I had a huge break down today because I ate something I considered to be "too greasy", but y'know what Ro? I kept going, because cool people don't give up and you're the cool people I'm talking about

i totally agree with you when you say anorexia is the more ‘favourable’ eating disorder. It’s the same with orthorexia, any ed that results in you looking or behaving like the societal beauty or aesthetic standards is often deemed as ‘okay’. It’s also really clear when someone is in contact with an anorexia sufferer, they typically will feel sympathetic, and want them to get better and heal, even though they may not understand. However if that was replaced with binge eating disorder, people often turn their nose up and say somethings along the lines of, ‘it’s you’re fault, you’re the one who just kept eating.’ It’s seen as a gross thing. when in reality, ALL eds are an awful thing to develop, and EVERYONE suffering with one, or any mental issues for that matter, deserves all the help they can get. You are valid, you are worthy 🤍🐇

I love your honesty. It’s helped me throughout my own anorexia recovery. I especially love the part about calorie counting. My brain still does the same thing… focusing on the calories. Now that I’m weight restored I need to remind myself that calories (and calorie dense foods) literally saved my life. Calories saved my heart, kidneys, liver, brain, and other organs that were failing. I hope this message reaches someone but malnourishment is real and my anorexic brain almost killed me and recovery is a long-term battle even after the weight gain. Recovery is not easy. Holding yourself accountable to recovery is hard. But it’s a healing process and there’s light at the end of the tunnel.

I think that the fact you don't struggle with binge eating now is maybe because you allowed you to eat everything while recovering, even fear food, processed food, ''non healthy food'', and you've incorporated them really early. I think that could be a key and really help to prevent binge eating or other eating desorders. You did a beautiful recovery, congratulations 👏☺️🌞 and thanks for the contents and messages you share and people you help 🙏🏽

I can feel the voice of restriction coming back. When I'm low, my anorexia takes advantage, however I feel I must try and not take it out on my body.ever. thank you for the video as always xxx

PERFECT TIMING! My dinner is just ready now I can eat and watch, I’ve been struggling a lot with my ed but your videos bring me sm comfort ily ro

I am struggling a lot. I am in quasi recovery/the middle stage of recovery, and I swear to god it's the hardest part so far. I am finally feeling things again, and struggling to accept the weight gain. But I also know that at the end of the day, I have a lot of big plans for myself, and anorexia only keeps my world small and those things aren't possible. So I keep pushing, and I tell myself that people who love me will always love me for me. Regardless how I look. Your channel has been hugely inspirational for me and clearly many others. Seeing how far you've come, and how you still struggle some days, but are able to push through, is really encouraging.

after the intro the moment i saw her face , i gasped , she’s so gorgeous , she’s looks so much happier , alive and just GLOWING ! i’m so happy for her omg she looks unstoppable and fearless 🥺

Dude the “wee before eating” thing is SO REAL!! You’re so inspiring, Ro!

your videos are my greatest motivation for recovery, they always make me feel so supported :)

Thank you soo much for this, I can relate to most things especially feeling the need to be “empty” before eating meal. Even though I’m not fully recovered yet I can confidently say that being in recovery is the best decision I could have made. I’m now so much more spontaneous with food and don’t panic if things change, I have energy and I’m generally a lot happier and have so much more freedom xx

you’re so strong, thank you so much 🤍🤍🤍🌱🌱✨

I love these q and a's they are so helpful thank you xx

Thank you so much for this video, Ro!! It helped a lot!!❤️ Recently I feel like I don't deserve to eat if I haven't completed some schoolwork or housework or anything..because I feel unproductive and not enough. You've showed me today and reminded me that I need to follow my meal plan to recover. Ty and ily!!!🤗🤗

You are honestly such an amazing person. You have helped me so much with my recovery and I am so proud of your progress, thank you

I've been following your journey ever since your first video (I may not have watched everything due to my own battle with eating disorders) but seeing how far you've come really has given me new hope that I can take control of my life too. I struggle with body dysmorphia, binge eating and OCD, which are all overwhelming, especially when they affect me all together. I'm so proud of you and the progress you've made! So excited to see you grow even more :)

Thank you for this. Your words are really motivational and has been exactly what I needed to hear. Your tips and mentality is so refreshing and inspiring. All I can hope is that I can be as brave and strong as you . Keep fighting for your freedom. I know you're not there yet but you give me hope that full recovery is a possibility - and one worth fighting for.

Oh Ro! I can so relate. I also dropped out of college because of my mental health ( cPTSD, feeling overwhelmed and anxious tgere the whole time, just was way too much). Sending love and compassion for that ❤

You are actually amazing! So glad I’ve found you!!! I’m at a stage where I’m finding it really hard to accept recovery, going through a lot of the things youve spoken about, such as having to feel empty when I eat, but honestly you have helped me mentally so much! I will definitely be watching your videos on a daily and definitely from this day on start trusting my body and accepting recovery! Thankyou so so much! Your truely inspiring ❤️‍🩹💪

Words can’t describe how much comfort you bring me ily

This weekend has been so difficult for me with my recovery from Anorexia and you’re account had helped quite a bit so thank you so much Ro 💙

Hi Ro!!! Thank you so much for your video :)) Honestly I teared up and smiled when you mentioned you’re on your period. I’m currently approaching my 6th month of recovery, and I’m hoping that my period will also come back soon! Despite my fear and old restrictive thoughts that come back, gotta keep going! You’re such a light and so so brave! Hope you have a beautiful day :] Look forward to the next video

It’s so important to remind yourself of your mindset at the time and how it takes over your life and it’s all you think about!! life is so much better in recovery

Thank you for bringing your gentle, sweet and beautiful presence to us.

Comfort movies are the best. Also, your answers are so wise and lovely. I am glad you're listening to your body♥️

i tend to struggle with feeling invalid because of the binging and purging aspect of my ed.. but i found myself relating a lot to the sentiments in this video (peeing before meals, READING MENUS AND NUTRITION FACTS FOR FUN!!!!) and it reminded me that i deserve to recover even if I'm not the "best restrictor" or lost the most weight. thank you so much for your videos, they help so so so much.

I am so amazed and proud how you have gotten to where you are in recovery..u inspire and show me that recovery is possible! so just wanted to say thank you!

hi ro! you answered one of my questions and it made me so happy that you even noticed that i exist! I started recovery about a month ago and your channel has been so helpful! ily! 💞

preparing my dinner whilst i watch your videos always helps me make better more genuine decisions

I'm not really sure how your channel ended up in my feed but it was from a year ago and I wanted to see a newer video to see how your recovery has been doing. And I'm super happy for you. You look healthier and your face is much fuller and you're very beautiful. Keep it up 💯

Thank you sm for this video. You're so important and I luv u.

it's great to see you happy and being free! I 'm 100% sure you'll be fully recovered soon. I did recovered ( after long, hard 20-year battle with ED) and honestly? it was the best decision i 've ever made ! :) Life is so amazing after eating disorders! :*

You got your period back!!! Great work Ro you go girl💖

Your skin... To die for. It is beautiful and glowing in this video.

I'm at a restaurant right now and this video has truly helped. Sometimes I regret recovery. But i know its moments like these that make me want to keep fighting. Thank you Ro!

this has been my biggest hold back to recover. i’m so scared i’ll “lose” a part of myself that i’ve held for years. thankyou ro. you’re incredible. i love you so much.

I am really struggling in a relapse with my ed at the moment and I find it exhausting because half of my brain really wants to get better but the other half says I am not ill enough to be in a recovery program and I feel like my brain is going insane. But I had my yoghurt bowl whilst watching this and it helped so much, Thank you Ro, so proud of you!

I'm eating lunch and i'm a little scared bc the food and you just post a video, thank u ro

❤️ you and this whole video! Really appreciated hearing your thoughts and answers!

Talking about the stigma around being “sick enough “ was so validating. So helpful to be able to relate to your struggles, and thanks for reminding me of a few things that I still have to work on. I feel like the term ‘movement’ is underrated when we live in a society that is so obsessed with going against our bodies wants and needs. Recovering from bulimia when you have an obsession with exercise is hard, because it feels like people only think of throwing up and eating a lot when they think of bulimia. But so what, thanks for inspiring me to continue trying to prevent myself from developing arthritis very prematurely.

I've been struggling with the idea of change and new foods and so I've been eating the same foods day in and day out and today I had a panic attack before breakfast because I had planned to start changing it up a little bit but after I did I had a yogurt and granola bowl (both fear foods) and I felt so proud of myself. Thank you for posting it really helps me eat :)

You are my biggest inspiration ! Love you so much ❤️❤️

I love how you referenced it as "taking my life back" its so hard for me with recovery and choosing life because even when I got into the depths of restruction people always told me stuff about what I ate and made comments and its like why does it matter? Like sometimes I wish I never was vulnerable and never tried to reach out to people, I think the biggest thing Im afraid of is people saying "oH iM sO gLad yOu aRe eAting sOmetHing rEal" like people (atleast from what I experienced) say things thinking it is positive but its like..please just dont say anything at all :(. But yeah..I fee like I was meant to find this video...deleted all my body checks, all my step counters, all my calculation apps lmao, and yeah..I made the decision to eat today, and I guess Im just sick of having no energy and being held down, I want my mind back..

Your hair is so lovely and thick! It's so nice to see how much you've flourished like a beautiful flower. Recovery has also done wonders to my hair as well. My father told me I used to look like I was balding 😱.

Loved these questions...and your ending. I think "eat along with me" videos are very smart.

I am so grateful that you have been open about your recovery because you have helped me and so many others in our recovery! You are amazing xx I also love Tabitha's book!

your videos give me so much comfort, thank you

I love your videos, so inspiring ❤

Life without ED is another amazing book!! It’s structured for people with eating disorders in small portions so that you can focus, and there is nothing triggering in it! Completely focused on recovery and even has humour which I found extremely helpful to lighten it but also make you feel not alone :) Thank you for this video Ro you’re truly amazing and we’re all rooting for you ❤️

I’m here for you 💕💕

Thanks for your videos! I’m waiting for an ED unit bed and have been in the general hospital over 4 weeks for my anorexia mainly, OCD & depression. I have been having your videos on at mealtimes, thank you!

Another incredible video Ro! 😍

Omg that hummus and pita look amazing! That's going on my shopping list this week!

I’d love to see a casual day in your life, Ro 😊 also loved the video

Thank you so much for doing this. I was currently trying to eat dinner or more like a dinner snack after I kind of struggled with a binge today. It was a binge so to say just eating more than usually (I'm trying to start recovery but I don't have professional help and I'm restricting most days) I was feeling guilty but I knew I still needed food, so this really helped, I also had some hummus butmwith veggies:) I was struggling but I finished it

oh god, I'm so proud of you girl! i found your chanel when i was in the worst time of my ed, and seeing you fighting really motivated me

i wanted to say how much your video from 3 weeks ago has helped me understand my own recovery in a way, i subscribed to you a year ago when i was deep in my eating disorder and seeing you gradually get better helped me recover. it’s still very hard and i have a long way to go but thank you for helping me get this far already i had noodles today, which is one of my biggest fear foods and i actually enjoyed it a lot and it made me excited to push myself even further tomorrow

your 100% my recovery inspiration ily xxx

Thank you for this it’s much needed ♥️ Big love Ro x

Watched this while preparing/having my lunch and it really helped, anorexia thoughts have been bad lately and I really needed this, thank you so much❤️❤️

it‘s so motivating to see how far you‘ve come and thank you so much for always helping me throught all the tough times. You can be so proud of youself

Thank you for another amazing video Ro, you’ve helped me so much in my recovery xxx

your videos are such a safe space ro, I appreciate it so much❤

hi ro

Thank you so much for this video!! I needed this a lot at the moment

I cannot tell you how much I needed this video at exactly this moment. The timing has never been more perfect - thank you so much lovely xx

UR SO BEAUTIFUL IM CRYING

You are such a inspiration to me I love your videos they help me so much.

you make me feel so safe, thank you for everything really, you have a beautiful soul

I had to hold myself back from watching you because I almost watched all your videos and got sad few were left so I’m so happy you posted!!❤

You inspire me so much thank you for being so kind and genuine 🥰❤️ I appreciate you x

I've been in recovery for a year now and I just wanted to say thank you for everything u make such a positive impact on so many people

I kept coming back cause the video wouldn't come up😭😭 ilysm I'm so proud of u and one of ur videos inspired me to challenge a new cereal everyday this week I'm so scared but you've given me the motivation

I’ve been fighting and giving my all. You have helped me so much, you’re a recovery goddess 💕

Thank u for being and what ur doing for others❤️

hi ro. thank you so much for all of your kind words of encouragement to help us all keep going and continue to fight. you've come so far and just sitting watching your videos on repeat just shows how you continue to grow and how we can all grow if we believe and fight through

What I learned in recovery is that the voice which hurts your feelings is the one you should teach yourself to love and care, and by human law it is illegal to hurt humans and all living entities meaning if you hurt yourself you hurt humans. Love is respect is what we must learn in hard times such as anorexia recovery or other hard psychological dilemmas. I really am thankful and great full for Ro Mitchell and her videos that inspire many and inspire her to grow healthier! 💕

I loved the favorite movement question! I used to force myself to work out and get a minimum amount of steps every day to the point of lunacy. And I hated it. I’ve since moved houses and I found a sport I absolutely love and could do every day. Figure skating. It’s so freeing and I can express myself and I never think about how much I’m burning vs eating anymore. I just skate my heart out and eat whatever I want afterward ❤️ Recovery is so worth it and healing my relationship with exercise has helped me find my happy place.

amazing video as always ro!! 🥰

thank u for this Ro, i appreciate u sm, hope ur having a good day:) xx

I started recovering by myself on Monday and it’s going good so far. I’m so so thankful for your videos, they help me a lot❤️ Ro, I swear you’re an angel. Thanks for everything🥰

Thank you so much for talking about bingeing❤️ I’ve had binge eating disorder and more recently bulimia for a lot of my life and I finally feel like I am recovering. It’s sounds like a tiny achievement but I’m more than a month binge free!!!

I just ate a fear food while watching this video, Ro. Thank you for being here for us. xx

as per usual, thank you so much for this 🫶🏻

Thank you for being such an amazing person. I love you lots and have challenged myself so much because of you. Xx

Ro, you are the one who made me look at recovery through a positive light. When I found you I binged all your videos. They were the biggest comfort to me. I will ALWAYS thank you for helping me.

I watched every Video from you and you are the only person, wo helps me in recovery and I admire you so much. You came so far and you can be so so proud of you.🥰😘😘

LOVE YOU RO!

Thank you so much. I eat all my meals with your videos and you help me so much. Thank you ❤️

Your doing so well in recovery ro !!! I have watched every single video right from the beginning and every one of your videos this past year has made me feel like I can recover too so thank u for inspiring me and making me believe that recovery is possible. Your videos really do help x

This video couldn't have came on a better time. Feeling a bit down lately and having a lot of negative thoughts coming in my head. Glad this video popped up. Feeling a lot better and more motivated now! Thank you so much Ro! I have learned so much from you!

i will continue to say this on every video you ever upload but you help sososo much. i think i can actually recognise the progress im making now, ive reached a full month of recovery without giving into my ed at all, ive tried to recover so many times and this is the furthest ive gotten while ignoring everything my eating disorder tells me and even though it hasnt been long i feel like im really becoming stronger in every way possible. yes, i still get disordered thoughts and feelings, but i have the willpower to tell myself it isnt worth it and i shouldnt let my life be sabotaged just for the reason of feeling or looking a certain way; none of this would have been possible without u ro and i love and appreciate every single thing you do, youre a star

Thank you so much for this! ❤️ I love these videos where you just chat with us and talk from the heart!! :)

at 7:34 to 8:24 really spoke to me. I feel that exact way where I need to be worse than everyone else and it's making my friendships so hard and I hate it. I want to get my life back and stop constantly thinking about food so hopefully, in the future, I can be me again. Very soon (next week) I'll be joining an intense eating program that will help me get through this. your videos are very inspiring thank you

Totally get the needing to pee thing. I'm always glad you said about that. x

Hey there ro! I just wanted to say your videos every week really cheer me up! 😇🖤🤍 You really have such a soft, soothing voice and such a warm and wholesome aura about you.. 😌❤️🤎❣️I think it why so many people look up to you and love you, because they feel they can be and are heard, listened to and cared about, by you, without belittling and judgment. 🙂💛 Your calm and cozy energy really makes me smile and I am so proud of who you are. You really are an inspiration, just a pure soul and an amazing human being.. you are worthy of pride, happiness, love, and joy! 🥰💚💗 I want you to know, I am always going to root for you, cheer you on, and I love you! 🥺🥲🤎💜💞

Recently I feel like I have been doing a lot better with challenging some rules anorexia has given me and rather than feeling guilt about that, I have been feeling pride about it, pride that I never could have felt without these videos. It is so helpful seeing someone else fighting the same thing and saying things that make me feel so much stronger. Words cannot describe how grateful I am to you xx

I love this video, help me so so much thank you again Ro I love you and please don’t let me ❤️‍🔥

Just love you! I was told I was anorexic by family for years, and I wasn't. I had high energy and 2 children under 5 by myself. When I found my now husband, my whole body changed. As we get older our bodies change. I'm turning 50 and I've finally started liking myself. Your journey has helped me find joy in myself.

this is perfect timing oh my god. i've been struggling a lot these past few days and this is genuinely the wake up call i need to GET MY SHIT TOGETHER. love u sm ro
