Food guilt will pass...honestly it is just because of how food is perceived. I was so hungry all the time after a few months it slowed down I swear you will feel better. It is odd I really had a hard time with food guilt I was having bad dreams and honestly haven't gained any weight or lost any. I am still trying to find my way here its a awesome thing. ❤ Remember to love yourself first. I had had a hard time with anorexia and then bulimia for a long time I felt like crap then no matter how little I ate I was still gaining. Now I love myself...I am a queen sized now lol but I love me and my body. I am telling you it will be ok. No guilt and just want to be healthy happy no matter my pants size. Still learning my hunger cues no more crying about me...I love to work out so I stared that it's super fun I love it. Working on being the best version of me ❤.
Tonight I had a bowl 🥣 of Greek yogurt. I added a whole banana, pecans, a drizzle of peanut butter, sprinkle of cinnamon, and added some dark chocolate chips. I measured with my heart what felt good and was satisfying. Not with my judgements/ criticisms or guilt. I ate the amount and the ingredients that were satisfying to my body. And it feels so good! It’s such a breakthrough for me. I’m going through a very difficult season of life. I really needed this “win” today. I truly couldn’t have done this without your help!!
im 13 and late last year i struggled with anorexia. around the beginning of my recovery journey i found you on tiktok and i just want to tell you that you’ve really helped me separate from diet culture and understand that it’s okay to be hungry and it’s okay to listen to my body when it tells me it needs food, even after i’ve already eaten, ive eaten a lot today/yesterday, and even when i feel like i haven’t been eating very healthy. ive been a lot happier and have noticed substantially more energy, optimism, and a better zest for life. thank you so much for your work and i needed to let you know you’ve made a significant impact on my life! keep doing what you do and the world needs more people like you 💗
I really needed this video. I can get nervous listening to my appetite when i feel more hungry than usual. But im trying to practice honouring my cravings and appetite. Thanks colleen. These videos do make a difference ❤
Your tip on putting yogurt on toast is a game changer! I’ve started to put Greek yogurt on toasted bagels and I top it with granola and blueberries. It gives me energy and is so satisfying! I even got my husband to start doing it. 😂
HI, I recently found your channel and it has really helped me feel more comfortable eating what I am able to. I have multiple chronic illnesses and some days can only cope with certain foods. But when I can I try to eat a reasonably balanced diet. Your channel has helped me feel more at ease with the fact that some days all I have the capacity is a plate of beans on toast and an apple and other days I can eat a reasonable amount of varied food. I have always really enjoyed cooking as well but I haven't always had the best relationship with food because one of my symptoms is major weight fluctuations. Thank you for helping me to feel more comfortable to eat what I can when I can. If that means not eating much or eating only certain food types on a day when I have a flare, and then eating a bit more the next when I can both make and eat more variety it is ok.
Omg thanks for the pb&j overnight oats recipe. I saw it in the thumbnail and was sad thinking the recipe I would have to pay for I was so happy to see it free in the app and I just ate it this morning and it’s everything I ever wanted 😍 pb&j is one of my favorite things ever but it doesn’t fill me up this is a way better option for me that satisfies that craving!
I loved this video ♥️ I gained 5 pounds this winter and it’s been stressing me out because when this happens I get scared I’m going to just keep gaining until I’m back at the weight I used to be where I didn’t feel good mentally or physically. In reality I’m not ganna just gain 64 pounds when working out and eating healthy but I still get scared. So this was a good reminder that I can eat a little more on days I feel more hungry and I won’t gain a ton of weight Or probably any weight because my body clearly needed more food or it wouldn’t be so hungry.
Glad you found this video helpful! Just remember your set point weight (or weight your body feels best at) is a range. You will fluctuate daily and that is OK! I suggest trying not to weigh yourself if possible. (If you aren't ready for that step yet, that's ok too!) Try to go by how your body feels. 100%, your body's needs differ from day to day. Happy this vid gave you some encouragment!❤
Your site just popped up on my feed! 😊 I’m so happy! You are so fun, informative and beautiful! 🫶 Can’t wait to watch more of your content! Blessings! 🙏💕
Thanks to you , I now learned and understood and about intuitive eating and now I’m on my journey trying to eat without quilt and thanks to you once again I now go to bed feeling full and satisfied and happy so thank you so much ❤❤
Your content is so refreshing! your videos have helped me so much❤ dieting led me to a skinny fat body. Having such little muscle has led me to feel weak and very low energy. I am determined to gain more muscle have more food freedom this year 💪
Hi! I actually think your Videos are inspiring and entertaining at the same time. However I‘m wondering: why is there always a cut before you swallow? All I see is you putting food in your mouth and cut, another spoon in and cut. I have had an eating disorder and not swallowing food is quite common. I think, eating in videos is not only putting it in your mouth and maybe chewing on it(that is where most videos stop), but actually swallowing it. Just a thought. Have a great day and thanks for helping so many…
@@ColleenChristensen this last week I tried out your warm salad recipe LOVE it so much and so easy. Last video you did I tried out no chop chilli and it has been my weekly lunches the last few weeks. Oh and I love zuchinni in my oatmeal 😋.
I'd love to finish subscribing to your app but sadly we are tight financially. I think it's such a great thing, tho (I hope it does well!!), and I love your videos! I've noticed my self talk has become a little kinder and that's huge. I regularly share your videos with my (sweet but diet-minded) mom and older sister, and I love having 2 other intuitive-eating, body-positive sisters for encouragement!
I totally get that! I'd love to have you join the app whenever you are ready. No pressure at all! So happy you are noticing changes by watching content here. YOU are doing the work, my friend! So happy to hear that. Thank you so much for sharing my vids as well. Love that you are part of this food freedom community here on YT!❤ and I love that your IE journey is a family affair. SOOOO GOOD!
So good to see you have something other than all sweet things for the first half of your day. Not shaming, just saying I can't imagine eating all things sweet until lunch. Could you highlight quick breakfasts and morning snacks that are less sweet?
Really enjoy your videos! They're fun, informative, and you do a great job of talking like you're talking to an old friend. Great video, looking forward to more!
I love these protein bars but prefer them baked, I put a bar on top of Parchment paper and put inside of the cold oven then turn the oven to 350F , when it hits the temperature is ready! They are way better this way lol
I have been having trouble lately and not knowing when to stop eating. It’s like I’m a bottomless pit. I mean I know it’s normal to feel hungry, but it’s like I’m never not hungry!!! Do you have any tips on what I could do? I love your content!!!
@@phanhoa9752im pretty sure this person is trying to say that she is too thin and she looks starved so therefore : “her body is asking for food for a reason” so i think this is a “rude” comment
Started Weight Watchers' first week, so hungary. I'm trying to do both. Use my weeklies when needed but not over indulge. I'm really trying to work on food guilt.
Hi Colleen, I'd like to ask for your take on something. Do you happen to have any experience with gastritis? My doctor diagnosed me with that in the beginning of the month. Not the bacterial kind but caused by antibiotics and stress. I am on medication for that (protein pump inhibitor) and I am back to being able to eat almost everything I want. The thing is, my hunger and fullness feelings are completely messed up. I can go from feeling stuffed to starving and back in less than half a minute. For a significant portion of the day I feel like I'm hungry, but not really, but I need something in my stomach to feel better. Last week I was constantly snacking on something during work without ever knowing if I feel hungry or full or whatever. That has allready gone down but the constant feeling of not knowing what to feel in my stomach is really messing with my head. This happens with everything not just a specific food group. Carbs, protein, fats, pasta, meat, cake, fruit, veggies, chocolate, cookies, rice, potatoes, highly processed or minimally processed, there doesn't seem to be a pattern. I would greatly apreciate it if you could point me in the direction of some material that explains this and how to handle it.
Hey! Everyone is totally different but I get stress stomach aches! This can 10000% throw off your hunger and fullness cues and you might need to rely more on what I call "practical hunger" at that time which essentially is knowing what your body needs VS following physical cues. We go over this stuff in detail in the app. It's always a good idea to chat more with your doctor for specific medical needs! Hope that is a bit helpful!
I've had to be on a PPI too and have issues with acidic stomach and reflux. There are times when I feel like I'm really hungry but I know it's just acidic tummy, so I'll take some antacids.
Everything you just described is very normal with gastritis and or stomach ulcer recovery. Im currently healing from both and have in the past before. The meds can throw everything off, plus the hunger changes are normal. Or I will feel hungry, and then have pain moments later, before I can even eat anything. I have to snack here and there just to settle my stomach. Gaviscon and Gas x helps a lot, it’s safe to take with the PPI. Have they given you Carafate? It helps too. Hope you feel better and things get back to normal soon as well.
Your breakfast nook is adorable! I’m enjoying your channel, but trying to figure out this intuitive eating without gaining a ton of weight when I really need to lose about 10 pounds. :(
Thank you so much!! Once you start working on IE, your weight can fluctuate. You will either lose, gain, or stay the same. The goal is to get to your set point weight (or happy weight) that your body feels safest at and has not problem maintaining. It's perfectly ok to have the desire for weight loss, but I do suggest taking a weight neutral approach when working on IE.❤
Yes, absolutely! You can be an intuitive eater with dietary restrictions for medical reasons as well as being plant based! ! The SociEATy is for anyone who wants to repair their relationship with food and break up with diet culture!!
I totally understand! I would love to have you join the app whenever you are ready! Absolutely no pressure! In the meantime, stick around here for some encouragement on your IE journey!❤ Happy to have you here!!!
Thank you so much for being here! The app memberships is $39 USD per month or $299 USD for a year! I’d love for you to join the SociEATy if you feel like it’s a good fit for you! Here’s some more details about what the app has to offer! 🥰colleenchristensennutrition.com/
@@ColleenChristensenThanks for replying 😃. I’ll check it out further. Do you help people with weight loss too? I have diabetes & trying to reverse it. Doing ww but it’s not working bc I’m still eating “whatever” but tracking. So today I decided to cut sugars & grains for a bit to hopefully jump start my metabolism. I love your approach to food freedom but I also think I am gonna have to take some big steps to actually get the weight off. I do NOT want to take weight loss meds. The side affects & hearing all the people getting gastroporesis (sp?) & then they gain weight back bc their food cravings come crazy. I’m good to skip all that;). lol
i just came back from an exhausting though enjoyable boating trip and now i’m sick AND i’m pmsing so i’m a bottomless pit but i know my body’s needing more fuel right now to recover so, cool. she’ll get what she wants.☺️
So glad you had a fun time boating!!! That sounds amazing! Sorry you are sick and PMSing to boot! So glad you are giving your body what she wants and needs right now. So important! Great work my friend!❤
What if u don’t diet much but I still have 1100 of a metabolism rate from young I have only been under 50 kg for my entire life. I am vegetarian. My parents also have that less of a metabolism and are fine and I lose at least 400 calories in walking and do a little of weight lifting. will it increase my metabolism? I also am a person who doesn’t like donuts and don’t eat pasta that often.
My dog loves peanut butter but we do not feed him a lot of it because it is so high calorie and he is very prone to gaining weight. But he stares it out of your hands sometimes
Thank you so much for being here! Filling your social media feed with content creators that empower you in this area is a great way to get started with breaking up with diet culture! You got this!❤
Trigger warning: I’ve had anorexia for the past 5 years and have struggled immensely over the years. I found your channel recently and it has truly been a positive outlook on food and mindset of nutrition. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and insights here :)
We dont feed our dog peanut butter, but if we dare have popcorn without sharing, he will cry, plead, beg, and put his gigantic freaking paw on us. (Hes half piranese). I think he likes the salt, because he also likes tortilla chips. But popcorn is his favorite. My parents have had to lock him out of their room so that they can enjoy their popcorn
in every video i have seen she does not swallow the food on camera. she cuts the video so you never see her swallow so we dont know how much of it she actually eats. She had anorexia/exercise-addiction so she also may still be over-exercising or not fully recovered. its an illness so there are relapses. she may not be fully honest with her recovery. in her recent shorts shes looking noticeably thinner/tired and i am worried. tldr social media is not 100% accurate to real life. the things she says are usually sound but she may not be being honest about her own recovery or if shes relapsed. off camera we do not know what happens. try not to judge yourself based on her body and on these videos because she may not be fully recovered from her disorder and may not be portraying what she actually eats or how much she exercises afterwards accurately ❤
@breathedarlingokay you said that she looks tired more often and thinner but i feel like that could be from other factors. maybe she’s got a stressful job or can’t get enough sleep for whatever reason. also for her recovery, she has been a dietitian for quite some time now so how has she not been recovered and gaining some weight back by now? idk maybe she’s just exercises excessively but yeah in general there are a lot of factors to consider
@@ColleenChristensen yep! just don't add any pieces of pineapple to it, it pretty much ruins the texture (learned that the hard way..) just strain the juice out and use that. don't worry if it doesn't fill it up all the way or anything, it'll fluff up a ton!
I do it with canned pineapple and it's actually great. Use the sorbet setting. You can do any canned fruit - mango is also great. I was actually more impressed with how well it does fruit sorbet than ice cream.
I can do intuitive eating to maintain, but i gain weight every holiday or vacation, then it doesnt come off..over time it has amassed to too much weight.
Meal planning sounds intimidating at first, but take it slow. It makes life so much easier when you get the hang of it! Start by making a list of the foods you do enjoy on a daily/weekly basis. Then, try to add some carbs, fat , and protein to each meal. But most importantly, make sure it is satisfying to YOU! It'll take a little trial and error but experiment with different foods you feel comfortable with at first. You got this!❤
Hi! I didn't even realize I did! No reason! I do like to note that I'm a non-diet girlie, lots of people think dietitian and expect you to put them on a diet! Not here🙃
She is extremely skinny and always wears multiple layers because she is always cold. She also films herself eating but cuts before swallowing in all of her videos. I think her obsession with food is pretty apparent.
i can't control my self when it comes to eating, like i keep eating really bad foods is so difficult not to and i keep gaining weight. Any recommendations?
I had been dying to try the one of the overnight oats. I made the blueberry lemon ones today. Ummmmm, so delish!! Just as you expressed them to be. And I was filled up for a long time! We also keep a tub of cookies and cream in the freezer now too and I’m having control with sweets for the first time in my life. So happy about that! 🎉😊🎉
@@ColleenChristensen thank you! It’s truly life changing and a way I’ve never felt before…nourishing my body and really enjoying delicious food! I just could just go on and on 🥳
Hey poor ladies, why don't you understand that this woman doesn't eat? Take a closer look; she has edited all her videos. Have you noticed that she swallows her food? No, after a short video recording, everything comes out. Believe me, I know her.
Hey there! I actually do eat everything I share. If I kept the entire eating portion in we'd be here all day. If you don't like my content feel free to skip it!💕
Because when you’re so skinny, you are always cold! The body doesn’t have enough fat to keep you warm even at home :/ I’ve been there and it’s a struggle ://
@@DaPokeBossI don’t really think you have watched much of her videos! She is promoting eating what you want, when you want and how to fuel your body! If your just going to hate on people trying to get out of the diet system then please get out :)
Hi! I don't think I'm ever wearing a jacket in this video? A sweatshirt, yes, because they're comfy and that is what I usually wear. As I discuss in the video once my hat goes on it doesn't usually come off because, well, hat hair! If you don't like my videos or me you can feel free not to watch XOXO

The goal is to get to your set point weight (or happy weight) that your body feels safest at and has not problem maintaining. It's perfectly ok to have the desire for weight loss, but I do suggest taking a weight neutral approach when working on IE.❤
You remind me so much of Marsha Brady. I love your content!
This is too funny!!!
This was great to see, thank you! Will I benefit much from your app and programs if I follow a gluten free (celiac) and plant-based vegan diet?
Yes, absolutely! You can be an intuitive eater with dietary restrictions for medical reasons as well as being plant based! ! The SociEATy is for anyone who wants to repair their relationship with food and break up with diet culture!!
Your app seems so cool and right up my alley but unfortunately I can’t afford it right now 😢
I totally understand! I would love to have you join the app whenever you are ready! Absolutely no pressure! In the meantime, stick around here for some encouragement on your IE journey!❤ Happy to have you here!!!
How much is your app? Love your channel❤
Thank you so much for being here! The app memberships is $39 USD per month or $299 USD for a year! I’d love for you to join the SociEATy if you feel like it’s a good fit for you! Here’s some more details about what the app has to offer! 🥰colleenchristensennutrition.com/
@@ColleenChristensenThanks for replying 😃. I’ll check it out further. Do you help people with weight loss too? I have diabetes & trying to reverse it. Doing ww but it’s not working bc I’m still eating “whatever” but tracking. So today I decided to cut sugars & grains for a bit to hopefully jump start my metabolism. I love your approach to food freedom but I also think I am gonna have to take some big steps to actually get the weight off. I do NOT want to take weight loss meds. The side affects & hearing all the people getting gastroporesis (sp?) & then they gain weight back bc their food cravings come crazy. I’m good to skip all that;). lol
What brand of extracts do you use for your coffee? I love coconut flavored coffee ☕️ ❤
Honestly I buy whatever is cheapest on amazon LOL! I just looked and two are from Happy Home and the other McCormick!
@@ColleenChristensenoh thank you so much! I’m going to order some 😋
Thanks! I had an extra hungry day today.😊😊😊
Hungry days are just that.. Hungry days, and 100% ok!! Glad you gave your body what it needed!❤
You just have to microwave the chocolate brownie flavour for a bit to make them better!
Every time I try I burn it! Lol what is the secret?!?!
Those recipes look so good!
Thank you! They are pretty delish if I do say so myself.😉❤ If you give any of them a try, let me know what you think!
@@ColleenChristensen I made the peppermint mocha oats you showed in another video! Delish!💕
I love your videos!!!
XOXO! Thank you you're so sweet!
Hey :D, It's like a month since I descovert you channel and I love already love your videos
Does the bacon grease get all over the inside of your oven?
No! Not at all!
i just came back from an exhausting though enjoyable boating trip and now i’m sick AND i’m pmsing so i’m a bottomless pit but i know my body’s needing more fuel right now to recover so, cool. she’ll get what she wants.☺️
So glad you had a fun time boating!!! That sounds amazing! Sorry you are sick and PMSing to boot! So glad you are giving your body what she wants and needs right now. So important! Great work my friend!❤
What do you do when you aren't hungry as i have zero appetite lately😢
I feel the same way about the Beanie! I will put it on to go outside and it stays on until I go to bed!😂 I love your content, you are amazing!
Haha I'd rather keep it on than deal with the hat hair LOL plus it's comfy so why not right?!
@@ColleenChristensen Exactly!
those oats look sooo good 😭🩷
They are delish and so satisfying!
I LOVE YOUR WALLPAPER!!!!!
Thank you!🥰
That is such a cool breakfast idea :3
So so delish! Plus super filling so I can get on with mah day feelin' fueled!
I like eating oats with coconut and honey
What if u don’t diet much but I still have 1100 of a metabolism rate from young I have only been under 50 kg for my entire life. I am vegetarian. My parents also have that less of a metabolism and are fine and I lose at least 400 calories in walking and do a little of weight lifting. will it increase my metabolism? I also am a person who doesn’t like donuts and don’t eat pasta that often.
My dog loves peanut butter but we do not feed him a lot of it because it is so high calorie and he is very prone to gaining weight. But he stares it out of your hands sometimes
haha! Those pleading eyes can get ya!🤣
I’m hoping the more I watch you the more the diet mentality will get out of my brain!
Thank you so much for being here! Filling your social media feed with content creators that empower you in this area is a great way to get started with breaking up with diet culture! You got this!❤
is it normal to feel like this for 6 days for no reason?
Totally going to get that paint by numbers
Do it! So fun and V relaxing!❤
Really need a full video with all of your overnight oats recipes 😭
Check my most recent video! I shared a few combo ideas!
Trigger warning:
I’ve had anorexia for the past 5 years and have struggled immensely over the years. I found your channel recently and it has truly been a positive outlook on food and mindset of nutrition. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and insights here :)
I’m so glad these videos are helpful for you! Keep fighting the good fight! Proud of you for pursuing healing and food freedom. ❤️🙌
When I do that it turns into a binge
We dont feed our dog peanut butter, but if we dare have popcorn without sharing, he will cry, plead, beg, and put his gigantic freaking paw on us. (Hes half piranese). I think he likes the salt, because he also likes tortilla chips. But popcorn is his favorite. My parents have had to lock him out of their room so that they can enjoy their popcorn
Forgive me for saying but I dont understand how you can be so thin and eat al that. I gain weight by just looking at food 😢❤
in every video i have seen she does not swallow the food on camera. she cuts the video so you never see her swallow so we dont know how much of it she actually eats.
She had anorexia/exercise-addiction so she also may still be over-exercising or not fully recovered. its an illness so there are relapses.
she may not be fully honest with her recovery. in her recent shorts shes looking noticeably thinner/tired and i am worried.
tldr social media is not 100% accurate to real life. the things she says are usually sound but she may not be being honest about her own recovery or if shes relapsed. off camera we do not know what happens. try not to judge yourself based on her body and on these videos because she may not be fully recovered from her disorder and may not be portraying what she actually eats or how much she exercises afterwards accurately ❤
@breathedarlingokay you said that she looks tired more often and thinner but i feel like that could be from other factors. maybe she’s got a stressful job or can’t get enough sleep for whatever reason. also for her recovery, she has been a dietitian for quite some time now so how has she not been recovered and gaining some weight back by now? idk maybe she’s just exercises excessively but yeah in general there are a lot of factors to consider
plain pineapple juice is amazing in the creami!!
Aaah thanks! I just bought some canned pineapple! Is that what you use?
@@ColleenChristensen yep! just don't add any pieces of pineapple to it, it pretty much ruins the texture (learned that the hard way..) just strain the juice out and use that. don't worry if it doesn't fill it up all the way or anything, it'll fluff up a ton!
I do it with canned pineapple and it's actually great. Use the sorbet setting. You can do any canned fruit - mango is also great. I was actually more impressed with how well it does fruit sorbet than ice cream.
love the fdoe!!!!!
Thank you so much!❤
I can do intuitive eating to maintain, but i gain weight every holiday or vacation, then it doesnt come off..over time it has amassed to too much weight.
Thanks
Do you drink coffee? Every day?
I dooooo!
@@ColleenChristensen coffee is depleted calcium magnesium? Or not? Coffe every day is bad for electrolytes? Stomach? 🙏
I worry about it not being a healthy enough meal plan im always wortied what im eating is going to kill me slowly shit is stressfull
Meal planning sounds intimidating at first, but take it slow. It makes life so much easier when you get the hang of it! Start by making a list of the foods you do enjoy on a daily/weekly basis. Then, try to add some carbs, fat , and protein to each meal. But most importantly, make sure it is satisfying to YOU! It'll take a little trial and error but experiment with different foods you feel comfortable with at first. You got this!❤
I was wondering, why did you go from saying dietitian and nutritionist to non-diet dietitian?
Hi! I didn't even realize I did! No reason! I do like to note that I'm a non-diet girlie, lots of people think dietitian and expect you to put them on a diet! Not here🙃
Why does Theo go german at 3:02
Why after I have so big problems after this food 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️stomach 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Are you no longer going to be sharing free recipes? I hate that the only way to get anything now is to pay for your app
Hey! No I'll still share lots of free recipes! I have my basic oat recipe on the screen in this video =) I share more in shorts too!
She is extremely skinny and always wears multiple layers because she is always cold. She also films herself eating but cuts before swallowing in all of her videos. I think her obsession with food is pretty apparent.
i can't control my self when it comes to eating, like i keep eating really bad foods is so difficult not to and i keep gaining weight. Any recommendations?
What does your husband do (as a job) ? Xx
yaay
You're first
I had been dying to try the one of the overnight oats. I made the blueberry lemon ones today. Ummmmm, so delish!! Just as you expressed them to be. And I was filled up for a long time! We also keep a tub of cookies and cream in the freezer now too and I’m having control with sweets for the first time in my life. So happy about that! 🎉😊🎉
Aaaaah love that so much!!!!!! You are amazing!! So happy for you!
@@ColleenChristensen thank you! It’s truly life changing and a way I’ve never felt before…nourishing my body and really enjoying delicious food! I just could just go on and on 🥳
Hey poor ladies, why don't you understand that this woman doesn't eat? Take a closer look; she has edited all her videos. Have you noticed that she swallows her food? No, after a short video recording, everything comes out. Believe me, I know her.
Hey there! I actually do eat everything I share. If I kept the entire eating portion in we'd be here all day. If you don't like my content feel free to skip it!💕
A lot of people are naturally thin. Your comment is gross.
@@TooLegit2Quit84 😂😂😂oh poor Ladies😂
Why are you always wearing a jacket inside the house? And even a beanie?
Because when you’re so skinny, you are always cold! The body doesn’t have enough fat to keep you warm even at home :/ I’ve been there and it’s a struggle ://
I’m not skinny and I wear jackets and hats inside I like being warm and feeling cozy. I wear beanies indoors to. Don’t body shame
it’s winter dude 😭
@@DaPokeBossI don’t really think you have watched much of her videos! She is promoting eating what you want, when you want and how to fuel your body! If your just going to hate on people trying to get out of the diet system then please get out :)
Hi! I don't think I'm ever wearing a jacket in this video? A sweatshirt, yes, because they're comfy and that is what I usually wear. As I discuss in the video once my hat goes on it doesn't usually come off because, well, hat hair! If you don't like my videos or me you can feel free not to watch XOXO
How old are you 💖
31!
Ignore the haters. People can't grasp that some people are naturally thin.
