Teebs (aka Mtendere Mandowa) has been in the right place at the right time.… Read Full Bio ↴Teebs (aka Mtendere Mandowa) has been in the right place at the right time. The avid skater met esteemed workaholic producers Flying Lotus and Samiyam at a 2007 Red Bull Music Academy function in Orange County and later became immersed in Los Angeles's weekly future-bass hot spot the Low End Theory, witnessing the Gaslamp Killer, Daedelus, Kutmah, and others tear it up on the regular. An Achilles-tendon injury forced Teebs to take a year off from skating, which allowed him to focus on his music. He eventually ended up rooming with FlyLo and Samiyam, absorbing the rampaging, wonkily funky sounds he heard in his living space and then peace-ing them out into more blissful configurations.

I felt her on that "things got better for awhile" sentiment. My depression is like that too, I call it a 3 year rollercoaster, because up until more recently, I'd manage to keep things together for that long, and then collapse into dysfunction because I simply was not dealing with my issues and had no clue what the point of my life was.

After therapy and a lot - a LOT - of thinking, I've started working in a field I never thought I'd actually get work in, and I love it. I love doing it and the extremely positive feedback I get from my bosses is fantastic. It reinforces the thought that I'm doing something right and worthwhile. Plus I'm directly helping people. That matters a lot too. So I'm helping myself while helping others. That is huge in terms of motivation.

I recently realized I've gone over the three year since a breakdown mark and I'm still going! Took a stupidly long time, like really, but I'm actually living a true purpose that inspires me. I need to do stuff for other people still, I'm still trying to contend with the fact that I'm only truly motivated when I'm doing things for other people, and not myself. That's a self-worth issue I'm still working on.

I hope that she finds something that she can do to help others. People with depression are often overly sensitive, and that sucks in personal matters, but it's great when it's for other people. Like I can leave something for months but if someone says they need help I'll do it right away.

I want to help. I figured that out and it serves as a huge motivator. I hope she can find that. You don't have to become a full-time volunteer, I get paid to write, it's not like you have to leave your house to be of service. She can get herself better and be helpful at the same time.

And I hope she goes to Paris!! What a fantastic motivation! I hope she goes, it's worth it, I absolutely love Paris! She seems like a really great person and it would be amazing for her to start helping herself by helping others and then reward herself with a trip to Paris. I hope she can do it. We all deserve to find our purpose in the world and serve it. Helping others is a great purpose for existing.

I find it interesting that she eats in front of a mirror, standing up. Usually people mindlessly eat on a couch watching TV, which makes it easier for them to consume all that food. The fact that she’s watching her self eat adds a level of awareness to what she’s doing to her body. Very interesting. I’m praying for her healing.

Poor people are also more likely to be less educated and as a result, less articulate.

Losing weight isn't as complicated as anyone believes. The #1 thing is planned and structured diet, because the only way for your body to burn fat is to use it as energy. Basically, you need to eat below your energy maintenance level (in terms of calories) and your fat cells will be used to compensate the missing energy (calories). That's how your body works. There are other things to consider as well, such as hormonal status, diseases... but caloric deficit is a must. You have a lot of online diet planners and calculators, like Next Level Diet for example. Losing weight is pretty much just a simple math, really...

But very lil compassion for people who are literally eating themselves to death. It's just opposites sides of a very heartbreaking coin. Every action, has an equal and opposite reaction.

@sunshi4929

@Queen MOON not true. being overweight is never solely caused by genetics, but they play a huge role. Obesity runs in families, in ways such as slower base metabolisms, water retention, fat-burning rates, diseases like pcos, thyroid issues, and much more. (Also binge-eating disorders, so you are right about mental genetics) It doesn’t mean the person isn’t responsible for they way they look, just that it’s easier to become heavy for some people than it is others.

@Queen MOON Wrong my father used to eat mountains of food at 37 and he was only 164 mind you he's 5'11 all my uncles on my mom's side are heavier than my dad their whole life even if they're shorter and eat less food. Genetics are a huge factor. I can get lean but maintaining is so hard because it is so easy to gain weight when you have the genetics for it.

@Sammy-yv8sf

I feel her pain, sometimes when people tell you your capable and able to do things you want because of how you articulate your words or how you present yourself.. fear and pain gets in the way and you always fall back to your own coping mechanism/ comfort because your scared to take that first step.. bless her, I wish her nothing but happiness, success & determination.

She is one of the most aware people I’ve ever seen on my 600lb life. The fact that she could describe her addiction in vast detail is a sign she is ready to change. Ask not why the addiction but why the pain inside making me feel this way. From darkness to Light lead us out of our addictive minds & into the eternal Now of infinite abundance... generated simply by the inner knowing of our truest self. She described her addiction to food but I related that to my struggle with alcohol. It fits perfectly.
