if you are overweight being anorexic will only help, not hurt you. Its only when you breach the healthy weight and go too deep into starving yourself that it can become a problem. Edit: Its incredible how obnoxiously obsessive and offensive people can get over something so minuscule as a totally logical statement albeit unconventional. What I was trying to get across with my comment was that an anorexic mentally- when you are in state of excess weight- would help you lose weight as long as you don't go too deep. A healthy person can refrain from eating for prolonged periods of time without much health risk as long as they keep hydrated and have body fat for fuel. I personally(and people I know) can go weeks without eating and experience health and mental benefits from it. The body is designed for prolonged caloric deficits and is optimized for running on body fat/ketones when in a fasted state. Fact is, when you are overweight being in a caloric deficit until you reach a normal BMI shouldn't be something a healthy person could die from non the less worry about. Quite the opposite it can prolong their life and help their mood. Do you honestly think that we are designed to eat 2000 calories every day? How exactly do you think bears sleep an entire winter without eating and still live to tell the tale every spring? How come certain aboriginal tribes only eat on rare occasions once or twice a week and still live fairly long? How come it fasting is proven by scientists the preferred state of the body? You tell me.
@@theeloquenteccentric8321 please educate yourself. This is so incorrect. Anorexia is a horrible disorder that takes over your brain,body and life. It doesn't matter if your overweight, healthy, or underweight.. it's bad for your health. As someone who stopped eating breakfast and lunch for a year to try to lose weight because I was over weight this is extremely rude to say!
@@theeloquenteccentric8321 anorexia does not help ANYONE. No matter your weight, it isn't simply a diet. They eat in amounts that wouldn't even provide suitable nutrition to a BABY because they've been told stuff like what you just said, and because of their "perfect" role models in the media. You don't just become anorexic, lose weight and then go back to eating a healthy amount. It stays with you for an extreme amount of time, haunting you and infecting your mind, taunting you. It is a lethal mental illness and you shouldn't be saying that it's fine for an overweight person to starve themselves. You should be ashamed, people have lost their lives to this and you're acting like its healthy
Omg you don’t understand seeing this comment is actually so helpful I’m doing better but seeing all the other comments was kinda triggering but urs makes me feel better like maybe I should keep going too..
Noooo please I’m begging you to eat more. 1/5 people with anorexia die. Starving yourself will weaken your heart and so many other things. Please eat more, your body needs it to survive. I’ve been through it and it’s hell. I know this comment wont do much but I beg you please. Recovery is hard but it’s always worth it. If you need anything reach out to me ok?
Me too I have a twin who compares herself to me I had an accident in a wheel chair now my twin I’m a 138 lbs what do you weigh what do you weigh she won’t shut up I have no peace at all sorry I’m just scared of what’s happening my actions this last week sorry
my brain: aight, here's what you're gonna do. you're gonna watch this video and trigger yourself and I'm not gonna tell you that you got triggered till you relapse
When her friend offered some of that cake that hurt because I feel so uncomfortable and scared eating infront of people or eating a full meal with people around I dont even eat Christmas breakfast anymore and my family forces food on me in the morning it angers me where I want to yell no and leave I only feel ok eating with my dad or brother
Is this how many cases of eating disorders start? At first I just went on a healthy diet, eating okay, just healthy, low calorie foods. Then I started eating less. Then counting calories obsessively. Then eating became stressful. I don't have anorexia, not yet, but I might have some form of ED. And I don't want to stop, I will though.
You don't need to be stick thin to have anorexia. I think that's where society has a lot to catch up on. People assume that you're only anorexic when you're stick thin and your body's barely able to keep you alive. I'm at what most would consider healthy weight and I'm anorexic.
@@transmogrifying hey, is this suppose to be an information comment, or...? I never mentioned needing to be stick thin. I'm not stick thin and I have undereaten, shown signs of ED, I don't want anorexia though. I agree with your point though, just a bit confused. I hope you recover ❤️
@@mhm77887 i guess it's more toward you saying "you don't have anorexia, at least not yet" i'm just trying to let people know that it's possible to be anorexic without being underweight. Anorexia's more about what you said, undereating, and i hope you get better too😄
I'm basically beginning to starve myself and I know I need to stop but I just can't. My brain convinces me that I have to eat tiny amounts on the occasions that I do eat, I'm also trying to stop counting calories but I simply can't.
its so sad that nobody is given attention to this piece of art. this video is basiclly telling my story except that i made myself throw up and harm myself as a punichment so i dont do it again.
i love this portrayal of an eating disorder, i relate to it a lot more than other films. in movies people with eating disorders are always thin and then they become severely underweight and whenever they purge it looks a lot less disgusting than it is. this is way more realistic, good job
Having an eating disorder IS LIKE Trying to fight a terminal illness and die at the same time I want to get well for my parents but the disease Progress's
you restrict for so long. when you do get the food you want, you eat until everything is gone and starve for days then binge then starve. it's a cycle.
hey, i’m here to tell you there is hope :) only 6 months ago i was in the depths of anorexia, it ruined everything, relationships, happiness, social life, just about anything you can think of my eating disorder ruined. but i made the right choice and reached out for help, and i’m now steady and happy in recovery:) my birthday is in 8 days and i’m going to eat cake and just enjoy life because i’m not letting calories control me anymore and neither should you. i promise you, there is a light at the end of this tunnel and i know you’ve heard that a million times and you don’t believe it but neither did i and now i’m here. i love you take care of yourself
@@longestname817 Just try to do something about it without putting yourself on a difficult position . Avoid thoughts and some unnecessary things that depress you . Find activities to kill your time. Eventually if you find a new schedule your life will be better even if you don t recover from your ed ... I am still bulimic but i found some things that i can do after 2years that can help me stop thinking about food and not binge eating even for 2to 3months.
This appears on my recommendations right on the day I failed with my recovery... It's always "I'm almost there" it's always just a little bit more, and just like that years have gone by
My daughter is about to graduate from RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) with a Bachelor's in the Fine Arts. She just had to do her final film, which was finished not long ago. It was mental health-related, too. I can so appreciate these small independent films and the filmmakers behind them! I am so proud to watch these films, knowing how much blood, sweat, and tears have gone into making them. Good work! ~A Proud RIT Parent :)
I’m so happy that people are finally able to address the problem of binge-eating after forcing a diet on yourself, and the fact that people with an ED aren’t always like- stick figures.
perfect representation of the binge-restrict cycle. everyone expects someone with ana to not binge, but very few times is that the case, and people with ana do purge, but it's part of their long-lasting restrict cycle unlike bulimia. this vid is honestly one of the most accurate representations of eds ive ever seen. good job.
I remember skipping breakfast and lunch and I only ate dinner never all of it, though even my parents noticed, I knew it hurt them for some reason i just snapped out of it and started binge eating but after that and having a kidney stone i've had trouble gaining weight not that i'm super skinny but i used to gain weight so much easier, I don't know if what I had could even be considered as anorexia but i can assure starving yourself is never good.
I cried while watching this. This the whole representation of my life during quarantine... Im obsess to loose weight that I got into this rabbit hole (binge-eating and throwing up) I wish I could cure this. It really affects my mental health 😟😞
I struggle with self image a lot. While I very thankfully do not have an eating disorder, I wish I could push myself to be better. Work out. Eat healthier. And yet I don’t have the energy to do it. An eating disorder is not the “pretty” mental disorder. It’s more than that. Much more. In media and in movies it’s portrayed as forcing yourself not to eat. It shows purging on food as eating a lot, running into the bathroom, and running out and being “pretty” and “slim” again. This shows the cold, hard truth of an eating disorder. It wraps around your mind and changes the way you view yourself and everything around you. It shows the dark side, or really what an eating disorder truly is. I hope any of you struggling with a disorder to get better, and I know it’s hard but you CAN heal. You are NEVER “too far gone”. You can heal and get better and I promise it’s not over yet. You have purpose. You are beautiful and amazing just the way you are. I love you, and hope you’re okay.
@Annie Strawbsie hey! I’m 14 and currently struggling with a ED and been in treatment for about 5 weeks now! We definitely can get through this together!!!!.
For anybody reading this, please remember that you are loved, and that your body deserves nourishment. I don't know what it's like to struggle with this illness, but please please please remember to take care of yourself. You don't need to obsess over calories. They will not kill you, they will not make you fat. You are beautiful in your natural state, and your body deserves your love. You deserve to be more than skin and bones. Skinny is not beautiful, It is unhealthy , so please, for your future self, get help.
stop being insensitive and educate yourself. the fact you don’t even know what it’s like to have anorexia and still consider giving this shitty advice is triggering and disgusting.
@@mollie-maiellmer6607 I'm really sorry this made you so angry. I have struggled with eating disorders before, just not anorexia. I'm not sure how this is insensitive or triggering in and of itself, especially when the video itself is about anorexia. It would be nice if you could explain to me why what I said was disgusting instead of just tearing me a new one. Clearly I wrote this with good intentions, so I don't see why you had to be so mean about it.
This is so real, thank you for creating this. Shining light on the reality of what someone goes through with an eating disorder. I’ve been dieting since I was 12, developed bulimia at 20 and still struggling at 25.
I never looked thin even when I starved for years, ate 1 piece of bread a day, drank a gallon of water to stay full, exercised for hours without eating. People loved how pale I was "porcelain skin". 45 kgs 5'5" my friends kept calling me chubby, I kept starving myself. I was never thin enough, until I crashed, I nearly died of severe anemia, prone to brain haemorrhage. It took me 3 years to be back to normal. My request to everyone going through this.. Please do not listen to anyone, prioritise yourself, have opinion of yourself through your eyes. My best friend was the one who fatshamed me, she'll never get it. And I don't care.
for everyone just know that even if you think you're all alone going through this, you're not, a lot of people care about you, even if it's just strangers on the internet ❤️ don't ever give up and I'm so proud of you for everything ❤️❤️
This is an amazing short!! Very accurate and realistic I could feel the pain of the binge and the immediate feeling to get it out of your body and start the cycle again 😖
i teared up so hard.. I know how she feels...I was in that same condition two years ago... my mom got worried about me not eating... it was so hard.. all for the sake to look pretty... now I don't really care anymore... I've learned to love myself... and I started to mix it.. eating both healthy and junky...i pray for people who are going through eating disorders ..I hope they make a break through ...and love themselves just the way they are ❤❤❤
Love this video. Been watching it for weeks now. Such an accurate representation of eating disorders. Do you have Instagram?? 💞 Love this. Keep up the good work 👏🏼
@@diarani6794 hey, sorry for the super late reply- but do you mind sharing it? I'd love to follow you on there!! You're super talented and to this day this is one of my favorite videos!
for everybody out there struggling: you can and deserve to recover! after 5 years of being sick and miserable, I've been in recovery for about 2 years now and it's the best decision I ever made! I still can't say I'm fully recovered, but I'm at a normal weight now, eating normal sizes of food and treating my body gently. life is so better now. you can do this. p.s. you don't need to have an eating disorder or to restrict to be thin, alright? having an ED means you're miserable and sad and sick, not that you'll get thin faster or discipline yourself better.
please don’t starve yourself. I’ve been through it. Weight gain is not a bad thing. Please I’m begging you to please try eating more. I know me saying eat doesn’t help at all, but consider recovery please. 1/5 people with anorexia die, it’s very dangerous. Please do not starve yourself. If you need to talk ever lmk
Don't do that. Your body is probably in calorie deficit. Please realize your body is doing autocanninalism right now. Your body is eating itself if you starve yourself. At some point if this continues you won't even be able to shower without risk of a heart attack. Please GO GET HELP. Life isn't a scale it's an experience.
@@asavelayoung7315 nonono!!!!!! Breakfast is the most important meal, as it's basically the fuel for your body, it's what keeps your body going NEVER skip breakfast
There's no point in starving yourself, because eating less food slows down your metabolism, which means you'd gain weight faster. Instead, eat more, but smartly, don't eat too much fat and oil and increase foods like vegetables, eggs and rice in your meals (or search up on google meal recipe that don't contain lots of fat). Doctors say that starving yourself is not important, what's important is excersize and eating smartly. Don't do this to yourself! It's not good for you, you'll be so fraile that you cant even bend down properly.
i have anorexia but no one will ever understand because i’m not as skinny as the typical standard for anorexia. my friends always ask why i don’t eat at school yet i stay so “healthy” little do they know
@@whathappensin_vegas Thank youuuu I am doing better because I’ve been spending less time at school due to lockdown but it’s still pretty bad at school also I’m sorry you relate to that because beauty standards and things are so toxic :(
it's so sad how i relate to this so much.. i cried a lot while watching this film because this basically represents how my daily life is.. it's tiring and i hope we all recover from this. :(
I’ve recently tried to get better. I’m eating more than 1000 calories now ( a forbidden number when I was starving myself. ) I could go days eating only upwards of 500 cals. It hurt to stand, I was so dizzy I felt like I was going to pass out and never wake up. I danced until my legs shook, I don’t think my body could take how much deficit I was in. Yet, I miss those days. I miss feeling light and boney, and whenever I felt dizzy, I felt like I was getting somewhere. I think I’m relapsing please don’t like this comment
It starts with you wanting to be healthier You start making healthier food choices and begin to exercise Everything is so great and you feel stronger Suddenly you feel like you could get way better results if you cut back on food a little bit and exercised for a bit longer You start achieving the little goals you set but you are never satisfied At some point you will be eating 200 calories a day and it would feel like a lot You start exercising for way longer, like 7 hours a day Once you start with the intense exercising it will stick with you for a long time Your longest exercising time will become your minimum and you would feel so guilty if you don't at least reach that minimum ~ That is how it was for me, I wish I had never fallen into that deep hole Eating disorders are really really terrible
I hope you're doing well now. I was very much the same this summer, only I actually ate 1000+kcal (easily 1300+ because of fruit season) and didn't exercise that long. But it was not enough (food) and too much (fatigue). I broke, my mind and body broke and fell into a binge. I don't think I'll ever have the relationship with food as I had a year ago
This is relatable on so many levels and looking at the comments, there are, unfortunately, crowds of people who are going through the same thing... First wanting to just get healthy, then spiralling into a toxic relationship with food. Undereating for a longer period of time and diving into binges. And just because I no longer restrict so much (learned that lesson), I'm not ready to eat intutively as I used to with a peace of mind. And I still find myself cutting calories more than I should. Which may have lead to a yesterday's binge, triggered by a stressful situation. Take care of your bodies and minds guys, love yourself enough to do it.
You know it’s hard. I’m a dancer, have been for 9 years now, I’m always comparing myself to the others. And at 12 you don’t rlly realize that your skipping meals or eating less. You realize your wait: 120lbs, I hate it, I’m not proud. You realize your size/proportions: waist 25, thighs 20. You realize the small things, the little details. You only think abt how everyone is 30 lbs less than you. And it’s hard when ppl ask why you don’t eat lunch, or breakfast. Or why you feel disgusting after eating a snack. Idk know if I have a problem, and idk why I’m so scared, but I am. I’m rlly scared rn, and idk why but I just am.😖 Edit: ok thx for the love, but I’m not 120lbs anymore, I’m around 116-117 (it changes throughout the day) idk why but I’m just adding that in. Also my waist, and thighs have almost gone down an inch kk.🥰🥰
I know it’s hard but please eat what you can, you are perfect the way you are Dont think otherwise you can do this, you may not take the words of a stranger but I’m sure you’ve got this
You're twelve? Ok, 120 for a twelve year old is a HEALTHY WEIGHT. If everyone your age is 30 lb less than you, they must be freaking dwarves otherwise they're underweight. Alright? 120 is the weight of a happy, healthy kid and I beg you don't feel bad about yourself. When I was 12 I was 120 lbs, and I was fine. I was perfectly fine. Please don't hate yourself, don't be scared. Everything will get better. Make sure you eat, you need food to grow and for your brain to develop properly. Just make sure you get sun and enough exercise. You don't need to be skinny. You need to be healthy. Do you understand? Don't worry. Everything will get better.
Eunice Yang -_- thx, it’s weird but when I eat, I feel like I did something wrong, and when I’m hungry I feel beautiful, and in control. But I’ll try, um ya thx it’s just hard sometimes🥰🥰✨✨✨✨✨
Watching this when you have anorexia binge eating type hits hard because all of this, is what I go through. The starving and/or purging, then bingeing, the guilt for bingeing, and then purging and/or starving. It's a cycle I can't stop and I kinda don't want to stop
To everyone who is struggling: I know that I have no idea how you feel but I love you and think you are beautiful, no matter how you look. There is always someone that can help you get better, you just have to look a little harder sometimes. To everyone doing better: Keep it up, I'm so proud of you, I love you and think you're beautiful :) To everyone: The people who truly love you will help you and stay with you through everything. If you don't have those people, remember that with time, they will come. Stay safe and stay strong.
Since everybody is saying theyre story i will tell mine: So im 12 and ive always been rlly skinny which was hard for me to gain weight but i was eating perfect and i was healthy since corona virus came back i was eating alot i love eating but at some point my own step mother said that i got a fat stomach and when her mother came over and visited she said i got fatter cheeks, since i was getting clothes out that didn't fit me and my stepmother was just surprised because she said im getting fat and i have been having those clothes for years and i told her well i have been having those clothes for years and my stepmom isn't i dontwant to sound rude but she isn't "fit" either she has been working out and stuff so i decided why not i have a perfect body just not a flat stomach and i got insecure about it looking the mirror all the time just starring of my stomach so i didn't decide to go on a diet but i saw a youtuber who said her secrets to having a flat stomach and eating everything she wanted i watched it and she said that she eats smaller meals so i only ate 3 meals per day max and i would try to eat smaller have a smaller plate of food every time i did and i started getting headacks and was tired cold my hair started falling out when i brushed it and i was hoping since eating smaller meals i would get a flat stomach and exercising well all of that i searched it up and i was getting almost all the symptoms of me being anorexic and i almost started crying and a few days later i started eating more and i don't get headache's anymore as much and my hairs isn't falling anymore but im still very insecure about my stomach i feel like im falling back in the track of getting a eating disorder today i ate chicken rice and veggies but my body wanted more food and i did but im still hungry and still want to eat but it pases away i still don't consider having a disorder im scared of considering that i had a eating disorder im not sure if i did also My dad started realizing that i was eating less. Dont ever let someones appearance about you ever get to you you are beautiful idc if ur chubby skinny anything you are unique nobody has the perfect body and if u think u do girl what are you doing here go have fun be yourself we are all unique in our own ways.
omg Awnn your amazing and it’s crazy how much confidence a person can loose just by one person saying something rude, people need to learn to stfu and keep it to there self ! And btw I hope you get better girl, any updates of what is happening? I’m here to listen
omg! u r sooo right! Im 13, i dont hv an ED but I do know some1 who has one, and guys its so hard to deal with one but thank you for sharing ur stories! Also we live in a society where every1 says being fat is bad and being skinny is good. But ppl r so much more than their how they look like. We have goals and can reach potential. Everyone is amazing and special in their own way. Thank u for sharing ur story, for ppl struggling with an ED just know that u r strong and although its so hard to keep in mind, remember that you are so much more than wat u look like
It is just... Feeling under control, feeling control over what you eat, knowing how many calories are you consuming and see them lower and lower everyday makes me feel so damn fine.
guys i understand some of you are making these comments to try to make it easier for you. please don’t normalize not eating enough this could actually kill y’all. start eating. if you feel like you can’t and it’s too hard because of the voices in ur head seek help i’m begging y’all.
Thank you for this i am a bit bigger than her been struggling for 17 yrs and because of that I've been told I don't have a problem this hit me in the heart I don' really binge its just regular meals at this point
I don’t suffer from an eating disorder but I found this so enlightening, informative & real. I really do hope you all stay safe & healthy and learn to love yourselves because you are STUNNING. you are VALID. this societal standard is stupid and fake. you are beautiful I promise
you know it’s getting bad again when you’re watching these type of videos again
This is exactly what I thought as soon as I played this video

@@mhm77887 i guess it's more toward you saying "you don't have anorexia, at least not yet" i'm just trying to let people know that it's possible to be anorexic without being underweight. Anorexia's more about what you said, undereating, and i hope you get better too😄
I'm basically beginning to starve myself and I know I need to stop but I just can't. My brain convinces me that I have to eat tiny amounts on the occasions that I do eat, I'm also trying to stop counting calories but I simply can't.
well it's a definitely a disordered mindset...
its so sad that nobody is given attention to this piece of art. this video is basiclly telling my story except that i made myself throw up and harm myself as a punichment so i dont do it again.
Hey if you want we can talk i have Instagram im_emmiy
You're not the only one. Stay safe
If you need help also text me if you want ig: @_jeonsabinna_
@@sabining14 aww ur all so sweet!
hey are you ok?
It just goes to show how serious an eating disorder can be and the damages it can do
i love this portrayal of an eating disorder, i relate to it a lot more than other films. in movies people with eating disorders are always thin and then they become severely underweight and whenever they purge it looks a lot less disgusting than it is. this is way more realistic, good job
I agree!! There may be a lot of suffering from anorexia but I do think bulimia is a much more hidden issue to be mentioned

gamingwithjaz i’m so sorry that you’re having to deal with that bub.. i’m sending you love and hoping that you can feel better about yourself soon
Don’t expose me like that hahaha :((((
Having an eating disorder
IS LIKE
Trying to fight a terminal illness and die at the same time
I want to get well for my parents but the disease
Progress's
reverse for me i want to loose weight for my parents but i wanna get better for me
Part of me wants my health and old life back, but the other part wants to lose weight, control, do whatever shit I want, and stay with this “friend.”
you restrict for so long. when you do get the food you want, you eat until everything is gone and starve for days then binge then starve.
it's a cycle.
fr its annoying because everytime i do that i gain like 5 pounds back
😓😔😭how can I end it.....
Exactly
Yuppideyupp
Hey if you want we can talk i have Instagram im_emmiy okay.
hey, i’m here to tell you there is hope :)
only 6 months ago i was in the depths of anorexia, it ruined everything, relationships, happiness, social life, just about anything you can think of my eating disorder ruined.
but i made the right choice and reached out for help, and i’m now steady and happy in recovery:)
my birthday is in 8 days and i’m going to eat cake and just enjoy life because i’m not letting calories control me anymore and neither should you.
i promise you, there is a light at the end of this tunnel and i know you’ve heard that a million times and you don’t believe it but neither did i and now i’m here.
i love you take care of yourself
I was anorexic ... Jumped on being bulimic , this really touched me
I’m so sorry :( I’m anorexic too
@@longestname817 Just try to do something about it without putting yourself on a difficult position . Avoid thoughts and some unnecessary things that depress you . Find activities to kill your time. Eventually if you find a new schedule your life will be better even if you don t recover from your ed ... I am still bulimic but i found some things that i can do after 2years that can help me stop thinking about food and not binge eating even for 2to 3months.
PsyQo Banes set a goal to become a 1000lbs freak like the hulk
Albin what
Albin are you saying I should be anorexic?
You know your not ok when you start wacthing these for motivation 😀
im so glad i dont have an eating disorder, that looks really sad :(
Your name and pfp is so cursed!😆
we clearly see it, kim..
beautiful acting and the music adds so much,,, i love it!
This appears on my recommendations right on the day I failed with my recovery...
It's always "I'm almost there" it's always just a little bit more, and just like that years have gone by
My daughter is about to graduate from RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) with a Bachelor's in the Fine Arts. She just had to do her final film, which was finished not long ago. It was mental health-related, too. I can so appreciate these small independent films and the filmmakers behind them! I am so proud to watch these films, knowing how much blood, sweat, and tears have gone into making them. Good work!
~A Proud RIT Parent :)
that is amazing!! i hope the project turned out well. agreed, these small independent films can be the most beautiful 🤍
I’m so happy that people are finally able to address the problem of binge-eating after forcing a diet on yourself, and the fact that people with an ED aren’t always like- stick figures.
it’s never ‘enough’
Who’s that guy on your pfp
@@_e_1657 he’s yoongi from bts!
I swear armys are everywhere i love it❤💜
perfect representation of the binge-restrict cycle. everyone expects someone with ana to not binge, but very few times is that the case, and people with ana do purge, but it's part of their long-lasting restrict cycle unlike bulimia. this vid is honestly one of the most accurate representations of eds ive ever seen. good job.
I remember skipping breakfast and lunch and I only ate dinner never all of it, though even my parents noticed, I knew it hurt them for some reason i just snapped out of it and started binge eating but after that and having a kidney stone i've had trouble gaining weight not that i'm super skinny but i used to gain weight so much easier, I don't know if what I had could even be considered as anorexia but i can assure starving yourself is never good.
i like the small detail of her wearing the white dress that she couldn’t fit into when she meets her friend
It's really nice to see nepalese raising awareness on ed I'm really surprised that was a really awesome work Nepali sisters keep on going ❤
I cried while watching this.
This the whole representation of my life during quarantine...
Im obsess to loose weight that I got into this rabbit hole (binge-eating and throwing up)
I wish I could cure this. It really affects my mental health 😟😞
Binge on things take up space in your stomach without a lot of calories, like raw veggies. Don't purge, it doesn't work and it destroys your teeth
@@annewithane7876 is it also a disorder when you do the same but without purging
@@someoneswig1263 binge? Yeah, binging is disordered. But it isn't as bad as binging and purging
Definitely seek help. I would talk to someone about it. You can work on it. It's up to you to make yourself better.
You know it’s bad when you watch these types of videos again and you can relate
I struggle with self image a lot. While I very thankfully do not have an eating disorder, I wish I could push myself to be better. Work out. Eat healthier. And yet I don’t have the energy to do it.
An eating disorder is not the “pretty” mental disorder. It’s more than that. Much more. In media and in movies it’s portrayed as forcing yourself not to eat. It shows purging on food as eating a lot, running into the bathroom, and running out and being “pretty” and “slim” again. This shows the cold, hard truth of an eating disorder. It wraps around your mind and changes the way you view yourself and everything around you. It shows the dark side, or really what an eating disorder truly is.
I hope any of you struggling with a disorder to get better, and I know it’s hard but you CAN heal. You are NEVER “too far gone”. You can heal and get better and I promise it’s not over yet. You have purpose. You are beautiful and amazing just the way you are. I love you, and hope you’re okay.
I'm tryna recover n ryt now I ate noodles 4bananas, 1apple, I chocolate, fried peanuts n chickpea 😌n I'm proud of myself
my binge eatin ass starts working out, skipping meals, and drinking water so i could drown in it when i relaise what i am doing
Is that a eating disorder? I though everyone did this
Me being 13 and already seeing a psychologist because of an eating disorder-
ok sis
Mijnjasjuuuhhhh
why’d you say “ok sis”
yeah I've been there.
@Annie Strawbsie hey! I’m 14 and currently struggling with a ED and been in treatment for about 5 weeks now! We definitely can get through this together!!!!.
same
It’s amazing how you put less well known signs of an ED. Like covering up skin (where she’s trying on dresses)
For anybody reading this, please remember that you are loved, and that your body deserves nourishment. I don't know what it's like to struggle with this illness, but please please please remember to take care of yourself. You don't need to obsess over calories. They will not kill you, they will not make you fat. You are beautiful in your natural state, and your body deserves your love. You deserve to be more than skin and bones. Skinny is not beautiful, It is unhealthy , so please, for your future self, get help.
stop being insensitive and educate yourself. the fact you don’t even know what it’s like to have anorexia and still consider giving this shitty advice is triggering and disgusting.
@@mollie-maiellmer6607 I'm really sorry this made you so angry. I have struggled with eating disorders before, just not anorexia. I'm not sure how this is insensitive or triggering in and of itself, especially when the video itself is about anorexia. It would be nice if you could explain to me why what I said was disgusting instead of just tearing me a new one. Clearly I wrote this with good intentions, so I don't see why you had to be so mean about it.
I was confused for a sec I thought she weighed 70lbs pounds I was like wat but yeah kg
We love how America measures temp and fricken weight differently from everyone else🤣🙈👏
Ostrumux AJ lol ikr 😂
In India it's kg lol
chiyo audio yeah
Everyday struggle
This is so real, thank you for creating this. Shining light on the reality of what someone goes through with an eating disorder.
I’ve been dieting since I was 12, developed bulimia at 20 and still struggling at 25.
I never looked thin even when I starved for years, ate 1 piece of bread a day, drank a gallon of water to stay full, exercised for hours without eating. People loved how pale I was "porcelain skin". 45 kgs 5'5" my friends kept calling me chubby, I kept starving myself. I was never thin enough, until I crashed, I nearly died of severe anemia, prone to brain haemorrhage. It took me 3 years to be back to normal.
My request to everyone going through this.. Please do not listen to anyone, prioritise yourself, have opinion of yourself through your eyes. My best friend was the one who fatshamed me, she'll never get it. And I don't care.
So accurate, makes me so sad, I wouldn't let my worst enemy go through it
i used to watch so many of these as a 8 year old, years later i have an ed. that aged well
Content and her act dope 👌
The best and realistic Short Film I have ever seen..good job.
Love the way you've portrayed this. Incredible! So proud of you❤
Lived this for 35 years. Very good short, actually.... brilliant.
Good short film!
To all of you who are suffering: It's possible to get better. I'm waiting for you on the other side. Keep going!
One of the bests i've seen, it really shows the truth about eating disorders
for everyone just know that even if you think you're all alone going through this, you're not, a lot of people care about you, even if it's just strangers on the internet ❤️ don't ever give up and I'm so proud of you for everything ❤️❤️
This is an amazing short!! Very accurate and realistic I could feel the pain of the binge and the immediate feeling to get it out of your body and start the cycle again 😖
This was actually really well done. You often see these mini-movies misrepresenting things but this is pretty much spot on. Thank you.
Wow nice diya.. Natural acting.. 😊 😊 😊 good luck
It's like watching my daily life, it brokes my heart how hard i try but i can't get over it
i teared up so hard.. I know how she feels...I was in that same condition two years ago... my mom got worried about me not eating... it was so hard.. all for the sake to look pretty... now I don't really care anymore... I've learned to love myself... and I started to mix it.. eating both healthy and junky...i pray for people who are going through eating disorders ..I hope they make a break through ...and love themselves just the way they are ❤❤❤
Why do I find films like these to be so comforting
This is a great video I used to watch this as an eating disorder trigger but now I use it to encourage me that recovery is worth it♡
Love this video. Been watching it for weeks now. Such an accurate representation of eating disorders.
Do you have Instagram?? 💞
Love this. Keep up the good work 👏🏼
Yes I do!
@@diarani6794 hey, sorry for the super late reply- but do you mind sharing it? I'd love to follow you on there!! You're super talented and to this day this is one of my favorite videos!
This is an excellent piece of cinematic work, as well as a realistic and poignant depiction. Thank you.
Exactly the same thing that happen in every girls lyf !! Hatsoff for this beautiful heart touching short film ! I loved it !
Thank you for this video.
I truly need this right now as im struggling to loose some weight.
Keep the inspiration and motivation coming.
Thank you
for everybody out there struggling: you can and deserve to recover! after 5 years of being sick and miserable, I've been in recovery for about 2 years now and it's the best decision I ever made! I still can't say I'm fully recovered, but I'm at a normal weight now, eating normal sizes of food and treating my body gently. life is so better now. you can do this.
p.s. you don't need to have an eating disorder or to restrict to be thin, alright? having an ED means you're miserable and sad and sick, not that you'll get thin faster or discipline yourself better.
This video is so deeply impactful--it deserves so many more views and so much more attention!!
You know it's returning when you start watching these again
Ramro lagyo!!!Acting pane natural cha there is no over acting!!! Best of luck for upcoming video’s!!! Future actress😍😍😍
I dont understand i eat like 1,500 a day an input you can live off of and I still gain like 2 pounds, its just easier to starve myself
please don’t starve yourself. I’ve been through it. Weight gain is not a bad thing. Please I’m begging you to please try eating more. I know me saying eat doesn’t help at all, but consider recovery please. 1/5 people with anorexia die, it’s very dangerous. Please do not starve yourself. If you need to talk ever lmk
Skip breakfast
Don't do that. Your body is probably in calorie deficit. Please realize your body is doing autocanninalism right now. Your body is eating itself if you starve yourself. At some point if this continues you won't even be able to shower without risk of a heart attack. Please GO GET HELP. Life isn't a scale it's an experience.
@@asavelayoung7315 nonono!!!!!! Breakfast is the most important meal, as it's basically the fuel for your body, it's what keeps your body going NEVER skip breakfast
There's no point in starving yourself, because eating less food slows down your metabolism, which means you'd gain weight faster. Instead, eat more, but smartly, don't eat too much fat and oil and increase foods like vegetables, eggs and rice in your meals (or search up on google meal recipe that don't contain lots of fat). Doctors say that starving yourself is not important, what's important is excersize and eating smartly. Don't do this to yourself! It's not good for you, you'll be so fraile that you cant even bend down properly.
Wow, really good! I read a book about this eating disorder and this movie really puts it together. A+ job
You did a beautiful job. I felt this very deeply. I hope recovery finds us all one day.
imagine having the courage to put the thinspo on the wall like that...
i have anorexia but no one will ever understand because i’m not as skinny as the typical standard for anorexia. my friends always ask why i don’t eat at school yet i stay so “healthy” little do they know
Omg this is actually one of the most relatable things I’ve ever seen, but I hope ur doing okay now since ur comment was from 4 months ago
@@whathappensin_vegas Thank youuuu I am doing better because I’ve been spending less time at school due to lockdown but it’s still pretty bad at school also I’m sorry you relate to that because beauty standards and things are so toxic :(
it's so sad how i relate to this so much.. i cried a lot while watching this film because this basically represents how my daily life is.. it's tiring and i hope we all recover from this. :(
this is so raw and real, it really hit me at the binge part
I’ve recently tried to get better. I’m eating more than 1000 calories now ( a forbidden number when I was starving myself. )
I could go days eating only upwards of 500 cals. It hurt to stand, I was so dizzy I felt like I was going to pass out and never wake up.
I danced until my legs shook, I don’t think my body could take how much deficit I was in.
Yet, I miss those days. I miss feeling light and boney, and whenever I felt dizzy, I felt like I was getting somewhere.
I think I’m relapsing
please don’t like this comment
Please don't.
I PROMISE you, i felt the exact same way, i didnt want to be better, but trust me, the feeling of hapiness after recovery is INCREDIBLE
You got this, I believe in you.
How was your day today?
same i love it
It starts with you wanting to be healthier
You start making healthier food choices and begin to exercise
Everything is so great and you feel stronger
Suddenly you feel like you could get way better results if you cut back on food a little bit and exercised for a bit longer
You start achieving the little goals you set but you are never satisfied
At some point you will be eating 200 calories a day and it would feel like a lot
You start exercising for way longer, like 7 hours a day
Once you start with the intense exercising it will stick with you for a long time
Your longest exercising time will become your minimum and you would feel so guilty if you don't at least reach that minimum
~
That is how it was for me, I wish I had never fallen into that deep hole
Eating disorders are really really terrible
I hope you're doing well now. I was very much the same this summer, only I actually ate 1000+kcal (easily 1300+ because of fruit season) and didn't exercise that long. But it was not enough (food) and too much (fatigue). I broke, my mind and body broke and fell into a binge. I don't think I'll ever have the relationship with food as I had a year ago
Wow. I absolutely loved the symbolism of the roses.
This is relatable on so many levels and looking at the comments, there are, unfortunately, crowds of people who are going through the same thing... First wanting to just get healthy, then spiralling into a toxic relationship with food. Undereating for a longer period of time and diving into binges. And just because I no longer restrict so much (learned that lesson), I'm not ready to eat intutively as I used to with a peace of mind. And I still find myself cutting calories more than I should. Which may have lead to a yesterday's binge, triggered by a stressful situation.
Take care of your bodies and minds guys, love yourself enough to do it.
You know it’s hard. I’m a dancer, have been for 9 years now, I’m always comparing myself to the others. And at 12 you don’t rlly realize that your skipping meals or eating less. You realize your wait: 120lbs, I hate it, I’m not proud. You realize your size/proportions: waist 25, thighs 20. You realize the small things, the little details. You only think abt how everyone is 30 lbs less than you. And it’s hard when ppl ask why you don’t eat lunch, or breakfast. Or why you feel disgusting after eating a snack. Idk know if I have a problem, and idk why I’m so scared, but I am. I’m rlly scared rn, and idk why but I just am.😖
Edit: ok thx for the love, but I’m not 120lbs anymore, I’m around 116-117 (it changes throughout the day) idk why but I’m just adding that in. Also my waist, and thighs have almost gone down an inch kk.🥰🥰
I know it’s hard but please eat what you can, you are perfect the way you are Dont think otherwise you can do this, you may not take the words of a stranger but I’m sure you’ve got this
You're twelve? Ok, 120 for a twelve year old is a HEALTHY WEIGHT. If everyone your age is 30 lb less than you, they must be freaking dwarves otherwise they're underweight. Alright? 120 is the weight of a happy, healthy kid and I beg you don't feel bad about yourself. When I was 12 I was 120 lbs, and I was fine. I was perfectly fine. Please don't hate yourself, don't be scared. Everything will get better. Make sure you eat, you need food to grow and for your brain to develop properly. Just make sure you get sun and enough exercise. You don't need to be skinny. You need to be healthy. Do you understand? Don't worry. Everything will get better.
Eunice Yang -_- thx, it’s weird but when I eat, I feel like I did something wrong, and when I’m hungry I feel beautiful, and in control. But I’ll try, um ya thx it’s just hard sometimes🥰🥰✨✨✨✨✨

i’m not sure why but lately i’ve been working on losing weight and i keep watching these videos and they make me want to lose even more weight
NO. You need to STAY HEALTHY. Skinny does NOT mean healthy. Your body deserves nourishment.
Not me every time i stand up getting dizzy
and that's on ✨low iron levels✨
Watching this when you have anorexia binge eating type hits hard because all of this, is what I go through. The starving and/or purging, then bingeing, the guilt for bingeing, and then purging and/or starving. It's a cycle I can't stop and I kinda don't want to stop
I relate to this on a personal level! It also makes me happy that you didn't potray them as skinny as a stick of ramen!
To everyone who is struggling: I know that I have no idea how you feel but I love you and think you are beautiful, no matter how you look. There is always someone that can help you get better, you just have to look a little harder sometimes.
To everyone doing better: Keep it up, I'm so proud of you, I love you and think you're beautiful :)
To everyone: The people who truly love you will help you and stay with you through everything. If you don't have those people, remember that with time, they will come. Stay safe and stay strong.
Since everybody is saying theyre story i will tell mine: So im 12 and ive always been rlly skinny which was hard for me to gain weight but i was eating perfect and i was healthy since corona virus came back i was eating alot i love eating but at some point my own step mother said that i got a fat stomach and when her mother came over and visited she said i got fatter cheeks, since i was getting clothes out that didn't fit me and my stepmother was just surprised because she said im getting fat and i have been having those clothes for years and i told her well i have been having those clothes for years and my stepmom isn't i dontwant to sound rude but she isn't "fit" either she has been working out and stuff so i decided why not i have a perfect body just not a flat stomach and i got insecure about it looking the mirror all the time just starring of my stomach so i didn't decide to go on a diet but i saw a youtuber who said her secrets to having a flat stomach and eating everything she wanted i watched it and she said that she eats smaller meals so i only ate 3 meals per day max and i would try to eat smaller have a smaller plate of food every time i did and i started getting headacks and was tired cold my hair started falling out when i brushed it and i was hoping since eating smaller meals i would get a flat stomach and exercising well all of that i searched it up and i was getting almost all the symptoms of me being anorexic and i almost started crying and a few days later i started eating more and i don't get headache's anymore as much and my hairs isn't falling anymore but im still very insecure about my stomach i feel like im falling back in the track of getting a eating disorder today i ate chicken rice and veggies but my body wanted more food and i did but im still hungry and still want to eat but it pases away i still don't consider having a disorder im scared of considering that i had a eating disorder im not sure if i did also My dad started realizing that i was eating less.
Dont ever let someones appearance about you ever get to you you are beautiful idc if ur chubby skinny anything you are unique nobody has the perfect body and if u think u do girl what are you doing here go have fun be yourself we are all unique in our own ways.

omg! u r sooo right! Im 13, i dont hv an ED but I do know some1 who has one, and guys its so hard to deal with one but thank you for sharing ur stories! Also we live in a society where every1 says being fat is bad and being skinny is good. But ppl r so much more than their how they look like. We have goals and can reach potential. Everyone is amazing and special in their own way. Thank u for sharing ur story, for ppl struggling with an ED just know that u r strong and although its so hard to keep in mind, remember that you are so much more than wat u look like
It is just... Feeling under control, feeling control over what you eat, knowing how many calories are you consuming and see them lower and lower everyday makes me feel so damn fine.
I love it this needs a waaay more of attention!!
bootiful
guys i understand some of you are making these comments to try to make it easier for you. please don’t normalize not eating enough this could actually kill y’all. start eating. if you feel like you can’t and it’s too hard because of the voices in ur head seek help i’m begging y’all.
