LITTLE TRIP TO CHELTENHAM :) - RECOVERY IS WORTH IT
Went on a lovely little girly trip with my mum. Had so much fun and ate lots of yummy food. If I didn't choose recovery I would have missed out on such a fun trip. Days like these show and prove recovery is SO worth it. This is your sign to recover so you can make many happy memories.

CHALLENGING NEW & DIFFERENT BREAKFASTS - ANOREXIA RECOVERY
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.3 года назад
I noticed I'd been stuck in a habit of having the same breakfasts every day which was what my eating disorder liked and approved of. But, this wasn't benefitting my recovery at all and was just quite boring, so I decided to challenge having different and new breakfasts every day to prove to myself that these foods weren't going to hurt me or change me. Nothing bad happened to me by having these...
LISTENING TO MY MENTAL & PHYSICAL HUNGER, BUFFET CHALLENGE - ANOREXIA RECOVERY
Просмотров 8663 года назад
I went away for a night at a hotel which involved quite a few challenges. I really challenged myself to listening to my mental and physical hunger, and I had a buffet style breakfast. It did make me feel very guilty but I just sat with it and rationalised it. I also distracted my brain by doing something fun with my family, as holidays are all about making memories and spending time with loved ...
TRYING NOT TO RESTRICT ON TRIP & DEALING WITH GUILT AFTER - ANOREXIA RECOVERY
Просмотров 5663 года назад
Hi everyone, hope you're all doing well. I went on a trip to Center Parcs at the weekend and I told myself I wasn't going to restrict at all. Not restricting really did make the trip so much better, but when I got home the guilt really kicked in. It's because usually after a trip away I would restrict to make up for everything I ate but I knew that that isn't real recovery. I tried my hardest n...
PUSHING MYSELF OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE - ANOREXIA RECOVERY
Просмотров 2,1 тыс.3 года назад
I challenged myself quite a lot this week, trying to push myself out of my comfort zone. The thing is you can't fully grow and recover if you're just staying in your comfort zone. You have to challenge yourself and the stupid ED thoughts so you can gain more control back over it instead of it having the control over you. It may feel really uncomfortable, but that's because you're a step closer ...
GETTING BACK ON TRACK AFTER A RELAPSE - ANOREXIA RECOVERY
Просмотров 2 тыс.3 года назад
Hey everyone! Unfortunately I fell into a relapse after the Easter holidays which made things very difficult and tiring. I came to terms with it in the end and told my parents, and decided to give them more control over my food. I need to get better if I want to go off to University. I am trying to get back on track at the moment, which I know will be hard, but giving in to my eating disorder w...
NOT LETTING MY ED RUIN MY TRIP AWAY & JOINING IN- ANOREXIA RECOVERY
Просмотров 4573 года назад
Hi everyone! I went away on a trip with my mum and had a lovely time. My ED tried to make me come up with all these ways to try restrict while I was away, but that isn't living properly. If I listened to my ED I wouldn't have enjoyed my trip, so I ignored my ED and fully got to enjoy the trip. I ate lots of amazing food and did lots of fun things. This is a sign to stop letting your ED stop you...

Happy Easter everyone! I hope everyone had a lovely day with lots of chocolate. I just wanted to let you know I am so proud of you for getting through the day, I know how hard it can be for people when events revolve around food. You are allowed to eat chocolate whenever you want, even when it is not Easter anymore. You also don't need to restrict today for what you ate yesterday, today is a ne...
BREAKING RESTRICTION HABITS - ANOREXIA RECOVERY
Просмотров 1,7 тыс.3 года назад
Hey everyone! I had been struggling a bit with falling back into bad restriction habits, so I told my parents who are helping me break them properly. It's been quite hard but I really hate this stupid habit and just want my life back. I challenged a lot of fear foods and food rules so I am very proud of myself for that. Hope you all have a good week. Instagram: lex.healing
EATING YOUR FEAR FOODS - ANOREXIA RECOVERY

Hi everyone! I ate lots of your fear foods this week to show you all that they didn't cause me any change, and that they are just foods and nothing scary. I didn't get through all of them and if you'd like me to do this again just let me know in the comments or on my instagram. Hope you all had a lovely weekend. Instagram: lex.healing
LOTS OF RECOVERY WINS, AFTERNOON TEA CHALLENGE - ANOREXIA RECOVERY
Просмотров 6183 года назад
Hope you enjoy the video. Had quite a nice weekend full of lots of little recovery wins, more baking and walking in the sunshine. I challenged myself by buying some different chocolate to eat and had an afternoon tea! I talk about the perception of 'good' and 'bad' foods, and why your eating disorder is a liar. I hope you all had a lovely weekend. Instagram: lex.healing

Did a little weekend vlog for you all. I attempted to bake a brain cake for my psychology homework but it kind of failed haha! I also challenged the same cake I had in my last video again, but this time to man at the stand gave me two slices! Finally, I decided to share some affirmations I had written down in case anyone needed to hear them. Lots of love to you all xx Instagram: lex.healing
VERY SCARY CHALLENGES, JOINING IN - ANOREXIA RECOVERY
Просмотров 7993 года назад
Over the weekend I really challenged myself and my eating disorder. I had a spontaneous slice of cake because I wanted to join in with my family, and my body wanted it (it was very yummy). I also had takeaway pizza and three cookies! It was scary and difficult, and left me really wanting to restrict, but I was not going to give into those urges. Recovery can sometimes be extremely uncomfortable...
GETTING OUT OF QUASI-RECOVERY, CHALLENGING FEAR FOODS - ANOREXIA RECOVERY
Просмотров 2,1 тыс.3 года назад
Hey everyone. I wanted to be very honest with you that I think I've been stuck in quasi-recovery lately and felt myself slowly relapsing so I reached out to my parents and am trying to challenge myself and fight my eating disorder properly. I think what triggered this was a lot of anxiety and stress but I'm so thankful my parents are supporting me. Also, my friends are being super supportive to...
ONLINE SCHOOL STRESS, DEALING WITH PERFECTIONISM & MINIMAL MOVEMENT - ANOREXIA RECOVERY

Things have been quite stressful lately with exams being cancelled, not knowing what the government will do next, being told I've still got to do mocks when I go back to school, online lessons being exhausting and not having enough energy or motivation for revision afterwards, and so much more. My perfectionist side has been making me feel guilty and like I'm not doing enough, but I know now th...

"mole" that's a beauty mark girl! So gorgeous I have one too <3
you are so beautiful
Hii
I totally relate to not being confident as a teenager/young adult and having trouble coping with death and stress. Those are things that played into my own ED.
Thank you for sharing, I’m dealing with this now ❤
That was very very good Thank you
I have just found your channel but I know I'm super late 😆 however I wanted to say I'm ready proud of you here...I'll be checking out your videos. Sooo...yea... proud of you for kicking butt. Amazing motivational chat too 🥊 😊 👏
Thank you for sharing. You are very beautiful and can be an inspiration to others, especially if you keep your weight on without any episodes of losing I'm also a former anorexic and feel very good being normal weight. You have a wonderful life ahead of you. Embrace your recovery.
Thank you for sharing. Not to be superficial but what struck me was how naturally beautiful you are. So alarmed to listen to how you were being bullied. Your beauty spot is unique to you (just think of the many people who put fake ones on their faces). Kids can be so mean. I’m sending strength and love.
You are such a pretty, wonderful girl. So sorry this happened to you. Eating disorders are a monster but you are stronger ! Kisses 🥰 xxx
your eyes are mesmerizing omg & your personality gives you the best glow
Guuurl you are killing it! If anyone is bloated I recommend eating lots more ice cream and other desserts in between naps. :3 Lol you are looking so much more happier, hopefully it ends up being a great week and an amazing first few weeks of college!
Ahh thank you so much!! ☺️☺️💕
Love the video!! 🙏🏼💖
Thank you so much!!💘💘
Your outfit, eye makeup, & jewelry look so nice/cute together!!! Clothes are a PAIN 😳 I hate shopping to this day.
Thank you!!! You’re so sweet💞💞 Yeah it can be so annoying sometimes
Your hair looks incredible!
Aww thank you!!🖤🖤
Oh yeah sorry everyone I forgot to put the recipes in the description but here they are if you fancy recreating any: Granola: - 2 cups oats (256g) - 1/3 cup almond butter (43g) - 1/3 cup maple syrup (43g) -1 tsp vanilla extract - 1 tsp cinnamon - 1/2 cup almonds + cashews (64g) - 1/2 cup sunflower seeds (64g) (add any other dried fruits / seeds / nuts you fancy) - preheat oven to 140 degrees fan oven and line baking tray with parchment paper. Mix almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla and cinnamon in large bowl. Fold in other ingredients until all covered and bake in oven for 20-25 minutes. Remove and let cool for 10 minutes before serving or storing Biscoff baked oats: - 1/2 cup oats - 1/2 cup milk - 1 banana - 1 tsp cinnamon - 1 tsp baking powder - 1 tsp vanilla biscoff spread -blend oats, milk, banana, cinnamon, baking powder and vanilla. Pour half into oven safe dish and add dollop of biscoff spread. Cover with rest of mixture and bake at 160 degrees fan oven for 20 minutes. Top with more biscoff spread and enjoy :)
Guuurl i'm so proud of you! :3 Can't wait till future where I come on and see a super happy chubby you showing us all kinds of amazing foods to make while I make notes! <3 Lol every looks great, i'm so happy you are trying so many things. I hope you are having an amazing July and you continue to spoil yourself silly!
Aww this makes me so happy to read. Thank you so much! Sending so much love to you and I hope you're having an amazing July too <3
Please share the granola recipe if you get a chance? One thing I want to eat is Bran Flakes, but I cant decide if it is too healthy too gain weight, or actually a sugary cereal, but am trying to learn myself that the fact I would like some is enough to have it. :-/
Yeah sure thing lovely. I've put the recipes in a pinned comment as I forgot to put it in the video description xx
You’re literally so cute! 😇 You are a QUEEN 👑 KEEP SMASHING IT 🙌🏼 we believe in you 💖
Omg thank you so much!! Sending so much love🥰💞💞
I really appreciate the advice in your videos, and this one had loads. I will need to write it down. I like the point that you can eat at home the same as on holiday, and listing the positive points of food that diet culture hates. I am defo gonna do that. Plus I loved your poster and you looked beautiful as you always do. x
Thank you so much! I’m so glad they help! I hate diet culture so much and how ingrained it is in society. Diet culture is usually wrong too, they just want to make profits off of people constantly, so don’t actually work so you keep coming back for more of it so they can keep making money. That why we’ve got to prove them wrong and rise up against it💕💕
im looking to do this swell this week, it can be so hard hearing all the time about diet culture . YOUDOYOU xx
Yeah but we will rise up against the horrible world of diet culture and prove it wrong! Xx💪🏻🤍
When I worked in y5 the kids did some graphs in maths as to popular breakfast foods. They were eating whatever they wanted and ranged from cold pizza to pancakes, to croissants, cereals, toast, bagels with all different spreads including Nutella and Biscoff. Some had cooked stuff like scrambled eggs on toast. Breakfast can be anything you want and nothing is unhealthy. If kids don't worry about this stuff, neither should we!!
This is so true! Thank you for sharing, it’s really helpful. 💗💗💗💗
@@alexandrabeeby2736 😘😘😘
Great to see you back and challenging yourself. Enjoying yummy breakfasts 🙌💪💕
Thank you so much! They were delicious☺️💞
Well done for all your mini ED victories and continuing to challenge yourself! Also loved the little book recommendations clip. Being able to concentrate and enjoy reading again was definitely a big recovery win for me. I enjoy horror as well and would highly recommend Stephen Kings books if you are wanting to conquer some big books. 😀
Thank you so much! Yes omg recovery has helped me concentrate on my reading too! I love Stephen King, I’ve read Carrie, Misery, Pet Cemetery and Night Shift💕
@@alexandrabeeby2736 Oooh, I really want to read Pet Cemetery! I'll definitely have to read it this summer. :-)
Thanks for including the book rec's. Really love you checked shirt too! I think making the the best of experiences means eat what you want not what the ED wants, Easier said than done though. :-/
No problem! Thanks so much!! Yes so true, the ED wants to ruin your life and make you feel miserable. Going against the ED can feel hard but it’s you getting a step closer to gaining your life and freedom back🤍🤍🤍
Love to see you rocking the new dress from a previous video! 💕
Aww thank you lovely💗💗
You are such an inspiration to me Alex, your strength and determination to recover is so admirable. You will fully recover, I believe in you!! The "fuck it" mindset is a great one to have. Also, your dad saying he'll "pummel" the kids into "submission" was fucking hilarious to me lmao. Anyways, hope you're having a great day, you deserve to be happy and remember feelings always pass. ❤️
Omg thank you so much!!!! That means so much to me. Haha yeah my dad got so cocky but then got absolutely thrashed by the other people😂😂. Hope you’re having a great day too! Sending all my love to you💕💕
Always breaks my heart seeing you cry! :'( I get like that too when I am anxious but never feel bad, you deserve to be happy!!! Don't even worry about people noticing your weight, its your body not theirs. I know when I finally find a girlfriend I am gonna make sure she is always happy and suuuper chubby from being spoiled so much! :3 I can't wait till you are finally able to put them demons in their place but till then i'll give as much support as you need and be the guy that will always encourage you to eat after you are done eating lol. You go grab a movie, some goodies, maybe even some bath bombs and make this night the best Wednesday night ever. :3
Aww this made me so happy to read. Thank you so much for all your support it honestly means so much to me😊😊🤍
You are smashing it! Think about all those memories you created. Keep in keeping on- you deserve it! BTW that place looks so peaceful.
Thank you so much!! Yes I’ve created lovely memories there and it’s so worth it in the end💗💗
will you link the dress from UO please <3

YOU ARE BLOODY INCREDIBLE AND GORGEOUS AND AMAZING AND STRONG AND INSPIRING AND WORTHY AND AN ABSOLUTE QUEEN ❤️❤️ #posivibes
Thank you so much!! This has made me so happy. Sending so much love❣️❣️
So proud of you!! I have anorexia too so I know how hard that must've been to you and I wish you the best
Thank you so much!! Recovery is hard but it’s al worth it in the end. Sending all my love and support :)
you're so stong and brave, you got this <3
Thank you lovely!! :D
This is really helpful in talking through how you deal with feelings, cos then I know what works to tackle them. The dress and your hair are so nice, and maybe use the oreo cake for a weekend treat ?
Yay! I’m so glad they help, I really want to help people and make them feel less alone. I think it’s so important to pick out those irrational thoughts and then rationalise them because eating disorders fill you with so many thoughts that aren’t even true. Also, thank you so much!!💜💜💜
You did great Love!!! ❤🤗
Thank you so much lovely!!💞💞
I just looked at some old videos and it turns out this channel turned a year old 7 days ago, happy 1 year anniversary of blogging your recovery! Hopefully you continue to stay strong and you packed your house with tons of goodies! I say you should try creating something awesome weekly like wrapping cheese around hotdogs and baking them in croissant bread! (We call them pigs in a blanket here lol.) By next year I can see you being a big foodie :3 till then its the little steps that count. Hope it ends up being a great week, eats lots and stay comfy!
Thank you so much!! Wow I didn’t even realise my channel turned a year old haha! I’m going away at the weekend so will hopefully get to have lots of yummy food. Wow, that sounds like such a good idea I might have to try that at some point. Hope you have a great day😊😊
Just found this while making researches on how to get better, you're doing amazing and that dress looks SO CUTE???!!! Thank you so much for all the advice, most of the things you've said really hit home! Have a good day 💕
Thank you so much!! I’m so happy you found my advice helpful! I really just want to help people struggling and not feel alone. Hope you have a lovely day too💗💗
You are way stronger than you realise. You are making the RIGHT decisions and giving control to someone else is the right thing to do. All my love to you xxxx
Thank you lovely, I really appreciate all your kindness! Sending so much love to you xxxx🤍🤍
I'm rooting for you so hard! I hope you continue to spoil yourself silly with lots of food and love because you deserve it! Never worry about getting chubby, fat is so beautiful and it makes the body so soft and helps keep you warm! :3 <3 I hope university is fun and we still gets lots of updates from you while you are there. Hope you have a wonderful night! (Also wow your voice is amazing, its so deep and mature sounding its insane!)
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your support. Hope you have a great day☺️☺️
Well done for recognising your signs of relapse and opening up to your parents, handing back the control. It was definitely the right thing to do!! So brave to admit that you don't trust yourself.... As you say, you're preparing for Uni now and also trying to concentrate at school. Your brain needs fuel to function, just as much as your heart, liver, lungs etc.... It's hard to think about everything that is happening internally when we look at the outside appearance of our bodies.... But calories /energy is needed for the Internal organs to function ❤️ You're so right about not valuing your worth based on what you weigh... You wouldn't judge anyone else as harshly as you judge yourself.... You definitely are worthy of recovery sweetie xxx Glad you allowed yourself to enjoy a Costa with your friends and have some fun with them, pushing anorexia out of the way!!! 🙌💪❤️ Keep going lovely, you can do this xxx
You’re so kind, thank you!! It really lifted a weight off my chest when telling my parents and giving them back more control. I know it might be uncomfortable but recovery can be uncomfortable because my ED doesn’t like it. But I want to be able to go to uni without people worrying about me, and my parents trusting me. I want my life back! I always appreciate your lovely support! Love you xxx💘💘💘
@@alexandrabeeby2736 aww bless you. That's definitely the right attitude to have, go girl ❤️❤️❤️🙌🙌🙌
Those ice creams looked sooo yummy!!!!!!! 🍦👌❤️💯
They were so good👌🏻😁
@@alexandrabeeby2736 ♥️♥️♥️
Lovely to see you get away on holiday. Cottage and location look lovely!! Seeing you join in with the food and eating out has made me so happy and proud of you.... You will have definitely made some good memories on this trip to look back on when you're 80!! Glad you had a good time, you deserve it, take care of yourself lovely xx
Aww thank you so much angel! It was honestly such a lovely time. The food was amazing and it just felt so lovely to finally go away somewhere again. Lots of love xxx💗💗
I'm so afraid of getting bald , I had anorexia too and iam in recovery now , I gained weight and I'm in a normal weight now but my hair falling doesn't stop, it is 2 months and half and still continue. Did I getting bald? I'm so scared
Thank you so much for these inspiring videos! Xx
Aww it’s ok! I’m so glad they help<3 xx
Well done for you, I also had anorexia for 4 months and know iam in recovery and my hair falling out in clumps and it's almost 2 months and half and still it falling out in clumps so I just want to ask for haw long your hair loss continues ?
Thank you! I’m sorry to hear about that. My hair did fall out quite a bit too but when I started recovery and fuelling myself properly my hair stopped falling out. I’m not quite sure how long it took to stop falling out but as long as you’re fuelling yourself properly it should improve
@@alexandrabeeby2736I hope mine stops too , thank you for replying
All the food looked delicious! Never had a hot cross bun before. 🤔
You really should try one. They are amazing! Especially the chocolate ones😁👌🏻
Glad you allowed yourself to enjoy some yummy Easter food and didn't restrict the following day. Good for you! Definitely allowed chocolate every day, Easter or not!!!! Mini eggs are my favourite! ❤️🙌😘
Thank you angel! Yes mini eggs are my favourite too!!😁🥰🤍
@@alexandrabeeby2736 😘😘😘
Your food looks so so yummy!! The ED voice was loud w me today too but I pushed through and had mini eggs n cake etc so well done for pushing yourself and talking about it rather than restricting💕
Yes! I’m so proud of you for pushing through and not listening to the ED voice! You’re amazing, keep fighting lovely. Also thanks so much💗💗💗
so so proud of you, you never fail to inspire me xxx
Aww yay I’m so glad it helped! So much love to you xxx<3
im in anorexia recovery and im in the same cycle of restricting
It can feel so difficult to break the cycle since it’s sort of like a routine but I found that planning unrestricted meals in advance with supervision along the way helped quite a bit. Keep fighting lovely! <3
