BARIATRIC wellness coach, Michaela Miller, had a typical family upbringing - she did well at school, she played sports, and she enjoyed family holidays in the sun. -On the surface, I was happy, I thought I was happy, Michaela told Truly. But under the surface, Michaela was struggling with pressures surrounding her weight which led to a really negative relationship towards food. Reflecting on childhood pictures, Michaela says: -Now I see a normal, young woman, but at the time I was made to feel like I had a major weight issue. In 2016, Michaela weighed 300lbs - the heaviest she had ever been. She realised that she wanted to regain control of her health. Now Michaela has lost 165lbs and she trains others in healthy living too. For Michaela, the key to a healthy weight is a healthy mindset: -Make the WHY of why you-re losing weight all about your health

i really relate to her story, being told you were fat when you actually were at a normal weight really affects your self-esteem. growing up I was thin size girl but then puberty hit and I gained weight and all of sudden everyone was saying I'm overweight. Mind you the highest weight I was at the time was 160-170 at 5' 7 (I was 100-120 before puberty), playing volleyball and physically active. Had I known I was fine at the time, I wouldn't feel the need to starve myself or avoid eating in front of my parents to avoid judgment which has led to me having a horrible relationship with food. I have gained so much weight since highschool but I'm now trying to build my relationship with food by eating more consistent healthy small meals and working it out even when my mom still expect me to starve to death to lose weight. All that to say that anyone who experienced a similar childhood, we can do this!

ONE THING I've noticed in women who lose massive weight through intense workouts: They look more MASCULINE than they used to. Yes, they lost the weight, but they lost part of their FEMININITY along the way. I get that it's also the age difference between their former selves and their newer, lighter ones, but there is no denying that their faces look more feminine when they were heavier. I think that the intense exercises cause testosterone releases in larger doses, and that if they did just keto and intermittent fasting with very light cardio, they would not only still look feminine, but they would look even more attractive by being healthier and thinner the non-intensive way.

They always make the parents to blame. If they try to put road blocks in place to stop the overeating their harming her. If they don't try to stop the behavior they're to blame for her over eating. WW is literally the program that teaches portion control and calorie counting. I understand it didn't work for her but don't blame the parents for trying. She didn't like her body at 300 lbs but she shades her parents for trying to intervene. Thankful her journey has been successful which is all a parents wants.

Congratulations, Michaela! You go, girl! I absolutely loved that she said, as such a gorgeous young woman, that the looks don-t matter, beauty fades, what it-s really about is being and feeling healthy! She didn-t just want to look better and boost her ego, she wanted to FEEL better! And now she-s helping other ladies (and gents probably haha) to do the same, making a lasting positive impact on this world. She seems so kind and I wish her nothing but the best!

What I don't understand about these people that choose to get weight loss surgery is that, they claim they couldn't lose the weight on their own, but as soon as they get the surgery they're going hard at the gym. The same thing it seems they could've done without getting the surgery.

My mum encouraged me to eat weight watchers meals to lose weight when I was 9. That was her response when I cried to her a boy in my year called me a fat monster. Love my parents and they really did their best with food education etc but they only had limited knowledge back then.

SMH it-s parents fault if a child is overweight not the child. Whose buying groceries? The parents. Who schedules the kids I-m sports parents.

She is full figured and heavy boned. She was never going to look skinny cause she has a larger frame. athletic build. Shame on her family.

I got healed from hsv1/2 introduction and the response of #Doctorapala when I saw recommendations, Proud to be an African American.

Good for her I'm happy she's feeling better, but can we get some stories from people who haven't had the surgery?
reply

Am I the only one wondering why her parents -Idolize- diet culture, her mom seems pretty overweight at the end.
