Super Stressful Day With No Food Rules! [What I Eat In A Day]

[@mar4348]

seeing people, especially women, eating normal portions of food and eating more than two times a day is so great. I tend to hate wieiad because people make a salad and some pasta and call it a day, then I feel so bad for eating dessert every day or in general eating more. I am sick of constantly worrying and my body knows it. For whoever is struggling, you are an incredible inspiration.

You are so so liberating and inspiring. Ivedieted for years .. I have four kids and I’m getting married Saturday. I’ve lost weight to a healthy bmi … Bang in middle. And let me tell you I’ve been eating. Walking, having a life and eating decent food . My family keep asking what diet. None. Literally just listening to my body and not punishing myself. Thank you

[@funkopopruler-3206]

congrats ❤ so happy for you !

[@altijdmarley3383]

Hi how was your wedding?

[@LisaH-t3s]

I have been struggling with food rules for so long being normal seems so foreign.. I have had anorexia since 12 and been in treatment on and off for 31 years. I am 43 and felt so discouraged until I found your channel. You are amazing! I don’t know how you do it but I want to get there! I finally feel hope again. Thank you for what you do! It has helped me so much!

[@ColleenChristensen]

So happy to hear that you are receiving help, and that this channel gives you encouragement!❤ You got this!

Same boat hun. Started age 11yrs and now 43yrs. Four beautiful babies and still fighting with EDs voices.

[@christyg1236]

Same here. Started at 11 and now in my late 30s.

[@Atheria444]

I am vegan for decades by choice, but gluten free due to cruddy genetics. That, mixed with a history of EDs makes me enjoy your videos. Whenever I've gone on some extra restrictive regimen makes me obsess about food. At 56, I can't do that anymore. If I'm told I cannot have something (well...gluten is REALLY a problem...sigh), ALL I think about is what I "can't have". Freedom is the way. I do not miss animal products AT ALL, so that is not an issue. I love animals too much.

[@krisrobinson7192]

Please don’t stop sharing. This is a constant battle and you video’s help in so many ways. Thank you

[@Em_ilylylach]

you’ve really helped me have a healthy relationship with food I’m at a healthy weight and so far am maintaining it when i first started losing weight I found myself binging a lot and obsessing over when I was gonna eat next and spending so much time just thinking of what I wanted to eat since I was restricting myself soo much. I’ve finally been mindful when i eat and not go crazy over every food I see in sight when I’m hungry.

[@ColleenChristensen]

I'm so happy that are living a life of food freedom! Great work!❤

[@fractalbrooke]

Thank you for sharing this video! As someone who has gone through a massive body recomp, I have a lot of fear hat if I allow myself to eat freely that I will balloon back to my old size. I appreciate your guidance specifically because it reinforces that as long as the majority of food choices are made with nutrition in mind and you're listening to your body, you're doing the right thing. I recently took up running three-four days a week and recognize that I've been wanting to eat 3 times a day with two small snacks. Wanting to eat more makes me feel shame because I'm afraid of gaining weight, but seeing you eat food that mirrors how I eat makes me feel more comfortable with listening to my own cues. I also appreciate you being authentic in your content and showing the different aspects of your day.Thank you for being a beautiful, wonderful human!

[@alexisgeorgiana726]

Thank you for sharing! I have struggled with eating right for some years - and I am so thankful & blessed to have come to the point where I have less fear and guilt. I am also able to tell when I’m hungry and I have less episodes of over eating! Intuitive eating all the way ☺️

[@ColleenChristensen]

IE for the win! Remember, fear and guilt are not ingredients!😄❤

[@areebahtanweer1228]

This video is really inspiring, my mom just got a couple of slices of opera cake and now I can enjoy it guilt free

[@ColleenChristensen]

That’s amazing! Enjoy!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@joancrawford5781]

Love the specificity in your vids. As someone trying to experiment with intuitive eating lack of specificity of inituitive eating content has been a real frustration.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy them! I hope you are having a great day too!

[@heathernoel949]

Thank you for what you do! It has been so inspiring! Question - I teach during the day and sometimes can't eat when I want to or need to. If I know I will be going into a long stretch where I can't eat, should I eat beforehand, even if I'm not hungry?

[@ColleenChristensen]

This is a great question!❤ Here's a blog post on practical hunger that may be helpful. colleenchristensennutrition.com/practical-hunger-what-it-is-how-to-use-it/

Love your videos ❤ please can you do one for those who eat repeative foods that want to venture to new foods but are afraid - not of weight gain but what it will do to them.

that hamburger salad looks so damn good omg

It is so tasty!

I would love to hear why you take CBD gummies. I’ve heard a lot of different things about them but would love first hand experience.

[@K3r0pp1i]

As someone who struggles with food and “picky” eating, it’s quite mentally damaging but I’m working on trying to expand my diet for health reasons. I personally really struggle with meat like beef/steak or sausages but I want to have more iron and protein. What would you recommend? (I really don’t want to force myself to eat those meats because it just makes it worse, I also have tried to “just eat it”, doesn’t work. Anyways, love your videos!)

[@grayponytail]

I have been able to successfully intuitively eat on and off, but once I settle into a good rhythm, I eventually start losing weight, but then a fear of gaining weight takes hold of me and I dive back into restrict/binge cycles. Any suggestions on how to avoid this?

[@grayponytail]

@mmariszlove this. Thank you 💛

[@janellek6022]

You’re like my no food rules hero!!!

You can learn how too! 🥰🥰🥰

[@christyg1236]

What do you think of sodium? I tend to crave a lot of salt but I’m worried I’m consuming too much sodium. For example I would have loved that cottage cheese on a cracker with salty salami or anchovies and everything but the bagel. But I know that would have been a LOT of salt from the cottage cheese, deli meats and everything bagel seasoning. How much is too much?

The last month I have been in so much stress and sadness and I ate so many chips and chocolate bars and fizzy drinks and I gained weight whitvh made me sad about it too

[@fractalbrooke]

and that's ok! it's a new day

[@pantelitsatsavari7653]

@@fractalbrooke yeah I am sure when all these emotions end probably at the end of the month then I will start eating better again and the thing is I like healthy foods but right now I'm in a dark place

I have a question, why do you buy non-fat cheese if you are an intuitive eater

[@Bananas904]

She might prefer the taste and/or texture.

[@pseudo-deliquuism]

to be real, eating "intuitively" IS eating food that makes u feel satisfied with no food rules and restrictions WHILE making ur body feel nourished with something called "gentle nutrition" too. its balance. you would not be eating intuitively if u dont consider ur health. because eating intuitively gives both balance to satisfaction (foods u love) and to nutrition (foods we need)

[@janree75]

I do worry a bit that trying to eat “balanced” and eating so you won’t be hungry later is another way to create food rules, especially for people who don’t have a good grasp of intuitive eating.

[@Forever_coffeefan]

Did you say eating a CBD gummie is technically NOT eating or IS eating a meal?

[@Freed_captive705]

Did you know you are Marsha from Brady Bunch 🤨 hehehe jk but y’all are both beautiful and look very similar!

I legit thought you were in your mid forties and was shocked to find out you're only 31?! You and Abbey Sharp both look way older than your age and seem to both be making a conscience effort to stay slim despite supposedly being IE.
