July 24 Wellness Journey Update. Maintaining weight loss and weight loss tips and advice.
It's been over 11 years since I started my weight loss and health and wellness journey.
I give tips on how to lose weight and see real long lasting results. I share what I eat to lose weight and what I do for exercise.
But i'm struggling. My depression has gripped me tight and I am trying to keep going even though I feel like giving up and crying all the time.
2020 and 2021 have been tough years on everyone. I myself suffered from crippling depression and dealt with it by overeating and emotional eating and over the last 4 years have gained over 60 pounds back!
I used to be morbidly obese, weighing in at over 400 pounds, but over 5 years of consistent effort, life changes and personal growth I shed over 222 pounds, kept it off for years and changed my life.
Then years of emotional abuse, gaslighting and brainwashing followed by relentlessly being stalked, I spiralled into a depression and fell back on old habits I thought I had conquered years ago. I fell back on eating my emotions and eating those good old comfort foods we all know so well. And now here I am, over weight and out of shape again! But, at least I didn't gain back all 222 pounds.
And this time I get to bring you all along with me on my healthy journey and show you how I did it the first time. I like that part of this journey because it's real. It's raw. It's hard. It's honest. And that is me in a nutshell.
I love sharing my year of health with you guys on youtube. It's the best because I also use youtube to help become a better version of myself. I may not be on tiktok but I do love to follow videos for tips and tricks and learn new things about food, working out and getting healthy.
So enjoy, my journey and don't forget to subscribe because it's going to be an INCREDIBLE 2023 and an even more incredible 2024!
I draw my inspiration from some awesome youtube channels like Liezl Jayne Strydom, Downshiftology, Hannah Adkins, TheSeriousfitness, The Domestic Geek, Pick Up Limes, Sami Clarke, Stephanie Rose, Claudia Sulewski, It’s me Melisa, Sienna Santer, Romee Strijd, HealthNut Nutrition, Joshua Weissman and so many more. They have amazing channels and videos and I highly suggest that you check them out. They have incredible videos on topics like What I eat in a week, what I eat in a day, meal prep, how to lose weight, weight loss advise, weight loss tips, healthy eating, amazing recipes, healthy recipes and just so many more. I love seeing other people thrive and succeed and I also love food and every day tips so these are just some of my go to's.

    Spiritualist believe that bipolar or narcissistic people are possessed by evil entities that control their lives so they need a priest or a shaman to perform an exorcistic ritual to eliminate those entities no doctor or pil will help.

    I read something from a doctor that hit home with me. He said one way to detach from the narcissist is to not take the narcissist abuse personal. Narcissist are ill they don't know why they do what they do. That helped me to let go of hatred and the betrayal one feels from narcissistic abuse. We can't blame ourselves, they are ill and wear a mask.. So, I choose to let go and love myself..Their illness defines them not people who got involved with one. Narcissist don't discriminate, they are sick. Let them go, if you are hanging on. They have no empathy..Be free live your life..

    I have embraced my single life. I have traveled all across Europe, Israel, Russia, and Mexico. I have climbed mountains in the Rockies, hiked through the Wind River Range in Wyoming, and been to the Grand Canyon and hiked down to Phantom Ranch. I have taken cruises, camped in various camp grounds, and enjoyed many activities. But I also have never been in love nor married. And that really sucks!

    My depression WENT AWAY with "whole foods plant based diet". Alot of pain subsided too. It took 1.5 weeks for me to detox and then feel amazing. My husband took 2.5 weeks to detox. So I tell people to commit to one month challenge. You also connect with the earth, animals, and spiritually also. It's a heavy connection that you can FEEL, so most people don't want to go back to eating sentient beings again. Just my, and my kids and ex husband's experience. Also he lost 40lbs and i lost 20.

    I believe I was dating a person with bipolar narcissist tendencies. The more I think about the relationship and how it unfolded, the more signs I see. Still, I believe I love her and want to improve myself both to be a better person and, maybe one day, be able to be part of her life and support her in anyway I can. Is that wrong?

    • @MrTwinkieeater

    Did you use Jason Vale's "Super juice me" 28-day app? It's fantastic - juices are delicious, different every day. I never felt hungry nor had I any cravings, except on day 26 I felt like a steak! I listened to Jason's pep talk which is part of the app, and he talked me out of it. I lost 7kg, my Psoriasis cleared up quite a bit and I felt "pure as the driven snow"!!!

  • @Lovect18
    @Lovect18 2 роки тому

    You described it correctly, it’s a total mind *f__k. I stopped the relationship before it developed based on the fact of the way my narcissist made me feel. It stats out with them sweeping you off your feet. Stevie Wonder has a song with the lyrics that say” you took me riding in your rocket and gave me a star, and then a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back down to this cold world…& that’s exactly what they do. I’m not playing the victim card but the reality of a narcissist is they are predictors & that’s the truth. They do not get a free unaccountability pass for what their intentions are for unsuspecting people who genuinely care for them. Yes, there may be something in me that attracts them like “ a good heart”. They teach you a good lesson about self and that is you better have some self about you to survive one of them if you ever encounter them. Sorry for the rant . ❤🌺🙌🏽
