I am still at the beginning of weightloss. I haven't stopped lying about everything food related to myself, but i have stopped lying to myself about how uncomfortable I am at the size I am. I dont like it. It hurts , its embarrassing, its uncomfortable. I will never get anything changed if i keep telling myself that everything is fine. Its not! A person my height should never be this heavy! I am carrying 2 people around all day. The start is a good hard look in the mirror. And not being okay with it.
I am totally with you! Same exact situation - so darn uncomfortable in my own body.
Good for you! Well done. You can do it. Consistency, one day after another...
You’ve got this. Day by day you’ll get to your goal. Stay consistent, be kind and moderate to yourself, believe it is possible.
You deserve to enjoy health and mobility. Go for it!
What happens if this time you don't give up? This is opening my mind. Maybe it will help you.... Carla said it!
Alcohol and food go hand in hand for me. I've been drinking every single evening. I know not drinking will really push my weight loss to take off. I am 5 days sober and feel so motivated!
proud of you! five days sober is a great achievement!
@@olivialewis1027 thank you! Every day feels better and better 🤍
Wow, that’s great. Just heard of a podcast called, “Taking a Break” for stopping alcohol. I thought I might give a listen. Maybe it will help you too.
@@barbiec4312 thank you, I definitely will! Anything might help :)
I have to stop lying to myself. I'm doing an okay job at losing weight...lost 23 pounds so far...but I am terrible about lying about the quantity and quality of the foods I choose. Constantly tell myself that it doesn't matter that much! Going to work on this! Thanks Carla!
I do this too, I'm so grateful for Carla's honesty here ❤
⭐ Thanks for this. The "stop lying to yourself" hits home. I need to stop lying about my portion sizes. That's my biggest challenge. Just because I'm not eating after 7pm doesn't mean the calories of my double or triple portion of pasta at lunch won't add up. Even if my dinner is a salad. I've gotten the habit of intermittent fasting, now I need to get my calories under control.
⭐️ Thank you so much. I stopped under-eating and over exercising, oddly enough. I looked at 5 different calculators for me age and height and averaged them. Turns out I needed MORE calories than MyFitnessPal said. I started loosing weight and have consistently. I became kinder to myself and only exercise for fun and endorphins and because it feels good. Not as a punishment or to “burn” off overeating. 28 pounds and counting. My mindset has changed and that’s where it all begins. And ends, frankly.
I went on TH-cam looking for inspiration & came across your channel. You have not disappointed! Alot of your content I have learned from my own experience & research but it is SO inspiring & affirming hearing it from someone who has been there! I've had SO many starts and forgive me for the term "fell off the wagon". I've decided to do this for me. 2 months ago I asked a sweet friend of mine if she would pray for me on my journey...bless her heart, she set an alarm to remind her & continues to pray for my journey daily! What an amazing friend! That is when I was able to stay on track!! I'm still in the weight loss part of the journey but I'm going in for the lifestyle ...this is going to be my new me even in maintenance phase! I've lost 27 lbs and have 27 more to go to my goal.
⭐ ⭐ ⭐
The "stop lying to yourself" is huge. I'm working on that and I'm getting better in recognicing "the voice" when it pops up.
Also: not invoking loopholes is something I'm working on. I don't need to eat bc I had a bad day., or bc I'm happy today - insert any reason here.
That work will stand to you Ellen 🖤
Do I celebrate loss with food? Do I allow a cheat day?Yes. You're right. That's cheating myself and prolonging the weight loss period. Thanks for your videos.
Thank you for adding not to do cheat days!! I have always hated that cause once I start that, I can't get off the cheat train..one bite is too much a thousand not enough
Yes THIS. Cheat days to me imply there's something 'missing'
If you're cooking right and have the right mindset you shouldn't feel there's something missing!
You're living healthily for you to lose weight and gain fitness and health!!! ❤
I woke up to a two pound loss! Your videos are so inspiring...
That's awesome!
Rationalization is the saboteur of people trying to lose weight! Absolutely agree that it's about changing your mindset on achieving your weight loss/maintenance goals! Not telling a lot of people applies to other areas of your life. I've learned to keep my plans to myself and let the results do the talking.
Couldn’t agree more Sherry, keep your mouth shut and let them wonder 😂
🌟I really resonated with not lying yourself. I’ve called it no longer making excuses to myself. Yesterday I was still sick with a cold, but I could walk. I’m done lying to myself and making excuses. I’m going to respect myself instead.
The lying and cheat days are so true. I stopped buying food that I know are too tempting for me with the delusion that I could just resist them or that I should be able to resist them. That is the lying part as well as setting myself ip for feeling bad 🌟
Because of you I found BodySlims and have lost 35lbs so far! I’ve saved some of your vids to my morning walk playlist and I listen to your tips after my gratitude and visualizations. Thank you so much for sharing ! And congratulations on your baby! Thanks again! All the best to you :-)
That’s amazing well done!!
I needed this chat this morning. I weighed in today. It really puts things in the right perspective. I am mindful when I eat something as a treat while staying within my personal points. My husband is now following me in my diet. I told him to stop telling me how much he was losing weekly because it was frustrating for me. He gives up eating a cracker and drops 10 pounds! LOL🌟
I was so upset this morning because I put on 2 pounds and I don’t know why. It feels like a slap in the face because I could’ve eaten McDonald’s for 2 pounds. I almost decided to COMPLETELY trash this whole day calorie-wise (I know that makes no sense), but I went looking for one of your videos instead. OK…I decided I will NOT cheat on myself. Thank you. ⭐️
Well done Lynne, it's keeping yourself in that consistent mode will really help you. Just remember that the scales can fluctuate for any number of reasons xx
It’s not just what you say - and that in itself is so valuable-but the way you say it. You truly are a talented and skilled broadcaster ⭐️
That therapy work and journaling sure made you wise. ❤😊 you're like the little self-care angel on my shoulder reminding me of the important stuff and the reason WHY I'm doing this. Thank you!
💥 I've stopped telling everyone. I've stopped believing I am going to be perfect. I've stopped believing that you have to be a very special and unusual person to lose weight. I've started believing that I can do this.
⭐️🌟✨I am stopping giving up at the first bump. I would always go well I ate chips/had candy/ whatever “bad” food, guess I may as well not even diet anymore. Now I can have those things, and even when I have too much, I can say it’s okay, you can make a better choice next time, it’s okay, you still worked really hard today.
Carla, there is so much wisdom in this video! I've lost 90 pounds since last May, but am struggling to keep the momentum up, for most of the reasons you've discussed here. I'm recommitting today to stop lying to myself and CONSISTENTLY do the things I know will help me reach my goals. I am going to return to this video for motivation. Thanks so much!
Suggesting you listen to Pahla Bower’s podcast about weight-loss mindset for support. Game changer for me. Might help you or someone else here too. Keep up the good work.
⭐️⭐️ I watched the whole video and that’s exactly what I’ve stopped doing is trying to take short cuts. I’ve realized that my journey to health is and will be life long now. It doesn’t end at goal weight. Thank you for the inspiration ❤🇨🇦
Thank you for being so authentic and informative from your heart and your lived experiences 🌈
🌟 Such a great video. I've stopped rigidly sticking to intermittent fasting and break it when my body is ready to eat (I've also stopped breaking my fast with less nutritious foods).
Carla, you are very inspiring and have such strength of mind and heart - I'm so grateful you have the courage to share all that you do to help the rest of us. Would you mind talking about what happened to get you started and how did you get the momentum to lose weight and continue forward. What was the mind shift that made this time the last time? Maybe you've already talked about this but I'd love to hear more. I get started and within three or four days I'm flat on my face again. You live in one of the most beautiful places on earth. I hope to visit Ireland someday. ☺️ kind regards from the USA🌠
Hello, I wanted to answer something you said about motivation. I really struggled to ever “feel” like it. It always seemed incredibly hard to just start. I finally read somewhere that motivation only comes after not before. It comes after you’ve taken your walk. It will come after you’ve meal prepped for the week. Action creates the motivation so start and the motivation will follow 😊❤🇨🇦
Hi Carla. New to your channel but you've inspired me. I'm going to watch older videos but what I've seen so far has resonated deeply. I'm hoping with this re-start, I can be successful.
Thank you for your honesty and sincerity.
Thank you for making this video. The last one really hit home for me - I think it’s some thing that we never realize we’re doing… I can’t tell you how inspiring your transparency is to all of us on similar journeys 💗
⭐⭐⭐- Not lying to myself and not telling people (except a select few) about my journey this time has been key to my weight loss. I knew I couldn't lie to myself because at the end of the day, there was no one else there except me and the only one who knew the lies was me and once I stopped doing that I stopped harming myself the way that lying harms those you do it to. And I only told one person at work when I started because I knew she would be my cheerleader and then I wouldn't be able to say no to her when she wanted to walk. Lol. I did tell my mom, sister, and my doctor. But that was it. And it was such a gift. Thank you for this video and all the ones you've done!
Thank you I needed to hear this 🌟
Another great video Carla ☆
⭐️ Thank you! This is really helpful.
Thank you! Such great advice!! I appreciate you so much! 🌸
⭐️ You are seriously changing my life! I’ll eventually tell you how but I’m also in that phase where my head is down, I’m doing the work, and I’m a sponge for knowledge. One day at a time. I’ll let you know when I get there but for the time being, keep the videos coming. You are giving me so much to get me through this (strength, wisdom, encouragement, relatability, tips, positivity just to name a few). Thank you Carla! So much love being sent to you from Tampa, Florida! ❤
⭐️Very inspiring video! Thank you!

Excellent advice
excellent tips. very helpful to me. thank you.
@Carla this wisdom is so very helpful and I’m especially grateful to hear it right now as I’m recently back on track to get to my goal weight this year. Honestly I can relate to some version of all the five things you’ve said and I think that not really looking at it (as you said kind of lying to oneself about it all) has been a definite issue. I’m glad to hear about all your strategies and I’m recommitting to my own journey right now! xo
i listened to your whole video without interruption!
you are soo right about every word🥰you inspire me to be a better version of myself🥰❤️thank you
⭐ Great video! I love that reminder to be honest with ourselves and to hold ourselves accountable.
* Thank you. This is a powerful video.
⭐️I appreciate this video! Thank you! I liked the bit about cheat days and how you have to look at weight loss time versus maintenance time. That’s a life changing point!
Thank you for this video. The honesty you show is really inspiring, in all the best ways. ⭐
Thank you for all your videos. They’ve helped me so much. I usually look at the comments and take a screenshot of what you say but I always listen to the end your words give me inspiration so I’d like to hear what you have to say. Thank you again.
⭐️ Love the end 🤩
Great video! You have such meaningful information to share. Thanks for sharing with us. You are amazing! 🌟💖

Thank you!!! This was so very very helpful!! ❤️ 💙 💜
So True I do it all at time. But no I got to stop it.Thank You for being Truthful with us.❤😢😊
Powerful messages here and some solid journalling promps to turn inward. Staying in your own lane hit home, I feel the inspired, forward action behind these words . Thank you for gifting your time, Carla 🖤
Friends, this video is worth watching all the way. Carla, love the dress! This is one of your best videos. Thank you so much for always being honest with yourself and us. ⭐️
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and journey. It home with me and now I am starting to get more results with my weight loss. Have hit a plateau for about 10 days, and now realize how many little cheats are being consumed every day, even though the foods are healthy. The little lies of it’s just a little, or cottage cheese is protein so it’s ok, has been the mindset of lying to myself. Thank you for sharing truths that let us get on with it, and see results!
🌟 I always watch your vidoes thoroughly and actually go back to your old videos! Thank you for being so transparent. I totally agree with you for not sharing yori weight loss. I was doing extremely well and this person wanted to know “how” I did it. She wanted to join my journey. As soon as she did my journey went downhill because the things i was keeping track of were so important to me. She simply said nah let’s not do this and that etc. 🌟
⭐ Wonderful video Carla! Thank you so much. I can definitely relate to being "good" during the work week and then go off the rails all weekend. And then wonder why I didn't lose weight. Really sounded like a ridiculous mindset when I heard it out loud. I definitely need to stop the madness of lying to myself. Thanks again for sharing your amazing insight. Please keep it coming. 🖤⭐
⭐️ I WILL stop with the ‘cheat’ days. You are so right!
⭐ thanks Carla!
I just love your videos. You are so honest and real. Very inspiring xx
Thank you so much Suzanna 🖤
🌟 Thanks for this video! You're a big inspiration to me at the moment.
Hi, I usually comment to you on Instagram but I just loved this video and wanted to say thank you for it. What really spoke to me was the lying to yourself. The sprays of olive oil!!!! It’s so true. This is the first week where I was able to walk every day no matter what. Also the first week where I’ve been using My Fitness Pal and entering all my food down to the amount of olive oil! I didn’t lose what I wanted to for Weigh in Wednesday but I feel lighter and happier and determined. So thank you! 🤩🖤⭐️
Ooof the end of that was powerful. Stop lying to yourself. Build an honest and trust-filled relationship with myself. Wow. ⭐
🌟 love the idea of being true to yourself and only yourself ⭐️ thank you 💫
It’s the only opinion that truly matters xx
You are such a beauty. Thank you for your great content. I’ve done exactly what you said but not a curly whirly. More a donut and a bag of pretzels! I have a different mindset now and Am accountable to myself…. Showing myself. Self love. ❤️. Thank you lovely lady
I love this video and everything you shared was needed specially not sharing our goals with others ❤️🙏🏻
Keep it to yourself 🖤🖤🖤
For the past year,I have been giving myself an "off" day each week to feel normal. I wanted to be appear to be able to go out and be like everyone else. This worked for the first 100 lbs. Now almost 6 months after my Thanksgiving binge-fest, I have lost only 13 lbs. So I went shopping for fitted pants (no more elastic waists!) to see my true progress. I could squeeze into 16W bc it fit my hips perfectly (squat test and all). 18W fit my waist, but was baggy in the hips. So I am somewhere in between. Yay! The scale doesn't show the inches lost (still wearing 24W straight or tent dresses). Still, "off days" are "cheat days". I need to go all in! My new treat will be buyiing 2 or 3 outfits every month in whatever size I am. Looking foward to June's shopping spree!
⭐️ Thanks!
THANK YOU!! ⭐️🌟✨💫
Carla, thank you so much. I am in tears right now -- this video completely resonated with me. I lie to myself. When you said that you used to reward yourself with food after a weight loss -- I felt suckered punched. Oh my gosh, that's what I do. i never called myself out for it and always justified conversations in my own head. What a difference it makes when someone says it out loud. I greatly limit social media in my life I am so grateful that your videos came into my view please keep up the great work, know that you are making a difference to individual lives. Thank you Carla.✨️
⭐Thanks for this message! So much wisdom and motivation here. Greetings and gratitude from Canada! :)
