You are so honest and you’d be surprised how many people feel like you. I’m lots older than you and still fight the big low self-esteem, low self-image cycle. Even though I know I am loved and people who truly love you, love you. You are loved too and just every single day is a new day. Only our mistakes help us learn x
Hi Tammy, in relation to vit D, it not only important to be outside for 20 minutes a day, it's also important how strong the sunlight is, you won't get much vit D if it's overcast or cloudy, please take your supplements. Low levels of vit D are also associated with depression, so it's probably affecting you that way too. P.S. You're never boring, I always enjoy your videos x
So sad, why always making excuses... never will be the right moment or situation, you have to fight and change yourself. Nobody else can do it for you but you must have the will. I hope you can do it.
I had a vitamin d level of 9 and the drs found out I can’t absorb vitamin d on my own. I now have vitamin d injections at my drs every 7 weeks and I have been doing this for 5 years. I was obese but I’ve lost 4 stone and I’m now an average week. Good luck, when your vitamin d levels are better you may find it easier to lose weight. Good luck
It's normal for any kind of content creator to feel like their content is boring, it's because you not only lived through your days (thus experiencing the footage the slowest way), but you then see it multiple times while editing. You need to remember that for us, we experience it only once, and quicker, so we won't experience it the way you do. Not boring at all!
Tammy I love your videos! They're not boring at all. Thank you for sharing your life with us - I bet you feel much better mentally once your vitamin D comes up. It really has an effect on mood! Big hugs - keep going. 😘
Oh my god, when you said "19" for vitamin D levels my jaw dropped. You should look into the effects of extremely low vitamin D on mental health! If it gets any lower than that you can start experiencing things like psychosis!
My vitamin D is... 3 😑 I have a chronic fatigue, my weight is coming off soooooo slow, I have literally zero motivation. Taking vitamins more consistently now, and feeling so much better!
@Mina Your doctor can prescribe high dose vitamin d to boost it quickly, its one pill a week for 6 weeks I believe. You should also ask your doctor about iron infusion, iron through an iv it works better than iron pills. Watch the vitamin d though because you can overdose on it. Hope you can feel better, I have trouble with all my vitamins and minerals so it's tough and really messes with how your body functions.
Tammy please don't worry about your videos...they are not boring at all! We love you and we, well I will speak for myself, have compassion and know you need to express yourself It's okay! It truly is okay! And certainly, if you ever feel that you need to take some time off, please do that! Your mental health and overall health are the most important! Don't stress yourself out further by thinking you need to film. We understand!!! You are awesome! ❤
There are always going to be low points, stresses, changes and obstacles in life and I think we need to learn to persevere through them to maintain any kind of consistency and structure. I think those difficult moments are the most important times to find some inner strength to ignore the noise around you and continue to put your mental and physical health as your number 1 priority. Please don't give up or plan for failure Tammy, even if it's temporary. Without consistency it's very hard to break patterns and make significant changes to our stubborn habits. The thing about addiction, it waits for when times are more difficult and you are distracted to creep in and make room for itself again. We've all seen how well you can do when you put your mind to it. I think if anything, getting back into a routine with healthier, balanced eating and walking will be good for your mind and help you past this mental dip more quickly than by putting those things to the side.
I wonder if you would benefit from a day planner or daily routine. i know for me sticking to a routine and planning out activities helps me. i have set errand days, set appointment days and such so i dont get overwhelmed. Also with daily life i do better staying with a routine i start my day with exercise . its helps me with my mental health and to settle anxiety issues as well. plus working on weight loss. i have meals planned out both meal plan and time schedule. bed routine turning off all social media for at least an hour before bed so i can rest. maybe take a look at what you do have power over and how to use it as a stepping stone.
Tammy don’t get discouraged. get ur vitamin D levels back to normal then focus on ur weight . dig deep inside urself and find ur fighting power to lose weight . i lost my Mom suddenly and it just about killed me . what got me thru the stress and depression was i started to work out i lost 75 pounds from working out i started walking 8 miles a day and it just helped me clear my mind and work thru my feelings then i started running i use to hate running now i love it . i put on music that motivates me and i workout it’s a huge stress reliever . you got this and if i can do this i truly believe you can and will .
Tammy, you are never boring! I wait for your videos every week with excitement! Never feel like it’s not good enough because seriously you just being you is the best thing about your content! Much love lovely 🥰
I agree with some of your other subscribers ,You are never boring ❤❤Always love what content you put out 👋👍🫶Don’t be so hard on yourself 😊 big hugs 🫂 from the States
Its good that you have that roommate Around it makes you uncomfortable to eat that is good you need to be uncomfortable to find a different solution for your anxiety ! And this Situation right now that shame you feel will force you to think of other options . I know guys this may Sound harsh but some people need to get into that Position to finally act and make a change in their life
I think I speak for many of us when I say that your content is not boring at all! If anything, it's so relaxing taking a peek into another's life. You're doing great!
The vitamin D is also related to mood. Getting your vitamin D up to a normal level would really help you feel better mentally. Have you tried D-drops or just the tablets? Do you take vitamin D with your meals? Vitamin D needs dietary fat to be absorbed since it is a fat-soluble vitamin.
Tammy your videos do not bore me at all!!! I love everything you put out! Also you legit filmed yourself going to your drum for the drum roll! That is pure comedy gold! Loved that haha! This is my first year watching Eurovision and was wondering if you were watching as well! I also just downloaded tears and am super excited to play this weekend.
"A day when we feel better again..." I feel great. Certain many other people commenting do too. You'll feel better too, once you start caring for yourself better. By eating healthy, sleeping with and not against our normal circadian rhythm, and getting the fresh air and sun exposure you need both physically and mentally.
You ate an extra week's calories in one binge so why would you loose weight? I remember you saying weighloss is a by product of your recovery and you're having a relaps right now so I don't think you should focus on this. I like your craft videos you are very creative and talented and crafting is relaxing like mindfulness...I would be here for a craft video. You could do one crafting video a week and one vlog of the highlights of your week...this might take the pressure off and I think concentrate more on your talents and positives might help while you're struggling. ✌️
I love your videos! I relate to the eating disorder content. I enjoy the artistic things you do. I LOVE your cats. Don’t change a thing with your channel! I hope you keep sharing the good days and bad. ❤
The issue with vitamin D is that in countries like Netherlands you don't get enough sun for most of the year to fill up your vitamin D storage. Even spending half a hour in the sun every day in the summer might not be enough, because we tend to use sun screen then, especially fair skinned people like you.
My vitamin D was a 3 - you have got to take your health / weight seriously. Surgery. Commitment to diet and exercise. My potassium was also low. Low D also causes inflammation in the body and wreaks havoc with your reproductive health putting you at higher risk for breast and ovarian C. I was 426 and I’m 148 now. Keto and swimming with HIIT saved my life.
@@Mr.Chedda_ when your vitamin D gets below 20 it’s always a prescription vitamin D. Severe deficiencies cannot be fixed with supplements. People like me - I was put on 50,000 IU vitamin twice per week for 12 weeks. It failed to bring my level above 8. I was put on that again for a full year. It was still only in the 15 to 16 range. Once it was in the 20’s they put me on 50,000 IU once per week till it was in the 30’s and till I’d lost a ton of weight. It was a HUGE pill for me to swallow that (among other health issues) - this was yet again something caused directly by my weight. When I got below 200 - I actually had to stop taking extra over the counter vitamin D because my levels got into the 80’s. Doc said now that the body had such little inflammation it’s able to process and utilize it. They do have 50,000 IU vitamin D on Amazon but you have to be careful. When taking it you do want your labs checked regularly. Also the over the counter is a different kind. The prescription is a gelcap -
Tammy you are number one, take care of yourself. If you need time to yourself, take it. Your followers will understand. Life is not fair some times and we need to step back and refuel. You are strong, and smart you will over come these obstacles. Take care Sweet Lemon. God bless.🍋❤🍋
For your cabinet, get a wood glue and fill the holes, then try to screw the screws back in and place duct take over the hinges temporarily for a few days until it holds tight.
Tammy have you tried intermittent fasting or an addiction treatment program or group, sugar has the ability to be as addictive as cocaine according to studies, so it's not an easy battle. Also have you watched Dr. Robert Lustig here on RUclips, extremely insightful about new findings on sugar and how it affects us and much more than I could summarize here but it's pretty revolutionary in contrast to the way sugar has been looked at across industries until recently.
I figured you were watching Eurovision!!! She was amazing❤ Looking forward to the show tonight😊 If you have a switch (i think that zelda game was for switch) you should try Flame And The Flood. I found it very fun and have replayed it several times. PS...your channel is my FAVOURITE and hope you know how many of us here just love your stories and listening to you ❤ YOU make your channel special and hope you know we'd all be here just to listen to you while you're having some rough days...no extra frills necessary😊Enjoy your weekend, zelda and eurovision❤
Tammy, your videos are not boring at all. They’re the most helpful videos for me. 🤍🤍 I gain comfort knowing that I’m not alone in my struggles. Thank you for documenting Tammy. I love being in the LemFam! Stay strong!!
Your videos are never boring, Tammy. Please don’t be so hard on yourself. When I watch your content, I feel like I’m sitting with a good friend or even a daughter, since I’m old enough to be your mom. I thoroughly enjoy your videos, sweetie. Love from Canada. 🇨🇦❤️
I'm very sorry to hear that your going through some health issues, but i hope this is a wake up call for you, you have to start making life changes, be more physically active and stop eating to much junk. I believe you can do it. You have a great platform that will support but this is on you
@@ByeByeBelly low vit d its a health issue that can cause complications on its own. But yes, also her mental health will keep declining if she continues with her life as it is.
@@oujivegeta Absolutely. Low vitamin D can be very serious and an indication of other problems. Tammy also didn't necessarily say that her blood work in general was good. Just that the doctor said other than Vit D nothing was too high (or low) but compared to what? Compared to how she was? Compared to a person of her weight? Compared to a healthy standard or to an unhealthy population?
i totally get the irritation of having someone around when it's usually your personal time, even if it's someone you like. it's especially irritating when you want to eat. if i'm going to over-eat or binge i *have* to be alone. if there's someone staying here, i'll sneak my own food in my own house just because i don't want anyone knowing that i'm eating. i don't want to be interrupted, either. privacy and secrecy are huge aspects of the binge for me.
Hi - appreciative long term lurker here - I had extremely low vit d and upon subsequent testing was referred to an Immunologist and was diagnosed with SLE (systemic lupus) - after medication and vit d supplementation for only just 6 mths my fatigue, anxiety and pain has decreased remarkably - love your content, presentation and cats - best wishes
@@quackquack185 aches and pain in joints - red rash on face (malar rash) hives and itchy skin - feeling of insects crawling under skin - light and sun sensitivity - elevated inflammation levels, ANA, CRP and slow infection healing often turning septic and lots of lesser issues - best wishes
@@donnanorgrove194 I have the same but no infection issues. Plus really severe fatigue and dizziness. Speckled ANA, high CRP etc etc. But the lupus antibody tests were negative so they just shrug and can't make any conclusion, but plenty of people don't have the lupus specific antibodies so..yeah.
I am sorry you are not feeling well, but I love your content no matter what you post. I like the fact that you are real, but if you don't feel well please take a break, we will be here when you post again.
Hi Tammy! Just a reminder to take care of your Vitamin D! When I am low in D, I feel sluggish and down. When you improve your numbers, you will feel much better and energetic! And it benefits the health of our skin, hair, bones, our whole body and longterm health (preventing cancer and more)! But please don’t overdo it. Once you are done with your doctor’s prescription to catch up with your numbers, go back to a normal dose (or less with sun exposure). It is possible to take too much Vitamin D. Hope you are feeling better! The things you create are sunshine for many! 🙂☀️
I like your videos! And I don't think they are boring at all. You are very "real" and you seem like such a genuinely kind person. Your video edits are funny and make me laugh usually and I get most of what you are saying, especially the exhaustion after social interaction. You are legitimately honest about your life which is awesome. Also, I could listen to you talk (your accent) forever! and the cats are adorable and I think anyone who is as kind and gentle as you are with the kitties, is a good soul!
Hi Tammy. Your channel is not boring. Rather, it's very interesting and I find your struggles with food and binging and weight to be very relatable. Don't give up! We all have days and weeks and months that aren't the greatest. But we learn and grow from the challenges and come out stronger than before. Just take it one day at a time, and do your best. You're on track and will be fine. Onwards and Upwards! 😊 P.S. Your cats are so cute and they always make me laugh when they're doing funny things behind you. However, you might want to find a way to secure the lovely lemon vase as they could easily knock it to the floor and break it. Just a thought. 😊
I knew it was going to be Zelda before you even opened it! My daughters preordered it and have been counting down till 12 May ever since. Now it's arrived, and they will be shut away in their rooms for days playing it...
I’m sorry but it’s a bit ridiculous to complain about a supplement that costs you €8 a month after spending god knows how much on binge food and video games. Get a grip.
The roommate situation- I know u said it has u really stressed out but in the real world and adult life, there will ALWAYS *ALWAYS* be a new stressor around the corner. I would just be careful “putting off weight loss” efforts due to stress being too much, because that will hold you back indefinitely, because again: stresses will continue to arise all the time in life Yes work hard on those healthy coping mechanisms yiu said you want to try, keep with therapy. Work with the therapist on goals in this area And I know you said you have a hard time being physical/doing physical things/going on your reccommended daily walks, but sedentary lifestyle is a huge walk against weight loss and I encourage you to exercise!!
Did your doctor discuss that Vitamin C can assist with the absoprtion of Vitamin D? Could be worth taking a Vitamin C supplement or consuming more Vitamin C rich foods and seeing if that helps at all. Just a suggestion though so maybe discuss with your doctor :)
I am happy to see your videos every time, most of us are. Your happiness is our priority and not our "entertainment" I hope we all agree on that. Take a break if you feel tired we will be here waiting for you to come back with your sweet smile, your anxiety, your failures and your successes. About vitamin D some things: I take vitamin supplements about 3 years now, I live in Greece but I don't go out of the house often so my vitamin D was low. You can't take enough D from sun, only if you sunbathe for long hours and you don't wash after. If you take vitamin D in order to up your levels you have to take big quantities, I take 4000 IU every day and its not expensive. As an example my medication is Lamberts Vit D 4000 IU 120 capsules whitch costs around 30 euros and lasts 4 months! But be very careful! Vitamin D uses a lot of your Magnesium so you have to take magnesium as well, ask your doctor about that. Magnesium helped me a lot with sleep and tinittus but with muscle pains. Vitamin D and B12 helped me A LOT with depression, B12 helped me a lot with my energy levels also. Ask your doctor to prescribe those vitamins or do the test for those vitamins, although B 12 and magnesium are water soluble and you can't overmedicate on them. Sorry for the lengthy message, I send you a big hug with my short arms and wish you great health in every way.
Tammy, I agree with the doctor's concern about your extremely low Vitamin D level. Vitamin D deficiency is quite common and does NOT get enough attention. Many studies have shown that those with Vitamin D deficiency are more likely to die from COVID-19. It's clear to me that your current Vitamin D3 supplementation regimen is not enough. Keep in mind that being heavy means that you likely need more Vitamin D3 supplementation than lighter people do. Not everyone's bodies has the same response to the same amount of Vitamin D supplementation. Fortunately, Vitamin D deficiency is MUCH easier to correct than unhealthy blood cholesterol levels, unhealthy blood sugar levels, and obesity. Tammy, I'm not a doctor, but I have some suggestions: 1. Ask your doctor about my suggestions. I'm sure that he/she would back me up on all or most of them. 2. Take Vitamin D3 supplements. That's D3. Do NOT take Vitamin D2 supplements. D3 is far superior. 3. Use oil-filled Vitamin D3 supplements. Vitamin D3 is fat soluble. Without fat, the Vitamin D3 will NOT be dissolved. If you're taking capsules, then pour the contents into food containing fat, such as peanut butter or yogurt. If you're taking tablets, break them apart and mix the pieces into food containing fat. 4. Aim for 150 to 200 nmol/L, the upper part of the normal range. 75 nmol/L is just the bare minimum to keep out of the high risk category. 5. Take up to 20,000 IUs per day for a few weeks to ramp up your Vitamin D level and then cut back to a maintenance dose. 6. For every 25 nmol/L that you need to increase your Vitamin D level, your maintenance dosage should be increased by 1000 IUs per day. Given that you're currently at only 19 nmol/L, your current dosage is MUCH too low. If you're currently taking 1000 IUs per day, you should increase that maintenance dosage to more like 6000 IUs per day. Please note that there's a chance you need more like 10,000 IUs per day. 7. You may need multiple cycles of adjusting your dosage and retesting. 8. If you lose lots of weight, you may need to reduce your Vitamin D3 supplementation. (You'll still need some - just not as much.)
They’re normal if you’ve lost a significant amount of weight and are doing the same things nutrition or exercise wise, but it seems Tammy it’s binge eating more often. Of course it will be hard to start losing weight after that but this isn’t a natural plateau. It is a self induced one
So her therapy is failing her maybe, because she keeps doing the same things as before, repeating the cycles. It's not about being negative/toxic towards her but this seems to be going for a long time already with very little improvement, she requires a professional dietitian to guide her on eating healthy whole foods, and encouragement to start an active lifestyle. Otherwise this will never change.
@@vickiemouse2359 Positive support is helpful but irrelevant comments can just confuse and enable. Sure weight loss plateaus are normal, even expected but when someone regularly binges, eats unhealthy, and doesn't sleep according to our circadian rhythm causing even more unnecessary stress not losing weight is not a plateaus. It does make a "sensational" video title and filler content.
OMMMG HELLO FROM YOUR NR FAN FROM ESTONIA AND THANK U FOR ACKNOWLEDGING HOW TALENTED ALIKA IS!! she's only 20, won "Estonian Idol" in 2021 and as a tiny country we were all kind of shook by her :D
Youre lucky your blood testsare good. Im 190 lbs and my cholesterol and blood pressure, inflammation are all high. My vitamin D was 20 and i was going outside, walking. I took 4000IU per day when I was pregnant and was still only 37 a few months later. People with obesity tend to need more. You need direct sunlight onto your skin to synthesize it, cloudy overcast days dont really work, and sunshine through any kind of glass like a window doesnt work
Yes. You do need your blood test results "the whole document" so you can check and track your numbers. Particularly your A1C. Do you mind sharing what it is and what it was for your last test?
Please consider asking your doctor if there could be other minerals/vitamins that you are lacking, that makes your body unable to use the vitamin D you are providing it. I personally drained my magnesium supply because I took vitamin D for a year and we only realized because my vitamin D started diving again. Calcium is another mineral that vitamin D usually hangs out with a lot so to say 😊 Enjoy your game, Tammy! And hey, if you need to upload less during these stressing times, I don't think your audience will be mad? I won't at least, it sounds like a lot of stuff is going on around you. 💜
Tammy none of your videos are boring MANY of us look forward to them, i know i do if that means anything. Please don't think that you are. I was wondering if you've ever tried doing yoga for your mental health i know it does help & it's veeery relaxing! 😊Thanks for sharing & please take your vitamins you'll feel alot better also you'd be surprised at what drinking water does to your body trust me you feel the difference even drinking 4 8 ouce glasses a day. Have a Gr8 weekend & 💐Happy🌷Mothers 🌷Day 💐
Ik weet niet of dit al in de reacties is gezegd en ik weet ook niet of je magnesium slikt. Maar mocht je nog geen magnesium slikken, kan dit ook helpen bij vitamine D. Omdat magnesium ervoor zorgt dat vitamine D kan worden omgezet naar een bruikbare stof in je lichaam en dus ook mogelijk tekort kan worden aangevuld. En die vermoeidheid van een enorm laag vitamine D is zo enorm herkenbaar, ik hoop voor je dat de vitamine D boosts van de huisarts gaan helpen!!
About the Vitamin D. Vitamin D needs Magnesium and Vitamin K2 otherwise the body can't use the Vitamin D properly...it can't get into your cells. Also I am not sure how much Vitamin D you are supplementing ....you need a lot considering your weight. For example...I weigh 80kg and need to take 10000ie Vitamin D daily to have a Vitamin D level of 87. Another thing about getting enough Vitamin D naturally...those 10 to 15 min are not working even on a non cloudy day and bud naked without any protection! You have to spend a lot more time in the bright sunlight.
Wow, I just wrote the same things! I live in Greece and can't get enough sunlight because I don't go out often, everything you said about Magnesium is absolutely right, I found out the hard way. I take 4000 IU mostly every day and I am 95 kilos and one magnesium shot every night!
My vitamin D level was 11 and I was extremely tired and lethargic and generally felt unwell but once I got it up I started to lose weight again....a low vitamin D level can make it hard to lose weight. I had to take 50,000 iu per week and still have to nearly 2 years later bc I have a malabsorption problem from intestinal inflammation bc I have lupus....you could possibly have intestinal inflammation and malabsorption due to highly processed foods and/or refined carbohydrates. If you were concerned about that you could have them check your inflammatory markers if they haven't already

Low levels of vit D are also associated with depression, so it's probably affecting you that way too.

Also, I think the daily 20 minutes is with a lot of skin exposed and that is hard to do in cold climates!
So sad, why always making excuses... never will be the right moment or situation, you have to fight and change yourself. Nobody else can do it for you but you must have the will. I hope you can do it.
I had a vitamin d level of 9 and the drs found out I can’t absorb vitamin d on my own. I now have vitamin d injections at my drs every 7 weeks and I have been doing this for 5 years.

I hope Tammy is doing alright, I'm looking forward to seeing new videos ❤
For your vitamin D supplements xx
But Tammy , you just purchased game and you thinking about vitamins D is too expensive? Really????
Oh my god, when you said "19" for vitamin D levels my jaw dropped. You should look into the effects of extremely low vitamin D on mental health! If it gets any lower than that you can start experiencing things like psychosis!
Your doctor can prescribe vitamin D!
My vitamin D is... 3 😑 I have a chronic fatigue, my weight is coming off soooooo slow, I have literally zero motivation. Taking vitamins more consistently now, and feeling so much better!
@Mina Your doctor can prescribe high dose vitamin d to boost it quickly, its one pill a week for 6 weeks I believe. You should also ask your doctor about iron infusion, iron through an iv it works better than iron pills. Watch the vitamin d though because you can overdose on it. Hope you can feel better, I have trouble with all my vitamins and minerals so it's tough and really messes with how your body functions.
It's not that low and what do you expect she doesn't go out of the house
In the US- the low range of normal is 30. Mine had gotten down to 5 and I was experiencing a lot of joint pain. You can buy it over the counter D3
Tammy please don't worry about your videos...they are not boring at all! We love you and we, well I will speak for myself, have compassion and know you need to express yourself It's okay! It truly is okay! And certainly, if you ever feel that you need to take some time off, please do that! Your mental health and overall health are the most important!

Thank You for this channel, Tammy Lemon..You are the most authentic RUclipsr ever!🙏🙏🙏
There are always going to be low points, stresses, changes and obstacles in life and I think we need to learn to persevere through them to maintain any kind of consistency and structure. I think those difficult moments are the most important times to find some inner strength to ignore the noise around you and continue to put your mental and physical health as your number 1 priority. Please don't give up or plan for failure Tammy, even if it's temporary. Without consistency it's very hard to break patterns and make significant changes to our stubborn habits. The thing about addiction, it waits for when times are more difficult and you are distracted to creep in and make room for itself again. We've all seen how well you can do when you put your mind to it. I think if anything, getting back into a routine with healthier, balanced eating and walking will be good for your mind and help you past this mental dip more quickly than by putting those things to the side.
Well said! I agree! 😊
The drum roll cutaway is GOLD 💛 I always love your videos Tammy 🍋
I wonder if you would benefit from a day planner or daily routine. i know for me sticking to a routine and planning out activities helps me. i have set errand days, set appointment days and such so i dont get overwhelmed. Also with daily life i do better staying with a routine i start my day with exercise . its helps me with my mental health and to settle anxiety issues as well. plus working on weight loss. i have meals planned out both meal plan and time schedule. bed routine turning off all social media for at least an hour before bed so i can rest. maybe take a look at what you do have power over and how to use it as a stepping stone.
Tammy don’t get discouraged. get ur vitamin D levels back to normal then focus on ur weight . dig deep inside urself and find ur fighting power to lose weight . i lost my Mom suddenly and it just about killed me . what got me thru the stress and depression was i started to work out i lost 75 pounds from working out i started walking 8 miles a day and it just helped me clear my mind and work thru my feelings then i started running i use to hate running now i love it . i put on music that motivates me and i workout it’s a huge stress reliever . you got this and if i can do this i truly believe you can and will .

I don't find your videos boring even if you feel like they are, I've watched them all because I'm rooting for you and I just like how you talk to us 😊
"A day when we feel better again..."
I feel great. Certain many other people commenting do too. You'll feel better too, once you start caring for yourself better. By eating healthy, sleeping with and not against our normal circadian rhythm, and getting the fresh air and sun exposure you need both physically and mentally.
You ate an extra week's calories in one binge so why would you loose weight? I remember you saying weighloss is a by product of your recovery and you're having a relaps right now so I don't think you should focus on this. I like your craft videos you are very creative and talented and crafting is relaxing like mindfulness...I would be here for a craft video. You could do one crafting video a week and one vlog of the highlights of your week...this might take the pressure off and I think concentrate more on your talents and positives might help while you're struggling. ✌️
I love your videos! I relate to the eating disorder content. I enjoy the artistic things you do. I LOVE your cats. Don’t change a thing with your channel! I hope you keep sharing the good days and bad. ❤
you haven't uploaded new videos yet..hope you're okay..
I love your sense of humour. Vitamin D deficiency is very common, even amongst paler skinned people. I'm sure the supplements will help!
The issue with vitamin D is that in countries like Netherlands you don't get enough sun for most of the year to fill up your vitamin D storage. Even spending half a hour in the sun every day in the summer might not be enough, because we tend to use sun screen then, especially fair skinned people like you.
Low vitamin D also mimics depression and bipolar symptoms!
Yes tammy, its never too late to try again❤❤❤
The drumroll 😭🤣🤣💀
Your videos are never boring. They are real and honest and we always like hearing from you, no matter what.....lots of love from Germany
"Duct tape fixes everything. If it isn't fixed, you need more duct tape" 😄
My vitamin D was a 3 - you have got to take your health / weight seriously. Surgery. Commitment to diet and exercise. My potassium was also low. Low D also causes inflammation in the body and wreaks havoc with your reproductive health putting you at higher risk for breast and ovarian C.
I was 426 and I’m 148 now.
Keto and swimming with HIIT saved my life.
did you start taking supplements? if so what was the dosage?
@@Mr.Chedda_ when your vitamin D gets below 20 it’s always a prescription vitamin D. Severe deficiencies cannot be fixed with supplements.
People like me - I was put on 50,000 IU vitamin twice per week for 12 weeks. It failed to bring my level above 8. I was put on that again for a full year. It was still only in the 15 to 16 range. Once it was in the 20’s they put me on 50,000 IU once per week till it was in the 30’s and till I’d lost a ton of weight.
It was a HUGE pill for me to swallow that (among other health issues) - this was yet again something caused directly by my weight.
When I got below 200 - I actually had to stop taking extra over the counter vitamin D because my levels got into the 80’s. Doc said now that the body had such little inflammation it’s able to process and utilize it.
They do have 50,000 IU vitamin D on Amazon but you have to be careful. When taking it you do want your labs checked regularly. Also the over the counter is a different kind. The prescription is a gelcap -
Tammy you are number one, take care of yourself. If you need time to yourself, take it. Your followers will understand. Life is not fair some times and we need to step back and refuel. You are strong, and smart you will over come these obstacles. Take care Sweet Lemon. God bless.🍋❤🍋
For your cabinet, get a wood glue and fill the holes, then try to screw the screws back in and place duct take over the hinges temporarily for a few days until it holds tight.
I enjoy your updates 😊 You keep it real. Hope you feel better soon
Tammy have you tried intermittent fasting or an addiction treatment program or group, sugar has the ability to be as addictive as cocaine according to studies, so it's not an easy battle. Also have you watched Dr. Robert Lustig here on RUclips, extremely insightful about new findings on sugar and how it affects us and much more than I could summarize here but it's pretty revolutionary in contrast to the way sugar has been looked at across industries until recently.
I look forward to your videos so much, they always make my day!! 🥰
You are not boring at all and you are strong to share your struggle. Relax and enjoy your new game this weekend.
The running down the stairs, the face, the banging on the drum, Girl you are hilarious!
I figured you were watching Eurovision!!! She was amazing❤ Looking forward to the show tonight😊
If you have a switch (i think that zelda game was for switch) you should try Flame And The Flood. I found it very fun and have replayed it several times.
PS...your channel is my FAVOURITE and hope you know how many of us here just love your stories and listening to you ❤ YOU make your channel special and hope you know we'd all be here just to listen to you while you're having some rough days...no extra frills necessary😊Enjoy your weekend, zelda and eurovision❤
Tammy, your videos are not boring at all. They’re the most helpful videos for me. 🤍🤍 I gain comfort knowing that I’m not alone in my struggles. Thank you for documenting Tammy. I love being in the LemFam! Stay strong!!
Your videos are great!!! And never ever boring!!! Chin up girl😊
Your videos are never boring, Tammy. Please don’t be so hard on yourself. When I watch your content, I feel like I’m sitting with a good friend or even a daughter, since I’m old enough to be your mom. I thoroughly enjoy your videos, sweetie. Love from Canada. 🇨🇦❤️
I'm very sorry to hear that your going through some health issues, but i hope this is a wake up call for you, you have to start making life changes, be more physically active and stop eating to much junk. I believe you can do it. You have a great platform that will support but this is on you
She said her blood tests were good, just low vit d, so I'm not sure what you mean by health issues, unless you mean the binge eating disorder
@@ByeByeBelly low vit d its a health issue that can cause complications on its own. But yes, also her mental health will keep declining if she continues with her life as it is.
@@oujivegeta Absolutely. Low vitamin D can be very serious and an indication of other problems.
Tammy also didn't necessarily say that her blood work in general was good. Just that the doctor said other than Vit D nothing was too high (or low) but compared to what? Compared to how she was? Compared to a person of her weight? Compared to a healthy standard or to an unhealthy population?
i totally get the irritation of having someone around when it's usually your personal time, even if it's someone you like. it's especially irritating when you want to eat. if i'm going to over-eat or binge i *have* to be alone. if there's someone staying here, i'll sneak my own food in my own house just because i don't want anyone knowing that i'm eating. i don't want to be interrupted, either. privacy and secrecy are huge aspects of the binge for me.
Hi - appreciative long term lurker here - I had extremely low vit d and upon subsequent testing was referred to an Immunologist and was diagnosed with SLE (systemic lupus) - after medication and vit d supplementation for only just 6 mths my fatigue, anxiety and pain has decreased remarkably - love your content, presentation and cats - best wishes
Did you have any other symptoms for them to test for lupus?
@@quackquack185 aches and pain in joints - red rash on face (malar rash) hives and itchy skin - feeling of insects crawling under skin - light and sun sensitivity - elevated inflammation levels, ANA, CRP and slow infection healing often turning septic and lots of lesser issues - best wishes
@@donnanorgrove194 I have the same but no infection issues. Plus really severe fatigue and dizziness. Speckled ANA, high CRP etc etc. But the lupus antibody tests were negative so they just shrug and can't make any conclusion, but plenty of people don't have the lupus specific antibodies so..yeah.
I am sorry you are not feeling well, but I love your content no matter what you post. I like the fact that you are real, but if you don't feel well please take a break, we will be here when you post again.
Hi Tammy! Just a reminder to take care of your Vitamin D! When I am low in D, I feel sluggish and down. When you improve your numbers, you will feel much better and energetic! And it benefits the health of our skin, hair, bones, our whole body and longterm health (preventing cancer and more)! But please don’t overdo it. Once you are done with your doctor’s prescription to catch up with your numbers, go back to a normal dose (or less with sun exposure). It is possible to take too much Vitamin D. Hope you are feeling better! The things you create are sunshine for many! 🙂☀️
That song you recommended (Bridges) is so good. I'm obsessed with it. Thank you.
I appreciate and admire you. You will get through whatever this is. You have the tools.
I like your videos! And I don't think they are boring at all. You are very "real" and you seem like such a genuinely kind person. Your video edits are funny and make me laugh usually and I get most of what you are saying, especially the exhaustion after social interaction. You are legitimately honest about your life which is awesome. Also, I could listen to you talk (your accent) forever! and the cats are adorable and I think anyone who is as kind and gentle as you are with the kitties, is a good soul!
Happy Mothers day to all with kids either 4 legged or 2 legged. Always good to see you Tammy. Have a good weekend.
Hi Tammy. Your channel is not boring. Rather, it's very interesting and I find your struggles with food and binging and weight to be very relatable.
Don't give up! We all have days and weeks and months that aren't the greatest. But we learn and grow from the challenges and come out stronger than before.
Just take it one day at a time, and do your best. You're on track and will be fine. Onwards and Upwards! 😊
P.S. Your cats are so cute and they always make me laugh when they're doing funny things behind you. However, you might want to find a way to secure the lovely lemon vase as they could easily knock it to the floor and break it. Just a thought. 😊
04:41 I LOLed so hard!! 😅😅
I knew it was going to be Zelda before you even opened it! My daughters preordered it and have been counting down till 12 May ever since. Now it's arrived, and they will be shut away in their rooms for days playing it...
I’m sorry but it’s a bit ridiculous to complain about a supplement that costs you €8 a month after spending god knows how much on binge food and video games. Get a grip.
Lmfao exactly
She didn’t complain tho
We love your videos.❤
HAS ANYONE KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH TAMMY AND HER CHANNEL?
TAMMY PLS. TELL US WHETHER YOU'RE COMING BACK OR NOT. DONT LEAVE US HANGING
Yes, Tammy said she is planning to make more content, but she is taking mental health break 🙂🍋✨
I am glad she will be back. I miss her
Maybe you can be put on Ozempic/ Metformin, check with an Endocrinologist
Plus take d3+k2
I love love love your videos!! You are so funny, cute and real. Keep it up!
The roommate situation- I know u said it has u really stressed out but in the real world and adult life, there will ALWAYS *ALWAYS* be a new stressor around the corner. I would just be careful “putting off weight loss” efforts due to stress being too much, because that will hold you back indefinitely, because again: stresses will continue to arise all the time in life
Yes work hard on those healthy coping mechanisms yiu said you want to try, keep with therapy. Work with the therapist on goals in this area
And I know you said you have a hard time being physical/doing physical things/going on your reccommended daily walks, but sedentary lifestyle is a huge walk against weight loss and I encourage you to exercise!!
Wall*
Make sure to take magnesium with D - glad you got tested !
love your videos 🥰 i always sing (or pretend to sing) during your intros 🤭🤐
Did your doctor discuss that Vitamin C can assist with the absoprtion of Vitamin D? Could be worth taking a Vitamin C supplement or consuming more Vitamin C rich foods and seeing if that helps at all. Just a suggestion though so maybe discuss with your doctor :)
16:55 thank you I really needed to hear this! 💛
I am happy to see your videos every time, most of us are. Your happiness is our priority and not our "entertainment" I hope we all agree on that. Take a break if you feel tired we will be here waiting for you to come back with your sweet smile, your anxiety, your failures and your successes. About vitamin D some things: I take vitamin supplements about 3 years now, I live in Greece but I don't go out of the house often so my vitamin D was low. You can't take enough D from sun, only if you sunbathe for long hours and you don't wash after. If you take vitamin D in order to up your levels you have to take big quantities, I take 4000 IU every day and its not expensive. As an example my medication is Lamberts Vit D 4000 IU 120 capsules whitch costs around 30 euros and lasts 4 months! But be very careful! Vitamin D uses a lot of your Magnesium so you have to take magnesium as well, ask your doctor about that. Magnesium helped me a lot with sleep and tinittus but with muscle pains. Vitamin D and B12 helped me A LOT with depression, B12 helped me a lot with my energy levels also. Ask your doctor to prescribe those vitamins or do the test for those vitamins, although B 12 and magnesium are water soluble and you can't overmedicate on them. Sorry for the lengthy message, I send you a big hug with my short arms and wish you great health in every way.
I look forward to your videos.....thank you🥰
it's not a plateau if you're not doing the things that make you lose weight
Too many words for a bumper sticker, but damn that's true!
Tammy, I agree with the doctor's concern about your extremely low Vitamin D level. Vitamin D deficiency is quite common and does NOT get enough attention. Many studies have shown that those with Vitamin D deficiency are more likely to die from COVID-19. It's clear to me that your current Vitamin D3 supplementation regimen is not enough. Keep in mind that being heavy means that you likely need more Vitamin D3 supplementation than lighter people do. Not everyone's bodies has the same response to the same amount of Vitamin D supplementation.
Fortunately, Vitamin D deficiency is MUCH easier to correct than unhealthy blood cholesterol levels, unhealthy blood sugar levels, and obesity.
Tammy, I'm not a doctor, but I have some suggestions:
1. Ask your doctor about my suggestions. I'm sure that he/she would back me up on all or most of them.
2. Take Vitamin D3 supplements. That's D3. Do NOT take Vitamin D2 supplements. D3 is far superior.
3. Use oil-filled Vitamin D3 supplements. Vitamin D3 is fat soluble. Without fat, the Vitamin D3 will NOT be dissolved. If you're taking capsules, then pour the contents into food containing fat, such as peanut butter or yogurt. If you're taking tablets, break them apart and mix the pieces into food containing fat.
4. Aim for 150 to 200 nmol/L, the upper part of the normal range. 75 nmol/L is just the bare minimum to keep out of the high risk category.
5. Take up to 20,000 IUs per day for a few weeks to ramp up your Vitamin D level and then cut back to a maintenance dose.
6. For every 25 nmol/L that you need to increase your Vitamin D level, your maintenance dosage should be increased by 1000 IUs per day. Given that you're currently at only 19 nmol/L, your current dosage is MUCH too low. If you're currently taking 1000 IUs per day, you should increase that maintenance dosage to more like 6000 IUs per day. Please note that there's a chance you need more like 10,000 IUs per day.
7. You may need multiple cycles of adjusting your dosage and retesting.
8. If you lose lots of weight, you may need to reduce your Vitamin D3 supplementation. (You'll still need some - just not as much.)
Uhhh… is there a TL/dr version of this. I’m interested in reading it but I have severe adhd
Vitamin D is so connected to depression and mood too. Once you get your D up I think you will feel so much better too!
Weight loss plateau’s are very normal!
Not that much at her size, she overeats oftentimes
They’re normal if you’ve lost a significant amount of weight and are doing the same things nutrition or exercise wise, but it seems Tammy it’s binge eating more often. Of course it will be hard to start losing weight after that but this isn’t a natural plateau. It is a self induced one
@@roxazaloah I try to keep my comments really positive!
I think the encouragement is more helpful.
It doesn’t seem like she had a good childhood….
So her therapy is failing her maybe, because she keeps doing the same things as before, repeating the cycles. It's not about being negative/toxic towards her but this seems to be going for a long time already with very little improvement, she requires a professional dietitian to guide her on eating healthy whole foods, and encouragement to start an active lifestyle. Otherwise this will never change.
@@vickiemouse2359 Positive support is helpful but irrelevant comments can just confuse and enable.
Sure weight loss plateaus are normal, even expected but when someone regularly binges, eats unhealthy, and doesn't sleep according to our circadian rhythm causing even more unnecessary stress not losing weight is not a plateaus.
It does make a "sensational" video title and filler content.
I think the vitamin D supplements will also help your mental health. I hope you feel better soon!
Hi, I love your videos very much🌺
OMMMG HELLO FROM YOUR NR FAN FROM ESTONIA AND THANK U FOR ACKNOWLEDGING HOW TALENTED ALIKA IS!! she's only 20, won "Estonian Idol" in 2021 and as a tiny country we were all kind of shook by her :D
Did you check your thyroid? It’s often connected with wit d deficiency.
Yup this is true
Enjoy zelda! Ill be playing too.❤🍋
Youre lucky your blood testsare good. Im 190 lbs and my cholesterol and blood pressure, inflammation are all high. My vitamin D was 20 and i was going outside, walking. I took 4000IU per day when I was pregnant and was still only 37 a few months later. People with obesity tend to need more. You need direct sunlight onto your skin to synthesize it, cloudy overcast days dont really work, and sunshine through any kind of glass like a window doesnt work
The thing is that the body might not absorb D vitamin. You have to look into this more. I can’t remember, but it should be absorberd properly.
hey, I actually have been having a hard day. Thank you. Hang in there.
Yes. You do need your blood test results "the whole document" so you can check and track your numbers. Particularly your A1C. Do you mind sharing what it is and what it was for your last test?
Yes. I was so happy to not hear your blood sugar levels are high.
That drum!!!!😂😂😂😂
Please consider asking your doctor if there could be other minerals/vitamins that you are lacking, that makes your body unable to use the vitamin D you are providing it.
I personally drained my magnesium supply because I took vitamin D for a year and we only realized because my vitamin D started diving again. Calcium is another mineral that vitamin D usually hangs out with a lot so to say 😊
Enjoy your game, Tammy! And hey, if you need to upload less during these stressing times, I don't think your audience will be mad? I won't at least, it sounds like a lot of stuff is going on around you. 💜
Does obesity run in your family? Like are your siblings obese as well? Genetics can make it a lot harder to maintain healthy weight.
I have that too with my cheeks even when i was thin
Tammy none of your videos are boring MANY of us look forward to them, i know i do if that means anything. Please don't think that you are. I was wondering if you've ever tried doing yoga for your mental health i know it does help & it's veeery relaxing! 😊Thanks for sharing & please take your vitamins you'll feel alot better also you'd be surprised at what drinking water does to your body trust me you feel the difference even drinking 4 8 ouce glasses a day. Have a Gr8 weekend & 💐Happy🌷Mothers 🌷Day 💐
Ik weet niet of dit al in de reacties is gezegd en ik weet ook niet of je magnesium slikt. Maar mocht je nog geen magnesium slikken, kan dit ook helpen bij vitamine D. Omdat magnesium ervoor zorgt dat vitamine D kan worden omgezet naar een bruikbare stof in je lichaam en dus ook mogelijk tekort kan worden aangevuld. En die vermoeidheid van een enorm laag vitamine D is zo enorm herkenbaar, ik hoop voor je dat de vitamine D boosts van de huisarts gaan helpen!!
I enjoy your videos 💛✌🏻🍋
Somehow my comment disappeared...it was just about Vitamin D, nothing offensiv and I'am a little bit confused about that...
About the Vitamin D. Vitamin D needs Magnesium and Vitamin K2 otherwise the body can't use the Vitamin D properly...it can't get into your cells. Also I am not sure how much Vitamin D you are supplementing ....you need a lot considering your weight. For example...I weigh 80kg and need to take 10000ie Vitamin D daily to have a Vitamin D level of 87. Another thing about getting enough Vitamin D naturally...those 10 to 15 min are not working even on a non cloudy day and bud naked without any protection! You have to spend a lot more time in the bright sunlight.
Wow, I just wrote the same things! I live in Greece and can't get enough sunlight because I don't go out often, everything you said about Magnesium is absolutely right, I found out the hard way. I take 4000 IU mostly every day and I am 95 kilos and one magnesium shot every night!
Get a vit d prescription....one pill once a week..50.000 units once a week..please get on it...I love it!
Tammy, I love your videos ❤
My vitamin D level was 11 and I was extremely tired and lethargic and generally felt unwell but once I got it up I started to lose weight again....a low vitamin D level can make it hard to lose weight. I had to take 50,000 iu per week and still have to nearly 2 years later bc I have a malabsorption problem from intestinal inflammation bc I have lupus....you could possibly have intestinal inflammation and malabsorption due to highly processed foods and/or refined carbohydrates. If you were concerned about that you could have them check your inflammatory markers if they haven't already
Hey how are you doing lately Tammy?
I think I have possibly fallen more in love with the night sky
Wtf??
love that song ❤️
You’re never boring ❤
