Hi hun , are you still doing vlogs these days please ? Xx

Most people who say that they have recovered from addiction or different diseases/ disorders, I do not believe that people who say they have recovered do not ( imo) when they cover themselves with tattoos. It’s like what are you hiding. imo.

I’ve never made myself vomit, but used large amounts of laxatives. Still do and it’s been over 40 years now. Some people just don’t get over Anorexia.

Would think 3000kcal would shock the system of an anorexic. Thank you for sharing your journey. Know it's the hardest thing in the world to fight your own mind. You're beautiful ❤️

💜💜

love india

i had anorexia when i was 14. keep fighting

I hope you are still doing well. I know the rollercoaster and the hard resolve when you decide you are done. Yay for years of being healthy!

Hey, Lauren!! I’m so proud of you, girlfriend!! I have experienced pretty much exactly the same thing and by the grace of God fought the good fight and am also in recovery ❤️‍🩹. I will be praying for you to stay healthy and completely recover forever and ever! 🙏🤗❤️ Btw, my name is Lauren, too! 💞

r u from anywhere near birmingham, u.k.? yer accent reminds me of the guys in 'BLACK SABBATH'. i bin to the uk 3 times i got friends over there and wutnot i know some people in the uk don't like that accent but i love it. i think it has great rhythm and very interesting tonal qualities. quite "lyrical" too perfect half and half between cockney and and mancunian as they call it. cool accent. people have no probs seeing overeating and junk food as an adiction but anorexia and bulimia are rarely ever talked about as such. it's all too often just labeled as the result of the "male gaze" and blamed on the supposed pressure on women to look good fer men but i think there's much more to it than that. and if you want to effectively treat it it needs to be seen as an addiction somehow someway there's a dopamine hit involved it's far more than simple fear of being fat. wuss yer opinion?

im dealing with ana right now, but this really made me realise some thing. made me sob. thanks for sharing your story

This was 4 years ago, I wonder how shes doing now. Much love! Super proud of you!

Please tell me what it was that told you "this is enough". I don't know what to do. I'm about 7 stones and 5'7. Every night I make myself eat. It may be 1 cup or 1.5 cups of food bu that's all I can do. I'm not hungry. Please tell me what your moment was where you had enough. I've got to get some rationale. I've been like this since I was 11. I'm 50 now. Thank you and I'm so very proud of you!!

You're a hero to many 'helping those who are either experiencing or have experienced' what is the disease anorexia, you keep going, you're awesome. Amen to you, you look so damn good truly.💕💕

Whats your opinion on Eugene cooney?

I moved to my anonymous acc so I can comment this, but [TWWWWWWW!!!!!!!] I feel so hopeless. I was down to 70 lbs and I was so happy, but I still didn’t believe I was sick enough. I was hospitalized for a couple of days, and was forced to eat by everyone around me. Now I’m at 85-90 lbs, still a low bmi, but now I’m fat. I want to cry and I want a hug and all I want to know, Lauren, is how you did it? How did you get over hating yourself? It feels like I’ll never stop.

Lauren you look wonderful! Great job sharing your story. One thing you have hopefully found out about yourself is just how strong you can be. Hang in there and don't be afraid to admit that you may still need help.

Good on you. Thank you for sharing, loved hearing you talk. And I absolutely love your tattoos ♥️♥️

Our story is so similar!! I even have a dog called vinnie! My birthday is the 13th of February and I was admitted on the 17th of February and discharged on the 7th of June in Glasgow too where I’m from.💕

I suffered these symptoms and lost about 5kg in two weeks, but my BMI was still near normal so I did not get any medication. Then it dropped to 46kg and suddenly I had counselling sessions and pills. Now I've gained 2kg and my period is back. It has been hard to accept that my body is changing but this video helped me see that being skinny while destroying the rest of my body, is not worth it. Thank you for this! And you should know that you're so strong to beat that damn ED. Keep going!

Lauren you are a trooper. So proud of you girl. With love from Australia xxx

Strong girl god bless you .happy you are now healthy 😊

Been feeling all the horrid refeeding symptoms still. And wow 4months of this!! Im 1.5 months into recovery and so often thinking I felt better when I was in Ed, but I also don't wanna go through this again, now the 2nd time going through this. It's really does suck.

Maybe you could talk about what you like about getting your identity back in recovery.

The only thing triggering to me in the video was the crooked septum ring haah //congratulations on working to better yourself, it's very sad to see those photos and your eyes are completely blank, but in your intro you're sparkling and lively x

I’m so glad to hear you say that you’re the only one that can make you well. It’s so true. You can’t make anyone else responsible, not your support team or the doctors , or your family. It’s actually very empowering. Well done you! I wish you every happiness in your life. Xxxx

I want to figure out If I have an ED But I'm TERRIFIED of needles are they necessary?

I keep Trying To exercise to loose weight but I can't without fainting :p

I’ve suffered off and on for 28 years and if sucks and is difficult but you would be the best person I’ve heard talk about it plus your positive. Good work Chickie babe.

Love this! My dad & I go to all the horror movies together too! ❤️

My Ed brain is so bipolar. Like I’ve considered just going into recovery and eating a sandwich 6x today and every damn time my eating disorder brain has something to say it’s so frustrating

you look so much younger now

All these videos are helping me to loose weight and to become an anorexic pro thankyou I need to no how long it takes to get thin

You think it's strange that people didn't care enough to intervene? Those doctors don't know you, they don't care about you. Even if they were your own family, they probably would have avoided you instead of trying to help. That's just how humans are.

I love your videos so much 💓 Hope you're doing well!

I've never had an eating disorder but for some reason I've been following these anorexia stories, pictures, and thinspo youtube videos for many years. I guess I am interested. I'm glad you recovered! I have only food allergies so I have had a very restricted diet over the years and lost a lot of weight and ended up feeling cold, weak, sick all the time and my hair did fall out too, so I can relate that much at least! I too have recovered from that and started eating normally again seen as h ow restricting didn't help my allergies at all.

i’ve been eating 150 cals a day with my ed and want to get up to my maintenance by june but i just found out about referring syndrome and i’m terrified. i’m 5’3 120 lbs so idk if that means i’ll be ok or not

Yep thats what happened to me..my lowest point when I was 22..i felt so ill..my heart was fckd up..i had to always get those painful potassium drips...but I was done with it...not worth it...keep up good work hun

I love you very good very beautiful you i like you way you Emotional

Feelings are hard. Emotions hurt. But you are allowed, and it is nice to know you can allow yourself to feel., and to let the pain out. Keep growing with the healing, please. You are doing great choosing healing.

Your so strong love <3

You’re a Gorgeous lady! Don’t get me wrong. But I’m shocked people were giving you compliments at that prom on your body. It’s sicking how much we value thinness over mental health.

ur pretty

May God bless you. I'm sorry you've had to go through so much. Know that our prayers are with you, and know that God will help you. May Jesus be with you <3

I highly enjoyed watching this video of your experiences with anorexia and being in a ward. it's a very touching story and it's nice to see how strong you were and still are! I hope your journey continues to be amazing and you reach the goals you desire. You're such a lovely person; never apologise for crying or having a bad day! We are only human and it's such a natural thing to do. I recently got offered a job as a support worker in a eating disorder clinic it so was nice to hear how the staff made such a huge impact on your life and time inside the clinic. What would you say the staff did to help you and keep you positive whilst being an inpatient? I'd love to have the same impact on young people as the staff did on you. It's so rewarding to help others, which I'm sure you can understand since you share your experiences on such a huge platform to help others. Again, I hope you continue to have a fantastic journey, and continue to stay positive and healthy 🙏🏽🙏🏽

to touch on the vegan point - in my experience there was a “normal diet”, the vegetarian menu was replaced with a fully vegan menu for ease and obviously diets to meet religious beliefs, most meat was halal anyway but there were halal/kosher options

Is this a NHS hospital? 🤔

I’m so proud of you. No, we’re so proud of you. Recovery takes a lot of time, and it is SO hard. Keep on being amazing!❤️❤️❤️❤️🤍🤍
