Time genuinely goes so fast. Imagine if this was reversed - she got to do a reaction video to the u now , more independent and free and living with friends and a happy relationship. She’d be speechless ♥️

I think the most amazing transformation I’ve witnessed from this whole journey is watching your Personality blossom. I remember watching your first videos and thinking how quiet, sad, and how little you let your presence take up in the space around you. I’m so happy this journey has allowed not only people to get to know you but to watch YOU get to know YOU. The loud, silly and creative you! I love to see it! sending you the tightest hugs. Keep blossoming 🌱xx

thanks for the loveliest comment. hugs xxx
i think this video was so popular was because it’s so real, it’s so raw. there’s so much perfected, filtered content on youtube that where everything looks and sounds perfect. when you hear the crisps bag and the background noises, it’s almost like you’re really there with her.

Completely agree. 100%!!!!
The most striking difference to me is in your eyes. Your eyes have become so bright and full of life now! Your skin and hair are also completely different now, brighter skin and fuller hair! I’ve recently relapsed due to a huge stress in my life, so come back to your channel to feel inspired to recover. 31 years I’ve had an eating disorder. I just want a life and some damn energy. I’m so tired all the time. It’s frustrating. I’m on the waiting list for trauma therapy for complex PTSD, if I lose any weight I’ll be taken off the list. I can’t let that happen, thanks for inspiring to try again ❤

A video on committing to recovery even when weight gain is not such a priority anymore would be really helpful. Now that I'm a 'healthy weight' I do find it harder to justify sticking to my meal plan when I don't have the mantra 'I need to gain weight' to fall back on. x

If you can, you need to change the voice to : i want to take care of my body, i want to enjoy life to the fullest, a car can't drive without petrol and so can't i, my appareance doesn't define me. Also is this a stage in recovory to let go of your mealplan a little ans try to eat the things you want at that moment, and then dont listen to what the ED whants (lower calorie, light, less, etcetera)
I remember watching your first video when I was inpatient for the first time. I remember comparing myself to you (EDs are so competitive as you obviously know!) and now I can't believe the progress we've BOTH made. It gives me so much hope to see someone do so well, and it motivates me to fully recover. If you, someone who struggled with an ED for much longer than I did, can recover, then so can I. I'm so so incredibly proud of you and thank you. Much love from Canada

Can completely relate to not recognising the ill version of ourselves. I get this when I look at ill photos and also when I think back to the way I behaved and the fears and rules I had around food. It's like I was possessed by the illness quite literally!
You have come so far and we are all extremely proud of you! Thank you for going through this process online for us all to see that it is possible to overcome

It’s funny seeing the little flashes of genuine Ro personality in the first video beginning to break back through. I remember watching those videos when they first came out and hoping you made it through. So so glad that you did.
Ro, I think a video about stomach bloating and this part of recovery would be really helpful. I'm dealing with it, but it is really hard every day having this feelings. I would totally appreciate it.
Your hair is so much shinier and fluffier now! You're absolutely glowing with health. Your skin and eyes are so much brighter, too. Congratulations on your recovery, you've done fantastic work! You're truly an inspiration, ups and downs included. You've provided such an honest and refreshing take on recovery and shone a bright light for others at the end of the tunnel. We started recovery at a similar time and your videos made me feel less alone, and made scary meal times much more manageable having someone "there with me". Thank you for what you do. Keep shining, love!
It’s crazy how time flies, you are genuinely the best version of yourself once in recovery and this goes to everyone struggling with any ed:))

So excited to watch this new video !! Thank you for all these videos and your hard work Ro. All the support you’re giving each and everyone of us is just amazing, so I really hope that we can support and help you as well in any way possible ! Please always remember that you can take all the rest you need and there is absolutely no need to worry about not posting every week or taking breaks ! Please feel free to take a break whenever you feel like it. Your happiness and overall (mental) health is the most important thing. I wish you all the best and I am more than proud of you. You did great today and as always, you look absolutely stunning :) xxx
i am so proud of you, so proud of all of us who went through this! recovering is indeed the best thing ive ever done in my life
i subbed to you when you posted your very first video! i loved you (and i think others did too) because you were so authentic and kind, and comforting in an odd way? although i’ve never struggled with a legitimate eating disorder, something about watching you and supporting your journey felt like i was supporting a friend. and with every video, as you got a little step farther and celebrated your little wins, i felt like i could celebrate mine too, and you gave me so much hope and still do. it’s incredible to see how far you’ve come.
It's weird how one can feel so proud of somebody they never met. Every time I see you smile, see you with friends, see you enjoying (even the tiniest bit) I just feel a pang of proudness through my body. You are doing this!
Super proud of you. Thank you so much for inspiring us and bringing us along on your journey. You have no idea how much you've helped. Much love ❤️❤️
It’s so amazing to see you on the other side, I’m so proud of how far you’ve come ❤️
I remember watching this video when it first came out - when I too was only just beginning recovery. I actually feel like I’ve grown alongside you, so thank you for making these videos 💗
i am in tears. you give me (+ many others) SO much hope for the future. you’re a beacon of light in the recovery community. thank you ❤️
This gives me so much hope, everytime I feel like recovery isn't worth it I watch one of your videos because you prove that it always is 💗
I’ve watched since day 1 and you are an incredibly strong person and you are helping so many others on their recovery !
I love your early videos. You are so real and so forthright in them- you were desperate to recover by any means necessary and I truly believe that’s what resonated with so many people. 💜
ugh this is so encouraging to see how far you’ve come!!! i’m so happy and proud for u ❤ i struggle currently w binge eating disorder which is kinda on the other side of the spectrum in some ways, but watching your journey and how you tackled recovery actually is really inspiring for me and has helped a lot on my own recovery (which is still ongoing lmao, but im in a better spot than i’ve been in the past at least) finding a healthy relationship w food again is harddddd so it’s so encouraging to see that it’s possible !
This video was so emotional to watch so I can’t even imagine how it felt for you to look back at your old struggles, I’m so proud of you for getting to this point, love you Roisin
To see you and your recovery in this past year, I feel so inspired! I'd say I'm a lot further in recovery now than when I first started following you, and I still have a way to go, but your videos are really what inspire me to make a final push. Knowing that I'm not alone and that other people can do it too!
I’ve been here since the start and you have helped me so much in my recovery. I remember watching ur earlier videos so deep in my eating disorder, thinking I wouldn’t ever recover. Im so proud with how far you’ve come :,) ur doing amazing ro. We love u
Watching you heal has been so wonderful. Your parents have always warmed my heart with their support ❤️ So many of us did not have that and we all needed it.
I’ve been watching this channel for so long! This made me realize. Also you’ve helped me not go into an eating disorder I didn’t even know was developing. So. Thank you!
ur genuinely like the coolest person ever for so many reasons but especially your recovery I look up to you so much you're such an icon
You are genuinely the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen. I’ve been watching you from the beginning and it’s been incredible to see you get your life back. You’ve helped me and so many other people so much
It’s so amazing to see how far you’ve come. You should be so proud of yourself for not giving up on that girl that so desperately needed to nourish her body and soul. Lots of love 🤎🤎🤎
I've been there since this video and you've come so far! It is so so motivating to see that and you've helped me so much, so thank you ❤️
I’ve followed since the first video and have been recovering with your videos the whole time! It’s amazing how far you’ve come and I hope to reach my goals soon! Thank you for your content ☺️
girl you are glowing, I'm so happy to see how much progress you've made. I feel similarly looking back at old journals!
Oh my god. you and literally your parents as well have helped me in my early recovery soso much, I can’t even describe it. Love you
That video was actually the first I saw of yours and I remembered feeling so proud for this girl I didn’t even know. You have come so far and has been very inspiring to thousands of people and you really should give the greatest thanks to yourself 💜 (and your amazing parents ofc)
This is amazing! So proud of you! Look how far you have come, you should be incredibly proud of yourself, you made it you beautiful human being xxx
You’ve come so far ☺️ Seeing how much more energy and happiness you have is such a good reminder of how worth it recovery is, but it’s so difficult. So proud x❤️🙏
I'm so so proud of you and work you've done. I was in very similar position to your's and I remember watching your videos while eating. Seeing you now is just incredible and makes me want to cry. I remember recording myself when I was in a really bad condition and your old video remind me of that. It's so scary how even a simple smile was a challenge not mentioning walking or talking. I'm so glad that we can finally see how horrible this disorder is and thank you for inspiring me!
It's just so wonderful to see the changes you've made, both mentally and editing wise lol Seriously thank you so much for starting this channel! I was at my lowest point when I started watching you more than a year ago and I've always been a person of affirmations and good thinking, it all helped me to reach recovery and even though I struggle sometimes, knowing that I made it this far, and knowing you wouldn't give up so easily motivates me to keep on track
It's wonderful for you to see how far you have come, and best of all be proud of it. You look so much healthier and happier now, and it is clear that will continue far into the future. Fingers crossed you can overcome those final anorexic feelings soon so you can finally leave that part of your life behind and fully embrace the newfound view on life this has given you. You are still such an inspiration for so many, myself included, and you showing us recovery is possible is more precious than any self-help resource out there. Thank you Ro! Xx
You’re such an inspiration Ro, it’s amazing seeing how far you’ve come ❤
This was so emotional for me to watch. I consider myself 90% recovered now, and I completely relate about look back at a past version of myself who I genuinely don’t recognise. I was crying at the end, it’s so beautiful to see your growth, and just know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, your videos helped me so much in my journey so thank you❤️🥺💗💘🌸
Been watching from the start and it's crazy how fast that times has gone! You've done so incredible 💙
RO!!! i actually started watching your vids pretty shortly after you uploaded that very first one, and i just now rediscovered your channel and ngl i totally got emotional from seeing this too! you've come so so far and im so happy to see u in a better place now :(
I remember your old videos, and this literally made me cry im so proud of you, and your younger self would be too !
It's amazing how far you've come mentally. You seem so more confident and happy and free these days. What an amazing job you have done getting here! It's been a long struggle for sure. But you're doing so well.
you are such an inspiration!! You have inspired and saved so many ppl. I love you sm.
I watched that first video and I was so impressed by how far you had come then. So happy to see how much further you progressed and were you are now! Also, your personality was already showing in that first video and that is why it took off. And because you were brave enough to show your inner struggle to help others understand those who suffer from eds better. I think your parents might have had a little part in it as well, because I personally was really impressed by the way they supported you through every meal.
this made me go and look back at some of my old, private videos I recorded when I was at my worst. It’s really eye opening to see, how far I’ve come - and I’m so thankful for trusting the process. Thanks for reminding me to keep fighting Ro ❤️❤️
the way you speaks shows how much hard work you’ve put into recovery and your videos are a great motivation for me to further fix my relationship with food. thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your experiences. you are really helping make a change, even if its small. also your hair looks so beautiful like this
Wow, I haven't watched your videos for a while but for some reason this video randomly showed up on my recommendations list today. Ro, you look amazing!! It's unbelievable to see the difference between where you were then and where you are now!
perspective is everything. it's amazing watching you look back and see how much you've grown. my fave part of those old videos was listening to your family's encouragement at the table. it was so heartwarming.
it’s so amazing how far you’ve come!! I’m literally here since that first video and I am so proud of you Ro💖
I saw your first video and I'm so proud of you! You have come such a long way and you have made wonderful progress! Thank you for being brave and sharing your journey!
I just watched that video and straight onto this one, and my goodness girl you’re GLOWING!! In the other video you were beautiful, but your eyes are sparkling now! Keep smashing it girl, such an inspiration
You are the most SHINING light of guts and grace and your determination gives me hope. Thank you for everything you do and share. I rewatched your full day of fear foods video recently and thought how much id love to see you remake your old challenges like that one and genuinely ALL IN smash them. You were so brave with what you did but I'd just love to see how much peanut butter Now You would be happy with, compared to back then. You are amazing Ro and thank you so much to your parents for being an ever supportive voice of wisdom in your videos (for those of us who don't have that themselves! 💖💖 It's meant a lot to me to share yours) xxxx
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE proud!!! Love how brilliant you are. You inspire me every day!!♥️♥️
wow!!!!! this gives me so much hope this made me so emotional how much youve changed and grown and became a incredible girl !! i cant believe it either
You currently just radiate strength. Your transformation is truly inspiring.
I love how your parents were handling this! They're being so open with the topic and really supportive and helpful and remaining calm, even though it certainly can't have been easy for them either.
Been watching from the start and words cannot describe how incredibly proud I am of you! This gives me so much hope and I know it does to many others. Keep shining lovely! ❤️
It's so calming to see your videos, I love them because they truly do help me stop stressing about food a little bit when I'm feeling worse. Today I've been feeling off, but just watched this and feeling much calmer. Thank you 😊
I love seeing you smile and glow right now! I saw some of your videos way back and related to them in a completely different way (specific phobia related avoiding behavior) and was so proud of you for how you challenged your anorexia, because I could see how much fear it induced. Coming from my own phobia, I know how extremely hard it is to challenge that fear again and again, day after day. Wow, I am excited for you and I feel proud of you, it is great to see you smile and in such a good place!
Oh yay I'm so excited I've been waiting. You're just in time too. Today's been a rough day for recovery. You always make it easier
Watching this made me really happy. To see the contrast and how much more joyful you are. Makes me wanna hug you. You are doing so well and that's just so amazing. I'm really Happy for you. I am at a way more healthy point in life now too. The contrast in this video just shows that you recover for a good reason and that we should never want to go back. Love you so much and thanks for everything :)
I can't believe I was there when you started and now I'm watching you make this video. You're literally glowing! I can't thank you enough really, that one video helped me recover and now I'm fully recovered!! Thanks
omg i just watched that video last week i believe, and just now got this one recommended to me and it makes me so happy!! im so glad you’re doing better
it’s so great to see you now: relaxed, diverse facial expressions, humor and many things more. Congratulation that you made it!!! 😃 You can be so proud and happy, even in difficult moments.
wow you are glowing! i only watched your first videos back then & i‘m so proud of you and your journey!💓
I am so so SO proud of how far you've come ❤ I was going down a slippery slope just before finding your channel and you helped me recover & I can't thank you enough. Cheers Ro, you inspire so many and you should feel proud of yourself ❤ you look absolutely stunning, youthful and just so beautiful PS- I still absolutely love biscoff spread and wont deny myself of it anymore ❤
I’ve watched you from your early days and it’s been so inspiring to see you grow🙃
i found you from quite the start and im mean look how far you had come and iam soo proud of you( not even the universe is so huge) ;)♥️ keep on going i think with your personality you can do everything

This is now my favorite video of yours. Wow. I feel so honored to listen to your thoughts on your old self. Such valuable information
Must be so strange to watch yourself back like this. It's so lovely to see how your mindset and whole demeanor has changed. I remember watching this video when you first put it on KZread. I had no idea how your recovery was going to go but I was SOOOO hopeful that you would be able to do it. So proud of the progress you've made so far. I know life isn't rainbows and butterflies but it has definitely changed for the better in so many ways 💪❤️ so glad you chose to be brave and challenged yourself constantly in recovery 🙏 thank you for continuing to make these videos as I know how helpful I find them, certainly during an unexpected relapse last year. You're a 🌟 xx Loving your curtain bangs. Really suits you, your hair looks so lovely and healthy compared with this first video ❤️ Also very jealous of your very healthy looking cheese plant!! Lol
You are SO BEAUTIFUL inside and out. It's amazing. I've watched you for a while now on this journey, probably since the video you're reacting to here was recommended to me shortly after it's release, and I always saw you as a beautiful and sweet person, but the difference side by side is absolutely insane to see. You have healed and it's visible now how radiant you're becoming having put the work in to heal yourself. Amazing amazing amazing!!! Sending nothing but love and light ☀♥
I remeber watching this Video so vividly and then following you since then. Ive loved seeing your progress. I live how honest you shared your Problems and how you sometines struggled, but at the same time how Hard you fought. Really inspirering
This video made me cry. For all of us who had or still have ED thank you for sharing your journey and making us feel less alone ❤️
I can't tell you how amazing you look. You're so beautiful and you can just tell how far you've come in recovery. It's incredible and so inspiring. I love you so much ro
so crazy to see how far you’ve come, forever my inspiration i love you ro🫶🫶🫶
You are glowing! ✨ And you are so brave for overcoming this, really. I struggle since 18 years with anorexia and bulimia and I appreciate you so much ♥️
Oh my gosh, I watched your fear foods video back when you first posted it, and I was deep down in my own ED at the time. Your video helped kickstart something in me, cause deep down I was sick of it all too and hated where my life was and was headed. So thank you so much, I'm on the other side with you and it feels, ironically, so much lighter! ❤️
It’s actually amazing how untriggering this video was! so many of these sorts of videos dredge up bad habits and thoughts but this is so positive 💛
You look so radiant. I'm proud so of you. When I started watching your videos, I was dealing with depression. I've come out of it now, but your videos were very comforting. I felt less alone, knowing that you were trying to get healthier and in my own way, I was trying to be healthier too. I'm happy for you.
Honestly Ro you are glowing! You're skin is flawless, your hair, I want it lol, and you have the most pretty eyes. I'm so happy for you. I remember watching this video when it first uploaded and was invested in your journey and you've come so far. Very proud of you🥰
wow i remember watching that video awhile back, i believe this is the first time that i am directed back to your channel since i watched that one and you seem so much happier and healthier and i just want to say that i am so proud of you, you made an amazing recovery. you seem so lively, and lovely!! 🌸
you’re absolutely gorgeous and glow from the inside out ro! i hope you’re as proud of yourself as we are 🥰
its so nice to see you finally happy and being more like yourself
You look amazing it's so weird to go back in time and see the amount of change you have went through so proud of you. I think it always feels awkward to see our old selves I might add that nobody cares about the editing the video got so much attention because it was real a real struggle from a real person and you showed us how to kick A×× at conquering your fears and demanding your life back, the fact that you can even show yourself as a vulnerable human being and share that with others to encourage other people to recover and take their lives back so that something like this does not control their lives in itself is incredibly brave you really have come a very long way.
This video is heartwarming!! Congrats on your recovery 😊.
I am honestly so proud of you! You have accomplished so much
One of the things that got me in this video is how supportive your parents are throughout. They’re like your cheerleaders and it’s a beautiful thing to see. Love that ❤️
So proud of you Ro! 💞 I too understand the hardships of ed recovery. Even though I also get ed thoughts from time to time, Ive conquered nearly all my fear foods. I can finally eat freely, which makes recovery SO worth it. These days I find myself feeling nostalgic and grieving for the girl I was before my ed, before it took away my identity. I don’t know why, but does anyone else relate? It’s hard to accept that the past me is no longer me, and that in order to move on, I should treat this as a loss. What should I do? Should I grow and become a new version of myself,or is my past self still here?
How incredible that you have this footage to look back on and see just how far you have come. You should be so insanely proud of yourself, and like others have said, it gives us all that bit more hope that we can get through this hell of an illness. The other side is out there, so thank you.
