Love this. Last night I honored my hunger & picked up a bag of mini chocolate muffins (we have a huge box of them, my dad takes some to work). He came into my room with the biggest smile on his face & gave me a fist bump. He said he'll get the other flavors so we can try them together. He was So happy. It made me realize how much I was hurting not only myself but my family with this disorder. Little things like that make the process easier. Recovery really is so worth it
that is so sweet omg and im also so proud of you xxxxx
This is the sweetest thing. It made my day.
Tonight at dinner I had a BLT sandwich, and I ate as much as i could, and had some of my dad’s lasagna. I told him I was full but was gonna have a little extra, and I could tell that made him happy. Dads care about us so much, and worry tons, sometimes they just don’t know how to go about asking or expressing concerns. You’re going great beautiful, those chocolate muffins were probably delicious 🥰❤️
this is so beautiful and we’re all proud of you, keep going ❤️ ly
thanks to this comment im going to get ice cream with my grandma ! so proud of u
Ro: “I cried in a video. How embarrassing”
Me: “she cried. She’s human. She’s honest. And we love her for it.”
🥺
Leanne Wente, EXACTLY!
I don’t think she has any idea how much she’s helped people in recovery (including myself).
My daily dose of motivation :)
omg this makes my heart warm 🥺
Same here. I'm really struggling with this.
imagine this : your parents stand in front of a shelf in the supermarket, picking out food for this video, your dad gives your mum a side hug and one of them whispers “our daughter is getting her life back”. i can’t imagine how incredibly proud they are of you. keep going xX
Omg this actually made me cry
this made my cry
i’m a 19 year old boy and this made me cry…
Instant cry maker this comment
ok wattpad
You should get grackle to choose your meals for a day, she’s a food queen and think your personalities are both superior!! Keep fighting, you’re doing incredible!!!
Omg I love Grackle !!
somebody tell grackle to send me a meal plan hahaha
I love both of them so much and they posted at the same time hahahaha
I loveeee Grace! I think Ro and Grace would be the best of friends!
@@fazrumi3007 yeahhh i think so too
Crying does not mean that the video is not positive. I am a very anxious person who bottles most of my feelings because I want to keep everyone else calmed and happy, and crying when I get overwhelmed helps me a lot. If I was not a crier I feel like I would be in such a bad place.
Thank you for every video and I wish you the best Ro! You are so strong ❤️
yeah I was kinda annoyed at myself for saying that, because crying is a healthy release. thank you so much 🤎
Most of the time, crying is my only coping mechanism for processing overwhelming situations or emotions. It’s a release of stress that’s been building up and up, good to let it out. ❤️❤️
Yes! Crying and being real/vulnerable in your video is actually so positive and healthy, for you and for everyone watching!
My dad would have done ~
Breakfast: toast soldiers
Snack: trail mix
Lunch: tomato soup with saltines, sweet pickles, baby carrots with dip
Snack: mango
Dinner: veggie burger with cheese on the bbq (mustard, ketchup, garden tomatoes, dill pickles), milk
Snack: microwave popcorn
My dad passed away unexpectedly after a surgery in 2017 when I was 39. We had a tumultuous relationship because he didn't know how to deal with the brevity of my ED, and it became increasingly so when my Mother developed cancer and all his energy and love went into "protecting" her from the stress of dealing with (essentially) me. We fell away from each other despite my efforts to stay connected, and he died after having not spoken to me in 4 months, not knowing how much I longed for his love, support, approval, not knowing how I believed he hung the moon, not knowing how much I would have loved for him to have participated in my recovery like this,
Keep going, Ro.
PS I had a dream not that long ago that I was eaten by a giant horrifying piranha and spit out like Jonah in the Bible
I am so so so sorry Maggie. ❤
I lost my dad too, unexpectedly in Dec 2016 when I was 27. I will have a think and ask other family members what he might have chosen for me, and vow to eat it in September.
I would love for you to fulfil what you think your dad would have chosen for you too.
Sending you big hugs. ❤
@@ailsamalone6027 thank-you for sharing this! I'm sorry for your loss as well
@@jc-246
my dad would have chosen:
breakfast, toast with pickled onions and cheese
snack: BBQ Shapes (Australian) with guacamole
Lunch: Tomato sandwich with coke spider
Snack: Doughnuts
Dinner: Potato hash with caramelized onions and sausages
May our dads rest in peace xx
I'm sorry for your loss Maggie. I understand your pain. I lost my dad to COVID back in 2020. He went into the hospital the day after I finished treatment and I can't help but feel guilty that his last months alive were spent taking care of me.
Let me just point out how much more energy you’ve gotten since the beginning - you smile, sing and it’s lovely to see. There’s such a huge mental change (strength ) lots of love and support !!
It always makes me happy to see you finish your food, I always feel self conscious every time I finish my food, like "everyone leaves something out" or "no one eats everything in their plate"... but seen you finish a meal always makes me feel less alone... and like "yeah, people do finish their meals" thank you Ro for always inspiring me to always keep pushing forwards😊
i used to think that too!! everyone finished their meals, unless they’re completely full which i never am :,) xx
I love your relationship with your dad and although his choices are freaking you out, you clearly trust him and his humour and banter helps you through it which I love. Sometimes seeing the lighter side of the Ed is actually helpful, along with the type of encouragement your mum gives. Stating the facts and reassuring you. Your parents are amazing as everyone always says, however it's still YOU that's doing recovery so flipping well done for constantly rising to the challenge 💯💪
Yesss who else here is tuning in for original recovery content? This one is literally getting me sentimental, my parents have been utterly amazing during my recovery but my lovely dad has practically dedicated his life to getting me better and prepares all my meals ! I feel so lucky and this video reminds me of that . (Ok soppy bit over the daughter-dad CHEMISTRY is on point!!)
hahaha love this !!
I completely understand that feeling of having to "get ready" for meals. I would say the majority of the time now before a meal i have to clean my desk, make sure my clothes are put away, get dressed and brush my hair and use the restroom before eating. I know thats weird but like i feel incomplete if i dont
wow i’ve never realised that i do this too :/
Its because we like to take our time to eat and enjoy the food, so having worries at the back of our mind spoils it :)
Oh my god I do this too it’s like a weird ritual before every meal I never realised it was an eating disorder thing
@@izzyhardy3487 it aint. its normal lol.
I just ate a full dinner AND ice cream which is huge for me and felt so guilty for feeling guilty if that makes sense
Seeing that you struggle too and that not a single healing in this world is linear has really helped me :) thank you so much!
Also: who agrees that ro‘s dolly impersonation was actually not bad rather pretty good??
Greetings from Germany
As you know it’s completely fine to have a bagel for snack. The more your mind focuses on something that feels scary and overwhelming, the bigger that food appears. It’s like the anorexic brain zooms in on it and makes it appear 10x bigger than in reality.
Watching this video has given me so much strength and motivation, so thank you Ro. The fact that you felt the fear but chose to do it anyway proves that you’re winning. I’m so proud of you and to see your dad so excited about preparing your food makes me feel so happy!! 🥰🥰🥰
Omg the difference in the energy she has now compared to the first videos is amaaaaazing, congratulations Ro, you are doing incredible, so proud. ❤
i just want to thank you. i am a fifteen guy and have anorexia and even when i am at my lowest, i will still watch your content and wish to get to your point. you make me hold hope that one day will be better for me.
You can do it Connor! You're here because you're stronger than you know!
one day you will get to her point, i believe in you. never lose the hope you have. and never forget that you are loved and so much more than your appearance!!🤍
You will get there! I know you will❤️
I’m 16, and I’m in the same boat we are in this together!
I believe in you!!🤎🤎 You will battle this and WIN, i'm a 100% certain of that❤️🔥
I’ve been watching you for over six months in your recovery, and have never commented. I just want to say I am so proud of you! You are so precious! Stay safe, take care.😍
thanks for being here!🤎
I heard a lot of “I shouldn’t be feeling like this or I shouldn’t be panicking” and want to say to y’all that it is okay to feel whatever you’re feeling. To invalidate our emotions and thoughts will only make them stronger. Whenever I’m having an uncomfortable emotion or thought I remind myself that they shall pass as everything in life, that they come because they have something to tell me and I must learn from them and then let go. It is a long process to learn to validate ourselves, it is even more challenging to do it with uncomfortable emotions, every single one of them is valid.
Stay safe, feel, cry, scream and then take a long breath and move forward, you can do this and are stronger than you think.
i completely agree w all of this 🤎 i mainly felt bad for feeling these things because it was my dad who was giving me the food etc, but it’s healthy to cry x
Seems like you’re such a cool family 😄 I love the banter and funny comments between you and your parents! Your humor in general is soooo good and relatable! Greets from Germany xx
ah thank you!! xx
I have just realised that going to the toilet before every meal is an ED thing! I’m in recovery and I thought it was normal to do this but hearing Ro saying the same thing made me realise. I’m glad I’m not alone!
As a mom your parents support has me in tears every time 🥺
i am so happy to see how supportive your family is! and you seem so happy when you’re around them
they’re wonderful 🥺🦋
This video absolutely melted my heart. Your dad was absolutely chuffed to be doing this with you. Ro, you're amazing. Whether or not you're always happy, you certainly seem lighter. Sending you and your family alllll the light and love!
thanks so much lovely! x
@@RoMitchell You are so welcome! 🥰🥰
It’s my last day in Portugal today & im so proud of myself this past 12 days. I’ve eaten nutella, crepes, pancakes, chocolate, cake, ice cream, pasta, pizza, chips, cookies, white bread (basically all unknown calories & fear foods) i couldn’t be happier🥺🥺
so so proud of u xxxx
Wow I'm proud as well -- you can do it!
thank you for being so incredible ro, started my recovery a few weeks ago and i’ve been really struggling today- this video feels like such a comfort right now
please keep going, you deserve to xx
As always Ro, you are such an INSPIRATION. I have also been documenting my ED recovery journey and know how hard it is... but you are KILLING IT! Especially giving up control to someone else. You are doing it, and you are doing it amazingly. KEEP GOING! YOU GOT THIS 💪❤️
You got this too Maddie 😁
I’m going to keep this short and sweet. I am so very proud of your progress. I can’t wait to see where this journey will take you. Take care of yourself. Sending positive vibes your way.
thank you so so much xxxx
Ro I've been following you since the beginning of your journey (fun fact: you started it on my birthday) but this is the first time I comment and I wanna say that you are such a lovely soul and you're giving me so much hope and strenght! That being said, I wasn't expecting that TMI but trust me girl I can totally relate!! Thank you for speaking about it, you made me feel validated (and less crazy, like there are actually other people struggling with the same thoughts?!).
Hope you have a wonderful evening!
I literally went ‘oh my god that is actually an ed thing??!’ Because I have exactly the same thing, thought it came from being in treatment and having to go to the loo before every meal and snack but that was a long time ago and I still need to do it!
feeling guilty about eating while being encouraged to eat by ro is so healing. thank you. i am eating along with you :).
That "you go girl" got me tearing up, you have the best most supportive parents! So sweet ❤️
Your lunch looked soo good!
For some reason this video felt a lot more emotional. Your whole family together helping you through, planning your meals and you completely trusting them. Well done ❤❤
thank you!🤎
so so proud of you!! i was really struggling with recovery today and as always, you're an inspiration to what is possible when you go all in. thank you, much love and wishing you the best 🤍
you got this ! 🤎
Your parents are EVERYTHING. You’re amazing. Never stop shining💫
I'm REALLY struggling at the moment so when I saw you uploaded a new video I got excited. These videos help me so much they're very calming and supportive. Thankyou Ro for being an inspiration to me x
I often think about you when I'm cooking and when I do, I try to send you some positive vibes and strenght. I hope you feel supported on this channel because we are all here cheering for you girl!!! 😘
THE GOING TO THE BATHROOM BEFORE EATIG THING. OH MY GOD I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME!!! like i always will fully prepare the meal and get everything out in front of me and then go pee because i dont want to have to pee while eating because i want to fully enjoy the meal and it wouldnt be like, "perfect" if i dont pee first. so weird ive never even considered challenging it because i never thought of it as a "rule," but i guess it kind of is
Your parents are literal angels. You are so lucky. You’ve done so well Ro. Congrats
You’re so strong !!! Crying and getting emotional can be positive too! You identified you were angry at your disorder and talked rational thoughts into your mind. It’s those moments that condition your mind to be healthy again and that make you so much stronger 💙💙
This video made my heart warm
🤎🤎
In the hospital for my anorexia right now and watching you is so inspirational and makes me remember why I need to get better. I can't walk right now or do much because of the ana but seeing you able to walk, sit up and stand gives me so much hope for myself in my recovery. You're truly an inspiration and are an amazing person ❤️
How are you doing now?
How you doing? It’s been a year so I rlly hope your 100x better! ❤
Girl, you DID THIS! Look at you go! I’m so proud of you!
thank you!🤎
your dad was so sweet to do all that food preparation for you, and you were so appreciative of him ....... you know that made him happy. ❤
I could only imagine how chuffed your dad was feeling being able to share this with you. I never thought I would feel this way towards someone on the internet... But I'm so incredibly proud of you & how far you've come! Watching you take back your power & your life has been so empowering for us all of us, and I'm rooting for you always! Thank you for sharing your journey with us, it has been an absolute privilege to be apart of 💖💖💖
As somebody who can finally call herself fully recovered, I can say that watching you push through so diligently is so inspiring. I know how hard it is and I also know that you and everybody else reading this who’s struggling can do this! It’s so worth it! 🥰💕✨
Well done Ro 🥂
Concentrate on what you achieved, you ate that bagel, even though you found it difficult. You chose you, you fuelled you and you fought for yourself. Well done!
P.S. I hadn't even realised how much diet culture effects me. Since watching your videos I am a lot happier eating whatever I fancy. Thank you 😊
I actually can’t explain how proud of you and everybody else working this hard in recovery at whatever the pace that’s works for them is, It literally makes me smile thinking of it
your parents love you so much, this is such a beautiful act of service and support
You did amazing, watching you actively push through the barriers is really inspiring. You should be really proud of yourself 🥰
thanks so much 🦋✨🥺
Hello Ro! The TH-cam Algorithm brought me to your channel and I'm so glad it did. I'm writing this comment to let you know that you're doing an amazing, amazing job and helping so many people around the world. I'm fortunate enough to have a healthy relationship with food but can I just say that its so so refreshing to see someone on the internet actively shattering diet culture norms and helping tons of people.
You're doing great ❤❤ Lots of love.
this is so lovely, thanks for being so kind 🤎
you’re literally so incredible ohmygggg
sending love xxxxx
I love how real u are in your videos! You're my biggest motivation, keep going Ro!
thank you
I really love the support from your family, especially with your dad saying ‘You go girl’ and you are one of the few youtubers I can watch and not even skip any parts. You are doing amazing keep up the great work❤️
Love the energy you and your family give ☺️ and so happy on your progress 🤗
ah thank you so much xxxx
so lovely how happy your parents seem for spending time together with you, the atmosphere seems to be so full of love to me, pretty inspiring
You are literally the most incredible person here on internet!! I love you so so much and i am so grateful for everything you do cuz you are helping be every single day whenever i feel bad about myslef or doubt my recovery 🙏❤ thank you and sending love ❤❤❤❤
seeing you laughing is my biggest motivation to recover truly !!
this is so lovely! thank you 🥺🥰🤎
one thing that has helped me soo much is when your brain is being really unkind, turn your fav song on and sing along because your brain cant think unkind thoughts when singing.
I just watched one of your old videos again, & I'm actually amazed by how far you've come. You have so much more life & personality to you now, & it's really so inspiring. In this one, you're singing & making jokes, bonding w your family, laughing... you were so much quieter and more reserved in your old videos, & it's been truly amazing seeing how wonderfully recovery has impacted you!!
Omg I love this so much my dad has also been such an inspiration in my recovery and this is the sweetest thing ever ❤️❤️
You're so much more excited about this one and less anxious than the one with your mum which is great progress xx
Mentioning the loo routine before eating is something I hadn’t even factored into my ED wow. Thanks for sharing !
This is giving me soooo much motivation to keep pushing myself in recovery🥺your Dad is the sweetest!
When you were talking about how you wish you could go back to 8 months ago, I was just thinking that maybe a few years from now when you have truly, fully recovered it would be interesting if you watched your first few videos and reacted to them. You are like a completely different person now. It's amazing how much you've changed.
Wow you really inspire me to just do it! I've been wanting to let my mum control my food for a day for ages but keep freaking out and delaying it saying "we'll do it next week" but there really is no time like the present and we shouldn't waste any more of our lives surrendering to this illness. Keep fighting, we're all in this together ♥️
Ohh, I am struggling with eating disorder and I always go toilet after having meal and actually I haven’t realized that this is a eating disorder’s attitude. Thank you for being so clear about your journey. It is really helpful for us!💙
I've watched some of your videos recently. I love the fact that you are not ashamed of showing your weaknesses. And believe it or not, this is your strenght. As a person who struggled with anorexia for years, I'm pretty sure you are on the right track to get out of that hell. Keep going and be proud of yourself!!!!
these videos are so comforting, i get so excited when seeing the notifications, i'm glad you're doing good ro
ah you're so sweet! thank you xxxx
You've made so much progress and look so healthy now! I hadn't watched your videos in a while but the difference is showing
You truly are having a huge and powerful impact on your audience Ro. You’re doing so much good for yourself and others you’re bright and strong.❤️
thank you 🤎
Thank you for showing the struggles too ❤️ you've done so well and sometimes recovery is hard as fuck, and you need to have a cry over a bagel. But you eat the bagel anyway and it gets easier next time ❤️
yes to this 🤎 thank you
I’m living for the wholesome dad content ❤️😍🥰❤️ **cries in daddy issues because my dad sucked**
you are so so wonderful and brave ro, thank you for everything you’ve done. we are all so proud
The Ohio state hoodie is hilarious to me as someone who is from that area of the US, great vid so far Ro! You’re glowing 💕
when I put it on insta people said that haha, thank you !!
It was the same with me as I was watching
Aha in the U.K. vintage shops there is LOADS of hoodies with random US states and universities and sports.
I dont know if this will help you but i was told "its okay to be in the struggle and struggle with it" meaning as long as you are on the path to being better there will be times when its so very hard and hurts to want to keep struggling but those are the moments that help break down whatever barrier you erected .
I am Proud of you and the grace you show as you literally show your growth to others.
love this so much. thank you xxxx
@@RoMitchell Hope you know how beautiful you are on the inside and out.
Omg the toilet thing is something I never associated with my ED??? I do it for every meal and now it makes so much sense and its good to hear its not just a me thing. You are amazing and your channel/insta has helped me so much ❤
im endlessly proud of you and so are your parents. Don't feel guilty for your reactions, you are doing so well hold strong and keep not giving in. Trust your body, everyone has a natural body weight that the body likes to stay at. We love you ro!
sorry for my terrible English
(I'm from chile) but I really wanted to thank you for helping me a lot in my recovery process
I see you from the beginning although at that time I hadn't started recovery you were a great motivation to start recovering and also to keep doing it
I'm so glad that you are doing much better and I hope you keep improving and enjoying life which we lost for a long time. 🖤
Omg that green hoodie you're wearing is such a beautiful color and the perfect oversize fit my goodness i need something like that in my life rn
Hey Ro! This was so wholesome to watch! Sat watching with my first dinner of pasta since I was 13 letting my dad make it. I’m 20 now so 7 years! Thank you for the inspiration
Ro you SMASHED THIS 👏🏼 👏🏼 I know you struggled and really felt the guilt but the tears and dread is just anorexia realising its losing and how amazing is that YOU are beating it!! Its ok because you felt all that and STILL pushed through, be proud of the strong woman you've become 💪🏽 ❤
im so proud of you
keep going sweet 💕🥺
ro! i think a room tour video would be super interesting to watch. every clip i’ve seen of your room, ive been obsessed
Watching you recover gives me actual joy. You are so strong, thank you for all the positivity ❤
i actually loved the end of this. there is literally nothing negative about it. i would argue the ending was the most positive part of the video. you are light and life ✨
thanks so much 🦋🥰
You're videos help me accept that's its okay to snack and eat what I want when I want it, and the rest of the public media can bugger off! Thank you so much! 😘
You are so strong! Everytime I watch your videos it makes me feel like I could do anything to make my life better. You give me so much hope!! Thank you 💚
that makes me v happy 🤎
Your dad is such a sweetheart i love your relationship with him. so cute
he's an angel haha
@@RoMitchell he is!!
Just watched your challenging food habits video and wanted to see how you were progressing and let me just say you are GLOWING. The transformation between the two videos in just a few months has my heart so happy. I am so proud of you & you have now become a new inspiration for me. Wishing you the best.
I’ve said this before, but it bears repeating. Your parents are awesome. You come from an amazing family. Anorexia doesn’t have a chance to survive. 💪🏼😊💞
how kind, thank you
Literally so proud of you, you have inspired me to finally recover from my ED💖
you got this ✨🥺
the way your parents talk to you about food and the advice they give when you get anxious honestly helps me so much :) absolute legends
I love your recovery videos because not only do they make me feel like I deserve to eat and not feel guilty but they also make me want to try new things! There’s so many amazing foods out there that we shouldn’t be afraid of!!
Hi! I rediscovered your channel at the perfect moment! I had a little hiccup in my recovery but seeing your content is helping me very much. Also, I had never heard anyone else talked about the “toilet rule” so I didn’t even relies I was doing that from a disordered place but, now that you mentioned it, I’ve realized I also need to challenge that. Thank you so much!!!
Your dad has the same voice as one of the qualified nurses i had at stafford ward, was the most supportive guy ever and so is your dad!
You're definitely allowed to cry and it's not embarrassing. It's a mode of self expression :) everyone loves seeing the real you. Thank you for being so vulnerable. ❤️❤️❤️
thank you 🤎✨🤎
Look at you being silly and joking around WHILE challenging yourself! Look how strong and free you've become!
🥺🤎
It’s okay to be frustrated, it’s okay to cry, and it’s okay if you have moments of not being positive. You are recovering.
You are being real about recovery and how hard it is. That’s what people need to see.
You are strong, you are beautiful, and you have so many cheering you on and supporting you.
I’m so proud of everything you have accomplished and for sharing your experiences with the world.
P.S. I think your parents are amazing too.
Sending lots of love to you!
U r an Inspiration, thank you ro for helping so many Teens recover
Ly
every time you try something new, the excitement of 'now I can eat this thing and make all of these memories with friends and family and this food' makes me so happy for you, you are doing SO well
you have a great personality and vibe and have so much to share with the world. this is wonderful to watch 💖
Love to see you that happy. I remember in former videos you were struggling before every meal and now you eat and comment how delicious everything is and that it tastes fruity and stuff. It just seems like you are able to really enjoy food again and I love that for you 😍😍😍
Thank you for sharing you help a lot of people 💕💕
