It’s terrible when doctors have no professionalism or bedside matter. They don’t realize how impactful their words are. My mom once cussed at my doctor for body shaming me as a child.
You are a breath of fresh air. I love your videos! And I try to have "age neutrality." I'm not getting any younger, but I don't knock myself out trying to fight off the aging process. I look good. I take care of myself. But I am not going to be going under the knife or buying clothes from Forever 21 to try to pretend that I'm something that I'm not.
You go, woman!!! And I am so glad I learned a new term today - body neutrality. I will put it into practice in my own life AND with my caseload of clients. Cheers!
Thank you so much for this Jacy. I really love your transparency and honesty on this channel. This is why you are my favourite TH-camr! You don't make anything fake, or pretend that you are a perfect person. I can definitely relate to you, everything you say is so inspiring and you have such a fun, genuine, and positive personality. Thank you, your video made my day! :)
Love your honesty and transparency!! 😊I also struggled with my body image when I was young where I was teased for being way too skinny, I used to eat myself sick to gain weight until the point it landed me in the hospital! But like you the negative self talk does get to you and you have to try not too listen to it! Thank you for sharing your story! 🙏
I’m so sorry to hear about your struggles 😓 it’s truly crazy how we internalize some of those comments and become our own worst bullies! I’m actively working towards being kinder to myself, and I hope you are too ❤️🤗
@@JacyErin Yes the mind can play with your emotions! The one thing that gave me balance was learning to be grateful. Grateful that I am heathy enough to move, see, and hear. Some people cannot do those small things that we take for granted. But like you said I believe that we will always struggle with our body image in some shape or form, but if we come at from a more grateful and positive angle it won't be so stressful on our emotions.! Just my little opinion lol🙂
Weight watchers is meant to make you self aware of your food choices. I appreciate being able to check how many points are in something and learning to substitute it for a better choice. Essentially it tricks you into eating healthier which eventually leads to you looking more fit ( because I walk 30 minutes every day and use my points on healthy filling options plus lower calorie desserts). I recommend it - it’s the best most successful “diet” - really it’s a nutritional lifestyle - that I’ve ever been on
I really appreciate you making this video🖤I relate more than you know.....its so important to talk about theses issues.....ur awesome and beautiful!!🖤we need to speak to ourselves kindly...I've struggled with these issues all my life!!!!! That Dr needs a slap!!!!💯💜💜💜thank you so much.....really touched me that u are so open and vulnerable with us in this video 🙏ur a kind and beautiful soul Jacey x
Hey Jaci! Thanks again for another great video. I think I find you so engaging because your authenticity and ability to be genuine and open is so evident. I like the idea of body neutrality. I think that’s definitely a mindset I would benefit greatly from adopting! I just recently started working out again and am trying to not be too hard on myself since I have lost a lot of strength during my fitness hiatus. And I definitely notice that the cleaner I eat, the better I feel and my body feels much more capable of doing more difficult tasks. Thanks for being transparent with us and telling us your story. It helps to hear what you’ve gone through and the ebbs and flow of it all.
That’s incredible to hear! It’s like once I stopped thinking about how my body looked, I actually noticed what food gave me energy or made me feel better. And that’s so much more important than what I see in the mirror! I’m happy you were able to resonate with some of the topics, and I encourage you to do what works best for loving yourself 🥰
Good on you for sharing this. You're going to save someone the torment you lived through by saying; "Hey, genetics is a roll of the dice. Don't let others define what is good for you. No one gets to define what 'look' is right for you." I think you're seriously HOT myself but I have always loved a smart pair of eyes. I was the opposite, a skinny little guy with no meat on my bones until I turned 32. 5'6" @ 105 lb forever on a guy never worked out as 'Manly'. Keep it up.
Your sooo beautiful on the inside and out! I too have struggled with body image. My biggest struggles has been not liking my arm hair though 😅 I’ve hid them in long sleeve shirts. I’ve day dreamed of waxing/shaving them. I blamed them for being single or worried my boyfriend won’t think I’m pretty. But now I’ve realized I’m the only one who cares. I’m working on caring less :) This Bible verse helps me; maybe it will help someone else! Psalm 139:13-14 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
First off, Jacy, you look incredibly cute. Secondly, I had the opposite problem of being the little, scrawny runt, with “half pint” being my childhood nickname, my friends’ Jewish and Italian mothers practically force-feeding me food. Friends gave me fishing weights so that I would pass the 90 lb. min weigh-in for the football league in which my friends played, even though I topped off at 78 lbs on my 4’8” frame at the time, when I was 10 yrs. old. Third, I am only 5’6.5” now and have resigned myself to the fact that I will never be a matinee idol.
I grew up being chubby, extremely socially awkward, gangly, and nerdy. I developed a mantra at the ridiculously early age of ten. (Most children did not even know the meaning of the word.) "Never put yourself down in life. The rest of the world will do that for you!" I had always been funny. I was kind. I had many friends. I was smart. I was a dreamer. I had hobbies. I was as fast as the wind and in the body of a plump bull. My only true failing was a lack of contentment in being me. The throwback picture was adorable. I look at old photos of myself and see the infinite wonder of the potential of time. I have lived for a bit over half a century now. I am still content. I am not as fast. I never let go of my mantra.
A pediatrician goes out of his way to insult a young girl going through puberty? It's like he doesn't have any sense of the psyche of children. He could have encouraged you to become healthier but insulting you was his choice. He added to your stress. I've had people say stupid s__t like that to me, thinking they were helping when they were actually harming.
The fact that are you literally breaking down your opening as if you’re talking to children due to fear of someone being offended by your story or perception is very concerning, people need to growing a backbone, this type of society is not sustainable, we are treating young adults as if they are children🤦🏼♀️
@@jmaldo92 of course she can do what she wants, i am not judging her for that, i find it disturbing that she feels that she has to do that for fear of people being offended. Just calling out the grown babies society that we have allowed to create and how sad it is that she has give a disclaimer to make sure she doesnt hurt the feelings of extremely weak people
@@l_a_u_y8916 I just subscribed recently, but I highly doubt she'd appreciate you calling people weak and babies in such a positive space. She seems like a very kind and empathetic person. You can learn a lot from that
@@jmaldo92 what does that matter? It doesn't change the fact that people have become too emotionally weak. How do you not see theres an issue there? Do you realize these people are the future of the country, if they lack emotionally stability and control, what do you think the future will look like?
My cat broke my floor length mirror and like a week or two later, I actually felt better about my body. Its insane what negative self talk does to you
I feel this Amanda, it was weirdly liberating to stop caring about it! Hoping to maintain that mindset moving forward ❤️
Your authenticity and transparency is so endearing and helpful to so many people. Thank you for just being you and sharing with us.🎈
Thanks a million Nichele, I sincerely appreciate it 🤗

I wish we all weren’t so hard on ourselves, but you’re so right, we just need to show ourselves more kindness too ❤️❤️

Acne , Braces & Chubby.
That must have been tough !
Great thing you have a good heart and good soul.😎
Jacy, I truly needed to hear this 🙌 🙏

a dieter definitely has a Eating disorder , eating disorders come in all shapes in sizes .
Women worry about things that men don't even notice.
