Time genuinely goes so fast. Imagine if this was reversed - she got to do a reaction video to the u now , more independent and free and living with friends and a happy relationship. She’d be speechless ♥️
Aww she wouldn't believe it was even possible I'm sure! Interesting concept ❤️
100%. This is such a beautiful thing to see. She's strong as a mf and I hope she recognizes it. She worked her ass off to get here.
@@harmonyhope1709This comment made me cry. Love this ❤
I think the most amazing transformation I’ve witnessed from this whole journey is watching your Personality blossom. I remember watching your first videos and thinking how quiet, sad, and how little you let your presence take up in the space around you. I’m so happy this journey has allowed not only people to get to know you but to watch YOU get to know YOU. The loud, silly and creative you! I love to see it! sending you the tightest hugs. Keep blossoming 🌱xx
thanks for the loveliest comment. hugs xxx
i think this video was so popular was because it’s so real, it’s so raw. there’s so much perfected, filtered content on youtube that where everything looks and sounds perfect. when you hear the crisps bag and the background noises, it’s almost like you’re really there with her.
the reason ur unique isn’t bc your super pretty (which is true)or the camera quality is great, it’s that you’re so honest
Completely agree. 100%!!!!
The most striking difference to me is in your eyes. Your eyes have become so bright and full of life now! Your skin and hair are also completely different now, brighter skin and fuller hair! I’ve recently relapsed due to a huge stress in my life, so come back to your channel to feel inspired to recover. 31 years I’ve had an eating disorder. I just want a life and some damn energy. I’m so tired all the time. It’s frustrating. I’m on the waiting list for trauma therapy for complex PTSD, if I lose any weight I’ll be taken off the list. I can’t let that happen, thanks for inspiring to try again ❤
im sorry but lose weight ull be taken off the list for trauma therapy??? thats so fucked! i hope everything goes ok nd u recover healthy
@@spookydid thank you 🙏 it is completely messed up. Apparently it’s because if weight is too low the brain can’t handle the intensity of trauma therapy. I do get it but to not have any support for the next 6 months is going to be hard 🫤
Wishing you the best, I'm rooting for you! You can do this, stay strong! It's worth it!
Ya I totally agree
Watched right from the start and beyond proud of you girl - you are smashing it every day and really help me with my mental health and accepting the set backs xxx
thank you 🤍 i’m so glad i can help xxxx
I remember watching your first video when I was inpatient for the first time. I remember comparing myself to you (EDs are so competitive as you obviously know!) and now I can't believe the progress we've BOTH made. It gives me so much hope to see someone do so well, and it motivates me to fully recover. If you, someone who struggled with an ED for much longer than I did, can recover, then so can I. I'm so so incredibly proud of you and thank you. Much love from Canada
i’m proud of us 🤍
A video on committing to recovery even when weight gain is not such a priority anymore would be really helpful. Now that I'm a 'healthy weight' I do find it harder to justify sticking to my meal plan when I don't have the mantra 'I need to gain weight' to fall back on. x
Same. It feels so hard and challenging when you are at a healthy weight. It would be great if she made a vid about it.
I would love it so much
If you can, you need to change the voice to : i want to take care of my body, i want to enjoy life to the fullest, a car can't drive without petrol and so can't i, my appareance doesn't define me.
Also is this a stage in recovory to let go of your mealplan a little ans try to eat the things you want at that moment, and then dont listen to what the ED whants (lower calorie, light, less, etcetera)
I genuinely miss your dad and mom’s reassuring voices behind the camera. They were so wonderful and warm with you! ❤️ I hope they are doing well.
I'd love to see a Q&A with them
Can completely relate to not recognising the ill version of ourselves. I get this when I look at ill photos and also when I think back to the way I behaved and the fears and rules I had around food. It's like I was possessed by the illness quite literally!
You have come so far and we are all extremely proud of you! Thank you for going through this process online for us all to see that it is possible to overcome
🥺❤️ thanks for being here !
Ro every time i falter in recovery, i watch you and it inspires me to get back up. thank you so much
keep going lovely ⭐️🌷✨
I just LOVE how far you've came, it's so wholesome and melts my heart, I've never been so proud of someone in my life! 💗
you’re so sweet !!!!
It’s funny seeing the little flashes of genuine Ro personality in the first video beginning to break back through. I remember watching those videos when they first came out and hoping you made it through. So so glad that you did.
Your hair is so much shinier and fluffier now! You're absolutely glowing with health. Your skin and eyes are so much brighter, too. Congratulations on your recovery, you've done fantastic work! You're truly an inspiration, ups and downs included. You've provided such an honest and refreshing take on recovery and shone a bright light for others at the end of the tunnel. We started recovery at a similar time and your videos made me feel less alone, and made scary meal times much more manageable having someone "there with me". Thank you for what you do. Keep shining, love!
It’s crazy how time flies, you are genuinely the best version of yourself once in recovery and this goes to everyone struggling with any ed:))
🥺
Ro, I think a video about stomach bloating and this part of recovery would be really helpful. I'm dealing with it, but it is really hard every day having this feelings. I would totally appreciate it.
Can’t wait to watch this when I get home! Just challenged myself to a meal at nandos by myself! Thank you for being an inspiration! I’m so proud of how far you’ve come ❤️
That’s amazing!!!
Very proud of you
best wishes...not easy to challenge yourself..
so proud of you ⭐️✨🌷🤍
@@stell8012 thank you 😊
It's weird how one can feel so proud of somebody they never met. Every time I see you smile, see you with friends, see you enjoying (even the tiniest bit) I just feel a pang of proudness through my body. You are doing this!
You are looking so healthy and so much better. My daughter is now eating solids, still in hospital but looking forward to getting her home. Miss her soooooo much xxx well done you kick it's arse!!!!
It gas genuinely been a pleasure to watch you grow- the change is insane ro, you seem so much more free and happy and I can't believe you're the same person I started watching back then
thank you for sticking with me 🥰
I’ve been here since day one when u started this channel and I’m so so proud of how far you’ve come 😭 🤍
thank you 🥰
I love how your parents were handling this! They're being so open with the topic and really supportive and helpful and remaining calm, even though it certainly can't have been easy for them either.
I remember watching this video when it first came out - when I too was only just beginning recovery. I actually feel like I’ve grown alongside you, so thank you for making these videos 💗
This was so emotional for me to watch. I consider myself 90% recovered now, and I completely relate about look back at a past version of myself who I genuinely don’t recognise. I was crying at the end, it’s so beautiful to see your growth, and just know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, your videos helped me so much in my journey so thank you❤️🥺💗💘🌸
it’s so great to see you now: relaxed, diverse facial expressions, humor and many things more. Congratulation that you made it!!! 😃 You can be so proud and happy, even in difficult moments.
If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a billion times. Ro you are a light. I choked up so many times seeing how far you’ve come. The girl you once were is so precious and so goddamn strong. I can’t believe what she did. And amidst that she helped so many others. It’s one of the rare miracles of life. Someone recovering from a devastating illness and winning back their lives. And you won for your family too. I cannot imagine their fear seeing you that sick and being helpless to help you. And I cannot imagine the joy they must feel now - how proud they must be of you. By fighting so courageously for your life - you gave them so much. They get to keep YOU. And we get to keep and know you. Today, you positively radiate with beauty and warmth and grace and courage. And the girl you once were - she has my heart. Because she fought while sick and scared. She fought her little heart out. She gets a pass on editing - because she’s the bravest effing person ever. And so are you. Bless you for always Ro. You are a gift.
this is genuinely one of the kindest, most thoughtful and lovely comments i’ve ever received ❤️ thank you x
11:47 -> the look of compassion and love and pride on your face! It's powerful and heartwarming. It's like you're watching your spiritual daughter, if you see what I mean.
You currently just radiate strength. Your transformation is truly inspiring.
I‘m struggling with recovery bloating at the moment and i really hate it like i feel so pregnant all the time… could u do a video on your experience with that sort of thing?like how long it took u to get better and what helps… love ur videos! Been following since the beginning🤍🤍
It definitely does go away ! It happened to me but that was before my body evenly redistributed my restored weight !
To see you and your recovery in this past year, I feel so inspired! I'd say I'm a lot further in recovery now than when I first started following you, and I still have a way to go, but your videos are really what inspire me to make a final push. Knowing that I'm not alone and that other people can do it too!
As you were eating your cereal and talking with your dad it made me so emotional. I'm so proud of how far you've come.
thank you :,)❤️
you’ve done so well!! you are so inspiring, i’m so proud of you!!
thank you
Must be so strange to watch yourself back like this. It's so lovely to see how your mindset and whole demeanor has changed. I remember watching this video when you first put it on RUclips. I had no idea how your recovery was going to go but I was SOOOO hopeful that you would be able to do it. So proud of the progress you've made so far. I know life isn't rainbows and butterflies but it has definitely changed for the better in so many ways 💪❤️ so glad you chose to be brave and challenged yourself constantly in recovery 🙏 thank you for continuing to make these videos as I know how helpful I find them, certainly during an unexpected relapse last year. You're a 🌟 xx
Loving your curtain bangs. Really suits you, your hair looks so lovely and healthy compared with this first video ❤️
Also very jealous of your very healthy looking cheese plant!! Lol
One of the things that got me in this video is how supportive your parents are throughout. They’re like your cheerleaders and it’s a beautiful thing to see. Love that ❤️
You now look sensational, you are now glowing and have such a vibrant and fun personality .
Honestly Ro you are glowing! You're skin is flawless, your hair, I want it lol, and you have the most pretty eyes. I'm so happy for you. I remember watching this video when it first uploaded and was invested in your journey and you've come so far. Very proud of you🥰
Today was the hardest day I've had in weeks. This video made my day. Made me eat normally. Made me say no to my ed thoughts. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Stay strong, stay loved, stay nourished, stay alive friends.
I want your hair! This is such a powerful video to see. You're super brave, you're a warrior. Congratulations for beating it love.
perspective is everything. it's amazing watching you look back and see how much you've grown.
my fave part of those old videos was listening to your family's encouragement at the table. it was so heartwarming.
It’s actually amazing how untriggering this video was! so many of these sorts of videos dredge up bad habits and thoughts but this is so positive 💛
I’m a teenager, with an eating disorder,,, I only recently spoke up about it to professionals, thanks to the support i got from watching your videos I no longer want to suffer :) I’m currently recovering!! Thank you do much for posting that video, made me feel heard and seen
This video was so emotional to watch so I can’t even imagine how it felt for you to look back at your old struggles, I’m so proud of you for getting to this point, love you Roisin
That video was actually the first I saw of yours and I remembered feeling so proud for this girl I didn’t even know. You have come so far and has been very inspiring to thousands of people and you really should give the greatest thanks to yourself 💜 (and your amazing parents ofc)
a video about how your body changes and how you dealt with that would be really helpful :) i’ve challenged loads of fear foods and gained weight, but i’m stuck at a specific weight because the idea of looking different at a higher weight is too scary :(
its so incredible I see two diffrent people, and especially I see the most brave young women
I was just thinking a few days ago seeing your stories about how much you grow ❤️ your journey is not finished yet but you already achieved so much and you can be so proud of you! Keep going ❤️
thank you !! 🤍✨
You are glowing! ✨ And you are so brave for overcoming this, really. I struggle since 18 years with anorexia and bulimia and I appreciate you so much ♥️
You give us so much hope, it’s so beautiful 😭 this video really makes me think of a quote that I love. “Just when the caterpillar thought her life was over. she began to fly.” 🐛🦋🦋🦋
That video was your first video I ever saw and also what made me finally recognize and admit that I had an eating disorder. Following your channel in the following weeks was a huge part of the reason I committed to recovery. I am so thankful for you and the inspiration you have been to me and so many others. I committed to recovery and never gave up. I totally relate to your comment of not feeling like I can say I’m fully recovered, but I haven’t wavered and can fully experience life without being afraid of any foods. It’s been so freeing. It’s so wonderful to see how well you’re doing now. Thank you so much 💕
Watching this made me really happy. To see the contrast and how much more joyful you are. Makes me wanna hug you. You are doing so well and that's just so amazing. I'm really Happy for you. I am at a way more healthy point in life now too. The contrast in this video just shows that you recover for a good reason and that we should never want to go back. Love you so much and thanks for everything :)
I might not know much about editing, but please believe me, none of us are focused on that! We are interested in you and your content. Don't be harsh on yourself, be proud of everything you have achieved. Including making awesome videos ☺️ xx
You look so radiant. I'm proud so of you. When I started watching your videos, I was dealing with depression. I've come out of it now, but your videos were very comforting. I felt less alone, knowing that you were trying to get healthier and in my own way, I was trying to be healthier too. I'm happy for you.
yes PLEASE do a video on how you managed bloating/stomach pain it'd really help!
It's wonderful for you to see how far you have come, and best of all be proud of it. You look so much healthier and happier now, and it is clear that will continue far into the future. Fingers crossed you can overcome those final anorexic feelings soon so you can finally leave that part of your life behind and fully embrace the newfound view on life this has given you. You are still such an inspiration for so many, myself included, and you showing us recovery is possible is more precious than any self-help resource out there. Thank you Ro! Xx
I just watched that video and straight onto this one, and my goodness girl you’re GLOWING!! In the other video you were beautiful, but your eyes are sparkling now! Keep smashing it girl, such an inspiration
This gives me so much hope, everytime I feel like recovery isn't worth it I watch one of your videos because you prove that it always is 💗
You channel makes me realize time and time again I'm just not eating enough. I've been struggling with depression for some time and it makes eating so hard. And just seeing these lists of what people eat in a day kind of puts it into perspective how one big meal is not enough food for an entire day
Whoa! This channel just popped back into my recommended after a year away & there’s such a massive difference between the old and new her! Looking healthy, strong, and beautiful - honestly the transformation and the courage it took is mega inspiring 😮
When I was in hs I had an ED for a few years and then recovered, and then a year ago I got closer and closer to relapsing when I found your channel. Seeing how difficult it was for you and how much you thought recovery was a good thing and not a weak thing was one of the main reasons I was motivated to avoid myself from slipping. And holy shit is life better when you're not in the pits of an ED.
your hair has become so much thicker!! i started all in recovery around a year ago and i also forgot how many behaviours i used to obsess over; eating is just so much more normal for me now that i cant even believe it had so much control over my life!! as much as i still have harder days in terms of body image im finally starting to feel like im recovered rather than still in active recovery which is such a lovely feeling :)))
My beautiful Ro, I grew with you. I started my all in with you and now, I’ve come such a long way just like you! RECOVERY IS SO WORTH IT! You’re doing it for yourself. Do not give up on yourself.
Me too !!
Your parents are so loving and supporting it feels UNREAL. I always forget parents can be like that??
I can't thank you enough Ro, you are such an inspiration❤
🤍🤍🤍
Omg I just was watching that video and now I see you recovered🥹🙏🏼😭❤️ I’m so proud of you😭❤️ I’m someone who suffers eating disorders. I go from restricting then binging and purging then back to just eating whatever until I get that motivation to lose a lot of weight again and it’s a never ending cycle 😞 I promised my family and my boyfriend I would never purge again after my stomach surgery and I’ve purged several times since it and I had the surgery last July of 2021.
People like you make me realize that this is not how life should be. I try everyday to better myself. Xoxo
It's just so wonderful to see the changes you've made, both mentally and editing wise lol
Seriously thank you so much for starting this channel! I was at my lowest point when I started watching you more than a year ago and I've always been a person of affirmations and good thinking, it all helped me to reach recovery and even though I struggle sometimes, knowing that I made it this far, and knowing you wouldn't give up so easily motivates me to keep on track
it’s so amazing how far you’ve come!! I’m literally here since that first video and I am so proud of you Ro💖
OMG your eyes.... your nails..... the leafs in the backround.... it´s just the perfekt fit!!!!
Oh my gosh, I watched your fear foods video back when you first posted it, and I was deep down in my own ED at the time. Your video helped kickstart something in me, cause deep down I was sick of it all too and hated where my life was and was headed. So thank you so much, I'm on the other side with you and it feels, ironically, so much lighter! ❤️
This is now my favorite video of yours. Wow. I feel so honored to listen to your thoughts on your old self. Such valuable information
So excited to watch this new video !! Thank you for all these videos and your hard work Ro. All the support you’re giving each and everyone of us is just amazing, so I really hope that we can support and help you as well in any way possible ! Please always remember that you can take all the rest you need and there is absolutely no need to worry about not posting every week or taking breaks ! Please feel free to take a break whenever you feel like it. Your happiness and overall (mental) health is the most important thing. I wish you all the best and I am more than proud of you. You did great today and as always, you look absolutely stunning :) xxx
So proud of you Ro! 💞 I too understand the hardships of ed recovery. Even though I also get ed thoughts from time to time, Ive conquered nearly all my fear foods. I can finally eat freely, which makes recovery SO worth it. These days I find myself feeling nostalgic and grieving for the girl I was before my ed, before it took away my identity. I don’t know why, but does anyone else relate? It’s hard to accept that the past me is no longer me, and that in order to move on, I should treat this as a loss. What should I do? Should I grow and become a new version of myself,or is my past self still here?
Your channel is better than therapy, you're literally an angel 💙
I felt like crying too thinking back of how I bullied myself and how bad I now want to say to me "Sorry for what I did to you, you deserved none of that"
wow!!!!! this gives me so much hope
this made me so emotional
how much youve changed and grown and became a incredible girl !! i cant believe it either
the way you speaks shows how much hard work you’ve put into recovery and your videos are a great motivation for me to further fix my relationship with food. thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your experiences. you are really helping make a change, even if its small. also your hair looks so beautiful like this
Kind of off topic, but your hair looks absolutely amazing in this vid!
thank you :)!
I watched that first video and I was so impressed by how far you had come then. So happy to see how much further you progressed and were you are now! Also, your personality was already showing in that first video and that is why it took off. And because you were brave enough to show your inner struggle to help others understand those who suffer from eds better. I think your parents might have had a little part in it as well, because I personally was really impressed by the way they supported you through every meal.
This has been extremely interesting to watch and thank you for sharing. I am a new viewer. Although I have never had an eating disorder, I have restricted my diet to one meal a day before for financial reasons which has lead me into feeling justified in skipping meals. I think people who don't struggle with eating will never understand how big a deal it is to be able to reflect back on your eating like this video.
P.s - I fell back in love with bananas from the taste of banana bread
you are such an amazing person❤️im so proud of you ro
aw thank u so much !
@@RoMitchell ❤️❤️
I want to say to you thanks for every past video's.because i started recovery with you and seen 6 month ago i am free of anorexia. I love you dear♥️
You can't even imagine how much your videos help me in my own recovery. Even though it's temporary, I always decide to end my restriction and eat something when watching. So thank you. I'm literally crying. 🧡
The change I see, or the one I celebrate the most, is the joyful lovely LIGHT in your eyes now!! So happy and proud for all you've accomplished- I know it has been HARD won dear Ro!!
Yes please a video about bloating. I'm weight restored for so long but still struggle with it
Omg yes
Wow, I haven't watched your videos for a while but for some reason this video randomly showed up on my recommendations list today. Ro, you look amazing!! It's unbelievable to see the difference between where you were then and where you are now!
Eating disorders really do rob us of ourselves. I look back on my recovery insta and the photos, videos, and food pics from when I was so ingrained in my ed I genuinely don’t recognize myself because I wasn’t myself, I was in the depths of my ed and I lost all of what made me me. My newer posts might be less “perfect” and “regimented” but I am so much more free and happy. I have followed you since day one and it has been so amazing to see your growth! I found you at a great point in my recovery but you reminded me of myself and I was rooting for you and cheering you on the whole way!!!
I also got an owl heating pack when in treatment that I still have today and named owlexander hamilton 😂
girl you are glowing, I'm so happy to see how much progress you've made. I feel similarly looking back at old journals!
I used to follow you on TikTok and was recently thinking about your channel since I haven’t seen in over a year. I was worried you deleted your TikTok due to a relapse, but I remembered that I watched your first RUclips video so I searched it up and was so so so happy to see this video. Thank you for continuing to post and congratulations on how far you have gotten in your recovery. Seriously a role model. ❤️
This is the first react to old videos I've ever seen where both people are so wise, you can't fault past Ro, you did would you could at the time and everything you said you still agree with, two wise Ro's just at different stages of healing 🤍
thanks lovely :)
The little chuckle to yourself at 10:20 is so heart warming and gorgeous
It's amazing how far you've come mentally. You seem so more confident and happy and free these days. What an amazing job you have done getting here! It's been a long struggle for sure. But you're doing so well.
Completely off topic, but when talking with your hands your nail color really made your eye color pop!💕
Been watching from the start and it's crazy how fast that times has gone! You've done so incredible 💙
I went out for a spontaneous fancy pancake diner for the first time in years, being able to enjoy the whole thing felt so freeing and wonderful. I promise anyone recovery is so very worth it!
so proud of you!⭐️🤍
I’m so proud of you!💕, I’ve been trying my best in recovery my parents still don’t know about my eating disorder but I think my mum has caught on because she has had anorexia when she was young too, but I can say u have definitely helped me so much in my journey💙, every day is still a battle I promised my self I will heal💗 xx
Oh Ro. Watching back your first video now makes me so sad for you but also so happy for and proud of current you. You are wonderful. Never forget it! Xx
thank you !! x
Hey, I actually was searching for a video bcuz i just have gained the motive to recover from anorexia, and i found your video (the 24 hours challenge) and after i watched that i immediately came to your channel for more and i found this video...yes I cried, you look so beautiful and healthy, i'm proud of you eventho we don't know each other....you gave me hope and motive....I will start my recovery today, hopefully i will make it. I will always remember you for helping me and many other people to go through this :") thank you Ro, we love you ❤
I love seeing you smile and glow right now! I saw some of your videos way back and related to them in a completely different way (specific phobia related avoiding behavior) and was so proud of you for how you challenged your anorexia, because I could see how much fear it induced. Coming from my own phobia, I know how extremely hard it is to challenge that fear again and again, day after day. Wow, I am excited for you and I feel proud of you, it is great to see you smile and in such a good place!
Your hair looks amazing! and your nails really compliment your eyes!
your parents are amazing! recovery is so much less miserable when people who love you are cheering you on
Ro, you wonder why this video was so successful and I'd like to suggest, as someone who followed you from day one: Your authenticity and vulnerability was so compelling. The loving support from your family was so endearing. I subscribed right away; I really, really wanted to see you succeed. And throughout your journey, you have shared insights that really challenged my own relationship with food. So grateful for your wisdom and strength 💚
I was in hospital 11 years ago with an eating disorder and even now I still have the thoughts, I don't know if they ever fully leave you but now I eat whatever I want and have learned to ignore the thoughts. It's about knowing the thoughts are there but not listening to them. You're doing great ❤️
