life after weight loss | restriction, binge eating & finally finding balance
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ก.ย. 2024
- This is probably one of the realest and most transparent videos I've ever uploaded. Though there are plenty of videos online about how to lose weight..I definitely think there needs to be more conversation around the mental and physical affects many of us face AFTER a weight loss journey. Restriction, binge eating and body dysmorphia are struggles that many of us deal with in silence but I've decided to use my voice and platform to let you know that if you are facing similar struggles, that you are not alone.

BREATHE… I felt that exhale Paige. You will get through this. The hard part is over, you’ve acknowledged the issue and you can now focus on your recovery. You’ve got this! 🙌🏾
This video was realistic and relatable, it took a lot of strength to tell your story I can’t lie I definitely felt this and can relate thank you so much for sharing something so personal 💖
Thank you so much Tanishia! 💗
Big respect for being able to talk about a personal subject like this.
Stay strong and never be afraid to ask for help!
Thank you so much 😊
This vid came at the perfect time. My vice is alcohol. I can feel myself becoming an alcoholic. I'll deliberately not buy it, then spend my sober days crying because I don't have it. Longing for it, wanting it so badly I can't do anything else. I haven't made up my mind that I want to be without it. But there are certain things you mentioned that will help me as I contemplate my next move. Thank you.
Sending you love and I hope you find healing!
I wish I could give you a hug. I hate you went through that. But I'm glad you figured it out. Everyone's struggle is different but the end result is to be healthy and not only that but HAPPY. I used to say that life is a journey but I have discovered that life is a series of journeys. We are happy that you have decided to share some of your journeys with us. I'm sure we all can see a little bit of ourselves in each other and that makes us family. Another great video sis. You got this!
Thank you so much for this comment Crystal!! 💗💗
Thankyou for sharing your experiences with restrictive & binge eating. I feel like this isn't something that is really spoke about and I really feel it should be. You should be so proud for sharing your story and showing your strength to do so. This has really helped. You should be really proud of yourself. Sending you all my love
Thank you so much for sharing your truth. I can truly relate. I’ve gained 20 pounds since the pandemic began, prior to that I had lost almost 50 pounds. I got married last year, moved to another state, and just eating like no tomorrow. Ordering Lou’s deep dish pizza and Garrett’s popcorn from back home, just doing too much. I feel heavy, depressed, and unhealthy. But today is the day to start again, to eat to live. We got this! Sending love and light. 💞
I relate to this so much. 3 years ago I lost 80lbs on a medically supervised super restrictive diet. I had a coach I would see weekly. It took me 9 months. Slowly I started re-incorporating normal foods again but was still supppeeerrr cautious. Fall 2020 I gained 10lbs due to stress and tried to get my weight back down but I just couldn't seem to restrict myself like before. I realized that I don't need to get my weight back down. Doctor said I was fine even though I mentioned wanting to lose 10lbs. Since moving to London in September (thanks to your videos ❤) I've started to eat whatever I felt like i wanted. No more deprivation. If I want it ill have it and my weight has been stable. I cook everyday so I know that helps. I still have my moments (having dreams I gained all the weight back and body image issues) but I'm working on it! Thanks for being so amazing and honest! ❤❤
Wow I loved this video so much Paige! I’m going through a weight loss journey right now and literally had anxiety about having to go places this weekend (because all of January was work and gym). I’m focusing on balance and making weightloss apart of my life instead of making it my life. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story and being so transparent and real. A lot of women, including me, have suffered through the dieting struggle. Your openness uplifts all of us!
Thank you so much for sharing this, Paige 💛🥺 Your vulnerability I can guarantee is helping so many people that are afraid to talk about this topic or don’t know where to turn. Oddly enough, I swear we have had some pretty similar experiences with life in London and from the way you explained this - this situation as well! I went through something extremely similar probably about two years after you did (from the not wanting to be thin but fit, to the MFP, to the eating at different places on family trips). I can tell you that you’re the person I needed to on my feed and to hear some wisdom and vulnerability when I was going through that. It’s an extremely difficult mental thing to navigate and recover from. So one, I hope you are proud of yourself - you’re incredible ❤️. And two, I really can’t stress enough the appreciation and gratitude I have for you making this video. Surprisingly enough what ended up helping me get better was my move to London and wanting to experience life and learning that there is so much more to life than a diet or a look. Cheers to eating intuitively and being the healthy we need (mentally and physically)!
Awww Paige {hugs} ! 💕 Thank you for this. I know it wasn’t easy but you are helping so many begin healing just by speaking on it. You are beautiful and so strong 💪🏾 You got this💙🤍
Awwwww!! Paige my heart!! This is such a sensitive topic for ALL women we have to be so perfect for people to notice us and value us…but honey you are beautiful no matter what size you are….I’m currently dealing with the same issues I joined Weight Watchers on New Years Eve now 18 lbs lighter….there are no rules you just count your daily points most fruit and veggies are 0 points I’ll binge on my zero point foods and it’s helped a lot being able to still do it but healthier….you will reach all your goals girl don’t be too hard on yourself because not everyone can be beautiful in all sizes and you can loll love you bunches lovey😘😘keep pushing!
Your apple cider vinegar video is how I found your channel. Then I started checking out other videos and saw you were a traveler and I subscribed immediately. I do not even remember you as overweight. You had lost the weight by the time I subscribed.
Thank you for being a subscriber 😊
@@PaigeMariah just know you're not alone. It took strength to tell this. And none of us are perfect. We all have a vice. It's all about admitting and dealing with it to better ourselves. 🙂
Samesies, right when you moved to London was when I subscribed to your channel. Thanks for sharing your journey so far, I've been through similar eating cycles and seen the highs and lows of the scale. But I just had my third baby and while I want to lose the weight, I want to be kind to myself and enjoy where I'm at in life. Hearing your story is a good reminder of that. I look forward to your future videos, life's a journey!
The way I got emotional watching this 🥺🥺 I had the worst relationship with food for a very long time and I was too embarrassed to get help or talk to anyone about it. I really admire your strength in talking about it. I know this will someone else who is also experiencing the same thing.
Hi Paige, thank you for sharing your story. I think many of us have been through this but are too embarrassed to admit it. I have problems with ‘emotional eating’ it’s difficult to talk about & to overcome. Life has been very stressful these past couple of years. I think we should give ourselves a break, treat ourselves with empathy & kindness. Work on making things better 💖💖💖
💗💗💗💗
I believe you will find the balance as you are so diligent in getting the information. The first is always the mind. All the best on your journey. Blessings in every step you take.
Paige, I didn't start watching your videos (along with a few others) until 2020, the result of Covid-19! The pictures of you doing your early years, I would never have been able to recognize you! You've come along way in being able to tell your story. Thank goodness you are smart. & wise enough to know that you need to be happy & healthy in your life. Most of us (doing sometime in our lives) let 'FOOD' control us! Once we find that 'Balance ' that fits our own individual needs, only then will it work. Good luck in the future. Remember not everyday will go as plan, and that's ok. We just pick ourselves. up, and start over again. Blessed Sunday!
I was crying with you sis. Sending love and light your way. You got this!
Thanks for sharing this and for being so vulnerable. I can totally relate to a lot of this from really coming to terms with disordered eating at times to facing unsustainable habits when it comes to weight management. Most things only work as long as we do them so really intense restriction and exercise can be so life altering. I didn’t even know the term food freedom but have accepted many of its principles. I am so glad you are finding your way of managing and finding freedom.
I appreciate your story! So relatable and know you’re not alone ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much 😊
Hearinig your story was extremely relatable and validating; Nobody ever talks about the physical and mental effects of gaining weight after a huge weight loss journey!!! I definitely had a similar experience with gaining weight very quickly after a huge weightloss experience before the pandemic, and it's still a bit of an ongoing struggle but we workin on it- Looking forward to the intuitive eating content!! ^-^
Thank you SO much!! ❤️
I Love you 😘 and ur strength so much Been Watching you for awhile now ! Stay Positive Paige ! 💜
Thank you so much! It really means more than you know 💗
I been rocking with you for years, prob watched all those old videos about your weight loss journey… Took guts to do this and we see you sis. Thanks for sharing your story. It’s okay for us to be human and learn and grow 😘😘
Thanks for sharing your story. I did wonder why you did he same meal prep for years so now it makes sense. I'm glad that you were able to talk to your mum and best friend about it. The Cocoabana has been a lot mentally for people to deal with. Wishing you all the best with your new way of eating.
Hi paige, thanks for the share. That had to be hard. The good thing is that you are making positive and healthy changes. Don't be so hard on yourself, you human. Love you keep the vlogs coming ❤
You are brave!!! You will be amazing on your new journey!!
Thank you so much!!
Giiiirrrrllll, crrryyy. Let it all out. I'm sooo sorry you went through all this.
Thank you so much for sharing so honestly. I've been looking more into my health and fitness and this video literally addresses a good number of the concerns I've been having knowing how it can be a slippery slope. I definitely needed this.
Wishing you all the best. Excited to witness the journey. Praying for you as you find balance and peace ❤️
Thank you so much for these kind words and prayers ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing. I needed to hear this
So glad you told your truth. Not for viewers but for yourself . So thankful you shared this because you are not alone! Push through Paige.. the ups and downs are only a part of learning.. You got this girl!!💕💕
Thank you so much! Really means a lot 💕
Thank you so much for sharing this, Paige! I used to struggle with binge eating for years and finally created a healthier lifestyle and lost a lot of weight. After an injury in September I was bedridden and I still can't walk much, so I've gotten back into binging while I'm bored and have put on half of the weight that took 4 years to lose, in just 5 months. So I'm looking forward to beginning this journey with you!
Wow, thanks so much for sharing this Amber. We can do this!
I have been diagnosed with BED. I said once that I would eat all the food I make and my doctor said I was treating my body like a garbage can. That was an eye opener. She had me order a workbook called Intuitive Eating. I haven't started it but have made a plan with my counselor to work in it between our biweekly appointments. (I've had the workbook for over 2 years) I understand completely how you feel and look forward to watching more videos that you post!
You stay strong and hang in there. As we get older it’s hard to find the balance. We got to able to enjoy life as well.
Thanks so much
You are brave to share this story. Please show yourself some grace. We all struggle sometimes and that is okay. The most important thing is that you acknowledge it and is taking steps to manage it. I wish you much success on this journey. You have the strength to do it. Blessings.
Guuurl this video was right on time!!! So relatable! I felt really bad after I overate yesterday and was feeling straight up guilty. We are in this journey together ❤️❤️‼️
Thanks for sharing your journey with us. I'm 57 and sweetheart 💕 I struggle and it's REAL... I just started following you and you are so amazing 👏 I'm about to undergo a 50lbs loss myself because I have to get back to my HIGH SCHOOL SKINNY SELF just because I want to for me. No I don't have any health issues. I want it for myself so I can be a NEW ME JUST FOR ME. I want from long hair to platinum buzz cut 6 years ago. I'm allowing my hair to grow out yet when I watch your videos I SOOOOO MISS my platinum buzz hair. The platinum kept my gray away and the buzz cut kept styling products and tools to zero. I cut my hair and bleach all myself via TH-cam videos. I understand and went through all that you shared and still ❤ do. Mental Health is the most important thing. I love you my darling ♥
Paige thank you for sharing your truth with us and I'm so glad you over came that obstacle in your journey. I also had that problem but mines was working out. I exercised everyday 7 days a week and I had to stop bcuz my body started working against me instead of for me. I loved the outcome I got down to a size 6 and people thought something was wrong with me. Again thank you for sharing and remember you are strong QUEEN and BEAUTIFUL ❤️❤️❤️
I love watching you grow and learn, it’s inspiring to me for myself and you should be proud of yourself for how far you’ve come despite your hardships!! ❤️❤️
Thank you so much!!
How Brave you are to share this🙏🏽🙏🏽😘😘❤️❤️❤️I know it was hard and I’m glad that you have a support system that is there for you no matter what🙏🏽 We put so much stress on ourselves which is not how God wants us to live! You are such an inspiration for many young and old. I’m praying that God continues to Bless you and increase your territory🙏🏽😘❤️❤️God Bless😘
PLEASE DON'T CRY. YOU CAN DO IT. YOU ARE A VERY SMART YOUNG LADY. I KNOW YOU CAN DO WHAT EVER YOU FEEL THAT IS BEST FOR YOU. DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE NEGATIVE PEOPLE. YOU ARE VERY SPECIAL TO ME. ❤ 💕 BE STRONG AND LOTS OF LOVE BABY GIRL
I use to have a obsession with my food and calories in my 20s, I would basically starve myself eating only 1,200 calories a day and I was very active exercising several days a week so not nearly enough food. I think that all lead to me being my heaviest now and binge eating for many year's up until now if we do it right and slow focus on nutrition eat everything in moderation don't eliminate foods we won't feel deprived that's when we start feeling like we're missing out. I binged often many people who have issues with their weight binge eat studies show you're definitely not alone it's hard to talkabout these things makes us volunerable. I just started taking control of my food addiction going to a weightloss group and therapy.I'm glad you shared people need to hear that their not alone many of us face the same challenges and problems great vlog.
Oh Paige my love please don’t feel bad you are helping so many people right now . May God aide you in your recovery. Please know you are going to be ok . Thank you for sharing 😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 love this vid
Thank you for sharing your story, Paige! I am struggling as well.
I will pray for us, girl!
Sending you love ❤️

I appreciate this so much, thank you! 💗
You are an inspiration to others. Be strong .Thank you.
Thanks for sharing Paige. I recently realised I needed to lose some weight, and what's I found works for me is less junk and portion control. Working for me so far, and is saving me money. I do have to have the occasional treat though or I go a bit crazy. Keep up the good work hon.
Definitely appreciate your transparency, Paige. * sending a virtual hug * ♥️
Our journeys are literally identical. Thankful I'm not going through this alone!
💗💗💗
Sweet Paige, I hate that you had to go through this. Thank you for opening up and sharing with us. I definitely needed to hear it. ❤️
Thank you so much for watching ❤️
wow. Just found this. Thanks so much for your transparency it helps me!
🫶🏼
Great video Paige. Thanks so much for sharing and being honest, reflecting on past and present. Relatable as I'm trying to work on my disordered eating and it's definitely a long journey! So glad you're in a better place and positive about the future. Glad you could confide in your mum and best friend!
Thank you for sharing this with us Paige. From someone who uses food as a comfort and a reward I somewhat understand. Much love.xx
Thanks so much for watching 😊
Thanks for sharing your truth Paige. It really does give others...me permission to share my own. I'm glad you had your mom and bestie to confide in. Joining you in the journey 🙏🏾💛
Thank you for this video. It blessed me. Continued blessings to you!
❤️❤️❤️
I just recognized that’s what I’ve been doing over these past few months. I would buy 3 or 4 bags of chips, popcorn, flavored pretzels and 4 or 5 types of tasty cakes or 1 or 2 types of hunks of individual sliced cake. I had to return to work, put on real clothes and that told the story. I had been stressed and over the last 2 to 3 weeks I’m allowed 1 bag of chips and a sweet. I didn’t think it was binge eating until I saw this video. May God continue to bless you, keep you and comfort you. Agape love

Sending you love ❤️
Thanks for sharing your very personal journey with weight, balance & food.
❤️❤️
God bless you for sharing your story. You are such a blessing to others
Thank you for sharing your journey. It's not always easy to show the vulnerable parts of yourself. I hope you and your flatmate get a chance to do some creative cooking so that your meals are enjoyable, relaxing and fun.
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm currently in this cycle of eating/dieting and I'm not able to get control of it yet. God willing all will get better soon. Stay strong
Sending you love ❤️
@@PaigeMariah same to you
The idea that food carries no morality has helped me so much lately.
And I totally understand what you mean about that phase of entitled eating. I’d say I’m coming out of it right now. Just tonight I was excited to eat chocolate when I got home from work, but once I realized how hungry I was, all I really wanted was some pb and banana on toast 😊😊.
PS Manilife peanut butter is the best peanut butter in the UK!!!
Thanks you for this transparency. I have body dysmorphia as well with PCOS (I wouldn’t wish this on anybody). Black women need these spaces. Sometimes I hate the fact that I am on a “weight loss” journey. My relationship with food is and was still bad a lot due to Pcos. I hid myself especially during the pandemic because I hated my body. I restricted binged, I cried, ect Thank you for this. I will work on this.
So powerful! I relate so much and know how brave you are to be public about this 💕
Thank you for sharing your story because it helps to hear it and put a name to the experience that some of us go through, I know it was not easy but know it helped ❤
Thank you for sharing this- you are a beautiful soul n look great ☺️ You’ve got this 💪🏾
Thank you so much ☺️❤️
Paige very proud of you for sharing your personal story. Your beautiful inside and out.🦋💜🦋💜👏👏
So much love to you Paige! Be encouraged.
I too struggle with body dysmorphia, binge eating and anxiety it’s a terrible combo. I lose weight but something triggers me and boom I can lose and put 20 lbs easily. MyFitnessPal, nikerun, etc are all my vices as well as food. It’s tough I’m in therapy now and I’m trying to be happier.
So happy to hear that you’re taking the steps to break the cycle
Amazing strength!! Thank you for sharing your journey!!! Much love love and prayers ❤️🙏
Never forget you are "I AM's kid" and there are more of us then there are of them.
Paige this is such a wonderful video to share. You are beautiful both inside and out. I've experienced weight extremes. I am still working on my journey with food. It's a blessing to be able to work on ourselves. Bravo and keep up the good work. All the best. Charles :)
Thanks for sharing with us. It took a lot of courage. You’re not alone this video is very relatable.💗
Thanks for sharing this!
😊
and guess what, YOU STILL LOOK TF GOOD! Healthy mind and healthy body. Beautiful

Sending love, hugs, positive vibes and best wishes to you from across the Pond!
Thank you!!! You are a Beautiful Queen
Thank you!!
Very nice beautiful sharing 👍🏻
Thank you!
This was amazing. You did great and thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! ☺️
Hi Paige, I to am on a more balanced eating journey and hope to lose some weight. I will be following you on this journey in hopes to get a different prospective.
Big hug sis, from Switzerland! Im going zrough a similar phase, your not alone….
I'm so proud of you Pooh for owning your truth 🖤
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your videos ❤️
Thanks for sharing Paige! Have you seen Stephanie Buttermore's journey? I think that may be similar to what you're doing
Great Testimony. God is a great resource for the battle of the flesh, supernatural power.
Galatians 5:22-25 💝
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ]gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Eat for nutrition and seek Christ in the ongoing battle.
Philippians 4:13 💪
❤
Take no notice your a fab x
You are fab xx**
Thank you!
❤❤
Yeah...its a Lifestyle change...but you started it by owning it...(alcohol is the sly weight gainer)
And if anyone is your friend and don't understand that Your presence is MORE important then drinking or what not then are they your "friend"? My circle (friend circle, acquaintance circle not so much...there is a BIG difference). Just last evening actually we (my friends and I)went to an awesome open mic of poetry (cranberry on ice was my choice of drink)...
You must be you and if folk can't understand you need to rethink their 'friend' presence in your life..
if ANYONE is bringing you down because of YOUR choice that works for you.......GYIRL.........Next...! Sending you HUGS!!
#blackgirlmagic Great on Purpose!
