Maddie, this was incredible to watch. You are such a strong and resilient person with a great sense of humor. I have been really struggling with my ED lately, and I haven't been doing what I need to do in order to make progress in my recovery. This has motivated me to get back to my recovery plan and start challenging myself again. Getting out into nature has helped me too. For people with EDs, anything that can get you out of your head and into the present moment is essential. Please do something fun and relaxing this weekend because you truly deserve it. Love to you and Fig ❤️ 🐰
Aww thanks Dorothy! It's so true, getting out of your head is really helpful. I'm sorry to hear things have been a bit rough for you, but as you say, you just gotta get back on the horse and keep fighting! 💪 You got this and I'm here for you ❤️ Keep going! Love back to you from Fig and I 🐰
Aww Maddie you are doing so well with your challenges, please do not feel guilty. Getting out for a walk in nature is great for our mental health. I love going for long walks. The forest where you live looks beautiful. OMG a snake, I would freak out if I saw a snake! I enjoyed watching you do yoga, you are so talented! Reading the comments on your channel show how motivational you are to a lot of people. Soon you will be on the other side of your recovery. 👍👍 x
Thank you Dianne! My intention with this channel really is to help others, so interacting through comments is really beneficial. Thankfully I am not that afraid of snakes haha. My biggest fear, honestly, are lobsters 😂 I am terrified haha I appreciate your comments as always and hope you have a great week. ❤️
You should be so proud of yourself. You've been facing your fears and making so many accomplishments. You truly are an inspiration. I love your videos, I see so much of myself in you. You give me such inspiration. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you so much, Lisa! I really appreciate that and it means a lot to me. Thank you as well for all of your support 😊❤️ Have a great rest of the week!
Hi madie, eating disorder is sucks .It's hard to try fear food but you're very good at it and you're strong. Also, your videos are inspiring for me. For example, with this video I watched during my dinner, I can tried my fear food. You have helped yourself and me a lot with your strong stance on this difficult road. There are continents and even oceans between us, and life somehow helped me find your account. this should be a sign :) thanks again, looking forward to your next video
Eating disorders 100% suck... But recovery does make you stronger and it's important to continue to fight! I am glad that you are able to find comfort through my videos and that I can help. That in return helps me :) It is great to have RUclips as a platform to connect across the world and provide us with access to interact with one another. Stay strong and keep fighting 💪 You got this ❤️
I can't walk and am in severe constant pain, and you are a real inspiration to me to persevere and keep on going.i think you're doing a great job of facing and overcoming your fears- and I loved your yoga! 🦋🌈💜
I am sorry to hear that you are in pain, but if it's because of recovery-related bloating, discomfort etc. Just know that it does eventually go away... you just need to keep fighting. I am glad that my videos can inspire you to persevere. Stay strong 💪
You are so strong and inspiring !! Thank you for posting your wonderfully relatable videos, they help me so much and your bright personality always makes me laugh (in a good way of course !) Keeep goooiiiing, fighting ! Sending you love from Paris, France and its croissants 🥐
Your video made me get up and make dinner (I was going to miss it). Watching you face your fears made me realise that I am not the only person who finds it hards, and seeing this video gave me the strength to attempt it too. Thank you. Also I love your random interludes whether it is about snails, shoes or debating on where to wait for the delivery guy to drop off the food.
I am SO proud of you! It’s hard to face your fears, but the more you do it, the easier it gets. Glad to hear you Luke my interludes 😂 Sometimes I worry that people only want to hear about ED stuff, but I don’t always want to focus on that. Glad I could help. Stay strong - you got this 💪
Hey, well done! You had a hard day (fighting with anyone is difficult, but especially with a flat mate you have to see all the time can be especially hard) and you still kept going and fighting! That's incredibly brave and strong! I dont have an ED (but struggle in other ways) but I still find it really motivating to see someone face their fears as much as you do and I am thinking to myself, that I could do it as well. Also- I read this comment on another video and I second this, that maybe I would be a nice challenge to only speek positively (or even in a more neutral way) about yourself for a while, a day or maybe a week. I guess its a hard 'habit' to break, so maybe even having a rule when you say something bad about yourself, you have to follow up with two good things about yourself. But anyway, thats just a suggestion :) And I dont mean "bad" in the sense that you're sharing the things or thoughts you're struggling with, but more so the little mean comments. I dont want you to think you always have to be positive, I really think toxic positivity is a thing, but positive self talk can do a lot. But anyway, well done and keep going :)
Anna, thank you, I appreciate the thoughtful comment and you are right. It would definitely be a challenge to only speak nicely to myself. I find that whenever I am in a bad mood, I am more likely to be critical of myself but should be more cautious of this. It's hard to face fears but the support of everyone is incredibly helpful. ❤️ Thanks again, and I hope you have a great week. ☺️
@@maddiejaneec I totally understand and I think that to some degree it might even be normal, even though still harmful. And to me at least it feels very weird and forced to say positive things to myself even though I dont believe them at all and kind of over the top to be standing in front of the mirror and saying overly nice things. But I found that with time it felt more natural and uplifting. Also it doesnt have to be body focussed at all, sometimes I just tell myself that even though I felt like shit that day I still tried to be nice to someone, so I cant be that bad of a person or that I really value friendships and try to be a good friend, so thats also a win, me trying to live according to my own values. ( And that it is also okay to just fuck up and not be nice sometimes.) Just some thoughts, sorry for rambling.
@@MinkaSweetie No worries about rambling, I love interacting with you all ❤️ I totally get it about forced positivity but you're right in that it can slowly start to feel more natural. Being nice to others definitely helps to feel better overall as well. Take care ❤️
I was the one who mentioned this on previous video… this was incredibly hard for me to learn how to do… accepting compliments was also a major struggle…
The way you speak to yourself matters. It’s something I’ve noticed, the language you use about yourself is often quite negative. I’m not trying to bring you down but rather give you a suggestion to try and change the language you use when you speak about yourself in your mind. We believe the stories we tell ourselves. It’s ok to be sad, scared, angry 👍 be those things without being mean to yourself at the same time. Ps when you said you looked like crap I was literally just thinking how glowing and beautiful you are, your hair is gorgeous! PPS I ate two croissants yesterday, inspired by you. They were nommy, thanks 😊 I’m not sure what a jelly belly is? If it’s jelly bean, then definitely orange 🍊👍
I know I need to work on speaking to myself in a more positive way, because you're right in that it does matter. I have been trying to be more nice to myself, but find that when I am anxious I am often a mean person as well. I appreciate the lovely comment though! Recovery has done great things for my hair 😂 And YES! Croissants are amazing! A jelly belly is a type of jelly bean, and I like orange too ✌️❤️
Maddie, I think this one was a really hard challenge, you're pushing the ED and I'm glad to say you had a victory! I am also so proud of you, and it's nice that you acknowledge yourself of all the things you're overcoming, step by step. Thanks for sharing all the animals you see in your walk. I enjoyed you doing yoga too! I didn't know you're a certified yoga teacher, congrats!! We are all gonna make it Maddie!! Blessings to you and little Fig!
We ARE all gonna make it! It's is fun to focus on some things other than the ED from time to time, and I like sharing the different animals I see 😂 Thank you for the support as always and I hope you enjoy your weekend! Blessings back to you from Fig and I ❤️
@@maddiejaneec Thank you Maddie! I am off to my yoga class now. I hope you enjoy your lovely new shoes taking your walks. You are amazing, enjoy your weekend too!!
You are worth it!!!! I don’t like jelly belly’s… but I used to… my favorite was the orange creamsicle… oh by the way… you aren’t normal! You are great!!!! You are exceptional and wonderful and maybe even weird… but you are anything but normal!!! ❤️
Maddy, I can hopefully comfort you in saying that the dinner was perfectly adequate. I was so happy, when you decided to have the cake because you weren't full yet. You are doing so well by pushing through these fears!
I so much (!!!) hope, you have good „real“ people in your life to support you. Well done, Maggie! You did awesome - me, after a whole milka chocolate. Totally normal. Or maybe not? Who decides, what is normal???
Is challenging unhealthy fear foods (like chips, cake, cookies, etc.) necessary in order to recover? Because I haven’t, but I don’t want or desire to eat those foods. Like, I just don’t crave them.
Extreme hunger is your body noticing that you're eating normally now so that it WANTS to burn more calories which is why you feel hungrier than usually 😊 Our bodies are constructed in a way where in a calorie surplus they DON'T WANT to put on extra fat. They will simply burn more as long as the food isn't as processed 😇
You're right, the body knows what it wants and it's important to honour your hunger. I guess it's just scary when you feel like you have eaten so much and you are still hungry... but I also need to remind myself that I am healing and it's okay to have mixed signals. Thank you for the support, Celina, as always. ☺️❤️ Take care!
Hiii dear maddie!!!! ❤ Yayyyy u did it! I waited for this vidieo all weekkk🙈🙈🙈 Miss u till next time! Thank u for amazingg channel , muuuahh❤❤❤❤ sending love from far little Israel😊 Btw i ated hamburger and fried yesterday and im prowd of myself! Xoxo💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Yay! So proud of you!!! That's amazing! I am so grateful for your comments and am here, in Canada, cheering you on! ☺️💪 Keep fighting you are doing great!
Can u not exercise for a day? Just one day? I know you can do it if you really try… it was one of the hardest things I had to overcome… but it is so helpful… and I mean all exercise… walking and yoga too…
I definitely want to try... Exercise is probably my hardest obstacle right now. I have decreased it a lot, but I know it is still causing me a lot of issues. Perhaps it could be a good challenge video! But honestly, I think THAT would be my hardest challenge. I guess that mean's I gotta do it.... 😂
I believe in you!!!! You can do it… I had the biggest fear of not exercising… even for one day… then I got really sick (pneumonia) and literally couldn’t get up… I had to take a day off… and guess what??? I didn’t blow up like a blimp!!! I now take almost every other day off from rigorous exercise… and I’m ok with it… I actually love my off days… I know if I could do it so can you.😊

@@emilybilbow4990 Accepting compliments is totally a huge struggle... Learning to say "Thank you" instead of countering nice things people are saying.
You are working so hard and I'm so proud of you for doing this. ❤️ That pie looked delicious!
Thanks Jasmine! I appreciate the support! And it was delicious ☺️
There's a quote that says "Don't waste 90% of your life just to way 10% less." Keep going, you're on the right track 💗
I have seen that quote before, it's one of my favourites too because it's so true! Thank you for reminding me of it ❤️
I'm so grateful you made this video! Thank you!
So glad to hear that, thank YOU! ❤️☺️
An enormous thank you for pushing through from all of us.
Awww thank you 😊❤️
