i cant imagine how proud your parents must be just sitting next to you and hearing you talking and motivating yourself
It is really beautiful to watch.
not sure if anyone gives a damn but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times then you can watch all of the latest series on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my girlfriend recently =)
@Marc Vincenzo Yup, I've been watching on InstaFlixxer for since december myself =)

my mom and i watch your videos when its time for me to eat. not only does it help me recover and eat without thinking too much, it helps her better understand my disorder. thankyou
this is so lovely, I'm so glad I can help =)
That's wonderful :) good luck on your recovery, you got this!
You’re just as strong!
Same!! My mom and I always watch them after dinner for dessert cause is the most difficult part of the day for me
Sounds like you both have wonderful mums. I sincerely hope your doing well.
“You would not tell somebody else that they didn’t deserve food, so you have no right to say it to yourself” 🥺
That's everything
I think everyone here can agree that they cannot put into words how much Ro inspires us all ❤️
Yes and how much she has helped so many❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@EnyaKellermann oh hi enya haha
Agreed
I just want to say. I am truly beyond proud of you! We are the same age, I’ve been through anorexia, I have come out the other side and I do just know that you ARE going to beat this Ro. You are one of the only ‘recovery’ youtubers I watch because you are just so genuine, you show the ups, the downs, you show how tough living with an eating disorder is but you are really beating this awful illness. You are showing that anyone struggling can and will do this, you are a huge inspiration to so many. Keep going Ro, you are such a beautiful person and deserve so many good things in life💞
this means so so much to me, I can't thank you enough xxxx
@@RoMitchell you’ve got this girl💜💜💜
we are all rooting for you !
Your dad “you don’t need to feel guilty about getting your life back” truth!
She’s so precious guys let’s promise to be nice and not scare her off TH-cam
Definitely especially after little Molly Jones!!
@@harmonyhope1709 hmm?
@@dianalove539 a girl who was doing a similar channel and people's comments really got to her so she quit and deleted all her recovery videos. She was adorable like Ro, so sweet and her videos were so helpful. Such a shame 😢
@@harmonyhope1709 molly is back to youtube now! :))
can we talk about the personality and humour gains tho ?! girl u are glowing! u seem like such a fun person to be around x
Always lovely to see a persons true personality shining through instead of just being able to see the Ed persona.... As anorexia is pushed out, the true person can come in and sense of humour, interests, personality traits, different thoughts and feelings all come back and its lovely to see ❤️
I don't have any history with disordered eating, so I really appreciate this glimpse into what recovery is like. It helps me understand and empathize. I am so sorry that many people feel the need to comment on your body. Especially when they obviously know you are in recovery. Honestly, you are looking much better already, but that has nothing to do with your body or appearance, but with your confidence and joy. Seeing you get excited for food, even when it also terrifies you, is so beautiful. It is clear that you have become mentally stronger, even though it is still very difficult for you. You have come so far already, thank you for taking us along for your journey.
I know that one day we’ll be all here because your channel will be just you happily vlogging and enjoying life and we’re here for you 🤍
this makes me SO happy ahhhh thank you
It happened and it gives me so much hope for myself too 🥹
I burst into tears when you said a Kit Kat isn’t a big enough snack. Yes girl.
Your parents are angels. I love how your father speaks to you. They encourage you vs forcing. I respect that so much
People are so stupid re: gaining weight. Just because they can’t see it they think it doesn’t exist? So ridiculous. You’re doing so well, Ro. Ignore the background noise! ✨
Also, she probably gained a good amount of weight that didn't show up visually cause of her organs repairing and her body starting to adjust to the changes and everything
It's important to mention that it's probably mosty still just water retention which is the first weight you gain in recovery from restrictive eating disorder.
@@MsKatieBo yup! I gained quite a big amount in the first week of refeeding. I was like "Dad you and mum are serving me too much!" and my Dad reassured me that he knew that was going to happen and that he was not going to cut the amount he was giving me. It continued on withe me eating whatever my parents served me and in whatever quantity and my Dad just told me to trust the process. The weight gain slows down and even at some point you have to INCREASE (increases are VERY normal. And essential) in order to keep making progress. What used to seem like a snack, is no longer even close to enough! Basically, you should not be eating the same way you did at the beginning of recovery, once you are in the middle or the end. And very important to NOT restrict once you reach the "end" (which isn't like a day or something lol. I used to think that. No day when you just say "I`m recovered". It's more of a state of being and mind. It happens over time without you knowing really. But your team and those around you can notice the changes.) When I reached my healthy weight years ago the first time around, my dietitian did nothing to my meal plan. I was expecting a big drop in the amount I was eating. But that's not realistic. Chances are, what you eat at that point is what your body will most likely feel good on. And I even had more snacks here and there (not just the set 3) and before my ed I am sure I ate more than my highest meal plan! So goes to show the ed is just lies and meal plan amounts or recovery amounts are not "crazy large" or "abnormal". Anyways, sorry this was so long. Your point is very important! :)
@@eb9436 this is so helpful for people to know and also my experience of refeeding too.... Glad to hear you're feeling so much better about things these days and went through and stuck with the process, good for you xx
@@harmonyhope1709 I am not out of this yet haha, but working at it. It's been a long battle (as it is said to be. 7 years is the average time it takes to reach FULL recovery and be completely free. Of course for some it might take longer). Things have been tough recently but I am trying to look forward. Thank you for your kind words. :)
The pain and guilt you might feel while eating is weakness leaving your body. And the more weakness is leaving, the stronger you get🌼
I wrote this, for you
Anxiety, pain and fear
Are the worlds gifts that reflect in a tear
But why a “gift“ if it hurts in our hearts ?
Those are the gifts that we need to change
We turn it into a piece of art
At first sight this might seem strange
But challenging ourselves everyday
Turning the fear into strenght
Is way better than running away
Instead we seek the strength that brings the change
Once we decided for the strength, we gain
We gain love and loose the chains that held us back
We build the life that we lost in our tears
Trying to sustain the gain
Acceptance is the key
Accepting to be vulnerable
Accepting to be free
Beautiful
dude that is so beautiful
@@michelle-zg8ur thank you :)
wow, you are so talented 🥺💘💕💞 thank you
I don’t know if this is appropriate to comment but I work at sainsburys and I was working on Saturday on the cereal aisle where I saw this girl who was looking at all the products. I could tell she was underweight, maybe even suffering with anorexia- I will never know. She looked for a long time and left with nothing. I’ve had a lot of people on my TikTok fyp and ofc I’ve subscribed to Ro to cheer you on! All I wanted to do is give the girl a hug and tell her it’ll all work out in the end and she is perfect just the way she is, she deserves a healthy lifestyle and she deserves to take care of her body. I wish I told her about this channel. It hurts to see girls (AND BOYS!!) thinking they don’t deserve a healthy life or to take care of their body. Anyway, I don’t know why I posted this comment but it’s been on my mind and it’s been eating me up that people are hurting 😖
please don't walk up to a stranger and randomly suggest an ana recovery channel unless you know and love the person
if some random person did that to me it would be detrimental to my "recovery"
i love this girl. her videos always make me push me a little bit more always. like i wanted to have a snack but i was freaking out about it but now here i am eating a pastry muffin with nutella because i remember i just loved them so much and that’s right! it is sooo nice and flavour
you’re doing the EXACT right thing. proud of you xxxx
That sounds so good 😦
I can see how much better your mindset has gotten. You eat more freely and yes, you still feel guilt but at the same time you understand that you need to eat. You're doing so well! Good luck on the rest of the journey.
Well aren't we blessed to have you in this world. You gem
love you beautiful
let me just tell you that moment where you just went up to the fridge and ate a sausage because you were craving it... I als Mist SCREAMED!!! I am so happy for you because I see how far you’ve come .... let me just tell you I am so proud of you and I know you’ll do amazing!!!🥰
"you need to keep going young lady"
You're so sweet! Your mental growth can be noticed - you're not degrading yourself as much as you used to when you step out of your comfort zone, I think? Lovely! Keep fighting, you are such a brave human. Don't get discouraged if you lose a fight, the war still awaits. Do this for the little Ro and for the grown one too. Food is not the enemy, the thoughts around it are.
I have weigh day for the first time since I got out of hospital tomorrow and I'm STRESSED but you always calm me down
you are not your weight or any number, you are sooo much more. keep that in mind
good luck angel❤️
you’ll be absolutely fine💗🌸
@@irinaschneider7382 right? and what even *is* the right weight? it kind of doesn't exist because everyone is different. + also it is only a number, which does not show you how much of muscles do you have, how much of fat do you have, how much of water is in your body, how much of stress, anxiety and important nutritions you have.. the number does not show, how much your head and brain weigh, how heavy and stable are your bones, how much your organs which literally *keep you alive* weigh. you cannot let some number control your life ♥ ♥ ♥
@@forestchild487 well said.. ❤
I am currently recovering from anorexia and I can’t thank you enough for how much you’ve helped me. You’ve helped me to rationalise and normalise things that seem so scary. Thank you for showing the reality of an eating disorder and not only showing the positives steps to recovery but also the downsides because this is what helps us to keep improving and growing. You’re such an inspiration. ❤️
Good luck to you
I’m so sorry that people are being idiots and making your recovery harder than it already is.
I’m loving your content - it’s inspiring and you’re so brave to keep putting yourself out there. ❤️
I was never diagnosed with eating disorder, but when I was 12-13 I wasn’t eating much, I had so many rules about food and I would hide food so my parents wouldn’t know if I ate and how much. It all ended when I was taken to hospital, on the edge of life and death and had a doctor tell me “you’ll start eating and put on some weight or you’ll be back here and we’ll feed you through tubes and needles.” I put on 15kg in less than a year, it was a hell but I’m happy it’s over. It’s been more than 10 years, I still fight some of the food rules but I can say I’ve learnt to enjoy food
I wish Euginea Cooney would face recovery like you ❤️ you're so strong and keep going. I'm cheering you on Ro ✨
You sound so wholesome when you say “that’s actually really nice” It makes me warm❤️
Love it too ! Tied with the English accent . Cozy vibes.
At 0:50 her blush looks like a little heart and I think that fits ro perfectly 💕
I thought that, too!
It's so amazing to see how brighter, happier and stronger you are since your first videos. In every video you are more energetic and funny. You are singing! And you have an amazing voice! It's a pleasure to see you start to enjoy life again.
i'm still rewatching these as i recover, your parents (especially your dads comments around 15min) are the best therapy compared to everything i have had.
Please, Do a Q&A with mom and dad! We'd love that! Luv ya 💜
You’re meant to be mystery parents guys you don’t want to expose yourself haha 😂 so funny

it’s so nice to see how far you have come, i am so proud of you ❤️❤️
Your energy is magnetic.
Your humor is my favorite thing ever
I don’t know you and I don’t personally suffer from an ED, but I watch all of your videos and I just want you to know how proud I am of you. A stranger all the way from South Africa, but I am so proud of you ❤️ keep going xxx
I’m so happy for you Ro! Thank you for not only being so inspiring, but so real!! ❤️
ive watched many recovery channels but i never have been able to relate to someone that much, ty, you make me want to get better
I just love hearing your parents encouraging you
Girl, you are literally glowing and we can see it more and more! ♥️
It’s so nice to see how supportive your parents are, I’m so proud of you! 💕
I love that you're being so honest and true to yourself. 💜
I love how you inspire us to be more kind to ourselves. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
i've never felt so proud of a person i haven't even met, you are such an inspiration
Also we are so proud of you! Thankyou for everything you do, you have helped so many people I hope you realise how amazing you are x
uhhh I'm always so excited for ur videos. It really keeps me motivated in my own recovery :)
Girl you made me cry, I’m so proud!
I'm so proud of you Ro watching you on tik tok for months and since your first youtube video, your doing amazing you can do this!!
to everyone, weight gain is not always noticable. she is slim, however we dont know how slim, and 10-20 pounds could go to repairing organs! Even then, after that, it might not be noticable! We cannot say shes not gaining weight, because we dont know, and we have to take her word for it. She is commited to recovery. Lets trust her on this!!
This is propably the best video of yours so far! Keep going, you got it gal!♥
I swear with each video she gets brighter and happier 😭🤎 so proud of her recovery so far
you seem so much happier and i can definitely see your relationship with food changing xxxx
Very motivational and inspirational,ro is making people to love their bodies no matter what
You are such an inspiration and positive light. Thank you for the honesty and support.
Can't wait to follow your whole journey with you. To recovery and beyond 😍❤️ I'm so invested in your recovery sweetie xx
these nice encouraging words from you and your parents just make my heart melt everytime
Go girl, everyday you get closer to take your life back! ✨🌱
Ro you have been helping me so much with my mental struggles. You are such a great person
I love hearing how your mum talks to you, reminds me of how my mum was when i was in recovery and how important it is to have people motivating you. so cute

your mom is the cutest
Your videos make getting in all of my meals while living alone so much easier ❤️ Thankyou Ro, keep going!
Sometimes when im struggling mentally i just watch your videos and most of it its gone, the words of encouragement are like huge motivation shouts, thanks
this video just brightened my day!! (i just had a fear food!!). you help me so much thru my recovery journey!!! thank u ro💖💖
I struggle in weigh days as well and seeing how calm you are afterwards and accepted the fact that the number needs to change is making me less anxious for my next weigh in day. Thank you so much for being such a big help for me this week.❤️❤️
I'm beyond excited to see you present your post-anorexia life and inspire people in a different but just as valuable way❤️ ur videos help me so so much already and I hope that by the time you have recovered I'll be able to celebrate a healthy relationship with food with you xoxo
loved the style of this video! you are truly amazing. xoxo
This helped me with my food guilt. I wanted a burger and I ate it. Its been a long time. Thx Ro you're such an inspiration!
I love that she motivates herself. She is a beautiful young woman. You can do anything Ro!!!!
Thankyou so much I really needed this, I just went for a picnic with my friends and I had some cake and I got scared but watching this makes me remember that food is fuel, food is amazing and nobody should ever feel bad for eating ! ❤️
THE BUNNY IN THE BACKGRUND OF THE PICNIC
it's amazing to see you recognise how hard it is and still challenge yourself because you have such a strong confidence that it will get better. super inspiring!
i dont know what it is, but something about Ro is so inspiring and magical
Hearing your parents encourage you makes me tear up. It’s so amazing. I know a lot of people would give a lot for parents so supportive and understanding of their illness ❤️
You are SO inspirational and real. Loving your content and feeling thankful that you share it with us! ❤️
