*But I also would have loved to hear more details about the first few weeks in recovery *

Love Fat is such a good and helpful book and I love to read about other people (life)-stoies❤

I love your videos, I am stuck in quasi-bullshit and really need to get more relaxed about stuff 🧘🏻‍♀️❤

Do you think you can predict how your body will respond to recovery from the way your body responded to the eating disorder?

Hey Tabitha, I don’t know if you remember me (my name is jazmine ), But I made a comment on one of your videos last summer and you responded to it. I was in recovery and this had actually gone great that summer. Unfortunately, once school started, it all went downhill and I’m starting to absolutely hate myself for it. I have the giant guilt and it’s eating away at me and I swear everytime I think, I cry. I’ll explain a bit and what’s happening but once school started? I was doing iffy, ok. It was about 3-4 months into school when it all started going downhill and I started skipping breakfast, then 5 ish months in, I wasn’t eating breakfast or lunch and it’s been that way for up till now. I only eat dinner and then I indulge on the weekend because it feels “safe”. I hate hate hate myself for continuing doing this because I had NO reason to. I was happy with myself, I felt great, I was able to eat whatever I want and I wasn’t gaining weight (according to my parents) but for some damn reason I just went and screwed it all up and I said it before but I’ll say it again I’m HATING myself because of it. What was the point??? I could have lived the rest of my life fine and dandy if I just toughened up any thoughts of doing it was having, and yet here I am. The worst part (to me and I’m aware ik it’s also my ED) is that I haven’t gone down much if any weight and in fact probably have gained weight doing this. I mean, I can see it, my thighs are touching again, my stomach, my legs. I hate it and I feel sick. There was absolutely no point and I just screwed myself over and so now I just don’t know what to do. Summer is a week away and I can’t stand thinking of wearing a bathing suit. Also just because I’ll be eating more and who knows what will happen with my weight. Then next school year with swim and if people notice since I was smaller. I feel like a ruined everything, it could have all been fine and it was going great and then now I just messed it up and can’t even start from square one with my weight (I know that sounds bad but it’s just how I feel and I wanna be as honest as I can) I don’t even know what the point of writing this is, I have my back against the wall I just am terrified and so angry. I could have had the life I wanted but no. I’m sorry if this is a lot but you’re just a person I feel really comfortable with since I can’t share this with anyone else.

I wanna marry this video.

I’m asking the opinion of the audience here because I know she doesn’t respond! Maybe she has touched on this but I didn’t see it anywhere! Eating disorders come in every size right? So those who are on my 600 lb life….. who need to recover from their eating disorder , by continuing to eat the 10000 calories they already eat… they eat without restrictions, and keep going to 800, 900 or 1000 lbs! If the idea is to stop restricting to then stop binging, but they aren’t restricting to begin with! Do you see what I’m saying ? I’d love opinions

I am still very much in the grip of my ED. Content like this is amazing and so helpful. Thank you tabitha.

Hi Tabitha, I’m Mikey! I just stumbled upon your channel again for the first time in a year. When I was finally ready to and sick of quasi-recovery (not recovery lol) and the relapse I was in, I didn’t know where to start. I came across your channel and religiously would watch your videos and find the ones that suited to the issues I was having in that moment, and watch them until I felt a little better. I truly was trying to apply your words to myself and to believe them because I knew what my brain was telling me at the time was not logical (ed voice). I want to say a sincere and HUGE thank you to you. I seriously cannot thank you enough for your encouraging videos helping to push me to make that progress and have those revelations. I don’t think I would be where I am now with kicking anorexias ass without them lol, but I’ve been reflecting on the progress I have made and I am so happy to say that I am truly at a place where I am not affected at all by ed thoughts, and when I think of anorexia, I don’t apply that to myself now- I see it as the past version of myself who struggled. I am not my ed anymore. Once in a while a thought may enter my mind, but I know that is at it is- a thought, and I ignore it or go against it by getting that extra snack or something, and it’s extremely easy for me to let go of those thoughts, it’s taken a long time to get to this point, but it is crazy to say, because I never thought I’d ever be capable to getting to this point! I know this is very very long, but I truly wanted to say thank you for putting such great advice out there for people who need to hear it. My life has improved in almost every aspect since being truly recovered, it is so much more beautiful and full of life, words cannot describe how grateful I am to be recovered and to have a deep appreciation for my body and myself as a person. I am sure that you have also helped so, so, so many others and I am truly grateful that you decided to use your voice on this topic. Thank you again and best wishes for you 🤍

So very glad you are back without any cost involved. Your content, knowledge and lived experience hard to put a price on. You are appreciated Tabitha 🙏😊
