Thank you so much for sharing your rational, compassionate and kind perspective. I'm so glad you are here on RUclips helping people see the healthy side of food and exercise (:
No tracking, restricting foods or daily weigh in's for me. The mirror is my only guide. Some days I look slimmer, others I'm holding more water than I like, but I've learned to ride the wave with a calm mind. It also helps to know why your body is reacting the way it does. ❤️ Happy Holidays!
yep! best way for me is how my clothes are fitting. some days tighter than others. i am honest about my eating habits and realise i’m overeating or snacking lately and just cut back a little. always have been the same weight with 5-10 pound fluctuations throughout the year
STEPH! I’ve literally been following you since I was 18 (I’m 23 now) and I just am so thankful for your journey and your openness. And CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations on the engagement Steph! 😊 Also, I really needed this video. I feel like majority of my weight gain comes during this season and I really want to navigate it healthily (mentally too) ❤
This is such good content…. As a vegan athlete I’ve been happily thriving on a plant based diet for years now but that doesn’t mean that there wasn’t holiday food guilt along the way. No matter what diet you follow, Stephanie’s guidelines in this video are totally on point! 🙏💕
Such an important and inspirational message Stephanie! I was in this mindset for the longest time. Obsessed with watching the scale going down and going into a frenzy if it didn't. Quickest way to developing a truly unhealthy relationship with food. I'm a big fan of intuitive eating and believing it's a lifestyle not a short stint to be able to eat again, thanks to you! Happy Holidays :D
I fricken love this…. Thank you so much because you didn’t only say not to be afraid of eating you literally gave evidence on how silly it is of us to be so scared of enjoying these delicious meals that come around once a year!!! Thank you!
Thanks Steph. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Thanks for being raw and always open. Thanks for showing the highs and sometimes lows of how you got to where you are from restrictive eating. You are an inspiration but more importantly you are happier, healthier and not controlled by food but in control of your food and don’t let your body size dictate your happiness. Something I know I have learnt from and hope is passed onto others that might be struggling ❤
Thank you for making this video Steph!! You inspired me so much in my own all in and weight gain journey. And I'm so happy for you and Jeff!! This was a great video to start the holiday season. I'm so grateful I have food freedom and can actually enjoy the food this year!! Love you tons girl 🥰❤💕💕💕
So much love to you. I am still on the way to finally eat 100% intuitive and leaving all of those food rules, diet thoughts and calories behind me. You are a big inspiration for me and videos like this one remind me of what really matters: enjoying food, without guilt, because it also feeds the soul. ♡
These few years I rediscovered my relationship with food (in a more positive light) thanks to you. I felt like I was really with you on your journey lol. Happy Holidays Steph
Im so proud of you btw, with all your progress and mentality changes, you help me get through my ed, when im at my lowest, rewatching this video is so helpful, i thank you.
Thanks for pep talk! After watching other influencers who tell you not to eat certain holiday dishes because it will cause you weight gain, it's refreshing to hear another academic say you can't gain that much weight in one meal. Hallelujah! Thank you for being upfront and honest ❤.
STEPHANIE ❤❤❤ congrats❤ u and Jeff are the best! My favourite fitness couple on RUclips! I’ve been binging on your videos lately to help me with my postpartum weight loss journey! U always set me straight with how to love my body, food and enjoy life! I hope you know how many ppl you touch! I’m gonna make good choices and pig out! Happy Thanksgiving everyone🦃
what you said about food guilt hit home. I feel like im always thinking about food and stressing about it; that even when i eat it, i literally feel like i still forbade myself from it.
It felt so amazing to watch this video and truly feel like I didn't fit into either of those two groups! I have definitely had both mentalities in the past, so it feels great to finally find some sort of middle ground :)
stephanie.. you have helped me so much with overcoming an eating disorder. your relationship with food back from before you went all in and til now has inspired me to fix my own. you’re such a sweet and bubbly person, it makes me feel so happy to just watch your videos. endless love and thanks, yujia ❤❤
I used to have issues with eating and dieting around the holidays, but I don’t anymore and I think a part of that change was from what I’ve learned in your videos over the years. Thank you! Happy holidays!
Steph, I've been with you since the beginning of every single bit of your journey. I'm 34 years with a great career and a cozy family to come to by the end of the day.. and yet I'm still working my way to have a healthy relationship with food. Your journey has meant a lot to me, Thank you... especially for this last advice. Happy holidays
Love this!!! I spent at least 7 years of my life feeling guilty over the holidays and now I enjoy them so much, mindfully of course! Thanks again Steph for everything you do for this community ❤️
Thank you for caring enough about your audience to put out this message! Following your journey the past few years have helped me have a better & more positive relationship with food & my body. ❤
Thank you so much, I have been struggling with an eating disorder for the last 2 years and this is my first thanksgiving in recovery. This video made me feel much less anxious.
this is so necessary and supportive and please keep sharing like this Stephanie!!! i remember the anxiety and sadness i dealt w every year around the holidays and i feel for anyone dealing w that, things can be better!!!
Intuitive eating/nutrition and exercising regularly in ways that you genuinely enjoy (plus getting adequate sleep) are the three biggest keys to health. As someone who’s struggled with EDs for years and is in recovery, everything stated in this video makes so much sense. ❤
I'd love to have you interview an eating disorder therapist who can touch on self love and self worth issues and how that attributes to eating disorders.
Not to mention that in scenario 2 you spend the entire day practicing self discipline and you miss out on living in the moment and connecting with loved ones
Thank you so much for this video, I needed this reminder so much. I've caught myself working out extra hard the past few days in preparation, and was feeling so guilty for not making it to the gym today. You are the best 💕
I'm so glad I found this bc during Christmas I've gained 3 lbs and I was so upset with myself. Normally when I eat a lot one day I gain a little bit it goes back down when I'm asleep but that didn't happen this time. So I hope I can get it back down to what it was ❤️✨
Thank u Stephanie I so needed to hear this as I have been struggling for the past few years when it comes to the holidays and indulging to sometimes wishing they would not even happen just to avoid the anxiety. This past thanksgiving I fell into the first scenario and then I felt awful for letting myself think that after eating the delicious meals would be erased the next day with intense workouts. Thank u again for the reminder on keeping a healthy relationship. It’s really difficult and also tied to your emotional state hope you enjoy holidays ahead
I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for this important reminder. I already know all these points mentioned BUT! I have a hard time applicating them and trusting myself during holidays to not go into my old lanes of self-destructing thoughts. They always lead me to a binge loop.
Steph, please address the problems of eating while dealing with diabetes or pre-diabetes. Not just during the Holidays, but year round. I die every time I watch you eating doughnuts !
After being on a diet in order to lose 30 pounds, getting myself out of food guilt and not feeling bad about eating things that I know will make me temporarily gain weight on the scale, is where I’m at right now. I had previously lost weight twice in the past only to gain back the 40 or so pounds but I won’t let that happen again. Balance, balance
It's not that I fear gaining weight from one or two meals. It's more like my body/mind sees them as a signal that from then on we can have these foods/amounts of foods every day and once I got a taste of just "being allowed everything" there is no going back.. Anyone else?
OMG are you engaged? Congratulations Stephanie Buttermore. That ring is big 😱😱😱😱😱i love you,re ring hope you and Jeff are happy together. You guys are adorable together 👍🏾👋🏾😁
Thanks for the video 💖 congrats on the engagement! My issue is that during the holidays I go out to a lot of dinners (which is nice) but I get anxious that over time that builds up. I try to no longer get anxious over just one meal tho!
It is absolutely sickening that one can turn such a celebration into "fear" and "anxiety". Eat your damn food and be grateful for it! It's called "Thanksgiving" after all. It is not only crazy but also incredibly incentive to all the people in other parts of the world who are facing real hunger every day. What a bubble we are living in!
You clearly have no understanding of an eating disorder and what it can do to you and your loved ones. I wish it was that simple as to “eat the damn food”. I suffer from an eating disorder for over 20 years now , all I can think about is how I can try and cancel family who are coming over for Christmas or how I can lose weight until I get to Christmas so I can eat on Christmas Day. It’s an awful way to live and I wouldn’t wish this on anyone .
I love these helpful insights and tips, thank you so much for sharing. The feelings of shame and guilt never really dissolve but I am slowly learning to just let go and enjoy!
My name is Stephanie too 🥰 my husband and I just got married in July after almost EIGHT years together. Let all those 'why aren't you married yet' comments just brush off you. Im so happy for you.
Good points! I just get a small amount of everything, so I get to try it all and only go back for the things that were my favorite. I never stuff myself because I don’t like that Thanksgiving food baby feeling 😂 Unless you’re on prep, it’s usually best to just enjoy in moderation!
Happy Holidays! Love you!! 😘
Happy Holidays Stephanie!! Love you too!! ❤️😘😍🥰
Happy holidays! I’ve loved your videos for years 🖤
Wow really awesome...much love from India 💕💕... Also your fitness stuff are just so awesome and effective ..and yes happy holidays to you dear !!
Thank you so much for sharing your rational, compassionate and kind perspective. I'm so glad you are here on RUclips helping people see the healthy side of food and exercise (:
Are you engaged?! I see that ring! 💍
I almost spit out my tea seeing that ring 💍
she’s extra taken now 💍🥰
@@StephanieButtermore Congratulations to you and Jeff. Blessings of peace and abundance to you both!!

Finally!! Yay....
No tracking, restricting foods or daily weigh in's for me. The mirror is my only guide. Some days I look slimmer, others I'm holding more water than I like, but I've learned to ride the wave with a calm mind. It also helps to know why your body is reacting the way it does. ❤️ Happy Holidays!
Be careful. Your eyes trick you. You’re better off getting a body fat machine.

Do you only talk about eating? I thought “all in” fixed your obsession with it?
tbh she talks about it all the time
THE RING🔥 about spit my water out when I saw on Instagram, congrats to both of you! Lovedddd this video too

Watching this video one week before Christmas and I needed it. Thank you so much girl you always know what to say 😍
Thank u Stephanie I so needed to hear this as I have been struggling for the past few years when it comes to the holidays and indulging to sometimes wishing they would not even happen just to avoid the anxiety.

I've been watching your YT videos for several years now. You are so inspiring and you encouraged me to start my channel! Congrats to you and Jeff!!! ❤
Truly appreciate this video, Stephanie! Going into this Thanksgiving with a grateful heart and joy!
I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for this important reminder. I already know all these points mentioned BUT! I have a hard time applicating them and trusting myself during holidays to not go into my old lanes of self-destructing thoughts. They always lead me to a binge loop.
Absolutely love this! Eat freely, enjoy, the continue as normal! That is my plan for today and the holiday season. 💖
Steph, please address the problems of eating while dealing with diabetes or pre-diabetes. Not just during the Holidays, but year round. I die every time I watch you eating doughnuts !
Thank you, Steph. Really needed this one. Going to indulge tomorrow and not worry about what happens. Obv not going overboard. Thank you so much
Congratulations on your engagement!!! You can't miss the beautiful diamond ring!!!! All the best guys from Australia!!!!

Lovely video, great message - just what I needed! :)
Thank you I needed this! I would love to see Jeff's opinion and personal experience with this topic as someone who tracks but hasn't had a disorder
this was really needed, thank you Steph!
I'm totally obsessed with your channel the last few days
This video helped me so much this Holiday season Stephanie. Appreciate you 💫🥂❄️😊
It's not that I fear gaining weight from one or two meals. It's more like my body/mind sees them as a signal that from then on we can have these foods/amounts of foods every day and once I got a taste of just "being allowed everything" there is no going back.. Anyone else?

When you make these types of videos, they make me feel all types of warm and fuzzy on the inside 🥰
Stephanie you are so smart. Another amazing vid
Been there, done that. Literally everything she mentioned in the video. The former. The later. EVERYTHING.
Great video, Stephanie! Thank you 💕
Its so crazy how much mindset matters!
Stephanie, what are u doing to your face? 😢
You look so different from a couple years ago.
check fillers, Lip injections, and who knows what else
I love this video, I’m slowly moving towards the same mindset. I hope one day I can reach the point where you are now. :-))
