You are a very beautiful young lady. You don't need anything to be different in your body. There's nothing wrong there, it's all in your head. If you feel like you need to loose some weight or gain some weight, do it, but only because of your health, cause we all know that being a little overweighted is not good for our health, no matter how old we are. But i repeat, do it only because of that and because you wanna look pretty for yourself, not society which is, by the way, full of inperfect people everywhere who you don't even know. Don't loose your head over this perfect people mania that's stuck in our society, where a few pounds more make you obese and a few pounds less make you a freak in the eyes of who, assholes, yes, assholes!
Take a look at yourself in a mirror and you will see there's nothing wrong with your body, you are gorgeous, for Christ's sake! Damn, I wish i had a girlfriend like you!
Sorry for my english but i really wanted to say something cause i'm tired of watching so many women complaining or crying or being depressed because they gained a little weight or any other nonsense, and it really makes me angry when people suffer for things that shouldn't be even considered as important, cause they're not! It's all about looking pretty for others instead of yourself. It's all about saying, hey, look at me, don't i look pretty? Am i gorgeous enough for you? If you get a yes, you smile, if you get a no, then you cry and kill yourself in the gym working out 8hrs a day until you loose those freaking pounds that made you look -ugly- in the eyes of an asshole.
Start looking for your own approval, not others. Do i look pretty to myself, yes! Do i not look pretty to you, well, who cares? Maybe we have different points of view about what's pretty and what is not, right?

I work in a nursing home and it really gave me a new view of things when ladies talk about what they enjoyed doing when they were younger, dancing, going to beach etc. They r now v old struggling with arthritis, many are bed bound can only get up with help of many staff and a hoist just to sit in a chair. I think why am I waisting time caring about my ridiculous flaws I will never be as young as I am today. So I-ve developed a trick for those days I feel too conscious about my looks. I imagine I am like one of these old ladies in the home, but thro some magic technology I-ve managed to time travel back to now to relive parts of my life. I look in the mirror and smile and think look how young I look! look my legs work! I can move all my fingers! For me I still hav my parents and think wow see they r still hear to talk to! My brother calls me and I talk to him secretly thinking wow it-s so good to hear his voice! It-s silly but it works for me. All those things the old ladies miss I make a point of appreciating for a moment until my brain gets itself out of that critical, self pitying mood. Life is just too short for self pity and in the end if we r lucky enuf to grow old we need good memories to get us thro not -oh I spent 2 days crying on the sofa cuz I felt too self conscious over my chubby thighs to go hang out with friends again-.
A teacher once said to us at school -u wud care less about what others thot of u, if u knew how often they did- in the context of while u thinking about ur own flaws, everyone else is more concerned and has their full attention on their own-.

Hello-I have been doing your workouts and watching your videos since January. I think you have a great, toned body that is exactly what I wanted (which I now have) thanks to you. I absolutely love your personality. You remind me to have fun with fitness, even outside when I am at the park with my kids. Another thing is none of your flaws were noticeable and I am still having a hard time seeing your leg that-s bigger. I was having a really hard time being critical of myself today thinking to myself that I haven-t made very much progress (which I have lost 17. 5-) I-m 5-8 and was 135 lbs. now I am 140lbs but have to realize that I have built a lot of muscle. I-m really having a hard time with weighing more when I am working out so hard. It makes since but I often ask myself if I should go back to not working out so I can get back to the previous weight. I am so in my head about this. It makes me so depressed on some days. I love how honest you are and am so happy I came across this video. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you lived by me, I would totally have you as my trainer. I feel a lot better. -

Oh, Lucy! I get and understand you in so many ways, as a girl, always&always torturing myself, my body, like, yes, skinny=success, you cant be enough slim, if i loose weight=my life will be so great, stressless, irrespective of my surroundings letting me know, I am beautiful: . I know, its no use me (and others) telling you, you are beautiful (you truly are) and how many girls would be in your place. 'cause deep down you know it, but your mind tricks you constantly. Sorry, for my long monologue, but you got me, yesterday i also had such a break-down: . and this morning I read something that really hit me: -allow yourself to thrive and be happy-. You are so brave to put this video out and letting us girls/boys know we are NOT alone in this shit; -! and, however I am a random gal from the internet, but im telling you, you are a wonderful woman, with your strugles and challenges and stretchmarks! Big hug

It-s programming! We all are facing up to the realities and consequences of before we started to re build!
P. s. collagen powder has helped me with a facial injury caused by a malicious company who made face cream with sodium benzoate and citric acid! I used their lip salve, face cream and hand cream! Only took 2 weeks to break down the collagen matrix under the skin! This is 3 years later as the skin collapsed on the surface around the mouth and the nasal lines to the mouth corners! It is helping fill out the skin while you put a table spoon in your tea each day x it-s great for restructuring the skin-

Did your cellulites look better after weight loss? I am 85 kgs and I-ve not had them until I reached 80. kgs. They-re really visible when i stand up rn and I-n scared that they-re never gonna look better even if i work hard. And my tights are huge too. Your tights/legs look amazing even you have a little loose skin (as you said cuz i don-t see any) your skin looks amazing not like loose saggy skins i saw before. What should i do to not have a lot of saggy skin after weight loss? If you said these in your videos i am sorry for asking again, i can-t understand English by listening properly

I suffer a lot from low self-worth and self-esteem. I'm not living a happy life and I avoid a lot of situations because of how I look. I lost 70 pounds over the past 2 years and thought it would make me happier. I was 298 pounds. I did a lot of damage to my body. I'm still overweight and now I have a lot of saggy skin, cellulite and stretch marks especially on my arms, shoulders and back. I feel disgusted when I look in the mirror. I work with a therapist and started micro needling treatments but this summer I refuse to wear sleeveless shirts or dresses. Thanks for this video.

many years ago I was standing in front of a mirror with my father. And I saw a picture of him. I was shocked. I told my father, -I don't see your image in the mirror in life. You are different in real life. - Since then, I have realized that our shortcomings in the mirror are invisible to other people. Plus everyone sees the same world differently. Unfortunately, it doesn-t help, sometimes, to please ourselves because we are left with an image in the mirror. Although I found that if you look at -the image of the mirror- image in the mirror, you may see -yourself from the side-.

At the end of the day it all boils down to loving yourself. The more you love yourself, the more you understand that your body isn't your identity. We don't feel bad about something that we are not attached to. It's like distinguishing a person from his failure, making him understand that if he failed at a task doesn't mean he IS a failure. In the same way, no matter what you look like, what your bodily flaws are, they are not you. You are much more than your loose skin and flabby stomach.
Still don't know if that makes sense to anyone --

Here's a small trick I learned recently (at 60) Try thinking of your body as separate from you, she is a sturdy loyal companion who works hard every day, in spite of the hardships we sometimes put her through. By seeing her as apart from you, you will be less unkind to her. Would you be so criticising to a friend? No, you would be kind and supportive and appreciative. See if this helps. I have spent a lifetime hating my poor body, she has seen me through abuse and injury and is still keeping me upright. I try now to be a better friend: -)
