How I lost my weight this far - Mental Battles explaining

[billygoat732]

girl i applaud you for your efforts. I started at 215lbs. I was big. now I am 178lbs and I still think i am big although people tell me Im not. I didnt know my weight years ago before my first child but I used to wear a size 6. And I think that is the reason why I still think Im big. I was actually a bit underweight. I had guys staring at me left and right, and that all stopped when I turned size 12. Then after my 2nd child I was size 16 (all us sizes by the way).

its hard at times when you feel like your giving up so many of the things you grown comfortable and use to but its so worth it when you see yourself growing more and more into the person you always want to be and seeing yourself grow more and more comfortable in your own skin finally this month i started to take back charge of my life and begin my weight loss and change my life around i know what your going through but keep your

[wowso4]

finally this month i started to take back charge of my life and begin my weight loss and change my life around i know what your going through but keep your head up and love yourself i know its hard i sometimes still get those stupid negtive voice at the back of my head telling me i will never make it and am not worth anyones love or attention but i brush it off quickly so it doesnt get to me and i go to gym every single day

[wowso4]

Your such a Beautiful person inside and outside i really understand where your coming from i been struggling with my weight for a long time myself it kinda started when i was in the 9 or 8 grade in high school i was always pretty physical use to do alot of sports and out door activities but the weight slowing starting creeping in i really didnt notice it at the beginning but surely i noticed and i went from being very out going to shy and having low confidence

[lewiesgirl94]

how did u lose the weight? Like what did you do? cause I would LOVE to lose weight!

[nurahsplaylists]

Wow. I can really understand when you said you still think you're big even though you lost weight. I feel the exact same way when I look in the mirror. All I see is flaws, even though my family all say I lost so much weight. I know I still need to lose more because more than anything I want to be healthy and I know I'm not at a healthy weight. Ultimately, I appreciate you posting this. I was dragging my feet about working out today, you gave me that motivation. Thanks!

[keilaamazing]

Wow! Your amazing !! You made me cry! And your more beautiful than you think! :) and keep going! I'm sure your goal is near

[smrobertson1979]

[tormenta91303]

[Bayamesa89]

Thanks for the great tip about the sticky's , you seem very genuine, and I bet its hard to do it alone, *hugs* to you for keeping at it. I'm just starting on my weightloss journey and hopefully I'll see a difference in a few months.

[Bbugzzy]

[mariahchelsey123]

You have never had a bf? That makes no sense because it seems to me that you have an awesome personality and you are very pretty. :D

[lavendersteph]

[MarklarRavencrest]

you are absolutely 100% correct

[dkmaple387]

You're beautiful! And you've come up with some very helpful insight. But, please, please STOP brushing your hair out of your eyes every few seconds! It's very distracting.

[Tishy205]

@dkmaple387 lol As you can tell... its very much in my face and distracting to me too! lol

[jacqueline1615]

[spazzardj]

[godwin40]

[eastdallasreyna]

i love this video!!!i can watch it over and over again:)..lol

[FlawlessEbonyChicka]

i just watched your video and i got so emotional, i can relate to you in so many ways! i know what it's like. I've been trying to do this too and i did lose 35lbs but i lost the goal and i let myself put even more back on. But i promised myself that starting tomarrow i'm going to get back on track!

i just want to tell you that your doing so well!

awesome video

=)

[OliveGirlNY]

everything you said in this video is true. after losing over 60lbs my mind has a hard time registering the physical differences to this day. its not until i look back at my old pictures that i say: "whoa!" losing weight is a mental challenge and the struggle doesn't stop even after you've lost. you are not alone! Oh, and I like the idea to use reminders, i'd like to use that tip in some way.

[michelleinhk]

omggggg you are soooo lovely!!!!! seriously how much sweeter and lovely could a person be

[christentze]

you are a very beautiful person. i myself am going through the same journey as you are and i needed this inspiration. i started out strong but my desire is waning so im having a hard time right now. this is exactly what a i needed.

you could not lose another pound and im positive that the good guys would come flocking. why? because you have such a gorgeous internal personality...and you are hella gorgeous on the outside, too. i can see that beauty isn't just skin deep on you.

[1YellowStiLetto]

you are too cute and inspirational.. you remind me of vanessa hudgens. very cute! :)

[ruthere85]

my height is 5'4 and my weight is 140 pounds and i want to lose 40 pounds but its hard to lose weight

[divinesunrise27]

I miss your vids! where are you hun? I hope everything is going good !

[MakiLama]

Thank you so much for all your tips. You are truly an inspiration. Keep up the good work!

[fromthick2thin]

[AlexSAuch]

[Nicsaprincess]

Weight Loss is 90% Mental.

And only 10% Everything else, Discovering this is Fundamental in my 90Pound weight loss.:)

[tavibabi22]

OMG i know it doesnt matter coming from me but you look so hot at 174 i cant wait til im there and thanks for the tips about the sticky pads

[babygirl4227]

hey girl you look so good , keep up the good work you have came along way . By any chance is there away i can talk to you about my weight i would love to be at the weight you are now . do you have aim or a myspace

[LC88Chavez]

P.S. I love what you said about how "you have to want to lose weight as much as you want to eat that chocolate bar" It's so true!!

[LC88Chavez]

OMG! I love this video. the sticky notes are awesome ideas!!!

[dayzbehard]

You are very beautiful, and yes our minds play these games on us. I think that you have to just look at yourself in the mirror 30 min a day and just say I love you! try it every day and you know what you will see this same beautiful person I see. I been there too. Also, at the end of each day say aloud three good things that happen that day. This will help you become a positive mind. I love your motivation. I know it gets hard and I am glad you are honest that is the first step to the new you.

[Jifcrunch79]

Right on, that is the most difficult part.

And I can relate on a lot of things you listed.

I'm very surprised you never had a boyfriend or your first kiss. I've seen lots of girls twice your size with boyfriends, and not nearly as pretty as you...I think it's a matter of self confidence and making yourself open...he'll come along don't worry.

You have an amazing attitude keep it up, you ARE going to succeed!

[liplylips]

I love you!

This is so helpful. :')

For me and my mental battles

[Manny0219]

Well said Tishy, well said.

[fattycakestv]

i love this girl! tishy you are so wonderful! i looove the idea about the note on your cell phone about drinking water. i have to steal that from you! you are doing such a great job and your attitude is amazing! ~cakes

[queenbbeee]

right on..i agree w/ what u are saying...i have been dealing w the self esteem thing for years, and i feel like losing weight will make all my problems go away, but it wont, and the sticky note affirmations r great...thanks sweetie!!! kepp up the great work...

[sw29366]

You are so right, you have to remeber that returning to where you were is worse than going to where you are going, although it is the easier road.

[halfbakedlaska]

Great video! If you can keep this mind set now Tish it will keep you from years of suffering and struggling with weight, food and low self-esteem!

Good work!

[curvymary]

Hi Tishy,

Thanks for entering the contest. I love the sticky notes in your wallet and on your debit card. Great response! A lot of what you said will ring true for many of us trying to lose weight.
