feels like Lauren is that friend that I just haven't met IRL sometimes :L
Absolutely not boring Lauren, just lovely to spend time with you ❤ 🌞
I avoid ice cream, crisps and bread because I simply cannot control myself around them. I overeat them, so it’s just easier not to have them in the first place xx
I'm the same...once I start that's it...dooomed
I'm the same, add cakes and chocolate to that lisr, lm convinced it's a blood sugar thing as when doing keto/very low carb l don't have the issue.
I have the same problem with bread. Being a Brit living in the US the bread here is shockingly bad and full of additives. I make my own because it’s healthier and tastier. The problem with that is I eat so much more of it.
all the swimming shots were so fun! thanks for bringing us along
Glad you like them!
Everyone needs a ‘Lauren’ in their life xx keep being you Lauren as your just fab love ya loads ❤🫶 xxx
I think growing up with mothers that were always on diets or slimming etc have really affected some of us women. i've got the the point now where as long as my breakfast and lunch are healthy and nutrient packed then what i have for dinner doesn't really matter, i try to drink as much water as i remember to and move about as often as i can. also we just need to be kinder to ourselves, if you want some chocolate or half a pack of biscuits then bloody eat them. life is short, eat drink and be merry just make sure you work out and look after your body! its about finding a good equilibrium
I don’t really have rules about eating specific foods, but I do have rules about what I can have in my house. There are some foods I cannot have in my fridge because I will not be able to sleep if they are there - I need to finish them. I’m fine eating them while I’m out, but I can’t resist them at home.
That is a really good idea as we are not going to eat 5 slices of cake in a cafe or restaurant plus sitting in a nice environment makes you appreciate the food more❤
If you don’t dry your hair with 2 hair dryers after swimming is it even Lauren! 😂
I’ve watched enough of your videos now to know this works a treat! 🙌🏼🤣
Your passion for editing certainly shines through , always a joy to watch Lauren .
Hope u had a lovely day ❤
The last two and a half years I have been through absolute hell and watching Lauren every week has been a little bit of peace for me, so a massive Thank You Lauren !! ❤
❤
Lauren stop apologising girl. We love you for who you are. Which alot of us subs relate to. Just do what your doing. Love you and watching your vlogs. Could watch you every day 🌞🌞❤
@@fionaelizabeth6712❤
I find Lauren very relaxing, I’ve found much comfort from her vlogs during the most terrible time in my life also x
Sorry you've had such a bad time. Hope things are improving for you. Big hugsXXX
You’re vlogs are never boring, I think we all find them very relatable 🌞❤️
Best part of Tuesdays!
Yayyy xx
I have a love hate relationship with food. If I am bored I eat, if I am sad I eat, if I am happy I eat. I am overweight and always have been, I want to loose weight but my mind set won't let me. I love your vlogs. ❤
@@clairepryor8794 yep, 100% relatable ❤️
Right there with you. ❤ If I may suggest, try increasing your protein. That's been helping me significantly with my cravings.
I totally relate to this. X
Hi Lauren, I didn't think this was boring at all. I really liked your advice about letting go of people or things that don't bring you joy or make you feel good about yourself. I've recently had to let go of two people for that very reason. It wasn't easy to do, but I know it was the right decision. Also, that green polkadot dress looked really pretty on you and enhanced your eyes!🌞
For my BED what helped me was realizing I can eat whenever and whatever I want. I don't need to hide it, I just want to actually enjoy it. I don't want to be sick or have a headache or any of that. So I choose based on what I actually like.
Also, I'm not a child with food poverty anymore. If I wanted to buy 35 cakes, I could afford to do it.
Eating whole foods and making new recipes or making food that's actually comforting really is fun.
I look at being able to enjoy my food and body as a privilege. I'm enjoying myself ✨️🎀
You look absolutely beautiful in that polka dot dress Lauren. Your eyes are so green! Thanks for another lovely video!
@@amyrogers4234 yes I thought that too x
@@rubytuesdayfromlondontown9194I was thinking the same too
You've got me doing the 'future me' thing now! It's amazing when I'm feeling tired but need to do housework! You're not boring, you're lovely and down to Earth! ☀☀☀
Crisps!!! Love crisps!! I would love to have a crisp advent calendar that would be amazing.
I'm on a diet, last 6 wks i have had a super strict routine, bowl of shreddies breakfast, salad, fat free yogurt and apple for lunch then dinner quorn burger, veges. Snack in evening apple and a fibre 90 snack bar. Weight dropping off. Only tea/coffee or diet coke to drink. I'm super motivated and the routine of my eating helps me x
You ƙnow what I love about UA-cam?You! Every week, we are blessed with "fresh meat" via your videos. 😊
Fresh meat is the best!
I have such a crap relationship with food, I’ve been overweight my whole adult life and feel like it makes me hate myself… I’m 53 n want to just be happy with who I am, why is that so hard? I need to be more like you! My anxiety makes me feel like I constantly am doing the wrong thing.. *sigh*
Ditto ❤
Thank you Lauren for mentioning 🍉. It most certainly needs to be mentioned a hell of a lot more by everyone. Love you even more for it! Xxx ❤
For me it’s about balance and that’s it in a nutshell. I eat fairly healthy through the week but allow myself one day to have whatever I want . It works. I have lost 47kg with this mindset , had major skin removal surgery and lost a further 9kg. It’s all about what works works for you now and in the long term x
Congrats! Amazing job!
What would a typical healthy day for you look like?
That's actually a pretty good idea, I'll have to try this myself.
i have had an awful day ready to give up on life but seeing your video in notifications has given me something to look forward on this horrible day going to make a cup of peppermint tea and watch and relax ❤
Sending you my love. ❤
❤
❤ sending you love
@@rootingbranches thank you ❤

Can't believe what you got in your £5 bag 😂

Hi Lauren, I'm reading Ultra-Processed People just now, too, and it really is an eye opener as to what is being put in our food.
I love your channel so much. ❤️ Love, Annie. xxx
I will not accept your apology lovely Lauren because your videos, including this one are always like a hug for me. It’s just lovely to see you and how your week went. Lots of love xx
Thanks Lauren for being there for all of us♥️
🌞🌞🌞🌞 another fab Vlog .. I so look forward to the day that I live near a decent pool .. to get back to swimming- where I used to live in Stratford we literally had such an amazing selection ... anyhoooo.... Jam first then Cream got a huge thumbs up from me 🤣 I won't leave an essay but enjoyed whole video 🙌🙌
Hello internet bestie Lauren!! 🙋🏻♀️🫶
Please turn your brushes up the other way to dry.
Great tip thanks xx
Rlly appreciate the effort to boycott ❤️
I love your videos Lauren .. I’m going through a really bad break up and I hv been so down but watching you is really keeping me going at the moment so thank you from sunny Cheshire 💚🤍💚🤍
I am trying not to eat between meals. I let myself have whatever I want & as much as I want at mealtimes but then that’s it until the next meal. I have no control if I start snacking I end up eating so much I can’t eat my meals. It’s not healthy, it’s a waste of money & a bad example for my daughter. I’m obese & all the women on my mums side have type 2 diabetes I don’t know how I’ve avoided it so far but I know my luck won’t last forever so changes have to be made!
i have noticed recentley that i have more rules around food and eating if i'm by myself. but if i'm with others and in my community sharing a meal, i am much more relaxed and often eat intuitively. its like the food noise disapates when i am enjoying myself around others!
I know several 70 yr old women who still have diets😮 due to doing it all their lives. Having worked with those with Alzheimer’s, you come to understand as long as they are eating something doesn’t matter about the nutrition. Now I am nearly 60 years old I look after my health not my weight ❤
Your videos are never boring! It feels like I’m sitting listening to a friend just chatting and I love it! Thanks again ☀️
You lovely lady! I’m six weeks post bariatric surgery. I’m struggling with my mental health, and have high self hatred as I’m not losing the weight I thought I would. Even though I’m sticking to the diet. I love your honest discussions about your relationship with food, and your general ‘daft ness ‘ 😄😄😄❤️❤️❤️
I have a chocolate allergy and IBS so the one thing I love to eat I can't . Also I fast every day from 8pm till 8pm the next evening lots of food I can't have as I have gluten allergies too lol . Wish I could just eat what I won't when I won't but never mind 😊 x Lauren your beautiful and so so caring love your videos watch everyone of them thank you xxxx
Lauren is here yet again to make my day so much better❤what a queen
Heyyyy. Here I am xx
Loved this vlog Lauren ❤️ would you consider selling your prints on Etsy or Vinted ? Would love to purchase one ! The mermaid is beautiful ! Xx
Love your mermaid block print and I really wanted one of your mum’s scones
Thank you Alex! They were so yummy!!
🌞I'm not on FB anymore; it was absolutely not bringing me joy of any kind. (I keep it open for family to reach me if they need to.). I haven't looked back. It's amazing how much better I feel and how my life has changed just by letting go of social media.
I understand, I am so proud of you. xx
🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞 I enjoyed watching, from Sonia from Swindon xx
Glad you enjoyed it Sonia xx
A lot of the ultra processed foods are addictive as you have said. Once you give them up you may go through a withdrawal of sorts and then you just stop craving them. Last month I put a ban on processed supermarket products, trying to eat a healthier diet. I've not found it difficult because my food bill is going to be cheaper and that's a great incentive. I've always banned anything that might be a snackable food because I just have no self control and if it's not there I won't eat it. I'm quite good at not impulse buying in the supermarket, but I feel like I am constantly battling with myself between my health and my love of food. :/
Get some bulbs that connect to ur wifi. And they should be able to connect to Alexa. That's who turns off my lights most of the time. 😆
Chocolate/sweets are my biggest problem. I never had a sweet tooth until i lost weight a couple of years ago. I've managed to maintain but i have a terrible sweet tooth now and once i start i cant stop. Literally end up feeling sick. I've not looked into it too much, but I'm pretty sure i have some sort of problem. Great vlog as always ❤
The sugar brain fix is a excellent read x
Brain worm alert at 00:57 :). By the way, when you dry your makeup brushes, you should hang them brush down so the water doesn't travel back up the into the handle.
🌞my food issues have gone on forever. My weight has gone up and down. The best way for me to eat is for my health not weight loss. I do make sure I have protein at every meal because it keeps me full. I enjoy feeling well especially as I get older.❤
What is the US equivalent of clotted cream? I’ve heard it so much but have no idea what it actually is.
🌞 ☀️ :D currently sitting here with covid feel rotten but you made me smile Lauren xx
Oh no Nikki! I’m so sorry xx
Binge eating disorder stems from restriction so that’s probably why you feel better when you let yourself live and eat freely
❤️
Be careful with grapefruit, they mess up many medications so for most medications, you are never allowed grapefruit because it either deactivates them or makes the effect of the meds too strong! So for some hours around my meds times I can't have dairy but I am forbidden to have grapefruit at any time of day! ❤ xx
Thank you. I am off of my medication now x
@@LiveitlikeLauren Ooh enjoy then, I've never had a grapefruit but they look yummy ❤️
🌞🌞hi, to you and everyone on your channel. May we all have a beautiful day today and every day.🌞🌞
hey lauren, it wasn't boring at all! especially today I really enjoyed watching your video. I guess I was in a good mood and happy to see you. we had breakfast together, while it rained outside. cu next time. 🌞
Cute bathing suit! Where is it from? (Lol, not even through the vid yet! But I love that suit!)
It’s from Shein annoyingly
I might be out the loop and sound stupid lol but y avoid places with watermelon
The watermelon stands for Palestine.
Thank you for the timely message about consumption in what ever form. I really needed that right now, your words are so true and helpful xx
You are so welcome 🤗
I disagree lol, I thoroughly enjoyed this video and want to thank you for helping me to slowly get back out into the world while I learn to cope more with my anxiety.🌞
I am someone who loves cooking and naturally likes to eat seasonally but my other half, just doesn’t get it (32 years on 😂) and my dad is vegetarian, so combined with that and my mainly Irish upbringing, means I always want to have at least 2 different veggies on my plate not including potatoes, onions and carrots when they are part of the protein recipe I’ve made 🤣 (real bone of contention in my house 😂)! The things I crave and try to avoid stupidly are crisps (hard to avoid anything potato with my genes 😁) and wine - ever since the freaking advert that compared a glass of wine to donuts 🙄! Does anyone else feel it’s easier to have a balanced variety of food in summer ☀️ ?x
Love watching your channel Lauren! And hoping I’ll bump in to you around Hertford or Barnet one day! ☀️ 🫶🏽
hi i have suffered rrstrictive ed all my adult life i agree with you taking taking the fear outvof eating certain foods helps ease obsession for them my fear foods are all the whire catbs ie bread, pasta rice etc. thank you for discussing these thingsvit helps people like me eds are so lonely ❤❤
thank you for the reminder to take a breath 💘 and to do a much needed instagram sweep!!!
Thank you my friend xxx Cull that feed!
I love your vlogs. I recently gave myself permission to eat with no restrictions. I noticed I no longer crave the processed and/or fast food
Always love watching you, never boring! Thank you for being you ☀️
Xx
☀️
☀️ not boring Lauren! You’re fab! 😃

So impressive that you almost always back into parking spots! I almost never do that!
Also, I just discovered your channel last week and it is lovely! Such a fun vibe and I love all the scenic driving clips and getting to see the city and the countryside!
Much love from Canada!
Welcome aboard! It’s great to have you here xxx
@@LiveitlikeLauren thank you!!
I'm a dietitian and in my youth (20 yrs ago) I was definitely orthorexic. I don't have any food rules and my work involves helping other women move past theirs but I have to say one day I fell down the 'fast food under microscope' rabbit hole on Tik Tok 🤦🏻♀️ and I just can't unsee it 🥴 I'll eat it if there's nothing else but it's not enjoyable like it used to be.
☀️ I'm also reading the Ultra-processed people book, recently found out that I have celiacs disease so my diet has had a big change. Don't eat meat either so basically fruit and veg and a little Ultra-processed which I'm trying to cut down on.
Best thing I ever did was delete Instagram a few years ago. All I was doing was comparing myself to others. Now I just try to live for myself.
Hi Friend! I am currently ready the 5AM CLUB! An awesome read and very refreshing!!!! Cheers! Become a member!
When you put the olives in your salad, i thought...she's putting in 3 olives because she's in her 30s! I do that all the time! Haha. Anytime i think "how many should i have? " i say four because im in my 40s!
Hi Lauren! Love your vlogs, I actually love the breathing parts, they remind me to slow down. It wasn't boring at all. I'm watching from Argentina. We used Google maps a lot usually it's pretty accurate. Hugs to you🎉
Thank you beauty xxx
Not boring Lauren at all!!
Great video 💕
Look forward to your content x ☀️🌞🌅🌞☀️🌞
Lauren your make up always looks really great, could you please show us how you do it in a vid pls?? Xx
Oh Lauren you make me feel so good , everything you say is right to me and it really helps me, I hope that you knowing it helps me helps you aswell. Love your videosxxx❤
That will teach me to read through before sending 😂 I blame the menopause!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
So not bored. Love how real your vlogs are, so relatable ☀️
Lauren Tuesday ❤ glass of wine and chill 😊
And relax xx
@@LiveitlikeLauren 🥂🌸
That book sounds very good! Ultra processed is what we live in now...i try to buy fresh as possible but so so expensive!...and i feel with the process they add whatever to make us want more...sugar or corn syrup? Maybe?...I don't know if anyone else feels the same way but i can finish eating , and feel full, then in 1/2 hr i am hungry again..or at least feel like i am...It most definitely depends on what i just ate for sure. Oh ooops i did not say hello from Canada...Regina , Sask to be exact...we finally got a decent day with little rain...seems to be raining here for the last month and its summer! Not Spring..lol...any who i will look into that book for i love to find helpful information to maybe figure out my brain and why i do the things i do...lol..💚💜🙋♀♥ca
I always love the little trailer you do at the start of the vlog 🤎🤘
You definitely don’t say all the things you think you say a lot, a lot. I promise. Don’t worry, lovely Lauren. Take care out there ☀️
Great reminders about social media consuming and stupid food rules. Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you my friend x
I have started tracking my protein intake. My goal is to get 150 grams a day. Since I started tracking I figured I would write down the calories just to see what I'm getting in with the protein. Shockingly, getting in that amount of protein is crazy filling and I've noticed calorically my numbers are lower. I've read that this can be the case but actually experiencing it for myself, was surprised. Do I still eat my treats, yes but by the time I get to that point I either don't want any or very little at all. I'm pretty much satiated most of the day just off the protein intake. Noticed my mood is better and my energy is better. Going to stick with it for a little longer and see what the outcome is. 😊
Great vlog again Lauren ❤
Thank you!! 😊
I bake for a fishing lodge here on prince of wales Island Ak today i made homemade puff pastry and picked my rhubarb and apples made yummy bite sized deserts , its so hard not to eat all these deserts i make hah. .
🌞 love watching your videos, and the bit about watching someone similar to yourself fits! 🌞
Hi Lauren it's Julie Wallace again. Still haven't changed my you tube name! 😂 I noticed that you are a big fan of grapefruit. Could you just check that it doesn't affect your anti-depressants please? I can't have grapefruit coz of the tablets I'm on. This is intended to worry you, just to check everything is ok with the grapefruit. I'm a bit of a worrier! 😂 You are the highlight of my week, glad to see you so happy. Sending lots of love Julie Wallace xx
☀️ I love watching you blow dry your hair at the gym with 2 blow driers 😂 I have to do that one day.
Wishing you a great week!
I follow people on social media who I like as people and if I had the chance to, believe that I would be friends with in real life. I feel like I have friends,,, when in reality I don't really.
I love your videos, you are so honest , fun, interesting and many impactful thoughts. Sending you a coffee and a hug from Brooklyn. Ps. Your content is never boring, it’s awesome. ❤
I’ve gone down the hayou method and UPF route, fascinating stuff.
☀️🌞 Sunshine from Texas & a Texan got a mention in the video! Are we everywhere? Ha! We do get around.
Love you & good advice to watch what you consume. I’m off to block & delete some accounts as it’s all kicking off a bit over here.
Would you consider trying any of the new weight loss injections such as Mounjaro or Wegovy?
I've been using Mounjaro for almost a month now, and whilst I haven't lost a huge amount of weight. Only about 1lb a week, the obsessive or cravings for 'naughty' foods have completely stopped. It's like I've regained control of my brain and it's so liberating.
I used to struggle so hard with diets or trying to make healthy choices because of obsessive thoughts about sugary foods.
I think you are such a nice person, and like me you are a prisoner to food….i have tried one of the new GLP1 drugs Monjaro…it’s changed my life I wish you would try it just because it stops that constant thinking about food..
Have you tried mayo and cheese, or marmite and cheese on your crumpets?? My partner introduced me to the concept, and it's GOATED
Bloody hell love love love this gorgeous woman,and she loves b&m which makes her the perfect woman 🤣,lots of love ❤️
You cutie, thank you x
@@LiveitlikeLauren awwwww your welcome lots of love and hugs beutiiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have struggled with weight for years. I'm heavy and a size 20. I have lost 3 stone ( had 2 knee replacements so walking a lot more and I've been ill) but I still have a love/hate relationship with food. I'm trying to kick sugar but it's so hard, it's like crack.
I would like to be lighter and feel more healthy. It's not about how I look because at 58 it's more about health.
My Tuesday fix ☀️ far far from boring I don't think you know how much you help each one of us to get through the week. In a crazy situation or a can't be bothered mood I find myself thinking what would Lauren do 😊 only one gripe I'm now addicted to sourdough bread 😭 so thanks for that lol
