[rory89]

this video Rocked!! and i swear this channel and urs is giving me the best advice and therapy ever!!! i love u!

[lovemusic1222]

gretchen, this video is truly amazing, thankyou so much for sharing...

[mindywolff]

YES!!! Thank you. I'm so glad you did this. It's so true. Women are told by the world what is acceptable and what isn't. When are we going to stop listening to the world, which is fickle, and start loving ourselves and trusting someone else to love US? Me? YOU? The woman you ARE? When? We need to just trust and allow ourselves to be loved. Someone once said that every woman has the relationship they want. It didn't make sense until I was honest enough to really think about that statement.

[alyssaluzzyou]

I didn't have internet for a week and I missed watching your guys' videos!

[AffairWthGravity]

Gretchen... You are such a big inspiration to me. I'm always so excited for Tuesdays, it's my learning about me day ;). Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You encouraged me to open up to ME. Finally! And i feel brilliant. So once again, thank you... you truly inspire me to be me.

[laur328]

I learn something from every one of your videos. Thank you. :)

[nicoleisthenewblack]

your videos are so inspirational and give me so much to think about, i actually consider myself a put together woman who loves herself. but you help me recognize and reconcile alot of things that i still need to work on. you are awesome!

[Littlearyn13]

I am carrying boys that i have had crushes on that humiliated me by telling there friends who told there friends. I am carrying anger and jealousy. And i think its time for them to get off.

[ClogUrHeartOut]

Amazing.

I was just thinking about all these things that I was carrying and i need to let them all go and I am. =}

[Kawaii19]

Oh my gosh... I really needed to see this vid. Thank you Gretchen :) I feel alot better than I was feeling earlier.

[doodlebugglove]

I know what it's like to test people. I've done it for years. For the longest time, I thought it was empowerment. It wasn't until recently that I realized it needed to stop. It was creating barriers between myself and people that I wanted to love.

Thank you for making this video. Truly appreciate you speaking your truth and sharing it with us. <3

[dingosatemypringles]

wow, what an amazing vlog =) I'm not of the female variety, but dang, a very inspiring video =)

[iamfirelust]

[jennycole2005]

[KuroiTsuki15]

You're the best, Gretchen. What an amazing video. I really needed to hear that from someone else.

[AJewelledGirl]

That was amazingly beautiful. I identify so much, and am actually sort of dealing with similar issues right now. Thanks for being a beautiful person (inside and out) and sharing yourself.

[Hurze]

Wow, you really manage to reach out to a person, you know? I loved this video, thanks Gretchen.

[MizzSunshineluv]

thanks for making me cry that hit home really hard. thank you. Maybe one day I will finally get over this and realize that I truly deserve better.

[shiannejessica]

Beautiful!

[MsCupcakes88]

wow, this hit home..everything u've said has really touched me, because ive also have challenged everyone it seems,including myself, to love me for me...& you do end up carrying so much, and until recently i decided to let it go...so thank you <3

[AshesxAndxWine]

I enjoy watching your videos. I always look forward to Tuesday. You always make me think.

[BarrysDaughter]

xxxJoolsxxx

[jamalee84]

u always speak such great words..and you totally touched me ..i started to cry..because i have been there..and am still there..thanks for the wonderful words

[ImEmWyllie]

<33

Removing all the men from our pasts is so hard. It's so difficult to put down. I know just what you mean when you say you're testing people, too.

You've made me look at all of the people I've carried.. for years. <3

[Samelevennn]

You are so unbelievably inspiring. THANK YOU for your videos.

[donaehillsmith]

This was a beautiful thing you just spoke about. It's like a quick therapy session, lol. I been single for years now because I been giving love and not getting it in return. I just recently have been able to let go of alot of issues and it really makes a difference in your life. I may still be single but I'm happy and that goes a long way. Thanks for that beautiful note.

[anything82]

I'm carrying other people in other ways. And in the same way you were. Recently, I just feel like a love deprived puppy in a way. I just, I want somebody who will love me eternally for me. Or just in general.

[lovemusic1222]

WOW... thats the second week in a row you've blown me away with your words...they hit right home- 'who are you carrying?' ahh this is so true and a bit of a revelation for me.... thankyou gretchen!!!!

[krysteenahkills]

I hope one day I can do what you have done Gretchen. You have no idea how much I relate to you every time you make a video.

[artofalexandra]

Oh..my...god. This video was PERFECT for me right now, thank you so much. By the way, you have a very soothing voice. I kind of feel sleepy now. lol

[Grrrstin]

love love love love love.

every day you change my life for the better.

[cherilyndria]

wow, i got goosebumps when you were talking about the priests, ive always felt that way too, i want to find someone to love me for how i am now, so i think it is that im scared to lose the weight, but maybe its not my size that turns the guys of, but they can sense the hatred that i have in myself, wow i gotta change that, but have no idea how to

[sopranocat]

I'm trying to find the words, but none will come, except: It's an honor to call you my friend.

[lilleeirin]

You're such an inspiration! Thank you!

[aaronyeljack]

great video! i started dating my now fiance at a rather thin stage in my life and have since put on weight. when i asked him how he felt about the weight gain and if it bothered him he said "as long as you're happy, i'm happy." and even though i wasn't happy about the weight gain, it stil made me feel wonderful knowing he thinks i'm beautiful no matter what. :)

[Frenchy0612]

You are just so amazing Gretchen.

You are giving me hope. What you are saying is just so beautiful. Thank you so much, really. :')

[deemered2]

do i detect a theme for today? LOL!

[debbieomi]

That was me in the beginning of my current relationship, too.

You are one of the wisest women I've had the honor of listening to. Thank you for sharing that wisdom.

This is great! I'm glad that you are so honest. =] Good job Gretchen!

[gabifresh]

gretchen, you have inspired me many, many times...but this is the first time your video has made me cry. thank you for this. i met a GREAT guy recently, who says he really likes me, and i dont believe that someone as wonderful as him will CONTINUE to like me. i am carrying things that i definitely need to get rid of.

[SAPHIREpinup]

thank you for this video, i'm 16 but, i'm always wondering how the hell can you love me but, the past couple of weeks i've realized that i'm worth it. <3

[designbyolia]

Tears. Once again Gretchen, you bring tears of realization to my eyes.

Thanks for that :)

[EM1LL1E]

You're so well spoken Gretchen. I'm so happy you're on this channel.<3

[mega777]

Gretchen, I love you so much!

I watch every one of your videos, I am only 17, but listening to you really helps me get through some things!

Your a GREAT person, and honestly I wish you were my mom or something.

:D

[iThrowUfetch]

;))

[CrystalDawn2507]

This is an amazing video and it hits home for lots of people of every size . I am a big girl and blame how I look for failed relationships but its the baggage from those physically and emotionally abusive relationships that puts guys off not me per say . This video helped me to see that and I apperciate you making this video so much its just what I needed to hear !

[Lillian0813]

Bravo Gretchen! xo

[crowsm54]
