I think growing up with mothers that were always on diets or slimming etc have really affected some of us women. i've got the the point now where as long as my breakfast and lunch are healthy and nutrient packed then what i have for dinner doesn't really matter, i try to drink as much water as i remember to and move about as often as i can. also we just need to be kinder to ourselves, if you want some chocolate or half a pack of biscuits then bloody eat them. life is short, eat drink and be merry just make sure you work out and look after your body! its about finding a good equilibrium
I don’t really have rules about eating specific foods, but I do have rules about what I can have in my house. There are some foods I cannot have in my fridge because I will not be able to sleep if they are there - I need to finish them. I’m fine eating them while I’m out, but I can’t resist them at home.
That is a really good idea as we are not going to eat 5 slices of cake in a cafe or restaurant plus sitting in a nice environment makes you appreciate the food more❤
The last two and a half years I have been through absolute hell and watching Lauren every week has been a little bit of peace for me, so a massive Thank You Lauren !! ❤
Lauren stop apologising girl. We love you for who you are. Which alot of us subs relate to. Just do what your doing. Love you and watching your vlogs. Could watch you every day 🌞🌞❤
Hi Lauren, I didn't think this was boring at all. I really liked your advice about letting go of people or things that don't bring you joy or make you feel good about yourself. I've recently had to let go of two people for that very reason. It wasn't easy to do, but I know it was the right decision. Also, that green polkadot dress looked really pretty on you and enhanced your eyes!🌞
If you don’t dry your hair with 2 hair dryers after swimming is it even Lauren! 😂 I’ve watched enough of your videos now to know this works a treat! 🙌🏼🤣 Your passion for editing certainly shines through , always a joy to watch Lauren . Hope u had a lovely day ❤
For me it’s about balance and that’s it in a nutshell. I eat fairly healthy through the week but allow myself one day to have whatever I want . It works. I have lost 47kg with this mindset , had major skin removal surgery and lost a further 9kg. It’s all about what works works for you now and in the long term x
I avoid ice cream, crisps and bread because I simply cannot control myself around them. I overeat them, so it’s just easier not to have them in the first place xx
I have the same problem with bread. Being a Brit living in the US the bread here is shockingly bad and full of additives. I make my own because it’s healthier and tastier. The problem with that is I eat so much more of it.
@@katerich1290 I donated my bread maker for that very reason! I now buy a sourdough loaf from a local artisan baker - they slice it for me and I freeze it. Because it's twice the price of crappy bread, I REALLY savour it, and eke it out until the next month's loaf! Maybe you could freeze yours? Would just take a little bit more effort to eat it...
For my BED what helped me was realizing I can eat whenever and whatever I want. I don't need to hide it, I just want to actually enjoy it. I don't want to be sick or have a headache or any of that. So I choose based on what I actually like. Also, I'm not a child with food poverty anymore. If I wanted to buy 35 cakes, I could afford to do it. Eating whole foods and making new recipes or making food that's actually comforting really is fun. I look at being able to enjoy my food and body as a privilege. I'm enjoying myself ✨️🎀
I have a love hate relationship with food. If I am bored I eat, if I am sad I eat, if I am happy I eat. I am overweight and always have been, I want to loose weight but my mind set won't let me. I love your vlogs. ❤
I will not accept your apology lovely Lauren because your videos, including this one are always like a hug for me. It’s just lovely to see you and how your week went. Lots of love xx
Your video’s are never boring Lauren ☀️ I haven’t watched any for months due to going through Depression.. but then thought your vids would make me smile.. so I’m making my way through them 😌 keep being wonderfully you xx
You've got me doing the 'future me' thing now! It's amazing when I'm feeling tired but need to do housework! You're not boring, you're lovely and down to Earth! ☀☀☀
I know several 70 yr old women who still have diets😮 due to doing it all their lives. Having worked with those with Alzheimer’s, you come to understand as long as they are eating something doesn’t matter about the nutrition. Now I am nearly 60 years old I look after my health not my weight ❤
i have noticed recentley that i have more rules around food and eating if i'm by myself. but if i'm with others and in my community sharing a meal, i am much more relaxed and often eat intuitively. its like the food noise disapates when i am enjoying myself around others!
Love you, lauren, allllll the way from brisbane australia. I dont tell people ive never met thwr i love them usually, but you feel like a sister almost, someone who is very genuine and straightforward but always radiating goodness. Its really important right now. For everyone.❤
So impressive that you almost always back into parking spots! I almost never do that! Also, I just discovered your channel last week and it is lovely! Such a fun vibe and I love all the scenic driving clips and getting to see the city and the countryside! Much love from Canada!
Hi Lauren, I'm reading Ultra-Processed People just now, too, and it really is an eye opener as to what is being put in our food. I love your channel so much. ❤️ Love, Annie. xxx
thank you Lauren. you are never boring, you make more sense than you'll ever realise and you keep it as real as you can. It can't always be easy sharing your life on social media, but you talk about and share the things that many other people won't do, and that's what makes you relatable to people like me who has very similar anxiety and food issues, and self esteem/self doubt issues, and I also use humour a lot but I think us anxiety fuelled people always do have a great sense of humour. Sending nothing but love and good vibes to you flower, love Julée xx
i have had an awful day ready to give up on life but seeing your video in notifications has given me something to look forward on this horrible day going to make a cup of peppermint tea and watch and relax ❤
Hi Lauren, I’ve been a sub for a few months now and have recently been binge watching from the start of your channel, I just want to say one thing, no matter what you have weighed one thing is obvious, you are STUNNING!!
I'm on a diet, last 6 wks i have had a super strict routine, bowl of shreddies breakfast, salad, fat free yogurt and apple for lunch then dinner quorn burger, veges. Snack in evening apple and a fibre 90 snack bar. Weight dropping off. Only tea/coffee or diet coke to drink. I'm super motivated and the routine of my eating helps me x
You lovely lady! I’m six weeks post bariatric surgery. I’m struggling with my mental health, and have high self hatred as I’m not losing the weight I thought I would. Even though I’m sticking to the diet. I love your honest discussions about your relationship with food, and your general ‘daft ness ‘ 😄😄😄❤️❤️❤️
Watched you for years. Lauren, you are like the best friend I’ve never had or met.....I watch you on a Wednesday. It’s the best down time I get plus I can relate to so much. I struggle with Anxiety and my guilty eating habits. Always watching you with Love ♥️😊 A coffee coming your way beautiful ☕️💋☀️☀️☀️☀️
I love your videos Lauren .. I’m going through a really bad break up and I hv been so down but watching you is really keeping me going at the moment so thank you from sunny Cheshire 💚🤍💚🤍
Not a boring video at ALL one of my fave parts of the week Been having a bit of a shit time and recently dropped out of uni lol, but idk watching you and having an hour of just zoning out whilst doing so is deffo one of my fave times. Thank you sm Lauren, keep being you!
So sorry you're having a bad time. I am the mother of two 22 year old twins who have just finished uni and it was touch and go for one of them whether he'd make it through as he suffers from anxiety. I really feel for you and hope you have some support and love from someone. Uni isn't for everyone so be kind to yourself and try to do what will make you happy. Sending big love and hugs XX
Oh Lauren you make me feel so good , everything you say is right to me and it really helps me, I hope that you knowing it helps me helps you aswell. Love your videosxxx❤
I have such a crap relationship with food, I’ve been overweight my whole adult life and feel like it makes me hate myself… I’m 53 n want to just be happy with who I am, why is that so hard? I need to be more like you! My anxiety makes me feel like I constantly am doing the wrong thing.. *sigh*
No matter how bad my day is, if I see you have a video uploaded, I always watch. You instantly make me feel so much better. I love you girl, keep up the real 💕💕💕💕
I love your videos, you are so honest , fun, interesting and many impactful thoughts. Sending you a coffee and a hug from Brooklyn. Ps. Your content is never boring, it’s awesome. ❤
I am trying not to eat between meals. I let myself have whatever I want & as much as I want at mealtimes but then that’s it until the next meal. I have no control if I start snacking I end up eating so much I can’t eat my meals. It’s not healthy, it’s a waste of money & a bad example for my daughter. I’m obese & all the women on my mums side have type 2 diabetes I don’t know how I’ve avoided it so far but I know my luck won’t last forever so changes have to be made!
Doing so many diets which in turn has manifested ED, I end up feeling so guilty, if there’s one thing I’m scared of and that is my body image! I love watching you and your so real ! ❤
Hi Lauren! Love your vlogs, I actually love the breathing parts, they remind me to slow down. It wasn't boring at all. I'm watching from Argentina. We used Google maps a lot usually it's pretty accurate. Hugs to you🎉
Lauren, thanks so much for your wise words, you've said lots on this video that applies to me, I've said to myself the words out loud as that works for, even when I knew I've had washing to put away, I did it when you hoovered! And watched the rest ofvthe video while ironing, thanks beautiful lady xx
Hi Lauren! I’m a new watcher of your videos and I just want to say I absolutely adore your content! You are such a bright light for so many of us and I just wanted to say thank you for everything you share with us. I have also recently been on a journey with my relationship with food and movement as I’ve had a pretty toxic relationship with them in the past (unfortunately as most women and girl tend to do.) I’ve found the only foods I seem to have trouble viewing neutrally is anything sweet. It’s just been so deeply engraved in me that too much sugar and sweets are “bad” for you even tho I was eating sweets relatively in moderation. I just constantly felt guilty and that lead to WAY more sweet cravings. I started having a little sweet treat with all of my meals (I’m not much of a snacker when I make sure I’m eating enough at meal times) and that helped loads!! Just a small snack pack of Oreo’s or something to give that sweet kick. It showed my brain that the sweets are always available to me and I don’t need to think about them all of the time. Eventually I didn’t want a sweet snack with every meal and I just had them whenever I wanted. It’s exactly like you said “you won’t be able to eat cake forever.” I’m still learning and growing with my relationship with food and movement but overall it’s going pretty well so far. You are also doing absolutely AMAZING btw and don’t forget it!!! Life isn’t linear, recovery isn’t linear. All we can do is our best :))
Just came here to say thank you for inspiring me to get up and go to the pool for a swim for the first time in years. YOU inspired that in me. Much love ❤
🌞I love you and I agree that I watch you because I want the best for myself as well as the best for you and all your supporters. I have always wanted scones like that and sitting in a beautiful english garden eating them, well that is a dream come true. You are so blessed to have such wonderful parents, and they are blessed to have you as well. It's almost independence day here in the states and I must admit I wish we never left king and country I would much rather be over there having those scones.😋 Have a great week Lauren!!!
I love watching you! The insight you have shown speaks to me. I have deleted a few subscriptions to people on here because I don’t want to get caught up in the drama and mindset of the people I follow unless it’s positive and I want to be able to get something positive back. I followed a person years ago and even though she was not a plus size person I enjoyed her content. One day she was talking about being bigger and she said “blubbery” fat and I commented and unsubscribed because I was shocked at the comment. I needed to see your vlog today and thank you
You’re a ray of 🌞 Lauren!! It was funny the way you thanked yourself when the word ‘wedding’ get stuck and then eventually tumbled out!! I do that all the time and I will thank myself like you did the next time it happens to me!! 😂 Lots of love XXX
☀really loved this one, thank you! started my day in my head but put this on while starting some emails and it brought me memories of lovely lovely england in summertime. i studied abroad in brighton in college so many years ago. after the vlog, i have images of wildflowers and gardens and summer fruits and yogurts in my head☀
☀️ You are never boring! Just saying. Yes, hay fever has been bad this year, I’m in Canada and it’s terrible. Not sure what happened but it seems it’s affecting everyone with allergies tremendously. Have a great week. 🥰
🌞☀️ You motivated me to want to clean my house finally tomorrow lol its happening girl! Just saying hi again! Watching you love yourself and take care of yourself makes me want to that again also..i could cry.. I definitely watch you with love & i watched the whole video through. Thanks for being you and sharing..its motivating and nice to know we arent alone 🤗 ❤ Have a great week! Until next time i stumble on here lol..
I appreciate your honesty in your daily life. I try to avoid sugers and too many carbs most days but then crave them some days still eat healthy and balanced diet so I feel healthier and have more energy to work. I'm terrible with drinking water. Love your channel ❤️
Sending you lots and lots of love. You deserve it. We all need it. You are a hugely introspective person even though you seem to hide it. And maybe a little lonely? Well, so am I. Well, don't be. You are not alone.
A lot of the ultra processed foods are addictive as you have said. Once you give them up you may go through a withdrawal of sorts and then you just stop craving them. Last month I put a ban on processed supermarket products, trying to eat a healthier diet. I've not found it difficult because my food bill is going to be cheaper and that's a great incentive. I've always banned anything that might be a snackable food because I just have no self control and if it's not there I won't eat it. I'm quite good at not impulse buying in the supermarket, but I feel like I am constantly battling with myself between my health and my love of food. :/
Be careful with grapefruit, they mess up many medications so for most medications, you are never allowed grapefruit because it either deactivates them or makes the effect of the meds too strong! So for some hours around my meds times I can't have dairy but I am forbidden to have grapefruit at any time of day! ❤ xx
Not boring to me. I look forward to your vlog so much. I remember having grapefruit in the 70's and my Mum would cut it in half and we would use a little plastic serrated slightly curved knife to cut out the segments! I'm really suffering with hayfever this season. Loved the polka dot dress. Could you do a GRWM section. I love your makeup. 👍 🌞 ☀️ 🌤 🌅 ❤ 🫂 🤗

Congrats! Amazing job!
What would a typical healthy day for you look like?
That's actually a pretty good idea, I'll have to try this myself.
I avoid ice cream, crisps and bread because I simply cannot control myself around them. I overeat them, so it’s just easier not to have them in the first place xx
I'm the same...once I start that's it...dooomed
I'm the same, add cakes and chocolate to that lisr, lm convinced it's a blood sugar thing as when doing keto/very low carb l don't have the issue.
I have the same problem with bread. Being a Brit living in the US the bread here is shockingly bad and full of additives. I make my own because it’s healthier and tastier. The problem with that is I eat so much more of it.

It showed my brain that the sweets are always available to me and I don’t need to think about them all of the time. Eventually I didn’t want a sweet snack with every meal and I just had them whenever I wanted. It’s exactly like you said “you won’t be able to eat cake forever.”
I’m still learning and growing with my relationship with food and movement but overall it’s going pretty well so far.
You are also doing absolutely AMAZING btw and don’t forget it!!! Life isn’t linear, recovery isn’t linear. All we can do is our best :))
Sending love and thanks for your wise words and bringing joy to so many people xx
Just came here to say thank you for inspiring me to get up and go to the pool for a swim for the first time in years. YOU inspired that in me. Much love ❤
dear Lauren, I love it when you are happy ☀️
🌞I love you and I agree that I watch you because I want the best for myself as well as the best for you and all your supporters. I have always wanted scones like that and sitting in a beautiful english garden eating them, well that is a dream come true. You are so blessed to have such wonderful parents, and they are blessed to have you as well. It's almost independence day here in the states and I must admit I wish we never left king and country I would much rather be over there having those scones.😋 Have a great week Lauren!!!
I love watching you! The insight you have shown speaks to me. I have deleted a few subscriptions to people on here because I don’t want to get caught up in the drama and mindset of the people I follow unless it’s positive and I want to be able to get something positive back. I followed a person years ago and even though she was not a plus size person I enjoyed her content. One day she was talking about being bigger and she said “blubbery” fat and I commented and unsubscribed because I was shocked at the comment. I needed to see your vlog today and thank you
Lauren I adore you x thank you for sharing your world with us :) have a beautiful night/day :) Sending you love from AUS
You’re a ray of 🌞 Lauren!! It was funny the way you thanked yourself when the word ‘wedding’ get stuck and then eventually tumbled out!! I do that all the time and I will thank myself like you did the next time it happens to me!! 😂 Lots of love XXX
I’m grateful when my brain complies 🤣
I always love the little trailer you do at the start of the vlog 🤎🤘

Summer, I'm lying in bed listening to the rain absolutely bouncing off the skylight ☀️☀️☀️☀️
☀️ You are never boring! Just saying. Yes, hay fever has been bad this year, I’m in Canada and it’s terrible. Not sure what happened but it seems it’s affecting everyone with allergies tremendously. Have a great week. 🥰
I have never had hay fever as bad as this year. My eyes are permanently watering, and the sneezing is awful. 👀 👃
I love your vlogs. I recently gave myself permission to eat with no restrictions. I noticed I no longer crave the processed and/or fast food
Those pool shots were fun! Thanks for another vlog hanging out with you. 🖤
🌞☀️ You motivated me to want to clean my house finally tomorrow lol its happening girl!
Just saying hi again! Watching you love yourself and take care of yourself makes me want to that again also..i could cry..
I definitely watch you with love & i watched the whole video through. Thanks for being you and sharing..its motivating and nice to know we arent alone 🤗 ❤
Have a great week! Until next time i stumble on here lol..
I appreciate your honesty in your daily life. I try to avoid sugers and too many carbs most days but then crave them some days still eat healthy and balanced diet so I feel healthier and have more energy to work. I'm terrible with drinking water. Love your channel ❤️
🎵🎶 You are my 🌞!! My only 🌞!! You make me haaaaappy, when skies are gray. 🎶🎵
Sending you lots and lots of love. You deserve it. We all need it. You are a hugely introspective person even though you seem to hide it. And maybe a little lonely? Well, so am I. Well, don't be. You are not alone.
☀!!! I'm always so happy when I see you posted a new vlog. I don't find them boring at all, I love watching your videos. Take care
Loved this vlog Lauren ❤️ would you consider selling your prints on Etsy or Vinted ? Would love to purchase one ! The mermaid is beautiful ! Xx
A lot of the ultra processed foods are addictive as you have said. Once you give them up you may go through a withdrawal of sorts and then you just stop craving them. Last month I put a ban on processed supermarket products, trying to eat a healthier diet. I've not found it difficult because my food bill is going to be cheaper and that's a great incentive. I've always banned anything that might be a snackable food because I just have no self control and if it's not there I won't eat it. I'm quite good at not impulse buying in the supermarket, but I feel like I am constantly battling with myself between my health and my love of food. :/
Be careful with grapefruit, they mess up many medications so for most medications, you are never allowed grapefruit because it either deactivates them or makes the effect of the meds too strong! So for some hours around my meds times I can't have dairy but I am forbidden to have grapefruit at any time of day! ❤ xx
Thank you. I am off of my medication now x
@@LiveitlikeLauren Ooh enjoy then, I've never had a grapefruit but they look yummy ❤️
I just loving watching you living your life and just talking to us ❤
Hi Lauren - I found you recently. I adore you. Thank you for being you 🤞🏾❤️☺️
Not boring to me. I look forward to your vlog so much. I remember having grapefruit in the 70's and my Mum would cut it in half and we would use a little plastic serrated slightly curved knife to cut out the segments! I'm really suffering with hayfever this season. Loved the polka dot dress. Could you do a GRWM section. I love your makeup. 👍 🌞 ☀️ 🌤 🌅 ❤ 🫂 🤗
🌞🌞🌞 yr face said it all with screaming child 🤣 sending love Xx
Hahaha 😝
Love watching your channel Lauren! And hoping I’ll bump in to you around Hertford or Barnet one day! ☀️ 🫶🏽
feeling tired and anxious is normal that’s life just think about if you have no feelings and or no emotions your doing amazing sending love and hugs❤
