    It's definitely powerful when we can look back and see how far we've come, especially when we know how impossible it all felt back then. It's been amazing to watch you take back your LIFE and getting back to being YOU. It's awesome, and I hope you're letting yourself celebrate and be as proud as you deserve to be (which is a HECK of a LOT!).

    I’m digesting this incredible recap of your journey from hospital with a feeding tube to where you are today. What really hits is that you had such a strong will to live and very specific goals: stay out of hospital, get out of the wheel chair, finish your education. And you kept focused on those goals. You are amazing. I just can’t think of any other superlatives. Amazing. Inspiring. Thank you for sharing this very intimate and honest journey from the brink to living your life on your terms. Amazing. ❤

    This was really moving to see you acknowledge all of your progress. I remember so clearly watching your early videos and seeing how hard a yoghurt was for you and you said back then that one day a yoghurt would just be a yoghurt and whilst only you know how you feel about it now, it looks like you've reached that aim. It's a real privilege to watch you progress and to see you hitting your targets and milestones ❤️ You are so right about consistency! You've done it every single day and that's an incredible achievement and so inspiring! I took up running not long before you started KZread last year and every time I don't want to go or I want to cut it short and finish early I remind myself that you don't get to cut corners and I think to myself if Fi can fight through her challenges and push through even when it's hard then I can keep going 💪 You sharing your journey has helped so many others- you should be really proud of that as well! You've come such a long way and you're still doing it, I love the idea of you being angry at your snack but doing it anyway- that's what progress is, that's what strength is and you're smashing it!! 💪 So so proud of you and all that you've achieved and continue to achieve!! ❤️ You deserve all of the happiness and success!!

Aww this really did make me smile so much, thankyou Chloe :') so so so much love! xxx P.s. the pizza was delicious!

    As someone whose been following from the very start, it's amazing to see how much strength you've proven you have. There's SO MUCH more sparkle in your demeaner now. We can see how proud you are and it's just so heartwarming. I can't express the strangeness of following a stranger on the internet and feeling so connected. You keep going girl. I know the fight never truly stops but more so, it becomes second nature. So much love to you for sharing it all with the world. What you are doing is important work for others and not just yourself.

I don't have personal experience with an eating disorder. I am just a mom of kids your age, and I have been praying for your recovery from my side of the ocean. I cannot even begin to imagine how difficult your last year has been. How generous of you to share your experience in the hopes of helping others, and helping yourself at the same time. I am continuing to cheer for you, your strength, your time at university and your continuing recovery. And finally, it's okay to just eat the pizza! Good for you!!

I really hope you know how much you've grown since last year...and I want to say thank you. Not just for filming every single day (because thats amaizing how you manaed to find time in between all of that) but I want to thank you for staying with me from the biggining. I fight anorexia since last september and I was having hard times in and out of hospital. I kind of found a peace within your videos andI hope you know how much you helped me...as well as other people on here... We still need to keep going but our progress is such an amaizing thing worth mentioning every day!! I love you, Fi❤️❤️❤️

    Hey Fi, I really related to you when you said one of the most difficult things is the isolation. I don't have an ED, but a different issue that has at times has made me feel alone, stagnant, and behind my friends in life. I'm doing better now and I've learned that journeys of healing and growth, however slow and meandering, do not leave us "behind." You have faced impossible odds, proved yourself a fighter, and touched many many lives along the way. Not everyone can say that at your age. You are truly incredible!

    I loved this video and how you talked about your journey so far. I always look forward to seeing your videos. I only have three videos of my own up and keep wanting to make more but battling it for some reason. My kids keep telling me, mom just keep going....I am learning a lot from you as well. As a kid, I witnessed the struggles my older sister went through during her Anorexia way back in the 1980's. It is NOT a choic but she did made a full recovery.. Sadly she passed away from Cancer in 2018 but I cherish all the memories we had. I completely understand you, Fi and I will always be here for you. One day at a time.

You have cone such a long way and I am beyond proud of you and all the effort you've put into healing yourself - inside and out. My first thought when I started watching this was, "Wow!" You have this glow about you and it's like I can see the happiness in your eyes. Keep on shining, lady! You are a gem.

The things you shared resonated with both my own anorexia recovery but also, my complex PTSD recovery. I also have so many thoughts like "I'll be able to manage (fill in the blank) in a month!" Then I get overwhelmed and fall apart. What a revelation to take things more slowly to have a more sustainable and strong recovery! Powerful message.

    It's always surprising to me when you can say exactly how long it has been since you had a specific food. It really drills down for me how controlling anorexia is. I have a stepdaughter that I'm a bit concerned about. If you ever feel like it, maybe you could give parents warning signs and helpful insights. I'm sure if your parents had that, it could have helped them to help you. I need your insight so much. Thank you so much for sharing your life. I wonder how many you have helped.
