I just found your channel from another you tuber (@StylewithSerena) and this is the first video I watched. I am at work and literally had to pause the video and go to the bathroom and dry the tears. "Never Quit on Yourself". I do this all of the time. I always put myself last. I personally have not experienced the cancer in my immediate family but there are lots of other health concerns - early diagnosis with rheumatoid arthritis, daughter with Chrons and perforated bowel, mother with rare tumor inside the heart. It is always something and I always revert back to the easy - and very bad - grab and go food. Your message is so timely. Last Thursday was my birthday. I made the decision I need to take care of me! I went back on my keto-vore diet, cut out all sodas, and have only cheated with some small dark chocolate chips when the cravings get bad. I have subscribed and sending support, prayers, and positive thoughts your way.

You should consider a therapist. They can discuss your emotions and how to create good behaviors. Prayers for you and your family.

I started therapy us why I suggest it. After losing a step son and being the one to support our family while my husband grieved, then my father's diagnosis of Leukemia. It was all just to much. I had to have someone to talk too who's feelings wouldn't be hurt when I expresses how hard it was. It really is good to get it all out in a safe place.

Cathy, I am so proud of your weight loss journey. Don’t be ashamed of your weight. You are a beautiful person. I truly believe society needs to change what a “woman” should look like. I have a weight issue as well and I am 66 and finally have decided that I an okay the way I am as long as I am healthy and follow my doctors advice. Keep with the positive attitude.

I completely understand what you’re saying here. My husband was diagnosed in 2007 with kidney cancer and he was a childhood survivor of leukemia. Food was how I coped. I gained 80#. The worry, the responsibility, the frightening part of watching somebody you love go through a disease is something no one understands unless you’ve been through it. I am so happy to report that with prayers, with the never-ending faithfulness of the Lord, my husband is still cancer free. Don’t beat up on yourself, give yourself grace. At 56 years of age and going through menopause, I was fighting a losing battle with weight gain and cravings, night sweats and hot flashes. My cholesterol and blood pressure and weight got to be too much so I did a whole lot of investigating on the trizepitide and Semaglutide weight loss phenomenon that is happening to some here in the United States. This medication is something I’ve been on now for almost three months. I’ve lost 25 pounds. I feel great. It’s something to look into for yourself. Not sure how that works in Canada, but it has changed my life. Take care. Hugs to you hang in there.❤

Sending prayers for you and your family. Your conversation brought me an idea. What if you had a live once a week/ month that was kind of like a WW meeting? You wouldn’t have to worry about editing and you could form/ expand your community and we could all give each other ideas and support. Merry Christmas and happiest of New Years to you,

Thank you for sharing. Sending you good thoughts. ❤

Hi Cathy,
You have been a huge inspiration to me. It’s because of you that I started my latest weight loss journey. Everything you said resonated with me. I always lost weight in the past because of vanity. This time I it was because I physically felt so terrible. I could see my life slipping away from me. Your videos gave me hope. I started simply by giving up the obvious sugar. Did that for a few months then did your balance plate method. Moved to more keto based meal plans and then added modest walking. I’m down 70 plus pounds and want to remove 25 more pounds. I know I will do it this time. I feel so much better. I’m not going back to feeling like crap. I know one thing for sure, you were a huge inspiration to me and if I can do it, anyone can! Don’t give up friend! Start telling the universe what you want, go for it! You are worth it! Thank you for inspiring me! You never know who you are touching out here!

Love the idea of the monthly check in.

I am so overjoyed the doctor was wrong about your husband! I pray you 2 cherish each other. Thank you for your time, and openness.❤

10 months for an mri? Good grief.

U look great tho! ❤ . Its a battle! I just try and eat lighter and earlier! Do enjoy healthy foods tho, phew! 😂 😊

Thank you !!very honest

Praying 🙏🏻 for you and your husband and family. Such a very relatable journey! Go, Cathy!

I enjoy all your videos that I watch, Cathy, but this one is so special! I respect your opening up about your life challenges and I appreciate your positive attitude! You're one tough cookie, Cathy! Love from Yokohama, Japan❤❤

Merry Christmas, Cathy, and all

Wow you're a strong lady 💪

Prayers for you and your husband. Don't forget to take care of yourself while you are helping your husband.

Hi Cathy, I wrote something earlier, but didn't go through. Thank you for sharing & opening up to us. I rlly value and enjoy your videos. It started off as clothing advice and has evolved to relating to you beyond that. Please don't be too hard on yourself - you do alot for your family and fit yourself in as well. It's no small feat! You should be proud of your weight loss, it's 27lbs less on your bad knee. I admire your fortitude in everything you do and try to take a page for myself. Wishing you and your family (esp hubby) a very happy and healthy holiday and New Year!

Merry Christmas!! 💖

10 months! What happens if they think a person has cancer? You could bed dead before you get a diagnosis.

🙏

Takes guts to open yourself up like this and your decision to not beat yourself up. I have been a yo-yo dieter for most of my life and have health issues as a result. I admire your dedication. Have a restful holiday and enjoy your family time

Prayers up! My husband has gone through both prostate cancer and skin cancer in the past year. It's so scary. He's doing great and I pray for your husband it will be the same. Merry Christmas and a healthy new year. I sure do appreciate your channel.

Cathy you are amazing 🎉
I'm sending you lots of love ❤ and prayers 🙏🙏 for you and your husband from Thailand.
Wishing you all the very best for 2025 🍀🐞love you, Verena

Hi again! A few things helping me are Swaps! Saw on Amazn that u can get Reeces sugar free! Also, that Shea Whitney got a rebounder (mini round trampoline). U only have to bounce for like 2 mins to get good results, getting ur heart rate up, even just tapping ur feet on it!! This will help more this winter cuz dont wanna slip and fall in Denver! ❤ 😊. Merry Christmas. "Caregiver stress" is very real 😮. 🌲 🎄

Thank you Cathy

Nobody knows how much cancer affects the whole family. My husband was given 3
Months when he was 35yrs old and he died almost 3 months to the day!! It is a miracle that youve been given more time--so keep doing what you are doing!!!
wW never worked for me. It seemed like at the meetings--the ones that talked about binging and going off plan--were the biggest losers!!!

Great video. Happy Holidays. Prayers and hugs to you and your family.

Keep it up Cathy !You're doing great ! I continue to pray for you and your family. Happy Holidays ! ✨❤️🎄

Cathy, if you have a mall near you it might help you to go at first a couple of times a week. The malls usually open an hour before the stores open for walkers many ages use this option, also it’s fun to window shop as you walk. I hope this is helpful for you. God bless you and your family, by the way you look great !

Hi Cathy, I lost my husband last spring after many years of severe health problems. Then I went through four months of different pre sepsis infections along with procedures. Thanksgiving I had to put my beautiful 15 year old fur baby down. It's been a year of tears. Obviously being on 6 antibiotics for four months I had to start on building my immune system up. My doctor suggested ELT therapy for my lymphatic system. My insurance doesn't cover it but I cannot express how just one visit helped me so much mentally and physically. My body and mind were completely run down. I wasn't expecting the mental clarity from ELT. My energy is improving as well. Ive been going weekly for several weeks. If this is offered in Canada, you may want to research it. I highly encourage it. It's painless, relaxing, and has rejuvenated my spirit. God bless and I will continue sending my prayers. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

I love you talks. I slip a lot lately. I need to get a better mind set 😅

The monthly video sounds good about your weight loss journey. ❤

🙏🏻✌️❤️💪

You are such a strong women. Sending my love and prayers. Lori ❤

Cathy, you and your hubby are always on my prayer list. ❤️🙏🏼
