My father would ask me when I was crushing on someone.."can you accept them as is? Or do you need to fix them?" Then I knew if I truly loved them or not. A lot of women go into a relationship thinking that their love will change him. This is hurtful.
Hi Tonya, Im a 27 year old female, I just started watching your videos this week, and you are so straightforward and insightful...your videos are very helpful :)
It's only a bandaid for a bullet wound if that's the only way we deal with the hurt someone else left behind. Everything you said is on point but we still have to confront that hurt, pain, negative self talk and where it came from and why we believe it before we try to add positive selftalk on top of it. I ended up with control issues that I did not realize I had. I went to take all of that outer self down and it left me unbelievably sensitive for a few years. You can't run from it. :)
The only thing about the costume is that we still need to deal with and confront those issues before/during this "pumping up" of the self phase. I say this from experience. While my outer self wasn't about glamor, beauty, and flash, it was a natural defense mechanism to a rough childhood. People hate, but it works. Once I saw the bad and undesirable traits in there as I got older I had to take it all down to deal with ME. So what you're saying about the "costume" or adopted attitude is true but
absolutely pathetic! if this is how someone naturally behaves to show confidence then god help us... all this my hair is fabulous my lips are fabulous yadda yadda so what...act normal and convey the message, people making videos as if they can help any normal person out there when really the video is about ego and self..ridiculous self gratifying BULLSHIT!! confidence my eye, more like pompous!!! anyone taking advice from this drama queen is an asshole!

@iamtehshay check with your local or a hood family Y they may have affordable personal trainers mine is $40 a week. Im 257 and 5'6 and my personal trainier really helps me and it also helps that hes cute and flirts with me :)
If that person thought you had paws for 8 1/2 feet then they should have seen my size 10's. lol I haven't had anyone talk about my feet because I usually let it known that my feet are big and they wouldn't like it up their ass. Good video. :)
I am learning so much from your videos and I do plan on getting the book you mentioned The Art of Seduction. Thank you. Glad I stumbled upon your channel. Peace and Blessings.
i agree whith you but most black men dont the second we check they ass they want to say we got attitudes or ghetto.... but hey who cares....... keep preaching sister.
I agreed 100% on everything u had 2 say in the video! I try 2 tell my friends the same thing when they call & complain about their boyfriends- they get upset because I tell them politely that I don't have time to hear about the drama! LADIES U SET THE PRECEDENT FOR HOW U R 2 B TREATED! stop whining bout how ur man don't treat u right, cheated, etc. REMEMBER A PERSON CAN ONLY DO 2 YOU WHAT YOU ALLOW THEM! as soon as any1 acts up put them in their place. If they carry on the same get rid of them~!
1.Tonya, you are a lover of love. Bless your heart.
2. The sad truth here is if he was devoted to her exclusively, talked to her exclusively, looked at her at exclusively, there would be no challnage for her and she would look at other men, talk to other men and flirt with other men. It's not right, but it's human nature. It's just the way it is.
Hey Tonya, I'm following you on everything girl...& your wesite is in my Top5Fav on my laptop &desktop @ work. Wow, (I'm pressed). Anyways, follow me on twitter miss lady. @MsPurpBabay. Got that "costume" long time ago!
Work it girl!!!! You are the "chick" to be reckoned with. Tell it; you (women) must let the "DIVA" out sometimes. That's my song. Hey, love your use of the English language. You bring it to life and make ppl take notice of your intellect. I keep my dictionary at my side all of the time. There aren't many ppl who can express themselves well. So, I appreciate you for not hiding your "wealth" of knowledge. I love being over 30. It feels good to be in the "know".
what do you use to die your hair??? I always thought it was bad for your hair to die your hair; but I never really knew for sure; but I like alot how your scarf matches your hair exactly.
Dying is VERY bad for your hair and making it lighter is the WORST. But Im glad that I only have an inch of hair otherwise I definitely wouldnt risk it. I condition it almost daily though.... And thank you. I'm glad you like the color.
I love you Tonya, you have made me feel more confident in myself. When I was in High School loads of people use to tell me how flat chested I am, it hurt and it has made me so self concious. My breasts haven't grown anymore and I am now in college, one day my breasts will be huge and they will see lol.
Until then I will be confident in myself because I cannot change who I am, and no way am I having a boob job!
Let me tell you sometin Eyo, ppl will NEVER be happy, so you have to leave it up to yourself to find your own happiness bcz first ppl will make fun of you bcz you have no breast, then when they burst out of your body and your cleavage is flying free they will tell you to cover it up bcz its 'indecent'... so BUMP what the people say
I love your hair man ! It looks like gold chains on yo head. Dont worry about your weight you so much more beautiful inside than most skinny girls ive met .Keep up the good work !!
I always wonder what does that make him since he is with her. He is constantly putting her down..there is a way to encourage a healthy lifestyle..emotional abuse once he starts put a stop to it he is testing you to see what you will put up with, whether you are skinny of fat he would find something to crush your self esteem.
If he don't like it to the door you can do bad all by yourself. Love yourself work on yourself so these jokers are not even on your radar!!!
your face can be slim and still be alive...there is a median between fat and too skinny yanno.......... its called healthy...you should encourage people to be healthy not be okay being obese :|
you made really great points on this video. its crazy how a person can just bring you down if you let them. i have been through a few situations like that and finally let the person go. i have so many days where i have to fake it til i make it. it's hard sometimes but works. Great advice!
thank you so much Ms. TonyaTKO... I really thought this was amazing, since I do have low self-esteem. I love myself, but I had issues, I wore a custome and I felt good when I did, but after I took that mask off, it was different, but after hearing the same from you, I feel so great thanks sooo much...
Is that letter from my friend Paulette? Tell her to call me. I knew that MF was no good! She cut off her friendship with me for him. When you have to drop your friends you know he crazy. Like you said, love does not hurt.
Great video! But I depise TRANSFORMER"S! They are usually fake and pretentious. If you were a LAME in NYC, You are a LAME whereever you go. Usually there LAMENESS it will prevail in due time.
Actually Bronz, the corny person - turned BigStuffOnCampus went off to work for a BIG Record label last time I saw them they were in a multi-national music video and now they are in some pretty tight entertainment cliques rolling with many of the people you see on TV... so yah you can fake it till you make it, and sooner or later where "You" end and your persona begins can become One... and no one can tell you two apart.
This remind me of something , when I was younger I had 2 friends who keep criticizing how I look ..and in the same time they think they are unbelievably beautiful =( that realllllllyyyyyy effected me in so many ways. then i disappeared from their lives , and make new friends who are supportive..that changed me to the better.
TELL EM TONYA! My ex-husband didnt appreciate me and still tried to talk crap about me gaining weight after i had more kids. I told him "I must not look that bad cuz men are still graveling at my feet just to be in my presence & im not trying to look good for you anyway." He didnt have anything else to say...lol. My new hubby luvs me just the way i am and never says anything about my weight or anything neg period. He tells me im beautiful everyday & as long as im healthy thats all that matters.
I am with someone who has painted someone into a corner and I know this relationship will most likely not work. It is just for this season and I know that within the weeks to come I will be moving on... you words in this video are gospel - thanks TTKO :-)
I have to say that sometimes people do need construtive criticism. Some people are better at taking it than others. But, the person giving the criticism should do so out of care & the kindness of their heart and for sincere concern for whatever the other person could be going through. I know people that should lose weight, but I only believe so because they tell me THEY want to lose it themselves or if it's obesity & unhealthy. No one should take negative criticism, because no one is perfect.
ohhh jesus when you said codepends or depends can hurt and you aint lying 14 yrs now of codependency im getting help for in therapy and its a bitoch let me tellu and lots of women have it and it keeps us bound in chains and were theonly ones to break it. When your young and feel helpless n family makes u feel alone too its hard. Im just now trying to recover a lifelong of childhood repressed things but I hope she gets overhim cuz thats no love.
grl I gotta tell ya now I wokeup this mrning with the same tired ass man lol and im online and ive been subed to u for awhle now and just watched u this morning and i have to tell u what a inspiration this was to me!! I really am feelin what your saying I do have confident issues being overweight but you just gave mea pop of cheer for today so im gonna start watchin yur vids like i should have from the start lol so tak care today have a great weekend~
Great video! The bottom line is NOBODY can do anything to you that YOU don't ALLOW them to. Nobody can make you feel bad about yourself or less than or mistreat you if YOU don't ALLOW that behavior. It all boils down to SELF ESTEEM and believing and KNOWING that you deserve BETTER.
This has nothing to do with the topic ;but I know you were trying to get back to a size that you were before you had gotten sick; but I saw some of your picks and I think you are so much more gorgeous now because you have a fuller look in your face and a confidence no one can match I haven't seen anyone else like it.
There are people in my life who are always bring me down everywhere I look there maybe a differrent face doing it but they all act the same eventually like sheeps who can't think for themselves...Well next time someone try to mentally abuse me I'm going to have a WWBD moment and say "this is why I love myself regardless".
My WWBD moment: I had just come home from 6 months in Japan and stopped by my old job to say hi to my boss. She greeted me by saying "Oh hey, wow did you put on some weight while you were gone?" and I told her "yes honey, and every pound is a FABULOUS memory. Have you done anything fun in 6 months?" Priceless. :) I really liked this video btw.
It's all about how YOU feel if you feel comfortable (and by YOU I mean the plural you) being heavier then that should translate to whoever you are trying to attract. If you don't feel comfortable then you have to get to that place. I'm glad you are confident in all your skins Miss Tonya, thanks for the pep talk.
What if a guy hasn't seen you in awhile and says you put on a little weight? I need an objective opinion. I was sick, so it was true, is he worth it? He's a great man!
but sometimes people know those who put out being overly confident are just masking thier underlying insecurities. so, I'm not sure if this tactic is absolutely effective.
Love you tonya you are like my auntie I really love ur long videos its better then this mindless tv lately I love you omg you have so much to say I will be telling and have been telling alot of people to watch u also muahz "pop pop"
not if you find the right one, there is no such thing as life without stress.Life is about the obstacles and stresses that you endure. Rememer men are not accessoires nor or they irrelevant. don't forget that god made you from a man's rib. your life doesn't have to be about stress. it is what you make of it
u are so amazine. you have changed my life for the better... alot of men/boys think i am a total bitch now that i have changed and have got respect for myself but its not that,they just dont like it.. im a strong independent woman and i dont need men like that holding me me... i have a costume what makes me feel a million dollas and its just doin my make and hair and when im feeling really low i just go have a facial or beauty treatment and it sparks me up and makes me feel great again!....
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Beyonce?? umm let's come up with a better example that chick is wacked! Howbout Halle.. Umm naw, Naomi...nooo BAMM Zoe Saldana, Sally Richardson shoot, c'mon Beyonce can't figure out who she is at the moment, let's leave that mess of a woman alone!
you are so like a big sister tonya. i mite be ordering some shea butter soon as well. she shouldnt let him talk to her like that. if he is saying things like that then he really isnt the right one for her. i wish her the best and hope she finds her true love soon :)
I've been told "You look good thick but I bet if you lost weight you'd look that much better." before as well. I never thought of it as disrespect. I just figured small or not, I'm still pullin 'em lol.

I have to say that sometimes people do need construtive criticism. Some people are better at taking it than others. But, the person giving the criticism should do so out of care & the kindness of their heart and for sincere concern for whatever the other person could be going through. I know people that should lose weight, but I only believe so because they tell me THEY want to lose it themselves or if it's obesity & unhealthy. No one should take negative criticism, because no one is perfect.

Why is it that you are always there to say things I need to hear right when I need to hear it?

Great video! The bottom line is NOBODY can do anything to you that YOU don't ALLOW them to. Nobody can make you feel bad about yourself or less than or mistreat you if YOU don't ALLOW that behavior. It all boils down to SELF ESTEEM and believing and KNOWING that you deserve BETTER.

This has nothing to do with the topic ;but I know you were trying to get back to a size that you were before you had gotten sick; but I saw some of your picks and I think you are so much more gorgeous now because you have a fuller look in your face and a confidence no one can match I haven't seen anyone else like it.

My WWBD moment: I had just come home from 6 months in Japan and stopped by my old job to say hi to my boss. She greeted me by saying "Oh hey, wow did you put on some weight while you were gone?" and I told her "yes honey, and every pound is a FABULOUS memory. Have you done anything fun in 6 months?" Priceless. :) I really liked this video btw.

It's all about how YOU feel if you feel comfortable (and by YOU I mean the plural you) being heavier then that should translate to whoever you are trying to attract. If you don't feel comfortable then you have to get to that place. I'm glad you are confident in all your skins Miss Tonya, thanks for the pep talk.

What if a guy hasn't seen you in awhile and says you put on a little weight? I need an objective opinion. I was sick, so it was true, is he worth it? He's a great man!
neobrown81 2 years ago
but sometimes people know those who put out being overly confident are just masking thier underlying insecurities. so, I'm not sure if this tactic is absolutely effective.

You're right. I realized when I got into a beauty comfort zone that I became more humbled and less "tryna act confident".

not if you find the right one, there is no such thing as life without stress.Life is about the obstacles and stresses that you endure. Rememer men are not accessoires nor or they irrelevant. don't forget that god made you from a man's rib. your life doesn't have to be about stress. it is what you make of it

I've been told "You look good thick but I bet if you lost weight you'd look that much better." before as well. I never thought of it as disrespect. I just figured small or not, I'm still pullin 'em lol.
Again, you're always encouraging.
