Perfect timing. I really needed to hear this right now because it has been a struggle lately. Im finding it hard to avoid the junk foods when im the only one in a family of 6 eating plant based. I will definitely watch this again and practice what I have learned. Thank you.
@@ChelseaMae Hi Chelse Ive binge because of restricting 1650 calories to lose weight, just tell me what I can do? Because when I count calories I do get hungry
Great to hear these steps again. I find it hard to pass up my high density foods at the grocery store, snd give in when they're home, so I try to shop from a list, get in the store, and get out quickly. I have no support so it's you and me. You are in my head. So glad you made this video.
I was so stressed with my masters degree last year that I gained 7kg in 2 weeks. I was only gaining weight for years and being sick all the time. I never thought I could say no to myself, no to the tenth cookie. What happened the following proved me wrong. Pregnancy, finishing uni (the cause of massive stress) and surgery restrictions were 3 factors that changed my diet. Each one in it's own way had a role. The lack of stress helped with cravings. Pregnancy made me feel like my baby is more imoortant than a beer or other foods I could not eat to protect him. The most important, my surgery came with massive food restrictions. No fats, no carbs, only low fat and cooked veggies. I didn't reach for a single cookie because I knew I could end up in the hospital again. I am telling you all of this because I want to prove that everything comes from your brain, your will. How important is it for you. I would have never changed my habits if I didn't change my life first. So 'keep fighting and eventually win the war'!!! YOU CAN DO IT!
An insightful video Chelsea, I just got out of a 7 day isolation in a Hotel room due to Covid. My eating was 💩💩, but I just accepted the mess, and gave myself a hall pass. I arrived home tonight and tomorrow is getting back to my healthy food. 🤗
I LOVE how Chelsea talks about the psychology of weight loss that is what we REALLY NEED to hear instead a bunch of dumb advice we've already heard a hundred times
I love the idea of small rewards every time I don’t give in to a craving ⭐️⭐️⭐️ or waiting 10 minutes. Lots of good tips here and I think your Mulan metaphor was great! Thank you continuing to expand the toolset for success!
I have started to question my relationship with food, and throughout my journey so far, I have managed to lose weight. However, I'm so anxious I may sabotage the positive changes made. Watching this vlog by far is the best. I have gained so many ideas, and I especially liked when you talked about the preparation of self. This is exactly what I needed to hear. I cannot stop watching this vlog. 🤩
O my gosh this stuff really works!! Today I didn't eat breakfast due to a crazy busy morning with getting kids to school, meetings, etc. I come in with a ravenous appetite at noon to find 10 giant oatmeal choc chip cookies on the kitchen counter. I was just about to tear into one and then I remembered this really helpful video I watched yesterday. So I took Chelsea's advise and told myself to "filled up first" on something else. I found an orange, some leftover lasagna and salad in the fridge. By the time I finished all that, the appetite for cookies had vanished. This is amazing thank you Chelsea
Love the Mulan analogy! My absolute favorite growing up. Thank you for this thorough explanation, it was so easy to understand and will come in handy 💕
Thank you for this video! I have family staying with me for a few weeks and my apartment has non-vegan food all over and the cravings/temptations are all over. This morning I watched this video twice and I am SO glad I did because as soon as I went into the kitchen, I wanted to have some cookies BUT I thought about what you said and paused and then just had a brazil nut and date as a quick snack. Then I warmed up my sweet potatoes and ate that right away. I think I am going to watch the video again! Really appreciate you Chels!
Wow, this would have to be your best video to date, it makes so much sense, thinking back to when I went from vegan junk food to whole plant foods and had the battles like you mentioned, 2 years later and now I'm trying to go fruitarian due to poor digestion but potatoes are just too hard to give up, because of you I've learnt to strive for excellence not perfection 🙂
Excellent video! Terrific information and easy to understand. You are an amazing speaker who’s enjoyable to listen to and learn from. Thank you so much for your time and dedication. I will be sharing it with my family immediately.
Wow Chels, I was absolutely hypnotised by this video. You’re like my pocket therapist☺️Thanks so much for making this video. I’m gonna keep practicing, gonna be messy winning this war💪🏻😝
Thank you Chelsea. I love your realism. I'm going to try finding ways to reward myself, like a star or tick chart when I'm happy with an achievement, and focus on that instead of beating myself up when I don't get it right. I'm a procrastinator through and through, so well done you 👏👏 and thank you again 😘
So glad you found this helpful!! Are you on instagram? Id love to see what you end up deciding on! Tag me if you do! I love seeing the systems others come up with for this kind of thing!
You are a very smart young woman. Your advice is spot on. I enjoy listening to your videos. They help me keep strong and maintain this way of eating. When I have my cravings I try to stop and ask myself out loud am I really hungry. If the answer is no, I try to walk away. Sometimes I fail, and regret what I ate. I try and do better next time. At least now I continue to eat healthy where before on a typical western diet I would go eat junk and stopped any diet and start over next week. I really like the idea of eating potatoes when a craving hits. I am going to try that if I know I will give in. Thanks again. 💞💕💓
🙋🏼♀️ I LOVE Mulan! It came out when I was 16 and I rocked a purple plastic Mulan lunch box for a whole year until I left it on a school bus. Ah, memories 😁 Also, the content you've been coming out with lately is so meaningful. Thanks for going deeper than just the surface, you're doing great work for the world community!
I used to talk about myself as a person who'd eat anything they could get their hands on. I think this isn't true anymore: I've shown that I'm someone who has shown will-power throughout their weightloss journey. I now find myself to be someone who is capable of making trustworthy decisions for long-term well-being instead of a quick fix, which is super empowering. Love the Mulan analogy!
Chelsea I absolutely love the message in this video! Thank you for saying all this it’s gonna help me try to rewire the way I think about habits. 💕Mulan is my favorite Disney movie too!
This video is right on the mark. I remember realizing once that when I got hungry, it meant I needed to eat a good choice soon. It did not mean I needed to eat a lot. Of course, I have since forgotten this. Need to relearn it now.
SO HELPFUL! Thanks Ches! This was an amazing presentation, and I've got great lessons to carry forward. Your podcast is THE BEST, and I am looking forward to reviewing those episodes you called out here. Thank you! xo!
Chelsea, a great video very inspiring and realistic, thank you for being real and encouraging, you are amazing and have a wonderful personality and look great!! Best wishes from Ireland.
Thank you, great video! I always wish I could leave a comment on your Podcasts so here it is, thank you so much for those, I really enjoy them! I experienced a huge relief in cravings when I unfollowed all the food porn accounts on social media. Every time I logged on and saw pictures of my favorite desserts, all I could think about all day was getting a dessert. Once I stopped those images from being in front of my face, things really got a lot better! Highly recommend giving that a try for anyone really! Honestly, the same goes for the accounts with all the unrealistic body types. I mean really, when in history were we presented with all of these images turning us around in circles mentally? It’s really just unnatural. IMO❤️ “Cravings are based on images, images are based on memories, and memories fade over time. You crave what you eat.” Love that quote. Essentially, if we stop having the images right in front of our faces constantly, they will fade and I have experienced this personally. 😘
Excellent analogy, Chelsea. Focus on actions (that lead to) rather the long term outcomes. Best advice. My big problem is exercise (that is avoiding!) so rather than say I will be lean and strong, I focus on getting out for a walk daily (mostly) and reach out for my hand weights or sit on my Pilates reformer so I feel better about having moved during the day. Soon, this manifests into "wow, I climbed that hill without panting"! It works!
Loved your video. Ignoring the craving does lead to problems. I love the approach of finding something else to eat before giving in, because your right, when the craving goes away you reinforce that “cake” isn’t the only thing that can fix it. Sometimes when I’m out and really hungry I say “just fill the hole “ to lead me to healthy eating and not feeding a craving. It allows me to separate the hunger from the emotion.
@@ChelseaMae I won’t allow myself or others to make me feel guilty about eating. I will make sure that I have preferred foods available for quick eating. Yesterday I made a big batch of veggie soup w potatoes so I could have a hot meal in 5 min ( it’s cold here). I’ve been catering for a few groups dinners and I do t want to eat their meals. Also, I observed family members during the holidays where the man ate large SAD meals while his wife ate tiny portions of the same and he judged her every bite. Then watched them eat a days worth of calories in super high calorie density treats. I went home and made a iced mocha coffee knowing that I had “treated” my body better. I didn’t fill sick or bloated afterwards.
Hi Chelsea, absolutely 💚 Disney and this Mulan analogy. This is a massively informative video. I'm going to save and rewatch because I had so many 'light bulb' moments while watching. Thank you!!
Interesting that you procrastinated because you didn't want to mess up the video. I have the same issue. It's such a good video, too! Very helpful indeed 😀 I'm very glad you made it.
Love this video, info and MULAN!!! Im trying to eat something healthy instead everytime that i want something that i know that later i wont feel good about it or wont leave me full... anyway if i eat something "that i souldnt" i go for smaller portions and also ENJOY THAT guilt free!!! Just a suggestion if it helps (because i saw that you put the minutes so you did the job hehe), if you start with 00:00 and write them in "portions" in the description of the video, the progress bar will automatically divide into those "chapters", if that helps ♥ it would be like: 00:00 - 00:52 Intro 00:53 - 03:38 What are cravings? 03:39 - 10:44 How to kill cravings - prepare for battle 10:45 - 16:39 Fight the battle 16:40 - 20:06 Win the war 20:07 - 20:55 Bonus Tips thanks for the amazin info as always, and congrats for not procrastinating this video ☺ well doneee!!!
Thanks, Chelsea, something I have been giving thought to lately - and funnily enough every time, I would say to myself "what would Chelsea advice be or say" Then Bang You do a video on it. over the holidays, (heatwave is a killer) I found myself alone for 3 weeks. Did not go anywhere, nobody came to visit and I live alone. I realized I was eating out of boredom. Yes, I will admit it. I had to find a solution = quickly. I love carbs, (pasta, bread). I would make a chip roll (or is it called chip sandwich?) or pasta with pesto. So did not feel too guilty. Then the next meal, I would only have veg or a green salad (too hot to cook). I know its out of boredom, and hopefully Chelsea will not get too angry with me, I eventually found a solution. Tomorrow Monday, life gets back to normal - will be easier to have 50/50 plates. Thankfully, I did not put on any weight (am over 60 so weight loss will be slower) Happy New Year Chelsea and family
happy new year and all my best wishes for you and your loved ones ❤️❤️❤️ i love your videos - you are so inspiring and motivating - i look at them when my craving starts 🙋🏼♀️
This was so good and honestly Chelsea, your podcast in the link was even better!!! 😍😍 absolutely outstanding information, so uplifting and helpful. Loved it all 🤗
You are amazing and I love your advice. Thank you for this craving video. I struggle with cravings at night so I will be trying your tips to control my cravings.
Omg that’s so eye opening thank you. Any video or tips on someone living with a partner who is NOT eating starch solution? The cue is always there bc my girlfriend loves vegan cookies crackers butters cheeses…
No word of a lie, I have the song “I’ll make a man out of you” from Mulan on stand-by for whenever I have to do something hard or that I don’t want to do 😂 it’s so motivating! Now it will be extra motivating listening to that song while recalling ur video- thank u!
Thank you for this video. You underestimate yourself! This video gave such good advise and valid points, thank you. Love your videos, you are a true inspiration. Keep going🌸
Thanks for your upbeat attitude and wisdom as always, Chelsea! :-) Quick question: do you know how I can turn off the "shorts" in my suggestions? I ask because I find them a bit overwhelming for my ADD, but I seriously do not want to unfollow your channel...I find you sooo inspiring. There must be a way for a user to tweak this content feed, no?
Sorry I have never seen that movie! I am more of the Cinderella, Snow White era lol :-) but I do know how to fight a battle! You don’t live this long without knowing that.Thank you for the great advice I will definitely be putting your suggestions to work. Have a wonderful day. Much love from USA 🇺🇸
I find it hard when I have foods for my five year old in the house. Two things that help are not having treats in the house. Treats are for when we go do something and I can get him something sweet then. The other is keeping bread in the freezer. Bread is a trigger food for me and not having it hanging around helps.
Great video and just what I am needing because I am struggling with stress due to a death in the family and when I am stressful I am more likely to eat vegan plant based processed junk foods. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕 Chelsea & 👪.
Such a great video. So true everybody wants the finish line but nobody wants to run the race. I love Mulan. Have you seen the one they just came out with?
P.S. Hm, I am thinking right now, that when I see the cake or baked good, and I give in and eat it, I usually feel bad right after I ate it. So, thanks, dopamin hit for nothing. And besides: why does my subconscious not tell me that eating the cake will make me feel bad and warn me beforehand? There is a fault in all of this. I am searching for the answer for years now. Some say it is bacteria in one`s intestines that send out signal to the brain. It is kind of creepy. I know it is not habits, because I haven`t had a cinnamon bun for years and all of a sudden I could stuff myself with them. I had been vegan for 7 years and all of a sudden I crave eggs like crazy. Sometimes I wish all this food addiction would be as easily managed as quitting smoking. I smoked for 14 years and gave up cold turkey in 1998. I just conditioned myself to not liking cigarette smoke. I used Alan Car`s "Easy Way Out" book. It really works. But with food it is different, because we can`t just quit eating. Alan Carr also wrote a book on weight loss, where he promotes a fruitarian diet. I have been there and it worked for a few years, but then I went back to old eating habits. It always felt like a battle to me. Fighting all of the foods, the people that thought I was crazy and so on. I was just to tired in the end to keep up the struggle. But I need to find a solution, because I have rheumatoid arthritis since 2015. I was doing fine, but all the trigger foods are always in my house. My sons eat the normal standard way and I have to cook for them all. Forget about cleaning out the invirenment. It is not going to happen. Forget the extra space in the fridge or cupboard. I will find the goodies anywhere. Besides, the stores and supermarkets are full of them. And seriously, an adict always finds his or her foods. I am one of those people who eat the leftover food of their kids`plates. It seems a waste to me to throw it out. It has been ingrained in me since childhood to eat up what`s on your plate and not to waste anything. I do freeze or refridgerate leftovers sometimes, but not when it is just a few spoons full. Yeah, topics to consider, I guess. I had an interview with Clint Paddison in 2017. It is on his channel, about family considerations and healing rheumatoid arthritis. But after all these years things did not get better, they got worse. I guess Mulan-Me has still a lot of work to do.

My favorite line from this is, "You didn't realize you were cake-less until you saw the cake." Lol
So true!! Never thought of it like that
You have no idea how much I needed to hear this today!! Thank you so much.
Me too!
Hi Chelsea
What you’re saying makes a lot of sense.
You made me cry when you said Mum came over and make Christmas biscuits with your kids.
Loved your video. Ignoring the craving does lead to problems. I love the approach of finding something else to eat before giving in, because your right, when the craving goes away you reinforce that “cake” isn’t the only thing that can fix it. Sometimes when I’m out and really hungry I say “just fill the hole “ to lead me to healthy eating and not feeding a craving. It allows me to separate the hunger from the emotion.
Love hearing your reflection from this! What will be your action/ follow through after hearing this?

Thanks, Chelsea, something I have been giving thought to lately - and funnily enough every time, I would say to myself "what would Chelsea advice be or say" Then Bang You do a video on it.
over the holidays, (heatwave is a killer) I found myself alone for 3 weeks. Did not go anywhere, nobody came to visit and I live alone. I realized I was eating out of boredom. Yes, I will admit it. I had to find a solution = quickly. I love carbs, (pasta, bread). I would make a chip roll (or is it called chip sandwich?) or pasta with pesto. So did not feel too guilty. Then the next meal, I would only have veg or a green salad (too hot to cook). I know its out of boredom, and hopefully Chelsea will not get too angry with me, I eventually found a solution. Tomorrow Monday, life gets back to normal - will be easier to have 50/50 plates. Thankfully, I did not put on any weight (am over 60 so weight loss will be slower)
Happy New Year Chelsea and family
when I have a fix for a burger.........I make a bean burger and pile it high with lettuce, tomotoes, onions and add a pickle........
Informative and super watchable as always! Love it, thank you ☺️
Watching this as I feed my butter/sugar cookie craving by eating them. I should never had bought them and I know it‼️
happy new year and all my best wishes for you and your loved ones ❤️❤️❤️
i love your videos - you are so inspiring and motivating - i look at them when my craving starts 🙋🏼♀️
Thats a great action plan!! Our diet is just as much what we listen to!
Great info! So glad someone is finally talking about this! Anyone can lose a few pounds/ then gain it back. 🙄 This is where the real battle is.
She's EASILY the BEST Disney princess! 😄
This was so good and honestly Chelsea, your podcast in the link was even better!!! 😍😍 absolutely outstanding information, so uplifting and helpful. Loved it all 🤗

This is such a great explanation! Thank you!
No word of a lie, I have the song “I’ll make a man out of you” from Mulan on stand-by for whenever I have to do something hard or that I don’t want to do 😂 it’s so motivating! Now it will be extra motivating listening to that song while recalling ur video- thank u!
hahahahaha I love this!
Thank you for this video. You underestimate yourself! This video gave such good advise and valid points, thank you. Love your videos, you are a true inspiration. Keep going🌸
Thanks for your upbeat attitude and wisdom as always, Chelsea! :-) Quick question: do you know how I can turn off the "shorts" in my suggestions? I ask because I find them a bit overwhelming for my ADD, but I seriously do not want to unfollow your channel...I find you sooo inspiring. There must be a way for a user to tweak this content feed, no?
Absolutely loved this video 🙌🏼
Another amazing video thanks Chels!!

Sorry I have never seen that movie! I am more of the Cinderella, Snow White era lol :-) but I do know how to fight a battle! You don’t live this long without knowing that.Thank you for the great advice I will definitely be putting your suggestions to work. Have a wonderful day. Much love from USA 🇺🇸
Great video! Love all your tips Chels! 🥰
Great video! Helped me push through a current craving ! ❤
Brilliant explanation, thank you 😊
I find it hard when I have foods for my five year old in the house. Two things that help are not having treats in the house. Treats are for when we go do something and I can get him something sweet then. The other is keeping bread in the freezer. Bread is a trigger food for me and not having it hanging around helps.
This is great!! Making it harder to get those things.
Great video and just what I am needing because I am struggling with stress due to a death in the family and when I am stressful I am more likely to eat vegan plant based processed junk foods. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕 Chelsea & 👪.

P.S. Hm, I am thinking right now, that when I see the cake or baked good, and I give in and eat it, I usually feel bad right after I ate it. So, thanks, dopamin hit for nothing. And besides: why does my subconscious not tell me that eating the cake will make me feel bad and warn me beforehand? There is a fault in all of this. I am searching for the answer for years now. Some say it is bacteria in one`s intestines that send out signal to the brain. It is kind of creepy. I know it is not habits, because I haven`t had a cinnamon bun for years and all of a sudden I could stuff myself with them. I had been vegan for 7 years and all of a sudden I crave eggs like crazy. Sometimes I wish all this food addiction would be as easily managed as quitting smoking. I smoked for 14 years and gave up cold turkey in 1998. I just conditioned myself to not liking cigarette smoke. I used Alan Car`s "Easy Way Out" book. It really works. But with food it is different, because we can`t just quit eating. Alan Carr also wrote a book on weight loss, where he promotes a fruitarian diet. I have been there and it worked for a few years, but then I went back to old eating habits. It always felt like a battle to me. Fighting all of the foods, the people that thought I was crazy and so on. I was just to tired in the end to keep up the struggle. But I need to find a solution, because I have rheumatoid arthritis since 2015. I was doing fine, but all the trigger foods are always in my house. My sons eat the normal standard way and I have to cook for them all. Forget about cleaning out the invirenment. It is not going to happen. Forget the extra space in the fridge or cupboard. I will find the goodies anywhere. Besides, the stores and supermarkets are full of them. And seriously, an adict always finds his or her foods. I am one of those people who eat the leftover food of their kids`plates. It seems a waste to me to throw it out. It has been ingrained in me since childhood to eat up what`s on your plate and not to waste anything. I do freeze or refridgerate leftovers sometimes, but not when it is just a few spoons full. Yeah, topics to consider, I guess. I had an interview with Clint Paddison in 2017. It is on his channel, about family considerations and healing rheumatoid arthritis. But after all these years things did not get better, they got worse. I guess Mulan-Me has still a lot of work to do.
