    i totally agree with you when you say anorexia is the more ‘favourable’ eating disorder. It’s the same with orthorexia, any ed that results in you looking or behaving like the societal beauty or aesthetic standards is often deemed as ‘okay’.
    It’s also really clear when someone is in contact with an anorexia sufferer, they typically will feel sympathetic, and want them to get better and heal, even though they may not understand. However if that was replaced with binge eating disorder, people often turn their nose up and say somethings along the lines of, ‘it’s you’re fault, you’re the one who just kept eating.’ It’s seen as a gross thing.
    when in reality, ALL eds are an awful thing to develop, and EVERYONE suffering with one, or any mental issues for that matter, deserves all the help they can get. You are valid, you are worthy 🤍🐇

      Facts, I’m skinny and I have body dysmorphia about being skinny so I tend to binge eat a ton of food then feel guilty that I haven’t gained anything
      People always tell me “you’re blessed” “you should be grateful” “boohoo cry about it you’re the standard” or some stupid stuff like that. What I have is a disease and I shouldn’t be grateful for having it
      So I agree that when it comes to anorexia is glorified, but when it’s about a bigger person/ plus sized person they are put down for it being their fault, sick world we live in

    I love your honesty. It’s helped me throughout my own anorexia recovery. I especially love the part about calorie counting. My brain still does the same thing… focusing on the calories. Now that I’m weight restored I need to remind myself that calories (and calorie dense foods) literally saved my life. Calories saved my heart, kidneys, liver, brain, and other organs that were failing. I hope this message reaches someone but malnourishment is real and my anorexic brain almost killed me and recovery is a long-term battle even after the weight gain.
    Recovery is not easy. Holding yourself accountable to recovery is hard. But it’s a healing process and there’s light at the end of the tunnel.

    I am struggling a lot. I am in quasi recovery/the middle stage of recovery, and I swear to god it's the hardest part so far. I am finally feeling things again, and struggling to accept the weight gain. But I also know that at the end of the day, I have a lot of big plans for myself, and anorexia only keeps my world small and those things aren't possible. So I keep pushing, and I tell myself that people who love me will always love me for me. Regardless how I look. Your channel has been hugely inspirational for me and clearly many others. Seeing how far you've come, and how you still struggle some days, but are able to push through, is really encouraging.

    What I learned in recovery is that the voice which hurts your feelings is the one you should teach yourself to love and care, and by human law it is illegal to hurt humans and all living entities meaning if you hurt yourself you hurt humans. Love is respect is what we must learn in hard times such as anorexia recovery or other hard psychological dilemmas. I really am thankful and great full for Ro Mitchell and her videos that inspire many and inspire her to grow healthier! 💕

    I love how you referenced it as "taking my life back" its so hard for me with recovery and choosing life because even when I got into the depths of restruction people always told me stuff about what I ate and made comments and its like why does it matter? Like sometimes I wish I never was vulnerable and never tried to reach out to people, I think the biggest thing Im afraid of is people saying "oH iM sO gLad yOu aRe eAting sOmetHing rEal" like people (atleast from what I experienced) say things thinking it is positive but its like..please just dont say anything at all :(. But yeah..I fee like I was meant to find this video...deleted all my body checks, all my step counters, all my calculation apps lmao, and yeah..I made the decision to eat today, and I guess Im just sick of having no energy and being held down, I want my mind back..

    Life without ED is another amazing book!! It’s structured for people with eating disorders in small portions so that you can focus, and there is nothing triggering in it! Completely focused on recovery and even has humour which I found extremely helpful to lighten it but also make you feel not alone :) Thank you for this video Ro you’re truly amazing and we’re all rooting for you ❤️

    I just want to say that even of you didnt suffer for such a long time but youre still taking quite a while to recover, its ok. Recovery is individual and unique for everyone. Also, recovery is a life long process. You have to keep making the right choices, like somebody that hasnt suffered from an ed and that has a good relationship with themselves makes the right choices for them, even if the voices in our head sometimes tell us to do the opposite. Im not saying youll battle your ed forever, but, sadly, pretty much everyone i know will have bad days regarding body image and food. We dont have to let those days /moments overrule The progress weve made

Just because he's severely over weight, I don't understand why he's not entitled to any treatment whatsoever. It's still an obsession that's inhibiting his life, the same as anorexia was for me!?

    I ate a Lemon Noosa yogurt with you. I had a brief moment of considering restricting and not eating it - because I didn’t feel super hungry just a little hungry. And I worry about my husband making a comment about it - which he doesn’t mean in a mean way - but he knows that I struggle with my body image and he sometimes wants to comment on what I should eat. I have explained to him that food freedom and recovering from BED is far more important to me than unstable weight loss which never lasts. He kind of gets it but he’s grown up in diet culture too and he does sort of go “calories in calories out” kind of thing. It’s hard for him to fully understand. I’ve asked him not to comment on what I eat and mostly he respects that but sometimes he slips up and I worry about his comments. But I’ve learned that that is his own diet culture programming that he needs to work on. He isn’t trying to hurt me. And my recovery is up to me. I knew that if I had the yogurt I would feel full and satisfied and would sleep better. I always sleep better after a bedtime snack. And sleep is good for me. And so is feeling satisfied and full. So I didn’t restrict. I consider myself recovered - I basically haven’t restricted at all in nearly 2 years. But the thoughts still creep in. And that’s why you are so precious Ro. A gentle wonderful space to keep my brain steeped in needed reminders and the understanding that I’m choosing myself and my peace and my self love and my nourishment and my freedom. And I’m not going back. I love squash. And I love you Ro. Hug.

      You don’t need to feel bad about hunger. With my binge eating disorder, my brain lies and says I’m hungry when I’m not. Usually I’m lacking seratonin from being bored, or anxious and need to find a different coping mechanism. I honour the hunger, but also take breaks every few bites to check in with my body to see if I really am hungry.
      Recovery is never easy. Good luck. 🥰

    Im so glad you brought up binging! In treatment i definetly felt like anorexia was the "superior" ed and any other ones were just like you failed at anorexia and got this instead. Which isnt true at all. All eds are awful and painful illnesses to live with and go through. Its not about self control or being more/less sick. Just different ways of struggling. I felt so bad for so long because i had anorexia with binge/purge subtype and i always felt so stupid like why cant i just restrict right. But nobody should theres no right way to restrict because its not the right thing to be doing❤ nourish nourish nourish

    I’ve since moved houses and I found a sport I absolutely love and could do every day. Figure skating. It’s so freeing and I can express myself and I never think about how much I’m burning vs eating anymore. I just skate my heart out and eat whatever I want afterward ❤️
    Recovery is so worth it and healing my relationship with exercise has helped me find my happy place.

    Thank you so much for this video, Ro!! It helped a lot!!❤️ Recently I feel like I don't deserve to eat if I haven't completed some schoolwork or housework or anything..because I feel unproductive and not enough. You've showed me today and reminded me that I need to follow my meal plan to recover. Ty and ily!!!🤗🤗

    Going to the bathroom before a meal or snack is something I thought was just a weird me thing. Weirdly comforting to know other people have struggled similarly. Thank you for being so bravely vulnerable for the benefit of so many other people. You are a truly beautiful soul ❤️

    Hi Ro !
    I just want to say that your been really helpful in my recovery from anorexia. ( i am going through it at the moment.).

    You also help me challenge myself !As a matter of fact, next week, i plan to eat like my best friends for a day !

No matter how positive I try to be I have not come to accept my body. Sometimes it is people like you that keep me going and I am very grateful to have you and go through this with you all together

    Thank you so much for doing this. I was currently trying to eat dinner or more like a dinner snack after I kind of struggled with a binge today. It was a binge so to say just eating more than usually (I'm trying to start recovery but I don't have professional help and I'm restricting most days) I was feeling guilty but I knew I still needed food, so this really helped, I also had some hummus butmwith veggies:) I was struggling but I finished it

    • @leopardface1
      @leopardface1 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Lol something in my brain is like 'go for a wee now because you can't go halfway through a meal' and it's weirdly not a result of my eating disorder. I don't think so anyway.... my dad does it as well like just as food is being served and it drives my mother insane lol

    I don't mean this in a mean way, but it felt really good to hear you say you quit your a-levels. Of course this sucks, but I just feel very validated. I quit university a month ago after four hard years and it just goes to show that even after recovery not everyone can just hop (back) on the life bus and succeed at everything.

    Okay first of all I am so proud of you for how far you’ve come! And I’m sure you are proud of yourself too! Your a huge inspiration and an amazing and strong person! Secondly I had a question but I’m not sure you will see it. I have some digestive issues which I’ve had my whole life but as you can imagine anorexia made it a lot worse. I’m quite afraid of how this will effect recovery for me considering sometimes with my digestion it gets so painful for hours it hurts to eat. I’m scared that that will hold me back from ever being able to fully recover as sometimes I know I won’t be able to eat because of my digestion and that could trigger me to restrict. Is there anything that could make recovery possible?

    Re. Sitcom romantic set ups....my older sister was with a lovely Welsh lad 17yrs ago. 7 yrs later they got engaged. My little sis moved to the same area and met up with my older sis, her fiancé (god, I cringe at that word!!!🤣) and his younger bro for a drink. From that night onwards the younger siblings were inseparable and 11yrs on both sets of siblings are married and have 2 kiddlies each. They cousins share the same dna as siblings!!! It's a strange,sometimes beautiful world!!! Xxxx
