I see myself in a lot of what you guys said about your pasts. About to graduate from uni, spiritually awakening and just turned vegan :) Thank you both for creating this space and telling your stories! ❤️

I really needed this. I’m in recovery currently, hitting a place of fear because of the weight my body has gained back. Because of this fear as well as growth not being linear, I haven’t eaten yet today and it’s almost 5pm. I’m gonna go eat now and not feel guilty, or sad, or bad. My body deserves food. My body deserves love. No matter it’s size. Anyways thank you again. I was really excited when I saw this. It’s also been rare in my experience to find vegans who are not fatphobic, not focused on size or “false/visible health” etc. Again, I really appreciate hearing you both talk about how veganism was freeing for you and how there is hope, a broader community, and freedom in having discussions like these. 🖤

this is such a huge topic that needs to be talked about more openly. I know so many people, women especially, who have struggled with their relationship with food. it's such a hard discussion--so heavy but so necessary thank you for sharing your thoughts and your time

Yessss to mental health coming first and physical health following! Last year a read a book literally called “The F*ck it Diet” and it completely changed my life! It’s a great look at undoing the effects of diet culture and getting rid of the guilt associated with certain foods. I’d highly recommend it!

YESSSS! 💛💛💛 Thank you for taking the time to watch and I’m definitely adding this book to my list. I appreciate you!

I love this convo so much! It’s so enlightening. I struggled with my weight. I remember wanting to diet when I was 10 cause I was chubby (can’t remember if I actually did or not). When I was 13-15 years old I was anorexic. I stopped on my own cause I couldn’t recognize myself in the mirror. My adult years I’ve struggled with weight. I’ve done low calorie diets, intermittent fasting, The Special K Diet, Clean Eating, The JLO 10 Day Challenge (which was so hard cutting out sugar). Now that I’m almost 32 (end of the month), I just eat fruit, Honey Nut Cheerios (by itself or w/ Silk Vanilla Almond Milk, drink fruit juice and go walking from time to time. I splurge here and there. It helps me cause I’m more cautious cause I would eat junk food way too much. I have lost weight which I’m glad because there was a time I couldn’t fit most of my clothes. Also, it’s hard losing weight around certain family members cause sometimes they would get mad/upset at the weight I’m at, even if it’s my biggest weight. It’s really nice to see to friends casually talking about weight and food.

This conversation is so needed! Both of yall were spittin' facts! I love how you both explained that there are no "bad" foods. Your perspective on exercise was refreshing too, it isn't punishment, exercise can be seen as a reward or a way of giving thanks to your body and expressing gratitude for the privilege of being alive in bodies. ♡

I'm currently in college and I agree I've never been more aware of my body image. This chat was really enlightening... thank you (:

I always had a terrible relationship with food ESPECIALLY in high school (I frequently starved myself to try and lose weight), until a couple years after I went vegan and started becoming a lot more conscious about what I was eating, and how it affected my physical and mental health. Now that I eat (mostly) healthy I've learned to intuitively listen to my body and what it does and doesn't need AND more importantly the foods that I have intolerances to that have been long affecting my health. It's been a damn journey, and of course I still eat junk food every now and then, but I no longer have the energy to beat myself up for it anymore. Only love and compassion in this house

Wow good conversation. Our system keeps us focus on looks, possession, calories, money, experts and so many insignificant things. As far as experts just know the best teacher you will ever have is you on any subject. Research it all. Check out "Fit For Life" by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond and never count calories again. Focus on the worst things make it difficult to focus on your mental strength and developing yourself in the ways that are way more significant. Thanks This was needed and enjoyable

LOVED and LEARNED so much from this conversation! Thank you both for being honest/ vulnerable in sharing your experiences and wisdom

Thank you Misako for this video. This kind of content has been helping me a lot lately. Though I have to say one thing, (I know you didn't have any bad intentions choosing such words) - you said when you went vegan, that was when you felt good because you felt like you could stop worrying about calories.. From a perspective of a person who has recovered from an eating disorder, I can say that this may sound quite triggering, baceuse it kind of implements that all non vegan food is, well, unhealthy and has more calories. I'm sure you didn't want to say that, but I'm just pointing out that these words could be interpreted in the wrong way by some people.

I am so sorry and definitely did not mean that when I said that. I am so grateful for this kind and compassionate lesson from you, and I will be more careful with my words when I speak about this moving forward.
