Thank you for your honesty. Your story is inspiring. As a Denham Springs resident, we truly appreciate everyone who came and blessed our community during the Great Flood of 2016!

[@beautyisreal1222]

I just want to say that you are so inspiring! I love your openness and honesty about life! I definitely find myself where you are at times. Not having the energy to do anything.... I am about 3 weeks into THM so I really love everything you have to say about it! so helpful!

[@kristita_888]

I understand. 💙

[@cierramazingo4537]

Thank you for being so real!!! I'm currently struggling with PPD/PPA after having our first daughter about 2 months ago and am trying to get on THM so this gives me a lot of hope.

[@nancybardon6285]

Great job! I love you exposing your heart for the encouragement of us all! I am just starting THM and I like that your approach ...slow and easy! Please continue to tell us your daily meals! I like simplicity also! Please show the brands of products you use like integral collegen..... Keep going great lady😀

[@sarahkirbach5040]

Claire, how are you doing now? I watched some of your newer videos but don’t remember you bringing your mental health & diet up. Anyway, God bless & thank you for sharing ❤

[@samanthabrewer5641]

I found your Trim Healthy mama videos after I've been doing research on it. Someone recommended it to me as something to try. I'm waiting on my books to come in, and I've had bacon and eggs for breakfast the past two days. :o) I don't normally comment on videos, but I had to on yours! I love how raw and real you are about your depression. See, I've struggled with depression since I had my daughter a year ago. I know that's not a super long time to struggle, but this past year has been the darkest of my life. I couldn't stop watching, and I seriously soaked up all you had to say. I like how you like chemicals and bread and sugar too. I'm slowly getting into it. :o) So thank you!

[@HezarVai]

Thanks so much for sharing your journey. Sorry you've been sad lately. Chin up, buttercup :-) you are a blessing to so many!

[@sundowndain6150]

omg im dying right now hearing this, im right there with all the same symtoms you have right now. what do i do? depressed and in bed now brushing my teeth.i think this is a message from god.

[@jenaa110]

Just sending love and prayers. I have dealt with similar things as you and it is shocking how fast you can relapse after being fine so long. Kind of unsettling for sure. Your doing great..step by step. Take care of you. Love your videos. Will be hoping to see more when you feel up to it.

[@Sandy65genx]

ok so this might get a bit long and I am sorry but I just really need to talk to you ... first off i clicked on your video first because you mentioned THM and then continued to watch because of your awesome WASHI addiction LOL the first video I seen of yours you described your bathroom situation and boy did I cry (I am there) now this video I cried again I just love you so much for your honesty ... I have so far to go I need to lose about 120ish pounds and I am hoping to do it with THM and lots of prayer ... you are so beautiful and cheery and have such a cute fun sense of humor that I just want to watch you like every day I can't thank you enough for sharing this ... I started THM on July 4th and I have lost 10 pounds which is not good but I have gained 6 pounds in a weekend before so in that sense I guess its not bad .. anyway I had eye surgery in August and just felt sorry for myself and fell off the wagon and didn't even weigh in until a month had passed and I said ok I didn't come this far to only come this far so I got weighed and gained 1 pound in a month so I was very proud of myself and got back to about 50 % on plan and lost that 1 pound a week later so that was good then I ran into complications with my eye surgery and im back to feeling sorry for myself and eating crap again and in honesty I feel like crap again physically and emotionally ughhh what a vicious circle but I really do NEED to get back on track so you may see your views on this video go up daily because I think for the next little while I will watch it daily to get inspired ... again sorry this is so long but I wanted to thank you and tell you how much I love you and I hope you continue to feel better and post I for one will be watching and saying prayers for you ... Lots of Love from Canada xox

First off, you just made me cry. ❤❤ This is hard for me because I'm SO often a self sabatoger. I struggle with binge eating as well. Not so much as consuming thousands of calories in a sitting but hiding foods from my family and consuming large quantities of foods I KNOW I shouldn't in secret. I'm not proud of this. And I DID have a slip up this past month. I blamed my depression and acted on impulse. Something I'm working on in therapy as well. My point is that even in two years of THM I STILL struggle. I am still working to overcome food/sugar addiction and binge eating. THM CAN work for you. It's about picking yourself up by your boot straps every day and really trying to make those good choices. There are those women who hop into THM and succeed almost effortlessly and though I wish I were like them, I'm not. But we can all do this. Good luck to you!! ❤

[@Sandy65genx]

Thank you so much ❤

[@dianevan2326]

Thanks for sharing these videos and providing month-to-month updates. I am getting ready to start this diet and each video you share lets me know pretty much what to expect month by month.

[@laurieparr5731]

Thank you for your honesty and transparency!! I am a fellow sugar addict! In 2011 I started on my weight-loss journey weighing my heaviest at 275 lbs. I found a food plan through OA (Overeaters Anonymous) and had great success, losing 90 lbs in my first 8 mths in program, never fully giving up sugar or carbs like we are encouraged to in meetings. Which soon led me back to my addictive behaviors. I started putting back on the pounds slowly, and gained back 25 lbs and stayed there for over a year. Two years ago I left the OA program and just ate what I wanted. I wound up gaining almost all my weight back. I am embarrassed and shamed to say that I hate any pictures of myself taken at my son's wedding last year! Instead of enjoying the moment and the beautiful wedding, I thought about my weight the whole time and felt miserable! In April of this year I found a new sponsor and got back on my food plan, loosing about 20 lbs to date. I could have lost more if I could give up the stupid sugar!! Today my sponsor told me that I needed to find another sponsor, because she has a lot of personal things going on right now and feels I am doing good, (which I'm not, but I haven't told her that). Today as I was praying and asking the Lord what to do now, I ran across my friend's FB post of how she has lost weight by doing THM. So I googled it! Somehow I came across your youtube video and immediately felt connected to you. You were telling MY story!!! (really you and I share the same struggles) I am nervous about trying something different, but I feel as though I need to change things up a bit and that maybe God was opening a window for me as one door closed this morning. I am still seeking HIM about whether this is my answer or not, but I just wanted to encourage you and let you know that you touched my life through your transparency. I have subscribed to you channel, because I want to commit to pray for you. This is NOT an easy journey, but we all need to cheer each other on and build one another up in the most Holy Faith! So never give up and keep dusting yourself off and start all over again, if need be! Blessings my new friend!

[@pambishop3961]

Laurie Parr you also told my story! I am just learning about THM. I was told about last night and have been trying to read all I can. I think I can do this!

[@mildredlindsey3144]

I DO NOT KNOW IF YOU WILL SEE THIS, BUT YOU ARE TELLING MY STORY AGAIN. THE ONLY THING IS I AM 81 YEARS OLD AND NEVER MARRIED. I AM ON MEDS AND HAD TO GO INTO A ''LOCKDOWN'' AT ONE TIME. I DID GET MEDS CHANGED WHILE IN LOCKDOWN WHICH HAS HELPED SO MUCH. I HAVE BEEN ON THM FOR ONE WEEK AND HAVE LOST 6 LBS. THANK YOU FOR BEING WILLING TO SHARE SO MANY YEARS AGO, SO THAT THOSE OF US KNOW OF OTHERS AS WE ARE. LOTS OF LOVE!!

[@melodymorris5384]

Thank you! ive only ever made the nuke bread. It's ok especially if you can't have any wheat so that exekial bread is even off-limits.

[@jjfield6210]

I can't believe how closely your story relates to mine. I have the extreme soda addiction you mentioned in another video and I also suffer from bouts of extreme anxiety and depression, PTSD, due to years of childhood abuse. I can be doing great and something triggers me and, like you said, I don't want to get out of the bed unless absolutely necessary. I share those feelings of wanting to go to sleep and just not wake up. Bless you for being so open about your journey and letting me see that I'm not alone and I can get through it. I read so many other stories, but something more personal clicks hearing your words. I am just starting my THM path and I look forward to your other videos for advice along the way! ~ Jessica

[@urnottamei2624]

You are so inspirational, motivating, humble, honest, and incredible!!! Thank you so much for your honest tips and struggles! My husband is in the kitchen cooking dinner after a long day of work right now actually. I can't find the strength to do it myself today unfortunately. I'm not aware of THM, but I'll look into it now. There are so many things I want to say, but I don't want to write a public book in your comments section lol. I wish you nothing but the absolute best in everything you do!

[@mskatedagreat]

I appreciate your heart... i will keep you in my prayers. i will find the Swiss bread recipe & try it this week. :) You encourage me to do this..... one day at a time! Lots of us are proud of you. Its a good uodate!

[@DeerestDahling]

I seriously love you, Claire. I absolutely LOVE you!! #chemicalstastegoodmmmkay

[@melodymorris5384]

I would love to see a video of how you make the Swiss bread in your bread maker.

[@TheGingerNinjaKnitsandJournals]

I will try to do this this week! 😊

[@sarahkelly6435]

Yep, I love your openness! I'm on the learning curve aspect of this is my first month. I just wanted to say from one Irish girl to another I will be praying for you! I also think your curls rock even day 4 curls! (other thm video) ;)

[@6cygnets]

I sent you a FB friend req. I've been catching up on your videos. I'm a thm flunkee :/

[@dinahsoar6982]

I find that sugar free drinks cause me to crave sweets if I drink them by themselves. So I make a point to drink them with a meal. I didn't realize that for a long time b/c the drinks had no sugar and therefore were not suspect. But the taste of sweet makes me crave sweets, evidently. If you find yourself having sugar cravings you might try drinking them with other food that will keep your blood sugar stable. Also, I find if I make my own drinks I can make them less sweet which helps too. Iced tea, iced coffee are a great replacement for soft drinks; although there are times when only a diet Coke will do. Also I buy plain carbonated water and flavor it with things like lemon juice and add stevia. Less sweet but still like a soda. A splash of fruit juice, like unsweetened cranberry juice is nice added to the carbonated water, plus some Stevia.

[@DanielaNoel143]

I was just wondering if you are still doing THM ?

[@goatkisses]

Thank you for sharing! What's your FB page? Can you message me? You are more like my personality than any other KZbinr I've watched. I'm thankful for your honesty and understand the guilt, thank you for sharing your journey. It's just recently watching Carol Tuttle's free "dress your truth" course that I understand my disjointed thoughts and "non-planning" is challenges of my type 1 personality, but I have strengths that benefit others too. She explains it better than I could, but I wanted to share and hopefully it can bring you grace like it has me to not be so hard on myself. God bless and thank you again for being you and sharing. I haven't started thm. Had the books for a year and a half. Your truth inspires me more than anything that I can be gentle with myself once I do decide to start. Longest comment ever. Sorry 👀

[@TheGingerNinjaKnitsandJournals]

I'm Clare Masa on facebook. 😊

[@82itsjustme]

I would love to follow you on FB as well ... how would I find you?

[@grammie2eight]

[@TheGingerNinjaKnitsandJournals]

Truvia in bulk.

[@DonnaandRhonda]

BIG difference in your face!

[@rachelschauer3362]

Are you still doing thm updates?

[@TheGingerNinjaKnitsandJournals]

Rachel Schauer I stopped at 7 months because it seemed like no one was interested anymore. 😂 I’m still doing THM and have recently given up meat. I’m at 131 again and have still been here for months. I know I’ll be a THM for life. 😊
