- The last week and a half has proven to be too much for me and I've fallen back into some old destructive habits and beating myself up about it big time.

No one is perfect. You aren't screwing up dear. You are living the life of an imperfect human and it does help us other imperfect humans realize we aren't perfect either. It's called life and you are winning! Look at what you've accomplished and how many you have inspired and helped along your journey. Chin up pretty girl. You are doing beautifully. I'm proud of you.
Thank you, Sherrie. ❤️
This!!
So sweet ❤❤❤❤❤
Give yourself grace, time and respect. We all deserve it. Give yourself a huge hug from all your viewers who absolutely adore you and just know we're thinking and praying for you. You got this too.
Thanks, Suzanne. ❤️
Hey friend, I came on your channel to let you know that I made the decision this week to stop taking Wegovy. I know it’s not a coincidence that you were releasing a video at the same time. It sucks what you are going through with your family right now. You do need to give yourself grace. You are correct that our lives are more than just about losing weight. You have nothing more to prove because you’ve already proven you can lose weight. Losing over 100lbs is no joke. Whatever you’ve gained, you will lose again. As for me, I can’t take the nausea, constipation and the daily hangover feeling. My family is fully supportive and for that I’m appreciative. I’m going to take the 27lb weight loss that Wegovy gave me and run with it. I know it won’t be easy with the food noise returning, but I’m going to do it. I will check in on you from time to time. I’m praying for you. Valerie.
I know you can do this. I've said from the beginning that Wegovy is just one tool in your arsenal. It's a big one... but I know you can do it without it. I'm rooting for you, friend. Can't wait to hear how things are going. ❤️
How long have you been taking Wegovy? I’ve been on it 1 yr 4 months. I’ve lost 35 lbs but need to lose another 30. My experience was that i had indigestion and diarrhea up until month 10 then it stopped. BUT the food noise sorta comes back too, even while on Wegovy. In four months I’ve only lost 2 lbs.
@@christymaffei6748 Hi. I was on it for 3 months. I could only tolerate the .50 dosage. It worked great on me as far as an appetite suppressant. I also had indigestion pretty bad too with a lot of sulfur burps. I did lose 27lbs but the side effects were more than I could handle.
I love watching your videos because you are so open and honest with us. I feel like even days like this you are an encouragement. You are real. Life is always giving us ups and downs and no mater where any of us are at in our journey we are learning. At the beginning, middle or at the end of our journey we are learning. We love you for being real with us. I wish you all the prayers and support to get you through this. ❤❤
🫂💕💜
Mindy, despite your setbacks and sadness, you found the energy to make a healthy breakfast, go for a walk, and post a vid. Even if you didn’t do those things, either way you deserve grace and kindness. I’m so sorry for your hurts and wish you the best. Hugs, Stacy
Thank you, Stacy. ❤️
Mindy … I have gone through times like this.
What I’ve learned is that when I accepted my down depressed time that lasts a while, stopping beating myself up for natural emotions, made this not so great time disappear much sooner. So accept and stop negative. Just float through it.
Much love ❤️
Everything is going to be ok ❤
💜💕
Sweet lady I just subscribed to your channel a week ago. I wish I had found you years ago. If only you knew just how much you have helped my struggles. Even in your sadness you have a way of helping others. I have fell off the food wagon so many times that I've got a garage full of wagons. Yet thanks to you and others who share your struggles, it keeps me keeping on. Sending you love, hugs, and appreciation. ❤️
💜💕
I have been watching you for about 9 months of so now - I started my own Mounjaro journey in November (for diabetes primarily) and your videos have helped me sooo much. I love your recipes and your trips to the grocery store and so much about your personality. I am so sorry you are hurting. I had a rough week like that last week (and I posted on my channel about it) I gained a pound and was just kicking myself (I started at 311lbs and I'm down to 270lbs but man oh man that teensy little gain about wiped me out) You are so loved Mindy but I know it's hard to be kind to ourselves - I understand how tough it is to give ourselves grace. We are here for you if you need it! I hope you feel better soon hon. Take the time you need.
💜💕
You’re not alone. We are all here with you - some days knocking it out of the park and some days trying not to drown.
💕💜
This Mindy has benefited so much from your content. Sharing your struggles helps me know that I’m not alone when things don’t go as well as I would like. I hope you feel all the warmth and love that we viewers are sending you. Thanks for being vulnerable and honest. Big hugs! 😘
💜💕
THANK YOU Mindy for being REAL. I appreciate your honesty always as the struggle is real every day! Please know that you are great, and you have inspired SO many, even with this video. Life happens.
💕💕
Oh Mindy! I wish I could give you a hug. You’re doing the right things; talking to your therapist, getting back to healthy eating and sharing your journey. Take your time during this stressful time. You’re doing great!
💜💕
BB I'm bawling 😭 I love you so much and I'm so glad that I know you personally, we're on the same page boo! I'm beating myself up so bad and I know we deserve better! We are loved, we are beautiful and we are human 😢 Life continues we struggle and pull ourselves up. Life challenges 🤮 we are learning to love ourselves when you know we really haven't 😢 Our bodies are beautiful, our hearts and soul will never be forgotten, they won't remember how much we weigh, they will remember how big your heart is my love!!!!!!!
Lubbie so much. 💕💜
We are ALL here for you. i won't tell you to get over it cause you are the only one that can do that for yourself. Just know we care about you and im praying for you to get back to who you want to be. we all fail, what counts is getting back up when you're able to and keep on your journey. You have come so far and look so healthy. No one knows what goes on in our mental health . take a minute.ground yourself. And never talk down about yourself is what im told. Only positive words. (Its difficult i know) Youve got this chica.
You are a sensitive, kind and caring person and I am so grateful for all that you’ve shared with us. Prayers and hugs-❤🙏❤️🙏Peggy
💜💕
You are coping the best you can. It is ok to fail sometimes. No one is perfect and it just makes you more relatable. Thank you for sharing. We love you! May God lay his hands on Mindy and her family during this difficult time. Lift them up with strength and self compassion.
Thank you, Sandra. 💕💜
🙏
Oh, please. Who will dare to judge you. You are a human with ups and downs. You are a person who is willing to show your true self with struggles and everything. You felt down and stood up again. Everything takes time, and we are so proud of you. We really appreciate how real you have always been. We are here for you like you have been for us.
Thank you, Olga. ❤️
Sending you a big hug and thanking you for sharing your journey. I’m glad you chose to not disappear for a week because I look forward to your message each week. You are giving yourself the gift of this video because it holds you accountable to be good to yourself! You’ve created a village of support and these are the times to lean on that. Sending love and light as well as prayers for you and your family during this time.🫶
💜💕
So many can relate, you’re the best for sharing! You got this girl, you’re amazing!!!!!!! Amazing. Think of how far you’ve come!🎉 the old you would be SO PROUD!
💜💕
Hi Mindy, I'm so sorry to hear about your relative. I am sending lots of healing vibes your way..❤
Thank you. ❤️
You are not on this walk alone. I have found myself in a similar position. It is a daily challenge. Praying for you and your family member❤🙏🏾
Thank you, Tracy. ❤️
We love you Mindy! Maybe try and focus on a maintenance phase while you go through your rough patch. Don’t beat yourself up . Weight loss can wait. We are here for you!!
💜💜
Mindy, this must have been a difficult video to film but I do really resonate with what you’re going through and what you’ve said. I’ve had a very tough year (depressive episode, loose dog attack, and a cancer scare at 33) and I fell off my health life style every time and gained weight back. Ironically what I learned from the cancer scare was not how I “need” to be healthy, but how hard I am on myself. My therapist telling me I need to be self compassionate ten thousand times finally sunk in. Self compassion isn’t letting yourself off the hook, it’s being understanding that a “step back” is part of the process and you didn’t fail. Let yourself go through what you’re going through. Wishing you and your family the best!
Thank you, Nicole. ❤️
Sweet Mindy! This is all part of the journey! We all stumble, get back up and stumble some more. We're human and not perfect and that's ok. You're doing fantastic and you sharing the downs as well as the ups makes all of us who experience those same things not feel so alone! Thank you for your honesty and please know that you're an inspiration! Now, keep going! You got this!! All us imperfect peeps are here here for you and with you!! ❤🙌💪
💕💜
Failing according to who? Not us!!! Keep up the great work!
💜❤️
Hi Mindy. I watch your videos all the time, but have not commented before. Please know I will be praying for you and your family member. Give yourself grace. We all struggle at one point. Take it a minute at a time as needed. Blessings.
Thank you for your kindness, Maggie. 💕
❤❤❤❤ 2 years of success is a win. I’m sorry you beat yourself up….i would just binge and not think…but the rewards of all my work have become precious to me. No one here is judging you your success is my success…we have each other and life sucks but it’s the getting up that counts. Don’t forget that you are loved. 🥰
💜💜
Mindy, don’t give up! Everyone has set backs and you are such an inspiration to me and so many others. You have so much courage to do these videos and you can get yourself back on track. Give yourself a break now and then as no one can be 100% all the time!! Sending good big hugs to you!
❤🙏🏻❤️
💜💕
Oh so many hugs I want to give you. Live your life one moment at a time. Don’t even worry about how you’ll get through the next hour or the rest of the day. Tomorrow is another day, so don’t worry about how are you will get through it as that can be overwhelming. Especially when you’re experiencing tough times! Hang in there , hun. Your TH-cam community will be holding your hand. 🫶🏼
💕💜
I just met you and I'm impressed!
❤
💕💕
It's okay, we all have our moments. I've slipped too, with two family members passed, and I lost focus. You've given me inspiration. Let's be stronger together.
💕💜
The transformation you have made is amazing trust in God he has a plan for you sis🎉
💕💜
We are all going through this sometimes complex human experience. Hugs to you. May tomorrow give you more peace and strength.
💜❤️
Each day is a new day. And perfection is not real life. Some days it’s enough just to make it through. You have this!
💜💕
You are not failing! You are aware of your struggles. You don't quit that's the WIN. You are learning
💜💕
We are so hard on ourselves. We don’t know how to be any different. But just know that what you’re feeling and doing is normal. What I like to say to myself is “ your exactly where you are suppose to be right at this very moment. Nothing, nothing happens by mistake “ sometimes it just takes us longer to see why.. you’ll be ok soon as EVERYTHING passes…. Just hard to believe it when you’re in it…sending gently caring hugs…. ❤
Thank you, Mary. ❤️
I’m sorry to hear about your family member and also that you’re struggling. Please don’t let your perfectionism rear its ugly head. You have built a community of so many people who are here cheering you on. I’m glad you had the courage to make a video, because some people wouldn’t. ❤
💜💕
Ive lost 110lbs so far. I have another 20lbs to lose and ive been on MJ 14wks. I have BED and when im stressed or overwhelmed i turn to food n get depressed, but as a diabetic i try not to reach for sugary muffins or icecream i grab myself sausage. I understand how u feel. I am praying for you, give yourself grace hun❤
💜💕
Oh, sweet friend - sending the biggest hugs! ❤YES, SHOW YOURSELF GRACE!!! It's OK - life happens. I'm so sorry you're going through all this. You are a warrior, and even warriors stumble at times when things get heavy. We love you!
💜💕
Hugs and prayers for you and your family Mindy♥️
❤️❤️
Oh Mindy, I hate that you're going through this rough patch but you're just human like all of us. None of us are 100% perfect 100% of the time. Life happens, but you know what? You'll get beyond it again but rough patches will always come along. You should be proud of yourself because as I look behind you, your kitchen is tidy and clean. Often when we're at a low point our surroundings become a disaster zone but that's not the case with you so kudos to you for that ❤ I will continue to support you, cheer for you and look forward to your videos 😊
Hey Yvonne,
I hadn't been cooking at home in several weeks which is the ONLY reason it wasn't a disaster... 🤣🤣🤣 (as I type this I have a sink overflowing with dishes)... I know things will get better. We're in fake it til we make it territory for now but every day is better than the day before. 💜
I don’t have any profound words for you, but you are very much loved and supported. Sending you virtual hugs. 💞
🫂💕
Thank you for sharing. Step by step you are getting through this.
💜💕
You’re not failing you are coping! It’s OK to give yourself time to breathe! ❤
Thanks, Gena. ❤️
Much love, Mindy. It is ok to have times of struggle, everyday is not going to be peaches and cream all the time. I often struggle with the loss of my son, my mom and my sister. We can only keep trying in this life. Each day brings a new attempt to make things better. Be patient with yourself. I wish you peace and blessings.
Thank you, Sandra. ❤️
Sending love prayers and support! Remember it’s not about being perfect. You have got this!
💕💕
You are not a failure. Forgiving our own impections is always the hardest thing to do. Life would be boring if we were all perfect. Sometimes in life we just need to experience the hard times and accept what we are feeling and that we are struggling. It helps us to appreciate the good times more. We will always struggle and rebound. The only mistake is giving up and stopping trying. Let yourself feel the pain and hurt and rebound when you are ready. We are all here supporting you and cheering you on. Big hugs.
💜💕
Oh Mindy. I’m so sorry. You are not a failure. Nope. I won’t believe it. Sending prayers.
Thank you, Heather. ❤️
Mindy, you have been an inspiration to so many of us. When life hits us in the stomach, or the rug gets pulled from underneath us, it’s very normal for our brains to want to go back to old habits to protect and comfort us. Just remind yourself that this is your habit brain that is telling you to give up or to eat off plan or to not take care of yourself. Sometimes we have to talk back to our habit brains and tell it that by continuing to take care of myself I am making myself physically, mentally and emotionally healthier and stronger , and this will enable me to provide better support to my loved one who is going through life or death health challenges. It’s ok for me to take care of myself so I can be better to love and support others. You got this sweet heart. I am very sorry you and your loved one is going through this.
💜💕
Mindy, I am sending you a hug and prayers!❤
Thanks, Jo. ❤️
You are not screwing it up again!! You are doing great. Look at how far you have come. Changes are not linear sometimes a journey is up and down. Definitely give yourself grace.
💕💜
Sending you hugs. Thank You for always being honest.
❤️❤️
Hang in there my friend. You got this.
💜💕
I am with you. I’m struggling too. Thank you this has helped me too. ❤️
❤️❤️
Hang in there Mindy. We’re still here for you. Lots of hugs and love for you. ❤
💕💜
Oh Mindy, I’m so sorry. I was just thinking you need to show yourself grace and then you said it. We’re broken, but we can get through this. Hang in there girl and thank you for sharing.❤
💜💕
We are all human. You are having a bad time. I think you are one of the strongest most disciplined person I've ever seen. Hugs sweet girl.
❤️💜
You're obviously walking through some mega-pain. Be kind to yourself with your expectations. You're worthy of asking for help. Prayers and sweet dreams to you and yours.
Thanks, Vicki. ❤️
You got this. Be kind to YOURself💪🏾😘
💕
Oh sweet girl, Sharing is caring, and you have so much caring inside you 💞 I have had loses of parents and friends and have mourned. It is depressing and contributes to our deeper depression but does not mean we have failed. It means you have a heart and love. It has nothing to do with your successes not being real, or that you don't deserve something because this happened to them. We can't change someone else health conditions, but we can be sad for them, pray for them, love and help them as much as possible. You have inspired so many in your journey and have been brave to share every moment of it. We will all go through these ups and downs with life. I pray you don't find fault in yourself and find your heart of love that you help in any way you can. somedays going through the motions is all you can do, and it takes a lot of effort to go the motions until these lifts. Yes, give yourself grace and search your feelings to embrace them.
🫂💜💕
I understand how hard it is. Sorry you’re struggling. Don’t give up. Setback is normal.
💕💜
Just get back on track asap. This is part of the journey. A good and smart journey may be 20 lbs off a year. Be good to you. 😊
💜💜
Give yourself some grace and breathe. Thank you for reminding us that we all go through shit but it will get better
🫂💜
I wish you all the best!!
💕💜
I heard you say you are a failure. I wanted to reach out first with the biggest hug and say you are not and never will be a failure. You are just going through a challenging time. But you can and will get through this. So much care and love to you as you make it through this struggle. 🙏
🫂💕💜
Absolutely give yourself grace during this time. My dad was in hospital for several weeks then came home to my house to die, which happened within days mid july until this day has been a struggle every day. Its difficult but know that we can do difficult things. Keep moving even if you move slower. Keep eating healthier choices even if its not your optimal choice. Doing your best today may look different than your best did on another day. That. is. ok. Life is hard and sometimes it takes us a minute to do more than just a minute at a time. I get it. Its important to not to forget to take care of yourself in the midst of the feels. Thats hard when that isnt our strong suit. Doing the small nonnegotiable things helps keep us in practice. Sometimes self care is brushing our teeth -and thats ok temporarily just dont live there long term. We love ya Mindy girl! Hugs and prayers for you.
💜💕
Just continue from where you are one day at a time, one healthy meal and one step at a time until you're back on track. You sound like me, but I'm learning beating ourselves up does not help. You are wonderful just as you are. The goal is to be just wonderful and healthier.
💜💕
Everything will be ok Mindy ❤ sending love X
💜💕
I’m lifting you up in Prayer💜🙏🏾. Remember, one day at a time, every new day is a fresh start. When life is lifing it’s ok not to be ok, you’re human. Virtual hugs & kisses & squeezes sis. GOD Bless you🥰😘🥰
🫂💕
I just wanted to reach out and say I’m really sorry you’re going through such a tough time right now. I hope things start looking up for you soon, but take all the time you need to heal and find your balance.
It’s so clear how much you care about your audience, and I want you to know that we all understand and support you. You’re allowed to feel what you’re feeling, take breaks, and just be human. We’re not going anywhere, and your well-being is way more important than any content.
I absolutely love watching your videos each week, but I can totally survive without them if it means you’re taking care of yourself. Just know this Canadian internet stranger is rooting for you and sending positive vibes your way!
Take care and be kind to yourself because gosh darn it, you're worth it.
Thank you, Jessie. ❤️
Usually I give my opinion but that won’t help... I want to offer you compassion and I hope you can give yourself some grace. I just hope that you know a bad week and a half means absolutely NOTHING! You’ve got this! Start back tomorrow. Losing weight isn’t linear bookie!
💜💕
Sending you lots and lots of hugs. If there’s anything that I would encourage you to focus on is feeling the feeling related to the stress and processing those things because us wanting to dig into food.
It’s just a symptom of a deeper emotional issue that we’re trying to fulfill, praying for you and encouraging you to definitely take some time to journal your thoughts related to the tough time that you had and making sure that you deal with that.
Sometimes us beating ourselves up about the symptom of digging into food is a little bit easier and familiar than dealing with the feelings related to what caused the stress in the first place .
Rooting for you! You did great by talking it out, showing up for yourself.
💕💜
You got this!
💕💕
Sorry you are struggling....life happens and there will be ups and downs...you are not failing...you are wonderful and a great inspiration to me and my weight loss journey....hang in there girl
Thank you, Cindy. ❤️
Mindy...thank you for being vulnerable! Hang in there! You are an amazing woman! Remember....we are all doing our best & maybe this week, that's just getting dressed! 😘
💕💕
Mindy, praying for you. We love you. I wish I could reach through this silly screen and just hug you. Thank you for not running away from us that love you so much. Please be kind to the beautiful person you are, hugs ❤
💜💜
First video I can relate to. For me, I think it should be the easiest thing, losing weight, it's not. I've been on mounjaro 6 weeks and have no appetite suppressant yet!!. If I'm down, I eat. 😢 we see all these videos of everyone succeeding, it's not the big picture. Keep going, it's a marathon not a sprint ❤❤
💜💕🫂
Lady, let's not call coping during a very difficult time "failing." You know better than most that life and diet has its ups and downs and a sustainable way to to be a healthier person is to indulge when needed, don't dwell on it, and get back on track when you're ready. Please take care of you right now and don't worry about what others will think. We appreciate your transparency and the update as we'd be worried about you if you hadn't after you mentioned family concerns in your last video but you also need to put you first. Life can be messy sometimes and it's perfectly okay to feel your feels. I know there's probably not much we can do to help but please don't hesitate to ask if there's anything we can do to help lift your spirits. I'm a firm believer of building a community of people who lift each other up rather than tearing each other down. Take care and we'll be here when you're ready.
Thank you. 💕💜
Have you heard of Mindfulness and loving-kindness practices? You don't HAVE to be positive. You don't have to be stuck in that cycle of dumping a ton of shame and scolding on top of a perceived 'failure'. It helped me to finally lose the weight but more importantly to CHANGE my whole relationship with eating. Even when I 'mucked up'!
I haven't. I'll look into it. 💜💕
Sometimes we need to stop and appreciate what we have accomplished.
Remember this. 1) You aren’t perfect; you are a human who has trials and tests. 2) We don’t expect you to be perfect. If people leave messages saying otherwise, they need to look in the mirror and admit their own faults and failures. 3) You are not a failure and are not a disappointment to those following you for encouragement. YOU’VE LOST OVER 120 LBS.
As you said, give yourself grace. Remember your successes. Make that meal plan and follow it. Pray for God’s help in climbing back up and continue putting one foot in front of the other towards your goal. 🙏❤️🙏👏👏👏
❤️💕
It's so hard being kind to ourselves! Why? Do we measure up differently than our loved ones? Yes, no, maybe. Guess we feel that we have to be perfect, cause people are watching us, evaluating us, judging us! First of all, God is the only perfect one. But, we are His creation. And..he loves us. Stop what you are doing, walk your dog, see a sunset, smell the flowers. Take your mind off of you, and put it on your blessings. You have come so far, your smile radiates beauty. We love and need you. You are real. Be gracious to yourself. Breathe deeply, and reboot!
💜💕
Mindy, I feel like maybe you have forgotten about the effect your family issue was/is having on you. I know that when Im overwhelmed with stress and/or sadness I will completely shutdown and do nothing..... except eat and sleep. So, my friend, you must FIRST deal with the first big issue which is your family and their health and walk through that before addressing your eating etc. Im so proud of you for contacting your therapist to talk some of it out, but I also feel like a short term antidepressant (or a different one if you are already taking one) could really help you get your head back on your shoulders and get you through this crisis time, and Im sure your therapist recommended it as well. PLEASE consider it. It has helped me through so many crisis situations. Also keep in mind that only YOU can determine if what you are going through feel like a crisis or not. Just because you think that others wouldnt consider it so, doesnt mean that it isnt for you. Hugs.... HUGE hugs Mindy girl, you WILL get through this one just like all the others. Its up to you how hard you make it for yourself. Be a good friend to Mindy.
💜💕
Hey there beautiful friend 🤍 please show yourself some love. That is part of the journey too. Life will always throw us obstacles but you will recover and heal. A couple of difficult weeks or months even don’t define you. It’s what you do to move though things and feel the emotions which is new for most of us. All you can is do your best and forget the rest. Just try to do better than yesterday and you will keep doing amazing things. This “journey” is actually your life and worth all the love that you give to others ❤
❤️❤️
My journey is a different path than yours right now but I have the same exact struggles. 💔.
What people love is real…… and a real come back. Keep going girl! Your comeback will inspire everyone else in that same hole that there is a rope to climb out with! ❤️❤️❤️
Remember, you just need 2 days of momentum and the wind will be right back into your sail.
When I get stuck in a hole, I join a group challenge. (I’m keto/carnivore and there’s a million challenges.)
Maybe that would help? Sending love! You are beautiful!
💕💕
I’m a bit older than you and one thing I have come to realise is that life will always have its ups and downs. For some of us it’s more downs than ups, which sucks.
Another thing I’ve come to realise which might help you a bit at this time. Is that on this medication you are not on a diet. You are in a new way of living.
In this way of living, like a” normal” person, there will be times when you over eat for many reasons but as this is now your life, you will return to your new normal way of eating and thus, the journey will continue
I know it’s hard but please don’t beat yourself up. You are human and you reacted to stress in the way that your body and mind are programmed to react to stress. The difference with us being on this medication, at least for me, is that once the immediate stressor has finished, you can turn around and eat your normal food again and basically get back on the horse.
What people who are not like us don’t understand is that we are our own worst critics and our internal critics say the most horrible things to ourselves. I also saw a therapist for many years and she helped me to lessen the effect of my internal critic but she is still there, Telling me I’m not good enough and that of course (insert bad thing) happened to me because I deserved it.
Try to shut her up and climb back up on that horse even if it’s a Clydesdale and so a long way up. The view is much better from up there and you might be able to look to the future more easily.
Sending you lots of love, next week will be better.
I always want to say comforting things to people I care about when they are sad...but I never know what to say, so I say nothing. So I'm thinking about comforting you but not saying a word.
Thank you. I appreciate it. ❤️
Doing this video in itself is a battle won. It took a lot of courage to do. You are living life and there will continue to be battles but the fact that you are here and you recognize the struggle will give you tools to cope when the next challenge in life that happens. You are on a life log journey and unfortunately there are going to be challenging times but how you handle this challenge will give you strength and knowledge on how to handle the next one. Write down how you feel and why you feel this way and how you reacted. Once you pull yourself out of this you can note how you rose to the opportunity to learn and take the very advice you give others, grace. In fact when it is all over you might even react the same way to the next challenge but that's OK because you know how you will react and be at peace with it. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life journey.
Thanks so much, Helen. 🥰
I’ve finally found that if I have brunch at 11 am with protein tiny bit of cheese and vegetables only, that I don’t cave in to snacking and by 5 pm, I have a similar meal with meat, salad and a bit of fruit and bread or half a potato that I’m good until the next morning. Oatmeal, cereals and chips make me hungry all day long.
I can't get enough calories in throughout the day if I don't eat at least 3 meals. Most days even with 3 meals and a dessert I'm below my calorie goal by 100-400 calories. 😳
What is your daily calorie goal?
@carollynt 1700 calories is the recommended deficit set by my dietician. Anything less than that would negatively impact my metabolism and hormones and result in a higher loss of muscle mass.
I would like to send you prayers, prayers for guidance and strength. No one has ever prepared for bad news and will wear on a weight loss journey. It takes a toll on us because everyone grieves or or takes sadness in differently. Some of us eat some of us just stay in bed there is no wrong way to process bad news or grieving, yes you do need to give yourself grace I pray that God gives you strength and know that you’re not alone that you may not know us but we’re here for you. Thank you for sharing your story always and for your candor because you show us is real life. It’s not about losing weight. It’s not about looking good. It’s about what we go through in the process of life And for some of us, it’s a struggle. It’s a struggle because we physically don’t feel good and it just set us back so God bless you and know that God will give you strength so I pray that he wraps his arms around you and gives you comfort keep up the good work you’re not alone is everyone’s story thank you again

Honey,quit beating yourself up. You have had a stressful time and so you didnt do your best. We've all been there. Try ,try to pick yourself up ,dust yourself off,accept that you are only human,then move on!! You can do it! ❤️❤️

The main thing is remember that you were there for your family and it's normal to be and to handle things in a different way when they're stressed and sadness one thing that you might think is crazy for me to say but you could take two or three days this week to get up and put on some of those clothes you used to wear and just see how far you've come as I say this too shall pass remember we love you God loves you more and the world would be a terrible place without you in it
Thank you, Fonda. ❤️
Mindy, please know that those of us who watch your channel regularly are inspired by your ENTIRE journey... both the wins, and the setbacks, because it's real and honest. Personally, I love that you don't proport to have some "perfect" weightless journey, because if you did, it would be far less interesting. I am sending you and your family lots of positive energy and best wishes during this difficult time.
Always remember, the best part about a journey is that it continues.

Staying off carbs will help; it is proven to help.
All carbs for a month (minimum).
You can do it Mindy!!
I appreciate the suggestion but I'm not interested in an unsustainable approach. All carbs means no fruit or veggies either and that's just not healthy. I don't have any food sensitivities so no reason to avoid them. I've been able to eat them moderately for over 2 years and still lose weight... this has far more to do with my emotional state right now... which will improve with time. 💜
I was 310 pounds and now I’m 150 pounds and a bodybuilder. I had to do A LOT of therapy to get to my goals. I’m sorry you’re struggling.
Congratulations on your amazing achievement. I know that had to be an insane amount of effort and mental work. 💜💕
Praying for you and your family!!! Give yourself love and support do some self care, hot bath, journaling, read a book, talk to a friend, etc. this too shall pass
💕💕
Hang in there! I admire you!

Be kind to yourself. You deserve it. Hugs❤❤❤

Life is so hard. Life is real. You are real. Thank you for letting us know we aren't alone!! You are not alone either 🥰🥰! Struggling is real and I am praying for you. Hang in there. Your smile is still in there.
Thanks, Jennifer. 💕
