I totally agree with you. In 2003 I was severely depressed with two 3 year olds that I didn’t know how I was going to raise them. I was 326 lbs and their father had cheated on me several times I felt worthless. I was so desperate I had roux en y gastric bypass. I refinanced my house to have this surgery my insurance deemed it cosmetic even with physician letters. I had already had a back surgery at 19 yo. A year after WLS I had a full belt skin removal. No one talks about the depression you also get from the cosmetic surgery. The pain, the inability to be mobile, the drains and the medicine after two weeks of all this I cried for no reason. None of these things made me feel better about myself. I still had a low self esteem, I still felt huge @ 145 lbs, I still struggled with food addiction. I learned how to manipulate my tool (my pouch) and ate things I shouldn’t. After some years I gained some weight back. Although my surgeon said I was one of his most successful WLS I didn’t feel successful. I gained to 210 lbs and depressed again then I found keto. I felt keto help me understand that I do have an addiction, I started healing my mind, body and my soul.
I wish for all of us we learn to love ourselves and know how we look in the outside doesn’t fix how we feel on the inside. We have to work in the inside and then the outside will come. I wish I knew that. I did it backwards.
Thank you for sharing Myra. I have been a follower for many years.
Beth I really hope things are working out for you now, both MENTALLY and EMOTIONALLY. I agree that love OF yourself and FOR yourself DEFINITELY has to come from the INSIDE. It's ok that you did it "backwards". The point is you made mistakes (like the rest of us) and you obviously have learned from them (like MOST of us). In the end it will make you a excellent woman, better person and an awesome mom. Hang in there pumpkin with BOTH hands and both feet if you need too!
@@sugarbaby685 Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words. ❤️
I'm happy you feel better.
Thank you Beth!! You inspire me 🙏🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 blessings
I wish you the best. Second I had the crying for no reason. Once I began taking vitamin B complex the deep sad depression lifted. Whenever I begin feeling down I'm usually deficient. Just thought I would offer that to you.
Thank you mija for sharing. I found you on the tiki toki and started following on your other platforms. I lost 65 lbs in 2019 and gain back 17 during pandemic I am crushed. I am the only one to blame for stopping my workouts. You motivate me!!! 💪 thank you!!
They never tell you everything.it’s good how you did it. I just quit drinking soda and eating chips: I lost 65 pounds in 6 months
Blessings 🙌
That’s amazing and congrats! I made the decision to get the surgery after the weight loss and low carb is what helped me lose my first 100lbs! I had to stop eating chips too ❤️
Yeah we all had to quit eating chip!
@@LowCarbLove what surgery? You mean the skin tightening surgery?
Wow wish it were that easy😮😊❤
love that you were absolutely transparent and honest about the mindset.. I absolutely love this.. I had surgery, lost tons of weight, didn't work out and loved myself.. I now live a Keto Lifestyle and I love that I was in the right mind. realistic expectations
thanks for the real, open and honest talk on this subject, Myra. I think it's so much more important now today than ever. People need to understand that they need to love themselves first because the surgery isn't gonna do that for them. Congratulations on all your success so far and continued success in the future.
you really hit all the ups and downs with any type of diet or surgery and yes more on a personal level .i also praise you for being always honest with everything! and please keep those recipes coming maybe you should do a cook book ! TTYL ✌ ❤
Thank you so much! Let me know if I missed anything. I was a little scared to put out this video and I appreciate all the love ❤️
I till feel I have a little pouch after my tt😂 and I work so hard! Consistency is key and surgery is never perfect. 😊
I love 171 pounds. I don't have my dream body either but I did see a difference right away after I had a body lift. I was blessed not to have the bloating afterwards. Now I have to work to maintain the loss but I'm pretty happy with the way I look now and have accepted that I will never look like those models. You really got it right about the change within yourself, though. Like anything else, it takes time to feel good about who you are inside. Congratulations on your weight loss but I'm glad you're talking about this part of the journey. It's true that it's not spoken about enough.
I’ve lost 318lbs and this really is helping me prepare mentally I have 80 more pounds to lose before I get the surgery
What an accomplishment. Congratulations.
I agree. What an accomplishment. God Bless you!!
@@Pahrump why skip the surgery and I’m down by 340lbs now
@@BrainBoop That’s amazing
@@Pahrump It’s prob to remove excess skin.
I love this!!!! Mental health is so important. I think that’s why I’ve gained and lost multiple times… I never really dealt with the inner demons. Therapy is the best thing I’ve done for myself. Looking forward to skin removal surgery- hopefully at the end of next year. Thanks for sharing. ❤️
You are so right on!!! I had my tummy tuck 26 yrs ago and still after I had it, my weight still went up and down. I am 66 and my highest weight known was 303. I lost the weight 3 times only to gain it back. I have been keto for 5 yrs now and have maintained my weight loss but, like you said, it is in your head. You need to know why you eat. I wish I had known this when I was a lot younger! Thank you for all your honesty, it is hard work but, worth it!!!
Ugh, the drains were the worst part of surgery. I’m totally happy with the imperfect results of my tummy tuck because it gave me a bit of body confidence I never had-being able to wear jeans without having to cover my belly with a tunic. Like you, the big scar doesn’t bother me. It was well worth it.
I appreciate your transparency and common sense approach to weight loss, surgery, snd especially health!
It was, and I feel like many people don’t talk about it! They just see the results and I know a lot of people think it’s easy. Definitely worth it at the end of the day ❤️

The LORD made you beautiful just the way you are girl! I’m so thankful for your videos. I’ve been watching them all week. As of tomorrow I will have completed my first week on keto. I am enjoying your clear cut and honest videos. Thank you for sharing your story! You are helping so many people. ❤
I have 3 friends that have had weight loss surgery. All 3 have gained a lot or all of their weight back. Doing it slowly and naturally in my opinion is the best way. Not an easy way, but sustainable. It is a personal choice. Blessings.
Your right.
The truth is no one makes you feel any particular way, we chose to feel the way we do. You are gorgeous. Inside and out. TY.
Thanks for making this video. Not because of the weight loss stuff, although I lost 80 on my own with diet as a younger girl, gain it back plus a lot more, lost 60lbs in the last few years, on my own, but because because of what you said at the end. Focus on your health or you have nothing. I'm diabetic and needed to hear that. I eattike crap and need to eat right! Love ya girl! 😘
Thank you for this! I struggle with everything you spoke of! I used to think 'i will be happy when I lose weight', not true. You have to work on it! Everything is work! I have lost 134 pounds, switched to clean eating. I have the hang, turkey wings, lol & it's ok. I have the same body dysmorphia, my head still thinks I am fat. I wear a size small now, I still struggle. There are no instant fixes. But the work is so worth it!
You are such a genuine honest and helpful person. I love your channel.
👍🏻 Health first, weight second!! Great advice and so right!!
I recently have lost 50 pounds.. I have some sagging skin too, but I’m ok with it. I have 5 kids, and stretch marks to go with it! I’m on this journey to better health and I am so happy!! Yes, I have some thoughts that I look fat still, but I know I have come a long way! I want to lose 25 more pounds, so thank you for this video!!
Thank your being honest. I am starting intermittent fasting today after 3 kids, multiple failed diets. You inspired me!
Thank you for keeping this topic as real as you did! The mental and emotional aspects of ones health/weight loss journey is so important and really needs to be talked about openly more often.
This so resonates with me. I am getting ready to have WLS, but when I was 15, I started dieting and I got to my goal weight my Jr. year in high school. I was so disappointed because even though the weight on the scale was good, I still looked like a linebacker for my school football team. :( I was so disillusioned because I thought I would be small like my sister and my mom. I wasn't prepared for the shock of realizing that no amount of exercise or fitness programs was ever going to make me a size 2 tiny person because I didn't have the bone structure to ever look like that. It totally messed with my idea of what a thin person was. I didn't look like that nor would I ever, but no one ever explained that to me. The shock was something I don't think I ever got over.
Yes Mama 💯% yes. This was amazing. Authentic and honest. God bless you & your honesty. So so sooooo true!!
Thank you for the reminder about having realistic goals. I am also a larger girl and have been wishing I was "smaller" like all my friends for my whole life. Getting in the right frame of mind at every point of your journey. Health matters!
I am on my weight loss journey now, I’ve done had back surgery due to a severely herniated disc, I couldn’t even walk due to it. I feel like crap a lot of days because I don’t see movement on the scale. I’ve had so much going on mental health wise as well. I’m struggling for real, but your recipes give me so much hope.
I just had my 5th child. I just started my weight loss journey at 210. My weight before children was 125 at 26 even after 4 children I was able to get back to my prepregnancy weight. Our 5th is an 8 yr gap and my weight is not coming off! Thank you for these videos. I will be binge watching all of them!
I love how when you were saying “you have a normal life” there was a guy behind you propping up a mirror; literally doing normal life things. That is the most refreshing thing I’ve seen in a TH-cam video because vloggers do everything to curate what real life stuff shows up on their screens.
The most real conversation! I had 3 friends do their stomach surgeries after having kids due to extra skin and non of them was satisfied or happy . They ended up looking exactly the same , they hate that huge scar , their stomachs got weird like bumps or balls, they got more fat in arms and face . And husbands also not satisfied with the results they preferred their natural instead of the scary big scar . They didn’t get skinnier they all stayed the same or got more weight.
I've watched so many of your videos and never knew you were as big as you were. Your channel is such an inspiration and you're such a beautiful person. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability with us-- it's such a hard thing to do.
This was an awesome video. As a nearly 6ft women, I feel your struggle. When I lose to much I feel like skin and bones and if I gain to much weight I feel like a giant. Thanks for being honest.
Thats rite, Health is important! I noticed when I started Keto.. my stomach is not as messed up💁♀️
I love your Journey, I had surgery after having my girls, and I do understand surgery is not for everyone, but Having a tummytuck and lipo, It did bring a new light in my life, my clothes look so much better, and its the best thing Ive done for myself.
I agree with you! I had a tummy tuck 6 years after the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery but I had a scar from my breast bone to pelvic bone, there's a transition but it's just another transition that doesn't define who you are as a person. The journey continues even with acceptance, you are who you are and that never changes!
Absolutely! Thank you so much for sharing JoAnn!
Omg! Thank you! Your honesty is refreshing. I’ve lost 150 pounds. I need skin reduction but I know how hard this is
Yes! Don't stop the cool recipes videos! I love them!
Yess please make a video about healing your body before loosing weight I'd love to hear
Thank you for this video. It was very honest and it's so important to know these things that you shared. Beautiful.
Thank you so much for sharing! I have followed you for over a year now. I am having the sleeve surgery on February 24th of 2023!
I am so happy I found you! You are so beautiful inside and out and you are helping me get motivated again. Thank you for being so raw and open. ♥️♥️♥️
Bless your soul for being so vulnerable to share your story. ♥️
Love ur message 💚💚 im starting my weight loss journey last month from 93 down to 87.. i start doing IF for one month and then now im doing Low Carb Keto diet.. thank you for ur inspirational messages.. 💚💚🇵🇭
Thank you for being so honest and real. This is more of what we need. ❤
Mental and EMOTIONAL homework... We must all take responsibility for this effort... Thank you, Mayra, for sharing your well grounded perspective on weight loss. We need to accept ourselves and our reality in order to properly address the problem solving process. Thanks for your candidness. 🙂🥕🥬🥑🥕🥬🥑
I would love to hear more about healing your metabolism! Thank you for your honesty and openness!
I love how you just open up and share your honest experience. I lost weight after my first pregnancy, about 15 years ago, and didn't have a loose skin problem. Now, I'm in my 40's and have lost 25 pounds, 75 pounds to go. I'm hoping my body bounces back like it did before, but even if it doesn't, I don't think I could ever do surgery. I had 2 C-sections and they were horrible. And now, I have a child with autism to care for as a single mom. I don't think there's anyway I could do it. The idea that we as women are expected to look perfect no matter what is so unrealistic. I want to love my body no matter the weight, no matter the tightness of my skin, etc. So thank you so much for this real talk. Love your channel.
I know of someone that even slept in compression wear as they lost the weight and they didn't have much excess skin - just a thought!
Thank you for being so honest. This is how I feel. I still feel fat after my huge weight loss. Everyone says I look great, but I can't see it.
Sweetie, along your journey, keep looking at your before and after pictures side by side while learning to love yourself, take care❣️👏👏👏
The funny thing is that as i watch this video and reflect on my own body issues, i see you as such a beautiful woman with such high self esteem. I would never think you have any body issues. I love that you are so down to earth. I feel like I'm listening to a friend rather than stranger. Thank you for sharing. ♥️
You are helping a lot of people! Thank you! God bless you and your family!
Well said!! And regarding the SM people we strive to emulate, like you said, they eat, sleep & breathe fitness and diet and how they look. Their image is their bread and butter. They have all sorts of procedures and injections and STILL tweak their pics so they look flawless. It’s all smoke and mirrors and makes no sense trying to compete with that. It’s actually a sad existence, in my opinion. Thank you so much for keeping it real, Mayra. I LOVE your channel and recipes. You’re awesome! 🥰
Thank you for discussing the mental health aspect of weight loss.
I definitely agree that a number on the scale shouldn’t dictate your happiness and hitting your goal weight is not going to be the end all be all cure to self confidence. However I do think it’s really rewarding when you’ve worked so hard dieting and exercising to look down and see you’ve accomplished what you set out to do. You have to acknowledge your progress.
There’s always going to be new goals and more things to improve on. Life is a journey and there’s not a single moment when you’ll be done working on yourself because you should always strive to do better. The important thing is accepting the things you can’t change and appreciating how far you’ve come.
You are so right. I got the gastric sleeve thinking that was going to make me a better person. WRONG! I lost weight but I went through depression because I couldn't eat. I couldn't drink so I was no longer social. Luckily I didn't deal with loose skin even thought I lost 100lbs. I got the surgery thinking my husband at that time was going to love me again. Well we still got a divorce and he remarried to a chubby girl 🤦🏻♀️. I was miserable for about 5yrs. I went through a whole process. 10yrs later I finally gave me a chance after I healed. I got remarried and had another baby. (Now I have a 17,14 & 1yr All boys) Now my stomach grew its normal size again and now I've gained back 50. Which I've lost 15lbs in one month. And I gotta say it's thanks to following you and just by eating healthy. 😍😘I'm super happy and on a healthy journey.
Thank You for sharing your journey with us. The good, the bad, and the ugly. 🤗
I've had the tummy tuck & had 5lbs removed from my body quite a few yrs ago. I congratulate you Myra😊
You are just an amazing person.. you are so sweet and honest and you always put your life out there.. love watching your videos.. you are helping so many people.. Thank you so much for all you do..
Thank you Mara for talking on this subject women need to here this ❤️
Yes,men do too
Thank you so much! This information is very helpful to know. It gives me inspiration to start my journey once again. You are so right it’s definitely for my health. It makes me sad that I’m losing out on the special moments with my 5yr old daughter. And I want to show her that her mommy had the will power and strength to make a change. 💖
Aww, your daughter already sees you as an inspiration and I hope you know that! ❤️ Enjoy those special moments and focus on health!
I just wanted to say I love your shows...Thank You, it's hard to find good and easy Keto recipes 😊
Omgosh - you're talking directly to me. Please tell us about how to get healthy first. Love your recipes and your life stories ❤.
I’m scheduled for a mommy makeover in February! I am so excited, I look at it as I am just going to be a more confident me!!! Thank you so much for sharing😊
I love your candor! You are an amazing individual, and I feel so blessed having come across one of your videos on Instagram. It was one of your recipes. I added you, and then I got to know a bit about you from the things you post. Your relationship, your weight-loss journey. Just a bit of your life in general. I, truly can't say enough good about the videos you post. You keep it real, and fun. May you be blessed with goodness as you bless those of us who seek your help and support on our journey, because you do support us and I am grateful!! Keep up the great videos.

Great job!! I appreciate your channel and I appreciate you! Keep making these great videos! 🙏
You’re really so wise and mature for your age. You’re a good role model for your girls your age or any age.
I loved this video.
Thanks for this video. The honesty, the transparency, the realness!
You are a real inspiration! Keep it going! We all need this Inspiration!
Thank you for sharing! I struggle and now I’m pre-diabetic. I’ve been taking care of myself without any meds though eating healthier and exercising. I’ve lost 30 lbs and doing good, it’s been three hard years. You’re very lucky you have found yourself. I would like to see a video about how you handle discussions with Nati. How are you guiding her. Again thank you for being so honest. ✨🌼
Alot of what you said, I can sure relate to. I'm 5ft and was 190 pounds now 103 thanks to low carb/keto lifestyle. I still look at myself and think I'm fat. Everyone tells me how great I look and I feel great. It's just taking some time to catch the vision in the mirror. I Love your cooking and love your honesty.
Wow.. May God Continue to Bless you with Health. Thank you for sharing, helping, & inspiring us. You help other more than you know. We appreciate you guys.
Omg I love your honesty I just love that you are so Honest about the struggle keep it up keep letting the truth be known that it’s not easy and it never ends do you have to work on the inside as much as you work on the outside
You’re so welcome! I want to make more of these videos because I know many people are struggling too. Let me know if you guys want more ❤️
We should not define ourself by our looks! Stop what’s on the inside and until we realize this we will not be happy! Love yourself no matter what! Thanks for giving us a realistic view of weight loss journeys!
Thank you so much for being open about this. I definitely want to have surgery. That being said though, I am scared. It's good to hear the truth that it isn't a magic fix. Still takes time and work. You have to still fix the inside more importantly than the out. Love your channel.
Thank you for sharing this. Very open and honest! I really enjoy your channel!
You’re so welcome! Thank you for being here :)
This is the content I love. Thank you for sharing. I have major intimacy issues.
Thank you Myra for sharing this with your audience ♥️
I am so glad to know that these weird feelings are pretty normal after weight loss. Ive lost 21 kl and feel like i look the same. People tell me i look great. Some days i feel great, other days, its a battle.
I appreciate your honesty and transprency. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thank you for your amazing honesty. The preconceived thought of how we are compared to magazine models is so unrealistic. Love you Girl. You are as beautiful inside as outside. Live life and be kind to ones self. You are an amazing person. Everyday, it's as though I have failed again when it comes to eating for the wrong reasons. Today is a fresh start. Your cooking videos are priceless😍😍😍😍👍
But having the surgery does give you more confidence, better self image, as well as not continually fighting against your body to get into clothes you like and want to wear. It gave me encouragement. JMO
Thank you for sharing. You mentioned healing your body and metabolic health before starting over.. I'd love to hear more on it
Best video ever. Conditional happiness is not real
I love how real you are ! Thank you
From the time I was Bron to where I am now in life I've always struggle with my weight 🥺 I've always been the "BIG" person in my family and I've hated it cause I grew up being called names from family members in school my whole life. 😪 and I wanna lose weight too be healthy and because on my dad's side has alot of health issues 😕 so thank you for your honesty 😊 and encouraging me what to look forward too !
Your bold, beautiful and blessed! ❤️ Thank you for sharing your journey.
Thank you for being honest with us and telling us this story.
Great advice. You're always so honest.
I can totally relate, im 5'11", tall, broad shoulders, big hands and feet, etc. I have been keto for 4 years, and kicking around lipo or tummy tuck, ugh. It's hard to hear the truth, but thank you for sharing.
This was a great video I am currently on a weight loss journey. At first is was just to lose weight after having my youngest son but now I see that all the other factors that go into loosing weight. Mental is just as important as physical
Thx for your generous testimony, and honest
I Love that you are so open and honest! I can relate to you in so many ways! I have not have surgery, but I have delta with my mental health with my weight since I was younger and really appreciate you talking about it open and Honestly! You are such a great inspiration ❤
I have lost 157 pounds three years. I always had a weight problem . need to lose 25 pounds more. It’s so hard harder now I think than ever. I’m going to try keto see if that don’t help I was counting calories and just eating healthy to lose what I’ve lost. My arms are so stretched out I wear a size larger clothes because of my arms thank you so much for sharing this you’re telling the truth I’m 67 please don’t wait till it’s old as I am to start doing something in your 60s. If you can’t do anything else just eat healthy and walk and then move on to cutting it down more and more that’s what I did❤🙏🙌🙏 I knew if I didn’t do something I would wander bedridden
I’m so happy to have found your channel. Your such an inspiration. I can relate to everything your saying. Thank you for sharing.
You have hit it right on the head. Thank you for being so up front.
I'd love a video on all of your surgeries and your mindset around them. I've been trying to determine if I want to have surgery for myself or to fix a feeling, it's so hard to tell
I love how open you are. Myra, you are beautiful inside and out even if you were to gain some more weight back. I admire you. I don't think Donnie deserves you. You deserve someone who be there even if you gained 30 pds. and who would give you marriage and the babies you wanted. Ty for the video!!!
Yes we do for our selves and health exactly!
finaly a honest youtuber
Thank you for this video. I have wanted a tummy tuck since the age of 27, I am 34 now. I had twins at 22 and before that I was always tiny. As I got older I gained so much weight, and my stomach bothered me so much.
The only reason why I haven't got a tummy tuck is because I have been so afraid of surgery and the recovery. Anyways, I recently started working out and eating better. I haven't stepped on the scale but I definitely see my body becoming more toned and my clothes is fitting better. In the past I have lost weight by eating super healthy and working out but I stopped and I gained the weight back. So this time, I am being more patient and not being as strict with my foods and being obsessed with the scale. I look at my stomach now and it doesn't bother me as much. I told myself I would keep working out n keep changing my eating habits and in a year if i feel that i need the tummy tuck I would get it.
Agreed 💯! I’m glad I did everything I did to lose the weight, but it’s not a cure all. And body dysmorphia is REAL. Sometimes I look in the mirror and feel like I haven’t even changed, when In reality I’ve lost almost 100lbs. It’s difficult because you need to learn to love yourself in a new way.. worth it, but it’s not easy!
Thank you for being so honest and real. 🤗
Thanks for your honest input on this!
