In reply to Chloe Elgar. Chloe, thank you so much!! I can only imagine all of the different emotions that must have come along with moving to Dubai-- I know how difficult it can be to move far away from loved ones and conquer a whole new city on your own, but there is also something so brilliantly wonderful about it!!! I am so thrilled to hear that you know you are where you need to be right now. What a wonderful feeling that is. SO looking forward to that epic Dubai TBV photo!!! You rock, and all of your support means the absolute world to me. Sending you tons of love! Xox

In reply to Sheila S. Sheila, I have made it very clear in every interview I have done and in every blog post I have written that veganism did not cause my eating disorder. Veganism triggered my eating disorder because of my specific personality and my specific genetics and biochemistry. Everyone is entirely different, and that is the message I am working to spread!! Restriction of any kind doesn't work for people like me with super extreme personalities, and that's all I am saying. Don't forget that the media will say whatever they want to say, but anyone can come straight to the blog or to any of my direct interviews for the truth.

In reply to Jenni. Jenni, thank you so much!!! I haven't had a chance to respond to many comments or emails yet, but I have to let you know that your comments have all been putting a HUGE smile on my face. You have been so wonderfully supportive and it certainly has not gone unnoticed. I really, really appreciate it. Especially the comment about me still having my IIN water bottle... perhaps my greatest (and most surprising!) accomplishment of 2014 thus far. SO excited to get down to LA and start planning some fun events down there. We've absolutely gotta connect. Sending you so much love and light!! Xox

Listen, I’ve been following your Instagram and have been subscribed to your blog for quite some time now, so I’ve seen everything you have been going through. But be careful about the messages you are sending out about a vegan diet. “How vegan lifestyle became an obsession.” Don’t you realize about all of the different perspectives there are in this world. Many people can be reading your story, let alone something on the news, and take it as a powerful negative connotation to a vegan diet. There is no positive message coming from your story about going non-vegan when you make it sound like a vegan diet can become obsessive. I understand completely how a vegan diet will not work for everyone, but it seems a lot like you are driving this message into the ground and it is coming off like a vegan lifestyle is all around negative, to put it simply. There are many people who can become obsessive with ANYTHING. It has nothing to do with what it is, it’s about that person’s personality and character. But its coming off that this is about veganism, and not your personal choices or character.

So happy for you Jordan! Welcome home to LA! New York sounds like it was such an incredible experience and one that really forced you into your true self. What an exciting place to be right now. I can most definitely associate with so many of the things that you have been going through. Moving to Dubai, for me, has been a scary, exhilarating, incredible, rewarding and amazing decision. Some days I miss home and friends/family but for the most, I know that I am where I need to be. Can’t wait to chat one day and stay connected. Once I get the chance to get an epic Dubai/TBV picture- you will be the first to receive it! 🙂 Lots of love beautiful xoxox

In reply to Whitney @ To Live & Diet i.

Thank you so much, love!! Couldn’t agree more that the haters are just an unfortunate side effect of something awesome– getting to share my story with as many people as possible! I can’t wait to meet in person… so excited to be there and get settled in. Can’t wait to be part of the awesome LA health scene! Xox

So excited to have you here in LA! Can’t wait to meet in person 🙂

Kudos to you on your brave “coming out” and the positive support you’ve gotten from many. And congrats on your GMA and Nightline segments! So cool.

Btw, any time you get any negative responses from the haters out there, remember how many people you’re helping by sharing your story. You’re an inspiration!!

In reply to Jessica Spinner.

Thank you so much, Jessica. I so appreciate your kind words and your understanding. Perhaps it was a sign that you started following along directly before my shift– my blog is about to undergo some major changes and I absolutely love having supportive, awesome readers to connect with!! Yay for being veg strong… I will always incorporate lots and lots of veggies from the earth into my diet. Sending you lots of love! Xox,
Jordan
