Journaling gets so many ‘ughs’ but she’s a LIFE. CHANGER. The more you write , the more you’re motivated to make gorgeous memories to write about ! She’s beauty , she’s grace , I stand by it 💫♥️♥️♥️♥️

Hey Ro, can you maybe make a video/give some advice on recovering while living alone/not at home? And how to deal with the guilt on spending money on food. I struggle with both atm while studying…. And i‘m sure i‘m not the only one who faces these difficulties

I would love if you made a video about journaling! I've been trying to start for a long time, but I never quite got the hang of it.

please please please make a journaling video whenever you can!!

Yay, nice to see a new video! :) You're one of my favourite RU-vidrs - you're so much of a realist and it's refreshing. Taking things down to their tiniest components re: goals has really helped me get stuff done. I rarely read more than 10 pages a day, but I love the reading that I do, so when I'm struggling to find motivation I say: 'just one sentence' and usually I end up reading at least two pages! :)

I love Ro♥️

Hi Ro!!❤

Im really scared to gain weight, i know no one will care how much my weight is but i have really big problem with it😓

💟💜💟💜💟💜

My mood has been pretty low this evening but seeing this video has cheered me up :) I could listen to you talk for hours! Words can’t describe how much your channel has helped me! Wishing everyone an amazing 2023 ❤️

Hi Roe! I am recovering from anorexia, and I have been watching you since your channel began. You are my favorite RU-vidr through my recovery. You have helped make me feel not alone, and I admire you a lot. I agree with your views on recovery. I appreciate your mindset, and I am so thankful you are promoting recovery and opposing diet culture. You have helped more than you can imagine, and you continue to bring a smile to my face every time you post. I don’t know what kinds of comments you got when you told us you were challenging your vegetarianism. But I believe that by doing that, you advance a rare but important idea: that some dietary preferences could be part of an eating disorder, no matter what people tell themselves. I have watched videos by other RU-vidrs in recovery while being vegan, vegetarian, and especially those that describe themselves as lactose intolerant, eating dairy alternatives instead of just lactose-free cows milk. I have long wondered if in fact these were disorder restrictions, and this has really bothered me. When I heard that you were challenging your vegetarianism and encouraging others to challenge restrictions, I was grateful and so hopeful for you and for others watching you, that maybe you would inspire them to do the same. I imagine it was very uncomfortable, or even painful, for you to challenge your vegetarianism. Especially because you were vegetarian for so long. Also, prevailing culture currently applauds eating vegetarian or vegan, avoiding dairy, avoiding carbs, avoiding gluten, avoiding fats, etc. Certainly, some people may need to eat this way because of medical needs. But it seems to me that these approaches to eating lead to a wide spread belief that these foods should be avoided because these foods themselves are “bad.” But you made my day when I heard you were challenging your beliefs about food in case they were restrictions for your eating disorder. You are amazing and strong. I am proud of you for three reasons. First, realizing that your vegetarianism may be a restriction. Second, challenging it and giving up being vegetarian by listening to yourself and acting on what you think is right for your body and your mind. Third, promoting that idea of challenging restrictions to others who may be using their dietary preferences as a restriction. You are an inspiration to me by doing that. I hope others that are recovering will follow and challenge that too. So thank you from the bottom of my heart, Roe. Remember: You are Worthy, You are Beautiful, You are Enough. 💗

Hi Ro, i just want you to know that you've helped me so much in my journey and I look forward to your videos every weekend

This was the first year that when i was setting my goals i noticed that none of them were about exercise or eating or anything. When i realized that, i knew how far better i am in my recovery process. I hope everyone a fantastic year and a great recovery :)

My new year goals involve exercising in a way it's fun, not just for body composition. Also, I have to figure out what I want to do after my psychology bachelor, I always thought sports science was my interest, but I'm challenging that thought as it might partly be because I'm so compelled to exercise. The hard thing about letting go of my strict athlete-wannabe lifestyle is that I find so many options now and I really can't decide what to focus on😭 the decision fatigue often leads me to just go back to my gym routine and shut out all the other thoughts. And the pressure from my mom to finally decide on a career path doesn't help either... Maybe someone can relate

can we just appreciate how INCREDIBLE your hair looks😍 you style it so well it and it’s so thick and healthy and shiny and it suits you so so much❤️

how do i overcome my ed as my identity? especially when my family seem to care about me more when i am undereating? i can’t let it go properly

In case anyone else has a terrible attention span, here is a summary of the goals. I was having a hard time keeping track/processing all of them, so hopefully this will help someone else 1. Be more present, live in the moment. 2. Read more, even just a couple pages a day at the start). 3. Talk more kindly to yourself, challenge unkind ad unhelpful thoughts. 4. Set realistic (small and achievable) goals. 5. Listen to your body in terms of rest and hunger. 6. Get fresh air every day. 7. Keep your space tidy. 8. Learn a new language. 9. Make more of your day, be conscious about how you're spending your time. 10. Less screen time. 11. Reach out for help. 12. Grow out of or donate/sell clothes that don't make you feel good. 13. Pick up a hobby, try something new. 14. Live more minimally, less things. 15. Be less judgmental. 16. Drink more water. 17. Set an amount to fundraise for charity, or just donate what you can. 18. Do more things that scare you. 19. Experiment more with cooking and food. 20. Get dressed (get out of pajamas) every day. 21. Take more pictures of the people/things you love. 22. Travel to other cities and countries (if you have the means). 23. Step outside your comfort zone. 24. Set better boundaries, its okay to say no. 25. Practice daily gratitude. 26. Stick to a sleep schedule. 27. Say nice things to other people. 28. Stop forcing yourself to exercise (for compensation/punishment). Move joyfully. 29. Take medication on time, and daily. 30. Face any rules you have around food. 31. Start the thing you've been too anxious to do. Go for it! 33. Journal your feelings. 34. Stop bodychecking. Cover mirrors if you have to. 35. Reconnect with old friends. Friendship and supportive/emotionally healthy relationships are important. 36. Forgive yourself. 37. Work toward body neutrality, especially if body positivity is unrealistic for you. You don't have to love your body. It can just be your body. 38. Go to a place you've been wanting to go to. (I think I missed one, but i don't know where, or I am terrible at counting, sorry) Prompts: 39. Set yourself one mental goal. One way that will help your brain become happier and healthier. 40. Write one physical goal (not related to manipulating your body), as in going out and volunteering, getting fresh air, etc. Thank you Ro for all of the wonderful ideas! I particularly love 36, that was important to hear. It might take me the whole year, but I will try my best.

Thank you so much for this! I've been in recovery for 2.5 years now and I always love watching your videos, but this one inspired me to sit down, write down my lingering fears around food and make a plan to tackle them within the next few months, one at a time. 3 years ago, I never would have thought I would ever be able to do this. I'm having dinner as I'm typing this. You are definitely amazing and not boring and you have honestly helped me so, so much.

The interactive bit was really helpful. It felt scary to commit to the goals but that means it's important. I chose to stop calorie counting and to get together with my family more.

i didnt even realize this was your video. i watched you around when i first decided to recover, played your videos while i ate because it made me feel okay, or id watch them with my mom to help her understand me better. when i was strong enough, i dropped all ed media i consumed and your videos had to go with it too. im so glad to see you back now, you look so happy n so gorgeous. very proud of us

can’t wait to see the videoooo!!! have a lovely sunday luv🫶🏻🫶🏻

My recovery finally took a turn for the better when I started watching your channel. You’re such a breath of fresh air and shed such a positive light on recovery. Thank you SO MUCH for the hard work you put into your content. ❤❤❤

Hey Ro! I am still in recovery and feel the need to write down my thoughts etc. so I would really appreciate a video about journaling. I absolutely admire you and your videos. Thanks for being there for us! We love you Ro, have a wonderful year!

You are a really motivating person and whenever i feel guilty or something i watch your vedios and i feel much better your like a medicine in my life ❤

thank you ro for the gentle, loving reminders and messages 🫶🫶 your hair looks amazing!!

Hi Ro, just wanted to say I really appreciate your videos and the sense of optimism you bring. When I'm feeling isolated, watching your videos makes me feel less alone. Take care

you’re absolutely GLOWING omg so pretty🥹✨happy new year!!

To forgive myself is one of my biggest struggles and I really want to be easier on me this year! Thank you for your advices and the kind words. You really made my day!

hi ro, happy 2023!!! i chose to start recovery a few days ago and it’s hard to say the least but watching your videos gives me hope i can fully recover so thanks and i love you

can't wait to spend another year watching you grow ! love you and happy new year, i hope you will have a beautiful year ✨✨✨

yes yes we would love a video about journaling!! I really want to start doing it but Idk exactly how to started it

i would love a video on how you started journaling! i feel like i won't be able to commit to it and ill look back on it and find it cringey idk

btw I’m the girl on Instagram who told you my mum loves your dog HAHAH

hi ro, im 13 and im currently in weight restoration in hospital and im so grateful as your channel is really helping me get through it.❤️

Ah I’ve you do come to Edinburgh would love to meet you xx

Thank you for always inspiring me to do my best, even when I don't want to! I hope your New Year is going to be as wonderful as it can be for you!💛

Such a great video - you've made a slightly crappy day just that little bit better. Thank you ☺

Does anyone have tips to stop body checking?

Yay! Ro, I’m so happy you’re back❤️ Today’s my 17th birthday and I am so happy that I could watch your new video today it’s making my birthday even more special🥰 thank you so much.

A video on journaling would be nice Ro!

thank you for everything that you do.

Great video Ro! I love these ideas 🤗🥰💕💕💕 Happy New Year! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 xoxo Love from Hollywood! xoxo

I LOVE rock climbing 🧗 ❤

Love this video Ro! you are so inspiring!

your fringe suits you so much!xx

I don't know you in person but I am proud of you Ro!

omg your hair!! i love it

Hi ro Recovery has been hard lately but ur videos always give me hope and happiness to keep going Thank u so much xx

You're a legend Roe! Thank you for always motivating loads of us and when I felt like giving up you sparked an inspiraton in me to keep going!! have a great one, Loads of love❤❤❤

These goals are so helpful, I think everyone can implement almost all of them into their life in some way. At first I thought: wow, 40 goals, I don't think I can even tihnk up that many. You thought of things I would never think of but which are really useful. Also I love your phone case :)

I rarely use screens or social media. I love and have the same goal to read more this year. My daughter wants to learn Italian this year and I'm thinking of going back to French which I did in high school. I am a portrait painter, and I use oils, so I love the idea of getting a hobby. We're also going to New Zealand to ski this year!

I'm a former male anorexic. Watching your videos makes me happy, you seem to have fully beaten the disorder! I'm happy for you!

So excited to watch! Absolutely love your videos ❤love you!🌟

I also want to make more of my day and being on my phone never makes me happy. But I am constantly so exhausted that i can't move my body. But i also can't sleep and laying around doing nothing is too boring so i look for stimulation and the phone is the easiest way. I just wish i had the energy to do all my stuff but if rest is what i need then I'll be stuck resting for at least a couple months and that will stress me out so much that i will need even more rest and it just sucks. Sometimes i have phases were i get to menage everything and sometimes it gets really hard. I'm doing okay, i just need more energy and i hope i won't be so tired for much longer. I'm trying to give myself the time i need. I think listening to your body plays one of the biggest roles. If you're sitting in an uncomfortable position but i can't even move your leg to make you more comfortable then that is taking energy. I guess it's better to invest energy in being able to properly rest and be comfortable. Having a cup of tea or just getting a cozy blanket can work. Pressure usually takes lots of energy mentally for me, so I'll try to focus on what i need now even if that puts some other things to the side. Once I've regained some energy, i can do the other things. I hope y'all will have a good time and allow yourself to rest

oh my god. you look beautiful.. your hair is like beach waves! i don’t mean to comment on your looks to trigger anything, you really look like a fairy ❤

I would love to see some rock climbing videos! Climbing has been a big part of my ED recovery. It helped me focus on how amazing my body is for what it CAN do, and not put all my attention into hating on my body for not looking perfect. Climbing also gave me a reason to look after my body and eat well, be strong, hydrated and HEALTHY rather than trying to force it to look a certain way. I am now working toward becoming an OT and helping other people work on their mental health through therapeutic activity. If you would like a climbing gal pal hit me up! :D

Hi Ro, thanks for your videos! I was hoping that one day you could do a video on exercise. I’ve done well with food but I think exercise is still holding me back in my recovery with guilt etc. Thanks again!

I'm so glad I found your channel last year! Your videos are always so wholesome and comforting! Thank you! 💕 Also, your voice is very soothing! 💆‍♀️ Hope you'll have a great happy new year 🎆❣️

Your videos always make my day so much better. You are such an inspiration and motivation for me. Thanks, Ro🤍

i know you won’t read this but, you are such an inspiration for me, your videos are helping me getting out of this relapse, thank you so much PD: your birthday is one day after mine lols

Ro you are such a special and beautiful person. I can thank you enough for all of your help. You have helped me recover in so many ways which I am so grateful for. This video has so many helpful ideas which I love and that are so relatable. I was very anxious and was like how am I supposed to change my entire life and it was getting bme very overwhelmed becat I've been in a very difficult place. But these are such achievable goals that anyone can do so thank you. This was so very helpful and I related to like everything.

I say that so much especially when having conversations with people like I'm annoying, bothering ect

Edinburgh is a great city to visit, I'm sure you'll love it when you're there

I was waiting for your video! Thank you so much ❤ let’s recover all together and make this your OUR year! Mych love from belgium

My overarching goal for the year was just to commit to my own happiness and so I set mini goals to help me do this. I want to practice my hobbies more and start new ones that I’m interested in. I want to save some money so that I can do some nice things for myself I want to travel or at least book or plan some trips. And finally, and most importantly, I want to learn to accept my body and listen to it 💞💞💞

thank you for being an inspiration❤ trying to find a goal that i actually want that doesn't include changing my body is quite hard, especially when i keep thinking i should lose weight and stuff like that. this has given me great ideas, thanks💗. by the way, what language are you learning? just for curiosity. i'm planning to start learning czech soon.

Oh honey, you are SO NOT borring!! U are amazing, just the way you are ❤

Happy new years Ro! 🎉 Excited to watch more videos from you!

I loved & needed this🧡 Where is you bed from Ro? It is so beautiful🥹

Thank you for the video, Ro. I'm inspired to set some goals of my own and try my best. You're such a sweet and lovely person, you've grown so much and I love to see it. Have a nice day.

I would love a journaling video ❤

Happy New Years Ro

What language are you learning? Love this one!

I would loooove a video on how to start journaling!!!! 💕💕

ily

Mental: Forgiving myself for „wasting time“ with my mental ill was. Also speaking to myself like I would speak to a loved one. Physical: Play the guitar more cause it gives me so much joy and I deserve it. Mediate more because it helps me process my feelings in recovery 🏡💕

yes would love a journaling vid :)

Hi, Ro! Thank you very much for what you are doing. When I watch your videos, I feel safe and calm. It was like I was wrapped in a blanket. You also have a very nice voice) I've been watching you since the beginning, and I've been recovering at the same time, and your videos have helped me a lot. P.s sorry for a mistakes, I use a translator.

always look forward to ur videos :) such a comforting & safe environment.. btw ur hair looks simply stunningggg 🫶🏻

Pls I have written down so many of these prompts in my journal already. Thanks for sharing these queen!!!

love this SO MUCH !

I really love reading but I get the feeling my partner feels neglected when I read for prolonged periods as I like to do. Some people see reading as anti-social behaviour which is annoying.

Wtf anxiety literally is the worst. Because you are the farthest from boring and that. I love you to and you've helped me so much and I love when you come out with more videos.

Thank you for the video 😊 Also, your hair looks AMAZING 😍

omg you are beautiful ✨

Did you die your hair?

Hi Ro, I just wanted to say you’ve helped me massively without even knowing. Thank you so much. I’m more confident then I’ve ever been, and doing things I would not have done before!

Perfect video ! Love you ❤

Happy New Year Ro x

What language are you learning on Duolingo?

thank u so much for this ro!!! its so helpful to get lots of ideas that i can achieve and focus on within the next year. my first goals r to do stuff that i havent managed to do yet as ive been too poorly which motivates me to keep recovering cos this year i really want to get my first tattoo, learn to drive, get more piercings and go on holiday for my next birthday which are all really scary to me as i have anxiety as well as anorexia. but these are things i really want to do and these r encouraging me to keep going and not go backwards

Ro, can you please provide a pdf or make a time-stamp?
