My Weight Loss Struggles

[@Tamara_R_Blodgett]

This needs to be said. I knew there was something going on but I just discovered you when I found your carnivore cookbook. No one.knows your battle but you. Don’t let trolls define you. All of us who put ourselves out there are brave. Period. Maybe the message is bigger than their jealousy or meanness 🤷🏻‍♀️ onward. You’re doing a positive thing ❤️

[@JSway-fp4mj]

This one hit me hard. Thanks for being raw and real, your candor is helping others. “Hurt people, hurt people.” That was such a powerful statement. Thank you for all that you do. ❤

[@1truthseeking8]

I just found this video after commenting on another video of yours..I was looking for EXACTLY this! ... I was SERIOUSLY ASKING "for understanding" ...again, NOT JUDGING... just wanting to know... Thank you for your honesty. I did NOT find -very- -many- "any" who have gone "carnivore" that are as thin as you are and it was something that I just wanted to understand. (Also just recently saw a fairly mean video by a vegan: "carnism is cancer" ...a very mean and unbalanced video...) Thank you for being honest AND authentic... both are VERY rare qualities in this world!

[@meatdog]

@@1truthseeking8I could not agree with you more. I was vegan many years ago and it totally wrecked my health. Eating an ancestrorialy appropriate diet has brought me back to and surpassed my health goals. I'm sure my Viking and Neanderthal ancestors are smiling on me now. LOL. Maria needs all the love we can send her and you have done just that my friend. We need love and support in our community. Have a blessed day .

I have an 18 year old daughter that’s underweight and struggles to put on weight. She gets hurt when people comment on how skinny she is. Let’s stop commenting on people’s body and appreciate who they are. I think you’re amazing Maria. Thank you for all the free content and recipes.

[@MariaEmmerich]

Thank you! ❤❤❤

[@papazjose1274]

I wish people would stop commenting on other people's body & appreciate who they are. Unless you are 4 yo, or delusional, we know this will never happen. In life what happens to you does not matter as much as how you react to what happens to you. Therefore, I am suggesting for parents to teach resilience to their children. Teach them to grow a thick skin, and how to feel good in their own skin, no matter what. At the end of the day, each of us should be able to remind self that "what you think of me is not any of my business. Please, note that I am not saying that one should not complain about haters' mean BS. They should, all I am saying is regardless of what people say it is each one of us responsibility to build a thick skin as haters are here to stay, and make the world go around with the rest of us. Anyway, hoping that your daughter can soon find a way to ignore the haters & be happy.

Maria, so many of us in this community love what you do and need what you do! The internet can be a very hateful place.

[@megantillman2824]

My prayers are with you through this difficult time. I have lost 85 pounds with a keto diet and then hit a long plateau. I started carnivore a couole of weeks ago and have lost 8 pounds. While I want to lose another 14 to get to my goal, I am very aware of the possibility of losing too much. My mother has been underweight for many years. She is on hospice and is under 80 pounds. I have tried so many different things to help her gain weight and none of it worked. People don't realize how hard it can be for some people to gain weight and she is one of them. I also work as a speech therapist with patients who are underweight. There really is no way to get someone to eat more when that is not something they want to do. I have been learning about ways to maintain once I reach my goal to avoid losing more or gaining again. Anyways, I just wanted to say that I do understand and I'm sorry you have had to deal with such negativity. Thank you for the information you share and having such a good heart that inspires you to reach out to help so many. God bless.

Hey Maria…we love you and appreciate what you are doing for us all. You are right…hurt people truly hurt people. I’ve wondered why you’ve been posting less lately and now I know. Please don’t let the nay sayers dissuade you. Those of us whom you help on a daily basis are so grateful for your content. You clearly have a lot on your plate and I’ll pray for you and Craig. I’m sorry to hear about his condition. Truly sorry. You have inspired me to stop longer term fasting and carb consumption. I bought several of your cookbooks a few years ago and loved the recipes,but didn’t realize how debilitating carb withdrawal is. I also didn’t realize the extend of my carb/sugar addiction until last month. I started BBB&E (beef, butter, bacon and eggs) last December 1st for 30 days and never felt better. I dropped 13 pounds and seemingly drained by body of inflammation overnight. I’ve been on “Ketovore” since January 1st adding back chicken, fish, a bit of dairy and seasonings. I’m going back on BBB&E February. Once I get through February, I’ll start adding back foods to see what my sensitives are. I clearly have a problem with plant foods, just not sure which ones yet. But with you’re help, I’ll get there! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO! You are truly an inspiration to us all!

Healthy! Glad! Energetic! Motivated! I thought "Yes! she is doing it right,just look at her!" Maria, i do not have health problems, i was not overweighted. Your way of eating Keto have change my mental health and changed they way i react to life's difficulties ,gave me energy to give to my kids and my work, more focus and i am finally calm!

Bitte weitermachen. Danke für deine Arbeit. Wenn du dich gut fühlst, dann können dir die anderen mal egal sein. Es ist nicht leicht, in der Öffentlichkeit etwas „Wahres“zu unterrichten. Ich danke dir jedenfalls. Du bist eine ehrliche, coole, leuchtende, authentische Person. Lebe es. Ich finde deine Arbeit wichtig und aufrecht. Katrin von Germany

Thank you for your kindness and support ❤️

I really appreciate you talking about this difficult topic. After the last 3 yr struggle, I am trying to get my life back and I discovered your recipes. I was contemplating buying some of your books and materials and quite frankly there was a question in my mind if you understood what it was like to live as an obese person because you look so natural and healthy at your weight its hard to imagine that you arent a naturally thin person. It really does help me to know you understand the struggle on a very personal level. I certainly have no clue what it feels like to be criticized for being too thin. I struggle with how intertwined fitness and thinness is with society's view of attractiveness and value of women. I hope you will talk more about these things. I would listen to your Ted Talk!!! ☺️

Maria, I think you are beautiful. I also got the "you are too thin" comments so I adjusted my WOE... and put on a few kg. BUT. ...,I don't feel as awesome as I did when I was "too thin". You have just inspired me to find my happy place again. Much love.

[@MariaEmmerich]

Many blessings to you sweetheart!

Most of us who are willing to coach or lead others on this path of healing, are still in the process of being healed. So it's not surprising that we have ups and downs too! I admire your strength Maria.

[@MariaEmmerich]

So true! ❤️

[@jenna6256]

You're a beautiful spirit !! Thank you for all you do !!

[@tiar476]

If you feel good, then it has nothing to do with anyone else. Having being abused physically and mentally for 65, I make a point of NOT hurting people and being extremely careful with the words I choose. They are the ones with problems not you. I love you as you are and I love your energy and attitude and so do a lot of other people and that's what counts.🥰🤗

[@MariaEmmerich]

I am so sorry sweetheart! Sending healing prayers to you 🙏❤️

[@lynnepollack7991]

If your doctors are saying you are at a fit and healthy weight for you celebrate it. Mean people are just mean. I’m not quite 5’2” at 165 lbs. when I started my journey I was close to 195 +. Stopped weighing at. 193. Then A1C. 8 and climbing. Now A1C 6.5. I’m still in process and hope to reverse or remission my Diabetes. I hate the medication more than hateful people. They are just sad. I have learned a lot from you. Please keep helping.

[@Bethanyfarmhomestead]

I met you a few years ago at Ketocon. I did not do a good job of praising your contributions. You are deeply under appreciated for what you do. But, you are a warrior and I’m attracted to you warrior women. Rock on sister! Most criticism is a reflection of others failure not our own. 💪🏼😍

[@terryriley7490]

So sorry to hear that you're being picked on for your size...I enjoy watching you with your husband and 2 boys...truly love your recipes 😊!!!!!!!

[@MariaEmmerich]

Thank you!!

[@nicholefetrow5319]

Thank you for sharing your story, Maria! I recently started PSMF after stalling for the past two years. It's making a big impact! Thank you for your determination in making the world healthier! Prayers to you and Craig ❤

[@MariaEmmerich]

Big hugs ❤️

[@karenlanteigne]

OMG! So sorry you have to deal with this kind of crap. I can't blame you for being hurt but I am at 360lbs and I admire you. Keep those vlogs coming, either recipes or life update. ❤️

[@MariaEmmerich]

Thank you so much!

[@meatdog]

Karen Stay dedicated to your journey. A year ago I was 260 pounds and could not walk and had such horrific knee pain standing up was a screaming chore. Now I'm down 80 pounds, I have NO more doubt pain and just feel great. I'm now 72 so its never too late. I have not reached my weight goal yet but I WILL. Maria has the information it takes to get there. Best of luck, your work on this will improve your health. 😀

[@kt_lifts_heavy]

I LOVE YOU MARIA!!! This hurt my heart, but really hit home for me. I've struggled a lot with my weight, and people bullying me. Please keep pushing forward, we keto peeps need you! I've lost 30 lbs on your program in a month! (I still have lots of weight to lose!) I'm working on myself, and I want you to know you are helping me so much! Thank you❤️

[@MariaEmmerich]

Many blessings to you sweetheart ❤️

[@DancingL704]

God bless you for making yourself vulnerable and being real. Unfortunately there are haters out there Thank you for everything you do 💕

[@hopefulforhumanity5625]

Cynical people like to be mean to others. They are not happy. I'm really sorry that you have been picked on. I'm sorry that Craig is hurting. I have 3 of your cookbooks. You two are amazing! I get so much helpful information when the 2 of you answer questions. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@MariaEmmerich]

Thank you for your kindness and support 🙏

[@search4answers849]

I didn't know...I'm glad I finally found this...I have been very worried. I am praying for you and your family. 🙏

[@MariaEmmerich]

Thank you for your kindness 🙏

[@imabeliever8932]

Maria, I love and appreciate your creativity, cleverness and diligence in converting so many recipes so they can be enjoyed following a Keto diet. And not only that, but they are custom tailored for people with all sorts of health challenges. I love the let's make kindness "gangster" comment. That is hilarious! I'm sorry about and for the haters, but they are outnumbered by the kind and appreciative people. Stay strong. You really are needed and appreciated, so thank you for sharing your gifts.

[@MariaEmmerich]

Thanks! ❤❤❤

[@CarisaRealtor]

We love you. I think it's all about how you feel. If your labs are good and your organs are healthy.... that's all that matters :) I took your coaching certification classes and I appreciate you. 🙏

[@MariaEmmerich]

I appreciate you too!! ❤️
