Thanks for making a video on this. I used to follow lots of "health/wellness" FB groups and undiagnosed ED's were rampant. I didn't even realize that I had AN and HA for the longest time because of these groups and how pervasive the thinness, under-fueling, and over-exercising is in these groups.
Wow ya, it can be hard to detect when everyone is making intermittent fasting and hit workouts the norm. Glad you finally saw it so that you can focus on building up your health!
It is unfortunate how most people assume that an eating disorder comes in only one 'brand,' so to speak: That severely underweight look you just spoke of, the pale, sickly girl hiding herself under heavy, oversized dark clothing in the middle of summer. People don't realise that ED's come in many different forms, across all age groups and ethnicities, and among both males and females. Not all of them stem from body image issues, either -- which is not to dismiss the fact that an astoundingly high percentage of people suffer with negative body image and self-esteem. That is completely real, and hard (I go through it too, so I understand). It's just to give equal consideration to those who are struggling for other reasons.
Yes many different origins. A ton of ed's are caused by traumas-big or small. And honestly most ed's are experienced in people who are at a normal weight. Being underweight is only a small subset of the population suffering from an ed.
Your training ground was personal experience that gained you access to experiential knowing which applies to absolutely all aspects of life and beyond you are qualified in all fields don’t be intimidated by how big things get you’re the real deal 😊. Congrats Sis
I'm still on my healing journey especially since my eating disorder caused osteoporosis it's been a year later now since being diagnosed But I would say I think my diet is better now eating nutrient dense foods not just carbs not just keeping calories low , before the only thing I cared about was eating a certain amount of calories but I didn't pay much attention to what type of calories except for low protein low fat everything else carb , after being diagnosed I've gained a healthy amount of weight but I've also gain more weight then what I wanted and I start to feel so uncomfortable not just emotionally but physically too , I will say yes I do care about my body and my aesthetics as much as my health I think it's something that all men and women want we want to be healthy but we also want to be in a body we feel good in But we have to find a way to do it healthy where we're not restricting and we're not afraid of healthy foods because the orthorexia is so miserable too!! I will admit and be honest that I am right now currently losing the extra body fat I've gained but I'm definitely not restricting my calories solo to the point where I'm not getting enough nutrition for all my organs and keeping my protein and healthy fats up while still enjoying healthy carbs I'm not doing any cardio only natural walking when I run errands and doing strength training to build my muscles and bones and when I'm menstruating I will feed my menstration with more nutrient-dense foods, losing weight the right way slow and steady while still nursing my body is something that I need to experience I need this redemption I need to make it up to my nineteen-year-old self who lost weight way too quickly too rapidly on a horrible 500 calorie diet I didn't know any better back then but I know better now But definitely Chloe it's not just about body ,, weight or what we look like on the outside it's also about the inside too my healing journey of healing my physical body is also healing my inner body my mind my heart too 🙏🏻 I think you're taking your channel to a very much-needed direction because just like I was a lost girl when I was 19 I remained a lost girl threw out my adult life , I'm 40 now but I'm still Looking for the best healthiest version of me There are so many young women older women with the same struggles and maybe they don't have support who need someone like you a sister they never had full of wisdom and knowledge to help us navigate learn grow and heal in these journeys of ours ❤❤❤❤❤
Good job doing this slowly and in a healthy way! Finding that balance with your nutrition and fitness. And you are spot on about the healing of the inner body, mind, and heart. I focus often MORE on that than on anything else as those things often play a big role in the physical ailments. Thank you for sharing your story and commenting!
@@flowwithchlo ❤️❤️❤️ you're welcome thank you for everything you do 😊🌷 A lot of eating disorders happen because we're hurt damaged and broken on the inside but as we heal the outside the inside must heal too but we can't do it alone so I'm so thankful for your channel for all the help and support ❤️🙏🏻❤️
You sound like me …by chance were you following a dr Mcdougall chef Aj diet? I’m feeling like I’m brainwashed and listening to Chloe is helping me figure out if I need to stop hclf thinking -their science has hit a hold on me
It’s bc everyone we are around seems to be talking about loosing weight or trying a new diet or working out with the purpose of trying to change their body Restricting carbs or vegan or hclf or fasting It’s a common conversation in female social circles
It wasn’t a gyno, but an endocrinologist who told me about amenorrhea and that first and foremost it was the path down recovery that could fix irregular periods. A beacon of hope. She was great.
Ahhh good! Yes there are some great professionals out there who are knowledgeable and will help tons! We need more gynos who understand amenorrhea as well instead of just giving the pill to "regulate" someones cycles.
Hon. This may be a new idea to you, but EDs and those living with them have always come in all ‘colors and fashions’… consider yourself lucky that you aren’t so depressed // hate your body daily to the extent that all you can handle is blankets and giant hoodies… that too will fluctuate. Sometimes you’re up sometimes you’re down … “trendy” “”hEaLThy”” folx have always struggled with EDs. This is not new.
It's not a new idea to me, I've obviously known this since day one but was finally speaking out against it to make it known to you guys. A lot of people still see "healthy" fitness and lifestyle accounts online and think "ya they are the picture of health". But as you and I know, that is not always the case. And yes, people of all different sizes, shapes, genders, and ethnicities have eating disorders.

Girl YES you have so, so, so, so much to offer! Right direction ❤
Thank you! I can forget that at times
Your training ground was personal experience that gained you access to experiential knowing which applies to absolutely all aspects of life and beyond you are qualified in all fields don’t be intimidated by how big things get you’re the real deal 😊. Congrats Sis
Thank you so so much for those words, so important!

But definitely Chloe it's not just about body ,, weight or what we look like on the outside it's also about the inside too my healing journey of healing my physical body is also healing my inner body my mind my heart too 🙏🏻
I think you're taking your channel to a very much-needed direction because just like I was a lost girl when I was 19 I remained a lost girl threw out my adult life , I'm 40 now but I'm still
Looking for the best healthiest version of me
There are so many young women older women with the same struggles and maybe they don't have support who need someone like you a sister they never had full of wisdom and knowledge to help us navigate learn grow and heal in these journeys of ours ❤❤❤❤❤
