food is u're last problem "man" ...pls speak about brain and brain problems :) ok ? ty

I speak about what is on my mind. if you don't like, don't watch... and food is part of the problem so of course it's going to be included. It's insane to imply differently. Please get yourself educated.

who gave this video these poor ratings ? some people on you tube are really frustrating, I´m sorry about that, Johnny. I really like the series and someone who doesn´t like a video can go away. thanks for sharing your thoughts, they´re getting highly appreciated by many.

I have someone stalking me with multiple accounts. They are doing it to some of my friends and the collaboration as well. It's done in swarms of low rates right after one another. I got ratings before these videos could even fully play... within minutes of low rates and the videos are longer than that. It's immature. They need help. I love you, thank you.

It was so great of you to post this series. You have very useful suggestions and I'm sure everyone appreciates all the tools and tips. The holidays have gotten alot easier for me since I've been married,but I can relate to the struggle with food that the holiday season brings about. Thanks again :)

[MyOwnStickFigure]

Thank you love. Congrats on all the work you've done to improve your holidays. Ps. I still have to read your last PM, I got majorly backed up online this weekend - email and work wise. I will get to it shortly on Monday xoxoxo

Usually EVERY year I stuff myself and it ends up in bad feelings a purging..but NOT this year. It was soo amazing. I had enough to satisfy me ..and said..I'm done. I was SO proud of myself. ..and I'm glad other people feel the same way so thanks for the video =]

Great Vid,really helpful! Those 'free' foods really aren't free you end up paying the price for eating them either ways.

I like your idea of bringing something to social gatherings to eat that can be shared with everyone else. I don't want to feel excluded or that I am not making the effort to join in. The fresh air idea I will definitely use because it gets hot at parties and sometimes the noise levels get to me. Thank you for your help once more hun xxx

I'm so beyond terrified of the holidays. Every year I know what's coming and its always the same. I have to goto a family lunch on Thanksgiving. I'm so unbelievably scared. Thank you for this video.

[mehiali]

Thank you so much for this series! I've taken to heart many things that you've said and they will definitely help me through the next few months. I'm still scared as hell but at least now I feel a little more prepared.

Thank you for this, it is very helpful to me. This is going to be my first holiday season where I will be trying to eat normally in several years. There should be so much more than food about the holidays.
