this video literally came when I needed the most, i’ve been really triggered recently and i’ve been wanting to relapse really badly. this is a really good reminder of why not to and why I need to keep working in recovery
i really needed this right now. i really wanna gain weight and fully recover most times, but sometimes i also really don’t want to gain the weight back. i’m working really hard on trying to get past those moments and this was very very helpful
how are you doing now? im really struggling with this right now as well. i gained weight within 2 weeks of recovering on my own, and im really thinking about relapsing even though i know its not what i want
Millie, has anyone ever suggested you write a book? You have an amazing natural storytelling ability, and you articulate your thoughts and feelings so well. I think if you wrote a recovery memoir you have the potential to positively impact and inspire so many people. You have this beautiful energy that makes people gravitate towards you and listen to what you have to say. Anyways, awesome video! Thank you so much for taking the time make it❤️
Struggling quite a bit at the moment with justifying the need to eat more food in my recovery. I think I'm going to bite the bullet (excuse the pun hah) and just start eating more. This really helped me feel like I'm making the right decision so thank you x
I have anorexia and I’m trying my best to recover and I’m scared to accept the fact I gotta gain weight in order to recover I just I’m not sure what to eat when to eat and what to do after eating. I’m so used to working out and I’m scared to stop working out because I don’t wanna be over weight..
OMGG MILLIE I am so proud of you!! I cannot wait to be healthy and recovered, even though I am almost at a healthy BMI (which is scary), but I still get so tired easily, like by just going to the mall or something.. I legit just danced for like 15 minutes yesterday, and today I feel soooo sore its unreal lol... anyways, KEEP GOING GURLLLIEEE!!
I'm at the point in recovery where I'm NEARLY no longer underweight for the first time in years and I'm scared shitless, hahaha. Like, oh my god thinking about it literally makes me feel sick. So finding this couldn't have come at a better time. Thank you! I also have to say, I'm definitely more focused on body-neutrality/body-acceptance than body-positivity. I don't think I ever "loved" my body even before I got sick, so I'm just focused on... not focusing on my body, I guess? If that makes sense!
having your channel in my life is very reassuring even when ana tells me to start you're always here to remind me that even though I don't have the body of my dreams it's not the end of the world and there are stuff more important you're one of the biggest reasons why I haven't relapsed you deserve the world
You have grown so much since the beginning of your recovery and it is so inspiring. I love how you emphasized that body acceptance is a lifelong journey and is a daily practice of choosing to accept yourself.
You are a total star - your insight is amazing (and even more that u have achieved this at your age). Millie you have the most wonderful spirit and u Make the world a better place, I have many many (!!!) more days of life with my body and only just getting to this place now, recovery is hard, weight gain - as you say gives you your life back and it’s so true. Keep shining xx
currently eating breakfast while watching this video, and it’s helped me immensely. the way you flow your words while talking about such a sensitive topic is so gentle and comforting, and i can’t thank you enough for being so vulnerable and sharing your journey with us. hearing all of those encouraging words coming from someone who has fought a similar battle is so inspiring. thank you thank you thank you
Hi my name is Juliette, I'm french and I'm currently at the hospital in anorexia recovery and I'm fighting versus the fear of the weight gain your video help me for understanding and accepting my body so thank you, have a good day !
You make so glad I held on until I made it to full recovery where I don’t have to pay close attention to how much I’m eating. Mindful/intuitive eating is the best fr.
Thank you so much for this video. I’m almost weight restored now and struggling with body acceptance, and because of you I’m gonna try and work on accepting it and what it does for me everyday. Your so inspirational and you help me and so many people with recovery, so thank you ❤️
thank you Millie! I wasn't feeling great about my body today.. and then your video popped up. I always feel so much better to have someone I relate to so much, makes me feel like I'm not alone. continue to shine your own special light!
I could not tell you how much I loved this...in detail, I just have sooo many words but what I really want to say is that this was sooo helpful, so interesting, sooo relatable, and reassuring. I do feel the same when you think about.." now that I'm better, do I need to eat so much anymore" I often found some kind of excuse to use my ED behaviors just to keep it, to be the body that I truly cant/couldn't have (and that body that I wanted was never reachable because I never actually knew where I wanted it to be exactly bit I knew it had to be better, smaller, invisible, unwell...just smaller and at the same time fit, muscles a bit or toned) oh gosh I still struggle with this but I'm currently trying to change these kinds of irrational thoughts...it tough but I have to trust in the process of recovery...where my body needs to be, where I truly appreciate the things it does for me. Ngl I do think that bit my ED tend to distorted it or make me believe that that's not good at all, that I will be the person I use to hate, that people (I thought/believe) hate, that I was going to be glutenous, hideous, unattractive, boring, too much, wanting attention...it's scary to me but I'm definitely working on that. You sharing this helps me to open my eyes more or remind me that there truly is life outside of my ED and even trying to recover. However, haha thank you so much for giving use insight to your recovery process and your thoughts on body acceptance and how you deal with all this. I appreciated this so very much. Love you loads Millie🖤☺️😌👌🥰🌄🥊🕊️😔🌱🗣️🆓🦋💗
Thank you so much for this video! This made me realize that I am not alone, and neither are any of you reading this. You are an amazing human being Millie, and I hope that you are proud of yourself and give yourself enough credit for not only pushing through the hard times in your own life, but also helping those get through their hard times. You are an inspiration and one of my favorite recovery accounts! For anyone watching this video, that is a big step in itself, so I am proud of every single one of you!
This is a really amazing video Omg! Im in recovery now and i have to gain weight. It is so hard, especially this weekend. But i continued and i didn’t have A relapse 😊. Thank u for this video
actually tho i never wanted to be at my lowest weight or shrink myself this much.. i hate my larger body now true but i only ever wanted to be lean, ripped and have no fat. u know sixpack, i was obsessed with my abs and being toned asf became my identity
Omg this is the first video that I’ve seen of yours and all I can say is WOW🤩 You are truly wise beyond your years and every single word you said truly resonated with me and helped me. I’m going through a very difficult time at the moment and this video helped so much. I love your whole personality and vibe, you’re such a gorgeous soul🥰 I wish words could express how much I loved this!!! It’s the first sit down talk vid I’ve ever watched without skipping through! Keep going you’re so strong and such an inspiration🦋❤️
Your videos are helping me sooo much with recovery! I’ve been so anxious about so many things and your videos really calm me down 💞 Thank you so much ! Keep fighting !
i watch this video and try to pay attention to every single second, because i currently hate my body and am suppossed to gain weight but actually keep loosing it. weight gain terrifies me extremely, which is crazy, considering my ed didn't even start because of my body. i'm trying, i'm really trying.
loved this video so much. you’re wise beyond your years and i’m sure you’ve helped so many people with this video! this is a comfort blanket in a video❤
i have gained a lot of weight recently as i am starting puberty into my adult body but i am quite short so i am growing but not taller and it is so triggering having physically recovered but still being mentally ill is so hard but i am trying and this video is so helpful
i always tell myself that it's not "healthy" to stay in the place I'm right now but it's healthy to eat those things my body needs in order to recover properly even if those things are banned as being "unhealthy"
Wow I haven’t finished the video yet but I feel the need to say that I have rarely felt this understood when it comes to my body image and weight issues. I have gained weight ever since I am trying to become healthy and I feel quite uncomfortable especially with meeting people from before Covid who saw me in a much smaller body. I have a reunion coming up and it was really freaking me out because I am terrified of someone commenting on my weight gain. I also recently had a collegue at work tell me about how she thought of me while she was browsing through some plus size clothes and it caught me off guard and I immediately went back to my toxic ways of wanting to starve but I am trying not to.
I had lost weight recently in the last month or so, and I am travelling at the moment, I have gained weight over this holiday. And it is hard for me to feel confident or comfortable about the weight gain I have put on recently so it’s difficult to enjoy this holiday at the moment.
Umm I was out of breath going up the stairs I’m still obese I don’t think extra weight would give me life it was hard or hurt to bend over. I was 46 pounds overweight I’m like 35 pounds overweight now or when I weighed earlier today
"Your body is forever, yet beauty standards are always going to change" very well said
this video literally came when I needed the most, i’ve been really triggered recently and i’ve been wanting to relapse really badly. this is a really good reminder of why not to and why I need to keep working in recovery
please don’t, your future self will thank you for resisting 💖 u can do this.
youve got this, im so proud of u 🥺🥺
Imagine having to start over all over again, you gotta power through for your happiness. Do it for joy ❤️❤️
“Clothes are meant to fit you, you are not meant to fit the clothes” yes queen you said it perfectly imo.
Yes I love belk athletic shorts plus size in the curvy section the 2x
i really needed this right now. i really wanna gain weight and fully recover most times, but sometimes i also really don’t want to gain the weight back. i’m working really hard on trying to get past those moments and this was very very helpful
how are you doing now? im really struggling with this right now as well. i gained weight within 2 weeks of recovering on my own, and im really thinking about relapsing even though i know its not what i want

Anyways, awesome video! Thank you so much for taking the time make it❤️
Omg I was thinking the same!!
I agree!
Struggling quite a bit at the moment with justifying the need to eat more food in my recovery. I think I'm going to bite the bullet (excuse the pun hah) and just start eating more. This really helped me feel like I'm making the right decision so thank you x
you are so strong !! i am going through the same thing here. hope you're doing well today.
I have anorexia and I’m trying my best to recover and I’m scared to accept the fact I gotta gain weight in order to recover I just I’m not sure what to eat when to eat and what to do after eating. I’m so used to working out and I’m scared to stop working out because I don’t wanna be over weight..
you room is so nice, you should do a room tour! this video was so helpful btw
OMGG MILLIE I am so proud of you!!

bmi is bullshit !!! keep going n stay strong :)
What is so scary about that were you underweight or overweight my bmi is 31 actually down to 31
I'm at the point in recovery where I'm NEARLY no longer underweight for the first time in years and I'm scared shitless, hahaha. Like, oh my god thinking about it literally makes me feel sick. So finding this couldn't have come at a better time. Thank you!

min 11:30 sounds exactly like me 🙃🙃
