Why I Needed a 4 Month Break from Youtube (Explaining My Mistakes) – Stephanie Buttermore

It just baffles me how many people in the comment section like to act like qualified professionals, diagnosing and prescribing treatments for someone you don’t even know. People really like to get on their soapboxes and judge others to make themselves feel superior. It is completely normal to relapse or go back to old patterns when recovering from an ED, but what’s even harder is to do that while being in the public eye. I think people need to humble themselves in this comment section because you’re also probably far from perfect. If someone’s content doesn’t speak to you just don’t watch it.

Thank you Stephanie for opening up about your journey. I feel like what would be best for the channel is for you to create content that feels authentic and genuine to you, to attract the kind of viewers that will support you rather than nitpick everything you do.

Cheers to fitness Youtubers who recognize when they are no longer healthy enough to be giving advice. I really respect Stephanie taking this break.

Thank you for being so honesty. Would love you to document your journey from your back injury back to lifting.

You simply attract who you Subconsciously are…Your Subconscious Image is I AM SKINNY/I AM IRRITATED that also included some temporary I AM: Lean, Curvy and Fat along the way…So your body & reality is just adjusting to that mental picture…Remember All good/bad events, situations and relationships in your Life are just a reflection of your Subconscious self…Change the Internals and the Outside World will miraculously change for the better too…

The last time I weighed myself was prob like 5 years ago… I just workout and eat good… I know when I gain weight and so I cut back… I feel like Weighing everyday is toxic..

What’s ‘healthy weight’ compared to ‘unhealthy weight’? I assume she was in a healthy BMI both after her all in journey vs now?

great video…i recommend making videos that YOU love to make…don’t worry about what other people want…worry about making content that you want to…you have really good content and people will watch…thank you for documenting so much for us

I would love to see what foods and meals are you go to since all in! I am currently in my own journey of fitness and health. I have established a workout regime but get into a rut of the same foods (I would say I’m 50/50 with clean eating/junk eating) especially after years of restricted eating and tracking calories getting a little too obsessed with numbers. I think my mind is starting to realized what my body needs and need some help getting there.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I think you’re relating to more people than you think you are with this. I would love to see how you’re living as a “normal” fitness lifestyle person, continue sharing what you’re comfortable with relating your relationship and day to day life as I love seeing you and Jeff together! How you handle stress, how you’re feeling with body neutrality etc and potentially
How your hormones have balanced and how that affects your body mind and spirit!

Steph you are by far my favorite youtuber. you have helped not only me but so many others with their journeys, whatever those may be. you've created such a loving and safe community ❤️ can't wait to see what the future holds for you!

Stephanie, thank you so much. You are a shining example of vulnerability and courage, and I can't do anything but applaud you for so bravely sharing your journey.
I personally needed this video from you.
You are beautiful inside and out, regardless of what your physique looks like. Also, I think you SHOULD keep showing your body, because the whole point is body neutrality, right? Fat, thin, stooped, straight, etc. If you feel confident and free and in love with yourself, girl, don't hide yourself! Your body is YOUR body, and however anybody feels about it is not your responsibility or frankly, your business. People that say they are triggered can fast forward through those parts.
Again, you are gorgeous from the inside out, and I keep coming back because your honesty and bubbly charisma really speak to me and have helped me through my own struggles.
Stay strong, dear!

If you're looking for eating disorder or food experts I'd highly recommend Dr. Joshua Wolrich (doctor, writer of the book 'Food isn't medicine) or Megan Jayne Crabbe (body positivity and recovered anorexic)!

Don't completely leave All In on here.
I could never understand why you would show your physique. Maybe an explanation video!
How about some videos with experts on the binging, on again, off again cycles and seasons. Menopause… obviously not you but maybe others.
Don't stop!

A lot of doctors in the comments coming out of the woodwork to diagnose you 😂

Could you PLEASE just focus on DAILY EATING.. It would be so helpful in helping women to know WHAT to eat. Which is our biggest struggle. Also how to workout for the Everyday woman/man. Thx.

Don't stop showing your body, its their trigger to deal with (obviously its your choice, whatever is comfortable) but its really helpful to see what real weight gain/loss looks like. You've honestly helped my recovery so much, making it seem doable and not so scary:)

On the subject of "showing your physique." My concern isn't what others think of your body, it's more that you are still describing your body as your physique. This way of thinking, could be part of what you are struggling with. Much like the scale and telling people how much you weigh, you are not required to show your body to us. Your journey isn't what you look like, it's about what is going on inside of you. Clearly, sharing your journey has tremendous value to you and to others. Showing us how you look in a bikini, in regards to how you feel about your weight, doesn't seem to be supportive of your journey. Again, I am not offended by your bikini body at any size or stage, but I am concerned that if you continue the "here is what my body looks like now" type video, that you will continue to place the importance on how you "look" vs how you are "feeling". I love watching your workouts and I love the joy you seem to get from lifting heavy and feeling strong. Unless you are swimming or vacationing, taking bikini footage for "check in" purposes doesn't seem helpful to you. I run outside in a sports bra because it's hot in Texas, and it feels better that way. If I take a post run selfie, I don't feel the need to get my whole body in the shot, although sometimes it happens. It's not even about modesty (I'm not at all), but because what my body looks like isn't why I run. I will never feel like I have to show my body to help someone understand me, and I hope that you know, that you don't have to show your body if it doesn't make you feel good.

It’s great to see you losing weight and as long as you are not eating too much! 🙌❤️
