  • My name is Thamar, but you can call me Tammy. I struggle with too many mental issues, lol, but don't we all? On this channel I film most of my struggles, I'm not that open in real life though. I'm not promoting any kind of (eating) disorder, I'm just documenting my life. I'm very hapy to have you Little Lemons accompany me. Thank you SO much!

    I work in the addictions field and I always tell my clients that if you can make it through one day without using, you can make it two days, then four days, then a week. A lot of people don't give themselves credit for doing well for one day but that is a HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT and should be celebrated.

    Hi Tammy, I love watching your videos. You are so honest and share with us your good and bad days. When I watch you I see myself, 40 years younger. I'm 67 and I've been struggling with my weight since I was 6. My highest weight was 150 kg. Today I'm 115 kg. But this took me years with a lot of ups and downs. At the end of 2020 I was at 101kg and I told my doctor, next time we see, I' ll be under 100 kg. . This would have been the first time for years and years . What happened, I'm at 115 kg again and I ask myself , how could you be so stupid to let this happen. But I won't give up. So, I'm so glad that I found your channel and always look forward to your next video. I suffer with you and celebrate with you every pound you lose.
    Best wishes and good luck .

    Hello, lovely Tammy! My high weight was 375 lb at 5’10” (170 kg, 178 cm) I’ve kept 115 lb (52 kg) off for 6 years. I still have 60 lb (27kg) to lose after a long plateau. I know if I can do this, so can you! I have adhd, binge disorder, and depression so it was arduous. I know you can do it. I know that all or nothing feeling but even though I’m still fat, I feel way better, am off blood pressure medication and look better. I’m not perfect but don’t let a plateau stop you. They’re inevitable.

    I was also stuck in a binge eating disorder. What helped me?
    - servings which are big enough, so I feel full after
    - 5-6 servings a day. (3 normal one‘s and 2-3 snacks)
    - eating protein (chicken for example), good fats (avocado, tuna, salmon, nuts, etc.) rich carbs (fullgrain bread, fullgrain pasta) with every meal
    - professional help who gave me tipps.
    - an ‚emergency box‘. Whenever I had cravings I could get that box. In that box I kept ginger bons (little spicy bons. Another intens spice changes your cravings. should work with chilly too) , wasabi, fidged spinner to calm down😂.
    - To throw away my old clothes that didn‘t fit anymore. Try to accept your body right now and stop the fight and pressure against yourself. Surrender. This was not easy for me. I was like : But if I accept myself right now, I will never lose weight!
    Forget that. You will. Once you accept your body, you will start to listen to your body again. What does it need? Rest? Food? Movement? Intuitive eating starts automatically once you feel home in your body. Then your body lowers the weight. But just trust your body. It knows what it is doing. Trust it and stop trying to do the work for it. It know when it need more food (stress, cold winter or what ever) and it also know when it has to get rid of it. Look in the mirror and appreaciate. It does so much for you every day. It keeps up your health. :)

      Great Post ! Some really good advice. Can I just say that I don't have an ED but like many others I have always dieted, joined slimming clubs etc, so in a way I do have an issue with food, but what you say about accepting yourself today is so true. I started doing this a while back and it's amazing how much pressure you take off yourself. My weight is pretty much constant ( I would like to lose 10lbs and I will slowly but surely - no pressure), but for today I'll accept myself. If I eat a few treats later on today, it's not the end of the world ( I know this isn't what people with EDS do - as in it's not a few treats - no disrespect intended there).

    • @Mandaxx25
      @Mandaxx25 Před rokem

      Can I ask how much you lost with those rules? I'm not judging you whatsoever because everyone's different. Just that if I ate 6 different times a day and enough that I was full every single time I would never lose a pound. I currently can't lose and I eat between 800 and 900cals a day. Thanks to medication I was taking I've destroyed my metabolism.

      ​​@@Mandaxx25of course you cannot lose weight you don't even eat actoddler school Child rate of calories!!
      You need at least 1200 -1400 ish calories for a normal fit 5ft + person if you can walk dance jump Squat Lunge go on stairs etc ...than you'd probably have a bmr of 1350 ish to 1400 ish mine is higher than 1380 and I'm not even 5 ft 1 ....
      And its not about the calories daily its about how you eat your macro's how you respond to stress both in eating and sleeping.... keeping food dairies is far more useful than strictly rigidly trying to get an exact calorie number daily.... it Evens out over the week anyway!! So yes you can have that muffin or 1 mini pizza once a week/ at the only party you go to this month...
      Its far more about balance hormones , sleeping well , processing bad emotions than it is about Hitting a certain number on the scale or getting the perfect caloric deficit every day...

      And although some say its not so you CAN lose weight by eaten more often. It is about the choice you make how you prepare the food HOW and WHY you eat . If you Combine wisely you can certainly have a well chosen snack or even 2 . But that's not having half the cake in front if you or the whole bag of crisps...

    I understand what you are going through 😟. I am someone who the weight loss community would see as a "success " story. I lost 140 pounds and in the process completely changed my life. The reason I started was very cut and dry, I basically didn't want to die. Somewhere towards the end of my losing weight, I started to forget why I was doing it. Even at my lowest weight, I always thought I needed to lose just a little more, like it was never quite enough. I was suffering from body dysmporphia, which I think is quite common. On the other hand, people were treating me like I had uncovered some big secret to weight loss. No ,I hadn't I just worked hard over and over again. I maintained for about 18 months, then my life changed, I didn't have the time or energy to give like I previously had. Over time, my food choices started being not so good, and I started to struggle with binge eating. I'm an all or nothing person, so if I had 1 "bad" thing, I'd be like stuff it I'll just eat crap all day. My body image got bad and I started to doubt myself. I've never totally given up however, I keep trying to pick myself up. I know I can't dwell on yesterday , I can only move forward. I'm very fortunate that I've only gained 20 pounds it could be alot worse

    • @Chill-Pill
      @Chill-Pill Před 2 lety +9

      I worked my butt off and lost 100 pounds in my 20s. Maintained it maybe 3 years and my brother suddenly passed away. Started bingeing again and relying on food for comfort, now I have 170 pounds to lose and I am back at it, 2.5 decades later. It’s hard. Naturally thin people never get it. It’s our coping mechanism to deal with life and it’s so intertwined with our emotional selves that separating ourselves forever from our comforts (certain foods) feels like death. So I have traded my coping mechanism for functional depression basically because my ability to cope with life stuff is drastically reduced. It is what it is. We all do what we need to get by. Be kind to yourself…we all fall down. You got back up. It’s enough.
      People who judge those who are fat and those who binge have no idea whatsoever about why we got that way…what the causes are. I had a really shitty childhood which set me up for a difficult adult life. People carry a lot of emotional pain. They deal with it in various ways. You do the best that you can do and that’s it.

    @shrutigautam7673 Před 2 lety +7

    Hey, I have discovered two things recently and they are helping me a bit.
    First, completely removing the habit of binging is very tough. The neural networks in brain are formed through repetitive actions and it takes a lot of time to change them. Instead of expecting that you will never binge, what you can do is change the way you binge. if you find yourself having the urge to binge. Then, make this rule to yourself that you will only binge on certain foods( for me it's home cooked meals, fruits and peanuts) I ate them a lot when I am stressed and in binge mode. I don't eat sugar and junk food no matter how bad my binge mode is. I will cook multiple meals for myself (cooking also helps in relaxation) and eat them, be creative with healthy foods (there are a lot of options if you look). The things is I know my body will go into the binge mode when life will be stressful but now I have changed the rules of the game and i only binge on good stuff. Slowly I am working on coping with stress and hopefully will totally remove binging from my life and have a good relationship with food but till then I will binge on my terms(eating only healthy)
    Next thing is if the temptation is too much and i find myself eating some junk food (breaking the rules) then I tell myself that in future I will eat this food, this food is not bad, I will enjoy eating it but right now I can't eat this food with my current toxic mindset. Right now I am feeling guilty, I regret eating it and this will reinforce my already bad relationship with food. There is abundance of junk food and i will eat it in future(I don't say to myself that i will never eat junk food and this is the last time i am eating it and after that i will restrict and will never eat it, because thinking like this will make you eat that even more because you are telling yourself you won't ever eat it again) instead tell yourself that when I eat something I want to be happy about it. I am not happy right now eating this ice cream so I am not eating it. In future when I will be in right state of mind then I will enjoy my ice cream but right now, no, thank you next.
    Hope this helps you. Also being kind and aware always helps.

    Tammy, after many years of obsession with food, whether it was never thinking about it or thinking about it 24/7, something clicked in me and I found a happy medium and lost over 100 pounds. I have kept it off for almost 20 years and when I look back at those earlier years I can pinpoint and acknowledge points in my life when I obsessed. Whether it was a marriage (mine), a divorce (mine), an attempted suicide (my daughter), a death (a husband), another death (also a husband), a new job (mine), a promotion (mine), a broken heart (mine), on and on it goes, where it stops nobody knows. My kids were grown, I was very happy. Then it clicked…when I stopped obsessing, I realized I only needed to eat when I was hungry. I only needed to eat half the portion I was used to eating. I lowered my carb and sugar intake by starting to view carbs and sugar as my enemies. I know, drastic, right? Knowing my body actually needed carbs, I limited carbs to 3 times a week. I don’t need sugar…at all. I was more of a salty crunchy fiend, sugar wasn’t as important to me, but I still allowed myself sugar every once in a while. Now? I eat basically anything I want, just in small portions. Believe me…I understand. I truly do. Picture yourself at even 200 pounds. Will you be happy? 250? 150? (I was 5’9 throughout my 20’s, 30’s and 40’s, and started getting shorter after that lol. I’m now 5’6 and weigh 150. My body shape can hold at 150, look good and feel amazing, and I’m still a size 10-12. Am I supermodel thin? Of course not, I’d never want to be that thin!) My ultimate goal was to just feel better damnit. To be able to buy off the rack clothes in the style that I loved. That’s not selfish or shallow, that’s self-preservation and contentment in myself. Weight is just a number as they say. Lose weight until YOU feel better, not when the scale tells you.
    Okay…I’m going to go there lol…you have an absolutely gorgeous face and smile. Gorgeous hair that is to die for. I say do it! People are going to be jealous, yes. People are going to stare at you not because of your weight, but because you’re going to be a knock-out gorgeous. Trust me❤️ your click will come. Love yourself first and foremost.

    i like this video because its so real and raw of your life! I was 95kg at my heaviest at the end of 2017. I lost 31kg in about a year and a half, however it was through not very unsustainable methods. So basically since losing those 31kgs, it was a rollercoaster of weight gain and weight loss. Nothing major but I have to emphasize this strongly that if you are especially struggling with eating disorders, then it is so important to never restrict diet yourself! its so important to find balance and learn to eat balanced nutrition along with all the foods you love but in moderation, while also staying active as much as possible, even if its 20 mins a day of some sort of simple exercise. At the end of the day, the hardest part is keeping the weight lost if you have been overweight all of your life previously, so during your journey you want to take it slow and be able to make permanent good changes into your life which you will be able to sustain for the rest of your remaining life.

    You got this! Staying strong in the supermarket is so hard when they put temptation everywhere. I'm also trying to beat binge eating. Over the last ten years my weight has crept up to the point where I weigh double what I once did. I was way too thin back then and used to restrict, with the occasional binge. I managed to curb the restricting but binging got worse, so it's time to beat it and claim my happiness. We can do this 😊

    I just came across your channel and wanted to say thank you for sharing your story. This takes a lot of courage. I've been struggling with my obesity and self-image since a young age. I had lost 70 pounds since Jan 2019 and regained 15 pounds over the last few months. I struggle with my mental health and binge eating!!! Last year, I was diagnosed with Complex PTSD, anxiety and depression as a result of being sexually abused as a child and a series of abusive and failed relationships later in life. I'm in therapy and I have a long road ahead of me. I weight 242 pounds and still have a lot to lose. What I find hard is people I see asking me if I have "let myself go", "stopped walking" or "gained weight". It's like a constant reminder of my food addiction and the fact that I did fail once again. I will keep going but the addiction (I realise that's what it is now 😢) is very strong. I wish you can overcome this as well. Much love ❤🇨🇦

    Girl you are not alone. I have suffered the last couple.of years with social anxiety, bouts of depression and anxiety. I'm only trying to break the cycle this year. I also gained weight, the problem is in my teens I was already diagnosed with chronic joint pain and being heavy or overweight does not help my condition. I started running this week, it was so difficult. I've also tried to be more conscious about what I eat for breakfast and lunch as I prepare those meals myself. I've found that meal prep works best for me, in the summer it's easier because I prefer lighter meals. I need to lose about 8-10 kgs, it doesn't sound a lot on comparison but when you have chronic joint pain it seems like a mountain. I prefer running as exercise as it's not too strenuous on my joints and I also have to learn not to over do it, it's a marathon not a sprint. I also realise I need to mentally, emotionally and spiritually focus on things that have contributed to mg anxiety and depression. I am unemployed and have been struggling to find a job, I've also lost direction and my romantic relationship was doing summersaults 😏. I decided to break off the romantic relationship because I felt so drained by EVERYTHING I need time to just focus on me. I've been so overinvested in everyone else's wellbeing to my own detriment. I also felt like I couldn't give anything anymore to my partner because I was so defeated. I'm still working on getting a job and not letting whatever I do definer me. I'm not saying it's easy but it's reminding yourself it's one step at a time. Be strong. There are a lot of people in the same situation. We are in solidarity.

    I'm 6 months in and not binged.... I found the evenings the hardest because if I'm not so busy I would then eat and I wasn't even hungry but now I eat most of my food later in the day so my stomach is full when I would normally binge and it seems to work. I still have to stay away from trigger foods like donuts and cakes. I'm also on a slimming world plan but three quarters of my food I eat is fruit and vegetables and I keep my food very simple. I hope you find what works best for you 👍

    I’m sure a 40 pound gain in a few months is very possible, unfortunately. I’ve got BED, and have anxiety and depression, too. I got into therapy and I’m on meds that help, but the biggest help to me was just getting some form of movement into my day. It’s tough to motivate myself, but it’s necessary for my mental health.
    Your grocery haul looks lovely. I stick to the same foods every day, and rarely buy foods I can binge on… that’s just what works for me… you gotta do you. Regardless, I’m cheering for you! Keep fighting the fight!

    I have gained 42 lb in just one month more than once. I have binge eating disorder and can eat over 20'000 calories in a day at my worst. I do best on nutritarian food plan. I lost 13 lb last week. There is a lot of fluid retention when binge on junk and it comes off when eat healthy. When I did my shopping for new year I went to the fresh fruit and vegetable area, the tins of beans area, grains area and the frozen fruit and veg area and then I paid without looking at all the other stuff. My highest weight was 342 lb at 5 feet 9 inches. I am 269 lb at the moment. I got down to 234 lb last summer but then I went back up to 290 lb very fast. New year new start but every moment is new. The ups and downs are exhausting but the only way to escape that is to keep moving toward positive goal and never give up.

    ik ben bij 7:26 en je zegt dat je gemakkelijk ben en jerry's etc. binge eet omdat ze makkelijk zijn. (en lekker natuurlijk) maar de voedingswaarde van ben en jerry's zijn natuurlijk alles wat je niet wilt wanneer je probeert vet te verliezen. ik heb geen verstand van dieeeten of wat dan ook hoor maar als ik je een tips mag geven om een ongezonde binge te voorkomen::
    1: leg je zelf *GEEN* strenge regels op, bij de meeste mensen is het zo dat wanneer iets niet mag, je het JUIST wel wilt. en wanneer je zelf beslist of iets mag of niet dan in eens heb je die drang niet meer.
    2: als je een binge aan voelt komen, vertel je zelf dat je jezelf eerst vol mag eten met bijvoorbeeld couscous salade, komkommers, een bak tomaatjes, een zak geschrapte worteltjes en een liter water, (vaak misplaatst je hoofd dorst voor honger) en dat als je dan nogsteeds echt echt zin hebt in een hapje ijs of dergelijke dat dat dan oke is :) want je moet ook gewoon naar je lichaam luisteren uiteraard, en op zn tijd met mate iets zoets is natuurlijk niks mis mee. maar vaak nadat je jezelf eerst vol hebt gestopt met gezond voedsel wat laag in calorieën zit, heb je daarna geen binge drang meer.
    op die manier wordt ijs en etc, geen verboden voedsel, want je zegt tegen je zelf dat het mag er zit alleen een 'maar' aan vast, dat je eerst kijkt of je echt honger/dorst hebt, zo ja, dan stil je dat op een gezonde manier. en als je echt vol zit en als je dan nog steeds zin hebt in ijs mag dat dus alsnog alleen doordat je je honger gevoel hebt gestild heb je veel meer zelf controle en dan heb je als het goed is ook genoeg aan bijvoorbeeld 2 lepeltjes ijs of 4 blokjes chocolade. :)
    nogmaals ik ben helemaal geen professional, dit is iets wat voor mij heel goed werkt wanneer ik verslaafd ben aan iets ongezonds, en wellicht kan het jou ook helpen! zou het echt tof vinden om te zien als jij je dromen behaald :)
