan(except chocolate) and now I’ve lost weight again. At first I felt good but now I realise I actually want to be strong. I can’t afford the gym and school tires me and makes me feel like I don’t have time. But I’m really gonna try I need it for my head. My grandad died five months ago and it’s only getting harder. I need something to feel proud of. Good luck with everything emma 😊 you’re amazing. I can’t wait to see you get stronger and stronger x

      Hi! I've read the whole text and I recommend you to do some CZcams routines as substitute for the gym. That's what me and a lot of people I know have done and I totally recommend it, specially because is free and you can do it anywhere you want. Hopefully this will help you. :D

    You are so incredibly honest and easy to relate to. I also have a hard time sticking to routine and hobbies, partially due to adhd. I really appreciate this video, and I can’t wait to start making small changes. I want to feel like myself again, not so sad and isolated. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this video.

    This is honestly so inspiring! I have always struggled with my weight. Been going to the gym on and off for 5 years and can't stick to it. I've had PTs and still struggle. I piled on 2 stone in 2018 in my previous job and I was at my heaviest. Between January - April 2019 I lost a stone and since then I haven't been able to shift any more weight. I'm now in a more physical job which keeps me somewhat fit but as you said, I'm using more energy so I eat more. I get home, eat again and just go to bed. I to have always binge ate and eat when I'm bored and comfort eat 😪 I have now, quit the gym AGAIN because I've lost all motivation and I can't seem to get it back 😔 I don't know how you do it and wish I had your motivation. You look unbelievable!

    Hey Emma. Thank you for sharing this. I have watched you for a few years now and I was able to watch your journey live and I have been really inspired by it. Still, I have only watched this video now, well over a month after you put it online, because I have been putting it off. I have been the big girl all my life. I have been bullied for it terribly when I was a kid. I also managed to get a really thick skin through all of that, but it still planted insecurities in me, that follow me in my daily life. Especially in the way I think others see me and with that the way I build up relationships or I don't do that, because it has been holding me back from a lot. I am currently 19 years old. With 16 I had a year where I was really fit, I worked out 3 times a week at least and ate healthy. And I felt so much happier then, because I achieved something and my body was strong and healthy. A lot happened since then and I really wanna get back into the game, but it is so hard. I also developed through all of this a fear of excercising in front of people. I get really anxious and I feel like everybodys is watching me and judging me. Which is obviously not true, but I can't shake it and it made me give up loads of times. So going to the gym is kind of an horror scenario for me, especiallly without any level of fitness. I wanna do it someday, because I know it will help me, but right now… I don't feel like I can do it. So I need to start this by myself, at home. I used to excercise at home, mostly like stuff based on your own body weight and then a few extra weights. But I don't know where to start. I have just picked random workout plans on Pinterest in the past, but I dont think that is the way to do it. Do you have any advise?

  • @lisac7625
    @lisac7625 Před 4 lety

    This is one of the most motivating videos I have ever watched. I have been subscribed to this channel for coming up to probably a year now and I honestly think it is amazing. Everything you do and say comes across so real and genuine. I signed up to my first ever 5K last year because of you and I'm working on myself to achieve a realistic and healthy relationship with my body. It is always a work in progress but 100%, keep doing what you are doing because I fucking love it and it is motivating so many of us. You look unreal. Well done girl 🤘🏼

    This is the best weight loss video transformation talk I've ever listened to. I was watching this at night and will definetily sleep like a baby afterwards after I'm done stalking her instagram. At least now i know that cardio is not only important when it comes to losing weight but also strength training is too.This girl has really spoken to my soul and the way she she described her life was actually prettymuch close to mine apart from the friends part. Anything is possible with change and if she did it, I can also too.I mean change is inevitable but its worth it.

    Glad I came across this video. I felt that there was something wrong with me. I can’t stick to something for long after the passion is no longer there. A lot of self hatred for a couple of years because of my job and weight not feeling confident. You are brave for prioritizing what’s important. You are Inspirational. With everything that’s going on I don’t want to keep this old depressed life. 💕

    I wish I could like this video times a thousand! You are so real and I don’t think you could have explained your journey better. You’re clearly very wise and extremely thoughtful for putting such a clear warning at the beginning for potential triggers. There was a time when such things would have triggered me. Thankfully I’m far away from that now, but I massively appreciated how thought you’ve been here. You’ve done so amazingly well and it’s clear that you are so damn proud of yourself! You’re a massive inspiration. Thank you so much for this video 💕

    Emma, you are amazing and you are so inspiring! I started healthier eating on 23rd January, so far lost 8.5lb, and want to start incorporating some exercise. Something I am fearful off as I know I cant run etc currently, so I am going to start small. I am going to make it my goal to build up to be able to do a park run in the summer. Love the idea of setting non weight related goals, I want to feel that pride when I can say I have managed to run 3k! You have inspired me, keep up the good work!

    Such an inspiration Emma!! For 15 years I have been suffering with depression and ptsd of sexual abuse as a child. And you are right my overweight body reflects that emotional pain. Everyday my body hurts because I have a tense pelvic floor and tensed back all the time. I am 27 but feel like a 60 year old. I am seeing a psychotherapist, hapto-therapist and physiotherapist to try and tackle this once and for all.

    I am so happy to come across this video right now. This has literally been my life and seeing you positive and in a good mindset now gives me hope that I can keep on my fitness and lifestyle journey. Every time I want to start this journey, I am afraid I will start on unhealthy habits again and not realize it until it is to late. I will be 24 in July and have a goal of wanting to be in the best shape physically and mentally by 25, but I also want to stay healthy and not succumb to bad ways again. Anyway, this was all over the place but I am so glad I found your channel and thank you for sharing all of this!

I loved all your tips and I’d honestly love to see more fitness/inspo from you. Maybe where to start in the gym/eating when you first start out? Maybe a video with tips for beginners? Just as a thought! Thank you so much for this video.
