honestly, the biggest thing I notice are ur eyes. At the beginning of ur journey, they were duller. As you've recovered, they've honestly taken a glow to them. I can almost see the recovery in your eyes, they just look so much fuller and full of life. ur doing such a good job, lysm

As a mental health therapist, I really REALLY appreciate you so much for being brave and sharing your story. Thank you for inspiring all the clients I share this with.

one thing that I learnt from recovery was that food is not only calories. It's a great source to cope with your day as well as it gathers people. I could not imagine my life without meeting my friends almost every Friday to have dinner together. To sum up, food goes beyond calories

Your KZfaq videos really help me a lot. With your posts you motivate me to keep going and not to give up. I guess I'm not the only one feeling like that. I usually get something to eat while watching your videos to distract myself a little and that works really well! Thank you so much! You're doing amazing!❤️

forgot the time difference between the uk and the netherlands... so i was so excited and ready at 17:00 and then i realised I still needed to wait an hour 🤧 btw here are some video idea's: 1. making jewellery while doing a q and a 2. Fashion related videos (look books, hauls etc) 3. Morning routine (because we NEED to know how you do your make up so flawlessly 4. Making biscoff from scratch And i just wanted to say that im so thankfull for your existence because you've helped (and still does) me a lot xxx

I struggle so much at the moment, I ate pancakes today as Dinner and i feel horrible, but your Videos help me so much! You are literally my comfort KZfaqr. You help me fight against bad thoughts and motivate me so much, keep going you are perfect!

On the clothing sizes note: I wear the same size as my friend who is about a foot taller than me and at least 30lbs lighter. The same shirt looks different on both of us. Sizes are relative. And we are both beautiful :)

RO! I just want to say HOW PROUD I am of you! I have been documenting my own ED recovery journey on my channel and following along with your story. You are doing such a great job and I am here cheering you on all the way! Keep kickin’ the ED in the butt 💪

I love the fact that she bleeped out the amount of calories. This shows that she genuinely cares about us. This is what a real recovery channel looks like. Keep up the good work, you really helped me out a lot💕

Thank you Ro for helping so many people and sharing your journey. Lysm ❤️

I got by your channel by posting something about my eating disorder on another channel, someone mentioned you. I’m going to watch your videos and hope I’ll learn something and maybe I can make the next step. I’m at the point that I eat everything but only at night and in 1 go. I’ve also been at the point that you are in now, it’s a real struggle. It’s good (for me) to see someone else having the same struggles I had and openly talk about it. I wish you all the best in your recovery and just to let you know, you’re not alone 🙂 ❤️. And you’re number two point is a struggle I still have. Weightnumbers still control me a lot… it can make a good day into a bad day, but how you talk about it already let me think about it more. 🙂

Dear Ro, I promise not to overwhelm you- but I listened to this posting again tonight. I live in the US. I also shared it with my therapist- who is a wonderful woman whom I started with in 2014. I chose my version of recovery because I developed a very rare illness in 2013 which was the one type of abuse that I realized I didn’t deserve. It’s called, ironically, Mitchell’s disease. - you can Google it. But my body cannot control temperature anymore and my feet and lower legs turn bright red and burn at all times because my feet think that 60 degrees is 110. It is torture. So I called it my epiphany but I know that my routine is still regimented. I have watched many recovery posts before but, honestly, your ability to perceive and explain what you have learned are the exact things that I struggle with and your words here -in your 17 minute video- had been more helpful than anything I have heard or read. You have immense insight into what your anorexic life took from you but also what you have had to accept or change in order to live a full life. I am so proud of you for learning this at age 19. My unhealthy relationship with my body and food started in childhood because my mother, my only parent, had an eating disorder- not anorexia but she excluded many foods from our “ allowed” diet. I learned the rules but never knew I had the “ wrong “ rule book I lost most of my life to AN not at drastic weights always but in my point of view. Then I got this disease and that was my impetus to change but now 8 years or quasi I know that this is not food freedom. Your words are so wise and you care indeed I role model and! If you were to choose it, you could be a therapist for sure God bless you and take care. Your words are powerful and much appreciated! Best, Abby

so in awe and cheering you on! your mindset changes show so much resilience and power! ♥️

you are so strong and we're so proud of you! thank you for sharing your experience and helping so many people 🖤

I saw an older video before stumbling onto this one and girl...you are BEAUTIFUL. I'm talking your eyes, face, lips, smile- I don't even know you but seeing how being healthy and lively enhances your natural features almost makes me tear up. Being in a better place really shows in all sorts of ways. You're literally glowing right now.

Couldn't wait for this upload! Thank you for your videos and sharing your journey. I hope you know how much you have inspired me and I'm sure others xx

so proud of you Ro ❤️ you’ve helped me & so many others. you are truly an inspiration, your honesty & wisdom is so healing. sending you all the love in the world

Your voice is just so calming that i just let it play when i read 😌

You should be so proud of yourself, you’re doing amazing! Your videos help me so much, so thank you ❤️

You're such a force for positive good, so happy you make the videos 💗

So glad you are doing well in your recovery. You have such a kind and calming presence, and I always enjoy watching and learning from your videos. Keep on smashing it Ro xx

this was so reassuring for me, it came at such a perfect time for me to hear. thank you i’m so grateful for you sharing your recovery with us

I’m so glad you’re back. I missed your presence here and keep going 💪🏻 strong !

So happy to see you doing well and continuing to show yourself love & compassion. It takes a lot of courage and commitment : )

This channel is so lovely! This video was so cozy, it was a nice start for my day. I wish you the best with your recovery. I’ve been watching you for quite awhile you’re amazing. Take care ☺️

I'm literally SO PROUD OF YOU !!

"I'm not going to be happy restricting...the only thing that would be happy would be the anorexia. " (paraphrased) -this is so true. I don't have anorexia, but if you substitute body image/ego-yeah. This is a true reminder to be guided by better than the images you see everywhere of what "attractive women" should look like. Thank you.

I’ve watched you right from the beginning, and it’s so inspiring how far you’ve come! I hope to be like you one day, your such a fighter! Truly brave and amazing 💕

Ro, you are so genuine, gentle and beautiful. You speak from your heart and this comes through. You are a deep inspiration and you sharing your story so authentically is a stepping stone of hope for so many of us. Thank you! Love you so much! 💕

This is my comfort account, ily so much you make me feel so validated🥰xxx

Thank you SOooo much for posting this! I shared it with my husband so he can understand better what our daughter is going through. I hope that understanding better will help us better support her through her own recovery.❤️

Ro you don’t even realise how much you help us, I’m so grateful I have been following you from the beginning of your recovery journey 💓

Ro you've done it again. I'm so moved and inspired by you. It does help so much to hear from others perspective on their recovery journey and what they are gotten from it so far. I do can relate but I felt like I haven't really let myself just be, to trust more in the process and stick with it longer. But now I do feel like I can learn more myself. I'm so happy and proud of you for even saying those things such as anorexia being something you needed to change inorder to get to a place where you can fix/manage the other things that you are struggling wth, that is so true. I love to hear how you are more capable of seeing what is truly best for you now (your human you do make mistakes sometimes, yes..) that yes to the things you want to try or do and saying no to the things that aren't helpful for you mentally, emotionally and physically. I appreciated this so. I always get excited to hear from you(don't worry no pressure to keep posting or do want I think is better for me). You are so incredibly, so intelligent, so wise and a warm loving soul. Love you loads Ro.🖤💜💙🆓🌄😑😊😌💪🥊🗣️☕🎥☮️☯️

You've come such a long way! I re-watched your first video and the difference is huge. You look so much younger now, you have a spark in your eye and seem way happier :)

I am so incredibly proud of you. You are amazing. Keep going my love, it will all be SO worth it in the end

you’re so strong and have come such a long way. Be proud of yourself. Love you beautiful

I am so proud of you! You are absolutely kicking butts! You are auch a kind, loving, inspiring strong woman. You deserve the best. You inspired me to finally tackle my emotional eating habit.

This gave me so much hope and inspiration ❤️ Love what you said about the clothing sizes and learning to not listen to exact calories too, so encouraging. Really relate to what you said about personality as well, Ed’s really do strip you of everything. You give me so much hope to carry on xx

thank you so much for taking about losing yourself and your personality during this all because i can relate so much. hopefully i get back to it too. love you ro ,3

Welcome back! I wasn’t too worried, I thought you have been busy with university. I’m so proud of you for all of the strides you have made. Thank you. Thank you for your honesty, your inspiration, and your perseverance. You are such an amazing woman.

Thanks so much Ro. You are so precious. Want to send you love and positive vibes!! It is really reassuring and encouraging to hear your lessons and after I've spent so long struggling and trying to recover it is wonderful to find you and people like Megsy who have actually gone through the process. It's so helpful. So much love to you and your family xxx

Keep pushing! You'll pull through. The voice will get much easier to control with time. Proud of you 💖

You are amazing. I been watching your videos for the last few weeks. I'm struggling in a relapse. Your videos are keeping me on wanting to not give up and seek help. I love what you are doing to help others. ♥️♥️♥️

I’m so happy for you Ro! Food and numbers is getting easier and easier by the day after a year and a half in recovery. I’m so glad that yours is going well to and that you’re truly giving it your all. I definitely didn’t give it my all my first 9 months. You got this

You are an angel!!!! So special and important to us! Your videos help me a lot!! I'm so thankful 🥰😋❤️ You are so strong and made me realize that i am too! Love from Brazil ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I'm in 1 year and 2 months in recovery and I still needed to hear all this!!!! Everything, everything. You are wonderful.

absolutely amazing video Ro! so so proud of you! your journey is what keeps me motivated to continue my own anorexia recovery, I'm happier than I've been in a long time thanks to recovery influencers like yourself.

I haven’t watched your videos for a while, and when I checked in on your channel and started this video, I got emotional! I’m so proud of you and how far you’ve come. There’s more colour in your cheeks, your eyes are shining brighter and you’re looking so much happier. Congratulations on 9 months of recovery - you deserve to feel wonderful 💕

Ro!! I love you thank you for giving me support in my recovery❤️❤️

thanks Ro. you are honestly helping me so much and I'm so grateful. xx

I just wanted to say that you’re a such an inspiration not just for me, for everyone! since i'm in recovery i have watched your videos and they help me so much! Every time when I struggle, I watch ur vids and they are helping me a lot!! thank you for your kind support, I’m proud of you

Everybody is SO proud of you

You’ve done so so amazing Ro, we’re all so proud of you. Thank you so much for inspiring so many people in their recovery, including me. I always watch your vids while eating as a comfort. 🤍

Thank you so much for everything Ro! You have no idea how much of an inspiration you are and just how much you've helped me through recovery. Your videos and your journey is one of the things that give me motivation to always keep going, and I'm so incredibly thankful that you choose to share it with us. Ilysm

you help me with my thoughts so so much i mean your videos help with my mental health and my anorexia thoughts, while watching your videos help me so so much thank you Ro.xx

hiii i look forward to all of your videos they help me so much. im at the very beginning of my recovery and it’s been really difficult but you are your journey are so inspiring and motivating. thank you so so much.

Thank you for sharing this! I've been in recovery for 4 months now, still a long way ahead of me, but at least I believe I can make it. 😊 Tomorrow may be difficult about eating, so I'm happy to have watched this video just now. Lots of love, keep going! 💕

you are honestly one of the biggest reasons why i began recovery and i am so so grateful for that, thank you so much for sharing your journey and wisdom with the world - you are truly incredible

Thank you so much for this video, they’re sooo helpful. I also love your jumper by the way x

Your videos are the reason I’m recovering thank you for sharing your journey

i can’t say this enough : i’m so proud of you ro. i love how you think so much and it helps me with improving my own mindset. you are incredible xX

Thank you so much for your video’s Ro

I am so proud of you! You made it so far ❤️ this makes me so emotional 😭

thankyou for this, i was losing the motivation recently in recovery and this video is now my motivation - you shoukd totally do a podcast on something like this it would be amazingly helpful

Thank you. Thank you so much because I honestly don’t think you understand what kind of positive impact you have on people, and being one of those people I just wanted to say I’m so very proud of you, thank you, ily xxx

I am in recovery right now and I really needed to hear all that! Thank you so much for sharing! :)

not sure how or why i stumbled upon your channel, but watching the life come back into your eyes has been truly beautiful! i wish you all the best, sweet Ro.

I’ve learned so much more from than I’ve even began to learn in therapy I cannot thank you enough. I have learned in recovery that food is art in so many ways and should be celebrated. There’s so many different combinations and history behind recipes and I think that is beautiful. I’ve started to love cooking/baking and I always continue to eat my favorite foods when I discover something I like while also trying new things. Recovery is so exciting and freeing.

this video was the perfect reminder that the path to healing I'm on right now is indeed the right way to go. Sending love to you 🤍

You are so strong, I love your videos! Also, I agree on all your points, especially about your personality resurfacing when you let go of the ED.

Seeing how far you’ve come in 9 months is so wonderful. Makes me see that anything is possible if you believe in yourself. You’re amazing, gorgeous and such in inspiration! Keep up the good work girl! ❤️🧡💚🤍💜💛

new video!!!

Ro you look so unbelievably amazing! Your skin is glowing and you look so incredibly healthier. you are unrecognisable in the best way ever!!! Congratulations, you are so inspirational and look so much better in yourself!!!!! you should be so so proud of yourself

Honestly I’ve been so busy I’ve missed a fair few of your uploads and need to catch up! But my goodness you’re glowing!! Jesus Christ! You look back at your first videos 8 months ago, to now! And wow! Honestly well done! It’s been hard and we’ve all followed you! But you look so much happier, and glower! And your hair is thriving! 😭♥️😍 I honestly love to see it xxx

Thank you so much for your videos. I suffer from BED and have done for years and you have made me realise that all your fear foods are mine . Just watched you celebrating your brothers birthday and it made me realise that I like you never join in with celebrations ,dread meals out and having surprises dropped on me . You have also given me the green light to enjoy these ‘normal’ foods and to try and rewire my brain to give myself permission to eat and enjoy as it’s the guilt that’s the problem not the food . I can’t thank you enough as I can see and smell the freedom that your progress will give to all people with ED . Here’s to keep on getting better and having a healthy attitude to food and not treating certain foods as the enemy xx

I am sooo fuckin proud! You have been glowing up so much when I watch you're first video again!

Look at you. You are literally a different person, so radiant and positive. You’ve had a hard fight but have done excellently to challenge this awful illness. I look forward to seeing what your life is like the next nine months. X

The part where you say how you missed the girl you used to be - I feel that hun like I used to smile all the time, I was known as being that kind, funny and smiley girl to my close friends and family and suddenly it all changed and unfortunately I’m not that person anymore. I’m trying to get back to that point thought so keep pushing!

amazing tips. Keep going, you are doing so well! I wish I had content like this when I was struggling with anorexia (13 years ago!) I have been fully recovered from anorexia for 10 years and fully recovered from bulimia for one year, and it's so so worth it. I think the thought of losing your ED and the comforting behaviours it provides is actually SCARY, but then when you get there it's better than you could've ever imagined. x

AW love your videos bring me so much joy and they are so helpful! I am so glad to see you glowing as truly yourself

I miss you Ro! Hope everything is peachy. Praying for you every day!🤗😇

Ro, I started following your journey on Tik Tok and now here many months ago. I don’t have anorexia but I have had mental health issues for many years and I too am in recovery. You are an absolute inspiration for so many people (including myself) . You have shared every aspect of your journey in terms of your highs and lows and even though I have never met you, I cannot help but feel a sense of pride as I watch your videos. You truly are amazing and I hope anyone who watches your videos knows that it’s ok not to be ok but things do get better 💕 Keep shinning Ro 💫 and we will keep watching you 🥰 Sending love from Ireland ☘️

go ro go!! thank you for inspiring and motivating me along my recovery journey!!

your videos really help me in recovery thank you for being so amazing you're doing so well

this is just what I needed right now, 2nd day in forced recovery. your account is really helping me ro

ur channel is so helpful. enjoying watching your videos for motivation and comfort

I actually started my recovery journey around the same time as you and I am so glad I found your Chanel. you have helped me a lot. it felt like I wasn't in this alone and like somebody finally understood me. whenever I wanted to give up you somehow landed on my homepage and suddenly everything seemed worth it again. I am so proud of how far you have come. your are glowing. I wish you all the best in your recovery.. and remember you are so much more than a number

Missed you, Thank You for being strong!!! LOVE YOU, RO, keep fighting!❣️

i started watching your videos only a few weeks ago, during the midst of my severe restriction. and ohmygod, you have already helped me so much!!! i've decided to recover from my disordered eating, and while i ought to give myself credit as well, i feel like i wouldn't have started healing myself without you. it's been hard; i have to ask myself a lot of questions and completely unlearn all the toxic diet culture bullshit i've been fed since i was just a little kid. but seeing you be human, and have food, and show your ups and downs is just absolutely amazing. thank you so much!

you inspire me in so many ways. youre doin absolutely amazing

You are such a great person, I really needed this today. ❤️ currently I am on my 4th month of recovery and much of what you have learned is what I’m beginning to learn as well. Keep it up! ✌🏻💕

The way you talk about your experience of recovery is so eloquent and it really sounds like it’s coming from the heart. They a hard lessons to understand and learn and you can really tell you’ve worked so hard to learn them. I’m a psychologist and IMPLORE you to train as a therapist. Obv only if it’s right for you and your journey 😉 but you’d be amazing at it

I'm proud of how far you've come! I'm proud of YOU ♡

Thank you so much for everything you do, couldn't be prouder xxx

I love so many aspects of your videos! But especially recognising certain struggles, can be so good to hear. I feel less alone in this fight when watching your video's. And certain victories and lessons I learned too are as well so good to hear when you tell about them in your experience... It just confirms that they are indeed victories!

ro, this week has been really hard. i’ve felt guilt for not exercising and still eating the same amount, and it has fogged my brain. whenever you post, it’s like i have a friend that knows exactly what i’m going through. you’re so strong and comforting, and i’m so grateful for you and your bravery to share your journey.

just watched this before heading off to bed and i don't think i could go to sleep feeling any better, you are so sweet and generous your smile and wise words would light up any room in the world thank you ro x p.s i've learnt that just because someone else struggled more doesn't invalidate your own struggles someone else will always have it worse and its not your job to 'beat that'

So helpful Ro, thank you so much! I am actually really impressed by how wise you are at your age. You have so much to say, wonderful.

I'm proud of you Ro 💜 you're doing amazing

the last time i watched one of your videos was in april??? or march?? and since then you just look so much happier and it honestly makes me so happy seeing you now, i've always loved your videos and im super proud of you and your progress in recovery! you've helped me believe that recovery is possible, no matter how many times i try to recover and end up relapsing for months at a time, i can still recover, and just the way you speak about recovery and eating disorders just helps me so much

Keep it up Ro! I've been recovered fro about 4 years now, and am currently a mental health counselor working with individuals with various eating disorders, and getting my masters degree in psych, and let me just say you are so insightful, knowledgable and determined. I was just thinking about my recovery today and what I have learned, and my goodness, there is so much goodness yet to come for you. I love watching you go out there each day and fight. Never loose that spark!
