Summary: The older sister has an eating disorder and exercises by jumping rope progressively and weighs her self. The younger sister mirrors everything the older sister is doing and when the older sister decides not to eat the cake the little sister does the same, and the sister didn’t want her sister to develop an eating disorder as well so they both ate the cake together. At the end you can see that the older sister surpasses her eating disorder while the younger sister is developing hers ( her jumping the rope ). So heartbreaking and beautiful
@@okie4322 im late but at the ending the older sister ignores the weighing scale ( sort of a way to show her getting over her ED ) whilst the little sister starts to jump rope ( sounds of rope jumping can be heard ) hinting that the little sister has started developing the disorder because of weight insecurities
Violeta Millan if you mean the last part of the short film, we heard the sound of the little daughter doing the jumping rope because she kept trying to be like her sister after all
AnpanGirl amyy Because when you have younger siblings or children, you are one of the biggest influences for them. In the beginning we see the younger sister copy her big sisters hairstyle, from what I can see it’s because she admires her. So naturally she’ll copy anything else she does as well
When you eat and it feels like your entire world is crashing down and you can feel the weight gain and the tears rolling down your face as you shove all of it in your mouth because, damn, are you hungry
And then because of this you fast for the next coming days but the reminder of what you ate starts giving you cravings and eventually you give in but after realizing this mistake, you can see the number on the scale going up slowly. And then you stop. Make a whole "meal" plan with exercise and after seeing the number drop you're satisfied again. Hungry isn't a feeling anymore it's just a part of life nowadays.
In a world where to even succeed, you need to be the social standard of beauty, you start thinking about all the "opportunities" you'll lose just because of that one bite you took
i remember eating a taco truck burrito while recovering from my ed and it tasted like shit. it felt like slop in my mouth and i barley had any bc it was so bad tasting at the time
idc lol the little sister copies everything the older sister does cause she wants to be like her, and the older sister has an eating disorder. Now the little one is developing one too.
Honestly this reminds me of somthing my sister would of done even tho she was sick with an ed ..which I was as well she loved me more than the eating disorder
_.anya._. Duray._ the mother probably doesn’t know. You can’t see someone’s mental state. Only thing she would have been able to see is the weight which people with anorexia hide from people
Ugh, how her mum acted made me feel furious. It was quite obvious there's something wrong with Lilith, but she didn't care but instead scolded her, it'll just make her feel worse! I know she's angry because Lilith's actions are affecting her sister as well but jeez put more consideration into how you'll deal with it! To the actress who is playing the mother, you did so well goodness! You were able to depict the character so well! And the other actors are amazing too! The emotion behind each scene danggggg
Zephyrin Easier said that done. Imagine being a parent is stressful enough but the added constant worry that her daughter might die is even more stressful. I feel bad for all of them
It looks like her little sister doesn’t know how else to get her love and attention, so she thinks copying her will help. She’s also too young to understand what her sister is going through. It’s just miscommunication on both sides
not gonna lie this has a great meaning but i would get pissed off if i had a little sister copying my every move first it’s not good for her and second it’s a tad irritating
I answer so later, and i'm very sorry for my english because i'm french, but i think that in the beginning of the video, when the little sister copying the hairstyle of her oldest sister, the most old girl look that she don't have lot of hairs (it's one consequence of anorexia) compared to her sister, so we can think that she's sad or/and angry. I just wanted give my point of me about this beginning, and i hope that this comment could help someone for better understand this video. Byye!
Of course it’ll be a little irritating, but coming from the point of view OF a little sister, it’s because we look up to our older siblings. It’s annoying for them but endearing for us.
lol what the fuck, she’s a kid. you’re probably a only child if you don’t know that little brothers and sisters tend to try to imitate their older siblings. It’s not to be anoying or piss them off. It’s natural. They usually see them as examples and do that to try to get closer to them. That’s exactly what the video is about .
OMG THAT OLDER SISTER IS AMAZING !!! With my ed I would do anything to get away from food!!! The older sister sacrificed her fast for her sister to be happy and healthy omg I'm crying!!!
OMG SAMEEEE i hate my little sister. she literally does eveything same as me (not just eating) and then my parents always yell at me for it and blame everything on ME.
+mihriban bozdag Okay i was angry when i wrote that and i do love my sister, but you obviously dont know what it feels like to be blamed for somebody else constantly, so please FUCK OFF.
I've been wanting to do a short film about my relationship with a convenience store clerk that saw me twice a day, every day, to buy alcohol, cigs, and laxitives from. It was like a small Walgreens and they had a small drugstore side. He always asked me about the laxitives. I told him my family member at home had medical problems. He offered me a Middle Easten pastry for his birthday (or someone's birthday....I believe the family lived upstairs over the shop) and I refused it. He wrapped it up for me and told me to eat it at home....that it was homemade and such....I tossed it in the trash outside the store. I saw his face when he saw me to it and immediately took it out of the trash and took it home and just never ate it. A few weeks later, after he'd been really cold towards me, I came in wasted and in the middle of a fast/exercise streak and was still abusing laxitives and trying to purge. I lived down the street and somehow drove there....while in line I threw up clear bile and a little blood and fell over. I won't say my weight then because it will be triggering but it was my lowest. The clerk had his brother take over and got me in my car and tried to drive me home but I was a wasted, emaciated mess and kept crying and moaning about wanting to die. He kept trying to make small jokes and eventually got a little giggle out of me when he said "Oh no I'm driving a white woman's car and she's crying in the passenger seat. You want me go to jail??? Oh no no no.....the police will definitely shoot me. You will get me killed, you crazy lady!!!!" When I giggled he said, "See, you're still in there. Let me take you home." I directed him to my house (literally a minute from the store but the poor man had probably driven around 30+ minutes) He knocked on the door and woke up my bf, who he knew as well. My BF came out to the car and carried me inside. I heard the clerk say "Here, here's her purse". A few hours later we went to the ER and I was put in Intensive Outpatient. I checked my purse after leaving the ER. The clerk took my laxitives and the rest of the pills and powders I took. I know it was him because he asked if I thought he was a thief now when I saw him afterwards. I told him no, obviously. I've only abused laxitives once since then and the face he made when I put his birthday pastry in the trash just haunted me and I couldn't do it again. I'm not 100% recovered but I'm better. I still go to the same store. I think it would make a good short film. We think people don't notice but they do. And they care.
Wow. This hit me so powerfully. That story is absolutely incredible Thank you for sharing it. I am currently recovering from an ed and this was hard to watch. Your comment was written so beautifully
I remember when I was in a car accident and the car actually flipped on its side...I was going through some stuff at the time and complete strangers stopped there car and got me and my sister and my mom out, there was even this lady who hugged me, I don't know who they are and I guess I'll never get to but that night taught me that strangers do indeed care, that the fact they could have kept on going yet, they stopped to help me and my family get out of that car is so touching and beautiful, I don't think I'll ever forget that...
trust me. it's worth it! I hit a hard road in recovery and delt with hypoglycemia. almost fainted. I fasted so much my body over produced insulin when I did eat. I'm over that now though. just hiked yesterday, no low blood sugar!! trust me. you don't want this. you're heart too is a muscle and you could have a heart attack if your body starts eating your muscle, which it will and it's sneaky! you can have organ failure, ect. I know how good it feels to be in control but at the same hand, you'll only be toying with your health. just eat. I did. I stopped caring about "omg.. I need to exercise now". no.. I let my body absorb it. and to have regular blood sugar 24 7... felt awesome. I started exercising more. truth is you can't build muscle without a lot of protein, and you are only burning the tiny bit of calories you consume. you need 2000 per day. eat at least 1800 to 2000. don't focus on it. know you are beautiful. exercise an hour after dinner. go for a 20 minute walk. when you come home, sit there and feel accomplished hunny. you are worth this! you won't get fat. just eat right. keep your blood sugar up. and enjoy life. know that you look good. you worked for it. starving does nothing but weakens us and eventually brings us down. you need those vitamins too, it keeps your nails pretty, and hair shiny. :) you are worth it. kick this demon aside and go get a turkey sandwitch on wheat with chips. :)
This is the most accurate and heart breaking films on anorexia I have seen. When I was diagnosed I didn't cry until they brought out the pamphlet to give to my younger brother. In that moment I felt like I let him down, set a bad example. Even at his birthday I could barely eat the cupcake. I am so touched by this film and am happy to say I graduated my program.
I've never had an eating disorder BUT I will share this...I noticed my daughter was gaining weight and because of a family member being concerned I started changing things! I thought Well...I'll just start eating healthy and cutting out junk food ONLY letting us have one cheat day a week. Well out of nowhere because of ME talking down about myself saying uh I'm so fat...I wish I was skinny again and all this was RIGHT in front of my daughter! I didn't know just how bad this was effecting my 7 year old daughter! I started noticing that she wasn't eating like she usually does. A week goes by and still not eating normal and the only response was I'M NOT THAT HUNGRY MOM. So I thought maybe she's not feeling good. Well little did I know that when she went to spend the night at her friends she wouldn't eat anything there either! She told the friend's mom she wasn't eating because she was on a diet! My heart fell to my stomach! All this time of ME feeling insecure and talking down of myself had made my daughter think that SHE needed to lose weight too! She would say things like Mommy am I fat? She would look at her belly and say I'm fat! My daughter does have a little bit of a stomach on her but nothing that was causing any real concern! I really NEED people to understand just how bad OUR actions are seen from the outside, especially our kids and DAUGHTERS!! I failed to teach her that NO MATTER what you are always beautiful! I have always said that statement but I wasn't showing her that by hating on myself! I do eat healthier and make small changes and walking is a great way to tone and lose weight and spend time with your child! I just wanted to share that because not all kids will be easy to figure out and show the regular signs of a future eating disorder! God bless
Danielle even though this was from 2 years ago, I just want to say that it’s amazing you’ve noticed the implications of you actions relating to your daughter. Hope everything has gone well. My mom has an ed and in return I have an Ed as well. As she gains weight, she continues to berate herself and talk about how fat she/I am. It’s really hard growing up like that I’m just glad you as a mother have noticed the severity of such things.
My mom talks about herself like that in front of me and even unconsciously gives me her self hate. I’m old enough where I know who I am and words aren’t going to change that but it’s a different kind of hurt when it comes from your mom.
K C your mom’s saying is like a negative subliminal instead of saying for example “I’m fat” it will give her a hard time to loose weight but if she said “I’m thin” not only she is going to loose weight but she can give people subconsciously the positivity anyone needs
When I decide to recover, my sister decides she don’t need to do her diet. When I relapse, she has decided to be ‘healthy’ and cooks her own ‘healthy’ food... she’s constantly watching me and secretly looking at my body, copying every move I make, as if it’s a competition on who’s more anorexic. She’s 8 years older than me
that’s exactly what’s happening with me and my sibling (they’re older too)... comforting to know that other ppl go through it as well and that im not alone... but sad to know that you also have/had to suffer the same pain... i hope things get better for the both of us ❤️
Im happy my sister was a good role model for me, she tought me about nutrients, healthy diet, she worked out, she is vegan and sometimes she made some healthy food instead of the fast food my mom brought home. She moved away to go to a good collage and she has worked really hard to pay for her apartment and living. She rarely asks for money and im so proud of her. I feel lucky to have someone like her in my life.
Please be carefull. My sister had one and even though I know what it’s like, I feel like I’m developing one. Your sister has a higher chance of developing one too when you already went though that.
Is it bad that when I make food for my little brother I always give him ginormous portions and I also give him my food and stuff, I know it’s not healthy for him to eat so much but he used to be a stick and now he’s Chubby and it makes me feel better about myself he’s 8 and 80 pounds and I’m 14 and my goal weight is 83 pounds
Ugly little Rat Yes it's bad. Please talk to your parents about this. You don't want him to develop an eating disorder. My sister used to do this to me, I'm overweight and am now trying to lose it again but am developing anorexia. So please talk ab this
when i struggled with my eating disorder around the age of 16, my 13 year old sister at the time refused to eat because she wanted to be skinny like her big sister. pained me to know that i set that example in her head. going strong, was a size 4 at 16, now a size 8 at 19 ❤️
baby baby this happened in my house just that my sister is naturally skinny and my mom would always compare me to her and tell me things that aren’t good for a kid’s mental health so I devolved an eating disorder to be as skinny as my big sister
The thought of my sister not eating properly just kills me. Yes her and I fight all the time and act like we’re enemies or something but if anything bad happened to her, especially if it was influenced by me, I would be heartbroken and feel so guilty. This film is just so deep and meaningful, with all the details perfected to a fine art, it’s absolutely amazing.
Same, my brothers birthday is in exactly a week from now and I’m so scared to eat some cake, I really don’t want to but my parents will find it suspicious if I don’t. I don’t know what to do. I hate it.
Me again. I've been thinking about this movie from time to time. It really is one of my favorites and I cant understand why it doesnt have more likes. It's perfect in every way.
Hello everyone! I'm Nelicia, the writer-director of this film, and honestly I didn't expect ANYTHING when I put this on RUclips almost three years ago! As a filmmaker I've grown alot in the past three years (you can check out my website here - www.nelicialow.com ) so obviously when I see anything I made before, I cringe and tell myself that I could have directed/written it so much better. However that being said, I was so pleasantly surprised to see all these wonderful comments, and am so happy to have touched so many people. Thank you for your wonderful comments and I hope everyone gets healthy and happy soon
nelicia low Wow. Just wow. You're one of the most strong,beautiful,talented people I've ever seen. this film is amazing and emotional. It actually hit real hard cause it took me back to when my closest family member was in self harm recovery. You are so strong, keep doing amazing things love!
RUclips: 2014: hmmm.. nah 2015: maybe next year 2016: NEXT YEAR 2017: 2018: 2019: **puts in recommendations** This is such a sad video. Anyone going through this, go and call for help x
This scares me because my little sister does everything I do. When I was really self conscious I made myself puke and my little sister did the same. It makes me sad.
I remember this happening to me and my little sister and my mother literally saying “she’s our problem, but you don’t matter. You could die for all we care but your sister has nothing to do with it.” It was great. Such a loving family
Valerie B ikr 😂😂😂😂 it made me jump at first and then I just laughed. For a moment I thought she was gonna throw the cake to a wall or shove it down her throat
When I began eating again I was in tears, like bawling, all my friends were there with me and helped me, that night I threw my scale out the back door. And since Ive been recovering
Recently I haven't been eating, because I feel fat compared to other girls in my class. I'm the one that will down a cake in 5 minutes. It got so bad my apparent "best friend" said I weigh more than an elephant. I then developed anxiety, and now have frequent suicidal thoughts. Moving up to high school made my anxiety worse than ever. So basically one girls mean words spiralled into me now only eating a slice of toast each day. I didn't write this to get attention I just want people to know one thought makes a big difference. Also don't bother commenting "ohh your too young to get anxiety are you like 6" because yes I am quite young, 12 to be exact, but I do have anxiety and nearly committed suicide last year. Think before you speak.
Phabulous Phoebe love yourself i though that i was ugly because everyone in my class had makeup and looked pretty but my mom told me that theres no need to be wearing makeup to look pretty you just gotta be pretty inside my mom helped me learn to love myself and now im happy
Phabulous Phoebe please don't commute suicide, I care about you too much. You seem like a fabulous person. Do you have someone you can go talk to about this. Maybe they can help. I wanted to let you know that I'm 13 so I'm not just some older person that doesn't understand what you are feeling. I hope you get better soon😊

Summary:
The older sister has an eating disorder and exercises by jumping rope progressively and weighs her self. The younger sister mirrors everything the older sister is doing and when the older sister decides not to eat the cake the little sister does the same, and the sister didn’t want her sister to develop an eating disorder as well so they both ate the cake together. At the end you can see that the older sister surpasses her eating disorder while the younger sister is developing hers ( her jumping the rope ). So heartbreaking and beautiful

Noticing the little things like her drink water while everyone else has orange juice is amazing this is truly a master piece big creds to the producer
James Charles Ex-mistress it also shows that the producer really understands and knows a whole lot about eating disorders, especially anorexia.
I think more creds to the director as producers don't really make films, they fund them or buy them

I saw his face when he saw me to it and immediately took it out of the trash and took it home and just never ate it.
A few weeks later, after he'd been really cold towards me, I came in wasted and in the middle of a fast/exercise streak and was still abusing laxitives and trying to purge. I lived down the street and somehow drove there....while in line I threw up clear bile and a little blood and fell over. I won't say my weight then because it will be triggering but it was my lowest.
The clerk had his brother take over and got me in my car and tried to drive me home but I was a wasted, emaciated mess and kept crying and moaning about wanting to die.
He kept trying to make small jokes and eventually got a little giggle out of me when he said "Oh no I'm driving a white woman's car and she's crying in the passenger seat. You want me go to jail??? Oh no no no.....the police will definitely shoot me. You will get me killed, you crazy lady!!!!" When I giggled he said, "See, you're still in there. Let me take you home."
I directed him to my house (literally a minute from the store but the poor man had probably driven around 30+ minutes)
He knocked on the door and woke up my bf, who he knew as well. My BF came out to the car and carried me inside. I heard the clerk say "Here, here's her purse".
A few hours later we went to the ER and I was put in Intensive Outpatient. I checked my purse after leaving the ER. The clerk took my laxitives and the rest of the pills and powders I took. I know it was him because he asked if I thought he was a thief now when I saw him afterwards.
I told him no, obviously. I've only abused laxitives once since then and the face he made when I put his birthday pastry in the trash just haunted me and I couldn't do it again.
I'm not 100% recovered but I'm better. I still go to the same store. I think it would make a good short film. We think people don't notice but they do. And they care.
Wow. This hit me so powerfully. That story is absolutely incredible Thank you for sharing it. I am currently recovering from an ed and this was hard to watch. Your comment was written so beautifully
That’s amazing for a short movie plot. I really wish someone makes it into one
wow that hit hard
I remember when I was in a car accident and the car actually flipped on its side...I was going through some stuff at the time and complete strangers stopped there car and got me and my sister and my mom out, there was even this lady who hugged me, I don't know who they are and I guess I'll never get to but that night taught me that strangers do indeed care, that the fact they could have kept on going yet, they stopped to help me and my family get out of that car is so touching and beautiful, I don't think I'll ever forget that...
Incredible💕
defeated anorexia here! Eating a cupcake while watching this. Going for a walk later.
Yay that's great I'm so happy for you :) I'm not quite there yet but seeing how happy people get in recovery motivates me
trust me. it's worth it! I hit a hard road in recovery and delt with hypoglycemia. almost fainted. I fasted so much my body over produced insulin when I did eat. I'm over that now though. just hiked yesterday, no low blood sugar!! trust me. you don't want this. you're heart too is a muscle and you could have a heart attack if your body starts eating your muscle, which it will and it's sneaky! you can have organ failure, ect. I know how good it feels to be in control but at the same hand, you'll only be toying with your health. just eat. I did. I stopped caring about "omg.. I need to exercise now". no.. I let my body absorb it. and to have regular blood sugar 24 7... felt awesome. I started exercising more. truth is you can't build muscle without a lot of protein, and you are only burning the tiny bit of calories you consume. you need 2000 per day. eat at least 1800 to 2000. don't focus on it. know you are beautiful. exercise an hour after dinner. go for a 20 minute walk. when you come home, sit there and feel accomplished hunny. you are worth this! you won't get fat. just eat right. keep your blood sugar up. and enjoy life. know that you look good. you worked for it. starving does nothing but weakens us and eventually brings us down. you need those vitamins too, it keeps your nails pretty, and hair shiny. :) you are worth it. kick this demon aside and go get a turkey sandwitch on wheat with chips. :)
Nila Bunny thank you so much :)
any time! I'm always here for support. :)
Nila Bunny congrats! You are such a strong person :)
This is the most accurate and heart breaking films on anorexia I have seen. When I was diagnosed I didn't cry until they brought out the pamphlet to give to my younger brother. In that moment I felt like I let him down, set a bad example. Even at his birthday I could barely eat the cupcake. I am so touched by this film and am happy to say I graduated my program.
I am so immensely proud of you, you are one brave woman !
666th like and best of luck in life
As an older sibling, this scared the living shit out of me-
Girl same
my older sister said that i’m not eating just because i don’t want to and only because i just want an excuse 😃-
@@leviswife2482 OH SHI-
Emma xekalaki yuhh and she said she will call Department Of Human service’s 😜
@@leviswife2482 OMG😮
I've never had an eating disorder BUT I will share this...I noticed my daughter was gaining weight and because of a family member being concerned I started changing things! I thought Well...I'll just start eating healthy and cutting out junk food ONLY letting us have one cheat day a week. Well out of nowhere because of ME talking down about myself saying uh I'm so fat...I wish I was skinny again and all this was RIGHT in front of my daughter! I didn't know just how bad this was effecting my 7 year old daughter! I started noticing that she wasn't eating like she usually does. A week goes by and still not eating normal and the only response was I'M NOT THAT HUNGRY MOM. So I thought maybe she's not feeling good. Well little did I know that when she went to spend the night at her friends she wouldn't eat anything there either! She told the friend's mom she wasn't eating because she was on a diet! My heart fell to my stomach! All this time of ME feeling insecure and talking down of myself had made my daughter think that SHE needed to lose weight too! She would say things like Mommy am I fat? She would look at her belly and say I'm fat! My daughter does have a little bit of a stomach on her but nothing that was causing any real concern! I really NEED people to understand just how bad OUR actions are seen from the outside, especially our kids and DAUGHTERS!! I failed to teach her that NO MATTER what you are always beautiful! I have always said that statement but I wasn't showing her that by hating on myself! I do eat healthier and make small changes and walking is a great way to tone and lose weight and spend time with your child! I just wanted to share that because not all kids will be easy to figure out and show the regular signs of a future eating disorder! God bless
Danielle even though this was from 2 years ago, I just want to say that it’s amazing you’ve noticed the implications of you actions relating to your daughter. Hope everything has gone well. My mom has an ed and in return I have an Ed as well. As she gains weight, she continues to berate herself and talk about how fat she/I am. It’s really hard growing up like that I’m just glad you as a mother have noticed the severity of such things.
My mom talks about herself like that in front of me and even unconsciously gives me her self hate. I’m old enough where I know who I am and words aren’t going to change that but it’s a different kind of hurt when it comes from your mom.
Danielle
Do things like “yeah, I’m not really into Mac Donald’s, but I do love *insert vegetable name here* and *insert vegetable name here*.”
My mom makes comments about how she was thinner than me at her age and that I have wide shoulders but yells at me for my anorexia
K C your mom’s saying is like a negative subliminal instead of saying for example “I’m fat” it will give her a hard time to loose weight but if she said “I’m thin” not only she is going to loose weight but she can give people subconsciously the positivity anyone needs
This is by far one of my favorite short movies.
U should watch removed and removed prt 2 it's by far the best short film
+Olivia Xiong Definitely.
+Olivia Xiong agreed

When I decide to recover, my sister decides she don’t need to do her diet. When I relapse, she has decided to be ‘healthy’ and cooks her own ‘healthy’ food... she’s constantly watching me and secretly looking at my body, copying every move I make, as if it’s a competition on who’s more anorexic. She’s 8 years older than me
i hope you guys are doing better now 💜
that’s exactly what’s happening with me and my sibling (they’re older too)... comforting to know that other ppl go through it as well and that im not alone... but sad to know that you also have/had to suffer the same pain... i hope things get better for the both of us ❤️
This is so sad😭😭
i really like your name and profile picture byE

It really is also - |-/

TOP, Melanie and MCR ?! Marry me!
omg when she starts eating the cake I felt like throwing up or something
anonoym 007 same
it gave me anxiety
Sameeeee, probably because I just had oreos after not eating all day
anonoym 007 same. I felt like I was feeling sick for her. Not to mension it’s chocolate cake. I already don’t like that.
Im happy my sister was a good role model for me, she tought me about nutrients, healthy diet, she worked out, she is vegan and sometimes she made some healthy food instead of the fast food my mom brought home. She moved away to go to a good collage and she has worked really hard to pay for her apartment and living. She rarely asks for money and im so proud of her. I feel lucky to have someone like her in my life.
I would of been complaining that the portion was too small
Emily K I wouldn't but I'd still eat it lol
You and me both
Emily K same 😂😂
Emily K lol good for y’all!!!
Emily K lol sameeee
Why doesn't the mother and father try to help her instead of only giving a shit about the youngest of the family.
That “really Lilith” triggered my fight or flight
Fr, it pissed me off so much
Wut is a fight or flight
Fr my mom does that all the time
holy.. that was deep
I nearly cried. If my sister did the same as me it would kill me. I hate the thought of her hating herself or stopping eating like me .
💞
Same
Please be carefull. My sister had one and even though I know what it’s like, I feel like I’m developing one. Your sister has a higher chance of developing one too when you already went though that.
Is it bad that when I make food for my little brother I always give him ginormous portions and I also give him my food and stuff, I know it’s not healthy for him to eat so much but he used to be a stick and now he’s Chubby and it makes me feel better about myself he’s 8 and 80 pounds and I’m 14 and my goal weight is 83 pounds
Ugly little Rat Yes it's bad. Please talk to your parents about this. You don't want him to develop an eating disorder. My sister used to do this to me, I'm overweight and am now trying to lose it again but am developing anorexia. So please talk ab this
My brother said "why is it a big deal if I skip breakfast? you skip meals all the time." and I felt my heart shatter
I almost cried at the ending when you hear the little sister doing the jump rope... 😭 😭 😭
Patricia Sirbu Pretty much the little sister had been watching her older sister’s habits and began copying them
when i struggled with my eating disorder around the age of 16, my 13 year old sister at the time refused to eat because she wanted to be skinny like her big sister. pained me to know that i set that example in her head. going strong, was a size 4 at 16, now a size 8 at 19 ❤️
baby baby this happened in my house just that my sister is naturally skinny and my mom would always compare me to her and tell me things that aren’t good for a kid’s mental health so I devolved an eating disorder to be as skinny as my big sister
"Really lillith?" That touched me on so many levels
Same
Wow, that was quite quiet and intense.
Hahaha ha I ruined the perfect amount of 666 likes lmao
literally all i could say was damn.
I literally thought it said let her eat coke and i-
Omg fr!! And then I looked at it again and it said cake and I thought I was crazy or something xD
Wow beautiful film and great actors, really touched me emotionally.
The thought of my sister not eating properly just kills me. Yes her and I fight all the time and act like we’re enemies or something but if anything bad happened to her, especially if it was influenced by me, I would be heartbroken and feel so guilty. This film is just so deep and meaningful, with all the details perfected to a fine art, it’s absolutely amazing.
The way she cried when she was eating cake, i can actually relate to that😢
Same, my brothers birthday is in exactly a week from now and I’m so scared to eat some cake, I really don’t want to but my parents will find it suspicious if I don’t. I don’t know what to do. I hate it.
I thought she was clapping her cheeks in the beginning 😳
Smol Cinnamonroll Dane ahha
Me too 😅😅
Awww how innocent! I was thinking something entirely different . Oops.
Idk what it is and I'm scared to watch it
Smol Cinnamonroll SAME LMAO
it looks like my little sister ㅠㅠ she starts to weight her self and jump rope for losing weight while she is 6y old !
Oh my goodness! Stop her before it becomes a habit, but keep in mind not to teach her to not exercise.
look after her
예솔이 get rid of your scale.

not gonna lie, beginning terrified me, felt like a horror movie. loved the video though
Me again. I've been thinking about this movie from time to time. It really is one of my favorites and I cant understand why it doesnt have more likes. It's perfect in every way.
When I heard the beginning I was like: 😳
《Phoebe》我喜欢你 i was boutta comment 'wrong site for cake' at first 💀💀
ryannn pffft ahaha.
I swear I've seen you around lol

Hello everyone! I'm Nelicia, the writer-director of this film, and honestly I didn't expect ANYTHING when I put this on RUclips almost three years ago! As a filmmaker I've grown alot in the past three years (you can check out my website here - www.nelicialow.com ) so obviously when I see anything I made before, I cringe and tell myself that I could have directed/written it so much better. However that being said, I was so pleasantly surprised to see all these wonderful comments, and am so happy to have touched so many people. Thank you for your wonderful comments and I hope everyone gets healthy and happy soon
nelicia low Wow. Just wow. You're one of the most strong,beautiful,talented people I've ever seen. this film is amazing and emotional. It actually hit real hard cause it took me back to when my closest family member was in self harm recovery. You are so strong, keep doing amazing things love!
nelicia low. this is a great film it has a message abd it is so heartwarming
nelicia low Wow good job bravo. what other kinds of movie have u made? I'd love to try out for some parts if possible.
her little sister just wants to be like her
thank you for this film, it was great :') (ps i'm from singapore too hehe)
the start of the video.. yeah i thought.. something else was happening
...same..
Alicia M you must not be having good sex if it ain’t sound like that sometimes 😂
same .
I love the fact that I find a new small detail every time I watch this. This time, I caught Lillith's unfinished dinner plate on the counter.
Let her eat cake just like Marie Antoinette - Freddie Mercury
wasnt marie antoinette fat though...
The legend freddie
I'm sorry but I kinda chuckled at this comment lmaoo Freddie Mercury the legendary singer

I rewatched it the second time today and when the older sister got to bed and the jumping rope sounds started, i got goosebumps....
This scares me because my little sister does everything I do.
When I was really self conscious I made myself puke and my little sister did the same. It makes me sad.
This really hurt to watch, as an older sister I wanted to cry throughout the whole thing .
Hhybggyuutghfcg
The way she cries while eating the cake broke my heart
This terrifies me, when I see my little sister faultor for even a second in self esteem I feel so much panic
I feel this one so bad, my big sister and I were exactly like this..
this is incredible
oh hi jessie....
i got this on my recommendations to ❣️🎆💓
I love the acting
psxcopata san I love your profile picture
@@phantrash2333 yeah
“🤨.....oh! that’s just her jump rope”
its a very well done film and captures everything
this is literally me....i eat my pain away...then torture myself because of that...theen i do it again the whole cycle continues
please don't torture yourself
After struggling w an ed for a long time... this made me cry sm
You honestly nailed this.. I cry each time I watch it. It hits right where it hurts.. You're absolutely terrific
The end when she hear that her sister is jumpping because she also wanted to lose weight...
when they ate the cake together i almost cried tears of joy.
I remember this happening to me and my little sister and my mother literally saying “she’s our problem, but you don’t matter. You could die for all we care but your sister has nothing to do with it.” It was great. Such a loving family
Thats really sad… sending much love to you❤ you deserved better
idk why but when she cut the giant slice and shoved it her face i couldnt stop laughing
Valerie B same 😂😂 we're bad people
Valerie B same
Valerie B ikr 😂😂😂😂 it made me jump at first and then I just laughed. For a moment I thought she was gonna throw the cake to a wall or shove it down her throat
Valerie B omg same
This makes me so sad. I couldn’t imagine living in a world hating food. My heart goes out to those who are fighting such a battle ♥️
The sad thing is that we don't even hate food. We love it, we obsess over it and thing about it all day. We just hate ourselves too much to eat it.
Sonja Wegner and it makes the sickness that much worse 😓
@Rachael Zurawski food has no feelings, so I mean we might as well get some from it right? 😉
When I began eating again I was in tears, like bawling, all my friends were there with me and helped me, that night I threw my scale out the back door. And since Ive been recovering
I am the little sister. I love my big sister. She means everything to me
The thumbnail made me think this was gonna be some kind of paranormal horror film involving a creepy demon woman.
Recently I haven't been eating, because I feel fat compared to other girls in my class. I'm the one that will down a cake in 5 minutes. It got so bad my apparent "best friend" said I weigh more than an elephant. I then developed anxiety, and now have frequent suicidal thoughts. Moving up to high school made my anxiety worse than ever. So basically one girls mean words spiralled into me now only eating a slice of toast each day. I didn't write this to get attention I just want people to know one thought makes a big difference. Also don't bother commenting "ohh your too young to get anxiety are you like 6" because yes I am quite young, 12 to be exact, but I do have anxiety and nearly committed suicide last year. Think before you speak.
Phabulous Phoebe love yourself i though that i was ugly because everyone in my class had makeup and looked pretty but my mom told me that theres no need to be wearing makeup to look pretty you just gotta be pretty inside my mom helped me learn to love myself and now im happy
Alpaca Mag thanks, it means so much to me x
Phabulous Phoebe anytime! just remeber to love yourself :3
Phabulous Phoebe please don't commute suicide, I care about you too much. You seem like a fabulous person. Do you have someone you can go talk to about this. Maybe they can help. I wanted to let you know that I'm 13 so I'm not just some older person that doesn't understand what you are feeling. I hope you get better soon😊
i understand you im going trhough a similar rn and honestly i just dont want to eat anymore i know its bad and all but thats just how i feel
I feel so bad for the people with eating disorders. God bless you
Good job RUclips, putting types of videos like these on my recommendations, 10 years later!
Anyone just have 3 month periods of binge eating then crying and losing 30 pounds in like 10 days
The way she is forcing herself to eat it for her little sister is a different type of love.
made me cry when she ate the cake, i felt her pain as she ate it, its so hard to resist
Oh my god, nooo. 😭😭😭
WOW! I WAS CRYING *WAY* MORE THEN I INTENDED TO!!!😭
Can we just appreciate the way this ended? Her love for her sister was stronger than her ED 💜
Is it just me or when she blew the candles out on the cake you could just smell the smoke 😂
