But it seems like she struggles to function with the most basic daily tasks and that’s without having commitments outside RUclips. How would she ever be able to hold a job?

The small plate really does make you psychologically fuller. I've learnt that during my period of disordered eating (binge and purge, i'm not sure if it was a full blown ED like bulimia, because I got out of it on my own.)
Jesus is the way the truth and the life. No one can go to the Father except through him.❤️ Knowing Jesus is knowing peace, protection and provision ❤️ Jesus saves, Jesus heals and Jesus grants peace
I appreciate you being honest, I also struggle with being disciplined in the day to day. I just try to make tasks small so I don't feel overwhelmed, you got this girl 💜
I see like in a mirror those behaviors and even thoughts that you can't explain. I managed to lose around 25kgs controlling my disorder, but almost 30 years later I can say this will go with you to the grave. We can only manage to live the healthiest we can (specially mentally). I wish you the best Tammy ❤️
I'm sorry you have had a hard time lately. I love your new spring background, it make me smile when the video started. Looking forward to more walking videos, your area seems super pretty
Tammy, I miss you and I’m thankful that I’m able to watch your old videos… It is helping me so much that you were so honest and open and share this. You are not alone, I’m with you in this eating disorder chaos… and it helps to not feel like an alien… to know that I’m not alone. So thank you! And I hope you are ok at least.
I can relate to how you describe your thoughts when you are wanting to binge, restrict, or walk. How it is compulsory, etc. Have you tried mindfulness? In therapy I learned about this, and it helps me manage bad thought patterns I have. The idea is that you first try to feel present and grounded in your body, and then your mind and thoughts become more calm and slow down. This works better than just trying to calm my mind. I can scream at myself “stop thinking that!” but it doesn’t help. With mindfulness, I calm my body first, and that helps my mind. There are apps with 5-10 min guided mindfulness exercises. I always start by feeling my feet on the floor - the ground is steady and I am rooted to it. Then I feel the air in my lungs - cool when I breath in, and hot as I exhale. You can also do mindfulness walks, where you just soak in all the surroundings to be present. What do you smell? How does it feel when your shoe hits the ground? What colors do you see? Do hear birds or a highway in the distance? After I am present and calm in my body, my thoughts slow and I am usually more rational. Instead of reacting on autopilot to my dark thoughts, I can interrupt the pattern. My mind has calmed so I can think through options, remember tips from therapy, and I have more power to decide how to respond, instead of giving in. It took me a few weeks of daily mindfulness to get the hang of it. But it really really helps me. I definitely thought it was a little bit… woo woo silly. Like, how will thinking about my breathing help my thoughts? But it works! Sending love. Take care of you! Ps. The intro is so great!!!
I hope other people read your response to her video. I think a lot of people would benefit if they have open hearts and minds to looking at the world in a sideway ways. The trouble occurs when your think you can rationalize a disordered mindset, guilt will not help. ❤
Something you need to work on Tammy (speaking from an outsiders point of view, who is also plus size & struggles with disordered eating & restricting), is starting a new day & clearing the slate. It won’t be an easy journey by any stretch of the imagination, but by continuing on each day & essentially b3ating yourself up, you can’t possibly break the cycle & it will never end. Have you explored with your therapist when / why / where your ED first began? That’s also really important. ED’s always have a trigger point. I did a bit of soul searching in 2021, & I tried to think back to when mine all began & there was 2 rather big reasons. Although I haven’t got a therapist at the moment, knowing where it started helped. Break things down, don’t try to do too much at one, don’t try to tackle everything all at the same time because you’ll become very stressed & overwhelmed, which will likely lead to a binge as you’ll feel like a ‘failure’ (which you most certainly aren’t) if you don’t reach set goals / ‘fix’ things. One step at a time. Think of it as unravelling a big tangled ball of wool. As much as I know you face criticism in the comments who can’t comprehend eating disorders, know there are twice as many people who understand the daily struggles you’re going through. It isn’t about babying you, it’s about empathising & supporting your in your journey. There’s no quick fix to ED’s, sadly, but you can & will do this. x
So sorry that you're going through so much struggle with food. I didn't know any people who are going through something like that before. I just kind of thought that 'bigger' people just don't have enough willpower and love to eat a lot. But it is so much more difficult and complex. It is great that you are educating and talking about these problems.
So, what happened to the pre-made meals for after binging that you were going on and on about? They didn't seem to make an appearance... You said you were happy at one point but I don't think that was the right word. To me, you still seemed insane. I think the multiple events with friends, family, birthdays, etc are more the issue this time and not the extra walks....
Exercise definitely increases my appetite. Not so bad with light walking, but cardio, weights or really long walks make me really hungry. The chicken wraps look tasty
Hey everyone that’s reading this, I actually started today on a no sugar diet, I want to document my story just like Tammy, should I do it? Btw love you Tammy you are super strong and will get through everything 🥰
Added sugar is unhealthy, speaking from a family who has multiple people with colon cancer. It’s interesting when you look at a lot of food that has added sugar that you wouldn’t expect to see. If you feel mentally strong to share your journey I would watch and cheer you along the way.
IF you feel that it would make you more accountable, motivated and keep you on track, then yes! I would recommend TikTok because it's easy to create and upload stuff (not hours of editing.) IF it feels like it would add stress, make you feel bad about reading mean comments or people judging you or you want to document it for other peoples benefit.... then DON'T do it.
Tammy I do same thing. If my calories are over for the day I have to burn them off or eat less during next few days. But mine is so ongoing that I’m about 30,000 over since beginning of year! I’m trying to not restrict anymore since I only end up bingeing again. It’s all a mind game. And I’m losing the game 😢. But I gotta keep positive since I originally lost 90 lbs six years ago then gained back only 30. Still an accomplishment 😊. Thank you for continually sharing your journey with us ❤🍋😻
Tammy, you need to love yourself and this is something I struggle with also. I have not seen you have Ben & Jerry over in a long time. This is what we weight watchers call a NSV(non scale victory). They are just as important as loosing weight. We all need to practice self compassion. I think you are doing great. Take credit girl you got this.
Tammy I have another idea for you! Instead of getting focused on calories because of a binge and then trying to restrict calories afterwards… Why don’t you think of it like this: A binge is a nutritional ZERO. 🍽 Like you said in this video, it’s all sugar and fats! So the way to cancel the binge is NOT to starve or restrict, but to get all the Nutritional Points back you lost with the binge. 💛 So give yourself 1 point for every balanced meal you eat and every portion of a different fruit and vegetable you have each day following a binge. 🥗🥙🍲🍱 Your goal should be: 3 balanced meal points + 5 minimum veg/fruit points. Your ultimate daily goal should be 10 total points every day and each day after every binge. And remember! Binges count as ZERO. Starving and restricting will never get you to 10! Your goal is to make 10 points everyday. Tammy you deserve to be 10/10! 🏆💐🌟 Please try this! 💛 And when you are stronger and 10/10, do your best to quit added sugar. Your body will go through a tough adjustment phase (or sugar withdrawal over several weeks) but you can do it! You are worth it Tammy! You are smart, you are creative, you are strong. You can do it! 💫 And you will feel so much better about everything! ✨💛🍋🌿
Tbh I don't get why restricting os not ok after bing. Someone who has normal relationships with food would probably aet less after Christmas or a Birthday. Just naturally eating less or skipping meals due to luck of appetite.
Because if you restrict too heavily then you become abnormally hungry again and increase the likelihood of losing control when you start eating again and having another binge, and the cycle continues. Also, the restricting is as debilitating as the binging because the obsession around numbers and calories is so mentally draining and you feel light headed and headachey from not eating enough, regardless of how much you ate the day before.
Hi Tammy, I support you all the way, and I think you are brave to share your story on RUclips. I was wondering how you calculate the calories you burn by things like walking. 560 kcal sounds like a lot for an hour of walking. I am definitely no expert, but I have been infused with the idea that there is no way to out train a bad diet. And well... I guese just wanted to warn you or something. My fitbit lies to me all the time. I currently maintain my weight at about 1800-2000 kcal per day, but my fitbit tells me I am burning like 2500 every day. Just be careful🙂 Zet hem op!!!
@@danibaie Is she almost 500 pounds? I thought less. I figure it might be hard to do moderately paced walking for an hour straight at that weight though.
I was wondering the same thing, I work as a mail carrier and walk 16.000-20.000 steps every day and I can't imagine I burn more than maybe 400-500 calories through that (I don't count calories, but based on what I aproximately consume during the day and my weight), and even with her weight I don't think it's that much. Estimating your burned calorie too high can make all the difference, so I would be very careful with that
Tammy i follow your journey and i See you but it is obv that you can not overcome your disorder yourself you need professionell help so get hospitalized and try to get better it is an addiction and you need help you cant Do it alone
your issue IMO is a BLOOD SUGAR one which is creating the binge cycle. if you were on metformin or ozempic and took your blood glucose with an at home monitor you would see your blood sugar. i am northern european too and we are all prone to having sugar issues.
Hey Tammy!! Just wanted to let you know that I adore your new intro with all kitties. It's brilliant! You're doing such a great job with your content and your editing. Love from Spain!
Tammy, you should consider that maybe you eat too little in general. You try to stick to 1800-2000 calories and I think it's quite a large deficit for you, isn't it? Maybe it pushes you to binge.
Agree! generally Tammy's meals are quite small, she might need to eat a little more and it might help lessen the risk of binging. Like for example her lunch is usually a sandwich, it's not enough, but if she added in a pot of yogurt, some nuts and a piece for fruit it might curb the risk of binging.
Same thing kinda happened to me with excessive calorie burning, but I think it was more in my head. I rely on exercise for stress relief, but I as I planned groceries for restriction, I also made the mistake of catastrophizing it into ‘I’m burning too many calories, food is running out’! Today was a good day, however, I made time to do some light activity. I did ruminate on how I would do it while multitasking (which is something else that brings me joy, since I am in my goal range) on games and youtube, but really once I started doing my work (and setup of my environment instead of just mindless dreaming about it) on my laptop, the urge to take that the device (my entire bag) with me(to avoid the cluttered house) disappeared, and my plan fell into place. That’s my day of indulging (I think responsibly, as I’m still ready to go home and get another round of studying done) in my compulsions minimally productively. Rant over. I find that It helps the all or nothing mindset to think that as soon as you start, and no matter how lightly/casually/slowly you start, the binary is towards positive progress. I recently binged pretty badly too, but more importantly (to me) created a lot of messes/hazards in the process, but I find peace in the practice of calmly fixing everything again. The negative side of it latches on to that thinking, but if it helps to let a few things go, your mental health is not negative to your goals, even if it requires you to go in the opposite direction for a bit. The strategy just needs some execution to form, even seemingly small actions are a binary positive in the area of your overall well-being.

Don't beat yourself up, it's OK to make mistakes as long as you learn from them, what you do! By the way - you did prepare those ABMs (after binge meals) to have something healthy to eat after a binge a few videos ago, so you won't restrict...Didn't that work out for you? Wish you al the best - you got this!! You can do hard things! ❤️
I tried eating one of those ABMs but I kept telling myself... this binge is different, this one wasn't a real one. But it was. 🙄 So I'll have to think about how to ignore that inner voice because I didn't make those ABMs for nothing. I know they'll work. I think I have to get used to the walking, eating more since I go for these walks and using those ABMs without making excuses.
Tammy, thank you for sharing, I occasionally have a bench too. Then I feel so guilty but I just keep going forward and keep trying. For me personally, I love the cat in the background I know they’re making a mess of your pretties, but you don’t have to apologize for them. They’re awesome just like you.
I love the cats❤ I don’t feel like I truly binge, but I over eat and then I restrict. I think even naturally thin people do that with out even thinking about it.
I recently started reverse dieting, 3 years ago I weighed 280 pounds, I currently weigh 125 pounds which is my goal weight, for the first year and a half I ate 1000 calories a day, when I hit 145 I increased to 1250, currently I am eating 1300 calories slowly increasing the calories so I don't lose anymore, but I never want to be overweight or obese again, I can't even imagine eating 7500 calories in one day, that is so much food, I would be in pain if I tried to eat that much. Tammy I know you can do this, just count your calories and weigh your food, if I can do it anyone can, and I am an old lady, I will be 65 in July
It's real life if you binge, just get back on your healthy eating, start with drinking water.. To hold your self accountable weigh yourself 1 once a week
Tammy you are amazing, thanks for your honesty. Love the new intro! Just a small constructive criticism, I know you are recording in several days or at different times and want to be polite, but could you just greet us only once during each video with "Hello Lemfam"? It sounds quite annoying to hear it several times during the video and doesn't add much to the content, esp.if some viewers only listen to the videos while doing things around the house etc. :) Maybe change it to different way of greeting after 1st time using it at the beginning. Thanks a lot for consideration of this suggestion.
I agree but wasn't quite sure how to bring it up in a polite way. It's not bothering me on its own, but by the amount of times used it starts to. Thank you 🙏
@@annebethkuijs9442 Thank you very much for your support. I wasn't quite sure either as I know she means it well. Maybe it's the intonation too, not sure. But I love her ☺🙌
It seems if you are going to see the calories you burn through walking, as calories that you now need to "replace" then you are defeating the reason for the exercise. The calories burnt is work well done, not calories to put back into the "pot". I you do that then why do the walking? I can see that it all loops back into your need to track those numbers, and the OCD part of your struggle, but it will soon become another "rule" and add to the cycle for you.
Please keep exercising . Turn your scales off go outside and hug a tree so much power nature wants us to absorb please listen to chakira transformations
I think you should see you restricting as a comfort blanket for your BED. No you don't want to do either, but knowing you have comfort in restricting in case you binge to "undo" the damage of binging is why you go back to it. I think you should work on letting go of that comfort and sit in the discomfort from binging, maybe that will push you to not binge anymore or not nearly as often because then you don't have your go to to rely on anymore, you'll have to instead rely on not binging so you don't have to sit with the discomfort of the aftermath of it.
A routine will help you a lot. Bed time and a strong alarm to wake you up in the morning. You know how to cook and meal prep. Why don’t you do that? The math is not mathing. You basically calculated your binges and now you are restricting so you will stay under you weekly calorie goal? I see so much potential in you. You need a new team of therapists and dieticians.
One of the things that helped me somehow is not feeling guilty about it (i dont have e.d. anymore and that doesnt mean that if that worked for me it will work for you). Its easier to say than done, but trying to compensates the overating episode with restricting or skipping meals or doing exercise (if you are not use to) isnt good because it triggers the anxiety and it worses the chances to binge again days after. And a good thing plan a "cheat meal" in the week (like on weekend), to satisfy what you want to eat that isnt healthy. eating more because you are exercising could be trouble to lose weight. Sometims i am afraid to be like explaining things like things are easy, they arent. I hope you try a way to make things better.
Dear Tammy, have you ever tried chromium picolinate? It helps so much with cravings! I have an BED that's triggered by my mental state. I started this thing, and haven't had binges for almost entire month! (It's a huge accomplishment for someone who used to binge every other day). Ask your dietician about chromium.
Hey, super dapper dat je dit deelt. Recovery is not linear! Ik hoop dat het al wat beter gaat met jou. Hoe ga je om met de buikpijn en misselijkheid door een eetbui? Ik worstel er altijd mee en ik voel me walgelijk daardoor. Ik heb 4 jaar lang een erge restrictieve eetstoornis gehad en since ik geen ondergewicht meer heb en op mijn zwaarste ooit ben, heb ik last van eetbuien. Ik vind het zo jammer dat er verwacht wordt dat je volledig hersteld bent, als je een 'gezond' gewicht bent...😢
You are very sweet and successful but wow you are a monster jerk to yourself. I can’t imagine you saying the negative things you say to yourself to someone else. I think you should think of yourself as your best friend and treat you like you treat others ❤❤❤ you are worthy 😘
Hi, so yes, it's true. Exercise does tend to make you hungry, so for anyone trying to lose weight, exercise isn't the way to go. You have to fix your food because no amount of exercise will make you lose weight if you don't eat properly. Exercise helps to maintain weight. Now if you go running all day long and don't have any time to eat when you are home, i.e. you're either running or sleeping, then that running will probably make you lose weight, but that's only because you're sleeping the rest of the time, and not eating anything. Most pro athletes or people on The Biggest Loser exercise all day, sure, but they also have someone who prepares their food for them.
I'm not a binge eater but the past few weeks I've been super stressed about many things and as a way to cope I stayed up extra late and ate a bunch of junk food. I'll be honest I enjoyed the hell out of it. But it's time for me to get back to my usual healthy eating and going to bed early. Going to bed no later than midnight helps me alot. When I stay up past midnight I get so tempted to start eating.
💚💛 you are struggling with this because you refuse to change your lifestyle its beyond ridiculous that you just go around in circles this is going to be your life until you have a heart attack, unfortunately your labels and excuses are going to be your downfall because you are kidding nobody apart from yourself 💛💚
@@LW-tb3cz that's quite funny because I am actually a Dr only of physics , I'm not going to sit and watch tammy destroy herself and not say anything weather you find it rude or not is none of my concern as the comments are not for you . Tammy needs a serious wake up call because her health is not even funny . If everybody told tammy that enough is enough then she might do something about it unfortunately telling her how cute her cats are is not going to save her life.
@@ashleigh_whatever does that somehow discredit what they said? Might not be their first language. I've noticed most of the blind supporters here love using ad hominem when faced with simple facts.
@@lolabear3230 Yeah because telling her 'this is going to be your life until you have a heart attack' is going to save her. You can justify it by calling it a 'wake up call' but at the end of the day it's just a nasty comment that doesn't help her any more than the comments about her cats.
Tammy nice to see you again. Stop beating yourself up. Take it one day at a time. If you have a binge, just start new the next day. Restricting is not good for your body. You have a very supportive fan bass, we are here to cheer you on, and you are loved. I wish you the best. You are strong our Sweet Lemon.💖🍋💖🍋💖

Having a regular job outside of your home is a blessing. Maybe look into that. It will help.

500 calories burned for an hour of walking, don’t think so
seems high yes
At her body weight, maybe.
It took a lot of videos before I finally left a message. I'm a chronic starver and I take your balanced meals as my way of helping myself.
Maybe check in a clinic ! I think you need professional help

Agreed.
Much love to you Tammy ❤ I’ve been here a long time and love seeing an upload!!!!
But you won't lose weight if you keep adding calories to your deficit. Doesn't the caloric deficit cause a person to lose weight?
Fill up with low starch veggies before touching carby/greasy/sweet stuff.
Exercise definitely increases my appetite. Not so bad with light walking, but cardio, weights or really long walks make me really hungry. The chicken wraps look tasty
Swimming is top of my list of exercise that makes me hungry. :)

Instead of getting focused on calories because of a binge and then trying to restrict calories afterwards… Why don’t you think of it like this: A binge is a nutritional ZERO. 🍽 Like you said in this video, it’s all sugar and fats! So the way to cancel the binge is NOT to starve or restrict, but to get all the Nutritional Points back you lost with the binge. 💛 So give yourself 1 point for every balanced meal you eat and every portion of a different fruit and vegetable you have each day following a binge. 🥗🥙🍲🍱 Your goal should be: 3 balanced meal points + 5 minimum veg/fruit points. Your ultimate daily goal should be 10 total points every day and each day after every binge. And remember! Binges count as ZERO. Starving and restricting will never get you to 10! Your goal is to make 10 points everyday. Tammy you deserve to be 10/10! 🏆💐🌟 Please try this! 💛 And when you are stronger and 10/10, do your best to quit added sugar. Your body will go through a tough adjustment phase (or sugar withdrawal over several weeks) but you can do it! You are worth it Tammy! You are smart, you are creative, you are strong. You can do it! 💫 And you will feel so much better about everything! ✨💛🍋🌿
Who else sings along to the intro?
100% 😂
ME! Haha. Still 😂
@@TammyLemon. it's a super catchy song! 🤣
@@TammyLemon. I used to think you recorded yourself 🎤🎙️🎵 singing it
@@TammyLemon. You need to sing a bit of it for us yourself...maybe on a live stream.
Tbh I don't get why restricting os not ok after bing. Someone who has normal relationships with food would probably aet less after Christmas or a Birthday. Just naturally eating less or skipping meals due to luck of appetite.
Because if you restrict too heavily then you become abnormally hungry again and increase the likelihood of losing control when you start eating again and having another binge, and the cycle continues.
Also, the restricting is as debilitating as the binging because the obsession around numbers and calories is so mentally draining and you feel light headed and headachey from not eating enough, regardless of how much you ate the day before.
Hi Tammy, I support you all the way, and I think you are brave to share your story on RUclips. I was wondering how you calculate the calories you burn by things like walking. 560 kcal sounds like a lot for an hour of walking. I am definitely no expert, but I have been infused with the idea that there is no way to out train a bad diet. And well... I guese just wanted to warn you or something. My fitbit lies to me all the time. I currently maintain my weight at about 1800-2000 kcal per day, but my fitbit tells me I am burning like 2500 every day. Just be careful🙂 Zet hem op!!!
She's almost 500 pounds at 5'9''. I wouldn't be surprised if she lost that many calories in an hour of moderate paced walking.
@@danibaie Is she almost 500 pounds? I thought less. I figure it might be hard to do moderately paced walking for an hour straight at that weight though.
I was wondering the same thing, I work as a mail carrier and walk 16.000-20.000 steps every day and I can't imagine I burn more than maybe 400-500 calories through that (I don't count calories, but based on what I aproximately consume during the day and my weight), and even with her weight I don't think it's that much. Estimating your burned calorie too high can make all the difference, so I would be very careful with that
You cannot out-exercise a bad diet. Eating clean whole foods helped me stop craving junk food.
Tammy i follow your journey and i See you but it is obv that you can not overcome your disorder yourself you need professionell help so get hospitalized and try to get better it is an addiction and you need help you cant Do it alone
@@Olijfberg oh i didnt know that ! Thank you for the Information! That sounds very hard Indeed i really hope for the best for tammy !
your issue IMO is a BLOOD SUGAR one which is creating the binge cycle. if you were on metformin or ozempic and took your blood glucose with an at home monitor you would see your blood sugar. i am northern european too and we are all prone to having sugar issues.
Tammy thank you for sharing!
I struggle with binging and restricting also and am afraid of weight gain
your videos help me understand myself, because of you i realised one of my overeating triggers is overstimulation... thank you tammy
Hi Tammy, forgive yourself for the binge and just get back on track. Walking for one hour is awesome! 😊
Hey Tammy!! Just wanted to let you know that I adore your new intro with all kitties. It's brilliant! You're doing such a great job with your content and your editing. Love from Spain!
I think it’s brave to face the calories! If I eat a tub of ice cream I do not want to know how many calories it was!!
Tammy, you should consider that maybe you eat too little in general. You try to stick to 1800-2000 calories and I think it's quite a large deficit for you, isn't it? Maybe it pushes you to binge.
Agree! generally Tammy's meals are quite small, she might need to eat a little more and it might help lessen the risk of binging. Like for example her lunch is usually a sandwich, it's not enough, but if she added in a pot of yogurt, some nuts and a piece for fruit it might curb the risk of binging.
Maybe just walk up and down your steps a couple times a day
Same thing kinda happened to me with excessive calorie burning, but I think it was more in my head. I rely on exercise for stress relief, but I as I planned groceries for restriction, I also made the mistake of catastrophizing it into ‘I’m burning too many calories, food is running out’!
Today was a good day, however, I made time to do some light activity. I did ruminate on how I would do it while multitasking (which is something else that brings me joy, since I am in my goal range) on games and youtube, but really once I started doing my work (and setup of my environment instead of just mindless dreaming about it) on my laptop, the urge to take that the device (my entire bag) with me(to avoid the cluttered house) disappeared, and my plan fell into place.
That’s my day of indulging (I think responsibly, as I’m still ready to go home and get another round of studying done) in my compulsions minimally productively. Rant over. I find that It helps the all or nothing mindset to think that as soon as you start, and no matter how lightly/casually/slowly you start, the binary is towards positive progress. I recently binged pretty badly too, but more importantly (to me) created a lot of messes/hazards in the process, but I find peace in the practice of calmly fixing everything again. The negative side of it latches on to that thinking, but if it helps to let a few things go, your mental health is not negative to your goals, even if it requires you to go in the opposite direction for a bit.
The strategy just needs some execution to form, even seemingly small actions are a binary positive in the area of your overall well-being. Visual: www.qrb-bw.de/pdf_pool/pythondemo/cdpydoc/images/simpleradar.png
Don't beat yourself up, it's OK to make mistakes as long as you learn from them, what you do!
By the way - you did prepare those ABMs (after binge meals) to have something healthy to eat after a binge a few videos ago, so you won't restrict...Didn't that work out for you?
Wish you al the best - you got this!! You can do hard things! ❤️
I tried eating one of those ABMs but I kept telling myself... this binge is different, this one wasn't a real one. But it was. 🙄 So I'll have to think about how to ignore that inner voice because I didn't make those ABMs for nothing. I know they'll work. I think I have to get used to the walking, eating more since I go for these walks and using those ABMs without making excuses.
@@TammyLemon. ruclips.net/video/AVY5tvfjnkY/видео.html i recommend you listen to this before bed for about a month believe me girl
@@TammyLemon. its all in your mind
@@TammyLemon. because it has happen me the same ive develop a horrible habit of binging when geting drunk
My brain can’t handle matching all these cats to their names, lol! No wonder you are so good with languages, Tammy!
Tammy, thank you for sharing, I occasionally have a bench too. Then I feel so guilty but I just keep going forward and keep trying. For me personally, I love the cat in the background I know they’re making a mess of your pretties, but you don’t have to apologize for them. They’re awesome just like you.
I love the cats❤
I don’t feel like I truly binge, but I over eat and then I restrict.
I think even naturally thin people do that with out even thinking about it.
I think you might have a food addiction, and not BED.
What’s the difference? 🙂
7500 calories in one sitting sounds an awful lot like binge eating.
I loooove the background with the cute little chickens omg😭😭❤️❤️❤️🐥🐥
I recently started reverse dieting, 3 years ago I weighed 280 pounds, I currently weigh 125 pounds which is my goal weight, for the first year and a half I ate 1000 calories a day, when I hit 145 I increased to 1250, currently I am eating 1300 calories slowly increasing the calories so I don't lose anymore, but I never want to be overweight or obese again, I can't even imagine eating 7500 calories in one day, that is so much food, I would be in pain if I tried to eat that much. Tammy I know you can do this, just count your calories and weigh your food, if I can do it anyone can, and I am an old lady, I will be 65 in July
It's real life if you binge, just get back on your healthy eating, start with drinking water..
To hold your self accountable weigh yourself 1 once a week
Tammy you are amazing, thanks for your honesty. Love the new intro! Just a small constructive criticism, I know you are recording in several days or at different times and want to be polite, but could you just greet us only once during each video with "Hello Lemfam"? It sounds quite annoying to hear it several times during the video and doesn't add much to the content, esp.if some viewers only listen to the videos while doing things around the house etc. :) Maybe change it to different way of greeting after 1st time using it at the beginning. Thanks a lot for consideration of this suggestion.
I agree but wasn't quite sure how to bring it up in a polite way. It's not bothering me on its own, but by the amount of times used it starts to. Thank you 🙏
@@annebethkuijs9442 Thank you very much for your support. I wasn't quite sure either as I know she means it well. Maybe it's the intonation too, not sure. But I love her ☺🙌
It seems if you are going to see the calories you burn through walking, as calories that you now need to "replace" then you are defeating the reason for the exercise. The calories burnt is work well done, not calories to put back into the "pot". I you do that then why do the walking? I can see that it all loops back into your need to track those numbers, and the OCD part of your struggle, but it will soon become another "rule" and add to the cycle for you.
I really think you are awesome. You are showing all of us!!!
I was literally just going to say what @MissingGypsy89 said!! ❤ I love the new intro, love that the kitties are included like that! 😊 ❤💕 Xoxoxo
When the room-lighting hits the blue eyes at 17:23~ quite amazing !
Do they have the new weight loss drugs in your country, Wegovy and Monjaro? We have them in the US but only rich people can afford them.
Never apologise for the kitties in the backround pls💕🥰 they are so CUTEEEEE 🥲❤️
All the calculations comes across as OCD behaviour. I feel for you, Tammy
Please keep exercising . Turn your scales off go outside and hug a tree so much power nature wants us to absorb please listen to chakira transformations
Eating disorders are all about control. Same as OCD...
I think you should see you restricting as a comfort blanket for your BED. No you don't want to do either, but knowing you have comfort in restricting in case you binge to "undo" the damage of binging is why you go back to it. I think you should work on letting go of that comfort and sit in the discomfort from binging, maybe that will push you to not binge anymore or not nearly as often because then you don't have your go to to rely on anymore, you'll have to instead rely on not binging so you don't have to sit with the discomfort of the aftermath of it.
I completely understand and you’re doing your best to try and handle your binges healthily. Keep it up girlie😊
That calculation is crazy and not real.
@bartasparta6044you’ve left 121 comments on this channel. Very normal behaviour.
13:10 do you mean 390? Maybe i missed something. Keep fighting 💟
I think you would benefit from having set eating and exercising times. When I know what time my meals are, I have more control in between them.
A routine will help you a lot. Bed time and a strong alarm to wake you up in the morning. You know how to cook and meal prep. Why don’t you do that?
The math is not mathing. You basically calculated your binges and now you are restricting so you will stay under you weekly calorie goal?
I see so much potential in you.
You need a new team of therapists and dieticians.
I struggle with it too ❤
One of the things that helped me somehow is not feeling guilty about it (i dont have e.d. anymore and that doesnt mean that if that worked for me it will work for you).
Its easier to say than done, but trying to compensates the overating episode with restricting or skipping meals or doing exercise (if you are not use to) isnt good because it triggers the anxiety and it worses the chances to binge again days after.
And a good thing plan a "cheat meal" in the week (like on weekend), to satisfy what you want to eat that isnt healthy.
eating more because you are exercising could be trouble to lose weight. Sometims i am afraid to be like explaining things like things are easy, they arent. I hope you try a way to make things better.
Do you ever allow yourself to enjoy your binge and not feel guilty about it and also not restricting the next day?
Ik heb nu ook die tube bounty
ijs gekocht en helemaal opgegeten. Was wel lekker 😊
Dear Tammy, have you ever tried chromium picolinate? It helps so much with cravings! I have an BED that's triggered by my mental state. I started this thing, and haven't had binges for almost entire month! (It's a huge accomplishment for someone who used to binge every other day). Ask your dietician about chromium.
Thank you for your honesty. It's helpful.
Also, thank you for the cat intro!
You just need to walk
I’m sorry you experienced this! 🙁
how’re you burning 500 calories with one hour of walking?
Does Tammy work a career outside of RUclips? Just curious.
Nope. Take a wild guess how she can afford housing, a car and binge foods with only 11-12k views per video.
Don't apologize for the cats. They are an important part of the show.
Hey, super dapper dat je dit deelt. Recovery is not linear! Ik hoop dat het al wat beter gaat met jou. Hoe ga je om met de buikpijn en misselijkheid door een eetbui? Ik worstel er altijd mee en ik voel me walgelijk daardoor. Ik heb 4 jaar lang een erge restrictieve eetstoornis gehad en since ik geen ondergewicht meer heb en op mijn zwaarste ooit ben, heb ik last van eetbuien.
Ik vind het zo jammer dat er verwacht wordt dat je volledig hersteld bent, als je een 'gezond' gewicht bent...😢
You are very sweet and successful but wow you are a monster jerk to yourself. I can’t imagine you saying the negative things you say to yourself to someone else. I think you should think of yourself as your best friend and treat you like you treat others ❤❤❤ you are worthy 😘
please make a compilation of your cats messing stuff up 😝 i love the last clip 🤣
we are here and we are proud of you x 🥰
There has to be medicine that you can take to help you with this cycle.
Hi, so yes, it's true. Exercise does tend to make you hungry, so for anyone trying to lose weight, exercise isn't the way to go. You have to fix your food because no amount of exercise will make you lose weight if you don't eat properly. Exercise helps to maintain weight. Now if you go running all day long and don't have any time to eat when you are home, i.e. you're either running or sleeping, then that running will probably make you lose weight, but that's only because you're sleeping the rest of the time, and not eating anything. Most pro athletes or people on The Biggest Loser exercise all day, sure, but they also have someone who prepares their food for them.
You have a nice home.
Love your videos and honesty x
Tammy, do you have a PO Box that you receive things from us subscribers?
Have your binges been more frequent since the issues with your therapy?
The Kitty Intro is Just so cuuuuteeeee ✨💕🥰
Omg u kept the beginning❤❤❤❤❤ i love it
Thanks Tammy, this is really relatable... oddly helps
Chicken has no carbs, so you will be good
I'm not a binge eater but the past few weeks I've been super stressed about many things and as a way to cope I stayed up extra late and ate a bunch of junk food. I'll be honest I enjoyed the hell out of it. But it's time for me to get back to my usual healthy eating and going to bed early. Going to bed no later than midnight helps me alot. When I stay up past midnight I get so tempted to start eating.
sending you lots of love xoxox
love the new intro - love your cats!
Love the take out at the end, gave me a good laugh which I needed. Have a great weekend :)
So om hoping to be busy ABOUT wealth for the next couple of days
As long as you keep trying then you are not failing. 💗
💚💛 you are struggling with this because you refuse to change your lifestyle its beyond ridiculous that you just go around in circles this is going to be your life until you have a heart attack, unfortunately your labels and excuses are going to be your downfall because you are kidding nobody apart from yourself 💛💚
@Lizzy we need to put Dr. in front of Lola Bear's name as she seems to know soooooo much more than everyone else.
@@LW-tb3cz that's quite funny because I am actually a Dr only of physics , I'm not going to sit and watch tammy destroy herself and not say anything weather you find it rude or not is none of my concern as the comments are not for you . Tammy needs a serious wake up call because her health is not even funny . If everybody told tammy that enough is enough then she might do something about it unfortunately telling her how cute her cats are is not going to save her life.
@@lolabear3230 You are a "Dr of physics" but can't use the correct spelling of whether. ~insert Sure Jan gif here~
@@ashleigh_whatever does that somehow discredit what they said? Might not be their first language. I've noticed most of the blind supporters here love using ad hominem when faced with simple facts.
@@lolabear3230 Yeah because telling her 'this is going to be your life until you have a heart attack' is going to save her. You can justify it by calling it a 'wake up call' but at the end of the day it's just a nasty comment that doesn't help her any more than the comments about her cats.
You have a real talent for filming, editing, and narrating...have you ever considered working in the video production field 📹 🎥
Tammy nice to see you again. Stop beating yourself up. Take it one day at a time. If you have a binge, just start new the next day. Restricting is not good for your body. You have a very supportive fan bass, we are here to cheer you on, and you are loved. I wish you the best. You are strong our Sweet Lemon.💖🍋💖🍋💖
Of course it does. Life is so hard.
