So, how are you doing now? It took me about 3 months to fully heal. I hope you can or did too.

I remember that at the beggining I thought that I was not going to be able to tell anyone about my ED. I tried to tell about it to my sister, mother, friends but & couldn’t. But fortunately I could with my psychologist, & I think It was the best desicion I've ever made. It was something really challenging (I couldn’t stop crying), but I don't regret it. I still have moments where I panic with food, but I don't want to waste beautiful moments of my life anymore.

As someone who has recovered from an eating disorder, seeing others recover too just makes me so happy. No one deserves to be locked in the awful prison an eatimg disorder is

I developed an ED when I started my diet (I used to be very overweight, I’ve dropped 18kg so far but still a quite long way to go). I count calories and always look at the percentage of fat, sugar, carbohydrate, and sodium. Eating little amount of food and still feeling guilty, obsessed and stressed out everyday. It’s exhausting, I purged a lot with laxative 2 months ago but now I’m telling myself no matter what I’m not gonna purge. I’m so proud of you for overcoming it, it is not easy and you’re an inspiration.

Even tho im late, genuinely thank you for this. Ive been struggling with disordered eating on and off since i was 12, and im 16 now. i catch myself making such good progress of eating normally and giving my body the right nutrients, and then one thing slightly triggers me and im back to where i was. i do want to recover.. for the people around me, but for myself, too. im constantly dizzy, freezing cold, my hair falls out that badly that i wake up after sleeping and my bed/pillow is covered, and i literally never have motivation for anything. this has given me a bit of hope. from the bottom of my heart, thank you. im so proud of you. i aspire to be you one day 🤍.

You’re an inspiration!!! Thank you for sharing this

2 years in with restrictive eating disorder and 3 months into recovery. It's scary and hard and I'm still struggling to accept recovery

I currently have a horrible relationship with food. I was overweight in middle school and I was bullied for it and I lost weight once I got high school. I’m now 26. I dread every time I have to eat. I have days where I can convince myself I don’t need to avoid food but then there’s days I binge and purge. Then There’s days I just won’t eat at all. I’m currently working on fixing my relationship with food and myself. We’re our own biggest critics. If anyone related to this, remember you’re beautiful. Your body’s needs the fuel. You can do this.

Why is ur voice so soothing wth 😂❤

As somoene living with an ed this vid made me cry. Thank you so so much for spreading awareness. ❤

thank you so much for this. i needed it

yes!! get professional help!! i had to go through a partial hospitalization because we couldn’t afford plane tickets to go out of state to a residential which was the recommended treatment for the degree of my bulimia nervosa. it’s scary. but dying was out of the question. now even just 6 months later i cannot believe how far i’ve come. you can do the same. even if you start in standard one on one therapy. you got this :)

I kind of have an eating disorder too, I normally waste a lot of food because I get a lost appetite during 1-2 bites. That’s why I’m skinny now. lol

After finding out that I'm overweight on the calculator and that my weight went back up, I'm on the verge of going back to disordered eating.

Thank you. I really needed this today

I don't think a lot of people realize just how MENTALLY EXHAUSTING eating disorders are. It's constant thinking about what you are going to eat, what you ate, macros, how much you burned, when you eat, when you should stop eating, sleep, excerise, water intake, what types of food you are eating, etc. It's NON-STOP. To everyone recovered, recovering or suffering. I feel you. I have struggled with bulimia(exercise purging), BED, and anorexia. They take turns every year. Some months, I binge non-stop. Then I exercise purge. Or I restrict non-stop. It's exhausting. I'm working on recovering. My anorexia recovery and bulimia are the easiest to stop for me. The BED is a whole other difficulty for me, though...

I dont have an eating disorder but an anxiety disorder. The way how you described how you felt when eating something that made you guilty, i could relate to it very hard. I feel guilty for procrastinating and not getting school work done and doing poorly at school/not being able to find a job/fear of unemployment in the future. Gaining some weight is normal but looks so distorted to an individual with eating disorder. That kinda convinced me that me messing things up at school too is normal. Im getting mad at myself for something that is expected. I compare myself to other people way too much and worry about not being good enough. Thanks a lot for this video. Im currently in my second year set yo graduate in summer 2025

Good to hear other people’s perspective, for me it’s like I can’t stop eating

I wanna loose thigh fat and get a slim body but I keep losing track of eating healthy and I don’t wanna end up looking the fattest in my class…

I used to not care about my diet & would just eat at any time, whatever I wanted. But then I became really sick one time, & I didn’t eat for an entire week. After the week was over, I actually didn’t really feel hungry at all, if I would eat something, it’s like my stomach was rejecting it & I would get full so fast. I actually hated the fact that I had to eat everyday. I then became obsessed with counting calories, I lost a lot of weight by doing so, but I was also unhappy with the way I was still looking, I dropped over 25lbs & I was so happy with it. But every time I would eat anything at all, I felt so guilty. After 8 months I am still this same way, I don’t even eat 3 times a day, I just eat a very small plate at dinner & am still obsessed with counting calories. My entire family says it’s unhealthy, but my body just became so used to it, that I don’t even know if I’m going on a good track or if my health is just screwed up.

That an unhealthy amount of weight to lose. It’s bc your body was used to not eating a lot. If you start to reintroduce a normal amount of food slowly it will become more normal. I’m in anorexia recovery and in the beginning it was really hard for me to eat bc I wasn’t used to eating so much, but overcome it got easier and easier. Your body is meant to eat, it’s not meant to restrict and be starved.

Me and my friends are slowly developing EDs, and it's sad. I never eat brekafast because I'm never hungry in the mornings. Sometimes I can't even eat lunch sometimes and I've noticed that pattern with my friends too. That's why it makes me so happy to see videos like this of people sharing their journey.

The only person who knew about me purging food after eating was my bf and he was trying to get me to stop, I stopped for a bit but did it again in the bathroom of a restaurant my mom had caught me purging food when I was in the stall and told me off to my dad. (I am a minor) They both talked to me about the troubles that come with throwing up my food and I was good for at least 2-3 weeks, mainly because I was forced to keep the bathroom door open if I wasn't using the toilet or shower. I just started again yesterday and don't know what to do. Because I can't help but eat what I want to, then feeling guilt immediately after and purging whenever I have the chance to. I just threw up some minutes ago and feel guilty because this is the 5th time I've broken a promise to stop to my bf and 1 time breaking a promise to stop to my parents, and my friends that I had confided in. I don't know if I have an ED necessarily because I kind of feel like I don't. I genuinely don't know what to do because I also am trying to keep off weight and the weight I threw off was around 7lbs in almost a month from purging and I see my weight go back up on the scale and hate it. I'm sorry if this is confusing I just don't know what to do with myself. Edit; I also can't help but eat like everything I crave if I am able to, sometimes I'm able to starve myself for hours and eat something small after, but most of the time I can't and just eat and eat. Sugar is also addictive to me so I don't know what to do.

Hi guys. I wanted to share my story with you. If you are inerested, read forward. My best friend is struggling with anorexia. Before she had a perfect body. But her classmates made fun of her. I felt really bad for her. I always told her dont listen to them or they are just stupid, u look stunning*. But she started to skip meals, then she started losing her weight drastically. Now she looks really pale, skinny and without energy. She fell into depression. Her brother told me she is just crying all the time in her room. She never comes out. She had a phase when she didnt eat at all. All she did drink was water. No calories. Now her doctor told her she has to gain some weight because she will need to go to the hospital. She is really afraid of that. She has panic attacks and her behavior isnt the same anymore. All she says is sorry. But sometimes when we hang out she is really calm, energetic, fun and than she says *thank you I can feel i am fully relaxed with you right now, i cant be like that with anybody else and that just melts my heart. I once told her i understand her. She was really happy. But in the video it says this is what i should not say to a person who is struggling with eating disorser. But now how does this infect me? I cry myself to sleep every night. The doctor said her heart could stop. she is littraly my everything. I have family problems u wouldnt understand. she is my always go cry to, my always go laught to, my always safe place... i cant lose her guys. Please, pretty please tell me what should i do.

Mind sometimes is worst enemy.

Before someone in school came in and was like calories calories calories I was fine but after I was like that’s a lot of calories and I would do ‘small lunches’(I wouldn’t put enough food in my lunchbox) and for a while I stopped eating breakfast but I’m better now even though I feel like I’m fat

I have bulimia and I am going crazy. To the point where when forcefully puke, I hallucinate. My heart has been affected due to this and I cant tell anyone. I have formed an image for being the strongest and now I am ashamed of myself. My relationship with food is a diaster. I have pcos and cant lose weight even when trying in a healthy way. And it has been a trigger where I decided in my head that puking after eating is the only way to lose weight the stress in my life right now is also triggering for me.

It’s hard to remember what a normal plate looks like or how you should eat normally when you’ve been restricting yourself and starving your body. But it’s possible to get back to normal eating. What can help is looking at the people around you who have a healthy view of food bc they will eat as much as their body needs so maybe look at how they eat . And just cause your full doesn’t mean you’ve eaten enough or too much, when you start eating again it takes time for your body to get used to food again. Fight the ED voice, you can do it! You deserve to eat. Our bodies are meant to be fuelled not starved ❤

As someone who has anorexia and anxiety I wont be reaching out for help anytime soon because of my parents. Lately I have been trying to eat some of my fear foods. Yesterday I was trying to eat a cookie but the my dad came up to me and said, "seeeeee you don't have anorexia, you just want attention"

I’m so sorry your dad would say that. Sometimes parents don’t understand. I want you to know just because your dad said that doesn’t mean you don’t have an eating disorder and doesn’t mean you have to prove that you have an eating disorder to him or others, and I would feel the same way. Help is so important and so hard, but it’s a brave thing to do. Your body is meant to eat. It’s not meant to be starved. Recovery is hard I’m not going to lie, but so is starving your body. Recovery is so worth it hun. ❤

as someone starving due to acid reflux/severe emetophobia . all i can eat are cookies . (1 a day)

I remember reading Return of the Homework machine, but also remember plot points of The Homework Machine, so I think I read both of them? It was 3rd grade, okay?

Those candles are way too close to the cabinet ... 💀

i would set aside 900 calories a day, if i ate over that, i would deduct the amount for tomorrow’s calorie intake, it was so so toxic, i am still recovering, everyday it feels, but it does get better especially talking with a specialist

Can you get a binder instead? If you are overweight, slowly losing weight can help to achieve a flatter chest, but surgery and a binder is MUCH better than starving yourself.

😢 you will regret this so so much in 10 years. I sincerely hope you can get better, address your trauma, and accept yourself in every way.

you’re such a cutie omg

😭 was law stressful? I'm so afraid of not being able for it... I really hope I don't end up stress eating or forgetting to eat 😅

If I told my parents about it they’d say I’m doing it for attention or would yell at me

I’m sorry that they would say that. That’s not true even if they say that though. It’s important to get help though, even if it’s someone else who you trust a friend, family member, someone you look up to, etc. You deserve to eat . Our bodies are all meant to be fuelled with energy (food). Food is not the enemy

I am only 13 but I have had a ed sense I was 8 because my dad would call me fat and tell me not to eat I am starting to recover tho

I’m so proud of you for starting recovery. I can’t believe your dad would say such a thing, that’s awful. Sometimes people don’t know what they’re talking about or don’t understand what we’re going through even though they love us. You can do it! Im rooting for you!

It's easy when you're still thinspo category. When I tried to recover I looked like a whale. Never again. I either kms or let my ed kill me

I love youuu❤❤❤❤😊😊

well I can't get professional help any ways i can fix it?

I don’t want to eat cause I don’t want to be here anymore, not cause I “hate my body”

there are faster ways to solve that problem you know...

Please seek out Dr. John McDougall and Dr. Joel Fuhrman and Dr. Anthony Lim. They know exactly what your body is craving and how to get out of this spiral. “If you undereat on nutrients, you’ll overeat on calories.” - Dr. Fuhrman ❤ another great book to understand you body‘s reaction and to get your mind back on track is „The Pleasure Trap“
