You were the reason I decided to start recovery, hearing how much better you've gotten since then made me want to recover too. I would watch you're videos and eat with you and the more I did the less scarier it got. So I wanna say thank you for everything you do
haven’t even started the video yet and i can already tell it’s going to be amazing :) i am so incredibly happy for you for choosing recovery and happiness. thank you so much for being a beacon of hope and such a beautiful soul
I’m so proud of you for fighting for your life for an entire year. You have helped me more than you will ever know. I decided to stop restricting on April 8, 2021, very shortly after finding your channel. Thank you for being a resource when I felt like I didn’t have a single one left❤️
It's actually crazy how far i've come! i used to watch your videos right at the start of my recovery; i genuinely can't believe how far i've gotten in recovery-i'm back at school and i'm finally getting to do the things i wanted to do all on my own!! 2022 is going to be a great year!
You repeatedly set the standard for the right way to do things. You’re the only channel I watch that is this compassionate and empathic and TRULY cares about others recovery.
I'm so deeply proud of you, you've come such a long way! I love to see your smile and happiness. Thank you for showing us a glimpse of your journey and the help that you did to the people suffering from an ed. xx
The all “what would you say to ro from a year ago” response really move me. I’ve turned 19 recently and decided to get ride of alcohol to stop living through anxiety, stress, withdrawal and all those terrible consequences on health. Seeing someone being able to get out of such dark path and talking about what a year pushing through can change everything really push me forward to keep doing it. I hope being able to see myself in a year and appreciate that I’ve been able to achieve that. I also totally agree that some people from the healthcare system don’t really get and always makes you feel like it’s gonna be unbearable forever and I’m grateful that i now have found a good team which support my decisions, help getting through hard times but still I’m able to keep the leadership of this journey. For anyone struggling out there, there’s only a path to recovery, not always the easiest, you’ll have to give up on a lot but also gaining yourself back, which I think should be the main aim❤️
I've been in recovery for 9 years, I'm 22 now. It's probably the hardest thing we might ever have to do and it feels like a lot of time was wasted just feeling shit and anxious and worried about food. But I'm really glad you chose to embark on this journey when you did. These next few years of early adulthood are going to be AMAZING for you if you can keep pushing on through it. I know some days you might feel a bit wobbly but just remember how much you have fought to be here now ❤ excited to see where you take your channel/content next as well
I'm also in recovery. Not from an eating disorder, but from complex trauma. But you still inspire me so much to keep going and showing up for me everyday !
super super proud of you. even though it’s different, the aim of trying to do better for yourself and forgive yourself is equally important. all my love 🤎
7:57 this actually helped me so much. I didn't even realise that I was doing this but now I realise that stress is pretty much the only reason I feel tempted to relapse or have bad body image days. Now that I know this, I can do something about it . Thank you Ro :)
hey ro! just wanted to say that i’m extremely proud of you even tho i don’t know u. you inspire so many people with your consistency and by showing how difficult it is, but you still keep fighting
You actually had so much help. Your parents are much more support than I ever had ir have. For someone to positively cheer you through every meal is above and beyond whatever outside help you could possibly get. I hope you realize how lucky you are. I had a brief period of my brother trying to coach me through eating meals and he was always furious with me about it. Your parents did it with love.....
I've been watching you for ages and honestly it's been like watching you become yourself. You are amazing Ro, seeing you become who you are and fight for your life back has done so much for all of us, I am so proud of you
you are genuinely my favourite recovery account. you don’t show any triggering pictures or videos, you just show how amazing and beautiful recovery can be. ur an angel, hope you are doing good
I’ve watched from the beginning and I’m so happy for you. You’ve been so brave and so strong. I hope others see this and are inspired to get healthy because they’re worthy of a happy life.
I’m so so proud of you and how far you’ve come this year. You showed the world that it is possible to completely turn your life around in one year. You’re brilliant. I know it’s not easy and it definitely isn’t all unicorn and rainbows but you’ll get there. Keep fighting Ro, you deserve not only to eat and rest but also to live a full happy life. I hope you’re proud of yourself too. Sending you a lot of love, as always xxx
I just wanted to thank you for sharing your journey and for helping me, and probably many others, to heal our relationship with food❤️❤️ And also I’m so proud of you for how far you’ve come, lots of love💗
I don’t think I’ve ever felt this touched by and proud of a person I don’t know before ❤️ like you saying “I’m not gonna let a donut stand in the way” and suddenly I was weeping because a such nice soul is finally taken care of and it’s a blessing to watch. And even when your videos are focused on food, it just seems like other things also have a place in your mind simultaneously, and I didn’t get that feeling in you earlier videos. I got the impression that 110% of your focus was on the food (in the beginning), while now you describe that it’s just something that you consume and is not up for debate (which should be the case, of course - or of course for me who doesn’t have an eating disorder, but not for everyone). You’re just bossing it, killing it, doing it. Keep going Ro, we’re rooting for you! 💖
Thank you for being honest about where you no longer struggle, it's so refreshing to see someone in recovery saying where they don't struggle anymore rather than where you do !!
Ro, I just want to say thank you so much. I am almost a year in to recovery as well, and it was your videos that helped inspire me. I would eat and cry along with you while getting stronger each day. We don’t know each other but without your support and videos, I would not be where I am today!
im so incredibly proud of how far you've come, I still remember watching your first ever video a year ago and already feeling so inspired by you. Im so thankful that you exist not gonna lie hahaha keep going lovely 🤍
Hey 👋, I just wanted to tell you that you’ve really helped me. You’ve inspired my countless times and helped me choose to keep fighting this disorder because we all deserve happiness and love even if we don’t feel like we love ourselves. So thank you from the bottom of my heart. X
Hey there! I'm from Argentina and I was suffering from Anorexia too. I have been in recovery for 7 months so far and I just wanted to say that your videos inspired me a lot! I started watching your recovery journey before I started my own and it helped me a lot to make the decision of finally start it and getting healthy. I know your struggle and I just wanted you to know that with this videos you're helping a lot of people like me. Thank you so much for doing this
I am so happy for your recovery, and I am quite positive about the fact that your experiences will help many others to change the road from death to life. Your videos have also helped me to realize early enough that my weight loss journey (that I truly needed to get into a healthy and strong state) is sliding into an unhealthy attitude towards food as I realized certain habits that I started to have were similar to some things you talked about. I was quite shocked about this but was able to push the brake early enough. Thank you for your openness. ❤
You are so inspiring. You are helping me and so many other people to make a decision and to choose life. I'm glad that I have found this channel and I can listen to someone who went trough this and keeps pushing.I know in the end I have to “just“ do it. But listening to this positivity makes me feel a little bit calmer. I am also really proud of you! Thank you Ro! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!😪💓
I am so proud of you! I am grateful for you, as well. Not only did I follow you on your journey, I joined you in recovery. I struggle and had setbacks, but for the most part I did well. I can eat what I want within my set caloric needs and I can exercise, choosing joyful movement, without overdoing it. I don't always love the way my body looks, but I love what it is capable of doing. I have learned to love myself again, for my good qualities and accept my flaws. The biggest thing I've learned, just like you, is that I'm in competition with nobody.
I am sooo happy and soo lucky to have found you as someone I feel who is an amazing supportive and understanding woman. I won't know how you start but....I truly feel for you when you first began your journey, at least featured on TH-cam, recovering from anorexia. You fought hard and you risk your old life for this new life you knew nothing about...but the outcomes were pretty much everything you have always wanted. I dony want to put words in your mouth or say the wrong things so I'll do my best but a lot of the things you said throughout the whole year here I so can relate and feel like a have more hope that things can change. Their are a few people I found on TH-cam that have made me feel this way and your certainly one of them. You talked about so many things that I felt like I was such a loony about and you shared things that I have used to help me through my hard points..still today...for example I remember when you when to eat out with your family and you ordered the highest calorie on the menu and told yourself, like you do, that if you choose the higher calorie meal and knowing that you did it made you feel like you can have absolutely anything and nothing bad happens and even having it again. Despite all the uncomfortable feeling you sticked with it..whether it was eating out or eating at home. Ooh gosh, my favorites were the talks whilst eating the challenge food or when you didn't feel so good. Your family was so supportive too. You talks were soo lovely and encouraging. Tbh, I never has a saying for me to keep pushing with having to challenge a unhealthy behavior for me but not til the end of 2020 I thought.."the more I eat the better I'll feel" actually was something that push me to keep going...never did I thought it would work...it's not perfect all the time but it's like what you did with the talks to yourself. I had to even say those kinds of this out loud haha...I am a lot stronger and I appreciate that you have been that person to bring hope in me even those tiny moments. However, sry...it's about you. I always believed that you could do this. Its so nice and heart warming that you say that you don't feel scared with food like you did, that you eat when you want and have what you know now like and enjoy and how much.....it's so beautiful. These things is something to strive for...living not surviving...easier said than done but it can and I hope it can happen to me... I am so glad and joyous that you have someone (bf) who appreciates you, and I know they would, that you open your heart to them by letting him do thing for you and gift you with love(loads of stuff..food, hugs, feelings, their ear, their thoughts, suggestions, their story, friendship...). Your such a wonderful, inspiring, wise, intelligent, beautiful, caring, interesting, factual, determined, helpful, creative, funny, friendly woman who deserves nothing but the best. Thank you Ro, happy one year. Sry it was super long. Love you loads. 🖤 🤗 👏💚 💙 🐾 💭🗣️🆓🥊👥😌🥺✨💪🧘🍌🥯🍫🍣🥄☕🏡🎥📱🔁🆓☮️🖕🏞️
You are literally one of my biggest motivations to keep going with recovery. I actually decided to eat intuitiatively thanks to you. I hope one day I will be able to sit down and say all those things you said about getting healthier. I am so glad you are doing okay, thank you for being there for us all
Never give up. You are SO much greater than anything that is trying to bring you down. They are essentially things in your head that don't physically exist (although I know this isn't how we think when we feel rubbish). But you are here, really here, physically present and living. You are so much greater. ❤
I found a place with my body where I realized, loving it was never about liking every aspect of how it looked but it is a connection with it that I never ever knew was possible to have. It took some hard effort in healing. One of the things I am most happy about accomplishing, is actually alleviating my body dysmorphia, when dysmorphia is the only feeling I ever remember having about my body. I don´t remember a single time growing up feeling connected to my body. Now I do. And no, the body dysmorphia doesn´t just go away. I`ve just realized and accepted that my body is me and I am the only one that is going to take care of myself. I feel my that my body trust me again and that is amazing. If you are out there, thinking you are never going to like your body, constantly mirrorchecking and feeling that everytime you try to like your body, you are only trying to deceive yourself, know that that is not true. Loving your body is probably not what you think, I know it can feel unattainable but if you believe, have a realistic approach to it and believe it, you will be able to reconnect with your body. It is the greatest feeling in the world to be able to feel comfortable in your own skin, not caring about the flaws or the parts you find ugly.
I think that message of relapse is very helpful as it dispels that myth that having bad days and acting on your thoughts is ok and a part of recovery as it's not meant to be linear. I agree that it's about NOT acting on the thoughts. Otherwise those times that you choose ana become your life again.
I will admit I was getting a bit concerned when I hadn’t seen any videos for a while, but I figured you were busy with university finals, then the holidays, and start of a new semester/term. It’s okay to struggle with mental health, I also struggle with it (I made the decision to go off of anti-depressants two years ago, and I completely understand the nausea, lack of appetite, etc.), plus we are in the middle of a pandemic. We don’t want to get sick, we have loved ones who are getting sick or dying, lock downs are taking the toll on all of us, and the not knowing is hard even on the strongest individuals. Im so proud of you and everything you have accomplished this past year. Thank you for allowing us to support you when you are down, for your rawness and honesty. You don’t realize how many lives you have touched or saved. Thank you for blessings us in ways you could never imagine. Good luck this coming semester/term. You Got This!
CONGRATULATIONS !!!!! I’m really happy to see where you got. I’m so happy to see you didn’t give up! You are the reason why i started recovery. You’re such an incredible inspiring person. I’m so proud of you!!!!!! ❤️❤️
I'm in recovery since october / november. I have appointments with an amazing dietician and since then I'm just living again. You inspired me SO MUCH. Thank you.
Extremely happy for you Ro. We are very proud of you and for those who are recovering aswell and trying to recover just keep going because things will get better and don't be too hard on yourself. We are proud of you. Love yall
Its crazy how you inspired me to recover and now Im almost a year in recovery and I have the best relationship with food ever. Thank you for everything, I admire you and Im soooo proud of you
i know this channel is about you challenging your ed, but i rlly want to see more of your life and how you go about your day:) you just have this calming presence that i absolutely love and seem like the sweetest person
wow, ur absolutely amazing. i’m in recovery rn and it’s been SO hard. family and friends don’t understand it. my family has just been telling me to eat and tbh i haven’t had much support bc they simply don’t understand, which i can’t blame them. but watching people like u, HELPS ME SO MUCH. like i can’t even put into words how much you’ve helped, ur actually the first person i saw on social media who truly motivated me to recover. so thank you for helping me and others. (also SO PROUD of where u are now w/ recovery. i hope u start feeling a bit better mental health wise. ur so strong and deserve the best:))
Kudos to managing eating disorder and other mental health problems. As someone with complex mental health problems that affect all my life AND a long term ED I totally get it and how each other influences the other. You are not alone. I’m currently in a mental health unit and trying to turn round a serious ED relapse that landed me in general hospital, it’s hard - and I’m still very much at the beginning and taking baby steps but your videos are literally keeping me going every meal time. You are such a mature head on those young shoulders. Hats off to everything you’re doing! X
Last night i was soooooo close at slipping…recovering from binge eating and bulimia…”you’ll sleep better if you don’t feel so full” (had not binged) and was soooo close…I brushed my teeth and ignored my bulimic voice and I slept fine…you’re channel has helped me!!! I’m in week 3 of recovery doing it all by myself (12years of being ill everyday!)…so thanks
@@sintara8442 thanks it’s not easy only bit that is better is that I used to deep clean my toilet every night for fear that of i died in my sleep that there would be no evidence of my ED and that who ever emptied/cleaned my house after i had died that no one would ever find out… that darkness has lifted…
Hey Ro! You’ve done amazing, I’m so proud of you ❤️ I hope know that you are such an inspiration to young girls like me who have struggled with food and body image Xx
Congrulations Ro! You are really doing well i think.. I started to watch your videos when i was in my worst anorexia time.. i started my recovery, got out of hospital, went back to my school.. And im happy we both achieved it even if it regret my recovery... im proud of you
You are my role model. Your wonderful words and videos have accompanied me in my recovery since I chose to fight against anorexia. And like you I am doing pretty well. Thank you so much for being my inspiration and for your honest words ❤️
I'm so incredibly proud of how far you've come! you've pushed and fought so hard to get to this point and it has paid off. You inspire me and so many others to start/keep with recovery despite all the emotions and struggles we all will face. You're truly an inspiration to all and we're all just so proud!
What I learned last year with it, is that each new moment is a new opportunity to do what's best for you. Cause perfection doesn't exist and we can make a mistake, but it's never too late to stop being destructive.
i just want to say that you honestly inspire me so much and your videos really help me when i'm struggling. also congratulations you're doing so well 💛
What an inspiring, strong and eloquent person you are. You look and sound amazing 🥰 I’m so very happy you got through this awful part of your life and fought back and I wish you every bit of happiness and health for the future
ABSOLUTE QUEEN! thank you for advocating that in order to recover, YOU have to make the choice and take the steps, while being hinest with yourself, which I tink a huge amount of people struggle with!
Really happy to see you thrive! :) I’ve been physically recovered for almost five years now! I have small relapses, but i bounce back easily from them because i have a good buffer now, because i’m muscular and healthy! :3 Well wishes!
You are such a calming presence I can't even begin to describe it. Thank you for putting yourself out here on youtube and sharing your journey with such honesty and compassion. I'm sure you have changed a lot of lives and I am definitely one of them. Keep up the good work. Keep fighting. You got this.
its so nice to see you back !! im so so so sooo happy to hear how you’ve been pushing through with your recovery even when you don’t feel 100%. youre such an inspiration to me and some days, when i feel like giving up, i resort to your videos because i know they will make me feel better and give me the courage to achieve full food freedom
I remember thinking I’d never recover when I first watched u now I’m back to the weight I was before I ever restricted n I’ve never felt stronger or been healthier all my vitals r finally normal again n I can donate blood (: my hair barely falls out anymore n I’ve never been happier thank u for being u u inspired to get my life back now I’m onto tackling the other things I want to improve in my life for my overall happiness (:
Just this afternoon, I was missing you and decided to check your new videos. When I didn't see any, I started binge-watching old videos. I love you Ro!
Thank you so much for your honesty and strength! Sorry to hear you're down at the moment; please don't feel forced to share those things when you feel uncomfortable to do so; I do of course hope you can share with your closest ones when you need to - it can take such a burden off of you as compared to trying to deal with the anxiety and negative thoughts on your own, and you are allowed to reach out to people and accept their support. ❤ Not sure where I'm going with this mini ramble... I'm so glad your recovery continues to go really well, and I hope the down mood and anxiety will get better soon, too. Give it time - for many people (like me, though perhaps not for you), these things will just be a part of their lives on and off. After a while you know that it is just a temporary state, even if it may not feel like it in the moment. X
ro, thank you so much for being so strong and holding the light for others (like me) when we can’t hold it for ourselves. you honestly are the reason i decided to recover and u continue to inspire me and motivate me every day.
I feel like you are much more confident in this video and I know it may sound triggering but u look so much healthier and prettier. thank you for sharing your journey with us
hi ro! i have been watching your videos since the beginning and they have helped me choose recovery. it hasn’t been easy but i do know it is so worth it! i love you so much! 💕
My heart's swelling with second-hand pride rn! You've achieved so much in a year, that really shows that there's a way out and that things can get better over time!
everytime you post i feel like i'm just sitting down with an old friend to talk. you've come so far and deserve to celebrate all the life you have experienced and will continue to experience!!!! to keep the good news chain going, ive reached the point where im going to be allowed to go back to school part time next term!!!! :D
Aw Ro congratulations, you really just feel like a guardian angel or for me, a hug from my old self. Thank you so much for everything and you’re videos are so special. You’re so right about prioritising yourself because that’s 100% the main thing. Love you and appreciate your words so so much xxxx
I’m so proud of you, you’re a strong person! Thank you so much that you do social media. You motivate me incredibly with your videos, I started to recover
wow. im so so so proud of you!! you have come such a long way. seeing you grow & get happier & better, i suppose, is making me so happy!!! happy 1 year beating anorexia!! YOU GO GIRLLLLL
You were the reason I decided to start recovery, hearing how much better you've gotten since then made me want to recover too. I would watch you're videos and eat with you and the more I did the less scarier it got. So I wanna say thank you for everything you do

i’m so so proud of you. i remember watching ur early vids and being so inspired. i love u so much ro
thank you 🥺
So emotional watching this, I found you shortly after I was fully recovered and I just think you are amazing!
You are so inspiring. You are helping me and so many other people to make a decision and to choose life. I'm glad that I have found this channel and I can listen to someone who went trough this and keeps pushing.I know in the end I have to “just“ do it. But listening to this positivity makes me feel a little bit calmer. I am also really proud of you! Thank you Ro! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!😪💓
I am so proud of you! I am grateful for you, as well. Not only did I follow you on your journey, I joined you in recovery. I struggle and had setbacks, but for the most part I did well. I can eat what I want within my set caloric needs and I can exercise, choosing joyful movement, without overdoing it. I don't always love the way my body looks, but I love what it is capable of doing. I have learned to love myself again, for my good qualities and accept my flaws. The biggest thing I've learned, just like you, is that I'm in competition with nobody.
I know that this is completely off topic but I just love Ro's hair and makeup! It really matches her in the best way possible!
I am sooo happy and soo lucky to have found you as someone I feel who is an amazing supportive and understanding woman. I won't know how you start but....I truly feel for you when you first began your journey, at least featured on TH-cam, recovering from anorexia. You fought hard and you risk your old life for this new life you knew nothing about...but the outcomes were pretty much everything you have always wanted. I dony want to put words in your mouth or say the wrong things so I'll do my best but a lot of the things you said throughout the whole year here I so can relate and feel like a have more hope that things can change. Their are a few people I found on TH-cam that have made me feel this way and your certainly one of them. You talked about so many things that I felt like I was such a loony about and you shared things that I have used to help me through my hard points..still today...for example I remember when you when to eat out with your family and you ordered the highest calorie on the menu and told yourself, like you do, that if you choose the higher calorie meal and knowing that you did it made you feel like you can have absolutely anything and nothing bad happens and even having it again. Despite all the uncomfortable feeling you sticked with it..whether it was eating out or eating at home. Ooh gosh, my favorites were the talks whilst eating the challenge food or when you didn't feel so good. Your family was so supportive too. You talks were soo lovely and encouraging. Tbh, I never has a saying for me to keep pushing with having to challenge a unhealthy behavior for me but not til the end of 2020 I thought.."the more I eat the better I'll feel" actually was something that push me to keep going...never did I thought it would work...it's not perfect all the time but it's like what you did with the talks to yourself. I had to even say those kinds of this out loud haha...I am a lot stronger and I appreciate that you have been that person to bring hope in me even those tiny moments. However, sry...it's about you. I always believed that you could do this. Its so nice and heart warming that you say that you don't feel scared with food like you did, that you eat when you want and have what you know now like and enjoy and how much.....it's so beautiful. These things is something to strive for...living not surviving...easier said than done but it can and I hope it can happen to me...
I am so glad and joyous that you have someone (bf) who appreciates you, and I know they would, that you open your heart to them by letting him do thing for you and gift you with love(loads of stuff..food, hugs, feelings, their ear, their thoughts, suggestions, their story, friendship...). Your such a wonderful, inspiring, wise, intelligent, beautiful, caring, interesting, factual, determined, helpful, creative, funny, friendly woman who deserves nothing but the best. Thank you Ro, happy one year. Sry it was super long. Love you loads. 🖤 🤗 👏💚 💙 🐾 💭🗣️🆓🥊👥😌🥺✨💪🧘🍌🥯🍫🍣🥄☕🏡🎥📱🔁🆓☮️🖕🏞️
You are literally one of my biggest motivations to keep going with recovery. I actually decided to eat intuitiatively thanks to you. I hope one day I will be able to sit down and say all those things you said about getting healthier. I am so glad you are doing okay, thank you for being there for us all
Never give up. You are SO much greater than anything that is trying to bring you down. They are essentially things in your head that don't physically exist (although I know this isn't how we think when we feel rubbish). But you are here, really here, physically present and living. You are so much greater. ❤
you've helped me so much during my recovery and I am so happy about how far you have gotten
I found a place with my body where I realized, loving it was never about liking every aspect of how it looked but it is a connection with it that I never ever knew was possible to have. It took some hard effort in healing. One of the things I am most happy about accomplishing, is actually alleviating my body dysmorphia, when dysmorphia is the only feeling I ever remember having about my body.
I don´t remember a single time growing up feeling connected to my body. Now I do. And no, the body dysmorphia doesn´t just go away. I`ve just realized and accepted that my body is me and I am the only one that is going to take care of myself. I feel my that my body trust me again and that is amazing.
If you are out there, thinking you are never going to like your body, constantly mirrorchecking and feeling that everytime you try to like your body, you are only trying to deceive yourself, know that that is not true.
Loving your body is probably not what you think, I know it can feel unattainable but if you believe, have a realistic approach to it and believe it, you will be able to reconnect with your body. It is the greatest feeling in the world to be able to feel comfortable in your own skin, not caring about the flaws or the parts you find ugly.
Being able to socialise again is truly an incredible gift in recovery
liked within the first 30 seconds when ro said "was gonna say sorry, but I'm not sorry, because i'm putting my mental health first". YESSSS
🥰🥰🥰
I think that message of relapse is very helpful as it dispels that myth that having bad days and acting on your thoughts is ok and a part of recovery as it's not meant to be linear. I agree that it's about NOT acting on the thoughts. Otherwise those times that you choose ana become your life again.
i'm so happy i found you in the begining of my recovery, you have helped me so much!! kisses from argentina🇦🇷💞
I will admit I was getting a bit concerned when I hadn’t seen any videos for a while, but I figured you were busy with university finals, then the holidays, and start of a new semester/term.
It’s okay to struggle with mental health, I also struggle with it (I made the decision to go off of anti-depressants two years ago, and I completely understand the nausea, lack of appetite, etc.), plus we are in the middle of a pandemic. We don’t want to get sick, we have loved ones who are getting sick or dying, lock downs are taking the toll on all of us, and the not knowing is hard even on the strongest individuals.
Im so proud of you and everything you have accomplished this past year.
Thank you for allowing us to support you when you are down, for your rawness and honesty. You don’t realize how many lives you have touched or saved.
Thank you for blessings us in ways you could never imagine.
Good luck this coming semester/term. You Got This!
CONGRATULATIONS !!!!! I’m really happy to see where you got. I’m so happy to see you didn’t give up! You are the reason why i started recovery. You’re such an incredible inspiring person. I’m so proud of you!!!!!!
❤️❤️
So so proud of you! Been watching you since the beginning of your recovery and seeing how far you've come in a year is just amazing. You are ✨GLOWING✨
ahh thank you so much !
I'm in recovery since october / november. I have appointments with an amazing dietician and since then I'm just living again. You inspired me SO MUCH. Thank you.
Extremely happy for you Ro. We are very proud of you and for those who are recovering aswell and trying to recover just keep going because things will get better and don't be too hard on yourself. We are proud of you. Love yall
thank you! all my love :) x
Its crazy how you inspired me to recover and now Im almost a year in recovery and I have the best relationship with food ever. Thank you for everything, I admire you and Im soooo proud of you
god i’m SO happy to hear this
I AM SO PROUD
i know this channel is about you challenging your ed, but i rlly want to see more of your life and how you go about your day:) you just have this calming presence that i absolutely love and seem like the sweetest person
there will be more just me soon :) thank you!!
I also haven’t weighed myself since November! We can do this 🥰 and everyone else who sees this too, if you’re in recovery, you got this!
wow, ur absolutely amazing. i’m in recovery rn and it’s been SO hard. family and friends don’t understand it. my family has just been telling me to eat and tbh i haven’t had much support bc they simply don’t understand, which i can’t blame them. but watching people like u, HELPS ME SO MUCH. like i can’t even put into words how much you’ve helped, ur actually the first person i saw on social media who truly motivated me to recover. so thank you for helping me and others. (also SO PROUD of where u are now w/ recovery. i hope u start feeling a bit better mental health wise. ur so strong and deserve the best:))
this is so lovely to hear - thank you. sending you all my love, you are strong and can do this 🤎
I literally cry at every one of your videos. thank u for everything you've done for the recovery community.
I'm crying. You can be soooo f**** proud of yourself. 1 year recovery and you do the best you can. And you shine!!!!
Kudos to managing eating disorder and other mental health problems. As someone with complex mental health problems that affect all my life AND a long term ED I totally get it and how each other influences the other. You are not alone. I’m currently in a mental health unit and trying to turn round a serious ED relapse that landed me in general hospital, it’s hard - and I’m still very much at the beginning and taking baby steps but your videos are literally keeping me going every meal time. You are such a mature head on those young shoulders. Hats off to everything you’re doing! X
im so happy for you!! congratulations!! thank you for prioritizing the RECOVERY of eds instead of popularizing them like a lot of youtubers do :))
Last night i was soooooo close at slipping…recovering from binge eating and bulimia…”you’ll sleep better if you don’t feel so full” (had not binged) and was soooo close…I brushed my teeth and ignored my bulimic voice and I slept fine…you’re channel has helped me!!! I’m in week 3 of recovery doing it all by myself (12years of being ill everyday!)…so thanks
Low times are normal but getting through those times will get easier! You are doing great
@@sintara8442 thanks it’s not easy only bit that is better is that I used to deep clean my toilet every night for fear that of i died in my sleep that there would be no evidence of my ED and that who ever emptied/cleaned my house after i had died that no one would ever find out… that darkness has lifted…
Been here since day 1, can't believe we're at a year already! You're a legend congratulations. I'm glad you're feeling healthier and more confident ❤
thanks for staying around 🤎🤎
Hey Ro! You’ve done amazing, I’m so proud of you ❤️ I hope know that you are such an inspiration to young girls like me who have struggled with food and body image Xx
this is lovely, thank you xxx
Congrulations Ro! You are really doing well i think.. I started to watch your videos when i was in my worst anorexia time.. i started my recovery, got out of hospital, went back to my school.. And im happy we both achieved it even if it regret my recovery... im proud of you
You are my role model. Your wonderful words and videos have accompanied me in my recovery since I chose to fight against anorexia. And like you I am doing pretty well. Thank you so much for being my inspiration and for your honest words ❤️
I'm so incredibly proud of how far you've come! you've pushed and fought so hard to get to this point and it has paid off. You inspire me and so many others to start/keep with recovery despite all the emotions and struggles we all will face. You're truly an inspiration to all and we're all just so proud!
What I learned last year with it, is that each new moment is a new opportunity to do what's best for you.
Cause perfection doesn't exist and we can make a mistake, but it's never too late to stop being destructive.
Congratulations!! 🥳 Sorry you're down, but you'll get better, you know that. 😉 I hope it happens soon for you! ❤
i just want to say that you honestly inspire me so much and your videos really help me when i'm struggling. also congratulations you're doing so well 💛
So proud of you Ro! 🥰❤️
What an inspiring, strong and eloquent person you are. You look and sound amazing 🥰 I’m so very happy you got through this awful part of your life and fought back and I wish you every bit of happiness and health for the future
I AM SO PROUD OF YOU RO, YOU INSPIRE SO MANY PEOPLE THROUGH YOUR RAW AND HONEST VIDEOS🤍🤍🤍♥️♥️♥️♥️🖤🖤🖤
ABSOLUTE QUEEN! thank you for advocating that in order to recover, YOU have to make the choice and take the steps, while being hinest with yourself, which I tink a huge amount of people struggle with!
Really happy to see you thrive! :)
I’ve been physically recovered for almost five years now! I have small relapses, but i bounce back easily from them because i have a good buffer now, because i’m muscular and healthy! :3
Well wishes!
this came just at the right time :) i just finished icing a cake for my friend and i really needed a bit of distraction!
all my love to you
@@RoMitchell thank you 🤍
You are such a calming presence I can't even begin to describe it. Thank you for putting yourself out here on youtube and sharing your journey with such honesty and compassion. I'm sure you have changed a lot of lives and I am definitely one of them. Keep up the good work. Keep fighting. You got this.
I am so so happy and proud for you. 'My body is my home' has helped me lots, thanks to you 💚
all my love - keep going x
Please never feel pressured to post
its so nice to see you back !! im so so so sooo happy to hear how you’ve been pushing through with your recovery even when you don’t feel 100%. youre such an inspiration to me and some days, when i feel like giving up, i resort to your videos because i know they will make me feel better and give me the courage to achieve full food freedom
thank you
I’ve been watching your channel since you started and I’m so incredibly proud of you !! You are such an inspiration !! Xx
thank you for being you. i'm so glad you decided to recover a year ago 💛
I remember thinking I’d never recover when I first watched u now I’m back to the weight I was before I ever restricted n I’ve never felt stronger or been healthier all my vitals r finally normal again n I can donate blood (: my hair barely falls out anymore n I’ve never been happier thank u for being u u inspired to get my life back now I’m onto tackling the other things I want to improve in my life for my overall happiness (:
Just this afternoon, I was missing you and decided to check your new videos. When I didn't see any, I started binge-watching old videos. I love you Ro!
Thank you so much for your honesty and strength! Sorry to hear you're down at the moment; please don't feel forced to share those things when you feel uncomfortable to do so; I do of course hope you can share with your closest ones when you need to - it can take such a burden off of you as compared to trying to deal with the anxiety and negative thoughts on your own, and you are allowed to reach out to people and accept their support. ❤
Not sure where I'm going with this mini ramble... I'm so glad your recovery continues to go really well, and I hope the down mood and anxiety will get better soon, too. Give it time - for many people (like me, though perhaps not for you), these things will just be a part of their lives on and off. After a while you know that it is just a temporary state, even if it may not feel like it in the moment. X
You have no idea how much hope and courage you give to a lot of us xx ❤️
ro, thank you so much for being so strong and holding the light for others (like me) when we can’t hold it for ourselves. you honestly are the reason i decided to recover and u continue to inspire me and motivate me every day.
this is honestly the sweetest comment!! thank you so much
I feel like you are much more confident in this video and I know it may sound triggering but u look so much healthier and prettier. thank you for sharing your journey with us
hi ro! i have been watching your videos since the beginning and they have helped me choose recovery. it hasn’t been easy but i do know it is so worth it! i love you so much! 💕
My heart's swelling with second-hand pride rn! You've achieved so much in a year, that really shows that there's a way out and that things can get better over time!
thank you :)
everytime you post i feel like i'm just sitting down with an old friend to talk. you've come so far and deserve to celebrate all the life you have experienced and will continue to experience!!!!
to keep the good news chain going, ive reached the point where im going to be allowed to go back to school part time next term!!!! :D
thank you ! and i’m so happy for you x
So proud of you!! Thank you for sharing your journey! ❤️
thanks for supporting me
It's amazing to see how far you've come. Very proud of you! ❤️
Aw Ro congratulations, you really just feel like a guardian angel or for me, a hug from my old self. Thank you so much for everything and you’re videos are so special. You’re so right about prioritising yourself because that’s 100% the main thing. Love you and appreciate your words so so much xxxx
this is so sweet, thank you xxx
