I used to have a very slim figure and the way i gained weight and became a lot bigger was because it all started mentally & emotionally. I felt inadequate because my parents were abusive & my older brother was a bully to me & i had jealous peers and bullies growing up. I was treated like this perfect little star that everyone thought had no problems or feelings. I felt like i was hated on just for being attractive back then. I didnt feel attractive. I was lusted on by boys and men and i felt like i wasnt getting the respect i deserved for being so kind and good and respectful of everyone. Just unnecessary hate. Ive always been an honest person so when i was able to find the truth in someone they were mad at me because i had caught them in their lies. I was always gentle about it. But i quickly learned that people like to be fake because no one wants to grow & evolve as humans or work on the shadow parts of themselves. People are scared of the truth. And i brought that to light in a lot of people. Later on some people thanked me for it for bringing light and clarity to their situations as a tarot reader. I happily have helped many people free themselves from toxic people and situations so they could work on their own self healing and personal self growth. And now i feel its my turn to give myself that self love & to stop believing everything im not about myself. People have fed me a script of who they think i am and who i should believe i am. But ive always known who i am. I was just afraid to embrace her and allow her to be strong in the moments when people would attack her or try to make her weak in moments she needed to be strong. So i could heal the situation for myself and others. I shied away from so much in my life. I never gave myself the chance to give myself that self love instead of hoping for it from others. The lack of some love from people i cared about shaped me to be who i am today. I can give people love. But only when ive learned to love myself fully and completely so that when i do take care of someone i dont leave myself to rust or get dusty on the shelf. I want to never forget to take care of myself in the process of loving others. Always look out for yourself and others as best you can. And i have struggled with my weight because i believed i wasnt who i truly am. I was a bright, beautiful and slim young lady who had a creative spark and artistic vision and hopes and dreams for her future. All that gets ruined when you give in to the negative lies people tell you. I will start working on myself day by day and be patient with myself. I love the fact that you said the best approach is to work on non numerical weight loss. Keeping numbers out of the journey can be a huge help when the truth is, we should be focusing on how our health feels, how we fit into the clothes we like, how do we move when we jog or run? How do we feel in that moment? How far or fast can you run? How much weight can you lift and how does it feel? If you feel like you are strong and healthy & you as a human being can accomplish a fitness goal for yourself in your own time. youre healthy and strong and youre all set! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you feel beautiful then YOU are beautiful! Even regardless if you believe it or not. Forget hollywood forget looking like someone else! You are you and no one can change you to become something your not. So yea, change how you view the scale. Dont focus on the scale. Its just a number. Its data. What truly matters is how well you are able to walk, run, jog, climb, breathe, lift etc. health comes first! And the beauty will follow as your physique becomes molded by your strong mind and beautiful heart as you treat your body with the kindness and proper nutrients it needs! You are kind to your body. You are kind with your thoughts. You are patient so that you heal the parts of you that you neglected and the painful parts of your heart. Healing mentally and emotionally is all where it starts. And this is the exact way my journey started. If you are already in a healthy space physically dont believe people who tell you youre not perfect enough! Take a look at them. Then take a look at you! They are speaking their reflection of themselves ONTO you! Dont believe anyone who tells you your health is not where it needs to be. Only your doctor can tell you this. If the data is accurate & you feel healthy & well and youre not having any bad symptoms and you can sleep at night, you can run walk jog breathe your feeling normal you can eat your stuff is healthy when its out of the tank. Youre ALRIGHT! believe that you are a beautiful and healthy person. And you will be. Always! This is where im at, and im still learning to eat well and exercise and be easy on myself. :)

Dear Cassey,
I am a 19 year old girl who used 2020 as the year in which I embarked on my fitness journey. Throughout this year I completely changed all my eating habits. I went from eating pure junk food, to eating whole foods (this completely helped with other health problems I had such as acid reflux. Now I can say I completely enjoy eating these types of foods, and my cravings are whole foods now. This year was also the year in which I started to exercise regularly, 5 to 6 times I week, when I feel like. Due to this I reconnected with my passion of running long distances. I obviously lost a lot of weight, and well I admit I am so happy about it. But there was a point in which I became obsessed with the food I ate, the exercise I did, and my weight. I was so restrictive and abusive with myself (I almost gave me an ED. I just wanted to say that I admire what you do, what you believe in and who you represent. You have literally helped me since the beginning of my fitness journey, and watching this video made me realize how much I appreciate what you have to say. Right now I am in the healing process, and I am doing a great job. I am almost in stage 4! So I just wanted to say thank you, for being so outspoken and for well literally help me all through my fitness journey. This video opened up my mind even more. HAHAHA well that I all I have to say, thanks again.
Love, MJ

I just recently realized that I had an bad relationship with food and now I can't control my eating. I don't know what to do and I'm trying to lose weight off my thighs. I'm doing Cross Country, a sport for running, and my thighs chaf so I'm trying to get rid of my thigh fat. I've tried everything, from thigh workouts to restricting my eating and cutting out of carbs. I don't know what to do. Also, I hope I can regain back my confidence with this goal. Sorry if this doesn't exactly align with the message of the video. But I'm pretty desperate.
Also, your videos have changed my life and I'm doing the October workout calendar rn! And my parents don't own a scale because they don't exactly care about weight gain. So I've resorted to measuring my body. Casey, you are definitely someone I look up to. Keep up the great work!

I stand on the scale everyday, but if I skip a day or if the number is higher I just don't care. I mostly use it because I had issues with binging, and seeing what that does with my body (bloating, feeling sick, the number on the scale) helps me see and remember the influence binging has on me.
So if the number is higher and I had a binge: I know why it happened and what I can do. If it's higher without a binge I know that it could be hormones, or the food that I ate (salt, water, etc, or maybe muscle. I don't care what the exact number is, I use it as a tool to be able to confront myself if needed with what binging does to me.
Binging makes me feel terrible, the scale does not.

I bet you could have lifted more when you were heavier than you can now. You have not built any muscle at all since your journey to become stronger. u just shrank your body? How is this healthier. I would have love to see a blood panel to prove how unhealthy You were before you lost twenty pounds. I bet you have the exact same markers as you do now. I wish u would just admit it's diet culture and you wanting to be skinny, but Masking it as a need to be healthy Personally I would respect that more. Just say you believe thinner is better and that's what you wanted. No one can take away your truth and your goals. Don't mask it as health and wellness though.

as an ex gymnast when i got yelled for gaining 400 grams and my mom constantly writing down my weight at home my relationship with a scale is not good at all. Yes, i felt really good when the number decreased. But after I finished gymnastics 2 years ago i of course started gaining weight and not even in a bad way but the number seems too big and every time i step on the scale it becomes higher. i'm afraid of scales i dont want to know how much i weight because now i workout and see a progress in the mirror and if i step on the scale and will see what i dont wanna see i will invalidate my own work. So i'm not planning on knowing how much i weight ever.

i am at stage 3 for years and honestly i do not think it would be a good thing to me using the scale again. and when i am honest to myself even i don't weight myself my weight still influences my mood. when i gain weight (lets say more than 3 kilos) i notice how i lose a part of my self-conciousness and how i get more insecure in front of others bc i don't feel like the best version of myself. i wish this connection wouldn't be there but it still is. so even i eat really healthy and intuitively i still think more about my weight than i wish i would. i wish i could lose this shitty shitness and get over it up to stage 4 ahhh

Thanks, Cassie! I agree with these phases and I also think that its okay to go back and forth between them. Ive been moving from stage three to stage four, but sometimes there are days where I can tell that if I get on the scale, Ill be at risk for going back to stage two. So I just skip weighing myself that day and continue with my normal healthy habits. I just wanted people to know that its okay if your journey isnt linear. All of life exists in cycles. And its okay to acknowledge the cycles of your mentality too. Thank you for being one of my role models! You have really helped my journey mentally and physically.

I read someone about endurance from Evy Poumpouras book that endurance isnt about physical strength, being brave or courageous. Endurance is mental endurance when you take everything that life throws at you by enduring them.
Also she mentions thats how people who survived form concentration camps survived when Hitler use to be in power.
As diabetic I have to accept that I need to keep the food I eat in moderation, substitute or get rid of, and eat foods that you must eat. For me Ive read online thats backed up by facts for me with diabetes I need to be eating salmon, almonds, nuts, avocados, and etcetera.

I'm not sure if you'll ever read this but I cannot thank you enough for all that you and your videos have done for me Cassey! I'm learning so much from you and really admire/appreciate what you stand for. Thank you for showing your vulnerable side and sharing the mistakes you've made in your health journey! For someone like me, who is constantly making mistakes, it's really comforting seeing that someone who is a phenomenal fitness/health advocate has made mistakes too! You're really helping me change my relationship with food and health in such a positive way. Thank you x1000! Love you Cassey: )
