Love this. Last night I honored my hunger & picked up a bag of mini chocolate muffins (we have a huge box of them, my dad takes some to work). He came into my room with the biggest smile on his face & gave me a fist bump. He said he'll get the other flavors so we can try them together. He was So happy. It made me realize how much I was hurting not only myself but my family with this disorder. Little things like that make the process easier. Recovery really is so worth it

Tonight at dinner I had a BLT sandwich, and I ate as much as i could, and had some of my dad’s lasagna. I told him I was full but was gonna have a little extra, and I could tell that made him happy. Dads care about us so much, and worry tons, sometimes they just don’t know how to go about asking or expressing concerns. You’re going great beautiful, those chocolate muffins were probably delicious 🥰❤️

My dad would have done ~ Breakfast: toast soldiers Snack: trail mix Lunch: tomato soup with saltines, sweet pickles, baby carrots with dip Snack: mango Dinner: veggie burger with cheese on the bbq (mustard, ketchup, garden tomatoes, dill pickles), milk Snack: microwave popcorn My dad passed away unexpectedly after a surgery in 2017 when I was 39. We had a tumultuous relationship because he didn't know how to deal with the brevity of my ED, and it became increasingly so when my Mother developed cancer and all his energy and love went into "protecting" her from the stress of dealing with (essentially) me. We fell away from each other despite my efforts to stay connected, and he died after having not spoken to me in 4 months, not knowing how much I longed for his love, support, approval, not knowing how I believed he hung the moon, not knowing how much I would have loved for him to have participated in my recovery like this, Keep going, Ro. PS I had a dream not that long ago that I was eaten by a giant horrifying piranha and spit out like Jonah in the Bible

I'm sorry for your loss Maggie. I understand your pain. I lost my dad to COVID back in 2020. He went into the hospital the day after I finished treatment and I can't help but feel guilty that his last months alive were spent taking care of me.

Crying does not mean that the video is not positive. I am a very anxious person who bottles most of my feelings because I want to keep everyone else calmed and happy, and crying when I get overwhelmed helps me a lot. If I was not a crier I feel like I would be in such a bad place. Thank you for every video and I wish you the best Ro! You are so strong ❤️

Yes! Crying and being real/vulnerable in your video is actually so positive and healthy, for you and for everyone watching!

Let me just point out how much more energy you’ve gotten since the beginning - you smile, sing and it’s lovely to see. There’s such a huge mental change (strength ) lots of love and support !!

It always makes me happy to see you finish your food, I always feel self conscious every time I finish my food, like "everyone leaves something out" or "no one eats everything in their plate"... but seen you finish a meal always makes me feel less alone... and like "yeah, people do finish their meals" thank you Ro for always inspiring me to always keep pushing forwards😊

@RoMitchell

i used to think that too!! everyone finished their meals, unless they’re completely full which i never am :,) xx

I love your relationship with your dad and although his choices are freaking you out, you clearly trust him and his humour and banter helps you through it which I love. Sometimes seeing the lighter side of the Ed is actually helpful, along with the type of encouragement your mum gives. Stating the facts and reassuring you. Your parents are amazing as everyone always says, however it's still YOU that's doing recovery so flipping well done for constantly rising to the challenge 💯💪

Yesss who else here is tuning in for original recovery content? This one is literally getting me sentimental, my parents have been utterly amazing during my recovery but my lovely dad has practically dedicated his life to getting me better and prepares all my meals ! I feel so lucky and this video reminds me of that . (Ok soppy bit over the daughter-dad CHEMISTRY is on point!!)

I just ate a full dinner AND ice cream which is huge for me and felt so guilty for feeling guilty if that makes sense Seeing that you struggle too and that not a single healing in this world is linear has really helped me :) thank you so much! Also: who agrees that ro‘s dolly impersonation was actually not bad rather pretty good?? Greetings from Germany

Omg the difference in the energy she has now compared to the first videos is amaaaaazing, congratulations Ro, you are doing incredible, so proud. ❤

As you know it’s completely fine to have a bagel for snack. The more your mind focuses on something that feels scary and overwhelming, the bigger that food appears. It’s like the anorexic brain zooms in on it and makes it appear 10x bigger than in reality. Watching this video has given me so much strength and motivation, so thank you Ro. The fact that you felt the fear but chose to do it anyway proves that you’re winning. I’m so proud of you and to see your dad so excited about preparing your food makes me feel so happy!! 🥰🥰🥰

As a mom your parents support has me in tears every time 🥺

I have just realised that going to the toilet before every meal is an ED thing! I’m in recovery and I thought it was normal to do this but hearing Ro saying the same thing made me realise. I’m glad I’m not alone!

I heard a lot of “I shouldn’t be feeling like this or I shouldn’t be panicking” and want to say to y’all that it is okay to feel whatever you’re feeling. To invalidate our emotions and thoughts will only make them stronger. Whenever I’m having an uncomfortable emotion or thought I remind myself that they shall pass as everything in life, that they come because they have something to tell me and I must learn from them and then let go. It is a long process to learn to validate ourselves, it is even more challenging to do it with uncomfortable emotions, every single one of them is valid. Stay safe, feel, cry, scream and then take a long breath and move forward, you can do this and are stronger than you think.

Thanks for always keeping it real.. By showing your emotions and struggles and talking through them u let others with the same issues see that it's okay to have them.. It's all part of the journey to full recovery. I have a tremendous amount of respect for you and what you do!

Also that video was lovely and you’re doing so great🥰 you don’t even know but you’re helping so many people who struggle

Just watched one of your first videos and you crushed your fears. I am so happy to see you recovering. You're glowing with energy. Food is good for us. It's our fuel so we can live our lives. You can be proud!

you have such a beautiful soul and are doing an amazing job in your recovery! so proud of you xx

You are literally a breath of inspiration and motivation to me, Ro. Thank you so much and keep on being the fantastic human being that you are.

You did great, Ro. I absolutely love how supportive your parents are. You are truly blessed. 💕

you’re literally glowing💗💗💗

I love that you post videos Ro, your such an inspiration & such a strong person to look up to, & remind myself of you & things you’ve said that are sooo true but just isn’t said enough. So INSANELY proud of u, tons of people are thank you for being you! Your only getting stronger & stronger Ro I can tell ok goodbye:)

I love the suspense and also you breaking into song. Love seeing the joy and excitement and life seeping out so much more than it used to. 💃💃💃

I actually LOVE to see this. Youve come such a long way and its transferring to all areas of your life; trusting relationships, having fun with friends, more freedom. You deserve the absolute world, youve worked so damn hard to get here. Also your parents 😍

I really can see myself in you and seeing you fighting this is making me think that I can too. You are doing so good and I'm so proud because I now how hard it is. I love your videos and you're motivating me to fight untill I am free.

I got so emotional watching you at the end, I hope you felt better the next day

This is incredibly sweet love seeing the support from your family ❤️

never clicked on a video so quickly- wow, i’m so incredibly proud of you ro! you’re honestly smashing it!!! step by step, day by day, to get little ro’s smile back :) 💛

The toilet thing is so relatable…you are strong ro you can do it I’m proud of you and you’ve helped me thru my recovery with your video’s ❤️

Seeing your humor coming out is so amazing! Keep up the great work!

you are helping so many people!!! you are so strong💞💞💞💞

as soon as I saw you on screen I was in awe at how beautiful you are!!! you’ve inspired me so much throughout recovery and I’m so thankful for you

you are literally the most calming person i can imagine and i love listening to you :)

Thank you so much ro for inspiring myself and others with your positive and motivating videos. I’ve been watching you for months and seen how far you’ve come. I know you will recover, and I wish you luck till the end :)

Ro you are amazing and your family is soo sweet thank you so much for sharing your recovery you truly inspire us to be better ily💜

Love how your fun, joking, singing character shows more through in every video 😁💁‍♀️👾

Thank you for making these videos. Your personality is so kind and warm and it feels so nice to sit with you during your meals and recovery, even when your struggling. It's so brave of you to not cut those parts out and to share the ups and the downs. It's so inspiring seeing you learn to love eating food with your family again and repair your relationship with food and your body. I don't have anorexia, but I've struggled with restrictive eating, feelings of guilt with eating, bulimia and binging disorder since high school (I've finally started talking to a professional about it) and I feel like you talk on a lot of issues that I relate to. You've reminded me how much I love pb and bananas and they're ok to eat, how each meal should be taken as it's own entity and you shouldn't feel guilty for enjoying your food and nourishing your body. I'm on the opposite ends of the spectrum from you as I am obese and working on losing weight rather than gaining, but your videos remind me than I'm not alone and that it is possible to heal my relationship with food and my body, so thank you so much for being you and sharing your journey with us :)

Omg the going to the bathroom thing before eating a meal....same. Thank you for bringing it up. Also please don’t ever apologize for crying! This stuff is hard and you’re doing amazing!

What an amazing day you had! I am so proud of you for all that you have accomplished! I love how much you and your family support and love each other. It really comes through in all of your videos! How lovely that you were able to be there for that poor dog! Well done!! You are such a caring, compassionate and wonderful human being. I'm so happy that the love and care you show for others (dogs and kittens included lol), you are now showing yourself as well! You deserve to happy and healthy! Once again well done! You should definitely be proud of yourself. What a great day! Big hugs xoxox

It's awesome you have such a consistently supportive family ❤ your food always looks so good.

Hi Ro, you’re so genuine! Also feel like a friend because we’re both from the U.K. I’ve been struggling with intrusive thoughts and the anxiety comes over me and I want to do compulsions, I kinda see it as a little similar as you have to go against what your brain REALLY wants. So thank you because I think a lot of people will be helped by your strength to always carry on.

It’s amazing to see how far you have come 🥺🥺

Your family is so lovely and supportive and speaks to one another so kindly 🥺

i cant explain how much i love and admire you, ro! you got such a good and relaxing vibe, watch your videos is my therapy. You are so so so strong, keep going and be happy! ilysm

That "you go girl" got me tearing up, you have the best most supportive parents! So sweet ❤️

This was so beautiful to watch, seeing you proud of yourself for eating the scary dinner was incredibly inspirational. You are doing an amazing job!

incredible video as always, Ro. you are an utter gem

Watching you recover gives me actual joy. You are so strong, thank you for all the positivity ❤

i was feeling a bit down like you at the end of the video but your final thoughts helped me a lot, I cried too but with a smile because i know eating disorders are not my friends. Thank you for that reminder Ro, sometimes i forgot those things. Sending u lots of hugs 💗

your parents love you so much, this is such a beautiful act of service and support

You seem so happy Ro 🥺 I’m making breakky while I watch this and sending love from Australia 💞

Yaaaas I was waiting for a new video im so happy!!! Watching this while having dinner myself 🌞

I love your recovery videos because not only do they make me feel like I deserve to eat and not feel guilty but they also make me want to try new things! There’s so many amazing foods out there that we shouldn’t be afraid of!!

Ro, you’re amazing! You inspire me, with every video you make, to continue to have a healthy relationship with food. Thank you!

I actually can’t explain how proud of you and everybody else working this hard in recovery at whatever the pace that’s works for them is, It literally makes me smile thinking of it

Your family is incredible. It is wonderful to watch everyone healing and celebrating together. ❤️

Absolutely love seeing you get your life back! ❤️

Just watched your challenging food habits video and wanted to see how you were progressing and let me just say you are GLOWING. The transformation between the two videos in just a few months has my heart so happy. I am so proud of you & you have now become a new inspiration for me. Wishing you the best.

ro, u seriously inspire me everyday, my family got subway for dinner tonight n i’m rly rly scared n was planning on skipping out on it, but i watched this videos n i ended up have a couple of bites (too stressful to eat it all so i had some toast after) thank u my lovely n i’m so proud of u !!
