- I’m sharing my personal story of my relationship with food, and how I got past emotional eating so that I wasn’t "living to eat," but rather "eating to live." See the physical transformation over time when I learned the balance that comes from a healthy mindset and lifestyle.

This video was not sponsored and I purchased all products shown myself. - Jak na to + styl
I had an epiphany some years ago, that every imperfect parent we have, is also a just a little child of their imperfect parents.
Thank you Dominica
Can we all take a moment and thank Dominique for making high quality videos that isn’t bombarded with sponsors/advertisements
Brandon Johnston yes, indeed! But it also depends on the goal of the CZcamsr too. Her goal is not about money. That’s why she does not accept any sponsorships or advertisements in her videos
And God bless her for that
Amen.
YES!! Thank you, Dominique. It's one of the many reasons I subscribed. I ALWAYS look forward to Thursday afternoons! :-)
Cookie O As a news person she can’t accept sponsorships and maintain her “objectivity.” It is great that she shares so freely - her content is so wonderful!
I rarely ever comment on videos, but I just had to tell you that you epitomize my idea of class and grace. I recently turned 50 and can relate to so many of the things you discussed. Thank you for being an inspiration!
Thank you Dominique for your frankness. At 55, I have just realized too my dad does not express emotion, never told me he was proud, good job, etc. and I’ve been searching for that my whole life. It has been a real eye opener and here you are talking about the exact same thing. I also starting working at 14, for spending money and the feel good that comes from working.
My dad is still here at 85, and I love him to death!!! He lost both parents by age 17, so really never had anyone tell him what a good job he was doing....he really did the best he knew how to. Then, 2 weeks ago he’s in hospital and I am basically interpreting to him what the docs are saying, he looks at me and says: “ you’re really smart”. I bout fell down.
I’ve never heard anyone talk about their dad being emotionally unavailable, so thank you so much!!
Sounds like you are gaining valuable knowledge and forgiveness for yourself as well= hug yourself, you are fortunate to have each-other, and enjoy this precious time with your father.
The comment from your father was such a small statement with such a large impact. I'm truly glad for you, that you received that bit of acknowledgement. I know you'll never forget it. It brings tears to my eyes.
@@kathykilduff6714 m
That is really sweet. My situation was almost the opposite. My dad would always tell all the relatives how smart and talented us kids were. He'd go on and on about my accomplishments. I thought I was more special than I actually am!! My mind was blown when I found out how many people were just as accomplished or moreso than I!
Can I just say Dominique, we mature Gals need more of you. Your delivery is so real and direct from your heart. I love you and appreciate the class you bring to CZcams!
@@aprilmay1700 , hey, I am referring to older gals. So, not 30's or maybe not even 40's, but, us beauties in our 50's and older.
Wendy's World well said Wendy!
@@debra-jones thank you! 💙
Well I’m in my young 30s and I absolutely love Dominique. ❤️
@@deederrs , this speaks to Dominique's authenticity. This also speaks to your intelligence girl!
You have such class and grace. I'm so glad I found you! Your speaking is impeccable and your story was amazing; thank you for sharing.
Denise Ferreira she is a news caster that is why she is so articulate
Dominique is a journalist 🥰
Dominique is a reporter for KPRC, Channel 2 news in Houston, Texas. That's why she's very articulate with her speech. She sounds like a news anchor, which is what she is now. Since we live in Houston, I watch her almost every night on the news. She always looks great! Very professional. I love Dominique!! 😍
😍😍😍
I absolutely agree! She is impeccable and besides her name is beautiful! 🥰
Dominique, thank you for being so honest, open and vulnerable. Your story has inspired me and I am sure so many others. Your journey in many ways paralels mine. I am a retired clinical psychologist and 82 years old. I am so glad that you told people that the way to undertand yourself was through a deep self exploration. It is the only way we can truly understand our own behaviors and that of others around us. Parental relationships play a large role in the choices we make throughout our lives. Our parents, just as we have done as parents ourselves, did the best they could with the roles they learned from their parents. And life events paint each portrait differently than the next. As I have progressed through another phase of life, I have found that each phase has me exploring my past behaviors and realtionships even more. The things we do not know about aging could fill several libraries. I continue to learn more about myself, my body and my relationships everyday. I have learned that there is never an end to learning and also that our bodies continue to change until the end. Thank you again and please continuegiving us this wonderful gift of yourself.
beautifully said~
This was so good to watch. Hitting 60 last year had really affected my mind and body. Trying to settle into this decade with more mindful self care. Thank you
How are you doing Donna? 🙏🏻
I marvel at the way you speak.
Not once did I hear 'um'.
It was a delight listening to you : )
She is a newscaster.
She is one of very few people that I could listen to for a long long time. Her kindness, sincerity and integrity is apparent every time I see her. (Only thru videos, not in person)
Dutchgram,
I totally agree with you👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼YES!
Listen, you can still hear Umms
Dana,
Dominique is highly articulate, intelligent, kind, generous and able to communicate in a fine manner...SHE ROCKS 🤟🏼
Can I just say Dominique I just love your heart.
Just turned 47 on the 28th of January. I'm a divorced empty nester. I was diagnosed with stage 2 Ovarian cancer in 2012. After three surgeries and six months of chemo, I left a bad marriage with the intent of happiness and health focus. Instead, I turned to food and self depreciation. With the beginning of a new decade and a birthday, I am truly hoping to change my health and my life. I am also a writer, Dominique (of the screenplay variety) It's a goal now to write a short film and direct. Fingers crossed ❤️ Thank you for your candor!
Get well soon! Wish you all the best !
Wishing you well, and very good health.
How is it going??
Tina...you and I are living parallel lives. I am also an ovarian cancer diagnose in 2014 at the age of 42. Hope you know you're not alone.
Tina! 😍 I am 47 and was born on the 28th of January too!! I had to take a double take when I read your comment...!! Oh, sweet sis, you've been through a lot, but I can feel you are a true warrior and I wanna share a little bit of my story with you as well... but not here.. I made a video and we can talk, if you want, if you have any questions after watching the video. Hope you find it helpful on your journey or feel inspired by it... I just love my fellow aquarians and wanna share the gifts I've discovered in my own journey, which have helped me SO MUCH!!! 💝
I'll leave you the link to my video in my next comment... but in case it doesn't show, you can simply go to my channel and look for the second video I posted... which is called "MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE URINE THERAPY 🌈 17 YEARS practice" 😊💞
So much more than the beauty tips or so much the outward appearance - What draws me is the obvious communication skills you've mastered and it's something we can all work at. The inner beauty at any age is what speaks to me. Standing tall, being confidant, loving yourself - that is the most attractive aura about each ans every one of us, differences and all!! Thank you! ♡
I have said it before and I will say it again we have truly be blessed through your videos. I thank god for an angel like you.
I just have to say that this is one of the most honest and candid videos I’ve ever seen. I truly respect Dominique for being so transparent and sharing this with us. I really appreciate you doing this. I think it resonates with more people than you know.
C S 😊✨✨
C S I agree!
Absolutely!
Amen sister!!!
Thank you for making sleep a priority here, as sometimes people don’t realise how much the menopause affects us.
I’ve had my ups and downs in my weight all my life. I’ve heard more than one personal trainer say that 80% of weight loss is about what you eat, not exercise. So true in my case.
I can listen to you all day without getting bored. We have a lot to learn from you, woman with beautiful heart
I think the bottom line is learning to love yourself, learning to forgive others and yourself and acceptance. Being as gentle with yourself as you are with others.
Yes
So Beautifully Said!!
Yes , Beautifully said indeed
AMEN!! So true
Excellent advice.
Been going through a stressful life for about 15 years. I feel so empowered and stronger and more positive after seeing your videos especially this one. Thank you
Wow!! I just found out about you when I was browsing through my rec's, found the hair bang sweep look, then led me to other videos and BOOM, this is GOLD! I love this vulnerability. Thank you so much for sharing your journey. Totally relatable and pretty much sums up my life of 38 years. God Bless you!
“A break I gave myself!” I think we can all relate to that 🤣
Fantastic! I did not have issues with my Daddy but my Mom is another story. She is 81 and I am 62 and I still hold so much anger towards her. That doesn’t mean I don’t love her because I do. My Dad is no longer here on earth so she is all I have left.
This video addressed so many thing’s and it was wonderful.
Thank you 💕💕💕
I am 60 years old and have no family outide my three children, two of them are young adults with multiple disabilities and I am also disabled. With the three of us being disabled and me virtually trying to do three different lives with no support has left me with much support and no role models. My family was extremely dysfunctional and my mom did not like me at all, which was hard to live with. The point of sharing this with you is that I agave found a role model and mentor in you and I wanted you to know how very much what you do and how you are means to many people, especially me and others who may be in similar or worse circumstances. Thank you!
You look so beautiful and young at 52, very admirable!
I loved this!❤️ At 63 years old I just came to really know me last April. I have made good changes in my life. I have lost 27 lbs the healthy way...just as you are eating. My life was full of wrong choices, wrong men, but lots of love for family...but, never enough love for me. I now love me!!! and consequently I can love everyone else with a wholesome love! I can’t really explain it, but it is different! Thank you so much for your content, for opening up to us and for guidance! ❤️
Sheila, I'm so happy for you girl!! I'm almost there as well😊🙏
Sheila Ashley thank you too for sharing
Sheila, how did this come about?
Way to go!! Can you share your top 3 secrets
I get it, Sheila! I've gone through that transformation in the last few years, myself. There is a huge difference between self-worth and self-confidence. I thought I knew, but I didn't. One of my favorite online therapists says, "When you change on the inside, everything outside changes."
When you said "I learned to forgive" it made me cry!!! Yes, it helps heal.
Dear Dominique, thank you for being so open. Your story really touched me on a personal because I can relate to your experience. You have inspired me to also have the “weight lifted” off my shoulders- on the psychological level first ! Thanks for your input on CZcams, it’s been so insightful for me
Dominique - thank you for sharing your story. I'm 6 months into my fitness journey and the transformation has been incredible! My journey has been very, very similar to yours - your college story is almost identical to mine! Carbs were my crutch to get me thru study time, relationships, general college stress and the habits continued into early adult life. I am also in my early 50's and also getting into the best shape of my life. Not only physically, but also mentally and spiritually. I hope that your platform inspires others! Blessings
Whenever I’m needing a boost, I find a Dominique video. You never fail. Thank you for being so transparent and truly sharing what you know. ❤️
Dominique, you touched on so many things that has happened in my life. I too was told how not having a relationship with my father was affecting my life. It blows my mind how a daughter can carry those feelings around all her adult life. Thank you for your honesty Dominique..you touched my heart today. ❤
You were brave to mail that letter to your dad! Thanks for emphasizing sleep and low carb and finding exercise that you enjoy.
I loved hearing your story! So inspirational. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, Dominique! So inspiring! I’m in my late 40’s and have allowed “life”‘to get in the way of self-care. There’s nothing worse than knowing you should do better, but just don’t because the energy is lacking. I don’t want to go into my 50s feeling tired and not my best self. Thank you again for sharing your story! You are a beautiful lady inside and out!
I appreciate your genuine desire to help others. It shows! Your light is shining! Perhaps its partly your physical beauty but mostly from your spirit!
THIS is why I subscribed to you, Dominique. You’re so down to earth and honest!🥰
Thank you for your inspiring words Dominique! In my 50's and experiencing the challenges of menopause, I just discovered your CZcams channel today and I feel so grateful! You are an amazing woman & role model! Your realness makes me just want to keep watching!
You always have such beautiful messages and I appreciate that you take the time and courage to share not only your stories but life experiences with so many of us. Thank you!
Dominique, you are an inspiration on so many levels. I truly hope you know how much you are helping people. Sincere gratitude ♥️
I agree. Thank you. You ug ave been a great help in many ways🥰🌈🐛
Thank you Dominique! That was comforting and inspiring.
I just started watching you and I love your show. It’s a real blessing to know that you have been through so much and have come out on the other side with so much to give. I’m 66 and need to make some serious changes in all aspects of my life, thank you for the confidence that I’ve been lacking and am slowly gaining back to begin this new journey!
I just now saw this video, so awesome! I went through my younger years dealingwith childhood issues, relating with my adopted mother dying when I was 14, meeting my bio-mom, and having serious anger issues towards her. I went through therapy, did what I now call "a brain dump", wrote letters, yes, almost a book of emotions, but that started my healing and learning forgiveness! I found a church that was a big help with my walk through all this, also. After that, I felt like I had lost tons of weight, l felt like I was walking on air! Thank you for sharing!
When we put our trust in God, there is nothing he cannot do to change our lives....I’m so happy for you!!!!!
You’re right on with being healthy and well!
Oh my. Wow, just wow. So honest and thought provoking. Dominique I just love you. Thank you.
I needed to hear this as I am going through some changes in my life. Thank so much. Love all your content ❤️
This has to be the best, honest, most useful wellness video I've seen. She covers everything in 1 short video. Thank you Dominique for sharing. 😘
I started to realize that I am never alone in my journey and everthing is possible with the proper perspective in life. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for your honesty and transparency. You’re a breath of fresh air and a true inspiration. ❤️
Dear Dominique, Thank you so much for sharing some deeply personal ares of your life and history with us. You demonstrate a great deal of integrity and are courageous to do so,. Your willingness to put yourself out there so that other people will have better lives is truly remarkable. I, for one, am sincerely grateful. I have never met a greater role model and I am 60-years-old! Off to watch your video now. ❤️
Thank you for being that woman role model that I need in my life who says what I need to hear. Much love, thank you.
I so need to hear and remember these words. I’ve put on a horrific amount of weight in the last 3 years and feel like a monster. I eat rubbish, don’t exercise and feel tired and low. Your video has made me take stock and think about making some changes. Thank you 💕
You are on the first step. Well done. KETO really works and is maintain able
Samantha Clark same here! 😞
Samantha Clark yip me too....
This is a brilliant video, Dominique! So inspiring and speaks to me personally.
I'm a houstonian in and I've been watching Dominique for years on Houston Channel 2 and I absolutely adore her she's such a beautiful person has a beautiful soul and it just exudes out of her I love her so much and thank you for sharing your story Dominique so sweet
Just wonderful, thank you Dominique, we are privileged that you decided to share your story. I resonated with all the aspect that you covered. I have also listened to my body, moved from kettlebell workouts to yoga. A welcome side effect has been better sleep! Your content is far richer than a TV show. Bravo.
Thank you!!!! So motivational! I’m 45 and ready to work towards my healthiest version inside and out. So blessed to have found you!!!
Can’t tell you how much I needed to hear that little speech today!! Thank you so much for being relatable, beautiful, kind and inspiring!! 😘😘😘
So wonderful. There are no shortcuts! You’re living proof of the work you put in! Many thanks for your honesty.
Thank you, Dominique for being so open and honest in this video. I'm currently having to reevaluate my diet and exercise because of health considerations. Just knowing that you were able to make the necessary changes gives me encouragement to know I can do it, too!
Dominique, so refreshing to hear you, been following you for quite some time!Thank you for sharing all the incredibly honest,true,fun and real life stuff! At 55 years young, I appreciate You!
I applaud you for your open nature, and sharing your story with us. It is always incredible and eye opening, to see someone expose their true-self, venerable and honest. The realization then hits when we see that our own personal stories are very similar. Journeys, the paths we all walk can closely mimic each other. To share your personal insight, real life experience, it so valuable. Thank you Dominique, once again, for being the real deal!!
One year later this messages still inspires me! Thank you Dominique 🙏💜
Wow, thank you so much for this. I'm in my mid 30s and have struggled with my weight my whole life and have begun to feel like I could never change my eating habits. Your video has really made me think me about the WHY reasons I eat badly rather than just the HOW. I feel silly that I've never thought about this before. Thank you.
So many things in your journey resonated with me, Dominique, thank you. These are my take-away's:. I'm going to write THAT letter, listen to my internal voice without giving into sabotage, and it's never too late! Over and over, thank you... Blessings to you, ❤️🌞🦋
Dominique, I appreciate you shooting straight from the heart with lots of class.
Thank you so much for sharing your story in such a vulnerable, honest and transparent way. You're amazing! Hugs and Gratitude!
I have started this journey 3 months ago and can’t wait to stay on track and thanks for very heartfelt and informative content. Stay healthy and happy!
This was such a great, heartfelt video...I just turned 62 in September..soon to be breast cancer survivor for 10 years...that phase of my life rocked my world..I eat healthy, stay active but I'm afraid I'm functioning on 4 hrs of sleep a night sometimes I may get 6 ..I' e got to work o. The sleep...the melatonin just makes me feel bad...thanks for such a wonderful video...💟
Happy Homemaker Yes, the melatonin makes me feel bad too 😕 I'd love to go to bed knowing that I was going to be able to fall asleep easily and without medication!
CONGRATULATIONS on your 10 years of being a breast cancer survivor, continued good health to you🙏
Routines. Protein first, medium serving. Followed by 1 brownie bite or equiv., (pack a small protein and ice water in a tall yeti cup for next to the bed. (Not from Amazon. Too many Yeti knockoffs.$40) Turn all light to low. Then a hot soaking bath, low activity, in a large amount of epsom salted water. Cheaper in agricultural size bags from an upscale feed store. It is sourced from the same place as the drug store variety. Then into a cool bed in a cool, fully dark, quiet, safe room with no disturbances or light. No electronics. White noises are fine. As you lay mentally relax each zone. Spirituality helps if you're into it. No drugs, alcohol, caffine, or worry. 💖 Sleep builds immunity. Try to get off anything which introduces steroids. ie corticosteroids, inhalers. Melatonin and other supps or meds can produce nightmares which can produce sleep performance anxiety. As much as practical, down with the sun and up with the sun.
LAKE LADY Very kind of you to provide these comprehensive, step by step instructions to get a good night’s sleep.
Thank you for your sincerity, honesty, sharing of personal experience, and time for creating a connection to strangers through this medium with such care...a lovely message.
♡
I loved this video, I can go on for hours about dealing with the past but I won’t, one thing I learned was to write a letter to whoever you need to (including ourself ) for forgiveness or hurt feelings and pour your heart out, Then burn or shred the letter or letters...very healing.. God bless you and keep up the great videos,,
Thank you for your honesty. I’m so happy to have found you. Your professionalism and your transparency inspire me to reevaluate myself.
You are beautiful and your videos are inspirational.
You are a breath of fresh air, always so willing to share the tools you’ve acquired to help you be your very best. Thank you so much.
WOW. This has to be one of my top favorite videos. Your transparency is so refreshing. Thank you so much. You are loved my friend by so many but especially ME. 😘
We have a lot in common. I had my babies at age 40 and number 2, at 44. Gained a ton. 64 now and size 8/10. Intermittent fasting, exercise....living my life.
You make me so calm . Thank you for sharing. When I m listening to you I'm starting believeng , that I can do a lot better . Thanks to you I don't think any more that in my after 40 life is over . Thank you again
What kind of CZcamsr are you when your every other word isn’t “like”? Love your videos, please keep doing them 😬👍❤️
Oh my gosh, so true!
She's not 16 and she is a journalist and writer!
or no, "if that makes sense.."
“I know, right?” 😄😬
Lol Dominique is a 6 & 10pm newscaster for a major station. Her bio may mention this, I'm not sure.
Dominique, you are a gem! Thank you for being so honest and raw. I'm sure this will help your audience reflect on proactive self care😘!
As you were telling your story, I saw my life in yours. I’m ten years older than you, so you know my father was the same as yours. Maybe worse. I learned how to forgive. I also did not have a weight problem until middle school. The summer before my Senior year, I gained 30 pounds. I’ve yoyoed for years. Five years ago at the age of 56 I lost 75 lbs and was very happy. Of course, over the next five years, I’ve put it back on. I hope to take your weight loss success story and use it to help with mine. Thank you for being so honest and open. It’s so nice to hear someone as beautiful as you say they had a weight problem. You understand the reality of it. You don’t live in the smugness of never having been there. I love your videos and love you for being raw and truthful. God bless you and continue to be you!
You’re my role model Dominique!! Love you so much!! Thank you for spreading awesomeness through the world!!!
I watched this video twice with a lot of rewinding and listening again and again. I believe women around our ages need constant reminders like this. Chats like this, being so honest and fact-based and sympathetic, resonate deeply with us. I truly appreciate your support, time, and honesty. It means a lot.
Without going in to my internal struggle at the moment what you’ve jut said has really helped. Thank you Dominique for being you and coming in to my life when I need you most x
Wow...thank you so much for being so open and sharing your story! So many of us can relate and we are in this together!
Beautiful inside and out
Thank you so much Dominique for your generosity and story . It arrived at an important moment in my life and is inspiring!
Dominique, your life journey sounds almost eerily like a mirror image to my own! So many little things in common with you, but I am so happy you shared this! I have spent my years after high school focusing on healthier eating and exercise and yes, it has it’s ups and downs and yes! I did allow myself to free reign during my pregnancy as far as eating! Lol! At 63 I continue the process and over all, am pretty happy with the way I look and feel. Thanks again so much for sharing your very interesting story! It’s good to know and remind ourselves that we are not alone!
The late 80s were so hard for so many here in Houston. Thank you for this.
When you speak, you flow. I love that. Listening to you is easy and peaceful and joyful. I think you’re just naturally gifted to conversation and motivation. Thanks.
You are such an inspiration. I love your story and I want to say thank you for your honesty and openness. I am 52 also and I went through many years of eating issues(freshman 15 +) and what started my journey to health and awareness was reading the book by Geneen Roth called :"When food is Love". It helped me slow down and focus on hunger and being satisfied instead of just shovelling food. I can so relate to everything you talked about. People always say to me "you look so young" or are shocked that I am 52. I used to think I had good genes but its also having a young mind and feeling young, dressing in a youthful but classy way. If I don't keep up on regular haircuts, regular hair color (grey hair is raging on me) and mani pedis weekly I start to feel like I'm not taking care of myself. That effects my mood and my general well being, Just taking the time to sit in a manicure chair really makes me feel like I am taking care of me. I so relate to you. I especially love that you enjoyed New York thats where I'm a from and currently reside. XO
Cried throughout this, it has literally changed my outlook on my body. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
Thank you, so much, Dominique, for this video! I love that you are willing to open up about private issues in your life, but you do so with SUCH class & poise. So much wisdom here.❤❤
proud of u. have had dad issues, too. he apologized 6 years before he passed.
Dominique thank you for sharing your journey with us. You teach me so much and are so inspiring. Thank you for being so transparent and humble.
Oh my goodness Dominique I could listen to you all day. Your voice is so therapeutic and you talk so much sense. 💗
This was so important to share. It is so important to know that none of us is alone in our journey and struggles. You have created such a wonderful platform of positivity for all of us. Sharing your story is inspiring! Thank you!!
I turned my sister's on to Dominique's videos & they love her. She really does help everyone by sharing her own stories & her own spirit, etc... Dominique is an especially open & courageous woman who's lovable & highly respected by all of those who follow her it seems. My sister's never stop thanking me for telling them about her, her videos & how much they love getting the information she shares.
Dear Dominique: Just 2 weeks ago I came by one of your videos about mature skin best foundations to wear, and I am addicted to your channel. You are such a wonderful joy to watch and listen. You are an incredible woman, hard worker, great common sense and an inspiration. You are exactly what I tell my grand.daughter to emulate - surrounded by family and positive, loving people around you. I think I have watched most of your videos now, and I love your suggestions and tips on make.up, diet, etc.... May the Lord Bless you always for the "great" videos you give us all and I congratulate you. Good luck in your upcoming retirement and anything else in the future you get into. I will be waiting to continue to watch you. Love, Reina
At 60 I’m happier w/myself physically & emotionally then in anytime in my life. I was a survivor of child sexual abuse who used eating throughout my life as my crutch. At 55 I was meditating & realized my perpetrator still had a hold on me 50 years later. I lost 120 lbs, became a Sexual Assault Counselor than met my husband of 2 years after being a single Mom for 30 years. My Mr & I follow a Ketogenic lifestyle to keep not only our body healthy but our brains on point.
Congratulations on taking a trauma and turning it around to help yourself and others. Not easy to do but highly commendable! Proud of you..
Wow! I guess it's not too late for me to find love once again. My husband of 20 years, up & left me 10 yrs ago, & it shattered our family so badly, that both of my daughters haven't spoken to me in 7 years. Apart from my sister, her big family, & my 80 Yr old mom & dad, I have in effect lost the family I poured my life into for 20 plus yrs. I've been trying to rebuild my life, but I have no heart for it. At 53, I have many years ahead, & I must strive to find my heart again, because I cannot continue living an empty life. I must do this for myself! That includes the extra weight menapause has surprised me with! I seem to have gained 30 pounds in just 4 years, & my eating habits (following the zone diet) haven't changed. Although , my sleep patterns are all messed up, which I know isn't helping, either. 😱🙄
@@cherylfox6765 Don't give up Cheryl! If you are able to start taking care of you and accepting all the hardships that are in your life right now, things will eventually turn around. My best! mary
Cheryl Fox I spent 30yrs saying “Never again” which was a mistake. What I realized was I had to heal and be content with myself before I was ready to find someone. The nice thing is I didn’t NEED a man as I accomplished everything on my own but my Husband (still feels weird saying it) fills me emotionally in ways I didn’t know existed. You can get to a healthy place Cheryl but it takes hard work, emotionally and physically. Keep in mind changes in yourself are for YOU & if you find Love again it’s a bonus.
@@Emkfry8020 Thank you Mary. 😢
You've been so lovely your whole life, Dominique. Thank you for sharing your heart and life experiences with us. I look forward to your videos. 😊❤
You are the cutest, most fascinating little creature! Thank you for your willingness to share your true self!
Dominique is our local treasure! I get to watch her every week night and check out her hair, makeup, and fashion picks for the day. She loves the Houston area, it shows by her involvement in the community. I've never met her - can't imagine I ever will, but by the steller reputation she has built by just being caring, candid, real, and transparent- she seems very down to earth and I love her to pieces.
I had a father who was exactly like your description. My husband's father was the same way. My husband was not an involved "Dad". He was very much like his father. My son has two children and is the most phenomenal father I have ever known. I told him one day all my wishes for my dad and his dad have come true in him. I think he learned what NOT to do. And he married a wonderful young woman from a wonderful family who is a perfect mother. So his children will do better then those before them. Answered prayers.
Thank you. I needed this encouragement. Blessings to you as you minister to people in your own way.
Thank you! I too discovered the same journey and came out to the same conclusion. I am now 68 and love who I am becoming. I am on HRT and what a difference it has made in my life.
Thank you for sharing your story and journey! I am 47 and have been feeling some changes and shifts in myself! I started full-on, martial arts kickboxing when I was 41, and began at the same time to go to gym for weight training (almost exclusively weightlifting), about 4-6 days every week. I was determined to stay consistent as I had experienced the passing of both of my parents from debilitating diseases. It took a solid 6 MONTHS (longs months), but I started noticing real change in my physique, strength, and was excited. I continued both of these for 5 straight years, but had to alter during covid 2020. I discovered workout videos online, and some exercises that felt much better on my joints and such. I truly appreciate hearing what you have discovered worked for you, particularly since you are a few years ahead of me. Thank you! I had been learning from younger people, sometimes half my age, who clearly could not fully understand what my body needed.
I have watched a few of your hair tutorials in the past, but I have just started watching all of your other videos and I want to thank you for your openness and honesty. It is so refreshing to see a beautiful, mature, real woman on CZcams. I started making big changes to my health and wellness routine when I was in my 40's and I feel better at 47 than I did at 27. I am looking forward to watching more of your videos.
