MILESTONE One Hundred Thousand Views at fitinfun You Tube

A couple of weeks ago my fitinfun You Tube Channel passed one hundred thousand views. I started it in February 2013 after a long struggle with my self-esteem and fear. This was about a year and a half after I lost “half my size” and I was almost used to my new self by then.

My You Tube Journey is Part of my Weight Loss Journey.

I often tell people that after I lost my weight, I lost everything else; and this is pretty much the truth. My fat friends could no longer stand to be around me, thin women accused me of trying to steal their men. I was afraid of any man who got within ten feet of me and they were actually LOOKING AT ME for the first time in my life. I was hospitalized 4 times in the first year after I lost weight for 4 diverse and life-threatening illnesses. @bxlphabet and I were estranged. Many loved ones died horrific deaths. It just went on and on.

But even through all that mess, as soon as I lost weight I dedicated my remaining life to helping others do the same. As soon as I realized how easy this was, I wanted to shout it from the rooftops. I was outraged at all the lies about food I had believed. I was outraged about how my high weight was actually being caused by some of the things I thought I was eating for my health. I had a burning desire to help other people and I still do. But the wreckage of my life was making it hard.

My First Video

I was already blogging through the weight loss at my fitinfun wordpress site and starting to take photos. But I knew videos would be a great help in explaining things and showing people my new techniques. Finally in a fit of fear, I made this video – my first – and still my most viewed.

It’s hard for me to watch this one now. I see healthy feet and now they are all messed up with Rheumatoid Arthritis deformation. I can no longer do these exercises so well, but I still do them.

This next video is what everyone always wants to see. Me!

I am not usually in my videos and that is everyone’s wish. Of all the comments I get on my videos the plea to show myself is most frequent. So feast your eyes on a nervous wreck. After this, I did not do another one yet. I might be thin now, but I have a long history of not wanting to look at myself. When I was obese I avoided mirrors. When I got thin I could only see a tiny old lady I did not recognize.

This thumbnail for this looks like I am a superhero Grandma - don't you agree?

And this video is my most recent. Just published today. I’m getting off the bus from the a trip to Thai Immigration in Bangkok and you can do a little bit of people watching with me.

MILESTONE One Year on Steemit

June 2017 is when I came to steemit. This is one of a series of posts I’m writing to remember this year and how things have gone for me here. Even though this is about You Tube, I would also like to tell you my experience with dtube. I did not succeed! This is why I am still posting to You Tube.

I managed to post two short videos to dtube, after many failed attempts. I thought I knew what I was doing and made a few videos about dtube and the experience but was not able to load them. I spent many hours on this and finally gave up. Recently @mariannewest told my about dlive, so I might try that one next.

I self-censor on You Tube since I talk about alt-health topics. Many of my friends in this field have had trouble on You Tube when they talk about anything alternative. I just don’t do it so I can keep my channel going. Using a video service on the steemit blockchain would be ideal and it is on my list.

My other posts about a year on steemit are here, with much more to come.

One of the reasons my milestone posts are hard to write is that I am not doing very well these days. If you would like to help my son @bxlphabet and I stay on steemit, but your upvote is just not enough, here are my wallet addresses where I will be so grateful for any help at this difficult time.

Losing weight was the best thing that ever happened to me. I only wish I had done it sooner. Anyone can get over obesity and live their dreams if I did.
