Anyone here struggle with food addiction and binge/emotional eating?
theFitty Yes me, I have been struggling with my disorder for over ten years now. I'm not overweight, but my eating is definitely an issue
theFitty yes 😒
I am struggle wiht binge eating now. i have anorexia but suddenly it change to binge, i am not overweight. now, i try to overcome it and get my period and hair loss back. please pray for me:)
That sucks :/ what remedies have you tried? Any support systems?
You're totally not alone on that!
Wow isn't that crazy - how one little comment by a friend can trigger such a psychological reaction in a young, vulnerable person! I'm glad Instagram and its whole subculture wasn't around until I finished high school. I'm not sure how I would have handled it as I already hated my body without perfect girls scrolling down my newsfeed 24/7 to compare myself to! My view on bodies has (thankfully) certainly changed since, and I love my own and everyone else's!
Such a lovely comment and I 100% agree Jodie, IG was around in my last year at school but was very new and I never used it but I think I would be so much worse if I had. I'm really happy that you're loving your own skin and other's too, I feel the same as you and see so much more beauty now than I ever did! xxx
This was quite personal for me to share but a lot of you have asked me to post this so here it is! There’s no step by step guide on how to recover from an ED but for me it was all about finding the root cause (my black and white thinking) and working on fixing that and educating myself. The rest followed as a result (: Love you all xx
thank you for being so honest with us, it's amazing how genuine you are
Unfortunately I'm a binge eater as well and I'm on the stage where I'm getting help and starting to realise that there are other ways of looking nice other than being thin... I'm still fighting with my disorder and I haven't figured out how to win completely but you have been a huge inspiration even before I knew you had the same disorder... now I see that I might actually have a chance of succeeding :)
Natacha Océane , I am eating healthy and working out but cant lose weight can you give me some tips please I really need your advice
check your thyroid hormones!
I agree with Julia B, check your thyroid but also if you do have the economic ability, perhaps try going to a nutritionist for some time, perhaps they will be able to figure out what kinds of food and macros fit your body in order to lose weight :)
I lost 45kg with anorexia nervosa before I found weight lifting. I'm now at a healthy 1.73m and 61 kg, looking forward to gain more and more muscle mass. Thank you for being wonderful, Nat. ❤️
Beatriz Simões it’s 3 years late but I hope you’ve accomplished your goals :)
You are honestly such an inspiration to me. I have been through a transformation myself I went from a size 16US to a size 6US in 8 months, I had lost 40lbs and everyone was telling me how good I looked but they didn't know the sad reality. I was purging 2 out of 3 meals a day, over working out, I was on a low carb diet, and my parents said that I looked dead. Like I was SO pale and had no energy, it got to the point where my own mother had to hand feed her 17 year old daughter 2 crackers and cheese because I hadn't eaten in 2 days and I was crying my eyes out while she was feeding me. I am now 19, a size 8US working hard to become a strong, radiant and empowering woman (such as yourself) and I want to thank you for that. Your videos are my go to if I need advice or a meal plan or just anything! I hope that I can meet you one day and thank you for what you've done for me. Keep helping and inspiring people, you have a gift. Love Meg xoxo
Crying reading this, I hope you are doing well now! Eating disorders really are horrible to go through and I am so proud of you for getting through it and I hope your recovery goes/has gone well!
I'm recovering from anorexia... this video made me cry but it was so nice to hear how you dealt with it!
Thank you Swarna, proud of you for starting recovery (: keep at it xxx
hello everyone ! this isn't mentioned a lot but also over-excessive working out or exercising is a ed as well. I have a very unhealthy realtionship with exercise overall but tonight I'm not gonna exercise and I will give myself a break! I hope everyone will feel better if they are struggling with an ed just remember you ARE loved and you ARE beautiful 💗💕
Thank you, I am crying right now and don't know what I have to do honestly. Could you please advise me
orthorexia
I hope you're doing better! And hopefully you noticed that when you give yourself a break and proper recovery time, that you perform better the next day!
I didn’t realize that I was over exercising. I wasn’t feeling quite right so I decided to completely stop and let my body tell me when it was ok to start up again…. It was 8 months before my body was asking for movement. Sort of like intuitive eating. Now when I exercise, it’s a normal amount and always something I enjoy. I DO NOT over exercise anymore. I want to feel good not horrible like I did when I over exercised.
I am literally stuck in that first cycle you described some days I go to the gym and eat 800 calories other days I sit at home and cry and stuff my face untill I'm sick and I have tried so hard to stop but I just can't and I have lost no weight.
You're video inspire me so much to try and change and I really really want to it's just easier said than done love you Natasha xx
Gemma Cameron You're eating way to less...so if you're doing this for quite some time now, your body is in the "flight or fight" mode. It's actually a lot harder to lose weight in this state, by eating this little (your body holds on to every calorie ingested just to keep you alive), compared to eating aproximately 500 kcal more ( body receives the signal that you are well fed and starts the fat burning process). I've been where you are, and it might be surprising that eating more can lead you to greater fat loss, but it worked for me. You can do it!
P. S: I'm a medical student..😊" let's put the science back in strength"
Ahh yes, it definitely isn't easy. My way of thinking so rigidly was engrained in me since the age of 10, so it was hard to accept a lot of truths that I'd ignored for a decade. But the first step for me was recognising and acknowledging that I wasn't behaving normally around food or towards myself. You just have to work hard on it every day and not feel embarrassed about talking it through with someone you feel comfortable around. But I believe in you Gemma, it will take time, but you can do it xxxx
Andreea S. wow yes I understand what your saying I suppose it's just hard for me to comprehend in my mind that maybe eating more is the way to go but I really want to get better thanks for your advice xx
Natacha Océane wow thank you so much for replying I literally love your channel so much and kind of freaking out right now that you responded, I try and remind myself that other people have been in the place that I was in and have managed to get better for example you and I really want to change my mindset from trying to get skinny to trying to be healthy and fit and your videos really help me with this your such a positive role model and inspiration xx
Aww thank you Gemma! If you want to change your mindset you will, it will just take time (: I hope my channel can help you through your journey xxx
thank you so much for being open and honest about your experiences with us :) you are my favourite YT person by so so far
Thankyou so much for posting this, I’m so relieved to know that I’m not the only one. Watching your videos is helping me get out of this perpetual cruel cycle and this rut I’m in as I’m too embarrassed to talk about my disorder. You’re so inspirational, and beautiful now more than ever, never stop making videos! You’re the best! Thankyou tonnes & tonnes! Xxx
Woah this is crazy, i've been sufferring from an ED for 5 years but this year its gotten so much worse. I recently found your videos and they made me so happy bc you just look happy and healthy and carefree. Especially your cheat day videos, they make me feel like one day I will have a good relationship with food. And finding out that you had to deal with disordered eating makes me want to try harder to recover! I am seeing a dr to help me get better..I want to be genuinely happy with myself for once. I really look up to you and your videos make me smile:) so thank you♡
I think you are really really brave. I also struggled with an eating disorder as a guy it isnt as common as with girls but it definetly changes your life. I watch alot of youtube videos and ive never subscribed to any channel until now, you deserve alot more subscribers, keep up the good work!!!
Thank you so much for posting this. This is exactly what I'm going through right now and watching this has made me feel like I'm suddenly not alone anymore. 💕
Aww Shannen, you're not alone xx Just keep taking it step by step, healing takes time. And don't be afraid to talk about it xxx Lots of love xx

your videos have inspired me so much to change up my workout routines so that I'm focusing on fun, performance, and creativity instead of the mundane dumbbell or cardio routines. thank you thank you thank you for being so real and honest and just a joy to watch! I'm so excited to see how my newfound/rediscovered joy of playing around and being fit progresses this year. and thank you for sharing your tips and journey as well. such a pleasure to watch!
This hit close to home.. Really means a lot that you shared this. Thank you Natacha you're such a beam of light💛
yo, this is the most relatable video I've ever seen re: eating disorders for me. You've inspired me to talk about my experiences in a video- I spoke to a friend of mine recently about my body image and she said it was odd that i was a guy who had these issues. You're so freakin' great- thanks for making this :)
I'm so HAPPY you got through your eating disorder! I just want you to know that you really inspire me to get stronger and that you're my drive and motivation to push myself and become better at my workout every day!
I love how your posts synchronize with my current battles. Starting my comeback after a long period of time wandering off course.
I'm very fond of your rare candour.
Have a pleasant week! 😊
So good that someone talks about it. There are a lot of people who are afraid to talk about it and hearing the stories of other people kinda feels like you're not alone
Thank you Milena. I think it's easy to avoid this kind of conversation, because people who don't relate find it hard to put themselves in that situation. But I'm glad it helps people feel less alone, for me, that's the point of social media xxx
This video has changed the way I veiw my weight/body. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for this video! Love your content, and your information. You're so positive and loving!!❤️
I really really appreciate you making this video, I understand how hard it must be, I'm recovering from an ED & honestly this just gave me another push in the right direction. You're amazing!! I love your videos xx
I LOVEEE THIS! I went through anorexia to binge eating disorder and very slowly making it back to normality! I love your videos as you are always so positive and have a great relationship with food. Well done for being where you are today, you are such a strong and pretty young lady :) xx
love love love your channel and the fact that you're from England makes me feel so at home when watching your vids!
Aww thank you Susana! Hats off to you studying at ICL and making time for youtube videos! Something my supervisors never understood lol!
thank you for this video. just, thank you. your channel has pushed me to re-evaluate my relationship to my body, my training, and the food i eat. i couldn't be more thankful for your inspiration.
I honestly have never stumbled upon a RUclipsr who has been so relatable. I am currently overcoming the same eating disorder and have tried all the same diets and eating regimens as you stated. To hear your story and see your mental and physical improvement is so inspiring. Thank you for this.
I love this video so much. I’ve struggled with anorexia/BED throughout high school until now and I didn’t really know I had a problem. I was naturally skinny all through high school but I didn’t realize.. then I graduated and could eat whatever I wanted and gained 30 pounds. Now I’m a month into working out and eating healthier, and I feel so much better about myself already! A big part of it is thanks to you xx
I get back to your videos every now and then to remind myself to trust the process ❤ Thank you , you don't know how much you're helping me .
+رهف Rahaf ahh this is so kind of you and I'm so glad my videos are helping (: , it does take time and a lot of work but you will get through it
I am so glad you decided to share your story with us! I think this is a big step. I have anorexia since two and a half years and I didn't talk about it with anyone I really would just pretend everything is fine even though you could really see that it was not. I'm really trying hard to get better now and I'm getting help too but if I hadn't told anybody I don't know where I would stand now. People like you inspire me honestly you just made my day much better❤
Thank you so much ! For me you are the best youtuber! You are just so sympathic and you talk about everything so openly. You give me the feeling that I am not alone. I got some similiar problems with my eating behavior and my body! I can't look at myself without thinking how fat and ugly I am. I count calories but on the other side sometimes I stuff myself with food and feel so guilty in the next moment that I could cry. After that I exercise or run,maybe not as hard as you did but I do. My friends don't realise how much food and my body already dominate my life - I really eat less in school or in the afternoon but when I eat,I eat too much so nobody recognises my problem. Sometimes I was under 1000 calories per day just too feel better and "look better&skinnier". I can't eat something without thinking about how much calories I just ate. I see all this skinny girls in my school or on social media and can't understand why I don't look like them. This all started some months ago- I really don't know why. Before this time right now I ate what I liked to eat,most of the time healthy but also unhealthy thing but I didn't care. Now it's just important for me that I plan my food and exercises for the next days and be sure that I don't eat too much calories! I only watch youtube videos about food or workouts or google how much calories my meals have ! If someone asks me I wouldn't say that I have a eating disorder but I know that I have a problem!
But your videos are just so motivating and helpful! You are a beautiful woman! So just keep going!
I can't even imagine how much courage it took for you to share this with everyone.. I want to give you a massive hug and thank you 🤗💖
Wow thank you for sharing your story! It only illustrates the strength of your character. I admire the way you tackled such an incredibly difficult challenge. You are a true inspiration!
I am so thankfull for this video.. I have had an eating disorder for 5 years and I have been admitted to a lot of hospitals and clinics and right now I am recovered from my anorexia. I am eating healthy and working out but mostly loving myself and my body. I watch SO much videos of you and you are so inspiring thank you!!
I am in the process of gaining some
personal appreciation after my eating disorder. Thank you for sharing something so close to your heart - it's driven me forward another day ❤️
You are so inspiring and relatable. I feel like a lot of girls felt this way growing up, even from a as young as 10, I know I was/am definitely one of them. Thank you for the openness and the smiles, love your positive videos ! Thank you for sharing !
Really brave of you to do this video. It is so incredibly relatable. You are truly a wonderful person and such a great inspiration
It's so amazing that you can post something that genuin and honest, thanks for being so big of an inspiration! 💜
Thank you Kristina, that's so kind of you! Lots of love xx
currently struggling a bit with my self esteem and relationship with food, and everytime i feel like I'm having bad/self destructive thoughts i come back to natacha's videos because she makes me feel super inspired to love myself more and to heal from this situation. anyone else?
Thank you for sharing this with all of us. I've been battling negative obsession with my body for years and now I'm also dealing with guilt about eating certain foods or amounts. Your video practically brought my to tears. It's very difficult to curb tendencies to obsess over these things for me, especially because I'm a dancer and I perform on stage. It's difficult when you feel that there is a specific way your body should look to be acceptable or true to your craft. I don't think I actually restrict myself that much, but then there are times that I don't eat much, even in weeks that are full of rehearsals. Then I feel like sometimes on the weekends or at night I end up eating the world. Thank you for making this video, I really connected with it and I'm inspired by it.
Very much an inspiration. I still struggle everyday not to go back to that dark place but I know I don't ever want to again. My body doesn't deserve it to be treated that way. Thanks for sharing this!
Hey I'm so happy for you you overcame your ED and are able to enjoy what you're doing! I just want you to know that you're a very strong person, not only in a physical way but also your personality. You're my greatest YT inspiration so keep up what you're doing :D
I think you are my new favorite RUclipsr! So real and inspirational. Wish I had found your channel sooner! 👌🏼👍🏼
I've struggled with food and sometimes I still do. I messed up my back yesterday deadlifting so I've been at home eating crap right now. Glad you came out with something like this and opening yourself up to us.
This is so relatable. Its exactly what I have just come out of around 6 months ago. I used to do the night workouts at 3am as well when my parents were asleep and to break it I had to sleep in the same room as mum. I am so so grateful that that time has finished for you because it is horrible to continuously battle yourself! xxxx THANKS SO MUCH
Hello ❤ I just want u to know that ur videos inspire me so much I will be forever grateful for u and I hope you never stop making videos ❤
Thank you sweetie, I'm not planning on stopping any time soon so you'll be seeing lots more videos! xxx
This was the first video of yours I ever watched and I'm so thankful to have found you. It's been so cool watching you grow up. I love you 🫶🏻
Thank you for your video! I've dealt with anorexia for years and I find what you sayed really helpfull. You are such a strong girl!!!
Hey Natacha, I love your videos so so so much. I've been struggling with food and diet and exercise for a very long time. Over the summer, I did relentless amounts of cardio and cutting in order to achieve this 'Perfect' skinny look that I have built up in my head that I need. I am still growing, I am still learning how to get out of this cycle, but watching your videos has shown me that by doing strength and resistance training I can build up my metabolism and eat more, but look so much better than how I do now (my arms are like sticks it's disgusting). You have given me the courage to begin taking on my eating disorder, because I'm going to start resistance training, which means I have to increase my calories. After being in a deficit for so long, this idea scares the living hell out of me, but you have come so far and grown so much and you have recovered so well, that you have given me the confidence to believe that maybe I can too. Food is an obsession for me - it's taken over my life. What will I eat, when will I eat? All the time I am thinking about food. What I wish I could eat, what I wish I could binge on, what foods I can fit into my calorie 'limit'. All my free time is spent browsing pictures of food on instagram, videos of calorie challenges on youtube, or just browsing recipes that I feel I could eat if the calorie count was lower. I don't know how to stop my food obsession, I am hoping that as I do resistance training and strength training, that as I up my calories and start eating carbs again (something that I have also been scared of doing), that the cravings will die out because I'm limiting myself less. I don't know if I will ever get better, I don't know if my food obsession will stop, and I don't know if resistance/strength training will help me feel happier and more satisfied with how I look, but i do know this: My obsession with food and cardio has taken my life from me. I spend so much time worrying about what I will eat or when I will eat - I won't eat the same meals as my family, won't go out with my friends. I have pushed everyone out unintentionally, because of this relationship I have built up with food. And I don't want that anymore. I don't want food to control me anymore. i want more than anything to be able to go back a year or two, when I could look at a plate and see it as tasty food, rather that seeing calories and numbers and what I am or am not allowed to eat. 2019 is the year I focus on strength training. I'm going to lift weights, and do leg and abs exercises, too. But not because I wan't to look 'good' or because I want to eat more. I want to challenge myself. I want to watch myself grow and get stronger. I want to make progress. And hopefully, everything else will just fall into place.
So thank you, Natacha. Thank you for inspiring me, for showing me that there might actually be a way out of all of this. A productive way out of all of this. Thank you for showing me that a future exists. Thank you for showing me that I can have my life back, that life isn't just exercise, food, work. I'm going to try so, so, so hard. For me, for my family, for my friends. I love you Natacha, thank you.
thank you for this!! ive commented on how incredibly positive and wonderful I find your videos...but this one is particularly great! i have bulimia and im working on recovering atm. I have a similar backstory to you and this is super helpful to listen to. thanks again for sharing this I know it is a difficult topic 😊
Omg I feel super identified, thanks to your videos I feel great and I have found something that I am passionate about,weight lifting...
You have got me out of the physical and psychological stagnation in which I found myself!
Very grateful that there are people like you
keep it up
Congratulations for your work❤️
Thank you Juana! I'm so happy you're passionate about weight lifting! Have a lovely start to the week xxx
Thank you for sharing this Natacha, I have heard many peoples fitness journey's, but yours is the only one that mirrors mine identically. It's so inspiring to see someone has been able to come out of it like you have, at 22 and after 5 years of dieting its only in the last year I have realised my problem! but you have helped me so much this last year. keep doing what you're doing!x
This is so amazing. Thank you for sharing this because it couldn't have been easy! I love you and your content
Just genuinely thank you for your sharing! I've been in the disorder phase just like you did, now it has been better indeed but I won't say it's fully recovered. Hope I will eventually be like you and have a healthy relationship with food! Thank you again! Btw, love your training clips!
Thank you so much for sharing, Natacha! This has helped me immensely, and I appreciate this video so much. Thank you, again!
Thank you so much for posting this. Your story is very similar to mine. These days I try to focus my training and eating on how i want to perform rather than how I want to look. This new mind set has helped me feel confident about what my body can do even when I'm not always impressed with how it looks.
Thanks for this, I can relate to a lot of what you said, tbh in general everything you say in your videos has so much truth in it, you really are a special person and have such great energy. All the best!
Thanks so much for sharing this Natacha! It's amazing to see how someone like you can develop (what seems) such a healthy relationship with food and yourself but coming from a more negative way! So inspiring girl!xxx
Thank you Emele, I have my friends and psychologist to thank for opening my mindset but I really am a different person to who I used to be and what you see now is who I am, even my current relationship with food. Sometimes I forget about what I used to be like in the past because I don't feel like it was me at all but that's why I posted and I hope it can help someone out there too xxx
I just really want to emphasise how much I appreciate your channel! You're doing such a great job, and I honestly can't wait for the next video everytime I finish an old one😅👏🏻☺️ thank you for being so sincere and genuine, I think I speak for the majority of your viewers when I say that you truly are an inspiration and a role model!! 😍🙊 keep up the good work! Love from Norway🇳🇴☺️
I'm recovering from anorexia and it is so nice to hear somebody I look up too talk about their struggles in the past over food.
Honestly ever since i found you channel you have inspired me and now you have made this video i believe that i can get out of the current situation i am in. i have had an eating disorder for over a year now but only got help and opened up 2 week ago. Since those two week i feel like i have been getting my life back, i have been out for lunch 3 times which before would be terrifing and i am actually enjoying food again. Even though it does get hard at times i remind myself of people like you who have overcome eating disorders and regained the joy in their lives.
Thankyou for sharing you story and inspiring me to get better. xx
Thank you for sharing hun 💕 So glad you have overcome it and able to talk about it. I enjoy your videos and I think you're a genuine and positive person 💋
Thanks so much lovely! It's not an easy subject to talk about because people who don't experience it struggle to understand what it's like but hopefully it can help someone out there xxx
Thank you so much for sharing so honestly and giving someone who totally understands and can relate in every way positivity and hope ☺️❤️ I've very recently started weight lifting and eating to fuel my body rather than punish it. It's very hard, but I know I'll overcome fully and each day gets a bit brighter. You are such a light, thank you so so much!
You have seriously become one of my favorite youtubers! You rock Natacha!
Thankyou for sharing your story it is so inspiring, this will help teenagers who are having eating disorders 😃.... I hope that there are more people like you who shares stories to help and inspire others.
I commented on your last video about how you helped me recover, so I know how far you've come! Be proud of yourself, recovery isn't easy.
Thank you so much for sharing Natacha :) by sharing your story you are helping me and many others! 💕
I just found your channel and I'm happy I did. It really helps hearing your story cause I, sometimes, feel like you did. So thank you for posting this. And I'm really happy for you feeling better and happy with yourself.
Awesome video and awesome channel. I'm gonna stick around! Thanks, Natacha.
I had struggled with eating disorder as well. Now i'm in love with powerlifting :) You're such an inspiration! I love your smile and positive attitude. Looking forward your next video :D
I can so relate to your story....now I start stopping restricting myself, but not only for food, but also for time or priority.... after that and especially listening to my body, I feel really good, healthy and more and more confident💚 really enjoy your videos, thank you 😘
Hi Natacha!
Thanks for sharing your story :) I'm trying to recover from my binge eating/bulimic disorder as well, and it just feels good to know that it is possible to get out of it. I'm doing better everyday, though I still have days where I just revert back. But what really stuck with me was what you said in another one of your videos (I think it was the post-10k challenge) to not feel guilty for eating junk food once in a while, and that really helped me to not purge out my food from time to time.
Yup just wanted to tell you that you're an inspiration and you are amazing :)
With love all the way from Singapore
You're so knowledgable lol - I love your attitude towards everything ..mad respect and big love as always xx
3 years late to this video 💁🏼♀️ your channel is honestly the most inspiring one I've found. I'm currently struggling with an eating disorder and this makes me want to recover!
I've had a very similar experience to her. Stuck in B/P cycles, it got really bad. I have recovered, and sometimes I still have negative thoughts. It is possible, and I made a homemade pizza and LOVED it and loved myself today. I believe in you, you are so much more than the ED. The energy you will have is insane!!
@@snem9381 how did you recovery, and how did you have a good relationship with food, and still have a healthy weight
💙💙
@@ihssmr5260 i slowly reduced the amount of times I B/P'd in a day. For example, I started the year doing it X times per day. For a month I would do it one less time, and one less the next month. Eventually it was once every other day and then every 3rd day and then once a week, tapering it down very slowly. After I stopped B/P I continued bingeing but stayed with the food in my belly - it was so hard.
I also deleted anyone who made me feel bad about myself on social media - even friends. I found anti-diet culture and HAES (health at every size) and those really helped me. I really like Jennifer Rollins, no.more.guilt, your.latina.nutritionist on instagram!
@@ihssmr5260 I don't believe in standard "healthy" weights. As an ED survivor, my "healthy weight" is whatever my body weighs when I'm happy and not restricting. There are some things that I do to mind my mental health, like refuse to be weighed at doctors or leave the room immediately when people talk about diets.
@@ihssmr5260 I did all this because the girl that I used to fuel my ED finally got to my "dream" weight - and then died of heart failure.
Glad you are in a good place in life Natacha. Great video, keep them coming.
You have inspired me so much! I have an eating disorder and every time I make myself throw up I promise myself I wouldn't do it anymore, but I do... I hope to get better soon and stop what I'm doing to my body and mental state. It gets really difficult at times... You're giving me hope :) and thanks for that :)
Only just come across your channel and I'm so glad I did, thank you so much for sharing this and all the other harsh truth. Really needed it x
I'm currently trying to recover from an eating disorder. I really value Your honesty in this video. Thank you for sharing this❤️
So much strength in you girl! You're the bomb! All the best :) xxx
i love this video i relate to it on pretty much every level! i love that you're sharing this message with us, and i honestly thank you so much! this is just amazing!
Believe me, changing your mindset from working out to look good to working out to perform better, is a life changing advice.. this mindset gonna take your fitness journey to a different level and you always gonna stay motivated and enjoy your workout ! Lots of love to everyone out there who are putting their best efforts to change their life.
So basically you just transfer your mentality from looking better than performing better or getting stronger
@@giacbejo9920 I basically keep my mentality to do the workout i enjoy (i enjoy resistance training and not cardio so i simply avoid cardio) . The idea of performing well and feeling strong goes along, it becomes something inevitable.
Hi Natasha, I’ve watched everyone one of your videos and think they’re amazing! I currently recovering from my eating disorder and this video has made me open my mind even further. Thank you! In the future im hoping to start gaining muscle, as like you, i thought to look good you had to be skinny, however my view has changed massively! Your words have helped reinforce my thoughts, so thank you! x
I wish I could like this more than once. This video just completely and 100% changed my mindset. Thank you so much
Ohh God thank you thank you for posting that video, I lost about 25 kilos after getting dumped and treated like trash by someone who wasn't comfortable being around someone my size *being 78 kilos the time*. I have been through all sorts of phases with my body and eating disorders, until I came across your videos and I swear to god you have helped me develop a nice image of myself and my body. I started weight training and started eating more starting going out more, smiling to myself in the mirror. it is all in our head truly. thank you again :)
I absolutely loved this video! You have such a great personality, sending you lots of love xx
You speak so well and wise about your experiences, full of knowledge and beautiful x
Thank you for sharing this. Where you were before is exactly where I am now. You give me hope that things will change.
I keep watching this video because this literally is like looking in the mirror. I think exactly the same as how you did as I still do. Thank you for making this video, I just hope I can be as strong willed and power through just like you. Your amazing Natascha. 💗
I can relate so much to this... I am diagnosed with bulimia nervosa but I think that I also have orthorexia and binge eating disorder. I'm in therapy atm and it's so motivational to see this video!
Hey new subscriber here :) just binge watched the majority of your videos and I just wanted to say that I love your channel and it's content. It's some of the best on youtube and I really appreciate how genuine and informative you are compared to a large proportion of people. Your content is so interesting and both your attitude and workouts inspire mine! Keep up your good work I think you'll get recognition for your good work eventually! Also this video is really relatable(as are a lot of them) and I'm glad you're promoting a healthier lifestyle to young people mentally and physically.
Thank you so much- your channel always remind me of what it means to truly lead a healthy lifestyle- both mentally and physically.
+Emily Winn you're welcome sweetie, lots of love! 😘🤗
Great video Natacha! thank you for sharing this, I'm sure it will help a lot of people that can relate to it. As always loving the videos, Keep it up! =)
i would like to thank you immensely for posting this video. i am going through the same issues right now and noticed that our stories are quite similar. i knew i had developed anxiety towards food in college, but i couldn't put my finger on what was actually wrong with me. thank you for making me feel like i am not alone in this and that this condition is something that other people have struggled with too. i have felt so isolated in regards to my disorder because i never really knew what it was until recently seeing a specialist. this video really opened my eyes to the dangers/epidemic of eating disorders.
+Amy Chacona hey sweetie! I am so so happy that it can help 🤗 I promise you are so not alone in going through it, if only you knew the number of messages I get on this topic - it was such an eye opener for me. I hope you feel better every day! 😘😘
Thank you so much for this! Your story is so similiar to me... But my turning point was actually your videos and seeing that you looked good and could eat as well
Thank you so much for sharing this! I think so much girls can relate, at least I do. You are an amazing person, so much positivity! Really like your channel!
Thanks Natacha for doing this video, it really is eye-opening because I'm going through that right now. I intermittent fast because I feel like I don't exercise enough because I don't have time at Uni. So i cut my hours of eating but I've been binging every weekend now and I feel so bad.
I love your videos so much! You motivate me to change my mind from thinking about weight and thinness to being healthy. Never stop making videos please :)
I'm currently going through the same. I started excercising and tracking everything. I binge and I feel like crap. I went through quite everything you did, in the same order... now I am at the stage when I had enough, and I just watch all of your videos because they help a lot, like I almost feel like something has changed in my mind. I know it'll be hard but I started eating more. I still fear from gaining weight or to be more specific, of gaining FAT. Although I want to be more muscular I just fear from eating which keeps me going on and on. However, I keep lifting and hope that some day I will achieve what you did. By the way, you truly are a motivation!
This video resonated with me like you wouldnt believe. Thank you so much for sharing your story, I know first hand how hard it is to open up and talk about your problems wether they are current or in your past.
I am currently battling and trying to overcome my eating disorder and body dismorphia after losing 6.5 stone. I think when you have been so large in the past (in my case anyway) it causes major anxiety at the thought of gaining weight again and for me, that has been a vicious downhill spiral, reducing my calories, over training, restricting and in turn binging then doing excessive exercise to compensate (ridiculous!!!). I am slowly trying to up my calories to fuel my training but the anxiety is the worst. I am going to Rome on Sunday with my partner and I am already having panic attacks and feelings of guilt because I know I will be indulging in pizza and ice cream... I'm trying to focus on the memories I will make instead of worrying about food. In 20 years time I will only regret if I let my food issues overtake my ability to enjoy my life.
I think social media can be such a negative and dangerous place to be, especially when you are struggling with both food and/or body image. I can truthfully say that you are the ONE channel which always makes me feel better, inspired and motivated instead of making me question how I train, what I eat and make me feel even worse about myself. So thank you! You inspire me daily and I can't thank you enough for always being so knowledgable, kind and REAL!!!
This was exactly me a few years ago! Over exercising, body image and calories took over my life and I missed out on life because of that. And having overcome that has been the best thing! I realized that in the end it was never really about the food, it was way deeper than that. And I started to work on my deeper issues that caused all of this, then my eating disorder, exercise addiction slowly went away.. Hope that helps
I've never thought you had suffered from ED ! I perfectly understand what you've been through all these years ! I had bulimia for 7 years when i was a teenager and i recovered 8 years ago. Fitness saved me because i realized that working out is the only way to have a great body. Dieting cannot change the shape of your body. Once i had a flat tummy i stopped bingeing and purging. Thx for sharing your history Natacha !
Hi, thank you for your video so much. I really enjoyed watching it and I strongly relate since I'm constantly in and out of hospital myself for an eating disorder. I use your 'what I eat in a day' videos to give me inspo to try and actually eat and I'm finding it quite helpful. Love u and thank you so much xxxxxxx
i make sure i watch your videos everyday. Thank you so much for all the information. You are truly an inspiration. God Bless :) Many Thanks
You may never see this comment, but I just wanted to say thank you because I found your channel only a week ago and you are changing my life, my emotions, and my perspective.
