Tammy, I suffer from depression and the first thing I do in the morning is go for a walk. I’m up to 6 miles a day but I started out slowly and now it’s a habit. It will start off your day in a healthy way and might help you stay on track.. just a recommendation. The important thing is that you get back on the horse and keep uploading consistently. That’s a big accomplishment in itself. I loved your little “Spice Girls” edit! Your voice is absolutely beautiful! ❤
Exactly a couple of years ago before I became crippled I lost 100 lbs and would go to the track 5 days a week . I follow macrobiotics I ate wakame miso soup 5 days a week ,seaweed helped me to lose a lot of weight. U CANNOT have that poison in ure home ever ,sugar is a poison too much salt is dangerous it's all about yin and yang The western diet is extreme yin, sugar , alcohol, drugs expansive energy . Extreme yang is constrictive energy like salt meat ,stress and pressure Americans eat extreme yin and extreme yang that is the diet so they swing back and forth between those two extremes If u are stressed and under pressure or had a lot of meat and salty foods ure body will demand balance from extreme yin which is sugar mostly or drugs or alcohol Just don't play the extreme game I follow a Japanese diet we don't eat all that poison. Some grains some beans , cooked vegetables, some seaweed ,miso soup little bits of fruit Macrobiotics is what got me to 125 lbs and away from some problems like migraines , and ulcers and such I cannot walk at the track anymore but I still maintain 125 lbs Also u need a hobby is food ure whole life because that is super boring get a hobby. Go to the bookstore the bookstore has a lot of secret books u will discover secret hobbies !!!!!!! Good luck
Also we allowed some fish Walking secluded is dangerous I study missing person cases in ure pursuit of health do not put ureself in danger I'm armed every time I go outside with a handgun ,maisse etc etc let someone know everyday ure location where u will be everry stop u intend to make and my god do not walk alone don't make ureself a target Do I really need to explain to u all what it's like to talk with families who have lost someone they are missing think people think be safe first Life is struggle and pain that's what the Fallen world is if u are not willing to struggle and fight why do u think u deserve a reward ?? Ure poison food was ure reward I'm skinny cause I did the work I don't get to eat all that garbage but I get to be skinny
I am suffering from anxiety and depression. I noticed that walking is really calming! I seriously wish I would of done this much sooner. I also talk to random strangers (they don't know me, so the convo is genuine) and it has been very rewarding. I need that interaction with other humans.
Your singing always warms my heart. All this horrible pressure of building things up & then releasing it onto food is a part of your journey which is entirely heartbreaking Tammy, but also keep in mind that it does not define who you are. I love your playful side even after a bad day (this shows in your editing) & your ability to accept things as they come while simultaneously still working on them with your therapist & on an private level as well. It's difficult to put into perspective our self-destructive mechanisms & the reasoning behind them. Sometimes it's best to slow down so as not to get overwhelmed by too much that we put on our plate without quite wanting to. Have a great week & thank you for sharing your journey with us.

I also try to get out and get sunlight on my skin everyday.
I’m glad u pointed out the way you avoided the extra steps that would’ve shown yourself self love and care (with eating out of a pan at the counter Vs plating ur food). Little steps like this make a big difference. Hope u can find the energy to show yourself love. Food effects our energy levels and how we feel WITHIN ourselves and ABOUT ourselves
You did NOT do anything wrong!! This was just a learning experience of great value. And keep in mind: it is AMAZING how long you didn't binge! Goodness! What a change!! So proud of you!
Ugh, I know the feeling you describe where the anxiety builds up and just becomes exhausting. In those moments I will do anything, even if it is against my best interests and I know better, to just have a “break” from myself. It is frustrating! You are always in my thoughts, and I really believe in you! Your new little one is so cute! ❤❤
Sorry for your struggles. Thank you so so much for your honesty. The algorithm hit me with this video right when I was spiraling into bad habits and half way through I got my shower running! ❤️ My home is 99% clear of snacks rn and I'm so close to buying more, but I needed this reminder to ride this wave it will make me feel worse way longer than is takes to binge. Really appreciate you!
I have always felt that I was the only one who struggles with food addiction, and is so undisciplined.😢 It is so hard, but it is good to know that other people do understand this battle.
I'm only a little part of the way through but I wanted to mention that your food 'rule' of not replacing a meal with unhealthy food has been such a game changer for me. I never even thought of it like that but now this is something that reduced a binge or even stops it completely as it takes my mind off it with an actual meal. Keep going Tammy! Not only are these videos helping you but they're helping and inspiring so many others like me!
Wait ,so you are thinking it is good to eat an entire meal after a binge or after a too high calorie snack ? How about just listening to your body and eating when hungry? I don't count every calorie but I estimate 500 per meal. If i choose to eat a donut instead of a healthy dinner that was my choice and i miss dinner. The next time i am in the situation I think hell no i don't want cake i want my dinner!! Having the cake and dinner as well is how you pack on pounds. Its the entire mindset of reward for food, which is toxic. Why reward your bad behavior? Why see food as a reward at all? Just eat to fuel your body. Sure it should taste good and be enjoyable. Healthy food can be that way
@@raquellambropoulos279 no noo totally different from how I meant it! A binge is definitely not a 'reward' in my mind as the impulse to binge usually comes from feeling sad or alone etc, when I binge I usually say okay well I won't bother with dinner as that will help bring down the calories at least it's a tiny bit better. With Tammy's rule i prioritise the full healthy meal and by the time I've done that most of the time the impulse to binge has passed entirely or I don't want to as I know I've already consumed the calories from my meal I don't want to make it 'worse' and eat more. I hope that makes sense as it's a difficult thing to explain 😅 my goal one day is absolutely to eat to fuel my body but I'm 27 years old now and have been struggling with disorder eating since the age of 11, it should be easy and straight forward to just eat normally but unfortunately I'm not there yet.
Tammy, I cannot thank you enough for sharing. Your videos are so relatable and truly make me feel like I’m less alone. One of the things that has helped me with binging has been reframing it as a form of self-harm. I used to see it as the only coping mechanism I had, but working with my therapist to reframe binges as acts of harm has really helped to snap me out of those intense urges when they occur. I’ve been in treatment for over a year and this has been the thing that helped most so far. I’m currently 2 weeks binge free for the first time since I can remember :) wishing you and all your viewers peace and encouragement!
Tammy I have never had a weight problem but your channel is inspiring cause you are showing how hard it is for so many with mental health issues & dealing with other things on top of it, also my last name is Lemon too!
I got into the terrible habit of keeping chocolate in my nightstand. I’m now attempting to stop eating chocolate in the middle of the night. I haven’t been able to get it under control in months, and I consider myself a pretty strong minded woman. It’s remarkable the power food has over us. Your videos are raw, real, and relatable. Your channel is about to take off, so I hope your ready for it. Your weight is just that…your weight. Try to remember that your worth is not measured in pounds and inches, but in deeds and actions. Your value is beyond measure, Tammy. You’re going to help thousands of women with your honesty.
Always happy whenever you upload :) I’m glad you’re getting back on track and taking care of yourself after a binge. Don’t punish yourself and continue to practice self love ❤ Also you are an amazing singer!
I’ve found I feel more in control lately if I focus on how I feel PHYSICALLY after binging or eating horribly. Emotions change too often and it’s harder for me to push away binge urges if I only focus on my emotional state. It ends with me tricking myself by getting happy and then binging. Since I had previously associated negative feelings with binging. But, if I tell myself that I will get sick or that I’ll get heartburn, it turns me away much easier.
Hi Tammy! First of all - so GLAD i found ur channel.. i share the same struggles as you are, i was lean as a kid but I stopped playing volleyball professionally and gained massive amount of weight afterwards that I couldnt get rid of for years.. along with emotional eating and binging problems. As someone who lived also in Amsterdam for 3 years (very recently moved out of NL), i have to say the food environment in NL makes it SUPER HARD to lose weight. Although general public seem to be really lean (Dutch people, as I saw, tend to eat very small portions) I struggled A LOT since if you are unable to cook on your own due to emotional distress (I was also almost working 10 hours a day + living alone) the options of -especially- ordering healthy food were limited and quite underdeveloped. The healthy options were always localized towards the centre of the city, and although distances are really short since its a small country, the delivery was not done in small businesses if its more than 1.5 kms away which is CRAZY compared to bigger countries. And in comparison, junk food options had much more stores in outskirts, and obv delivering everywhere. (Only talking about ordering, supermarkets are good in healthy food content) In such distressed situations, unless you have a car (which I didnt) or the energy to pick your food up, you would be %80 ending up with junk. I REALLY hope in NL this issue gets much better, and I don't know if you share the same problems, but it was really hard to deal with.
I am new here. But you caught my eye because I, too, am overweight. About 50 pounds. I am a senior so I have already had a good life and big family. But I am borderline diabetic and have seen the horrid complications of this disease. I had an eye stroke. Wake-up call for me. So I am on this journey with you. I lost 10 pounds in my first three weeks of low carbs and fasting. Then I had a craving for macaroni and cheese with stewed tomatoes. And I acted on it. I swear I gained a pound overnight. I hope I don’t do that again. But, like you, I am going to keep plugging away. I will be praying for you nightly. SO glad you are working on your body now. I wish I had when I was younger. The complications caused by obesity are endless. YOU have your whole life ahead of you. You can do this. 🙏🏻✝️👍🏻
How have you been doing since you made this comment 2 weeks ago, Americangal? Reducing highly processed foods, like the mac and cheese, is a good way to gain control and regain health. So is fasting as long as you are doing it in a way that is kind to yourself. I hope you are doing well.
Everyone's body and life experience is different so I'm not sure what advice to give you as I'm sure you've heard it all before and plus you're talking to professionals. Love your voice *its is like velvet, love your cats *give them a hug from this random stranger on UA-cam, and love your honesty and vulnerability. That shows how strong you are and that's half the battle. Don't underestimate your abilities...... you got this x
Tammy it's Tammy, I have depression, ocd, and other really bad mental health issues. They are due to me having lesions on my brain. I told you I have lost lots of weight, but the doctors say I need to still lose a good bit. I go through binge eating as well but mine may be for a day or two. My main issue is potatoes, and cappuccino. I'm 59 years old with lots of health issues. Lupus is my worst one. Pain on top of pain. You my love are young and beautiful❤❤❤❤ you can do this I believe in you!!!! Listen to your beautiful voice, you are so full of talent. You can do anything!!! Put the love you have for those children, into the desire to be there for them and do this!!! I believe in you!!! Xx
Celebrating 5 days of getting back on the horse with You and Your emerging self discipline in walking this new path. Wishing you well with your goals. I so resonate with the struggles you share of doing basic things. Navigating impulses and repetitive thoughts can be so hard and your self talk is beginning to keep You on track and give You the desired results, I kept hearing all the great things You are doing and have found your way through very difficult moments. You have great awareness around whats going on . I wanna acknowledge : Yes you binged and You also navigated your way through so many moments when you could have and didn't too. Keep going. You got this!
After my thyroidectomy due to thyroid cancer I can't hardly process the sugars from carbs. It spikes my blood sugar and I can't keep myself awake. Makes me feel so awful & sluggish. Still doesn't keep me from wanting it sometimes. Also just the depression really affects your energy levels. And hormones to which are always going up & down. The important thing is you haven't given up & still pushing forward ❤️
Don't beat yourself up too much about the occasional binge or getting behind on housework, etc. As long as you get back up, it's fine. I'm dieting as well and I eat extra protein to feel full longer and I avoid bread, pasta, rice, muesli. etc. For me it helps curb craving sweet stuff, but everyone's different I know
Many people many times have given her advice in regards to what a healthy diet looks like and she insists on eating her way. It literally would take simple small changes at her size to see immediate changes. I have told her numerous times that keeping bad food in the house is only going to destroy any progress eventually she will eat it. Frustrating to watch
New to your channel and so glad I found you ! When you describe how you feel it’s exactly how I feel - keep going and know that you are helping others with the same difficulties ❤
With the days/weeks that are more difficult, you are still able to honestly reflect on what happened and why, that alone is a reason to be proud. A few steps backwards is a part of any lifestyle change, but having watched only a few of your videos I know you're making progress and always getting back up
Een terugval kan gebeuren. Makkelijker gezegd dan gedaan maar probeer het achter je te laten, denk aan die lange binge vrije tijd die je daarvoor had. Probeer ajb weer terug op die weg te komen. Jouw laatste videos toen je binge vrij was, daar ben je zo sprankelend en je komt sterk over zelfverzekerd. Zo fijn om je zo te zien. Pas goed op jezelf en wees lief voor jezelf 🧡 Ook heel dapper van je dat je jezelf zo blootgeeft op UA-cam. Er zijn zo veel harde comments van mensen die totaal geen idee hebben wat iemand doormaakt met BED en jouw allerlei ongevraagde en onzinnige (voedings)adviezen geven. Ga gewoon door met waar jij je goed bij voelt 🧡 Je bent een mooie en sterke vrouw die nu al veel mensen inspireert door jouw pure manier van zijn.
I know exactly what you mean about wanting it all faster...but it's when I feel hurried that I mess up the most. I think focusing on not binging is where your energy is most important. And for now, any other good habits you can achieve are a bonus
Hey Tammy, I hope you're not stressing yourself too much about that last binge anymore and look forward. If you're noticing a physical and mental improvement after eating healthier, you could put that on a paper. I liked your "sheet" where you listed reasons why a binge happened, maybe you can do something similar by writing how you feel physically and mentally during/after a binge compared to how you feel while eating healthier. I still struggle with cravings, but thinking deeply about how healthy foods work as a better fuel for my body and live style and how sluggish I feel after eating a lot of junk, helps me with not giving into these cravings quite often. I appreciate your openness and wish you the best. ♥️
Tammy, I totally understand you and having binge eating disorder. I feel it is the hardest disorder to have. Because we have to eat to survive but when those urges to binge Pop up sometimes it is uncontrollable and unbearable. It sounds like you have tools that you’re using. And all we can do is keep trying. Have a good day.❤
Tammy, don't stress yourselve out. You don't have to lose weight quickly. You have to lose it consistently. I believe in you 💪 Focus on the things you are doing right. 😊
STOP and BREATHE! One step at a time and try to live in the moment. You recognize that you have an eating disorder and that's OKAY. YOU are doing the very best you can! Everyone has "stuff" in life that they are dealing with and some people have problems that are worse and/or less than others. You have got this!!!
Naw bless your heart I know these feelings all too well. 7 years ago I lost 65 kilos and I have kept it ofd but the struggle is still fresh in my mind! One day at a time hun xox
All i can say, u are very special! I love ure way to talk and how strong u are wzout knowing. Try to stay on track. U can reach every goal if u are never give up 💖
I binged for an entire week because I was on vacation . Than I got back on track on Monday and and Tuesday I binged again. It’s not easy. Hang in there 😢
I like to see your videos to see how you’re doing every once in a while, and while I can’t offer any advice, I can say YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL SINGING VOICE!!!
Hi Tammy. I don’t have an eating disorder but I do have a dependency on alcohol. As a kid I had OCD.at 11 back in the 70S I had Bulimia! At that time it was never heard of. I went to hospital to check why I was being sick. This followed me for years. I became as well as a binge eater an anorexic. Then later became alcohol dependant. The problem is to stop burying the pain. I believe every addiction is to stop feeling something.
Greetings, Miss Tammy. 😘 You have the beautiful voice of an Angel. Do you have the option of having grocery store pickup? You can get what you need, but won’t be tempted to overindulge. Just a thought. 🤔💡 Lots of love. 🍋♥️
Sometimes I'll eat bad stuff but will only do it after a healthy meal. That way the damage is far less. I've never purged though, told myself I gotta assume whatever I've eaten in honor of those who go hungry, at least. I know that for some binging is a bigger compulsion.
You are a lovely person and make sure to give yourself grace and forgiveness. I like how you decided to go back to your August goals - get into that habit before you add new goals. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Peace.
Your singing is so beautiful Tammy! Have you ever thought about joining a choir or singing course? It could help with depression? I’m thinking of doing it myself.
yeah I don’t like talking about my food problem to normal weight people because they literally can’t understand. it’s not so simple as it is to them to just don’t eat it, don’t buy it etc. the closes comparison I can think of is to being a drug addict or a alcoholic. we literally have almost the same cravings the same urges that same itch. we obviously know it’s bad and we will regret it later when we are on our “downers” but that urge is still so much stronger. I also get bad mood swings if I stop myself from getting what I want like super grumpy bitchy moody and I snap at people.
I just watched a video of a women who went from healthy to food processed food. She found that she would eat excessively 1,000 extra cals just to feel full. When she eats healthier, she said her body gets fuller and on less cals. When you said something about not skipping a meal even after a cookie, it made me think of her video. Great call! Good luck with your journey
Hoi Tammy, ik kwam toevallig op jouw UA-cam kanaal. Als iemand die vroeger geworsteld heeft met boulimia herken in die eetbuien en het verlangen naar een eetbui en dan ook niet meer kunnen stoppen zo ontzettend. Maar bij herstel hoort af en toe een terug val neem het jezelf niet te kwalijk, je zult merken dat de terug vallen steeds minder vaak voor komen en het uiteindelijk zelden tot nooit meer gebeurd, ik geloof dat jij dit gaat overwinnen! In de vlogs die ik tot nu toe gezien heb hoor ik dat je graag (en goed) zing. Is dit niet een hobby om verder te ontwikkelen? Het lijkt mij best goed om eens anders met je lichaam bezig te zijn dan alleen maar met afvallen, en kan je meteen je emoties eruit gooien. Wellicht het proberen waard?
Hi Tammy, I too struggle with overeating. I especially struggle with candy and sweet foods. I was wondering how about you start baking at home, using less processed ingredients? That way you feel like you've created something nice and also get to eat something yummy and healthier. 😋 You could also volunteer at a soup kitchen, that way you give back to the community and I'm sure it'll give you some extra boost of self confidence. Or anything like that really. Maybe that'll keep you busier and help avoid or postpone binging. Take care! 🤗🤗
I don't know if that speaks to you but there are AA type meetings for people addicted to food! (Overeaters anonymous) The AA movement helped me so much. I've been sober for years and also fine with food now. If there are no OA meetings in you area I'm such NA or AA would welcome you, because an addiction is an addiction.
Just found your channel. You are so brave to discuss your addiction to food. You have a new subscriber, sorry, trying to type with a fur baby in my arms.
That feeling of needing to stuff your face is really uncontrollable. Like, it’s a meth addict trying to not do meth. Every minute of the day becomes consumed with fighting the urge and it’s incredibly tiring. It has nothing to do with your lack of self control, be easy on yourself and keep moving forwards, it’s all learning and progress!
Such a gorgeous voice, singing, and talking too!! I'm new to your channel, and I can feel your struggle...and hate that such a beautiful person is dealing with that all day, every day. I'm sure that you must have covered the topic of Lap Bands, Gastric Sleeves, or newer procedures that are out there...things that would keep you from feeling so tortured all the time...and maybe you have a reason for not being able to have them. I would have to if that were me, because I can't stick to anything good for me for more than a week, LOL!!! I somehow was able to quit smoking, though, about 30 years ago after trying everything from patches to hypnotism...and even though I still crave them at times, I remind myself how difficult it was to quit, and I'm not willing to do that to myself again. I know you can find something that will work for you...be determined, and go after it!! ♥♥
You have such a beautiful voice ! I hope singing can help you relieve some of your anxiety. I am praying for you that you will be able to reach your goals. Just take it one day at a time. Just know that you are very much loved!
I argued with my mom because she wouldn't hide the cashews from me like I had asked, she was defensive and insultingly said, "well I just figured if you don't want to eat them, then don't eat them! It's just common sense to me!" I was so pissed, but I didn't say everything I had wanted to say. Like that she knows I have substance abuse problems, so why would food be any different... And that she has no problem trying to control when I buy chocolate chips, and hiding those even though she literally never eats or uses them... Anyway, I knew she was just being defensive. And she admits that she's never struggled with any of the things I struggle with, so she openly doesn't understand. She tries though, and I'm glad Stefan tries for you.
To y'all reading this: I recommend Glenn Livingston's book Never Binge Again. He shows you a few tricks that most of the time help me a lot. I haven't binged since reading it although I ate a few more snacks than I intended to eat but I haven't had this disgusting urge to binge which actually feels the worst. It's like a long-term solution. You do need to read it til the END before judging, otherwise it doesn't make sense. ❤️ After reading the book and watching a few of these videos I realized that I can't keep lots of sweet stuff at home without eating it out of boredom. If I want a snack I'm gonna buy it right away. That's my only solution.
Tammy, you need more of a schedule/routine in your life. You are home alone way to much and that isn’t healthy for you. Getting a low stress job would get you out, lift your mood, give you a healthy routine and help your eating plan.
Ik heb je begin deze week gevonden, zoooo herkenbaar allemaal.. weet je wat het is meissie, als je al die vreterij kunt kopen, ja vreterij 😁, heb je teveel geld om handen 😅 Zo ben ik 70 kilo afgevallen, ik was 160 kilo en had door omstandigheden ineens maar €40,- in de week, dat was twee weken zwaar afkicken, van alles, maar daarna, meid, ik begon te fietsen, te poetsen etc etc. Psychisch ging het ook ineens stukken beter, geen dwanggedachten etc, innerlijke rust.. Echt, Ik weet exact hoe je je nu voelt! Kom anders twee weken bij mij logeren 😂😜 ik heb een burnout gehad en daardoor weer teruggevallen en 35 kilo weer aangekomen, maar heb de slag nu weer te pakken, ben aan het wandelen iedere dag en veel vers eten, geen bewerkte rotzooi . Heel mooi dat je dit doet, je hebt de stem van een engel, en ben onder de indruk van je zelfbewustzijn. You go girl 😘 Ps. Ja ik doe het lekker in het Nederlands ☺️
You’re still doing good! You could explain it to people as an addiction. Eating disorders are very much an addiction. For you, saying no to a sugar craving is just like a smoker saying no to a cigarette. (I’ve recovered from eating disorders AND quit smoking so personal saw how very similar they are😅) it’s hard but you can do it!👍 you’re so strong you always get right back on the wagon 😄
Exercise..volunteering- hobbies- until a bigger amount of weight is gone - once you start to see results and once body is reprigrammed- much better chances!
There comes a point when a person simply cannot do it alone -and that is okay- i feel without an intervention to help- this will not change. Food has to be taken out of the picture & be given by others each portion at a time- all other times of the day doing everything but eat...physical work and
I schedule my meal times. It keeps me from snacking and when I feel like eating and it's not time yet, I find something to do or clean until my next planned meal.
hello tammy! i know you can do that! just be consistent, consistency is the key to reach your goals. i was 90 kg before and now i am maintaining my weight of 67kg. just eat healthy such as veggies, fruits, avoid sweets, avoid too much carbohydrates and always check the calories of the food you will eat. caloric deficit is very effective. and try to walk and do cardio exercises everyday. it will help you to lose weight. that is what i did.
That's the thing you need to realize is to remember how you feel after eating unhealthy. Maybe find something you enjoy that's even a bit healthier. If your able to move about even a short walk a day will help.. I was over weight my self. and step by step you will get there just need to have the right mindset and remember why you want to change. It's a lifestyle and isn't going to happen over night. Stay away from all the sugar and unhealthy carbs. Find new whole food meals you can make and reduce portion size. All this is key for losing weight.. You can do it just depends how much you want to change 🤷♂️. 💪
Going back to eating three meals a day is probably a good plan for you now. But.. I'd change it to eating ONLY three times a day. Period. Of course if you get the highly processed food-like substances out of your house, sticking to that plan will be easier and more productive.
I don’t know anything about BED but I know one of the first rules for a restrictive ED is to not have food rules…does maybe having so much focus on food rules and when you should eat and what you should eat etc maybe trigger your bingeing? Please note this is just a question/curious suggestion from someone who suffers from a restrictive ED…I don’t wish to sound rude or anything I’m just curious as to how similar the two EDs are.
i struggle with bed as well, its like it is a different person thats in front of u in your way not moving at all. You want the controlling person to gtfo but u cant, not until u have binged and feeling gross

Tammy, I suffer from depression and the first thing I do in the morning is go for a walk. I’m up to 6 miles a day but I started out slowly and now it’s a habit. It will start off your day in a healthy way and might help you stay on track.. just a recommendation. The important thing is that you get back on the horse and keep uploading consistently. That’s a big accomplishment in itself. I loved your little “Spice Girls” edit! Your voice is absolutely beautiful! ❤
Great job!!
Exactly a couple of years ago before I became crippled I lost 100 lbs and would go to the track 5 days a week . I follow macrobiotics I ate wakame miso soup 5 days a week ,seaweed helped me to lose a lot of weight.
U CANNOT have that poison in ure home ever ,sugar is a poison too much salt is dangerous it's all about yin and yang
The western diet is extreme yin, sugar , alcohol, drugs expansive energy . Extreme yang is constrictive energy like salt meat ,stress and pressure
Americans eat extreme yin and extreme yang that is the diet so they swing back and forth between those two extremes
If u are stressed and under pressure or had a lot of meat and salty foods ure body will demand balance from extreme yin which is sugar mostly or drugs or alcohol
Just don't play the extreme game I follow a Japanese diet we don't eat all that poison. Some grains some beans , cooked vegetables, some seaweed ,miso soup little bits of fruit
Macrobiotics is what got me to 125 lbs and away from some problems like migraines , and ulcers and such
I cannot walk at the track anymore but I still maintain 125 lbs
Also u need a hobby is food ure whole life because that is super boring get a hobby. Go to the bookstore the bookstore has a lot of secret books u will discover secret hobbies !!!!!!!
Good luck
Also we allowed some fish
Walking secluded is dangerous I study missing person cases in ure pursuit of health do not put ureself in danger I'm armed every time I go outside with a handgun ,maisse etc etc let someone know everyday ure location where u will be everry stop u intend to make and my god do not walk alone don't make ureself a target
Do I really need to explain to u all what it's like to talk with families who have lost someone they are missing think people think be safe first
Life is struggle and pain that's what the Fallen world is if u are not willing to struggle and fight why do u think u deserve a reward ?? Ure poison food was ure reward
I'm skinny cause I did the work I don't get to eat all that garbage but I get to be skinny
Also u are not the only one struggling I take care of people who are blind that is a struggle !!!!!
Life is hard , get to work if u want something
I am suffering from anxiety and depression. I noticed that walking is really calming! I seriously wish I would of done this much sooner. I also talk to random strangers (they don't know me, so the convo is genuine) and it has been very rewarding. I need that interaction with other humans.
Your singing always warms my heart. All this horrible pressure of building things up & then releasing it onto food is a part of your journey which is entirely heartbreaking Tammy, but also keep in mind that it does not define who you are. I love your playful side even after a bad day (this shows in your editing) & your ability to accept things as they come while simultaneously still working on them with your therapist & on an private level as well. It's difficult to put into perspective our self-destructive mechanisms & the reasoning behind them. Sometimes it's best to slow down so as not to get overwhelmed by too much that we put on our plate without quite wanting to. Have a great week & thank you for sharing your journey with us.
I agree! Her voice gave me chills !

I also talk to random strangers (they don't know me, so the convo is genuine) and it has been very rewarding. I need that interaction with other humans. I also try to get out and get sunlight on my skin everyday.
I’m glad u pointed out the way you avoided the extra steps that would’ve shown yourself self love and care (with eating out of a pan at the counter Vs plating ur food). Little steps like this make a big difference. Hope u can find the energy to show yourself love. Food effects our energy levels and how we feel WITHIN ourselves and ABOUT ourselves
Tammy your voice is literally ethereal! I’m so blown away,, it’s insanely impressive ❤️
I do appreciate you Tammy. You are very genuine. Waiting for your videos. Your problems apart, you are such a beautiful force. Thank you goorl!
I hope one day we’ll celebrate your victory over food. I believe in you, Tammy❤️
I so appreciate you sharing your struggles. You are helping many, myself included. I also want to tell you that you have a beautiful singing voice.
You did NOT do anything wrong!! This was just a learning experience of great value. And keep in mind: it is AMAZING how long you didn't binge! Goodness! What a change!! So proud of you!
Lique Faith - Excellent point - this is the right way to think ! Very positive ❤️
I've watched your channel too ☺️
@@ByeByeBelly 💖👍🏻
@Kristy Stone 👍🏻💖
Ugh, I know the feeling you describe where the anxiety builds up and just becomes exhausting. In those moments I will do anything, even if it is against my best interests and I know better, to just have a “break” from myself. It is frustrating! You are always in my thoughts, and I really believe in you! Your new little one is so cute! ❤❤
Anxiety is crippling and all-consuming. Hobbies help so much. Getting away and into a safe, locked zone on my own is super helpful to me too
Sorry for your struggles. Thank you so so much for your honesty. The algorithm hit me with this video right when I was spiraling into bad habits and half way through I got my shower running! ❤️ My home is 99% clear of snacks rn and I'm so close to buying more, but I needed this reminder to ride this wave it will make me feel worse way longer than is takes to binge. Really appreciate you!
I have always felt that I was the only one who struggles with food addiction, and is so undisciplined.😢
It is so hard, but it is good to know that other people do understand this battle.
Hello! Just wanted to say you sing beautifully! Your voice is crystal clear and so lovely :) glad you’re back on the horse.
I appreciate the hell out of your honesty. Thank you so much for continuing to post even if things aren't going as well as you want them to be.
I'm only a little part of the way through but I wanted to mention that your food 'rule' of not replacing a meal with unhealthy food has been such a game changer for me. I never even thought of it like that but now this is something that reduced a binge or even stops it completely as it takes my mind off it with an actual meal. Keep going Tammy! Not only are these videos helping you but they're helping and inspiring so many others like me!
Wait ,so you are thinking it is good to eat an entire meal after a binge or after a too high calorie snack ? How about just listening to your body and eating when hungry? I don't count every calorie but I estimate 500 per meal. If i choose to eat a donut instead of a healthy dinner that was my choice and i miss dinner. The next time i am in the situation I think hell no i don't want cake i want my dinner!! Having the cake and dinner as well is how you pack on pounds. Its the entire mindset of reward for food, which is toxic. Why reward your bad behavior? Why see food as a reward at all? Just eat to fuel your body. Sure it should taste good and be enjoyable. Healthy food can be that way
@@raquellambropoulos279 no noo totally different from how I meant it! A binge is definitely not a 'reward' in my mind as the impulse to binge usually comes from feeling sad or alone etc, when I binge I usually say okay well I won't bother with dinner as that will help bring down the calories at least it's a tiny bit better. With Tammy's rule i prioritise the full healthy meal and by the time I've done that most of the time the impulse to binge has passed entirely or I don't want to as I know I've already consumed the calories from my meal I don't want to make it 'worse' and eat more. I hope that makes sense as it's a difficult thing to explain 😅 my goal one day is absolutely to eat to fuel my body but I'm 27 years old now and have been struggling with disorder eating since the age of 11, it should be easy and straight forward to just eat normally but unfortunately I'm not there yet.
Tammy, you’re such a beautiful human being! Thank you for sharing your story! ❤
Tammy, you have such a beautiful voice! Love hearing you sing in your car! :)
Tammy, I cannot thank you enough for sharing. Your videos are so relatable and truly make me feel like I’m less alone. One of the things that has helped me with binging has been reframing it as a form of self-harm. I used to see it as the only coping mechanism I had, but working with my therapist to reframe binges as acts of harm has really helped to snap me out of those intense urges when they occur. I’ve been in treatment for over a year and this has been the thing that helped most so far. I’m currently 2 weeks binge free for the first time since I can remember :) wishing you and all your viewers peace and encouragement!
Tammy I have never had a weight problem but your channel is inspiring cause you are showing how hard it is for so many with mental health issues & dealing with other things on top of it, also my last name is Lemon too!
I got into the terrible habit of keeping chocolate in my nightstand. I’m now attempting to stop eating chocolate in the middle of the night. I haven’t been able to get it under control in months, and I consider myself a pretty strong minded woman. It’s remarkable the power food has over us.
Your videos are raw, real, and relatable. Your channel is about to take off, so I hope your ready for it.
Your weight is just that…your weight. Try to remember that your worth is not measured in pounds and inches, but in deeds and actions. Your value is beyond measure, Tammy. You’re going to help thousands of women with your honesty.
Always happy whenever you upload :) I’m glad you’re getting back on track and taking care of yourself after a binge. Don’t punish yourself and continue to practice self love ❤ Also you are an amazing singer!
I’ve found I feel more in control lately if I focus on how I feel PHYSICALLY after binging or eating horribly. Emotions change too often and it’s harder for me to push away binge urges if I only focus on my emotional state. It ends with me tricking myself by getting happy and then binging. Since I had previously associated negative feelings with binging. But, if I tell myself that I will get sick or that I’ll get heartburn, it turns me away much easier.
Tammy, your videos brighten my day. You are so brutally honest and transparent. It’s refreshing. Totally rooting for you!
You are a beautiful person! You have the singing voice of an angel!
Hi Tammy! First of all - so GLAD i found ur channel.. i share the same struggles as you are, i was lean as a kid but I stopped playing volleyball professionally and gained massive amount of weight afterwards that I couldnt get rid of for years.. along with emotional eating and binging problems.
As someone who lived also in Amsterdam for 3 years (very recently moved out of NL), i have to say the food environment in NL makes it SUPER HARD to lose weight. Although general public seem to be really lean (Dutch people, as I saw, tend to eat very small portions) I struggled A LOT since if you are unable to cook on your own due to emotional distress (I was also almost working 10 hours a day + living alone) the options of -especially- ordering healthy food were limited and quite underdeveloped. The healthy options were always localized towards the centre of the city, and although distances are really short since its a small country, the delivery was not done in small businesses if its more than 1.5 kms away which is CRAZY compared to bigger countries. And in comparison, junk food options had much more stores in outskirts, and obv delivering everywhere. (Only talking about ordering, supermarkets are good in healthy food content)
In such distressed situations, unless you have a car (which I didnt) or the energy to pick your food up, you would be %80 ending up with junk.
I REALLY hope in NL this issue gets much better, and I don't know if you share the same problems, but it was really hard to deal with.
I am new here. But you caught my eye because I, too, am overweight. About 50 pounds.
I am a senior so I have already had a good life and big family. But I am borderline diabetic and have seen the horrid complications of this disease. I had an eye stroke. Wake-up call for me. So I am on this journey with you.
I lost 10 pounds in my first three weeks of low carbs and fasting. Then I had a craving for macaroni and cheese with stewed tomatoes. And I acted on it.
I swear I gained a pound overnight. I hope I don’t do that again. But, like you, I am going to keep plugging away.
I will be praying for you nightly. SO glad you are working on your body now. I wish I had when I was younger. The complications caused by obesity are endless.
YOU have your whole life ahead of you. You can do this. 🙏🏻✝️👍🏻
How have you been doing since you made this comment 2 weeks ago, Americangal? Reducing highly processed foods, like the mac and cheese, is a good way to gain control and regain health. So is fasting as long as you are doing it in a way that is kind to yourself. I hope you are doing well.
Everyone's body and life experience is different so I'm not sure what advice to give you as I'm sure you've heard it all before and plus you're talking to professionals. Love your voice *its is like velvet, love your cats *give them a hug from this random stranger on UA-cam, and love your honesty and vulnerability. That shows how strong you are and that's half the battle. Don't underestimate your abilities...... you got this x
I can listen to you sing all day, such a lovely voice. You should post a video just of you singing different songs etc lol.
Hey Tammy - I love the way you speak and explain. I enjoy watching/listening to you. No beating yourself up!!!
You are an awesome and precious person Tammy.
Tammy it's Tammy, I have depression, ocd, and other really bad mental health issues. They are due to me having lesions on my brain. I told you I have lost lots of weight, but the doctors say I need to still lose a good bit. I go through binge eating as well but mine may be for a day or two. My main issue is potatoes, and cappuccino. I'm 59 years old with lots of health issues. Lupus is my worst one. Pain on top of pain. You my love are young and beautiful❤❤❤❤ you can do this I believe in you!!!! Listen to your beautiful voice, you are so full of talent. You can do anything!!! Put the love you have for those children, into the desire to be there for them and do this!!! I believe in you!!! Xx
So nice to see you today … it’s given me a break from news about hurricane Ian . I live in Florida ⛈🌬
Celebrating 5 days of getting back on the horse with You and Your emerging self discipline in walking this new path. Wishing you well with your goals. I so resonate with the struggles you share of doing basic things. Navigating impulses and repetitive thoughts can be so hard and your self talk is beginning to keep You on track and give You the desired results, I kept hearing all the great things You are doing and have found your way through very difficult moments. You have great awareness around whats going on . I wanna acknowledge : Yes you binged and You also navigated your way through so many moments when you could have and didn't too. Keep going. You got this!
After my thyroidectomy due to thyroid cancer I can't hardly process the sugars from carbs. It spikes my blood sugar and I can't keep myself awake. Makes me feel so awful & sluggish. Still doesn't keep me from wanting it sometimes. Also just the depression really affects your energy levels. And hormones to which are always going up & down. The important thing is you haven't given up & still pushing forward ❤️
Keep singing. It's truly a gift.
Don't beat yourself up too much about the occasional binge or getting behind on housework, etc. As long as you get back up, it's fine.
I'm dieting as well and I eat extra protein to feel full longer and I avoid bread, pasta, rice, muesli. etc. For me it helps curb craving sweet stuff, but everyone's different I know
Many people many times have given her advice in regards to what a healthy diet looks like and she insists on eating her way. It literally would take simple small changes at her size to see immediate changes. I have told her numerous times that keeping bad food in the house is only going to destroy any progress eventually she will eat it. Frustrating to watch
New to your channel and so glad I found you ! When you describe how you feel it’s exactly how I feel - keep going and know that you are helping others with the same difficulties ❤
With the days/weeks that are more difficult, you are still able to honestly reflect on what happened and why, that alone is a reason to be proud. A few steps backwards is a part of any lifestyle change, but having watched only a few of your videos I know you're making progress and always getting back up
Your new cat is just the cutest I’ve ever seen!!! ✨🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍✨
I respect ur honesty this helps motive me because I just came from off a binge. And today I feel like crap
It's ok. Ride through the emotion. That's how we improve. Keep moving forward.
Her videos are so relaxing 🥹😭💕
Een terugval kan gebeuren. Makkelijker gezegd dan gedaan maar probeer het achter je te laten, denk aan die lange binge vrije tijd die je daarvoor had. Probeer ajb weer terug op die weg te komen. Jouw laatste videos toen je binge vrij was, daar ben je zo sprankelend en je komt sterk over zelfverzekerd. Zo fijn om je zo te zien. Pas goed op jezelf en wees lief voor jezelf 🧡 Ook heel dapper van je dat je jezelf zo blootgeeft op UA-cam. Er zijn zo veel harde comments van mensen die totaal geen idee hebben wat iemand doormaakt met BED en jouw allerlei ongevraagde en onzinnige (voedings)adviezen geven. Ga gewoon door met waar jij je goed bij voelt 🧡 Je bent een mooie en sterke vrouw die nu al veel mensen inspireert door jouw pure manier van zijn.
I know exactly what you mean about wanting it all faster...but it's when I feel hurried that I mess up the most. I think focusing on not binging is where your energy is most important. And for now, any other good habits you can achieve are a bonus
Hey Tammy, I hope you're not stressing yourself too much about that last binge anymore and look forward.
If you're noticing a physical and mental improvement after eating healthier, you could put that on a paper. I liked your "sheet" where you listed reasons why a binge happened, maybe you can do something similar by writing how you feel physically and mentally during/after a binge compared to how you feel while eating healthier. I still struggle with cravings, but thinking deeply about how healthy foods work as a better fuel for my body and live style and how sluggish I feel after eating a lot of junk, helps me with not giving into these cravings quite often.
I appreciate your openness and wish you the best. ♥️
i love the authenticity on your channel.
I love your singing voice. I had to replay that last section and listen closely. It was your voice I had preferred over the stereo. Very lovely.
Tammy, I totally understand you and having binge eating disorder. I feel it is the hardest disorder to have. Because we have to eat to survive but when those urges to binge Pop up sometimes it is uncontrollable and unbearable. It sounds like you have tools that you’re using. And all we can do is keep trying. Have a good day.❤
Try to fight this girl. You have a gorgeous voice. Stay strong. ❤
I would recommend filling up your week and staying busy, preferably outside the house
Good tip to write out your feelings. I want to do that more and also get back to hobbies. Your voice is beautiful!
Tammy, don't stress yourselve out. You don't have to lose weight quickly. You have to lose it consistently.
I believe in you 💪 Focus on the things you are doing right. 😊
Your honesty is very helpful. I binge but also starve so I understand where you are coming from.
I believe in you 🫶🏽 I’ve struggled with eating too, Be easy on yourself 💕
STOP and BREATHE! One step at a time and try to live in the moment. You recognize that you have an eating disorder and that's OKAY. YOU are doing the very best you can! Everyone has "stuff" in life that they are dealing with and some people have problems that are worse and/or less than others. You have got this!!!
Naw bless your heart I know these feelings all too well. 7 years ago I lost 65 kilos and I have kept it ofd but the struggle is still fresh in my mind! One day at a time hun xox
You can do this. I’m in your corner. Persistence !
All i can say, u are very special! I love ure way to talk and how strong u are wzout knowing. Try to stay on track. U can reach every goal if u are never give up 💖
I binged for an entire week because I was on vacation . Than I got back on track on Monday and and Tuesday I binged again. It’s not easy. Hang in there 😢
Over eating does not = binge. You over ate because you were on vacation
I like to see your videos to see how you’re doing every once in a while, and while I can’t offer any advice, I can say YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL SINGING VOICE!!!
Hi Tammy. I don’t have an eating disorder but I do have a dependency on alcohol. As a kid I had OCD.at 11 back in the 70S I had Bulimia! At that time it was never heard of. I went to hospital to check why I was being sick. This followed me for years. I became as well as a binge eater an anorexic. Then later became alcohol dependant. The problem is to stop burying the pain. I believe every addiction is to stop feeling something.
I think you're handling this well, and thank you foor your honesty as always.
And I love D&D too!
Greetings, Miss Tammy. 😘 You have the beautiful voice of an Angel. Do you have the option of having grocery store pickup? You can get what you need, but won’t be tempted to overindulge. Just a thought. 🤔💡 Lots of love. 🍋♥️
Sometimes I'll eat bad stuff but will only do it after a healthy meal. That way the damage is far less. I've never purged though, told myself I gotta assume whatever I've eaten in honor of those who go hungry, at least. I know that for some binging is a bigger compulsion.
You are a lovely person and make sure to give yourself grace and forgiveness. I like how you decided to go back to your August goals - get into that habit before you add new goals. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Peace.
Your singing is so beautiful Tammy! Have you ever thought about joining a choir or singing course? It could help with depression? I’m thinking of doing it myself.
yeah I don’t like talking about my food problem to normal weight people because they literally can’t understand. it’s not so simple as it is to them to just don’t eat it, don’t buy it etc. the closes comparison I can think of is to being a drug addict or a alcoholic.
we literally have almost the same cravings the same urges that same itch. we obviously know it’s bad and we will regret it later when we are on our “downers” but that urge is still so much stronger. I also get bad mood swings if I stop myself from getting what I want like super grumpy bitchy moody and I snap at people.
I just watched a video of a women who went from healthy to food processed food. She found that she would eat excessively 1,000 extra cals just to feel full. When she eats healthier, she said her body gets fuller and on less cals. When you said something about not skipping a meal even after a cookie, it made me think of her video. Great call! Good luck with your journey
Hoi Tammy, ik kwam toevallig op jouw UA-cam kanaal. Als iemand die vroeger geworsteld heeft met boulimia herken in die eetbuien en het verlangen naar een eetbui en dan ook niet meer kunnen stoppen zo ontzettend. Maar bij herstel hoort af en toe een terug val neem het jezelf niet te kwalijk, je zult merken dat de terug vallen steeds minder vaak voor komen en het uiteindelijk zelden tot nooit meer gebeurd, ik geloof dat jij dit gaat overwinnen!
In de vlogs die ik tot nu toe gezien heb hoor ik dat je graag (en goed) zing. Is dit niet een hobby om verder te ontwikkelen? Het lijkt mij best goed om eens anders met je lichaam bezig te zijn dan alleen maar met afvallen, en kan je meteen je emoties eruit gooien. Wellicht het proberen waard?
Hi Tammy,
I too struggle with overeating. I especially struggle with candy and sweet foods. I was wondering how about you start baking at home, using less processed ingredients? That way you feel like you've created something nice and also get to eat something yummy and healthier. 😋
You could also volunteer at a soup kitchen, that way you give back to the community and I'm sure it'll give you some extra boost of self confidence. Or anything like that really. Maybe that'll keep you busier and help avoid or postpone binging.
Take care! 🤗🤗
I know how it is. Stay strong and today is a new day❤
I don't know if that speaks to you but there are AA type meetings for people addicted to food! (Overeaters anonymous) The AA movement helped me so much. I've been sober for years and also fine with food now. If there are no OA meetings in you area I'm such NA or AA would welcome you, because an addiction is an addiction.
Just found your channel. You are so brave to discuss your addiction to food. You have a new subscriber, sorry, trying to type with a fur baby in my arms.
just here to say I wish you the best and you singing while driving is a whole ass vibe lol.
That feeling of needing to stuff your face is really uncontrollable. Like, it’s a meth addict trying to not do meth. Every minute of the day becomes consumed with fighting the urge and it’s incredibly tiring. It has nothing to do with your lack of self control, be easy on yourself and keep moving forwards, it’s all learning and progress!
I love you Tammy you got this girly 🌺🙌🏼🙋🏻♀️💃🏻
You know, you really have a beautiful singing voice, Tammy. I also love to sing in the car and shower, but I'm sure no one else would like to hear it!
This is a formal petition for you to make a separate channel of singing!
Such a gorgeous voice, singing, and talking too!! I'm new to your channel, and I can feel your struggle...and hate that such a beautiful person is dealing with that all day, every day. I'm sure that you must have covered the topic of Lap Bands, Gastric Sleeves, or newer procedures that are out there...things that would keep you from feeling so tortured all the time...and maybe you have a reason for not being able to have them. I would have to if that were me, because I can't stick to anything good for me for more than a week, LOL!!! I somehow was able to quit smoking, though, about 30 years ago after trying everything from patches to hypnotism...and even though I still crave them at times, I remind myself how difficult it was to quit, and I'm not willing to do that to myself again. I know you can find something that will work for you...be determined, and go after it!! ♥♥
You have such a beautiful voice ! I hope singing can help you relieve some of your anxiety. I am praying for you that you will be able to reach your goals. Just take it one day at a time. Just know that you are very much loved!
I argued with my mom because she wouldn't hide the cashews from me like I had asked, she was defensive and insultingly said, "well I just figured if you don't want to eat them, then don't eat them! It's just common sense to me!" I was so pissed, but I didn't say everything I had wanted to say. Like that she knows I have substance abuse problems, so why would food be any different... And that she has no problem trying to control when I buy chocolate chips, and hiding those even though she literally never eats or uses them...
Anyway, I knew she was just being defensive. And she admits that she's never struggled with any of the things I struggle with, so she openly doesn't understand. She tries though, and I'm glad Stefan tries for you.
Omg your life is my life !!!!! Lol I feel so much better watching your videos. I don't feel so alonr
To y'all reading this: I recommend Glenn Livingston's book Never Binge Again. He shows you a few tricks that most of the time help me a lot. I haven't binged since reading it although I ate a few more snacks than I intended to eat but I haven't had this disgusting urge to binge which actually feels the worst. It's like a long-term solution. You do need to read it til the END before judging, otherwise it doesn't make sense. ❤️
After reading the book and watching a few of these videos I realized that I can't keep lots of sweet stuff at home without eating it out of boredom. If I want a snack I'm gonna buy it right away. That's my only solution.
I'm blown away by your singing voice! ❤
You are learning, keep fighting, I have faith in you.
Tammy, you need more of a schedule/routine in your life. You are home alone way to much and that isn’t healthy for you. Getting a low stress job would get you out, lift your mood, give you a healthy routine and help your eating plan.
Love hearing you sing
Come listen to me sing!
@@GypsyRock dude..
Ik heb je begin deze week gevonden, zoooo herkenbaar allemaal.. weet je wat het is meissie, als je al die vreterij kunt kopen, ja vreterij 😁, heb je teveel geld om handen 😅
Zo ben ik 70 kilo afgevallen, ik was 160 kilo en had door omstandigheden ineens maar €40,- in de week, dat was twee weken zwaar afkicken, van alles, maar daarna, meid, ik begon te fietsen, te poetsen etc etc. Psychisch ging het ook ineens stukken beter, geen dwanggedachten etc, innerlijke rust..
Echt, Ik weet exact hoe je je nu voelt! Kom anders twee weken bij mij logeren 😂😜
ik heb een burnout gehad en daardoor weer teruggevallen en 35 kilo weer aangekomen, maar heb de slag nu weer te pakken, ben aan het wandelen iedere dag en veel vers eten, geen bewerkte rotzooi .
Heel mooi dat je dit doet, je hebt de stem van een engel, en ben onder de indruk van je zelfbewustzijn. You go girl 😘
Ps. Ja ik doe het lekker in het Nederlands ☺️
You’re still doing good! You could explain it to people as an addiction. Eating disorders are very much an addiction. For you, saying no to a sugar craving is just like a smoker saying no to a cigarette. (I’ve recovered from eating disorders AND quit smoking so personal saw how very similar they are😅) it’s hard but you can do it!👍 you’re so strong you always get right back on the wagon 😄
Exercise..volunteering- hobbies- until a bigger amount of weight is gone - once you start to see results and once body is reprigrammed- much better chances!
There comes a point when a person simply cannot do it alone -and that is okay- i feel without an intervention to help- this will not change. Food has to be taken out of the picture & be given by others each portion at a time- all other times of the day doing everything but eat...physical work and
I schedule my meal times. It keeps me from snacking and when I feel like eating and it's not time yet, I find something to do or clean until my next planned meal.
omg your voice is stunning! this is my first time hearing it!
hello tammy! i know you can do that! just be consistent, consistency is the key to reach your goals. i was 90 kg before and now i am maintaining my weight of 67kg. just eat healthy such as veggies, fruits, avoid sweets, avoid too much carbohydrates and always check the calories of the food you will eat. caloric deficit is very effective. and try to walk and do cardio exercises everyday. it will help you to lose weight. that is what i did.
🎉congrats. Keep it up. And keep encouraging others with ur story.
That's the thing you need to realize is to remember how you feel after eating unhealthy. Maybe find something you enjoy that's even a bit healthier. If your able to move about even a short walk a day will help.. I was over weight my self. and step by step you will get there just need to have the right mindset and remember why you want to change. It's a lifestyle and isn't going to happen over night. Stay away from all the sugar and unhealthy carbs. Find new whole food meals you can make and reduce portion size. All this is key for losing weight.. You can do it just depends how much you want to change 🤷♂️. 💪
I love your singing voice Tammy! You got pipes girl! ❤
Going back to eating three meals a day is probably a good plan for you now. But.. I'd change it to eating ONLY three times a day. Period.
Of course if you get the highly processed food-like substances out of your house, sticking to that plan will be easier and more productive.
Bless your heart. ♥️🙏🕊♥️
You have a beautiful singing voice.
I don’t know anything about BED but I know one of the first rules for a restrictive ED is to not have food rules…does maybe having so much focus on food rules and when you should eat and what you should eat etc maybe trigger your bingeing?
Please note this is just a question/curious suggestion from someone who suffers from a restrictive ED…I don’t wish to sound rude or anything I’m just curious as to how similar the two EDs are.
i struggle with bed as well, its like it is a different person thats in front of u in your way not moving at all. You want the controlling person to gtfo but u cant, not until u have binged and feeling gross
I love how honest you are. I wish we could be long distance friends!
