I'll say I do feel skeptical about most people who have had an eating disorder, particularly anorexia or orthorexia, that start going to the gym and posting 'fit' pics of their 'progress. I have felt a little skeptical about yours too and said so before. I do think you're right though, I do not know anything but what you post on social media, and I do sincerely hope that your working out will not become an obsession. It just looks a bit odd with the 'fit' and 'muscly' pics, because of the fact that body focus is easily a slippery slope after an ED. That's what has made me suss about it. This video is very reassuring however. And I do love your videos!
I understand and thank you for your honest and kind feedback. I truly appreciate it. I agree it is a slippery slope and I have to continue to check myself and make sure I am not slipping;) I hope with my future videos to continue to show you and others that a healthy relationship with food and exercise is very possible;)
Thank you for this video 💕 it’s truly amazing to be on the other side of recovery! To be in the place where you don’t even remember what you ate yesterday because it doesn’t matter anymore 💕
First of all. I love your pajamas! Second, I think it would be really cool if you did a video about your faith and how that got you through those tough times. I find it so encouraging!😁
Hellooooooo. Nice that you’re talking about this. Love it! I’m following you since september 2017. You started your recovery on camera back then. I experienced so much support from your video’s. Something bad happened to me though without any influence from your video’s. For me it’s very easy to gain weight. I gained too much weight and had to lose the extra weight again which i found so scary. My family and friends were also so scared that i would fall back into my eating disorder. At that time, i fell in love with tennis. I lost the extra weight and now i started running again and it saved me actually. Exercise is so important for a healthy human being without an eating disorder. I feel healthy again and ifeel so much better in my skin. So i totally understand that you love exercise after an eating disorder. You have my absolute support Stephanie. So happy that you’re in a happy place. All my love to you from The Netherlands! 😘
I would also recommend to anyone (eating disorder or not”) to invest in a pet... the unconditional love is amazing... I have 2 furry therapists that don’t care at all what I look like... and I can’t tell you how good that feels... ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!! I feel like I've seen a lot of posts saying that exercising is relapsing and since I do exercise it made me feel like I was relapsing when I was eating enough to support it and I'm in a MUCH better headspace and honestly enjoy it so this helped me a lot thank you
YES let’s talk about it! It needs to be talked about! You can’t live in a bubble or use your past as an excuse. When you are TRULY, TRULY mentally happy and healthy, physically you will thrive as well!!!!❤️ merry Christmas, loving the sweater 🎄
I am so proud of you! Keep up being amazing :) I noticed something about myself and maybe about other people with eating disorders. I was never overweight or even in the heavier normal category. I was pretty healthy. So I never "had to lose weight" for health reasons (I know noone has to, it's just the midset most people have if someone is overweight). And when I developed my ed, I was never ever under the illusion that it was healthy in the slightest. So I always associate weight loss with being disordered. And I genuenly cannot comprehend how someone can have a healthy way or mindset of "modifying their body" for health or asthetics. I just can't. So there is a LOT of projection going on whenever I see someone losing weight or exercising or something like that. I hope it got clear what I mean :D
I do understand what you mean. I think it just shows that everyone is different and have different “triggers” or different ways they are affected by things... and that is totally valid!! Thank you for sharing!:)
Thank you for this informative video! It's awful that other sick people feel so bad about themselves that they feel the need to judge you too. It is so amazing how far you've come and I dream of the day I can finally commit to recovery and get to a healthy place. Also, I love your Christmas sweater!
There are many people in this community who like to take out their insecurities onto others..it's not only misdirected and uneducated, but also lame. You do what you feel is appropriate for your own life. And other people should do the same.
I loved this. I find it very upsetting that people would subject people who have suffered with an eating disorder to a life without exercise. Exercise can be enjoyable, social, and healthy. In fact if you are anything like me your eating disorder was a form of self punishment....stopping myself from exercising after weight restoration and recovery, when it is an activity I have always loved an enjoyed as a part of a healthy happy life would just be further punishment and restriction. Of course I understand that everyone suffers in a different way, for a different reason, hence Stephanie being totally right in saying consult a doctor and do what is right for you. The concept that exercise is purely for weight loss/calorie burning reasons in itself is kinda disordered....Pre anorexia it had not once crossed my mind that the social dance classes I had enjoyed from the minute I could walk were for the purposes of weight management.
I found exercise very helpful because it makes me feel good... depression is a major aspect of my Ed... at one unhealthy point I was hiding it... which made me feel guilty... so working with my doctors and family I was able to exercise in a healthy way. Using exercise as a punishment for eating isn’t healthy and as a person who has had eating issues I have to be mindful of my reason to exercise.. but feeling guilty for exercising is also not healthy... the first step is to be honest with yourself and the people that care abt you... make sure you are healthy enough physically and mentally and don’t force it... maybe you loved yo dance or run before you had issues but now hiking or yoga bring you more happiness... try new things and don’t focus on calories... I also try to remember that exercise is part of life and should not be your entire life...
Exercise, strength training sounds better, is a healthy path. I believe when one can put some focus there rather then the ED is ideal. Its something you can control and provides an opportunity to place your thoughts and goals other than ED when you leave that path. This theory works for sufferers of many aspects of life. War, abuse, physical alignments ect ect "exercise" "gym", *strengthening the body rather then killing the body, can allow people to emphasize something new. To less focus on the hardships, the pain, to recover ... 👏🙏
hey girl, I agreed with everything you said about getting back to a normal life. A life without an eating disorder which does involve movement, freedom and doing what ever the hell makes you happy and healthy! Regarding exercise in recovery when trying to weight restore, did you do any walking? or did you stop walking as well and just rest, sit and eat haha?
I didn’t walk to exercise... but I didn’t hard core avoid walking if that makes sense.... like if my family was going for a walk, I might go with them, or if we were walking around the mall I would walk.... but other than that just sat and ate 😂
I think it’s far more about the identification with a body than the amount of workout or the BMI. I feel like healthy people define themselves through the person they are and not the looks. I continued working out and it reduced naturally when I stopped seeing my body as some sort of achievement tool
HOw hard was it to not workout while you were in early stages or in eating disorder recovery? Just curious. What affects did it have on your mentally and or physically. PM me if needed. Would love to know
You don’t have to gain weight in recovery. You have to gain body fat. People who fixate on exercise and lifting during recovery tend to be okay with gaining weight so long as it’s muscle and not fat.
If you gain fat... you gain weight... But yes I agree with you, that’s why I think it’s good to gain weight and be at a healthy weight BEFORE you start working out. At least that was my experience.
I like this one ☝1⃣😁👌❤ totally agree with every word. I, personally did go back to swimming and horse riding... no matter my past. It just seems like your words don't match your actions in the rest of the videos you post. Well, it's just my opinion... Yes, I binge watched a few of your recent vlogs.
What actions? This video is about exercise after recovery which I have not shown in my vlogs to be considerate of my viewers... so there are no “actions” that I am not matching up with because I intentionally don’t show these actions 😂 I think you are coming from a good place, but you don’t know me well enough to make these kind of assumptions and judgments… You are reading too much into these videos which are mostly meant to be fun and lighthearted.
@@StephanieMarie95 ok, i see your point. Nah, the actions weren't related to exercise. That's good You're doing fine 😉 it's your life after all 🤷♀️☺ I might actually simply not know You enough.

Hello so I have been in an eating disorder recovery for 1 month and it's going absolutely fine! But I have a question u know eating disorder recovery requires eating everything and I have been eating a lot of unhealthy food daily and the thing is that I have eczema and I want to eat healthy so I can be much more healthier not for my weight at all so is it ok in the recovery? Hope u answer soon!
I think you need to do what is best for your overall health. And that might mean having to cut out certain foods that are causing skin issues- That has nothing to do with your eating disorder! You can totally still eat enough food when only eating “healthier” foods! And your skin will probably thank you for it! Just make sure it does not turn into restrictions and that you are eating enough calories! Get some good nutrient dense foods;)
i have an apple watch too and sue it for the exact reasons u just said, like literally for convenience not for exercise tracking cause its probs not that accurate for that anyway

loved this steph, soo happy u were able to just talk about it but remember ur ED is ur past and u r your future and do content that makes u feel happy
Amen! I couldnt agree more! People constantly say that recovery is for life, that you cannot heal your relationship with food and exercise completly!
False!! We recover and we move ON!
