i got so happy when I saw “my period” in the title :) i am still on my way on getting my period back but congrats to u :) can’t wait to watch the video :) you are doing amazing and you are an inspiration!!
When I was anorexic I also didn't have it. But luckily I soon got it back because I could recover after only about two years. I am healthy now for years and my life is really so much better. Keep going. ♥️
Being able to have children was a massive motivator for me too. I am fully recovered and currently 7 and a half months pregnant with twins (conceived naturally). You can recover, you can have your babies, life can be so good. Its so so worth it, keep going!!
This came at exactly the right time. I've only recently started having my period again and struggling with increased hunger and cravings. Thank you so much for this content and being so honest. Xx
I just want to say - the fact that you can eat so independently shows how much you are smashing recovery. It is a journey, but your ability to go places with friends and eat at your boyfriends, that is something so many people struggle to do, because eating with family becomes safe. You are doing amazing, you are amazing x
To every body still trying to get their period back: You got this. We're in this together! You'll eventually get it back. Don't stress over it. You're doing great! To every body: (period or not): I'm proud of you! You're amazing
Everyone who is recovering from or adjusting to idea that they may be living with an eating disorder is amazing. Eating disorders only ever pick on fighters, and self love and self acceptance are some of the many things that you gain as you go on your recovery journey. We can beat these internal bullies, deprive yourself of solitude and isolation and you’ll be on to a winner. Your eating disorder wants you to its self.
It is important for you to know that if your daughter is still struggling, none of these recovery stories will be inspirational to her. All these videos will actually trigger her disease even further.
I remembered me getting my period back in klinik and I told the doctor and the nurse that I got them back and they jumped around and hugged my😂 it was the best to feel happiness in this situation and I want to send you some of the happiness I felt❤ keep going! It's the only way! I'm 3 years healthy now 💪 it's amazing!!!!
I feel like people don’t talk enough about how difficult dealing with periods can be during and after ED recovery. I’ve been recovered for over 3 years now, but still my TOM can really set me back mentally. However, reminding myself there’s a very real reason (hormones etc) my brain and body feel different helps ever so slightly. Keep going with your recovery journey ❤️
To the lovely Ro: When I saw the notification for this video I beamed, I was so proud and excited for you. I’ve been following your recovery since about month 3. To see how many hurdles you’ve jumped, fear-foods you’ve faced and milestones you’ve marked have been nothing short of a privilege to witness. I’ve seen you go from using the same heart shaped, white bowl and childhood spoon with the red plastic handle for practically every meal without fail; to not knowing what vessel or utensils I’ll see in the next clip; to witnessing the first time in a long while that your parents made you a cup of tea or a meal. I can’t tell you how proud I am to see you finally fuel yourself with confidence. I love watching you increasingly become the you-est you. A fully self-actualized, adult you, a you with increasingly full freedom, a you with happiness and contentment, and a you that has enough grace, self love and compassion to assert and honor your needs whatever they may be. I know you still have a ways to go; but my goodness the ground you’ve covered is immense. We both know that any form of recovery and healing has its peaks and valleys; and by no means is recovery linear. One thing that I can say, is that the next valley, whenever and however it may be, you have set yourself up in such a way that the next valleys will always be at a higher set point than your last. Long story short my dear, well done. Thank you for sharing your journey and imparting your support, advice and nuggets of wisdom. Much love to you, Ro. Here’s to more happiness, improvement and many more opportunities to live life to the fullest. ❤️ -Sakina
Dear Ro, You don't know me but I am incredibly proud of you and your journey! Thank you for your honesty! I'm at the other end of the ED spectrum. I'm having gastric bypass surgery tomorrow at 5:30AM! I wish you continued success on your recovery! Thank you so much for sharing and being an inspiration! ❤
RO! You are truly such an inspiration and I cannot tell you how proud we all are of you. You have come such a long way and are an amazing role model for so many people in recovery. I have been documenting my own ED recovery journey on my channel and really admire your strength and perseverance. KEEP GOING! You are doing amazing ❤
this video is perfect for me right now. I just got my period back starting yesterday after a year without it (yay!!) and am struggling with cravings a bit!! thanks for being such an inspiration always!! I love you so so so much!! 😘😘
It'd been a while since I watched one of your videos and oh man, the CHANGE in your body language and way of speaking.. it is huge! In the best possible way. You look so much more relaxed and at ease. So good to see. Happy for and applauding all the progress you're making.
How delightful! I love how you eat such a variety. The fact that you've regained your monthly cycle is very encouraging. Thank you for sharing this. I'm beyond the age of having those cyclical cravings, but I clearly recall how I would berate and abuse myself because I foolishly sought to control my cravings. Keep going, dear. You're doing very well.
I just can try to imagine what period body image must be like for someone with ed background. I'm totally fine with my body normally, but on my period I sometimes don't want to look at me in the mirror. So... you're really not alone and even ed free people get insecure and uncomfortable in that time. You're strong :)
I would consider myself to be mostly recovered for a few years now, and I've just started exercising again recently. It's been a mental battle to not see that as a means to lose weight, but instead as a way to be healthier in general. My old ED voice has been talking in my ear the past few days, but your attitude in this video really helped me to snap out of it. There are so many WIEIADs out there that can be triggering, but this one made me remember why I fought so hard to recover in the first place. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, I wish you the best going forward! :)
Wow I can’t believe you put this video up after I just got my period back last week after years. I was getting so worried it wouldn’t come back, I desperately want kids, but when it did, instead of being over the moon like I thought I would be that cruel ed voice snuck in and said it’s because I’m definitely fat now..and I’ve been eating SO much chocolate and hating myself for it. I’ve been out of treatment a few months now and doing ok but this has really put me on shaky ground. Thanks for this video and the light you shine and the reminder that recovery is worth it. I think you’re amazing and I find real comfort in watching your videos and the wise words you say and your refusal to let ed beat you.. I’m absorbing this one today - I’ve got my period back, my body is working again, my body is thanking me!
congratulations !!! i got mine back a few months ago and I can honestly say life is so much better!! laughing way more than i ever used to before :)))) hope it goes well for you in the future xx
I was so happy when I saw that you made a new video. I’m in anorexia recovery and it’s so hard and frustrating honestly. I feel like I’m so slow but at the same time I feel like each bite of food has an impact, idk how to explain it. I started recovery since since February I think, but very slowly at first (which I think is normal) and I have pushed myself sooo much since the beginning of the year. But I think that I mainly slowed my weight loss, and that I have still lost some weight this year... I feel like I will never see the end of anorexia, because seeing that my progress is (too) slow is really deceiving but at the same time reassuring in some way, once again it’s difficult to explain :/ I want sooo much to find the same courage that you found to push through recovery, I really do want to find my old life back. You’re doing so great ,it’s amazing to see 🥰
every single video i see you gaining yourself back and gaining this glow of beauty that surrounds you. i don’t believe have far you have come. your happiness is brightening up your face and i can see it x stay strong x
The sole fact that you are able to write this is incredible 💜💜 I'm almost at 8 months of recovery now, and I've completely lost my hunger cues again which is so frustrating. Have you got any tips? Also, how long did weight redistribution take you? I feel very "uneven" and the moment and I'm scared it will never fix itself. Overall just having a bit of a hard time recently but at least this really cheered me up today 🥰
Hiya, I hope you’re doing well ❤️ I just wanted to get in touch with you, you’re best seeking advice from a health professional. I know you mean we’ll however, fo those in recovery it can be triggering for them to hear of others in similar situations. Eating disorders are very competitive and it can be hard to hear of other persons ED symptoms x
@@alisonhiggins3012 Isn’t that literally what Ro’s channel is (hearing about someone else’s recovery symptoms/experiences)??? Whilst I agree it’s always best to defer to professionals, I have to wonder if you’ve watched any of the videos on this channel…
@@alisonhiggins3012 I'm not responsible for other people's triggers. If someone is hurt by this comment then they really shouldn't be watching it in the first place? Plus I'm literally just asking for advice... don't see what I did wrong?
remember that recovery is different for everyone! i technically had an underweight bmi but never "looked" sick, so people didnt realize how bad my anorexia got until it was too late. now in recovery i am dealing with a lot of comments about how i am starting to look "unhealty", when in fact, i am the opposite! i have been in recovery for 9 months and still havent gotten my period back, but im finally starting to redistribute properly. keep in mind that a lot of it is your warped self image re-righting itself. youve got this, chin up!
You are honestly a f**kin gem. After 6 years from being 16, battling with anorexia/binge eating, it has been so amazing to come across your videos. Only now, have I really started challenging fear foods and drilling it into myself that I am allowed to eat any food at all without guilt, and that is so much to do with everything you have shared on here. I didn't even know what a 'fear food' was or that I had them (I have never had professional help for an eating disorder). Then I watched your videos and I was like, shit, I restrict everything. You have inspired me so much to try and let go that little bit more and feel safe in that space. I can't stress how much I appreciate how genuine and honest you are. Think most people would agree that it feels very easy to relate to you. You should be endlessly proud of yourself for this!
girl I cannot tell u how PROUD of u and how far you’ve come. You seem so happy and actually living properly, you inspire me everyday and u deserve full recovery and a beautiful life
Ro, you are such an inspiration to many. I wish I had someone like you to look up to and see the recovery journey of when I was going through recovery, but TH-cam didn’t exist then and EDs were not really talked about in the same way. I felt so alone. I can imagine people going through recovery today being able to find your channel and realising they are not alone and can do it!! You’re doing amazing ❤️
I can’t describe how happy I am for you!!! I literally cried when you said how you are honouring your hunger,that you got your period ! This video came in the perfect time,motivated me because I had quite a hard time ! Love you,Ro,God bless you 🦋🤍🧿❄️
ro im proud of u all the time cause u are so (especially your childhood) deserves better and don’t thinking about of food im so happy to have followed you since the day i saw your first video because i know you, yes i've been watching you since your first video,ily sm ro always stay well
YAY RO!! You are doing SO much better! We all love seeing your growth through it all! I actually did some resurch, and when people say you need to have 3 exact meals a day is kind of wrong in a sense. Our bodys were actually made to eat almost every 2 hours! So when you are hungry you eat a snack! I love how you are more aware and intentional about intuitive eating because someone with anorexia, it almost disapears and you dont know if your hungry or full or not. Sending my love ro! Cant wait to buy some of your shirts!!
Dear Ro, well done, you have come so far in your recovery journey and not only are you healing your own relationship with food, you are helping people (including me) heal their relationship with food along the way. You are proof that every small step in the right direction, however slow, will get you where you want to be! You are inspiring and it's amazing to see you thriving. Lots of love! Dxx
Ro this is such a side note but looking at your face this whole time is such a blessing. Your incredibly beautiful and your eyes are just perfection. Your eating disorder tried to take your beauty away and now your flourishing in beauty and grace with health and food. Never underestimate how well your doing and how much your body is celebrating right now
So much love for you! The idea of regaining my period is both exciting and terrifying and having you be so open with your experience has normalized it a little more for me and made the entire journey a little easier🤍 thank you xx
You can really see your personality coming back! You are so full of life and so funny. Eds make us lose ourselves but you’re starting to find yourself again and its beautiful to watch
I literally just recovered my period n i'm dealing with the period cravings, extreme hunger, bad body image and the fact that having it again means getting healthier, ur sooo helpfull
@@xiu6843 Heyyy, sorry for the late reply, i'm doing recovery with the help if professionals so my dietitian gave me a personal "meal plan" as a minimun when i just started recovery, however nowdays i don't follow it strictly because i usually get hungrier, i'm not allowed to know how many calories i'm suppossed to be needing, and even if I did i can't tell yoy cuz everybody has different needs, but i would recommend taking vitamin c and iron, and you can start by taking 5 meals a day (that's why dietitian suggested me) i can't tell you how to recover cuz i'm not a proffesional :( but having the decision to start recovery is a big step
@@xiu6843 I think it's cuz my ED gets overly obssesed with calories so it was better for my mental health to not be aware of thosr numbers, same with ny weight
this got posted at the perfect time because I literally got mine back yesterday and I've been finding it hard to handle mentally. thank you so much ro, you made my day better xx
I watched a couple of your videos months ago and now I came across this one after a long time, I’m glad that you’re still improving so much on this journey and that you’re still sharing it with others, I’m sure you’re helping a lot of people.💖
this video made me so happy Ro, thank you for sharing your personal progress while also encouraging (and with incredibly impact) mine's and every one else fighting this. sending you much love and good vibes ♡
Helloo!!, i´m in recover from anorexia and anxiety and yesterday i started with my period too, it has been difficult from me because i´m craving a lots of things, but I try to eat them because it makes me happy to having control about me, so...We can, life is too short to live in this way, i´m so proud of you, i admire you in every single way, it´s harder that we think but we are strong enough to do this, i love you and you are not alone ♥ I´m so sorry for my english, i´m from Mexico, so I´m sorry if something is wrong🥰
i recently almost lost my life from anorexia, at the time i was determined to get my shit together but since have been struggling. i've been watching you since around your birthday last year, your constant correction between ed behaviors and what your body needs have been so helpful. you radiate so much love and positivity, thank you for being so raw with recovery and overall lovely
I'm sooooo happy for you🥺🥺💕💕 I started my recovery almost at the same time as you (nov 2020) and you don't know how much i've learned and you have helped me all these months, you are one of the strongest girls i have ever seen, i'm super proud of you🥺💕 love from Mexico 🌸
I was diagnosed with an ed last weekend, I think. And now I'm in recovery :). It's your videos which really inspired me to recover. It's so nice to relate to your videos, and feel less alone while watching them. :)) Anyways, thank you for your content. I love your videos!!
Thank you for talking about how hard getting your period back is. I still find it really hard and it's good to know that not everyone is always glad to have it back at first.
This is amazing! You are amazing! I've recently got signs of my period coming back and the guilt and anxiety that's come with it has been horrendous. This has really helped and I'm so so happy for you that you've come so far!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH. your videos have helped me more than you will ever know, i just got my period back and im feeling really guilty about it and about continuing to eat a normal amount. this video made me realise that i'm really proud of you when i see you eat or reach for that extra biscuit, and i really want you to fully recover, so why dont i want those things for myself? seeing you enjoy food as part of your life has given me motivation to keep going because honestly i was on the brink of relapse. i cried through the whole video because the guilt you used to feel is what im feeling right now, and now i have hope that that guilt will pass with time. i just have to be patient and kind with myself and my mind. you can't rush recovery, it's gonna take my mind time to adjust to eating more and my 'new' body. one day i hope that i too can reach the point you are at now, where im able to see things more clearly and rationally. thank you for giving me hope and making me feel less alone.
It makes me so happy to see how far you have come ro! I couldn’t help but smile all the way through the video because of how proud I was to see you striving in your recovery❤️
Your bites are so much more confident! And eating as many biscuits as you wanted without nearly any hesitation?! Honoring your hunger and craving! Ro! You're doing so well!
I admire you so much for staying vegan while you're battling with recovery. It's been 4 years since I've started my recovery journey and I still think it would trigger my disordered eating if I tried going vegan. You're so brave and strong 💪🏻💐
IM SO PROUD OF U !! i got my period back about two month’s ago, was a bit scary at first n i didn’t want it, but i realised that it’s a normal human function !!
i never completely lost my period, but my cycle got messed up by my ED (6-8, sometimes even 9 weeks between periods) but i just got it perfectly on time for the first time in quite a while and it makes me so happy to see that both of our bodies are doing what they need !!! we both deserve health and happiness :-) ive been struggling the past few weeks but you've helped so much 💗💗
hearing u say that you’ve got your period back makes me feel so at ease because i have been struggling a lot with getting my period back, this video helped me loads thank u so much
adding to this, i just finished the video and teared up because of how proud i am of you. keep your head high queen. i’m so proud of u and how far you’ve come. you’re one of the biggest reasons why i started recovery, u saved my life
I haven't seen your videos in a while and i have to say you've come so far already and I'm really freaking proud of you for this. You seem so much healthier and happier. It's really inspiring. Keep going strong (even in hard times)
you're such a big inspiration to me, you're so strong and brave. I'm so proud of all the hard work you have done, you are amazing and so beautiful as well, you look bright and that makes me happy, you really helped me in my recovery journey, i even got my period back, thank you!!! sending you love and God bless you
i sat crying at the end I’m so proud of you and how far you’ve come. I haven’t watched you in a bit of time and I just and ate my dinner with you. I cant wait for one day to have a healthy relationship with food like you. Thankyou
In comparison to your older videos I mean, this is a whole different Ro in terms of strength. You’ve proven to be so much stronger. You have cleared grown around your ed and man it’s so obvious. I mean look at you go not minding AT ALL the change of times with college. With school I personally struggled since I didn’t have the same times & portions triggered me. But now I’ve adapted. & eat whatever I crave whenever I feel hunger & thats thanks to people like you Ro. And your out here eating out with friends & bf. LIKE CAN BE ACKNOWLEDGE THE GROWTH!!?!?? You didn’t even seem to get anxious at all to not knowing what you were going to have for dinner at your bfs house. So insanely proud Ro, you’ve clearly done it. Still some road left but not nearly as much. You must be really proud & thankful to yourself, b/c thanks to you pushing & choosing recovery every single day, your here with a social, free, loving lifestyle. All I can say now is keep it up & thank you🤍
I needed this video!! I know it's an old one but it came on my feed and I feel like the universe was telling me that I needed to watch this. struggle street with this concept currently and trying to still maintain my recovery
You freaking KILLED IT!!! This was such an amazing video to see. One year later, and I am so, so, SO proud of you! Little Ro is proud of you, too! Keep on slaying!
I live with anorexia and bulimia. My period has not been for 6 months. I have been in the recovery process for 4 months. I do my best, but I do not have my period. I started to lose hope. Thanks for the video. you are doing amazing!!!! I'm proud of you
Truthfully, I didn't come to your page with the best of intentions for myself, but your page has done alot for me and has helped me take care of myself. You're inspiring me all the time and the mantras about food really help me out when I'm having trouble.
I gave into my period cravings over the holidays and I’ve been feeling incredibly guilty about it. But seeing this made me feel so much more at ease with it. It’s just food :)
Ro I love you so much. I’ve been watching your channel since the beginning of your journey and your journey has been almost identical to mine. I’m so happy you’re doing so well, I’ve been completely recovered at a healthy weight for about six months now but I went to the same process you did telling myself I had to heal. I love you with my whole heart. And I’ve never related to someone as wholesome and sweet as you over the Internet. ❤️❤️❤️
i used to loathe my period but after losing it and getting it back again, i get how important it is and it has connected me with my body even more now :)
i've been watching since february and struggle with anorexia. it's literally so emotional watching you become more full of life, you help so many people eat honestly, we love you💞
I’ve been watching all your videos and following your journey through recovery. I must say, I feel soooo happy for you that you have grown and come so far. You’re truly the hero of your own story. Keep doing what your doing because Ro you’re glowing with happiness xxx
I have never been underweight but pressure to be thin is getting to me and I find myself constantly checking myself in the mirror and insulting myself. and your videos help me so much to not be guilty about eating and the way i look. Thank you so much!!!!
a boyfriend, period, college, look at you go! here’s to many more accomplishments
🥺🥺🥺

When I saw the notification for this video I beamed, I was so proud and excited for you. I’ve been following your recovery since about month 3. To see how many hurdles you’ve jumped, fear-foods you’ve faced and milestones you’ve marked have been nothing short of a privilege to witness. I’ve seen you go from using the same heart shaped, white bowl and childhood spoon with the red plastic handle for practically every meal without fail; to not knowing what vessel or utensils I’ll see in the next clip; to witnessing the first time in a long while that your parents made you a cup of tea or a meal. I can’t tell you how proud I am to see you finally fuel yourself with confidence. I love watching you increasingly become the you-est you. A fully self-actualized, adult you, a you with increasingly full freedom, a you with happiness and contentment, and a you that has enough grace, self love and compassion to assert and honor your needs whatever they may be.
I know you still have a ways to go; but my goodness the ground you’ve covered is immense.

Wow I can’t believe you put this video up after I just got my period back last week after years. I was getting so worried it wouldn’t come back, I desperately want kids, but when it did, instead of being over the moon like I thought I would be that cruel ed voice snuck in and said it’s because I’m definitely fat now..and I’ve been eating SO much chocolate and hating myself for it. I’ve been out of treatment a few months now and doing ok but this has really put me on shaky ground. Thanks for this video and the light you shine and the reminder that recovery is worth it. I think you’re amazing and I find real comfort in watching your videos and the wise words you say and your refusal to let ed beat you..
I’m absorbing this one today - I’ve got my period back, my body is working again, my body is thanking me!
congratulations !!! i got mine back a few months ago and I can honestly say life is so much better!! laughing way more than i ever used to before :)))) hope it goes well for you in the future xx
I was so happy when I saw that you made a new video. I’m in anorexia recovery and it’s so hard and frustrating honestly. I feel like I’m so slow but at the same time I feel like each bite of food has an impact, idk how to explain it. I started recovery since since February I think, but very slowly at first (which I think is normal) and I have pushed myself sooo much since the beginning of the year. But I think that I mainly slowed my weight loss, and that I have still lost some weight this year... I feel like I will never see the end of anorexia, because seeing that my progress is (too) slow is really deceiving but at the same time reassuring in some way, once again it’s difficult to explain :/ I want sooo much to find the same courage that you found to push through recovery, I really do want to find my old life back. You’re doing so great ,it’s amazing to see 🥰
every single video i see you gaining yourself back and gaining this glow of beauty that surrounds you. i don’t believe have far you have come. your happiness is brightening up your face and i can see it x stay strong x
The sole fact that you are able to write this is incredible 💜💜 I'm almost at 8 months of recovery now, and I've completely lost my hunger cues again which is so frustrating. Have you got any tips? Also, how long did weight redistribution take you? I feel very "uneven" and the moment and I'm scared it will never fix itself. Overall just having a bit of a hard time recently but at least this really cheered me up today 🥰
Hiya, I hope you’re doing well ❤️ I just wanted to get in touch with you, you’re best seeking advice from a health professional. I know you mean we’ll however, fo those in recovery it can be triggering for them to hear of others in similar situations. Eating disorders are very competitive and it can be hard to hear of other persons ED symptoms x
@@alisonhiggins3012 Isn’t that literally what Ro’s channel is (hearing about someone else’s recovery symptoms/experiences)???
Whilst I agree it’s always best to defer to professionals, I have to wonder if you’ve watched any of the videos on this channel…
Me too :( I also have a hyper metabolism and can’t gain weight
@@alisonhiggins3012 I'm not responsible for other people's triggers. If someone is hurt by this comment then they really shouldn't be watching it in the first place? Plus I'm literally just asking for advice... don't see what I did wrong?
remember that recovery is different for everyone! i technically had an underweight bmi but never "looked" sick, so people didnt realize how bad my anorexia got until it was too late. now in recovery i am dealing with a lot of comments about how i am starting to look "unhealty", when in fact, i am the opposite! i have been in recovery for 9 months and still havent gotten my period back, but im finally starting to redistribute properly. keep in mind that a lot of it is your warped self image re-righting itself. youve got this, chin up!
Seeing you living your life and eating with much more ease makes me 🥺
You are honestly a f**kin gem. After 6 years from being 16, battling with anorexia/binge eating, it has been so amazing to come across your videos. Only now, have I really started challenging fear foods and drilling it into myself that I am allowed to eat any food at all without guilt, and that is so much to do with everything you have shared on here. I didn't even know what a 'fear food' was or that I had them (I have never had professional help for an eating disorder). Then I watched your videos and I was like, shit, I restrict everything. You have inspired me so much to try and let go that little bit more and feel safe in that space.
I can't stress how much I appreciate how genuine and honest you are. Think most people would agree that it feels very easy to relate to you. You should be endlessly proud of yourself for this!
You’re thriving girl!! You’re doing absolutely amazing. You’ve come such a long way and your work is starting to pay off. I’m genuinely happy for you
you are my top 10 motivations to recover. you have come so far and you are a true example that It is POSSIBLE🤎
girl I cannot tell u how PROUD of u and how far you’ve come. You seem so happy and actually living properly, you inspire me everyday and u deserve full recovery and a beautiful life
thank you!!!
Ro, you are such an inspiration to many. I wish I had someone like you to look up to and see the recovery journey of when I was going through recovery, but TH-cam didn’t exist then and EDs were not really talked about in the same way. I felt so alone. I can imagine people going through recovery today being able to find your channel and realising they are not alone and can do it!! You’re doing amazing ❤️
I can’t describe how happy I am for you!!! I literally cried when you said how you are honouring your hunger,that you got your period ! This video came in the perfect time,motivated me because I had quite a hard time ! Love you,Ro,God bless you 🦋🤍🧿❄️
This really helped me today, thank you for your positivity! You are such an inspiration :)
so happy it helped you 🤎
ro im proud of u all the time cause u are so (especially your childhood) deserves better and don’t thinking about of food im so happy to have followed you since the day i saw your first video because i know you, yes i've been watching you since your first video,ily sm ro always stay well
thank you
YAY RO!! You are doing SO much better! We all love seeing your growth through it all! I actually did some resurch, and when people say you need to have 3 exact meals a day is kind of wrong in a sense. Our bodys were actually made to eat almost every 2 hours! So when you are hungry you eat a snack! I love how you are more aware and intentional about intuitive eating because someone with anorexia, it almost disapears and you dont know if your hungry or full or not. Sending my love ro! Cant wait to buy some of your shirts!!
"who cares about serving sizes?! not me!" love this and ur face you pull xD
Dear Ro, well done, you have come so far in your recovery journey and not only are you healing your own relationship with food, you are helping people (including me) heal their relationship with food along the way.
You are proof that every small step in the right direction, however slow, will get you where you want to be!
You are inspiring and it's amazing to see you thriving. Lots of love! Dxx
this is so lovely, thank you xxx
Ro! You look so happy in this video! I'm so proud of how far you've come :) it's super inspirational
thanks sweet
I’ve not seen you for a while and your skin is literally glowing. No Charlotte Tilbury required for you! You are absolutely smashing this.
Ro this is such a side note but looking at your face this whole time is such a blessing. Your incredibly beautiful and your eyes are just perfection. Your eating disorder tried to take your beauty away and now your flourishing in beauty and grace with health and food. Never underestimate how well your doing and how much your body is celebrating right now
You've got this girl! 💪
So proud of you, and happy that your periods returned even though they do suck! Wishing you all the best 💕
i literally feel horrible...i'm in the middle of relapsing and i hope watching this makes me feel better ♡ you can do this Ro. WE can do this
So much love for you! The idea of regaining my period is both exciting and terrifying and having you be so open with your experience has normalized it a little more for me and made the entire journey a little easier🤍 thank you xx
You can really see your personality coming back! You are so full of life and so funny. Eds make us lose ourselves but you’re starting to find yourself again and its beautiful to watch
I literally just recovered my period n i'm dealing with the period cravings, extreme hunger, bad body image and the fact that having it again means getting healthier, ur sooo helpfull
i love u!
aa so happy for you, good job 🥺 keep going .< ❤
@@xiu6843 Heyyy, sorry for the late reply, i'm doing recovery with the help if professionals so my dietitian gave me a personal "meal plan" as a minimun when i just started recovery, however nowdays i don't follow it strictly because i usually get hungrier, i'm not allowed to know how many calories i'm suppossed to be needing, and even if I did i can't tell yoy cuz everybody has different needs, but i would recommend taking vitamin c and iron, and you can start by taking 5 meals a day (that's why dietitian suggested me) i can't tell you how to recover cuz i'm not a proffesional :( but having the decision to start recovery is a big step
@@minarin4375 oh thank you for the respond
@@xiu6843 I think it's cuz my ED gets overly obssesed with calories so it was better for my mental health to not be aware of thosr numbers, same with ny weight
I GOT MY PERIOD BACK THIS MORNING. this vid came up at the best time i swear. i love u ro, u have helped me sm
this got posted at the perfect time because I literally got mine back yesterday and I've been finding it hard to handle mentally. thank you so much ro, you made my day better xx

Im so proud of you ! I love seeing you smile bcs , of you i started belive in a recorvery . We love you so much and we are all so proud of you ❤️!
🥺🥺🥰
I watched a couple of your videos months ago and now I came across this one after a long time, I’m glad that you’re still improving so much on this journey and that you’re still sharing it with others, I’m sure you’re helping a lot of people.💖
It's shocking how beautiful you are. Your skin glows and your eyes are so bright. You are truly glowing. Gorgeous woman!!!!
this video made me so happy Ro, thank you for sharing your personal progress while also encouraging (and with incredibly impact) mine's and every one else fighting this. sending you much love and good vibes ♡
Helloo!!, i´m in recover from anorexia and anxiety and yesterday i started with my period too, it has been difficult from me because i´m craving a lots of things, but I try to eat them because it makes me happy to having control about me, so...We can, life is too short to live in this way, i´m so proud of you, i admire you in every single way, it´s harder that we think but we are strong enough to do this, i love you and you are not alone ♥
I´m so sorry for my english, i´m from Mexico, so I´m sorry if something is wrong🥰
i recently almost lost my life from anorexia, at the time i was determined to get my shit together but since have been struggling. i've been watching you since around your birthday last year, your constant correction between ed behaviors and what your body needs have been so helpful. you radiate so much love and positivity, thank you for being so raw with recovery and overall lovely
all my love - you got this xxxx
I'm sooooo happy for you🥺🥺💕💕 I started my recovery almost at the same time as you (nov 2020) and you don't know how much i've learned and you have helped me all these months, you are one of the strongest girls i have ever seen, i'm super proud of you🥺💕 love from Mexico 🌸
ahh all my love - so proud of you x
I’m so freaking proud of u ro, u don’t even know how much ur helping me during these times, thank u so much, ily ♥️
I was diagnosed with an ed last weekend, I think. And now I'm in recovery :). It's your videos which really inspired me to recover. It's so nice to relate to your videos, and feel less alone while watching them. :))
Anyways, thank you for your content. I love your videos!!
Thank you for talking about how hard getting your period back is. I still find it really hard and it's good to know that not everyone is always glad to have it back at first.
This is amazing! You are amazing! I've recently got signs of my period coming back and the guilt and anxiety that's come with it has been horrendous. This has really helped and I'm so so happy for you that you've come so far!!
Really proud of u
Literally one of the loveliest people I've ever seen.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. your videos have helped me more than you will ever know, i just got my period back and im feeling really guilty about it and about continuing to eat a normal amount. this video made me realise that i'm really proud of you when i see you eat or reach for that extra biscuit, and i really want you to fully recover, so why dont i want those things for myself? seeing you enjoy food as part of your life has given me motivation to keep going because honestly i was on the brink of relapse. i cried through the whole video because the guilt you used to feel is what im feeling right now, and now i have hope that that guilt will pass with time. i just have to be patient and kind with myself and my mind. you can't rush recovery, it's gonna take my mind time to adjust to eating more and my 'new' body. one day i hope that i too can reach the point you are at now, where im able to see things more clearly and rationally. thank you for giving me hope and making me feel less alone.
It makes me so happy to see how far you have come ro! I couldn’t help but smile all the way through the video because of how proud I was to see you striving in your recovery❤️
thank you 🤎
Your bites are so much more confident! And eating as many biscuits as you wanted without nearly any hesitation?! Honoring your hunger and craving! Ro! You're doing so well!
every single one of your videos make me so happy and give me an extra boost of will to live nil, im so grateful for u
The fact that she just eats what she wants when she feels hunger is so amazing for me😍
I admire you so much for staying vegan while you're battling with recovery. It's been 4 years since I've started my recovery journey and I still think it would trigger my disordered eating if I tried going vegan. You're so brave and strong 💪🏻💐
I am so proud of you girl
IM SO PROUD OF U !! i got my period back about two month’s ago, was a bit scary at first n i didn’t want it, but i realised that it’s a normal human function !!
i never completely lost my period, but my cycle got messed up by my ED (6-8, sometimes even 9 weeks between periods) but i just got it perfectly on time for the first time in quite a while and it makes me so happy to see that both of our bodies are doing what they need !!! we both deserve health and happiness :-) ive been struggling the past few weeks but you've helped so much 💗💗
not everyone does - them being irregular is a symptom too! we do indeed, all my love 🤎🤎
hearing u say that you’ve got your period back makes me feel so at ease because i have been struggling a lot with getting my period back, this video helped me loads thank u so much
adding to this, i just finished the video and teared up because of how proud i am of you. keep your head high queen. i’m so proud of u and how far you’ve come. you’re one of the biggest reasons why i started recovery, u saved my life
I haven't seen your videos in a while and i have to say you've come so far already and I'm really freaking proud of you for this. You seem so much healthier and happier. It's really inspiring. Keep going strong (even in hard times)
you're such a big inspiration to me, you're so strong and brave. I'm so proud of all the hard work you have done, you are amazing and so beautiful as well, you look bright and that makes me happy, you really helped me in my recovery journey, i even got my period back, thank you!!! sending you love and God bless you
i sat crying at the end I’m so proud of you and how far you’ve come. I haven’t watched you in a bit of time and I just and ate my dinner with you. I cant wait for one day to have a healthy relationship with food like you. Thankyou
In comparison to your older videos I mean, this is a whole different Ro in terms of strength. You’ve proven to be so much stronger. You have cleared grown around your ed and man it’s so obvious. I mean look at you go not minding AT ALL the change of times with college. With school I personally struggled since I didn’t have the same times & portions triggered me. But now I’ve adapted. & eat whatever I crave whenever I feel hunger & thats thanks to people like you Ro. And your out here eating out with friends & bf. LIKE CAN BE ACKNOWLEDGE THE GROWTH!!?!?? You didn’t even seem to get anxious at all to not knowing what you were going to have for dinner at your bfs house. So insanely proud Ro, you’ve clearly done it. Still some road left but not nearly as much. You must be really proud & thankful to yourself, b/c thanks to you pushing & choosing recovery every single day, your here with a social, free, loving lifestyle. All I can say now is keep it up & thank you🤍
I needed this video!! I know it's an old one but it came on my feed and I feel like the universe was telling me that I needed to watch this. struggle street with this concept currently and trying to still maintain my recovery
You freaking KILLED IT!!! This was such an amazing video to see. One year later, and I am so, so, SO proud of you! Little Ro is proud of you, too! Keep on slaying!
The way you danced while eating just shows how much you enjoyed it! Glad u did!
You are so full of life now , so lovely to see your personality shining through.
I got my period yesterday and I am a lot hungrier and I struggle with it a bit. This video came at the right time!
Thank you for being the least triggering and most calming recovery account you help me soooooooooo much
I live with anorexia and bulimia. My period has not been for 6 months. I have been in the recovery process for 4 months. I do my best, but I do not have my period. I started to lose hope. Thanks for the video. you are doing amazing!!!! I'm proud of you
Truthfully, I didn't come to your page with the best of intentions for myself, but your page has done alot for me and has helped me take care of myself. You're inspiring me all the time and the mantras about food really help me out when I'm having trouble.
i’m proud of you - keep going 🤎
Oh wow, congratulations, you’re doing AMAZING with your recovery 🤗🤗🤗. Your journey is such an inspiration for those looking to face their fears.
crying as I'm watching this because omg you're amazing
Thank you so incredibly much for sharing everything that you share, it's been so helpful x
You seemed so relaxed and yourself in this!! Love to see it xx
thank you
I gave into my period cravings over the holidays and I’ve been feeling incredibly guilty about it. But seeing this made me feel so much more at ease with it. It’s just food :)
Ro I love you so much. I’ve been watching your channel since the beginning of your journey and your journey has been almost identical to mine. I’m so happy you’re doing so well, I’ve been completely recovered at a healthy weight for about six months now but I went to the same process you did telling myself I had to heal. I love you with my whole heart. And I’ve never related to someone as wholesome and sweet as you over the Internet. ❤️❤️❤️
i used to loathe my period but after losing it and getting it back again, i get how important it is and it has connected me with my body even more now :)
Awe! Girl, look at you growing as an individual and glowing!
i've been watching since february and struggle with anorexia. it's literally so emotional watching you become more full of life, you help so many people eat honestly, we love you💞
I’ve been watching all your videos and following your journey through recovery. I must say, I feel soooo happy for you that you have grown and come so far. You’re truly the hero of your own story. Keep doing what your doing because Ro you’re glowing with happiness xxx
I just wanted to say thank you for making these videos. They really help me with feelings of food guilt in my recovery journey
been here since you started your channel and when i saw “period” in the title i got so happy, so proud of how far you’ve gotten!!
I'm so glad we've been able to share this journey with you. Seeing how far you've come gives me incredible hope
You have come such a long way; you are such an inspiration and incredibly strong for challenging this every single day!
I have never been underweight but pressure to be thin is getting to me and I find myself constantly checking myself in the mirror and insulting myself. and your videos help me so much to not be guilty about eating and the way i look.
Thank you so much!!!!
you seem so unbelievably happy nowadays!! I'm so proud of you Ro
