Some of you have asked about my planner! It's just an inexpensive weekly/monthly planner from Amazon, but i love it. It's perfect for macro, brain dumping. Here is the link: amzn.to/3gbtkki
Hi Cass, love your videos. I really wanted to ask you something. I have been considering the weight loss surgery for a long time now, and just like you, I feel like that is my only option and I am certain about it. Have done my research and all the boring stuff, I just wanted to know from you, how has the skin side of things been for you? I'm sorry if this is too personal and if you are not comfortable answering this I totally understand, but the one thing that worries me a lot is the skin aspect post surgery, is that something I should be worried about? How do you feel about it and how has it been for you?
Not too personal at all! I have loose skin, but it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I have a lot of stretch marks from pregnancy, so a bikini bod has never been my goal. The loose skin doesn't bother me at all, I just tuck it in my pants and forget it's even there! I even wear tank tops, despite my arm skin flaps. I'm like BatMom, but whatever, I didn't like my arms when I was overweight either!
Cas the planner you spoke of from Amazon that’s good for macro organizers, is there one that you would choose for bee-micro organization? Ty Cas - I just love you and would have loved, loved to have a sister like you. Just my own feelings and thoughts.
@@lindamcadarra402 I’m a Bee and a bit obsessed with planners. I have found that the one that works best for me is one that has both a weekly and daily layout. There are a few companies that make those: Plum Planner and Erin Condren both have A5 size daily planners that can be ordered online. If you want to look at something in person, check out the Happy Planner and Recollections at Michael’s. Happy Planner doesn’t have a daily, but their system is on discs, so you can pull in sheets from all of their different accessories so that you have a list for each day (they make half-sheet size just for this purpose). Lmk if you have any questions about planners.
I'm with you there...nothing motivates me more to deep clean than hosting a get together or having guest over for a visit.. I clean like my life depends on it!I 🤣🤣
Candy is so dangerous!! If you can avoid it, then it's easy to stick to...but the moment you have a little you want more, more, MORE!!!! Thanks for tips Cas! I suffer from perfection paralysis a lot! However, I'm a big advocate for cleaning/ creativity in PJ's!
Bahaha, yes, my mom calling to say that she and my grandmother coming over and I start looking around and shoving crap everywhere and I forgot to mention my parents only live two houses away🤦♀️
“Half-ass Cass”...I’m dying over here!🤣 Thanks for always showing up with solid advice. Small steps forward adds up over time and is more sustainable overall. Love your outlook!
You have no idea what you did for me mentally just by saying that you lay in bed a lot. Just to be able to relate to you on that level majorly inspires me. Thank you!
I saw a quote online that I have to share. "I hate how reward systems never work for me. Like can't just say, 'If I finish this assignment I can have a cookie' because my brain is like, '.....or you could just have one right now,' and I can't argue with that logic." 😂
@@sariahsue Hi Sariahsue! (pretty name btw). I wrote the same words almost verbatim in the comment section of a RUclips video. Nice to know I’m not the only one. I was raised by very strict parents, so I am pretty indulgent to my inner child. In my comment, I think I said something like. This won’t work for me: “Finish cleaning your room and you can have a cookie (watch YT for an hour).” My inner child: “I’ll have a cookie (watch YT for an hour) whenever I d#%n well please.” So sad! She’s still rebellious.
I wonder if connecting how one feels after the job is done would thwart that inner child, instead of a reward cookie? “Yay! No more searching for things! Or, Now I can have anyone drop in!”.
Who else loves her “verbage” Half-Ass Cass and “I’ve been doing BETTERISH” ! It’s everything! If I’m real, it’s actually more motivating than “Perfect, Great, and best”! 💖
If they are sterilized from your dishwasher and your hands are clean, why NOT? (Perhaps better than drying them with your butt. Who KNOWS where THAT’s been? 😆)
Yeah, when I was a kid my father had a number of sayings, one of them being, "Why put off 'til tomorrow what you can do today." I remember saying to him in return when, as an adult, he quoted it to me again, "Why do today what you can put off 'til tomorrow." He wasn't very impressed.
The best way to be productive is turn off the “how to “ RUclips videos😁 I have made your channel as well as 15 others I love, an end of the day treat, Well I allow no more than 30 minutes in the morning, tops. I also do a reverse To Do List, as I get things Accomplished I start putting them on my calendar, I have a planner I keep my achievements written do in. So if its noon and nothing , even brushing my teeth isn’t written do I know I gave to run do ghat along with today as I go. Instead of looking at a long to do list in the morning by the end of the evening I see a long list of achieved things I have done even if it’s brush your hair make the bed pick up a piece of trash off the floor it just kind of motivates me👍🏻😊 SUGAR/Processed carbs are an addictive drug!!!
I do a combo. I will write items to on sticky notes for each day of the week. Then on the day, I will use them as a guide and when each item or ones have been done, I write it down in my daily journal. It’s easy to move sticky notes around.
Progress over perfection gives freedom to those of us with the tendency to perfection. (coming from a "recovering perfectionist". Very encouraging video. xoxo
I’m sedentary and I like it that way. I literally laughed out loud when you said to clean the spot with your sock! Also laughed when you said you dry your wet dishes from the dishwasher on your bum. I dry mine on my hip. It is always SO good to know you’re not the only one who does these things! Thank you, Cas!
You’re looking great. A tip about dishwashers - when mine has finished I leave the door & racks open for a couple of hours & when I go to unload it there are no wet dishes or cutlery etc.
And if you half-ass wipe off water from the cup bottoms & turn them upright for a bit, the insides are dry in a little while with the door cracked open 👍🏼😊
I call my to do list my 'gottagetdones'. Because they are the things that I 'gotta get done" before I can do anything else. And let me tell you, the best advice I've ever had was to make the bed each day. Great video.
Yup, I get dressed and make my bed... or straighten the covers anyway lol, but once I've done that, it motivates me to go downstairs and do some tidying in the kitchen... before I know it the benches are cleared and the dishwasher is on! Then I'll sit down and have my cup of tea before going to gather all the washing... next minute there's a load of washing on! Etc...etc...etc...
Twice I took my bra off in my house, both times old strange men knocked on the door asking for directions! Dog was out barking, I couldn't even get it. I'll never be without all clothes on again! Pretty positive they will never ask for directions again.
This is Gidget. I've noticed the more "junk" I allow myself to indulge the less productive I tend to be. Just makes me feel tired and yucky. It's not easy to get over.
I am fairly new to your channel (and others) having started my decluttering and weight loss journey a couple of months ago. I have to say that I absolutely LOVE this video. It was so different from the Dollar Tree videos and i felt like I got to really learn so much more about you. it was so real in that you shared your vulnerabilities with all of us, which I’m sure many of us share. It was so timely for me in every respect. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Cas - I absolutely love you! Thank you so much for being so honest with us about your weight loss surgery and the struggles you have. And of course, the wonderful guidance that you give. I love today's "Lower your expectations". I try - I really do but it was beat into my head as a child that the house had to be spotless. I'm an only child so it was up to me to do most of it. I struggle to let that go because let's face it, we have full time jobs and "life" that happens and don't always have time to "mop that floor". Thank you for being real. Big hugs!
Love this! One quote that has always stuck with me is “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good”. I think this goes right along with your advice in this video!
"Half-assed Cass"! 😂 I love it!! My favorite thing about your videos is that you share the REAL side, you don't make it all sunshine and roses, and acknowledge that for some, especially those with depression or physical challenges...it's HARD! I found this inspiring...now I'm going to go unload the dishwasher! 💖💖💖
About half way into your video, I paused it and walked into my dining room and dusted everything! It's been on my list for four days and I just kept moving it to the next day. You motivate me so very much! Now, I'll continue watching the video. 😂
I so appreciate you, Cass. I am a perfectionist procrastinator. Which means I have to force myself to be okay with "good enough" or I won't start anything at all. Thanks for being a real person, and showing it! 💕
I don't know why, but listening to these pieces of advice make me so much more motivated even though I know all these things. And still, I need it to be said. Thank you! :)
How to be more productive #6 = watch a video by Cas!!! I love this. Thank you for the motivation. I'm also an obliger and I have discovered this year that "Don't break the chain challenges" work very well for me! Read for 21 minutes a day during 2021 = I'm on book #13!!! Declutter/Tidy for at least 5 minutes per day = I'm on day 51. 😳😁 Paper has been my nemesis for Years and I finally can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for all that you do to help and encourage us! ❤️ Tammy in N Alabama. 🙋♀️
Thank you Cass! I feel like I’m always on a metaphorical treadmill with things to do and I end up just putting my head in the dirt. 😩 Your tips are so down to earth.
I love how real you are with us! I have watched you for years and your "realness" has kept me watching! I like that you don't have to do it right, just get it done.
"Put a cat in your chair" Perfect!! 😂 honestly it's like she said at the beginning "this isn't revolutionary stuff guys" but it's the way that she explained each and every step you know like the 5 minute tidy, and make your bed... the way that she went into the extra explanation and steps beyond what to do, and how she and put herself out there as an example all of it, every. single. part. of this video spoke to me! I'm just floored right now that the exact same stuff that I've heard from multiple people, numerous times before really just came out and slapped me in the face today! and yeah I'm totally down to do everything that she says because for me it was revolutionary maybe even life changing! We'll see, cause yeah, unfortunately I too am absolutely a sedentary person.. but, just, THANK YOU so much Cas, I really, truly mean that!
For some reason it hit me exactly the same way! My lists have been so detailed and so punishing. I don’t parent myself. I’ve known that for a long time. But I never formalized it. So I didn’t “get it.” Making my couch! Lol. Who woulda thunk? Lol I’ve made my couch before unintentionally and the first thing I have done is say, oh, that’s not right and move everything so I can sit back down. Lol!! I’m part of the decluttering group. Many have said some of the things in the video. But today it just went right into my brain. 💡 moment. I immediately made an achievable to do list! Wowzer!
Thank you for your tips! Referring to the end clip: eating disorders are very very real and also very very treatable! Find a professional to help you! We're all about not being perfect, sometimes we need professional help. From personal experience, it helps. Shocking, right? lol
I’m addicted to sugar (most alcoholics in recovery are). I cleaned out my kitchen and gave it up! I have so much energy now and I crave fruit. The detox from sugar was like a terrible flu but definitely worth it. Your taste buds will prefer oranges over starburst if you give them time to adapt.
This is why I love your videos! Your honesty! Not the whole "look at me I'm perfect" that you see in lots of other videos online. As a fellow ladybug/ burster/ too much chocolate person, I say: Thank you!
I love your realness! I was literally almost going to skip cleaning my 3 french doors but then I watched this video and did it without being so worried about perfection. Thank you for this!
Oh my gosh, Cass! Everything- EVERYTHING you said was so ME! Thank you for permission to do things badly! Perfection paralysis is so a thing! That you have days of malaise followed by a day or two of manic productivity - that’s me! I laughed out loud when you said you wipe a wet dish across your butt to dry it before putting it away. 🤣 I love your videos. You make me laugh and I feel validated and empowered to keep at it. Thank you!
I am drawn to being sedentary. The timer has been my friend as well as audio books. I will set a timer for 5-30 minutes, depending on my schedule and pop in my ear buds and am amazed at how much I can get done. Seeing myself being productive is motivation to do more!
I love your transparency!! I almost never dry the dishes. Mostly dried in the rack is good enough. I also used to diet incessantly (no sugar and low carb was the last one). I also hover between 130 and 140, and I've stopped white knuckling it to stay below 130. I read about intuitive eating, and decided I wanted freedom -- even if it meant saying goodbye to size 4 and hello size 8. Good enough! Because I also want a donut now and then. And to not obsess. So much happier. I also ditched that scale that ruined my days. You rock!
Speaking of Gretchen Rubin (who's lovely and well worth going to see speak/a book signing) I remember her quoting: "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good". I used to be a perfectionist/cricket but I've learned to half-ass (and ladybug/butterfly) my way through motherhood 😂 ... It's what works for our autistic&ADHD family for now while our boy is little. He likes to use my little (water&vinegar) spray mop and an e-cloth with water too as it's so much easier - and safer - than the buckets of chemicals I used before becoming a mum! I also use my vacuum cleaner to dust - the little upholstery brush 😍 and my slow cooker makes dinner for us... All these shortcuts give me less stress and more time to play with / teach our boy instead :)
The floors are my weakness.... I don't have a threshold for when my floors are too dirty. I just want someone else to own the floor. I can do everything else. But if someone would just shampoo, vacuum, mop, & sweep that would make me complete.
This video gave me new confidence. I wanna thank you for being so OPEN and REAL!!! I have all the same tendencies finding myself depressed and more secluded than ever. I'm really planning to take your advice to heart. Thank You
I've been trying to adopt a good enough mentality but it's so hard for me. This sounds mean but I say this in a joking manner to my teen "We don't do things half ass! FULL ASS! FULL ASS! Lol it's get him laughing then he fixes the thing he half assed.
A few separate thoughts on the topic: 1. It’s hard with kids, because you also want them to have SOME integrity, right? You want them to try their best and care about being thoughtful by doing a good job for others. 2. I wish I had been more willing to let my daughter help in the kitchen more and do other things she was too young to do very well, just to get her hooked on wanting to help or even to enjoy helping, even if it meant I had to fix a few things later when she wasn’t looking. 3: I guess we can think of the half-assed as a “rough draft” and then we edit and fine-tune from there. It gets us going without overwhelming us or giving us fear of failure.
@@jeaniedickman6421 I totally agree with you. I know that habits in childhood translate to adult habits. So I want my son's to not be half ass students or husbands or fathers or employees. It's a gentle balance between teaching them to have integrity and letting them be kids.
Hi Cass🙋🏻♀️I was religiously watching your content then I had my own channel and life got into way and haven’t watch you for the past few years. You were always talking about loosing weight and how difficult you find the process wow you succeeded 🙌Bravo my sweet friend. I put 3 kilos during Lockdowns here in England and it’s so hard to loose even one😓Have a lovely week, and I will come back for more of your videos, I definitely missed you😘💜
Thanks for the advice Cass. I tend to overwhelm myself with thoughts and never get anything done. So I will try making a list and do at least 3 things a day. I’m honestly tired of laying on the couch all day. I’m sure I’ll feel better if I get up and do something.
I had a bypass 3 years ago. I’m the same as you. I also struggle with what i put in my mouth. Candy is so good! I need to eat more protein and drink more water. It’s hard!!!
As someone who has waged a lifelong battle with being over weight, the best way I’ve found to combat those urges is to not have the temptation within reach (don’t buy them in the first place). 😬 Two years ago, for health reasons, I had to go off of all processed sugar (candy, baked goods, sugary drinks). That has not been a problem because I know how much I will suffer if I have even one small indulgence. However, I still struggle with potatoes, pasta and salty snacks. I have found that portion control is my best friend. Hang in there Cas, you look great. 💝
I didn’t buy the snacks all the time, because I know my temptations...my husband is the one who buys them & brings them home...it ticks me off...I need to work on that & fight it off...
OMG! I just found you thanks to Dawn, the minimal mom, and I'm so glad I did! I need you and your videos and your tips and all of it! You give me hope in myself that I can actually do this organization thing! Also, I too struggle with disordered eating. Always wondered if my eating and my clutter were related 🤔 Thank you for being you! ❤
OMG! PERFECTION PARALYSIS! Yes, I am very familiar with this. You so know me, it's weird. Thank you for being you, so open, encouraging, and FUNNY! The fact you are speaking from experience, being a self- admitted recovering slob just makes you understand the struggle. You are a gift and an inspiration and have helped me so much!!
Thank you for your honesty with your weight loss. I was 214 lb years ago and then got down to 169 lb, but it was not sustainable and after a few stressful years I ended up at 244 lb. I have been focusing on my health for 6 months and am back to my original starting point of 214 lb and hoping this time I can change my lifestyle to lose the weight and keep it off.
Best of luck to you. I want to actually feed my body, so I can hopefully feel better. This will take parenting myself. I have 75 pounds to release, so my blood sugar stops being an issue.
As I was watching this video, I realized that i hated emptying the dishwasher. I devised a new system for myself and it works great for me. Instead of putting each item away right away, I pull items out and place them on my countertops in the general area of where they are to go. Then I can reload the dishwasher with dirty items from my sink, and close it. One part done, then I place all clean items in there designated home. Thanks Cass for new mindset. ❤️
CASS! WE HAVE WATCHED YOUR CHANNEL FOR YEARS! 💟 CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW SHOW. 🎥📺 I RECOMMEND TO GO TO OVEREATERS ANNONIMOUS. AND GET A THERAPIST. 🎓🥼 MY FRIEND ENDED UP GAINING ALL THE WEIGHT BACK AFTER 5 YEARS. 😔 I SO DONT WANT THAT FOR YOU! ALSO DO 5 MINS A DAY OF INTENTIONAL EXERCISE.🚶🏼♀️ HUGS
Lynnette …. Pause the video, then go to the upper right screen and you will see 3 dots, tap on them and then go down to bottom, Play back speed, click and choose your speed from faster to slower speeds available. Hope this helps. 😊
Thank you for being open and honest about your weight loss journey. I too struggle very much with my temptations with junk food and it’s so hard! Keep up the good work! You’ve got this!!
I tend to add and subract compulsive eating: Like I go on a month-long binge with chipy things without stopping the chocolate, then I want to get control again, so I cut out the chips, but add in pies. Sigh.
I have type 2 diabetes. The numbers are too high. Do, I'm adding a serving each of raw vegetables and cooked vegetables and a piece of fruit daily. I eat way too much candy. I hope actually parenting myself with nutrients will help with sugar cravings.
I don't know who you are or why I clicked on this video. I've never heard of you or seen anything you've posted but I needed to stop this video and type this message.... I LOVE YOU! You are one of the realest people I've watched and you said a lot of the things I deal with. I really appreciate you and this video. I will be giving myself permission to do things bad so that I do SOMETHING. I have trouble with depression, anxiety and no motivation. Some days I can't make myself even get out of bed because I'm so overwhelmed at what needs to be done. After watching this video I actually fixed up my bed so I could get out of it, and I emptied the dish washer. I watched tv after that for a few hours, but I ultimately cleaned the kitchen before going back to bed. For me that is a lot. I feel so productive and excited about what I can get done tomorrow. I'm starting my TO DO list with 3 things, and will try to do a "freebee" if I have the energy afterwards. I just want to thank you for your words and how you addressed the things you talked about in this video. I will be watching more of your posts. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
My secret to cleaning is a shot or two. I'm serious it's enough to calm my brain and dull things slightly so I can do tasks that normally cause me to be too in my head. There is nothing worse than cleaning and your brain is going a mile a minute with so many other things you need to do or stressed over. The slight buzz is enough to calm thay and its the only time I drink so if you want a drink you clean. Hahah
I've found cbd to be helpful for calming & focusing. It reduces anxiety & helps ease aches & pains. It puts me in a better mood so I can be more productive. Nights when I don't want to take my anti-anxiety prescription (to turn off my overactive brain so I can sleep)I find that a good cbd works just as well. 💙
I must say, I really appreciate your take on the "if you're going to do something, do it well!" Eye opener and a relief! Thank you!! I also am grateful for your honesty about FOODs you eat and the whole reality of loving things that are not feeding our bodies what it needs. Anyways, I'm right there with you (except I never had the surgery and am hopefully not going to need it becaus eI am trying to work on this before it's gone too far.. but still, it's very hard, and I love foods my body does not tolerate well... so.. I get that!) You can do it. :)
Eating disorders are common comorbidities with ADHD - our impulse control tends to be a problem! I found that doing EMDR with a therapist helped me cope with both a lot more successfully. Plus I quit nicotine, too! EMDR really is effective and a huge blessing in my life.
Thank you for sharing that clip at the end I really appreciate it ☺️ I've been going back and forth on wether or not to have the surgery so your input really helps 💕 Also I love your videos they're helping my daughter and I to get organized. My coworker told me about your channel ☺️
Thank you! This helped me sooo much this morning. 💕 I didn’t realize the pressure I made up about doing everything perfectly. So cleaning this morning with lower expectations helped me just do it!!!
Haha love this! Thanks for a good laugh and some great advice Cass! I definitely find getting dressed and making the bed helps me be more productive and just setting the mood to be productive like lighting a candle or sitting somewhere quiet with a tea ☺️
Your tips are right on. I have terminal liver cancer. For about a year I was just existing. I wanted to live. I found "The FlyLady" system and started implementing the baby steps. I have more energy and my house is cleaner than what it had been in a long time. I feel better about myself. Things are getting easier. As I declutter I use your system.
You are a riot and I really enjoy how hilariously real you are. Listening to your tips and tricks is like having coffee with a bff. Thank you for being you and sharing with us 🌺
This is so timely. I recently feel the depression coming again. I procrastinated cleaning the kitchen. This video helped, esp the To Do List. Yes, I wrote "kitchen" as an item and I just ended up not doing it at all. I think I'm going to change it and start with just the refrigerator tomorrow.
Best part of this video...”there is no magic bullet” either in health/fitness or in having a comfortably nest, clean home. Just gotta keep putting one foot in front of the other, and only open our mouths to talk...stop stuffing poison (carbs) into our bodies.
I stress eat and it’s carbs I crave ...I need to find a program...I did Omni 6 years ago and lost 60 pounds but have stressed most of them back on...😡 I can do this !
1. Lower expectations do things badly 2. Do things for 5 minutes 3. Only add 3-5 things on my to do list 4. Make your bed 5. Make yourself do it. Parent yourself.
OMG...this video hit home with me. I am a "burster" too! I have set the best plans on getting things accomplished in small chunks, but it always turns into a one day frenzy when I suddenly have a burst of energy! I feel so much better knowing I am not alone!!!!
I had the roux-en-y in 2001, I have been on a diet every single minute since. Eating is a chore for busy people, grabbing quick snacks is key for me. My starting weight was 326, I now hover between 125- 135. I know if food didn't taste so good, I would not have any problems! Proteins are key to balancing my sugars. If junk food is your struggle, as it is mine... homemade kale chips are amazing! Half-ass Cass! Why unload the dishwasher when you can just use the dishes straight out of it! Love your pep talks! I wish you luck with your diet journey, it's quite a ride!
Yes! But it’s so true! I have a dear friend who will let her floor get all dirty and then get out the mop and bucket. Me? As soon as I notice a spot or a spill, I’m on it. A little squirt (usually just water), a rag or paper towel, and a foot. And I’m good to go! Clean as you go. I have a bad back problem and this is a godsend.
Hi Cas, I remember your video defending your choice of being a stay home mom. You've accomplished so much more than average working-mom: loosing weight, running a daycare, having a successful RUclips channel, being an organizer, a video maker and now on television.Congratulations and thank you from a French Mom!!!
Oh wow, how can i give this video a million thumbs up extra? Love how you "mom" me, and be a straigthforward best friend at the same time. So glad i'm not the only one wiping the drops of water of my almost dry dishes against my shirt!
Some of you have asked about my planner! It's just an inexpensive weekly/monthly planner from Amazon, but i love it. It's perfect for macro, brain dumping. Here is the link: amzn.to/3gbtkki
Hi Cass, love your videos. I really wanted to ask you something. I have been considering the weight loss surgery for a long time now, and just like you, I feel like that is my only option and I am certain about it. Have done my research and all the boring stuff, I just wanted to know from you, how has the skin side of things been for you? I'm sorry if this is too personal and if you are not comfortable answering this I totally understand, but the one thing that worries me a lot is the skin aspect post surgery, is that something I should be worried about? How do you feel about it and how has it been for you?
Not too personal at all! I have loose skin, but it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I have a lot of stretch marks from pregnancy, so a bikini bod has never been my goal. The loose skin doesn't bother me at all, I just tuck it in my pants and forget it's even there! I even wear tank tops, despite my arm skin flaps. I'm like BatMom, but whatever, I didn't like my arms when I was overweight either!
Cas the planner you spoke of from Amazon that’s good for macro organizers, is there one that you would choose for bee-micro organization? Ty Cas - I just love you and would have loved, loved to have a sister like you. Just my own feelings and thoughts.

“I just wipe it on my butt!” What other YTer is that genuine with their audience? None. THIS is why we love Cass! ❤️❤️❤️
Ha, ha, ha! Cas, I love you, but I refuse to wipe my dishes dry on my butt! I normally have two dish towels ready. 😀
That was so funny!!!
🤣🤣🤣
Love it 😍
I’ve done it too but now I will think of you Cass 😜
I was cleaning the house one day and my daughter said "Who's coming over?". Guess that says it all! LOL
I used to ask that as a kid. 58, almost the same.😂😓
I'm with you there...nothing motivates me more to deep clean than hosting a get together or having guest over for a visit.. I clean like my life depends on it!I 🤣🤣
😂😂😂👍
Candy is so dangerous!! If you can avoid it, then it's easy to stick to...but the moment you have a little you want more, more, MORE!!!! Thanks for tips Cas! I suffer from perfection paralysis a lot! However, I'm a big advocate for cleaning/ creativity in PJ's!
Bahaha, yes, my mom calling to say that she and my grandmother coming over and I start looking around and shoving crap everywhere and I forgot to mention my parents only live two houses away🤦♀️
“Half-ass Cass”...I’m dying over here!🤣 Thanks for always showing up with solid advice. Small steps forward adds up over time and is more sustainable overall. Love your outlook!
Seriously amazing!
yes, I like that quirky personality!

@@jeaniedickman6421 She's pretty strong for a 3-year-old! What's in those cookies I feed her?!
@@sariahsue Hi Sariahsue! (pretty name btw). I wrote the same words almost verbatim in the comment section of a RUclips video. Nice to know I’m not the only one. I was raised by very strict parents, so I am pretty indulgent to my inner child.
In my comment, I think I said something like. This won’t work for me: “Finish cleaning your room and you can have a cookie (watch YT for an hour).” My inner child: “I’ll have a cookie (watch YT for an hour) whenever I d#%n well please.” So sad! She’s still rebellious.
I am the exact same and was just sitting here thinking, how can I outsmart that feisty little rebel? If anyone has a solution PLEASE tell me!!
I wonder if connecting how one feels after the job is done would thwart that inner child, instead of a reward cookie? “Yay! No more searching for things! Or, Now I can have anyone drop in!”.
1. To-Do list: 3-5 items
2. Parent yourself: withhold fun until chores done
3. 5-minute tidy
4. Do things half-assed
5. Make your bed
#4 😂🤣
Who else loves her “verbage” Half-Ass Cass and “I’ve been doing BETTERISH” ! It’s everything! If I’m real, it’s actually more motivating than “Perfect, Great, and best”! 💖
Yes I am a sedentary person...there I've confessed. 🤦🏼♀️
Me too, did she say brownies?
Me too. I have fibromyalgia so I often use it as an excuse. But I can always do 5 minutes of something a day. We got this.
Same. I have no excuse either. 😜
Any other INFJ's out there where sitting is a lifestyle? LOL
LMAO love it!!
Glad I’m not the only one who puts the dishes away wet! My mantra is “do things good enough not perfectly”.
If they are sterilized from your dishwasher and your hands are clean, why NOT? (Perhaps better than drying them with your butt. Who KNOWS where THAT’s been? 😆)
🤣 my mugs are always dripping when I put them away!
my dishes are only put away when I need room in the rack to wash up more!
Yeah, when I was a kid my father had a number of sayings, one of them being,
"Why put off 'til tomorrow what you can do today."
I remember saying to him in return when, as an adult, he quoted it to me again, "Why do today what you can put off 'til tomorrow."
He wasn't very impressed.
The best way to be productive is turn off the “how to “ RUclips videos😁
I have made your channel as well as 15 others I love, an end of the day treat, Well I allow no more than 30 minutes in the morning, tops. I also do a reverse To Do List, as I get things Accomplished I start putting them on my calendar, I have a planner I keep my achievements written do in. So if its noon and nothing , even brushing my teeth isn’t written do I know I gave to run do ghat along with today as I go. Instead of looking at a long to do list in the morning by the end of the evening I see a long list of achieved things I have done even if it’s brush your hair make the bed pick up a piece of trash off the floor it just kind of motivates me👍🏻😊
SUGAR/Processed carbs are an addictive drug!!!
I do a combo. I will write items to on sticky notes for each day of the week. Then on the day, I will use them as a guide and when each item or ones have been done, I write it down in my daily journal. It’s easy to move sticky notes around.
I do the same thing!! I feel so good with my to do list but I also write down what I have accomplished and when I look at that it feels great! ☺
I love the "Got 'er Done" list. The other kind is stressful to me.
Progress over perfection gives freedom to those of us with the tendency to perfection. (coming from a "recovering perfectionist". Very encouraging video. xoxo
Like Dana says, Better, is good, 👵🏼🐞
Its good for us lazy people too!
Fear can get things done too.😯
" Done, is better than perfect"!
I’m sedentary and I like it that way. I literally laughed out loud when you said to clean the spot with your sock! Also laughed when you said you dry your wet dishes from the dishwasher on your bum. I dry mine on my hip. It is always SO good to know you’re not the only one who does these things! Thank you, Cas!
You’re looking great.
A tip about dishwashers - when mine has finished I leave the door & racks open for a couple of hours & when I go to unload it there are no wet dishes or cutlery etc.
This so works!!
And if you half-ass wipe off water from the cup bottoms & turn them upright for a bit, the insides are dry in a little while with the door cracked open 👍🏼😊
Yep, I flip the plastic and cups around a couple times with the racks extended so they drip in place while I do other things.
I’ve missed these type of videos that you used to do. Your ideas are always great.
I call my to do list my 'gottagetdones'. Because they are the things that I 'gotta get done" before I can do anything else. And let me tell you, the best advice I've ever had was to make the bed each day. Great video.
Get dressed! Even if you're not leaving the house. Just the prices of getting ready gets me going
Yup, I get dressed and make my bed... or straighten the covers anyway lol, but once I've done that, it motivates me to go downstairs and do some tidying in the kitchen... before I know it the benches are cleared and the dishwasher is on! Then I'll sit down and have my cup of tea before going to gather all the washing... next minute there's a load of washing on! Etc...etc...etc...
And for me ..even a tiny bit of makeup ….it changes my attitude ..
Twice I took my bra off in my house, both times old strange men knocked on the door asking for directions! Dog was out barking, I couldn't even get it. I'll never be without all clothes on again! Pretty positive they will never ask for directions again.
This is Gidget. I've noticed the more "junk" I allow myself to indulge the less productive I tend to be. Just makes me feel tired and yucky. It's not easy to get over.
I am fairly new to your channel (and others) having started my decluttering and weight loss journey a couple of months ago. I have to say that I absolutely LOVE this video. It was so different from the Dollar Tree videos and i felt like I got to really learn so much more about you. it was so real in that you shared your vulnerabilities with all of us, which I’m sure many of us share. It was so timely for me in every respect. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Cas - I absolutely love you! Thank you so much for being so honest with us about your weight loss surgery and the struggles you have. And of course, the wonderful guidance that you give. I love today's "Lower your expectations". I try - I really do but it was beat into my head as a child that the house had to be spotless. I'm an only child so it was up to me to do most of it. I struggle to let that go because let's face it, we have full time jobs and "life" that happens and don't always have time to "mop that floor". Thank you for being real. Big hugs!
Love this! One quote that has always stuck with me is “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good”. I think this goes right along with your advice in this video!
Now it will stick with me too! Bc that is solid advice.
"I rub them on my butt..." LITERALLY LAUGHED OUT LOUD🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Half-assed Cass"! 😂 I love it!! My favorite thing about your videos is that you share the REAL side, you don't make it all sunshine and roses, and acknowledge that for some, especially those with depression or physical challenges...it's HARD! I found this inspiring...now I'm going to go unload the dishwasher! 💖💖💖
About half way into your video, I paused it and walked into my dining room and dusted everything! It's been on my list for four days and I just kept moving it to the next day. You motivate me so very much! Now, I'll continue watching the video. 😂
I so appreciate you, Cass.
I am a perfectionist procrastinator. Which means I have to force myself to be okay with "good enough" or I won't start anything at all.
Thanks for being a real person, and showing it! 💕
I don't know why, but listening to these pieces of advice make me so much more motivated even though I know all these things. And still, I need it to be said. Thank you! :)
Your just amazing after all these years on you tube you've remained yourself through it all love how genuine you are we appreciate it 💕
How to be more productive #6 = watch a video by Cas!!! I love this. Thank you for the motivation. I'm also an obliger and I have discovered this year that "Don't break the chain challenges" work very well for me! Read for 21 minutes a day during 2021 = I'm on book #13!!! Declutter/Tidy for at least 5 minutes per day = I'm on day 51. 😳😁 Paper has been my nemesis for Years and I finally can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for all that you do to help and encourage us! ❤️ Tammy in N Alabama. 🙋♀️
Thank you Cass! I feel like I’m always on a metaphorical treadmill with things to do and I end up just putting my head in the dirt. 😩 Your tips are so down to earth.
I love how real you are with us! I have watched you for years and your "realness" has kept me watching! I like that you don't have to do it right, just get it done.
"Put a cat in your chair" Perfect!! 😂 honestly it's like she said at the beginning "this isn't revolutionary stuff guys" but it's the way that she explained each and every step you know like the 5 minute tidy, and make your bed... the way that she went into the extra explanation and steps beyond what to do, and how she and put herself out there as an example all of it, every. single. part. of this video spoke to me! I'm just floored right now that the exact same stuff that I've heard from multiple people, numerous times before really just came out and slapped me in the face today! and yeah I'm totally down to do everything that she says because for me it was revolutionary maybe even life changing! We'll see, cause yeah, unfortunately I too am absolutely a sedentary person.. but, just, THANK YOU so much Cas, I really, truly mean that!
For some reason it hit me exactly the same way! My lists have been so detailed and so punishing. I don’t parent myself. I’ve known that for a long time. But I never formalized it. So I didn’t “get it.”
Making my couch! Lol. Who woulda thunk? Lol I’ve made my couch before unintentionally and the first thing I have done is say, oh, that’s not right and move everything so I can sit back down. Lol!!
I’m part of the decluttering group. Many have said some of the things in the video. But today it just went right into my brain. 💡 moment.
I immediately made an achievable to do list! Wowzer!
Lol, I'm the kind of person who would just remove whatever was in the chair. 😂
Thank you for your tips!
Referring to the end clip: eating disorders are very very real and also very very treatable! Find a professional to help you!
We're all about not being perfect, sometimes we need professional help. From personal experience, it helps. Shocking, right? lol
I’m addicted to sugar (most alcoholics in recovery are). I cleaned out my kitchen and gave it up! I have so much energy now and I crave fruit. The detox from sugar was like a terrible flu but definitely worth it. Your taste buds will prefer oranges over starburst if you give them time to adapt.
I used to scold my husband for not cleaning "the right way" but you're right, anything is better than nothing.
This is why I love your videos! Your honesty! Not the whole "look at me I'm perfect" that you see in lots of other videos online. As a fellow ladybug/ burster/ too much chocolate person, I say: Thank you!
What? Everyone doesn’t put dishes I the cabinet to finish drying?😂
I love your realness! I was literally almost going to skip cleaning my 3 french doors but then I watched this video and did it without being so worried about perfection. Thank you for this!
My grandma always said “If you’re going to do something, do it right!” And thank you for freeing me of that mantra!
My mother was the same, it really is the worst saying ever!
Oh my gosh, Cass! Everything- EVERYTHING you said was so ME! Thank you for permission to do things badly! Perfection paralysis is so a thing! That you have days of malaise followed by a day or two of manic productivity - that’s me! I laughed out loud when you said you wipe a wet dish across your butt to dry it before putting it away. 🤣 I love your videos. You make me laugh and I feel validated and empowered to keep at it. Thank you!
I am drawn to being sedentary. The timer has been my friend as well as audio books. I will set a timer for 5-30 minutes, depending on my schedule and pop in my ear buds and am amazed at how much I can get done. Seeing myself being productive is motivation to do more!
Ear buds, I forgot about them
I love your transparency!! I almost never dry the dishes. Mostly dried in the rack is good enough. I also used to diet incessantly (no sugar and low carb was the last one). I also hover between 130 and 140, and I've stopped white knuckling it to stay below 130. I read about intuitive eating, and decided I wanted freedom -- even if it meant saying goodbye to size 4 and hello size 8. Good enough! Because I also want a donut now and then. And to not obsess. So much happier. I also ditched that scale that ruined my days. You rock!
Speaking of Gretchen Rubin (who's lovely and well worth going to see speak/a book signing) I remember her quoting: "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good". I used to be a perfectionist/cricket but I've learned to half-ass (and ladybug/butterfly) my way through motherhood 😂 ... It's what works for our autistic&ADHD family for now while our boy is little. He likes to use my little (water&vinegar) spray mop and an e-cloth with water too as it's so much easier - and safer - than the buckets of chemicals I used before becoming a mum! I also use my vacuum cleaner to dust - the little upholstery brush 😍 and my slow cooker makes dinner for us... All these shortcuts give me less stress and more time to play with / teach our boy instead :)
The 5 min tidy makes me a tidy person!!! I dedicate 5 min per room - it’s magic!!!!
The floors are my weakness.... I don't have a threshold for when my floors are too dirty. I just want someone else to own the floor. I can do everything else. But if someone would just shampoo, vacuum, mop, & sweep that would make me complete.
I feel the same way! Couldn't agree more.
This video gave me new confidence. I wanna thank you for being so OPEN and REAL!!! I have all the same tendencies finding myself depressed and more secluded than ever. I'm really planning to take your advice to heart. Thank You
Chocolate vs broccoli, chocolate wins every time😫😆. I don’t gain weight the dryer shrinks my clothes😋
I know right! My dryer is evil, that is happening to me too.
Do dark chocolate then you feel slightly better about it:)
I've been trying to adopt a good enough mentality but it's so hard for me. This sounds mean but I say this in a joking manner to my teen "We don't do things half ass! FULL ASS! FULL ASS! Lol it's get him laughing then he fixes the thing he half assed.
It doesn't have to be perfect to be excellent.
A few separate thoughts on the topic:
1. It’s hard with kids, because you also want them to have SOME integrity, right? You want them to try their best and care about being thoughtful by doing a good job for others.
2. I wish I had been more willing to let my daughter help in the kitchen more and do other things she was too young to do very well, just to get her hooked on wanting to help or even to enjoy helping, even if it meant I had to fix a few things later when she wasn’t looking.
3: I guess we can think of the half-assed as a “rough draft” and then we edit and fine-tune from there. It gets us going without overwhelming us or giving us fear of failure.
@@jeaniedickman6421 I totally agree with you. I know that habits in childhood translate to adult habits. So I want my son's to not be half ass students or husbands or fathers or employees. It's a gentle balance between teaching them to have integrity and letting them be kids.
Hi Cass🙋🏻♀️I was religiously watching your content then I had my own channel and life got into way and haven’t watch you for the past few years. You were always talking about loosing weight and how difficult you find the process wow you succeeded 🙌Bravo my sweet friend. I put 3 kilos during Lockdowns here in England and it’s so hard to loose even one😓Have a lovely week, and I will come back for more of your videos, I definitely missed you😘💜
Yup, I TOTALLY feel you, healthy habits are harder then they sound 😜 thanks for honestly sharing! 💞😊
Thanks for the advice Cass. I tend to overwhelm myself with thoughts and never get anything done. So I will try making a list and do at least 3 things a day. I’m honestly tired of laying on the couch all day. I’m sure I’ll feel better if I get up and do something.
I had a bypass 3 years ago. I’m the same as you. I also struggle with what i put in my mouth. Candy is so good! I need to eat more protein and drink more water. It’s hard!!!
I was going to try and do EVERYTHING today Cass!! You just saved me xx
This was the most relatable video I’ve seen in a long time! Thank you sister.
Excellent video. Exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you. I am a member of the half ass club.
As someone who has waged a lifelong battle with being over weight, the best way I’ve found to combat those urges is to not have the temptation within reach (don’t buy them in the first place). 😬 Two years ago, for health reasons, I had to go off of all processed sugar (candy, baked goods, sugary drinks). That has not been a problem because I know how much I will suffer if I have even one small indulgence. However, I still struggle with potatoes, pasta and salty snacks. I have found that portion control is my best friend. Hang in there Cas, you look great. 💝
I didn’t buy the snacks all the time, because I know my temptations...my husband is the one who buys them & brings them home...it ticks me off...I need to work on that & fight it off...
Liking the video before watching it because I know it’s going to be awesome!😁
OMG! I just found you thanks to Dawn, the minimal mom, and I'm so glad I did! I need you and your videos and your tips and all of it! You give me hope in myself that I can actually do this organization thing!
Also, I too struggle with disordered eating. Always wondered if my eating and my clutter were related 🤔
Thank you for being you! ❤
I am a “burster” too! Love that expression! Great, doable tips. 👍🏼😊
OMG! PERFECTION PARALYSIS! Yes, I am very familiar with this. You so know me, it's weird. Thank you for being you, so open, encouraging, and FUNNY! The fact you are speaking from experience, being a self- admitted recovering slob just makes you understand the struggle. You are a gift and an inspiration and have helped me so much!!
I adore your honesty! It's relatable, inspiring, and refreshing! Thank you for your videos!♥️
Thank you for your honesty with your weight loss. I was 214 lb years ago and then got down to 169 lb, but it was not sustainable and after a few stressful years I ended up at 244 lb. I have been focusing on my health for 6 months and am back to my original starting point of 214 lb and hoping this time I can change my lifestyle to lose the weight and keep it off.
Best of luck to you. I want to actually feed my body, so I can hopefully feel better. This will take parenting myself. I have 75 pounds to release, so my blood sugar stops being an issue.
@@jillianguilford5191 You can do it! I am at 184 lb now!
To-do list:
Find the floor in one room today. ✅
One corner of one room.
Sometimes just making a path to what you need to get to is a start too
@@kaslyn2007 yes! I've been there. I did a massive declutter earlier in the year, so it's a simpler picking up of toys and blankets most days.
As I was watching this video, I realized that i hated emptying the dishwasher. I devised a new system for myself and it works great for me. Instead of putting each item away right away, I pull items out and place them on my countertops in the general area of where they are to go. Then I can reload the dishwasher with dirty items from my sink, and close it. One part done, then I place all clean items in there designated home. Thanks Cass for new mindset. ❤️
Love your honesty
I am UP cleaning the counter tops WHILE listening to you with ear phones! 🥰
Thank you for letting me know I'm doing it right by doing it badly.
CASS! WE HAVE WATCHED YOUR CHANNEL FOR YEARS! 💟 CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW SHOW. 🎥📺
I RECOMMEND TO GO TO OVEREATERS ANNONIMOUS. AND GET A THERAPIST. 🎓🥼
MY FRIEND ENDED UP GAINING ALL THE WEIGHT BACK AFTER 5 YEARS. 😔
I SO DONT WANT THAT FOR YOU! ALSO DO 5 MINS A DAY OF INTENTIONAL EXERCISE.🚶🏼♀️ HUGS
My tip for being more productive is to watch RUclips videos by watching them at 1.5 speed! 😂😂😂
I need to learn about this function!
Lynnette …. Pause the video, then go to the upper right screen and you will see 3 dots, tap on them and then go down to bottom, Play back speed, click and choose your speed from faster to slower speeds available. Hope this helps. 😊
Thank you for being open and honest about your weight loss journey. I too struggle very much with my temptations with junk food and it’s so hard! Keep up the good work! You’ve got this!!
I tend to add and subract compulsive eating: Like I go on a month-long binge with chipy things without stopping the chocolate, then I want to get control again, so I cut out the chips, but add in pies. Sigh.
I have type 2 diabetes. The numbers are too high. Do, I'm adding a serving each of raw vegetables and cooked vegetables and a piece of fruit daily. I eat way too much candy. I hope actually parenting myself with nutrients will help with sugar cravings.
I don't know who you are or why I clicked on this video. I've never heard of you or seen anything you've posted but I needed to stop this video and type this message.... I LOVE YOU! You are one of the realest people I've watched and you said a lot of the things I deal with. I really appreciate you and this video. I will be giving myself permission to do things bad so that I do SOMETHING. I have trouble with depression, anxiety and no motivation. Some days I can't make myself even get out of bed because I'm so overwhelmed at what needs to be done. After watching this video I actually fixed up my bed so I could get out of it, and I emptied the dish washer. I watched tv after that for a few hours, but I ultimately cleaned the kitchen before going back to bed. For me that is a lot. I feel so productive and excited about what I can get done tomorrow. I'm starting my TO DO list with 3 things, and will try to do a "freebee" if I have the energy afterwards. I just want to thank you for your words and how you addressed the things you talked about in this video. I will be watching more of your posts. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Put the “Scat Mat” on your chair. That should work. 😆
(Static shock mat meant to keep the cat off the counters.)
"I rub the dish on my butt"
Well I guess I'm not coming to dinner lol!
This video made me laugh like four times
My secret to cleaning is a shot or two. I'm serious it's enough to calm my brain and dull things slightly so I can do tasks that normally cause me to be too in my head. There is nothing worse than cleaning and your brain is going a mile a minute with so many other things you need to do or stressed over. The slight buzz is enough to calm thay and its the only time I drink so if you want a drink you clean. Hahah
Awe thanks for the heart Cass ❤
Whatever works. Lol
Sounds like you have adhd to me.
I've found cbd to be helpful for calming & focusing. It reduces anxiety & helps ease aches & pains. It puts me in a better mood so I can be more productive. Nights when I don't want to take my anti-anxiety prescription (to turn off my overactive brain so I can sleep)I find that a good cbd works just as well. 💙
I'm gonna try this when I have to clean my office at work 😆
I must say, I really appreciate your take on the "if you're going to do something, do it well!" Eye opener and a relief! Thank you!! I also am grateful for your honesty about FOODs you eat and the whole reality of loving things that are not feeding our bodies what it needs. Anyways, I'm right there with you (except I never had the surgery and am hopefully not going to need it becaus eI am trying to work on this before it's gone too far.. but still, it's very hard, and I love foods my body does not tolerate well... so.. I get that!)
You can do it. :)
Reminds me of the Simpson's episode of Sherry Bobbins, if there's a job that must be done, you'll find it much more fun to do a half assed job LOL
🤣🤣🤣
Eating disorders are common comorbidities with ADHD - our impulse control tends to be a problem! I found that doing EMDR with a therapist helped me cope with both a lot more successfully. Plus I quit nicotine, too! EMDR really is effective and a huge blessing in my life.
Thank you. I will look into that. I struggle with impulse control for sure
I dry dishes on my butt too! Thank you for being so real!
Thank you for sharing that clip at the end I really appreciate it ☺️ I've been going back and forth on wether or not to have the surgery so your input really helps 💕 Also I love your videos they're helping my daughter and I to get organized. My coworker told me about your channel ☺️
I think your a God send your an Angel 😍😇
Thank you! This helped me sooo much this morning. 💕 I didn’t realize the pressure I made up about doing everything perfectly. So cleaning this morning with lower expectations helped me just do it!!!
Haha love this! Thanks for a good laugh and some great advice Cass! I definitely find getting dressed and making the bed helps me be more productive and just setting the mood to be productive like lighting a candle or sitting somewhere quiet with a tea ☺️
Your tips are right on. I have terminal liver cancer. For about a year I was just existing. I wanted to live. I found "The FlyLady" system and started implementing the baby steps. I have more energy and my house is cleaner than what it had been in a long time. I feel better about myself. Things are getting easier. As I declutter I use your system.
I am so sorry to hear about your diagnoses. Your positive outlook is so inspiring.
Love love love how genuine and relatable you are. “I just wipe them on my butt!” 😂
Omg ! This is the most amazing wake up video on procrastination That have found me . Thank you
Thank you for keeping it real! You are darling and don't let anyone tell you different! Have a great day and a fruit smoothie! ; )
You are a riot and I really enjoy how hilariously real you are. Listening to your tips and tricks is like having coffee with a bff. Thank you for being you and sharing with us 🌺
I couldn't concentrate on anything after the word "brownie!"
😛
This is so timely. I recently feel the depression coming again. I procrastinated cleaning the kitchen. This video helped, esp the To Do List. Yes, I wrote "kitchen" as an item and I just ended up not doing it at all. I think I'm going to change it and start with just the refrigerator tomorrow.
This was an AWESOME video. I really needed this. And of course, you always make me laugh out loud. I love you, funny-ass goddess lady. So hard.
I definitely unload dishwasher like that. Rub it on my butt! Put it in the cabinet to finish drying. It hasn't killed anyone so it works for me. 😁
Best part of this video...”there is no magic bullet” either in health/fitness or in having a comfortably nest, clean home. Just gotta keep putting one foot in front of the other, and only open our mouths to talk...stop stuffing poison (carbs) into our bodies.
I stress eat and it’s carbs I crave ...I need to find a program...I did Omni 6 years ago and lost 60 pounds but have stressed most of them back on...😡 I can do this !
1. Lower expectations do things badly
2. Do things for 5 minutes
3. Only add 3-5 things on my to do list
4. Make your bed
5. Make yourself do it. Parent yourself.
Parenting yourself means doing things you're never going to feel like doing.
Act first, decide how you feel about it later!
OMG...this video hit home with me. I am a "burster" too! I have set the best plans on getting things accomplished in small chunks, but it always turns into a one day frenzy when I suddenly have a burst of energy! I feel so much better knowing I am not alone!!!!
I had the roux-en-y in 2001, I have been on a diet every single minute since. Eating is a chore for busy people, grabbing quick snacks is key for me. My starting weight was 326, I now hover between 125- 135. I know if food didn't taste so good, I would not have any problems! Proteins are key to balancing my sugars. If junk food is your struggle, as it is mine... homemade kale chips are amazing! Half-ass Cass! Why unload the dishwasher when you can just use the dishes straight out of it! Love your pep talks! I wish you luck with your diet journey, it's quite a ride!
You look amazing and yes eating is one of my biggest downfalls. Fantastic tips for being productive, Thankyou 🥰🥰
“Clean it with your sock”.... love it. I do this occasionally. Yay! I have low expectations... wait? What?! Sounds better when you say it.
Yes! But it’s so true! I have a dear friend who will let her floor get all dirty and then get out the mop and bucket. Me? As soon as I notice a spot or a spill, I’m on it. A little squirt (usually just water), a rag or paper towel, and a foot. And I’m good to go! Clean as you go. I have a bad back problem and this is a godsend.
Hi Cas, I remember your video defending your choice of being a stay home mom. You've accomplished so much more than average working-mom: loosing weight, running a daycare, having a successful RUclips channel, being an organizer, a video maker and now on television.Congratulations and thank you from a French Mom!!!
Thank you so much!
Don't let perfection get in the way of good- love that idea!
Oh wow, how can i give this video a million thumbs up extra?
Love how you "mom" me, and be a straigthforward best friend at the same time.
So glad i'm not the only one wiping the drops of water of my almost dry dishes against my shirt!
