Lots of people don't understand that this condition is not just about eating but a very complicated number of problems which surface as an eating disorder . You explain it very well and i hope someone will find this and get a better understanding of what is going on underneath . Thank you
So brave doing a video, thankyou 🙏🏻 I’m 46 and have struggled since I was 16, I understand the struggle but I always have hope and try and never give up. Nice to have some insight into your journey and makes me not feel so alone x
So proud of u . I am an adult 44 struggling since age i with anorexia and bulimia . On the 26 Aug I will get my whole colon removed . It is scarey U offer me hope . I do my best to avoid hospitals because of my cptsd as well. Thank u so much for helping me feel less alone. .❤from nyc nyc
@@sugaaas I promise you, you are never alone. That's one of the things I want to make sure people know - we're all out there and this needs to be talked about more, and I will always be here if you need me. Xxxx
@@lovelylight80 oh sweetheart, I'm so sorry you have to lose your colon. That would be so, so difficult to deal with. Please do let me know how it goes. Message me @ange_miniarts. Please take care of yourself, for you are important. I lost my teeth but I am lucky, as are you, that we still have our lives. Much love ❤️ xx
So good to see you sweetie. I am proud of you for working on the good things about recovering. This post was great and you are in a good mind space. Sending you love and hugs.
@@KristyThomas-px3xu thank you. I just don't want anyone to get their hopes up. It's still feeling pretty uncertain and scary. But I'm trying. Much love ❤️ xx
I love your vulnerability & honesty. Things are going to get better. Find your own pace through the entire process. It's very hard but I think what's important is to strengthen your mentality right now (which you have already done and is doing). So proud, just so proud of you.
So proud of you for considering recovering somewhat from this awful disorder. I’m 58 and had it since I was 13 also. I’m going into an eating disorder unit tomorrow here in Australia to give it once last chance at a better quality of life. Shitting myself but all I can do is try as I’ve been medically unstable, have upper dentures as well so don’t know I’ll go. Some support would be welcomed 🥰❤️
@louisebruce1863 I'm praying for you and you have all of my support. I think you will be fine once you settle in, but I do understand how overwhelming it can be when you go in. Praying big for you that it all goes well and you can recover. You deserve better, and so do I. Much love xxx
It's lovely to see you , its sooo good you are home . Its not easy but a day at a time you can live . ' recovery ' is personal and it looks different for everybody . What matters is gettin to a place where you feel ' peace ' and wellness . I have been in this a long time and now my eating disorder live some kind of life together ? ! I would like more ' freedom ' too but it is so ingrained these thoughts and beliefs now . A therapist can make a huge difference to address emotions . It is a complex issue , so hard to explain , can make me lonely . I need a support group now not eating disorder intervention , sometimes focusing on food makes me worse ! X 😊
@karenblack4702 I totally agree about no more eating disorder programs. Have you thought of getting a coach too? I am finding it helpful. I'm here if you want company. @ange_miniarts on Instagram. Xxx
You are looking so good and beautiful. So happy for you. I'm sure your daughter is over the moon to have you back home. One Dr I had had me write letters to my anorexia. In the letters I could yell at it, cry at it and even love it. She told me to write to it as if it were a real person. And anyone who's had anorexia knows that it seems like there is a person in your head. I could write to it to tell it what I liked about it, but also what I hated about it. And she told me it was just for my eyes only unless I wanted to share parts with her. My anorexia started when I was 11 and I'm 53 now. So I've got binders filled with letters to anorexia. I never did share any of it but it sure made me feel a little better knowing that on days I hated it I could just yell at it in a letter. And on days I embraced anorexia I could write it a sort of love letter. It sounds weird but I found that writing everything down in letter format allowed me to say/write things that I would never say to my family or therapists. Just an idea.
Yes, what a wonderful idea! I think it's fantastic! I'm sorry you have suffered this so long. Journalling is helpful in a similar way. I am praying the disorder will set you free xxxx
I remember being extremely thirsty. I'm so glad you are out of the hospital. Keep up with the meal plan. And you don't look like you have gained. I love you dearly 💗
@@followerofchrist198 It's because I have had anorexia most of my life. I lost my teeth due to not enough nutrients. I got the dentures 4 months ago appropriately.
@@ababy6074 thank you for explaining. I have osteoporosis as a result of having low weight for 18 years and I do wonder if my teeth will eventually fall out. My receding gums look awful.
@followerofchrist198 if you ever need support, I am here for you. If you do lose your teeth, know you are not alone. If you ever want to tall, message me at @ange_miniarts. This is an incredibly difficult journey and we need each other. Xxxx
@@ababy6074 oh bless you this means a lot to me as there are few people I can talk to about this without them panicking. I’m not sure how to DM on here. Are you on Facebook messenger by any chance?
So nice to hear you did so well and that your teeth adjustment was successful, and that you're feeling like moving towards recovery wowee! What it's like to not fear food is not really like anything, that's probably why you don't remember as well as it being so long ago, no thought about it occurs. I think most women consider looks and weight to some degree, but not like this so its just taken for granted. But maybe you wouldn't take it for granted because you've been sick and you've suffered, maybe you'd really notice so much of a difference in how you feel physically and mentally and appreciate it and feel truly alive, energized, and free, maybe you'd take a minute to stop in the middle of the day for no real reason, smile beaming across your face and just think.. I am so comfortable, this is fantastic 🙂
Maybe try to have new goals for how you want to look that's healthier. Like aim to look bigger or have more fat in certain areas. Or try to avoid things that trigger dysphoria like avoid weighing and mirrors
It's because our cells hold a certain amount of water inside of them, between them (both of these are done internally by our bodies), and outside of them (this is done by what we drink in a day) and when we are starving ourselves the amount of water that our cells have shrinks in all three areas... If we then chugged a bunch of water, it could literally kill us because all the water needs to be at the same levels for our cells...

Hope you are okay x ❤
@karenblack4702 hi there! Yes I'm doing fine. Not to worry, I'm sure you will get Instagram sorted. I'm also on Facebook as Ange Elizabeth so feel free to message me there. Yes getting some creativity going! Can you show me what you make? I'd love to see!
Yeah, I've never done one before because some people find them triggering and stuff, and before hospital I quite honestly, didn't eat anything at all. But now that I eat I suppose I could do one, but I don't like people watching me eat, so I probably wouldn't film that.
@@ababy6074 ok I just see from some others that they found it really helpful doing what I eat in a days to help them focus on eating more and larger sizes :)
@@ababy6074 you could also do it for yourself and not show anyone else and just show the food or a pic of the food to help. I have done pics of food in the past and find it helps me eat healthy
@@ababy6074 thanks for replying to this , I suspect I will end up with dentures (mostly due to my bulmia) it terrifies me , already lost 4 teeth tho and a ton of dental work 😢

People shouldn’t comment on anyone else’s body…..unless they’re on fire! Other than that, people need to keep comments to themselves.
