BUYING MY DREAM SOFA & DOCTORS APPOINTMENT | VLOG [tw: ed]

[@MsG.W]

Tammy, I'm not sure your scale is accurate, 4g would be less than a teaspoon and that looked more like a tablespoon (over 100 calories).

[@mariapriest4106]

You're right she even put oil on the other side first. 4-5ml of oil is very little this looks a lot more around a tablespoon.

[@gyrlgeorge]

I love that you care about bees! They are so important to our ecosystem, and their numbers are dropping every year. If I wasn’t allergic I’d own hives!

[@totukimou]

If bees disappear from nature, we have 6 months to survive! We will consume everything that grows on earth, worms and bugs, are going to starve, bird, cows, and then us!

[@lindsay9992]

I love bees too. They are so under appreciated.

[@alycenx]

Lol I had a bee land on a VERY expensive bag I was carrying yesterday and we had a lovely conversation about how she has great taste in fashion but she can’t stay unless she can contribute to rent, she left immediately 😂 I know I’m so odd.

[@vickiemouse2359]

Sometimes they need a “fasting” blood draw! I’m so glad you are getting good medical care!!! Taking time for yourself is so important! I feel like you are doing all of the right things! This is a journey, not a quick trip! Be kind to yourself🫶 You are worth it😻 We can’t get groceries delivered here. I wish we could but it’s a very small town with one grocery store. Love to you and your fur babies! I love being a part of your LemFam🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋

[@tay7366]

The bee likes it there , they like a place that sees the sunrise usually. You need to buy a bee hotel mine gets full of solitary bees every year ❤

[@MissLizzy184]

Please be careful with the kitties and the electric recliner. We got some and my kitty got squished by it when my partner reclined. She’s fine but just gotta be careful with them getting under there. Congrats on the new couch!

[@robindarling890]

Nice to see you Tammy. Your new couch is very nice and you looked comfortable on it. Stay strong, you're doing great. Have a fabulous day Sweet Lemon.🍋🍋🍋🍋

[@lizmegginson3138]

Hi Tammy, from S Africa. Thanks for that interesting info about the bees. I did not know there were so many solitary bees. I always thought they stayed with the Queen. Good luck with Overeaters Anonymous. It didn't work for me, but it was group sessions. If yours is one on one, it might be better. Don't apologise about the oil. It looked like olive oil which is super healthy. Sunflower oil is worse than sugar. I never count calories, just carbs, below 20g per day. Good luck with the blood work. I really love your cats x

[@gyrlgeorge]

Me too! No sugar (for me) and I keep my carbs below 20 grams and I lost 55 lbs and got down to 135 lbs (where I feel comfortable) almost 5 years ago and I still eat this way. Most importantly I’ve kept all the weight off. I find this way of eating super easy as well.

[@lizmegginson1614]

​@@gyrlgeorge Well done! I also do intermittent fasting 18/6 and lost 77lbs. Hoping to lose about another 50lbs or so.

Hello from a Cranky Turtle in West Virginia 💙💛

[@cindylewis7072]

[@AmberClementine]

I had the same struggle a few months ago, trying to get blood work done, very very proud of youuuuu! You did it whoooot!🥳

[@EsmeraldaWolfsbane7777]

Good to see you back 😁🤍

[@marthainsalaco9266]

Hello from United States 🇺🇸 Love your videos Tammy

[@lillybell2557]

Chicken with broccoli would be enough.

[@AzaleaBee]

I agree. The highly processed potato product can't be healthy.. certainly isn't helping with weight loss or insulin management. But just the chicken and broccoli? I think small portions of other things would benefit Tammy with that meal. A dab of fermented foods like vegetables? Small sides like olives or avocado for the fat and phytonutrients? Colorful vegetables and/or mushrooms? Certainly onions/leeks or other foods for prebiotics. Little dabs of food for variety, texture, nutrients, and gut biome health can make a big difference.

[@MadMadMandy]

Maybe you can ask the person drawing you blood if you can please just get the cottonball without the sticker/medic-tape and close your arm over it for a bit, I'm certain she'll allow it. There's imo no reason for you to put yourself through that - some might think it's "silly" that you feel that way, but a lot of people have things they discreetly avoid (I don't walk on gravel if I can avoid it. It icks me out.) But it's also fine not to, I know it requires energy for that as well. Hope you have a good day! ✌

[@reapsow3003]

Olive oil is actually pretty good for u

[@aliciaa9850]

Hope you come back soon!

[@jguitar23]

Popping in to strongly recommend an air fryer. You can add normal sautee ingredients, only a little oil. It makes cooking healthy tasty stuff easier because you don't have your nose over the pots and it is faster. Result gourmet with meat, veg combos. I got a 4 litre, happy with this size which makes 2-3 full servings at a time.

[@VnessaVannez]

Hello from Turkey-Istanbul. I have night eating syndrome,Feels like I won't be able to sleep if I don't eat. I hope I can resolve this internally.

[@laurelpowell8536]

Same, I even sleep eat.

[@milkyoni]

Dang girl you getting some nice new furniture

[@marilouo4321]

can you protect the new couch so that the cats don't use it as a scratching post?

[@leonaheraty3760]

Hi Tammy. That's so sweet that you care about the bee. You are so sweet and kind to all creatures, great and small. The Lord God made them all. 😊 Yes, healthy oils, like olive oil and avocado oil, are great to cook with. Keep up the great work! 😊

[@ashleigh_whatever]

Loving that you now have a little bee friend. Yuki was so sweet sleeping on the lounge so deeply he didn't even know that there was food right in front of him.

[@niray3123]

It is not pronounced You-ge!! You keep saying that all the time 😅 It is pronounced Hu-ge!

[@ashleigh_whatever]

I have upped my protein too, and I am feeling so much better. You dinner looked delicious!

[@MarshaMarshaMarsh4]

Do you still use/LOVE the flexible arm rest?

[@vedmiirloth8303]

We're always planting zinnia flowers to attract bees. Especially those big blue ones (carpenter bees, I guess?). I love those guys 😄

[@gyrlgeorge]

How will you keep your cats from destroying your new couch 😂?

[@designchik]

It looks like she’s ordered it upholstered in a microfibre fabric, which is pretty good with cats. It tends to snag less, particularly if you keep their nails trimmed. I’ve had microfibre sofas before, and they’re pretty durable. Hope it works out that way!

[@rosameijering5161]

That bee is cutr indeed.

[@vividesiles3763]

I had my blood drawn Yesterday too, hoped it went okay for youu

[@gyrlgeorge]

Me too. I fasted for 2 days to make sure they get my cholesterol levels right. I’m lucky, they do my blood draws out of my chemo port 😂

[@AzaleaBee]

@@gyrlgeorge Fasting too long before a blood test can actually show high cholesterol levels that can alarm doctors who are not in the know about nutrition and fasting. At least three days before a test it's best NOT to fast for a full day and to eat well. Of course the evening before the test fast the required hours that they tell you.

[@lucyheart8033]

@@AzaleaBee So eat normally for 3 days before a blood draw. Then fast the night before or the required time to fast per your doctors orders. ???

[@AzaleaBee]

@@lucyheart8033 Exactly. My doctors prefer that I eat "normally" for 5 days before a blood draw and then fast the night before a draw but they as I use fasting for pain management without prescription drugs they've said that three days should be sufficient. I put 'normally' in quotation marks because it is more the norm for what doctors consider normal. Regular fasting is my normal.

Weighing your oil like that is not accurate, Tammy... Weigh it separately.

[@idontreallyknowlol]

I haven't watched you in a couple months & your background has gotten so much cuter! I love all your decorations :)

[@justine8387]

I love the lemon vase that someone sent her it is super cute

[@katrinac469]

Not all oil is good for you, olive oil and avocado oil is the best, NOT veg oil, corn oil, canola oil

[@mancillado]

Canola oil is perfectly fine and very high in omega 3s actually

[@queenmarynovelwriter5397]

Congratulations on your new coach and enjoy your friend the bee.

[@unomex3x]

Honest question... not trying to be mean... but if you have a freezer full of food and five days worth of vegetables why are you ordering groceries? It's easier for me not to binge when I don't have large quantities of food in my house or if I'm just eating to live so to speak and not just eating things I highly prefer all the time...only eating for sustenance not for enjoyment. I have a history of disordered eating and emotional eating so I don't keep large quantities of food in my house...I just eat what's there and if I don't really want it then I know I'm not truly hungry...... just a thought

[@hazelnutcase357]

Maybe she's like me. If I have all my food favourites freely available filling my fridge/freezer/cupboard then there is too much there for anyone to finish it before I get to it. 🤷‍♀️ If I know it is there, I don't get cravings. I only eat what I want when I want and enjoy it. If I want a chocolate bar or icecream, then I eat that instead of a meal. I usually want real food thou. Most nutritionists/dieticians push for "3 healthy meals a day" this makes you eat your comfort foods in addition to normal meals - and that's where the guilt and overeating starts.

[@Hatterhouse]

Congratulations

[@danishmodern55]

Thamar - I think you would love some Magnesium gummies at night for sleep :) great for blood sugar lowering as well.

7.13 That's a huge amount of food. Find a health professional that will help you reduce your eating to normal levels or help you increase your activity level. I've watched you for ages now and I don't see any positive change to your eating habits. If you don't like my opinion, then don't show your food plates - I'm here for your kit-e-kats - luv 'em.

[@georgemanize]

it's not really that much. She is a tall woman and at her weight she would easily lose weight if she ate a simple breakfast, the amount she showed for lunch and then half of it for dinner.

[@hazelnutcase357]

@@georgemanize it's enough on the plate for our family's meal. I'll stop with the judgement once I see her at a reasonable weight.

[@reneez8227]

@@hazelnutcase357 your family doesn’t eat much then 😅 I’m also Dutch and we are a lot taller than other people in the world. We need a little bit more food.

[@hazelnutcase357]

@@reneez8227 It's called providing Tammy with some reality. Quantity of food required for survival varies widely. Amber is still alive after gaining over 50 elbees in several months, Eugenia is alive and she probably doesn't even weight 50 elbees. I hope Tammy doesn't go the way of Amber.

[@AzaleaBee]

@@reneez8227 More than a little excess fat on my body was last year's hamburger or food from a long ago late party. Body fat IS food and Tammy has plenty. Moderate meals of whole foods for her with no eating at least 12 hours out of every 24 (basically early dinner to breakfast after daybreak) will do her wonders.

[@kristijones4236]

I have a question about weighing food.. how do you account for the container it's in? Thanks

[@jennarigo1832]

Tarring the scale!

[@kristijones4236]

@@jennarigo1832 I'm sorry. What does that mean?

[@jennarigo1832]

You put the container on the scale first, then hit the tar button so the scale resets to zero with the container on it, then place to food in the container to get just the weight of the food!

[@gyrlgeorge]

Tare the scale to zero after you put the container on it.

[@lubingruby]

If you recorded one of your binges, you would get massive views.

[@AzaleaBee]

"Massive views". I hope you are joking. At the expense of Tammy's health, massive views are not worth it. But Barta sparta is correct, Tammy has indeed recorded and uploaded her binges.. even at least one with the title 'mukbang".

[@monster1942]

your meals look really balanced, and i completely agree on the oil clip. we need oil to survive and adding some to your meals is not only healthy it makes the meals more filling and satisfying. also

[@AzaleaBee]

It depends on the oil, including the olive oil.

[@monster1942]

@@AzaleaBee as long as its not extra virgin olive oil being used with heat its not really a difference when using 4 grams. We don't even think twice about the oils we take in just by eating ready made foods from the store

[@AzaleaBee]

@@monster1942 I agree that ready made from the store are a problem for a lot of people.. but many of us DO think twice. The source of the olive oil is important too, particularly how it is made, how long and how it is stored including before it reaches our homes. Healthy fats.. fatty fish, good sourced and stored EVOO (not heated as you said), nuts and seeds (in moderation particularly for weight loss) are something we can all probably agree on. Good sourced eggs and marbled meat are also healthy sources. But maybe not something everyone agrees with.

[@AzaleaBee]

oops.. and avocados of course. :D

[@laurelpowell8536]

We don't require oil, I never eat it. We require fat in our diet though.

Much better thumbnail! Your video description still needs editing.

[@AzaleaBee]

Your unsettling vivid dreams... I'm not trying to diagnose you but research orexin, also known as hypocretin, which is a neuropeptide produced in the hypothalumus (deep part of our brain). A lack of orexin or decreased receptors for it can be a cause for sleep disorders, vivid dreams/ hallucinations, poor mood, poor memory, etc. The only way to test for orexin levels is a lumbar puncture which is too invasive. But .. if adjusting your blood glucose via diet, exercise, and intermittent fasting improves the problem most likely it was due to lack of orexin or of orexin.

[@AzaleaBee]
