Good evening Tessie- There is this saying, that most people won't make any big changes unless they are sufficiently motivated. I would say you are sufficiently motivated... looking forward to the next chapter ~ Diane
Tessie you are our kind of you-tuber! Don't say you are not a professional you-tuber because you are. Don't compare yourself to others. You are a unique influencer and one that I don't want to miss watching every night. You are real, honest and so beautifully humble. I use to be a subcriber to other channels but decided to unsubscribe because I felt I could no longer connect with their topics or personality and felt that there was to much "fluff" that I didn't appreciate. You look tired Tessie but before you know it your energy will be back. I once heard the saying "eat to be healthy and the weight will come off. Not eat to lose weight to get healthy. That has stuck with me and when you look at it this way it just seems easier. Love your finds and I really enjoy your channel content. So happy you are feeling better. That childhood like in you makes you special.
Oh my goodness Tessie….. I so identify with the overindulgence of certain things! Ice cream Is my kryptonite! I’ll buy a tub, believing that I will only have a scoop each day …..Duh! Five bowls later, and the tub is almost empty….. and then I feel ashamed of myself for being a glutton. I realise that I am an ‘all or nothing’ person, so ice cream is off the shopping list! Sharon from Australia 🇦🇺 🦘
@@maureendietz622 If I could adopt the one scoop only rule, I’d be able to have anything I like, from a piece of gateau cake to a glass of wine 🍷….. it’s something to work on, ongoing. Good luck with your ice-cream battle. Sharon
It can be hard changing the way you eat. But once your on a routine, and you have your mind set, you will do wonderfully. Don't let others deter you, your doing the right things. It may seem like your missing out sometimes, and you may miss your favorite foods. But after a while you won't miss it. Heck you might find that the food you use to eat taste weird or it may not agree with you anymore. I was on a Paleo diet for 3 years. Nothing was processed. And I was strict on myself not to touch any kind of processed foods. It was hard watching others around me enjoy the foods I use to love. But I kept at it. I ate well. I Wasn't deprived, I still ate meats, poultry, nuts, fruits, vegetables. The way I felt body and mind, was incredible. I had energy, I slept well, my anxiety was gone, I felt lighter, happier and I lost the weight I wanted to lose. And the best part was I reversed my diabetes diagnosis without touching any meds. So it's all beneficial in the end. I did however resort back to eating the crappy food. But lately I'm feeling like getting back at eating healthy again. So keep on going Tessie.Your inspiring me to do the same. ❤
Tessie, So glad to see you back to normal again just take it easy for a bit I once went through this some years ago everything in moderation that is how I see it cute doll looks right at home wonderful gifts like the candle in the jar and the picture :-) Love you my Sister :-) God Bless you and Ken :-)
Hello Tessie. Glad to hear you’re feeling better. I also have a fatty liver, so I have decided to fast. I am on my second now. 😅 I am on the journey with you.
Medical crises change us in ways we are not even aware of till much later. I am going through several medical issues right now, and I am trying to heed my best friend's moto--stay positive. It isn't always easy, but she went through a liver transplant 8 years ago and is back to better than ever, both physically and emotionally. I strive to be like her and try to rise above all the tests, procedures, surgeries, etc. I know you can achieve your goals because you are focused and realistic. And a hard worker. Good for you, keep up the good work.
So appreciate the videos you share with us . Makes me feel like you are not just a you tuber but a friend. Last year after our fire I decided I needed to change my life.. I have lost 62 pounds and have about 40 left to go. My biggest change was what I eat and exercise. I big part of the success I have is to watch your channel every day. I so happy you are ok and are doing so well mentally too. Thank you for everything you share every day, it means a lot to me and all of us ❤❤❤
Dear sister I have had to do this and have been doing this for a few years now… we only eat hotdogs that are all beef or deer meat from deer we harvest ourselves.. I make all my bread and bread products from fresh ground wheat and rye grains.. we eat rice but it’s again real rice and as close to its original form… I can a lot of food from the garden and make all my own ketchup, mustard, pasta sauce and and and… now since we started doing this we have cut out about 99% of all convenience food.. this means I cook and make everything three times a day… its a lot of work but my husband and I are healthier by far… even with my auto immune disease and with cancer… hubby has lost a lot of weight and is now off his bp meds!
Thank you for sharing your journey, I am very interested in the foods you will be eating on this journey. I love your videos every one. I almost feel like I am your neighbor chatting about recipes, prepping and crafts. Thanks for letting us into your life.
Tessie this is what I love about you and your channel your so creative and open with so many things sharing your heart and soul with us it is such a joy to be here with you :-)
So glad to hear you are feeling better!! It's so good to see you in "real time" lol I watch your channel because you are you, real honest, caring, talented, a wonderful teacher, and a beautiful spirit. I don't want the staged stuff and fake personality. I love your mobile home, your she she'd, greenhouses, potting she'd, out porch, deck garden, yard and all the landscaped areas lovingly decorated by someone so sweet and talented. I enjoy learning from you because you're so real and down to earth that I see what you can inexpensively and hey I might could do that too. You lift my spirits on really hard days and you'll never know how much you and your viewers mean to me. Please continue to take it easy, I will continue to pray 🙏. Have a blessed evening ❤❤❤😊😊😊
Good job, Tessie! God wants us to take good care of our temples. He led me and my husband to "real" food a year and a half ago and we've never looked back. He will do the same for you. God bless you, sister!❤
It's a journey Tessie, I think we each have a story to tell. Good for you for giving yourself a kick-start to better health. I know it's not easy but I would imagine it will give you peace knowing that your trying your best. ❤
Hi Tessie It's been a long time since I've seen you. Today was the first time in ages I got a notification from TH-cam. I hope you and your family are doing well. You are looking great and seem to be healthy. I'm glad to see you are taking care of yourself. Take Care It's great to see you!
I so love your channel and your sharing your life with us! I love my collectible things too, and yours are so cute. I am a couple of months shy of 70 and can tell you that our lives are always a work of progress; ever learning and ever evolving. Thank you for your inspiration!
Hi Tessie! So happy to see you and you're looking great! Im glad you're going to be eating healthier. You will notice a great difference in how you feel in a short time. Blessings.
Hi, Tessie, so far, there is no exam for you tubers… I like your content, because it’s like chatting with a neighbor over the garden fence, sharing the good and the bad things in life. I believe you. Staged videos are sometimes entertaining, but I won’t call them life. I bought some of the books you found in the thrift store online second hand and imagined I’ve a tea time with you, both reading the same book about housekeeping and cooking or gardening, books I’d never had found without you. You’ve had several life changes and you stick to your plans, but if they don’t work you find others. Our life is like a never ending school and we learn always new skills, if we’re open to necessities and possibilities. Take care, Tessie, love, Monika❣
Tessie i love creating and decorating all of my things come from thrift stores. I also use my imagination have always called our place Mistic valley it peaceful quiet with many wild animals we have gardens many flowers stress is hard for me at time when the out side world rushes in keep doing you and sending love and prayers
I grew up around the Plain City area in Ohio. I grew up with the Mennonite and Amish. I grew up myself on a 500 acre farm, but I always somehow envied them because of the simplicity. I get peace from you watching you. I’m 65 and you remind so much of my youth growing up. The simplicity. I’ve followed you from the beginning Thank you for sharing you. ❤️
I love thrift shopping even if I don’t get anything. It is hard changing the way you eat until you get used to it. It is easy to slip once in awhile too. I love Linda’s gift. I love fall. You made it look lovely of course. Have a great evening everyone!
everything in moderation...you got this! Im like you I like things too..I have started making boxes like you to rotate Pack up some things and bring out different things that way you enjoy it all but not all at once
How great, I'm really excited for you! I did the same about a month ago and feel better than I have for years (took 3 weeks for me to eliminate GERD symptoms-life changing). If you have an Aldi, they are often sold out, but have an organic uncured all beef hot dog that is divine and a good compromise (sans bun). Yes, they're $5 a package but worth every cent! LOL
Your doing great Tessie. Making lifestyle changes isn’t easy but certainly achievable. With all the bad things out in our food, GMO’s, bioengineered, all the recalls, I won’t eat processed foods, or non organic. We are lucky to grow all of our own produce and preserve everything I can. You can do it Tessie, prayers
Tessie, can relate and am so with you, on this journey. Helps having another along on the challenges of our journey. Thanks, for the encouragement... 🙌🏼 🤗 I like your every setup you share with great cheer. 😆 That's a darling doll, she was made for your home and enjoyment. 🥳 Love and prayers. ✝️💖💐😊🙏🏻 Blessings everyone. 🪴🙏🏻
I’m doing this with you Tessie. I literally had to go through my fridge and pantry to get rid of processed food, and a lot of Carbs 2 weeks ago. No Pastas, No Rice, No prepackaged Grocery store bread, no sweets.😢
I absolutely loved the doll but manly because of the bonnet, reminded me of my grandma's bonnet. Proud of you taking care of Liver. My hubby didn't have any symptoms to warn him now has end stage Cirrhosis that can't be reversed because too severe. May God bless you.
You Ms Tessie are in a SUPER position for getting rid of commercially processed foods. Those foods have 2 or more ingredients plus "extras. Many of these things can be made at home without the "extras" because well, they are simply made with 2 or more ingredients. And, you have the skill, tools, a d equipment to do so; probably a recipie or two in a cookbook too.
I love what you found at the thrift shop, the vintage tea towels, and the cute old-fashioned doll. I love your fall display and the pretty picture that you were given. Your wanting to eat healthier has inspired me and I am on a quest to try to eat healthier as well, thank you as always for sharing your life with all of us. You are a blessing.❤
Good Evening Tessie, Sisters, Brothers, and Friends, Be sure to hit that like button Tessie will appreciate it Greatly also be sure to watch all the ads :-)
Oooh yes love the doll. For food yes eating lots of veggies and plenty of real food is more filling than the processed food. And I know that eating right is hard and I'm still trying. God bless you and your family with love.
Thank you Tessie I am jumping on that wagon with you starting tomorrow eating healthy. Going to try to be up lifted see the good in things! Going to follow your videos as always for help.
Tessie, I ate after my Mom passed. My feelings. When I got my blood work done, I wasn't surprised. I have lost weight. Because Blue Bell not here anymore. And I am trying. But I do have cheat days. But I have to be careful. Love ya. Take care of you. Deborah.
So glad to see this! So many people are saving money by eating unhealthy portions of "filler" foods. Sure, if you're truly starving, anything is better than nothing, but that's not always the case. Our health will suffer. We are also trying low cost healthy whole foods 🙂
You're looking healthier and happier too.😊 We are all a work in progress, that's for sure. All we can do is our best to take care of the body we've been given..keep His temple clean with good foods that He has made.🫐🥦🥬🍅🍇🍌🫑🧄😋 But we have to enjoy our favorites now and then too. 🍫☕ Blessings & Shalom to everyone. ❤
Tessie, It's Lovely To See You Back And Looking So Well! We Are ALL A Work In Progress And As Long As You Take Things Slowly-- One Day At A Time Sweet JESUS -- You Will Get There My Friend! GOD Bless, Andrea
I don't want a professional You-Tuber! I want a down to earth You-Tuber....and that is what I found i your channel and in you! So glad you are starting your new way of eating and I know you will feel so much better! As long as you check carbs and limit them to under 20-30 grams a day and eliminate all the processed foods and ingredients( if you cannot pronounce it....don't eat it!!!)you will do fine! If it does not walk around or fly or swim, don't eat it! If it does not grow in the ground, on a bush or on a tree.....don't eat it! In the Bible, the Lord tells us how we should eat and what He has provided for us to eat! Granted some of it is relevant to the Jewish faith, but still applies to everyone! When you start looking at carbs, you will be surprised at how much you can eat without overdoing it! Generally eliminating "white" foods, cover a lot of the "bad" foods we should eliminate! Unfortunately, the Amish and Mennonite way of eating are very high in carbs! ( but delicious!!....that's the problem) But the primary ingredient to avoid is white sugar and corn syrup!!!! Natural sweeteners are better if you need some sweetener, but used sparingly!(natural, pure maple syrup, stevia, ( you can grow it in your garden, dry it and grind it into a powder) monkfruit, and a few others you can look up. Any bread you buy at the store is considered "processed" and probably be avoided( with the exception of organic sourdough bread, it is fermented) Your homemade bread is most likely healthier than store bought. Ezekiel bread is mentioned in the Bible with the ingredients! The wheat we use today(GMO) is not the same wheat that was used years ago, and our body does not recognize what to do with it. Bread made with ancient grains( look them up) is much better than our bread made with our GMO wheat flour. The flour used in Europe is not GMO and is regulated by law and their breads and pastas are healthier than ours! They can eat the bread and noodles and not gain the weight or have the health issues that we have! I don't think they even have much, if any, gluten intolerance! So, my prayers are with you on your food journey, and I know you will do fine! God Bless!😊❤🙏
We are glad u filling better. I'm an sematic when they told me to stop eating dairy it was hard but now I can't eat it at all it bothers me I don't miss it much and my collateral went down twenty points. Points. So it all good. Enjoy thrifty Thursday doll is really cute. Fall is my favorite time if the year
You’re doing well, good for you! I’m all about some food - I’ve always been that way. I hate that I’m like this. I’m trying hard to change - it’s difficult, I know I’m not the only one. I want to stick to low carb but each time I try, I fail. Maybe I shouldn’t look at eating this or that as a failure but I should just make my next meal low carb and not worry about it. Thanks for sharing😊
Tessie was just wondering if u ever had a Holly Hobie doll and do u like them .I just had to get another one after our fire cause it was a part of my child hood just like raggedy Ann and Andy and little house on prairie Walton's etc .Glad u are feeling better .❤️Thank u for your videos ,I enjoy watching it make my day ,from one friend to the next from VA.Hope u and hubby and rest of your family have a peaceful ,fun relaxing and blessed weekend.😇
Cutting out processed food will slash the grocery budget. We are (mostly) vegan for health reasons but our grocery bill is significantly lower than everyone else I know. Meat and dairy are expensive! I don't worry about organic. My garden is organic. 😃
@@HomesteadTessie Lol, there's a certain amount of credit card charges I need each month to get interest in a savings account with the same bank, so I hand it out to my favorite TH-camrs. This month I got backed up 😆
Good Morning Tessie, Sisters, Brothers, and Friends, Wish you all a wonderful blessed Wednesday filled with Gods Joy and Happiness :-) Remember to pray for one another and for all around the world :-) God Bless You ! Love you all :-) Keep Smiling be safe :-)
Hey Tessie! My daughter has a channel called Healthy Elizabeth and she shows you how to eat healthy and everything she makes is amazing. It's healthy and she has a lot of easy recipes. Just something to consider! So glad you are working on your health! ❤️ 😊
I’m here because you are who you are. It’s refreshing to watch a Christian TH-camr. It’s peaceful. You are persevering running the race that lies before us all while keeping your eyes upon Jesus. TH-cam has a video out now (with ads) based on The American Girl Doll Samantha. One of my favorite movies is Love Comes Softly. It the type of thing that interests me and keeps me coming back to your channel. It’s a life style that holds a lot of charm to me. God bless ❤
I cook up my chicken breasts in the crock pot as well, then to shred it I use my electric hand mixer, it will shred that chicken alot faster than doing it by hand. The longer you shred the finer the chicken or less time it will be a chunky shred.
I feel so much better not doing McD, Taco, and BK! Other places should go as well. I watched as you joyfully ate at McD and just wondered. Lost 13 pounds one year just by not drinking soda pop!

Tessie, food addiction is a real thing. I have surely been through that. You are not alone. 😊❤

This is what I like about you, you are yourself and you love your TH-cam people community. May the Lord continue to bless and keep you. ♥️
Happy you’re feeling better, I’m trying to eat better, more fruits and vegetables! I use my crockpot most days!

You Ms Tessie are in a SUPER position for getting rid of commercially processed foods. Those foods have 2 or more ingredients plus "extras. Many of these things can be made at home without the "extras" because well, they are simply made with 2 or more ingredients. And, you have the skill, tools, a d equipment to do so; probably a recipie or two in a cookbook too.
I love what you found at the thrift shop, the vintage tea towels, and the cute old-fashioned doll. I love your fall display and the pretty picture that you were given. Your wanting to eat healthier has inspired me and I am on a quest to try to eat healthier as well, thank you as always for sharing your life with all of us. You are a blessing.❤
I love to stay in the present💕 Chronic illnesses make that necessary, and also keeps my mind clear. ☺
I love watching you opening your parcels❤
How can a fan send you a gift . I love your show. You are very inspiring. Thank you for your encouraging words.

Oooh yes love the doll. For food yes eating lots of veggies and plenty of real food is more filling than the processed food. And I know that eating right is hard and I'm still trying. God bless you and your family with love.
Thank you Tessie I am jumping on that wagon with you starting tomorrow eating healthy. Going to try to be up lifted see the good in things! Going to follow your videos as always for help.
Hello Tessie!

Tessie, I ate after my Mom passed. My feelings. When I got my blood work done, I wasn't surprised. I have lost weight. Because Blue Bell not here anymore. And I am trying. But I do have cheat days. But I have to be careful. Love ya. Take care of you. Deborah.
Glad you’re feeling better. Better eating habits help to grow older with out a lot of meds. Love the doll. Thanks for the video.
So glad to see this! So many people are saving money by eating unhealthy portions of "filler" foods. Sure, if you're truly starving, anything is better than nothing, but that's not always the case. Our health will suffer. We are also trying low cost healthy whole foods 🙂
Those fall decorations are adorable!
You have it correct....you have to fo it for you....number 1! I'm going through this now. Prep is the most important part. You will do great! ❤❤❤
Aww! Big big hug. X
You're looking healthier and happier too.😊 We are all a work in progress, that's for sure. All we can do is our best to take care of the body we've been given..keep His temple clean with good foods that He has made.🫐🥦🥬🍅🍇🍌🫑🧄😋 But we have to enjoy our favorites now and then too. 🍫☕
Blessings & Shalom to everyone. ❤
Good evening from Northern Wisconsin!❤
Great video
It is so good to see you feeling better❤😊
Tessie, It's Lovely To See You Back And Looking So Well!
We Are ALL A Work In Progress And As Long As You Take Things Slowly-- One Day At A Time Sweet JESUS -- You Will Get There My Friend!
GOD Bless, Andrea

I Hope That You Are Having A Great Evening Too My Friend

I don't want a professional You-Tuber! I want a down to earth You-Tuber....and that is what I found i your channel and in you! So glad you are starting your new way of eating and I know you will feel so much better! As long as you check carbs and limit them to under 20-30 grams a day and eliminate all the processed foods and ingredients( if you cannot pronounce it....don't eat it!!!)you will do fine! If it does not walk around or fly or swim, don't eat it! If it does not grow in the ground, on a bush or on a tree.....don't eat it! In the Bible, the Lord tells us how we should eat and what He has provided for us to eat! Granted some of it is relevant to the Jewish faith, but still applies to everyone! When you start looking at carbs, you will be surprised at how much you can eat without overdoing it! Generally eliminating "white" foods, cover a lot of the "bad" foods we should eliminate! Unfortunately, the Amish and Mennonite way of eating are very high in carbs! ( but delicious!!....that's the problem) But the primary ingredient to avoid is white sugar and corn syrup!!!! Natural sweeteners are better if you need some sweetener, but used sparingly!(natural, pure maple syrup, stevia, ( you can grow it in your garden, dry it and grind it into a powder) monkfruit, and a few others you can look up. Any bread you buy at the store is considered "processed" and probably be avoided( with the exception of organic sourdough bread, it is fermented) Your homemade bread is most likely healthier than store bought. Ezekiel bread is mentioned in the Bible with the ingredients! The wheat we use today(GMO) is not the same wheat that was used years ago, and our body does not recognize what to do with it. Bread made with ancient grains( look them up) is much better than our bread made with our GMO wheat flour. The flour used in Europe is not GMO and is regulated by law and their breads and pastas are healthier than ours! They can eat the bread and noodles and not gain the weight or have the health issues that we have! I don't think they even have much, if any, gluten intolerance! So, my prayers are with you on your food journey, and I know you will do fine! God Bless!😊❤🙏
lol. I literally straight up thought about the canned Nacho cheese🤪
I'm so late, but love you all and Tessie too
Good evening Ellie Eckhardt :-)
We are glad u filling better. I'm an sematic when they told me to stop eating dairy it was hard but now I can't eat it at all it bothers me I don't miss it much and my collateral went down twenty points. Points. So it all good. Enjoy thrifty Thursday doll is really cute. Fall is my favorite time if the year
Best wishes and blessings for your journey Tessie!!!🪻💕
All very nice.
Cute doll.
So glad you’re feeling better Tessie 😊
You’re doing well, good for you! I’m all about some food - I’ve always been that way. I hate that I’m like this. I’m trying hard to change - it’s difficult, I know I’m not the only one. I want to stick to low carb but each time I try, I fail. Maybe I shouldn’t look at eating this or that as a failure but I should just make my next meal low carb and not worry about it. Thanks for sharing😊
Glad you’re feeling better
Tessie was just wondering if u ever had a Holly Hobie doll and do u like them .I just had to get another one after our fire cause it was a part of my child hood just like raggedy Ann and Andy and little house on prairie Walton's etc .Glad u are feeling better .❤️Thank u for your videos ,I enjoy watching it make my day ,from one friend to the next from
VA.Hope u and hubby and rest of your family have a peaceful ,fun relaxing and blessed weekend.😇
I don't have any Holly hobby but I do remember the doll and I used to love the activity books with Holly Hobbie
Cutting out processed food will slash the grocery budget. We are (mostly) vegan for health reasons but our grocery bill is significantly lower than everyone else I know. Meat and dairy are expensive! I don't worry about organic. My garden is organic. 😃
Thanks!
did I say hip hip hurray celebrate good times come on
@@HomesteadTessie Lol, there's a certain amount of credit card charges I need each month to get interest in a savings account with the same bank, so I hand it out to my favorite TH-camrs. This month I got backed up 😆
Good Morning Tessie, Sisters, Brothers, and Friends, Wish you all a wonderful blessed Wednesday filled with Gods Joy and Happiness :-) Remember to pray for one another and for all around the world :-) God Bless You ! Love you all :-) Keep Smiling be safe :-)
Good morning Owen
Yes ma’am. Eliminate those foods that inflame us. 💜
Hey Tessie! My daughter has a channel called Healthy Elizabeth and she shows you how to eat healthy and everything she makes is amazing. It's healthy and she has a lot of easy recipes. Just something to consider! So glad you are working on your health! ❤️ 😊
Thank you so much my friend I will check out her channel
I’m here because you are who you are. It’s refreshing to watch a Christian TH-camr. It’s peaceful. You are persevering running the race that lies before us all while keeping your eyes upon Jesus.
TH-cam has a video out now (with ads) based on The American Girl Doll Samantha. One of my favorite movies is Love Comes Softly. It the type of thing that interests me and keeps me coming back to your channel. It’s a life style that holds a lot of charm to me. God bless ❤
And I love and appreciate you very much!
God bless my friend. I am praying for you
I appreciate that
I cook up my chicken breasts in the crock pot as well, then to shred it I use my electric hand mixer, it will shred that chicken alot faster than doing it by hand. The longer you shred the finer the chicken or less time it will be a chunky shred.
I feel so much better not doing McD, Taco, and BK! Other places should go as well. I watched as you joyfully ate at McD and just wondered. Lost 13 pounds one year just by not drinking soda pop!
