“An open rebuke is better than concealed love.” Because concealed love is not genuine. Love corrects and reproves and instructs and it most definitely hurts
@@helenwahlstrom6316 Hope is courage. And faith is the ultimate expression of hope. Belief fortifies the heart. Regrettably, I've lost my hope and faith in life. I simply linger in this dark room. Your kindness is worthy, thanks.
All jokes aside this clip is gold. I’m not easily impressed (and have heard plenty of meaningless stuff from old people who think they’re wise) but this woman just said some REAL sh-t!! 😅 frfr tho.
You're so so right my youngest son was crashing doing all types of crap I mean name it he did it. I sent him to military school and they broke his ass and he and 2 of his brothers joined the Army ❤God made away and my brother helped me we all got what was needed for him to go and the rest is history. My husband, dad, and my brother all helped me raise my 4 sons and I went back to nursing school and they didn't hesitate to step in.
Listen to Miss Jennifer. I’m 72 years. Last year I built a patio on my tiny house and lost 30 pounds in the process. This year I’m building a shed by myself. So far I’ve lost 10 pounds. I drink plenty of water because I live in Texas and it’s HOT. I take care of my skin with homemade products and I wear my hair natural. I feel the healthiest I’ve ever felt and I’m happy with myself. I also keep a gratitude journal and I write the things I’m thankful for, the things I talk to God about and the prayers that have been answered. If you are an unhappy person, learn to love yourself, then you will learn to love others.
They can start by knowing Jesus Christ. No peace, no hope , no health without Him. I pray God will touch whoever is depressed today. There’s still hope in the LORD the Savior.❤❤
To know Jesus Christ is to know, love, and honor his Father, Jehovah God as Jesus himself does. Read again carefully. Matthew 6:9, 10. John 14:6. John 14:10 if somehow one is confused by John 14:7-9.
I had a journal right before I was diagnosed with *my business*, but my step mom found it one day and decided to read it out loud to my entire family, so 💁🏾
My brother started me Journaling in 1984. It It's so amazing when you're going through tough times to grab a journal.Look at the date.It'll be a different year.Of course and see where god has brought you from! And if you did at once he can do it again ! Trust in a lot with all your heart. Thank you for ALL you do for me Ms. Lewis.
Fasting is not all it’s cracked up to be seriously and it’s a way to get ketones which are therapeutic but if the only two diet available weren’t avocado toast or literal sludge we wouldn’t consider fasting so necessary. And people fast and go RIGHT back to terrible patterns of eating, it’s not for everyone
@Nikthehermit fasting is a literal mechanism of the body. We all do it. When you are not eating, you are fasting. Some people constantly snack -- even throughout the night -- which does not allow the body to regulate hormones such as insulin. Fasting is a necessary mechanism for ALL creatures to reset, heal, and balance. If you took a lion, and gave him the accessibility of food that modern humans have and let him eat 3 times per day, plus 5 snacks in between each meal, the lion would not only start to gain weight and eventually become obese -- it would start to get hormonal diseases such as diabetes. Fasting works for everyone because it is a human necessity. Now, not everyone can do the prolonged fasts (24 hrs or more) on a long term basis. You're right. That requires a plan, making sure that when you come out of the longer fasts -- you're replenishing nutrients, electrolytes and eating the right way. But that's in general. You should be doing that anyway if you embark on any journey to regain and maintain health. When I say fasting, I simply mean cutting down on access to food. Instead of snacking at night and during the day, stick to a meal schedule whether that looks like one, two or three meals a day for you.
@@ViolinfanaticOriginal then that’s not fasting that’s called digesting your food. And if someone’s constantly hungry they need to change the food they’re eating. Like you really think this is the first time I’ve heard about fasting? 😭 but in reality yes, I was an avid fasting 3-7 day water fast. And that was not necessary. It sent my body haywire. Unless you’re fat adapted and doing dry fasts the benefits are no as good as simply eating small amounts of food that stabilize the blood sugar and exercising to stay in state of ketosis. Sugar is poison obviously. And people fast to lower glycogen, when there’s plenty of better ways. Oh and sunlight ruins your skin like it always has morning sunlight great but after 10am get your ass out those UV rays. and of course sleep ♥️
@Nikthehermit digestion only takes 2 to 4 hrs. Fasting is whenever you're not eating. We all fast when we sleep. That's why the first meal of the day was named "Break Fast." Then there's intermittent fasting which is really the abstinence of food and snacks during short intervals - 10, 12, 16 or 18 hrs. Then, we get into prolonged fasting with 24 hrs or more which is autophagy territory. I agree that 5 day or more fasts done without knowledge or paying attention to what your body needs can cause stress (hormonal). But as a person among thousands, -- not including those who observe Ramadan or other religious fasting cycles for thousands of years, -- who performs regular prolonged fasts of 10 days or more (my longest fasting 25 days), I can attest to the power of fasting for more than just ketone production. Fasting helps reveal issues as your body goes into hyper repair mode, autophagy, and hormonal balancing from lack of food stimulation (insulin is released whenever you eat, not only sugar consumption). I highly suggest Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Mindy Pelz, and Dr. Pradip Jamnadas if you want the latest information and research on fasting. Dr. Jason Fung is a nephrologist who has spent years reversing diabetes and some cancers with fasting alone -- even without major dietary changes -- although he suggests a fat adapted, low carb lifestyle for long term maintenance. Dr. Mindy Pelz teaches not only how to fast, but also how to eat -- especially for women whose reproductive hormones can really go haywire based on what and WHEN we eat. Thank you for the discussion! Have a great day!
@Nikthehermit oh, and when you eat small amounts of food instead of eating to satiety, this can lead to insulin resistance, as you are constantly stimulating hunger and insulin. It's better to eat to satiety and then balance out insulin with the abstinence of food for a certain amount of time. One more thing, you said 5 to 7 day fasts threw your body out of wack. When I first started prolonged fasting, I experienced a ton of detox symptoms and keto flu. The detox symptoms are sometimes worse than the keto flu because your body is expelling and REACTING to toxins being released. Fasting is like the fire man or woman. It reveals and tries to fight the fire. You don't blame the fire personnel for starting the fire. Fasting is not the origin of problems. Fasting is the revealer, and yes, during that process, things can feel terrible because now your body is having to expel and fight off things that were hidden in your system. If you can get past the detox symptoms and properly refeed, maintaining a healthy lifestyle -- fasting is powerful! However, if you just feed those toxins back into your system by eating terribly after every Fast, then yes, it's easy to blame fasting as opposed to lifestyle choices for our body's pain and anguish. For those reading these comments, I highly recommend books like Dr. Jason Fung The Obesity Code and Dr. Mindy Pelz Fast Like a Girl.
NO, EVERY BLACK OVERWEIGHT WOMAN THAT STILL CHERISHES FRIED CHICKEN SHOULD HEAR IT. SHE IS CLEARLY TALKING TO THE OVERWEIGHT WOMEN, and you MAKE IT ABOUT FAMILY? CoME OUT OF THE DARK ROOM SHES TALKING ABOUT .

Bad diet, isolation, emotional baggage,etc is a terrible combo.

been journaling “what do i want? who am i?” for 15 years and while i’m no closer to a definite answer, i’ve learned so much about the beauty of myself and the world in the process
I pray that the Lord touches your mind. He said, "Let this mind who was in Christ be in me!" Think about good things. Think about things that are pure. Just. Right. Phillipeans 4:8 Sending (((hugs)))
I'm fix'n to go outside auntie.. I was feel'n some type of way until I seen this.. I'm going through chemo, but this made me get my ass up & get out.. Thank you! What do I want? Garlic Crab!

@@sarahmason9831 Thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement and prayers. Started not to comment, but felt compelled to do so...have to be honest with myself and who knows it might help someone else along the way. Peace and blessings.
@@ReginaYoung-xn5zj Just wanted to say thank you for encouraging me to keep going, it really means a lot. Taking one day at a time. Peace and blessing to you and your family.
As a fitness trainer /instructor for the past 17 years, I appreciate her encouraging this message to others. I tell my clients all the time that only THEY can truly make the change. I can motivate, encourage, teach, and workout beside them until I'm blue in the face.... but it takes THEMSELVES to truly do the work. ❤. I encourage blk people in general to find wellness communities to be part of. I have black male clients that need some serious changes out of obesity & depression as well!
I am with you about talking to folks about their health, the ultra processed foods, obesity, diabetes, heart disease and the list goes on. There is some serious denial going on making their current state somehow acceptable. It has to start with them. Nothing fancy, a good pair of sneakers that support their feet and weight, comfortable clothing, and start walking. Suggested people walk for 10 minutes a day. 10 minutes is 5 minutes away from your house, at that Mark turn around and walk back home. That's the other 5 minutes. Gradually you increase the amount of time but just keep in mind half of the allotted time is going out to the location and the other half is the same amount of time to come home.
I can relate. I was 224 lbs for many years. It was so hard to lose the weight. Now I am 153. One thing I've learned was Not All Medicines is Good. I use to weigh 130 lbs for years until I got on different meds and it Blew Me Up Like a Balloon About to Explode. This was 2009. So I Took Control Over What Was Important: The Meds or My Life. I was a Gymnast and Ballet Dancer. I've NEVER WEIGHED THAT MUCH IN MY LIFE. These DOCTORS DON'T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS. YOU DO. YOU KNOW YOU BETTER THAN ANYONE. EVEN YOUR FAMILY DOESN'T KNOW YOU. ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY OF YOUR OWN. Correct? Think about it. 🤔
I used to be a drug addict, practiced witchcraft, was homeless, and lost custody of my kids tue to my addiction. I found my identity in Christ. He delivered me from witchcraft and I'm clean for 2 years. She's right about the journaling part. I write to God and write questions and prayers and in time he answers them. Take care of yourself.
What an amazing and blessed testimony! I'm so happy for you, darling ❤ May the Lord continue to keep you close as you follow Him. You are a walking miracle 😊
I admit I heard Ms. Lewis preach before, but her words didn’t stick to me until more recently. I’ll be 31 tomorrow, and I’ve come to terms with my depression- I made lifestyle changes, I changed my outlook on life. When I finally listened, I was able to make changes. Last year I weighed 210Ibs. Today I sit at 160. I will never be that heavy again, I want kids I want to run after, and a life worth living. If it wasn’t for this woman, among many other ppl that aren’t afraid to tell the truth of that matter. They all played a part in saving my life when I absolutely wasn’t able to listen to my own body well enough to save myself. And to those that say being +200Ibs isn’t that bad- look around. I’ve been on this planet 30 years, in America all my life, and I thought there was an obesity problem before. Now it feels like you can go into any restaurant chain and look for a literal needle of a person in a haystack. It hurts, but it’s true, and the fact that it’s been “allowed” to be unhealthy, unfit, just dancing with death bc food addictions are real, except we as ppl aren’t willing to let go of our comforts bc we don’t like be uncomfortable. In the same vein as this woman- PUT THE SUGAR DOWN. It’s making you sick! Put down the shit that’s been processed beyond recognition. Nourish your body with nutrients and not empty useless junk that’s making you sicker! Learn hunger from cravings and ffs learn to be uncomfortable in all the right ways. Learn a new skill, live a new life, uncomfortable in all the right ways.
I journaled as a teenage for a year. Then my Dad read it. Got home from school and lived through hell for a week. No journals ever! Everything you say, write and do can and will be held against you.
@user-tj4ks3uh6f If you ever been to Hawaii "Auntie" is a term of endearment. To show respect, no disrespect intended. Educate yourself please and thank you
I never knew her name until now. She's always been blunt as a spoon. She still looks the same with that same attitude. Thank you Jenifer Lewis, you're a true treasure.
The easiest and most affordable item to BINGE on when you’re stressed (and who isn’t these days) is FOOD. And she is ABSOLUTELY right about sunlight, fresh air and journaling.
@@pacybenson4339Really? First, stop the Wal Mart shopping. And change the ice cream to berries and other fruit and you'll be fine. Wal Mart is trash and breeds nothing but more trash.
She’s right! I stopped applying anything unhealthy to my life. Food, mindset, people, career, and etc. I am only 8 weeks in and I’m so proud of myself and I am living in the change of my habits
As a white woman who has only ever eaten fried chicken for almost 28 years it definitely is starting to cause me problems with my health and with 3 kids I definitely can't afford to be depressed. I'm definitely going to start journaling ❤
We need this in every family.

I pray that the Lord touches your mind. He said, "Let this mind who was in Christ be in me!" Think about good things. Think about things that are pure. Just. Right. Phillipeans 4:8 Sending (((hugs)))

Thank Ms Jennifer Lewis...I needed to hear this. I'm on my way to recovery. Thanking you for giving positive words to all that needed it. 🙏 😊
This hit hard but it is the truth
I was going to say the exact same thing when I saw your comment and I thought maybe rather than repeating you I’d reach out and let u know I’m in the thick of it too,and it so hard to take care of yourself when we have so much on our shoulders already..just know that from my beach here in Western Australia I’ll send a prayer of strength and good vibes across the Indian ocean in just a few hours,straight to you,Dray…stay strong and don’t lose heart,when you’re feeling low just know a stranger on the other side of the planet is on your side and hoping you make it through..BIG LOVE
Stay strong in your recovery. You Can Do It! ❤❤
@@sarahmason9831 Thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement and prayers. Started not to comment, but felt compelled to do so...have to be honest with myself and who knows it might help someone else along the way. Peace and blessings.
@@ReginaYoung-xn5zj Just wanted to say thank you for encouraging me to keep going, it really means a lot. Taking one day at a time. Peace and blessing to you and your family.
As a fitness trainer /instructor for the past 17 years, I appreciate her encouraging this message to others. I tell my clients all the time that only THEY can truly make the change. I can motivate, encourage, teach, and workout beside them until I'm blue in the face.... but it takes THEMSELVES to truly do the work. ❤. I encourage blk people in general to find wellness communities to be part of. I have black male clients that need some serious changes out of obesity & depression as well!
Do you have a channel I want to loose weight how much do you charge?
If you can't afford it, walk yourself, I know you know someone else with the problem, you start the conversation ❤❤❤❤❤!
I am with you about talking to folks about their health, the ultra processed foods, obesity, diabetes, heart disease and the list goes on. There is some serious denial going on making their current state somehow acceptable. It has to start with them. Nothing fancy, a good pair of sneakers that support their feet and weight, comfortable clothing, and start walking. Suggested people walk for 10 minutes a day. 10 minutes is 5 minutes away from your house, at that Mark turn around and walk back home. That's the other 5 minutes. Gradually you increase the amount of time but just keep in mind half of the allotted time is going out to the location and the other half is the same amount of time to come home.
The female Kevin Samuel .
I can relate. I was 224 lbs for many years. It was so hard to lose the weight. Now I am 153. One thing I've learned was Not All Medicines is Good. I use to weigh 130 lbs for years until I got on different meds and it Blew Me Up Like a Balloon About to Explode. This was 2009. So I Took Control Over What Was Important: The Meds or My Life. I was a Gymnast and Ballet Dancer. I've NEVER WEIGHED THAT MUCH IN MY LIFE. These DOCTORS DON'T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS. YOU DO. YOU KNOW YOU BETTER THAN ANYONE. EVEN YOUR FAMILY DOESN'T KNOW YOU. ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY OF YOUR OWN. Correct? Think about it. 🤔
This woman is so extraordinary. I love her authenticity. Love it !!!!
Damn I'm a grown ass man with a family. This lady is spitting that's why she's so good at acting becuase she so powerful in real life. Love you ma 💟
Amen. Adopting a whole food plant-based lifestyle helped me reverse obesity and depression. I want my testimony to help others do the same.
Do tell ❤
❤❤❤❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@easybreezywholefoodie 🙌
Please do share if you find the time or the courage to do so I’m sure there’s a lot of people you would be able to reach. Blessings to you.❤
Awesome
Love this sista. If only more of our elders spoke like this to our women.
Planning a podcast exactly like this❤
@@MsLady309-xs2ni it's needed!!!
Bcuz putting down others always works?
THAT PART EACH ONE TEACH ONE I LOVE YOU JENNIFER 🙏🥰❤️🌹
@JSlove-mj3uk your not our sister, this is not about you.
“Come out of them dark rooms with all that depression.” I feel as though she was speaking to me!🥺🥺🙌🏾
I used to be a drug addict, practiced witchcraft, was homeless, and lost custody of my kids tue to my addiction. I found my identity in Christ. He delivered me from witchcraft and I'm clean for 2 years. She's right about the journaling part. I write to God and write questions and prayers and in time he answers them. Take care of yourself.
Thank you for this ❤
What an amazing and blessed testimony! I'm so happy for you, darling ❤ May the Lord continue to keep you close as you follow Him. You are a walking miracle 😊
@@emalinebachenheim awe! Thank you! That's the sweetest thing anyone has ever told me! 🥹 And same too you my friend! 🤟🏽
@@toastEDmrshmello09 you're very welcome friend 🙂
‘Practiced witchcraft’ is an interesting way to say you played with crystals.
I'm that family member ❤ Keep yourself healthy 🎉
I just love ❤️ this young lady....speaking from experience....❤
I admit I heard Ms. Lewis preach before, but her words didn’t stick to me until more recently. I’ll be 31 tomorrow, and I’ve come to terms with my depression- I made lifestyle changes, I changed my outlook on life. When I finally listened, I was able to make changes. Last year I weighed 210Ibs. Today I sit at 160. I will never be that heavy again, I want kids I want to run after, and a life worth living. If it wasn’t for this woman, among many other ppl that aren’t afraid to tell the truth of that matter. They all played a part in saving my life when I absolutely wasn’t able to listen to my own body well enough to save myself.
And to those that say being +200Ibs isn’t that bad- look around. I’ve been on this planet 30 years, in America all my life, and I thought there was an obesity problem before. Now it feels like you can go into any restaurant chain and look for a literal needle of a person in a haystack. It hurts, but it’s true, and the fact that it’s been “allowed” to be unhealthy, unfit, just dancing with death bc food addictions are real, except we as ppl aren’t willing to let go of our comforts bc we don’t like be uncomfortable.
In the same vein as this woman- PUT THE SUGAR DOWN. It’s making you sick! Put down the shit that’s been processed beyond recognition. Nourish your body with nutrients and not empty useless junk that’s making you sicker! Learn hunger from cravings and ffs learn to be uncomfortable in all the right ways. Learn a new skill, live a new life, uncomfortable in all the right ways.
Love her Every time she speaks, she speaks knowledge. She's very smart, intelligent woman. I've watched her for years. I love her
Love you. Whoever you are that's reading this. You're not alone! We're all fighting something.
♥️♥️
I journaled as a teenage for a year. Then my Dad read it. Got home from school and lived through hell for a week. No journals ever! Everything you say, write and do can and will be held against you.
She is so right, we need to be more conscious of what we are doing to ourselves. Thanks sis.❤
Man makes me miss my grandmother. She was so direct like this. We need it sometimes.
@Rongarrett1 ❤ My favorite comment
I whole heartedly adore this beautiful sista with love and respect. Her spirit is what's missing in the American black family. Gotta get it back 🟥⬛🟩✊🏾
You are so right! Get up walk out into the light, find what’s great about you and embrace it!❤
I am buying a journal that says, “All the things I am making up!” Just as a reminder of this woman. I need her as a mom.
She's telling the truth
I absolutely Love her. She just slaps us with the truth we all need. ❤❤❤
This is the realest piece of wisdom ever ❤ much respect
Bless her Lord!!!!
Love you, and the God that’s in you!!
Auntie is awesome! Everybody needs someone like her in their family ❤
She's not your auntie.
@user-tj4ks3uh6f If you ever been to Hawaii "Auntie" is a term of endearment. To show respect, no disrespect intended. Educate yourself please and thank you

I never knew her name until now. She's always been blunt as a spoon. She still looks the same with that same attitude. Thank you Jenifer Lewis, you're a true treasure.
Jennifer Lewis! From St. Louis, MO speak the truth baby!
This brought me to tears. It's so true. ❤ I'd always admired her realness!
Black hollywoods mother is speaking truth and motherly advice Thank you Ms Jenifer Lewis
Period 😮😮..
Not just “Black Hollywood” Everywood!
I love this lady. She keeps it real no matter how much it could hurt
I can’t deny the truth to get and keep your well being! Thank you!❤
The easiest and most affordable item to BINGE on when you’re stressed (and who isn’t these days) is FOOD. And she is ABSOLUTELY right about sunlight, fresh air and journaling.
It aint affordable no more lol
@@aubriellemorgan that’s true. I’ve switched to the cheapest ice cream from Walmart and discovered it’s about 35-50% AIR
@@pacybenson4339lol 😂 it’s just not the same as the higher quality brands.
@@pacybenson4339Really? First, stop the Wal Mart shopping. And change the ice cream to berries and other fruit and you'll be fine.
Wal Mart is trash and breeds nothing but more trash.
That's a woman whose heart is so full of love. Gritty, fiery, no-nonsense love ❤
Tell them! This is a woman of strength here speaking truth!
Words of wisdom, we need this wake-up call.
She’s right! I stopped applying anything unhealthy to my life. Food, mindset, people, career, and etc. I am only 8 weeks in and I’m so proud of myself and I am living in the change of my habits
❤❤❤
@Jasmineaugustine8584 You're an inspiration 💎
As a white woman who has only ever eaten fried chicken for almost 28 years it definitely is starting to cause me problems with my health and with 3 kids I definitely can't afford to be depressed. I'm definitely going to start journaling ❤
Yeah they make it seem like only blk ppl eat fried chicken 😂😂😂
But I get her point though.
Havin a fried chicken diet only is nuts😂
@@yamon598 that's all I eat at restaurants or pretty much any family gathering all my life lol
@lauroftheworlds that's crazy😂😂 fried chicken has been declared my favorite but sheesh only fried chicken is madness
@@yamon598 yeah I know what everybodys fried chicken taste like 🤣🤣
Grew up watching this lady since a young! Mane I tell every time I her speak reminds me of mother❤️💯 LOVE YUH MA😢
I have always loved Jenifer for being so real.
That’s my auntie!💙 always speaking real and from the heart
Journaling, believe it or not, is self-healing. 💜 And love this lady ❤
Been going through so much after my divorce and thus just what I need right now.....
