    Any change that makes you feel better, is a good change!!! Please don't let naysayers challenge your resolve! I've been watching you for a little while now, and am very proud that you are sharing your successes and at times your failures that's normal. Build yourself up, love yourself, talk about things and let us listen that always helps. Take it from this old woman of 69. As you get older you tend to not care what others think. Your strong and you've got this ❤

    I strive to be intentionally selective on who I follow and what I let into my life and social media algorithms. I started following you because of the authenticity of being a real person living life from your own unique set of circumstances. This video was amazing. Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud. As someone who has struggled with mental health and also chose to embark on my own healing journey of choosing myself, I appreciate this. I appreciate the authentic efforts and realistic changes/timeframe you share. You are inspiring people in real and wholesome ways. Keep choosing you!!❤❤

    Sooo proud of you, you just took the hardest and biggest step to healing. You are over the hump. You are putting yourself first and that's hard to do, especially when you keep going backwards. Look at how far you've come...that takes alot of strength and courage. The natural way of eating and healing is the absolute best. God gave us everything we need to be healthy and strong. And we know he doesn't make mistakes. Your new way of life is not a mistake either. I healed my depression over 30 years ago with natural remedies. I don't need any of them now. I'm balanced. You can do this. Sooo proud for you. Keep doing you. ❤

    I feel how you feel.. I worked everyday of my life for a very long time and two years ago my husband got a wonderful job and said you can finally be a SAHM.. well all of the kids were in school and I just felt like I was lazy and had no purpose.. laid in the bed from the time the kids left till right before they came home.. I realized finally it wasn’t gonna work.. I was worthy and meant something to people.. I get up everyday now and actually do things.. and I feel loved.. like I have a purpose.. And I’m so glad you shared! It makes me feel not so alone! I tried to talk to other people about it but they just didn’t understand and were not relating.. it seemed like I was the only one that went thru this.. I looked it up and it is kind of like empty nest syndrome.. when all the kids go to school and you are a SAHM you feel like wow I’m not needed anymore.. but I am needed! And I’m so wonderfully grateful for having that talk with my family and them reassuring me.. their reassurance was all I needed! Love you Tamara! Keep doing what you do! I’m here for it!

    Tamera, you spoke on a lot of hard things today. I'm so proud of you! You can see 👀 the change. And, I'm not just meaning the weight loss. The sparkle is back in your eyes! It's wonderful! The joy is visible. It's awesome! God is good. You are allowed to be interested in trying new things, drawing inspiration from different places- we all are! I think it's hard for some to see it that way! They are probably struggling. I send prayers. It's a hard time of year! The holidays, winter, finances & inflation....ugghhhh!!! 😢 So- my point is when we are feeling down & cruddy it's hard to see others doing great! So, you just keep on keepin on!!! Don't even worry about the negative comments! For every 1 negative comment, you have 101 positive & supportive comments! We appreciate you for you!!! And you for being real!!! Happy new year, Friend!!! Let's make 2024 the best year!!! Let's goooo 🎉😍💕🎉

    This brought me to tears. I’ve dealt with anxiety/depression since my early 20s and the drs would just put me on medication and finally saw a therapist who couldn’t prescribe medication and taught me how to better deal with it when I feel it coming on and I was doing good for years. I’m now 51 and am in peri-menopause which I didn’t even know was a thing and it messes with you in so many ways. Mentally & physically. I’ve gained weight that I can’t lose, I have horrible insomnia which wears you down. I have radiculopathy in my neck which pretty much makes my right arm, neck, hand numb and hurt and know the gaining weight has brought a lot of those issues on & so have been really struggling to deal with things. I love how you are so real and just show slight changes here and there with food and scratch cooking. I’m excited about that magnesium spray and want to look into more herbal stuff instead of medication. Know you are an inspiration & dont listen to those who question every little thing. They prob do that on everyone page. Thank you for being you & sharing yourself with us!!!❤

      Reading your comment made me think you were my older sister bc she experiences every thing you listed. The first time I heard the word radiculopathy I thought my sister's doctor made it up bc it seemed like a medical word for "ridiculous". I know it's real. It just sounded made up to me at the time. Anxiety & depression often go hand in hand: after being on so many different medications that left me numb, I slowly weaned myself off & have never felt better. I'm no medical professional & do not recommend stopping any medically prescribed medications without consulting your doctor. I'm just saying what worked for me bc I was tired of being a literal zombie.

      @@stacyrussell460 thank you for your reply. I know after going to chiropractors and getting an MRI and going to neurologist all he pretty much said was I wasn’t bad enough for surgery yet and I’ll prob get carpal tunnel one day and if I lost weight it could help a little. Gee thanks lol. Some days it flares up most depending what I’m doing and pretty much use a heating pad every night and when people ask me eats wrong with me it just takes so long to explain so just deal with it but really want to see what things I can do or take on my own to help. Thanks for letting me know I’m not alone ❤️

      @@Rachelmarie5272 my sister required surgery for carpal tunnel as well as cubanal tunnel (years of waitressing & carrying heavy trays of food). She said the surgery helped a little but not with the pinched nerve in her neck & back. Her doctor wanted to do surgery to try to correct it but the stats they gave her made her refuse surgery. Too many unknowns when it comes to surgery on or near the spine & the best odds they gave her was 20% that the surgery wouldn't leave her temporarily or permanently paralyzed.

    Thank you for your vulnerability, Tamara. Your channel is one of my favorites because you don't put on any pretenses. Being real is refreshing to those who watch you. Mental health is a difficult thing to deal with. It can be debilitating in several ways. Mine makes me extremely physically ill with uncontrollable shaking when it flares up and I never know when it is going to hit, but when it does, I'm literally done. I've also struggled with feeling of being, "less than," for many years because of it. I never wanted to take medication so I prayed, "Lord, You created the universe so I know you could heal me in a flash," but He didn't, so I finally had to make peace with pills to function better. I have nothing but compassion for what you've dealt with and deal with currently. Keep being you and I pray God blesses you richly throughout your journey! 🙏

    I have also been wondering how you lost weight. I thought about writing you yesterday about it because I thought I missed something.
    Thanks for sharing your heart today, Tamera. Now I see it wasn't about the physical weight but the mental weight.
    Your journey is yours. You don't have to explain what you do to anyone. If you want a Dr Pepper, have it.
    Our lives are not perfect we just have to live them the best we can.
    I've been struggling with some things since the end of 2022 and 2023 was the hardest year out of my 62 years. I need to heal physically and mentally. You have inspired me!
    I watch your videos because you are so real!
    I have learned lots of good things from your videos.
    I am very much interested in herbal remedies. I have been reading about them and watching The Honeystead. I look forward to what you will be making!
    You are in my prayers sweet girl!

    You’re human and you don’t owe anyone an explanation. I love watching your videos. For me being overweight and shy. I am trying to put up videos and get over that. I know I’m a great person and a great cook and I really want to share and teach others. I’ve learned from you as well. I’ve never been a big bread baker but after seeing your videos I’m more inspired to bake breads and other things. Even though I try to watch my carbs my husband loves bread 😂. But keep being you ❤

    You are so brave! Thank you so much for sharing your journey and talking about the things we as women don’t often share. We usually hear “you shouldn’t feel that way” or “just get over it and stop wallowing in it”. My career did not allow me to show emotion, and that made it hard at home sometimes. You are doing all the right things to make yourself better, which in turn makes things better for your family . I envy your friends that get to talk with you often. You are a special lady, and I’m glad I found you!! ❤️

    Welcome to the herbal healing path! It's a wonderful journey. It has filled my heart. There are so many things that we can use from the natural world to help us to be healthy. Body, mind, and soul!

    Totally agree about everything in moderation and balance. To me, it's about enjoying the journey. I love your videos. As a creator, I also strive to be real with my videos, but sometimes it's hard because we are only showing parts of our lives. We are real people, and it's tough when we are not seen that way. I'm so proud of you! Thanks for the inspiration!

He who is without fault, cast the first stone. NONE OF US ARE PERFECT, NOR FREE OF SIN. NO ONE IS PERFECT ENOUGH TO COMDEMN OTHERS. You are perfect as you are sweetheart. ❤from Texas 🇨🇱
