Weighing On Me Wednesday

Some days you weigh in, and some days weigh on you.

[@tinamatthews7079]

So glad to see you again. My sister and I watched all your videos last year. We missed u. We lost 7- 8 pounds since Christmas. We bought an ulu because of you. Love love using it.

[@debrachan1899]

You are such a bright light, love your weekly check in! Merry Christmas 🎄 Big hugs 🤗

[@mammabear2183]

Heather, you are awesome. I really appreciate your honesty and the way you are comfortable being so vulnerable. Salt can definitely make anyone gain water weight. I think it is great that you are not getting stressed about it. You know your body, and you know you will drop that quickly. Sending you a huge hug!! Christmas is a hard time for many who have lost loved ones!!! I am thankful for you!! Take care!!

[@amycaruthers7858]

I’m grateful for you, Heather- for your calmness, your beautiful smile, and voice, your encouragement and your honesty. Thank you for all you do and Merry Christmas! Next year will be better!

[@DentGal83]

This year Christmas is hard. Thank you for sharing your feelings. This is my first year in almost 40 years that my sister & best friend won’t be with me & my folks for Christmas. We’re both single adults, so we just have each other. Praying for you through this, may you find comfort in the Word of God by His Spirit. Let’s remember this world is just temporary, and if you’re born again of the Spirit eternity will be awesome. Sending love & hugs

My weight can fluctuate like that -- I'll go up 5lbs in a day, and back down in two days, it's weird, but a lot of women understand, lol. And I spent most of my life hiding/waiting to be "thinner" in order to go out and LIVE, how I regret this now being older. I'm glad to hear you aren't going to do that too. Anyway, sounds like such tender times growing up with your parents. May you feel the warmth of God's love as He reminds you they are still with you, and always will be. Merry Christmas, Heather🎄These holidays aren't the same for anyone, you are not alone. Chin up, it *will* get better 💖........ especially when Thailand is in the cards!!!

[@wholoveskitty]

We keep going Heather! We don’t sink the ship because of a malfunction. Please have a very happy holiday and please don’t stress yourself out. We can and will do this. ❤️❤️

[@godofthebiblespeaks3188]

Wishing you joy and peace this Christmas. God bless you Heather. 💟

[@vixxcottage]

I can fluctuate 5-10# in 1 day! My uncle is the same way! Fluid weight is what you are dealing with. I did weight watchers multiple times. Stuck to diet exactly and would not show weight loss. A bowel movement can be at least 5#. Weigh in day was before my bowel movement. After that always 3-5# loss. I quit weighing myself and go by how my clothes fit. I was 3-4x in size now large-extra large depending on the fit. With the whole food plant based I got to a plateau and now the scale does not budge. I feel so much better. I think we all were affected by things this year. I feel blessed that I am ok.

[@alanettenberg1560]

i feel the same way with family far away

[@dianainboulder]

Merry Christmas Heather!

[@sharondesilva8135]

Your honesty is rare Heather and you are a brave soul to share what you do helping us all see just how vulnerable we are.......may God bless you and keep you safe always.......

[@kaysanders9836]

God bless you. Thanks for sharing.

[@wwaportraitpainters]

Merry Christmas. You are not alone. You are loved! Thank you for sharing your struggles so we don't feel alone, either. ♥️

[@terrianton3564]

So here is my last three years. My dad had a brain injury 8/17/20. We sold our house in Chicago and my husband moved to Kentucky to be near my daughter and I moved to NY to care for my parents. My dad was my moms caregiver. Dad died 1/31/20. The. My brother that lived with them died 9/9/20 of cirrhosis. I went back to NY for 2.5 months to be with my mom, get through the service for my brother and then with great resistance moved her back to KY with me. I’ve gained 35 lbs., feel hopeless and trapped and can’t get out of this funk. I’m an RN and people say how much they appreciate what we do but that’s crap. I have not given up on myself. I still remember who I use to be and who I want to be. Heather, you are not alone. Life sucks sometimes but giving up is a choice and I’m so glad you haven’t. Neither have I. How do I dm you. My husband is great but not a female so the perspective is different. Happy Holidays to you and your son. Big hugs!🎄

[@Carouselpics]

Yes i am ready for a new year darling. Im torn about seeing my girls and grandkids... it's been 6 mo. My heart's breaking..its the chance i don't think i should take. So torn. Praying this is over gone putut soon! Then theres the fact my husband and i have been out of work awhile and the struggles this year with that. We are not alone i know. So ready for a new year! I started wfpb 5 weeks ago and found you. Glad i did! Have a blessed Christmas and new year Miss Heather. 🌲💖🙏 Til next week! ⚘

[@FatMenace]

Jfc, you're not I danger of this pretend disease. Go see your damn family and quit living in this utterly ridiculous fear.

[@jcsmith7898]

Struggles are real.

[@virgonvegan]

Water weight...me too. I'm wanting more salt. Raw veg...not so much! Time to simplify. Too many choices doesn't work for me. Holidays are overly emotional. I'll tear up over anything - movie, commercial, Bible reading, lost dog, you know how it is. Love you Heather 💕. 2021 will be a new year and honestly, life is good.

[@cindraamundsen2197]

God Bless you Heather. Wishing you a Merry Christmas.❤

[@Violetentity]

I weigh myself in the evening and weight myself in the morning and it is a difference of 10 pounds. When I eat salt I retain a lot of water. Don't let that get you down. Its been a rough year and it is coming to an end and this is a stressful time of year regardless of what is going on. We will get through this and the New Year will be better one way or another.

[@kayepellow7010]

Happy Holidays. Blessings for the new year.

[@secondyaya]

Merry Christmas, Heather! You are ♥️'d!

[@Harber67]

Happy Christmas to you and yours, Heather. Things could be worst, last Christmas I was on the potato diet! I’m delighted to be having a plant compliant Christmas this year with my son Danny who’s the same age as your Joe. Wishing you health, wealth and blessings and thank you for your 2020 inspiration!

[@laurahaffkoss4577]

Well said honesty! Be well.

[@cherylsyoutubies]

Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas as we look forward with hope to the promise of 2021.

[@beckybailey5241]

Have a very Merry Christmas Heather and a Healthy & Happy New Year!

[@kathleenbutler9967]

Heather you are amazing to be so totally honest.....have a wonderful holiday...agree about traveling...good decision..just remember we are all behind you...i also wish you weren't SOS free....sooo hard. Anyway a discussion for much later!!

[@bethmcmillen1064]

I will probably be alone this Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Hormones can definitely put weight on as well as the salt in canned veggies. Just think, you will be 5 to 10 pounds lighter in the next week or two.

[@aprilryan3208]

thank you

[@MotherMaples]

I can so relate to your words. This has been my hardest year. Just like you I live with my adult son and I’m so grateful. Sending you love xo

[@catherinebell122]

Make it a joyous, restful, holiday celebration!💐

[@maevandorpe6617]

This is a hard day my mom died today decision 23 2007. My dad a couple years ago so yes some days are just harder than others. Merry Christmas. I am grateful you have returned to KZbin.

[@gailsannik9466]

It's ok Heather. I understand. I have a lot of family difficulties and family far away. Maybe keeping it bottled up inside isn't good but it is what it is.

[@judyosborne]

Wishing you the best Christmas ever my dear. You are such a sweetheart ❤️

[@stephkimball3892]

❤️ "It's ok to not be okay" ❤️

[@pattypop52]

i am so glad u decided to stay home & not travel. , & be safe i have oldest daughter & sister not speaking to me since mid Aug bc i am scared, they are in the area where the cases are. i don't understand why they can't just use technology like others are doing at this most difficult time. anyway , .Have a blessed Christmas and new year . love u 🙏👍💪🎁🎄⭕❌

[@missiris1234]

At least you are honest. Merry Xmas and happy New Year Heather and family 🌷🍀🌷

[@alphpup3281]

You may have the Jeff Novick videos, I know you know all this but sometimes it’s good to get back to basics, and it may be helpful to get back to his 10 min preps, instead of fancier foods.

[@carlamhaight]

It's so frustrating when this happens. Hang in there. Merry Christmas.

[@fenysnake]

At least you recognize it's water, next week will be better! I find it frustrating that when you do one thing wrong your weight can shoot right up, but when you do really fantastic it creeeeps down!! This is a really hard year for alot of people who can't make their bills and are depending on food banks for the first time- prayers for you to stay hopeful, and people to have their basic needs met daily xo

[@loriurich2276]

hope you're feeling better soon - happy holidays

[@patwhite8741]

The scale is not you - keep up the great WFPB eating and the weight will come off. You are awesome! Merry Christmas

[@aromaofhope]

Good thoughts! Hang in there.

[@beverleycumming1876]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...sushi!

[@treasuresbytess8719]

[@viviannedonnelly233]

Wishing you a restful time of Christmas peace!

[@beverleycumming1876]

We always got a new pair of pyjamas!

[@opheliacarlson1100]

Merry Christmas Heather 🎄❤️

[@tardis33]

What do you do when you fall off a horse? Get back on! You've got this Heather

[@knichelle9566]

Yes. It’s been a really hard year. I believe things will be better next year.

[@bethmcmillen1064]

I always gained water weight big time the week prior to period. Next week I started a plant based diet and see if my blood sugars are lower and if I lose weight. Since my son has moved out, I have a little xtra money and am trying a vegetarian delivery meals recommended by a doctor. I miss my mom alot.....she died 31 years ago, but some bonds never go away.

[@sitwithus842]

Oh my, who is cutting onions??? Merry Christmas, much love your way.

[@lisag9466]

Stay Strong Heather!

[@BettyHorn]

Merry Christmas!

[@sandyallen1488]

Well it’s not an excuse...it’s what happened. You mentioned several years ago that you are very sensitive to water weight gain. I am sending you hugs and love dear Heather. It will get better.❤️🙏🏻

[@mariaapostolopoulou7031]

If you wish, follow 'Nithyananda' on KZbin. Take special care. Maria from Cyprus

[@avowoman]

It's definitely water weight and inflammation. It will pass.

[@TerriMaresCrochet]

I set a new goal to go to New York City.

[@heyhoe5962]

An observation: You are probably the kindest, most understanding person on youtube. But you are not kind to yourself. Please stop weighing yourself. It seems borderline abusive. You would never put a small child on a scale and say, "You are going to weigh what I saw on a chart at the doctor's office. Every week our happiness and mood depends on what this scale registers." That would be cruel and unnatural. Please be as kind to that sweet, little girl within you as you are to others. She's doing the very best she can.

[@westcoastlass]

❤❤

[@beverleycumming1876]

I weigh once a month...scales are the enemy...measure and relax

[@yentavegan8823]

Oh Heather! I was so worried about you and I can’t stop thinking about you. You are enough. You don’t need to be anyone’s alley or learn about their “ Struggles” . If folks you know are gay , so what? If folks you know are trans, so what? You are good enough just the way you are. How about your struggles and your needs for equality? How about Your pain? Your life hasn’t been a stroll in the park either. Your back story is not one of smooth sailing or unblemished privilege. And addressing the 10 pounds? Where are your alleys who you can trust with the EVERYDAY food descions to be accountable to. If you had an alley they could have talked you through the emotion behind the desire to over consume canned vegetables. If your friends can’t be depended upon to help you through the white knuckle days, then get yourself some who will. There is community and fellowship in 12 step programs . I love you and I need you to be brutally honest.

[@chellymccrillis4626]

Merry Christmas Heather!
