I’m just over a month into recovery and your videos have kept me going, full of positive affirmations and reminders of why I need to recover and deserve love ❤️ Thank you for providing a space for people with EDs to feel safe, supported and understood, you have no idea how much this helps 🥰
this is such a lovely comment, it’s exactly why i make these videos :) thank you so much 🫶🏻
@@RoMitchell Hi idk if youll reply but i was wondering, do you feel the EMDR therapy is truly helpful? It sounds terrible
@@Feminazi1dcI have had EMDR and it wasn’t helpful for me personally at all
I would love to hear your mum and dads side of your recovery. They were both so supportive of you throughout and seem to still be great. But i’d also like to hear how they feel now that you have recovered.
Such a good idea
People gotta accept that not every day of your life is going to be spectacular or groundbreaking and that’s what makes them all the more worthwhile xxx appreciate you sm
yes !!!
all my love ⭐️🫶🏻
I can’t tell you how much I love how NORMAL you are. The exact reason I watch every video you post is because it feels like hanging out with a normal person. It makes me feel safe in my own non aesthetic life - which is messy and boring and mundane a lot of the time. But your videos throughout time have truly helped me see the beauty in that. Because I see the little beauties in your little life. Your family dog. Boring little walks. Boring little meals. Boring little talks. Hamsters and clothes shopping and working on a laptop and cleaning and trying to make a small place feel like home - all of it in little snippets is so beautiful. It’s magical BECAUSE it’s just your regular life. And it puts me at ease in MY regular life. Your journey through ED has truly helped me heal my own ED and I feel fully healed after decades of BED. But I think this is the next phase of your journey. Influencing people to see the magic in the mundane. The beauty of the ordinary. You are exceptional at it and mostly because you’re not trying to make some big statement. Just by being you. Imperfect and kind and genuine and scared and nervous and strong at once. By being entirely you - and letting us go along with you - you set people free to be THEM. It’s beautiful. It matters. And so few can truly do that in a space like social media. You’re the anti influencer and that’s what we truly need. Just humans being humans. I watch your videos at night with earbuds in as I do my self care routine. I clean up, brush and floss, put on my Frownies, lotion, maybe Gua sha if I’m not too tired - drink water - and just care for myself in a kind way. You have helped me heal my relationship with food - and now you’re helping me heal my relationship with me. That’s the power of you just being you. You don’t NEED to be some superstar Instagram model. We have way too many of those. We need beautiful kind humans just being soft - and authentic. That’s what’s rare. You are rare Ro. And I’ll be grateful for as long as I get to be part of your lovely imperfect journey. You were meant for this work. And it’s a privilege to grow alongside you.
I'm 40 and the ED has stolen way too many years. You have so much more life ahead of you, I'm so happy you'll be able to live it.
sending love ❤️
Lots of love to you. I had and ED in my teens. Although 'recovered' weight wise. I have alot of hang ups about my body and I still have disordered thinking. I'm nearly 37 xxx
45 here & as hard as it is to have lived with an eating disorder for so long - what I do know is there is still a LOT left to live. And I’m so happy to live it healed. I never thought I would ever get past my BED. But I have. And it feels wonderful - and I think there is still SO much ahead. ❤
42 here and it seems I am developing an ED 😢 changing is hard and my body is changing with years and it is hard to accept and the easiest way is restricting food and increase exercises… which is not that healthy for me as I am not overweight and have some health issues… so I try to keep balance and be wise with my choices… Ro is such an inspiration❤so young and so strong
It's so nice to see someone that is around my age actually showing a realistic day. Seeing people on instagram being productive every minute of the day makes me feel like I'm never doing enough, so this is very refreshing and helpful! Also living for the dog content. So proud of you for making it this far and taking care of yourself!
i prefer watching calmer vlogs tbh bc i want to relax when i watch vlogs rather than stress about productivity or not always having time to do things etc. so yes to mundane weekly vlogs!!
i’m the same! 🥰 yay
Thank you Ro, I’ve been in recovery since October now and your videos have shown me that the world does start to get brighter and that we are not alone in this🤎 can I just say your eyes are so pretty🤎
thank YOU! you’re doing the right thing ❤️
I totally relate to making it to 21. When I turned 21 last year I had a moment where I realized how crazy it is. I never planned to make it past 18 not to mention 21. I felt such compassion for myself and felt so proud and amazed that I did it! I never had any idea how far I would come in my life, recovery, mental health, and even having goals for once in my life.
I dont usually comment but Im so grateful for this beautiful week in your life. Its SOOOO refreshing to see someone who is REAL. You are such an inspiration and literally without your makeup you are GLOWING. I am in recovery as well and I relate SOO much to the bagel phase haha. You are amazing. Thank you thank you for reminding me why I am recovering (even after weight restoration phase).
I am really enjoying your music choices in this video, such a unique vibe!
thank you! :)
You have the most beautiful, shiny, cheeky eyes. It took me seeing you well into recovery to notice this because they were still quite dim in your very early recovery. I also love how full of life you are now and hearing your great sense of humour shine through. You are a wonderful person. Don't ever change or let anything take that light away again.
This was the most comforting video; I seriously was sad when it ended. I'm turning 21 this year and I feel that same nostalgia, and I also struggle with my skin. This vlog made me feel so seen and supported.
Ngl I’ve had a bad mental health week and watching this has helped ❤ I genuinely couldn’t get myself dressed yesterday but todays been better 😊
proud of you! small steps ❤️
@@RoMitchell thank you ❤️ small steps indeed
My favorite time of day, when you post. This video is extremely calming and I always smile when I see you. I’m so proud of you and you inspire me everyday ❤
thank you! you’re so kind 🤍
Thank you so much for sharing this. My life is also pretty uneventful, and I'm also in therapy for C-PTSD, and many times I don't even have the energy to wash my face and put on proper clothes (but working on it). I cannot take vlogs that are too aesthetic and seemingly unattainable because it doesn't inspire me, it just makes me feel worse. Your content is so cozy and comforting, I love it when a new video comes up!
Thank you Ro for showing a realistic week in your life, I am in recovery of anorexia and I had to take a break from university this year because of my health… It was a hard decision and it is hard to feel like I am «useless» or at least doing so much less than what people of my age are doing, but I also know that I couldn’t have a more «active» lifestyle because of how exhausted and mentally drained I am… I realize that it may sound really depressing but I just wanted to say thank you for showing that it is okay to not always do soooo much things everyday and to take it slow 💗
Going through literally the exact same thing
Perfect timing!! I'm about to have dinner and have felt pretty negatively about my body and food lately, so I'm going to eat with Ro in the background :)
you deserve to eat, no matter what your brain tells you - your body needs fuel! 🤍
Ro ever since I found your channel I've loved how transparent you are and how you show the wins and struggle moments and keep it real. I'm finally committing to recovery and its been extremely difficult emotionally and physically, and general life stuff can feel so much harder. Seeing that I'm not alone helps loads. Love you Ro, you're doing amazing and are so loved by your TH-cam community!
This is super therapeutic!!!! Had an amazing time watching this 💚
i’m glad :)!!✨
Looking at the time stamp on the video and realizing there’s still tons left to watch, best feeling lmao. Love you Ro
yay! i’m glad people like the longer videos :)⭐️ all my love x
I also love the type of vlogs that don't make me feel shitty about my mundane life and your vlogs absolutely fit into that category, Ro. Especially when I'm having a bad day - mental health wise - I find that watching you go about your day - or your week in this case - helps with taking myself out of my head for a bit and whatever self-destructive urge I may have has time to lessen or fade away during that time. It doesn't matter what type of vlog you film, it always ends up so calming. So glad to have you here on TH-cam, your channel is such a gem. 💗💞💖💓
Oh Ro, thank you so much! I love you and you are such a comfort person on TH-cam, very rare and inspiring to learn to love oneself, too.
I just want to say the way you inspire people is so magical. I stumbled on your TH-cam when you first started and up until the last month or so I was never ready to recover. Or rather, I just didn't want to. I've been at a low place in life for a couple years and I've finally realized that starving myself was only making it 100000000x worse. Ive started eating more, honoring my hunger, etc and I've already seen such a positive impact on my mental health. Your videos are such a breath of fresh air and you impact so many in such a positive way ❤️ You deserve all the happiness in the world. We're all so happy to see you thrive ❤️
thank you ❤️
i’m so proud of you for taking that first step. it gets so so so much better once you’re through the hard part, i promise. you CAN do this - you are clearly so lovely & as everyone does, you deserve joy ✨✨
Hi Ro
You probably won’t read this but you have been such an inspiration for me. I’m recovering from ed now and your videos make me feel less guilty about eating and gaining weight. I really wish I could be in the same city as you since I wish to be your friend. Thank you for helping this teen.
your videos are one of my few comforts as a teen girl in some very extreme bulimia with no one around really understanding. thank you for being such a positive role model
you can do this, i promise there is a life past what you’re struggling with right now 🤍
thanks for being here x
Keep fighting!!
Keep fighting, don’t give up … I also struggle with bulimia, every day is a challenge it’s just such a addiction for me
watching you and a couple other ppl have me actually trying to fight my ARFID and im not afraid to admit that its effecting me and trying to fight it. it means a lot that you're filming after recovery and what its like to continue life is so amazing seeing you smile and look so happy to eat
Came here after watching your video from last week... finished my bowl of chili and salad. Cracking up over your bagels and mini-egg fancy phase lol - I can relate!
Recovery feels amazing! I’m so glad I’m finding food freedom. No more counting calories. No more scales or measuring tape. No more counting my steps. Now when my body sends me hunger cues I listen and follow through with whatever the frick I want. Still a road to travel, but I’m getting there.
Thank you Ro for all the content you’ve made and putting yourself out there. You’re a real inspiration for all of us ❤
So proud of how far you've come Ro! It's really inspiring to see where you are now and how much effort you've put into your journey. 🥰
(Just a funny side note about the blackout 😂 welcome to loadshedding. It's really annoying but as an experienced South African, you'll get used to it 😂... Sending love from RSA ❤️)
I just want to say thank you for posting such great content. The anorexic thought got quite strong tonight and just for comfort i decided to watch your videos and it helped me so much. Thank you
I feel the same about getting older. I'm also turning 21 this month, and I never thought I'd get to this age. Whenever it gets close to my birthday, I also think about my previous years and birthdays that I spent on hospital. Proud of you xx here's to 21 💓
YES, Cleaning is so therapeutic! Is it weird that i kind of wish i made more mess, so i could clean more 😅 I may sound like an old lady , but cleaning, organising etc is genuinely one of my favorite activities
loved how I instantly joined the "yummy yummy, in my tuuuummy" hahaha that made me smile a lot, so great, gonna remember that :D great video Ro, so relatable, in every aspect :)
I absolutely LOVE bagels, too! Where I live, I can't get them all the time, so I haven't had some in ages... but my mum actually bought me some yesterday, when she saw them, which is just wonderful 😊
I am and in fully recovery for 3.5 months and I have to say big thank you to u! Cause u are helping me stay even when it's hard
I love this style of video, it is so calming and beautiful. I always get so happy when you post, you have been creating some amazing content lately! Thank you for inspiring me and making me feel supported and understood. Love you!💕💕
thank you so much !! this means a lot :)⭐️ all my love x
Loved this morning routine and I often find that I get stuck in a breakfast rut and always trying to find good high protein breakfast recipes after or before a workout and would love to see a video and know your favorites and the ones that have best helped you in your journey to gain muscle and taste good.
I love your videos, they are always my comfort zone and one of the only places where I feel good in ed recovery !
The sweater you are wearing on the second day is beautiful, where did you buy it?
Your videos bring me hope. Every time guilt comes with food, every time I struggle… I think, “What would Ro say?” I watch your videos almost as a coping mechanism, because you are so compassionate, realistic and rational.
U r so gorgeous like a Disney princess 👑 and I’m so proud of how far u have come in your recovery journey
Thank you for normalizing that it's ok to just be chill in your life and not be super busy all of the time with a job. I had to stop working this year because I needed to put my recovery and mental health first. It's been a journey. Recovering is literally a full time job and I don't have it in me in work it's just too much to handle it all. So my life is just taking care of myself and that's ok. I'm not busy with a job but I'm getting my life back to a better and stable place. That is always first priority. Thank you Ro for all of your fabulous content. You've truly helped me a lot. I've been watching you throughout my entire recovery from the beginning of when you started bless your soul I love you so much Ro. You are such an incredible human.
You're the one keeping me going througgh recovery.. low key want ro's post recovery glow up 😭
I love it every time you post vlog type of videos and hope you‘d do it as often as you feel like! There’s something so cosy about being invited to see the more mundane everyday side of the lives of people I follow on social media for specific reasons (whether it’s about mental health, books, art and craft, etc.).
I cannot tell you how comforting your videos are to me - I always look forward to you posting. You have been such a big help and source of comfort for me and always motivate me to keep going
I really loved watching this vlog! There is always such a cosy vibe around your videos. 🤍
This helps so much, your amazing thank you for sharing your recovery with us, it inspires me to keep going despite my brain telling me the opposite lately
omg i've never been this early!!! but i'm so glad i found your channel. everytime i see your stories or watch your videos, it fills me up with positivity and it gives me so much hope. thank you for existing and for doing everything that you do ro!!! ily 🫂💗✨
what a kind comment !! thank you arora 🫶🏻✨x
this video is so realistic and exactly that is what makes it the best one yet!!! I love all of your videos, but these type is my favourite. Thank you for being so kind, Ro! You're making me feel enough❤️
thank YOU so much ❤️
My brain was so overwhelmed today, thank you for giving me an outlet to calm down and actually feel okay again 💕
I've struggled most of my life with disordered eating and I remember watching your first video when your channel was new, and been amazed at how you pushed yourself. You've done amazing Ro! I may have missed this on another vlog, have you moved back home? Or are you like my brother, who always finds an excuse to be at our parents house at meal times.
Mini Eggs in January??? My local Tesco had creme eggs in Boxing Day.
I think one of my favorite things about watching your recovery journey is learning how much of an adorable quirkball you are (and I mean that in the most positive way)!! Watching your earlier videos compared to now… you’ve definitely become more “you” ❤ It’s lovely to see and so inspiring! ❤❤❤
so proud of you! very inspiring🫶
thank you!🤍
Hi Ro I have really missed your videos. I've wanted to watch them for a long time but have been out of time because the beginning of 2023 have not been the easiest for me. To be honest the last 6 months have been awful because of anxiety and depression. But hearing your calm voice helps me... now I am watching these videos as maraton ❤️. Also some good things have happened I got two Pullip dolls (japanese collector dolls) that I do photograph and am able to go through those deep thoughts via photographing. My nursing school ended because of my illnesses but yesterday I got news... for next 5 months I will have a supportworker and I am able to talk about feelings 🥹, so there will be a sunchine in the middle of dark times 🌞. Thank you for giving me a hope ❤️.
Really love this type of video! Bring us more weekly vlog Ro!🤩😘
Stop the over head light fills me with rage
As a New Yorker I have to tell you I am so psyched to see you so into bagels right now
I will say this also as a New Yorker we are very judgmental as to what actually qualifies as a proper bagel and a proper amount of whatever you put inside of it but I don’t care about that when it comes to you I’m just so psyched you’re digging bagels I can’t eat bagels anymore because of my ED and my gluten intolerance so I really like watching other people enjoy bagels. Youre amazing 🥯
I love your content so much Ro❤️ just wanted to say thank you for all your TH-cam videos their truly inspiring and very helpful🥰
thanks for being here ✨
YOUR HAIR IS LOOKING FREAKING AMAZING. SHINY AND THICK. So pretty
More of this, pretty please!!! I could watch you for hours. You are for sure my #1 comfort TH-camr. So, so grateful for you, Ro. ❤️✨❤️
I could rewatch all of Ro's videos (: She is such a comfort!
I love this longer-form style of vlog
yay!⭐️
This is my favorite of your videos ever!! (and as my absolute favorite TH-camr, that is a big deal🤪) Your personality is infectious and your joy is so genuine 💖 Thank you for sharing your life with us Ro!!! It helps more than you can know. Also just curious-did you and your boyfriend move in with your parents?
I truly feel that the world would be freaking better if there existed more people like you :) i admire you !! 🌼
Watching you makes me feel so comfortable! I have watched you since the beginning and you are just one reason, why I want to start recovery and really push myself right now. Thank you just for being you. I love all the stuff you are doing :)
I just wanna say again Ive been watching since your first vids. Ive had ed my whole life. For me recovery will only “happen” when Im training for marathons. Your hair looks AMAZING. So psyched to your journey. So happy you have a lovely life n bf now. Thanks for sharing w us
I'm very depressed and my highs are so few compared to the lows but your videos always bring me so much comfort.
you’ll find light again soon, promise.

@Ro Mitchell thank you for that, truly
I’m so in a bagel phase too! Got some from a local Jewish bakery and they’re heaven
This is exactly what I needed today. Your videos are SOOO helpful to me🥰
It was a really fun video Ro, your life doesn't have to be perfect all the time, it is have to be real, and that's all that matters. Really glad to see you happy, honey. Your boyfriend seems to be a really great guy 😂😂😂. I'm waiting already for your next video, lov u 💕
thank you!! i agree!! the boyf is a gem haha :,) ❤️
Yay, very happy to see you eating some fish in a couple of meals near the end of the video. That's great.
thankyou for this video ro, your videos really cheer me up! so glad this came out as i am having a pretty rubbish time in my recovery at the moment ❤
keep pushing on - it’ll get better, i promise. you can do this 🫶🏻
@@RoMitchell thankyou. you really motivate me. much love to you and your incredible family!!!!
I'm sending you love and support ✨🌌
I just love your videos, I always feel better after watching them. You helped me so much during my own recovery journey. THANK YOU
Your videos are just so comforting Ro, I’m glad you’ve decided to film your week, your life is absolutely not boring. You are such an amazing and inspiring person. If I only had to keep one channel in my subscriptions it would be yours (and this, even if my main interest is literature). Lots of love 💙
I miss these peaceful quiet days where I had time to think and reflect and simply be in the moment. Quiet days are the best days to enjoy. Now I have 4 little kids and can't even have a moment off when I'm sick. Enjoy having time on your side
ah, sending you love. you’re a strong one ❤️
Ro May i just say you are absolutely beautiful I love your style!🥰💕
A lot of a day in my life videos are from people with a spontaneous job which makes it look like they do so much in a day but it really doesn't matter if you work for 3 hours on the same thing or 3 hours on 10 different things, it is still 3 hours of work and sometimes doing just one thing is way more productive because you can really focus on it and get the most out of it. Its not about quantity but about quality
The majority of people lead a "mundane" life. Work, home, hobbies. Getting groceries, cooking, paying the bills. And every once in a while a fun outing. Social media really messes with the image people have of other people's life.
Love, thank you for being with us, it helps so much just seeing and listening to you bc you're honest and positive and just wonderful ❤
This was such a lovely video, the simplicity and mundaneness of it truly made it such a comfort to watch. Thank you so much, you really seem like such a wonderful person I wish I had in my life ❤
Rewatching Ro's videos>>>
You say you have a mundane life, but you have also said that ‘ordinary is beautiful too’ you impart such wisdom, and as a trainee counsellor I think that you should give yourself credit for how much progress you have made. ‘Recovering is a doing word, not to do, not done, doing’.
Totally unrelated, but I think doing a q & an about how your parents found your ED recovery and perhaps a video on your boyfriend’s perspective on your journey so far. Just ideas, so take them or leave them.
Only seeing the thumbnail (with the cute ordinary plate) and the title made me smile
I follow you since the very first video you uploaded and i am so grateful for your work here on YT
Happy birthday Ro❣️ 🥂🎂🎊🥳
just want to say that you are soooo beautiful in such a simple way 🤍
I'm obssesed with Stardew Valley so it was a cute moment seeing you play it as well :3
I needed this video today, notification popped up like divine intervention, gonna get my snack and get watching!
I love you Ro i found you when I was in hospital and you were at the start of your journey. You have shown that recovery is possible
it’s so possible ❤️
@@RoMitchell
It’s hard to start after hospital because it’s so triggering to not exercise due to bed rest
I love seeing Ro get excited about food (: she has grown so much♥️♥️♥️
i love your videos and this one was (not a surprise) amazing again!! thank you for creating such a safe place and spreading so much honest positivity❤️
you seam so lighthearted and free in this video, it really does make me so happy to see you like that 🤍🥰 I am four months in recovery and you inspired me so much throughout my journey, you still do, thx for everything!
Greetings from Germany!
Hi Ro, I'm actually just about to start EMDR therapy so its comforting to see you talking about it :) I'm just curious, how much do you think it has helped you? and how long did it take for you to see the improvements? I had actually never heard of it before a psychologist recomended it to me so I'm trying to gather as much info about it as i can! obvs don't feel pressured to answer - really enjoyed watching this video
Bagels are so good , I can't believe I missed out for so long.
Thank you so much for making your videos, I don't think I would be on my recovery journey if it wasn't for you ♡♡
can we talk about how beautiful and genuine this girl is
I've been watching ur videos for quite a while. Today, I finally challenged myself to a healing food (my name for fear foods). Now watching this to reassure myself
This is such a nice video to watch. I love your videos. I'm not doing well at the moment. I'm also 21 and I've been trying to recover for 3 years now but I guess this is gonna take lots of time and mental work for me.
Your skin could be breaking out from specific foods you are eating and quite possibly your makeup and skin care products, one thing I’ve researched is the cleaner products are without any chemicals and fragrances the better your skin will be. Thank you for such lovely videos about your life and healing journey in all its genuineness, I find them very therapeutic ❤
Hey ro I’m a couple weeks into recovery on some days my bones hurt and I feel tired. But I’m doing better slowly and your videos are always great to watch ❤! Love you ro hope you continue to do well
it’ll get better soon, keep pushing on lovely ⭐️✨xxx
thank you for showing us you without makeup you are such a reat role model
I’m seven months into recovery and you are such an inspiration for me! We also have a shared love of jellycats😂❤
