abi has also helped me so much❤urs and her videos have been such a motivating part of my recovery (:

Two days in a row, awesome Demi.

I think you are doing so well!!! I really relate to you as i am currently trying to recover from anorexia which has haunted me for over 20 years! You literally listed all my favourite KZfaqrs! Im going down the emily Spence/Tabitha route as literally nothing else has worked for me personally. Its been really challenging but at the same time really freeing! I feel like the greater the challenge the less fear in a strange way?! Like having an extra banana a day would cause huge anxiety but added peanut butter, cereal, butter, bread ect would cause the same stress so i may as well enjoy it! Im trying to listen to ky body ehich again is a challenge! Like you i gravitate toward 'healthy' foods. But when im honest with myself i just want five guys burgers!!

love this video demi! for me the mental part of recovery has definitely been the hardest, it just feels like im stuck in this mindset which sucks but all hard work will definitely be worth it in the end ❤ sending you love and thank you for your videos!! x

So proud if your process ❤

Regarding your answer about "always liking" whole/real foods ... consider that you've been ill since you were a young teen. Quite a lot of your life. Maybe this is a great time for you to challenge yourself with trying those other foods: more processed items, fast food etc. They are more highly palatable (read: easier to eat and digest), as well as being higher in fat/calories which you need right now. Remember that no food is bad for you compared to what anorexia and maintaining a restrictive eating disorder doss to you. Life means enjoying all the foods! And you deserve it

I love how real and open you are ❤️

hi, appreciate you answering all those questions, find it really helpful and interesting to get you know better, so please do another one like this video :) recommend challenging more pre-made/ready meals and foods, maybe you could challenge that for a week or mon-fri to eat a takeout/pre-made meal at lunch time?... would be fun to watch too!:) even local sandwich shops and cafes are a super good alternative as usually they have the unknown calories so you really can get the option your true self really desire and not the lowest calorie/safest option:)

Thanks for this video....on my own recovery journey (again 😢) & always nice knowing Im not alone It's actually scary how many of ur answers were exactly what Id say if I was doing the Q&A 🥰 keep fighting hun 💖 xx

I cant tell you how much I loved this video. it's so nice to kind of listen to someone you relate to. I was sectioned too without knowing and it really betrayed my trust, so I can understand your pain. it's honestly horrible, as we had no choice or say. Also im so sorry that "professional" said that to you, some people just aren't trained with eating disorders. anyways, cant wait for part 2! and the challenging meal deal videos as thats something I struggle with two. also we are twinning on the oats! idk they are my safe food too lol

I am so sad to hear your trauma in care. I also have that, and the damage it did, linger decades after it happened. One doctor recently said "the abuse you where put through" about it, and that was such help to hear a DOCTOR saying that. Everybode before her, just said "you needed" or "they would not do anything that was not proper or needed". But yes, in psychiatric care especially, it is common. I got severe bulimia and worse anorexia from my inpatient "care": Mentally I was changed and ready to eat, after a experience that woke me up. I was so badly treated, given such wrong amounts of food (I need over 3000 kcal, and got 1800, did not gain weight and then was accused to lie lie lie lie lie lie - even though dietician said they had to give me more food than needed for some 80 years old telly watching lady - I am over 6 feet tall and really active with my dogs). I got blod cloths from not beeing allowed to move a lot (coming from that active dog sports life). They let me go for 4 or 5 weeks with obstipation, saying laxatives was abuse (what were their behaviour not letting me poop AT ALL for 4-5 weeks then, threatening with force feeding when I simply just couldnt fill my poop filled stomach any more?) Such a relief after all these years to hear a real doctor calling my "care" for what it was, abuse. When I got home from that ED care long time ago, I was still anorectic, but also bulimic, and had lost my will to get better. I always wonder what would of me now if I did not go to that care. Please, everyone who read: PLEASE try help yourself 100 % If you succeed with that, you wont get that damaging trauma. You will also have to deal a lot less with illness benefits like "health care, the system, therapists just cares about me if thin enough" The latter is why I am not talking to people at all about my ED during my relapses. I want to get out of it as fast as I can. Those weird illness benefits are powerful, and we have to recognize them. It took me many years to realize this even existed and was a real problem for me.

What ur dr said happens to me all time off therapists or health care ppl over the years so just let it go over our heads xx

You've mentioned recovery coach Tabitha Farrar a few times. Correct pronunciation is Taahh bi tha.

I've been through re-feeding syndrome many times. I've also been in a coma from it. I don't know how to recover but I desperately want to. What helped you the most?

Your lipstick is really pretty 🩷❤️

Travelling is a hobby ! I did it for 12 years on and off and with my eating disorder as usual beside me 😂😂x

here's some questions: what's one thing you wish you could tell your past self? what's the best thing recovery has given you so far? what's the worst food inpatient served you as once I got served this green pie which had like lentils and cheese It was so random lol. any goals for the future? how is adult inpatient services as im nearly getting transferred from cahms as im nearly 18. and what's your favourite food since recovery?

lol THE CHEESE! omg Demi we have to challenge this together

What was the first sign when you started doing disordered habbits?

and how many rest days you have per week? do you still go on walks on rest days?

How do you structure your meals and snacks and how do you decide weather something is a snack or a meal.. around how many kcal do you aim a snack or meal to be and how long should there be intetween to classify something as a 'new meal/snack' rather than part of something you had shortly before' . I struggle with this like if I have a coffee with soy milk I feel I should count it as a snack but of course for normal people it's not a snack.. Or if I have what feels like a meal, for a normal person that would be a snack kcal wise. Or if I have eat something but then reasonably soon after have something extra do I count that extra as part of the meal or is that a separate snack? Like if I have a coffee with milk in the morning but don't have breakfast until like 45-1h later then I feel the coffee was it's own 'snack' and therefore it feels to soon to have breakfast (bc two meals to close together), but it feels to far apart that the coffee was part of breakfast if you know what I mean.. Same if I have coffee before lunch or so I get in this pickle that it feels like I'm having 'snacks/meals' to close together but too far apart to belong together as snack/meal.

Love this kind of video! Think you’d like the youtuber Katia GT 💕

Never clicked so fast x

Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought you had stopped exercising besides short walks? X
