As 71 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: you guys know, the first thing I like to ask 72 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 1: my guests is what season they are in, So see 73 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: you know about my what honor the season? What sort 74 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,239 Speaker 1: of season are you currently in? What are you honoring 75 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: right now? 76 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 4: I really love this and I love that you talk 77 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 4: about this because it's something that isn't spoken about enough, 78 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 4: and I love how you identify it because when it 79 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 4: comes to growth, when it comes to businesses, when it 80 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 4: comes to your life, people think that when you're trying 81 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 4: to get somewhere, that you're going to be on this 82 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 4: journey of highs, But really growth there's going to be 83 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 4: so many experiences, so many feelings, so many journeys, and 84 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 4: pain suffering all of them. Negative feelings are actually a 85 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 4: part of growth. And for me, like being completely transparent, 86 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 4: I'm actually going through through a journey right now where 87 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 4: it is a bit of suffering, and it's because there's 88 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 4: been a lot of change happening. You know, I'm someone 89 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 4: who I go really well off routine, and as soon 90 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 4: as i'm a bit out of routine, I can feel stressed, 91 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 4: I can feel bothered. And so for me right now, 92 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 4: I'm just shedding awareness on that I'm actually going through 93 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 4: like a suffering state. That's not a bad thing. I'm 94 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 4: still actually really happy. I'm still actually thriving, but I've 95 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 4: realized that right now I'm still a bit stressed. I've 96 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 4: just moved houses. As you've seen if you follow me 97 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 4: in my channel, you'd know that I've just moved houses. 98 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 2: Within the past week. 99 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 4: I have just bought a puppy, and my puppy needed 100 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 4: a new place. So I've had that stress where I 101 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 4: didn't actually get to raise my puppy for the first 102 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 4: like three weeks of having her. I had to hand 103 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 4: her off to my best mate, which I'm so grateful for, 104 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 4: but I wasn't able to be there within the first 105 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 4: three weeks, which was a huge stress on me. And 106 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 4: just moving, and then I've had a routine at a routine. 107 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 4: I've had some transitions happen with my business as well. 108 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 4: So basically, within the past three weeks, I've been juggling 109 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 4: being in a dog mum, a new dog mom, moving houses. 110 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 4: I've had troubles with my car. I have had things 111 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 4: going on with my business. I'm still trying to run 112 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 4: my own business. So I've just had a few things happen. Yeah, 113 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 4: where it happens all at once, and I'm just aware 114 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 4: that it is a part of the process. Like it's 115 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 4: kind of like in life, you go in these cycles. 116 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 4: So there'll be you'll thrive, and sometimes you'll need to 117 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 4: actually slow down. Sometimes you'll suffer. Sometimes you're just going 118 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 4: through a stage where you actually just need to educate yourself. 119 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 2: Yes, you know. 120 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,239 Speaker 1: And so many cycles. And I love what you said 121 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: about you love identifying this because it's almost and I 122 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 1: don't know if you feel this way, but for me, 123 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: when I identify the season, it almost loses its power 124 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: a bit, whereas before you're kind of like spiraling. You're like, 125 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: oh my god, this is happening, and this has happening. 126 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 2: Well, your word, it's a part of the process, you 127 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 2: know what I mean. 128 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 4: You're like, cool, I'm suffering, But just because I feel 129 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 4: the sense of suffer doesn't mean I'm sad, doesn't mean 130 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 4: this is a bad place. I find when we feel 131 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 4: a negative emotion, we think that we're in a bad place. 132 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 4: But like I said before, I'm actually going through a 133 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 4: bit of suffering. But I'm happy. I'm still content, I'm 134 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 4: still happy. I'm still on the process. But right now 135 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 4: I'm just stressed. I am going through that suffering stage. 136 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 4: And like you said, shedding awareness upon that, it takes 137 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 4: away the power. You don't feel bad anymore. You don't 138 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 4: feel like you're going backwards. You know, I'm still going 139 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 4: forwards in life. 140 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: But I don't get sucked into it exactly, sucked into 141 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: the drama of it, and you can go okay. 142 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 4: And that's the most important part, not allowing that time 143 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 4: of your life or that emotion to become you. 144 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 2: Because at the end of the day. 145 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 4: Emotions and thoughts, there are things that come and go 146 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 4: there and they're made to be there, do you know 147 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 4: what I mean. If you're sad, be mother licking sad. 148 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 4: If you're angry, be angry. All emotions are made to 149 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 4: be felt. It's just about shedding awareness on them and 150 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 4: not dwelling within them, and then also so reflecting sitting 151 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 4: back and being like, Okay, this emotion made me react 152 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 4: this way right now in my life, I need more 153 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 4: of this emotion in order to get to where I 154 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 4: want to get to. So sharding clarity on what you 155 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 4: want at every point in your life. 156 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: I love that, And thank you for being so transparent 157 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: of where you currently are, because I know it can 158 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: kind of be hard to talk about things while you're 159 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: in them. I'm someone who I definitely like to talk things. 160 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 2: After once you've got over you like, and then I 161 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 2: can teach people. 162 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: But I love that you shared that with us, So 163 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: thank you. So before we get into kind of the 164 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: juicy questions, can you give the audience who don't know you, 165 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: I know most people will just a little snapshot of 166 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: who you are who is seen. 167 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 4: Isn't it funny though, a lot of our followers are 168 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 4: very similar them. When I posted something on my story, 169 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:51,839 Speaker 4: I was like, guess who's coming. 170 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 2: We're very similar and everyone's like Georgie Seaman. Yes, I 171 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:56,239 Speaker 2: was so excited. 172 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 3: So yeah, I think that's because we guys. 173 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,719 Speaker 1: I lively got here and I followed see you for 174 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: a very long time, and we got here and we're 175 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 1: literally the same person. 176 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 4: It's crazy. We've been talking in the past few hours 177 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 4: and everything, like, yes, it's really amazing. It is refreshing 178 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:15,839 Speaker 4: because when I. 179 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: Feel you like you're on my level, and that is good. 180 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: It's not hard to find, but it's refreshing to meet someone. 181 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 4: And I was just saying before to Georgie that her 182 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 4: and I we are very outgoing, confident personality, so it 183 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 4: we're very assertive, and that can be very confronting to 184 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 4: some people, and it can make you feel very alone 185 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 4: and like you are too much. So my whole life 186 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 4: I have been told that I am too much and 187 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,839 Speaker 4: that I can be a lot to handle. And when 188 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 4: I'm around others like me, it is so refreshing and 189 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 4: you start to realize that, Okay, my personality isn't bad. 190 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 4: I just got to learn to obviously adapt it to 191 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 4: those around me. But I don't need to change. 192 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 2: I just need to find those who I thrive with 193 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 2: and bounce off. 194 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: I love that and agreed, and that took me a 195 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: while to figure that out, because when you do have 196 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: and I'm I'm not necessarily an extrovert or anything. I'm 197 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: actually a total introvert, but I do have a very 198 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: assertive I know what I want and sometimes people can 199 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: kind of. 200 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 2: See that it's bossy. 201 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, bossy. 202 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: And so my whole life, I was kind of told 203 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: I was too much, and I always you. 204 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 2: Still have to believe it, Yeah, but I always. 205 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: Molded myself because I knew I was and I'm doing 206 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: this in air quotes. You guys can't see this too much, 207 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: so I would kind of turn the notches down. And 208 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 1: it's only in the last couple of years that I've 209 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: kind of been like, I'm not too much for the 210 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 1: right people. Yeah, if that makes sense, We'll we'll get 211 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: into that a bit more. But snapshop. 212 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 3: Who was C? 213 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 4: Hello, Hey guys, So my name is Christy Swueddling and 214 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 4: C was kind of created through my YouTube channel and 215 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 4: my Instagram. It's kind of like my brandy name slash 216 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 4: and nickname, and I just it kind of just clicks. 217 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 4: It kind of just became a thing, which I really 218 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 4: love the CE. And I created my YouTube channel accidentally, 219 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 4: like four four and a bit years ago. Now, I 220 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 4: was uploading a video to Facebook and the only way 221 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 4: to get it to Facebook was through YouTube. So I 222 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 4: had to uploaded to YouTube first then to get it 223 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 4: to Facebook. To just share with my friends and family, 224 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 4: and it was just a video about my recovery process, 225 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 4: and that was why I started my Instagram. So I 226 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 4: started my Instagram to help those going through similar situations 227 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 4: and my Facebook, and in order to get to them platforms, 228 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 4: I had to accidentally go on YouTube. So that's a 229 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 4: bit of a lull, and it kind of just my 230 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 4: video blew up from there. I think now it's on 231 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 4: five million views at this moment, and I think just 232 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 4: the fundamentals of my channel were just really about shedding 233 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 4: awareness upon eating disorders, because that's something that I have 234 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 4: ever since I got an eating disorder. I remember saying 235 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,599 Speaker 4: to my dad, that's one thing that I want to 236 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 4: do is shad awareness on it. Not only help those 237 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 4: going through it, but shad awareness so then you can 238 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 4: prevent eating disorders. So that's what I have basically been 239 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 4: trying to do through my channels and through my platforms. 240 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 4: And I did also start Instagram with the love of 241 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 4: photography and creativity. So I'm someone who aesthetics are a 242 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 4: huge part of my life. You know, you've got my Instagram, 243 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 4: You've got my YouTube channel. Interior is a huge thing 244 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 4: for me, just designing, like I do all my own designs, 245 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 4: my graphic designs. It's actually really hard for me to 246 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 4: hire someone to edit and to design for me because 247 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 4: I feel as though it's taking a sense of my 248 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 4: passion and power away. And it's very rare where I'll 249 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 4: get like, I'll do jobs where I hire people for 250 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 4: that because I do. I do love it, and it 251 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,359 Speaker 4: was that helping people and creativity is like the fundamentals 252 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 4: of my career. So to ever, you know, lose that 253 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 4: makes me feel very like uncomfortable. Uncomfortable, that's the perfect word. 254 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 4: So yeah, they're the two main reasons why I've started 255 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 4: my channel, and then since then, I've just really just 256 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 4: been able to grow with my audience and like people 257 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 4: like you, people that I connect with, and it's really 258 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 4: just made me realize what life is all about because 259 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 4: you can get really consumed through social media, and when 260 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 4: you start to actually make connections, you know, one on 261 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 4: one connections, you start to realize, like, yes, social media 262 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 4: is a huge part of my life, but when you 263 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 4: connect with people like I'm not talking about like surface conversations, 264 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 4: I'm talking about like pure connections, that's when you start 265 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 4: to realize, like holy whacko, Like this, this is living, 266 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 4: this is life type of thing. And then through through 267 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 4: my socials and everything, I obviously try to share awareness 268 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 4: on the human mind and making it important to like 269 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 4: every single day, making little hats, little tips to make 270 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 4: it easier to become aware of yourself your habits, because 271 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 4: I've realized how important it is to become aware of 272 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 4: your weaknesses and your strengths and what you do every 273 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 4: single day.

I love what you said about being vulnerable. 301 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: That's actually something I struggle with because I think I 302 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: come from a bit of a background where you're not 303 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: vulnerable because it's almost seen as a bit of a weakness. 304 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: And so, like I said, like, I'm usually someone I 305 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: share things after I'm done, and I'm all good. 306 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 4: Because it's like cool, I'm strong now, I'm strong now, 307 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 4: I'm stronger than that. 308 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: But a big turning point, especially in my content. I 309 00:15:55,200 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: think this happened in YouTube because Instagram, let's be honest, 310 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: it's like a very surface level app. Stories are amazing, 311 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: But before that, I remember, like you just posted a story, 312 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: no one really knew you got followers, and then I 313 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: started YouTube and it's just such this place where you're 314 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: opening up and growing and people like are seeing it 315 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: and you can't really hide because people don't watch you 316 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: like they can tell if you're being things, So you've 317 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: got to be really real. And I noticed actually a 318 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: huge turning point in that is like when I actually 319 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: just started being real and sharing stuff because people. 320 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 2: Like you said, they're just people want to relate. 321 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, people just going through the same things and even 322 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: trivial little things, like everyone is going through the same. 323 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 4: Thing exactly exactly, And like you said, Instagram is usually 324 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 4: a platform whe people just share their highlights. 325 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 3: Yes, not like with. 326 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 4: Influencers with Instagram is their intention isn't to do that, 327 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 4: but that's what majority of people want to see.

Like tell 366 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: us some of the stuff that so. 367 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 4: Some of the like the signals to look out for 368 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 4: really are. I was constantly anxious around food. My days 369 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 4: would roll around food, and I remember if people would 370 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 4: come into my life, whether it was a boyfriend or 371 00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 4: a friend, that would interfere with my routine, all my 372 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,360 Speaker 4: rules with food, I would get really stressed and I 373 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 4: would actually, yeah, I would really isolate myself and everything. 374 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 4: And I didn't really know I had an eating disorder 375 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 4: before I was diagnosed because it was considered as healthy. 376 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 4: So I was the fittest girl you eight, U nine 377 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 4: and year ten photishly on the school. So I was 378 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 4: someone who was really fit and healthy and I was 379 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 4: eating salads and people would see that as powerful. They'd 380 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 4: be like, wow, they pray so healthy. I got so 381 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 4: much praise, so I didn't actually consider it as an 382 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 4: eating disorder. But I knew deep down that not everything 383 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,479 Speaker 4: was okay because of how I would see food. It 384 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 4: wasn't just eat and then live my life. It was eat, 385 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 4: think about what I need to eat next, think about 386 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 4: how I can conversate for what I've assumed you. It 387 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 4: became my life. And it wasn't until I was diagnosed 388 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 4: where I was like, Okay, cool, I have an eating disorder. 389 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 4: I felt as though I had to also wear the 390 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 4: shoes of someone with an eating disorder. So when I 391 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 4: was actually diagnosed, it got worse. And this is something 392 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,679 Speaker 4: that I do talk about now, well, you are not 393 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 4: your illness. So yes, shedding awareness on anxiety, depression, eating 394 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 4: disorders is important, but you need to detach yourself from that. 395 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 4: Don't wear the hat of your disorder. 396 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:13,360 Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean? 397 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: It's interesting because sometimes so for example, I struggle within anxiety. Yeah, 398 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: and so it's hard because sometimes you get, you know, 399 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: messages that are like you need to learn to live 400 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: with it, like you're going to have it for the rest. 401 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 3: Of your life. 402 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: So did you feel like this was something when you 403 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:36,360 Speaker 1: first found out? 404 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 3: Were you kind of like this is me now? 405 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 2: Yeah? 406 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, So I would catch myself if I ever made 407 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 4: decisions or had thoughts that an eating disorder mind wouldn't. 408 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 4: I would actually catch myself and be like, oh no, no, 409 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 4: I can't eat this. I can't eat this donut because 410 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 4: I've got an eating disorder. So I cannot eat this 411 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,199 Speaker 4: donut with a free mind. I can't actually eat this 412 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 4: because I've got an eating disorder. And that happened with 413 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 4: the first year after being diagnosed. I would literally try 414 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 4: to live my life through my eating disorder. And it 415 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 4: wasn't until I started to realize that this eating disorder 416 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 4: is not me. Its habits and things that I have 417 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 4: created through obsession over a period of time. So I'm 418 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 4: not saying that, you know, an eating disorder isn't a thing, 419 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 4: because he is one hundred percent a thing because I 420 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 4: went through it. What I'm saying is it was created 421 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 4: through my thoughts, my emotions, my letics. 422 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 2: I let it consume me. 423 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 4: I wasn't made the choice. I wasn't born with it. 424 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 4: You know, if I, for example, someone with an eating disorder, 425 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,959 Speaker 4: or whether they are going through depression of anxiety, if 426 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 4: they got hit by a car and they had memory loss, 427 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 4: they would be fully cured. And that is because they 428 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 4: lose their thoughts. Your thoughts are everything, So your thoughts 429 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 4: are your past, your past tense, your past experiences, your 430 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 4: past relationships. 431 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 2: So if you lose your thoughts, you are cured. So 432 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 2: that's when you need to start to realize that you 433 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 2: are not your disorder. You just have thoughts. Change your thoughts, 434 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 2: change your life. 435 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,360 Speaker 3: Okay, so let's talk about the recovery now. 436 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: So for someone who doesn't really know too much about ED, 437 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: can you give us a bit of an insight on 438 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: what recovery truly looks like? And obviously it's going to 439 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: be so different for other people, but what did it 440 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: look like for you? And, like you said, when you 441 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,439 Speaker 1: got it, it almost got worse, and then you went into recovery, 442 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: how did that look? 443 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,479 Speaker 4: It's actually a really hard process. It's not like you 444 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,400 Speaker 4: just choose recovery. There's so many things that you need 445 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 4: to do in order to get out of that headspace, 446 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 4: and it's a process. It is a really hard, long process, 447 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 4: and I'm just being completely real and transparent. It's something 448 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 4: that isn't easy. And the longer that you have your 449 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 4: eating disorder, the harder it is to get out of it. 450 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,360 Speaker 4: And there's actually not only the mental side of recovery, 451 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 4: but there's also the physical side effects that you go through, 452 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 4: and they're probably the most strong. So you go through refeeding. 453 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 4: That's one of them. So my first signs of like 454 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 4: when I first started to recover, I would go through refeeding. 455 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 4: So what that is is your body adapting to food. 456 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 4: So because obviously your body isn't it's not comfortable with 457 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 4: a certain amount of food because for so long you've 458 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 4: been so restrictive, and your body would actually I would 459 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 4: bloat my whole, I'd get like veins would pop up, 460 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 4: my body would swell, I was in agony, I was 461 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 4: tied all the time. So it's kind of because your 462 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,959 Speaker 4: body's gone in full recovery mode and it needs to recover. 463 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 4: So all the energy that your body is consuming is 464 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 4: actually going to repairing your organs, repairing things that you've 465 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:49,120 Speaker 4: damaged through malnourishment. So that was just exhausting, absolutely exhausting. 466 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 4: So I went through months of just acting to be bedridden. 467 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 4: I stopped training, which is something that you do need 468 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 4: to do in recovery, is just stop training and really 469 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 4: focusing on healing your body again. I went through like 470 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 4: night sweats, so I couldn't actually sleep that well because 471 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 4: I was hot all the time. So your body is 472 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 4: trying to figure out, like it's normal temperature. You go 473 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 4: through night sweat. 474 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,479 Speaker 3: Is that because you were quite cold before? 475 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 4: So like obviously, through an eating disorder, you get very thin, 476 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 4: so your body has nothing to hold on to. 477 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 2: And even if you're like I want to actually say this. 478 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 4: Now, eating disorders come in all shapes and sizes, so 479 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 4: you do not need to be extremely thin to have 480 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 4: an eating disorder. That is only actually a very small percentage. 481 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 4: So a small percentage of eating disorders are anorexia, there's overeating, 482 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 4: there's binge eating. And if you do have a funny 483 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 4: relationship with food, you will actually get cold because your 484 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 4: metabolism is slowing down and she restricting. 485 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 2: You're restricting exactly. 486 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 4: And so my body was getting obviously adapting to food, 487 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 4: and because your body is also working so hard to 488 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 4: eat and to eat, your body is we so hard 489 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 4: to digest everything? Yeah, it overheats your body. So I 490 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 4: was getting so hot, I was overheating. You go through 491 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 4: certain things like confusion with food. 492 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 2: So I actually went. 493 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 4: Through over like I would overeat, id binge eat, So 494 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 4: my body wasn't used to food, so I didn't really 495 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 4: know when to stop. And binge eating is actually a 496 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 4: very common sign in recovery. So I went through binge 497 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 4: eating for around like on and off for a year. 498 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 4: So that is something that again had to learn to 499 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 4: deal with. So through recovery, it's not just you eat, 500 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,160 Speaker 4: it's actually learning to eat normal and to you know 501 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 4: how much is good for you, but also being comfortable 502 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 4: with getting uncomfortable. So I recently actually spoke about this 503 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 4: in my last podcast, and I was interviewing a recovery 504 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 4: coach and she was saying, the most important thing is 505 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 4: to realize that it's not a comfortable process. So you 506 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 4: just got to understand that you're going to be very uncomfortable. 507 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 4: And I was for around three years just uncomfortable, uncomfortable 508 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 4: in my body, uncomfortable with food, uncomfortable in the decisions 509 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 4: I was making. 510 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 2: But you just have to trust the process. 511 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 1: Hey guys, I'm quickly interrupting this episode because I am 512 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: so excited. 513 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 3: Naked Harvest has. 514 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 1: Just launched not one, but two new natural pre workout flavors, 515 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: juicy grape and lemon lime crush. 516 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 3: How good does that sound? 517 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,719 Speaker 1: I'm personally all over the grape. 518 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 2: I'm obsessed. 519 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 3: It smells like hubba bubba and it tastes so good. 520 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: If you're someone like me and you care about what 521 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: you're putting in your body, and you have some fitness 522 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,439 Speaker 1: goals for twenty twenty, you need to get yourself some 523 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: naked Harvest natural pre workout.

Okay, let's get straight back into 533 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: the episode. I personally was never diagnosed with an eating disorder, 534 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: but I think I definitely had a touch of orthorexia 535 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: because I. 536 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 3: Went through this stage where I. 537 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 1: Couldn't eat refined sugars, I couldn't eat anything refined, and 538 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: it was like I wasn't so restrictive in regards to 539 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: starving myself, but I would not let myself like I 540 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: would make sure I made my own source so I 541 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: knew exactly what was coming from it. And I just 542 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: kind of developed this obsessive relationship with what I put 543 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 1: in my body and what I ate, and it had 544 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: to be you know that hashtag clean and again, like you, like, 545 00:27:54,920 --> 00:28:00,199 Speaker 1: I was praised because I was getting lenar Lena, I 546 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 1: was looking stronger, and I never personally was underweight or anything, 547 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: so I was always praised, But in my mind, I 548 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 1: was obsessed, like you said, I was the next I 549 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: was still think about the next meal as like what 550 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: I could have and what I couldn't have. 551 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 3: It very much consumed my life. 552 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:19,120 Speaker 1: I then went through a stage where I almost kind 553 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 1: of just needed to reject any sort of health, like 554 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: just completely rejected, and it was hard for me to 555 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: also watch other people on YouTube or anything like that 556 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: who were eating, you know, who were dieting, Yeah, who 557 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: were dining and eating healthy and all that sort of stuff. 558 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: And I wanted to ask you, you know, whether any stages 559 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: that you went through where you were like, oh, I'm 560 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: getting better, I'm doing this because I'm recovering. But in reality, 561 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: it was kind of forming another obsession. Yes, yeah, one 562 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: hundred percent. 563 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 4: And that is something that is so well known to 564 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 4: do in recovery because it's kind of like what an 565 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 4: eating disorder is is an obsession. So it's kind of 566 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 4: like how you switch your focuses. You kind of naturally 567 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 4: go into another obsession and another obsession. That's how you 568 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 4: get away from Yeah, slowly wean yourself. Yeah, and that 569 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 4: was a part of my recovery I did. I went 570 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 4: from one obsession to the other obsession and that isn't 571 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,479 Speaker 4: it's not ideal because it prolongs your recovery, I guess, 572 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 4: you know. And there was so many other areas I 573 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 4: had to learn to Okay, you can actually have cups, 574 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,479 Speaker 4: you can do this, you can do that. And it 575 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 4: can be hard through recovery because you see all these 576 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 4: other influences and other accounts who are going on these 577 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 4: diets and are doing these fasting and are seen as healthy. 578 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 4: But you just need to realize that what is healthy 579 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 4: for someone else may not be healthy for you and 580 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 4: acknowledge that you have had a bad behavior with food 581 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 4: or a funny past with food. So you just need 582 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 4: to focus on freedom and focus on what is healthy 583 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 4: for you be mindful of. Okay, obviously, if I'm going 584 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 4: to have any form of restrictions in my diet, that's 585 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 4: not actually going to serve me. That's not going to 586 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 4: be healthy for me because I've had a bad past 587 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 4: with food. So I definitely did go through. If you've 588 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 4: been following my channel for a while, know that I 589 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 4: was vegan. 590 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 2: I did go palely. I went from all these extremes because. 591 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 4: It was another way of my eating disorder to come 592 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 4: out in other areas without me knowing. Here, I was 593 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,479 Speaker 4: thinking that I was just keeping up with the trends, 594 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 4: but really it was just my eating disorder trying to 595 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 4: come out and exactly, and it's really important. I'm really 596 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 4: glad that we are talking about this because it is 597 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 4: so important within your recovery to be aware of what 598 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 4: is actually going to help you and what is just 599 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 4: feeding your eating disorder. 600 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: So I really want to get into the veganism thing. 601 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: But before we do that, let's talk about what did 602 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,959 Speaker 1: help you, Like what if you're looking back, and obviously 603 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: this is very personal to you, what were the big 604 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 1: things and you talked, you talked about a little bit, 605 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: but what did help you. 606 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 4: Through my early stages of recovery, I was what was 607 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 4: my turning point was a book. The book was The 608 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 4: Power of Now. So that was my turn point and 609 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 4: that made me really aware of thoughts. And the quote 610 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,239 Speaker 4: that I read that was a huge turning point was 611 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 4: the more you feed the ego, the stronger the ego 612 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 4: will get. So I actually represented the ego as my 613 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 4: eating disorder. So the more I fed the eating disorder, 614 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 4: the stronger my eating disorder would get. So through these 615 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 4: years of recovery, every single time I was trying a 616 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 4: new diet or trying a new obsession, that would actually 617 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 4: be feeding my eating disorder. So how I've learned now 618 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 4: looking back at it, how I actually were able to 619 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 4: fully recover was completely letting go. It wasn't until the 620 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 4: moment that I let go that I then starved the 621 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 4: eating disorder. So I had to go against everything my 622 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 4: eating disorder wanted me to do, because the more I 623 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 4: would listen to my eating disorder, the more I was 624 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 4: feeding it, so the more it would grow. It wasn't 625 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 4: until I accepted uncomfortability and accepted, okay, I need to 626 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 4: completely let go, let go of you know, allowing myself 627 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 4: to have a mother licking don't even if even if 628 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 4: Samantha on Instagram says donuts have too much sugar or 629 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,239 Speaker 4: you know, the refined ship was bad for you, just 630 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,479 Speaker 4: you actually allow yourself to have that no matter what 631 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 4: anyone else is. 632 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: Yeap, just touching on that. A big thing for me, again, 633 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 1: I was not diagnosed, but a big thing for me 634 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 1: was eating all the foods that I had once that 635 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 1: I couldn't eat with no emotion attached, no anything attached, 636 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: and just eating it and then after being like I 637 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: didn't lie. 638 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 2: Ye and then kind and not having to conpensate for that. 639 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it just being that doesn't matter, It doesn't 640 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 1: mean anything, and it's not like I just did that 641 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 1: once and it was all good. But there was a 642 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 1: big process of one hundredercent just eating. And I know 643 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: it's easy to say, just eat the food, but that 644 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: was one hundred percent one of the biggest steps. And 645 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 1: I think it kind of let the power go, because 646 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: for me, it was this big thing in my mind, 647 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 1: like it was so powerful and it definitely lost the power. 648 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 1: But what I was going to say before. 649 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 4: Take the fear of the unknown, don't you reckon so 650 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 4: like your mind doesn't know what it's like, so it's. 651 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 2: Not until you actively act upon it. 652 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 4: You know, action is what helps recovery, so you can 653 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 4: sit in your mind and say, I need to do this, 654 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 4: I need to do that. So there's two things that 655 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 4: feed your thoughts, right, So your thoughts, you have your 656 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 4: eating disorder thoughts and you have your normal thoughts. In 657 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 4: order to keep your eating disorder there, you have to 658 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 4: act upon it or emotionally dwelling it. So in order 659 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 4: for it to die off, you need to know what 660 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 4: you need to do in order to the opposition of 661 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 4: what you're eating disorder wants you to do. So if 662 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 4: you're eating disorder says you cannot have breakfast until ten, 663 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 4: if you have breakfast at eight, you're then acting against 664 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:51,479 Speaker 4: your eating disorder, which will kill it. It sounds funny, 665 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 4: but mostly proving it wrong, proving it wrong, and you know, 666 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 4: doing exactly what it doesn't want you to do, because 667 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 4: then you're you're killing it off. You're not feeding it anymore. 668 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 4: So the more you feed the ego, the stronger the 669 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 4: ego gets. The more you feed less you feed out. Yeah, yeah, 670 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 4: the more you feed yourself and freedom. So I look 671 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 4: at the opposition of the eating disorder. To me is freedom, 672 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,840 Speaker 4: So it's kind of like detaching the two. So I 673 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,799 Speaker 4: constantly every single day now my goal is freedom, So 674 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 4: if it doesn't serve me freedom, then I won't do it. 675 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,240 Speaker 4: So that to me is healthy freedom. 676 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 2: I love that. 677 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: And so what about some tangible things in regards you know, 678 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: did you stop following certain people on social media? 679 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:32,759 Speaker 3: Did you have. 680 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,879 Speaker 1: Friends you can be around or anything like that. 681 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,919 Speaker 2: Definitely, the accounts that I followed on social media. 682 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 4: So I've got rid of every single like pro diet 683 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,439 Speaker 4: in pro and I pro all of that. I've got 684 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 4: rid of anyone who wouldn't have a healthy relationship because 685 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 4: there's so many accounts who don't atually a healthy relationship food. 686 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:53,800 Speaker 4: But because they haven't told theirself they haven't eating disorder, 687 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 4: or they have been diagnosed, or they're not thin enough, 688 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 4: they think it's normal, but it's actually not. So many 689 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 4: people can have bad life ships with food, but because 690 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 4: they're not anorexic, they don't actually acknowledge it, and they 691 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,320 Speaker 4: don't think that their disorder behaviors. 692 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,400 Speaker 1: Are bad or triggering anyone, triggering. 693 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 4: Anyone else exactly. So yes, just unfollowing negativeccounts. You know, 694 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,240 Speaker 4: don't get angry at them. Live their life. It's their journey, 695 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 4: you know, they have to find out their self. Yeah, 696 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,800 Speaker 4: just unfollow them. You don't need to follow them, you 697 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:19,840 Speaker 4: don't need to see their stuff. 698 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 2: You can choose that. So I've unfollowed them. 699 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,360 Speaker 4: Yes, there's even people that I couldn't be around in 700 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,759 Speaker 4: my recovery. You know, there's certain people who don't have 701 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 4: the best relationship with food or they would say triggering. Yes, 702 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,400 Speaker 4: So it's not that I had to isolate myself. I 703 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 4: just had to have an awareness on who were helping 704 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 4: my recovery process and who weren't. 705 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,879 Speaker 2: You know what, I didn't have to not be friends 706 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,719 Speaker 2: with them for ever, just in this process. I can 707 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:42,359 Speaker 2: always go. 708 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,279 Speaker 4: Back and be friends with them later on and I have, 709 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 4: you know, and I really enjoy their company now, but 710 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 4: back then I wouldn't have. And it's just being okay 711 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 4: with that. So there was them two main things, and 712 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 4: then it was keeping a. 713 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 3: Diary really helped tell us mom. 714 00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,279 Speaker 4: Yeah, so I actually have these two huge diary. Is 715 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 4: that I'm completely full of my recovery process. It's the 716 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 4: start of it is Actually, it's quite like a very 717 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 4: depressing story, to be honest, but it's. 718 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 3: Really it's good to see the journey. 719 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,359 Speaker 4: It's empowering to know that you can start from low, low, low, 720 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 4: and then work your way up. And yes, I had 721 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 4: so many downfalls, I had so many stages of my recovery. 722 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,399 Speaker 4: But it was really good because I would sit down 723 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 4: and I would become one with myself. With your thoughts, 724 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,799 Speaker 4: it's so important to not push them away because at 725 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 4: the end of the day, your thoughts are there and 726 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 4: they will come back. So if you try to keep 727 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 4: yourself busy to push your thoughts away, they're going to 728 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:44,800 Speaker 4: come back. So writing your thoughts down and self reflecting 729 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:46,840 Speaker 4: and acknowledging how you feel, what you think, you know, 730 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 4: actually asking yourself questions, and that's what a diary would 731 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,440 Speaker 4: help me do. I would talk to myself, Hi, Christy, 732 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,319 Speaker 4: how are we today. I would literally answer my questions, Ah, 733 00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 4: I don't know. Mum's pissing me off and I feel it. 734 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 4: So I haven't made the best choices with my food. 735 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 4: And I would question myself because I knew the questions 736 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 4: that I needed to ask. It's kind of like I 737 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,400 Speaker 4: would still go see therapists and counsels. 738 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 2: But they didn't have my mind. 739 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:14,960 Speaker 4: I have my mind, so I know the questions that 740 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,760 Speaker 4: are going to actually get me somewhere. So asking myself 741 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,279 Speaker 4: questions and answering my questions and actually picking away and 742 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 4: peeling the layers at my disorder and my thoughts and 743 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:29,279 Speaker 4: my behavior was something that was incredible for my recovery. 744 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,840 Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but something that I have 745 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 1: a journally practice too, just now that I like doing 746 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,800 Speaker 1: because sometimes my thoughts are like in my head and 747 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,160 Speaker 1: they're like spiraling, and to me it's like, oh my god, 748 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 1: this really big thing. And then I write them on 749 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 1: the page and I'm like, ah, it's not even a 750 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 1: big deal, or there's a really simple solution, and it's 751 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 1: almost like again, I keep saying this, but it loses 752 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 1: its power and it's on the page and you're like. 753 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 3: Oh, it's clarity exactly. 754 00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 2: Clarity is everything. 755 00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,799 Speaker 4: And when, like you said, when it's in your head 756 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:03,279 Speaker 4: it feels like so much, you feel very fuffled, Like 757 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 4: a fuffled is I don't even know if that's a word. 758 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,719 Speaker 4: That is just that's what I feel when I. 759 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,840 Speaker 2: Have everything overwhelmed. I feel very overwhelmed. 760 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 4: I feel very costrophobic, fuffled. And when it is, when 761 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,360 Speaker 4: it's in your head, it's so much more than what 762 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,239 Speaker 4: it actually is, and it's not until you talk about it. 763 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,840 Speaker 4: So that's why I document my life now, all my stories, 764 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,319 Speaker 4: because that's. 765 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 2: Like a recovery journal. 766 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's how I journal, That's how I express 767 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 4: my emotions. Now I actually get up on my story, 768 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,800 Speaker 4: but through my recovery, I used to journal and document 769 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 4: everything in my journal. 770 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 1: I love that. Those are amazing tips. Thank you so 771 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:42,400 Speaker 1: much for sharing. Let's get into what you were talking 772 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 1: about in regards to the veganism, So talk about why 773 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,480 Speaker 1: you turned vegan, what that process was like, and then 774 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:52,280 Speaker 1: why you stopped. 775 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 4: So looking back at it now, veganism was definitely another 776 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 4: for my eating disorder. It also was huge on Instagram. 777 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 4: It was the trend. 778 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:07,839 Speaker 3: It was the thing to do. It was a thing to. 779 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 4: Do, and for me, a huge thing in my recovery 780 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,560 Speaker 4: was I wanted to rather than focus on calories, I 781 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,120 Speaker 4: wanted to focus on health, and I was consumed by 782 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,840 Speaker 4: media at that point where I felt as though the 783 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 4: only way for true health was to turn vegan. 784 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:27,799 Speaker 2: And you know, don't don't blame me back then you would. 785 00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,520 Speaker 4: Even now, if you eat steat, you're gonna have people 786 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,759 Speaker 4: putting you down saying how much cholesterol A you're gonna get, 787 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:34,400 Speaker 4: how bad it is for your heart, that you're going 788 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 4: to die early. So that's why I'm so against anyone 789 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 4: who tries to tell you how to live your life 790 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,319 Speaker 4: because or if there's one right way, there's one right way. 791 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 4: Because if someone tried to tell someone who struggled to 792 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 4: eat in general that they can't eat this, it's just 793 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 4: gonna make them worse. So how can you How dare 794 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 4: someone say to someone that you should be eating this 795 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 4: when they have no idea about their behavior with food, 796 00:39:56,280 --> 00:40:00,520 Speaker 4: their past or anything. So that's why I'm so anti 797 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 4: any diet and anti anyone who says that there is 798 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,480 Speaker 4: one way, because there isn't. There is no such thing 799 00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 4: as one way fits all, one diet fits on, one 800 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,880 Speaker 4: lifestyle fits all. So for me, looking back at it 801 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,840 Speaker 4: now and just being completely transparent with you all, turning 802 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,000 Speaker 4: vegan was actually another form of my eating disorder coming 803 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:25,440 Speaker 4: out and through my recovery, I never actually recovered because 804 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 4: I was vegan. 805 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:27,719 Speaker 2: I know that sounds bad. 806 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 4: I'm not blaming the vegan diet, but to have another 807 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,680 Speaker 4: form of restriction and limitations. 808 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 3: You could never truly recover. 809 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:38,200 Speaker 2: Because you can't let go. 810 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 4: You still have to focus on what you're eating, you 811 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,160 Speaker 4: still have to look at the back of packaging, and 812 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,279 Speaker 4: you still have to be totally consumed by food and 813 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 4: far out. The thought of it just exhausts me, now, 814 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 4: do you know what I mean? It's not until, like 815 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,720 Speaker 4: I said, I completely let go, And when turning vegan, 816 00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 4: I wasn't able to let go because I was still 817 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:03,239 Speaker 4: super limited and super restricted. It actually didn't help me 818 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,960 Speaker 4: and my gut either. And so that I remember the 819 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,400 Speaker 4: things that was super detrimental on my recovery process and 820 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:14,839 Speaker 4: actually took me maybe twenty steps backwards because I ended 821 00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,120 Speaker 4: up creating infual Bower syndrome. I've always had troubles with 822 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,000 Speaker 4: my gut, but it got ten times worse from a 823 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:21,839 Speaker 4: plan based diet. 824 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:23,279 Speaker 2: You know, I'm not seeing a play miss. 825 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,160 Speaker 4: Diet is bad for your gut, but it wasn't working 826 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,719 Speaker 4: for my individual gut. Yes, and over a period of 827 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 4: time it really damaged my gut and that was a 828 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:38,160 Speaker 4: huge detrimental journey for my recovery, and I did I 829 00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:39,320 Speaker 4: took a few steps back. 830 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:43,440 Speaker 1: I love what you said about the whole for you personally, 831 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,799 Speaker 1: and I think that's the biggest thing is especially in 832 00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 1: this day and age with social media, where there's people 833 00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:54,200 Speaker 1: who are very pro something so pro paleo pro vegan, 834 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,840 Speaker 1: and they're very like, this is the only way and 835 00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:58,799 Speaker 1: one hundred percent. I'm like you, like, I really watch 836 00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 1: out for those people because my own journey. I just 837 00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:06,440 Speaker 1: know everyone is so different, and for example, you know 838 00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,279 Speaker 1: some people they really thrive on low cub or they 839 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,399 Speaker 1: really thrive on high fat, And I just think it's 840 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:16,440 Speaker 1: very detrimental to say there's one way because everyone's bodies 841 00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:20,480 Speaker 1: are so different and lifestyle, but just what they like 842 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 1: and exactly how they want to live their life. And 843 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,319 Speaker 1: so something I was going to ask you, obviously you're someone. 844 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,799 Speaker 3: You have a following, you have followers. 845 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:33,279 Speaker 1: I want to talk about how it felt when you 846 00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,600 Speaker 1: were like, holy crap, this is not working for me. 847 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,080 Speaker 1: This is actually making me really unwell. And then when 848 00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,640 Speaker 1: you decided to not be vegan, because I can imagine 849 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:46,440 Speaker 1: that would come with a warmth of anger, especially from 850 00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:47,440 Speaker 1: your vegan. 851 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:51,240 Speaker 2: Followers, I was scared. I did get a lot of hate, 852 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:52,399 Speaker 2: a lot of hate. 853 00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 4: I had certain vegans actually make entire YouTube videos about 854 00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,800 Speaker 4: me kind of thing, and that in itself is confronting, 855 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:04,759 Speaker 4: so scary, so so scary. But I knew that I 856 00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:09,080 Speaker 4: was going to help more people making a video about 857 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:12,800 Speaker 4: me quitting viganism for my recovery than I was harming, 858 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,239 Speaker 4: and that's what pushed me. I would get so many 859 00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:21,640 Speaker 4: messages of girls in similar situations, and my goal is 860 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,760 Speaker 4: to help people, and people are going to get offended 861 00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,480 Speaker 4: on the way, But as long as the majority of 862 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,680 Speaker 4: the percentage I am helping, then that's what matters. And 863 00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:34,640 Speaker 4: so that's what really pushed me through. I knew that 864 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,879 Speaker 4: me actually speaking up about how like a plant based 865 00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:42,919 Speaker 4: diet isn't helping my recovery, that it was gonna help 866 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,879 Speaker 4: so many girls go through similar situations. 867 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,879 Speaker 2: It wasn't helping my recovery, it wasn't helping my gut. 868 00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,919 Speaker 4: My focus was to, like I've said before, to help 869 00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:55,879 Speaker 4: people who struggle with their eating. And I didn't let 870 00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:58,399 Speaker 4: the hate that I knew I was going to get 871 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:00,319 Speaker 4: stop me from that. 872 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:05,680 Speaker 1: That's amazing because especially me, I know you would have 873 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:11,520 Speaker 1: felt like and I could imagine someone literally almost faking 874 00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 1: it not telling their followers eating non vegan and almost 875 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,400 Speaker 1: pretending because they didn't want to get there. So's huge. 876 00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,480 Speaker 1: It's a huge thing that you did, and it's very honorable. 877 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,600 Speaker 1: And I guess what advice would you give someone who 878 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,720 Speaker 1: maybe they did turn vegan And I think it's almost 879 00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:30,600 Speaker 1: like some an ego thing of you know, they creached 880 00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:32,960 Speaker 1: about it and they told everyone and that sort of thing, 881 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,359 Speaker 1: and maybe they are realizing as well that it's not 882 00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,239 Speaker 1: for them. Do you have any advice in regards to 883 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,919 Speaker 1: what to show their friends or family or anything like that. 884 00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,839 Speaker 2: My advice really just to be if you're afraid of. 885 00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 4: What people would think, they're not the people that you 886 00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,680 Speaker 4: should be around. If you're doing something for your health 887 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,920 Speaker 4: and you're afraid that those around you are going to 888 00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,320 Speaker 4: put you down for that, then maybe you should question 889 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:03,320 Speaker 4: around you rather than the decisions that you're making. Because 890 00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,399 Speaker 4: at the end of the day, your health is the 891 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:09,720 Speaker 4: most important thing, and you you are your happiness. Your health, 892 00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:14,680 Speaker 4: yep is the most important thing. And if you have 893 00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:19,080 Speaker 4: good people around you, if they know that you're actively 894 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,240 Speaker 4: choosing the decisions that are going to help your health, 895 00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,320 Speaker 4: then you know it may take them a few weeks 896 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,200 Speaker 4: to realize it, but they will be by your side. 897 00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,120 Speaker 4: But you just need to not overthink it, nor over 898 00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,360 Speaker 4: analyze it and put your health first. 899 00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:38,920 Speaker 1: Amazing And also one last question two is what advice 900 00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:43,600 Speaker 1: would you give someone who's currently struggling with Maybe they 901 00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,640 Speaker 1: haven't been diagnosed, like maybe they do have really obsessive 902 00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:50,480 Speaker 1: thoughts around food and their body, or maybe they have 903 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,759 Speaker 1: been diagnosed and they're kind of at that start where 904 00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,120 Speaker 1: they're just becoming aware of it. What is your advice 905 00:45:56,160 --> 00:46:00,360 Speaker 1: to them, just obviously personally, like I put it exclaimer 906 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,160 Speaker 1: at the start, but just your personal advice. 907 00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know, like I am no professional, but 908 00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:05,759 Speaker 2: I have. 909 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:09,200 Speaker 4: Been through through it and I say this all the time. 910 00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:11,239 Speaker 4: Experience is the best type of knowledge. You know, you 911 00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:12,880 Speaker 4: can shed your. 912 00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:13,680 Speaker 2: Awareness upon it. 913 00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:18,440 Speaker 4: And what helped me was opening up, you know, talking 914 00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,279 Speaker 4: about it, telling someone how I feel, telling someone what. 915 00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:21,840 Speaker 2: I go through. 916 00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,279 Speaker 4: And like you just said, you don't need to be 917 00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:29,200 Speaker 4: diagnosed to realize that you have a bad behaviors with food. 918 00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,640 Speaker 4: If you're feeling anxious around food, if you overthink food, 919 00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:37,760 Speaker 4: then you most likely have a bad relationship with food. 920 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,560 Speaker 4: So talk to someone about it, open up about it. 921 00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:45,399 Speaker 4: Make the steps to recovery now, because the longer you're 922 00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,040 Speaker 4: within it, the harder you to get out of it, 923 00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:51,440 Speaker 4: and it can just easily spiral so far down. So 924 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:56,560 Speaker 4: actively make the actions to get better now and speak up. 925 00:46:56,600 --> 00:47:00,440 Speaker 4: Speaking up is definitely my number one save when it 926 00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:02,040 Speaker 4: was with my recovery was opening up. 927 00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 2: Open up to my mom.
