Stephanie Buttermore posts on her Instagram, updating her followers on her results after eating “all in” for 8 months. “I eat a normally portioned meal and I don’t feel like I could eat that meal all over again when I”m done,” Buttermore stated. Buttermore frequently posts “What I Eat in a Day” videos on her YouTube account.

In June of 2019, fitness YouTuber, blogger and former bikini competitor Stephanie Buttermore released a video on her YouTube channel titling “I Am Going ALL IN | Why Am I So Hungry?” Up until this video, Buttermore has built her social media following by posting workout and dieting videos, vlogs and insane 10,000 calorie cheat days that she used to combat her massive appetite. But after experiencing the side effects of maintaining her lean figure, Buttermore focused her social media efforts on chronicling a new journey: going all in. Buttermore challenged herself to eat every single day until she was completely full, causing her to begin to eat over 5,000 calories a day.

Now eight months into her journey, Buttermore has gained over 35 lbs. Shown in her previous cheat day videos, Buttermore has always had a large appetite—one that she has never been able to satisfy. Going “all in” is meant to take away how weak, tired, cold and hungry Buttermore felt while lean. 

When Buttermore started the journey, she quickly gained weight by eating a surplus of calories each day, but over time, the goal of going “all in” is to end cravings and decrease her appetite. Currently in month nine, Buttermore remarks how shocking it is that after eating one meal, unlike before, she feels satisfied, or when faced with a box of cookies, one cookie is enough. Her calorie intake has dramatically decreased even without the pressure to diet, and now she is on the road to finding her body’s natural weight.

Even though Buttermore began this challenge to cure her extreme hunger, her Instagram and YouTube channel have now become platforms to encourage body positivity, sharing her mental struggles coming with a curvier figure, but also a newfound confidence. Buttermore writes on her Instagram comment, “Since starting this journey, loving myself with added weight has really been a struggle…but as time goes on, I’m gaining more confidence in my own skin and have a much more positive outlook on my self image.” She continues to share the ups and downs, along with new results on her social media platforms with her 932,000 subscribers.
