After rewinding my health from morbidly obese I discovered my weight loss journey has nothing to do with weight and has everything to do with my mind.

Great Advise!
You know I haven't followed you for long, but I have to say this is easily your best video to date!
Hey Jess… Hope you did have a successful weekend. No matter what the 1year weigh-in shows (I guess that's today), the fact remains that you've dropped 100 pounds, already! Whoo hoo! You're doing it, so keep on doing it. I do have a request/consideration for when you're talking about stuff like this in your vids. Perhaps, don't mention specific binge foods by name. Maybe say things like "a particular ethnic food" or "a frozen confection" or "a bag of processed carbs." Reason being, just hearing the name of a specific food is enough to send some of us into a binge or slip. I also attend OA, and that's how we do it there, so no one starts obsessing over any food. Anyway, wishing you all the success in the world!
Im crying…literally! I was just asking my husband why I couldn't stick to keto, why was I sabotaging myself!! Thank you for this video! Thank you so much because this is exactly what I needed to hear!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!
You're so right, it's all mental, and you are the one that is going to fight you the most. (Sorry if that doesn't make sense!) Everything is centered around food for most – celebrations, sadness, stress, happiness, etc.
Getting yourself into the mindset of any weight loss journey is a process, and it's a long process. Love this video! π₯°
She is talking about letting go of old habits that no longer serve you and creating new ones.
That is a good strategy.
You rocked your year! Itβs the journey not a race
Hey Jess I was wondering if you ave had any trouble ordering from the Yvette company??? I made a $73.00 purchase in January And just received my order and surprise its a dog bed?? I didnt order a dog bed I ordered work out cloths!! I have been trying to get an answer from someone for 2 weeks now just wondering if you have any suggestions?
Jess, you are so spot on with this post. Thank you for sharing and I fully agree with you that our minds are very powerful and can even trick us if we donβt battle it out. Great video. π
Iβm having a hard time reaching my macros. Can you stay under them? And Iβm having a really hard time incorporating fats.
Very, very insightful. I will approach my problem from this perspective and see what happens.
Very honest! Thank you for sharing your journey with us! π
I will be 40 in May. I have dieted off and on for 20 yrs. Ive even done Keto before. But I wasnt in the game Mentally. It took me having autoimmmune issues ((still in the process of diagnosis)) to get it. Now its clicked for me, the switch has flipped. I had to face the reality of what I was doing to myself, my kids, my partner. Ive been doing Keto for a month and this time Im down 22lbs. Mentality is the key to weight loss.
It's one of the hardest battles of my life
And this is why I subscribed. ππ½Youβre so real and so wise! Thank you for sharing your experience.π
You are so darn awesome π
I know exactly what you mean jess, I can remember as a child and in my early twenties that eating was just something you did when you remembered, it wasn't the thing I used to run to when I felt badly. I think sometimes we have to say to ourselves, it's okay to cry, lol go sit in a dark cupboard, make a pot of tea sit in the garden, put on some loud music, watch a teary movie, go for a drive go to the ocean cleanse the mind with the sound of waves and the spray of salt water ( my favourite). At the moment I'm looking for an embroidery class I can remember as a fifteen year old embroidering ladie bugs dragon flies and other naturous things on the legs of my levis ( God I wish I still had those levis today) these are the sorts of things you did when you wanted to just get lost, lol I want to get back to that sort of lost if you know what I mean.
Love is patient,, love is kind~
Jess you are such a inspiration! I started my journey January 2018. I lost 50 pounds and felt great. After the holidays and surgery on my shoulder Iβve gained almost 20 pounds. Iβm so depressed. I was so proud of myself. Thank-you for these talks. I will get back my get up and go. Soon I hope. #givemyselfgrace
Hello, I have to thank you! I started December 15, and this morning (Feb 09) I am down to 288.0, that from 314.0. I gave 13+ vials of blood February 07, and I am going to see the results the 12th. Your journey allowed me to gain an understanding of how, and why (classically the whatfo) of true weight loss! I can now exist knowing when I am loosing weight via that ketone flavor in my mouth, and keep a track using my keto mojo as you recommended, so… THANK-YOU!!
Thank you for your honesty. I have reached my highest weight ever and I have tried to lose weight too many times to count. I know that I am using food as a coping mechanism. Here is to fixing my mind and body!
The emotional part of weight loss is HUGE. We need to work through our emotions, all along.
