My mother weighs 110 lbs, My sister weighs 105. Neither one has ever been heavy. My parents would try soooo hard to watch everything I put into my mouth because I was built differently from them. They would "make" me get weighed every single week when I was in my teens. I was basically "thin" until I got married at 21. Then, being on my own, I ate EVERYTHING!!!! I love my parents sooooo much, but they were a big part of my problem. You are doing sooo well and look fabulous!!! You are sooo pretty and such an inspiration to so many of us!!!!
I started ozempic 2 weeks ago because I am type 2 diabetic. My A1C are high even though I have been on 2 different types of medications for years. I am also suffering from Thyroid disease. I walk 2-3 miles and have ate healthy for years. Many people always think that it is I eat all the time. I have to make myself eat and still have problems. I keep track of my intake to just show that I can valid I am telling the truth about what I eat. My husband has even told doctors that I watch what I eat. I have had endo,PCOS and infertility problems in the past. Completel Hysterectomy at 31. I am 55 now. Please keep trying and know you will be fine Amanda. I didn't start injections to loss weight. I did it to help my heart, and lower A1C and decrease my chances of Thyroid cancer in the future. Prayers and support on your continued journey.
I just give you so much credit in the words you choose thru explaining things your love and non judgement for Joey and your family is so evident…I think so many of us have struggles that started from our youth even though our parents loved us…keep on the journey your so beautiful on the outside but your so beautiful from within❤️you can do it it’s a journey and everyday we hope to be better
I hear you on the overeating. Journalling helped me, plus feeling sick and tired every time I looked in the mirror really propelled me to start making small changes. I still struggle because it's really hard, but I get back up and refuse to quit. I love the idea of staying busy, that's always helpful. The fact that you're resilient shows you don't quit, you'll get there girlie. 💜💜
I feel like my childhood has also contributed to my eating habits today. I had to sit at the table until I finished my plate of food. I understand the logic behind it for them because they wanted me to eat so that I wasn’t asking for snacks an hour later but all it led to was me being overstuffed all the time so much so I don’t even know what a comfortable feeling of fullness is anymore. I am trying hard to not be part of the clean your plate club and to listen to my body. It’s so hard. Thanks for opening up a lot of us can relate! ❤
Amanda! I totally love the way you're eating now a days - back when I first started watching you, I was also on WW. I struggled so hard with the low-fat sugar-free diet that WW promotes. I was never satisfied. Watching you pour butter on your eggs was amazing!! haha most WW'ers would never!
Thank you for being so raw and relatable. This is so hard, but this is me. I struggle with binging and I too struggle with the random bites and just eating until I'm miserable. Sweets are something I have no control over other than cutting completely. The relationship is awful and doing my best. I've lost and gained and lost and gained. Just know you're not alone and we are rooting for you! You've got this!
Hey Amanda, I love your videos and your honestly about losing weight, I am much older than you, and I am always trying to lose weight and eat healthier and it is not easy, but all we can do is keep trying. Also, my husband and I love McDonalds sausage, egg and cheese McMuffin sandwich and I wanted tell you that you can purchase at Walmart the Great Value sausage patties they come in a bag in freezer section they taste exactly like McDonalds sausage patty. If you eat them in moderation they can be part of your diet. Enjoy your day and keep posting😊
This is exactly(one of the many reasons) why I went on a whole food plant based diet because I’m a volume eater and with that I could eat much more for less calories.
❤❤❤❤yes same omg not enough influencers talk about the urge to overeat!!!! This is my biggest struggle!!! Thank you for sharing love your channel and healthy is not a number!
Totally agree it’s hard to come by others speaking on this but I know it’s hard to open up on this topic because anyone can see it but I’m glad I brought it up ❤
Amanda! What you’re describing is the reason I went on glp-1’s. I think there’s literally some of us who have whacked out hunger signals. I took it at recommended dose until I got to a healthy weight.. now I take a smaller dose (less than half) every 10 days instead of 7 just to stop the food noise from coming back. This may be a life long thing, I’m not sure but I haven’t had any rebound weight gain… I’ve continued to lose slowly and all of my health markers greatly improved as well as my mood and confidence of course. My family has had way too many premature deaths from health issues, so I’m trying to keep everything at bay that I can control and weight was a big thing that always worried me because I couldn’t control it with exercise alone.
This 100% resonated with me. I come from the same type of situation/family and always believed my issue with food was emotional/binge eating. Thank you for sharing. This was an epiphany moment for me! ❤
I gave Ozempic a try to help lose weight and it made me so sick with stomach issues. I struggle so bad with portions and over eating. I have been on a weight loss journey and trying to learn how to eat better and be in control of my food.
You don't have to do a GLP. I struggle with wanting that full feeling as well. I had major food insecurities as a kid, not enough, not a ton of sugary things. I binge on cookies and cakes, so I don't buy them. I recently went on Qsymia to curb my sugar cravings and appetite. It's a pill. I'm only a month in and it works. Food noise drives you to obsess and "crave" food when it's really not hunger. Therapy helps, but using tools is also a great idea. Bypass, sleeve, pills, shot... it's scary but the quiet you get in your brain, is priceless.
@@belgiumgirl8970 well actually I’m filming days it is all eat is what I show. I always say I just need to film everyday because it keeps my more occupied and helps me stay more on track. I more so meant in general I struggle I go through months of doing really well and months of not doing so well.
I grew up with that same fear and have been working on not overeating for nine years. But little by little by little i stopped overeating for the most part. The food noise is still a daily struggle though. Ive been watching your videos for five years and i very much relate.
I can relate to your post sm. I’m down to my goal weight rn at 150lb but still constantly am always subconsciously hungry all the time. I completely switched my lifestyle on what I eat and eat more plant based with minimal meat and no dairy intake it helped sm with me having PCOS and being able to regain my monthly cycle naturally. I fill up a plate of food and I never finish anything on my plate I’m not sure why anymore when eating take out, especially since I get sick easily when eating takeout and am very sensitive to it. But even tho I’m full I still want to eat more, but physically can’t and mentally know it’s wrong bc it’s past my limit. I have always dieted for years so I feel like I do get scared of over eating. It’s everyday a constant struggle. I thought being at my goal weight would make all the problems I felt at a higher weight than my preference disappear but if I’m honest… it made it sometimes worse, depending on the day. I beat myself up a lot and I’m working on that but I do constantly have the same insecurities plus more. I’m working on it tho. But in case someone out there thinks everything will go away. It won’t. Work and prioritize yourself, most importantly mentally. Be nice to yourself and do things for you. Not to fit in the size 6 jeans but for you.
@@Justjulie286 Thank you for your post. i got under goal for 4 years and recently gained a little (back to goal weight) and its been such a struggle. all those insecurities you talk about for sure.
I struggle with overeating as well. I know exactly what you mean by just wanting more than one.. being okay with a smaller portion is hard for me because I don't want to feel neutral. I want to feel FULL. I've maintained soooo easily for like three years. Up and down up and down over a long period of time made me basically be the same exact weight for the past three years. All because of overeating (well and a bit too much fast food haha). But yes I'm starting to learn more now ... I'm feeling more empowered than ever right now.
I get it on your parents being strict with portions. I’m so sorry you went through that. I was the only 1 in my household growing up who was overweight or so I thought. I was a size 7 when I hit puberty and felt so big compared to my siblings and mother. I remember my mom always trying to maintain a weight of 105-115 and if she reached the 115 mark it was onto dieting or just trying to shed that 10lbs. I definitely felt like the black sheep of the family all growing up. Now that I’m 42 and have been anywhere from a size 1 through a size 14 I’ve realized I’m just a normal woman with a normal body. I’ve had 3 children and I’m sitting at a size 10 right now. I think that’s pretty good. I have lots of fat and a saggy stomach, but I’ve earned it. I hope you know you are so beautiful no matter what size you are. You’re perfect just the way you are wherever you are at with your weight. I know I’m a little bit older than you, but as I’ve gotten older I’ve realized being a certain number on the scale isn’t what makes me happy it’s how I feel on the inside and out. When I look in the mirror now I’m proud of what I see and that makes me happy. Constantly wearing a smile holding our heads high and walking proud is the most sexy/beautiful thing a woman can do. ❤
I started my journey in January of 2020 and have been following you since. I love the food you make and see that you eat very healthy. It's frustrating when the scale number doesn't move 😒 I've noticed for myself that strength training has helped me immensely. I'm 115 lbs down and have kept it off for 4 years and know that on top of diet, strength training is vital for me. Maybe give it a try? Either way, you're amazing, and I love you and your content. Thank you ❤
Please remember that health and body size are two different things.Being and living a healthy lifestyle is solely for losing weight or to be a certain size or number on the scale.I’d be more concerned with blood workout than outer appearance.Life is short don’t pressure yourself to change the way you look or feel about yourself because of your size.❤️
I tried Ozempic (aka Wegovy) a year and a half ago and it did literally nothing for me. I noticed no difference in food noise, appetite or weight loss. I’ve struggled with weight my entire life. At 48 yrs old I’d had enough, physically life got harder after 40 being overweight. I always used to think of weight loss surgery as something that you did when you failed everything else or as the easy way out. I wish I wouldn’t have thought that and I wish I would’ve understood it better because I finally decided I needed to move forward with getting gastric sleeve surgery and I wish I would have done this 20 years ago, my life would’ve been different. After going through the educational part of this journey I now understand, weight loss surgery is the treatment for the disease of obesity. Why do we not allow ourselves to get treatment because of how others might perceive us? We don’t look down on someone for getting knee replacement surgery because their knee is damaged and they’re in pain, why do we do it with the treatment of obesity? Not saying you Amanda I’m referencing the human race. Anyway, I’m so happy it has helped me have a better relationship with food, still enjoy food, and get healthier and feel better with every pound lost. And I have definitely found out it is by no means easy, you still have to put in the work of exercise and healthy eating but you can still have joy from food as well. Anyway, it may not be the popular suggestion here but throwing it out there as an alternative to medication. You would have to wait to get pregnant but apparently it sky rockets your fertility after. Plus it’s an investment in the future to give your future children the gift of your health. Enjoy your videos and your recipes!
I was quite thin up until I was 30 and then developed thyroid issues and then a partial hysterectomy but I was thin because my mom never wanted overweight children and she gave us portion control. When my sister and I both left home and got married, we started eating and cooking for like a family of 10 because we wanted seconds we never got seconds in our home. So we both cooked a lot and ate more than we should have and put on weight.still have to learn portion control. When I really like something, I like to eat a lot of it.
Hi Amanda☀️. I don’t understand why, but if I have ANY carbs at all, I won’t lose weight! If it’s 1/4 cup of grapes even, I will stay the same weight. I cannot understand that! So, needless to say, the carnivore diet (with greens-ketovore), I lose weight. But where I really lose weight and feel great is when I fast for 24 hours! It’s when I feel my absolute best! 💗TIFF
Carnivore diet was and is my fav diet I’ve done I felt my best and lost fast so I totally get it. I think some people truly just can’t do heavy carbs it could be an insulin thing.
@@AmandaLewis Yes, I’m back on it right now! My birthday is August 24th and I truly want to enjoy Cheesecake Factory cheesecake but ugh, it makes me feel terrible the next day! But I don’t want to be an extremest either! I want to enjoy life!
I resonate with you about the overeating especially with how my parents kind of did the same thing. I also was put on salad diets from a very young age that wouldn’t last long and so when we would go back to eating whatever I would basically binge and that started a bad cycle from like 9-10 years old. It does go with you from childhood. That’s why I feel like carnivore keto works so well for me because I can eat so much protein and more veggies if needed to bulk up meals: like steak and a side of chicken lol and then I’m not hungry or feeling like I need more food in an hour.
I totally understand what you mean high protein carnivore is definitely my fav diet I’ve done and I hope I can find a good balance with diet and therapy / support on healing the over eating ❤
Certainly GLPs are not right for everyone. And if you are trying to get pregnant, it likely wouldn't make sense. But I have to say, being on a GLP one is very freeing. For the first time, a smaller portion makes me not just feel full (I have felt full and overly full plenty of my life), but totally and completely satiated. That is the difference for me, it totally takes away the urge to over eat. I am lucky because I have had very minimal side effects and have been on the lowest dose for 4 months and continue to lose each week.
I get it. I don’t want one potato, I want 3. The food I choose to eat is for the most part “healthy” food, but I can’t eat 3 servings of fish and rice and still expect to lose weight.,
I struggle with binge eating too I go from losing 50 pounds to gaining 60 back I rejoined WW last Wednesday cause I'd been eating like a feen and I could hardly walk cause I have multiple sclerosis and walk with a rollator and that extra weight kills my body I feel like I am my own worst enemy 😢I've been doing good and I think the act of tracking my food on the app helps me my Dr said I'm not a candidate for GLP-1 because I have thyroid issues
What’s crazy is people don’t realize that GLP1 medications can save you from that voice in your head. Free you from food. I’ve always had a voice in my head of none stop food noise. For the first time ever I’m free so yes taking a weekly injection is life changing for me. Along with losing 50lbs it has helped me with so much more addiction runs in my family and I am an alcoholic these meds help me not even crave it anymore! Along with my inflammation being gone, my A1C is finally going down for the first time in years I can go on and on but I truly say do you own research into it honestly oh and I have no side effects:)
@@AmandaLewisI could cry girl everyday I wake up and my brain is like cricketsss instead of thinking about what I’m going to eat when’s the next time I can eat I mean you get it it’s never ending it was honestly super weird at first haha I’m like wait what do I do now oh that’s right focus on my goals 😂😂
thank God u did research on it I told u everyone body isn't the same but being a diabetic for 34 yrs and eating crappy food that's y I haven't lost weight for the 5 months I been on it I just know some times we all have struggles I weight and etc.but I just wish people would understand Mandy we are human were strong I know I really know I can do this without taking ozempic I'm not losing weight anyway and I think I'm going to do this by the grace of God I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me we gonna be ok we don't have to take a shot just to lose weight I wasn't ready for the shot because I'm eating crapp but like I said always do u and we can't always have the same results of the shot just cause some else is having positive results hang in there Mandy I got ur back we can do this with or without the shot we gonna make it to our weight loss journey food looks good remember to do u put God first and everything were trying to do will fall in place oh by the way ur hair looks cute like that hello to you and all the family don't forget the little doggies In God we trust God blesses us all!!!
Your doctor is a runner and that is one person opinion obesity has been diagnosed as a disease maybe you should increase your activity or hire a nutritious.

It does go with you from childhood. That’s why I feel like carnivore keto works so well for me because I can eat so much protein and more veggies if needed to bulk up meals: like steak and a side of chicken lol and then I’m not hungry or feeling like I need more food in an hour.
I totally understand what you mean high protein carnivore is definitely my fav diet I’ve done and I hope I can find a good balance with diet and therapy / support on healing the over eating ❤
@@AmandaLewisI hope so too! It’s a delicate thing to try to find balance for and I feel will end up being a lifelong adjustment for myself.
I hope you ok. Miss ya!❤
I took semaglitude and it tore up my stomach so bad so if you have GI issues I wouldn't recommend it.
Thanks for sharing your food history .
Certainly GLPs are not right for everyone. And if you are trying to get pregnant, it likely wouldn't make sense. But I have to say, being on a GLP one is very freeing. For the first time, a smaller portion makes me not just feel full (I have felt full and overly full plenty of my life), but totally and completely satiated. That is the difference for me, it totally takes away the urge to over eat. I am lucky because I have had very minimal side effects and have been on the lowest dose for 4 months and continue to lose each week.
Great content Amanda
I get it. I don’t want one potato, I want 3. The food I choose to eat is for the most part “healthy” food, but I can’t eat 3 servings of fish and rice and still expect to lose weight.,
Your nails are gorgeous! I wish I had some carrots!
My problem was snacking . I nipped that in the but with fat free yogurt and fruit
Beautiful nails where did u buy coffee glass , can u also give carrot recepie
I struggle with binge eating too I go from losing 50 pounds to gaining 60 back I rejoined WW last Wednesday cause I'd been eating like a feen and I could hardly walk cause I have multiple sclerosis and walk with a rollator and that extra weight kills my body I feel like I am my own worst enemy 😢I've been doing good and I think the act of tracking my food on the app helps me my Dr said I'm not a candidate for GLP-1 because I have thyroid issues
I’m really happy you joined again and I hope you have the most success ❤
I can relate to everything you just said 😢
What’s crazy is people don’t realize that GLP1 medications can save you from that voice in your head. Free you from food. I’ve always had a voice in my head of none stop food noise. For the first time ever I’m free so yes taking a weekly injection is life changing for me. Along with losing 50lbs it has helped me with so much more addiction runs in my family and I am an alcoholic these meds help me not even crave it anymore! Along with my inflammation being gone, my A1C is finally going down for the first time in years I can go on and on but I truly say do you own research into it honestly oh and I have no side effects:)
This is life changing and so awesome !!!!
@@AmandaLewisI could cry girl everyday I wake up and my brain is like cricketsss instead of thinking about what I’m going to eat when’s the next time I can eat I mean you get it it’s never ending it was honestly super weird at first haha I’m like wait what do I do now oh that’s right focus on my goals 😂😂
❤
