Opening up about my weight loss

Ok I read all your comments LONG VLOGS IT IS? I love you all so much tell me about your April

omg if every gym was this dark with subtle colored lights i would.... probably still be too anxious to ever go but WOULD THINK ABOUT IT MORE OFTEN PROBABLY

To be honest, I almost didn’t watch this video. I’m struggling with weight loss and a pcos diagnosis right now and I was like “man, I really don’t want to hear about another persons incredible fitness journey and see them flex how great they look”. But I had to switch my thought process, because you’re Morgan. I relate to you a lot, and I’m happy that you’ve been able to make a healthy transition to fitness in your life. Thanks for taking us along with you, and representing a healthy adaptation without “flexing” your weight loss, body checking, etc. you’re a positive influence to this generation, and I’m PROUD of you, and thankful for you.

When people say you look different, it isn’t necessarily the weight loss itself. You’re just radiating on a different level now. I noticed a change in you before you said something awhile back. Mostly how much clearer your eyes are and how healthier your skin looks. And it’s NOT that you looked horrible, it’s that you have a spark that didn’t seem to be there before. I’m proud of you.

Love your long vlogssss and your whole journey this far! Never stop! Take your time and we will always be here waiting!

Finally someone who understands that a compliment can feel negative 😢

She said "Lucas", I went 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

a couple years ago i lost around 50 lbs and received some of the most backhanded compliments…everyone was complimenting and mentioning my weightloss and it was like “is this really all what people thought about?”

Q & A with Lucas please! ❤ The moment we have all been waiting for!!

Morgan, I don't say this to make you feel better, I genuinely feel like you've always been beautiful. Your inner beauty is very bright. It's hard to find someone as genuine and vulnerable as you are, and I appreciate watching your videos. I feel like I'm spending time with a friend.

Morgan I totally understand those compliments not seeming like compliments. I lost a significant amount through getting super sick and being super sick for about two years. People complimented how great I looked when I was the sickest and most miserable I've ever been. Once a guy who had been a regular at a shop I used to work at told me when catching up: "Wow you've really slimmed down. You look great!" And I said "Yeah I got really sick." And he was SO UNCOMFORTABLE. Now when a friend tells me about weight gain or loss I ask them "how do you feel about that?" If it aligns with their personal goal=it's a win and good for them. If it doesn't align with their personal goals= empathize, offer support in whatever form they need. But it's not fun to have family/friend make unsolicited comments that make you feel like you're more valuable now as opposed to then. It's also so important that you note that your self confidence issues don't get magically solved in a different sized body. Be kind to yourself in every form you come in, because we will all look so different throughout our lives. ❤

i became overweight during the last two years of high school! i always did my hair , makeup , nails ,etc ! then i lost 35 pounds during Covid and met up with my high school friends for my birthday ! i wil NEVER forget when my friend told me “ oh my goodness Sammie ! you became girlier and prettier”… I just got thinner, that’s all ! love yourselves during your personal journies 🤍! do it for yourself and remind yourself you’re capable of all things ! go on with your bad self !

I feel you Morgan! I just lost 56 lbs, and even when people say nice things there are many times that 'complement' comes with strange eye rolls and unspoken snark. Don't worry about how you look - think about how much better you feel in your body - with your health. I just feel so comfortable now - which I never did before, and I concentrate on that! ❤❤❤

Wait a second, does the whole sock situation mean that Lucas moved in?!? Love that for you!! Get to keep in contact with the guys!

Girl I felt it when you said “ the towel wraps all the way around my body. I lost like 50 lbs. feel the same as you. Get all the same comments. The anxiety of loosing the progress.. super real.

I used to be overweight and then finally got down to my goal weight and the feeling of being overweight has just never gone away for me. I am still self conscious and always feel fat even though i know I am not. I will look in the mirror and like my outfits and buy cute clothes but when I am out and about I just have that feeling from being overweight for so long. I am just uncomfortable in my skin and I need to learn to love my self, I know this and I am getting better at it but it's a hard journey. And trust me Morgan it does such putting all the time and energy into getting healthy and then stopping for just a month and falling backwards. Don't give up bit don't be hard on yourself. Enjoy your accomplishments and it's good people Notice your change. I hate it when people say "you haven't changed a bit!" Because I have put a lot of work into getting better. So for people to notice your progress, that's a good thing! ❤

I feel you. The comments/compliments also always make me feel bad about who I was before. Like when I was heavier I worked so hard to tell myself I was still beautiful and worthy, and the comments about how "different" and "good" I look now just make me think, "so those voices in my head were right all along? I really did look disgusting?" And then yeah it contributes to the fear of losing progress and stuff. I totally get you. It's definitely hard ❤

Morgan you’re the reason I finally went to get my moles checked out and it turns out I did have a melanoma. (I am a mole queen too) I told my husband you saved my life!

I just want to say how much you inspire me. I can honestly say I wouldn't have gone to college and wouldn't have been going on my own workout journey without you. You are my favorite creator on here because you are always so real and so inspiring. But also just the fact that you arent trying to say everything changed when you got fit because everyone says working out will.change your life, it'll cure everything, and that just is not true and I love that you are acknowledging that all your problems have not vanished since you lost weight. But really, thank you so much for being you and being honest ❤❤

Love how you talked about even if you “fix” your insecurities, it doesn’t always fix the way you view yourself. We always think if I just did this my life would be perfect, but it doesn’t always work out that way. So relatable! ❤
