    Great things happened to me when I gained weight:
    -I got my period back
    -I started feeling happier
    -clothes started to fit better
    -I got THICC
    it isn’t easy on a psychological level, but it brings sooo many benefits, believe me
    YOU CAN DO IT
    YOU CAN DEFINITELY TAKE YOUR LIFE BACK❤️

      @10101010 mmmh I guess so for about 3 to 4 months I ate like that every day, and then one day just naturally I noticed that I didn't have that desire anymore. That only works if you really allow yourself to eat though, no matter how tough or how scary it is. I just accepted it. And I did gain weight, but not excessively actually. And at first it just looked like I gained a lot of weight because it was so out of proportion, but after a while what happens os that you do a thing called weight redistribution where your body distributes your weight to make it look more normal again, and that's also when you realize that FUCK weight. At least for me, I started reeeally realizing just how much damage my body has suffered without me even realizing any of it until it started picking up again, like heat regulation, or skin, or digestion, energy levels, sleep...it is scary. And after these few months of just eating my weight was reeeally stable and healthy. I know I gained a lot per week, but that's the whole point. And really my best skill during the time is just put everything else for later. Feel bad about my body? I can deal with that later, I'll have to just accept it now. Want to cry for three hours after a meal, right up until the next meal? Well then that's just how it is now. Feel like nobody needs that much food every, nobody needs to be able to eat that unhealthy food, this is just all wrong, well don't even think about it. I always felt like there is a RIGHT way to do recovery and I was holding myself back so scared to do it wrong and then mess something up I don't know, but really... Right way to recover is give up control from your brain and hand it back to your body. I trusted absolutely nothing my brain was trying to say to me. And I am realizing that if i hadn't done that I don't know if I had ever achieved even half as much of the life I have now. You can't let go of the disorder still holding on to it. Lol I just went on and on, sorry. 😂 But I just want people to know that it's fine and it'll get better.

I want a life where I'm energetic, happy, enjoy food etc. I'm even happy about gaining weight, some days I dont wanna put in the effort and I wanna go back to how it was but I'm truly working on it

    Thank you so much for this video. I am about 6 months being mostly free from anorexia. It killed me on the inside, and it killed me on the outside. My digestive system was torn to shreds. I can no longer eat gluten or dairy, and many other foods bother me. Yet besides all of this, today I can say that I am the happiest and healthiest that I have ever been in my life! Instead of focusing on controlling how much food I ate, I started controlling what food I was eating. I now eat super clean but am ok with treating myself. Again, thanks for the video.

Let my dietician decide how to increase instead of letting my ED tell me how to sloooowly increase to still avoid weight gain (and relapse again and again as always). I'm scared. I'm absolutely terrified but i know i have to do this after 10 years of starving, hiding and hating myself. Thank you for your video's. So glad i found you.

    Wow, amazing job recovering!!!! You seem so calm, love your energy. I've never had an eating disorder but I think (sadly enough) almost all women struggle with their relationship with food in some ways.. Great to see this video as a suggestion among others which are there to make us feel worse :/ Also love Frank haha

    I think the best thing that happened to me, was that the roles of food and exercise as “Reward” and “Work” got first flip-flopped and then eliminated. Exercise stopped being something I had to do to compensate for eating, and became something I actually enjoyed again. The same for eating - something I enjoyed and needed, not something I had to justify. I also stopped thinking about food - that is, thinking about “not eating” - all the time.

    Honestly good for you for saving yourself. What happened to you when you gained weight? You proved to yourself just how capable you are, just how far you're willing to go to finally give yourself the love, care and attention you need. And that, sweetheart, is a beautiful thing. Xx

    Honestly, just what I need right now. I am finding it so hard to accept the fact that my body is healthier at a higher weight. I have become so obsessed with what I am eating and exercising and it's so shitty! It's not how I want to live, but it's so hard to let go.

    God my story is nearly the same but I didnt reach anorexia nor any ed, I was restricting a lot but still allowed myself to eat « fine ». Nevertheless, I really think my period disappearing was the best sign to stop all that shit, together with being fed up with so much restriction. Inside you, you know there is sth going wrong that doesnt let you be totally happy and live the present moment.
    Thank u for sharing, i reached you already at a good stage of this beautiful process that I think I am completing, but i’m sure it will help sooooo many people!!! You cant imagine. Thank you and keep it up girl! We need to empower ourselves :)

    Wow! This is your first video. You have a great presence. I personally don't want to focus on eating disorders as much since I'm trying to recover my mind, as my body is okay right now, and focusing on eating disorders doesn't necessarily heal the mind from obsessing about eating disorders, but this is a great, positive video! I also like any eating disorder video that pays homage to the One and Only. I used to cringe at how "God helped me recover!" and "God is the only answer!" after having grown up in an extremely orthodox Jewish atmosphere. Now I see the truth. God really IS the only way to recovery, but I'll give everyone who disagrees some slack because I was like that too.

    I've never had an eating disorder, but in the past year, I've gone from being just barely 100lbs to about 115-120 and I've experienced almost all of these, too. I just naturally wasn't able to keep on weight, but always wanted to be curvier and now that I actually am, it's difficult to accept, but I really do feel 100x better! I never realized how underweight I was until watching this, so thank you..it makes me feel better about gaining weight!

    I'm in recovery since 2016, it has been very hard but I'm feeling so much better now, it is a long process and it's not linear but I feel free and more happy in my life ❤️ I had eating disorders since I was a teenager (I'm 24 yo now) and one day I had enough because I was so empty and so sad, my family and my fiancé were suffering from this situation so I decided to myself that I had to recover or else I would have died... Thank you for your videos, for sharing your story with us , You are an amazing woman ❤️ Also the thing that saved me the most was my faith in God ❤️

    I don't agree with you on the thing about spiritual practice, tho. Being spiritual/religious is not for everyone.
    Having a great support-system (which is, in essen, what you mean, I think?) IS very important, when you are struggling. But a support system can also "just" be your family, your friends, or even your pet

    I started recovering in july, but only in the last month I actually realized what I’m doing. I’ve never done something so difficult in all my life. I feel more meat on my body. I fell I gained weight. And maybe I also feel better. I feel more people in my life, and maybe I also feel less... anxious? I don’t know , I don’t feel like somebody is running behind me anymore. I know that even if I haven’t accepted my body yet, the recovery is still long. I hope to feel better and better everyday, to get my period and to live my life as it deserves to be lived. Thank you.

  • @cryphiliac4086
    @cryphiliac4086 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is so inspiring.. I really need to gain weight since i've lost my period, but it's difficult since i'm not exactly extremely underweight or "sick enough" since i really want to get better.. Treatment centers for eating disorders won't help me either because of my insurance, and it really pained me at my eating disorder evaluation when the woman looked me in the eye and although it was indirect, she told me i wasn't sick enough to be in their program which i find extremely hard to hear especially when we want to get better that you can't have access to a therapist and dietician and people that can really boost your recovery. It almost makes me not want to recover and i'm so conflicted.. A sick part of me wants to stop eating altogether to 'prove them wrong'.
