Awesome video Maddie because you did it!! You didn’t go back to Ed - be proud of yourself. 👏🏻. You are helping so many people. Keep up the awesome work.
Maddie well done for pulling yourself back and being more active in recovery. Have you listened to maintenance phase? It's a podcast and I think it's super useful to debunk the diet culture lies
I have also had problems with exercise in the past and whenever I feel the urge to over do it I think that ending up sweaty miserable and very tired are not signs that I had a good workout, I am not a high performance athlete I do it because I like the move my body and that can mean doing other things apart from cardio and strength training, can be dance,walk, even cleaning my house with very loud music, thanks maddie for this video!!
I think if you are exercising with the purpose of moving your body as opposed to weight loss then that is great! Dancing is such a fun workout! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Hi Maddie, I haven’t commented before but have been watching your videos for a while now. Thank you so much for having this channel- I am positive it is making more of a difference than you know! Everything you are saying is 100% what my eating disorder therapist would say! I appreciate your honesty and how you share your experience of recovery. I think sometimes people don’t realize how much of a mental game the Ed is. This video is great!!! I am definitely going to be thinking of it when all my coworkers remind me they are on diets, I see a magazine at the grocery store, or an ad on tv. Thank you for helping me combat this destructive societal norm. ❣️
Jaclyn, thank you so much for your comment ❤️ The whole reason I started my channel was to hopefully inspire others and help people struggling feel less alone. EDs really are such a mental game and it's hard to challenge intrusive thoughts when there are so many triggers around. So glad you enjoyed the video! I'm here for you, keep going! 💪❤️
So proud of you Maddie for pushing through this uncomfortable time. I have definitely experienced many relapses due to bad body image and a strong desire to go back to weight loss and restriction. It is SO tempting to go back sometimes, especially because it feels like this "quick and simple fix." You have such a great perspective on what going back would actually mean for you. Your perseverance is truly inspiring and really motivates me to keep going. We got this! 💕
It is so hard to keep going in today's society which is why we all need to be supportive to one another. I am so thankful for my RUclips community as it has helped me so much ❤️ It is difficult to not go back to old habits so we just need to keep fighting! There will be ups and downs but you just need to ride that waves and not go back. I am proud of you for continuing to fight 💪 I hope you have a good week :)
Thank you Maddie once again for such a open and relatable video. I too struggle with OCD, I wash my hands 15 times a day if not more, can not stand things off schedule, and organize everything, I too have struggled with rigid excercise routines. But you are strong and its so amazing to see you coming out of it, that gives me hope. I am happy that you are doing well, Its wonderful to see your positivity even when I have been failing. you have such a glowing personality never lose that. enjoy your summer
@@maddiejaneec your so kind thank you, and ya things being of schedule or even others being late or early drives me crazy, you are so strong and amazing thank you for all you do 😄you have made my day again. also happy shark week🦈🦈🦈🦈 not sure if you still like sharks but I love them. Hope you have a wonderful day and godbless
I am so glad you are enjoying these videos! I actually really do enjoy making them :) It's nice to just talk and get some things off my chest ❤️ I am also happy to hear that I made you happy! I hope you have a good week 🌞
Omg!!! This was amazing video!!! I loved how you just said what you were thinking… about your arms… I have those intrusive thoughts… I’m trying to ignore them as much as possible… and I love that you have to reassure yourself you did enough… I have trouble with that too… I love that you are not lying to yourself… so hard to stop doing… I’m sorry I don’t think I commented last video, I did watch… I had so much going on that I couldn’t think straight… the only thing I like was when you were checking your incoming messages…
Emily! So glad you liked the video :) I get intrusive thoughts a lot and am sure I am not the only one. I think lying to yourself is just doing harm overall so it's always important to be honest to others and yourself. My video from last week was a bit all over the place but I appreciate your support, as always ❤️
I hate to tell you this… but your body is downright amazing!!! I hope that doesn’t trigger you!!! I think it’s pretty close to perfect… I don’t see ANYTHING you should try to change… I see beauty and strength… a glowing smile, sparkling eyes and healthy hair… what you have others are in search of…
Aww thank you ❤️ Not triggering haha It's hard to see myself from others perspective but I also need to remind myself that (I hope) people like me for ME not for the way I look. The same goes for everyone. Your comment really means a lot to me so thank you ❤️ I hope you have a good week!
Hi beautiful! Love this video too! I’m so sorry that you struggling with these changes.. We are so so brainwashed to pursue thinness…I get all of the chatter in your head. It can be a constant battle. Thank you for helping normalize this crap. I want to hear your wins, wobbles and even failures. And, I want you to know that you deserve to heal, rest and get on with your life. Anorexia can hijack your whole life. You have an entire life ahead of you. 💗💗💗💗
Thank you so much for your comment. It really is a constant battle but we just have to keep going! I think it's important to be open and honest on my channel so that people feel less alone. You also deserve the best and I hope you are doing well. Take care and I hope you have a good week ❤️
I cannot believe the Maddie from last week is the same girl today!! What an improvement in your outlook on food/exercise! You really are recovering and by the way I'm not sure how you see your body through your eyes but through mine you look perfect which is insane because no body is perfect. I workout for 1 hr 3 times a week and that is enough. In answer to your question my favourite animal is a rabbit. 🐰 This video was so interesting and you make a lot of sense. Have a fun week. 😘
Thank you Dianne ❤️ It really was a much different week and I think a lot of it has to do with trying to think positively but also acknowledge the hard moments. I love that your favourite animal is a rabbit 🐰❤️ Thank you for the support, as always, and I hope you have a great week!
Aaah I loved this video!!! Such a good reminder for me…since it seems like lately every time I look in the mirror I see everything about my body that I want to change…I can’t be the only one that feels this way??? But I have cross country coming up, and I want to maintain my healthy weight so I can run, because enjoying high school and running is way more important that looking a certain way or, as you said, shrinking your body. It’s also suuuuper hot in Minnesota too…. Anywaaaaaaaay keep it up Maddie! Hugs to you and Fig!!!
So glad you liked the video! It's crazy how much our minds distort our perception of how we look. I still find it very hard to look at myself neutrally in the mirror and not pick out my flaws. It is important to take care of yourself so you can run! I recently hurt my knee and have to step away from running for a while. Don't forget to wear good running shoes and stretch! You are so right about enjoying high school. Your friends and family love you for YOU not the way you look. Proud of you! Hugs back to you from Fig and I 🐰❤️
😀💕xx I love your honesty Maddie. I wish I could get to your way of thinking. I have many issues but so firmly entrenched that I find change so very hard at my age of 66. Many thanks for r your vlogs. Lots of love.
Thank you for the comment ❤️ It has definitely taken a lot of reinforced positive thoughts to get to where I am now. I am sure that you can still change some things regardless of your age. There is always time :) Love back to you!
hey Maddie! I love to see that you’re doing better than last week. I got a bit worried after watching that video but I’m glad you seem to have moved past that. The new video style is more entertaining in my opinion. It makes us feel like we’re having a real conversation with a real life Maddie, it flows very nicely so I’d keep it that way! We’re experiencing the hottest summer ever recorded here in Rome. I’m laying in bed right now, no AC or fans, and every inch of my body is sweating 😭 The fridge is my best friend. I open it every hour for a breath of fresh air 😂 It’s been this way since May! I’m so sick of the heat. Good thing I’m moving to the Netherlands in two weeks lmao. I meant to ask you, have you considered changing your profile picture? I hope you have a good week and I look forward to next weeks video!
Elena, thank you so much for your comment ❤️ I am definitely doing better than I was last week and I am proud of myself for pushing through. I am glad to hear that you like the new videos style - I enjoy making them ❤️ I am sorry to hear about the heat wave in Rome. It is hot here as well but I am sure it's not quite as bad compared to where you are. I hope that it clears up for you soon! Exciting to hear that you are moving to the Netherlands! I have been to Amsterdam and absolutely loved it! I haven't thought about changing my profile picture but maybe I should! It is a bit dated now 😂 I hope you have a good week as well and take care of yourself! ❤️
Dear maddie, i forgot to say that you may response in your own language. Sweet greetings and have a nice sunday. I enjoy your posts and they give me a good vibe.
I also really love Nakd bars, but they're so expensive 😭 Used to have them for nearly every snack time during my ip admission, made everything so much better ngl.
They are pricey... Thankfully I got them at Bulk Barn so they were not as much as they are at a regular retail price. I'm sure there are some good recipes online where you can make them at home in batches!
@@maddiejaneec ahh so lucky. Whenever I make any type of batches, whether it's muffins or plain up bread, I'd devour them all. So I wouldn't risk following a recipe haha 💀💕 I'll just pray and hope for a discount someday. Or just spoil myself and get nakd bars because I should definitely include some type of protein source in my diet.
I don't have any personal trips planned but I am going on a scuba diving assignment later in August to write about shipwrecks! With my new job I don't have much time for travel but thankfully get to do a little bit through work! I do miss teaching yoga and unfortunately haven't even had much time to practice but I am hoping to get back into it :)
Helloooo! I think its amazing how u hendle the disorder ✌ You are powerfull and i love you that way! ur looking soooooo happy!!!! ur doing cool stuff , ur changing things, youre a role modle, and i wish i had a friend like u ! And wish to hug u and Fig🐰 lol i love u hun. Stay strong stay true to yourself!! Muuaahhh ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much! I am so grateful for the support ❤️ I wouldn't be here without my amazing RUclips community! I will give Fig a hug for you :) Take care!

Ugh I hate when things are off schedule! It throws off my entire day, I need routine… You’ve got this, we can get through this together ❤️💪
@@maddiejaneec your so kind thank you, and ya things being of schedule or even others being late or early drives me crazy, you are so strong and amazing thank you for all you do 😄you have made my day again. also happy shark week🦈🦈🦈🦈 not sure if you still like sharks but I love them.

@@oceanarnold1533 Yes! Happy shark week! Sharks are definitely still my favourite animal 🦈❤️ Sending love to you!
@@maddiejaneec thats cool, sending my best wishes
I love these sit-down videos. they’re so genuine and I can relate so much. you made me very happy today, thank you very much. ❤️
I am so glad you are enjoying these videos! I actually really do enjoy making them :) It's nice to just talk and get some things off my chest ❤️ I am also happy to hear that I made you happy! I hope you have a good week 🌞
Awwww! Finished the video and saw Fig joining your meeting. Soooo cuuuute! I love her!

I love that! "Figgles"

Heel erg bedankt! Ik waardeer uw opmerking. Ik hoop dat je een fijne week hebt ❤️

Dear Maddie, I‘m cheerleading you right now!
Awww thank you ❤️☺️
My dad has his helicopter license and he lets me “drive it” from time to time…so much fun 😊. You should keep this as a future endeavour 👍🏻
That is so cool! I would love to get my pilots license one day :)

Any trips planned? You never mentioned how the work trip went. Do you miss teaching yoga everyday? I love your honesty.
I don't have any personal trips planned but I am going on a scuba diving assignment later in August to write about shipwrecks!

Do you have a PO box we could send you something? I'd love to send you some of my favorite US bars/snacks.
I don't have a PO box but others have asked so maybe I should look into it :) I would love to try some fun American snacks!
