Check out my blog post here: bit.ly/KrockStruggle ❤️

The thing I like most about this video is how intently Brian is listening to Jessica---he is so present for her. This is true love in action. :-)

He listened with love in his eyes the whole time-and his first words in response said it all. 😭♥️

Thank God Brian didn’t give Jessica the “solution” to her “problem”. I have faith that you two will get through this together. Thank you for sharing your journey and your life with us.

So honest. I loved the way Brian just allowed her to talk and listened so intently. Unconditional Love from your husband is powerful and can be so motivating.

I love that Brian’s first response was “I love you” 🥰 Someone else commented that you should be as kind to yourself as you would be to someone else and I couldn’t agree more. We are so hard on ourselves and it’s not helpful. You know what you need to do - take action - and you’re absolutely capable of doing that. Keep your goals in mind and move forward from this. Lots of love {hugs} 🙂

Jessica goes on here and says what we all know and experience ourselves in some way or another, but few of us will talk about. So you tell me who's the strong one.

I’m 71 years old and I have been a food addict all my life. The struggle never goes away. I binge when I am stressed. Somehow that calms me down. It’s very frustrating. I feel your pain. ❤️

Brian is so patient and loving. I'm crying. Jessica I can relate to everything you said. Thank you for being real and vulnerable with us.

Brian, it totally touched me how you held space with love and sat there listening. And the first thing you said was, “ I love you”!! Also, this was so incredibly raw, real and BRAVE!!! So much of us( me too), are in this too and are with you! You are not alone!! Sending you both lots of love ❤️

Jessica, first let me say I was crying through this a so wanted to give you a GIANT HUG. Coming forward with this was both brave and altruistic. There are so many of us who struggle day to day. You are human. Second there are many reasons why this could be happening right now. One could be you've lost so much weight and your hormones could be fluctuating. The other could be that you are so close to your goal you are sabotaging yourself so Brian won't be alone continuing on his adventure. Whatever the reason, I for one am here for you. I totally get it. You are so brave and we are all so proud of you, even when you fall. Brian will be there to catch you. You've got this.

Heroin addicts also can not keep a “little” heroin at home just to prove they will not use it. You are strong enough to move forward and so brave for doing this!! We believe in you!!!

The road to recovery isn't straight! Remember, a prepared environment is your best friend. Never bring your enemy in. You never invite a vampire, right 😉😘 3 days, it takes 3 days to feel better back on track together. And always keep the conversation open. You are perfect in your imperfection! Love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️ signed, the much stumbled me 😘😘😘

I'm struggling to stay on track right this very minute. I "fall off the wagon" all the time, but I get right back on. 2 steps forward, one step back. Don't beat yourself up, but do always get right back on that wagon!!!

Oh Jessica... 10 years of being a recovering overeater/binger and maintaining a 60 lb weight loss. I've had lots of those times, especially when I worked at the hospice office. ALWAYS snacks everywhere. Then I retired 2 years ago... went back last month to volunteer for a morning in the office. Guess what... same old feelings rose right up again. Going WFPB'd for the last year and 7 months has helped the most. But I am always tweaking. And try to keep my home as clean as possible although I live with a lovely SAD eating husband. My tips: 1. don't ever start tomorrow. Throw "it" out and start now, next bite. 2. don't be hard on yourself because you are an amazing woman!! 3. know that you are helping others by sharing this. You are loved by all us internet goofballs. 4. I personally believe that nothing happens by coincidence --- your viewing that live stream was meant to be. Sure wish you would share the link so we could hear it too. 5.... JUST KEEP SWIMMING --- you are growing and getting well physically and mentally every day. It takes time. You've got a great man who loves you and will always be there. He's a keeper! 6. You can borrow my "been there, done that" t-shirt if you want. XOXO

Oh Jessica, when you talked about how you will “Get to that tomorrow,” I felt so connected. That has been my go to line for diet, exercise, meditation, you name it. Thank you for being so brave! And Brian, you are so wonderful to sit and listen without comment until Jessica had said what she needed to say. The two of you have such a loving and lovely relationship. Blessings.

Someone else has probably posed this but for those of us who can’t stay it of the cookie jar, there is only one solution. Don’t put trigger foods in your grocery cart.

"Addiction is a chronic and relapsing condition." CDC This is important for all of us to recognize. Thank you so much for sharing. This video may have a more powerful impact than any of your others.

If it’s in your house, it’s in your mouth! Chef AJ Have to admit you’re an addict and ALWAYS protect yourself! Love you girl.

Shes so cute. I'm thinking she was pregnant or going to leave him. She is torn up over her peanut butter cups. She's precious. He gets a gold 🌟 cause he waited 15 min to hear about a snack. God bless him and y'all. You're good girl. Just don't bring them back in the house. You'll be ok. There are food addicts anonymous meetings that might help too. ❤

I give this an 11 out of 10. I love how they interacted together. Dang.

If the comment from a coworker about not being able to gain the weight back because your utubers would crucify you was recent...I would posit the theory that it is actually what has you so out of sorts. Fear of failure, fear of judgement, fear in general, even when completely subconscious, leads us to comfort behaviors. Eating has been a source of comfort for you in the past. I think it was very brave to post this publicly...and I think the post itself may be your solution. When you see how much your utube friends support, instead of condemning you, it will take the fear out of the equation. You will no longer need the comfort of those peanut butter cups. And if anyone is childish enough to judge or condemn you without looking in a mirror first...be comforted by the knowledge that they have much more difficult work to do on themselves. You are appreciated and genuinely cared for by many people on here, please remember that when you start to feel fragile.

I am crying, for Jessica's honesty and fears and for Brian's love.OMG! How moving. ♥️ My own food addiction has taught me to NOT BRING IT INTO THE HOUSE, CAR OR OFFICE. Remember....your mind will lie to you. Mine tells me that's the last donut on the planet. Insane, but I believe it. Thank you for being you. ♥️

Now on my days I am tempted let my eating slide I can say, "Jessica is fighting to make better choices too and we are accountable to each other..." I've got your back and I know you've got mine!

I love how concerned Brian is throughout the whole video, wishing you both all the happiness in the world

Kudos to you for seeing the pattern before it gets out of hand and knowing when to force accountability. THAT is HUGE! Whenever we feel like we have to hide a thing from those we love- that's when we know we are having a problem. 1. food addiction is real. Be gentle with yourself and pick yourself back up the next meal. 2. How can we not cry at every episode of "This is us". 3. I don't even know your pastor, but he's awesome sauce for being so transparent and real. Same goes for you Jessica.4. Willpower is a false reality- only a clean environment will prevail. (a la Chef AJ) You have to set yourself up for success.

Your honesty is refreshing and I appreciate you keeping it real.

Thank you for sharing this, I really needed to hear this right now. Good luck on your journey.

Thank you for sharing so honestly! Keeping on track is hard, but I think you have the strength within you to get back on track.

It is so cool that the look of love never left Brian’s eyes throughout this whole video.

it is not about will power...it is about respect for who you are becoming.

You're both so inspiring, and even more so for being honest and sharing your struggles. You've got this!

I am a new follower. Thank you so much for sharing. This is so me too, exactly 100%. I appreciate your honesty and it’s so relatable. Give yourself grace and keep going. You are amazing.

Dr. Lyle has talked about how moderation doesn’t work. I can’t have nuts and seeds in my house. You are right that food is an addiction.

I have no desire to crucify you. I'd rather give you a big hug and a huge thank you for keeping it real! We've all been there. Your struggle is our struggle. That's why we're here. Tell us what you need from us to help. You've helped so many of us lurking here on your wonderful channel - let us return the favor! I think being kind to yourself and forgiving yourself is more important that a reset. If you feel a need for a reset we'll cheer you on, but please don't use it to punish yourself. You're in this for the long haul, and a couple of bags of chocolate aren't going to derail your success in the long term. It's not how many times you fall, it's how many times you get up that counts. And this video counts as getting up. It shows us your strength. Well done! 💪💪💪 P.S., "Stop doing the whole tomorrow thing" is going to be my new mantra.

Love you, Jessica! This was very brave and powerful. Keep on keeping on. We are all here for you x

I applaud your courage for making this video and love seeing the love and encouragement between the two of you.

Sending you lots of love from Malaysia....you have taken the words right out of my mouth - and I am a 61 year-old grandma. If I have any words of wisdom, at my age, been doing this since my teenage years, it will be this - GET BACK UP AND KEEP GOING. One day you will look back and realize ‘the falling of wagon days’ are less and less...🙏 Namaste. Ps: sorry about my grammar. English is not my first language.

💗 I love that Brian’s first response was “I love you”. I almost said it myself out loud to the screen, and I don’t even “know you”! LOL! You are so brave for sharing, and your honesty is helpful and inspiring. I’ve been doing some similar food behaviors the last two weeks due to some unusual extra stressors, but I’ve been keeping it on the down-low. Hearing how you are processing this Jessica is truly helpful. Thank you. 🌺

Very powerful post. Thank you SO much for sharing! I can relate 100%

Thank you so much for making and sharing this video

I love how Brian looks at you. Definitely still in love.

That reminds me of when I had quit smoking for a year and then felt confident and curious enough to just try one cigarette. I started smoking again... and it took me two years to quit again. Fortunately, I haven’t smoked for 12 years now. I know I can not be around it at all in order to remain smoke free. It’s the same if I play with candy or chips. I cried with you and felt your fear and sadness. It’s so normal to mess up sometimes. Just remember that we don’t need to test our willpower ever again, but just always saying no will “em-power” us. Sending you a hug and much understanding!

What enormous courage you have! Thank you so much for sharing your struggle. You are not alone.

This being a human thing is SOOOO tough!! You're doing great, never forget that! I love you and your honesty. Stay strong and go forward :)

I love who you are as individuals and as a couple, regardless of your weight. Yeah, I enjoy your recipes and your success, but it was your personalities, not your adventure, that sucked me in.

I can't have candy in my house. Sadly, I cannot eat just one. Once I start, the bag is gone. Even certain foods will trigger my addiction. Recently I had a little catsup with my potato. Imagine my surprise when that catsup, which i don't even really like, triggered me. I've only been whole foods, plant based SOS free since September, so i haven't faced the trials you have, yet. My heart really goes out to you. You can do this. I have faith in you. You can do this. Edit: My eating disorder, binging, has hit a few times, and what really helped is making chocolate nice cream. I even binged on it and had two bananas instead of one. It worked. It satisfied me that night. It's so comforting to know I can binge at times and still be on tract.

Thank you for being so honest and vulnerable! You aren’t alone- so appreciate the share. :)

So relatable, so honest and vulnerable. Thank you for sharing. We love you EVEN more. We support you.

We've all been there. Many times. Welcome to the human race 😊 Be as kind to yourself as you would be to someone else struggling. We, your viewers, take strength and camaraderie from you and I hope that we also send strength right back to you. You've created a community here.

I say it all the time & I truly believe it in my heart - the most beautiful things about people are their imperfections. I love you sharing your flawed humanity with us, Jessica, don’t ever think you have to be ‘perfect’ for us. I also love how Brian loved you all the way through your confession, unrelentingly. You two are GREAT.

THANK YOU JESSICA! I salute your courage and honesty, Bless you both.

This is what we need. Real, honest, true conversations. This was amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this. I relate sooooo much! You are so brave and I am so proud of you for seeing the pattern and taking control.

As a process addiction and trauma therapist I want to commend you for cutting off the fuel supply of shame. By being so open you are sort of lancing the boil, so to speak. For me, an addiction is doing ANYthing you wouldn’t do intentionally on your best, most clear headed day and doing it with increasing frequency and/or intensity despite adverse consequences AND attempts to quit. Hidden/secret behaviors, lies (overt and lies of omission), and poor emotional regulation are all hallmarks of this unmanageable way of life. We SO get it! If it helps you can definitely read my stuff on Quora. I will send you my info. Have you ever seen that fabulous Brene Brown TED talk on shame and vulnerability? Watch it! Thank again, both of you, for sharing ALL of the content you do! I love your relationship and your dedication to us. Please prioritize yourselves though, okay? I struggle to do that too but we will cheer each other on.

I would like to give you a hug Jessica! ❤️ I struggled with addictions to nicotine, dairy, sugar...and I had so many conversations with myself ( I am not as brave as you to tell everyone of my perceived weaknesses ) until one day I started thinking of all the things I used to do in my life that were fun and I enjoyed them but I kind of outgrew them, such as; pogo sticking, riding my bike everywhere, staying up all night watching scary movies etc. . Even though I USED to do those things I no longer did them. I outgrew them. So I decided that it was time to outgrow some more things such as nicotine, sugar & dairy. Dec 31st 2018 was the last day I had any nicotine. I just told myself... I used to do that but I don’t do it anymore. 2 years ago I stopped eating dairy and Dec 31st 2019 I stopped eating all sugar except as part of a whole food ie: dates, fruits etc. I think if you can see those food addictions as something YOU USED TO DO but you don’t do that anymore perhaps it might help you too. I had no withdrawal symptoms, no cravings...it was just like turning a page in the book of my life...past & present. I send you love and good wishes. You & Brian bring so much happiness to so many. Lean on us whenever you need a shoulder! Much love to you both! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Good courage! I’m so glad you told Brian (and us) what’s been going on for you, Jessica. ♥️♥️♥️ Good listening and supporting, Brian! 🌱🌱🌱 You two are wonderful 💕

We have all been there. It was wonderful that you were willing to publicly share your struggle. Thank you for your honesty.

I remember when dr Charles Stanley said don't bring the temptation into the house you helped me today and actually feel closer to you guys thank you so much

I feel this. HARD. It’s so hard to say out loud...you are very brave.

Thanks so much for sharing and showing real life. It takes amazing courage! You have helped so many I'm sure of those that have the same struggles. You are an amazing woman Jessica. We love you and support you!

Awww Brian reaction was so sweet. Jessica don’t be ashamed, we are human

So brave, Jessica. I’m sitting here crying along with you. It’s a struggle every day, isn’t it?

Thank you. I am in this struggle with you! You are lucky to have Brian to help you. Sending love.

Thank you so much for being so brave and vulnerable. You all are so beautiful and such an inspiration. I teared up and felt for you on so many levels. You are not alone in this struggle.

You are so great of a person to be honest with everyone. Quite refreshing, you both are a couple that many people wish to be like your relationship. We’re all here with you and for you.

That was brave Jessica and Brian what a good man- so patient and listening and that "I love you"- you guys are so good together. I will pray for wisdom for you, sister. 💜

Thank you so much for sharing this. Sharing our faults and our struggles is one of the most difficult things to do! I’m so proud of you I struggle with this issue as well

I saw so much of myself in this video. Thank you for sharing this, and thank you for letting those of us that struggle know we are not alone.

I went to an Overeaters Annoynmous meeting today bc food has a choke hold on me.

Oh Jessica! This video really hit home and I literally have tears in my eyes writing to you and Brian. First off, I’m a addict! I was a drug addict for 29 years and been clean now for 15 years and 4 months! I have lost and gained probably over 600 pounds in 45 years! I’m 59 and still entertain using drugs in my brain. I struggle everyday with food. I am still about 30 pounds overweight. Addiction is real! I have a very addictive personality. I deal also with PTSD from my childhood. I’m sending you big hugs and so very proud of you doing this video. You are amazing and you are human and we all deal with things. I also relate to other people judging me and insecurities about my self esteem. All I can do is just try to do better everyday and keep telling myself I’m ok and human just like everyone else. You have a great loving husband who is also your best friend! I am also blessed to have a wonderful loving understanding best friend of a husband who also is a reformed drug addict/alcoholic with food issues like me. So, tomorrow is another day and the first thing you should do is be proud of yourself for admitting to not only Brian, but all your wonderful followers who love your channel you are struggling with food and having a little set back on staying on track with your food choices. I’m sure when you start reading the comments from your followers, it will give you strength! Take care Jessica! We love you and Brian for your honesty and great inspirational videos. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Kelly from the central coast of California 😎

Great job Jessica!! You guys are so sweet and supportive to each other! God bless you guys!

Seriously!! Thank you for sharing!! I struggle with this type of thing daily. You inspire me to keep going. You and Brian really are the real deal, and the love you share is obvious. This.... so much THIS!!

So real, that's why we love you guys so much! I had a diet counselor back many years ago and he wrote in my food diary, page after page into the future, "Tomorrow never comes!" It is so true. You got this. You are a different person than the last time you lost the weight. You have better life experience, better & more nutritious food to nourish you, and your KZfaq family to support you. I look forward to seeing how the Krocks Kommunity rallies around you! You have inspired a lot of people, now someone out there can inspire you. ❤❤❤

Kudos to you for your honesty Jessica. I appreciate you sharing the ups and downs. I’m happy you have a guy like Brian to share it with. Stay strong!!

I appreciate that you shared. I totally understand. I have this battle and fail so often. :( It was sweet watching Brian's facial expressions of love and pride. You are an encouragement! You can do this!

This was as real as it gets. So appreciate your transparency and genuine honesty. A real inspiration. It goes without saying ... always lean into each other when vulnerable.

Be gentle with yourself; we in KZfaq land love you guys. Your adventure is our adventure. Hugs

Beautiful. I have definitely felt these feelings. Thank you for sharing this and being honest...through this video I have realized I need people to hold me accountable!

Thanks for your honesty Jessica and Brian your support is overwhelming..

I can definitely relate! Thank you for your bravery to share. It helps us experiencing a similar adventure to know success is a series of bumps, stops and forward motion. 💜

This video hit so close to home and made me cry. I’m a serious food addict and binge eater. I found myself daily getting fast food on my way home. I was vegan for three months straight and have since slipped back into my old habits. To make matters worse I have ten times the stress I usually have. I’m starting to go through divorce and haven’t seen my kids in two weeks. Finding the strength to keep working towards my goals is slowly fading away. I appreciate your honesty and love watching your videos

Thank you for your courage, honesty and vulnerability. YOU are an inspiration. I'm struggling too and feel less alone after watching this video.

Thank you for sharing! Many of us struggle with this. You aren't alone. Brian is a keeper.❤

Thank you for your bravery and honesty. I haven’t been on the path for long but I understand the mental spiral with other areas in my life. Be kind to yourself right now and your guys’ love for each other is beautiful.

I have totally been in the same place you have, Jessica, as have all of us who deal with weight issues. Thank you for your openess and honesty. I have been slipping, basically since Halloween, and have put on 10-12 pounds, yet keep eating sweets. I feel your struggle. I'll be praying for strength for you to keep on track. You and Brian are an inspiration to a lot of people and keep up the good work. Remember, we're all human and have set backs and are weak at times. Just keep moving forward and you will be ok Thanks again for your openess.

Thank you, Jessica. You're saying what I have felt at times. Thank you for your raw honesty. It is so refreshing and encouraging. Speaking it out is the first step. Love you!

I just started following because I had heard good things about your channel. This is the first video I’ve watched. Oh how this speaks to my heart! 😭❤️ Honestly, just you putting this out there is so helpful to me. I struggle with the same things at times and it means so much to know that I’m not alone. I am looking forward to reading your blog post and reading some of the comments others have left. Sending you love! ❤️❤️❤️ I cant wait to go back and watch old videos and follow your future journey.

Thank you both! Your honesty has opened my eyes and made me realize I’ve gotten off my journey too. We really are all in this together.

I heard this then went and walked to complete my 10k steps. I have been slipping on my goals lately as well. Talking about it and understanding the issue is a great beginning. I ....me ... looks forward to your next post and hugs for your honesty and bravery! Keep moving towards the positive and get up when you fall. Here I am rambling like you... Peace!

To expect perfection is a form of sabotaging ourselves. A rule that usually helps me is not binge 2 days in a row. Best best for both.

I am so much relating to your struggle Jessica! I sabatouge my own joy and won’t let myself succeed and win! I’m rooting for you!!

This is THE BEST video. Thank you for doing it. I am sorry that the struggle is so real, Jessica. I am all up in that ‘tomorrow’ struggle that I have been wrestling with all of my adult life. Just seeing this from you has helped me put that struggle into a certain perspective for me so I can more clearly DO something to overcome it. So again, thank you. I also love and appreciate Brian’s loving presence and listening. ♥️

Hooray for purrrfectly imperfect imperfections! I'm especially inspired by your sharing, Jessica. And the loving gaze and response, Brian, was/is quite beautiful. Thank you both for sharing this real slice of life from the heart of the Krock Kitchen. 💝 Sandy

I couldn't agree more Jessica! I am terrified of putting the weight back on. Absolutely terrified. Sending you positive energy!

Thank you for your raw honesty! You are definitely not alone!

Thank you so much for making this video! I am constantly fighting this battle. Every weekend I derail, and then every Monday I start over. I'm so glad knowing I'm not the only one who struggles with this. I think what you said about not being in your normal routine is key, and something I never acknowledged before. Thank you for your rawness!

Must be the time of year. Lots of us are going through the same thing. Love ya, Jessica. Let's get past this.

You two are wonderful and such a great couple. Keep going! You can do this!

This is the most beautiful video y’all have posted since day 1. Jessica, you have touched the hearts and souls of most of us here, especially me.

You guys are so loving and kind to each other... keep it up. God bless you as you continue to be vulnerable and so encouraging to others.
