I’m so tired of trying to lose weight. I’ve been trying this summer to not concentrate on losing weight but on just living my life. I’ve been very fortunate that my subscribers have stuck with me. I don’t think of you as a fraud. You are living the life that all of us live every day. Give yourself some grace Mary Fran

THanks for the encouragement. I enjoy your videos with just sharing your life and your stories and you sharing your books you are reading (I have the names scribbed on a piece of paper at my desk to add to my to read list!)

Ugh the boxing ourselves into the weighloss category is such a huge trap! I totally get it. That's why I stopped posting videos. I wanted to share other parts of me and my life but I was a "weightloss" channel. You're not a failure! 18 years of consistent effort isn't failure, that's determination! You're so not a fraud. You're human focusing your life toward a healthier path. Try not to be so hard on yourself!

Weight loss makes it so difficult to NOT box ourselves in because it touches literally every aspect of our lives!

@Aleeanxiousme 2 ай бұрын

@noexcuses_beliefinmyself very true... but it's okay to branch out. You''re so much more than just weight loss. Plus when things aren't going perfectly with the weight loss there are other things to keep you motivated and share with us :)

I too feel like a fraud because I have this activewear review channel, but I’m trying not to buy so much because my closet is exploding. I love watching your hikes and adventures, and will be here for whatever content you want to put out!

@noexcuses_beliefinmyself 2 ай бұрын

It's funny you would say that about your closet exploding. I have often wondered how bit your workout clothing collection was! Maybe do a video showing us what you have....or maybe if not that, show us the pieces that you were over and over. You know the ones that i"m talking about......your go to pieces! :-)

Sounds like a good direction! I did not start watching your channel because of your weight loss content…I watched because of the dollhouse ❤ But I stayed because you inspired me to get motivated to be healthier! Thank you for everything you share ❤ I do not think you are a fraud !

I do remember that you started to watch for dollhouses! I haven't worked on a dollhouse in ages.....it's so hard with finding the time...PLUS an overgrown puppy (zoey our newfoundland) who is into EVERYTHING!

Oh sweet friend, I can completely relate! That’s part of why I stepped away from WW. I was feeling such guilt for having a bowl of cereal or a PB&J. My weight hasn’t come off as I would like but the guilty feelings have eased and I am enjoying trying recipes and such again. It is a process but you are worth it!

@noexcuses_beliefinmyself 2 ай бұрын

It sounds as if you and I are in a similar place with the guilt and the weight not coming off and in the process walking away from things taht we enjoy (cooking and trying new recipes). I'm hoping to get closer to an intuitive eating plan....I just have to retrain my food addicted mind somehow!

Now I would be interested in how to properly pickle things cause I love and I know it might be a British 🇬🇧 thing a pickled egg and a good pickled onion

@noexcuses_beliefinmyself 2 ай бұрын

I may have to share some of my adventures in food preservation and canning and pickling. So, tell me more about the British version of pickled egg and onion. Here in the states we do a pickled eggs and beets. So the eggs are pickled in the brine (lots of vinegar) and beet juice, turning the egg a brilliant shade of pink. The beets are also edible and many times we add eggs to our pickled eggs and beets. So wondering now if it's the same thing for the British?

@GreyWolfFitness 2 ай бұрын

@@noexcuses_beliefinmyself now our pickled eggs are a brilliant white colour when pickled so we must did it differently and we have the shallot size onions as our pickled onions

Me too 100% I was not loving having a weight loss-centric or even self-development-centric channel. Also same on the weight loss journey thing started I suppose in 2019. That has all sorts of reasons, trauma, relationship with food, identity and beliefs. I branched out and guess what it has brought me more joy in life and I like having more joy!

@noexcuses_beliefinmyself 2 ай бұрын

Findihg joy in what we are doing is really what life is about! I have always thrown a bit of this and that in my channel and then felt gulity because it is/was a weight loss channel. But that is just craziness. If someone doesn't like it they don't have to watch and can choose what vids they want to watch and skip the rest.....making a mental note to make sure my titles and thumbnails are clear about the content! I have been loving your vids....so much fun!

Mary Fran you are not a fraud. Never put yourself down you will find the path through. I’m sorry I’ve not been online for the last three months. Hang in there. You are not alone big hugs.

Never be sorry for living life, taking care of life or as sometimes may be the case, holding on for dear life while life takes you on a spin. Living life is much more important that youtube. :-)

Life makes it hard to follow a weight loss plan sometimes. Go back to all the great tips you have given us. Try to keep focused on pushing away the foods that aren't good for you. I actually said no to my favorite cookie yesterday. That was a big success for me. I don't know what I would say tomorrow if that cookie is put in front of me again. Just take it one day at a time and try to stay strong.

good morning, Mary Fran, that's a good idea to step back and concentrate on what makes you happy. Maybe the weight will come off without you even trying. do healthy version of foods you like and film it. I like getting quick recipes to try out

@noexcuses_beliefinmyself 2 ай бұрын

I need to do more healthy version of foods and good recipes for weight loss (have your cake and eat it too style recipes!)
