OHAI, INTERNETS! ๐
Jaye Weighs In
Welcome to the web home of @JayeWeighsIn, where I’m finding my fit over fifty.ย
This is where I “weigh in” about health and wellness topics, document my weight loss journey, react to the occasional internet trash fire, and get a little curse-y and snarky! ๐ฅ๐
If somebody in her fifties fighting to reverse Type III Obesity is triggering, please navigate away from this website, change the channel, or stay and open your mind to stark reality and new possibilities… ๐๐ป๐

Why I’ve Been Flirting with the Carnivore Diet ๐
@JayeWeighsIn
This video is about vulnerability, curiosity, open-mindedness, and real change. And, of course, a pocketful of humor, Gen-X references, and curse-y words. ๐
Today, I’m talking about tipping the scales and (maybe??) going on the #carnivore diet! ๐ฑ I’m also sharing a very personal glimpse into my current state at 258 pounds (wait until after the “Wonder Woman on a skateboard” clip to see it ๐ซฃ).

I Was in The Washington Post! My Anti-Diet Story w/ @SamAtEverySize
@JayeWeighsIn
I was fangirling BIG TIME watching โช@samateverysizeโฌ defend my honor against anti-diet influencers, all sparked by my headline-grabbing interview in The Washington Post. I’m spilling the tea on my unfiltered thoughts and feelings as we unpack the messy world of diet culture, anti-diet debates, and the sneaky tricks of the (big) food industry. ๐ฐโจ The WaPo story just barely scratched the surface…

A Mindset Shift About Calorie Counting
@JayeWeighsIn
I had an epiphany about calorie counting this last week that was a surprising mindset shift! ๐ณ Is calorie counting a punishment or awareness tool? Restrictive or neutral? IMHO, itโs all about how you look at it. It CAN be a neutral practiceโand maybe even FUN??โafter all! ๐ค I’ve struggled with over-restriction and restrictive EDs in the past, so this “Aha moment” is a big deal for me.

The “Flat-Earthers” of Health… ๐
#shorts from the full video, part three. ๐๐๐ป There was a time when watching Joe Rogan and Bill Maher talk about the obesity epidemic would make me feel like I was being “fat shamed.” Now that I’ve accepted reality, am following the REAL science, and am no longer a believer in “healthy at every size,” how will watching these two chat about this topic make me feel today? ๐

Fat CAN be beautiful! But healthy? ๐
#shorts from the full video, part two. ๐๐๐ป This one got a little bit controversial! If people thought I was PRO fat-acceptance, they got a little bit… mean? If they thought I was against it, they were nicer. This is what taking clips from a longer video can do sometimes on YouTube/TikTokโviewers don’t have the full context on their side. But hey, it got me great views, engagement, and new subscribers, so I’m happy! ๐
