i cant imagine how proud your parents must be just sitting next to you and hearing you talking and motivating yourself
It is really beautiful to watch.
not sure if anyone gives a damn but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times then you can watch all of the latest series on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my girlfriend recently =)
@Marc Vincenzo Yup, I've been watching on InstaFlixxer for since december myself =)

“You would not tell somebody else that they didn’t deserve food, so you have no right to say it to yourself” 🥺
That's everything
my mom and i watch your videos when its time for me to eat. not only does it help me recover and eat without thinking too much, it helps her better understand my disorder. thankyou
this is so lovely, I'm so glad I can help =)
That's wonderful :) good luck on your recovery, you got this!
You’re just as strong!
Same!! My mom and I always watch them after dinner for dessert cause is the most difficult part of the day for me
Sounds like you both have wonderful mums. I sincerely hope your doing well.
I think everyone here can agree that they cannot put into words how much Ro inspires us all ❤️
Yes and how much she has helped so many❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@EnyaKellermann oh hi enya haha
Agreed
I just want to say. I am truly beyond proud of you! We are the same age, I’ve been through anorexia, I have come out the other side and I do just know that you ARE going to beat this Ro. You are one of the only ‘recovery’ youtubers I watch because you are just so genuine, you show the ups, the downs, you show how tough living with an eating disorder is but you are really beating this awful illness. You are showing that anyone struggling can and will do this, you are a huge inspiration to so many. Keep going Ro, you are such a beautiful person and deserve so many good things in life💞
this means so so much to me, I can't thank you enough xxxx
@@RoMitchell you’ve got this girl💜💜💜
we are all rooting for you !
Your dad “you don’t need to feel guilty about getting your life back” truth!
She’s so precious guys let’s promise to be nice and not scare her off RUclips
Definitely especially after little Molly Jones!!
@@harmonyhope1709 hmm?
@@dianalove539 a girl who was doing a similar channel and people's comments really got to her so she quit and deleted all her recovery videos. She was adorable like Ro, so sweet and her videos were so helpful. Such a shame 😢
@@harmonyhope1709 molly is back to youtube now! :))
I don't have any history with disordered eating, so I really appreciate this glimpse into what recovery is like. It helps me understand and empathize. I am so sorry that many people feel the need to comment on your body. Especially when they obviously know you are in recovery. Honestly, you are looking much better already, but that has nothing to do with your body or appearance, but with your confidence and joy. Seeing you get excited for food, even when it also terrifies you, is so beautiful. It is clear that you have become mentally stronger, even though it is still very difficult for you. You have come so far already, thank you for taking us along for your journey.
can we talk about the personality and humour gains tho ?! girl u are glowing! u seem like such a fun person to be around x
Always lovely to see a persons true personality shining through instead of just being able to see the Ed persona.... As anorexia is pushed out, the true person can come in and sense of humour, interests, personality traits, different thoughts and feelings all come back and its lovely to see ❤️
I know that one day we’ll be all here because your channel will be just you happily vlogging and enjoying life and we’re here for you 🤍
this makes me SO happy ahhhh thank you
It happened and it gives me so much hope for myself too 🥹
Your parents are angels. I love how your father speaks to you. They encourage you vs forcing. I respect that so much
The pain and guilt you might feel while eating is weakness leaving your body. And the more weakness is leaving, the stronger you get🌼
I can see how much better your mindset has gotten. You eat more freely and yes, you still feel guilt but at the same time you understand that you need to eat. You're doing so well! Good luck on the rest of the journey.
People are so stupid re: gaining weight. Just because they can’t see it they think it doesn’t exist? So ridiculous. You’re doing so well, Ro. Ignore the background noise! ✨
Also, she probably gained a good amount of weight that didn't show up visually cause of her organs repairing and her body starting to adjust to the changes and everything
It's important to mention that it's probably mosty still just water retention which is the first weight you gain in recovery from restrictive eating disorder.
@@MsKatieBo yup! I gained quite a big amount in the first week of refeeding. I was like "Dad you and mum are serving me too much!" and my Dad reassured me that he knew that was going to happen and that he was not going to cut the amount he was giving me. It continued on withe me eating whatever my parents served me and in whatever quantity and my Dad just told me to trust the process. The weight gain slows down and even at some point you have to INCREASE (increases are VERY normal. And essential) in order to keep making progress. What used to seem like a snack, is no longer even close to enough! Basically, you should not be eating the same way you did at the beginning of recovery, once you are in the middle or the end. And very important to NOT restrict once you reach the "end" (which isn't like a day or something lol. I used to think that. No day when you just say "I`m recovered". It's more of a state of being and mind. It happens over time without you knowing really. But your team and those around you can notice the changes.) When I reached my healthy weight years ago the first time around, my dietitian did nothing to my meal plan. I was expecting a big drop in the amount I was eating. But that's not realistic. Chances are, what you eat at that point is what your body will most likely feel good on. And I even had more snacks here and there (not just the set 3) and before my ed I am sure I ate more than my highest meal plan! So goes to show the ed is just lies and meal plan amounts or recovery amounts are not "crazy large" or "abnormal". Anyways, sorry this was so long. Your point is very important! :)
@@eb9436 this is so helpful for people to know and also my experience of refeeding too.... Glad to hear you're feeling so much better about things these days and went through and stuck with the process, good for you xx
@@harmonyhope1709 I am not out of this yet haha, but working at it. It's been a long battle (as it is said to be. 7 years is the average time it takes to reach FULL recovery and be completely free. Of course for some it might take longer). Things have been tough recently but I am trying to look forward. Thank you for your kind words. :)
i love this girl. her videos always make me push me a little bit more always. like i wanted to have a snack but i was freaking out about it but now here i am eating a pastry muffin with nutella because i remember i just loved them so much and that’s right! it is sooo nice and flavour
you’re doing the EXACT right thing. proud of you xxxx
That sounds so good 😦
You're so sweet! Your mental growth can be noticed - you're not degrading yourself as much as you used to when you step out of your comfort zone, I think? Lovely! Keep fighting, you are such a brave human. Don't get discouraged if you lose a fight, the war still awaits. Do this for the little Ro and for the grown one too. Food is not the enemy, the thoughts around it are.
I don’t know if this is appropriate to comment but I work at sainsburys and I was working on Saturday on the cereal aisle where I saw this girl who was looking at all the products. I could tell she was underweight, maybe even suffering with anorexia- I will never know. She looked for a long time and left with nothing. I’ve had a lot of people on my TikTok fyp and ofc I’ve subscribed to Ro to cheer you on! All I wanted to do is give the girl a hug and tell her it’ll all work out in the end and she is perfect just the way she is, she deserves a healthy lifestyle and she deserves to take care of her body. I wish I told her about this channel. It hurts to see girls (AND BOYS!!) thinking they don’t deserve a healthy life or to take care of their body. Anyway, I don’t know why I posted this comment but it’s been on my mind and it’s been eating me up that people are hurting 😖
please don't walk up to a stranger and randomly suggest an ana recovery channel unless you know and love the person
if some random person did that to me it would be detrimental to my "recovery"
I am currently recovering from anorexia and I can’t thank you enough for how much you’ve helped me. You’ve helped me to rationalise and normalise things that seem so scary. Thank you for showing the reality of an eating disorder and not only showing the positives steps to recovery but also the downsides because this is what helps us to keep improving and growing. You’re such an inspiration. ❤️
Good luck to you
I’m so sorry that people are being idiots and making your recovery harder than it already is.
I’m loving your content - it’s inspiring and you’re so brave to keep putting yourself out there. ❤️
let me just tell you that moment where you just went up to the fridge and ate a sausage because you were craving it... I als Mist SCREAMED!!! I am so happy for you because I see how far you’ve come .... let me just tell you I am so proud of you and I know you’ll do amazing!!!🥰
I wish Euginea Cooney would face recovery like you ❤️ you're so strong and keep going. I'm cheering you on Ro ✨
You sound so wholesome when you say “that’s actually really nice” It makes me warm❤️
Love it too ! Tied with the English accent . Cozy vibes.
I have weigh day for the first time since I got out of hospital tomorrow and I'm STRESSED but you always calm me down
you are not your weight or any number, you are sooo much more. keep that in mind
good luck angel❤️
you’ll be absolutely fine💗🌸
@@irinaschneider7382 right? and what even *is* the right weight? it kind of doesn't exist because everyone is different. + also it is only a number, which does not show you how much of muscles do you have, how much of fat do you have, how much of water is in your body, how much of stress, anxiety and important nutritions you have.. the number does not show, how much your head and brain weigh, how heavy and stable are your bones, how much your organs which literally *keep you alive* weigh. you cannot let some number control your life ♥ ♥ ♥
@@forestchild487 well said.. ❤
It's so amazing to see how brighter, happier and stronger you are since your first videos. In every video you are more energetic and funny. You are singing! And you have an amazing voice! It's a pleasure to see you start to enjoy life again.
ALSO YOUR DAD IS SO ADORABLE IN THE BACK OMG
I struggle in weigh days as well and seeing how calm you are afterwards and accepted the fact that the number needs to change is making me less anxious for my next weigh in day. Thank you so much for being such a big help for me this week.❤️❤️
I burst into tears when you said a Kit Kat isn’t a big enough snack. Yes girl.
Look at your incredible determination and your family's fantastic support, you are such a great team! Anorexia hasn't got a chance here, keep up the good fight!
Hearing your parents encourage you makes me tear up. It’s so amazing. I know a lot of people would give a lot for parents so supportive and understanding of their illness ❤️
ive watched many recovery channels but i never have been able to relate to someone that much, ty, you make me want to get better
i'm still rewatching these as i recover, your parents (especially your dads comments around 15min) are the best therapy compared to everything i have had.
KEEP GOING RO YOUVE GOT THIS!!! love you ❤️
thanks ily !!!!!
this video makes me so calm. I had anorexia and body image issues, it started in lockdown 2020, I lost everything including my period. I started recovery November, however I didn’t fully commit until late December, it’s now nearly may and today I’m getting discharged from Cambs and I’m nearly fully recovered. Your videos have helped me so much, it’s made me normalise weight gain. It also helped me understand it’s a weird time in the world, so my body is going to react. It shows not everyone’s disordered eating is the same, and people’s recovery can take weeks, or months of years, Thank you do much ro.
Very motivational and inspirational,ro is making people to love their bodies no matter what
I wrote this, for you
Anxiety, pain and fear
Are the worlds gifts that reflect in a tear
But why a “gift“ if it hurts in our hearts ?
Those are the gifts that we need to change
We turn it into a piece of art
At first sight this might seem strange
But challenging ourselves everyday
Turning the fear into strenght
Is way better than running away
Instead we seek the strength that brings the change
Once we decided for the strength, we gain
We gain love and loose the chains that held us back
We build the life that we lost in our tears
Trying to sustain the gain
Acceptance is the key
Accepting to be vulnerable
Accepting to be free
Beautiful
dude that is so beautiful
@@michelle-zg8ur thank you :)
wow, you are so talented 🥺💘💕💞 thank you
Anorexia made my life hell but working through recovery made me a stronger, happier, and more balanced person. I started recovery over 15 years ago. I use all of the “tools” I learned during recovery still today for all aspects of life. You are doing so great and having a supportive family helps. Your mom and my mom could probably chat for hours.
I just love hearing your parents encouraging you
I don’t know you and I don’t personally suffer from an ED, but I watch all of your videos and I just want you to know how proud I am of you. A stranger all the way from South Africa, but I am so proud of you ❤️ keep going xxx
You're so brave and strong to put your journey out there for all of us to benefit from, especially because it does put you in a place where people can be unkind or critical. The thing to remember is those people commenting have their own mental and emotional issues and they are projecting them on you. You are not the issue, you're lovely and we all see how wonderful your doing and how you challenge yourself. At the end of the day, YOU know you're smashing your recovery and that every ounce or lb you earn is a win for you and your body. You got this babes!
This is soo true :)
At 0:50 her blush looks like a little heart and I think that fits ro perfectly 💕
I thought that, too!
I really love how your mother is supporting you by being a stern voice “you need to keep going”
I suffered with anorexia and I fully recovered but I feel guilty over how much weight I’ve gained even though I’m much healthier than I was before
I’ve just started my anorexia recovery journey and your videos are so so comforting ♥️ Big love Ro you can do it 💪🏻 xx
"you need to keep going young lady"
I suffered of anorexia too in the past, and recovered. its really tough, and I am very proud of you, even if I don't know you! you are doing amazing, keep having faith in your self, be brave, you can do it! you deserve to have a beautiful life, and be free from that horrible torture! big big hug, and what you doing here on you tube is incredibly inspiring xxx
Ro really proves to us the importance of having a good support system during any form of recovery. So proud and happy for you!
You're thanking us for 50 k subs, but girl, you have 61k now 😄😄
Im so sorry about the thoughless comments ppl post to your videos. No one is perfect. In fact there isnt a perfect person. In reality we are all unique and thats our own perfection. You are so very brave and so caring....for your awareness of the importance of self care & wanting to help others. I wish you all the best in the world for your recovery. Youre a beautiful young lady with a heart of gold. Please take care
I love you Ro! A struggled with an ED for most of my teenage life and I thought I was the only one for a long time... It helps so much to hear someone else be so open about what it’s like to recover. People who haven’t gone through something like this don’t realize the mental fight that we have to go through everyday. I’m very proud of you and I’m excited for your freedom ❤️
You are such an inspiration girl. I'm a recovering addict, and although different to what you've been through, listening to you talk the similarities have got me propa emotional. The mental gymnastics the disorder/ addiction your brain puts you through to try and justify behaviours, and the internal dialogue which twists lies and destruction until it seems logical and the right thing to do. Im right there with you. Just take it one day at a time...and when you're struggling and even that seems too much, just take it hour by hour. I've had days in early recovery where it was pretty much minute by minute. I would time 15minutes, then when I'd done that tell myself...ok, you can do another 15...literally until the day was gone and I felt a bit stronger. Having good support is a game changer and I'm so happy you have that. And now you have all of us rooting for you and taking every step with you. You've got this xxx
This helped me with my food guilt. I wanted a burger and I ate it. Its been a long time. Thx Ro you're such an inspiration!
I always struggle with thoughts on weigh day as well, but I just have to remind myself that I’m getting my life back every day I choose recovery and every time I gain that bit of weight ... plus you are glowing in this video and I love your personality:)
i've never felt so proud of a person i haven't even met, you are such an inspiration
I’ve been struggling with an ED for more than half my life.. it seems never ending and incredibly terrifying. Thank you thank you for being you and for getting me through these hard times. Thank you for making it just a little bit easier for me to eat. Sometimes I literally sit down and just try to eat watching you.. so thank you. You’re so strong. I’m so grateful to have found you
your videos give me so much comfort. thank you for everything you do, you deserve all the happiness in the world
That whole part about anorexia (or any ed) not being all about your physical health is SOO true. I have always been a "healthy weight" (at least according to BMI charts, but not necessarily for me personally) but that doesn't mean I don't deal with the same thoughts and actions underweight anorexics deal with. Although the downside to me not being underweight is that I've never been able to get diagnosed, which makes it really rough sometimes. Hopefully some day I can get a diagnoses though. 🙂
This is so true. At my worst even when I was just under BMI (UK size 4/6), the Dr just ignored it and told me to eat. My mum begged for help and was ignored because of my BMI number. I’m really muscular as workout a lot especially back then, my back was bruised from constant sit ups, I was having heart palpitations, I kept going faint, everyone commented on it as looked unwell and yet due to the BMI number I got no help and I used that as an excuse to tell myself I was fine. Even now I struggle but I am of a healthy weight and have recovered. I hope it’s different for people now but 15years ago, there was no support unless you were a low BMI and BMI really does mean nothing. An athlete can be classed as obese due to their muscle mass so they need to abolish it and look at the person as a whole!
@@NikkiAMurrayAvon It's no better where I live (in the Southern US). For 2+ years, my health declined terribly. I was in and out of the ER with malnutrition, stomach problems, SUPER low heart rate (40 BPM was my lowest, 50s was common)low electrolytes, low blood sugar, low blood pressure, low body temps, difficulty breathing. Despite EVERYTHING, Drs NEVER suspected ED, or even ASKED. THEN later, after I mentally woke up to what was going on myself and attempted to seek help, I was ignored. I have no thyroid, due to cancer, and my body isn't utilizing my replacement thyroid hormone. I've been low for years. And though I should have been GAINING massive amounts of weight, I lost 15 lbs. But still I SHOULD HAVE LOST Over 100+😕 considering my eating habits-and a normal person would have! But because I'm an Atypical Anorexic, meaning I don't present with an emaciated body, I'm COMPLETELY on my own.
Me to the Dr "I don't eat enough"
Dr: "What do you mean?"
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Therapist here, for the anorexia diagnosis a low weight is required which sucks, so you really can't get that specific diagnosis without being at a low weight. However, disordered eating happens at any weight and should be able to get treated by a therapist.
@@kellymccafferty550 Good to know! :)
*How lovely can someone be?*
Ro: YES💚
I love that you're being so honest and true to yourself. 💜
I love that she motivates herself. She is a beautiful young woman. You can do anything Ro!!!!
Sometimes I feel like my disorder doesn't matter enough to try and fix it, but then I see your videos and it reminds me how much better life could be without it. Thank you! ❤
Lowkey an ASMR day in the life. Your videos are very calming to watch Ro. It's amazing that even with everything going on in your head you can come across so chilled and down to earth. Keep going, proud of you ❤
i'm so unbelievably proud of you ro. you're such an angel and not only are you helping yourself, you're helping thousands of people who watch and may feel inspired to recover. i've lived through it too and survived and i know lots of people say it but it really does get better. it gets easier. it becomes something you don't have to think about constantly. and people who make ignorant comments just don't understand what ed's are like. maybe they don't intend to come across that way but really just don't pay them any mind and keep being strong because ultimately you are the most important in your life. keep it up girl!! we love you so much ❤❤❤
I'm so proud of you Ro watching you on tik tok for months and since your first youtube video, your doing amazing you can do this!!
Your eyes are so beautiful omg🥺🥺🥺💗💗💗
Right?!! They're amazing!!
You’re meant to be mystery parents guys you don’t want to expose yourself haha 😂 so funny
I was never diagnosed with eating disorder, but when I was 12-13 I wasn’t eating much, I had so many rules about food and I would hide food so my parents wouldn’t know if I ate and how much. It all ended when I was taken to hospital, on the edge of life and death and had a doctor tell me “you’ll start eating and put on some weight or you’ll be back here and we’ll feed you through tubes and needles.” I put on 15kg in less than a year, it was a hell but I’m happy it’s over. It’s been more than 10 years, I still fight some of the food rules but I can say I’ve learnt to enjoy food
Your humor is my favorite thing ever
It's always not about the physical changes that you see Inna person, it's the mental and behaviour changes you see too!
I can literally see so much more life, energy and happiness on your face and am so very proud of where you stand in your journey right now and can't wait to see the journey till your full recovery
Loads of love and support
Keep going! Recovery isn't far!
❤️❤️❤️
Please, Do a Q&A with mom and dad! We'd love that! Luv ya 💜
your parents are right. You don't deserve any more agony. You deserve LIFE and HAPPINESS. You got this Ro 🤍
uhhh I'm always so excited for ur videos. It really keeps me motivated in my own recovery :)
sweet ro, i’m so grateful for these videos you have no idea. i have weigh day this wednesday and i’m on the cusp of going to in-patient treatment...but your progress and encouragement as well as your family’s encouraging words have helped so much! sending love! xxx
it's amazing to see you recognise how hard it is and still challenge yourself because you have such a strong confidence that it will get better. super inspiring!
Hi, just want to say as someone who does not struggle w anorexia (but I do have other food issues) your channel is helpful for us all. Had a really hard day yesterday and watched this in bed this morning and watching you actively take steps to care for care yourself helped set me up for success today. You’re really so motivating on all fronts. Thank you! Just hearing you negate self sabotaging thoughts with truths you know but don’t necessarily feel at the moment...what a skill that we can all learn to apply. For anyone w anxiety or depression or anything that falls into that category. Really inspiring ❤️
I completely get it. It took me time to recover and undo the damage. I was on deaths door. Low blood levels, no iron. Two key things needed to survive. Today I'm learning to be a weight i am confortable with. It teeters about 5 pounds but I'm ok with that. I think you have been brave and strong enough to face it all in. I'm here if you ever want to talk. PS I'm vegan too. ♥
Thank you for documenting the reality of having an eating disorder, I've been in your position too and can honestly say recovery is the best thing I've ever chosen. Please keep going and remember that weight is only an indication of physical health and a baseline, 'overshooting' is completely normal. Keep fighting your fear foods and challenging yourself! One of the best pieces of advice I can give is honestly eat EVERY food. Vegan/vegetarian/whatever is and could be another form of restriction which someone recovering from a restrictive disorder shouldn't engage with but you're doing so well and please keep going and never give up. Sending lots of love, I can't wait to see you blossom and flourish into a beautiful life without anorexia's bs.
Yes!! I love that you're able to block the negative! The glow up is real honey... and I know its bound to be harder than what we actually see, but we can see that you're doing it and we're SO very proud of you! ❤
You are looking healthier and healthier in every new video of yours, and I am so impressed and relieved and inspired at the same time! You are amazing!
I know this is far behind your journey but I can’t thank you enough for being so candid and real about your journey. You are an absolute treasure and I’m so grateful for the content you create!
You are so beautiful, and we all KNOW u can do this!!!! You are so inspiring 2 myself, and all girls everywhere who deal with an eating disorder. Know from my struggles, as in drug addiction, it may never fully go away,but u can ALWAYS remind yourself of where u came from, and where u are not going again!!! Best wishes, and take care love!!!
Huge congratulations for the picnic. It can be strange eating in a different place (away from the normal table) trying different foods, making choices on portion sizes (similar to a buffet) balancing the plate on your lap etc... As well as it being weigh day. So many recovery wins. Probably more than I mentioned. X
Looked beautiful where you were 🌸🏵️🌱🌼🌻🌿🍃
I notice your comments in a lot of videos I watch. We clearly have the same taste on RUclips 😉 but I just wanted to say you always leave such positive and thoughtful comments it’s so lovely! ☺️💛
@@natashaj4113 hahaha. Yeah obviously watching the same type of content 😅❤️ Aww bless you thank you so much. I always try to spread positivity and help others with this illness especially... Hope you are doing OK. Sending huge healing hugs xxx
@@harmonyhope1709 hope you’re okay too ☺️ sending lots of happy healing hugs 🤗 xxx
@@natashaj4113 oh bless you thank you x❤️
loved the style of this video! you are truly amazing. xoxo
You are my biggest inspiration! I love you so much and I feel really safe when I watch you. I love that your so dedicated to recovery. Thank you💕
I love you soooo much!!! I totally relate to your mental struggles. I'm glad you speak up about the weight vs. mental health struggles. I have struggled with AN at allllll spectrums of weight... "you're not sick enough" thoughts" have been horrible at higher weights due to weight stigma. AN can occur at all weights... even higher than average BMI. The horrible part is that people suffering with EDs at higher rates are often complimented by their discipline when really it's ED related whereas when we get underweight, we are finally validated. I think that's often something that makes it harder to recover and more isolating for those struggling when not underweight. I know you know this.. I am just venting it to the universe. :-)
I swear with each video she gets brighter and happier 😭🤎 so proud of her recovery so far
these nice encouraging words from you and your parents just make my heart melt everytime
I’ve been following your journey for quite a while and most of the time I’m a “quiet” follower, but I feel the need to say:
Girl, you’re doing amazing. I can only guess how hard it is for you every day, but you can be SO proud of yourself and how far you already become! Keep going, your such a sweet soul and you deserve to live a life you enjoy ♥️
I’ve followed you’re recovery journey for a little while now. I started crying at 6:20 because what you’re doing in recovery is so inspirational! For the last few years I’ve been suffering with binge eating disorder alone, I’ve tried to explain to my boyfriend and it’s so hard for him to understand. A lot of people just think I’m overweight making me having a problem with food isn’t actually an issue and I should just diet! You’ve inspired me to go all in! I’m now eating a whole food, plant based diet. Eating whenever I’m hungry, honouring my hunger cues. My goal is to have a healthy relationship with food. Everybody deserves to eat! Thank you ❤️
that's so wonderful!! you're amazing. and you're also helping the planet and animals eating plant based! everyone is worthy of food, and everyone is worthy of support. you can be struggling at any weight. keep fighting, you got this!!
i only just started recovery from anorexia and your videos have been a huge help/comfort. thank you so much ro 💗💗
you can do this!! don't give up!! it will get easier, i promise. keep fighting for yourself ❤
Your videos always make me insanely happy 🥺
this might seem random but I just wanted to say your hair is so beautiful!!!! And it's been amazing to watch your journey, you are an amazing person and so much stronger than you think. I had my problems with food in the past and watching you now is just incredibly inspiring. Stay safe and stay strong, you got this :)
Your videos are the most relaxing thing to watch! Many years ago I suffered with disordered eating and lost a significant amount of weight and I always felt very ill. Then five years ago I met my future fiancé! He and his family encouraged me to eat more and I lost my fear of food. I’ve now gained a lot of weight, I feel sick whenever I see my body, and my clothes feel so uncomfortable. Part of me wishes I was ill again, and watching your videos reminds me to stay strong and listen to my body. Thank you! x
I just realized you became my comfort youtuber. I was having a bad day and found myself checking if you posted a new video. I personally don't have an ed so I watch for your inspiring strength and courage, your great personality, your authenticity and your soothing/calm vibes. You are such an amazing person and you deserve all the health and happiness in the world! Thank you! X
thank YOU for being here xxx
"the weather couldn't have been kinder" hdrahajakak your mum is an angel I CAN'T
you make me tear up every time!! it may not mean much to you coming from a stranger, but i feel so proud of you. you’re doing great ro! 💜
i always watch your videos whenever i eat because number 1 any video in general helps me distract myself from the thoughts and number 2 i feel less alone that i’m not the only one who struggles
Every week you look so much better. I am so proud of you! Sending you all of my love. You go girl! 💝
Even though you might not see this, I just want to say how incredibly proud of you I am. I know how difficult it can be to honor your hunger and its something that I've personally struggled with. You've helped me so much and have made my recovery so much better, so Thank you.
Those are the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen ❤️ watching you is so comforting ❤️ thank u❤️
Thank you! I haven't had an eating disorder, but I have lived with hate towards my body for a while. Your videos help me soo much to realize what life is all about. Eat whatever you want and don't live your life with restrictions or food rules. I feel so much better towards myself now when I ignore them and just let myself enjoy everything. You are such an inspiration and I look forward to see more of you on journey to being free from anorexia. Sending love and support from Sweden ❤❤
Love your videos because it’s really just like hanging out with a good friend ^^ they’re really comforting to me
