The Relationship With Food and Dieting

"I think when I fully went vegan and cut animal protein out of my diet, that's where it messed me up," she says. "My body's always the happiest when I just listen to it and give it what it wants" She adds: "There's no point in stressing out. Makes you hold onto, like, extra... Stress makes me bloated."

I think when I fully went vegan and cut animal protein out of my diet, that's where it messed me up. And I think it, like, messed up my hormones when I stopped eating. I never had such bad acne in my life until, like, a few months after doing that. I think I was, like, very deficient in vitamins for being vegan. Me too. But basically, that's, like, our relationship with food in the past and then I feel like once lockdown happened, like, our diet completely changed and we started to, like, eat normal again, like, more balanced meals. So like a protein, starch, vegetable, healthy fat, stuff like that. And then now I just feel like I eat very intuitively so it's like, if I want, like, me and Emma want to check for like the other day, like, we literally were standing in line at the Apple store, like, waiting to get our new phones. And we were like, okay, we don't have dinner until 8.30 and we're going to a sushi restaurant and we always feel hungry after we eat sushi. So let's go get check for like, like, after we go get our new phone and then we'll, like, go to dinner later. Yeah. So I feel like it's just listening to your body about, like, what your body's telling you that it wants. I feel like my body's always the happiest when I just listen to it and give it what it wants. Exactly. And don't overthink too much. And then when you overthink it, you get too, like, deep and... And then I think you, like, stress yourself out. Yeah, stress yourself out. There's no point in stressing out. Makes you hold onto, like, extra... Stress makes me bloated. Me too. I can tell when I'm stressed out, like, I get super, just like, irritable, bloated, my moods differently. My body, like, for teens, water. Like, for teens, water. For sure. For a relationship with food, that is basically, like, a background of how it has changed from the past to now and just, like, our journey with food and dieting. Also, it's really interesting because, like, you and I Emma have been kind of on the same journey with our eating because we've lived together for the past, like, five years.
