You should consider talking to your therapist about disordered eating if you feel like you can’t eat veggies and fruits without binge eating other stuff. You shouldn’t gain weight from veggies and fruits. Even with the little bit of sugar content in them. Your therapist might be able to help you. Eating only red meats is gonna raise your risk for colorectal cancer and heart disease.
Research the Carnivore diet. It's actually been proven to help a lot of people get off blood pressure meds and other drugs. And is especially good for women with PCOS like Cindy has.
i started my weight loss journey at the same time as you and hit my goal weight in early 2023 but after being on lexapro for over a year now and after i stopped calorie counting as strictly as i had before, exercising less, i gained 25 pounds in the past year as well 😭 i’m now back to calorie counting and hoping to lose those 25 pounds again!! i’m with you Cindy!! we did it before we can do it again 🫡
I'm doing a low-buy year too! Trying to thrift or make what I want to buy as I can. I have credit card debt for the first time in my life, ugh. I got out of hand last year lmaooo. That being said, I love how you're handling your cash budget. Might have to steal that.
Happy New Year Cindy, wishing you a happy and successful year ahead and many thanks for everything you do! Keep up the amazing work you always deliver 😊
All those dresses look great on you imo, but I get it, feeling comfortable is best! Good luck 😊 thrifting for goods sounds like a good goal for the year
Hello Cindy 💕 I hope you had a lovely celebration and that this year is wonderful for you 🥰 I didn’t have a great start to the year, so I’m grateful to have your videos to distract me. Have a lovely day 💚
I love thrift shopping too so I really enjoyed this vlog. All the items are beautiful, even if a few have to wait a few weeks. I do carnivore too and after losing over 70 lbs I had to totally get a new wardrobe but was able to restock my closet quite well for all seasons. Starting in November I had a lot of "carb days" (I hate calling them cheat days) because of conferences and other events leading up to Christmas. I gained almost 15 lbs. in 6 weeks, but after one week back on carnivore, I only have 6lbs left to get back to my pre-holiday weight. You got this!
i really like those straight leg pants! you would look so good in some wide leg pants as well, i'm very short too and they really level me out i feel like so i think you'd like them too!
We love doing this. I'm not a fan of clothes shopping so when I do go I like to shop at consignment shops. We usually will find a bunch of nice clothes there for a way cheaper price, then go buy one "nice" outfit at full price. You get way more clothes without paying a huge amount for maybe two or three outfits.
Love the dresses and shirt you got from the thrift store, all look great, that last one is gorgeous on you! The T shirt you were wearing is cute and my style i live in t shirts with animals on them :D
I love that strawberry shortcake mug so so much!! Also so cute how it matches your red dining room ❤ ps. Your outfit is so cute, straight leg jeans suit you and that tiger shirt is amazing!
Now I'm not working!! Omg- I love the jeans!! They look great! Im from the school of wearing what you want. I love your idea of only buying from Thrift. I'm actually heading to my favorite thrift store later today. As for your weight- you will lose that lil bit you gained. My highest weight was 350. I'm at 137 now. I got down to 170 before I found you and carnivore. Thank you so much for the enlightenment!! Im back doing strict carnivore because my goal weight is 125. Let's see how we both do! Where the hell is Ted?! I misses him in this video 😂
Oooo! I'm diggin that evil eye coffee cup! It's crazy how much we like the same stuff, if you only knew. Those dresses are cute, especially that 3rd one. You will really stock up on clothing this year going to thrift stores. That's the way to do it!😊
btw, I dont think that indigo dress was too tight on you at all! It actually looked loose in the back but I cant really tell from a youtube video lol. :p
Hey girl! Loved the vlog. My husband and I love thrifting in Texas. What size jeans are you? I got two pairs of jeans from the thrift store in a size 10 and they don’t fit me quite right. And I think you and I are around the same size. I’d love to send them to you.
A few of my friends frequent no buy facebook groups where people post things they no longer need/want for free! Or if you’re looking for something, you can post a request and if someone has what you want, they respond! I’m sure it’s very hit or miss (I know people on facebook marketplace can be iffy, but with a group I imagine that everyone WANTS to be there), but might be something that exists in your area too! 💕
25 lbs is worth it for enjoying the Holidays. you should always plan on gaining a little weight between Thanksgiving and christmas and enjoy your life. think about Jan 5 every year to go back to your Carnivore. PCOS is probably a lifetime fight
25 lbs is a little much to gain over the span of a couple weeks honestly. It would be a bit worrying if someone gained that much over such a short time period. 2-5 pounds would be more realistic as a normal weight fluctuation over the holidays. I agree people shouldn't worry about a little weight gain around special days and should enjoy life though. I'm pretty sure I gained around 5 lbs over the past month.
I actually think the drinking alcohol and falling off the carnivore diet shortly after finding Ted helped with the extra poundage . I think she looks great as she looks now but the ultimate thing is to be happy with yourself in the end
First stop normalizing gaining that much weight over the holidays. Second of all Cindy didn’t gain it over Christmas - it’s more the “new relationship weight gain”. Carnivore is the only way for me to stay on top and I totally get why Cindy does it
Our thrift stores where I live are way overpriced (new stuff is cheaper or same priced...ridiculous) and I have the fear of getting scabies or lice....it's a thing here . I am envious you don't have this issue. When my middle and youngest were babies/little I thrifted a lot of their clothes. Yard sales are big here too.
I have seen some very good replicas, such as the bag I bought at kislux . The craftsmanship of modern replicas is becoming increasingly sophisticated, and they are within millimeters of each other. It is difficult to tell which ones are fake.
You are so pretty land engaging. You lost a ton of weight and look like a different person. Consider taking out that crooked septum piercing. It is your focal point and I’m sure you want people to look at you and not a crooked piercing but if you keep it, maybe a circle piercing… I adore you and will keep watching and won’t mention it again. ❤😊😊

Also, working with a dietician would be game-changing for her! They can help her develop a meal plan that can lead to sustainable weight loss.

Yes, we can!! We will do it! 🧡🧡
I really like the blue dress. That deep blue looks really striking on you for some reason
So happy to continue seeing your growth through these vlogs! May 2025 be the best yet! 🤍
Thank you so much! And same to you! 🤍
Cindyyyyy I am so exited to watch! I love thrifting clothes
Me too! It's so much fun! 🤍
Those jeans are your shape girl! Super flattering
Straight leg jeans look amazing on you! 💗

this is a great new year’s resolution!! now i’m feeling inspired to thrift more again too ❤️
i love thrift stores and yard sales. Happy new year!!
Happy New Year to you! 🤍 And I can't wait to hit up yard sales in the spring - I'm counting that as part of my second-hand shopping year too!
Happy New Year Cindy, wishing you a happy and successful year ahead and many thanks for everything you do! Keep up the amazing work you always deliver 😊
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words! Happy New Year to you too! 🤍
i havent bought new clothes since 2020 and its been the best!
You glow with your natural look. I love it. I haven't worn makeup in over 10ys and do not regret.
All those dresses look great on you imo, but I get it, feeling comfortable is best! Good luck 😊 thrifting for goods sounds like a good goal for the year

Aww, thank you! I appreciate you watching! 🤍
yay another vlog u look so happy cep it up 😍
I like the style of the clothes! I love that you took us shopping with you! 🛍️ ❤
The flannel you bought is the store brand from where I work! For the type of store it is, they do have nice clothing.
Cindy, you scored at the thrift store! You look lovely, especially in the indigo T-shirt dress. That is adorable! You inspire me to go thrifting!!!
a day late, but the jacket flannel & mug is so good!! ahh literally love them & so happy you were able to get something! 🤍😊
Thank you so much!! I was so happy to find them, and you were so kind for the gift! 🧡🧡
@ ofccc 🤍🥹 i wanted to send something for the holidays (:

Happy New Year!!!!!
Happy New Year to you too! 🤍
Love the dresses, you will feel great in them in some weeks on carnivore. Also must say the jeans and t-shirt is such a great fit on you ❤
You should do monthly check ins to talk about how your budget is going and what you bought!
My bday vlog! Jan 6.. love it as always. ❤
Happy Birthday! Hope you had a great one! 💜💜
@ 41.. 41 years old. How did we get here? 😂

Hyssop heals the heart/heart chakra! Plant some in your back yard when you reinvent your backyard garden.
Oh, I want to!! Hopefully I can get some going in spring!
Cindy I absolutely love this idea! I might try to do the same, we live in such a wasteful world 😩
Yayy!! Excited!
Thanks so much for watching! 🤍
Nice, good finds! 😊
Omg the grey tunic dress is soooo cute!
I love it!!
I like black with floral prints too 😮
Great finds at the thrift store. I should check my local stores out. Love flannel tops too.
Oooo! I'm diggin that evil eye coffee cup! It's crazy how much we like the same stuff, if you only knew. Those dresses are cute, especially that 3rd one. You will really stock up on clothing this year going to thrift stores. That's the way to do it!😊
You're right, I can't wait! 🤍
For the clothes you want more cinched (or even acting as a front cover) I think a corset would look SO good with these dresses (the first two).
btw, I dont think that indigo dress was too tight on you at all! It actually looked loose in the back but I cant really tell from a youtube video lol. :p
The jeans are wicked cute! And the flannel shirt…those colors are gorgeous!
Thank you! I love them!!

Cindy your skin is glowing you look so pretty love all the vintage clothes happy new year to you and Ted
Thank you so much! And happy New Year to you too! 🤍

You still look amazing.
You look so gorgeous in those clothes thrifting or not you look gorgeous always have :)

@@HashtagAPI8 I'm also camp carnivore! It's one of the best things I ever did for myself ever! In May it will be two years for me.
“Live out your teenage dreams when you’re an adult” Cindy, you speaketh to my soul ❤️
Blue dress I like. Fits good I believe.
I like it too! Thank you!
@LifePlusCindy your welcome ❤️
I’ve been thrifting my clothes and things for years! Im 26years old and love it. (Cant afford brand new anyways lol)
The timestamps said "not today Satan"
Timestamps are fixed!
Don’t forget to check out estate sales! They have really good stuff and might be cheaper than some thrift stores
Oh, great idea!!
Our thrift stores where I live are way overpriced (new stuff is cheaper or same priced...ridiculous) and I have the fear of getting scabies or lice....it's a thing here . I am envious you don't have this issue. When my middle and youngest were babies/little I thrifted a lot of their clothes. Yard sales are big here too.
Does this mean no more sunscreen?
Nah, I’ll just find a natural one. Thinking of trying the Kari Gran version.
The blue dress is cute!!!! The curves arent bad girl!
CINDYYYYYY
🤍🤍🤍
All three dresses are so cute. ✨✨✨
I love them too! 🥰
@@LifePlusCindy
Wonderful that you do! 😊💖
Morty and Bella 🥰
FIRST
Thanks so much for watching! 🤍
Your time stamps aren't timestamping
Thanks! I'm fixing it now!
Ok, all fixed!
I have seen some very good replicas, such as the bag I bought at kislux . The craftsmanship of modern replicas is becoming increasingly sophisticated, and they are within millimeters of each other. It is difficult to tell which ones are fake.
Dress with pockets are real score of the day
No kidding!! 🤍
I’m being strict with carnivore right now too! That dairy makes me fat, DANG IT! lol, no cheating aka DESTROYING! ✌❤🥩
Good luck to us both! 🤍
My news year relutison is trying to budget on my spending
Good luck! You can do it!
Do American thrift stores not have change rooms? Why wouldn't you try things on before buying them?
Some do
You are so pretty land engaging. You lost a ton of weight and look like a different person. Consider taking out that crooked septum piercing. It is your focal point and I’m sure you want people to look at you and not a crooked piercing but if you keep it, maybe a circle piercing… I adore you and will keep watching and won’t mention it again. ❤😊😊
Great haul, but where's the books 📚??....gwen
Eh, they didn't really have anything good! Lol. I looked around for a minute, but didn't see anything I liked.
😂 I was just watching old vids😂
Aww, thanks so much for watching! 🤍
your septum piercing suits you
shacket :DDD
Ugh! Im at work and can't watch yet!!!!!
Have a good rest of your day and thank you for watching when you can! 🤍
tie a flannel around your waist, would look cute
I'm afraid it might make me look more bulky because that's where I carry my weight. Lol! But I might try it when I'm down a few more pounds!
