How to tackle fears and rules? You have to DO it.

- Wasn't sure about sharing this as:
1) I was coming down with a nasty cold so sound a bit nasally and look mega pasty in this wonderfully flattering November light haha!
2) My 'look at the lens not the screen' focus was a tad intense at times xD (I am still working on this!)
3) The kittens were constantly interrupting.
4) My phone was sat on a clock meaning you can hear ticking the entire way through.
But then I remembered that we are all friends here and the message is what matters so I apologise for the mild chaos, pasty-ness and constant ticking in the background, and I thank you all for being so supportive of my RUclips journey! Much love to you all xx

"short term discomfort for long term freedom" I love this so much!
Yes!! So many people ask me how I recovered and I always say that I feel bad, because my real anwswer is that, YOU JUST HAVE TO DO IT! You have to run into the fear and do the things that scare you most. I feel like we know what we need to do to recovery, we're just so scared. But once you face your fears everything gets better! Great message Emily, as always! Sending lots of love to you and the kittens 🤗🥰❤💕💕💕💕💕 oh and last night i had a cupcake for the second day in a row, and at first i got an ed niggle but then I knew that from challenging and repeating that's it's nothing to be scared of all. Trust the process - it works!
this video is amazing! the passion in your voice is so motivating, thankyou so much!
Literally watching this while eating pancakes at 449PM, was just gonna eat 2 small ones but I used up the batter bc I was actually super hungry and craving sweets. Btw I am in the late stages of recovery/even tell ppl I’m “recovered” but lately I’ve felt pressured to try to get abs. No thanks byeeee
Lol wondered where the ticking sound was. Thought I was being a bit crazy (more crazy) 🤪
Thank you for another helpful video Emily. Have a great weekend ❤️
I'd be binging all day everyday
Me too 😞
Does this apply to people who are just starting recovery from fully entrenched in their eating disorder? It just feels so overwhelming and almost so complicated when I am so trapped in the pits, depth and horror of anorexia. It is so hard to know where to even start with all this neural-wiring/opposite actions along with nutritional rehabilitation. Thanks for this video! :)
I so empathise Ashley. You need to start from where you are. I may be completely wrong but I think I struggle similarly and how I approach it is to, rather than hating myself and giving up because I can't 'just do' everything all at once immediately , start with thinking what is one thing I CAN do differently today that moves me towards the life I want to live? As you gradually build in more and more smal changes and 'just do these' then hopefully things gain momentum and at some stage bigger strides can be taken? I don't know. I'm sorry if I don't make sense. Sending you love xxx
Sorry...I think I've just repeated what Emily says in some ways. I think what I'm trying to say is do what you CAN do and this will maybe propel us into a position of being able to go more speedily and spontaneously. At early stages some planning and frame work can be essential but the 'just do it' still really helps when it comes to taking those planned steps that in the moment feel overwhelming and too much? Xxx
Thanks so much for replying! That makes sense 💕
Can i ask for something? It but it might trigger someone, because I'd like to talk about my looping thoughts about food today.
Today is a day where nothing is right.
I had protein banana oat pancakes with peanut butter
a wrap for lunch with lots of beans
Snacked on 'a bunch of stuff' (veggies tho)
I just had the wrap because I was on the go, now for dinner I planned to have a warming comfy soup with maybe noodles. Now because of what I already ate I'm thinking of rice, because of "bad food" a and b I already had today.
I'm just too tired and exhausted and the thoughts are driving me nuts.
And I know you said I have to do it but it kinda feels like, why even bother
I would eat what you really want most, that shuts my ed thoughts up the fastest. Just eat the foods you really want and not what you think you "should" eat
I’ve had a relapse and I never did the whole “have whatever I think of”. I did eventually and it was still occasionally but now it feels so impossible. I just feel like me and ED are shaking hands and I’m still not having those things I enjoy like a big bowl of cereal tonight after dinner. I want to do it so bad but it feels impossible. I don’t wanna relapse again, I wanna feel good in my body. Today my friend said I look unwell and it makes me so angry because I want to be better. I don’t know if it’s because I want someone to just push me and tell me to do it because I feel like it’s impossible to do it myself, I don’t know. This is such a ramble. I just don’t know where to start. My mum is helping by serving food and making sure I eat but I know I am still freezing and tired all the time. I just don’t know. It feels so so hard.
Guess who’s just asked mum to make some cereal, me :) I really dont wanna look ill anymore. I don’t want to be cold. It will be hard but one step at a time.
How incredibly brave of you! You can do it!
