I never knew you were overweight before. I thought you always had a small frame. Well, great job with the physical transformation! That’s really inspiring! Thanks for posting, lovely?❤
I had a terrible relationship with food… especially during high school. I was overweight. I was always called ugly or fat by people. So during the middle of Freshman year, I began cutting my portion size. Cutting my portion size led to restricting myself. I noticed that I lost 30 or 40 pounds in 2 1/2 months. I stopped for awhile and then binge eating started. After that, I felt so bad. So I started doing the one thing I never thought I’d do… I became bulimic. It became a problem when I started losing hair and my throat burned so bad. Body image issues are such a challenge, but I’m glad you made this video. It’s going to help so many people. That’s why so many people love you and this channel. You’re open, honest and so genuine. You say you aren’t perfect and share your experiences, which I love. I know that period of your life must have sucked, but it taught you a lesson about loving yourself and your body and it’s allowed you to help others. Keep being the awesome person that you are! I’d love to see more videos like this ?
Stephanie I’m so sorry that you had to go through that, I’m so proud of you for opening up about it. Thank you so much for always watching and supporting me <3 <3
YES GIRL! You absolutely nailed it describing binge eating. I have never been able to put it into words, but you did just that. I needed to hear all of this so bad and I have to say I’m so glad I’m not alone in this haha. You’re such an inspiration and such a great role model. Xoxo!
You are 100% not alone. Thank you so much Natalie <3
Wow! What an accurate description of your binge eating experience. This description is actually very applicable to so many other addictions as well.
Love when you make these kind of videos Maryanna. You are so empathetic and relatable. Glad you came out of it all a better person with a real heartfelt dedication to helping others. Cheers!
Thank you so much Paul
Maryana Dvorska You’re most welcome. And thank you for championing the causes that are near and dear to you. ?
Thank you for sharing this intimate, heartbreaking and emotional video. I cried remembering my very similar journey that I had buried and forgotten. Love you <3
<3
Wow! I would’ve never guessed you went through that. It must be very hard opening up to the world about such a private issue. It’s truly amazing what you have overcome Maryana, and I’m so glad you’re in a position to help inspire women to overcome such issues <3
Thank you for sharing this video with us, what you’ve gone through is very relatable, and seeing that someone like you who has been so successful in their fitness journey has had a similar childhood/food-relationship as I have is very inspirational and gives me hope that some day I can mend my relationship with food and weight and self image like you have
<3 <3 <3 you absolutely can
I literally cried watching this. I had a severe binge last night and this morning I woke up and ran for the first time in months. sometimes I get so caught up in weightlifting I forget how much I loved cardio at one point without it being the source of “running food off” this is all I needed to hear. Love your channel far more than you’ll ever know.?
Girl I’m so sorry, I know exactly how that feels, please know you are not alone and theres professionals out there who can help you get on the path to recovery. Step one is identifying the problem which you’ve done. I believe In you and recovery is so possible and so worth it <3
honestly this resonated so much with me. this is gonna be long (trigger warning) but i remember before freshman year of high school i really wanted to lose weight so i started eating around 500 calories and lost 20 pounds in month(pls dont do this) and i was so scared of food and obsessed with counting calories. after starting school i became busy and more hungry so i started eating more prob like 1200 but along the way i gave up and started eating unhealthy and then on an overseas trip i ate whatever & when i came back i tried to eat healthy but i couldnt and just stopped trying. beg of sophmore year i tried eating healthy again but then i moved & looked to food again for comfort in a new environment but then i felt intimidated by new people/school and felt pressure to lose weight again(cause i gained it all back from the time i unhealthy lost it) so i tried eating healthy and losing weight once again but i fell into depression because of abuse & family issues & started binging because it was the only thing that made me happy & i didnt care i was gaining weight because i was somewhat suicidal and so it didnt matter what i was doing to my body. that lasted a while until around august when junior year started and i once again tried to eat healthy but i knew this time i had to do it slow and an actually healthy way because i didnt want to be triggered by my past unhealthy habits like calorie counting(esp myfitnesspal), weighing myself weekly, etc. so i started eating healthy until i was full, and started working out 3-4 times a week at home where i do a hiit wk/ab/glute/etc and it slowly became a habit that i could balance w/ school & i measure myself now every month and i started weighing myself again to see my progress and looslely calorie counting to help reach my goal but its still somewhat hard for me and i stop counting when i feel everything come back. ive tried exercising too much or restricting myself too much even now and it just makes me crash so im just trying to find a balance. ive never told anyone in my life hecause i dont have anyone really to tell cause my family enabled the restrictive eating so ive never talked about it but thank u for making this video youre extremely inspirational ??
Girl I am so proud for opening up about this, I’m so sorry that you don’t have anyone in your life to talk to but I hope you know theres people out there who can help you get through it and you should not be facing this on your own. I know how hard it can be to talk about something like this but its the first step. <3
Maryana Dvorska hopefully one day i can get help but thank u ur response truly means alot??
This is exactly what I needed. Thank-you so much.
Thank you for watching <3 <3
i can relate to this SOOO much! i too ran every single day for an hour and was eating like 1200 calories. i am so glad you shared your story.
The exact words you used to describe how binge eating feels is exactly how i used to describe it to my mom when I was going through it in college. I was never professionally diagnosed with BED, but I absolutely experienced it throughout the entirety of college (and late high school). It honestly wasn’t until about 6 months ago that I really felt like I was truly past that point in my life, and I couldnt be more grateful. Thank you so much for sharing you’re journey, this really helped me put a few things into perspective. Ive been lifting consistantly at the gym for about 2 months now and I’m loving it! Really looking forward to where my fitness journey will take me too ?❤️
I’m so happy for you <3 thank you so much for watching!
I think you can help so much girls with this video including me. I can so relate with you. I’m in a process of making peace with the food and I can see the progress. I try to not count macros all the time and just enjoy in food. Thank you for this video! ❤️
Thank you so much for watching <3
Yas girl same thing in Hispanic culture. You cannot say no to food.
Thank you so much for sharing your story, Maryana!

Thanks for sharing your story Maryana!! This is so inspiring, and women need to know that they are not alone ? We need more strong women like you in the world! Keep on rocking girl ?
Omg the way you described how binge eating feels was so spot on. It really does feel like you’re watching your body being taken over by something and you just stuff your face. And how you come out of it is when you’re literally stuffed that then you feel guilty but that’s the only way for you to be back in control. It’s so sad but so true.
I’m so proud of you ?
