    Watching the pudding portion and I think the concept of “deserving” food was really interesting.

      Strangely, ive told mutiple people this but i thought the foods i eat now what would cause me to become fat overnight a few years ago.. i was heavily bullied because i ate so much. But turned the other direction and stopped eating the foods that makes me happy. The enjoyment of having coffee, and coconut icecream on a hot day instead of just water and gum. It feels.. absolutely amazing. Allowing yourself to be unapologetic about what you need to stay alive. It feels incredible especially during quaratined. I learned alot, and i still suffery mind is so mean. But like those kids who bullied me. I came to terms i dont want to die.. i want to live, and have a stable relationship with food and my body as a growing person. I wish the best for you, even through this pandemic ✨🥺

    I’ve never seen any other videos from you, this one popped up on my home page. I really admire how vulnerable you are and how you acknowledge the unhelpful thoughts of guilt etc and then verbalise the rational thoughts and give yourself credit. I have a past of disordered eating but because I’ve always been overweight the fact I starved myself throughout high school didn’t ring alarm bells (eating disorders are a mental health issue not a physical issue). At 30 I’m now actively working on ignoring diet culture and it’s honestly great to see younger people stand up for themselves and work on healthier relationships with themselves and food/exercise etc.
    one thing I noticed was your parents though. Clearly they are going to be older than me, possibly the generation above mine. But they sound so supportive and it’s clear they love you. I really admire that you can talk so freely with them around about your recovery and they speak so soothingly with you. It’s all just beautiful.
    And you’re right, if you work in it all now, every day you will get a little bit stronger, and hopefully it’ll all be a distant memory for you.

    i’ve never had anorexia but i did struggle with disordered eating and orthorexia during my teenage years and in the past few months i’ve found myself slipping back into old, unhealthy habits. it’s been difficult to process and has made me feel very disappointed, weak, hopeless and it seems to be all i think about. videos like these remind me that i’m so far from being alone and truly inspire me to try to overcome this demon once and for all. thank you, ro. your strength is appreciated 💞

    "They would have like a health warning" in my country (Mexico) they have started to put warnings on almost EVERY FOOD, they all say "high calorie" and "high fat" and "high sugar" and stuff like that, and as someone with an ED it's really hard to buy anything to eat anymore, the thing can have like 50 calories and it will say it's high calorie content, I know that those things aren't bad for me but when even vegetables and fruit have them I just don't want to buy anything :(((

It makes me so miserable, it really does.

      "Everything in moderation" is actually diet culture tactics too. It makes you think twice about every craving/signal from your body and to "make smart healthy choices" and even question it. There is truly no limit in what you can eat so please do not try to promote light orthorexia.

      @@Lucy116 you should check Tabitha Ferrar videos on yt and Hanrecovered on insta. In order to recover from restrictive eating disorder to and get to the point of food freedom and intuitive eating, eating without any guilt, judgement, rules etc you have understand and mentally accept that you have unconditional permission to eat anything, any time and in any amount. It's not about truly eating 10 bags of crisps every day, followed by 300 cookies it's about accepting that there is no limit and eating freely without any set limits because only then your mind can be free and you can be in sync with your body which will never let you down.

    i struggled with anorexia for a handful of years in my teens. i also have ocd which kinda compounds everything. what’s helped me a lot is turning my restrictive rules into positive rules. like, i hate wasting food, so i have to eat everything on my plate. it’s a shame to throw food in the trash. and i really believe food is one of the few true pleasures of life and every person should enjoy every meal they eat. i’m still a bit obsessive about my health, but now i know what good health means and i never allow myself to restrict or fast anymore because i think of the long term damage i’d be doing. just some corrective thinking i’ve found that helps me personally and may help anyone else struggling~♡

    I am 22 and I developed anorexia back in 2013 ; I am partially recovered. I maintain at a slightly « too low » weight and eat at maintenance yet I have so many fear foods (cookies, pizzas, burgers, bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, meat, butter, oil, beans, bananas, spreads , nuts, salty snacks, sauces, fries, crisps, sugary drinks, CEREALS... and the list goes on and on) and your video made me realize it.
    I sometimes eat some of these but the feeling of guilt is so overwhelming I rarely allow myself to have these foods.
    I still count calories excessively and weigh everything I eat/drink, even water... I still exercise compulsively.
    I am honestly so proud of you and how motivated you are to recover. I genuinely could not eat some of the foods you so courageously have. In each video, you seem to do better, you’re glowing. Your willingness and determination are amazing.
    Also you are so lucky to have such supportive parents that take the time to understand and to encourage you !

You would never deny your body of sleep so why would you deny your body of something equally as important?".
