if you are overweight being anorexic will only help, not hurt you. Its only when you breach the healthy weight and go too deep into starving yourself that it can become a problem. Edit: Its incredible how obnoxiously obsessive and offensive people can get over something so minuscule as a totally logical statement albeit unconventional. What I was trying to get across with my comment was that an anorexic mentally- when you are in state of excess weight- would help you lose weight as long as you don't go too deep. A healthy person can refrain from eating for prolonged periods of time without much health risk as long as they keep hydrated and have body fat for fuel. I personally(and people I know) can go weeks without eating and experience health and mental benefits from it. The body is designed for prolonged caloric deficits and is optimized for running on body fat/ketones when in a fasted state. Fact is, when you are overweight being in a caloric deficit until you reach a normal BMI shouldn't be something a healthy person could die from non the less worry about. Quite the opposite it can prolong their life and help their mood. Do you honestly think that we are designed to eat 2000 calories every day? How exactly do you think bears sleep an entire winter without eating and still live to tell the tale every spring? How come certain aboriginal tribes only eat on rare occasions once or twice a week and still live fairly long? How come it fasting is proven by scientists the preferred state of the body? You tell me.
@@theeloquenteccentric8321 please educate yourself. This is so incorrect. Anorexia is a horrible disorder that takes over your brain,body and life. It doesn't matter if your overweight, healthy, or underweight.. it's bad for your health. As someone who stopped eating breakfast and lunch for a year to try to lose weight because I was over weight this is extremely rude to say!
@@theeloquenteccentric8321 anorexia does not help ANYONE. No matter your weight, it isn't simply a diet. They eat in amounts that wouldn't even provide suitable nutrition to a BABY because they've been told stuff like what you just said, and because of their "perfect" role models in the media. You don't just become anorexic, lose weight and then go back to eating a healthy amount. It stays with you for an extreme amount of time, haunting you and infecting your mind, taunting you. It is a lethal mental illness and you shouldn't be saying that it's fine for an overweight person to starve themselves. You should be ashamed, people have lost their lives to this and you're acting like its healthy
Omg you don’t understand seeing this comment is actually so helpful I’m doing better but seeing all the other comments was kinda triggering but urs makes me feel better like maybe I should keep going too..
Noooo please I’m begging you to eat more. 1/5 people with anorexia die. Starving yourself will weaken your heart and so many other things. Please eat more, your body needs it to survive. I’ve been through it and it’s hell. I know this comment wont do much but I beg you please. Recovery is hard but it’s always worth it. If you need anything reach out to me ok?
Me too I have a twin who compares herself to me I had an accident in a wheel chair now my twin I’m a 138 lbs what do you weigh what do you weigh she won’t shut up I have no peace at all sorry I’m just scared of what’s happening my actions this last week sorry
my brain: aight, here's what you're gonna do. you're gonna watch this video and trigger yourself and I'm not gonna tell you that you got triggered till you relapse
Is this how many cases of eating disorders start? At first I just went on a healthy diet, eating okay, just healthy, low calorie foods. Then I started eating less. Then counting calories obsessively. Then eating became stressful. I don't have anorexia, not yet, but I might have some form of ED. And I don't want to stop, I will though.
You don't need to be stick thin to have anorexia. I think that's where society has a lot to catch up on. People assume that you're only anorexic when you're stick thin and your body's barely able to keep you alive. I'm at what most would consider healthy weight and I'm anorexic.
@@transmogrifying hey, is this suppose to be an information comment, or...? I never mentioned needing to be stick thin. I'm not stick thin and I have undereaten, shown signs of ED, I don't want anorexia though. I agree with your point though, just a bit confused. I hope you recover ❤️
@@mhm77887 i guess it's more toward you saying "you don't have anorexia, at least not yet" i'm just trying to let people know that it's possible to be anorexic without being underweight. Anorexia's more about what you said, undereating, and i hope you get better too😄
I'm basically beginning to starve myself and I know I need to stop but I just can't. My brain convinces me that I have to eat tiny amounts on the occasions that I do eat, I'm also trying to stop counting calories but I simply can't.
When her friend offered some of that cake that hurt because I feel so uncomfortable and scared eating infront of people or eating a full meal with people around I dont even eat Christmas breakfast anymore and my family forces food on me in the morning it angers me where I want to yell no and leave I only feel ok eating with my dad or brother
its so sad that nobody is given attention to this piece of art. this video is basiclly telling my story except that i made myself throw up and harm myself as a punichment so i dont do it again.
you restrict for so long. when you do get the food you want, you eat until everything is gone and starve for days then binge then starve. it's a cycle.
i love this portrayal of an eating disorder, i relate to it a lot more than other films. in movies people with eating disorders are always thin and then they become severely underweight and whenever they purge it looks a lot less disgusting than it is. this is way more realistic, good job
hey, i’m here to tell you there is hope :) only 6 months ago i was in the depths of anorexia, it ruined everything, relationships, happiness, social life, just about anything you can think of my eating disorder ruined. but i made the right choice and reached out for help, and i’m now steady and happy in recovery:) my birthday is in 8 days and i’m going to eat cake and just enjoy life because i’m not letting calories control me anymore and neither should you. i promise you, there is a light at the end of this tunnel and i know you’ve heard that a million times and you don’t believe it but neither did i and now i’m here. i love you take care of yourself
Having an eating disorder IS LIKE Trying to fight a terminal illness and die at the same time I want to get well for my parents but the disease Progress's
perfect representation of the binge-restrict cycle. everyone expects someone with ana to not binge, but very few times is that the case, and people with ana do purge, but it's part of their long-lasting restrict cycle unlike bulimia. this vid is honestly one of the most accurate representations of eds ive ever seen. good job.
@@longestname817 Just try to do something about it without putting yourself on a difficult position . Avoid thoughts and some unnecessary things that depress you . Find activities to kill your time. Eventually if you find a new schedule your life will be better even if you don t recover from your ed ... I am still bulimic but i found some things that i can do after 2years that can help me stop thinking about food and not binge eating even for 2to 3months.
My daughter is about to graduate from RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) with a Bachelor's in the Fine Arts. She just had to do her final film, which was finished not long ago. It was mental health-related, too. I can so appreciate these small independent films and the filmmakers behind them! I am so proud to watch these films, knowing how much blood, sweat, and tears have gone into making them. Good work! ~A Proud RIT Parent :)
I never looked thin even when I starved for years, ate 1 piece of bread a day, drank a gallon of water to stay full, exercised for hours without eating. People loved how pale I was "porcelain skin". 45 kgs 5'5" my friends kept calling me chubby, I kept starving myself. I was never thin enough, until I crashed, I nearly died of severe anemia, prone to brain haemorrhage. It took me 3 years to be back to normal. My request to everyone going through this.. Please do not listen to anyone, prioritise yourself, have opinion of yourself through your eyes. My best friend was the one who fatshamed me, she'll never get it. And I don't care.
I struggle with self image a lot. While I very thankfully do not have an eating disorder, I wish I could push myself to be better. Work out. Eat healthier. And yet I don’t have the energy to do it. An eating disorder is not the “pretty” mental disorder. It’s more than that. Much more. In media and in movies it’s portrayed as forcing yourself not to eat. It shows purging on food as eating a lot, running into the bathroom, and running out and being “pretty” and “slim” again. This shows the cold, hard truth of an eating disorder. It wraps around your mind and changes the way you view yourself and everything around you. It shows the dark side, or really what an eating disorder truly is. I hope any of you struggling with a disorder to get better, and I know it’s hard but you CAN heal. You are NEVER “too far gone”. You can heal and get better and I promise it’s not over yet. You have purpose. You are beautiful and amazing just the way you are. I love you, and hope you’re okay.
I’m so happy that people are finally able to address the problem of binge-eating after forcing a diet on yourself, and the fact that people with an ED aren’t always like- stick figures.
This appears on my recommendations right on the day I failed with my recovery... It's always "I'm almost there" it's always just a little bit more, and just like that years have gone by
For anybody reading this, please remember that you are loved, and that your body deserves nourishment. I don't know what it's like to struggle with this illness, but please please please remember to take care of yourself. You don't need to obsess over calories. They will not kill you, they will not make you fat. You are beautiful in your natural state, and your body deserves your love. You deserve to be more than skin and bones. Skinny is not beautiful, It is unhealthy , so please, for your future self, get help.
stop being insensitive and educate yourself. the fact you don’t even know what it’s like to have anorexia and still consider giving this shitty advice is triggering and disgusting.
@@mollie-maiellmer6607 I'm really sorry this made you so angry. I have struggled with eating disorders before, just not anorexia. I'm not sure how this is insensitive or triggering in and of itself, especially when the video itself is about anorexia. It would be nice if you could explain to me why what I said was disgusting instead of just tearing me a new one. Clearly I wrote this with good intentions, so I don't see why you had to be so mean about it.
I remember skipping breakfast and lunch and I only ate dinner never all of it, though even my parents noticed, I knew it hurt them for some reason i just snapped out of it and started binge eating but after that and having a kidney stone i've had trouble gaining weight not that i'm super skinny but i used to gain weight so much easier, I don't know if what I had could even be considered as anorexia but i can assure starving yourself is never good.
I cried while watching this. This the whole representation of my life during quarantine... Im obsess to loose weight that I got into this rabbit hole (binge-eating and throwing up) I wish I could cure this. It really affects my mental health 😟😞
The worst thing about an eating disorder is when you start you can’t go back. It usually starts with someone telling you you need to eat less, that you should lose weight, or something like that. Then you decide to eat less one day. But it’s never just “one day.” Because soon you realize you don’t remember a day where you aren’t thinking about how to eat less. “Eating less” turns into only eating one meal a day, only eating one meal a day turns into starving yourself. Then you start to see the numbers on the scale slowly going down. It’s become an addiction. Sometimes it crosses your mind to try and eat something but then you think to yourself “If I look like this while not eating then how much will I weigh when if I go back to normal” and if you do eat a full meal you feel horrible. But you don’t just feel horrible, you also feel extremely happy to finally stop the constant hunger. But now a normal dinner with your family doesn’t feel the same and you still have that horrible feeling every time you put the fork to your lips. Every time the lunch bell rings it feels like a burden to open your lunch pail and actually eat something. Then you remember that this all started from “one day” that you tried to “eat less”. Once you start you can’t go back.
I’ve recently tried to get better. I’m eating more than 1000 calories now ( a forbidden number when I was starving myself. ) I could go days eating only upwards of 500 cals. It hurt to stand, I was so dizzy I felt like I was going to pass out and never wake up. I danced until my legs shook, I don’t think my body could take how much deficit I was in. Yet, I miss those days. I miss feeling light and boney, and whenever I felt dizzy, I felt like I was getting somewhere. I think I’m relapsing please don’t like this comment
This is so real, thank you for creating this. Shining light on the reality of what someone goes through with an eating disorder. I’ve been dieting since I was 12, developed bulimia at 20 and still struggling at 25.
@Annie Strawbsie hey! I’m 14 and currently struggling with a ED and been in treatment for about 5 weeks now! We definitely can get through this together!!!!.
please don’t starve yourself. I’ve been through it. Weight gain is not a bad thing. Please I’m begging you to please try eating more. I know me saying eat doesn’t help at all, but consider recovery please. 1/5 people with anorexia die, it’s very dangerous. Please do not starve yourself. If you need to talk ever lmk
Don't do that. Your body is probably in calorie deficit. Please realize your body is doing autocanninalism right now. Your body is eating itself if you starve yourself. At some point if this continues you won't even be able to shower without risk of a heart attack. Please GO GET HELP. Life isn't a scale it's an experience.
@@asavelayoung7315 nonono!!!!!! Breakfast is the most important meal, as it's basically the fuel for your body, it's what keeps your body going NEVER skip breakfast
There's no point in starving yourself, because eating less food slows down your metabolism, which means you'd gain weight faster. Instead, eat more, but smartly, don't eat too much fat and oil and increase foods like vegetables, eggs and rice in your meals (or search up on google meal recipe that don't contain lots of fat). Doctors say that starving yourself is not important, what's important is excersize and eating smartly. Don't do this to yourself! It's not good for you, you'll be so fraile that you cant even bend down properly.
for everybody out there struggling: you can and deserve to recover! after 5 years of being sick and miserable, I've been in recovery for about 2 years now and it's the best decision I ever made! I still can't say I'm fully recovered, but I'm at a normal weight now, eating normal sizes of food and treating my body gently. life is so better now. you can do this. p.s. you don't need to have an eating disorder or to restrict to be thin, alright? having an ED means you're miserable and sad and sick, not that you'll get thin faster or discipline yourself better.
Watching this when you have anorexia binge eating type hits hard because all of this, is what I go through. The starving and/or purging, then bingeing, the guilt for bingeing, and then purging and/or starving. It's a cycle I can't stop and I kinda don't want to stop
today was the first day i ate breakfast without feeling guilty, i am still thinking about exercing afterwards, but not excessively, just because it really makes me feel kinda better emotionally and i was stuck in my room for days. I think i can do it, i just need to be free from the shame that this illness makes me feel.
i have anorexia but no one will ever understand because i’m not as skinny as the typical standard for anorexia. my friends always ask why i don’t eat at school yet i stay so “healthy” little do they know
@@whathappensin_vegas Thank youuuu I am doing better because I’ve been spending less time at school due to lockdown but it’s still pretty bad at school also I’m sorry you relate to that because beauty standards and things are so toxic :(
This is an amazing short!! Very accurate and realistic I could feel the pain of the binge and the immediate feeling to get it out of your body and start the cycle again 😖
guys i understand some of you are making these comments to try to make it easier for you. please don’t normalize not eating enough this could actually kill y’all. start eating. if you feel like you can’t and it’s too hard because of the voices in ur head seek help i’m begging y’all.
for everyone just know that even if you think you're all alone going through this, you're not, a lot of people care about you, even if it's just strangers on the internet ❤️ don't ever give up and I'm so proud of you for everything ❤️❤️
Since everybody is saying theyre story i will tell mine: So im 12 and ive always been rlly skinny which was hard for me to gain weight but i was eating perfect and i was healthy since corona virus came back i was eating alot i love eating but at some point my own step mother said that i got a fat stomach and when her mother came over and visited she said i got fatter cheeks, since i was getting clothes out that didn't fit me and my stepmother was just surprised because she said im getting fat and i have been having those clothes for years and i told her well i have been having those clothes for years and my stepmom isn't i dontwant to sound rude but she isn't "fit" either she has been working out and stuff so i decided why not i have a perfect body just not a flat stomach and i got insecure about it looking the mirror all the time just starring of my stomach so i didn't decide to go on a diet but i saw a youtuber who said her secrets to having a flat stomach and eating everything she wanted i watched it and she said that she eats smaller meals so i only ate 3 meals per day max and i would try to eat smaller have a smaller plate of food every time i did and i started getting headacks and was tired cold my hair started falling out when i brushed it and i was hoping since eating smaller meals i would get a flat stomach and exercising well all of that i searched it up and i was getting almost all the symptoms of me being anorexic and i almost started crying and a few days later i started eating more and i don't get headache's anymore as much and my hairs isn't falling anymore but im still very insecure about my stomach i feel like im falling back in the track of getting a eating disorder today i ate chicken rice and veggies but my body wanted more food and i did but im still hungry and still want to eat but it pases away i still don't consider having a disorder im scared of considering that i had a eating disorder im not sure if i did also My dad started realizing that i was eating less. Dont ever let someones appearance about you ever get to you you are beautiful idc if ur chubby skinny anything you are unique nobody has the perfect body and if u think u do girl what are you doing here go have fun be yourself we are all unique in our own ways.
omg Awnn your amazing and it’s crazy how much confidence a person can loose just by one person saying something rude, people need to learn to stfu and keep it to there self ! And btw I hope you get better girl, any updates of what is happening? I’m here to listen
omg! u r sooo right! Im 13, i dont hv an ED but I do know some1 who has one, and guys its so hard to deal with one but thank you for sharing ur stories! Also we live in a society where every1 says being fat is bad and being skinny is good. But ppl r so much more than their how they look like. We have goals and can reach potential. Everyone is amazing and special in their own way. Thank u for sharing ur story, for ppl struggling with an ED just know that u r strong and although its so hard to keep in mind, remember that you are so much more than wat u look like
My family used to call me too thin. Whenever my cousins had friends over they'd literally call me a "stick" and even my own mom was like "Looks like the wind is gonna blow you away any day now." So I let them all get to me and I ate A LOT without ever exercising and I gained weight, but not too much weight (or so I thought). I was pretty happy with the results. Until people started called me fat and ugly. Even my best friend off-handedly remarked one day "Why are you getting so fat? It doesn't suit you at all." And as people said this stuff I myself started noticing things in me that I never noticed before. Like how big my stomach was getting or how chubby my cheeks were or how fat my legs looked. So I tried to stop eating at all and exercise, but I couldn't commit and my parents forcefully fed me. I know that it was for my own good, but at that time, I used to think it was to torment me and that they didn't understand. See, they were those type of people who thought "Teenagers are children. They can't have depression." I did stop eating everything eventually but that didn't fix the image I had in mind of my body. So as was expected I developed social anxiety and a really low self-esteem. I shut up saying anything at school thinking "Anything I'd say would be useless and stupid. My other friends are better. Let them talk." I deleted all my social media accounts. Everyday, I'd find a new flaw in my appearance and cry for hours over it. I used to think that God had created me just so others could think better of themselves when they saw me. I went over the top to make sure my crush never ever saw me. In fact I started hiding from boys in general thinking that if they saw me, they'd make fun of me. I haven't told anyone about this. Now, I'm trying to overcome this all all by myself. I'm trying to appreciate my body as it is and for each flaw I find in my body, I find a good thing too. I'm trying to get my mind off my looks (anime and TH-cam's playing a huge part in this) and trying to get myself back on a normal diet. I wish no one ever goes through what I went through and am currently going through. Wish me luck too :)
It starts with you wanting to be healthier You start making healthier food choices and begin to exercise Everything is so great and you feel stronger Suddenly you feel like you could get way better results if you cut back on food a little bit and exercised for a bit longer You start achieving the little goals you set but you are never satisfied At some point you will be eating 200 calories a day and it would feel like a lot You start exercising for way longer, like 7 hours a day Once you start with the intense exercising it will stick with you for a long time Your longest exercising time will become your minimum and you would feel so guilty if you don't at least reach that minimum ~ That is how it was for me, I wish I had never fallen into that deep hole Eating disorders are really really terrible
I hope you're doing well now. I was very much the same this summer, only I actually ate 1000+kcal (easily 1300+ because of fruit season) and didn't exercise that long. But it was not enough (food) and too much (fatigue). I broke, my mind and body broke and fell into a binge. I don't think I'll ever have the relationship with food as I had a year ago
i teared up so hard.. I know how she feels...I was in that same condition two years ago... my mom got worried about me not eating... it was so hard.. all for the sake to look pretty... now I don't really care anymore... I've learned to love myself... and I started to mix it.. eating both healthy and junky...i pray for people who are going through eating disorders ..I hope they make a break through ...and love themselves just the way they are ❤❤❤
Love this video. Been watching it for weeks now. Such an accurate representation of eating disorders. Do you have Instagram?? 💞 Love this. Keep up the good work 👏🏼
@@diarani6794 hey, sorry for the super late reply- but do you mind sharing it? I'd love to follow you on there!! You're super talented and to this day this is one of my favorite videos!
You know it’s hard. I’m a dancer, have been for 9 years now, I’m always comparing myself to the others. And at 12 you don’t rlly realize that your skipping meals or eating less. You realize your wait: 120lbs, I hate it, I’m not proud. You realize your size/proportions: waist 25, thighs 20. You realize the small things, the little details. You only think abt how everyone is 30 lbs less than you. And it’s hard when ppl ask why you don’t eat lunch, or breakfast. Or why you feel disgusting after eating a snack. Idk know if I have a problem, and idk why I’m so scared, but I am. I’m rlly scared rn, and idk why but I just am.😖 Edit: ok thx for the love, but I’m not 120lbs anymore, I’m around 116-117 (it changes throughout the day) idk why but I’m just adding that in. Also my waist, and thighs have almost gone down an inch kk.🥰🥰
I know it’s hard but please eat what you can, you are perfect the way you are Dont think otherwise you can do this, you may not take the words of a stranger but I’m sure you’ve got this
You're twelve? Ok, 120 for a twelve year old is a HEALTHY WEIGHT. If everyone your age is 30 lb less than you, they must be freaking dwarves otherwise they're underweight. Alright? 120 is the weight of a happy, healthy kid and I beg you don't feel bad about yourself. When I was 12 I was 120 lbs, and I was fine. I was perfectly fine. Please don't hate yourself, don't be scared. Everything will get better. Make sure you eat, you need food to grow and for your brain to develop properly. Just make sure you get sun and enough exercise. You don't need to be skinny. You need to be healthy. Do you understand? Don't worry. Everything will get better.
Eunice Yang -_- thx, it’s weird but when I eat, I feel like I did something wrong, and when I’m hungry I feel beautiful, and in control. But I’ll try, um ya thx it’s just hard sometimes🥰🥰✨✨✨✨✨
for anyone who sees this who is currently struggling with an eating disorder or is recovering you are so strong and brave please remember that you are beautiful and so is your body you will fight this i promise you will i understand and see you it will all be okay right now just focus on yourself and remember that all of this isn’t worth it you’re hurting yourself you are beautiful and don’t deserve to go through the pain you are going through please seek help i’m always here to talk
I have anorexia since i was 6 years old. Seems like some people dont understand even in the comments.. to be anorexic you have to be underweight, it is in the criteria, but there are overweight people as wel who have a thing called ATYPICAL anorexia
Although atypical anorexia nervosa and anorexia nervosa are defined as two different things, they are both anorexia. Anorexia is a mental disorder, not a weight disorder. Anyone can have it no matter what they look like or what their BMI is.
i seen a woman at a n/a camp vomiting her food. its a anti-drug camp. she was checking the ingredients on the soda the night before. i heard her in the toilet when i was showering, and i came out and i seen it come out her mouth. i used to struggle with bulimia and im trying so hard not to relapse, it annoys me how she just does it knowing people are in there.
This is me :-)... Thank you so much for making the video❤️.. I hope the people who make fun of others because they are fat, understand that it is not easy for them..well every type of body is beautiful as long as the person's soul is beautiful 🙏(peace✨)
The problem is (besides other things) when you are obsessing w being underweight BUT YOU ARE ALWAYS AT A HEALTHY WEIGHT so you don't feel "sick enough" to say you are sick. "EDs are mental illnesses, not body types"!
To everyone who is struggling: I know that I have no idea how you feel but I love you and think you are beautiful, no matter how you look. There is always someone that can help you get better, you just have to look a little harder sometimes. To everyone doing better: Keep it up, I'm so proud of you, I love you and think you're beautiful :) To everyone: The people who truly love you will help you and stay with you through everything. If you don't have those people, remember that with time, they will come. Stay safe and stay strong.
yk, like, I’ve eaten 300kcals all day even tho I’ve tried to fast so I go for a run, burning at least 300kcals and all the other things with it. Which is actually more efficient, talking from a medical perspective. Besides the obvious, like damaging your throat (if heavy vomiting or, bulimic malbehavioural habits are done for years your risk of developing esophagus cancer is enormous. And trust me, as a nurse i won’t recommend risking that) or lowering your heart rate (blood pressure is only second) to the point of fainting (nice to know: what triggers that explicit reflex of throwing up is caused by a nerve that goes from your brain along your spine, especially along the wall of the esophagus. It’s the nervus vagus which also lowers your heart rate and can cause an asystole of the heart. Your heart just stops in the worst case.) this kind of purging will cause ulcers in your stomach and a shift in your electrolytes. yk, all these little things like magnesium or calium or calcium, natrium, Vit.B6, Vit.B12, etc. your body needs for function. Your heart needs that (otherwise it’ll become arrythmic), your muscles need that (one word: cramps) your intestines need that (bowel movement) and every freaking cell needs that to function. To burn the fat you want to get rid of. If the tiniest things in your body are malnourished you’ve got yourself a long term problem in case you still won’t stop. So, do me a favour, or NO- Do yourself a favour: Stop vomiting. Think about your future. I’ve been there. I’ve gotten from anorexia to bulimia and my way back out of bulimia. You wanna be pretty and loved and happy? Stop shoving your finger down your throat. Go for a walk. Try jogging. Do some crunches or sit ups or whatsoever to cope with your intake if you have to. But don’t get yourself to throw up. I know we are strangers to each other and hell, who would even listen to me, but I really care about you guys and I don’t want you harm because you did not think it through for a second.
Luke Yaseen Ohh my god, your message hits me hard :( Thank you so much, you don’t know how much it means to me. I know I shouldn’t try to throw up but sometimes I’m feeling way too guilty and it seems like the only solution is to vomit. Anyway, you’re good person, thank you again. Have a great life ✨
@@xoxo5276 You’re very welcome and your comment brightened my entire day. I’m glad I could help. If you ever need to talk, I’m here to listen. I hope you start to feel less guilty and have a great life too. ❤️
It is just... Feeling under control, feeling control over what you eat, knowing how many calories are you consuming and see them lower and lower everyday makes me feel so damn fine.
you know it’s getting bad again when you’re watching these type of videos again
This is exactly what I thought as soon as I played this video
Me too
Same
...ye..
Im just starting
I love this! Not everyone with an eating disorder is stick thin, thank you.

Whimsical Wacko If you’re overweight it can be good to go on a diet, but it’s never good to starve yourself.
@@theeloquenteccentric8321 please educate yourself. This is so incorrect. Anorexia is a horrible disorder that takes over your brain,body and life. It doesn't matter if your overweight, healthy, or underweight.. it's bad for your health. As someone who stopped eating breakfast and lunch for a year to try to lose weight because I was over weight this is extremely rude to say!
@@icloveshs exactly!
@@theeloquenteccentric8321 anorexia does not help ANYONE. No matter your weight, it isn't simply a diet. They eat in amounts that wouldn't even provide suitable nutrition to a BABY because they've been told stuff like what you just said, and because of their "perfect" role models in the media. You don't just become anorexic, lose weight and then go back to eating a healthy amount. It stays with you for an extreme amount of time, haunting you and infecting your mind, taunting you. It is a lethal mental illness and you shouldn't be saying that it's fine for an overweight person to starve themselves. You should be ashamed, people have lost their lives to this and you're acting like its healthy
I hate the fact that I'm thinking about food 24/7 it's really affecting my study and hobby and makes me starve then binge :(
please eat so you can focus more give yourself one or two weeks break:((
This is the same case with, like i cannot relate more, the more i restrict, the worse it gets, and then i get ashamed even by thinking about food
Same

I was able to watch this while having dinner without it bothering me too much and I'm kinda proud of myself✨

Good Job my love 💗💗💗💗
So proud of you!! 🥺❤️
Congratulatiooons! That's so amazing
not me getting headaches everyday and constantly being tired from not eating enough calories but whatever i can do to lose weight
Literally me.
Noooo please I’m begging you to eat more. 1/5 people with anorexia die. Starving yourself will weaken your heart and so many other things. Please eat more, your body needs it to survive. I’ve been through it and it’s hell. I know this comment wont do much but I beg you please. Recovery is hard but it’s always worth it. If you need anything reach out to me ok?
it’s not quirky girl. nor is it fun. please seek help let’s not joke about this.

Is this how many cases of eating disorders start?
At first I just went on a healthy diet, eating okay, just healthy, low calorie foods. Then I started eating less. Then counting calories obsessively. Then eating became stressful. I don't have anorexia, not yet, but I might have some form of ED. And I don't want to stop, I will though.
You don't need to be stick thin to have anorexia. I think that's where society has a lot to catch up on. People assume that you're only anorexic when you're stick thin and your body's barely able to keep you alive. I'm at what most would consider healthy weight and I'm anorexic.
@@transmogrifying hey, is this suppose to be an information comment, or...? I never mentioned needing to be stick thin. I'm not stick thin and I have undereaten, shown signs of ED, I don't want anorexia though. I agree with your point though, just a bit confused. I hope you recover ❤️
@@mhm77887 i guess it's more toward you saying "you don't have anorexia, at least not yet" i'm just trying to let people know that it's possible to be anorexic without being underweight. Anorexia's more about what you said, undereating, and i hope you get better too😄
I'm basically beginning to starve myself and I know I need to stop but I just can't. My brain convinces me that I have to eat tiny amounts on the occasions that I do eat, I'm also trying to stop counting calories but I simply can't.
well it's a definitely a disordered mindset...

It just goes to show how serious an eating disorder can be and the damages it can do
you restrict for so long. when you do get the food you want, you eat until everything is gone and starve for days then binge then starve.
it's a cycle.

😓😔😭how can I end it.....
Exactly

Hey if you want we can talk i have Instagram im_emmiy okay.
i love this portrayal of an eating disorder, i relate to it a lot more than other films. in movies people with eating disorders are always thin and then they become severely underweight and whenever they purge it looks a lot less disgusting than it is. this is way more realistic, good job
I agree!! There may be a lot of suffering from anorexia but I do think bulimia is a much more hidden issue to be mentioned

Progress's

beautiful acting and the music adds so much,,, i love it!
perfect representation of the binge-restrict cycle. everyone expects someone with ana to not binge, but very few times is that the case, and people with ana do purge, but it's part of their long-lasting restrict cycle unlike bulimia. this vid is honestly one of the most accurate representations of eds ive ever seen. good job.

My daughter is about to graduate from RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) with a Bachelor's in the Fine Arts. She just had to do her final film, which was finished not long ago. It was mental health-related, too. I can so appreciate these small independent films and the filmmakers behind them! I am so proud to watch these films, knowing how much blood, sweat, and tears have gone into making them. Good work!
~A Proud RIT Parent :)
that is amazing!! i hope the project turned out well. agreed, these small independent films can be the most beautiful 🤍
I never looked thin even when I starved for years, ate 1 piece of bread a day, drank a gallon of water to stay full, exercised for hours without eating. People loved how pale I was "porcelain skin". 45 kgs 5'5" my friends kept calling me chubby, I kept starving myself. I was never thin enough, until I crashed, I nearly died of severe anemia, prone to brain haemorrhage. It took me 3 years to be back to normal.
My request to everyone going through this.. Please do not listen to anyone, prioritise yourself, have opinion of yourself through your eyes. My best friend was the one who fatshamed me, she'll never get it. And I don't care.
I struggle with self image a lot. While I very thankfully do not have an eating disorder, I wish I could push myself to be better. Work out. Eat healthier. And yet I don’t have the energy to do it.
An eating disorder is not the “pretty” mental disorder. It’s more than that. Much more. In media and in movies it’s portrayed as forcing yourself not to eat. It shows purging on food as eating a lot, running into the bathroom, and running out and being “pretty” and “slim” again. This shows the cold, hard truth of an eating disorder. It wraps around your mind and changes the way you view yourself and everything around you. It shows the dark side, or really what an eating disorder truly is.
I hope any of you struggling with a disorder to get better, and I know it’s hard but you CAN heal. You are NEVER “too far gone”. You can heal and get better and I promise it’s not over yet. You have purpose. You are beautiful and amazing just the way you are. I love you, and hope you’re okay.
I’m so happy that people are finally able to address the problem of binge-eating after forcing a diet on yourself, and the fact that people with an ED aren’t always like- stick figures.
This appears on my recommendations right on the day I failed with my recovery...
It's always "I'm almost there" it's always just a little bit more, and just like that years have gone by
For anybody reading this, please remember that you are loved, and that your body deserves nourishment. I don't know what it's like to struggle with this illness, but please please please remember to take care of yourself. You don't need to obsess over calories. They will not kill you, they will not make you fat. You are beautiful in your natural state, and your body deserves your love. You deserve to be more than skin and bones. Skinny is not beautiful, It is unhealthy , so please, for your future self, get help.
stop being insensitive and educate yourself. the fact you don’t even know what it’s like to have anorexia and still consider giving this shitty advice is triggering and disgusting.
@@mollie-maiellmer6607 I'm really sorry this made you so angry. I have struggled with eating disorders before, just not anorexia. I'm not sure how this is insensitive or triggering in and of itself, especially when the video itself is about anorexia.

Binge on things take up space in your stomach without a lot of calories, like raw veggies. Don't purge, it doesn't work and it destroys your teeth
@@annewithane7876 is it also a disorder when you do the same but without purging
@@someoneswig1263 binge? Yeah, binging is disordered. But it isn't as bad as binging and purging
Definitely seek help. I would talk to someone about it. You can work on it. It's up to you to make yourself better.

I WAS LOOKING FOR A COMMENT LIKE THIS. THATS WHAT I THOUGHT
The worst thing about an eating disorder is when you start you can’t go back. It usually starts with someone telling you you need to eat less, that you should lose weight, or something like that. Then you decide to eat less one day. But it’s never just “one day.” Because soon you realize you don’t remember a day where you aren’t thinking about how to eat less. “Eating less” turns into only eating one meal a day, only eating one meal a day turns into starving yourself. Then you start to see the numbers on the scale slowly going down. It’s become an addiction. Sometimes it crosses your mind to try and eat something but then you think to yourself “If I look like this while not eating then how much will I weigh when if I go back to normal” and if you do eat a full meal you feel horrible. But you don’t just feel horrible, you also feel extremely happy to finally stop the constant hunger. But now a normal dinner with your family doesn’t feel the same and you still have that horrible feeling every time you put the fork to your lips. Every time the lunch bell rings it feels like a burden to open your lunch pail and actually eat something. Then you remember that this all started from “one day” that you tried to “eat less”.
Once you start you can’t go back.
I’ve recently tried to get better. I’m eating more than 1000 calories now ( a forbidden number when I was starving myself. )
I could go days eating only upwards of 500 cals. It hurt to stand, I was so dizzy I felt like I was going to pass out and never wake up.
I danced until my legs shook, I don’t think my body could take how much deficit I was in.
Yet, I miss those days. I miss feeling light and boney, and whenever I felt dizzy, I felt like I was getting somewhere.
I think I’m relapsing
please don’t like this comment
Please don't.
I PROMISE you, i felt the exact same way, i didnt want to be better, but trust me, the feeling of hapiness after recovery is INCREDIBLE
You got this, I believe in you.
How was your day today?

Lived this for 35 years. Very good short, actually.... brilliant.
This is so real, thank you for creating this. Shining light on the reality of what someone goes through with an eating disorder.
I’ve been dieting since I was 12, developed bulimia at 20 and still struggling at 25.
my binge eatin ass starts working out, skipping meals, and drinking water so i could drown in it when i relaise what i am doing

I dont understand i eat like 1,500 a day an input you can live off of and I still gain like 2 pounds, its just easier to starve myself
please don’t starve yourself. I’ve been through it. Weight gain is not a bad thing. Please I’m begging you to please try eating more. I know me saying eat doesn’t help at all, but consider recovery please. 1/5 people with anorexia die, it’s very dangerous. Please do not starve yourself. If you need to talk ever lmk
Skip breakfast
Don't do that. Your body is probably in calorie deficit. Please realize your body is doing autocanninalism right now. Your body is eating itself if you starve yourself. At some point if this continues you won't even be able to shower without risk of a heart attack. Please GO GET HELP. Life isn't a scale it's an experience.
@@asavelayoung7315 nonono!!!!!! Breakfast is the most important meal, as it's basically the fuel for your body, it's what keeps your body going NEVER skip breakfast
There's no point in starving yourself, because eating less food slows down your metabolism, which means you'd gain weight faster. Instead, eat more, but smartly, don't eat too much fat and oil and increase foods like vegetables, eggs and rice in your meals (or search up on google meal recipe that don't contain lots of fat). Doctors say that starving yourself is not important, what's important is excersize and eating smartly. Don't do this to yourself! It's not good for you, you'll be so fraile that you cant even bend down properly.
One of the bests i've seen, it really shows the truth about eating disorders
I'm tryna recover n ryt now I ate noodles 4bananas, 1apple, I chocolate, fried peanuts n chickpea 😌n I'm proud of myself
This is an excellent piece of cinematic work, as well as a realistic and poignant depiction. Thank you.
So accurate, makes me so sad, I wouldn't let my worst enemy go through it
Good short film!
To all of you who are suffering: It's possible to get better. I'm waiting for you on the other side. Keep going!
for everybody out there struggling: you can and deserve to recover! after 5 years of being sick and miserable, I've been in recovery for about 2 years now and it's the best decision I ever made! I still can't say I'm fully recovered, but I'm at a normal weight now, eating normal sizes of food and treating my body gently. life is so better now. you can do this.
p.s. you don't need to have an eating disorder or to restrict to be thin, alright? having an ED means you're miserable and sad and sick, not that you'll get thin faster or discipline yourself better.
Watching this when you have anorexia binge eating type hits hard because all of this, is what I go through. The starving and/or purging, then bingeing, the guilt for bingeing, and then purging and/or starving. It's a cycle I can't stop and I kinda don't want to stop
Love the way you've portrayed this. Incredible! So proud of you❤
today was the first day i ate breakfast without feeling guilty, i am still thinking about exercing afterwards, but not excessively, just because it really makes me feel kinda better emotionally and i was stuck in my room for days. I think i can do it, i just need to be free from the shame that this illness makes me feel.
i have anorexia but no one will ever understand because i’m not as skinny as the typical standard for anorexia. my friends always ask why i don’t eat at school yet i stay so “healthy” little do they know

Since everybody is saying theyre story i will tell mine: So im 12 and ive always been rlly skinny which was hard for me to gain weight but i was eating perfect and i was healthy since corona virus came back i was eating alot i love eating but at some point my own step mother said that i got a fat stomach and when her mother came over and visited she said i got fatter cheeks, since i was getting clothes out that didn't fit me and my stepmother was just surprised because she said im getting fat and i have been having those clothes for years and i told her well i have been having those clothes for years and my stepmom isn't i dontwant to sound rude but she isn't "fit" either she has been working out and stuff so i decided why not i have a perfect body just not a flat stomach and i got insecure about it looking the mirror all the time just starring of my stomach so i didn't decide to go on a diet but i saw a youtuber who said her secrets to having a flat stomach and eating everything she wanted i watched it and she said that she eats smaller meals so i only ate 3 meals per day max and i would try to eat smaller have a smaller plate of food every time i did and i started getting headacks and was tired cold my hair started falling out when i brushed it and i was hoping since eating smaller meals i would get a flat stomach and exercising well all of that i searched it up and i was getting almost all the symptoms of me being anorexic and i almost started crying and a few days later i started eating more and i don't get headache's anymore as much and my hairs isn't falling anymore but im still very insecure about my stomach i feel like im falling back in the track of getting a eating disorder today i ate chicken rice and veggies but my body wanted more food and i did but im still hungry and still want to eat but it pases away i still don't consider having a disorder im scared of considering that i had a eating disorder im not sure if i did also My dad started realizing that i was eating less.

Thank u for sharing ur story, for ppl struggling with an ED just know that u r strong and although its so hard to keep in mind, remember that you are so much more than wat u look like
My family used to call me too thin. Whenever my cousins had friends over they'd literally call me a "stick" and even my own mom was like "Looks like the wind is gonna blow you away any day now." So I let them all get to me and I ate A LOT without ever exercising and I gained weight, but not too much weight (or so I thought). I was pretty happy with the results. Until people started called me fat and ugly. Even my best friend off-handedly remarked one day "Why are you getting so fat? It doesn't suit you at all." And as people said this stuff I myself started noticing things in me that I never noticed before. Like how big my stomach was getting or how chubby my cheeks were or how fat my legs looked. So I tried to stop eating at all and exercise, but I couldn't commit and my parents forcefully fed me. I know that it was for my own good, but at that time, I used to think it was to torment me and that they didn't understand. See, they were those type of people who thought "Teenagers are children. They can't have depression." I did stop eating everything eventually but that didn't fix the image I had in mind of my body. So as was expected I developed social anxiety and a really low self-esteem. I shut up saying anything at school thinking "Anything I'd say would be useless and stupid. My other friends are better. Let them talk." I deleted all my social media accounts. Everyday, I'd find a new flaw in my appearance and cry for hours over it. I used to think that God had created me just so others could think better of themselves when they saw me. I went over the top to make sure my crush never ever saw me. In fact I started hiding from boys in general thinking that if they saw me, they'd make fun of me.
I haven't told anyone about this. Now, I'm trying to overcome this all all by myself. I'm trying to appreciate my body as it is and for each flaw I find in my body, I find a good thing too. I'm trying to get my mind off my looks (anime and TH-cam's playing a huge part in this) and trying to get myself back on a normal diet. I wish no one ever goes through what I went through and am currently going through. Wish me luck too :)
It starts with you wanting to be healthier
You start making healthier food choices and begin to exercise
Everything is so great and you feel stronger
Suddenly you feel like you could get way better results if you cut back on food a little bit and exercised for a bit longer
You start achieving the little goals you set but you are never satisfied
At some point you will be eating 200 calories a day and it would feel like a lot
You start exercising for way longer, like 7 hours a day
Once you start with the intense exercising it will stick with you for a long time
Your longest exercising time will become your minimum and you would feel so guilty if you don't at least reach that minimum

That is how it was for me, I wish I had never fallen into that deep hole
Eating disorders are really really terrible
I hope you're doing well now. I was very much the same this summer, only I actually ate 1000+kcal (easily 1300+ because of fruit season) and didn't exercise that long. But it was not enough (food) and too much (fatigue). I broke, my mind and body broke and fell into a binge. I don't think I'll ever have the relationship with food as I had a year ago
i teared up so hard.. I know how she feels...I was in that same condition two years ago... my mom got worried about me not eating... it was so hard.. all for the sake to look pretty... now I don't really care anymore...

Love this video. Been watching it for weeks now. Such an accurate representation of eating disorders.
Do you have Instagram?? 💞
Love this. Keep up the good work 👏🏼
Yes I do!
@@diarani6794 hey, sorry for the super late reply- but do you mind sharing it? I'd love to follow you on there!! You're super talented and to this day this is one of my favorite videos!
Ramro lagyo!!!Acting pane natural cha there is no over acting!!! Best of luck for upcoming video’s!!! Future actress😍😍😍
1:39 maybe the dress don't fit cuz you got on a fracken sweater
The sad thing that people like us who aren’t super skinny will be praised and cheered on
You know it’s hard. I’m a dancer, have been for 9 years now, I’m always comparing myself to the others. And at 12 you don’t rlly realize that your skipping meals or eating less. You realize your wait: 120lbs, I hate it, I’m not proud. You realize your size/proportions: waist 25, thighs 20. You realize the small things, the little details. You only think abt how everyone is 30 lbs less than you. And it’s hard when ppl ask why you don’t eat lunch, or breakfast. Or why you feel disgusting after eating a snack. Idk know if I have a problem, and idk why I’m so scared, but I am. I’m rlly scared rn, and idk why but I just am.😖
Edit: ok thx for the love, but I’m not 120lbs anymore, I’m around 116-117 (it changes throughout the day) idk why but I’m just adding that in. Also my waist, and thighs have almost gone down an inch kk.🥰🥰
I know it’s hard but please eat what you can, you are perfect the way you are Dont think otherwise you can do this, you may not take the words of a stranger but I’m sure you’ve got this
You're twelve? Ok, 120 for a twelve year old is a HEALTHY WEIGHT. If everyone your age is 30 lb less than you, they must be freaking dwarves otherwise they're underweight. Alright? 120 is the weight of a happy, healthy kid and I beg you don't feel bad about yourself. When I was 12 I was 120 lbs, and I was fine. I was perfectly fine. Please don't hate yourself, don't be scared. Everything will get better. Make sure you eat, you need food to grow and for your brain to develop properly. Just make sure you get sun and enough exercise. You don't need to be skinny. You need to be healthy. Do you understand? Don't worry. Everything will get better.

I have anorexia since i was 6 years old. Seems like some people dont understand even in the comments.. to be anorexic you have to be underweight, it is in the criteria, but there are overweight people as wel who have a thing called ATYPICAL anorexia
Although atypical anorexia nervosa and anorexia nervosa are defined as two different things, they are both anorexia. Anorexia is a mental disorder, not a weight disorder. Anyone can have it no matter what they look like or what their BMI is.
@@meherrawlley yes but the treatment is different, I have been in the hospital the whole year, I have seen it all
Anorexia is a mental disorder
Amazing short movie ....thank you for sharing
i seen a woman at a n/a camp vomiting her food.
its a anti-drug camp.
she was checking the ingredients on the soda the night before.
i heard her in the toilet when i was showering, and i came out and i seen it come out her mouth.
i used to struggle with bulimia and im trying so hard not to relapse, it annoys me how she just does it knowing people are in there.
This is me :-)... Thank you so much for making the video❤️.. I hope the people who make fun of others because they are fat, understand that it is not easy for them..well every type of body is beautiful as long as the person's soul is beautiful 🙏(peace✨)
It's like watching my daily life, it brokes my heart how hard i try but i can't get over it
The problem is (besides other things) when you are obsessing w being underweight BUT YOU ARE ALWAYS AT A HEALTHY WEIGHT so you don't feel "sick enough" to say you are sick. "EDs are mental illnesses, not body types"!
To everyone who is struggling: I know that I have no idea how you feel but I love you and think you are beautiful, no matter how you look. There is always someone that can help you get better, you just have to look a little harder sometimes.
To everyone doing better: Keep it up, I'm so proud of you, I love you and think you're beautiful :)
To everyone: The people who truly love you will help you and stay with you through everything. If you don't have those people, remember that with time, they will come. Stay safe and stay strong.
days where I either don’t eat for days or i over eat till I throw up sometimes, there’s no in between
i’m not sure why but lately i’ve been working on losing weight and i keep watching these videos and they make me want to lose even more weight
NO. You need to STAY HEALTHY. Skinny does NOT mean healthy. Your body deserves nourishment.
You know its bad when you come back to these videos
I don’t manage to throw up ?? How u guys do it ?
yk, like, I’ve eaten 300kcals all day even tho I’ve tried to fast so I go for a run, burning at least 300kcals and all the other things with it. Which is actually more efficient, talking from a medical perspective.
Besides the obvious, like
damaging your throat (if heavy vomiting or, bulimic malbehavioural habits are done for years your risk of developing esophagus cancer is enormous. And trust me, as a nurse i won’t recommend risking that) or
lowering your heart rate (blood pressure is only second) to the point of fainting (nice to know: what triggers that explicit reflex of throwing up is caused by a nerve that goes from your brain along your spine, especially along the wall of the esophagus. It’s the nervus vagus which also lowers your heart rate and can cause an asystole of the heart. Your heart just stops in the worst case.)
this kind of purging will cause ulcers in your stomach and a shift in your electrolytes.
yk, all these little things like magnesium or calium or calcium, natrium, Vit.B6, Vit.B12, etc. your body needs for function. Your heart needs that (otherwise it’ll become arrythmic), your muscles need that (one word: cramps) your intestines need that (bowel movement) and every freaking cell needs that to function.
To burn the fat you want to get rid of.
If the tiniest things in your body are malnourished you’ve got yourself a long term problem in case you still won’t stop.
So, do me a favour, or NO-
Do yourself a favour:
Stop vomiting.
Think about your future.
I’ve been there. I’ve gotten from anorexia to bulimia and my way back out of bulimia.
You wanna be pretty and loved and happy?
Stop shoving your finger down your throat.
Go for a walk. Try jogging. Do some crunches or sit ups or whatsoever to cope with your intake if you have to. But don’t get yourself to throw up.
I know we are strangers to each other and hell, who would even listen to me, but I really care about you guys and I don’t want you harm because you did not think it through for a second.
Luke Yaseen Ohh my god, your message hits me hard :( Thank you so much, you don’t know how much it means to me.
I know I shouldn’t try to throw up but sometimes I’m feeling way too guilty and it seems like the only solution is to vomit. Anyway, you’re good person, thank you again. Have a great life ✨
@@xoxo5276 You’re very welcome and your comment brightened my entire day. I’m glad I could help. If you ever need to talk, I’m here to listen. I hope you start to feel less guilty and have a great life too. ❤️
I love this type of Indian short films . Eating disorder is no joke
Just a reminder, for anyone who reads this. Anorexia, bulimia, bpd, binge eating, etc are all eating disorders, not weight disorders.
bpd??? its a personality disorder
It is just... Feeling under control, feeling control over what you eat, knowing how many calories are you consuming and see them lower and lower everyday makes me feel so damn fine.
