spend the week w/me *my momma is here, going to the beach, disney trip, mental health updates*

That "not feeling full" feeling is something I've grappled with for a while. What I've learned from it is that my "full" feeling typically is discomfort, so I'll eat to the point of discomfort. Then, worse, I'll feel uncomfortable and go to food to comfort that feeling. That's my personal cycle. So, instead, I maintain the concept that "that was enough food to fuel me" and drink water when I want to stimulate myself more

I think it would make a great series if your viewers sent you their favorite recipes and make them.

As a teacher, THANK YOU. You are doing exactly what you need for his fine motor skills and early academic knowledge 🙏🏼

i’m jealous MJs gone to Disney more times than me and I’m 31 😮‍💨

i started lamotrigine in january and reached the “euphoric” state in april/may and it’s worth the low dosage start. im at 150 mg right now, i feel like my life has changed in good ways, i get out of bed every morning and feel “normal” compared to january. the depressive episodes don’t hit as hard. i would keep going!!

oh girl, I'm supposed to be studying cell biology and protein synthesis.... But then YOUR VLOG POPS UP and there goes my study time! LOVE IT! Love you!

I recommend buying a slow cooker (or crockpot) for week days! If you KNOW you’re just too tired to cook at the end of the day these are the best!!!! Throw everything in sometime in the morning, throw it on low and let it cook!!!

Currently a SAHM and I totally understand the feeling of just wanting to order out because it’s so convenient, especially when you’ve been on your feet cooking for and taking care of baby all day. Our SAVING GRACE has been ordering groceries to pickup! It gets the task of grocery shopping over with quickly and then all you have to do is put them away!

I am on Lamictal + lexapro for my bipolar and I LOVE that combo! My psychiatrist said they typically pair well together. I’m not sure why you’re on it, but I highly recommend taking it alongside an antidepressant. If you’ve had a bad experience with lexapro, I know there are other ones you can take with it as well. It’s was life changing for me. Don’t be scared to get something different if it’s really not working for you though. You deserve to get to a place where you feel good! We all do :) sometimes the first thing you try doesn’t workout and that’s okay! Wishing you the best 💞

Dude, im amaze and a little jealous of the range of speech of your child. My son is about 3 moths older than yours and has very few words. My mom assures me its because he has more than one language as both his grandmother's speak languages other than English but im slightly worried

Lamotrigine changed my life- it was weird at first when I wasn’t at a therapeutic dose but it’s a phenomenal medication

For the bottomless pit feeling, what people say about preportioning your macros on a plate and eating it and saying "that was enough to fuel me" helps but if you're genuinely wanting more food, just eat low calorie veggies and fruits. Like a plate full of celery, dipped in Greek yogurt "ranch". Baby carrots. Berries. Apples dipped in a spoon of PB. Steamed edamame with a little salt. The lost goes on. None of that is bad for us, it's usually very low calorie and full of nutrients. Sometimes we feel extra hungry because we're actually deficient in certain minerals and vitamins from real food so ignoring those feelings isn't always great.

I was looking for something to watch and your video notification popped up 🥳

You are such a good mother and he is such a smart little man❤

I would recommend a crockpot. They’re super easy to use and the recipes are good. U can literally start it in the morning and have food by dinner. Anything can take 4-8 hours

What if similarly to your 30 days without fast food challenge, you do 30 days without delivery apps? Totally agree that the structure of a self-imposed boundary is sooo motivating!

He's so adorable. Love the giggles. He's such a happy little guy.

1:26 I’ve only made it this far and I’ve already laughed out loud three times 😂

the serie of "30 days of no fast food" is when I discovered you and I love watching you from France

I feel you on the trying to cook more and order less! I’ve been cooking similar recipes to whatever meals I’m craving to order and it’s helped soooo much. I legit never thought I’d be making sesame chicken at home but it’s so much easier than I realized. Really curbs the craving and saves cals!
