What I Eat In a Days, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Being a Normal Eater | Weekly Notes 💐 

I love your videos sooo much! ❤ Please don’t ever stop posting. You’re hands-down my favourite content creator; it’s not easy to find someone who’s down to earth, in my age range, into writing/art/baking… I can’t even tell you how calming your videos are, the sense of peace and wellbeing they bring me. ☺️ Also, your copper hair is my favourite thing ever.

Nooo Nina, your food videos always inspired me - not so much for what to eat, but seeing your creative soul, expressed through food. Thank you for all you’ve shared

Just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying these "weekly notes" style videos - for me they have all the things I love about your channel: beautiful images, things that are on your mind, books you're reading, and some food. If you never made any other kind of video, I would still watch every one of them.

Totally understand your ambivalence around sharing your meals and what you eat on camera and fully support your decision to not post anymore daily food diaries. I do also think that you should be proud of the beautiful content you’ve created in the past. I for one love your previous “what I eat in a day” videos! I have a special playlist of them :). Please don’t delete or privatize them

As someone with ED tendencies for a long time, I feel that, in my case is in fact helpful to be really aware of what I'm eating. Intuitive eating would never work for me except for the times I'm well rested and zero anxious. Love your work, Nina.

I know I'm just one person, but I wanted to tell you how much I've gotten out of your videos all these years. I find your meal/food content really inspirational. I'm not even vegan and I like to see what you create with whole foods. It gives me new ideas for what I can create. The only problem is that were in different hemispheres so when you're cooking with all these fresh fruits and veg I'm looking out at the snow. I've never gotten an icky diet culture vibe from your videos, never. I like to save your videos and watch them when I'm in a good place and want to chill with Nina for a couple of minutes. You're doing great, keep doing what's best for you! ❤

I love the what I eat in a days because I dont judge anyone I just see them for inspiration. But I understand the pressure you feel. Eating cereal for dinner is normal! We all have our days!!!

I’ve been loving your content creation of the last couple years! The anti-diet culture talk has been very healing for me as a person in long-term ED recovery. I’m also loving watching your writing ✍️ process 😄

For the last year I have been baking one loaf of bread and a cookie tray once a week and it has been so beneficial to me! The joy of having created something enabled me to enjoy these foods and see them as nourishment instead of thinking about them in terms of calories

the truth is we just adore you! We just love the little thoughts and moments, eat in peace. we just love your heart. 🥹

Honestly the singles girls what I eat in a day just gave me something I needed!

Ahhh Nina, thank you for being open about your relationship with food. I'm positive I'm not the only one who needed to hear you and relate. It is an incredible struggle to heal how food is perceived as reward, worth or lack there of during an ED and post ED. And it IS so easy to dip back into those tendencies, which can feel very internalized, permanent and lonely. You are doing great and I appreciate you ❤

Hi Nina 😊 I just had to write and say that your food videos were the opposite of negative for me - they were sooo incredibly positive!! Seeing you cook beautiful, colourful, vibrant and creative meals inspired me in the best way - to cook meals that bring me sooo much joy and satisfy my soul as well as my tummy! You introduced me years ago to foods that I adore and enjoy regularly (tahini, buckwheat noodles, nutritional yeast, sauerkraut - just to name a few!!). And I can happily say that I’ve never had such a wonderful, joyful relationship with food. Thank you ❤️ Absolutely loving these weekly notes videos and seeing snippets of your life and foods without it being so much pressure on you. Your videos are so uniquely you. None of us want perfection - it’s a privilege to watch your reality 💖

The opposite, your videos have helped me to get more intuitive about eating and normalized eating everything, romanticized food at times in a beautiful but also simple way.

Always stay true to yourself! We always appreciate you ❤️❤️ but your food Videos always made me feel better!

I'm fascinated by how this hair color suits your face and adds some kind of magical vibe. And it's fun to watch your short video notes from the day. Love it!

Your WIEIAD sparked my creativity, please don’t stop sharing recipes. Love your banana bread recipes and I started to eat cereal with fruit due to your videos. Will always continue to watch u and thanks for being honest

Sending love, Nina! 💛 for what it's worth your food videos were always a happy place for me :) appreciate your reasoning for not continuing to make them, and will always enjoy your other content too!

You are so transparent and authentic person. I love your videos , you always inspire me. ✨️

Ver tus videos me da tanta calma Nina 💜

I have lost track of how many years I have delighted in your videos. I have never once been made to feel bad about anything you have posted. Even when our habits have differed, you present them with such gentleness and grace, always verbalizing how differently everything is for everyone. I will continue to enjoy your wonderful content, regardless of what it may look like. xx

ninnnaaaa 2:25 literally experienced this. my sentiments exactly. it really put a strain on my relationship with food, myself, and just creating in general. and it kind of felt like I was making WIEAD vids because I HAD to. hence, the reason why I'm on a little YT break until further notice at this point. butttt, I am LOVING the weekly notes/vlogs. look forward to them every week.

I understand your decision to not make what i eat in a day videos and love any video you make , for what it’s worth , those videos never made me feel bad about myself , it was inspiring and gave me ideas of meals and cooking and what not ❤you are an awesome human !

Started my morning watching you and was then inspired to bake some banana chocolate muffins to have with my coffee. Thank you for sharing your thoughts as always. I really empathize with those moments of cognitive dissonance you described. Sending you my gratitude and compassion 💌

Sooo happy to see a video of you! Always such good vibes ❤

thank you so much for creating content. I hope that you always find the balance that you hope to find, while also knowing that, to me, your videos always feel like a warm hug, a slice of joy, or a connection to peace. I find a connection with your content that is unmatched and am truly grateful for the time and energy you have taken to produce.

nina! thank you so much for sitting down and talking about your thoughts on the what i eat in a day videos. i've been a long time watcher of your videos, and although i really liked those types of videos you put out for inspiration (i love how many colors you try to incorporate in meals in particular), i couldn't help but wonder what goes on in your head in the process. there's just so many influences out there telling us what we should or shouldn't eat, it's so much !pressure!

WIEIAD sparked me to create new foods for myself so zi thank you for them💛

There is something deep in my memory that sparks when I hear the noise of an Australian morning, the birds and background sounds agh I miss it! I grew up in Australia and I am now living in Europe. Nothing hits the same, fresh, early relaxing mornings ❤

hello nina :) just feel like saying, you arent responsible for how others feel/react to the content of your videos, you are just sharing what you want to share and it is not your fault about what reactions it causes in others! you are free to make 'mistakes', and do whatever you want to do and share whatever you want to share. peoples triggers to things are their own responsibility, although i understand its hard when people dont see it that way. also about the feeling sad about having wasted so much time worrying about food, i have had a similar past too. but i believe now there is no such thing as a waste of time. we had to go through things to grow. often we had to go through things repeatedly before we begin to grow. and it seems like we could have done things faster. but really, we couldnt. trust the flow and the timing of life. btw this comment is every bit directed to myself as it is to you haha. lots of love

if you like podcasts at all i’d highly highly recommend Maintenance Phase, it gets into all the weirdness of diet and “wellness” culture, the hosts chat about a lot of similar ideas to how you may be feeling! also just SO interesting to learn about

Nina, your videos are always so healing for me! I'm going to start taking notes about everything I read like how you did in this video - the idea of having songs, quotes, related podcasts, thoughts etc. in a visual place like that is so inspiring. thank you

I appreciate you so much! Been watching you for so many years and I really love your progress and that you talk about it openly (as opposed to many ytubers who lean into trends and don't question them bc they do really well in terms of views etc etc). I feel like i'm growing up and changing with you, so thanks for being so open and honest

Hey Nina , i wanted to thank you , you (together with two other youtubers) have played a crucial role in my ed recovery. I was able to heal my relationship with food and be intentional, intuitive, caring and loving with my body , not only have i recovered, i actually love my body and care for it . Not thinking about food has freed up so much mental energy for me to start living a fuller life and to enjoy it for the first time in years. I really want you to know how big of a role model and an inspiration you are to me , i absolutely admire your whole essence and character.

The little things of everyday life that you show are so charming, the way you depict the "daily" is charming actually. And I really loved what you said about relationship with food. I use Milanote everyday! It's fantastic, It helps me basically with everything, in planning my work, my study, my books, making my own visual board...beautiful... I love it

i've recently come across your vlogs and they bring a lot of comfort! love the way you created notes for How to Do Nothing! i recently read Odell's Saving Time and i think the way you take notes has completely changed the way i see note-taking. thank you for such a wonderful video!

i am so happy you’ve reached that insight. sounds really wise. look forward to see what you share in the future, foodrelated or not. have grown to love your videos

Your videos always inspired me to eat more and different things than what I had been eating at the time. They also inspired me to attempt veganism. I used to work an insanely stressful job, and lost all ability to feel hunger. It took a long time to regain my hunger (and had to switch jobs), but your videos always felt like a way back to that. To being excited about food again. I love this 'new direction', I love hearing about your week, and your joy, and your writing. If you want to keep sharing, I will keep showing up here. But no pressure!

I'm glad you're finding your truth with food and I love your tunes!❤🎶

Es increíble lo rápido que puedo darle like a tus videos ❤ y puedo decir que eres de mis favoritas. Tus videos siempre me han dado tanta calma e inspiración. Eres de las primeras a las que he seguido en youtube y espero sigas creando contenido porque te sale tan natural. Amo tu vibra. Gracias por esto ❤

really missed your videos!! love this kinda vlog, chatty, music, baking and life videos

The first song in this video, love it! Can't find it in your playlist though. Your videos are really relaxing, still making your chickpea/bean soup/stew with the whole garlic in there. Delish!😎

"Food, we need to talk" is a fave podcast on the food subject! I think your vibe

I love what i eat in a day Videos especially yours!

Your last two newsletters were incredible, I got to read them in bed after waking up early and wow, you're incredibly gifted. They reminded me a little but of my favorite author, Kate Christensen, her The Epicure's Lament is one of my favorite books of all time.

I am in my late 40's in my early teen years had a eating disorder till my 30's but now I try to enjoy my food but I do see my self worry about how much I eat so to say this is a battle but I love your videos and talks on eating disorder and ur positive energy

I know you won’t make them anymore but I loooved your food videos. It was inspiration for me to see how I can be creative with what I have. But you do what’s best for you.

Thank you so much for your videos! I really appreciated your reflections on filming what I eat in a days and hyper awareness. I love how your videos always help me find joy, peace and beauty in the simple things. It makes perfect sense that your content evolves over time. Keep taking good care of yourself and thank you for sharing your journey and inspiring me to say f you to diet culture and be a happier and more fulfilled human :)

I love your food content but also your content in general❤

I am happy that you recognized that boundary and are doing what works for you. I am also happy that you are making videos again! I love the vlogs; they bring me a lot of joy. You had previously mentioned that you became certified as a health coach (i think). Are you still on that path? I would be interested to hear about that if you would like to share :)

I find your content very healing

Love your food videos, wish you would continue but I completely understand everything your saying is valid

So pleased you're back 💓 Jenny Odell's book has been on my list of must reads! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on this one. Love from Aotearoa x

Yesterday I had a sad day and wanted to make tahini choc-chip cookies but didn't because it was making me feel bad. Thank you for inspiring and reminding me it is OK TO EAT A FUCKKING COOKIE!

Wow this looks so yummy I can’t wait to give it a try😋😋

a very-very heartwarming video

Your hair😩💗

I usually save your videos for after work but uhh sometimes my impatience is strong hahaa, I’m going to go take my coffee break and watch this! ☕️ watching your videos always feels… indulgent I guess is the word?? Also, loved the continuation to Slow Fast Men! ☀️ sending good vibes from Canada :) ✨

Where is the Nina-cookbook-with-great-short stories-between-the-recepies? Where??

Always look forward to your videos....u be u...and we still love to see u😊

What was the website you used for your book notes? I also love reading but also find I don’t remember as much as I’d like!

My favourite things about 'what I eat in a day' is being inspired by new foods and recipes to try. I've enjoyed many of your vegan eats and if you're comfortable to share recipes without them being in that frame I'd still be a very keen viewer 😊p.s. love your reading blog content very much also 🙏

Love this!!

Nothing like empowering your cookies before you eat them, I actually consider it the secret ingredient 😆

Have you ever thought about joining a writers workshop? I think it's a great space to explore your writing and to hear what other people think and feel about it. Writing is a pretty lonely practice, so if you get a chance to listen to what 2, 3 or more people have to say about your work it may guide you, it can be truly amazing to hear what other people are understanding (or in some cases misunderstanding) about your own prose.

I absolutely loved reading 'How to do nothing' so I am soo glad to see you are reading it. I wonder what you think?..., it seems a real 'marmite' book in my personal environment!

BTW. ..lovvvvvveee your cats...just so gorgeous🐱🐱🐱

Hi! What is the first song you play in this video? I can’t find it on your list. Love you videos ❤️

Completely random question and I’m not sure if you’ll even see this - what do you ask for when you get your hair cut? I love the style of it and would love to get something similar 🤔

Looooove the suggestion for the reading board, I couldn’t quite catch the platform - what was it called? Thanks a million!

Love your energy! ❤ What are you writing about? 😊

I almost feel guilty watching your videos sometimes because it seems like you really don't enjoy making the food videos, but seem forced to keep making them due to follower demand. I'm never quite sure how to feel, despite loving (all of) your content so, so much! I just hope you also enjoy making it!

Reusable silicone baking sheets, my friend! Never worry about leaving them off your list again!

💞💞💞💘

Note to self: Choc tahini cookies

nina! you seem to be holding up well... what do you do for work? i'm looking for a change and really want a job where my imagination and vision aren't threatened by toxic work environment/overworking... any advise would be helpful.

You look so beautiful
