Carla did you start this channel when you began your weight loss journey? 🖤 🤍

@farleyboy1968 11 месяцев назад

Hi Carla, my wife and I are on a journey to being healthy and fit. Your channel is educational and inspirational. I weighed 312 lbs one year ago, I am now 269 LBS. (with much more to come). I hope you are enjoying a fabulous summer!

💕💕Here from April Lauren’s YT channel and the video from her series “WakeUpBright” dated 11/15/22 - I am almost right at 180lbs lost and hoping to lose another 70lbs or so (Keto/Elliptical/sometimes Adipex) with the goal of attaining my first successful pregnancy. Love to meet another on any facet of the same kind of journey!

Welcome Laura x

@maggiedoor6093 Год назад

🖤 🤍 Thanks Carla. I may only have 40 lb to lose but it's a struggle 5' 2" 67 years. Lost 20 lb a year ago , lost 20 inches, then got injured put it back on. Watching 1-2 videos per day to keep me focused. Back to walking, 10,000 steps , your voice and tips is starting to echo in my head! Lol I even talked myself into fixing a meal and not buying out because I thought of you.

@os5634 Год назад

Carla your videos are so inspirational and powerful. I was one of those people that kept putting of my weight loss but after listening to you just a few times I have started eating healthier and have already lost 6 pounds. I know that is not a lot but I feel so good. Thank you. I listen to numerous videos on your channel everyday to keep me motivated and in track. ❤

@karliesmama1268 Год назад

PREACH IT!!!! Until we own our choices, we can't change our outcomes. ❤🙏🤟 Yes, our pasts may be full of tragic events. We all have the ability to make a move toward freedom from food issues. I'm 18yrs post gatric-bypass and have been blessed to have kept most of my weight off. I tell anyone that asks questions about the surgery that it doesn't fix your headspace! I've worked in an office w/ 20 or so folks that had the surgery & only about 2 of us have kept the weight off. Ms Carla is spot on that the biggest obstacle is our mindset. Own the emotional issues that are allowing you to use food addiction as a crutch to not face the pain. I'm 48 & have dieter since I was 9, starting w/ the cabbage soup diet my mom put me on. I wasn't even obese back then like a lot of kiddos these days. It started a lot of decades of negative issues w/ foods. I've indulged in all forms of disorders & all the diet hacks. I STILL have to be meticulous on what I eat & move my body. Carla is again right, the weight is just a side effect. You are all beautifully & uniquely made. You can be a light for someone else by showing via your life testimony that success comes in all types of styles - perseverance is the common denominator. 🙌🙏🤍🖤

🖤💟 oh my gosh. This comment isnt specifically abiut this video but i have been listening to so many of your videos lately and having a lot of feelings. I appreciate so much that you put out so many videos and revisit topics. You have such a lovely voice and hearing about your journey and the things you've learned is so inspiring and resonates a lot with me. So much of what you've said has landed and seeded in my brain and it has changed my mindset about so many things. Not just weight loss but things like "okay i can't control how clean my house is, but i can control how much input i put into cleaning" and it just makes everything that better easier. Thank you for all your hard work and for sharing so much with us. I am so grateful.

I am out for my hour walk right now… I am going to sign up for my third round of BodySlims and continue to show up for myself. Trying not to beat myself up, trying to learn what it is I need to understand about myself to better cope and ultimately succeed. 🤍🖤

I discovered your videos only about 2 weeks ago.....I have watched SO MANY already. I Think of your videos and tips when I am walking, shopping for food, cooking, it IS such a helpful inspiration! The excess pounds are starting to melt off me....sometimes so slowly, sometimes a bit faster, but I am Being MORE CONSISTENT with my inputs ...... and am so happy I' m now moving in the right direction! MANY, many blessings and thanks to you, from New York. :) And.....Best of luck to everyone here on their slimming and health journeys.

@dianemccabe9907 Год назад

That was the most amazing talk I have ever heard! So inspiring. It can be applied to more problems than just weight loss. I hope that many people can hear this and it helps them take those first steps... I think most of what we deal with is psychological and if we dive into ourselves and forgive ourselves first and understand our reactions that goes along way!! Most times then you can make up your mind that you and you alone can make it happen!! Thanks so much for putting yourself out there! You are amazing!!

@bjw1965 Год назад

🖤🤍 Thank you for this Carla the best video on the mental hurdles to weight loss and self care I have ever come across, so full of compassion and real empathy. I have been making some really positive strides this past couple of weeks immersing myself in your channel and also preparing for my first Bodyslims session later this month but your wisdom and love around white knuckling vs abundance / reflection and also on taking the power away from external influences and feeling and utilising that power for yourself (my interpretation of your words) along with your true kindness and compassion / passion around emotional eating and self sabotage are just amazing and much needed by this life long binger and white knuckler. Thank you 🥰.

🖤🤍 Another wonderful and timely video, Carla! It's like you're in my head, telling me what I need to hear, when I need to hear it! Round 1 of BodySlims almost done, and I'm looking forward to Round 2 in January. I'm a bit nervous about the period between now and the January start....I fell into the dreaded middle today. But self-compassion, reflection, and consistency will win in the end. Also, I ordered a necklace/earrings set from Addrianna as my most recent reward. It arrived over the weekend and is just stunning! Yay for beautiful jewelry!!!!

@katiealleena2049 Год назад

I am sorry I've been off youtube for quite awhile! It's for a good reason -- I had midterm projects to work on for some certifications I am working on. These are things I didn't ever think I would be good enough to do -- but I am. It's funny to look back and understand that, from addressing my trauma, that with this and with weight loss, I held myself back regardless of the cause, before. I am feeling so much better, even now. I am in a bit of a plateau, and my weight loss journey is much slower than others might expect due to major injuries, but I feel happy anyway. I had a plateau happen exactly at this time last year, as well :D And for anyone who needed to hear it today -- it's OKAY if things don't go exactly as planned, just keep being consistent and be kind to yourselves. Almost down 97lbs this week, by the way! Nearly there (: And that's just scale numbers, minding what you've mentioned about non-scale victories. I am two full sizes down in clothing, which feels absolutely WILD to me! As always, thank you so much for all you do. I'll do my best to catch up on all your wonderful and helpful posts from this last while.

@maggiedoor6093 Год назад

Well done, what an accomplishment. You had studying, weight-loss and Christmas to deal with. Now a month later, hope all is continuing for you with weight-loss.

@TheRealAmythyst Год назад

I am a new subscriber because I loved how you put it into business terms and using the body as a factory I like when people can metaphorically give another viewpoint of something as a person who is 400 and something pounds I understand all too well that I play a major part in my weight I love number four number four was the acknowledgment that your *COMFORT food* is making you uncomfortably OVERWEIGHT. Realize that you turned what you love to do is eat into the equivalent of drinking and doing recreational drugs when you turned food a vital nutrient a vital dietary regiment into a coping mechanism into a security blanket and no longer food for it being food and delicious and eating and going on about your day when it becomes a mental issue it no longer is food it's like we're increasing the matter in our body based on the brain thought that we can not that we should but just because we can and it makes us feel better but it's not necessarily helping us to be better.

@navamorris3478 Год назад

How did you truly internalize taking responsibility without blaming others for their part, and therefor know (not intellectually, but really know) that you had the power to change your relationship with food? It's one thing to know something intellectually, and it's another to be filled with an understanding that alters how you see something and feel about it.

@gabriellecole9415 Год назад

This is an excellent video. Question regarding bingeing- one reason I have binged in the past was due to not consuming not enough calories (due to trying to lose weight quickly). Is this something you have ever dealt with? It is my main fear about Bodyslims. Not sure if you can address this but would love some feedback about this. Thank you for this video. 🖤🖤🖤

@kristinanne6534 Год назад

So powerful! 🖤🤍 I think that there's a second part to the first point you shared. We also can't be the motivation for someone else. One of my friends wanted to join me in walking 10000 steps a day. She wasn't committed though. She kept trying to latch onto me for motivation and I found it so draining. It's hard enough to keep yourself motivated. It really taught me that this process is for ME. Of course, I'll help people along the way, but I can't do it for them and I can't drain all my energy trying to pull them along with me.

@marzmontgomery Год назад

🖤🤍 I have to keep watching this until I can incorporate the principles. Today, looking at "get out of hell before the devil knows you're dead". I can't exercise until it's light out. I live in a forest, bears, cougars. But I struggle with paperwork. So today the cat woke me an hour before I have to make breakfast for the clan, and I thought about what you said, and I did an hour of dreaded paperwork and was SO proud of myself by breakfast, that l'm starting to get how this brain shift works. When you start your day off right, perpetual motion keeps you heading in the right direction 👌 for today, I'm good ❣️🖤
