    Getting rid of clothes that didn't fit me anymore was not only therapeutic but really exciting. There was a time where I couldn't wear adult sizes and a lot of my clothes made me feel like a child as a result. It's an opportunity to recreate your image if you want to or just figure out what styles make you feel good which is the most important thing ❤️

    I’ve always kept my clothes from when I was at my lowest for when I “lose the weight again” but I realized that was the Ed voice in my head. I finally decided to throw them out and get new clothes. instead I’m learning to embrace it and you’ve helped a ton

    I love how real this video was. I resonated when you said anorexia in part was wanting a 'flat' body. For me I realise now this was pushing the truth that deep down I'm non binary rather than a woman. It's a mind fuck with recovery...gaining weight has lead me to search for other ways to stay flat- this for me is chest binders, and heck they're expensive, uncomfortable and most days a trigger to the ED. The process of weight gain in recovery in so unique, thank you for sharing yours.

      @aname4700 Год назад +3

      Sorry for all this text but I see myself reflected in you a lot.
      I hope you heal and overcome your internalized misogyny. I've seen many many women (myself included) suffering from eating disorders and also falling into the whole "I don't want to be a woman/ I don't want to be perceived as a woman/ I'm a boy / I'm non-binary/ I want to chop my boobs off" thing. They are two worlds that overlap a lot. And there's a reason for that. Let me tell you after years of battling, they're both mechanisms of self-harm and self-hatred, especially for women. It took me too long to realize I hated my body because in reality, I hated the pain that comes from inhabiting a female body in this world. That's why I hyperfixated on things like my breasts, since they visibly marked me as a woman, and because I hated how society hypersexualized them, how men ogled at them, how they made me feel like an object, etc. I wanted to be flat, flat as when I was a kid and none of the dangers of womanhood had touched me yet. Flat as a boy, so free. But mutilating your body will never achieve that, you have to learn to love yourself just as you are
      It took me a lot of reflection to realize that what I truly wanted was freedom from misogyny, that my body was not my enemy (my body is me, I'm my body, we're one and the same), and that falling into the trans identity was just a continuation of my eating disorder

    • @AnnaHasNoMiddleName
      @AnnaHasNoMiddleName Год назад +18

      @@aname4700 I'm sorry that has been your experience. However it seems presumptuous to assume non-binary an expression of internalised mysogyny, that's certainly not the case. Society is built on patriarchal structures with deep mysogyny running throughout but no, through years of therapy and healing, I can separate my sex from the ED which is rooted in trauma. The LGBTQ society has far higher rates of developing eating disorders but research can't pinpoint the cause. Our sex - returning to queerness / non-binary is not self-harm, that's self-acceptance AFTER years of self-harm.

    Weight gain in bulimia recovery was so hard. I love the quote about making your clothes fit you. Also, my treatment team set me a bmi target that I’ll never get to because my set point doesn’t lie there when I’m eating and exercising intuitively. I need to stop restricting when I’m experiencing emotions that I deem to be negative though. I remember the moment I felt proud of my weight gain that I did on my own so clearly. My parents haven’t really supported me through recovery so far, because they won’t stop dieting, but go me for choosing recovery anyway.

    Not eating disorder recovery, but post partum depression recovery. I had to get rid of almost all of the clothes and I felt like such a failure for not fitting in them. I have learned to accept that bringing life into the world comes with many sacrifices, including sleep, my body, my space, and my routine. It’s still hard sometimes but other times I get amazingly happy about how phenomenal my work is, and how much I love them.

It's been a struggle to come to terms with it (especially getting rid of jeans I LOVE - I have now decided to buy new jeans and add lots of patches of the old jeans on to them so I still get to keep part of them) and this video was great to help me see it positively and come to terms with it

I feel like it can be such a weird thing to try and explain to someone who hasn't struggled with their body- like why my thighs touching or not touching holds up so much brainspace, it sounds so trivial when thinking of it like that lol. but hearing you empathize and reassure was really helpful, so thank you❤

    Clothing exchanges are another great solution, if you have them in your area! I go to one that works on the premise of "bring however much you want, take however much you want" and it's a really simple way to both let go of your old clothes and discover new ones whilst spicing up your style as well :)

  • @mummytrolls
    @mummytrolls 10 часов назад

    one thing i’m finding helpful in recovery is buying jeans that are a size or two too large and wearing a belt to keep them on until i’m able to comfortably fit them without a belt needed, although i do like belts as a style choice. it saves me some money to get pants too large. i sort of feel like a kid whose mum is making them buy a size up so it still fits when they grow a bit more. and i like baggy shirts anyway so sizing up with that is fine to me. loose fitting clothes are nice for recovery anyway not just for body image reasons but they’re also so much more comfortable when i bloat as my digestive system gets used to digesting a normal amount of food.

  • @fairlady4096
    @fairlady4096 7 месяцев назад

    Yes I was worried about the exact same thing so every time I was recovering and started to gain weight, as soon as I was “average” I would restrict to stay there but restricting always caused a relapse. It’s so good to be reminded that you can trust your body to balance out and you will be a healthy weight if you listen to it. Edit: I feel the same about not wanting curves too I just wanted to be a stick haha and changing from that to having a womanly figure was and still is such a struggle sometimes. I am so glad I found your channel! Very relatable. EDIT AGAIN. I BODY CHECKED FOR THE SAME REASON

After watching this video I am mediately got up and went through my closet. The amount of tiny clothing items that I had been trying to force my body to fit for all these years was disturbing. I have clothes from when I was five years younger than I am now, and should not still be forcing myself to fit into. Thanks to you, I have completely cleared out my closet and I’m donating over 2/3 of my clothes. I think this was a big step towards recovery for me.

    Hi there! One tip that has really helped me with my jeans is to sow elastic in the waist with a little bit peaking out on the inside seam. This way i can adjust the size depending on what I need that day or if I want a more fitted feeling or a looser fit. If you’ve ever had jeans like this as a little kid they’re super similar and the tailoring is really easy for a beginner!

    Thank you so much for talking about this topic. For a person recovering from anorexia, It helped me so much with a lot of questions I’ve had. I’m proud of you for letting go to clothes you don’t wear or don’t fit you. That’s a really good thing to be able to do. But in our family, while we do donate most clothes we don’t want, if an article of clothing has sentimental value, maybe has a sweet story around it or a nice memory, we put it in a plastic bag and save it in a box for maybe my future children or just as a keepsake. It’s certainly good to be able to give things away for other people to use, so no judgment here, but it’s also ok to have a nice memories attached to things. So just keep that in mind when getting rid of things. Thank you for all the work you have put into this and all the other videos you’ve posted. You have helped me so much with my recovery. You are literally my favorite person watch because you challenge yourself and you don’t hold back and you show me that it IS possible to be able to intuitively eat someday, even though it seems impossible right now. I have been with you ever since the beginning. Thank you! Keep up the good work! Remember: You are Beautiful. You are worthy. You are enough. 💗

    I have struggled with anorexia for the past 4 years and have tried sooo many times to gain enough weight to look "normal". I've finally been able to gain and maintain a diet that is healthy. But the only downside is having to get rid of all the clothes that no longer fit! I was able to get a pretty decently big wardrobe of clothes for my smallest size since I was so small for so long. So getting new clothes is kind of daunting, especially jeans since I struggle to find stuff I LOVE. Thanks for sharing your experience because it's pretty much exactly what I'm going through currently!

    The body checking felt completely relatable. I did an experiment and i checked over 200 times in a day - just to be sure. Any advice to practically enforce this? As there are days i can't feel the strength to resist. Love you ro 😀

    Can totally relate to the struggle of getting rid of clothes.. I've recently moved house and trying to declutter and get rid of stuff I've had for years. I really get attached to clothes and other possessions ! They often have so many memories attached to them. I've had to make rash decisions and really think about whether it fits, I actually wear it, whether I'm likely to wear it.........😭
    Great honest and realistic body image chat and advice. Really helpful 🙏💗 especially the part about how to deal with growing into a womanly body when you don't really want to. Looking at the other positives of weight gain aside from the womanly body is a good tactic. Telling yourself that you're living in in a healthy adult body is much more helpful way of looking at it.💗
    Take care sweetie and thank you for another great video. Congratulations for getting rid of all those clothes 👌👏🙌 I've also been procrastinating about going through my clothes for AGES!🤦🏻‍♀️
    Have a great week next week 💗

But I either was to lazy to take pictures of them to put them on a sale, or thought that "maybe one day I'm gonna wear it". Your video inspired me so much! I'm going to look through all my clothes now and put a copule of thing on sale.

    When I clean out my closet I always try on the clothes I’m not sure about, it makes a big difference in deciding if I’m going to keep a piece or not. Also with the things that i mark as a “maybe” I make an outfit with it so that I reach for it more easily later on 😊

  • @planningtolive_thebestlife453
    @planningtolive_thebestlife453 Год назад

    It can be much easier to get rid of clothes that don’t fit you anymore if you do it gradually. Put all the clothes into a storage bin, then 6 months or a year down the line revisit the bin and see if you’re still attached to them. Most of the time since you stopped looking at them everyday the sentimentality isn’t there anymore.
    That being said, if it is still there just wait another year. Also, if possible add to your current wardrobe a little at a time. Especially things that you feel really good in. The balance will tip in favor of the new stuff and you’ll eventually feel comfortable giving away the old things.
