Thank you for joining us on this adventure.

14

I'm Russ and I'm Ashley and this is Hot Couple Chronicles.

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,920
So today we're going to talk about a big part of our lives,

16
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:05,920
our journey with weight loss, health, confidence,

17
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,440
body positivity.

18
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,760
It's a lot more than just weight loss.

19
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,600
It's about pretty much who we are.

20
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,960
And it's an entire five-year journey.

21
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:19,160
We've been, I mean, really our whole lives have been,

22
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:20,440
personally have been on this journey

23
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:21,640
since I was about eight years old.

24
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,240
Yeah, it's been my entire life.

25
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:24,240
I've squirted blood that way.

26
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,180
It was actually, like, I didn't actually lose any weight,

27
00:01:27,180 --> 00:01:29,520
really, until about five years ago.

28
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:30,960
And it kind of transformed everything.

29
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:32,920
And I really do think that we wouldn't really

30
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,240
be on the same journey that we're on without that.

31
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:36,360
Yeah, I definitely not.

32
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,040
Yeah, we're going to talk a little bit more about that.

33
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,920
We've always wanted this podcast to be a lot

34
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,960
about little pieces about our story

35
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:44,400
and a lot about who we are and our friends.

36
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,400
And that's why we share our friends and our family

37
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,000
and our stories.

38
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,080
And so this is a big one.

39
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:51,960
People have been always asking questions,

40
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:52,960
always intrigued about it.

41
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,040
So we wanted to cover this one.

42
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,280
And it should be fun.

43
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:01,280
2019, we found out that your best friend was getting married.

44
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,200
And that was your main motivation.

45
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,600
I just felt like garbage.

46
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,760
And I said, yeah, I didn't lose weight too.

47
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,640
So I decided that we'll do it together.

48
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:14,440
Like, you were my motivation

49
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,560
when we started losing weight.

50
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:17,800
Because I knew.

51
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,680
I was just done.

52
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,400
I mean, at that point in my life,

53
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,600
I was already starting to send those.

54
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,400
And my cholesterol was high.

55
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:26,840
I was pre-diabetic.

56
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,000
Diabetic, my sugars were high.

57
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,120
Oh, it was.

58
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,880
We had four kids to-

59
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,760
I was tired all the time.

60
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,280
My body hurt all the time.

61
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,080
I was not in good shape.

62
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,880
I have to have like, I don't know something about me.

63
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,760
I have to have like a deadline,

64
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,040
like a goal for like an ending.

65
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:45,880
Yeah.

66
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,320
Well, I wanted to lose like 50 pounds.

67
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,600
I was like, my big goal was 50 pounds.

68
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:50,440
Yeah.

69
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:51,280
By her wedding.

70
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,640
And then we started in 2019,

71
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:55,440
we started doing like keto.

72
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:56,280
Yeah.

73
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,120
Pretty much a strict diet.

74
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,680
We went pretty hard on keto.

75
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,600
We even were like, tested our pee with the strips.

76
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,760
Yeah, making sure we're in ketosis.

77
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,400
And we lost like 20, 25 pounds on keto.

78
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,680
Yeah, like 20 pounds-ish.

79
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,360
And then we really got serious and ended up,

80
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,360
I started going to the gym regularly.

81
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,280
And we cut out pretty much all carbs and sugars.

82
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,840
And then we went to high protein.

83
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:23,680
We switched high protein.

84
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:24,520
Yeah, we-

85
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,840
And that's really when I got serious.

86
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,640
We basically went to the carnivore diet

87
00:03:29,640 --> 00:03:32,360
before the carnivore diet was a thing.

88
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,920
Yeah, we did a lot of the protein, protein shakes.

89
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,080
And we went into a major calorie deficit,

90
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,920
like a major calorie deficit.

91
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:40,920
Yeah.

92
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,360
And then COVID hit.

93
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,520
And then we kind of fell off the rails for real.

94
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,440
Well, everybody started eating DoorDash.

95
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:50,280
Yeah.

96
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,120
Everybody started.

97
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,480
Well, everything was closed down.

98
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,200
We had nothing else to do but to eat.

99
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,040
I know.

100
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,160
It was so, yeah.

101
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,520
We didn't have many options.

102
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,080
So we did start out.

103
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,040
Because-

104
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:02,880
And there was like-

105
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,160
There was nothing to do at all.

106
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,280
Yeah.

107
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,520
So then we, but then we decided to turn it into an actual,

108
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,360
like it became our COVID project.

109
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,600
Like when we gained the 20, 25 pounds back

110
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,960
that we just lost and worked our ass off,

111
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,080
then it's like, all right, what the hell?

112
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,040
And so that's when we were like, all right,

113
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,280
let's buckle down.

114
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,040
And that's when we-

115
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,600
And we also determined to lose 50 pounds for her wedding.

116
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:32,440
Yeah.

117
00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:34,600
And you had- That was in May.

118
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,280
And you had like a year to do it,

119
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:38,800
which was a crazy amount of time.

120
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,240
Like it was definitely doable.

121
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,440
It was doable, for sure.

122
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:42,560
I just lost 20.

123
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,040
And not easily, but just had done 20.

124
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,320
I was like, in a year, I could do 30 more.

125
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,360
So 50 was our goal.

126
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,200
Long story short, we ended up losing 75 before her wedding.

127
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,760
And we, at that point, I had finally gotten into

128
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,680
a pretty regular gym routine and did cardio.

129
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,160
And we went to pretty much all protein.

130
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:06,000
Yeah.

131
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:06,840
That was it.

132
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:07,680
That was how we did it.

133
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,480
Protein and a few vegetables.

134
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:10,800
A few vegetables.

135
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:11,720
Very few.

136
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:16,000
Protein was our main, lots of meats and cheeses as well.

137
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,280
And protein, a lot of protein shakes.

138
00:05:18,280 --> 00:05:22,120
We basically went to carnivore before carnivore was a thing.

139
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,760
Yeah, we cut out all sugars, pretty much all carbs,

140
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,000
or as much as we possibly could.

141
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,920
And yeah, our calories, definitely in calorie.

142
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:31,760
Def that.

143
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,400
Oh, I learned that it's okay.

144
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:35,240
Portion control was number one.

145
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,040
I got used to being hungry.

146
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:37,880
Yeah.

147
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:38,720
But-

148
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,000
But you're something like drinks,

149
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,040
and you don't feel as hungry.

150
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,200
Yeah, it's kind of weird how that happens.

151
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,000
But then you start eating more often,

152
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,360
and then we learned that you actually

153
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,280
are better off snacking throughout the day.

154
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:50,120
Yeah.

155
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,320
Yeah, turns out you actually should not be starving,

156
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,040
you should not be hungry, you should be eating all day long

157
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,680
to the point where you feel full just all of the time.

158
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,800
And it should be packed full of good stuff

159
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:00,640
in those little-

160
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:01,480
Well, that's it.

161
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:02,320
It's not-

162
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:03,720
You're not eating empty calories.

163
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,120
But we were eating, our snacks were protein,

164
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,640
or protein shake, or, you know, unsalted almonds.

165
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,160
Bunch of tiny meals and portion control,

166
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,680
and was huge, portion control was like our biggest thing.

167
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,120
And also it's okay to throw food away.

168
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,560
It's okay to not clean your plate.

169
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:20,400
Yeah.

170
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:21,520
And that was huge, that was a really hard one to-

171
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,080
Yeah, it really was.

172
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,480
For sure, because I was always, you know,

173
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:25,800
you were always taught to clean your plate.

174
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,440
Clean your plate, don't waste food.

175
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:28,480
Yeah, don't waste food.

176
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,120
And, you know, we've been through some hard times

177
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,200
with food-wise, so I've always been like,

178
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,920
worried about food, and you know,

179
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,840
I've had a weird attachment to making sure

180
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:40,560
we have enough food, so it was hard to retrain your brain

181
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,880
and learn it's okay to get up, don't fork down.

182
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,880
We showed up to the wedding,

183
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,520
and we got all the compliments at the wedding.

184
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,280
Well, they hadn't seen me for-

185
00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:53,640
Yeah, well that was the motivation.

186
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,000
10 years.

187
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,360
They saw us chugging.

188
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:57,320
That was the whole purpose.

189
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,360
And then we showed up.

190
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:04,360
I hadn't seen them in like 10 years, five years.

191
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:05,920
It was a really long time before I seen them,

192
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,960
and most of them it was more than that.

193
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,040
But yeah, it was kind of a motivational show up,

194
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,840
and there was like, there's a whole backstory,

195
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:16,000
a whole personal reasons and lots of things,

196
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,240
but the whole main thing was to just show up.

197
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:21,880
And we did.

198
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:22,880
Just show up good, and yeah,

199
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,720
we lost 75 pounds before the wedding.

200
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,080
And then at that point, it pretty much was our whole,

201
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,640
our whole lifestyle was changed, and we were in a habit,

202
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:35,640
good habits, and we were losing weight really well and easily,

203
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,800
and I was in a good gym routine, and he hates the gym.

204
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,360
He despises it.

205
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,160
He still hates it.

206
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:44,240
He's been like...

207
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,760
You'd be able to drag me a couple times, but...

208
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:47,600
I love cardio.

209
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,200
I hate cardio, but I do love the gym.

210
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:50,040
I love this gym.

211
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,880
Like I know I need to go to the gym, but...

212
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,720
I forced myself to do cardio, but I do love the night.

213
00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:00,160
I do love the by myself part and the therapeutic quietness,

214
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,600
because I don't get to be alone very often.

215
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,880
So it's a nice little break, and I learned to love it,

216
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:05,960
and I need to get back.

217
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,160
But then we lost another like 50 pounds after that.

218
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,800
And then we kept going with it, and we were pretty strict.

219
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:13,640
We were very strict.

220
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,120
We were very portion control, very...

221
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,240
Oh, yeah.

222
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,560
Protein, high protein, and there's like no sugar.

223
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,120
That we cut out pretty much all sugars, everything,

224
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:25,920
sugar, everything.

225
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,120
And then we counted calories for the most part,

226
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:33,200
and we ended up losing 130 pounds each, roughly.

227
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,040
Yeah, roughly.

228
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,560
Somehow we both learned to learn...

229
00:08:35,560 --> 00:08:36,720
Somehow we both...

230
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:37,560
Lost the same amount.

231
00:08:37,560 --> 00:08:38,400
Exactly the same amount.

232
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,560
I lost mine quicker than yours,

233
00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:45,680
and then I started gaining a little bit back

234
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:47,560
when you hit your smallest.

235
00:08:47,560 --> 00:08:49,680
Yeah, we lost the different kinds of it both times.

236
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:52,520
Because I got down to like 175 pounds at one point.

237
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:53,760
Yeah, it was 130.

238
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:54,600
Like it was crazy.

239
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:55,680
I was never in my life.

240
00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:58,960
I have always, my whole life, we were saying

241
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:00,720
about struggling with dieting and stuff.

242
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,600
I have been chubby my whole life.

243
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,400
I never went through a high school skinny phase.

244
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:06,680
I never got to be skinny.

245
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:09,400
I have been consistently morbidly obese

246
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,680
since I was three, four.

247
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:12,520
You know what I mean?

248
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,280
I was always...

249
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,200
Since elementary school, I've been overweight.

250
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:17,120
I've been the chubby girl.

251
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,440
I've had boobs since I was 10.

252
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,600
I remember being mortified having like double Ds

253
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:22,520
when I was 10 years old.

254
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,040
And I remember one time the girls walked,

255
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,960
some girl, one of my friends, walked into a locker room

256
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,280
and all the girls were talking about how big my boobs were.

257
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,040
And at 10 years old, destroyed me.

258
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,640
Like absolutely mortified me.

259
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,600
Like I was so sad.

260
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,320
But I've always just been a big girl.

261
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,400
I've been a really big girl.

262
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,480
And I've just, you know, I've done the dieting,

263
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:44,960
like done the weight.

264
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,880
It really had to be a mental thing for me.

265
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:47,720
It is.

266
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,520
And that's what everybody always asks me,

267
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:50,560
like, how'd you do it?

268
00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:52,000
You know, it's...

269
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,680
I could have done it without you.

270
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:55,840
Yeah, definitely.

271
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,840
It was way different to have somebody to,

272
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,080
not just not rely on, but like to rely on,

273
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,280
to keep you accountable and to, you know.

274
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,480
Well, we didn't have to sit there

275
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,040
and watch the other one, like, still eating shit.

276
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:08,880
That's what I'm saying.

277
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,520
We threw out all of our shit.

278
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,000
We, you know, only went shopping around our diets.

279
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,840
We, you know, our kids,

280
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,120
obviously we didn't keep them to the deficit.

281
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,360
We didn't keep them like on a diet.

282
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:19,880
I still remember making them like...

283
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,400
We had to do separate meals and stuff.

284
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,440
But for the most part, like we ate together.

285
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,560
We just added the carbs with their meals.

286
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:28,120
Yeah, like they had the starches.

287
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,360
They stuck with the starch, like the mashed potatoes,

288
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,760
and the noodles, and the macaroni and cheese and all that.

289
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,040
We planned our meals.

290
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,240
But they still ate the same type of like meat

291
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,080
and vegetables that we ate,

292
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,440
or we just ate the meat and vegetable.

293
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,560
Because it was, like our whole family needed it.

294
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:47,560
Our whole family needed high protein, you know,

295
00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:49,360
as in proteins and some healthy fats,

296
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:50,640
some good stuff into our diets.

297
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,240
We definitely were eating way too many processed foods

298
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,840
and sodium was killing us all,

299
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,680
and sugar was killing us all.

300
00:10:58,680 --> 00:11:00,920
And so it was good for them too.

301
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:01,920
It was good to get there.

302
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,520
Because, you know, they're gonna have,

303
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,080
unfortunately, their parents are fluffier.

304
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,040
So they're gonna have to be conscious

305
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,560
for the rest of their lives, you know, about their weight.

306
00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:15,200
Unfortunately, our whole family kind of passing that down

307
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,920
to the next one, and you're welcome, children.

308
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,960
So it's good though,

309
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,440
because I was never taught how to eat, you know, well,

310
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,920
how not to make better, I always say make good decisions.

311
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,440
And I like to teach, we taught our kids

312
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:27,280
how to make better decisions.

313
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,640
Well, it's about having a healthy relationship with food.

314
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:30,760
Yeah, not dying.

315
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,280
And because, and that was the hardest part with me

316
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,480
is because I love to-

317
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:37,720
An emotional attachment.

318
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,000
I had an addiction.

319
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,840
I have, I still do.

320
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,120
But I had to break up with food emotionally.

321
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:44,960
I mourned it.

322
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,000
I remember crying, remember?

323
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,520
I cried because I thought we'd never get to go

324
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,360
to another restaurant ever again.

325
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,120
Like I went through a whole grieving process

326
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,440
of like, I don't wanna ever,

327
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,320
because like most of our relationship,

328
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,200
we've traveled for food, a lot of our memories were food.

329
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,000
I have a really big addiction.

330
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,320
Yeah, I've been struggling my whole life with addiction

331
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,880
to food and it does have emotional attachment to it.

332
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,040
And it is like you go through the grieving process

333
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,440
of giving up your favorite things.

334
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,760
Like you can never have them again until we learn

335
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:13,960
it's all about moderation.

336
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,960
You cannot realistically never eat Oreos again.

337
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,840
So kind of going off of that,

338
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,160
the kind of, we lost all this shit ton of weight.

339
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:33,160
Naturally our confidence like skyrocketed.

340
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,120
And because we're sizes that we had never been

341
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,040
in our entire life.

342
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,720
We went out, we are shopping,

343
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,400
we're buying all the clothes.

344
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,760
So like, because I could wear things I had never worn before

345
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:48,960
and actually look good.

346
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,480
I only could shop at Torrid

347
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,120
or the old lady department stores.

348
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,520
Yeah, we were going to all the,

349
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,120
we were going to the skinny people stores.

350
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,680
We were going to real regular stores.

351
00:12:58,680 --> 00:12:59,520
Yeah, like Express.

352
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,680
I didn't have to go into,

353
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:03,120
yeah, Express was like a new place

354
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,360
I'd never had explored before.

355
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,680
And yeah, there's a whole bunch of new worlds

356
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:08,520
when you're small.

357
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,720
We could go into like H&M and all of these.

358
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:12,760
Forever 21.

359
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:13,600
Forever 21.

360
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,760
And get cheap clothes and you could, you know, $5.

361
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,400
Cause I would go into Torrid

362
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,880
and like a pair of my pants was $80.

363
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:21,720
Yeah.

364
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:22,560
A pair of pants for me.

365
00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:24,920
Our shirt was like 50 some dollars.

366
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:25,760
Yeah.

367
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,400
And you know, bigger sizes, it costs more

368
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:29,600
if you want quality.

369
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,680
If you want quality and that fit right.

370
00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:32,520
Yeah.

371
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:33,360
Yeah.

372
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:34,520
And it was a few years ago now it's,

373
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,480
I love seeing everything, you know, the size inclusivity

374
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,080
and all the stuff is like, you're starting to see

375
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:39,920
all the bigger sizes.

376
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:40,760
I had a suit made.

377
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,120
I had a suit made.

378
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,080
Yeah.

379
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:43,920
When you're starting to see that.

380
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,560
But I mean, even a few years ago

381
00:13:45,560 --> 00:13:47,440
we weren't seeing like the bigger mannequins

382
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,400
and we weren't seeing the plus size options

383
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:50,240
like you are now.

384
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,080
I love seeing it.

385
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,440
I do, but it's hard when you grow up

386
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,280
your whole entire life

387
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,320
and you just want to put on the cute stuff

388
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:57,560
and you want to wear the cute stuff.

389
00:13:57,560 --> 00:13:59,360
I've just never got to experience it.

390
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,080
And I thought honestly, like naively,

391
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:07,080
I thought that I, you know, you believe that

392
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,360
if you're skinny, everything's going to be good.

393
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:10,360
Everything's going to be great.

394
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,240
But tell me how that's not true.

395
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:14,080
It's not true at all.

396
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:14,920
It's not.

397
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,280
Because it wasn't true for me either.

398
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:17,480
Oh yeah, I was more confident.

399
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:18,960
I liked my body better.

400
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,240
So going back on what you were saying,

401
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,640
we only moved here and we were pretty much

402
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,320
at our smallest I've ever been my entire life.

403
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,840
We found this lifestyle and that's really where like

404
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,120
the confidence, you do get confidence

405
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:35,320
with losing that amount of weight.

406
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:36,560
Oh, absolutely.

407
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,960
And I had never, like I said, I was never skinny.

408
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:39,840
I've never been thin.

409
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,440
I've never been a normal society, you know, normal sized.

410
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,240
I've always been in plus size for seven.

411
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,320
So this time I was like, there was options of lingerie.

412
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,760
There was options of like smaller sized.

413
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,360
That side of it.

414
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:58,160
And then I think we were getting attention

415
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,240
we never got before from other people,

416
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,200
other than from us, you know?

417
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,440
And that was a huge like dopamine rush.

418
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,360
Yeah, because we were that hot couple in Georgia.

419
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,000
Yeah, I mean, that's how we got our name.

420
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:12,840
Our Georgia couple.

421
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,280
Is because we would, friends that we had met be like,

422
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,120
oh, I was just talking to someone there.

423
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:18,960
That's what they called us.

424
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:19,800
I think that hot couple was over there.

425
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:20,760
We didn't name ourselves.

426
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,240
People named us.

427
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,080
Yeah.

428
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,840
So yeah, it was this rush of,

429
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,680
yeah, everyone wanted to talk to you.

430
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,280
You were, you know, you fit in.

431
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:31,400
You looked like you fit in.

432
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:32,840
You looked normal.

433
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,640
You looked like normal compared to what you,

434
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,720
before we stood out, we were big people.

435
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:38,560
Yeah.

436
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:39,920
We stood out in the room, everybody, you know,

437
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,520
was, we took up a lot of space

438
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,920
and now we could have blend in with the group of people.

439
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,760
And I honestly wonder if we would be in the last aisle.

440
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:48,600
I don't think so.

441
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:49,440
Or not.

442
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:50,280
And I don't think that we would either.

443
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:51,120
I wouldn't have the confidence.

444
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:52,880
I don't think I would have had the confidence.

445
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,200
And then.

446
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,680
And I always tell people, like,

447
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,240
it's not what you look like.

448
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:00,640
It's how you feel you look like.

449
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:01,480
I didn't feel like it.

450
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:02,760
But I didn't feel like I looked like.

451
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,920
And I understand how larger people,

452
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,560
like, are reluctant in getting into the lifestyle

453
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,280
and having issues with it

454
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,280
because you don't have the confidence.

455
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:17,680
And when you don't have that confidence,

456
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,640
you don't attract the people you're wanting

457
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:21,800
to attract. It turns out,

458
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,880
we thought that it would give us self-worth

459
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,160
and it would make it automatic,

460
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,120
it would make the world all sunshine and rainbows.

461
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,920
But it turns out you have to put that work into it.

462
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,920
And confidence is all a state of mind.

463
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,240
It's not how you look, it's not how you feel.

464
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,040
Or not how you look, it's all how you feel.

465
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,880
And it's all how you perceive yourself.

466
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,080
I hear this a lot with people that are losing weight

467
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,640
or like through a health journey is,

468
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,080
and I am guilty of it,

469
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,000
I was so fixated on a number.

470
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,920
Numbers, yeah.

471
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,640
Like I remember going down like every Friday

472
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,760
and jumping on the scale once a week at the same time,

473
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,760
every week and see how much weight I lost that week.

474
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:01,680
Yeah.

475
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,480
And then coming down and like I had an app

476
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,360
to track it in my, in everything.

477
00:17:06,360 --> 00:17:07,640
How are you feeling clothes

478
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,000
and how you feel in your outfits?

479
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,440
That's way more important than the number.

480
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,640
It has nothing to do with the number.

481
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:20,160
So we talk about how we got this huge confidence boosts

482
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:26,920
and everything, but also, I know I felt this way.

483
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,320
I know you were feeling a certain sort of way

484
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,000
about how your body was, how your new body looked.

485
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,280
Yeah, yeah.

486
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:34,800
Yeah, we thought that if we lost the weight,

487
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,200
we got to a certain number, we got to a goal weight

488
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,440
that you could be able to walk in,

489
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,920
put on the lingerie and just own the place.

490
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,920
Turns out that actually was, it's actually the opposite.

491
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,680
Turns out I actually started not liking this body

492
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,040
more than I didn't like the other body

493
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,080
and it never fixed anything.

494
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,440
I just found ways to pick apart my body in new ways

495
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,480
because it was the loose skin now and it was the veins.

496
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,560
You could see the varicose veins better

497
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,000
and you could, you know, it was like the stretch marks

498
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,320
and the boobs, I lost my boobs, I lost my ass.

499
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,560
Everything became, you know, deflated, my face, everything.

500
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,800
And I just turned it into, instead of like,

501
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,320
I'm too chubby, I have this much on here

502
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,360
and I don't like extra weight on this body part or whatever,

503
00:18:20,360 --> 00:18:21,440
it became the opposite.

504
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,920
And so, yeah, it turned out it was a definite huge eye-opener

505
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,240
that it has nothing to do with how much space you take up.

506
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,640
Has nothing to do with the number that you weigh

507
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,440
and what it says on the scale.

508
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,440
It was all, it's all in your head.

509
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:35,720
It's all a mental thing.

510
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,240
Yeah, because I remember,

511
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,200
even when I was at my smallest, I remember I had like,

512
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,880
the, you know, skin, like on my stomach,

513
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,960
the loose skin from, you know,

514
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:51,720
and then I had, you know, this or that or, yeah.

515
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,680
Yeah, like the neck skin started loosening.

516
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,520
Like there's just different things that started to change.

517
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:57,840
I started to see wrinkles that weren't there

518
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,080
because my skin wasn't stretched out.

519
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,720
Yeah, you don't have like the plumpiness in your face.

520
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,200
Your face changes and everything just changes, period.

521
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,880
And I was slapped in the face with a whole new body.

522
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,520
And on top of that,

523
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,120
we, at the same time we were dealing with this,

524
00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:17,960
we were finding this new lifestyle

525
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,760
where there's plastic surgery everywhere.

526
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,720
90% of people have something enhanced.

527
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,280
Something that's, yeah.

528
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,320
You know, you were self-conscious about your boobs.

529
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:28,480
My boobs were huge.

530
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,920
I refuse to show my boobs even in, I did content

531
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,960
where we would just like have our boobs out

532
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,640
with like other content creators

533
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:36,760
that I'm really good friends with.

534
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,360
And then I know very well now,

535
00:19:39,360 --> 00:19:42,120
but I would stand there and I would leave this,

536
00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:44,280
I would leave whenever they did butt pictures

537
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,600
or boob pictures because I refuse to be up there

538
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,320
because I'm like, I don't have those.

539
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:49,160
Yeah, I remember that.

540
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,080
That's why I would say every time I would be like,

541
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:50,920
I don't have those.

542
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,080
And so I'd stand on the side.

543
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,040
Every single video, if you see in the behind the scenes,

544
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,320
like I'm standing over to the side

545
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:56,360
and I'm not in any of those.

546
00:19:56,360 --> 00:19:59,840
It's because I was so self-conscious

547
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,680
about not having boobs, not having like implants.

548
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,480
And I had posted a story on Instagram the other day

549
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:06,320
and it was kind of like,

550
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:07,560
what are your biggest insecurities?

551
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,360
What about your body are you most self-conscious?

552
00:20:10,360 --> 00:20:13,280
And it's the amount of women that said loose skin

553
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,880
and my boobs, I don't have implants.

554
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,120
I don't have a BBL.

555
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:19,480
I don't have, and it breaks my heart

556
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,720
because now that I've been through this whole journey

557
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,480
and it's been five years now, I understand.

558
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:28,480

Yeah.

569
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,080
And it's about loving your body throughout

570
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,960
that whole entire up and down.

571
00:20:55,960 --> 00:21:00,960
That's why I see, you see it on the social media platforms

572
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,160
where it's like people against enhancements

573
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,680
or modifications and all natural,

574
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,080
we wanna be all natural, this and that.

575
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,480
And honestly, it's just how you feel about yourself.

576
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,160
If it makes you feel good about yourself, then do it.

577
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,000
I am here for it.

578
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,880
If you wanna go have your whole entire body replaced

579
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,520
and have a whole new body put on you,

580
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,600
and that's what makes you inside the happiest person

581
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,440
and the most content with it.

582
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:27,520
It's your life, it's your body.

583
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,580
You're the one who has to live in it.

584
00:21:29,580 --> 00:21:31,320
I am fully support that.

585
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,280
But I hate when you are, you just don't,

586
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:35,120
whatever you do choose to,

587
00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:37,200
there shouldn't be hate on either side of that.

588
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,120
Whether you choose to stay natural or you choose to be

589
00:21:39,120 --> 00:21:39,960
in control.

590
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:40,920
Also, like when we've talked this about,

591
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,480
cause you've talked about how you wanna get.

592
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:44,320
Oh, I want it all.

593
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:45,160
I would love to have it all.

594
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,280
But also it's not, but I would just,

595
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,860
my whole thing has been is I want you to want it for you

596
00:21:53,860 --> 00:21:57,120
not to look like this person or that person

597
00:21:57,120 --> 00:21:58,920
or for me or anything.

598
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,880
I want you to do it to make yourself feel better.

599
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,320
That's the key.

600
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,200
And that's what we've talked about.

601
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,600
I said, that's all I'm trying to make sure that.

602
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,400
If you want it, let's do it.

603
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,800
But also I want you to make sure it's for you

604
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:21,080
and not for everyone else.

605
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,040
Well, unfortunately I'm too scared.

606
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,480
So I'll never get it done.

607
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:25,980
And I have a lot of health problems.

608
00:22:25,980 --> 00:22:29,200
And every time I have surgery, I just about die.

609
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,960
So I have not yet been able to justify

610
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,400
just an electoral surgery, elective surgery

611
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,640
to just get something that I don't necessarily need

612
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,800
and then dying because I have children.

613
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,520
And that's kind of where I'm at with it.

614
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,440
People just assume that you don't have the money

615
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,200
or you don't, there's this reason or that reason.

616
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,040
And it doesn't matter what your reason is.

617
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,680
Whatever makes you the most happiest.

618
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,520
And right now that's.

619
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,880
You've definitely had some back reactions to anesthesia.

620
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,120
Yeah, I don't do well with anesthesia.

621
00:22:59,120 --> 00:23:00,280
I don't do well with surgery.

622
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,440
So I just haven't really been able to justify

623
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,520
trying to risk it yet.

624
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:06,480
No one risk it yet.

625
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,360
I just, I'm not there yet, but I don't.

626
00:23:08,360 --> 00:23:10,760
I mean, maybe, you know, that's the goal.

627
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,840
You know, maybe one day I'll get the nerve

628
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,080
and maybe one day I'll be cleared.

629
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,960
And maybe one day I'll be in a space that I will get.

630
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,120
Cause I do want, I need, I need, you know,

631
00:23:22,120 --> 00:23:25,480
anything else that I do is other than like,

632
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,960
what I've been doing for the last five years,

633
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,520
skin and muscle repair.

634
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,600
And just, I've had four kids, I've lost 130 pounds.

635
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,200
I've been through some things,

636
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,080
but the only thing that's gonna fix any of it is surgery.

637
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:40,800
Going off of the back of that,

638
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,600
what have you done with your new body

639
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,740
to make you more comfortable in your new skin?

640
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,600
It's all fake until you feel it.

641
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,560
Has been a huge one that's kept me,

642
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:55,760
we've said that how many times I've said that.

643
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:56,600
We've said it a lot.

644
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,240
That's one of our other phrases.

645
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:00,320
They get to you feel it.

646
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:04,040
You aren't gonna always feel 100% great about your body.

647
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,280
It's really honestly been the hardest journey

648
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,840
that I've ever taken is learning to try

649
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:09,840
and love my body more.

650
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,800
And I feel like I've come very, very far

651
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,200
and I'm getting there.

652
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,040
But it's an every single day conscious journey

653
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,880
to remind just, there are gonna be a lot of days

654
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,920
where you just don't feel, compare yourself to everybody else.

655
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:23,760
I feel bad.

656
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:24,760
I'm comparing myself.

657
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,760
Especially in a club setting, naked.

658
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:29,800
In the swing.

659
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,520
And as a guy.

660
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:36,520
And yeah, we lost a shit ton of weight,

661
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,960
but I still have very much a dad bod.

662
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:40,800
Yeah.

663
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,040
And then I'm surrounded by guys that lift weights

664
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:48,720
four hours a day and are good for them.

665
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,920
But they look amazing.

666
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,200
But also, and that was a whole confidence.

667
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:56,040
It's hard not to compare yourself

668
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:57,240
with every other person.

669
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,920
And that's where I went was, well,

670
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:05,360
why would any woman wanna be with me

671
00:25:05,360 --> 00:25:09,720
when this guy that looks like a model.

672
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:10,560
Yeah.

673
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,880
You have all these women with ginormous boobs

674
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,160
and BBLs are big right now.

675
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,080
So they have big old asses, big old boobs.

676
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,200
Everybody's got tiny tummy tuck waist and Botox

677
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,320
and extensions and the hard not to.

678
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,120
That's all, is you're not alone in the whole thing.

679
00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:29,960
Very similar.

680
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:34,960
And not a lot of people talk about the guy side of it.

681
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,920
We hear a lot about the women's side of BBLs,

682
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,480
tummy tucks, boob jobs.

683
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,040
It's just hard in general not to compare yourself to.

684
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,040
All these different models.

685
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:51,040
But men have the same thing where it's in muscular,

686
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,000
super chiseled men.

687
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,000
And like I said, in the same situation

688
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,200
where you put the work in, it makes you feel good.

689
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:05,560
I'm here for it.

690
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,960
But I dealt with the personal,

691
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,200
where am I gonna fit in this space?

692
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,280
And so I had to.

693
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,600
Meet people, like meet people honestly is what did it do.

694
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,520
And I think what really helped us both is,

695
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,320
yeah with that we talked to people

696
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:27,320
and our personalities took over.

697
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,200
We gained confidence as we met these people.

698
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,000
Like oh they are like attractive.

699
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:32,840
Well the thing is when you start meeting people

700
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,480
and you start talking to these people,

701
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,040
they might look the perfect bodies and have all the things.

702
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,360
But a huge chunk of them turned out a lot of our friends

703
00:26:40,360 --> 00:26:44,000
were also like bigger and went on a health journey

704
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,160
and lost a ton of weight and then went to the gym

705
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,800
and then got into that and then just went a different route.

706
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,200
And it turns out a lot of people,

707
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,640
and most of those people that look perfect

708
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,240
and have the chiseled bodies,

709
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,240
those people more than anyone else

710
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:58,960
are the people who are so self-conscious.

711
00:26:58,960 --> 00:26:59,800
They are.

712
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,240
And they're just as worried about their bodies.

713
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,600
I remember having a conversation with one of our friends

714
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,760
and at that time he was.

715
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:06,760
Yeah one of our close friends.

716
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:07,800
Built.

717
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:08,640
He's a man.

718
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,800
And I remember joking around with him

719
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:16,040
and I said I couldn't have your body.

720
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,240
And he's what are you talking about?

721
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:18,480
I said I couldn't.

722
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:19,600
He's what do you mean?

723
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,200
I'm like I would be a trash person.

724
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:25,720
I'd be just like my.

725
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:26,560
Stay humble.

726
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:31,360
I'd be so cocky that like I'd be just,

727
00:27:31,360 --> 00:27:32,880
no one would be able to handle me.

728
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,040
Like I'd be so arrogant.

729
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,160
Like I'd be annoying and everyone would hate me.

730
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:39,560
Everybody would hate me.

731
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:44,040
But he's looked at me, kind of laughed.

732
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,520
He's like so why do you have more confidence than me?

733
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,080
I'm like I don't know.

734
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,600
It's all in your head.

735
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,000
He's like cause I watch you.

736
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:55,440
He's like I watch you at the club or at secrets or wherever

737
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,560
and you're around, you're talking to girls,

738
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,480
you're dancing, having a great time.

739
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,840
He's like and I can't do any of that.

740
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,640
And I really didn't have an answer for him

741
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,440
except for it's just, you know you just fake it

742
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:13,840
till you can feel it.

743
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:14,680
That's a thing.

744
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:18,280
That's been our motto.

745
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,560
Yeah cause we don't, I don't feel it a lot of times

746
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,800
but you just gotta put your head up and.

747
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:26,880
It's a never ending struggle.

748
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,040
There are days when I wake up and I'm like yeah,

749
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,800
you're hot bitch, you got this.

750
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:35,280
But most of the rest of the days I don't understand.

751
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:36,840
Well a lot of times I.

752
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:37,800
What I'm thinking.

753
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:42,160
If I'm not feeling my body,

754
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:46,640
I compensate with how I dress.

755
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,480
Like I'll put on.

756
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,640
I was gonna say some tips for confidence

757
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,040
and feeling better about yourself is dress to rest

758
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,920
has been like a really good useful thing.

759
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,200
If you feel good about what you're wearing,

760
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,880
that helps you feel better about your body

761
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:01,800
and you see yourself and your body better.

762
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:02,960
Absolutely. It's a mental.

763
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,360
This is a whole, we always said our entire weight loss journey

764
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,000
has been a mental game.

765
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,840
95% of it has been mental and we've always said that.

766
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,160
It was very little diet.

767
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:17,560
Say our whole wellness journey period has been mental.

768
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,080
Like even when it comes to losing weight,

769
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,560
everybody on earth knows how to lose weight.

770
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:23,400
Everybody knows how to lose weight.

771
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,920
It's the simplest thing you would ever do

772
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,960
but is yet the hardest thing we have ever done

773
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,960
because it is a fight against your own brain.

774
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,280
Everyone knows how to do it.

775
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,200
Yeah, everybody knows how to do it.

776
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:36,680
But it's the hardest thing we ever did.

777
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:37,960
So hard doing it.

778
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:42,960
So I think it's, that just shows how everyone struggles with

779
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:48,480
self-image.

780
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,360
I think that's where the community really comes into play.

781
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,480
It's because we, I see it all the time.

782
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:55,840
We build each other up.

783
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:57,520
Yeah.

784
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:02,520
And it's one thing when I tell you you're beautiful,

785
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,360
you look amazing, you're hot, you're sexy.

786
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:09,800
But it hits different when a complete stranger tells you

787
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,200
you're so beautiful, you're hot, you're sexy.

788
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:13,040
Oh my God.

789
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:14,960
Like where'd you get that?

790
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:19,440
It hits different because you hear it from me all the time

791
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,920
and almost since we've been married for so long,

792
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,040
like you say, you've said it, like you have to say that.

793
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:25,880
And I don't.

794
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:26,880
Yeah.

795
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,520
But I say it and so it doesn't,

796
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:35,520
it doesn't hit in the same way as a complete stranger.

797
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:40,080
So the community really builds everybody else up.

798
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,360
When somebody's feeling down, you can see it.

799
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:44,200
Oh yeah.

814
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:19,200
Once I learned that as we navigated the lifestyle,

815
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,560
I've began, you know, I started out at first

816
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,920
and I was so self-conscious about my assets

817
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,280
and all the things and that everybody else had that I didn't

818
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,760
and I was at my tiniest, so I was navigating that

819
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,560
because I had other side of it.

820
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,280
I was like too small and I started figuring that out.

821
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,200
And then we got, our bodies got comfortable.

822
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,480
We got comfortable and it was just hard to sustain.

823
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,680
It's very hard to sustain at the level that we were sustained.

824
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,520
We did for two solid years, pretty hardcore.

825
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,200
And it wasn't, we couldn't maintain that.

826
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,680
And so we eventually started getting more lax

827
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,920
and introducing more, you know, carbs and sugars back into.

828
00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:03,920
And it is a very easy habit to get back to exactly.

829
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:05,520
You know exactly what you're doing wrong.

830
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,080
You know exactly what to not do.

831
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,920
And you still go back to exactly the way that it was.

832
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,840
And that's kind of where we're at right now.

833
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,280
That's kind of where our current journey is.

834
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,760
I've since gained about 30 pounds back.

835
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,880
So I'm still at 100 pounds loss, which is-

836
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:19,760
We're about the same.

837
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,720
Yeah, we're again, still navigating about the same.

838
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:27,720
And it's, I am always, I'm struggling to like

839
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,440
not be hard on myself for gaining 30 pounds back.

840
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,400
Cause like in the huge scheme of things,

841
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,200
I would have been perfectly happy with 30 pounds.

842
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:36,040
Yeah.

843
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,040
We never, when we started,

844
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,680
we never expected to lose that much weight.

845
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,680
Like you said, our goal was to lose 50 pounds.

846
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,640
And then our stretch goal was 75.

847
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:47,560
That was, yeah.

848
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:48,400
That was just to see if we could make it.

849
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:49,680
We almost doubled that.

850
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:50,640
I know, I know.

851
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:51,640
Which blows my mind.

852
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,600
But it becomes an addiction.

853
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:54,440
It does.

854
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,120
And you start seeing that number go down

855
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,760
and you say it becomes like a game that you play.

856
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,880
But part of it in people that are going through

857
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,800
like a health journey, I think it's almost

858
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,440
cause we were addicted to food.

859
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,360
It's like addiction replacement.

860
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:10,200
Yeah, we were foodies.

861
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:15,200
We just mentally just stopped.

862
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,840
Like instead of being addicted to food,

863
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,920
we were addicted to this lifestyle, this number.

864
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:23,760
It became.

865
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:28,440
And like this journey of how much weight can I lose?

866
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,000
That was not the most healthy thing.

867
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,000
And then we got to a point where like

868
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,840
our bodies wouldn't lose anymore.

869
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:34,680
Kind of just explained the argument.

870
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:35,960
And it's okay, this is where I am.

871
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,240
And then we started getting comfortable.

872
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:42,040
At that point we found swinging.

873
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:43,760
And so we were going out more.

874
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,400
We were eating out more.

875
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,400
We were drinking empty calories.

876
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,040
We were drinking more.

877
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:50,520
Cause we stopped drinking completely

878
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:51,920
for a year and a half.

879
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:53,600
Two years, yeah.

880
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:57,360
And yeah, we started drinking and sodas.

881
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:58,200
We're not drinkers.

882
00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:59,520
We've never have been in our whole marriage.

883
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,440
We would have like one alcohol cup a day.

884
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,320
I was getting a sweet tea or a soda.

885
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:04,840
You're getting a soda, you know,

886
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,120
or we're getting a cocktail.

887
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,320
They came with Dr. Pepper.

888
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,120
Got hardcore addicted to Dr. Pepper.

889
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,080
I still am hardcore addicted to Dr. Pepper.

890
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:14,960
That's like the biggest nemesis.

891
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,640
Like, oh, it was just something where we just,

892
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,080
we gained a little bit back.

893
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:20,720
Yeah, and then we say, it's like we were saying,

894
00:34:20,720 --> 00:34:23,040
it's easy to get back into old habits.

895
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:27,280
And again, I have to be mentally ready

896
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,480
and mentally checked in to quit things

897
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:30,680
and stop doing things.

898
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:34,080
And yeah, and so these past year has been a lot

899
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,320
of navigating that and getting back into the gym

900
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:37,840
and making better decisions.

901
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:42,200
And we're kind of trying to balance between living our life

902
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,200
and still being the foodies that we are

903
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:45,600
and enjoying good food.

904
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,560
And he went to culinary school.

905
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,760
He is, you know, he loves cooking.

906
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:50,600
I like to cook.

907
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:51,760
He's a chef, he cooks.

908
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:56,080
Like he does, and his best meals are always

909
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,200
the highest carbs and the highest sodium

910
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,600
and the highest sugars and the highest of all the things.

911
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,360
So it's been hard to try and navigate that

912
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:07,840
and traveling and kids and life and everything

913
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,160
and trying to, moderation has been learning how to,

914
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,680
you know, live with moderation and have, you know,

915
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,560
enjoy stuff and learning how to let yourself have it.

916
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:20,040
I think that's our newest journey is actually moderation

917
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:21,840
because we didn't have moderation.

918
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,560
Well, we lost weight, we didn't have moderation.

919
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,600
We let it cut everything out.

920
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,760
And it's not sustainable.

921
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:30,760
Like we couldn't.

922
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,680
That struggle with binge eating and eating disorders.

923
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:39,680
We, then we started going out and having a good time.

924
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,960
And then I think now it's for finding that,

925
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,320
we gotta find that happy medium.

926
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,120
Yeah, it's been like a year and a half or so

927
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,920
we've been really trying to learn how to allow,

928
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,360
when we go out and we have these event weekends and stuff,

929
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,000
we do let ourselves eat the pizza

930
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,240
and have all the carbs and sugars and all things.

931
00:35:57,240 --> 00:36:00,000
And then, you know, we eat a good vegetable,

932
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,480
a good protein when we get home

933
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,960
and just learning how to make just better decisions.

934
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,360
I keep saying that it's not about a number.

935
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:08,200
It's not about a number.

936
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,640
Just try and make better decisions, drink more water,

937
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:11,960
eat, you know, just be conscious,

938
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,040
put the fork down in between bites

939
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,120
and just be aware of what you're putting into your body

940
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:18,320
and learning how to get back to that.

941
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,760
Because I do, I did felt amazing.

942
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,720
I felt at my best when I was actively in the gym

943
00:36:23,720 --> 00:36:25,880
and eating well and everything, I did feel better.

944
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:30,880
I felt good about myself and I felt inside good, better.

945
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,920
So getting back to more of that and getting my butt back

946
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:37,760
in gear and getting back into the gym.

947
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,680
It's the hard part and then winter's coming,

948
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,080
sad season's coming, kind of the struggle.

949
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,280
So like I got, April's like my newest,

950
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,960
my newest goal is April and that's kind of what

951
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,280
we're shooting for since we have secrets coming up

952
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:51,120
and bathing suit season's around the corner.

953
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:52,680
Yeah, we've talked about that one.

954
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,480
The last two secrets I have finally,

955
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,200
I don't know, in the lifestyle in general,

956
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,280
I just don't care what people think about my body anymore.

957
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,920
Which shows, I'm getting there.

958
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,840
I love watching you just let go.

959
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,840
Especially secrets, I feel the most like,

960
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:12,160
when you first walk into, like with our lifestyle journey,

961
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,000
when we first walked in, it was content creation.

962
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,240
We walked straight into content creation swinging

963
00:37:17,240 --> 00:37:19,080
and so a lot of the parties were smaller,

964
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:24,080
full of the most beautiful men and women, gorgeous.

965
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,080
And as we've navigated these last three years,

966
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,360
we've met people and like you were saying earlier,

967
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:30,480
the more you get to meet people,

968
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:31,920
the more you realize you're all struggling.

969
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:36,040
No one thinks, oh yeah, I'm a hundred and 10% perfect

970
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,800
and I am a 10 out of 10.

971
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,640
Every single person has normal bodies.

972
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,040
Every person's dealing with one stretch marks

973
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,400
or something that they're self-conscious about

974
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,360
or their nose or their chin or whatever.

975
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:50,360
Everybody has a something.

976
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,360
There's something that you're gonna be able to pick apart

977
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,040
from yourself and from others

978
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:55,840
and you just gotta stop caring

979
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,000
what everyone else thinks about your body.

980
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,800
It doesn't matter what they think about your body.

981
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,840
It doesn't matter what they think about your fupa

982
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:04,880
or whatever it is that you're having struggles with.

983
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:06,960
And now I've gotten to the point where I had secrets

984
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:07,800
the last two times.

985
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:11,360
I have been naked at times and I've been topless.

986
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,400
I was walking around in a spong with no top on last time.

987
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,920
I just stopped giving a shit what people think

988
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:19,560
about my stuff.

989
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:20,600
Love watching.

990
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,040
I have H.S. and I have a lot of issues there

991
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,240
and a lot of like that's where I'm a hundred percent

992
00:38:25,240 --> 00:38:28,320
most self-conscious about is my H.S., my scarring and stuff.

993
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,600
And so I, but I just, there's nothing I can do about it.

994
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:32,760
It's my body.

995
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:33,920
I have the skin disease.

996
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,280
I have these veins.

997
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,560
I have these health issues and it is what it is.

998
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,360
And you know, I can't have surgery.

999
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,880
And also you either embrace it or you just side round

1000
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,320
and you know, wear a paper sack and sit in the corner

1001
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,240
for ever.

1002
00:38:47,240 --> 00:38:49,000
Just be sad and hate yourself.

1003
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,040
Or you can just stop caring

1004
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,280
what everyone else thinks about you

1005
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,760
and take the top off and own what it is you do have

1006
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,120
and it's your body and be proud of it and be,

1007
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,880
be happy that you can be there at all.

1008
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,440
And you're breathing and living and-

1009
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:06,840
Living your best life there.

1010
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,920
Living your best life and just be happy that you-

1011
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,360
Yeah, I get that.

1012
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,360
That you have a body to do it.

1013
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:13,200
I mean, yeah.

1014
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:14,080
That's what keeps me going.

1015
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,360
I don't get naked very often in public,

1016
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,880
but Seekers is a place that you might see me naked.

1017
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:20,200
Yeah, the atmosphere's good.

1018
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:21,040
Walking around.

1019
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:22,480
The people around her.

1020
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:23,600
You see all the normal bodies.

1021
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,240
You see so many normal, regular, everyday average bodies.

1022
00:39:26,240 --> 00:39:28,800
And it's not, it turns out it's not all content creator

1023
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:33,760
and the perfect little zip and tucked

1024
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,960
and perfectly snipped bodies.

1025
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,320
There is majority of the people in the lifestyle

1026
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:42,360
are just normal, regular, average, everyday bodies.

1027
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,160
And it's not always as you first see it.

1028
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:46,720
Once you start actually meeting people

1029
00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:49,280
and you start exploring the different communities

1030
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,360
in different places, the majority of people

1031
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,480
are everyday average, normal people.

1032
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,560
So if you're looking at lifestyle and I know,

1033
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,640
like if you're thinking you can't be in the lifestyle

1034
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,040
because you're not beautiful or perfect and it's amazing,

1035
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:01,560
I promise you for one, you're beautiful.

1036
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,040
I promise that.

1037
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:04,560
I don't care who you are or what you look like.

1038
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:05,400
You're beautiful.

1039
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,240
And for two, it doesn't matter.

1040
00:40:08,240 --> 00:40:09,160
It really doesn't matter.

1041
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:10,160
It's all how you feel.

1042
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:11,360
It's all how you carry yourself.

1043
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,200
It's all how you believe that you look.

1044
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,880
And that's what everyone else will see, I promise you.

1045
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:20,680
Well, and I've met women that are absolutely beautiful

1046
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,440
on the outside, but are trash people.

1047
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,040
And I didn't want to touch them with a 10-foot pole.

1048
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:27,280
I can go the other way.

1049
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:28,760
I can run away from them.

1050
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:29,600
Same with men.

1051
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:34,320
And then you find somebody that is still beautiful,

1052
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,840
but not the supermodel.

1053
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,200
Serious, societal norm.

1054
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:43,000
And I'm way more attracted to those people than I am.

1055
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:44,040
It's all about your personality

1056
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:45,800
and who you are as a person and passion

1057
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,880
and what you're passionate about and what you love

1058
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:51,560
and just you.

1059
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,640
And I, personally, I might be a weird one,

1060
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,200
but I personally think somebody's imperfection.

1061
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:58,040
It's our sex.

1062
00:40:58,040 --> 00:40:58,880
Yeah.

1063
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,400
Yeah, it turns out most people are attracted to things

1064
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,640
that are the quirks that you think are weird

1065
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:04,480
or the things that aren't perfect.

1066
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,760
Yeah, I love the imperfections.

1067
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:07,600
Perfect.

1068
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,480
Those are the things people actually end up liking

1069
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:10,320
more about you.

1070
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,920
I've learned about eyebrows now is like a huge thing,

1071
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,240
which is cool for the girls with little pummies.

1072
00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:18,840
Eyebrows are like trending right now, which I do love.

1073
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:19,680
I like that.

1074
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:23,040
And yeah, and people are starting to just embrace,

1075
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:24,600
erase these little imperfections.

1076
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,920
And there's no such thing as perfect.

1077
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,360
And we keep all aiming towards this perfection that is-

1078
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:31,200
We're already there.

1079
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:32,960
Unattainable, that doesn't exist.

1080
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,600
And we're already there and you're beautiful and wonderful.

1081
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,560
And as long as you believe that in your soul

1082
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,680
and as long as you believe that you're a 10,

1083
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,080
everyone's going to see you, it turns out.

1084
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:42,920
Yeah.

1085
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:45,920
I feel like that's a good spot to wrap it up.

1086
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:47,680
I know, it went fast, real quick.

1087
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:50,280
That's all I gotta say about that from now.

1088
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,240
That's all I gotta say about that.

1089
00:41:52,240 --> 00:41:54,480
But coming up, we got-

1090
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:55,760

1092
00:41:59,240 --> 00:42:00,960

00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:24,880
And then we were going to find out all the information

1104
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:26,600

1105
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,480

1106
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,120
and tickets and stuff being unveiled.

1107
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:32,480
Where it's at, where-

1108
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:33,720
It's in Atlanta area.

1109
00:42:33,720 --> 00:42:34,560
Yeah, it's in Atlanta.

00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,440

00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:39,960
That's where we will be.

1114
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:41,920
And we'll have a link eventually.

1115
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:43,560

00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:46,560
But definitely- It's fresh,

00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:47,640
just new, it's fresh.

1119
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:48,520
Definitely stay tuned.

1120
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,840
If you are looking and you're in this

1121
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,800
Southeastern USA area and you're looking

1122
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:57,240

1123

Yeah, they are amazing.

1126
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:05,200
Just such a good group of people.

1127
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:06,720
If you're in that area or not

1128
00:43:06,720 --> 00:43:08,480

1129
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:09,560

00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,960
So definitely recommend coming out

00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:13,000
and checking that party out.

1132
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:17,000
And then we got Secrets in April, but it is sold out.

1133
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:18,200
We tried to tell everybody.

1134
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:19,040
Yeah, we tried to tell-

1135
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:20,360
We tried to get all of our friends there.

1136
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,200
All of our friends were coming this time

1137
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:23,400
and we finally got an entire-

1138
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:24,240
They're like, we'll get it, we'll get it.

1139
00:43:24,240 --> 00:43:25,080
Huge group of people to come.

1140
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:25,920
We'll get it, we'll get it.

1141
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:26,760
Next week, this week.

1142
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:28,280
One couple got tickets.

1143
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:29,400
One couple got tickets.

1144
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:30,240
Yeah, we got one couple.

1145
00:43:30,240 --> 00:43:31,080
One couple got tickets.

1146
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:32,480
The rest are all-

1147
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:33,360
Cause they listened.

1148
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:34,680
Yeah, of course.

1149
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:35,520
No one believes us.

1150
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:36,360
No one listens to us.

1151
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:37,200
I was going to sell out so fast.

1152
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:38,840
We told them I was going to sell out quickly.

1153
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:40,760
But if you are, there is a wait list.

1154
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,640
So if you want to get in on the wait list,

1155
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,280
DM us or email us, get in hold of us.

1156
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:46,520
And we can get you all that information

1157
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:47,360
for the wait list.

1158
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,440
And I'm sure there'll be cancellations.

1159
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:50,640
It's six months from now.

1160
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:51,480
Yeah, there will.

1161
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,640
Things happen and rooms will open up.

1162
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:54,480
Rims will open up.

1163
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:58,120
But that's why when we tell you, you jump on it.

1164
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,800
But yeah, that's what we've got going on.

1165
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:01,640
It's winter season.

1166
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:02,880
The FED season is coming.

1167
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,440
So we don't have very much swinger stuff going on right now.

1168
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:10,440
But we, so winter is when we tend to spontaneously-

1169
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:11,440
We do.

1170
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,320
We end up spontaneously deciding we're going on things.

1171
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:15,760
And now like the last two weekends,

1172
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,320
like we've had friends in our neck of the woods.

1173
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,280
We've went to parties locally with them.

1174
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,400
And we're staying close to home.

1175
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:24,560
Winter, we do that.

1176
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,320
We stay close to home.

1177
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:27,800
And we do a lot of bonfires and-

1178
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,480
We want to get some health stuff taken care of.

1179
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,920
Yeah, I've got a few health procedures

1180
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:34,200
that I would like to get taken care of

1181
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,320
and some surgeries that I have to do.

1182
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,480
I have no choice with this summer winter

1183
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,120
I want to kind of do.

1184
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:41,600
While it's cold and sad season.

1185
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:42,840
So I guess-

1186
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,360
Whereas we'll take care of our bodies.

1187
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:46,480
Jeez.

1188
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,560
Oh, we got to get ready for New Year's Eve.

1189
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,000
That'd be good for that.

1190
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:50,840
We're going to be there.

1191
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:52,280
It's going to be so much fun.

1192
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:53,600
I'm so glad you get to come.

1193
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:55,080
It's like a Tuesday.

1194
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:55,920
Yeah.

1195
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:56,760
That'd be fun.

1196
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:57,600
That'd be good.

1197
00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:58,600
We got lucky this year.

1198
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,720
And yeah, that's about all we got to say about that.

1199
00:45:01,720 --> 00:45:03,640

It's not that serious.

1220
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:42,400
Don't make it weird.

1221
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:51,440
