This message was perfect timing for me today, since I too had a binge last night! I feel so much better now. Thank you for your positive message about self-forgiveness and moving on.
Really needed to hear this vlog this evening! Experienced my own binge this evening after being bright for 52 days. Was feeling pretty awful. After listening I will reflect on what triggered my behavior, what emotions I'm not dealing with. Thank you SPT for not being perfect but being UnstoppaBLE!!
Just wanted to say how much I appreciate your honestly and willingness to share. It makes the rest of what you say so much more valuable to me. Thanks.
Thank you for your complete honesty. I started BLE 9 days ago and the way you talk about your experience, and your openness convinces me even more that this is a great direction for me to travel in too. Just knowing that you are honest enough to own your choices in public is so awe inspiring. I have had decades of hiding my food issues, and completely understand how hard this is .
I love this. Thanks for being a human and not fake. Not everyone has a super easy life… not everyone has an easy career. This is very real. Love it. Thanks.
Love this and love you!!! I fall off the horse in so many areas of my life - thank you for being real and honest and such an inspiration. I can't wait for your videos and when I'm not taking care of myself and letting addictive behaviours control my body and mind, I check back in with them and feel reinvigorated! You don't have to be perfect you just need to be an example of how to get back on the horse... That's even better than perfect. Your eating plans have already changed my whole thought processes about food and sugar and flour. Thanks so much for everything you share with the world, thanks so much for being real and thanks so much for committing to getting back on that horse!!! Lots of love from Australia.
Sending love right back to you, Miss Snedden. What a lovely message! Hearing that Bright Line Eating has change your thoughts about sugar and flour makes my heart happy. XOXO
I got adrenal fatigue from being overstressed, Susan. I was Overwhelmed by my life, I had no balance. I lost My goal of keeping focus on my wellness. So much stress through work, single moon of two boys, ex-husband, kids, house cleaning, bills, care taking a dieing relative My body kept score. Gained so much weight. You aren’t alone!!!! Love your honesty honesty honesty, is the key why we all love you Susan!
Thank you Susan!! I can do relate to it all - the protein shakes, cough drops and nutritional yeast after decades of abstaining from them in 12 step programs. “For a lot of us it’s just never going to be perfect”. Thank you for your humanness. I so appreciate how thoughtful and honest you are. Working on “loving what is”.
Thank you for sharing this. It reminded me of when I would pick up sober and how I felt the next day. None of us are perfect but this share from you really helped me find my perspective again. Thank you!!!!
You are such a badass Susan I admire your honesty, courage, authenticity and the compassion you have with yourself and others🙏❤💙💚 if it wasn't for all those beautiful qualities you have, all of us who are 10 at the susceptibility scale would be really fucked up. Thank you for not pretending you have all your shit together. Thank you for showing us exactly how to give us permission to be human. God bless
The greatest leaders were never perfect, they were never infallible. They showed multitudes how to pick up and dust off when we inevitably stumble. We will not be taken out of the game. We will show back up and resume.
One thing that helps with cough and dry throat is 1 T of apple cider vinegar in a small amount of water. Also continuing to drink as much water as you can. The apple cider vinegar helps with digestion and colds
I am new to BLE, and I love your honesty!! 🙏🏼 Im a 10 too... Learning what might be me, since I am an actor, I know I have to be prepared to plan very carefully ahead, and hopefully never go backwards, like I have until now... Truely inspirationel to hear your thoughts! ❤️
I had one of the worst binges since being on BLE (3 weeks now). It is so comforting to hear you be so real about this and it gives me hope to get back to my plan tomorrow morning.
Dearest Annalise, you're not alone! I have been there... My team members have been there... Our community has been there... Take comfort in knowing that you're in good company. That said, know that there is hope! Look at what happened during the day or evening prior to the binge. What was the trigger? What can you do to love and support yourself in the future that will give you the tools you need to make a different choice. You can do this! Sending you tons of love, XOXO
My dear Susan, thank you for sharing your journey and its authenticity. I want to share that I had once taken a 10 week course on integrity. We spent 10 weeks with one sentence. That sentence was, "Without integrity nothing works." You are demonstrating true integrity in this. Whenever we don't maintain our integrity, the key to restore is to admit to the break and then work to clean up asap. When we do this, it shows up as respect for the self and from others. As humans, we are flawed and many as you stated will occasionally struggle with breaking their lines. The true growth for them is their ability to quickly admit and acknowledge their break and move forward. This is what you teach and your example. I wanted to show my respect to you for being authentic and maintaining integrity with yourself and the community. That is what integrity is all about. Much love to you and thank you for all you do and the positive impact this has been for my husband and me. Marlene Baldwin...Just realized this was attached to my former name in RU-vid.😄
Visiting this Vlog after reading about it in Rezoom. Definitely saving this to my favorites to revisit as needed. Had a day like this yesterday and this vlog was just what I needed to hear. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
My son had a dry cough when he was younger. The doctor told us that he wasn't actually allergic to Red Food Dye, but he was sensitive to it. When we eliminated it his cough stopped.
You are a fabulous beautiful wonderful human being one day at a time you can only do what you can do ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I never could get into the 12 step made me feel to bad but just starting ble I feel accepted and loved and human ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi, years ago I was the manager of a very small health food store and I got sent some samples from a small company in Colorado called Peaceful Mountain. Their throat spray is by far the most superior product I've ever experienced. You might want to give it a try. Also, I really appreciate your videos!
Thank you for your work! Menthol cough drops are really drying to the throat and voice and could negatively impact your vocal health and quality for videos/podcasts and other work. I am in a nutrition consultant program, but also a music/voice teacher.
Hi, Hortense. For many people, the first couple of weeks are challenging and you're wise to reach out for support. If you're in the BLE Boot Camp, reaching out to your online Support Community is the way to go. If you're not in the Boot Camp, we have our free Bright Line Eating Official Facebook Group. There are thousands of wonderful people in the group. Here's a link: facebook.com/groups/brightlineeatingofficial/
I cannot decide whether to go for 'Bright Line Eating' or to do 'Beyond Chocolate'. I am a 10 (probably a 15!) I just cannot make up my mind what is right for me! Help!
Hi, Mette. For some people, it can be hard giving up sugar and flour. There are a bunch of factors that play into how easy or hard someone finds Bright Line Eating. As with all things, timing is everything!
