110% second this! Or twenty something this based on how many likes 😂😍 couldn't agree more and gosh I found myself nodding and also laughing at things you said cause dayum it all true!
I think you’d honestly make such a good recovery coach when you are fully recovered. I can definitely understand not wanting to as well, but if it’s something you have considered, I truly think you’d make an amazing coach!
I actually got a bit emotional hearing you talk about how much you've changed in the last year. I've been following you since your first video and at that time had also just committed to FULL and REAL recovery after years of quasi-recovery and a pretty bad relapse. It's like our timelines were exactly lined up and I'm feeling the same as you now - so much more free, interested in socializing, interested in things in the world beyond me, food and weight. It's amazing! I'm glad you are feeling this, too, because it is a beautiful thing!
This video was amazing! Especially at the end with that person reflecting on your older videos, they’re right. You genuinely glow. You can see the happiness and hope in your eyes. I appreciate you and your videos so so much! Thankyou for this xxx
I always tried to hide my eating disorder, I didn't want people to know that I struggling too.. and this separate food.. like everything was deconstructed and separate.. :/ Relate with your experiences
I've been "in recovery" for about 10 years now. I've appeared ok and been in that quasi-recovery for 10 years - this is not what I want for the rest of my life and I've definitely been a little bit in denial until recently. Meg, you have been the most helpful resource to me in coming to a whole bunch of realizations and I'm now motivated to do REAL recovery and move on with my life, I'm so happy I found you but it's also a bit scary (in a good way). I haven't challenged my thoughts and behaviours so much until I binge-watched (no pun intented) your vids. Thank you Meg, you are so real and relatable and I'm grateful I found your channel.
@@summerbandicoot4761 Ugh, I wrote the comment 2 months ago and am still stuck. Why is this so hard? Thinking of you and all others trying to get their lives back.
Challenged my afternoon snack to be a chocolate croissant instead of apple and peanut butter {at the request of my treatment team}. I was so anxious I cried, but my best friend was so supportive. I kept remembering, “Feel shit and do it anyway!”
I agree with the person who shared a lovely comment, especially that I feel you are the type of friend everybody wants to have, sensible, intelligent and empathic. Also I have hope when I see how far you've come. I feel that for me, the damages will stay, but I keep hoping and battling. My hair, bones, skin, mussles, everything is affected now and I'm afraid it will stay as it is even if I gain weight...But anyways, watching you makes me feel better and gives me the motivation to try.
Thank you so much for this video. I struggle so much with extreme hunger (especially in the evening/night) and always eat titny bites of a lot of stuff instead of a REAL things. But just now I see how disordered this is. I will change it today ! The way you talk about recovery is so healing and inspirational. Lots of love to you ❤
You're videos are amazing. Thanks so much Meg for sharing your experience with us!! You help me rationalise my thoughts - I always think about your sayings. "feel sh** and do it anyway!" x
Had your vids about eating out, drinking and socializing on repeat this morning as a little pep talk of encouragement this days i have decided to start living and connecting with old friends, thank you Meg for helping us navigate this path feeling a bit less alone ♥️♥️
I just found your channel about a week ago. Your channel has really started to help me a lot. Thank you for sharing so much. You are such a beautiful and sweet person.💖
I'm understanding better and better what you're describing here. I'm at a similar point in my recovery and I totally get how difficult it is. It's really helpful for me to watch your videos. Thanks so much! 🌸
Thank you so much for your videos Meg. I have watched them all twice over. I have only just after 15 years decided to start the recovery process but for some reason the ED voice has become even stronger... so I’m restricting more. But I’m starting to see a dietician and psychologist next week so hopefully that helps. Also after binge watching your videos you have definitely changed, not in a good or bad way, but more so in a positive way. I hope to one day be where you are now. By the way we are the same age! Much love xo
Please continue to make LOTS of videos on recovery. Im struggeling so bad and have been for so many years. No help here has helpt me and all terapeuts I have talked to have no understanding for ED, ex one told me when i said i liked a certain type of dish "OH no you shouldnt be eating that, the X is sucking up so much fat when u cook it.." ONE example. I also have tried to commit suiced some times cause i feel so shity. :'( Any way, please continue what u doing and make lots of videos. Its quite comforting.
What a brilliant song to chose for the opening! Very powerful Meg. You are so clever and will go very far in life, I just know. On another note, you positively glow in this video, towards the end you can see life and happiness in your eyes. I know you are still battling and struggling with particular things, but the true beauty of your personality is now shining through, no longer clouded by the demon that is the disorder. It is wonderful to see and a good reminder to us all that life with anorexia is no life at all. I don't know about everyone else, but I am certainly on #teammeg !
I am so proud of you for doing that dinner, you kicked ass! I get it is freaking hard but there is absolutely deserve food. You are pushing through the E.D. by living and doing what a human needs to do even when their are others that suggest what is "healthier"and not. Food is food. I need to do this too. I love seeing the unedited too.lol Nice, amazing, glad you allowed yourself to eat breaky. Yeeees😎👍😘 I'm sometimes like that too, with thoughts of food aaaallll day. So irrational. I actually allowed myself this early morning, it was weird lol. Yea...breaking the cycle with behaviors breaks it! The Only way. That's what I get from you as well about being more you and more, True Megsy.💜🖤🦋 Loved it, your kitties too.
THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO THEY ARE SO HELPFUL also could you please talk about intuitive inting in a next video personally i struggle so much with this i mean trust our body eat more than usually and also dealing with bad thought who are not intuitive at all but who can look like
Hi Meg! I really really hope that you could answer/respond to what I am going to write. I im actually (sound crazy i know) very scared and uncomferteble with freetime. This make the anorexia so much harder to break cause if i dont give in to all OCD then i have even more time to dont know what to do. This also make me eat really slowly, making it last cause eating is the only thing i think is ”fun”, its like the only ”activety” i like. I ve lost all interest in anything. Things like i use to like like reading, watching movies/series, write and so on is just things to make time go by till i eat again. I constantly watch the clock and get angry/frustrated/sad/anxious when i see that little time has past. I like to go to bed at night cause then i know the day is over, til mext day... did you have the same? Did you loose all your interest? Did they come back when gaining? Ive experienced that it got worse when gaining. Then i still didnt like anything plus i hated myself so much i just schratched my body all over, hating it and had so much anxiety. Please help me :’( I also dont have any friends, my parent blame me for my ed and have broken all contact. Most of my other relatives past away. Tips om wahat to do on freetime? Did you or do you exercise in some way? I feel like i dont deserve to recover/gain cause i look horrible, my face looks like shit and i think i somehow have to make up for it by being thin. Also i think my body is build different cause i look huge even when underweight (but close to healthy). When i gained and got close to the bottom of healthy BMI everyone said that i shouldnt gain and that i looked more then normal bmi... so if i look normal when still underweight i most be huge if normal.. i looked bigger then you when i had bmi like 16 and you said you are higher. Cant belive it or its just me thats horrible, discusting and ugly. And i think everyone looks just fine and they can be normal or overweight and look great but im so ugly and it feels like maybe i can be worth even a little bit if i at least im thin. I wanna die so much most of the time :’( Hope i dont trigger anyone. Also wanna say that you are amazing and doing so well. Talk about an amazing and strong person. You seems so lovlely and i wish you all the best.
Did you or do you workout now that you are at a better weight, Even though you want to gain more? Have you lost your period. How long did it take? Suggestions?
I find it so hard to figure out if I'm hungry or just like to eat something. I never feel hungry physically.. thats so confusing and Im full super fast. I keep thinking about food but I'm full super fast. For lunch I basically eat one piece of toast and I'm stuffed. But at the same time my head keeps thinking about foods like chocolate bars or ice-cream and yoghurts. I just don't understand my body. Is this mental hunger or is it just having a sweet tooth. Cause I don't want a potato after that piece of bread for lunch, no I want that chocolate. Please help me :( I also find it hard to increase my intake cause Im full fast. I tried but it every time I did increase my intake, my belly would hurt soo much. Not just for one day but for days. I hope you have some advice on this. Thanks in advance
Dear Megsy, I'm so sorry I accidentally pressed a thumb down (and don't know if it can be fixed). Love your videos, you are gorgeous and inspire many. Greetings from Finland, have a great summer!
I forget to eat. A very busy good life but with many big issuers life issues. But I've had an eating disorder for 20 years. I never obsess. Is that like anyone else
Amazing channel , awesome video beautiful youu lots of love girly you are awesome let’s support each other always 💯👍🏼❣️ love seeing everyone supporting & growing together I subscribe 💜 I’m very grateful for your channel very helpful .
But for recovery I don’t understand that is necessary always eat junk food. I mean, this food is not bad, there’s no bad food but it’s like you always eat the same food. Why??? I think it’s not a normal diet, maybe because is American diet style??? I am Mediterranean and we eat here so different. Or you eat like that to train your brain or gaining more?? Thank you!!
M F hi, I don’t always eat junk food. In the UK where I’m from crumpets are a very normal breakfast, as is porridge, bagel etc which I eat a lot of. But I’m sure if we’re from different countries there are differences culturally in what we usually eat.... also as you say, absolutely nothing wrong with “junk”. I love chocolate & ice cream & take away & don’t deny or restrict any of these

Are you more ok with gaining now?

Are you worried about eventually becoming fat and overweight?
Why do you always film yourself eating though?
Ababy I think it’s to show us she doesn’t restrict despite what the eating disorder might be telling her .
