I've made several new years resolutions over the years, and kept 2: I never let a compliment go unsaid (your videos rock) and I never walk by a person crying without stopping to see if there's anything I can do to help. I think it's because both of those resonate more with my core values than "losing 20 lbs". But at the same time, I also want to be healthy. I look forward to the app!
I absolutely love your resolutions! Those are so wonderful and thoughtful! (Thank you for the compliment btw!🥰) I cannot wait for you to experience the app! I would love to hear what you think!
Stopping to check on people you don't know personally is truly a Samaritan attitude that I appreciate and I pray God blesses you. ✝️ You have inspired me to pay closer attention to the people around me so that I can minister to them and in a more personal way. 🌹
Psyched for your app coming out!! Heading into 2024 with a different mindset. No dieting, no weight loss goals. Just focusing on overall health, trying to get off my pain meds, lowering and controlling my inflammation. And making my bed daily. Lol.
Love these goals and shift in mindset! It really does make the world of difference. So excited for you to experience the app. I hope you have an amazing 2024!
I hear you! Several years ago I was taking the tramadol 300 because of cervical spine derivative disc disease. It was so hard to get off of but I did it. Now I am trying different methods to control inflammation. Cortisol shots in my disc area by a pain management, doctor periodically really do help.
As a person who suffers from chronic illness myself, I can understand the struggle when you are dealing with pain. There are a group of people called the Spoonies. It started with a girl with chronic illness who explained at a dinner table with spoons that she only had a limited amount of energy every day and the spoons were symbolic of the energy.
Her friends didn't really understand her struggle.
I love your videos so much, my whole life I have struggled with worrying about my body image and your videos have really helped me feel confident in myself. Thank you so much and don’t ever stop making this amazing and inspirational videos!
Thank you so much! I am so glad that you find value in these videos! Keep fighting the good fight!
Thank you so much for all the videos and content that you produce, it has really helped me to heal after struggling with food for a long time ❤
I'm so glad it's helpful!! Keep up the amazing work, my friend!
Stepped on the scale this morning and noticed that I lost 6lbs.
My mind immediately slipped into "omg I have to watch what I eat so I can lose more"
I sat down and I started doing as I usually do and started to plan the diet.
Then I was like "wait a minute. I lost that weight without the diet.. what am I doing?! This is why I have an eating disorder... now who was that lady who makes those shorts against diet culture..."
And so here I am
You definitely do not sound like an idiot that has no friends lol. I really resonated with a lot of what you said. I also find our goals to be very similar. I am very independent and fairly introverted. I struggle getting out of the house because I enjoy my own company so much. Of course, like you, once I am out I always enjoy myself. One thing I have planned to do this year is to go to the pottery place every quarter of the year with the end goal being to gift my mom a set of mugs that I've painted for her next Christmas. I plan to invite a friend with me each time I go.
I also have gotten a yearly membership to a few local museums and the arboretum as a means to get out of the house more. Even though those are fairly solo activities I can always invite someone along if they express interest.
Another goal I have is continuing to view exercise as a privilege and continuing to take advantage of and be grateful for that privilege as well as continuing to stay sober. I've been sober for more than a year now and while it isn't difficult, it can be a bit complex socializing when you realize how much people use alcohol as a means to socialize.
I also have a goal of focusing on my mobility this year by incorporating one mobility session into my training regime biweekly, eventually increasing the frequency until it has become part of my routine.
I love paint by numbers but some of them are way too tedious for me. The one you've chosen is very cute.
I love your goals! These are so awesome! Bring on 2024! We got this!
🙌❤
Oh man I love painting. I love doing the ceramics and going to painting classes. And I do resonate with the alcohol issue because a lot of these painting classes people drink wine 🍷 However, they have always been pretty cool when I bring my own beverage. Thankfully, drinking is not necessarily the focus.
The fact you dont paywall this information shows you really do care so much for others 🥺These videos have helped me sooo much as Ive been healing my relationship with my body ❤️
Thank you so much! I want everyone to be able to experince food freedom! I got you, friend!❤ I'm so glad you have been healing. That is incredible!
Being in a calorie deficit without freaking out. Finding more confidence in that as well.
I love this video. I have struggled a lot with setting goals. I loved your painting! Looking forward to the app ❤
Thank you so much! I find setting goals so helpful. I cannot wait for you to check out the app!!! I'd love to hear what you think.
Thank you so much for your videos! You have helped me a lot ❤
I'm so glad! So glad to have you as part of this community!🥰
I just love your videos and I love how real you are. You give me like a kind of "trusted older sister" feeling. You have taught me so much and intuitive eating has changed my life, but every time the diet culture secretly tries to lure me back in, I come back to your videos and am reminded of how to live free. Thank you so much Colleen. God bless you😘
oh my goodness, thank you so much! You are amazing for continuing to put in the work and keep on your food freedom journey! So inspiring! Happy to be your "trusted older sister"🥰. Thank you for being part of this community!❤
Your videos has been so incredibly helpful to me as I have recommitted to intuitive eating. Thank you so much for everything you do!
I'm so glad you are working on your IE journey, and thank you for being part of this community! I appreciate YOU!❤
Came in at the right time as my mind was trying to go back to diet culture mentality
It's kismet!❤
Love love paint by number🥰So relaxing!!!
it really is!!
the swaddle is genius!!!!
Healthy eating is not restricting its broadening the kind of food you eat about having variety . It leaves you feeling satisfied, not too hungry but not regretful.
Food creates positive memories not memories you regret and wish you never had.
So what makes food unhealthy is not that slice of pizza you ate or that slice of birthday cake, it’s the fact you had too much and the fact that you filled up on the wrong kind of foods that you didn’t get to eat unhealthy. What makes food unhealthy is if it makes up more than 50% of your calories. If most your calories are empty calories than it’s the nutrient defiencies that make you unhealthy, not necessarily the calories the sugar salt and fat that your body gets from all good anyways. Saturated fat isn’t bad it’s just if your diet is made up of saturated fat, your missing out on other good fats that’s how you should see food, as something to add not to take away.
But we are not talking calories we are talking nutritional value
Got autism and adhd diagnosis at 39 and have been reworking my relationship with food ever since.
You got this my friend! Glad you are part of this community!🥰
You verbal explanation of why that sandwich wasn’t goals sounds exactly like a conversation that me and my girls frequently have when we are eating a meal.
It’s a good bit x, y and z just didn’t make it the best it could be.
Thanks for always being real with us.
It is so good that you have these types of converstations with your kids during meals. That is such an awesome way to teach them to tune in. You are killing it mom!!❤
i too am trying to get out of my comfort zone and just do new things. this year i want to try chocolate making and curling (the sport)😂 my why for the sociEATy is to be able to live more spontaneously so that's my bigger goal
edit: yes, the journalling feature for the app will be great. i keep my own journal while going through the lessons but something right there in the app will be a wonderful addition
Hi I love ur vidssssss
Hey there! Thank you so much! You are awesome!
@@ColleenChristensen omg you actually replied!!!! TYSM
You may enjoy knitting or crochet as a creative hobby for unwinding in the evenings
oooh, that's a good idea! Thanks for the tip!
I still say stoked!
It's a good word!😆
Time to get healthier for the new year. I’m tired of losing weight for looks, I want to feel good inside and out!
Sounds like IE may be the right fit for you! It's all about feeling our best!🙌
I love your personality and your energy! You are so very helpful! However, I have a pretty bad eating disorder that may need counseling for.
***Anyways, would you be willing to make a “What I eat in a day”, including your food choices, mindset surrounding it, portions sizes, how you feel eating it, and your actual thoughts that you personally go thru your mind while eating? I need to learn how to mimick the mindset part.
Thank you so much! Yes, my first suggestion would be to seek a professional that can help you with an active eating disorder. I do have some What I eat in a day's on here, and I also do some on IG where I do explain my thoughts/ feelings about what I eat. I most likely will do more in the future as well. Thanks for taking the time to comment. You got this!
as someone who struggled with an eating disorder and who still struggles very much with body image, i would never wish eating problems on someone else. i understand how people now as a result come to things like no foods are bad and such, but i feel i only agree with that to some extent because i know there really are some foods you should eat rarely, and not everyday just because you feel like it and that's okay. that's my seeing on all this, i do think some things about diet culture are messed up, but also people have gone a bit far so i don't agree entirely.
Intuitive eating concept includes eating what makes you feel your best. Many of the treats and things that Colleen has eaten in her short videos are not something that I can consume without feeling pretty awful.
You don't have to eat oatmeal cream pies to be an intuitive eater. You eat in a healthy and balanced way and you learn not to fear food, but instead make decisions about what you eat based on how it makes you feel.
This year I really wanted my New Year’s resolution to shift from losing weight to healing my relationship with food. Food has always had a tight hold on my life, and I want to break free from that. I really feel like your videos will play a huge part in that. They always give me so much inspiration, so I’m very excited for the app!! 😊
My other resolution is to read more this year! I also get bored of reading sometimes, but audiobooks have been a big help for me! I love to listen while crocheting 😁
You have come to the right place to find food freedom!!! So happy for you that this is one of your 2024 goals. I am so excited for you to experience the app. I enjoy reading also!❤
I hate cooking bacon too, but air fryer bacon is where it's at!
love it! The air fryer is good for so many things!🙌
I love watching the Real Housewives while I do art so I can totally relate! ❤ I love the Real Housewives of NYC and Beverly Hills the best!
🙌
😊😊😊😊😊
🥰
I have a question - in various places I see that when cooked rice is chilled overnight, the glycemic index goes down. Is that backed by science or just unfounded rumors?
The Real House Wives of New Jersey is my favorite!
🙌
If you love paint by numbers you might like diamond painting. Give it a look!
oooh, I'll have to check it out! Thanks for the tip!!
love your CZcams videos! more content here please
🍤🦐 I love me some shrimp. Skrimpz*(That's what we call it in the state of Texas USA)
@@princessbabibear4794 then you'll love it for sure!
Thanks for your feedback! I really do appreciate it!! Thank you for the yummy meal suggestion too. That sounds delish!
Hey huge fan of yours! You really helped me through the tough time when I was struggling with my own ED issues!! ❤ I would love a mention to my new CZcams channel if you would like to mention it! Thanks for always having people’s backs and always supporting others!! I always love you diet clips they always make me laugh and smile now that I’m recovered about how silly some things sound when you might be deep in an ED! ❤😊
She touched the Elf!!!! 😱😱😱😭😭😭😭
😬
@@ColleenChristensen 😆🤣
I'm an advocate for people with eating disorders and I pray for them and I'm praying for you. Colleen.
This app may be really beneficial to a lot of people.
I don't just put things out in the universe- hoping it will somehow conspire to help me reach my goals.
I go directly The Master Builder, ultimate authority and Creator of the universe.
GOD ✝️
Jesus said apart from me you can do nothing.
I pray that your app glorifies God and helps those and need.
Micah chapter 6:88 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
I hope you understand how impactful you and your videos are. You have genuinely changed my life and have helped me slowly heal my relationship with food and body / weight. Hugs 🤍
Oh my goodness, thank you for your kind words. YOU are amazing for putting in the hard work of healing. Proud of you!❤
