I also get annoyed with people who have their dads or are angry with them. It’s hard for us who grieve our losses
Thank you for sharing this video your helping a lot of people with stomach conditions learn about the foods that can be consumed and that eating foods that are gluten/dairy and wheat free can be nice and made into a meal also people can still enjoy treats even with there stomach conditions xx
thank you for this. i have a friend who lost their dad at a young age, and this gave me some perspective <3 take care.
About Nicotine: What is the opinion of the Vaping delivery mechanism?
Everything here was soooo relatable.. I’m exactly going through your initial stages, It’s like you’re speaking my mind..! The frustration, being upset, then scared.. but it feels so much better knowing that I’m not alone thank you❤️ I was also pretty reluctant to buy the Monash app even with your suggestion, but I got it right away after this video�� Did you find that the green light serving sizes are always safe, or did you have to adjust some of them? I’m still so scared to eat oats.. but I want them so bad..
I developed anxiety around Christmas when I got older. I’m an introvert and lots of noise (like my family talking too loud and too much) zaps my energy. My grandmother passed away around Christmas 3 years ago. I still can’t believe it. We had the best time together when I was younger. We’d decorate and cook good food. I also looked forward to our if town family coming home. You’re gorgeous, by the way. ��
Very informative. Thank you for sharing and your voice is so calming just listening made me feel better. Bless you��
you are so incredibly, intelligent, and brave. thank you for all of this. my dad died about 5 years ago and I struggle immensely with feelings of envy towards people who get to be with their fathers and it is so healing to know that I am not the only one. thank you for being so raw and vulnerable. you have helped me so much throughout my life and continue to amaze me.
When you say it’s hard to talk about i feel bad because i know how triggering it can be… but at the same time I need people like you in my life to talk about it and help show that it IS okay to talk about it! I appreciate you pushing through hard topics like this❤❤
I can’t say enough how much I really appreciate this video. I’m in the same boat with being in a recovered state of mind but with the holidays coming up, also having the stressful thoughts of eating “what I’m not supposed to eat”. Thank you for making me feel not alone, Maryana❤️
Hi, I am from Ukraine, and I would like to have such a friend like you! You are amazing!
I absolutely loved this, thank you so much for sharing! I’m currently on the Fodmap diet. All the very best ���� x
Thank you this is so helpful! I often feel weepy around Christmas time. Have for years. I have a good family who all live nearby except for my sister but she almost always is able to come home. In the natural it makes no sense that I don’t want it to be Christmas, I just want it to go away. I do have seasonal depression and live in northern New England, so we have long cold dark winters.
The important factor is how inspiring you are to others even when you’re going through things yourself. Keep the grind going Maryana ����
Thank you for sharing these difficult personal things ❤️ It’s comforting knowing you’re not alone with these feelings ��
Omg ��
I did these cute snowman ⛄️ coffee mugs with hot cocoa & candy canes put inside them. Turned out so cute. ☕️
Then gave a Christmas �� card & taped a lotto ticket �� inside it. ��
These little gifts �� were received very well. �� ��
Actually,they were so cute, I gave myself one also ☕️ ⛄️ ��
It’s cheerful drinking cocoa out of this Christmas �� mug with a candy cane as a stirrer ��. Christmas cheer ��
Thanks for this amazing video. I do feel less alone. You words are making me tear up, because 1) Im so sorry you had to go through that and feel thought things and 2) I related so much to it. Its a difficult subject to talk about, because you’re right; people with healthy relationships with food don’t understand. But thank you for sharing with us anyways. Really appreciate you and your caring words. Hears to a happy, healthy holiday season <3 good luck everyone!! We got this!!
Beautiful advice from a beautiful woman! I can see that you were born to do it!
I agree girl! Trying to keep it up with the holidays, thanks for posting this! I’m posting a what I eat in a day video today on my channel!
First of all your hair looks gorgeous, second of all thank you for this video! ����❤️
Thank you for sharing and letting us in, Ingrid. Ever since I discovered your videoes all those years ago I have felt connected to you, and just more so this year <3 You inspire me, and I appreciate you
I feel you with the stomach issues I have ibs and I find it really difficult going away and trying all the different foods I love you hope you have the best honeymoon ❤️
imogen this video is amazing and you are so down to earth & such an inspiration <3 <3
Hun don’t apologise for being sick! That’s the cards you’ve been dealt and you get on with it so well, you’re sharing your daily life with us and of course it will include that! We’re all privileged that you address you’re audience with such honesty to be honest! Just be you, no apologies needed! ����
IV followed you since your early days bit o wanted to ask, have you had your stomach condition for a long time? IV just been diagnosed with Ibs so can no longer eat diary or gluten but I’m finding all the things that are gluten and dairy free don’t taste great. I’m wondering if I’ll just adjust to it but you seem to really enjoy everything you eat and I’m like gyal I wish I could enjoy something that much �� I think I’ll get used to it eventually the only thing iv liked is the vego bars from Holland and Barrat that you eat �� also could you do like a daytime/ nighttime skin care routine vid because your skin is glowing!
Thanks for this video. I have a healthy relationship with food. I do have moments especially during the holidays where I eat unhealthy foods but I blame it on me being human and I know it will and does happen but I just have to get back on the right track. There are things that I do follow to get me back on the right track like to eat sweet fruit instead of candy or chocolate during my sugar craving episodes or I purposely cover or move tempting treats to somewhere out of reach when I am at work and these treats are all over the place. It definitely isn’t easy but all I can do is try my best and when I give in to temptation I just remember that I am human and have recently started to not be so hard on myself. I’m glad to know that this happens to other people.
ur the best gal…I keep looking at ur central incisor teeth…they look cute….ur hair, makeup and spirit….
You’re amazing. I honestly wouldn’t be able to cope with your condition, and it must be so hard and frustrating having to check ingredients for everything and finding places out to eat! I feel for you ��
Christmas spirit???? Its only November 11th! You’re funny.
Hi Imogen, I don’t usually comment but when I’ve been to Florida parks before I’ve been able to take my packed lunch in with me as I have a stomach condition too. I take my hospital letter to prove I have the condition and they usually let you get a free fast pass too because of your illness. Just speak to someone in the help bit in the park. Hope you’re enjoying your honeymoon! Just thought it may help you out ��
Not that it matters now but my sister told me (she’s gluten intolerant) you can take food into the parks if you have a dietary condition, I think you just need a doctors note x
for me personally summer is harder! I don’t have a set routine as much as I do in the winter so I find myself working out less, eating more, and drinking more. it’s tough, hope the holidays are good to you this year!
What would you do if you explained to the person why they were not invited but then they showed up anyway?
So the dentist hasn’t seen children as good as his children in ten years? Are there no other children that eat healthfully? Or does he not see many children?
I’m gluten, wheat and dairy free so more of these would be super helpful❤️
Hi Imogen! Perhaps the artificial sweetener in sugar-free items are inflaming your intestinal tract. Use honey instead. Also, I eat the sunflower bacon crunch salad EVERY DAY for lunch! Btw, I don’t expect you to remember me, but I’ve been a subscriber of yours for about 3 years now. I live in the Orlando area and my husband and I work at Walt Disney World. I would have loved to meet you while you are here. Enjoy our beautiful weather!
OMG teddy my fella eats everything separately and it stresses me out! I need a bit of everything lol xx
Like immediately bc SNOOPY!! But really thank you for this video, unfortunately I find myself in a very difficult situation with my sister and it’s so hurtful and sad. Thank you for your content ������
Super relatable and made me cry just a little… thank you for sharing x
Hey Maryana, I’ve been on a weight loss journey for about a year and have lost a total of 30 pounds. I currently weight in 128/130 pounds and am at 23-24% bod fat. I mainly weight lift & do HITT 2-4 times a week. I want to lower my body fat but also build muscle especially in my lower body. Majority of my body fat is in my legs and I want to start toning up as well. I am unsure of what to do now, I have hit a plateau and am not sure if I should continue to cut or start bulking. I am unsure if my body fat is too high to start bulking. Any advice???
Omg I love watching these videos I’m from New Zealand which has basically zero gluten free options ive learnt the hard way and I know what u mean when there’s a foreign person attacking if I eat the wrong thing I end up looking 6 months pregnant in 10 mins �� your killing these videos much love ☺️☺️����
LOVE this video and also very inspired by how healthy you are on holiday I would just end up eating all the naughty things in America! ��������
You‘re the sweetest person and such a great rolemodel. Thank you for this video ��
WHAT I EAT IN A DAY ON HOLIDAY HUNS! What videos do you want angels? Xxx
Please continue this… your demeanor is so calming and assuring. This video was awesome!!!
I love how you discuss topics that are soooo needed, it’s really encouraging & helpful to so many..I so miss “Mornings with Michelle” will you be continuing that series?
Hi angel ❤️ I love these videos more please I have crohns disease so I know exactly how you feel, sometimes people get annoyed because you have to look after yourself with what you eat, but knowone understands unless they have a condition love you and Spencer xxx
I really appreciate this video, I struggle with my stomach also and it’s just good to see such a real video ��
I’ve been eating low fodmap for over a year and a half now, some things I have reintroduced well (sweet potato, pumpkin, apples, blueberries, oats) and others still give me grief! but I’m glad I can manage my ibs better!
I am absolutely obsessed with more chatty vlog type what I eat in a day.
��
Hi Carrie! I just found your channel because I’m about to try the low FODMAP diet and was looking for info. Seeing you talk about it gives me hope! I’m not a vegan, but I have IBS + fibromyalgia that might get better with the diet, so the stakes are high. And I eat mainly vegetarian and I’m oversensitive to a lot of fruit and vegetables, so that’s where my challenge will lie. But now I have all your videos to look forward to for info, tips, and pep! It’s good to know I’m not alone.
I like the idea of you writing to your dad. I wonder if it would be more beneficial to do it more often than once a year, maybe you can get a notebook and write to your dad in it whenever you feel that you want or need to? I might do this with writing to my late sister.
Thank you for sharing your story ❤️ Looking forward to your holiday videos!
❤️❤️❤️ I’ve experienced some loss this year my Nanna. It’s not to the same level as losing a parent but the advice for supporting someone is really good. I need to check in with my mum and feel better equipped ��
I literally never comment but I can’t cope with Spencer and his Tyrell’s crisps “and this is my snack, lovely!” So sweet!
They seek wheat free weetabix!! In Waitrose I think they r in pink packet xx
Hi hun, I am watching you and thinking if I could take your condition with your stomach for a week just so you could eat anything and everything for a week I would. I really feel for you. Right back to the vlog now lol ❤
Thanks for sharing, Ingrid. Regarding cutting out family, I think you owe it to yourself to make sure that you are not the one who is wrong. Maybe they have been dicks about it but they could still be right. Knowing how self righteous, selfish and aggressively manipulative Hannah Hart can be, it seems awfully convenient that after showing no signs of lesbianism you suddenly became one after contact with her. Same with Swike when I know for certain she was attracted to guys. Are you living Hannah’s lies? did she tell you what to think. Maybe your last boyfriend wasn’t the finest specimen and maybe the loss of your father made some kind of escapism seem reasonable. From what I gather a significant portion of those who identify as lesbian have lost their fathers.
Swike has a pain too that Hannah could have preyed on. I understand it’s sensitive but if there is truth to it you of course owe that truth to yourself. I think plenty want to just be there with you so it’s a shame if you keep them out by building hannah’s wall of lies. If true and you make a video about it, I think the world will be glued to the screen for that particular tea party. It could heal the world, including getting rid of trump. It’s that significant.
Hello. Your videos are amazing❤, but i cried after i watched this one
There is almost nobody near me who understands. (I am from Russia. so sorry for the mistakes.) this year is the last year of school. And i am having difficult exams which i should prepare to. I don’t have enough time and energy to go to the gym. I try to exercise home but it doesn’t really works. I feel like i look so bad. And my eating discorder is worse and worse. I cry about my insecurity and body almost every day. I should study really hard this year, because my life will change a lot but i can not, because of an eating discorder. I don’t know how i can let everything go and be happy and confident. I decided to write it down, just because i needed to write
This is a super important message! I’ve been struggling with dieting and binging for the past few months but I’m just so thankful for self awareness and my ability to say “enough is enough”. I have fitness and physique goals I want to reach, so I’ve invested in a nutrition coach to help get me there.
great advice as always I will definitely be sharing this video for some one most of all I live number 10 is what I live by thanks for sharing my dear #CaribbeanLove
Hey hun! Hope you had a fab honeymoon!
I went to London yesterday to see the musical Everyones Talking about Jamie and omgggg you have to see it! Xxxx
I just found your channel and I love your personality! These are awesome food ideas. I love food, getting ideas from other people, and seeing what they eat in a day. Thank you for sharing!
https://www.amazon.es/b/?node=5517558031&tag=ID_de_afiliado-21
You always express yourself so eloquently! I know this was a very hard video for you to make so thank you so much for making it!
It’s going to help so many out there that are just hearing this advice for the first time or need it as a reminder. ��
If anyone here is struggling with binge eating, please check out @JessiJeannn on instagram and her Food Freedom Masterclass. I’ve struggled with binge eating for 10 years and this program is the only thing that has helped me overcome it. Jessi has a great podcast and incredible program, check her out!
This is helping me and other people who has the same problem as we do, but we got it and we can do it try to not give up on something you can eat and try be positive
Ingrid, I’ve watched you from the start of your YouTube career and your honesty is what keeps me coming back. You’re vulnerable, real and genuine in every video that you make and you don’t shy away from the difficult topics. Thank you for wearing your heart on your sleeve yet again… you’ve just helped a lot of people. Merry Christmas:)
This will be our first Christmas without my dad. I decided to still buy him a present. Some of his favorite chocolates to share with the rest of the family.:)
every night without doubt.. bran flakes / special k with almond milk and a pink lady apple with peanut butter! BEST meal of the day
A conversation that’s worth having year after year, trust me! Thanks for your transparency and strength. ♥️♥️
Thank you so much for this maryana, it’s good to talk about these things to bring awareness❤️��
Thank you Ingrid to give me the tools to be there for the people I love
Ingrid. Thanks so much for this video. My husband lost his dad this November and it has been extremely hard for him. Sometimes I don’t even know what to do to cheer him up. I needed to hear that is ok to sit in silence and listen. Merry Christmas girl. I love you ❤️♥️
as someone who struggled for years with binge eating….which has spiraled into bulimia that I am currently fighting the battle with each and everyday….to binge and purge multiple times or not….i admire you for posting these kinds of videos. i look to videos like these when i am struggling and i’ll be honest. Thanksgiving is going to be TOUGH for me. i was half tempted to just bring my own meal and not eat what’s there….but I know that only feeds the ED cycle. thank you for being such an inspiring platform for those of us who struggle <3
This is really motivating ��
Now I’m in the first phase of the fodmap diet and I wanted to ask if it’s okay to have one day off every week where I can eat anything!?
You do fantastically considering your health conditions, I do hope you both have a fantastic honeymoon, love watching you both, and every uploads are worth it!!!! ��
hard wheatabix!!!!! cereal at night is a must�� you are an icon love you so much����❤️
This is such an important message! Thanks for always sharing ❤️
You’re great Carrie, I’m doing FODMAP & I’m vegan. It’s still early days for me and your channel is really helping me.
Thank you Ingrid for being so open about your grief and family. I lost my father when I was 14 and also don’t keep in touch with most of my family. This was an extremely relatable video <3 I've got not enough words to thank you for showing other ways to approach grief and sharing your journey, your words are definitely inspiring! I'll be writing that letter too and keeping my father's memory alive <3
thank you for this video princess. I was feeling very depressed Caz I’ve been living I’m Japan for two years and I can’t find friends. this video really inspired me.
I see chicken and salad and eggs perfect for me on slimming world in florida �� don’t always have to go for fast food greasy options. I think an apartment over a hotel room is so much better on holiday, gives you more control over what you eat.
Just a quick tip, if you ever go back. Due to spencers disability and your stomach condition you can ask for a green card when you get to Disney or any parks. This will give you access to the disability queues meaning you don’t need to queue. Becase ya knowwww… not all disabilities are visible 😉 (someone who has done this at Disney Paris because of invisible disabilities):) xx
Can you do a video about binge eating, i know you say that you are not qualified, but i would love to hear your story xxxx i relate alot
When I saw the name sodiumgirl I thought yay someone with high salt recipes whoops! I have POTS and have to get 10 grams of salt a day to keep my blood pressure up.
Would you do a meal prep video for people like me who are going to college and working? Like just easy great meals to make in bulk to have for the weak? Thanks!
Love you, Maryana. ❤️ The video was VERY helpful; thank you so much for going down the path you have, because you are truly paving the way for people like me ❤️❤️ amazing video, as always. And you’re beautiful as ever. Thanks so much for all that you do
i struggle with this and emotional eating and I never got help for it. I’m leaving for vacation on sunday and i’m not at the weight or shape that I wanted to be in and I’m really stuggling with it now like I don’t want to wear a bathing suit and I’m feeling insecure about my body. I wish I didn’t feel this way but I don’t know how to deal with it
I’ve just been diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and I’m travelling to America in April, this video will be a life saver!!!!❤️
yea but my problem isnt……….siigh
everybody is being super mean to me every christmas…and im not even part of the “holiday” stuff. no body has to do shit to appease me! i want no gifts or treats or “be treated with extra niceness”
just stop being such an asshole to me when its christmas!
This was good.
.Holidays are hard for me and I wasn’t going to go to family but your right…because this season will end. I personally hate comments and questions from family period…so I was just thinking yeah I gotta plan my responses. Your example is grand.
There will never be a more authentic, genuine soul on youtube. Thank you for always sharing with us, even through the pain.
Ingrid I thought you’d appreciate this rude but funny Xmas song just to add some unusual Xmas cheer.
Wishing everyone a healthy and safe holiday with people who are chill.
Great video xxx
https://youtu.be/6U2XdkBkTTk
Honestly I thought you were so amazing so inspiring…. I mean you not complaining or being dramatic your living your life and happy and making the most of an unfair illness….. we all freaking love you and if I’m the only one then whatever girl I’m here….. your honestly amazing and my friend
My number 1 tip is strive to BE REALISTIC. If your holiday budget for gifts is $1,000, then don’t exceed $1,000 and don’t apologize for it. If seeing certain people makes you feel anxious, limit the time you spend with them even if you’re in the same room with them and stay fiercely in control of your food and drink intake. In other words, don’t use food, drink or drugs to numb your feelings. Getting busy and involved with charity work like Equinox is a great way year round to avoid all kinds of functions with people that put pressure on you to do something you either can’t or don’t want to do. I think a big part of depression is the belief that our feelings, needs and wants should take a back seat to someone else’s feelings, needs and wants. Change that belief, and you will feel yourself get stronger by the day.
it’s my first christmas without my grandfather (who was very much a father figure in my life) and this video hit close to home. I appreciate the openness and knowledge you shared with us. <3 with love.
Thank you for making this video. It was very comforting to hear your guidance on how to navigate this time of year. I’m sitting in the uncomfortable space with you ❤️
I so appreciate someone talking about these very real struggles in an accurate, empathic way. I love the part about boundaries, and I will definitely use that strategy with my extended family. Before every family gathering, I disillusion myself into thinking everything will be perfect and then become disappointed when I get angry, triggered, and upset. Thank you for your authenticity and vulnerability, Ingrid. xoxo
Thank you for sharing this ❤️ my fave videos are these ones right here, you’re so amazing for putting this out here to help people like myself!
Hi hun loving all the advice about your stomach, I have similar issues and dread going florida in 7 months, those go with your gut tablets are sold out:( x
I’m vegan and gluten free. I appreciate this video more than you know ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I once read somewhere that eating disorder demons never go away, we just learn to control the demons.
This Christmas will be the first anniversary of my uncle’s death and the season has already been really difficult for my family. It’s so strange that for everyone else around me (friends, coworkers, strangers), it’s just a normal happy time. I’m struggling with how much to put on a happy face when they innocently ask what my plans are and how much to bring down the mood by explaining what I’m actually dealing with. Thank you for sharing your own experiences with grief, helping me remember that so many others struggle too.
Thank you so much for starting this channel. It was just suggested to me that I should eat this diet. My concern is I have so many food allergies. Some are soy, almonds, peas, strawberries, blueberries, coconut, black pepper, garlic, wheat, buckwheat, cinnamon, also some vegetables and more on top of being vegan. I’m just trying to figure out where to start so this information is much appreciated.
I am really struggling with this stuff right now. I’ the heaviest weight I’ve ever been. I’m 22, and I want to feel better. I hate how my clothes are so restricting now, I hate how sore my feet get from my 12 hour shifts, I hate how I keep saying fuck it and then I go on to binge stuff I dont even necessarily like? I’m noticing how my entire family is like this. I live at home (year in between undergrad and grad school) and my mom and dad are the same. It is so hard to try to change when they’re the ones that insist on making the dinners, do the shopping, and only make large portions and sometimes unhealthy options. I dont have money to see someone about it, but online stuff does help. Thank you for sharing though, feels better to not be alone in this. <3
Love this video, it’s good to see what you eat in a day and love cereal late at night xx
Can we be friends T^T this hit me so hard.. I love you and I hope you have a wonderful holiday! I struggle with chronic illness so holidays are always difficult time for me when it used to not be. Plus, my boyfriend’s family is super republican and dont understand the things they say can be borderline racist and just arrogant and rude. I think the idea of Boundary is really hard for me. Im not good at being communicative about a problem I have with someone. This is a good self reflection you brought forth!
I know this has nothing to do with the topic of your video. However I just must say, your hair is beautiful and appears to be thriving!!!! Loving it!
Making gluten & dairy free cupcakes…. because my stomach and my happiness are important ��
So proud of you for overcoming this and also for sharing this. Sending you love and encouragement!!
I’ve only been subscribed for a day and your spirit is just beautiful this content is so wonderful!
I have always had ibs but I’m starting to think it may be an allergy. Do I just go to the doctor and ask for an allergy test? Xx
Thank you for the honest frank video♥️The most poignant message was that you had to ‘pretend to act normal’ while with family and eating.I so can relate if we were/are ‘acting’ I wonder how many people are ‘acting’ too!? I also look at people who can just go to the gym for ‘fun’.I would pass on winning the lottery if it meant I no longer had to act but actually had a ‘normal’ relationship with food and exercise.
Thank you so much for making this video! I had found a healthy relationship with food and felt really good but then I started nursing school and the insane amount of stress triggered GERD and IBS and I’ve had to be so strict about my food so I don’t get flare ups (nothing to spicy, no dairy, no gluten, very low fat, nothing acidic) and it’s triggered my unhealthy feelings about food and my desire to binge. It’s been so hard to deal with because I haven’t been able to be perfect all the time and eating one little bad thing would set me into a panic thinking I was going to be sick and I would eat more to comfort myself which would end up making me sick. This video helps me not feel alone and know where the issue is coming from that’s triggering these feelings. I know what I need to work on. Thank you Maryana ❤️
This video was so helpful to me because I am currently identifying my own emotional issues with food, and I watched your channel for a while now, of course you always inspired me, but now seeing that u went through the same things I am going through helps me to feel hopeful that I can get through this..
Thank you for your wonderful insight into setting boundaries. This one is hard for so many especially if one has never learned them growing up. I appreciate your vulnerability in talking about your loss. Keep living your authentic self and helping others to realize their own strengths. ❤️
Awesome video Carrie! Thanks for sharing your experience. I was very reluctant to buy the Monash app. But, you know what? best 6€ I’ve invested ever too! So much easy now. I thought for two years I couldn’t eat tomatoes! XO Thanks for making bundles customized! Your story really helps me a lot on this.
Thank you for sharing your stories! I learned a lot from you, especially the grief part. One of my friend passed away a few years ago, and he was from the US and he was as old as me. I sometimes exchange letters with his mother because I live in Japan, I can’t visit them for some reasons right now. When I try to write her, I really want to know how she and other family members are doing, but I always have a hard time looking for right words and I get scared, what if i say something rude or something that makes her even more sad… Also, I was born and raised in Japan, so I feel nervous and wonder if what I ask her is culturally acceptable or not. Thanks to you, I will be able to write her without any fear next time. Thank you for being brave and giving us great advice.
Sallies of my life through the wine at Terry, live my house and never talk to me again like… It really makes me feel angry… And I’m so sorry about my feellings…
its just really nice to hear that someone else feels that same anxiety about the holidays because of food guilt…
I picked up the coconut milk and soya milk from my local store as i get gut problems too.
I love the way you talk about this stuff Maryana, you provide such an empathetic perspective and really good advice too ❤️It’s so uplifting to hear you talk about food guilt and self-image especially around the holiday season because so many of us can relate! I personally find travelling + holidays quite challenging so I will be replaying this video when I need a reminder:’)
What nom Alcohol drinks do you have? And love watching these videos and all of the manily:) xxx
i have the same problem. almost all my family is dead and the rest I don’t even talk to them…
Thank you for making this it’s been a really hard season and it’s hard seeing other people enjoying their family and community sometimes but watching this made me feel less alone and like I can do it.
Thank you for sharing these tips and allowing us to see you in this vulnerable state. My uncle passed a month and a half ago and this video felt like a safe space to shed some tears. I hope your holidays went well, I’m sending love ��
Yes I mix my food like you. Can not understand people who eat each thing separately! Weird! ��
Love that you’re covering a hard topic amongst all the endlessly positive things about the holidays it’s nice for people to actually have a conversation about why the holidays are hard for people with eating disorders and body image issues❤️ thanks Maryana! This is why you’re my fav
Loving the rawness and the direction of your videos. Touching on subjects that all of us think about but don’t talk about enough. And you speak about the topics with such care and thought. It totally hit the spot on things I’ve thought about recently… the envy and the annoyance… finding ppl who are willing to sit in uncomfortable silence with you and vice versa.
i was so excited to spend the holidays with my long distance boyfriend of more than 2 years. I usually go to see him because of his situation, but this time, he promised to come visit me and my family!:) i was so looking forward to seeing him, but he passed away in an accident earlier in November before thanksgiving. not so excited about christmas anymore… i can’t live with this, i just really want him back… ingrid, i felt ur pain, when u cried, i just sobbed:(… this can’t be real… i can’t
I’m just starting the low FODMAP journey and I’m also vegan so it’s nice to find these videos! Thanks for sharing!
People who eat their food separately annoy me �� all them things on the plate are meant to go together, eat them together! �� xxx
Hope you’re feeling better you lovely lady! ❤❤❤❤ you’re the sweetest person ever. Xxxx
Lol talk to the doc… makes me want to watch this even less… my bf made me watch it because i get deep depression starting during thanksgiving and I’m here on Christmas hiding from my family after opening gifts, feigning being ill because I don’t want them to know how I’m feeling.
I wish I would’ve found your channel 2 years ago when I was going through this. It’s so helpful to hear other people go through this too
I hear you and I’m with you. ��
My mom has had anorexia for 10+ years and set very negative examples for my sister and I growing up. I’ve had issues with body image, binging, restriction since I was a teenager. I will say, the resources available are minimal for eating disorders. My mom was denied inpatient treatment because she was TOO sick and she almost lost her life. It’s definitely a daily struggle but I think allowing yourself to honor your cravings is a huge deal. If not, it’s like you’re punishing yourself in a way. Thank you for this video, and you’re not alone.
Thank you for taking the time to make this one! I lost my husband four years ago and this year the family drama from his side and mine are pretty intense. I appreciate what you said about boundaries, grief, and being sad being ok. Happy Holidays!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. It was honestly so sweet��
Thank you so much for this video. I’m in an interracial relationship and am visiting my family with my partner for the first time in a few years. I’m in the process of establishing boundaries to protect my partner, and am shocked by how my family has reacted to simple discussions of racism and what is and is not okay. I know it’s right to communicate our boundaries, but the stress of this whole process has made me feel sick all week. This video has been a great help to me and I will try to use your examples to guide my communication. To everyone in the comments, we will all figure this out together ❤️
I had to increase healthy fats/oils and white rice to make sure I didn’t lose weight. I feel the same.. I learned a lot about my body after starting fodmap. I’m glad avocados don’t bother me! I too found that some of the fodmap lists contradict each other lol! I’m working with a naturopathic doctor now to help with my gut issues, I’d like to eat all fodmaps eventually, once my gut is fully healed and when I have balance gut flora. SIBO can be the underlying cause of ibs, that’s why the fodmap diet works, it helps with keeping SIBO under control.
I like weetabix only crunchy with sugar xxxx with milk but not much because I hate soggy weetabix
Hi my name is Maria from Barbados I have been dealing with ibs for years now but I am not getting help with it it’s getting worst what I get my bowel would come out come out the same color of what I eat I am in a lot of stress because of my other health problems. My grandmother died of bowel cancer at 52 and I just turn 52 this year. Keep it help most time I spend in the toilet.
THANK YOU, Ingrid, for your honesty and for shining a light on these issues. The dealing with family in particular really spoke to me, and was the first time I’ve heard someone other than myself and my husband share these views. I love the holidays but the obligations, and unacceptable (yet accepted!) behaviour with my extended family really taints the entire season. Laying out the non-negotiable this sounds so so hard, and hats off to you for owning it. Maybe some day soon I’ll be able to do the same you are inspiration X
Thank you for this video! This definitely came from your heart! Thank you for sharing! This is such a beautiful inspired video. I love all your videos and how honest you are! Love you! ❤
Your mindfulness is something to strive for! Thank you so much for sharing this advice, your personal stories and growth path. You are very inspiring.:) Your next podcast club meeting filled up before I could RSVP but I will watching out for the next one! Sending you love and wishes of a mentally-healthy holiday from a fellow New Yorker!
the thought process of binging in the beginning of this video is so spot on. one of the reasons i started watching you. you get it.
if you’re still in America, try the dragon fruit tea thing if you can because it amazing! love youuu x
Literally have soooo many of your videos to catch up on because of having work and being too tired���� love you Imogen ❤️
Your videos are so helpful, and reassuring. There really is not a lot of low fodmap vegan info out there. Thanks!!!
Thank you for sharing! Most of my life I’ve been binge eating and not realizing it.. I just ate my feelings when was feeling down or overate just because I was out and felt that I needed to try everything even tho I was full.. I’ve been consistent with the gym for the last 3 years and felt super bad whenever I was out on holidays and wasn’t doing my usual workout. Thankfully I don’t worry about missing a workout session and I still have fun with my workouts! A few months ago I found balance and am able to listen to my body and give it what it really needs! Saying this, this will be my first Christmas with a new mindset.. I am so scared that I might get back to binge eating during because I might lose the control that I fought so hard to get:( but even if I fail I will try to be more understanding of my situation and not make it a big deal out of it and try to move on because I know how strong I can be!
Great eye opener my spouse’s dad passed when he was a teenager, and haven’t known how to navigate around the holidays
Loved this vid! I could listen to you talk forever! I’d love if you made some longer vids
Thank you for this video. So. Much. I feel like this is a topic that is avoided at all costs by most people. I’m having some hard feelings about this holiday season, mainly because it is the first one where I have specifically chosen not to celebrate with my birth family. I am glad I made that decision and it feels like a weight lifted off my shoulders, but it is still hard to accept that this is one more finalization that they will never be the family I needed them to be and this is one more step to completely excluding them from my life. it’s brought up a lot of grief and pain and has made my complex PTSD act up in fear of the retaliation that may occur from family members, but that is also the reason why this was 100% the right decision for me. I should not have to fear the people i choose to have around me for simply existing.
Honey cheerios are the one!!! Love having them at night and cant stand when they go soggy either! Why cant we just be best friends already! We would litetally get on soooo well! Haha xxx
Can you do more videos on what you eat on a day!!! Some food hauls, and meal ideas. ��
Thank you for making this video. I can relate to this 100%. Every holiday season I get sooo much anxious for different things and others around me know. It’s really hard to talk about it and for me it has been extremely difficult to verbalize it to those who want to support me but don’t know how. Now I can share this with them so they can at least have an idea and support me better. I’m thinking about you this holiday season!
So much love Maryana! I’m currently in the same struggle as I’ve struggled with restricting/binging my whole life and I felt like I finally overcame it but then I was diagnosed with SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) and put on a very strict diet. It’s so hard to figure out this transition so I just wanted to let you know I’m right here with you and thank YOU for sharing as I’ve felt very alone.
I eat cereal at night ALL the time! It’s like my “dessert” after dinner. Almost every night haha. My fiancé pokes fun at me for it. ��
It’s the CUTEST thing when you curse right after you say “excuse my language” lol I love you��❤️❤️
I really relate to a lot of what you talked about in this video, Ingrid. I have celiac disease so food situations are always stressful/awkward/disappointing, I’m queer and have lost two close family members in the last seven years. Thank you for this, it means a lot!
I just found out about your channel and your videos, especially this one, helped me realize I’ve been binge eating in the last few months. I knew something was wrong with me and that amount of food couldn’t possibly be normal but the way you talk about it made me feel less alone. Thank you for sharing and I will remember this video and will carry it with me through Christmas and New Years!
When you cried, I cried. Wow, I have never been this touched by a YouTube video.
Great video!!! But next time, please conduct an audio-video test to assure better audio quality. Mic’s need to be closer to the speakers, angled correctly… and, ideally, the HVAC should be dis-engaged to help eliminate that annoying background hiss. I have my monitor and my browser volumes both maxed and I can barely hear you. Fixing this will boost your “cred” to non-Celiac viewers.
Thank you for sharing this topics with us.
It’s so hard for most of us having this issues with food and food is not something that you just can errase from your daily life and working on it is hard and a life work
thanks ����
Can I just ask what your stomach condition is? Not asking to be nosy, if you don’t want to share it’s fine hun it’s up to you x I’m a student nurse so just find it interesting! Hope you’re enjoying your honeymooooooon
Thanks you for that video. I think I was the only one who feel like that, you now I think most people when they go into fitness they control so much food that it’s become there obsession and that’s what happen to me. In some kind of time you can’t control everything and you become powerless the way u look at food and other stuff but thanks to your video I start understanding things and I thank u for that. I love u, can’t wait ur another video xoxo��❤️
The only person i talk to is my mom too �� the rest are died to me ��
Loved this, hope your honeymoons going well and your stomach gets better����love you both xx
Watching your video while crying. I really hope I’ll one day get out of this.
Ingrid, this is one of the best videos you’ve ever made. Especially the grief portion. Thank you so much for making it. ❤️
Thank you for your video. You have no idea how much I like it. I also use your video as a material to learn English. It’s really helpful. I hope you can do more videos like this. I really enjoy it.
Hello friends how are you all from india i sing some songs how can you hear this song and thank you guys https://youtu.be/quxpb5ZwUGQ
Can you do an updated video on whats wrong with your stomach? I have Crohn’s disease, Gastroparesis and intestinal dismotility. I’m currently fed through an nj tube but trying to do things to make my stomach tolerate more xx
You’re glowing Maryana, despite a very difficult subject to talk about. And yeah, where did you get your sweater??
Asda are really good for gluten/dairy/wheat free both dry food and frozen food. I understand the struggle I cant eat gluten/dairy/wheat x
I appreciate your strength in making this video, thank you Ingrid <3
My heart goes out to you and everyone feeling this way:( My mother passed away November 1,2019 and it’s been very hard.
This was so beautiful and so genuine, thank you for sharing.
I wish I’d watched this video before I went home for Christmas! What you said about wanting to “fix” your mom’s space/life was so relatable and comforting for me to hear. Lots of good stuff in this video, you deserve FAR more views than you get!
I’m going to Spain and Cyprus this year and I always find it so hard to find dairy and gluten free options. They also rarely have vegetarian/vegan options. What do you suggest to do as I don’t want to be in pain on holiday? Xxx
This was an amazing conversation, thank you for staring it. I completely respect and admire your journey with grief, however I was surprised that you didn’t touch on grief in the context of the family that you are no longer in contact with. I’m curious about how you navigate this, as it’s something I struggle with around Christmas and not many people talk about it. Thank you for your vulnerability
Soooo relatable!! I was in the same boat as you and now I am way better but sometimes I still have those days where my mind is just focused on food. Last night I went to my moms house and they were making s’mores and had pizza so of course I had some and I didn’t feel guilty after I was so happy. But then I got home and decided to have a pb and j, some cookie dough and an ice cream sandwich �� today is feeling a bit guilty but I’m back on my healthy routine, went to the gym and now I’m having breakfast, not punishing myself by doing overly at the gym and also not restricting my food. Sooo thank you for this video ❤️❤️
Hey honey,
My heart is breaking watching you struggle, yet keep on going. The way you keep a smile on your face, and push through it rather than get stuck on the negatives is honestly a testament to your brilliant character, and everyone around you is so lucky to have you! You’re a wonderful person, and a massive inspiration to everyone who watches you. I hope you had the best time away, and that you felt a little better in the morning, and managed to enjoy the rest of your hard earned honeymoon! Love you lots! Bee ��
You are beautiful! �� this isn’t something that I deal with but it’s good to hear. Thank you.
This is the best “preparing for Christmas” video I’ve ever seen. I feel like in every video you say something that I relate to that I’ve never heard anyone else talk about. I didn’t lose my father but he was “dying” throughout my entire adolescence, and it impacted me in ways I’m still uncovering and working through nearly a decade after he went into remission. I find I relate so deeply with other people who had sick parents at a young age, I wish there was a support group for those of us just figuring out how it’s impacted us into our adult lives!
How do you deal with gifts? You can’t keep buying yourself presents can you? (Yes I’m sad and lonelyI have to buy my presents for myself):'(
I like the mini wheatabix, but idont likethe big ones, im so weird lol xxx
“…to help you not to feel alone.” You made it girl, thank you so much.
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous ❤️ I also suffered from binge eating.Your such an inspiration to me �� keep making videos love you girl
Why soy lecithin? It’s a major allergen that should be removed from all food. Soy should only be consumed if it’s been fermented
Noone, insist, noone gets bittered by an interesting conversation, if you do maybe you are sick,..
Loved this!! I’m going to Florida in November for my honeymoon! Can’t wait to eat food over there haha xxxx love you
Thank you! Very brave video and really useful to have these conversations.
Thankyou Imogen this is so so helpful. Had to go gluten and lactose free last year after so many painful reactions, I am so grateful for this. I sent you some dms on Instagram:libbycordner_ about how much you have helped me on a personal level. You are a superstar xx
Yes!!!!! Breakfast food at night is the best!!!!! I love Orlando hope you guys had a good time.������
today was my first day. i really struggle with binge eating so it has been hard to resist all the snacks my colleagues have been eating around me in the office but watching videos like this make me so excited for the future and determined to push through.
It’s thanksgiving before christmassss…
sorry to be THAT person
Omg. This is going to help me do much. I have the same as you a stomach condition and also find it really hard then away. So the things you have mentioned in is video I am so Grateful for. Thank you.
Thank You so much Ingrid for sharing this personal video with the world. It was incredibly powerful and real. I think we all needed this.
I can’t eat dairy and recently can’t have gluten and I don’t eat meat. Although you still eat meat, I find these so helpful!! Thank you for sharing everything x
A lot of people talk about the importance of family during this time…..what if I don’t have a family?
Thank you for your videos! I am new to low FODMAP. I have read that large pickled onions are low FODMAP (only large ones). Not something I would have eaten pre FODMAP. My question is, have you tried using a large pickled onion to replace a regular onion e.g in a tomato based sauce? As I cook for my family, replacing onions and garlic is the biggest challenge for me.
You are a sweet pretty lady. And holiday pounds that found your waist must be lovely because you are lovely.: )
A day late because I was so ill yesterday, but loving this video and would love you to do another one soon hun!! Xx
Beautiful words on grief, Ingrid. I lost my baby through miscarriage in 2018 and what I think might surprise people is that I love talking about him. His name is Apollos. Like you say, I don’t forget about him and I don’t forget that he’s dead. But he’s my baby and I love to talk about him as part of my family!
I have been dealing with body image issues as long as I can remember. It feels as if with every year that passes I find a new error in my body. I have tried losing weight the wrong way, starving, excessive exercise, etc. Listening to you acknowledging this helps me so much. Thanks.
Wow I appreciate videos like this like you cannot believe. Binge eating is the scariest experience and so difficult to speak about. Sending so much love and happiness your way ❤️
thank you for sharing! this is so important and not talked about enough.
My own stomach isn’t great so this gave me some really good ideas, thanks Imogen! (Also one of my kids is watching this with me and he keeps saying “She’s such a nice lady isn’t she?” so you have the seal of approval from a six year old
����
Coming back to this video because I am constantly reminding myself of points you made here. I talked to my friends about the difference between letting people into your space and entering other people’s space and way of life. I learned so much from this video, thank you for making it, even if it was hard for you.
Ingrid, I really needed this video around this time. I’ve been crying the whole time. It’s my second Christmas I spend home with my dogs. I agree to make a fun day for myself, doing all the things I want on Christmas (markets, getting a tree,..) and cooking myself a nice dinner. I miss the old time with family and shiny Christmas, but I have to make the best out of my situation. I’m going to write a letter to everyone the way I remember them to let go of my grief. I can no longer expect other people to come and support me and need to be my own hero. Being in your early 20ties already by yourself and having everyone being with family during holidays is really hurtful. I felt your pain. Thanks for sharing I’m sure it helps more people than you’d expect ❤️
I’m confused because different fodmap lists have different foods. I downloaded your list and on it is chickpeas but another one I looked at said chickpeas but in VERY small amounts. I love hummus so should I just experiment? Thank you so much for your video. I can really relate to the vegan aspect. When I gave up dairy I was so excited that I had finally discovered what was hurting my stomach so much but then alas… I found out sugar alcohols (chewing gum) made me really feel terrible. This is so helpful because I don’t want to eat meat again but I also want to still eat!
I really enjoyed this video. Inviting people into your space resonated a lot with me. The food tips were helpful too! Grief, Anorexia, and serious family issues make holidays horrible for myself.
Side note.. I understand it’s pretty when you blur out the background… but when there are fairy lights it becomes a blur and makes me slightly dizzy. It could just be me.
I have to eat everything separate, I always save the main/best part of the meal til last too ����♀️����♀️❤️
This was so good. I am right there with you. I have no contact with anyone but my aunt and Grandma. The holidays are hard and everything you said resonated with me, as was soooo relevant. I loved everything about this.
I’ve been an adult living in my own place paying my own rent for a while but the part about “setting your own” rules is such good advice!!! It makes total sense and seems so obvious but just hearing it out loud from someone else makes me feel like I have permission lol
Mike and ikes are incredibleeeee, i love the blue box, never tried that packet tho, they look gooooddd����
i decided to face my eating disorders a few days ago. nervous but excited for the holidays. thank you for sharing��
What stomach condition do you have if you don’t mind me asking? I’m being tested for celiac disease, having a biopsy next week! Love you imo ��
Thank you so much for this video. I relate to this so much!!! I’ve been battling IBS-C for 8 years!! I’m 5 days into the LF diet, and I do feel slightly less bloated, but, I’m feeling a bit constipated. Did you feel any different at the very beginning? Part of me wonders if my body is just adjusting. It’s like I feel like it’s working, because I feel slightly different, but I’m concerned that I’m constipated, given it’s meant to heal my digestion. Xxx
unless your in seaworld or discovery cove you can bring any food you want in. We bring pack lunch for the kids and snacks for us. I would imagine its hard without bread but they really don’t limit it. I had a melt down in the airport on the way home because I thought I left my heat patches in the villa. I didn’t it was all good but I am glad I’m not the only person using heatpatches in Florida like a nutter lol
I am no way trying to be mean here, AT ALL I love you and your channel… but you are eating sooo much fibre and carbs and very little protein, maybe that’s why you go to the toilet so much? Or it could bind you up! I know you know your diet and body better than me, but just a FRIENDLY suggestion (no one come for me please I love her) just saying! Hope you have a lovely holiday xxxxxx
Thanks so much for this video! My husband seems to have IBS and it REALLY interferes with his life. His GP recommended FODMAP diet and I am so excited he might fee better in just a month or so
I eat a lot. It helps me through my stress and anxiety. I’m skinny and have fast metabolism so it’s not like I gain any weight really but I always feel really bad for eating anything other than fruits and vegetables. I would obsessively work out but would always go back to overeating like 2 days later. This helped a lot thank you!
This is such a needed video! Thank you for being so raw, especially about grief. I lost my dad three years ago, and your section on grief was so good. Making death less of a taboo is so important!
Thank you for sharing your grief. This surely helped and gave courage to many people, including me. If you have the power and courage, please make another video about this topic as it can really help us.
I can relate to the stomach part I have anxiety because of it I worry that I’m not gonna make it to the toilet in time, honestly it takes over my life at times but slowly getting there xxx
Also my husband is so like Spencer, he’s so supportive with it, if Ive learnt anything gut health and mental health go hand in hand xxx
Could you share how you controled your binging and why you binged in the first place
LMAO “where’s sally with the punch when you need it??” I loved this video. Could you do a more detailed video on how to set boundaries in a variety of situations? It sounds easy to do but I have trouble with it
Can you do a video of how to make drinking work with a healthy diet, wine and other alcohol has calories but eating less in a day to make room for the alcohol calories doesn’t seem healthy.
Can relate to all of this! Tesco does sooo many “free” salad dressings xx
Thank you for allowing God to use you as a vessel during this holiday season. This was a much-needed video. Thank you for stepping out in faith and making it. God Bless!!!!
You can get gluten free weetabix called oatabix in Waitrose and home bargains! I haven’t had weetabix in such a long time so I don’t know how similar they are but the oatabix is so nice with seeds, berries and almond milk! xx
I almost wish I’d seen this video right when it came out, even though I think things went as ok for me and for my family as they could have gone we lost my grandma in August, and not only did we have to deal with Christmas etc. without her, our family has a thing where a lot of us were born in November, and she and I shared (still share, really) a November birthday. Getting through the end of 2019 was tough. I didn’t have a magical and joyful holiday season. I just emotionally crashed until 2020 finally showed up.
I am not dealing with grief but my father is sick, and I constantly feel like I am going to lose him. I am trying so hard to create good memories but unfortunately, his health situation does not allow us to spend time together. Thank you so much for being open about your experience, I am sending you love and you too are not alone ��
You have such a beautiful soul. One thing that a friend told me a few months ago about how I felt different and empty after my grandparents passed away is that I should try and live life and impact others to the point where they feel as loved and special as I felt when my grandparents were around.
Lots of love to everyone dealing with loss or other difficult moments during the Holidays and the rest of the year too ❤
thank you for this video. thank you for being so honest and straightforward and for addressing difficult topics even though it is uncomfortable/challenging
Great video:) I really did enjoy it. And tomorrow is indeed not promised! and life is also way too short to let people or things get you down! Stay blessed
Mix all my food and then save the rest of my favourite thing until last ��
Went to the doctor for check up he said I had to lose at least 20 pounds and said to him you’re fatter than me you need to lose at least 60 lol
Thank you so much for sharing these issues and matters. It’s been so helpful to so many people, including myself. I’ve recently also ran into digestive issues within the past year and a half now, and every doctor/ specialist I’ve seen just shrugged it off and thought I’d purge myself (when I do not, nor have I ever) to not hold down my food. I went to a naturopath and she’s actually diagnosed that, like you, I can’t have/ tolerate dairy, gluten, processed foods and red meats. It’s been such a struggle and every holiday I’ve encountered has been really difficult, especially with family gatherings because they all eat and make foods with dairy, gluten and processed foods.
Thank you for making this very difficult video, I can see how hard and emotionally gripping it is for you, and I’m so proud of all that you are, have become and overcome. ♥️
Thank you so much for sharing and being so brave and vulnerable.
Thank you so much for talking about this and being so open and honest �� I’ve struggled with anorexia and binge eating and I remember many times when I avoided eating at social functions because I was restricting or because I felt shame and guilt from binging every day. I’ve created a much healthier and balanced relationship with food the past couple of years but lately, I’ve been dealing with a similar situation to you that I’ve been struggling a bit when I get stressed or emotional and don’t always eat regularly or balanced. I’m fearful of falling back into restricting or binging but I’m taking it one step at a time. Appreciate you girl, sending love your way this holiday season ❤
Thanks for sharing. Very good points. It was also good to hear that I can do something different and that is what I’m choosing this year. Can’t do the family (Toxic, Drama, and Chaos). a change for me is so needed.I will be by myself.
Went into this video thinking I didn’t need to watch it, but I SO needed it. Thank you❤️
I really needed this video. I never thought of getting help professionally.
-What about someone who doesn’t find that low fodmap has helped like I stipp get pain and flare ups no matter what I eat
Thanks for this Ingrid. I really felt the grief part as I lost my father last year, hits close to home. Thank you for being true.
Maryana / ty for this video:) I’m also curious what camera do you use? Ty.
thank you for being so aware of so many thnigs, to be so authentic and for talking about such strong topics. <3
and i relate soooo much when you’re talking about people avoiding the subject of grief or dead… sometimes, even if you open that door, yourself, people just shut it so violently. like “think about what is good”… as if you can forget about you grieving just because you think about a happy thing happening in your life. that’s so hard and painful.
it is really warming to see that what i feel is felt by other people who are grieving… i was wondering if it wwas a normal grief i am into or not. thank you for being so open. this helps <3<3<3
I‘ve had the same issues like you and sometimes I still lose a little control…
The first Christmas after a divorce, loss, etc can be really hard. Thank you for making this video, the holidays aren’t the most wonderful time of the year for everyone and that’s okay.

Your channel has grown into such a beautiful thing. I’ve been watching since the early days, but I enjoy your content more and more:)
I loveee raspberries! My absolute fav fruit! I used to like apricots when I was younger! X
I work in tesco as a personal shopper so i often have to pick special requirement foods, i really reccomend you checking out their range of vegan, natural and organic ranges. Also they offer so many dairy alternatives which without sounding pretentious with tesco, they supply the most amount of specifically free products that i have seen when shopping in other stores��
