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

Ro: “I cried in a video. How embarrassing” Me: “she cried. She’s human. She’s honest. And we love her for it.”

I don’t think she has any idea how much she’s helped people in recovery (including myself). My daily dose of motivation :)

imagine this : your parents stand in front of a shelf in the supermarket, picking out food for this video, your dad gives your mum a side hug and one of them whispers “our daughter is getting her life back”. i can’t imagine how incredibly proud they are of you. keep going xX

You should get grackle to choose your meals for a day, she’s a food queen and think your personalities are both superior!! Keep fighting, you’re doing incredible!!!

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 ❤️

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😊

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 💯💪

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 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

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!!)

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

I completely understand that feeling of having to "get ready" for meals. I would say the majority of the time now before a meal i have to clean my desk, make sure my clothes are put away, get dressed and brush my hair and use the restroom before eating. I know thats weird but like i feel incomplete if i dont

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!! 🥰🥰🥰

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.

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

I’ve been watching you for over six months in your recovery, and have never commented. I just want to say I am so proud of you! You are so precious! Stay safe, take care.😍

i just want to thank you. i am a fifteen guy and have anorexia and even when i am at my lowest, i will still watch your content and wish to get to your point. you make me hold hope that one day will be better for me.

i am so happy to see how supportive your family is! and you seem so happy when you’re around them

This video absolutely melted my heart. Your dad was absolutely chuffed to be doing this with you. Ro, you're amazing. Whether or not you're always happy, you certainly seem lighter. Sending you and your family alllll the light and love!

Seems like you’re such a cool family 😄 I love the banter and funny comments between you and your parents! Your humor in general is soooo good and relatable! Greets from Germany xx

thank you for being so incredible ro, started my recovery a few weeks ago and i’ve been really struggling today- this video feels like such a comfort right now

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

It’s my last day in Portugal today & im so proud of myself this past 12 days. I’ve eaten nutella, crepes, pancakes, chocolate, cake, ice cream, pasta, pizza, chips, cookies, white bread (basically all unknown calories & fear foods) i couldn’t be happier🥺🥺

feeling guilty about eating while being encouraged to eat by ro is so healing. thank you. i am eating along with you :).

THE GOING TO THE BATHROOM BEFORE EATIG THING. OH MY GOD I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME!!! like i always will fully prepare the meal and get everything out in front of me and then go pee because i dont want to have to pee while eating because i want to fully enjoy the meal and it wouldnt be like, "perfect" if i dont pee first. so weird ive never even considered challenging it because i never thought of it as a "rule," but i guess it kind of is

I’m going to keep this short and sweet. I am so very proud of your progress. I can’t wait to see where this journey will take you. Take care of yourself. Sending positive vibes your way.

As always Ro, you are such an INSPIRATION. I have also been documenting my ED recovery journey and know how hard it is... but you are KILLING IT! Especially giving up control to someone else. You are doing it, and you are doing it amazingly. KEEP GOING! YOU GOT THIS 💪❤️

Ro I've been following you since the beginning of your journey (fun fact: you started it on my birthday) but this is the first time I comment and I wanna say that you are such a lovely soul and you're giving me so much hope and strenght! That being said, I wasn't expecting that TMI but trust me girl I can totally relate!! Thank you for speaking about it, you made me feel validated (and less crazy, like there are actually other people struggling with the same thoughts?!). Hope you have a wonderful evening!

Your parents are EVERYTHING. You’re amazing. Never stop shining💫

Your lunch looked soo good! For some reason this video felt a lot more emotional. Your whole family together helping you through, planning your meals and you completely trusting them. Well done ❤❤

I'm REALLY struggling at the moment so when I saw you uploaded a new video I got excited. These videos help me so much they're very calming and supportive. Thankyou Ro for being an inspiration to me x

so so proud of you!! i was really struggling with recovery today and as always, you're an inspiration to what is possible when you go all in. thank you, much love and wishing you the best 🤍

As somebody who can finally call herself fully recovered, I can say that watching you push through so diligently is so inspiring. I know how hard it is and I also know that you and everybody else reading this who’s struggling can do this! It’s so worth it! 🥰💕✨

I often think about you when I'm cooking and when I do, I try to send you some positive vibes and strenght. I hope you feel supported on this channel because we are all here cheering for you girl!!! 😘

Your parents are literal angels. You are so lucky. You’ve done so well Ro. Congrats

your dad was so sweet to do all that food preparation for you, and you were so appreciative of him ....... you know that made him happy. ❤

Well done Ro 🥂 Concentrate on what you achieved, you ate that bagel, even though you found it difficult. You chose you, you fuelled you and you fought for yourself. Well done! P.S. I hadn't even realised how much diet culture effects me. Since watching your videos I am a lot happier eating whatever I fancy. Thank you 😊

I could only imagine how chuffed your dad was feeling being able to share this with you. I never thought I would feel this way towards someone on the internet... But I'm so incredibly proud of you & how far you've come! Watching you take back your power & your life has been so empowering for us all of us, and I'm rooting for you always! Thank you for sharing your journey with us, it has been an absolute privilege to be apart of 💖💖💖

Girl, you DID THIS! Look at you go! I’m so proud of 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

You’re so strong !!! Crying and getting emotional can be positive too! You identified you were angry at your disorder and talked rational thoughts into your mind. It’s those moments that condition your mind to be healthy again and that make you so much stronger 💙💙

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

one thing that has helped me soo much is when your brain is being really unkind, turn your fav song on and sing along because your brain cant think unkind thoughts when singing.

i‘ve been watching you for a few months and i‘m so so so so proud of how far you‘ve come. sending much love

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

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 :) 💛

ro! i think a room tour video would be super interesting to watch. every clip i’ve seen of your room, ive been obsessed

Ro you are glowing!!!!! Youre such an inspiration and you give me strength for my own recovery:) youve got this😁

you are so so wonderful and brave ro, thank you for everything you’ve done. we are all so proud

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

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

You're so much more excited about this one and less anxious than the one with your mum which is great progress xx

Mentioning the loo routine before eating is something I hadn’t even factored into my ED wow. Thanks for sharing !

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

You’re amazing Ro, such an inspiration for me and for so many others! Hugs from Sweden 💕

Omg I love this so much my dad has also been such an inspiration in my recovery and this is the sweetest thing ever ❤️❤️

Thanks again for keeping me going and motivating me to pull through and winning this battle, love u

I just watched one of your old videos again, & I'm actually amazed by how far you've come. You have so much more life & personality to you now, & it's really so inspiring. In this one, you're singing & making jokes, bonding w your family, laughing... you were so much quieter and more reserved in your old videos, & it's been truly amazing seeing how wonderfully recovery has impacted you!!

U r an Inspiration, thank you ro for helping so many Teens recover Ly

This is giving me soooo much motivation to keep pushing myself in recovery🥺your Dad is the sweetest!

Hey Ro! This was so wholesome to watch! Sat watching with my first dinner of pasta since I was 13 letting my dad make it. I’m 20 now so 7 years! Thank you for the inspiration

I love how supportive and kind your family is

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!

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

More family videos! What a beautiful thing to be able to witness this❤️ always sending my love from Oregon

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.

I really love the support from your family, especially with your dad saying ‘You go girl’ and you are one of the few youtubers I can watch and not even skip any parts. You are doing amazing keep up the great work❤️

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

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!

You freaking crush it!! To watch the struggle on your face but see you push through it is so motivating. You are doing great!

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

you did really really well love, you should be so proud of yourself

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 :)

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

this is so incredible ro.. you inspire me everyday and i'm so grateful that you share your journey with us

Thank you for being so real Ro 💗

Wow you really inspire me to just do it! I've been wanting to let my mum control my food for a day for ages but keep freaking out and delaying it saying "we'll do it next week" but there really is no time like the present and we shouldn't waste any more of our lives surrendering to this illness. Keep fighting, we're all in this together ♥️

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💜

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

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 !!

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.

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!!

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 😍

Love to see you that happy. I remember in former videos you were struggling before every meal and now you eat and comment how delicious everything is and that it tastes fruity and stuff. It just seems like you are able to really enjoy food again and I love that for you 😍😍😍 Thank you for sharing you help a lot of people 💕💕

This video made my heart warm

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 :)

Ohh, I am struggling with eating disorder and I always go toilet after having meal and actually I haven’t realized that this is a eating disorder’s attitude. Thank you for being so clear about your journey. It is really helpful for us!💙

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!

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 💗

I've watched some of your videos recently. I love the fact that you are not ashamed of showing your weaknesses. And believe it or not, this is your strenght. As a person who struggled with anorexia for years, I'm pretty sure you are on the right track to get out of that hell. Keep going and be proud of yourself!!!!

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

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 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

Your parents are soooo sweet and love you soooo much. I love to see it!

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

It has been a little while since I've watched your videos (bc of the notifications :/) and you can't even know how much it warms my heart seeing you more and more happy and comfortable with food (you still struggling but your progress is so wonderful). We don't know each other but I'm so so proud of you 😘❤️ It made my day. Love you and wich you the best ❤️❤️

it’s so interesting to see what you eat for typical meals where you are, so different! i’ll have to try some of these!
