Good evening Tessie- There is this saying, that most people won't make any big changes unless they are sufficiently motivated. I would say you are sufficiently motivated... looking forward to the next chapter ~ Diane

[@Gail-og6ye]

Tessie you are our kind of you-tuber! Don't say you are not a professional you-tuber because you are. Don't compare yourself to others. You are a unique influencer and one that I don't want to miss watching every night. You are real, honest and so beautifully humble. I use to be a subcriber to other channels but decided to unsubscribe because I felt I could no longer connect with their topics or personality and felt that there was to much "fluff" that I didn't appreciate. You look tired Tessie but before you know it your energy will be back. I once heard the saying "eat to be healthy and the weight will come off. Not eat to lose weight to get healthy. That has stuck with me and when you look at it this way it just seems easier. Love your finds and I really enjoy your channel content. So happy you are feeling better. That childhood like in you makes you special.

Oh my goodness Tessie….. I so identify with the overindulgence of certain things! Ice cream Is my kryptonite! I’ll buy a tub, believing that I will only have a scoop each day …..Duh! Five bowls later, and the tub is almost empty….. and then I feel ashamed of myself for being a glutton. I realise that I am an ‘all or nothing’ person, so ice cream is off the shopping list!

Medical crises change us in ways we are not even aware of till much later. I am going through several medical issues right now, and I am trying to heed my best friend's moto--stay positive. It isn't always easy, but she went through a liver transplant 8 years ago and is back to better than ever, both physically and emotionally. I strive to be like her and try to rise above all the tests, procedures, surgeries, etc. I know you can achieve your goals because you are focused and realistic. And a hard worker. Good for you, keep up the good work.

Dear sister I have had to do this and have been doing this for a few years now… we only eat hotdogs that are all beef or deer meat from deer we harvest ourselves.. I make all my bread and bread products from fresh ground wheat and rye grains.. we eat rice but it’s again real rice and as close to its original form… I can a lot of food from the garden and make all my own ketchup, mustard, pasta sauce and and and… now since we started doing this we have cut out about 99% of all convenience food.. this means I cook and make everything three times a day… its a lot of work but my husband and I are healthier by far… even with my auto immune disease and with cancer… hubby has lost a lot of weight and is now off his bp meds!

You Ms Tessie are in a SUPER position for getting rid of commercially processed foods. Those foods have 2 or more ingredients plus "extras. Many of these things can be made at home without the "extras" because well, they are simply made with 2 or more ingredients. And, you have the skill, tools, a d equipment to do so; probably a recipie or two in a cookbook too.

[@NattyHomeMaker]

It can be hard changing the way you eat. But once your on a routine, and you have your mind set, you will do wonderfully. Don't let others deter you, your doing the right things. It may seem like your missing out sometimes, and you may miss your favorite foods. But after a while you won't miss it. Heck you might find that the food you use to eat taste weird or it may not agree with you anymore. I was on a Paleo diet for 3 years. Nothing was processed. And I was strict on myself not to touch any kind of processed foods. It was hard watching others around me enjoy the foods I use to love. But I kept at it. I ate well. I Wasn't deprived, I still ate meats, poultry, nuts, fruits, vegetables. The way I felt body and mind, was incredible. I had energy, I slept well, my anxiety was gone, I felt lighter, happier and I lost the weight I wanted to lose. And the best part was I reversed my diabetes diagnosis without touching any meds. So it's all beneficial in the end. I did however resort back to eating the crappy food. But lately I'm feeling like getting back at eating healthy again. So keep on going Tessie.Your inspiring me to do the same. ❤

[@julissugarpiecottage6499]

[@LLjean-qz7sb]

I don't want a professional You-Tuber! I want a down to earth You-Tuber....and that is what I found i your channel and in you! So glad you are starting your new way of eating and I know you will feel so much better! As long as you check carbs and limit them to under 20-30 grams a day and eliminate all the processed foods and ingredients( if you cannot pronounce it....don't eat it!!!)you will do fine! If it does not walk around or fly or swim, don't eat it! If it does not grow in the ground, on a bush or on a tree.....don't eat it! In the Bible, the Lord tells us how we should eat and what He has provided for us to eat! Granted some of it is relevant to the Jewish faith, but still applies to everyone! When you start looking at carbs, you will be surprised at how much you can eat without overdoing it! Generally eliminating "white" foods, cover a lot of the "bad" foods we should eliminate! Unfortunately, the Amish and Mennonite way of eating are very high in carbs! ( but delicious!!....that's the problem) But the primary ingredient to avoid is white sugar and corn syrup!!!! Natural sweeteners are better if you need some sweetener, but used sparingly!(natural, pure maple syrup, stevia, ( you can grow it in your garden, dry it and grind it into a powder) monkfruit, and a few others you can look up. Any bread you buy at the store is considered "processed" and probably be avoided( with the exception of organic sourdough bread, it is fermented) Your homemade bread is most likely healthier than store bought. Ezekiel bread is mentioned in the Bible with the ingredients! The wheat we use today(GMO) is not the same wheat that was used years ago, and our body does not recognize what to do with it. Bread made with ancient grains( look them up) is much better than our bread made with our GMO wheat flour. The flour used in Europe is not GMO and is regulated by law and their breads and pastas are healthier than ours! They can eat the bread and noodles and not gain the weight or have the health issues that we have! I don't think they even have much, if any, gluten intolerance! So, my prayers are with you on your food journey, and I know you will do fine! God Bless!😊❤🙏

[@terryhenderson424]

For the time being, work on healthier eating and let the weight come off naturally. When you work on that liver, organ, and internal fat the weight doesn't always stuff right off. For many people when the liver and other organ fat goes away, weight loss across the rest of the body becomes easier and also much more pleasant.
