- Reflecting on the past year, my weight has been a persistent challenge. The struggle with my body image has been a source of unhappiness, affecting me deeply. As I approached 2024, I was determined not to carry the same negative mindset about my weight. Through consistent effort and the support of the right people, I managed to shed 100lbs (2501b → 159|b), but there's more progress to be made.
Sharing personal struggles like this is always daunting, but Persistently showing up for yourself and maintaining consistency can lead to significant achievements in life.
My goal for 2024 is to be honest with myself and embrace vulnerability by posting about my journey, regardless of others' opinions. I've reached a point where I am content both mentally and physically.
To those still in the process of losing weight, please don't lose heart-it takes time, but the journey is worthwhile.
Keep pushing forward, and don't give up on yourself

Many people have been asking me about where I got my sport bra or outfit from. I've actually created an Amazon storefront, which I've linked in this description. So, if you want to know where I got everything, you can simply click the link and browse through it.

Hello your story is such an inspiration. How many months after starting working out did you have the problem of not seeing changes on the scale? Because i have the exact same problem after starting working out and watching my food :(
wow! I wanna hug you. I am remembering so much of my experience similar to you from coming to America at 13, gaining a lot of weight so fast after been told I am so skinny. And trying my best to lose it and understand my bingeing.
Hanna, please consider reading the book Woman’s weight loss secrets: the unspoken truth, its a game changer
Some of these aunties need deliverance. I’m glad you prioritised your peace of mind and left that church. I don’t know why some people think it’s okay to comment on anyone’s body or life choices especially at their big age. And it’s always unsolicited, like who asked you? Mind the God you serve and the business that pays you. I feel so upset that you had to go through all of that but I’m grateful you’ve overcome that stage in your life and you’re becoming the person you want to be ❤❤
AMEN 🙏🏾 and thank you so much 😊
The aunties must be stopped

Good morning! My takeaway is work on your mental health FIRST, and the weight will go. Thanks for being vulnerable. I'm sure it's gonna help thousands of us, it will not go to waste. I also want to add that the devil really uses people to hit us at our weakest spot and the only way he'll stop hitting us there is wen it becomes a strong spot and then he'll just move to another spot. The good news is that, we can just apply the same principle to that other spot. But I am happy that you acknowledged that it was when you cried out to God from the depth of your heart that change came. Gid heard and answered your prayer and gave you the thought to seek professional help. Sometimes we get so superspiritual that we forget that it is GOD Who has given knowledge and wisdom to the psychiatrist, the nutritionist the gym teacher and that is just as healing as a miracle of everything just being fixed immediately. So we give God the glory! So thanks again
You know @byMarieA, I'm still going thru the "everyone telling me what to do " stage. I remember I lost over 30 pounds and they started saying stop now, the SAME persons who said do something! Thanks to this video I have found the fix. The devil is real, haters will hate and we can't stop them, but we can fix our mental health so it doesn't matter. I would say, for myself, I have to just hear only what Gid says about me and focus on that. Psalm 139 says 'i am fearfully and wonderfully made, marvelous are Your works O Lord!". Gonna hold on to that
After I cut off my abusive and toxic family in November 2023, I went from 234 to 186. That extra weight of trauma and neglect just LIFTED off my shoulders thank God 🎉 We’re so proud of you for sharing your story and that you’re still here with us ❤️❤️❤️
All I can say is I’m proud of you.
Much love from South Africa

I’ll be in 🇿🇦 this year!
@@pinkextra305jetsetter4Have fun!!! Safe travels!!!
I am so proud of love. Your mental health matter more 💕💕
I’m so happy for you! 🎉 Cutting off family seems like it’s no easy feat, so congratulations to you! k
The vulnerability in this video is unmatched. Thank you for sharing your story, Hanna! You are so strong, keep soaring❤️
I love you so much Liv 🫶🏿😘
I am extremely proud of you. Whenever you feel like you are going backward, always come back to your audio diary to remember why you started your journey.
THANK YOU SO MUCH ☺️
Rrfo TV a1 we u were I o😮d@@Hannaabfit
Girl I’m crying right along with you! I’m so happy you’ve found peace and balance. What an inspirational story!
You were gorgeous before you lost the weight and beautiful now as well. You are just a beautiful person who glows, I can’t wait to see more videos from you! I love the including of prayer! Prayer is sooo important! ❤
Thank you so much 😊
You’ve done an amazing job sis, healing your mind and body. I’m so sorry that church aunties put you through all this. I want you to know you’ve inspired me so much and I want to go on my own journey. Saw you from Instagram and listening to you here has given me the motivation to figure out my why and get healthier. God bless you. 💕
Thank you so much for the support and I am cheering you on. You got this 📣
There are so many aspects of your story I relate to, I'm at 208 right now down from 235 and hoping to eventually get to the weight you are now. Thank you for talking about the emotional side of weight and weight loss and for being so open about mental health.
This sounds so familiar I have lost 50lbs am still over 200lbs and people keep telling me that I don't need to loose any more weight and I know I am not yet at the weight I need to be but the comments keep coming. I am not going to let them stop me.
You spoke volumes to my childhood self. I'm sad that we went through a similar journeybut I'm so proud of you for sticking it through, especially when it seems that everyone was against your mental health. That part when you said "hearing it at home AND outside" hit home! I'm so so grateful that you've found a healthy relationship with yourself/food/life. Praying you continue to have peace + tenderness with yourself🫶🏾.
Let's keep going!!! 🤸🏾♂️🧘🏾♀️🏋🏾♀️
I’ve never heard anyone talk about the hatred and INTENSE discomfort that I’ve also felt. So thank you. I’ve never felt more seen.
this made me cry :( i went through that exact same disorder, it's so so difficult but luckily i've changed my habits and no longer have the terrible mindset that brought me so much pain. you're so wonderful thank you for sharing x
Girl you did it , I am so motivated by your videos and your story
Thankyou so much for being brave and sharing your story hun, I understand it wasn't easy but believe me there are women who were/are in your shoes and your results are truly inspiring❤.
How can people comment on other people's body in a place of worship. So off putting
I have my own body goals! I move to the beat of my own drum. I'm glad you figured it out. To young women of the world, please don't let people influence how you feel about yourself. If you accept their compliments, you will accept their criticism. Just be authentically you. ❤
Wow!! I have never thought about it this way. Ignoring the criticism AND the compliments. That makes a lot of sense. Because honestly, if you can’t feel good about yourself without compliments, you will never be satisfied, and there’s a deeper problem inside.
@@wizardlizard55555 Precisely!
Wow, this story made me so sad. I literally cried!!! At the end I’m crying from happiness for you! People need to understand that your value does NOT change when your weight is up or down. You were amazing before, during and after your journey. I’m proud of you señorita! 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾
HANNA I AM SO PROUD OF YOU !!
This woman is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your story. You are so brave and we’re all proud of you.
It’s so sad you had to go through this at a young age. My heart goes out to you. You’re a strong woman ❤
Wow I’m so inspired! I wish I could afford help. I’m currently trying to deal with this on my own at 5’2 230lbs 😭 I developed an eating disorder from family comments as well. One minute I’m too big and another I’m too small. It made my body dysmorphia worse! I’ve always been a big girl so I heard negative comments or comments about my weight for majority of my life. I lost my job 6 months ago and it further took a toll on my mental health. I gained over 65 pounds in six months. I don’t want to continue getting bigger because I hate myself. I don’t think I ever felt beautiful. And I want that to change
you're such a sweet person, you deserve all positivity!!!
I just started watching and the first thing I see is your BEAUTIFUL smile. Ok now I will keep watching❤
So proud of you ma sœur keep being the light ❤️👏🏾
THANK YOU SO MUCH YANIS 🫶🏿🫶🏿
Girl do what pleases you ok, I'm skinny girl and people will be asking me when will i gain weight 😢. They will be the same people to comment when i become chubby 😂
Only in America would people chide about being skinny. Too many African Americans with health problems for this to happen. I’m big and on a weight loss journey, so I acknowledge this.
Ooof! @30:00 is exactly what I needed to hear. I am working out and have started taekwondo, am actively and maybe obsessively counting calories, but the scale does not seem to be budging. Thank you for sharing your journey and light!!✨💗
Dang!! I can only like this video once. Stay focused on you Queen. There are a lot of unhappy play happy people in the world.
This is the most relatable video about weight that I have ever heard. I also did the sneak eating and starve myself. But I’m still going through the process of healing my relationship with food and working out
Beautiful testimony ❤So glad you are advocating for mental health, as a therapist I love helping my clients holistically as well, and educating my clients about the relationship with food and mental health/mood and how closely they are interlinked. Thanks for sharing! All the best to you on your journey ❤
People are so rude!! And sometimes you have to give the same energy they give you. You can be disrespectful in a respectful way when it comes to rude people. Teach them to leave you alone with a smile on your face.
I love how true you remain to your upbringing. To see you suffer in silence is not okay from other comments. As now being adults, we have to learn to be respectful and also assertive. It is fine with telling others to respectfully stay in their place. And remember ppl will push as long as they think they can and that is why we ultimately do things on our terms and for ourselves, not others. One day they are hot, the next they are cold and will send you to an early grave! I am glad you discovered the balance of living for yourself while maintaining your integrity and being assertive at the same time! Congratulations
You look good even when you were heavier. I was bullied for my size growing up. It really messed with me even today I don’t love my body, and the strange part is people compliment me all the time now. But the damage has already been done.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful story with us Hanna. ❤
All this sounds so familiar 😢 I have always been chubby, but in 2019 I lost lots of weight to the point where People used to ask if I was sick. They were like you’re too skinny, are you okay? I’m telling my own family y’all. Fast forward to 2023, I had my baby and since then I’ve gained so much weight. It’s like everyone I meet keeps commenting on how fat I am. Like I know I see myself in the mirror everyday 😢 what’s crazy is I starve myself all day and over eat at night.
I know. It's like we're not allowed to exist at any weight without comments.
I love this for you Hanna. Your glow is so amazing and this motivated me to get my ass up and jump the rope😂
😂😂. thank you so much for even taking my time out of your day to watch it 💕💕
Thank you so much for being brave and vulnerable enough to share your story to help others❤ Your testimony will help allot of people
Thank you for sharing your story….While I think it’s important to have an accountability partner, friend, I think sometimes we have to make moves in silence and just do the work we need to do for ourselves. Oftentimes we can share with people and they will undermine you…so good on you for staying focused and making your journey your priority. Congrats on all of it!
As a Jamaican girl i feel everything you said like the struggles i real i didn’t realize these issue until i became a adult and i feel like im forever stuck in a cycle where i lose the weight and gain it back and i feel like im never satisfied but it be the people around always having something to say
It hurt me to hear everything you went through. I’m proud of you. Keep protecting your peace ❤️ you’ve done an amazing job. So glad you stop listening to those negative people.
So the people around you saw your light and purity, which made them look at what they didn’t like in themselves so to avoid having to do that, they then took it out on you over and over again. Even blood family. Wow, what a wonderful, kind soul to take all of that on to then begin taking your power back and love yourself. Glad you have your sisters. God bless you and thank you for sharing your story. I’m looking forward to being on the other side so I can tell people to mind their business.
Thank you so much ! Your comment means a lot 🥹
You are strong, beautiful and courageous. Hold your head high. Blessings to you.
Thank you for sharing your story! Its encouraging to hear that all your hard work payed off even when you didn’t see results right away. I’m sorry that people thought it was ok to comment on your body. At any weight it is rude and unhelpful; you know what is best for your own body and health and everyone else can stfu. Good luck on your continuing journey, gorgeous!
Omg! People can be so unfeeling, inconsiderate, and rude ! You are so beautiful and special to the world and especially to The Most High. Bless your soul.
Much love and respect. You were enough back then and you are enough now. Always remember that❤
This story resonated so much with me. I faced a lot of similar issues, and I really feel like my solution was going to therapy and fixing my relationship with food. It's hard, hard work, and it's constant - every day I have to remind myself why I'm doing it and to love myself through the process. Thank you for sharing your story!!!
You doing great Hanna! Go girl💫 I'm proud of you👍 keep the good work up,👏 don't let no one discourage you.🙏
This opened my eyes. I’ve been wanting my mom to lose weight and eat healthy because I love her and want her to be healthy. I never said it out loud but I wanted to tell her to not eat late or reduce her portions but now I see that is not the way. I would never want her to feel a way or feel the need to hide. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for sharing ur story! I’m so proud of ur journey and I related to so much of this. I’ve always been just the chubbier kid and also had a community of people from temple that I’d see every week and adults would make comments. I was literally 10 years old when a 50 yr old man made a very direct comment about my body and how I need to lose weight to look pretty as a little girl. I was already struggling with bullying in school and hearing comments at home. It was just so triggering coming from someone you’d thought u could trust and look up to, I just locked myself in the bathroom and just cried. The worst part is I was still healthy at the time but these comments and stress made me spiral and develop bad eating habits. Im still on and off with my weight loss journey I’m a bit of a perfectionist so im kinda all or nothing which isn’t helpful. It’s just difficult rn bc im exhausted trying so hard to be seen bc nobody ever sees you if youre fat in this society and it’s fucking hard.
I’m so sorry you went through all of that with those rude people at your church no one deserves to be treated that way. You are beautiful and you always will be
thankyou so much for posting this! im so beyond proud ❤
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING 🥹
I happened to come across this video during work and downloaded it to watch on the train home.
Honestly one of the best decisions, because there was so soooo much I identified with in your story. Some times I got so frustrated and thought myself insane for my terrible relationship with food. I've tried to get help before, but I see now that it was always so lazy and half heartedly. I had no faith in or love for myself and it showed from the way I treated my pain. I would disengage with the very help I sought after as soon as I felt a drop of vulnerability from me, because I had had to hide that side of me for so long since I was reminded over and over again that that was the only way to be loved.
But I can't love myself without being honest with myself, Andi can't be honest with myself if I'm not vulnerable with myself 💙
Thank you.
pleasee you have me crying:( i struggled with eating and sports throughout middle and high school, the toll it takes on you mentally is otherworldy, especially when u go through it alone!
Love this. Mental health is definitely linked to weight x
Aww the beginning so sad of this people
Congrats on ur journey 🙌🏾🙌🏾
You are so gorgeous!! I've been fat all my life and it's so comfoting to know I'm not alone with the comments that skinny girls got it too. It so hard when you can never escape your own skin or the way people talk about you. Your story has inspired me. I'm 195 and I'm hoping to lose 65 pounds! I just love how you talk do openly about the emotional trama that leads people to become overweight so many people say were lazy and unmotivated. You are so amazing and I hope the rest of your journey is smooth sailing! ❤❤❤
Watching this video from my television, I had to use my phone to leave a comment. You brought me to tears sharing your pain, then made me smile soo hard when you became victorious! You're a beautiful soul, no matter what your weight is or was. I can see that about you. I can also see that you're happier now and will be happy still, at your target weight. Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐 🥳 You deserve all the happiness you can take and then some ❤. I hope you never allow miserable people to be your company again. You are a star 🌟 and the world could use more people who are beautiful inside and out, like you.
So inspiring 💗💗 Keep up the amazing work queen x
Thank you love 💗
Great job mama 👏🏽 You DID THAT! ❤️ May god continue to bless & guide you on your journey 🙏🏾🥰✝️
I don't know you but I'm proud of you!
I am so happy you sought help. Our Ghanaian community can be so ruthless with their comments. I am glad you went past that. As you experienced they will say mean things when you lose weight and vice versa when you gain weight. You have to always stay true to you. I had a similar experience where everyone was concerned about my weight loss at a point in my life but I turned a deaf ear to everything they said. You are beautiful always remember that❤❤
Sorry to hear you went through all that. People don’t realise the power of their words 🤦🏾♀️ But well done you for making it to a good place 💜💚
Thank you for being so raw and real with your story! would love to hear the breakdown of the process 💗
I just found you today. I liked and subscribed. ❤
You look amazing!! It be the people you know that are your biggest bullies. It's a shame. So proud that you got the help you needed and didn't listen to the people around you after you realized they were the problem. That goes to show you that the people making comments are the ones that need therapy and a psychiatrist as well. Whoever is reading this and you're one of those people that judge others and look down upon others, this is a message to be a little nicer
Don't listen to people's negative comments you're beautiful and you deserve happiness you worked hard kuddos to you
Thank you for your vulnerability and transparency. Our community really needs to do better. Judging and putting down someone else in a house of God should never be normal behaviour. It is truly a reflection on their own unhappiness. Wishing you love and light ❤
WOW!! You’re so impressive, keep posting!! You’ve got a huge fan ❤️
I have been almost every size on the size spectrum. I must say no matter if I was skinny, slim thick, thick, or full figure ppl always had something to say. Do what makes you happy. Don’t gain weight or lose weight to please others. Half the ppl that make comments on your weight need to look in the mirror at themselves
Wow thanks so much for sharing. I remember a saying growing up …”sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me” I learned that’s a LIE! Words can hurt and can follow throughout life.
I came here from your short. Wow, you have a great journey. You have a beautiful soul and I hope you keep it up! God bless ❤
That’s sad- the same happened to me.even my mom had a role in my ED. She forced me to hold my tummy made me wear fajas. I’d throw. She tried commenting on my tummy in ‘22 I got sooo mad I told her I look good for being almost 40 and my husband loves it. Can’t Stand ppl like that.
Thank you for sharing,
But, OHMYGOSH, I can’t stop staring at your beautiful, beautiful skin! My God!
Congrats lady! A million views before the end of the year 😊🎉
Sending Love and Light 🫶 So Happy For You and I’m Excited To See What Your Future Holds.
I remember when my blind aunt, who I hadn't visited in a year, hugged me and said, "Ooo baby, there's a lot more to hug, you got bigger"
Ruined my confidence, like if a blind woman noticed I got bigger, everyone does. 😢
Wow, I relate to you so much. Thank you for telling your story ❤
Congrats to you on your weight loss journey. 🎉 You are enough. ❤
Congratulations to you and major shout out for sharing your story
The enemy was at work. Using ignorant people in the church. I’m so proud of you. The lord carried you through. The enemy was on an assignment to break you but he did not win! The lord always has the final say! Keep pushing through beautiful. People like that in church are operating in wickedness and they can’t even see it. And even if they do, there is no way they are truly after the heart of God with that heart posture. The lord shall continue to be your peace in Jesus name ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just found you and I just want to say thank you for existing and sharing your story 💖 I hope you know you are so much more powerful than you realize.
Aww, I got emotional watching this. I hate that you felt that way. 🥺I know that feeling is not a good feeling. I’m glad you kept going! ❤
You can never please humans for real!!! Please continue your journey, they want you to regress
I am a guy and you're a beautiful young lady, for the first time in my life, or felt like I was looking in the mirror as you opened up about your journey
A female version of me because I can relate soooo much and I wish more people understood the struggle and the bad relationships we build with food and how difficult it is.
From the bottom of my heart. I'm proud of you and thank you for sharing. I hope you create more content around your journey. It felt so short because I was so engaged
Much love from South Africa 🇿🇦❤️
There’s so much I could say but I’ll simply say you did a beautiful job articulating your story and thank you so much for your vulnerability ❤
You are AMAZING!!! Thank you for sharing!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Yay, sis!!!!
You are beautiful!!! Sharing is healing...🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
So proud of you!!! YOU DID THAT 👏🏽👏🏽
I love you sis🫶🏾 & I am so proud of you🤝🏾🥲
Woww! we had the SAME experience. In church, people were telling me I was skinny when I first moved and I started eating more (I was around 11/12 years old). People then told me I was getting bigger and I thought it was a good thing. I gained SOOOO much weight... then, people at church were now telling me I was too big. Eventually, I was so big and felt horrid about myself. Also, I went to the doctors who told me I had an eating disorder. Unreal to hear my own story being told back to me. Thanks for sharing, sending love!
Was crying with You😭
I feel every single story You have told!!
Sending love and hugs!!!🤗
You are so beautiful, and such a pure soul!!
Soo proud of you🫶🏻
Thank you for sharing your story. I relate to so many of your struggles and relationship with food. I think it’s perfect how you mentioned taking care of your mental health, the physical weight will come off. I’m in my journey and I’m glad I found your video. ❤
Thank you, I needed this encouragement, especially about starting out with my mental health. Proud of you !
Aloha, you're GREAT🎉❤! I watch transformation v videos everyday and your the first one, I've seen to open up about bulimia.
At my highest weight I reached 206 lbs all in my belly with small legs and arms at 5'8".
I was so unhealthy and needed a hip replacement.
Luckily my village had a small OA 12 step group.
I eventually got my mind right and back to my ideal weight.
Thats when i got my new hip.
Unfortunately i gained a lot during the lockdown . I am up 50 lbs.
But b/c of videos like yours, i am once again inspired and eating well joined a gym to walk on the treadmill and best of all patient with the now 1-2 pound a week loss I'm seeing. Mahalo for sharing 😂 Aloha UnkoCarlo
As a minister, I am sorry that you got so hurt in church and I am proud of you for leaving that church.
You should be so proud of yourself! And thank you so much for sharing your story with us and being vulnerable. You are saving someone’s life simply by sharing.
We were born in different continents, different cultures but our story is very similar. In Turkish culture you don't talk back to elderly people. I was skinny as a child and had super healthy eating habits. But I started to gain weight in my teenage years due to stress. If no one said anything about my appearance and my weight I would have lost the puppy fat as I grew oldef and would have never been obese.I believe teaching obedience to children is wrong. Cooperation and mutual respect should be thought.
Thank you soooooo much for sharing this amazing journey. I went through the same thing in my home church with older people committing on my body size. This gives me so much joy to hear your story. I’m so proud of you for keep going and God has so much more in stores for you! ❤❤❤
