It's taken a lot to get my confidence back and to change my mindset to realize I wasn't healthy when I thought I felt my best. So for anyone who has been listening this far, who has gone through ups and downs their weight, I definitely understand and I know it's not easy, but finding the root of the problem with whatever insecurity you have is so important and you should give your body the love and health it needs

But the whole thing about, like, being I was big, not big. Okay. I was overweight a lot through middle school and through elementary school, and it definitely affected me to, like, how I am now and how I eat and all of that. But I struggle so much with managing my weight and just, like, going through COVID. Like you said, I was doing nothing but, like, eating out and drinking. But thank you for sharing

And you're always comparing yourself to other people who you think are look better than you or have their life together. But really, it's just everyone's going through s***. And I really appreciate your response. And, yes, I would love a workout buddy. I don't know if you're in Chico or where you are, but I signed up for this kickboxing class, and I got a membership, and it's been so much fun

Is that the one? And about the leggings. They just listen to your response on mine, please. I'm going to put my Instagram here and follow me and I'll call you back. And I want the link to some Amazon sets because I am like Clueless and I just need new workout clothes for sure. But yeah, if you ever want to work out, I work out with my boyfriend. But he's like way stronger than me physically

Hey. Yeah. It is called Sweet Fitness kickboxing, and it's just really convenient because it's like two minutes from my house. I also been wanting to check out the Rec Center. I haven't been there yet. I just know it can be crowded sometimes, but I think it would be better to go with a girlfriend or something like that because I just get so nervous, go by myself to gyms, and I'm like, what am I doing here?

Yeah, I actually always go to the wreck tense where I work out. But, yeah, if you want to work out, just let me know because I know, like, I get nervous doing a workout by myself sometimes, too, where I just have to, like, I don't know. I just feel like people are is there even though literally no one is staring

And I just so much wanted to be shorter and smaller because I just felt huge being this tall person towering over one. But when I went to high school, everybody kind of caught up. And I didn't really think that my height didn't really become an issue because everyone caught up. But yeah, I definitely did take a hit at myself. It's team. So I definitely feel you there

Also to Alyssa I totally feel you there because my boyfriend is really into bodybuilding and he'll be at the gym also for like 2 hours. And I just usually try to avoid going to the gym with him because he's just too intense for me

Literally, sometimes it makes me sad because you, like, trying to push me so hard. I'm like, don't stop. I'm trying to go at my own pace. And so that can be just annoying and hard. So just like I told Ali, want to work out. I know you're in Chico, too, so we can all work out together if you want
