as for someone currently in ed recovery it helps so much to hear stories from other women that went through the same things, to just not feel alone with those weird, sick thoughts and behaviors! thank you Anna for sharing, I am a huge fan of everything you do (literally) and am soo happy that you found your way into happiness and freedom! we got this!
Yes, the recovery journey may be long and challenging but it's worth it 😊 the body deserves proper nutritious and healthy food, but t the same time balance for our minds ❤
Love this video! As someone restarting their fitness journey after years of all or nothing and then going through a long period of sickness because my body was worn down from other life stressors. Because of your videos, I feel more inspired to listen to my body and how I feel rather than basing my progress on other external factors. Thanks for all you do!
Anna I had the same experience with you. I weighted myself everyday, and I lost a lot weight, make me looks sick and still thought I was not good enough. I lost my period for half year, and lost lots of hair. However, I’m totally a new me now, I don’t care my weight, I do exercise to make me feel good, and I have good sleep, eat healthy most time. I’m very happy me now❤❤
Hi Anna, I don't know if you read but, I wanted to thank you, because thanks to you today I am starting to see exercise in a healthier way, I have been struggling with my weight for years, due to excessive training I lost my period for 1 year, my hormones went crazy, I restricted myself a lot in my diet, I lost the weight I wanted to lose, but all this process also unleashed me heart problems, thank God today I have psychological and psychiatric help, because dealing with the anxiety of gaining weight because you feel that if you gain weight no one will love you (as you mention in the video) and that your head all day long makes you feel bad about what you eat is not healthy at all. So thank you for your advice and for the peace and joy you transmit when you talk. Greetings from Colombia.😊
I relate to so many things you are saying, I used to make nearly all of those mistakes. I'm proud of myself now for coming this far and leaving my obsessive phase in the past and learning to understand my body better. Thanks for all the help Anna! ❤
Btw If you’re a young girl around 11-14 and don’t have a period for about 2-3 months AND (this is important) eating clean, working out and just making good life style changes, it can actually mean your body is trying to grow more! And it’s not a bad thing😁
Hello ! Thank you so much !!!!! People need to know that ! I am 18 and I have already made ALL of these mistakes... I struggle to eat instinctively, I have NEVER had my period, I struggle to have rest days, to socialize... But it is a relief to see that you have gone throught and dealt with of this ❤ my sister is anorexic, she lives in the same house as me, and do about 3.5 hours a DAY of workouts (while having to deal with high school life) so it is even harder to just focus on being "normal" and healthy, and not stressed. I hope she'll see this video... Thank you ❤ You really do help us ❤
It is so sad the amount of years and months we spendes feeling like crap 🥲 we may have reached our "weight goal" but for me, and probably for a lot of us, that still didn't make us feel better. Luckily there is a lot of movement about what is actually important and healthy. Thanks for sharing Anna ❤
we definitely need a video about period! unfortunately, now i have the same problem and nobody knows the reason. I suppose that it might be because of diets or smth, but youre experience can really help with understanding not only for me, but for all girls in this situation
Liebe Anna, I am soon 32 and I went through all the experiences you said in the video. I agree with all the points I have no questions but very honestly I wanna say DANKE because you're the model of many young women and people, and it's so important for the new generation to listen to these kind of advices. We need that !!! Thanks to be their grand sister they need to have ! 😊🌸🌺
Thank you for sharing your journey, Anna. I truly think that many women across the world went through similar incidents like you what you went through! Lots of love from Türkiye💖
This is so true. I started my fitness journey in April and I am soooo grateful for all the tips, advice, and warnings people provide nowadays. Before I looked into it, I was barely eating, weighing myself every day, and had set unrealistic weight goals. The healthy amount of weight to lose in a week is usually about 1-2 pounds. If you are losing anymore you are probably not providing enough calories for your body, your body still needs nutrients. Plus you can end up damaging your metabolism which helps you lose weight in the first place. We should focus on helping and not harming, so yes it’s okay to try to lose weight especially if you are overweight (like me) but you should be trying to help your body and not harm it. I’ve instead set a much more realistic goal and still find ways to treat myself. I usually lose about a pound a week (since early May) and although sometimes I give into food impulses I’ve found that I’ve gradually gained more control. I don’t let myself carry guilt either if I have a mess up day (I’ve had 1 or 2) and instead just figure out how to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
I have an ed and it really changed for me when I talked to a professional about my eating and sport habits and he explained to me the importance of carbs and fats for a female body and how I can take care of my body so I get my cycle back. Now I do cycle-based training so that I only do light movement in my red-week, then harder sport in the proliferative phase and lighter workouts during the secretory phase. Before I only wanted to eat as many vegetables and proteins as possible and now I track my macros more carefully. A little more than half a year later I got my cycle and a good feeling about myself back. I am sooo thankful for that change❤
Danke! Thank you for having the necessary courage of sharing your experience put this way. You are very kind and warm. While i am on the other side of the story (being "fat" in my teen and traumatized by society and familiy that i should not be and that is horrible - cca 85kg, 160cm at age 25- loosing weight - aprox 30kg, having regular menstrual cycle but with heavy pain - improving the pain after loosing weight) i am still obsessed with calorie tracking, calorie burning (going to the gym and ignoring sometimes the warm up etc) so i found myself actually still doing those "mistakes". I am improving and I admit that for example the calorie tracking help me staying in a "control" which help me psychologically also(even though i am not that strict anymore), sometimes it becomes unhealthy because in hard days i just look at the number not at the quality of food or drinks. Your shared experience and your honesty will help your followers to get better. Greetings from Romania :) 🎉 I am very happy that i discovered you few months ago but this is the first youtube video that i watch.
Thank you so so so much already for making me realize my mistakes😢 I just started my fitness journey and omg listening to your podcast makes me feel better ❤️🩹 a lot. I am a pre-teen and my family prioritizes less weight a lot and being a plus size I went through a lot where I got bullied by my own family and now I just feel like girls on TH-cam are my elder sisters cuz I am the oldest sis and I am said that the oldest sis is a half mother and also that I am going through a lot so thank you 🙏 so so much for being like a big sister… I love you 💕 Anna.
Thank you for sharing your story, Anna. I'm glad to finally find someone with a very similar life experience to mine. It is true to regret the years we have missed out on and how poorly we treated ourselves. These years have made me grateful for the present. Atleast we can truly appreciate our lives and health now. Keep spreading your powerful message. I hope so many more women overcome this. God bless ❤
Thank you Anna for sharing your expreriences so sincerely! I found myself over and over again during watching this video and it helps me so much to realize how OKAY I can be with myself and how important it is to listen to my body. Love you and your work out videos! ❤
Yesterday was my rest day from working out and if I’m being honest I did feel guilty. I feel like we are trained to feel guilty and sometimes it’s so hard for me to stop my brain from going there and I feel like I just make myself feel bad about myself too much. And it makes it so hard when I go on social media and see all these other people working out and being active constantly. (Even though I know they too must have rest days.) So for me this was a much needed reminder! You are so inspiring and help me feel confident, love you so much Anna! ❤️
I‘m soooo happy about this video and about finding you channel! You are motivating and inspiring me every day ❤❤❤thank you sooooo much you‘ve changed a LOT in my life and I guess in others life also!
this was so helpful thank you so much, i have always been on and off with working out consistently, but being a student doing so many other things has exhausted me sm that i always am like oh i'm too tired to go workout, but when i do workout i feel so much better yet i still make excuses. i want to feel healthy but am not taking the steps to do it but now that school is out for the summer i want to build my habits, wish me luck 😭
Danke für deine vlogs!Ich liebs einfach!Dadurch bekommt man einfach viel mehr Einblick "hinter die Kulissen" und gerade das Thema Übertraining ist für mich super interessant,ich erwische mich auch oft zu übertreiben...danke für die Erinnerung wirklich die Balance zu finden zwischen Gesundheit und Zwang❤❤❤❤❤gerne mehr inspos über dieses Thema!Du gibst so tolle Tipps
Das Video deines Weges, um deine Periode wieder zu bekommen, wäre wundervoll. Wie lange blieb sie aus und nach welcher Zeit hattest Du sie wieder? Hast Du Supplements genommen, was hast Du an Training und Ernährund und Lifestyle umgestellt? Danke vorab freu mich riessig drauf, du bist eine soo große Inspiration! 😊
i love u Anna You inspire me so much and i look up to u as a role model i am so excited to watch ur new video, i bet it is awesome u are such a kind loving respectful funny person Anna and i love every single one of your videos and give u my time to write this because u are awesome you have healed me and made me the happyist that i have been in 2 years i am so happy that i have u as someone that i can watch and know that it is going to make me smile✨😊 hope u see this ♥🥦
Anna thank you so much for the content you create, it is so important especially for young people.❤ Constantly reminding us that the most important thing is health, both physical and mental. Ps: remember not to drink too much water because that can make you dehydrated too! Love you ❤
I don't know how to say this but...were we like sisters in our past life because you make me feel that i have an elder sister who looks after me...i am seriously making these...i mean all of these mistakes and now when i listen to you i just feel so so normal also m taking up notes to just stop and have balance Thank you anna ❤ you have no idea to what extend m grateful to you 🙏 ❤️
Anna, I‘m so grateful that you talked openly about that how dangerous a vigorous fitness regimen can be to your body and your hormonal system.🩷🩷🩷 I stressed my body so harshly with overexercising and strict dieting during puberty that I have lean PCOS since I‘m 16 year old. Up till now, there‘s no cure for PCOS. You can just manage the symptoms which is what I‘m doing.
Her honest and contemplating experiences r just the best..thank you so very much for this knowledge anna.. am sure it would be of grt help to many out there...!!❤❤
Hello guys, (and Anna!) I'm from Brazil! I've just watched your vlog, and Anna, about your suggestion, doing the vlog about how you got back your period, I think it's a really great idea. I guess many women suffer it when they start their fitness journey, and maybe your tips help us, women, to know more about it. Please, everyone that is reading my comment, give it a like or answer to Anna make a vlog about this sooo important conversation! I don't have my period anymore, and maybe Anna's tips help me and other women with the same problem! Anna, it would be amazing if you read my comment, pleaseeee ❤❤
In my culture we are encouraged to overeat and be fat thinking it's a sign of cuteness especially if you're fair skin tone Like skinny culture fat glorification ( chubby culture) was imposed on me and it gave me severe periods cramps and almost reached a hypothyroidism Now I lost weight eating balanced and getting skinny shamed but I feel better
You are amazing, You are my idol until 4 years now ! Thank you so much for your workout, I started fitness with you. Now I start the running with you ! Thank you so much for all ♥
Ich versuche im Moment ebenfalls meine Periode zurück zu bekommen und es hilft mir so sehr dabei, dir zuzuhören - man fühlt sich so verstanden! 🫶🏼 wüsste gern, wie genau du es geschafft hast, sie zurück zu bekommen, ob du komplett auf Sport, vor allem Cardio/ HIIT verzichtet hast und wie lange es bei dir gedauert hat.
when I was 12, I got my period. But in the same time I started to lose wait, because some people told me that I am fat. Unfortunately, i lost my period:( Now I am 14 and I still don"t have it.
Hello! If you could make a video about how you got your period back it would be a big help. I have been struggling with it, but now that I haven't had it for almost a year I'm starting to get scared.
J’ai tellement été surprise d’entendre ta vidéo en français! Je m’entraîne toujours avec toi dans mon salon mais je n'écoutais pas les autres vidéos parce que mon anglais n’est pas excellent et mon allemand est encore pire😂. En tous cas, merci beaucoup beaucoup de nous aider à grandir. 🥰🍍
Hey, Anna thank you so much for sharing this. Can you plz share more about your bad knee problem. I got diagnosed with Chondromalacia in February. I had to pause my training sessions. Now i am trying to get back. But it's not that smooth as want it to be. Really hard to find some info on recovery and how to train your lower body once you got bad knees😢
I really relate to the rest part. I always felt so guilty when I rested or took a day off, But after watching this I really feel a lot better! Thank you🩷
I struggle with rest days . I’m so sore but I don’t want to rest. I want to keep working. Also with my eating. I try to eat intuitive but I don’t know if I eat enough and it’s all related to my mental health . My mental health is not good right now
I also lost my period for years, and last year I was diagnosed with PCOS. I'm unsure if it is because of my workout routine or nutrition intake. I'm still trying to be healthier, but I haven't managed to have regular periods for now. I'd love to hear your story about how your period came back naturally.
@@JoKaier Thanks Jo for your reply and recommendation! Absolutely. I was diagnosed with PCOS last year. It's been a bit hard even just to maintain my weight because I work out almost 5 to 6 days a week, one hour per session, and eat as healthily as I can, but my period still hasn't come for almost 8 months.
Anna, I love you! your videos makes me think. I guess it was so important to say this for me. because i made this mistakes too and this information is useful for me. thank you for your kindness and that you share experience with us, you're deserve a lot of! i would love to know how you get your period back and what did you do to return it.
So related. I am not allowing myself to have rest day. I am doing high intensity cardio everyday and my BMI is always about 18.9 but this year I started to calculate calories and try to lose weight and then I started binge eating and my period just disappeared and my hbA1C increased from 5.5 to 5.7 which means I am pre diabetes now. I am so sad and so disappointed everyday . I am now gaining some weight back but I am still no period and blood sugar level is always high no matter what I eat and especially when I workout hard. I really need to learn how to balance I feel like my hormones are messed up 😢
To say the least I had almost the same experience as u, I am currently 16 years old and I started working out when I was only around 11 years old (Covid times) because I was bullied for being fat since the grade 3 and I was so tired of ppl saying those things to me I just wanted to lose weight and I was so little that I didn’t know much at first I just wanted to hv a flat belly so did some Abs workouts time to time but that didn’t help much so I did full body workouts but I didn’t see any results bcs I wasn’t eating healthy and I ate chocolates, sweets and all kinds of food and whenever I stepped on a scale I was so disappointed i myself bcs I didn’t make any progress and then once when I scaled myself I had lost 5Kg than a week ago so I was so happy so o kinda took some time off of workouts and then again all the weight was back. And then after a year or so I decided to do netball and I thought to myself since I’m doing sports I might not need to work so hard and continued eating and didn’t workout and I got even fatter and I felt so mad bcs I didn’t and it was my fault so then I started working out really hard and started dieting as well and I refused to take rest days bcs I felt like that’s just slowing me down and that phase continued for months and in that phase I was at a point where I felt so mad at myself whenever I couldn’t workout and whenever I ate anything out of my diet even a single piece of chocolate so all I did was workout and eat vegetables and then I started seeing progress I lost weight and I felt so happy when even my friends were noticing so I kept going and going and then I one day I saw that my biceps were bigger and I wanted to build muscle so I started working out with dumbbells and I built up my biceps and shoulders but my back fat was still there so I started doing cardio and lost a lot of weight from it too, then I started skipping rope in April this year and that was the life changer bcs I came so close to my dream physique,I skipped rope 1000+ for a month straight and I only took 2 or 3 rest days and while doing that challenge I was so addicted to the progress that I ignored it all when I strained my ankle I skipped with the pain and it got worse and that was when I took the above mentioned rest days to recover and I was back at it. Then the school started again and when I went back everyone was saying u look thin and all ,y clothes were baggier and I was enjoying it all and then when I was working out I got a tricep strain and I ignored it for a week despite knowing it was tissue pain and then I treated it. But the point is I was just obsessed with working out and all I did was workout I ignored everything for every kg I lost and I also remember when I couldn’t workout for a day I would workout for twice or thrice the next day to catch up, honestly looking back i understand that it was all wrong bcs rn I’m recovering from all the torture and I did to my body and I’m having a balanced life with rests, the pains come time to time but I treat em now. So if anyone is going through the same thing I hope this helps, bcs I always ignored everything every fitness influencer said I only did their workouts and I wish I had listened to All those tips, I had to learn all those things the hard way also at very young age and I’m glad that i am understanding now. Progress is gonna come, u have to wait. Don’t try fasten the process by overworking bcs that’s not how it works.and I’m sorry if any of those who can relate to this and I’m sorry for everyone in the comments who hv been through a hard time just like this.
Es muy cierto lo que dices, he aprendido ha no saltarme el pre/calentamiento y también el enfrentamiento luego de terminar mi rutina. Además agrego una o dos veces por semana una buena rutina de movilidad ❤ o Yoga y las tuyas son buenísimas... 😊 Saludos
I’ve lost close to 20kg in less than 1 year. I’m now 56kg but I still think I’m fat and naughty coz I do enjoy food and wines. And every time I had some drinks, I felt good at the time but would beat myself up so badly the next day! It’s a vicious cycle despite I exercise daily and will have to punish myself not to eat to compensate myself those wines I had the night before… it’s sad
Ideally, one should get our exercise from our jobs. The human body was meant to have a lot of exercise. So you were not wrong to pursuit a lot of exercise in your life. What was missing perhaps, was getting your exercise from your job, but you're doing it now. I mean, you have to stay in shape to inspire others. But in your teenage years you could have joined a handball or a voleyball team or athletics, why didn't you? You get a lot from being part of a group like team work, camaraderie, social skills, fun times. I recomend teenagers joining a sport, specially a team sport. They get super in shape and looking good. But don't feel sorry for missing out in a lot of teenage stuff. Much of that is just bullshit. Teenagers are just having a hard-time and confused. A teenage role model definitely includes study, a lot of exercise or working in their family business. Eventually they become eligible to get married and have kids. That's how it goes. Note: teenagers have no business having sex. If it's that you're missing, then you're lucky. You're not missing nothing. Sex is when you get married. If you start to do it before marriage you're going to be confused, same with masturbation. Don't. Wait until you get married to have sex. You can have a boyfriend or girlfriend but no sex. Anyway, adults compensate in the gym what they can't do in their jobs. Desk jobs, or stationery jobs tend to be unhealthy over the years. However, like you mentioned, lifting weights is silly and can injure you. I can look at soneone who is unbalanced, out of proportion due to liftweighting. It's ridiculous. Exercise should go hand in hand with how you contribute to society, through your job. The greek statues don't say that, but all those statues were from farmers, fishermen, athletes and so on. They got that body through their work. If your work is on the desk, go out in the weekends pickup garbage from the beaches or cut hedges from beighbours or whatnot. Of course, diet is important, but if you spend a lot of time working, you eat less. People eat more than they should because they are iddle or don't work that much. Even oeople who work at the desk can get in shape if they stop snacking and putting 10-12 hours a day helping their company and society. They would get slimmer and healthier and tone would show up.
Hii!!^^ Could you explain a little more about hormones and how to regulate them to feel good and be healthy and happy? And well, I have a doubt on rest days you should eat the same amount of calories, I'm afraid of eating as much and the same because I don't spend as much and I'm afraid of gaining fat, could you explain that? Sorry if the question makes you uncomfortable 😣. Bye❤
Yes, you should eat the same. You don't have to earn calories. What you said sounds a little bit like you're scared of food, please don't do that, I'm saying that as someone who's been dieting since nine years old. I hope you have a normal relationship with food, because food is fuel, but also memories, culture, family, comfort and happiness 💕
Actually now I'm trying to eat normally, I do sports and I have a coach who is helping me, he put me on and told me that I shouldn't worry that I follow the plan and that nothing happens if I eat the same If I don't do sports, he knows I'm afraid, but he tells me to trust, that's what I did but I can't stop thinking that my body is going to change and I hate it, I feel so bad. I'm tired of these kinds of days, I just want to be well. @@zofiasudomir1165
Thanks!! I will try to grow and become strong despite the complications, people like that are worth it. I'm sorry for what you had to go through, no one deserves to feel bad about their body, food and more.❤@@zofiasudomir1165
Thank you very much for telling your story and sharing your mistakes💗 I have actually the same problems, unfortunately I’ve noticed it too late, so I hope that other girls will watch your video and won’t repeat all those mistakes❤️🩹🥲
It's not necessary for all women, but please please please do not feel scared of gaining weight. I lost my period for 1 year because I was really underweight and trust me, I was terrified, but you cannot live a normal life if you can't accept weight gain. I had to gain 7 kg for my period to come back but it's different for everyone. I know it's scary but sometimes you have to do scary things. I've lost 3 kg now from that weight gain and that's where I feel my best. Think about health, not a number 💕
Thank you for sharing all of this. Could you please share your history of normalizing hormones, how you done it and what resources did you use. Thank you very much🩷
Thank you so much Anna🥰🥰 I love your videos❤ I wanna ask about your period How did you get back it pls share your journey. These days I have such a period problems and it'll great help if you let me know what to do😊
Hola Anna , si me encantaria,saber como hiciste para recuperar tu periodo, me encanta esa alegria que muestras, de lo que hablaste también e cometido errores , comenzaré a regresar hacer ejercicio, trato alimentarme bien. Saludos desde Perú.
as for someone currently in ed recovery it helps so much to hear stories from other women that went through the same things, to just not feel alone with those weird, sick thoughts and behaviors! thank you Anna for sharing, I am a huge fan of everything you do (literally) and am soo happy that you found your way into happiness and freedom! we got this!
Yes, the recovery journey may be long and challenging but it's worth it 😊 the body deserves proper nutritious and healthy food, but t the same time balance for our minds ❤
Love this video! As someone restarting their fitness journey after years of all or nothing and then going through a long period of sickness because my body was worn down from other life stressors. Because of your videos, I feel more inspired to listen to my body and how I feel rather than basing my progress on other external factors. Thanks for all you do!
it's soooo important to listen to YOUR BODY ❤ thanks for sharing your story and thoughts with me and the whole community here, means a lot! ❤
Anna I had the same experience with you. I weighted myself everyday, and I lost a lot weight, make me looks sick and still thought I was not good enough. I lost my period for half year, and lost lots of hair. However, I’m totally a new me now, I don’t care my weight, I do exercise to make me feel good, and I have good sleep, eat healthy most time. I’m very happy me now❤❤
Hi Anna, I don't know if you read but, I wanted to thank you, because thanks to you today I am starting to see exercise in a healthier way, I have been struggling with my weight for years, due to excessive training I lost my period for 1 year, my hormones went crazy, I restricted myself a lot in my diet, I lost the weight I wanted to lose, but all this process also unleashed me heart problems, thank God today I have psychological and psychiatric help, because dealing with the anxiety of gaining weight because you feel that if you gain weight no one will love you (as you mention in the video) and that your head all day long makes you feel bad about what you eat is not healthy at all. So thank you for your advice and for the peace and joy you transmit when you talk. Greetings from Colombia.😊
I really wanted to cry while I was listening to the story, when you say that you really regret about not having the teenage years.
oh don't cry ❤ I still had a wonderful time and the chance to learn soooo much about myself and life! ❤ I just wish I would have had more balance
I relate to so many things you are saying, I used to make nearly all of those mistakes. I'm proud of myself now for coming this far and leaving my obsessive phase in the past and learning to understand my body better. Thanks for all the help Anna! ❤
Btw
If you’re a young girl around 11-14 and don’t have a period for about 2-3 months AND (this is important) eating clean, working out and just making good life style changes, it can actually mean your body is trying to grow more! And it’s not a bad thing😁
20:40 Same here... I actually try to gain weight right now to get it back but since I struggle with an ED and depression it's kinda hard😢
in the same boat… we’ll get there eventually!!! 🙏🙌🔥
I'm on my period today, having cramps, but you make me feel positive and ready to workout and happy to have my hormones in check ❤❤❤
Hello ! Thank you so much !!!!! People need to know that ! I am 18 and I have already made ALL of these mistakes... I struggle to eat instinctively, I have NEVER had my period, I struggle to have rest days, to socialize... But it is a relief to see that you have gone throught and dealt with of this ❤ my sister is anorexic, she lives in the same house as me, and do about 3.5 hours a DAY of workouts (while having to deal with high school life) so it is even harder to just focus on being "normal" and healthy, and not stressed. I hope she'll see this video...
Thank you ❤ You really do help us ❤
It is so sad the amount of years and months we spendes feeling like crap 🥲 we may have reached our "weight goal" but for me, and probably for a lot of us, that still didn't make us feel better. Luckily there is a lot of movement about what is actually important and healthy. Thanks for sharing Anna ❤
we definitely need a video about period!
unfortunately, now i have the same problem and nobody knows the reason. I suppose that it might be because of diets or smth, but youre experience can really help with understanding not only for me, but for all girls in this situation
Liebe Anna, I am soon 32 and I went through all the experiences you said in the video. I agree with all the points I have no questions but very honestly I wanna say DANKE because you're the model of many young women and people, and it's so important for the new generation to listen to these kind of advices. We need that !!! Thanks to be their grand sister they need to have ! 😊🌸🌺
Thank you for sharing your journey, Anna. I truly think that many women across the world went through similar incidents like you what you went through!
Lots of love from Türkiye💖
it’s so important to talk about it. thank you

When you talk you make people relax
I had stress before watching this but now I'm so much better
Thank you❤
I have an ed and it really changed for me when I talked to a professional about my eating and sport habits and he explained to me the importance of carbs and fats for a female body and how I can take care of my body so I get my cycle back. Now I do cycle-based training so that I only do light movement in my red-week, then harder sport in the proliferative phase and lighter workouts during the secretory phase.

A little more than half a year later I got my cycle and a good feeling about myself back. I am sooo thankful for that change❤
I used to be terrible at stretching but now I do it daily my body is so much better for it
You are an incredible, strong, beautiful and super smart girl and thank you for all of the positive influence you had on my life.
you’re amazing, Anna!! thank you for all you do!💗💗
Idk why but your voice soothed me somehow, you made my day Anna🥰
Danke! Thank you for having the necessary courage of sharing your experience put this way. You are very kind and warm.

I am improving and I admit that for example the calorie tracking help me staying in a "control" which help me psychologically also(even though i am not that strict anymore), sometimes it becomes unhealthy because in hard days i just look at the number not at the quality of food or drinks.

Greetings from Romania :) 🎉 I am very happy that i discovered you few months ago but this is the first youtube video that i watch.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey! It helped me to realise some things, most of all the importance of living a balance life ❤
Thank you so so so much already for making me realize my mistakes😢 I just started my fitness journey and omg listening to your podcast makes me feel better ❤️🩹 a lot. I am a pre-teen and my family prioritizes less weight a lot and being a plus size I went through a lot where I got bullied by my own family and now I just feel like girls on TH-cam are my elder sisters cuz I am the oldest sis and I am said that the oldest sis is a half mother and also that I am going through a lot so thank you 🙏 so so much for being like a big sister… I love you 💕 Anna.
Thank you for sharing your story, Anna. I'm glad to finally find someone with a very similar life experience to mine. It is true to regret the years we have missed out on and how poorly we treated ourselves. These years have made me grateful for the present. Atleast we can truly appreciate our lives and health now. Keep spreading your powerful message. I hope so many more women overcome this. God bless ❤
absolutely love this comment, thanks so much and let's be more grateful for the present together. love you ❤
Thank you Anna for sharing your expreriences so sincerely! I found myself over and over again during watching this video and it helps me so much to realize how OKAY I can be with myself and how important it is to listen to my body. Love you and your work out videos! ❤
Danke Anna! Das war eine sehr tolle Episode ❤ sehr informativ, interessant und auch lustig. Du bist ein Sonnenschein ❤😊 Danke für diese offenen Worte!
I adore Anna she made healthy food look so tasty, she show herself down at times.
Yesterday was my rest day from working out and if I’m being honest I did feel guilty. I feel like we are trained to feel guilty and sometimes it’s so hard for me to stop my brain from going there and I feel like I just make myself feel bad about myself too much. And it makes it so hard when I go on social media and see all these other people working out and being active constantly. (Even though I know they too must have rest days.) So for me this was a much needed reminder! You are so inspiring and help me feel confident, love you so much Anna! ❤️
You’re not alone❤️ you got this!!!
@HamsterHooper4Life ❤️❤️
Quit Instagram(it helped me a lot) and maybe TikTok if you have, I left TH-cam and Whatsapp it works
I‘m soooo happy about this video and about finding you channel! You are motivating and inspiring me every day ❤❤❤thank you sooooo much you‘ve changed a LOT in my life and I guess in others life also!
this was so helpful thank you so much, i have always been on and off with working out consistently, but being a student doing so many other things has exhausted me sm that i always am like oh i'm too tired to go workout, but when i do workout i feel so much better yet i still make excuses. i want to feel healthy but am not taking the steps to do it but now that school is out for the summer i want to build my habits, wish me luck 😭
You’re the best, Anna ❤ thank you so much for everything you do!!
thank you so much for this ❤ ❤ YOU are the best!

Anna thank you so much for the content you create, it is so important especially for young people.❤ Constantly reminding us that the most important thing is health, both physical and mental.
Ps: remember not to drink too much water because that can make you dehydrated too!
Love you ❤
I don't know how to say this but...were we like sisters in our past life because you make me feel that i have an elder sister who looks after me...i am seriously making these...i mean all of these mistakes and now when i listen to you i just feel so so normal also m taking up notes to just stop and have balance
Thank you anna ❤ you have no idea to what extend m grateful to you 🙏 ❤️
Anna, I‘m so grateful that you talked openly about that how dangerous a vigorous fitness regimen can be to your body and your hormonal system.🩷🩷🩷
I stressed my body so harshly with overexercising and strict dieting during puberty that I have lean PCOS since I‘m 16 year old. Up till now, there‘s no cure for PCOS. You can just manage the symptoms which is what I‘m doing.
so happy to see this, really inspires me! 💗
Her honest and contemplating experiences r just the best..thank you so very much for this knowledge anna.. am sure it would be of grt help to many out there...!!❤❤
It was really inspiring dear Anna❤
Thank you ❤
Hello guys, (and Anna!) I'm from Brazil! I've just watched your vlog, and Anna, about your suggestion, doing the vlog about how you got back your period, I think it's a really great idea. I guess many women suffer it when they start their fitness journey, and maybe your tips help us, women, to know more about it. Please, everyone that is reading my comment, give it a like or answer to Anna make a vlog about this sooo important conversation! I don't have my period anymore, and maybe Anna's tips help me and other women with the same problem! Anna, it would be amazing if you read my comment, pleaseeee ❤❤
This is so true about weighing myself every morning but seeing an expected number. I need to stop it.
I’m the same!! Orange hands, because I also eat lots of carrot and pumpkins. ❤❤❤ I’m better now, just eat balance.❤
Gracias por traducirlo al español 🎉🎉 wowww que feliz me hace esto!
In my culture we are encouraged to overeat and be fat thinking it's a sign of cuteness especially if you're fair skin tone
Like skinny culture fat glorification ( chubby culture) was imposed on me and it gave me severe periods cramps and almost reached a hypothyroidism
Now I lost weight eating balanced and getting skinny shamed but I feel better
are u from somalia cuz somali culture obsessed with overeat
You are amazing, You are my idol until 4 years now ! Thank you so much for your workout, I started fitness with you. Now I start the running with you ! Thank you so much for all ♥
Anna, thank you for sharing your vibrant energy ❤
PS. Adoring your bottle!
❤❤
Danke Anna für deine Ehrlichkeit ❤
We love you more, huggggssss♥️
Hi Anna! I love your content! It’s so helpful and inspiring. Thanks so much
Hey, ich fände es voll nice, wenn du vielleicht ein warm Up Video für vor einem Run machen könntest 🥰
Anna thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing your health journey 🥰👍 you are kind, caring & passionate 💐🌻🌼
Ich versuche im Moment ebenfalls meine Periode zurück zu bekommen und es hilft mir so sehr dabei, dir zuzuhören - man fühlt sich so verstanden! 🫶🏼 wüsste gern, wie genau du es geschafft hast, sie zurück zu bekommen, ob du komplett auf Sport, vor allem Cardio/ HIIT verzichtet hast und wie lange es bei dir gedauert hat.
when I was 12, I got my period. But in the same time I started to lose wait, because some people told me that I am fat. Unfortunately, i lost my period:( Now I am 14 and I still don"t have it.
Thankyou so so much!❤
Hello! If you could make a video about how you got your period back it would be a big help. I have been struggling with it, but now that I haven't had it for almost a year I'm starting to get scared.
J’ai tellement été surprise d’entendre ta vidéo en français! Je m’entraîne toujours avec toi dans mon salon mais je n'écoutais pas les autres vidéos parce que mon anglais n’est pas excellent et mon allemand est encore pire😂. En tous cas, merci beaucoup beaucoup de nous aider à grandir. 🥰🍍
Gracias Anna por tus palabras ☺️❤
shes literally why i open youtube
Hey, Anna thank you so much for sharing this. Can you plz share more about your bad knee problem. I got diagnosed with Chondromalacia in February. I had to pause my training sessions. Now i am trying to get back. But it's not that smooth as want it to be. Really hard to find some info on recovery and how to train your lower body once you got bad knees😢
Thank you so Anna, so helpful!❤
thanks so much for being here ❤
Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
nice fitness journey ahead, Anna! ❤❤
I really relate to the rest part. I always felt so guilty when I rested or took a day off, But after watching this I really feel a lot better! Thank you🩷
Thank you so much...very much needed to hear this today! from South Africa
Anna can you please do a curly hair tutorial? They look gorgeous.
I struggle with rest days . I’m so sore but I don’t want to rest. I want to keep working. Also with my eating. I try to eat intuitive but I don’t know if I eat enough and it’s all related to my mental health . My mental health is not good right now
Ich mag dieses Video sehr,ich denke es hilft vielen von uns❤ ich würde sehr gerne das Video,wie du deine Periode wiederbekommen hast, sehen❤️
dankeee für dein Feedback und ich werd mir was zum Thema Period, und Hormone einfallen lassen ❤
I also lost my period for years, and last year I was diagnosed with PCOS. I'm unsure if it is because of my workout routine or nutrition intake. I'm still trying to be healthier, but I haven't managed to have regular periods for now. I'd love to hear your story about how your period came back naturally.
You could have hypothalamic amenorrhea and not actually PCOS. I would recommend a book called “No period, now what?”
@@JoKaier Thanks Jo for your reply and recommendation! Absolutely. I was diagnosed with PCOS last year. It's been a bit hard even just to maintain my weight because I work out almost 5 to 6 days a week, one hour per session, and eat as healthily as I can, but my period still hasn't come for almost 8 months.
Thanks for sharing your story.
Sabes que me encanta, que pongas el audio en español, muchas gracias 🤗🤗
Anna, I love you! your videos makes me think. I guess it was so important to say this for me. because i made this mistakes too and this information is useful for me. thank you for your kindness and that you share experience with us, you're deserve a lot of! i would love to know how you get your period back and what did you do to return it.
I love your videos❤share more content related to diet, exercise and fitness 💗
So related. I am not allowing myself to have rest day. I am doing high intensity cardio everyday and my BMI is always about 18.9 but this year I started to calculate calories and try to lose weight and then I started binge eating and my period just disappeared and my hbA1C increased from 5.5 to 5.7 which means I am pre diabetes now. I am so sad and so disappointed everyday . I am now gaining some weight back but I am still no period and blood sugar level is always high no matter what I eat and especially when I workout hard. I really need to learn how to balance I feel like my hormones are messed up 😢
I love you Anna and thank you for your advice ❤❤
Dying to know your book recommendations 😭😭😭🫶
To say the least I had almost the same experience as u, I am currently 16 years old and I started working out when I was only around 11 years old (Covid times) because I was bullied for being fat since the grade 3 and I was so tired of ppl saying those things to me I just wanted to lose weight and I was so little that I didn’t know much at first I just wanted to hv a flat belly so did some Abs workouts time to time but that didn’t help much so I did full body workouts but I didn’t see any results bcs I wasn’t eating healthy and I ate chocolates, sweets and all kinds of food and whenever I stepped on a scale I was so disappointed i myself bcs I didn’t make any progress and then once when I scaled myself I had lost 5Kg than a week ago so I was so happy so o kinda took some time off of workouts and then again all the weight was back. And then after a year or so I decided to do netball and I thought to myself since I’m doing sports I might not need to work so hard and continued eating and didn’t workout and I got even fatter and I felt so mad bcs I didn’t and it was my fault so then I started working out really hard and started dieting as well and I refused to take rest days bcs I felt like that’s just slowing me down and that phase continued for months and in that phase I was at a point where I felt so mad at myself whenever I couldn’t workout and whenever I ate anything out of my diet even a single piece of chocolate so all I did was workout and eat vegetables and then I started seeing progress I lost weight and I felt so happy when even my friends were noticing so I kept going and going and then I one day I saw that my biceps were bigger and I wanted to build muscle so I started working out with dumbbells and I built up my biceps and shoulders but my back fat was still there so I started doing cardio and lost a lot of weight from it too, then I started skipping rope in April this year and that was the life changer bcs I came so close to my dream physique,I skipped rope 1000+ for a month straight and I only took 2 or 3 rest days and while doing that challenge I was so addicted to the progress that I ignored it all when I strained my ankle I skipped with the pain and it got worse and that was when I took the above mentioned rest days to recover and I was back at it. Then the school started again and when I went back everyone was saying u look thin and all ,y clothes were baggier and I was enjoying it all and then when I was working out I got a tricep strain and I ignored it for a week despite knowing it was tissue pain and then I treated it. But the point is I was just obsessed with working out and all I did was workout I ignored everything for every kg I lost and I also remember when I couldn’t workout for a day I would workout for twice or thrice the next day to catch up, honestly looking back i understand that it was all wrong bcs rn I’m recovering from all the torture and I did to my body and I’m having a balanced life with rests, the pains come time to time but I treat em now.
So if anyone is going through the same thing I hope this helps, bcs I always ignored everything every fitness influencer said I only did their workouts and I wish I had listened to All those tips, I had to learn all those things the hard way also at very young age and I’m glad that i am understanding now. Progress is gonna come, u have to wait. Don’t try fasten the process by overworking bcs that’s not how it works.and I’m sorry if any of those who can relate to this and I’m sorry for everyone in the comments who hv been through a hard time just like this.
Es muy cierto lo que dices, he aprendido ha no saltarme el pre/calentamiento y también el enfrentamiento luego de terminar mi rutina. Además agrego una o dos veces por semana una buena rutina de movilidad ❤ o Yoga y las tuyas son buenísimas... 😊 Saludos
I’ve lost close to 20kg in less than 1 year. I’m now 56kg but I still think I’m fat and naughty coz I do enjoy food and wines. And every time I had some drinks, I felt good at the time but would beat myself up so badly the next day! It’s a vicious cycle despite I exercise daily and will have to punish myself not to eat to compensate myself those wines I had the night before… it’s sad
Thanks a lot it really helps me who just start doing exercise recently you are great ❤❤
Amazing video, as always ❤😊 Thank you for sharing this.
Ideally, one should get our exercise from our jobs. The human body was meant to have a lot of exercise. So you were not wrong to pursuit a lot of exercise in your life. What was missing perhaps, was getting your exercise from your job, but you're doing it now. I mean, you have to stay in shape to inspire others. But in your teenage years you could have joined a handball or a voleyball team or athletics, why didn't you? You get a lot from being part of a group like team work, camaraderie, social skills, fun times. I recomend teenagers joining a sport, specially a team sport. They get super in shape and looking good. But don't feel sorry for missing out in a lot of teenage stuff. Much of that is just bullshit. Teenagers are just having a hard-time and confused. A teenage role model definitely includes study, a lot of exercise or working in their family business. Eventually they become eligible to get married and have kids. That's how it goes. Note: teenagers have no business having sex. If it's that you're missing, then you're lucky. You're not missing nothing. Sex is when you get married. If you start to do it before marriage you're going to be confused, same with masturbation. Don't. Wait until you get married to have sex. You can have a boyfriend or girlfriend but no sex. Anyway, adults compensate in the gym what they can't do in their jobs. Desk jobs, or stationery jobs tend to be unhealthy over the years. However, like you mentioned, lifting weights is silly and can injure you. I can look at soneone who is unbalanced, out of proportion due to liftweighting. It's ridiculous. Exercise should go hand in hand with how you contribute to society, through your job. The greek statues don't say that, but all those statues were from farmers, fishermen, athletes and so on. They got that body through their work. If your work is on the desk, go out in the weekends pickup garbage from the beaches or cut hedges from beighbours or whatnot. Of course, diet is important, but if you spend a lot of time working, you eat less. People eat more than they should because they are iddle or don't work that much. Even oeople who work at the desk can get in shape if they stop snacking and putting 10-12 hours a day helping their company and society. They would get slimmer and healthier and tone would show up.
Hii!!^^
Could you explain a little more about hormones and how to regulate them to feel good and be healthy and happy?
And well, I have a doubt on rest days you should eat the same amount of calories, I'm afraid of eating as much and the same because I don't spend as much and I'm afraid of gaining fat, could you explain that?
Sorry if the question makes you uncomfortable 😣.
Bye❤
Yes, you should eat the same. You don't have to earn calories. What you said sounds a little bit like you're scared of food, please don't do that, I'm saying that as someone who's been dieting since nine years old. I hope you have a normal relationship with food, because food is fuel, but also memories, culture, family, comfort and happiness 💕
Actually now I'm trying to eat normally, I do sports and I have a coach who is helping me, he put me on and told me that I shouldn't worry that I follow the plan and that nothing happens if I eat the same If I don't do sports, he knows I'm afraid, but he tells me to trust, that's what I did but I can't stop thinking that my body is going to change and I hate it, I feel so bad.
I'm tired of these kinds of days, I just want to be well. @@zofiasudomir1165
Thanks!!
I will try to grow and become strong despite the complications, people like that are worth it. I'm sorry for what you had to go through, no one deserves to feel bad about their body, food and more.❤@@zofiasudomir1165
Thank you very much for telling your story and sharing your mistakes💗
I have actually the same problems, unfortunately I’ve noticed it too late, so I hope that other girls will watch your video and won’t repeat all those mistakes❤️🩹🥲
Yes please ..do a video about how do we get our period back
But have a question about this case
.. is it nessecary to gain weight ?
It's not necessary for all women, but please please please do not feel scared of gaining weight. I lost my period for 1 year because I was really underweight and trust me, I was terrified, but you cannot live a normal life if you can't accept weight gain. I had to gain 7 kg for my period to come back but it's different for everyone. I know it's scary but sometimes you have to do scary things. I've lost 3 kg now from that weight gain and that's where I feel my best. Think about health, not a number 💕
@@zofiasudomir1165thank u
Honestly
Your comment relaxed me ❤
But plz can you tell me more details about what have u done to get it back
I'd LOVE a video on hormones/a regular menstrual cycle!
P.S.: I bought your water bottle last week ❤
