a day in the life: anorexia recovery - what i ate on mum’s birthday & honest chats 

Ro you don't make it look easy, you make it look POSSIBLE which is so important. You help me to believe that I can also be fully free one day. Thank you for all your uploads you make me feel like I'm not alone x

"Do you ever just get sick of having a brain?" I have never resonated with something so much in my life.

I don't suffer from an eating disorder or such, but you are so calming and literally so gentle and nice! And lately, you look so happy and glowy! You are amazing!

"Basic bitches eat, BAD bitches eat everything" I can't hahahahaha, love you

Y'all, how is Ro so amazing. If every influencer was like her and helping people with their content, the world would be a better place. i have a really bad relationship with me mum & dad but seeing this video just makes me so happy

I know everyone says it but your eyes are stunning !!

I wont say thank you enough, you are the reason why I chose to start recovery from anorexia for real. You are helping me so much to get my life back. Thank you so much Ro, keep going you are so strong!

When Ro says she’s having her favourite thing for lunch and it’s not a sausage sandwich 😤

Does anyone else love ros eyebrows? Kinda random but yeah. They're stunning 😍

I feel like I’m watching old Ro come back which is so bizarre I had no idea who old ro was

“your beating this big man” 🥺🥺🥺 that reminded me of my big brother

I just want to say: you are not gaining weight you are gaining life! Life is so much worth than your weight! I know how hard it is to believe that but I know you can do it

Girl, I think you’re just incredible. You have taken (in my opinion) the hardest step which is talking about it, admitting it to yourself and others, which then helps normalise these conditions and illnesses so that the ones going through them don’t feel alone. I felt so alone and watching you has helped me see this huge community of people that are also searching for the same things we both are...to be happy. I just admire you so so much, I can’t really put it into words. I newly started my battle this year (man don’t some crazy things trigger it, life don’t even know?!) and it was so difficult to understand and to deal with what’s happening as I’m so new to it. So thanks again for just being my guidance and advice...despite the fact you don’t know me. I just think you need to know you’re actually changing and helping lives 🤎🤍 P.s a small question...on ur really bad days, do you have a certain mantra or quote you like to repeat to yourself that makes u feel better? I get really stuck in my head sometimes as I’ve heard u do xx

the way she looks just *so* fed up with her brain when she's making the icing xD I love how she talks back to it, like *licks finger* woah. crazy.

i'm legit skipping my online course to watch this. absolutely no remorse, my mental health needed this wayyyy more

happy birthday to the queen of homemade food please tell your mom that WE LOVE HER❤️❤️❤️

Just told my flatmate we are ordering Wagamama tonight, knowing someone else is fighting and winning this battle too, makes it so much easier. Thank you

yaaay! I'm grabbing a snack and we'll eat together. thank you Ro for being with me at my hardest. I love you so so much xx

im in anorexia recovery and im 14. ive kind of let go and accepted the fact that im not going to be stick thin anymore, but im 2kg until im weight restored, but i literally look like everyone else in my skl, which is so hard, but im pushing through

ro, i can't put into words how much you have helped me and so many other people to take that leap into recovery. you are such a beautiful soul and you inspire me everyday, seeing you glow more and more really gives me the faith that i can do this too. thank you for sharing this incredibly difficult journey with us!! all the love

I wish I had eyebrows like hers. Mine are still recovering from the 2011 fashion trend of little to no eyebrows. 🙃

So peaceful!!! Thank you for being here with us girl ✨

“You ever just get so fed up of having I brain. Can I just switch it off. Is that too much to ask for?” LITERALLLYYY how I feel every fckin DAYYYYYYYYY Haha so sad😅

LITERALLY just pressed to watch this but i cant explain to you enough how much i love your content and how much it comforts me🫂i love whenever you come out with a new video/instagram post/story and i want to say THANK YOU for going all in and sharing how life is better than a life with anorexia it really shows hope for me in the future to do the same!!

Today before I watched this I challenged a fear food and had a granola/nut bar for my afternoon snack. I love you Ro and am literally so proud of you. Your videos have helped me so much in my recovery ❤️

Your parents are so supportive, heartwarming to see. You can be very proud of yourself💛

So, I struggle with binge eating. It's strange how totally alike, and yet how totally different our struggles are and yet you touch on super relatable fields of thinking like taking emotion out of eating and how you'll barrel thru your own mental obstacles so you can enjoy time with the people you love. Truly, you rlly are so genuine and so refreshing. Love your content, love your story. 💖

your channel makes me feel so safe, and it is helping so many people (including me). It is amazing to see your progress with your relationship with food and your mindset is so strong. Keep being you. You are so empowering. Thank you

Imagine that some day in summer you’ll be sitting on a hill in Tuscany, enjoying the most beautiful sunset and eating delicious Italian snacks without getting caught up in the eating part

Your mum is the sweetest lady, sending love ❤️

As someone who started recovery a year ago, it's so lovely to see you being able to relieve childhood memories by trying snacks, celebrate birthdays ect ❤️❤️❤️ We don't need to feel guilty about letting ourselves enjoy thing s!!!!!!!

It was so significant to me that you had the bit of cereal at the end and didn’t sit down/plate it. You were just listening to your body and I admire that so much. You’re incredible for sharing your journey with us :)

I’ve never clicked so fast on a video🥰💕

You’re doing so amazing ro 🥰✨ can’t wait to see you flourish further xoxox

It's so heart-warming how supportive your family are. I feel privileged to be able to watch your recovery and become more confident in front of the camera, you've got this girl 👏

I would love if you shared more about your extreme hunger as I struggle so much and I’m so embarrassed and frightened of it and there’s not much content about it, it would be great for you to highlight so people don’t think they are alone! I love your videos and well done on embracing your fears and pushing yourself❤️

You seem so much more relaxed and yourself on camera! Thank you so much for helping so many of us

I just started to recovery. Thanks to you❤️❤️. You are so so brave and i love you so much❤️.

You are a true inspiration to anyone in recovery and i think your so strong and brave you deserve to live a happy care free life without the negative destructive thoughts regarding food or body image or anything else. I Honestly love watching your videos they always give me hope for the future in my recovery from my ED. Keep being you as your amazing ☺👏🏻✨

Love how you pushed yourself to please your mum and make her happy on her birthday, you're such a sweetheart ❤️

“megsy recovery” has some videos that might be really helpful to you if you haven’t seen them..... maybe go back to a year or two ago when she was still restoring weight etc. but she’s really amazingly helpful

Its definitely not easy and i know you always leave in the positive parts so people will think its easy but its not just hard at the table its hard as soon as you leave the table, its sitting with yourself, its feeling extreme hunger but not wanting it but also wanting it, its wanting recovery but wondering why you started, its everytime you get dressed, its late night thoughts, its returning to college and its seeing people again after a while. Its not just hard at the table and its not always positive but we are so proud of you for still choosing to fight everyday xx

Ro, I can’t say how much you have helped me through my own recovery. I somehow feel a special connection to you as we started recovery at literally the same time and it makes me so happy to see how far we have come over these (sometimes very difficult) months. Keep going ♥️

thank you ro, your videos are like a comforting blanket 💛

Can someone plz invite Eugiena Cooney

‘It’s not a torture for me it’s a torture for anorexia’ WRITE THAT DOWN

Ro ur the best 🥴❤️ a large part of my motivation for recovery is really for the sake of being able to spend quality time with my family again and give them the love and experiences they deserve to have with me (as someone they love)

When she said her college class was only an hour long...I wish. Just 1 of my classes is 3 hours long😪

Oh I would love to see a video on your hair routine! Also 'do you ever get tired of having a brain?' - yes, yes I do. What a chill and lovely video x

Sorry for the projecting I'm about to do but PLEASE don't give up on finding a therapist that works for you. I HATED my first ED therapist (and the next 6) and spent almost a decade in ✨recovery✨ (e.g. relearning to eat and maintain a healthy weight but still entirely hating myself and my body and never addressing underlying issues but also pretending like I did bc I bought a 🌸journal🌸). It took a lot of tries with a lot of different people before I found the one for me but now I regret not working harder to search her down years ago bc those are precious years I still ended up losing internally to my ED. Put in the hard work and fighting it takes to get a good therapist because you deserve to be 110% free and to do that you DO need that extra mental health help, no matter what you eat or weigh.

super proud of u ro! u are doing so well but i think just little things like picking the lowest calorie item from wagamamas is where ana is slowly creeping in :/ keep pushing urself, u got this

Hi, Ro. Haven't begun this video yet, bc I wanted to offer you some words. I discovered you yesterday and I'm pretty much watching all your videos slowly yet enjoying them AF. I'm 32, peruvian, and have EDs since I was 12, and I damn relate to your struggles SO DAMN MUCH!!! The things anorexia took away from you, the daily basis impossible tasks such as eating in the same table with the family, or celebrating a loved one's bday, or the constant arguments with mom, or the moment of truth in which you face that dreaded plate of food, the fact of gaining the trust of your family back... Man, I watch your videos and it's like reliving myself that path again. I watch you eat and it's like I'm going through that same spot you are in rn. And I love it. I can't help but feeling how you feel, because I was there not so long ago in one of my relapses. Being chronic makes it weirder. I get to have normal times and then a bad relapse, and so life goes on. Can't say I'm recovered now but I am now in a normal weight. I watch you and it's like watching what I tried to do some time ago, and I wish so badly I had the attitude you're having in this moment, because I didn't! I really, REALLY do believe that you're gonna have your life back and have that normality and enjoyment you so hardly fight for! Just remember to push but not force: go at your own pace but, as you say, without quiting any single day. Life at the other side can be very interesting and there's a lot more of things you can do and explore. I really hope you get to know the good things in life, so you keep fighting every day to keep them. In the meanwhile, I'll be accompanying you through your social media. You're a tough, smart one, and your future patients are gonna be so freaking lucky to have you!!!💙

Every time you upload a knew video I just go ✨🌞🍃🧚‍♀️💞 literally love them!!! Thanks for making us a part of your recovery and helping us through your videos

Yayyy! I can’t wait to watch! I love you and your videos so much, your journey has been so inspiring and you are so, so strong, I have loved watching you gain freedom throughout the last months!🥰💗

U saved my relationship with food. Thank you so much!!

I wish you did youtube when i was poorly, im so sure that you are helping many people out there. Soo proud of you for choosing to fight. We adore you Ro xx

I've said this before and I'll say it again Those are the most beautiful eyes!!!!

I feel like Ro would be the literal BEST friend ever, she’s so inspirational. Keep going Ro, your amazing

you’re so inspiring🤍 and you’re doing amazing.

does anyone ever struggle with binging in recovery. idk if its binging but i might be physically full but mentally hungery.

I HAD EGGO WAFFLES AND SYRUP FOR BREAKFAST TODAY FUCK YEAHHHHHHH 🙃

There is a way to switch the brain off, is called meditation ❤️❤️❤️changed my life, truly... And changed my brain, there are scientific studies about it...it did not all happened in a sec, but changed me so much and helped me so much

I think 82.1k people would echo your parent's sentiment "common kiddo, you got this". I don't know you, but I'm so proud of you. One scan of the comments and it's clear you're changing more than just your own life.

You're so inspiring to watch. Now I'm motivated to improve my mental health as well. Thank you, Ro

I hardly ever comment RU-vid videos but I just want to let you know that I think you’re so strong and brave, you’re always pushing yourself to reach your goals and that’s so admirable. Stay strong, you’re gonna make it. Love from Italy 🖤🇮🇹

So lovely to see you crying laughing at lunchtime, awww such a difference from your first video where you were stiff with anxiety and so seriously focused on the food ❤️❤️❤️

I really needed this. Your videos help remind me I am worth recovery and I deserve food. Thank you for everything you do for the community

You can be so proud of yourself for doing so well! I don't have an ED but struggle with mental health and to see you fight so hard is very inspiring. Also I cry regularly as your parents are so sweet, loving and supportive. I wish mine where like this.

okay, you KILLED this. i'm so proud of you girl!! and that ramen 😍😍 also i need a cupcake recipe (and don't beat yourself up about the frosting, mine turn out wayyy worse 😂)

Ro:“I’ve been demoted.” Also ro:”Yay!”

OK BUT the way you laughed with your family during lunch and just sat there eating and having fun is so inspiring

You are so strong, it's really amazing!!❤ love from the netherlands

When you said you were scarred someone would find your journal but now you write for you. That was the same with me. I was scarred someone would read it if I wrote my real thoughts they would be made but one day I was like this is for me this is my safe space for thoughts and to write memories that weren't caught on camera so I can enjoy them in the future.

Watching you grow and gradually get your life back is the most wonderful thing and such a privilege- thank you so much for sharing your journey with us Ro xx

this may be a weird compliment but i always watch videos in 2x speed but i watch you in normal speed because i enjoy hearing your peaceful voice

So beautiful, you go girl ♥️ Its so calming to watch you eat and overcome your fears. Glowing!

Haha the "This Country" clip! When we watched that episode I was WEEPING. 😂

You are such a wonderful person it's incredible! you helped me so much, I struggle with food since I was in elementary school, and I always hated myself for eating but it makes me happy to see how you enjoy food that you love and to see that you don't give up 💖✨ (sorry I am from Germany I hope you understand everything 😬)

you seem so much more confident eating!!

I think shorter hair whould look so nice on you with the pretty curls

I always love looking forward to seeing a upload of yours, your videos just give me so much life, the way you edit, the way you show how you’re thriving even when it’s hard, it’s just so real and I love that about you! Keep on going :))❤️

ro, you have literally no idea how much you have helped me throughout my recovery so far. you’re actually one of the reasons why i chose recovery over my eating disorder- im so so grateful. when i watch your videos, it feels like i’m recovering with my best friend. thank you for being so real.

You really remind me of Elzani

i watch you as my friend is currently recovering, and you’ve given such a great insight to life w anorexia + the recovery process! i hope i can be there for her as much as i can

Hey Ro, am I wrong or is your dog a service animal??? Is that a vest in him when you guys go on a walk?

i literally just am so proud of you ro like i know you must hear it a lot but seriously it makes me tear up because of how just proud of you i am. You are doing insanely well and I think it’s because I also like know how anorexia makes you feel plus the thoughts and what’s kind of going through your brain, but you’re fricking smashing it and I look up to you so much. i love you Ro well done!!

You have the most lovely calming voice and it makes me happy to be along for the journey of seeing push thru. I struggle with crippling anxiety and depression and often feel I just don't have it in me to push thru some days. I wake up thinking I can't wait to be back in the bed at the end of the day. But watching you persevere does give me hope! Thank you for sharing of yourself with us all. 💗

i’m only a few minutes in but i already know this video is gonna continue to help me not dive deeper into my eating disorder, like every single one of your other videos. 🥳 i appreciate you so incredibly much. thank you so much for being so open and honest, it helps me beyond what i can put in words. 💛

I was having a very very intense internal conflict of wether or not I really wanted to recover. I found your videos, and you know what? You have made me realize there is so much more to life than just what I look like, and I’m sick of my life being taken over by my eating disorder. I’m going to recover, no matter how hard it is. Thank you. Truly thank you so much. (:

I absolutely don't think it's unrealistic. You are literally the most real ED recovery RU-vidrs there. You are so honest, so genuine, so strong, and it's truly amazing. It's so inspirational to see you fight so hard. I can tell how much it scares you each time you face a fear food or step out of your comfort zone, yet you keep going. Stay you

You are such a beautiful human 🥺I love your videos and have been following your journey...SO PROUD OF YOU!!!

I get fed up with having a brain at least 75% of the time.

I just love the way you look so happy and make it an ice day for your mum❣you've developed so so much and you're such an idol for me... keep on going!

Aauuwwhh...Ro!!! Seriously you just make my heart melt. I just flipping love your encouragement, how real you are, your sooo kind, sooo freaking inspiring!!!! I swear your personality I love, you remind me of me a lot lol not to make that sound to weird..sry🤭 but you support me sooo much. I am sooo happily proud of you, always have been. I admire your courage, your determination, your creativity, attitude, intelligence and love. You have such a tender heart/soul. I not only love and appreciate the courage you put in trying/having all the scary foods and trying to frequently challenge them like the wagamama's, your Mum's bread, the awesome funny cupcakes, the sammy's, the snacks...uuh yaaas but also as you do this/eat them you talk it out. I've said it before but I love that because I try to do that when I'm in my head...I try to encourage myself, I'm trying to reach out, trying to talk out the irrational thinking, the behaviors...it's sooo true what you say...have to change, can't just go around the fear, must go through it despite the feelings. Oh...I do understand the physical feeling you go through as well...omg my body is like that too. But so glad you are taking care too, soo Incredible, inspiring to me. It helps me, I don't feel so alone about that(I feel inadequate). You do want to get better. You do want recovery finally, you do want more out of life not to just survive. It's about being there for you now, being there for your love ones, being there for the special and not special moments, it's about being in the moment, it's about being happy, it's about...well ..waaay more than just fear foods, body weight, calories, not feeling, restrictions...etc...you matter. Yes you do. I def need to tell myself this more. I'm soo happy and proud of you. You made the day far better than what your ED wanted you to experience. You made your Mum sooo happy...aaaww it was precious 💜. You deserve the best. I'm so glad you keep kicking butt and also saying that it's not easy all the time...no...I believe you too trust me. I totally believe you. Your human too...!!! So yea, oh also I think I said this but I've always loved your fashion/style sense...love your outfits, and omg the jewelery is gorgeous...the necklaces and those earrings...cuuuute. I want one of your necklaces so bad...I'm a make some but yours are sooo adorable. Well...enough typing from me lol sry. Love you loads Ro. 🖤🥊🕊️🤸🆓💜👌🥢🤯🎂🍎🏡🤗🐾🥘🥪🌰🧁🥣🍌🥂🚗🏞️🎁🎥📝📙☮️

You look so happy🥺 (And absolutly deserve to be)
