Just wanted to let you know, you’re not just helping people with anorexia, you’re helping everyone who has even a slightly unhealthy relationship with food or facing the pressures of wanting to look “perfect” which is basically everyone on the planet. You’re saving the world, Ro!!! Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️ You’re absolutely amazing 💕
oh this is so so kind 😭🤎 thank u xxxxx
@@RoMitchell What Lauren just said is so true, I don't suffer from anorexia yet your videos help me SO MUCH. Thank you for being there, stay yourself, follow your road, we walk alongside you
Or even just how to be brave and do scary or difficult things -- which is all of us!
True 💯% !!!!! I have trouble gaining weight(my mom is 4ft 9in and weighs 100lbs soaking wett) im 5ft weighing 80lbs and struggle getting 3 meals down a day while my nutritionist want me too eat 2400 calories a day and i can Barley get 1000 calories down. You help me with meal ideas and i totally did two toasted bread with chilli beans and cheese the first night watched your video and was SUPER YUMMY!! i ate it all and was suprised!! I hate being so tiny
Ps thank you sooooo much and I'll continue too watch your journey and positive vibes your way
Ditto to this too. I am at the other end of the weight spectrum but became stress and obsessed too , . Your videos are so relatable to many in different ways too. Thank you Ro. So proud of your journey 💛
Remember y’all true baddies eat baked beans and butter and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise ✌︎︎ you go queen Ro
BAD BBBBBS BAKED BEANS
Yessssssss omg I love this! 👏👏👏
And if u don’t like it like me butter u drizzle coconut oil on top 😆
@@RoMitchell ur so pretty!!
can we just take a second to talk about how pretty she is? LIKE OMFG YOURE FREAKING GORGEOUS!!
The “eyes” have it!!!
@@johnshepard629 YESSS
she looks so alive compared to the beginning of the journey, so proud
Totally agree her face is so bright 🌞
Going for a girl's brunch is the biggest 🖕 to anorexia. So incredibly proud of you Ro!
yes it felt it too !!! thank you 💕
“You don’t have to be hungry to finish your food like COME ON you paid for that” I love this
When you say you used to like and love a certain food, the truth is you've never stopped liking them, you just stopped loving and liking yourself. Find the love for yourself again, and give yourself what you deserve. Living is not a criminal offence. x
really love this. thank you x
"I really want a banana"
that's character development
I like felt it when she said that fr 🥺😭
although I don’t have an ed, I struggle with body image and seeing you challenge different foods has motivated me to challenge wearing shorts in public or a bikini.
So thank you so much :)
Keep on fighting girl, we’re fighting with you 💘
im proud of you! xxxx
you go bae!!! you got this, ur beautiful ♥️
Same!!
yesss, we both know you look cute in the swimsuit 😍💕
Me too 😁💕
You have such a pretty eye color omg😭💓
ahh thank you x
I love having my meals with you. I was diagnosed with anorexia a couple months ago and just recently came home from my 2 1/2 month hospital stay and I've been having trouble at home. I'm proud to say that i've sat down and had a strawberry and peanut butter sandwich with you :)
That sounds amazing, I’m glad you’re out of the hospital.
❤🧡💛
I don’t know you but I’m so proud of you ❤️
@@SM-dx1it awww. thank you:)
So beyond proud of you!! Keep going you can do this💕💕
I love how much you are improving with your mentality and your attitude. Like, even though you cried all afternoon you were able to say "hey, this is actually a positive thing because I am actually feeling my emotions instead of using restriction as a coping mechanism". WOW! That is some major progress. So proud of you
Dang that legit is proper progress. That does not come easy
u have no idea how much u are helping so many people like you and my therapist are the only ones keeping me motivated whatsoever at the moment which is crazy bc i don't even know you irl. but thank you
sending you a huge hug 🤎 keep going
also that’s literally the cutest ketchup bottle what the heck
Yes omg! why isn't ketchup bottles always shaped like that, it would be so much more fun than the regular ones, also it makes sense too??😂😢
When I was in highschool (UK) those tomato ones were the only ones we had, no normal looking bottles.
@@tantanmustdie AHHH I LOVE THAT
Is it strange that as an obese girl, with a definite food addiction and dependency for food, this is actually helping me so much stay on track with my healthier lifestyle (I'm not calling it a diet because I'm not restricting anything just learning how to have a balanced lifestyle)
U go girl!!!I m with u...even though I m not obese...I have always had normal weight but I have started loosing a lot of weight...Idk I may be developing anorexia so I wanna learn about that...sending lots of hugs
I'm the same! Was overweight most of my life, finally reached a normal weight with sustainable and healthy methods. I still struggle with my relationship with food, labeling certain foods as good or bad is something I'm still trying to unlearn and Ro's been helping a lot.
Girl I’m the same!
"We are literally on a floating rock...." Possibly the wisest things I've heard in a long time. From a 40 year old, learning about eating disorders from creators like yourself as I re-train for a job supporting children and young people's mental health. Thanks for your content - it's so helpful to see what goes on from your perspective.
I'm a 10 year old learning from the rest of the world. Eating disorders are only one portion to learn about.
I have the exact opposite ED (binge eating) and I’m so proud of you! You’re doing so well! So far I haven’t binged in 2 months and it just goes to show that even though we have different EDs, we’re both going in the right direction! Again, so proud of you! That breakfast looked amazing!
i’m proud of you too!! that’s a real achievement 🤎 thank you :)
Hey! I also suffer from binge eating for a long period of time. This greatly spoils my life and health, I constantly try to fight it but I still break down and everything repeats again. So, I would like to know how you deal with this disorder? What helps you? Sorry if I'm intruding...
@@mell_kr Not intruding at all! I have done a lot of therapy and self-reflection. Learning what triggers a binge is key! I'm an emotional eater, and I learned to incorporate other coping mechanisms that weren't food-related. Honestly, my advice is to seek out a mental health professional. Specifically, one that has experience with eating disorders. There's absolutely NO SHAME in seeking help. We see a doctor when our bodies are ill, so we shouldn't feel bad going to a doctor for our mental health too!
@@RoMitchell Thanks! We can do this! We can kick EDs out of our lives and be free to experience the world unencumbered!
@@mell_kr I am no specialist in any way, shape or form but I have found that the YT channels of Kiana Docherty and Abbey’s Kitchen to contain helpful tool against binge eating. They both refer a lot to scientific studies which is great (for instance, Abbey explains how when you restrict (eg by not listening to your hunger or by cutting out entire groups of foods) you may trigger a scarcity mentality which makes you binge when it’s time to eat). Hope you find these helpful
20 secs in the video and I already can‘t comprehend how pretty Ro is🤯🤯🤩
stop 🥺🥺
She is BEAMING.
I know, right?! She’s stunning.
She really is!!! So jealous
SHE IS AN ABSOLUTE STAR! i love her FACE ❤ she is GLOWING
I’m new to your channel and have just spent my evening watching all of your videos 🙈 you’re an absolute inspiration and a gem of a human being! Keep going, you’re doing amazing 💕
So crazy! I watch you and I just found her videos, and you watch her now too. Did not expect the 6 degrees of separation!
thank you so so much 🤎
Your “eating people’s fear foods” from 3 months ago randomly popped up in my recommendations. It was my first time I’ve ever seen your channel. I watched the whole video through, and then jumped to your most recent upload (this one!) and my GOD, you’ve come such a long way. You are glowing. Your eyes are brighter! Your skin is brighter and has beautiful color to it. It is a daily struggle, but you got this. Also, don’t feel like you have to be strong for your viewers - if a day is extra crappy and hard, talk about it. Don’t hide it. We are here on the journey with you! Ups and downs! x
Shes def gaining her weight and in recovery. So happy for her she looks much more healthy now.
Exactly how I ended up here. Ro you are amazing and helping me already with my own body image demons ❤❤
@@somrahprincess1 hey, i know you probably meant well but saying someones “gained weight” or “looks healthy” when theyre in recovery from anorexia can actually be really triggering!! again, im sure you didnt mean it in a harmful way, just thought id let you know :)
I love hearing her talking about how hungry she is. It's so wholesome!
ikr, so proud
I struggle with body image and I'm also going out for dinner tonight, I feel guilty for eating sweet things especially today because I'm going out. But this has definitely made me feel better. Thank you Ro, you're so amazing and beautiful x
you deserve to enjoy yourself tonight xx
This video today has literally been a godsend. I've been trying to get better but I've spent the past afternoon trying to convince myself I don't need dinner because I had a snack bar. But you know what no? I'm craving a certain meal and I will have that meal
Yes! We are all with you.
Proud of you! I had lunch and dinner today, I usually never have more than 2 meals a day so I'm watching this and hyping myself into having dinner!! You always deserve to eat, no matter your size. You deserve to be happy x
@@ceeee3104 well done! Food is energy. Food is nutrients. Food is friends sharing a meal at a table. Food is love. You deserve all of these things.
I am soo so proud of you!!
Yay!!! Good for you, I'm cheering you on.
I’m eating my morning snack: an apple, but I was still hungry, so had a custard cream!
So proud of youuu!!!!
well done!! keep going xx
The raw honesty in this vlog is admirable.... So helpful to see the ups and downs of recovery because it's not an easy process and is such a rollercoaster. Plus when emotions kick back in they're all deregulated because they have been suppressed by the ed or as you say you have taken them out on yourself through ed behaviours.... Your brain needs time to take stock and remember what to do with the various emotions when they come.... Allowing yourself to feel them is the first step and just remember that ALL emotions are valid and they pass.... Sit through the really hard emotions and wait for them to pass, then keep pushing forward 💕
You don’t need to apologize for the video “being all over the place.” It’s okay to have emotions and I’m grateful that you are brave enough to show them to us. It could help people understand how hard it is to recover. Thank you for sharing your story.
I need to know where to find the Winnie the Pooh pep talk! This is probably my favourite out of all your vlogs, it’s touching how much you’re sparkling - you’re leading the battle for all of us, thank you from the bottom of my heart ✨🙏🏼🤍
i actually typed it myself so i only have the clip of it in here !! thank you so much 🤎🤎
How did you make the Winnie the Pooh clip?!! Soooo helpful awww❤️
RO, you are so incredibly unbelievably STRONG. I have been documenting my own ED recovery journey on my own channel and know the hardships of an eating disorder. You are truly incredible and I hope you know that. There is a whole community out here rooting for you and I wish you the best with your recovery. FIGHTING WITH YOU. 💪❤️
All the best to you too Maddie. You are strong too !
To everyone who´s reading this, PLEASE think twice before you publish a comment, i know everyone does it with their best interest in mind but some comments can be really triggering for @romitchell or any other person with an ED. Lets spread love and support everyone´s journey. Ro you are a queen and such a fighter,such an example and inspiration. I always love your video and they have helped me so much! Lots of love from Buenos Aires,Argentina
I know your mom doesn't like being on camera much, but I just wanted to say that split second clip of her in the beginning was so sweet. She is lovely and truly an amazing person! It's no wonder you are so kindhearted and brave with a mom like her
I was literally crying over my cereal and I stumbled across this video. Thank you so much, you are a real motivation to basically eat
Hey, I have a friend with Body dysmorphia and some eating disorders, and they are trying to recover. I really appreciate this video, it helps me to understand and help. It also makes me happy aswell. Thank you! God bless you!
Ro, I just wanna thank you so much. You really motivated me to put an end to my shitty eating behaviors. Its not easy but your videos inspire me to keep going and make me feel like its all gonna be worth it. You really make such a difference!! Lots of love from Germany
YOU CAN DO THIS!
you got this b
It's worth it, because you are worth it. You are worthy. You are loved. You are enough.
Ro, please don't cry. You literally look better and better with every new video.
Also, I just want to let you know that puffy face during recovery is a very very common thing. It's just water retention because your body has been deprived and this is a good sign that you’re starting to feed it again. My face was very swollen during the first 2 years, of recovery, which made me super insecure and thought I was "fat". But trust me, I am now 3 years into recovery and considered myself fully recovered, my face is no longer swollen and is completely back to normal. Keep fighting and you will see the difference!!
Omg the same thing happened to me
Avoiding emotions is unhealthy and disordered, please do not recommend it to anyone
It's so amazing to see you have so much more energy and life back in your eyes! Keep going Ro, we're so proud of you
thank you so much 🪴💞
You are so genuine and warm and funny. I've been trying to dive fully into recovery after being "semi-recovered" for years and these videos are so comforting. You just have such a lovely personality and it's amazing to see it come out more with each new video.
"Feeling the feelings and moving on" is probably the best advice. I learned that most of our bad habits are made out of the avoidance of pain, but the most helpful thing you can do is let yourself feel and experience the discomfort so you don't do anything harmful just to avoid the pain.
Also, motivational pep-talk Winnie the pooh was the most adorable thing ever, I need that lol
I absolutely adore the polar bear! I want to get one too, even though I already own quite a few stuffed animals 😂 but the truth is, soft things always make me feel better. It's quite comforting to have something to cuddle with when you're feeling down.
it genuinely is my new bestie i can’t
My baby blanket had the saying "when all else fails hug a bear" on it and I agree.
@@RoMitchell ikea has the best stuffed animals I swear!!!
"We're litterly on a floating rock. It doesn't really matter." That's the best thing I've heard 😂❤️
Your personality is so beautiful!! It’s so nice to see it coming out - recovery seems to be bringing out the real you and it’s so so nice to watch your journey to finding yourself again. You’re such a beautiful person. Thank you for sharing!!
eeeek this is so so lovely n warms my heart 🤎 thank you
just got home!! organising my life around Ro uploads?? hell yeah :)
i absolutely love how involved and supportive your parents are in your recovery
You seem so much happier for the most part. You're more excited about food. Which is great! Thanks for showing both the feelings of the highs and lows of eating disorder recovery!
I needed to hear you talk about not feeling anything and expressing emotions through food and restriction. Let's get better together kween
recovery gang !
“We’re literally on a floating rock” best quote ever, also you videos are amazing and you are so strong ❤️❤️❤️
I've been watching your videos because I've been dealing with nostalgia for my ED and your feats are inspiring. Thanks.
Just stumbled upon your channel…love love love it. I’m a mom, a wife, a teacher, and I am recovering from an eating disorder. I love your transparency and growth and strength…thank you for inspiring me and many others!!
I can barely put into words how warm my heart is everytime I watch your vids. I literally tear up while I root for you and your recovery. It's such a joy seeing someone so lovely, inside and out, fighting so hard for their well-being and livelihood. Your parents are the absolute sweetest and I wish I lived near you so that I could give you a thumbs up in person passing on the street while you walk Bee (Bea?) 🐝✨💘
Currently eating: the iced green tea I've been obssed with all summer. While waiting for my fruit to deforst for my smoothie
watching this with my overnight oats breakfast ~ thank you Ro for showing how hard recovery is, and how you continue to fight back in spite of that ^^
I'm so grateful that you're posting even when you're having a difficult day. Your peptalk put a smile on my face. I don't have an ed but I am recovering from depression and I'm in a constant battle with my brain as well. This week was kinda shitty for me, but now I am going to follow your example and just keep going!
Can we talk about how lovely the background music always is? Not only she is gorgeous inside and outside, she also has amazing music taste
I am snacking on some vegan coconut yogurt with strawberry’s and granola! And a cup of water with greens powder! Thank you for making these and reminding me that my ED is something I need to constantly work on... been a long time in a phase where I am “fine” enough to pretend it doesn’t exist. Watching your videos has brought up old emotions and is reminding me of the work I need to put in to keep myself healthy. Thank you lovely lady 💓💓
I’ve been so conscious about my body recently that I’ve been living in baggy hoodies all the time. You’ve really helped me to love myself the way I am and I’m going to try and be confident because seeing your growth is the biggest motivation in the world. 💛
Ro, I know you may never see this, but I just wanted to say THANK YOU! you help me everyday in so many ways. at meals my mom says "what would ro say?" I am so proud of how far you have come, you inspire me every day xxxxx
this is so lovely, thank you 🥺 sending all my love xxxxx
@@RoMitchell 💗
You are not being negative, your are being realistic. Not everything is going to be positive and happy, that’s just not how things are, and that’s totally fine. You are doing AMAZING and you are so gorgeous and have such a beautiful heart. Don’t give up!
I’ve been overweight my whole life and have battled with cycles of restricting and binging, that did nothing but make me more unhappy with myself and my body. Your videos help me to feed my body what it needs even when those who see me wouldn’t think I’d dealt with disordered eating 💕
disordered eating doesn’t have a look - it’s a mental process. it doesn’t matter what anyone thinks. you deserve freedom xx
@@RoMitchell sending much love your way :)
"this world is a better place with you in it" thank you for this reminder Ro, I've been feeling so shit about myself recently, hating my body and my clothes, this video is just what i needed x
you are loved and needed and beautiful regardless of your body. your body is just a vessel for your soul - sending u love 💌🐻x
So many words of wisdom from this young lady. She should be so proud for pushing through even when it's clearly so hard. You can do this and your experience is inspiring x
Something I have noticed as your videos have progressed is how increasingly vibrant your personality has become. Its really beautiful to see ❤
I went through the exact same period of recovery when I'd just break down looking at myself and regret everything but you're amazing and you will get through it there is no doubt x
so much love! I'm so proud of u
so much love to u too !! thank you
I'm so proud of you!!! Congrats on your progress!
You remind me so much of me when I started recovery. I can relate to the joy of getting your freedom back so much. But I also relate to body image problems.
I spent years having very negative thoughts about my looks. Seeing you going through the same/similar thing is making me realize even more that your head can lie to you and that other things, like anxiety or stress, can be actually behind these thoughts.
I often ask myself these days: if I feel sad when people think negatively of themselves, why would I do the same thing to myself? I deserve to take up space in this world, too. Realizing this and becoming more self-aware is the most rewarding part of recovery.
I dont have the words for how thankful I am that you're sharing your story with us. I've struggled for years with ednos and my relationship with food. I'm currently 4 months pregnant and it's been brutal trying to come to terms with eating the way I have to to keep myself and the baby healthy, and preparing myself knowing the way my body will change. Watching how strong you are makes me feel like I can do it too. Even when it's almost painful it's so difficult. Thank you so much.
Edit: eating peanut butter toast with banana and cinnamon sugar, with a milk:)
Ro! I’m so proud!!! I don’t have an eating disorder but I feel for those that do, I am so proud that you enjoyed your brunch! You were glowing afterward!
I actually really like these more raw and emotional videos from ro cuz it really makes me feel a lot better about my own emotions too
I found your channel a few weeks ago, I do not have an eating disorder, so I cant not even imagine the challenge it has been trying to recover. All I have to say, is keep pushing yourself to eat all the nourishing food and remember that the food will help you look even more stunning then you already do!
I am new here but I went back and watched your older videos and there is a big difference in your personality. Your smile is brighter now, you look proud and more confident and just generally glow
you honestly are helping me and so many other people so much and i want to thank you for that because you bring joy to my days xx
🥺thank you for being here xx
Ro!! I’ve been watching from the beginning, this video is by far my favorite to have seen your growth. I’m so proud of you for listening to your body so many times in this video and eating what you need & want when your body tells you what it needs. That’s huge. You’re so inspiring.
I'm having a bottle of Ensure, which is something I have everyday since I am still working up my way to adding more varieties of foods in my recovery. I love to watch all of your videos over and over to keep reminding myself that recovery is the best choice, and it keeps me going. My brother also reminds me about the things you say whenever I feel like giving into the eating disorder, and he always encourages me to finish my meals and eat the food I need to eat. Thank you
i remember watching your videos at the start of recovery, and will admit i sometimes got a little bit triggered by them, so stopped watching them for a while (despite them being incredible). have stumbled across your account and rediscovered it. i am so grateful i have - you are so motivating and your videos have such a positive perspective now. this is proven by almost 100k subscribers oh my gosh. thank you so much for being so inspiring
I did not expect the polar bear to be named Sauerkraut. Love that 😭🤎
ive never been prouder of someone i didnt know.
righttt
Please never apologize to yourself or anyone at all for having feelings and emotions. Every emotion is valid! It is good to let it out and cry. Thank you for sharing that! I know it must've been hard! You are so strong! Thank you!!❤️
Hi Ro, I just want to say thank you for sharing tour journey to recovery. I developed anorexia at the age of 13 and am still suffering now at the age of 48. I wish I had received the amazing support, help and advice that you have because I know I have viven all these yeats to anorexia not something I would want for anyone. The way you share your challenges and thoughts is amazing, honest, bravo and so very helpful. I have decided that I too need to break through this and your blogs have helped me to reach that point. Thank you, you are beautiful, strong and a true inspiration xx
*liking the vid before I’m even past the ads*
real one
The way you rationalise things (or seem to) really resonates with me. That’s exactly what I do, I try put things in perspective, look at the bigger picture. Ps. I can totally see your progress. Keep going sweets!
i don't even have an ed but watching your videos is what helps me the most after a bad day. You're just shining even through the screen !
I have to admit something. When I first came out of the hospital and still was so mentally sick (because of the restrictive meal plan) and found this channel, I was so jealous of you. I didn't understand it then, but I can see it now. I didn't think that I could ever do what you did. But now that I've actually stopped following my plan and started eating more what I want, this channel has become such a motivation. We know how hard it is to do what we do. Eating is a full time job.. it's crazy. But I just want to thank you for opening my eyes to the possibility of life after ED.
Shes so much more lively and full of life now than when she first started her journey
Words to live by: ‘There is more to life than shrinking. ‘🍯🍯🍯💓💓💓
You are doing so great. As your body changes and your body dysmorphia tries so hard to tell you that you are not where you need to be, remember that you are worthy and that food is necessary every single day! Also as clothes no longer fit as you heal and grow into the body you deserve to have, thank them and sell/gift them to someone else who can enjoy them. Treat yourself to new clothes that make you feel confident!
YOU HAVE NEVER LOOKED MORE BEAUTIFUL , RO!! Honestly! Go enjoy and embrace your life!! the world NEEDS you
Her: I had a break down bcuz of body image issues
Me: *about to comment on how pretty she is and how radiant her skin looks* 👁️👄👁️
I’m going to have a wrap for my dinner - with veggies and ‘cheese’ inside (...and sriracha!) served with potato wedges.
i hope you enjoyed that meal
My best friend is over (fav meal support!) and we’re having roasted chickpea tabbouleh bowls! I always watch your videos when I eat, you help me make it all the way through my meals without convincing myself it’s too much 🥰 You’re a champion and I appreciate you endlessly.
and you are a champion too ! i’m really proud if you & so glad u feel safe here 🤎
please remember we think you are beautiful inside and out and thank you opening my eyes about food.
I’m so proud of you! I can’t imagine how hard this must be for you♥️♥️ You are so inspiring!
Yes!!! I’m so excited to see you WIN 🤍
u sweetie
This is the kind of recovery content that's actually helpful. Being honest about how you're feeling is so important, but I see many other "recovery" channels constantly body checking, restricting, etc. which is honest, but also triggering not only for others but for themselves as well. Thank you for this!
I have never struggled from any eating disorders but I have several severe mental illnesses in which the medication affects my appetite and I just wanted to say I'm so proud of you and I'm happy that you are taking steps to getting better because I understand how difficult that can be. Sending love
I love how this Vlog was so real! It honestly felt like I would listen to a really close friend 💕💕I‘m proud of you
as always ro BEAUTIFUL!!!
thanks my lovely girl!! 🤎🐻
this is a MASSIVE step i cant even put it into words. you literally just yelled at anorexia that it has no right to have control over u anymore. u even ate what u wanted which is even a bigger step because in recovery its so hard to allow yourself to but now this has opened up so many opportunities for you. you are so strong. keep pushing you brave girl. and thank you for helping every single one of us which is watching by being you and with your inspirational talks.
It’s really refreshing to see someone with the same issues I have go out and show the world what it’s like without it being somewhat romanticized. It’s raw and I really appreciate your ability to communicate your struggles to people who may not understand just how consuming an ED can be. Much love 💕
You're looking so much healthier and glowing and I hope you find peace mentally also somehow. Keep fighting❣
I'm having a lunch right now of pasta with Alfredo, veggie chicken and brussel sprouts
I LOVE that you share the good feelings AND the hard feelings. So many people in recovery have seen too many treatment center marketing promotions that portray recovery as a happy thing where you do yoga and smell flowers and everything is perfectly planned and you’re smiling all the time… But true recovery is a BATTLE! Those of us who have been through it know that recovery is a roller coaster of intense emotions in all directions. I always like to remind people that if they feel stressed out and scared and also happy but also terrified- they’re doing it exactly right. That’s normal, and- like you said- the emotions are a sign that the real ‘you’ is actually present and feeling genuine human emotions again. You’re doing great. Thanks for sharing your story!
this is totally true - thank you xxx
Hi Ro idk if you're gonna see this but I just really had to let you know how much you've helped me. I have been struggling with an ED for a while now and for a second there I didn't know if I would ever get better, but you gave me hope. Whenever I feel like I can't eat I just watch one of your videos and I feel a thousand times better. You really are making a difference Ro and I am so proud of you, like there aren't enough words to describe how happy I am for you. You're a role model for so many people, especially me. I love you sooo much Ro, thank you
