I am very excited for you! The weight looks extremely good on you! I’m a very thin person naturally as well and I’m currently on a weight gain journey. I’ve been having chronic telogen effluvium ever since I’ve weaned my baby about 2 years ago. During the breastfeeding timeframe, I was always so stressed because I had to make sure I eat enough for the baby. So when I stopped I was relieved that I didn’t have to keep track of my food intake anymore and ever since then I have been under-eating. I just recently realized this. No doctor ever asked me about my diet! They just gave me a bunch of vitamin pills that never worked!😐 Now I’m eating a healthy amount of food everyday and the shedding has slowed down tremendously! It is sooo important that we eat enough, it will heal you! So glad it has worked out for you 😊
I also suffered TE at the start of the year due to extreme sickness and lost about 70% of my hair. 2020 has not been easy for us that is for sure! Thank you for your beautiful comments. It's just awful that doctors still are not asking us the right questions and getting to the bottom of what is really going on in our bodies. They just readily prescribe medicine without fully gaining a proper understanding of what is really going on in our system! I am glad you hair shedding has slowed down and I wish you all the best on this journey!
I'm on a journey to get my period back and I've just binge-watched your series on this! Thank you so much for being vulnerable and talking about your experience with this, it makes me feel more hopeful :)
So excited for you and danced with you 💃🏻🙌🏼 I know that feeling!!!🫶🏼 I am on the journey now to getting my period back, been almost 5 years in this journey I really feel like I’m close to root healing, recently discovered HA and how I really feel like gaining weight is going to help me, ( and of course all the other things involved too😉 ) I’m so excited. Yes it takes effort and time. And I’ve come so far!! To anyone else struggling with HA or any hormone struggles my heart goes out to you❤️❤️ I know how hard it is you just want to have a cycle like your body should. Keep pushing, and if you haven’t heard it lately I’m proud of you girl!!
the mental hunger is such a big thing! My stomach feels full so quickly and I can sometimes go hours without eating without feeling physically hunger... but wishing I was hungry and thinking about food... On another note, thanks for doing these vids! Haven't had a period for about a year (I was only on low cals for like 4 mos. before I lost it ): and I've been binge-watching loots of HA vids 'cause I need the encouragement right now lol.
So so happy for you!!! Your story is such an inspiration and helps me keep going. Btw...I balled to my hubby about weight gain the night before my 1st recovery period too. Praying for you! ❤️
well done you beaut, good effort. Could see how hard this was for you but must have made such amazing mindset shifts. Very inspiring. All about the PB too. hehe
Omg but you are still very lean! I'm in HA recovery and I wasn't underweight (but I lost 10 kg 6 months) and now I'm gaining weight and I don't recognize my body
@@cmy_0549 i gained 4 kg (8.5 pounds) but I'm 153 cm (5'), so for me they are a lot (but the situation is getting better because some of this is water and I'm less bloated now).
Really love your video. I am still suffering with ED and HA, and speaking of mental hunger, i am thinking about food all the time, does that mean I should eat all the time; i am afraid of losing control but at the same time i need to recover and get my period back.
@@sonsielife3685 plz help me i am 14 yo and I lost 14 kj and didn't get my period since 6 months and idk what to do I increased my calories now I am eating 1800 calories a day but idk what should I do to get it back plz tell me if I should eat more or not exercise and I also don't want to gain a lot of weight☹️☹️
@@leensakarna342 Hi there gorgeous! I can only speak on behalf of what I have experienced and what I have read but you trulely need o be eating 2500 calories and stopping majority of your movement/exercise until you get 3 periods in a row. Weight gain will happen...I am sorry. It's not what I wanted to hear either but its so worth it!
Wow haha, periods are a big deal to your family! In mine it was hardly worth mentioing, it's just life, gotta deal with pads and migraines, etc. Again, congratulations on achieving what you wanted and feeling good about it. Did you find that the physical symptoms of HA (feeling cold, digestion issues, urinary issues) improved with getting your period, or were they getting better even before that?
i’m recovering from HA due to anorexia. i don’t have any hunger or fullness cues. i never get hungry but also don’t get any fullness. do you feel “full” after a meal? for me, i don’t feel anything
This is really interesting because I feel exactly the same, I have never had anorexia. However I do have HA due to over exercising and under eating. I have only just started recovery and feeling this exact feeling never hungry but once I eat never full! I would love to hear how ur getting on now to see how things progress!
I have had plenty of blood test done but nothing showed up for according to my doctors. Either nothing showed up, or they didn't no what to look for! Can be quite common.
@@leensakarna342 it wasn’t the easiest thing but to put it simply, I had to eat a lot more. I had a routine of high intensity and Pilates/strength but I did it for so long without giving my body any real rest time. I thought I was eating enough (like 1300-1400 but I never actually ate right to make up for my exercise, like I wouldn’t eat anything before hand or after which put my body under A LOT of stress) u can tell (for some) when it’s getting bad because your nails get really fragile and break easily and for me that was the case along with constant shivering (my body literally wasn’t producing enough energy to heat itself) the best advice I can give you is to eat, relax and do not stress. I know it’s a bit to ask but if you really want your period back that’s the best advice I can give from my experience. Basically your body needs you to gain weight (it could be any amount, for me it was only like 6kg and I still worked out in that time but it was only for about 10 minutes and like once a week, I didn’t do any cardio or anything to stress out my body and had to get my blood done) my hormones were at 0 and 100, if your having the same trouble with your period or HA, u may never feel hungry or know when your full because your cortisol (produced from stress) is masking your other hormones (this is what an endocrinologist explained to me) but trust me, eating and relaxing is gonna bring your period back. Maybe not in the first days or weeks, for me it took a few months (5-6 I’m pretty sure) but it’s so worth it, just keep in mind everyone’s “recommended” weight by any online calculators or based on height and age are 90% of the time incorrect and do not take into consideration heritage and your own personal genetics. Your healthy weight (and the weight you need to get a period) may not be the same as another girl, which is completely fine. Everyone’s different and beautiful in their own way! I hope you get yours back and good luck!

I was wondering if you did blood tests for your estrogen and FSH levels and if they were normal. Im still struggling to get it back.
I have had plenty of blood test done but nothing showed up for according to my doctors. Either nothing showed up, or they didn't no what to look for! Can be quite common.
