Let me know which of these 8 tools you're most likely to implement?

[@littleroomillustrations]

Food prep. I do not enjoy time in the kitchen, so getting stuff prepared and ready to go really helps me eat according to plan. More likely to 😂

For me, I am focusing on the input rather than the outcome. I was in the hospital in March and have lost 40 pounds since then but have 40 to 50 pounds left to lose. The thing is, I had been working a fulltime job plus doing end of life elder-care for the past few years. My relative passed away and I started walking 7 days ago and was really discouraged already that it didn't take even an ounce off this week as if working hard didn't matter. But I came here already self-talking myself that I can't look at the results or I will stop and it can't work if I don't actually do it. Your video reinforced what I was already needing to say to myself.

[@gingergail7849]

​@@wishingb5859 Weight loss and weight gain happen over time. We don't gain it in a day, and it won't come off in a day. It's healthier to lose weight over time. It also helps with skin sagging, which can be worse if you lose weight too rapidly. Start with eating whole foods and being kind to yourself.

[@peacefulsleep7052]

I lost 10 pounds just from weighing myself every day. Struggling to lose more because I'm a quitter. Your video has really helped me.

[@christinapalafox]

That "wait ten minutes to see if I still want it" thing? It works. That's how I got off drugs. I would be emotional, tired, whatever, and want to get high, and would stop, say okay, I can smoke crack if I still want to in an hour, and take a nap or something. About 99% of the time I chose not to. If it works in meth, heroin, and crack, you can definitely use it to lose weight.

[@aisnow5788]

I am so happy for you!❤

[@tulabead]

Thank you for sharing. I am going to try this technique!

[@tjtexas5130]

1:06 - Tool 1 Create environment to make it easy to succeed 2:55 - Tool 2 Reward rather than punish 5:04 - Tool 3 Have an “oh crap” plan 7:11 - Tool 4 Don’t make impulsive decision around food 9:23 - Tool 5 Measure your progress - inputs and outputs 10:15 - Tool 6 See behavior on a steering wheel rather than a dart board 11:14 - Tool 7 Reframe your negative self talk 13:00 - Tool 8 Create a core weight loss meal you love

[@MlleJulliette]

4:48 I have never read How to Win Friends and Influence people, however, I have an amazing mother that taught me that exact principle- point out the things people do well! I had a coworker that annoyed everyone. I decided to write her a letter and I expressed all of the things that she did well. She began to excel and started to fix the disruptive behavior she had before. She was so grateful AND, because I took the time to look at the good in her, I began to love her (in a platonic way) and enjoyed being her coworker.

[@MRS.SammeK]

That is so sweet and a great reminder even for children.

[@dg8828]

I love your pep talks. I think this week I will focus on the "more likelys"

[@morganlipton311]

I’m more likely to stay on track if I keep listening to your pep talks. Always here for it!

[@i2sky532]

Awesome as usual!! I tell myself all the time, "Stop quitting!" LOL and I unashamedly give myself stickers as rewards.😂

[@kathy.7475]

I have been weighing myself daily for many years, at least ten. I log it in a notebook and I can look back to see what I weighed Christmas years ago. This has really helped me stay on track.

[@Genxgurl]

“Success is not about making perfect decisions, but about consistently avoiding dumb decisions”. Great point from this video. I have a heard time with this and pendulum swinging when I can’t achieve 100%.

[@carolannmartin798]

I don’t understand why there are so many views for Chelsea Mae’s KZbin videos but so many people don’t bother to press the like button. It’s such an easy thing to do. I hope this doesn’t dissuade her from posting because she is very informative and encouraging to everyone who is persuading a whole food plant based life style.

[@Kelly-pp1et]

Just because you watch a video, doesn’t mean you like it or want to bother tapping on any button.

[@sherri.]

I doubt she’s losing sleep over the like button.

[@Shannylaice]

This is a good reminder for me, I honestly watch and love so many videos but never even think to hit that like button 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@tissiereeves4953]

The only difference I've made is just don't stop. Whether it's working out or eating right don't stop doing it

[@jimmyryan5880]

I was on my way to the shop to get some junk snacks and just put on this video while I was putting my shoes on. I just had a healthy snack and on my way to get some veg

[@PropheticCoachTheresa]

Hey Chelsea! I'm back to WFPB diet after several years of f-it and winging it. Whiiiicch resulted in the predictable. 😅 Just want to acknowledge your commitment to staying true to the WFPB lifestyle and helping people! Very proud of your evolution with your content and message. Many blessings to you and family! 💜💜

[@Cafeaulait906]

You are my guru for this journey! You make so much sense! I especially love your video where you stress that we have to simplify food prep. I too get bogged down with thinking I have to make complicated tasty recipes and then I end up not eating healthy and not following through. I plan to change that. Thank you Chelsea for the candor and the really encouraging sustainable advice. 😊

[@NomadicSheep01]

Great video. Lots of tips for being better at life and not just weightloss. Leaving this comment for the algy and so I can come back and watch it again.

[@liznewark]

Normally don’t find this content useful but I affirmatively shook my head with each tip. These tips are also helpful for me in other areas, too. Thanks

[@afsanehtajvidi3586]

You’re simply a gem! Thanks for sharing this! You can apply these principles in any aspect of life, not just weight loss👏👏👏❤❤❤

[@kellymaltaric954]

I too love your pep talks! I’ve been mostly wfpb, 100% vegan for almost 4 years and I can’t believe I’ve never done something you suggested, I don’t always have one particular meal in my kitchen. You said yours is sweet potato, broccoli and tofu. I don’t know what mine is but I’m going to figure it out and start that habit. I feel like…duh why didn’t I think of that. Thank you Chelsea!

[@moniqueg868]

All of them. They all sound pretty good. Nice concise presentation too.

[@rohannawildon9729]

You should write a book❤

[@ChelseaMae]

That’s the goal. Now to just use all these little hacks to actually impliment

[@JkBee]

The best talk on weight loss…I’d love a support group or program to develop the skills you talked about

[@lindakrajcso1398]

This was really inspiring, thank you! Thanks to you, I almost always have cooked potates in my fridge and that is my go-to-snack with some sea salt on it. And I can never get tired of it. 🙂

[@kellymaltaric954]

I forgot to mention that I’m also going to try your tip on allowing myself to have a vegan treat but waiting a little while. I’ve never done that but I feel like it will totally work 😊. Thanks again!

[@MrandMrsSmith-ey6wp]

My struggle is so real right now. Weight has been shifty, joints are hurting like crazy and I’m binge eating so bad! I’m starting to workout again. I’ve had several people make fun of me with how much I eat and weigh. It’s crushing my spirit. I already don’t want to be around anyone as it is because I’m insecure and think people are judging how I look and what I say. Trying to get my dr to order autoimmune bloodwork. It’s crazy because ever since o turned 40, struggling with my weight has been so real!

[@nataleekelly2496]

What a fantastic perspective! I really appreciate you sharing this great info that's not too hard, but very do-able. Thanks Chelsea for sharing your success with others! You're the best! 😄💕

[@tanyarogers6336]

Your vids lately are so fantastic

[@jeanettecaspersen7464]

This woman is so wise and my no. 1 motivational person to change and stick to a healthy life style. Thanks for sharing, Chelsea ❤

[@twinklemarsh]

You have a super calming voice. Great video! Side note - you reminded me of a young Jodie Foster!

[@ViolAM3]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!! SO glad KZbin recommended your video/channel this morning! New subscriber :) Both my son and I need to lose weight (I have 40 lbs to lose! Covid, plus baby at age 39 has been brutal for my weight gain). I have been so afraid of giving my kid the same food insecurities I had, so this positive focused method will be so helpful for us both! :D P.S. My middle name is Mae too!

[@efany82]

Totally applicable advice! Thank you!!

[@xanticristos]

Liked and subscribed after hearing tool 1. Soooo helpful thank you

[@yaseenhadi7419]

Hello from iraq chelsea just wanted to say your videos are very deep and informitive. Thank you and keep up the great content

[@elephantintheroom5678]

I reckon the best way to lose weight is to find ways to make healthy food and drink really delicious. To find ways to make exercise really enjoyable. And to find ways to make going to bed early really attractive.

[@peacefulsleep7052]

Amazing and to the point. Thank you. 🙏🙏🙏

[@TonyaNelson-hl6yo]

I’ve really been getting a lot out of your videos! Thanks for all of the mindset tips or cheats. I’m going to work on having a core meal. ☺️

[@cre1182]

I enjoy your way of explaining things, your approach is easy to listen to!! On a side note, you look like a young Jodie Foster. Great video!

[@coraaugusta8736]

I enjoy watching your videos. I like that you’re realistic and down to earth. I’m wondering how you get enough protein in your diet, as I often see you focusing mainly on vegetables. I enjoy eating lots of veggies but feel like I struggle to get enough protein every day.

[@anniejones5171]

Great video!!! All helpful ideas. You present these in a way that feels accessible. Thank you! You definitely have a teaching gift!

[@DonnaClements-l4m]

This is just thee best and most helpful "talk" on how to effect true change and achieve weight loss and so much more. I will enter my 7th decade this coming March, 2025. My grandmother started me on the dieting yo yo wagon when I was 13 years old. WHAT a hamster wheel I have been on ever since. Grapefruit diets, STARVATION DIETs (designed K& implemented by ...ME) all of which has led to contracting T2D and a plethora of other medical/physical issues. I feel like I have been at war with me for ALL these past decades. I ALSO feel like I just found the help that is going to help me win the whole damn war and every battle in between THANK YOU for this video.

[@seng9190]

Great message

[@misse7095]

Love your dartboard analogy. 🎯

[@lisaw8202]

Excellent video, thanks! More likely....more likely.....

[@lindakennedy4616]

Excellent! I’m going to wait a minute while I decide if I really want a treat/snack/additional helping etc.

[@2twentysix]

Thank you 🙏

[@janiegulick5674]

Another great video, thank you! I’m going to figure out an “Oh Crap” plan, sounds like something I could use

[@jobielifehappens7102]

Thanks so much for this encouragement!

[@i2sky532]

YES! Weigh daily!!!

[@toniawilkes4423]

Definitely adding more veggies has helped me.

[@symoneh.]

I can’t eat the same thing everyday. Kudos to those who can but the core of this video is good.

[@wendywertz8828]

Love Atomic habits book it helped me so much ❤

[@woodsTjackets]

May I know how do you cook the sweet potatoes in the oven? Do you drizzle with EVOO etc, herbs and salt before putting into the oven?

[@yugotuber]

I live on a very very tight budget, I cannot afford that much fresh vegetables, only once or twive throughout the month. Has anyone tips for eating healthy in a money pinch?

[@debiwillis9045]

Frozen are just as good as fresh

[@jenniferschaffer1625]

💯

[@robertakeogh8650]

What do your tattoos mean?

[@DelusionDispeller]

Did you always have all those tattoos?
