- Lyss underwent bariatric surgery, but it wasn't enough. To shed over 200 pounds, she first had to overcome a lifetime of poor eating habits.

For Lyss Remaly, weight was always an issue. "I was definitely that cute baby who looked like I had rubber bands on my wrists and arms," she says. "It's just not as attractive when you're 18."
At age 4, Lyss was already seeing a nutritionist for her diet and health issues. Family history played a role, but so did eating habits. "As much as I want to blame genetics, it's not like I helped the situation any," she says. "Yes my dad is a bigger guy, and all five of us kids are bigger, but I was also a closet eater. I hid what I ate-I'd hit the drive-thru and maybe eat four Whoppers and fries in my car before going home for dinner. I kept that horrible behavior going for years."
For years, the actress, jokester, and self-proclaimed funny girl hid behind jokes and her vivacious personality, until an embarrassing wake-up call forced Lyss to listen to her body.
This is Lyss' story.

It's nice to see someone who had a wonderful childhood.
I know right but I guess nothing is perfect wither coming from a great childhood or a broken home
Very inspirational and I know this will inspire and motivate others, thank you for sharing your journey, god bless you
She was a cute little girl pudgy like that loil.
While traumatic childhoods typically are a precursor for self harm, suicidal ideation and addiction... That isn't always the case. Some people are just born with mental illness, self loathing and addictive personalities.
Rare indeed ... or ... she's repressing it out if learned fear of the repercussions. We know no one until we co exist with them, words mean nothing.
Love that quote. “Doesn’t matter how much you love your body if you’re ruining it from the inside out.”
Agreed, that quote needs to be pushed towards the fat acceptance movement
@@Friddle for sure 🔥
I think the 'I hated running, OBVIOUSLY, unless, you know, I was being chased' hit hardest for me. That lady's very funny.
She was a cute baby lol.
@@Friddle That's an oxymoron from a moron. You don't get fat on veggies and cardio.
When your mom said, “tell me some more,” I flashed back to my mom laughing when she found out I was self injuring at 9 years old and laughing when she was told I had an eating disorder at 14 and how she would rarely show up for me. I think your mom is amazing, and so are you.
Omg maybe we have the same mom
I'm sorry you went through that. You didn't deserve it ❤❤❤
I wasn't just weight loss you went through it was mental growth
When she said “if you have a pile of tools in front you they’re not gonna build you a house” got me! Really got me. I’m gonna get my life back!
Very wise quote. Go go, show must go on!
How are you doing Pamela? I’ve been 5 months into the journey. It’s clicking, it’s finally clicking. I’m learning and discovering new desires that were hidden under grief, loneliness and fear.
Anyway, hope you’re doing well? 🇦🇺🌷
Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. You will always be moving forward to your goals.
@@MythOfMe i feel what you are saying. At 37 it actually clicked. I really know what you mean 💚
Beatrix Kiddo 🙏🏻🥰🌷
You can tell that she really did have a wonderful childhood because of all the video footage her parents took of her.
""there is no magic pill. you have to work EVERY single day. Just like an alcoholic will have to work hard EVERY SINGLE DAY to not have one drink". that really hit for me. i've had bad eating habits and been a bit overweight, i've suffered from an eating disorder for a few years now and i still have to work hard every. single. day.
If you're suffering from something, there is always help out there. But YOU are going to have to be the one who does it.
Lauren Claire So true. My addiction is sugar. I’m 56 years old and I’ve used it my most of my life to fill a void. I’m now aware of why I eat sugary treats. I Lost 70 pounds and reversed my type 2 diabetes by giving up sugar. I didn’t want to get on medication. I reversed it in 3 months.
I went through a healing period in 2018 2019, releasing past trauma and I started eating sugar again, I can’t just stop at one! I work hard to control it every single day!!
2020 is my comeback!! Today is 1/7/20 and I’m setting intentions and I’m already seeing inches lost. 😊
LovinDebs Fit50s I’m so sure you’ll be doing great! 👍🏻😀
Cam Bar Thank you! 😊
I love that her parents are so supportive. It's beautiful 😍😍
And why she was in that situation in the 1st place
@@jessicaj8564 exactly! her parents should have stepped in LONG before!!!!
As a toddler, THEY were feeding her.
@@adorable3817 Right! Brother was a chubby kid too!
Not so supportive, they were the adults and let her lost in that situation.
Why did the parents let her eat all this junk food when she was only a kid in the first place? In the Netherlands having a morbidly obese child is considered child abuse and parents have to comply with enforcing a diet and taking their children for regular exercise sessions, otherwise they risk having their child placed in a foster family.
This made me cry. I feel you girl. Now, I'm in my 3rd week of doing exercise. For those who are reading this, you can do it! Be strong and stay motivated. We can achieve our weight goals, be healthy and happy!
remember it takes steriods to be able to step on stage like her .. just surgery wont do it alone. hormones build muscle!
Thank you. I need this reminder ❤

Wow, that is your choice 😞😞😞😞😞
Lol, same
Unfortunately kind of relatable.
Same

I’m proud of you! I’m on a journey myself. I weighed in at 335lbs 2 months ago. I’m now 290lbs. My goal is 250lbs and enter into a strongman competition. This is the first time seeing the scale below 330 in about 9 years.
Anyone can achieve your goals! You just gotta get off the couch and bust ASS!
Much love y’all!
Keep it up!!!
Well done! I pray you are doing well now too :)
Congratulations
I am crying watching this. I had my surgery 5 months ago, and I'm down 68 pounds. I am so very thankful for your words of encouragement. I needed to see & hear this today. Thank you❤
thats great i am proud of you!! how are you today?
How are you doing now a year later?
How has it gone for you?
How are you now😄
Im thinking to do the surgery ... How r u doing now ?does it worth to go through this
Bodybuilding is not a sport it's a way of life and I'm really glad u realized that
I love that she had first overcome most of her psychological issues before taking on the physical. Not saying it has to happen in that order, but if you don't get your head straight a major body transformation is gonna be a lot harder.
I agree , now that I am finally with a decent therapist I can deal with my diet and exercise and stop binge eating
Agreed!!
I don’t think she overcame her psychologists issues....she just switched addictions....a journey from compulsive eating to compulsive working out.
I have 2 friends that did this surgery and they still have the same psychological problem that caused being so obese.
They are not happy, even after losing so much weight. One is an alcoholic now, their coping mechanism is just not healthy. From one addiction to another. Another friend “had”anorexia and is addicted to exercising. Some addictions are not as bad as others, but it’s still the same
However, more money tackling the physical first helps psychological issues melt away. Exercise = endorphins. IRS just having motivation to start that's so hard.
Some of the comments on this video are negative and disgusting. Congrats to her. Great testimony.
Theresa Colton no one commented negative, every single comment is appreciations
Jaime Willow was negative, saying she took the easy road by having surgery. I don't believe in surgery, but I believe some people would not have been able to change their lives without it
She actually said the surgery wasn't that effective and it clicked that it was her that had to change.
" She said I could love my hips, thighs, and pies" wow. That spoke to me. She also said " You can't truly love yourself and be killing yourself on the inside." wow profound
I am sitting here with a BMI of 39, (lady) age 57, two types of arthritis, sleep apnea, and just came from my first Bariatric appt. An RN for 35 years!! Caring for everyone but me. After trying everything to lose weight, I am going to have a gastric sleeve. I am the Mother of 2 grown kids. Both have beautful physiques, and each have been competing in shows. It is my turn to be an athlete again. I just happened to see this video. I cried with you and your Mom.
This story touched my life. I know I can lose the weight!
Fasha Moore so it's been 10 months since you posted your comment about losing weight and I want to know if you ever lost a pound at least
Well that was fucking ignorant! what you could and should have said is
Fasha, I also was inspired I am doing this...... I have lost this..... I joined XX support pages on FB ect.
You Jose are the problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fasha Moore I know u can do it too u can do what u want if u believe
You can do it. Go girl
I believe in you I want to too
I love this story. People think surgery is the easy way out. This story sheds light on the truth. First off, surgery only decreases the size of your stomach. It does nothing for your eating habits or your mental health. Which is why weight loss result variations are so vast. You see some people lose so much and some lose a little. Others gain half of it back. It’s not a magic pill! Like she said. That’s so true. I had the gastric sleeve. I was not obese all my life. I was a yo-yo dieter so I was somewhat slightly overweight and even sometimes normal weight until I had kids 3 of them and I hit 350 almost. I was in denial due to my pear shape and my culture supports bigger women. But I found that even though I didn’t have any health issues, I couldn’t walk for long, I couldn’t stand, I was in severe pain daily. No position was comfortable. After the sleeve I lost over 175 pounds. I am now 160. Muscular and fit.
Losing the weight took complete discipline and a lifetime change and modifications to my eating habits. I cut out processed foods and sugars completely from my diet. It’s been a couple years now. No sugars. I found sugar free alternatives. I eat proteins, good fats, veggies, very little fruits and a few starches. I work out religiously 4 days a week. And that’s how the weight has stayed off.
The truth is unless you address your food addictions, your bad health and eating habits, you will not lose much weight with surgery. The surgery takes off the first 50-70 pounds and the the real work begins. Not everyone can be successful on this diet. I’ve lost over 90 % of my excess weight. It takes dedication, consistency and hard work. But I couldn’t have done it without my gastric sleeve and God. Anyways great story.
Mrs. W God bless you both. I’m working on my eating habits but I want the surgery.
So true! Sadly, two of my sisters have had the surgery and neither have reached a healthy weight. One of them has maintained some of her loss, though she's still a long way off. The other gained all her's back. It's been 4 years since their surgeries. They absolutely need to change the problem that causes their weight, though I don't know they will. I've always tried to maintain a good weight and health, so I'm thankful I'm not in that situation; though I have to work hard to keep from gaining too much, as well. I wish I could give them my determination, but sadly I can't. Thet have to be willing and have that determination for themselves.
God prepares to save you when you prepare to save yourself.x
Mrs. W nice of you for being honest about your surgery
It’s a tool.
My eyes focused on the words on the list “stop eating when I’m bored” Great
Definitely true. That was my list too and yes I overcame it now!
@@luuvannguyen thats great! I know it's not easy haha :)
Heh. I forget to eat for days on end when i'm bored. Wanna trade?
Thank you for your sharing your story. I had bariatric surgery 4 years ago. People judge as if the surgery sucked up off your fat and you are all of a sudden thin. You said it perfectly; it is a daily challenge and a choice as to what to put in your mouth. I became a vegan which is a hard transition but kept looking for the strength to exercise. You have given me that. Thank you! I will go back to my exercise program with a vengeance and remember you when I don't want to wake up in the morning. As women we must be there to support each other. Wish you the best!!
the weight was the least of her problems. she has endured a lot of negativity. good for her to make it out of it.
Yeah, She probably wouldn't have gotten as large as she did if she hadn't been bullied. Cause when you eat it gives you happy endorphins. Which we get addicted to
You have 199 likes and I made it 200 😂
The weight was a symptom, but also a cause. It wasn't the least of her problems, it was a big deal for her, and changing that meant changing everything else. Great story.
You are an absolutely beautiful human, inside and out. Around 5 years ago I was at my heaviest at 176lbs. Doesn't sound overly huge, but I'm only 4'11. I was MASSIVE. I cut calories to 1000 a day and worked out twice a day. I dropped 56lbs and decided I was now the kind of person who could eat anything and not put on weight. How wrong I was. The weight piled back on and I'm now 163lbs after being a lazy, greedy pig for the last couple of years. I'm back at the gym and this time I'm eating well. Really well. The weight is slowly coming off again and I feel great. The key is sustainability, not quick results. I know this now. After watching this video, even though I don't know you I feel IMMENSELY proud of you. I have been the girl who was so big it held her back. I could hear comments in the street and feel the looks from people. All it made me want to do was bury my face in a burger because that was my comfort zone. For the last 15 years or so, ever since I was a teenager, I've been big. No more. I am determined, but your story has made me BELIEVE. You are truly one in a million. X
Hi! A youtuber who really helps me gain knowledge of weight loss is Natacha Océane. Very very positive, fun and has a healthy relationship with food :)
Warlywarluts
Im wondering how have you been doing now? Were you able to get fit again? I need to know cos im losing hope...
Warlywarluts How is it going? Please share your journey with us. I’m 5 months in on my get healthy plan and it really is just one day at a time.
Did your heels in and Do It! It is only your LIFE you are talking about! I have struggled with being heavy most of my life, been on many diets, lost weight and put it back plus more.However, the last 8 mos, I have support in my life that I never had before, a sister, who is my number one fan! I read a book by Jen Sincero..called YOU ARE A BADASS! ..the yellow book..it really clicked with me..I am now down 41 lbs, have 10 more to go..am a totally confident, different person..LOVE my new self and life! You CAN do this, but only you CAN do it!YOU are worth it! Wishing you the very best on your success!! read Jen's book ! hugs
NEVER cut to 1000kcal a day for too long , you're gonna slow your metabolism and will get fucked by it. cut to 1500 EXTREME MINIMUM.
Bcoz your daily calories will drop to around 1300 kcal a day and when you get back to eat "normaly" 2000+- kcal it will not go back to there, will take several MONTH and you gain weight till your daily calories get normalize.
good lock with your weight loss.
Pretty freaking amazing and inspirational story, thank you for sharing it. As a father with an overweight daughter, I cried all the way throughout the video but it made me realize that I must not lose my faith, she is doing amazing right now, she seems to be focused on positives in her life and I hope she continues that positive journey and I will be at her side every step of the way. Once again, thank you so much, I am sure it was very difficult at times but you didn't give up, but on the other hand, if it was easy, there wouldn't be overweight people in the world. Thank you.
Well, clearly this girl's parents thought that love and acceptance were the answer. When the REAL ANSWER (for an overweight child) is gaining an understanding of food and the body. Hopefully you are able to offer your precious daughter both.
Consistency and mindset is everything 💯💯💯
It's so nice to see someone who understands, being fat your whole life... I was 350+ at 5"3, finally hitting 150lbs was the most uplifting moment knowing I had finally done it. Now I'm working towards the same goal at 145lbs not body building but to get to 120 and tone up and live a fit life. We can do it, no matter where you're starting from, it's possible! You can meet your goals. You just have to do it, You dont need a gym, or a trainer, or surgery you just need the will to do it. I'm living proof of that, and so is she. :)
Thank you for sharing this. I am proud of you. My daughter is an amazing, beautiful, funny talented 16-year-old young woman. She is also a large girl. I am going to help her if she wants to put more energy into fitness. I will talk to her tonight.
Thomas Hall - Weight loss Hypnosis, that has helped me so much! I was a big binger, I have hormonal probs, look into that, that can be a reason, ACV with water and a straw in the morning and before meals helps so much, sorts out the sugar surges if it is hormonal!
ALEXIS GILMETE you mean she's a fat girl
Miss She yeah biking is fun for two or three miles but once you go longer it won't be much fun for a heavy person
Fitness makes you feel good and even better when you lose weight
Obesity is hormonal. It isn’t just calories or level of activity.
Get her basal insulin levels tested, that would be my starting point honestly
It's painful and inspirational to hear someone else's story that sounds so much like mine. I haven't had the surgery yet, but this video is going to be my inspiration forever.
"It doesn't matter how much you love your body, if you are ruining it from the inside out"
her words should make body-positivity people reconsider.
Exactly what I thought, it's quite sad yet disturbing seeing these people support unhealthy lifestyles.
The economy at large promotes unhealthy lifestyles. Clearly, hating ones body isn't the solution. Recognizing that what's available to eat isn't goodto eat is key.
I pray this helps me reconsider my unhealthy lifestyle and eat like I love myself.
I congratulate you. I only lost 107. From 287 to 180. I went to a hypnotherapist and it worked wonders.
Harvey Holloway How does a hypnotherapist treatment work?
"I only lost 107." Um, that's amazing, sir. I celebrate you!
Harvey Holloway ONLY!?! uh i call that freakin AMAZING!!!!
Congratulations. 🙌🏾
Thats great! You have a big reason to be proud🙌🏻
She transformed like a butterfly
She turned from caterpillar to a bull. Strong women are hot af...
I love this video. I was very fat growing up and everyone thought I’d be a big boy when I grew up and then I became addicted to drugs and lost a lot of weight and loved having a six pack so when I gave up drugs I started lifting weights and dieting and I looked super good but I picked up a new addiction which was cutting myself. I cut alllllll over my body where I don’t like how I look!!! So basically my whole body!!!! Now I have massive scars everywhere and it stops me from being able to take my shirt off anywhere!!! It gets better!!!! I promise! Keep fighting cause you are you and you are perfect in so many ways!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
💙💙💙💙💙💙
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I truly hope you are doing better
@@christinahall8124 thank you!!
Lyss, if you're reading this, I just wanted to tell you that you are a beautiful person, inside and out. There's no escaping our deepest, darkest fears and struggles, and exercising to get in shape taught me that it's a way for us to confront those fears, accept our flaws, and strive to sculpt the best versions of ourselves through hard work and dedication. I'm so happy for you, and pray you'll keep moving forward.
I first thought that this was some sort of infomercial!! But,, I was completely wrong. Wow such an amazing story!! Alyssa if you're reading these posts. You have such an amazing heart! You have so much love and strength. Congratulations Girl!!
she's very lucky to have a family like that, I envy her for that,.
Family is important, but not necessary,... you can do it!
I actually think her family enabled her, there's got to be a balance and I don't think that happened there.
Iluv Merengue What do you mean specifically? The woman actually said she was loved and pay attention. The videos from infancy show a fat girl. Some people do have to work at not being fat and it is NOT always a family issue that is a dangerous liberal mentality.
Me too.
I envy her too 💗 my family is toxic and they are one of the reasons why I'm still fat
I’m so thankful for your story. I can’t have surgery but I’ve lost 50lbs and am stuck. I realize it’s because I’m justifying what I eat. I have watched so many documentaries and shows on weight loss and YOURS is the most honest and inspiring for me. Thank you for giving me my “click” moment.
I'm so very glad that you are still around, Alyssa. You are a wonderful woman and to go through the pain of sharing your story with others is so very kind, loving, and wonderful of you. I really can relate to your story and have been there. Your message is so very helpful. Thank you and God bless you.
“Put on my bra myself from the back “ Gotta love this chick!!!! What an inspiring story!
True and inspiring words. I also feel that a lot of these things these days saying love your "curves" is a ticket to an excuse to stay overweight.
I’m not skinny I’m not fat either, but one thing I’m not happy with how my body looks so I’m going to change it, you guys on the journey with me?:))
I hope you still are I'm in my second year!! 💪💪
Yess
your not alone!!
Crying right now. This is one of the most amazing transformations I've ever seen. I lost 60 pounds from 7th grade to 8th over the summer. The feeling was unexplainable. I've been there and it was a lot of work. I was determined to do it and I did. It is possible for anyone. You look incredible and you are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Sorry but I died when she started playing those flutes
Those weren’t “flutes” they were recorders..
They were recorders, but same! 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
She has crazy eyes.
@@carolineriney6219 No they were baby flutes
Why would anyone give this video a thumbs down?!?!
Self serving arrogance
Probably because she is rich and can afford the Bariatric surgery and all the skin surgeries. I am looking for a weight loss guide for poor people. I like her story but she had access to a gym, surgery and she had support.
@@mugglescakesniffer3943 poor way....cut calories, weights & dedication 👍🏾😉. It's a marathon not a sprint😏
That was Tess Holliday and her friends from NAAFA 😂😂😂.
Muggles Cake Sniffer but that doesn’t mean You have to dislike it. She’s just sharing HER story with her personal experiences and resources.
Her eyes! Omg! So amazing that she was open about self harm 💜 people always think they're the only one and it's so hard to talk about. It really helps to know that she got through it and blossomed 💜💜💜
What an inspirational young lady, made me cry. Im 47 yrs old and always been chuncky, still am. I know I need to better myself, do it for my health and my kids. Its time.
Bravo! i had duodenal switch surgery in 2008 shortly after my 46th birthday. i wish I would've done it when i was a younger woman. you look fabulous! i spent my whole life with people telling me " your so beautiful if only you were thin"
well at 46 years old i finally realized #145 and I have maintained it for 9 years now. shedding #170 was the best thing I ever did for myself.
thank you for sharing your story. you are an amazing and beautiful young woman.
Can I just say that your recorder cover of ‘Mary had a Little Lamb’ is one of the most iconic things I’ve ever seen 😂💗
But on a more serious note, well done on your journey and transformation, you are a beautiful being even before your transformation! I’m happy you decided to put your health first 🥰
This is by far the most touching video I've ever watched. She is so honest and many people probably have went through the same thing. For those of you going through the same thing, there is hope. There is that light at the end of the tunnel. Stay positive and believe that God will guide you.
I appreciate your honesty and admire your success! May I propose that you write about your journey in a book? What you lived through and how you came out of your pain can help a lot of people, especially the younger generation! Yes, share your story because I truly believe that it can change lives for the better! With love from The Pacific Northwest ❤️
Everyone talks about "you can lose weight on your own." Let's talk about how to keep the weight off. You never hear people talk about this, only about losing weight.
Kimba Wiggins this is a no brainer. If you build an exercise routine and good eating habits throughout the whole journey, *you have to keep them* . A weight loss journey is an educational process. You gotta learn how to discipline yourself and you have to retain what you've learned for the rest of your life.
RsLeonardo1 why u have to call her an idiot . What's wrong w u?
RsLeonardo1 are you a troll? she asked a perfectly valid question. for many, this is the most difficult part. also, the use of word diet by you in this way will actually put people off wanting to keep the weight off. diet simply means a particular way of eating, it can be a good or a bad one. telling someone to simply DIET doesn't really contribute anything and carries a negative connotation.
for some people, being overweight may be just an incident and it will be very easy for them to get fit and healthy again. For others, who have been overweight for a big part of their lives, it is a coping mechanism with some underlying issues that are harder to deal with that the weight itself. imagine someone was overweight for 15 years, so they were fighting depression for 15 years. even if they loose weight in a year, it is impossible for them to come back from depression in the same amount of time. I have never been truly overweight because I don't want to just dream about being fit, I want to be fit in reality. But come on RSLeonardo1, have some empathy. Life isn't just black and white.
I personally believe that one needs to get to the root as to why they over/under eat. An eating disorder most likely does not stem from one just loving food to the point of such excess. Once you learn to heal your child within ( for an eating disorder usually starts in childhood), and get out of denial as too why you abuse yourself to cope ( I did this through intensive therapy and art), the road to maintaining a healthy lifestyle and weight is promising. Also...note I said "healthy lifestyle"...for it takes alot more change than just diet and exercise. I wish the best for you...God bless you on your journey!
rude and wrong
She’s extremely beautiful!!
EmmaSingsSometimes nah
@Kate M.hunter why are you guys so mean? I think shes beautiful too! seriously
Wow
She is very pretty.
Quazi Roberts very well spoken
Beautiful face. Not even being overweight as a young child can hide the beauty of your face. I like how you focused on developing a good heart- so much more important than looks.
Wow 5 years!!! That is so amazing and shows that there is no magic cure. They can create them but hard work trumps them all. So inspiring! Thank you. 👍💯💗
I know how she feels! At my heaviest I was 325. Doctors told me I wouldn't make it to my 40th birthday. I found a amazing Dr. in Raleigh NC the only one that would perform a weight loss surgery called the duodenal switch. I lost 146 pounds total and now I plan to hit the gym harder than ever. Thanks for posting this
Between those gorgeous hazel eyes and those dimples not to mention your intelligence you are powerful!
Brilliantly described her real beauty.
Wow!! Thanks for sharing your story!! I’m so proud of you that 1) You had the courage to ask your counselor for help and 2) You achieved the goals that you set out to do-you’re very determined and very strong! Bless you!! We’re fortunate that you are present today and alive to tell your story!! You sharing your story could save so many lives!! Thank you!!
respect for going to the gym and working it out yourself!! i did that too, but most take a PT before they try themselves.... shows sheer determination!!! So much respect for this lady!!! love from Prague!
For those who believe...everything is possible. God bless you!!! Keep it up!
She's a beautiful person with an amazing supporting family god bless you
What a truly inspiring story Lyss, amazing job and I hope that this video shows people out there that no matter what the situation you're in, things can always be done to fix it.
wow she touched my soul ❤️ as someone who has struggled and got weight loss surgery and then realized omg it isn't the magic pill everyone says it is. thankful she's shedding light on this huge issue.
You are lucky, you can still go home and feel safe. My mom is the one calling me fat, ugly and everything. It makes me feel worthless and even now, so many years after I still cannot open to people. My mom is nice to everyone so no one really believes me when I try to get help. I finally lost 80+ pounds and my mom started saying I am too thin [Asian 5'2" @ 132 pounds] and kept on making food, buying snacks and putting them in front of me. I don't want to say this but I think she is a horrible person....
Check the subreddit, raisedbynarcissists. www.reddit.com/r/raisedbynarcissists/ Some parents are just irredeemable, and sometimes you just have to learn to put them aside and live your own life.
I am so sorry that you have had to go through this. How much it must hurt. No one should be verbally abused by their parents, but sadly this happens a lot. Please know that you are worthy of love and respect. When people are cruel and criticize, it demonstrates their failings, not yours.
CCC Val Sorry you having to live though this..... Nothing is wrong with admitting what type of person she is. You've noticed a pattern and you're not crazy or blind. The point is to try to limit the time spent with her because of the person she forces you to be when she's around. Keep working on you because you can only change your response to her. You can't change her....
CCC Val if you're of legal age just move out. And don't respond or react to her craziness. My mom and I butted heads a lot. That is why I moved out at 18. But I just stopped responding and would chg the subject when she would say something off the wall and didnt acknowledge what she said. Noticed we stopped arguing and actually became closer.
CCC Val I understand how you feel :-( message me anytime . I'm Trish
This is the most inspiring story I have seen in my life
God bless her. She's a beautiful person. I can relate to her.
"this is how my life was gonna be i had to find a way to be ok with that" this is so much more important than people realive. EVERY single human being goes through that exact stage of development.
Man how do people have the will power to do things like that. If I were that big I would jus gave up on life and never have the motivation to even bother with gym. huge respect 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻😘
Damn onions.... someone cutting onions in here...
omg thank u for making me laugh cause somebody was cutting them here also
stupid onions 😢😢
LOL!!!!!
I know! I think they snuck in my place to cut onions too!.dang onion ninjas!
16:21 I dare anyone to not cry from that point :'(
i resonate with your story so much! i had a wonderful childhood, but was a miserable girl trapped in a fat body for most of my adolescent life. i found fitness and have reclaimed my body and am going on to compete in my first fitness comp in october. you are a champion! every day we fight for our bodies and our health. well done, you!
How did it go?
Very inspirational! I had RNY in 2003, just celebrated 19 years post op on 2/11/2022, I have kept off my 100lbs, and I now coach Pre & Post WLS clients and do exactly what you said, "there is no magic pill!" We must start with Self-Love and go from there. Thank you for your vulnerability, it evoked a lot of raw emotion for me. I will never foget or regret!
This is one of the best transformation stories on TH-cam. You are amazing!
She was beautiful the whole time. Love her story
Beautiful story. I’m so happy for you. You’re an inspiration to us all.
Love from Canada. You look amazing! ♥️👏👏👏🇨🇦
Loretta Sophia Happens. Happens. Bye. Thanks
Your testimony is so strong, beautiful and powerful for so many young girls, and women struggling with self doubt. I’m so glad that you found your way and that you’re still here! Thank you so much for this 🙌🏾💐👏🏾🎉
What an amazing story! I´ve been working as a personal trainer for 15 years and I gotta say you are amazing!! Much respect and love...
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I cried so much watching this. I'm that 300lb girl now and I lost hope and I was settling. I'm not going to now, I wanna be brave and believe in myself again. Thank you for showing me I can too. I dont feel alone anymore.
Great victory story... so many people suffer in silence. She has a great personality, just needed to break the emotional eating addiction. She did great, an overcomer. Her skin shrunk without flab too, very inspirational
I wonder if the weightlifting helped with avoiding the loose skin surgeries 🤔
She looks amazing 😍
Alexandra Sundeen I was searching comments to see if anyone knew. I’ve lost a lot of weight and I’m beyond miserable, yet can’t afford skin removal.
@@vestaash680 hy! I don't know if you have heard of subliminals or if you believe in them or not.. but you should try listening to them they work like magic
Unfortunately it’s down to you’re genetics. There is no way to avoid extra skin. Some people are very lucky and others are not. It seems like it’s only surgery. That being said, it will always be more beneficial to get yourself in shape despite these fears. Nothing compares to that feeling of mobility and health when you’ve lost weight. Loved ones around you will never judge or make you feel awful because of excessive skin, they will be proud and support what you’ve achieved and the confidence that you have.
@@vestaash680 have you researched fasting? It helps so much with loose skin. And like Muskan said look into either subliminals or visualization. Jon Gabriel has a really great visualization book. He lost 220lbs and has no loose skin. Good luck to you.
@@vestaash680 Why are people so worried about loose skins?! THEY ARE YOUR BATTLE SCARS! But if you are young and still have loose skin from an amazing weight loss journey, embrace yourself and treat those bits of yourself with respect.
Thanks for the inspiration beautiful soul!

Thank you so much for being absolutely honest about your life and your struggles. You are an inspiration
I am so damn proud of you Lyss!!! Truly an inspiration. You brought me tears of sorrow and tears of joy!
Well done lady, not only for making it, but for making your whole story public. There is no doubt that it will help other men and women out there looking for 'A' solution.
In the end of the day, this is about will power and being truthful to yourself, whether you get the assistance of someone else to go through the whole process.
So again, you deserve a big 🙏for achieving a 180° move and choosing living your life in a healthy way!
ok I do have to get off my fat ass and work it.
Pseudonorm Same here. Gotta put the work in at this point. Had the surgery 4 years ago, lost 80lbs, stopped on a dime. Even with the surgery, eventually you gotta put the work in. I woke up today and told my self "it's time"
psychcjs Good on ya 😊

Lorelai me too
wow touching i dont know her but im proud of her.
Really motivational tearjerker. Lots of love and hugs to you and all those bullied girls for being what they are. This story touched all aspects of life. A craving child, a bullied teen, self motivated girl, a confident lady who tight slapped everyone at the end. Worth making a motivational movie. Hats off to your patience and temperament.
Wow!! What a beautiful inspiration! I know it must've seemed impossible. One step in front of the other...lifting 5 more lbs from last time!! Amazing perseverance! I lost 120lbs!! Working on strength now.
YOU SHOULD BE SO PROUD❣
this story is so beautiful god damn :'( you go girl
you were so lucky with your parents some of us never get the unconditional love x
s r. It's her parents' fault that she got to that point.
@@sebinachurchill4246 why?
Wow, this is one of the most touching videos I've ever seen!. Thank you so much for telling us your marvelous story. I'm so inspired by you. From Chile
I've lost over 220lbs without surgery in 4 years, I had setbacks but I haven't given up! I gave up twice before due to fear, I got made fun of in high school for doing track/sports/weightlifting. I gained 300lbs after high school giving up on myself because I didn't have any confidence/esteem. It's taken me 19 years to get this far, I have an amazing support system with my husband who goes to the gym with me often when he isn't working, I got into wrestling school and there is no stopping me now!
Its sad that most of the time we have to go through a tragedy or really bad situations in order to realize that we need to change. Im so happy for you getting through everything and all the bullying to get to where you are today. And to everyone start before its too late.
These are really well-produced videos....kudos to bodybuilding.com....and congrats to Lyss, my situation isn't as extreme but I can empathize.
You are absolutely amazing. Your story touched my heart. We have different journeys, but yours inspired me.
It brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful inspirational story. There’s nothing like weight training, i mean it gives anyone who makes this discipline part of their daily routine: Their health, strength and life back.
She has always been pretty.
And now shes healthy and happy🙌🏻 and still beautiful as hell 😄
I think so too
She wasn't pretty. Now she is. Because she's healthy.
adabekeable Yes, and now she prettier.
If your referring to the beauty on the inside then yes i agree she always had that, but saying her outward appearance is pretty was probably the type of encouragement that let her justify being overweight and unhealthy.
Love love love this. Bless your mom for the support! I was an emotional eater and grew up poor... so food was a big deal. Great job on all of your hard work💕
You are, and always have been, a gorgeous girl - you were beautiful at 350 lbs. and you are beautiful at 150 lbs. Congratulations on your journey. Always remember, your weight does not define you as a person. It is a kind & gentle spirit that makes a truly beautiful person.
Such an inspiring story, tears rolled out of my heart, it's a great achievement what she did, and i wish her good health and happiness.
She's so pretty! Congrats on your transformation girlie! You've worked so hard.❤
Damn... this was really moving for me. I could totally relate to her and her eating habits and I am a Guy... Very inspiring!
Wow! this is an amazing story! I'm so much that can't see the screen as I write this,Lyss you have inspired me beyond measure. I've reached a moment in my life where I'm trying to change too. You've laid out a great blue print for anyone who wants to change anything in their lives. I'm using yours . Lusaka I wish you continued success,keep on keepin on.
I am very happy for you. Watching this opened up some old wounds. I got to 250 and lost it without surgery (that was the easy route, can’t imagine going through the surgery). We differ in that I am an introvert but we grew up with similar school situations. I had my parents making me feel less then adequate, put the fork down, etc. Every day getting on the bus, hey here comes elephant. I made the decision to lose the weight in my early 40s. I developed the courage to then get out of a toxic marriage. We have a lot of parallel experiences, but some different outlooks afterwords. I learned that people can’t be trusted, can’t be asked for help. You want out of your crap pile, get up and take a shower and move forward. There isn’t going to be hand there to help you up so figure it out. My world is still as lonely, I am just healthier and fun-sized rather than Sam’s industrial sized 😀. I hope to someday find a way to trust people.
