my name is jill and i love sharing my experiences regarding mental wellbeing, with a focus on eating disorder recovery, with you. i try uploading every saturday at 10:00 am and mainly talk about my journey towards body neutrality, a balanced life, purpose and more.
i also have a podcast on spotify: podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hugombatya
excited to talk to you in the comment section :3 xx
You are not alone! I've also been in recovery for 1.5 years and eat "unhealthy" food several times a day (but in my opinion it's just right for us and therefore also „healthy“). The question is also how much unhealthy food a healthy person eats. I find it difficult to assess this because most people eat restrictively these days…
Hi! Very helpfull content (as always!). I really appreciate your honesty ☺ But I have a question about your social life (during recovery): how did you find going out with friends/spending time outside/making relationship? I am very scared that recovery makes me lonely, because I am in this terrible phase where I feel like eating and staying home is better than... everything. I am terrified that I'll end up completly anti-social... hugs, xx
hello :) i can make a video on that but short version: during the phase with extreme hunger i isolated myself quite a bit and then when my hunger normalized more, i started becoming more social again, meeting up with friends etc. i think taking the time for yourself and eating tons is totally fine and this phase will take an end at some time! sending love, xx
You are 110% right! Comparison is a thief of joy...(and could become thief of your true self!). And I remember that one of the most challenging and helpfull thing during my recovery, was taking off my smartwatch. I changed it for typical old-school watch. 😊 it was so freeing! Hugs, xx
honestly, it's fine! something that helps is having frozen meals or viewing cooking like meditation and listening to a podcast :) but i get it. in recovery it's also completely normal to have no energy to cook
Alors tu veux apprendre à parler Français Jill ? Je suis là si tu veux. Je te suis depuis longtemps, ai aussi une chaîne RU-vid recovery et suis parisienne si tu veux t’entraîner. Je peux te donner mes coordonnées même si tu veux qu’on parle 😄🌷.
Thanks a lot! Yes, I am german 😂 Maybe you can tell me, where to find clothes...because I am also tall and now big. It is very hard to find things, that fit, because most of the people are so tiny. Sometimes I even go to men's shops. It might even be the reason for my ed, because in my puberty it was annoying to grow bigger than others on every part of the body.
haha guessed correctly :D as embarrassing as it is, stores with larger clothing sizes are great and the staff is used to bigger people. and then of course zalando tall section where you can choose large sizes and also send them back if it's not fitting happy sunday xx
I have another question: some recovery coaches always talk about mental recovery. They say you have to be selfloving and love your body before you can recover. They talk about traumarelease and so on. What do you think about that?
well said ,I really,appreciate ,I am still in the middle of it with lots of overshoot weight ,may I ask have you lost all of overshoot weight ,do you still have edema ,thank you
Thank you! It means A LOT for me and your metaphores are very reasonable! I really appreciate that you are honest about the whole picture of REAL recovery. Hugs! xx
Ich bin im Urlaub aber ich glaube damit hätte ich noch warten sollen denn zuhause fühlte ich mich so nah an der vollen recovery und im Urlaub struggle ich plötzlich wieder mit meinem körper 😢
ohh :/ das gefühl kenne ich! man ist plötzlich an ungewohnten orten, hat keine routine, macht mehr bilder von sich, isst neue dinge... versuche es als challenge zu sehen, möglichst viel und neues zu essen und dir immer positiv einzureden. you got this!🥰
@@chilltalkswellbeing Dankeschön! Also heißt das nicht, dass ich zurück geworfen werde, sondern ist normal, auch wenn man sich schon sicher fühlte? Ich hab halt hier auch wieder mehr Angst vor der Zunahme, weil es eben neue Dinge gibt und ich Sorge habe dass ich dicker zurück komme und alle es merken. Das war eigentlich auch schon weg dachte ich :]
Guys, this is THE SIGN for all of you who are stuck in quasi recovery or/and have disordered relationship with movement (and wait for 'higher power' to stop). I am telling you right now- just stop. I am being here since I remember- subscribe Jill's channel and all of the other recovery accounts... I've been in quasi for +3 years (eating was fine but excercising was something I just couldn't stop doing...even though I haven't had my period since 2016...). And I am writing this comment to tell you that 2 weeks ago THE ACCIDENT MADE ME STOP EXCERCISING. I broke my leg... and it wouldn't happen if I didn't have osteopenia... I am not able to move and I am not even allowed to walk for the next 6 weeks. It is very, very, very hard. The stillness is almost unbereable... I try to find hope and believe that life gave me chance to TRULLY and finally recover. So, for all of you who comes here to get permission to eat and REST- let me be your permission... Sorry, because it is not the subject of the video but... I really wanted to write this! And of course, thank you Jill for all of your content. It is very helpfull especially during difficult moments! Hugs, xx 💙
Maybe you could tell her, that you used to have an ed and that you were also freezing all the time then. You could say, that you are there for her, if she has questions or problems with this topic and you could tell her about your RU-vid channel...but I know it is hard to convince others, when you are going the opposite direction of everyone else. It is so common to eat little and move a lot. I guess there are lots of people with ed, who don't know about it.
Would you tell your BMI, which you have now? I know I am not supposed to compare and think about numbers. But I went 10 BMI-numbers up and I wonder, whether a BMI in the obese range can be normal. And I know that you are as tall as I am. I was never underweight according to BMI charts, but on the lower end when I started recovery. I would like to know, which BMI is to expect, when recovery comes.
hello :) for me i also went up A LOT in my bmi but that's normal. generally, bmi is a stupid framework to rather focus on how you feel instead of any numbers. there is no one bmi to expect, it's different for every person. xx, jill
You look great, why don't you want to show your body? This is exactly the body I am aiming for...You should show it more often, so the people can see, that you have truely recovered.
i don‘t want to show my body because i don‘t want looking a certain way to be the focus of my videos! it should be how you feel :) but i also understand what you mean
Thank you 😘 for me 'recovery perfectionism' is for example staying home to make sure I'll eat every 2-3hours instead going out with people. Or cancelling some plans if I know that it will make me eat dinner or breakfast later than usuall. It is like focusing on recovery so much (too much?) that sometimes I feel like it's become my excuse to avoid some challenges and going outside of my comfort zone.😐
ohhhh... but that's not recovery!! recovery is all about being flexible and eating whenever whatever. the only rule is to eat a lot and move little. xx
@@chilltalkswellbeing yes, I agree... I try to remind myself about it. 😪 I feel stuck in this disordered area 🥺 Like changing ED-perfectionism to another obsession (recovery-perfectionsm). 🤦🏽♀️
