Hello, I have OCD. And I felt the same way watching your video. That even though we both struggle with different things, I really felt like I understood what you were experiencing. Sort of like the rules you worked so hard to break all day long, I have compulsive behaviors that make me feel better, that I am constantly trying to challenge in order to overcome my OCD. Watching you work through each time you broke one of your rules was so inspiring to me and so powerful. You are an inspiration. And I’m so glad you took the rest of the night off. Because I felt your exhaustion. If I had done what you did during this video, I would need to crawl into bed and just watch a movie or go to sleep. You worked so so hard.

I vividly recall how difficult it was to let go of my illness and all of the associated weird habits and obsessions. You seem very self aware and wise, and seem to know what thoughts are unhealthy and how to fight them when they try to knock you of your path to recovery and freedom! Bravo!!! I’m rooting for you. Life is so much better without the Sisyphean burden imposed by the evil EDs. Keep hanging in there!! In time those pesky thoughts will dramatically reduce. You are still so young. Your whole life is ahead of you! Don’t waste time regretting your past! You have a wonderful future ahead of you. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Ro this is an old video but rewatching your stuff from the beginning of your recovery helps me so much, I'm finally embracing recovery (or trying to) after going back and forth between being really sick and stuck in quasi-recovery for almost 10 years and it's SO FREAKING HARD to work through it all. So much of this video resonated with me, how you felt like your ed stole so many years from you and felt sad for little girl you, I'm struggling to separate my identity from my ed and feel like I've wasted so much time being sick. But the way your mom says to be mad at the disorder not yourself was exactly what I needed to hear today! So I just want to say thank you for being so transparent and sharing your journey, you're reaching so many people and helping more than you could ever know. So proud of you Ro and how far youve come! xoxo

I’m so so proud of you. It’s really been hard not realizing or wanting to come to terms with having an eating disorder, and even not being diagnosed I can see that in the rituals and rules it’s all the same. You’re so inspiring and I wish you the best in your journey going forth. Thank you so much.

You definitely can but be gentle to yourself. It's a daily conscious effort but the best part is, as time passes, it gets easier. I quit cold turkey after 27 years of smoking (I started at 14 years old). The previous days were hard but I had to stop. I was feeling really bad like out of breath just taking my clothes off at night. Now I gained some weight, but I feel so much better that now I can actually exercise AND enjoy it.

Trigger Warning: not sure if that was an eating disorder or not, but there was a time where i hated my body. I counted calories, i skipped meals, i self harmed, and i even had panic attacks when i saw food. I remember crying because i felt something heavy in my head that wouldn't let me be happy. It was the saddest part of my life and now i know that whenever i feel like that again i will just watch your videos💗 Tysm Ro.

I've not been having a great time regarding my recovery lately, so seeing you do so amazingly at it is truly, truly inspiring. Your parents are so supportive as well, I really appreciate them. Every time I hear you say 'This is actually really nice' I feel like it's a win for you, and that alone is so unbelievably lovely to see. In a way, I feel like I'm learning with you to achieve all these little steps, and this is exactly what I wanna let you know: You're incredibly inspiring. And I wish nothing but the best for you.

Your commitment to recovery and building a healthy relationship with food is inspiring.
