helo friends!! this is a spontaneous 'what I eat in a day', and also some journalling prompts for September reflection / October goals!! hopefully in the future (if anyone enjoys this type of video and wants to see more like it) I will have some more well thought out recipes + actually do something more creative than... avocado toast... lol
reminder that the most important thing at the end of the day is that you're being kind to yourself ! eating nutritious foods will help you feel better, but if you're constantly being negative towards yourself + your body in your mind, no amount of vegetables will make you truly healthy. be good to yourselves ! 🫶🏻
