  I didn't know you had been a binge eater. I think many of us use food as an emotional tool to cope with stress or being tired. Your videos have helped me to see that I'm not alone and that these types of issues CAN be examined, discussed and even stopped when we learn to recognize our triggers and have healthy things available to eat to take care of ourselves. We Rescue Ourselves! Food is for nourishment not just pleasure or entertainment or distraction. I used to be an all or nothing girl. Get this, this past week, my son bought eclairs-which are my favorite. I had an eclair for lunch along with some protein one day. I stayed within my calorie range. Later that week, my brother-in-law bought us hoagies for lunch. I kept within my calorie range that day as well. I didn't think I would take any weight off this week because of those  carb-rich foods. I got on the scale and I was 2.2 lbs down! That may not sound like much to a lot of people, but for me, it was a lot especially after eating those types of foods that week. The key is CONSISTENCY. YOU, my dear girl, have shown me that it's possible to enjoy foods that aren't traditionally diet food in moderation and still get good results. It's taking me forever, but I'm sustainably dropping weight. 14 pounds dropped so far and many more to go. This tortoise is sticking with it! Also: We were driving around in a nearby city and saw a WW Studio with your poster front and center! I said, "Oh look!, there's Nikki!" You're WW famous.

  Thank you for sharing your journey! I’ve been overweight since after high school topping at 375 back in 2004 , doctor told me I was going to die if I didn’t lose the weight she recommended the south beach diet of which I sort of followed losing 102 pounds in 10 months and enjoyed my niece’s wedding then the following years a cruise to see my son perform on a ship to  beautiful Bermuda. Returned to gain some back and struggling to lose what I gained and the rest. I’m now 70 and on a glp. I thank you again and I’m glad you’re doing this while you’re young. ❤️❤️❤️

  Just an FYI for you and subscribers.  Dollar Tree has the Sparkling Ice Lifesaver drinks and also Drizzilicious mini rice cakes. I found the Smores, cinnamon swirl and the Brownie flavors. They are 2.125 oz packs for $1.25.

  Thank you for being so real in your videos. I need to let go of my all or nothing mindset. That&apos;s how I&apos;ve been thinking and that&apos;s caused me to get to my heaviest weight. Im wanting to start my journey. I need to just start. No more perfectionism

  I also had &nbsp;the all or none diet mentality. I’ve lost 80 pounds (still want to lose another 25 pounds) on a GLP1 but I also made better decisions about diet and exercise. I learned good habits when I was on WW. &nbsp;I am learning to enjoy foods I like while still being mindful. Your channel has also been an inspiration for me.<br>Recoding my weight weekly helps me to be accountable. I came back from a two week European vacation with an extra six pounds. I got back on track and lost it. In the past I would fear the number on the scale so I wouldn’t weigh myself and I would continue to gain more weight.

  The shame is real... It leads to isolating yourself. It&apos;s an embarrassing thing, people always immediately assume you&apos;re a lazy person. Sometimes it feels like you get judged more harshly. A mustard stain on your T-shirt turns into a target.<br>Thanks for sharing!

  Great video. It&apos;s very inspiring and something to think about. Also, could you do more fast food at home videos because I hate fast food since it isn&apos;t fast, or food, or cheap, but I remember how it used to be.
