Yay, I'm so happy that you have this opportunity to move on to a job you're excited about! That's a game changer for mental health for sure. You can't set yourself on fire to keep someone else warm.
I'm so happy for you, and I will keep watching, whether if this is a weight loss channel or not 😊 It's ok to take a backseat from weight loss and focus on your mental health. You're doing awesome!
So happy for your new job and home. The beginning of this year has been challenging for many, for me too. I'm also starting again. Good luck to new beginnings.
Great to see a new video from you and hear such nice news! The intake specialist job sounds like a fantastic fit. Proud of you for moving on. But even more proud that you are going to get counseling! Yesssss
YAY! Love new adventures, Moving, More nature, and new challenges! I really want to see your face more in the coming times and see your new place! Also, I so very much want to see you succeed in your weight loss goals and this new life change sounds awesome for it! (I love longs hikes in nature to lose weight)
Thanks Anna! It will probably take me awhile to get back to how often I was posting before, especially with moving, but definitely planning on at least a couple videos a week! 👍🏻 and really hoping this move will motivate me to get outside and exercise more!
Thank you Laura, I absolutely love your videos. You are very insightful and have helped me identify my own 'cognitive distortions' when it comes to diet and exercise. the all or nothing way of thinking and perfectionism. These things are preventing me from getting to my health and beauty goals. Good luck in your journey. love
Congratulations on your new beginnings!!! Helping yourself can be so difficult when you’re constantly helping others. Your mental, emotional, and sometimes physical energies are being given away on a daily basis leaving very little for yourself. Going back to therapy is a wonderful thing! 💕
I’m so excited for you!!!! Sometimes moving can help you mentally reset. I keep trying to tell myself that, because moving sucks!! The new job, the therapy, the move.... this is great! This is what they talk about when they say to take care of yourself. If you feel like you’re drowning at work, you can’t pretend you’re doing “fine” at home. You’re going to have emotional spillage. If you’re good at your job, you already care. Caretakers have a tendency to forget themselves. I know kinda where you’re at, because I’m right there with you. I’m trying to keep telling myself that no journey is linear..... but I really just want to kick the person who said that!! We missed you so much💖💖💖💕💕💕 I’m so glad you’re back!! The good news is just a bonus. I really really missed you!!
Thanks so much Nicole! Missed you all too and so glad to be back! And totally agree - it’s interesting cause as a mental health clinician I KNOW how crucial self-care is to our overall wellbeing and yet it’s one of the hardest things for me to implement! 😭
@@lauralynn2847 you're gonna do so well and I commend you for having the courage to make a change when you knew you needed one. It's not an easy thing to do!
congrats on the new job. Getting the stress out will probably help with the binge eating. I finally have my own eating under control now. I finally figured out what mental block was causing this. I felt all my life that I had no value. Thru doing DDPY"s positively unstoppable challenge I finely realized "that I mattered" People in this group have lost 200, 300 lbs, just feeling this in their heart for the very first time in their lives. I had a 100 lbs. to lose. Now the weight is just falling off of me. I never thought that I would learn this invaluable lesson from a Wrestler. Diamond Dallas Page cares. I have so much support now. A great exercise and eating plan.
Girl! I soooo relate to “therapizing” yourself! I am a personal chef who SPECIALIZES in helping our clients keep up with their goals and nutritional needs and even though I KNOW the things I need to do to make this happen for myself, I hired a nutritionist to help me manage my own. Because when our energy and focus constantly goes out to others, even with an advanced skill set, I think we actually need more help for ourselves. Keep taking care of yourself and congrats on the new adventure!
I have missed you and I’m sure everyone else has too! Girl, you are in such a good place. You look so happy and so many good things are coming your way. I’m so excited for all these changes coming your way! So happy you’re back. The weight will come off. Slow and steady and we are here to support you! Congrats Laura ❤️
Congratulations on the new job, always a good idea to switch jobs if you're not enjoying it anymore, and yay to a new place! New start all round! Good to see you back!
So happy to hear of all the exciting changes happening in your life!!! A fresh start is always a great thing and can be so motivating!!! Best wishes to you!! Glad to see you are doing well! Looking forward to keeping up with all these new adventures!!!
Wow what an update. Great news about the job and moving How exciting and the fresh start will do you good. You have been busy and to do all that and start therapy you should be very proud.
Omg everything you’re describing - oof, so many of us have been there. I had completely blocked out my previous job until watching this. So. Stressful. Good job. It’s harder to leave the longer you’ve stayed, so extra extra kudos.
I was thinking about you this morning and wondering how things were going! Thank you for the update. Hope you are able to post while you are moving, but if not I will look forward to hearing from you when you are settled! Good luck on your new adventure. I pray all goes well.
I was so excited to see a notification from you! Sounds like you have an exciting next few months! I'm glad you found a job that you are looking forward to doing.
So nice to see you and Congratulations on your next chapter in everything. A lot happening but you are finding your way through.❣ love your smile and laughter, we have missed this side of you.....your excitement radiates!! So happy for you dear🤗
Thank you so much Janice! I am definitely feeling happier and more excited - I’ve just felt so bogged down and mentally drained the last 6 months so it’s nice to feel some of the spark come back 🤗
Thanks Angela! I’m actually feeling really excited about going back to therapy and having that support, I just kept putting it off because of how busy I was but finally was like, nope! Therapy has to take priority!
Yayyyyy Laura is back and for the weight loss? - look lifestyle change is in progress for your mental state so I know you’ll do well in therapy and everything else will fall into place ❤️
Thanks Marie! And I will be uploading the weigh in this week. Basically starting over from scratch in terms of weight loss but that’s okay - I got this! 💪🏻
Congrats on the new job and the upcoming move! Very stressful for sure but it will be so worth it once everything is settled! Also way to be honest about the last 2 months and your struggles. All part of the journey that is life 😁 we don't watch just for the weightloss journey but your honesty about real life!
Thanks Lauren! I’m super excited and actually hoping the move will help with the weight loss aspect since there will be tons of flower gardens, beautiful parks and nature trails and hoping that will inspire me to get out and exercise more 😁🤞🏻
@@lauralynn2847 keep us updated, I can live vicariously through you with all the excitment! I'm excited for you 🤗 being outdoors when it is pretty out there makes me happy too!!
I've always struggled to find therapists who want to really dig into addressing my eating disorder, even the therapists who claim to specialize in ED's only seemed to touch the surface. I hope you have a fulfilling experience with your therapist. Congrats on the job. 💗 I've been in your shoes many times when it comes to stepping on the scale and just wanting to break down. I know how you're feeling. Big hugs. And good luck with the move.
Thank you! And totally agree - I think I have a leg up in the sense I am much more aware of my triggers, thoughts patterns and skills I need to build that cause or exacerbate my ED, and addressing eating disorders is generally about identifying those types of things and working through them. It’s just exhausting trying to therapize myself 24/7! And being a therapist myself I’m not afraid to let my voice be heard when treatment planning 😂 but can definitely understand how hard that would be if you’re struggling with an ED and can’t find a therapist who’s confident in their ability to help you...
Huge congratulations! 🎉🎊🎉🎊 in my experience a fresh start helps also with weight loss, it definitely did for me - nothing worse than being unhappy, stressed and frustrated 😥
Thank you Simona! And I’m hoping it will as well, especially since there will be so many parks and flower gardens to inspire me to spend more time outside walking 😁
Oh wow, what an update! I’m glad you went with the job offer that felt best... it’s not always about finances. I’m glad you chose something that would make you happy! Best of luck with the preparations for the move. I’ve had to stay at a temporary place for two months before while in between places... my son and I shared this little room with two twin beds in it at this cat lady’s house. 😆🤭🐈🐈🐈🐈
Welcome back! Sounds like you had a lot going on and I totally understand taking a break from RUclips and weight loss for that. Those were some big stressful life decisions. I've been looking to move and its caused a weight loss stall for sure, but I figure its ok to focus on other things when your life is in flux
Thank you! It may take me a little while to get back to how much I was uploading before with moving and everything but definitely aiming for at least a couple vids a week 😁
I’m so happy you’re back! I also recently moved and my weight loss went downhill - no home cooked meals or exercise for 6 weeks while my kitchen was a building site. Loads of stress too. I don’t dare weight myself but obviously I feel on my clothes that I have put on weight. I started doing kcal counting and doing exercise this week and I’m planning to weight myself on June 1st.
Thank you! That’s one of the things I’m worried about too these next couple months...but I’m hoping once I’m there I’ll be more motivated to get outside and walk because of all the beautiful parks, gardens, nature trails, etc.
Silent subscriber here 🙌🏻😅 I live in Spokane (not sure if this is the area you’re moving too) but I love it here and if this is the area you’re moving too I hope you love it as well! Tons of great outdoor things to do and things to do in general! Hope this new adventure goes super well for you❤️
It’s been awhile, huh? 😂 will probably take a while to get back to my regular upload schedule with moving and everything but planning on a couple vids per week 😁
I am so glad you are back and you are doing some changes in your life! ❤️ I am also starting therapy next week FOR THE FIRST TIME!!! I'm scared shitless... 😣
Thanks Yoliher! And good luck with your therapy endeavors! 🤞🏻 I know it can be pretty nerve-wracking thinking about sharing personal things with a stranger and just remember therapists are there to support YOU in your mental health journey so don’t be afraid to let your voice be heard and share what you would like to work on. You got this!
You made the right choice, happiness is more important than money. Life is too short to be miserable for a job. I'm also applying at different places 😊
I was so pleased to see this video pop up!! I like the theme of "reboot" I'm seeing in the video and comments! For the therapy, are you able to go in person? I've been seeing a lot of folks mention "zoom" sessions in this last year or so (for obvious reasons). And the OA is in person? Also, is OA basically set up like AA? I'm glad that there are a few ways you can reach out and receive support.
Thanks Brenda! The OA sessions are always zoom unless you have them in your community and yes, it’s basically AA/NA but for binge eating 🙃 and therapy will be over zoom or something like that.
Life just has a way if happening doesn't it? 😜 Glad to hear you are refocused and back to share your transparency and continue to motivate others through your journey. Continued blessings on your new adventure. #reset #changeisgood #selfcare
@@lauralynn2847 In my Oprah voice..."what I know for sure" is whatever content you choose to share will be helpful to others like me! Make it a great day!
I am over the mooooon happy and proud of you! This is a good time to purge anything you don't want to take with you. I hope now, until you move, there will be time to work on yourself. Maybe a challenge to see what you can do until you move into your apartment.
Thanks Laura! And YES - planning to purge as much as humanly possible, even though I purged 23 large bags worth of stuff before I moved last time 😂 good will got sick of seeing me!
So happy to see you back. This is all terrific news.👍👍 Just get over this hump of moving. It will all work out. I myself am in the process of making big life changes. Im sure it will have a positive effect on your health journey..best of luck and look forward to updates 💞...you didn't share your weight..or did I miss it?
Thanks Judy! Definitely appreciate the support, especially now when I’m basically starting over from scratch 😭 but it’s ok, not like I haven’t been here a dozen times before, only difference is this time I only fell completely off the wagon for a couple months instead of a couple years 😂🥳
Congratulations! I really think these changes will be good for you :) I'm actually going to be headed back in Washington from July through the rest of the year. With the way you described it, I'm wondering if we're headed towards the same place.
Congrats! Those are definitely some changes. Glad you didn't follow the money and stayed in the same program/different position. I 🙏 the new place didn't over promise. I know you will do awesome. Happy you are going back to therapy. It's not easy bouncing off your thoughts to yourself. Sometimes we need to hear those thoughts outloud and validated by a third party person. We all know what we gotta do and sometimes we need a guide 🤗❤️
Thanks Claudia! And that was one of my concerns too but I already knew there program was way better funded and had more resources for clients than ours because I’ve met their staff at regional trainings before. And very true - looking forward to being the client instead of the therapist for a change! 😂
Such exciting news but I'm so happy for you. I imagine it will be diffict being away from your family. Speaking of which, you didn't tell us how your brother is doing - I hope he's well.
Thanks Robin! And funny you said that cause Mama Warrior reminded me that the updates I forgot were about my brothers 😂 and it will be rough but they are actually planning to relocate to that area in the future as well and visit their often so won’t be too bad!
OMG i made the money move and i regret it! oh the new personalities and the money situation and iam so glad i made the move, as far as the house, just prayer worked it out. the problem neighbor who gave my new neighborhood double hockey sticks made us build our new one! baby steps girl!
Haha, I was SO close to going the money and less moving stress route...so glad I didn’t! I hope things continue to improve for you Lizette - we got this! 👊🏻
I’m starting my weight loss journey over too after a stressful time moving interstate mmm OA did it for a very long time I actually think it made my eating disorder worse 😢
That is a lot. But all good stuff. I think with you going to therapy and the group, what's going to be great for you is there will be people around to help you hold yourself accountable to take care of your mental health and the things you want to work on.
Absolutely! Been trying to therapize myself for awhile so it will nice to just sit back and let someone else be the therapist and me just be the client 😁
since i gave birth 7 month ago i can't find motivation to lose weight (and with breastfeeding i feel like i always want to eat XD doesn't help) but my knee start to hurt and i can't put any of my cloth XD i hope it will change soon too =)
First off, CONGRATULATIONS 🥳🥳🥳 and second, YOU GOT THIS! And make sure to give yourself some grace cause you are the mother of an infant and that’s stressful in and of itself 🥰
@@lauralynn2847 I'm over here singing the Little Einstein's theme song for you! 😆 "We're going on a trip, in our favorite rocket ship, zooming through the skies...." It's what I started singing any time we got word that we had to transfer.
Starting over is a great thing! Laura Lynn REBOOT 💗💗💗
Haha, right?!? Definitely rebooting! 😂
I could not jump over quick enough as soon as I got the notification! We've missed you. ❤️
Awww...thank you! I missed you guys! 😭🥰🤗
Yay, I'm so happy that you have this opportunity to move on to a job you're excited about! That's a game changer for mental health for sure. You can't set yourself on fire to keep someone else warm.

I'm so happy for you, and I will keep watching, whether if this is a weight loss channel or not 😊 It's ok to take a backseat from weight loss and focus on your mental health. You're doing awesome!
Thanks so much Amber! I’m still wanting to lose the weight may just be a little slower for awhile 😁

Haha, I can neither confirm nor deny if that is where I will or will not be moving to... 🤷🏻♀️😁🙃
That’s exciting! It really is a nice place to live!
Soooo happy for you and proud of you!! Congratulations in all the positive things happening💜🌷💜
Thanks Christy! 🥰
@@lauralynn2847 You're welcome!! Was so glad to see you upload💜
It’s been awhile, huh? 😂 will probably take a while to get back to my regular upload schedule with moving and everything but planning on a couple vids per week 😁
@@lauralynn2847 Definitely has been but we are patient and will wait for you!!
Thanks Christy! You guys are AMAZING!
I am so glad you are back and you are doing some changes in your life! ❤️ I am also starting therapy next week FOR THE FIRST TIME!!! I'm scared shitless... 😣
Thanks Yoliher! And good luck with your therapy endeavors! 🤞🏻 I know it can be pretty nerve-wracking thinking about sharing personal things with a stranger and just remember therapists are there to support YOU in your mental health journey so don’t be afraid to let your voice be heard and share what you would like to work on. You got this!
You made the right choice, happiness is more important than money. Life is too short to be miserable for a job. I'm also applying at different places 😊
Thanks so much Cecelia and agreed! Good luck on your job search!!! 🤞🏻
I was so pleased to see this video pop up!! I like the theme of "reboot" I'm seeing in the video and comments! For the therapy, are you able to go in person? I've been seeing a lot of folks mention "zoom" sessions in this last year or so (for obvious reasons). And the OA is in person? Also, is OA basically set up like AA? I'm glad that there are a few ways you can reach out and receive support.
Thanks Brenda! The OA sessions are always zoom unless you have them in your community and yes, it’s basically AA/NA but for binge eating 🙃 and therapy will be over zoom or something like that.
Life just has a way if happening doesn't it? 😜 Glad to hear you are refocused and back to share your transparency and continue to motivate others through your journey. Continued blessings on your new adventure. #reset #changeisgood #selfcare
Thanks Rhonda! Probably gonna take a little while to get back to how much I was uploading before but planning on at least a couple vids a week 😁
@@lauralynn2847 In my Oprah voice..."what I know for sure" is whatever content you choose to share will be helpful to others like me! Make it a great day!
Thanks Rhonda 🤗
So happy to see you again:)
Thanks Carina! It’s good to be back! 🥳
I am over the mooooon happy and proud of you! This is a good time to purge anything you don't want to take with you. I hope now, until you move, there will be time to work on yourself. Maybe a challenge to see what you can do until you move into your apartment.
Thanks Laura! And YES - planning to purge as much as humanly possible, even though I purged 23 large bags worth of stuff before I moved last time 😂 good will got sick of seeing me!
@@lauralynn2847 man, you talking about September reminds me of Fall and the holidays. Reminds me of last year.
Right?!? 2021 is speeding by! 😮
So happy to see you back. This is all terrific news.👍👍 Just get over this hump of moving. It will all work out. I myself am in the process of making big life changes. Im sure it will have a positive effect on your health journey..best of luck and look forward to updates 💞...you didn't share your weight..or did I miss it?
Thanks Judy! YAY for new adventures! 🥳
@@lauralynn2847 did you share your weight or dud I miss it? Lol
I will be posting a weigh in this week - it would have been like a 40 minute video had I combined them 😂
Oh ok lol..we here to support you. I've been there. You going to do it girl!!!
Thanks Judy! Definitely appreciate the support, especially now when I’m basically starting over from scratch 😭 but it’s ok, not like I haven’t been here a dozen times before, only difference is this time I only fell completely off the wagon for a couple months instead of a couple years 😂🥳
Clicked sooo fast!! I’ve missed ya ❤️
Awww 😊 thanks Maria!!!
Congratulations! I really think these changes will be good for you :)
I'm actually going to be headed back in Washington from July through the rest of the year. With the way you described it, I'm wondering if we're headed towards the same place.
Thanks Jeanette! And maybe?!? Home of the eagles... 😁
@@lauralynn2847 Ok, close-ish! Home of the bulldogs 🙂
That’s west side right?
Go ahead and brag, you're a hot commodity! As others have said so excited for this Reboot ❤️
Haha, thank you! 😂🤣😂😎
Congrats! Those are definitely some changes. Glad you didn't follow the money and stayed in the same program/different position. I 🙏 the new place didn't over promise. I know you will do awesome. Happy you are going back to therapy. It's not easy bouncing off your thoughts to yourself. Sometimes we need to hear those thoughts outloud and validated by a third party person. We all know what we gotta do and sometimes we need a guide 🤗❤️
Thanks Claudia! And that was one of my concerns too but I already knew there program was way better funded and had more resources for clients than ours because I’ve met their staff at regional trainings before. And very true - looking forward to being the client instead of the therapist for a change! 😂
I haven't watched yet but OMG I'M GLAD YOU'RE BACK! OK, more after the show. 😊
Haha, thanks Robin! 😂 glad to be back!
Such exciting news but I'm so happy for you. I imagine it will be diffict being away from your family. Speaking of which, you didn't tell us how your brother is doing - I hope he's well.
Thanks Robin! And funny you said that cause Mama Warrior reminded me that the updates I forgot were about my brothers 😂 and it will be rough but they are actually planning to relocate to that area in the future as well and visit their often so won’t be too bad!
You have a lot on your plate. Give yourself some grace.
Haha, I’m tryin’ Pearl! Thanks! 🥰
OMG i made the money move and i regret it! oh the new personalities and the money situation and iam so glad i made the move, as far as the house, just prayer worked it out. the problem neighbor who gave my new neighborhood double hockey sticks made us build our new one! baby steps girl!
Haha, I was SO close to going the money and less moving stress route...so glad I didn’t! I hope things continue to improve for you Lizette - we got this! 👊🏻
I’m starting my weight loss journey over too after a stressful time moving interstate mmm OA did it for a very long time I actually think it made my eating disorder worse 😢
Ugh! Sorry to hear that ☹️ Hoping it combined with therapy will help instead of hinder then...
Glad to hear you found a new place of employment. It always sounded like your old job was very stressful.
Thank you! Fingers crossed this is a better fit! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
I wish I could move out of this town. Congrats.
I hear ya...it’s been a long time coming and finally everything just clicked. But I hope your wish comes true! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Good luck
Thanks Zsazsa!
That is a lot. But all good stuff. I think with you going to therapy and the group, what's going to be great for you is there will be people around to help you hold yourself accountable to take care of your mental health and the things you want to work on.
Absolutely! Been trying to therapize myself for awhile so it will nice to just sit back and let someone else be the therapist and me just be the client 😁
since i gave birth 7 month ago i can't find motivation to lose weight (and with breastfeeding i feel like i always want to eat XD doesn't help) but my knee start to hurt and i can't put any of my cloth XD i hope it will change soon too =)
First off, CONGRATULATIONS 🥳🥳🥳 and second, YOU GOT THIS! And make sure to give yourself some grace cause you are the mother of an infant and that’s stressful in and of itself 🥰
I clicked soooooooooo fast!! :)
Haha, it’s been awhile!
@@lauralynn2847 I'm over here singing the Little Einstein's theme song for you! 😆 "We're going on a trip, in our favorite rocket ship, zooming through the skies...." It's what I started singing any time we got word that we had to transfer.
😂🤣😂 LOVE IT!
You are so beautiful today 🥰💖
Thank you! 🤗
So how far away from mom will you be. Somewhere new can be very exciting
Haha, about 200 miles but they are planning to relocate to that area in the future 😁
