hi friends, 2 things to say: ● the fundraiser t-shirt I designed is available for 6 more days!! the link is here to purchase: everpress.com/rorecovering-beat-fundraiser ● I know I said some things didn't work certain ways for 'most people' but for some people it DOES work that way and its absolutely fine - it's not a reflection on how unwell you are, so sorry if it came across that way xxxx

When it comes to eating disorder recovery comments I don't think there should ever be a "wow u gained so much weight" it should be "your eyes look brighter, your skin looks better, your hair looks healthier and you look happier"

“You’re not supposed to fit your clothes, your clothes are supposed to fit you” 😌🥺

Last week I saw a friend/coworker I hadn't seen since before the pandemic (I started recovery during the pandemic) one of the first things I said was something like "Yeah I know I gained weight"... he answered "you overestimate how much attention I pay" And that was sooo eye-opening

I’m 14 recovering from anorexia and you were one of the reasons I chose real recovery, thank you for inspiring me and so many people you have come so far and are inspiring people like me to take each bite at a time and that we will get better it won’t happen overnight but we will be happy and healthy again. You are amazing and we got this 👍 We can tell anorexia to do one xxx💪💛

i can’t believe it’s 6 months already- you’re incredible and so so inspirational

i’m 14 years old and i started to slip into an ed. i stoped eating and got terrible signs that i was becoming unhealthy. i found you off of tiktok and i binged all of your videos. you inspired me to start eating again. you helped me so much and i can not thank you enjoy!

I really like the phrase: “your body is an instrument, not an ornament”. Your journey has been so inspiring to witness, Ro, and your level of insight and thoughtfulness is quite unique - and much needed - in the recovery space! Also, if any of the psychologists I’ve had over the years had approached the topic of recovery the same way you did in this video, I think it’s possible I would also be in recovery now ❤️

you’re not only so fucking gorgeous (i really do mean it) on the outside but also so beautiful on the inside. kind, smart, brave, funny, intelligent, encouraging, supportive, strong&& so much more and i can say that without actually really knowing you. wow, the people around you are so lucky to have someone like you!! you deserve tons of happiness

"You are not meant to fit your clothes, they are meant to fit you"!!!(love that)❤️

reminder : you wouldn’t invalidate ro for being a “healthy” bmi so don’t do it to yourself ❤️ you don’t need to make excuses or prove yourself to improve your life 💪💪💪

I didn’t hesitate twice when you said this is your sign to delete your calorie tracking app, and did it. I want to thank you, I started my journey the same time you did. Now reading my journal back then it breaks my heart seeing how exhausted, sad and hungry I was! But I’m so blessed I been so strong and getting where I am now all by myself. I’m hopeful for the future xx

After following your story and being completely inspired by your determination, I told my mum today that I was suffering with an eating disorder after years of hiding it and being consumed. Today is the start of getting back my life 💛 thank you for showing me it's possible 🌻 xx

So much wisdom for a 19 year old. Your honesty with yourself and your ability to slow down and self-reflect is truly inspiring. I hope you find the happiness you’ve been sharing, and I have no doubt you’ll find it with your strength. Just be patient with yourself xx

RO? are u kidding me? you're an absolute *ROCKSTAR, the biggest WARRIOR* - you are so fucking strong! ignore every setback, every bad/anorexic thought and say "NO. i want my life back!" you are powerful enough to beat every hard struggle, every difficult life lesson, we believe in you. you are BEAMING, you are GLOWING, you are STUNNING! don't you ever think otherwise 'bout yourself. i wish i knew you irl and could tell you how much you helped me (i don't have ED, but depression & anxiety) you can't even imagine how much we love you. can't express this gratitude by words enough. you have a purpose here and this is it- to help other people and be a motivating QUEEN. you're gonna smash these battles! don't give up, we are here for you sweetheart ♥ PS: thinking of you on this v hard day for you. i've been struggling too. we GOT this together! :) sending loong hugs xxxxxx

also guys, if you feel heavy or your stomach hurts after eating, it feels really really good to lie on your left side after, so your body can process the food better :) it's really good for tummy and v comforting, try it :)

I love listening to you. It just feels calming and safe idk

I've just loved seeing the change in your perspective of what you "can" do - you're constantly growing and realising that there truly are no limits to what you can accomplish and it's incredible, inspiring and downright flipping amazing xxxx

I am so so proud of you! You are actually glowing. Looking back at your older videos you didn't smile as much when you talked and in this video, you could see how proud of yourself you are!

As silly as it sounds, you even sound so much clearer and better like you’ve just gained back your spirit and your personality 💕💕💕 so proud, well done xxxxxx

I've been struggling with anorexia for well over five years now. And for the longest time, I've put off recovery simply because I was scared of losing what I had "worked" so hard for. I was miserable of course, lying to myself and glorifying my exploited body. The thing that finally convinced me to take that step and start my recovery was discovering your videos. I still have a long way to go, but I can actually see myself doing it for the first time in forever. And I absolutely have you to thank for. You were the role model I didn't know I needed. Hearing you talk about your experience made me feel heard and validated, something I hadn't really experienced before. You are a truly wonderful person. P.S.: We WILL beat this!

Dear Ro This is the first time I've ever commented on a youtube video, and you may never ever get around to seeing this, but I just wanted to thank you for what you do. For the past 3 months I've been trying to recover from anorexia, and your videos have helped me so much throughout my journey. Every video you post has saved me from relapsing back to where I was, on the brink of death, and have instead filled me with inspiration and motivation to get better and get my life back. You are an incredible human being ❤

I've seen light come into your eyes over these months, you look so much happier. I'm so proud of you ❤️ You've really helped me in my recovery xx

A few years ago I suffered from an ED. I thought I was completely heald until I watched your videos and realized I still have fear foods. Today I challenged myself and ate some oreos for the first time in more than 5 years !!! Thank you so much for putting this content online, it's very helpful to see someone going through the same thing I used to. I wish you a great recovery, you deserve the best. Sending you lots of love from France ❤️❤️❤️

You helped me really realize my disordered eating. I subconsciously knew I had a problem, but I didn't full-on realize or accept it until I got into watching your channel. I used to only eat one small meal a day and not until the evening and I thought that was normal enough. I haven't quite reached the three meal/three snack system you have but I've definitely improved.

i am so insanely proud of you. you have come so far and it just literally makes me wanna cry happy tears when i think about how strong you are. i’m 17 and also recovering, and i love sitting down and eating a snack with you, or challenging stuff with you, it just makes it ten times easier because it’s like i have a bestie who knows exactly what it’s like going through this. you are having a such a positive impact on literally THOUSANDS of people and it’s just so crazy how happy you make people. sending a thousand hugs and lots of love, you deserve the world and more !! keep pushing forward beautiful

yesterday was my first day of official recovery and i’m so terrified, but you have given me so much courage and i wish i had your strength! thank you, Ro ❤️

Your videos help me unimaginable amounts, 8 minutes into the video I decided to get myself something to eat after not eating breakfast or lunch. Your videos help me so much when I'm having a bad day Ro, ty :)

You are so perceptive and well-spoken. You're helping so many people with your content 💕

I've been in recovery for two years and am still struggeling, but your videos have seriously helped me. They way you talk about anorexia and your own journey is so inspiring, and it honestly gives me the motivation boost that I myself need. 🧡

I’m 14 and have been in recovery for one month. You are so inspirational and I remember watching your videos on my first day of eating on a meal plan and you really helped me to understand why I need to eat and you have made it easier at meal times because I always think: “What would Ro say?”. Thank you so much, you are doing so well and I think you are amazing

I just recently have started feeling like I'm relapsing after finally reaching a healthy weight, but this video really inspired me to get back on track. Thank you so much Ro!

imma just say it, Ro is the best thing that’s happened to the internet in a while

Congrats Ro! You deserve everything you’ve achieved. You are a beautiful person, inside and out.

I recently opened up to my fam about my ed and started therapy. I want to thank you tbh. Im scared but I truly believe you helped me build up the courage to do so

RO, I cannot thank you enough for being such an inspiration to me. You should be SO PROUD of yourself for how far you have come. I started my own channel to document my ED recovery journey a few months ago, and you have been a great role model for me. You are so strong, wonderful and truly an amazing person. Thank you for being you and I wish you all the best in the future. We are ALL HERE supporting you ❤️💪

I don’t have an eating disorder and have never struggled with body image or my relationship with food, BUT I have experienced a whole host of other mental illnesses, and the way you talk about your experience and the mindset you have towards them inspires me and gives me so much confidence in myself. You seem so much healthier and stronger both mentally and physically and it makes me so happy to see how far you’ve come in only 6 months. Nothing but support and good vibes from me 🥰

I wanted an update so bad. Thanks Ro! I'm glad to hear how u are doing (:

So incredibly proud of you to see how far you've come. Being on a similar journey, your videos have helped me so so much. Literally, I remember one time I was going to restrict myself after feeling a lot of guilt but after watching one of your videos it pushed me not to do so. Sending lots of love xx

You've come so far, and its amazing!! Thank you so much for deciding to be such an inspiration to people struggling with this bit! You really are helping people, and helping yourself! ❤

You are doing amazing! You can do it honey! I’m so proud of you! ❤️

Thank you so so so much for helping me with my recovery and putting your recovery out there. You have helped a lot of people and without you, I would’ve never considered it. Now I’d say I’m so close to full recovery. But also remember, take it easy and love you so much

So utterly brave and inspirational. Darling you’ve got. This, life. Is there for you. For whatever you dream. You will get there ❤️

Forever grateful for you and your content. What a breathe of fresh air in the 'recovery' community. Thank you for being so honest and true to who you are and what you stand for. Always had faith you'd get here and i'm sure we all have faith that you will get to where you want to be

I've missed you and your wealth of knowledge. moving mountains girlll

10 plus years in recovery here - and I resonate with everything you are saying here. You’re doing awesome - keep going; it gets even better!

This is unbelievably inspiring 🥺 you are incredibly smart. A gem of a video.

you’re incredible and i’m very proud of you ❤️ keep fighting!

I’ve commented already but…. this is intelligent recovery, my heart swells to hear how you process and challenge your negative thoughts…

Your parents are really amazing. Your mum especially pushing you along. Her encouragement from the background is one of my favourite things in your videos. Your parents are the best cheer squad.

WE LOVE YOU!! You’re beautiful. Keep going, girlie 🖤🤗🤗🤗

I’m so proud of you RO you have come a long way you deserve all the self care and love

" Think of your body like a friend" Wow. That really hit me. Keep going Ro 💞

You should be incredibly proud of yourself - I’m proud of you & I don’t even know you! Your hair looks thicker and healthier by the way 🤩

CONGRATULATIONS, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU💖💖💖

I'm really proud of you and I admire your strength, seeing you eating those fear foos that I have till this day made me really rethink my choices in life, you have inspired me and many people! Thank you for existing 💓

I needed to see this video, I have been struggling with loving myself and putting on weight. I have issues with accepting weight gain, it's hard but this video encourages me to do better💕. Thank you and congratulations on your accomplishments, you are amazing!!😊

I love how raw and honest you are about your recovery. It's made me consider speaking up and getting help. You're such an inspiring, strong, person and you don't know how much you've helped all your viewer's

Cryinggg 😭 I’ve absolutely loved watching your journey! I love you girl keep pushing ❤️❤️❤️

I'm so happy for you Ro. You've done such a good job trying your hardest to heal and get your old life back. Keep it up. Hopefully your videos motivate other people and help them overcome this horrible disease. Lots of love! 😘😘

Ah Ro.. you are incredible. Thank you for your honesty about now having to face the things anorexia has blocked out. So proud of how far you've come. Also feeling so protective when hearing about those vindictive comments. You're wonderful. Be well.

I was there six months ago, and I'm there now, watching this video. I will never be able to tell you in words how proud I am, I'm so proud of you. And saw you blooming during this months was a gift. We love you Ro

Ro, you look amazing!! I’m so proud of how strong you are!!!!

We are so endlessly proud of Ro!

I needed to watch this. Ugh you got the the “am I happy” section, and I’m in tears. It is nice to hear someone else you those words. I have been feeling so stuck and unhappy and have been trying to hide it and it’s hard. You gave me a moment of a break today when I could hear you and relate to what you feel. THANK YOU.

your skin and hair look SO incredibly healthy!!! you’re doing wonderfully. you have got this. 💗💗

You look so healthy and happy!! I’m so so proud of you Ro! 💘💘

I’m smiling so hard at your achievements. Congratulations!!!!

You would be an amazing psychologist! I hope that you start to feel comfortable with your individual self soon and enjoy life more and more. You are strong and have so much to be proud of! I can imagine that school has been tough for you. Don't stress. There's different paths to achieve the same goal. I did a foundation year in university and it was actually really good for me :).

i can't wait to see it go from "rorecovering" to "rorecovered"

Omg u look so good!!! U look so healthy and radiant!!!!! Your skin is so glowie and bright!!!!!! Im so happy for you!!!!!! I hope you love and enjoy your life, and food!!!!!! Much love ❤ I'm so happy for you!!!!!!

You're such an inspiration Ro and we're all so proud of you!! xxxxxx

So proud of you and sending you so much love ❤️

I can’t tell you how much you have been a help in my own recovery. I’ve been in “recovery” for a year now. But it was only today that I feel like I’ve had a break through. I’m going to fight and I’m going to recover. You’re content shows me that it’s possible to make progress and I’m so grateful for that.

I'm so so proud of you!!! I also want to give you a huge thanks for sharing your journey with us. I've been struggling with anorexia for 10 years and I have fake recovered so many times. I was relapsing pretty bad when I first found your channel but something made me stay and I kept watching every new video. I found that you sharing your journey actually made me want to recover for real this time, and I kinda felt like it was now or never. So I decided to do my best to get my life back. I don't think you understand how much you've actully helped me. I felt so alone and miserable but when I found you I suddenly had someone I could relate to. You challenging yourself also inspired me to challenge my own fear foods and rules. Thanks for being a recovery buddy. I wish for all of us to be completely free someday

You’re such a beautiful human. It’s an honour to watch your recovery.
