Allie you just SMASH this!!! It's amazing to see you so quickly gaining back the fun and adventure around food, and allowing yourself to really enjoy despite the fear. I'm nearly 3 years post recovery and you make me remember these beautiful moments of getting my life back!
I personally don't struggle with an ED, but your channel popped up as a recommendation and I was faced with the most sincere and humble person I have seen in a long time. Thank you for being here, both on this platform and on earth in general.
I don't usually comment but it is SO hard getting over the mental block that comes with trying to conquer an ED which I know is ruining my health in so many aspects & physically and emotionally tearing me apart. It is so hard to see anything other than numbers, feeling guilt, going to bed hungry etc,. I am SO PROUD that you are eating and getting healthy!! I am on the same journey and honestly your health is way more more important than numbers. We deserve to eat and live a healthy life and feel wonderful!
you are ABSOLUTELY right. we deserve better 😤 i’ve found it helpful to remember that any resistance to recovery comes solely from my ED - it’s acting out of self-preservation, which makes sense. but that doesn’t mean you need to act according to what it’s telling you 😌 the less ED, the less resistance. hold out for that 🫶🏻
You’re so brave! The guilt after eating food is really saddening, but at the end of the day, every human eats to stay alive ❤️ I wish I could be like you..
If you could make a video on ways to deal with food guilt that would be amazing!! You're doing such a good job and you're really inspiring me on my recovery journey
It's so inspiring to see people share their stories. I've been in anorexia recovery for 2.5 years, although I've gone through some small relapses and still struggle every day to pick up my food. (Recovery is not linear!) After leaving my partial hospitalization program, I've kind of struggled to keep myself accountable and have a hard time doing this on my own. I'm happy I found your channel as it is reminding me to continue to challenge myself in order to truly be happy in life, so thank you. Let's get through this together!❤
As a Brit..I can't riot because I don't like them (mushy peas) one bit ... but they're a common side with fish and chips!! Good job on your recovery, you look amazing and are doing fantastic!!
As a Brit lemme explain mushy peas to you haha so basically it’s a super common thing to get with fish and chips (and they’re served hot). The reason they started mushing them is because when peas and mushed they don’t roll around on the shop floor hahaha basically just easier to deal with AND THEY TASTE INCREDIBLE
I looked it up and apparently sultanas and raisins are both dried grapes but they're just two different types. Basically, raisins are darker in color and sultanas are lighter in color and the two are dried using different processes. Sultanas are also only made from green grapes. The more you know!
only found your page last night but I love your vids and are honestly kicking butt. I don't like commenting on someone's food, but yours is super aesthetic. In saying that, I'd love to see an 'ugly' foods or an unaesthetic food challenge day. because they are delicious and nutritious too. i know you most likely agree hehe
I love your videos so much!! You're one of the people who has inspired me to try and recover from anorexia as well, and I think you're doing amazing!! Sending love
The mushy peas are labeled 'chip shop style' as many fish and chip take away shops here in the UK serve mushy peas as an alternative to normal peas alongside the fish and chips! I defo recommend making your own with a squeeze of lemon, they're a childhood favourite !
ohh i defs should try them again with lemon + seasoning! they’re still a bit of a mystery to me though. why mash the peas when you can serve them whole 😂😂
@@ZKJT364 meat 🫶🏻 pies 🫶🏻 !! they are ICONIC and i can’t believe other countries don’t really have them. vegemite and timtams are top tier aus snacks as well!
Thank you for sharing your recovery with us. I am so proud of you and it’s so brave you’re taking those steps! I love your postive self talk and you’re helping so many people by showing you can do it. I personally have never struggled with anorexia but with binge eating and your words make me feel less bad about the food I’m eating and show me that food is fuel. We deserve food no matter what. Thank you so much you are amazing! All the best for your recovery, you are so strong and have already come so far! ❤️
I’ve just recently found your Tik Tok and now your RU-vid channel and I must say, I am so freaking proud of you. I personally don’t struggle with an ED, but your spirit and wonderful drive to get better is inspiring to me. You’re amazing and I hope you see that. You’re also freaking adorable and absolutely beautiful. Rooting for you all the way from Idaho in the USA. Sending so so much love and light your way. ✨❤️🩹
Ahh, you’re such a sweetheart! Just came across your channel & I absolutely loved your explanation of why you wouldn’t go into the deep private depths of your ED. I’m 36, I have an ED at the opposite end of the spectrum. When I was in hospital many years ago, I met some beautiful humans, but yes.. it became so competitive regarding both MH & ED’s. It made my heart so heavy & sad. It’s refreshing to see someone on their journey speak as you have, I do hope others take a leaf out of your book regarding their own journeys 💗 Haha! Mushy peas are traditionally served with fish & chips, they’re just mushed up peas with mint! I don’t rate them, but many seem to like them lol. Our British equivalent to Vegemite is marmite, I wish you could try some, I’d love to hear the comparison! A raisin is dried naturally, but a sultana is dipped in veg oil and acid and then dried (which gives it that sultana yellow colour!) - both are from grapes. Fun fact lol! I’d love to see a little day in your life, perhaps a little video (however, only if you feel comfortable doing so!) about you; if you have siblings, animals, plans for your future, studies etc :) Sending you many blessings, & well done on this vlog, another day!! Proud of you x
🥹🥹 thank you for this lovely comment!! EDs can be so so competitive and it can be hard to stay focused on your own path. i hope that you have the help you need to heal 💛💛
Allie thank you so much for this video!! You are so amazing and strong and brave and I’m so proud of you!! I have a few video ideas 😅 what if you cooked your new favorite food into recovery or made a video of you showing all you interest and hobbies
youre doing so so well im proud of you and thank you so much❤ i came across you a few mins ago and ordered noodles today! even though i did feel guilty about eating them eating with you made it so much better!! also I'm gonna go munch on some strawberry cake now happy eating
Thank you so much for this, Allie! I’ve been struggling with my ED for the past couple years now, and I am so inspired by your recovery. You are doing such amazing things! 🩵
"Is it the British equivalent to vegemite?" - no we have Marmite! Also, mushy peas are an acquired taste even for a Brit lol! They're usually only used a dip on the side of fish and chips. I think you did amazingly!!
Seeing your reaction to mushy peas was so funny. There called chips shop because we have a type of takeaway that’s called a chippy(fish and chips) and it sell fried fish, sausage , chips and sides like mushy peas and curry sauce a good video idea maybe when your a little further in recovery could be to try different snacks/ foods from around the world. ( my name is also Alie!!)
Flippy lid cans/ tins are the best! I hate trying to open it with that tin opener aswell😂 I’m not a big fan of mushy peas, sometimes I like them and other times I hate them😂
Video suggestions : Trying foods by colour !! Or letter Or Trying different types of drinks !!!!!!! Like matcha and chai and hot chocolate and different sodas and stuff
As a british person, chip shop style purely means that it is something you would find in a chip shop which is a form of take away found in britain. Mushy peas are questionable in my opinion but some people enjoy them. Your doing so well and I am proud of you for stepping out of your comfort zone :)
I think mushy peas became popular because of chip butties (like takeaway chips in a roll), they can easily be spread on top as like a sauce. As a Brit I’m not too keen on them but it’s not bad 🙃
i don’t know if best by dates create stress for you or not, but i used to work in a grocery store and most of the time the best by dates are for the stores themselves. it helps them determine what’s been there the longest and what needs to be thrown out first! unless it smells or looks off eating something a couple of days after the best by dates should not hurt you!! if it makes anyone feel better i once ate a moldy muffin cause i couldn’t tell that it had gone bad. i mean my fault for trying to get a snack with the lights off 😂😂😂
I have so much to say about the peas as a British person! One is I hate salt on stuff but you have to have a little salt on them heated up or they’ll just be bland green mush. And definitely with potatoes (we sell them in chip shops so chips and fish usually) - I can’t stomach the idea of them with couscous! Give them a second chance with the right accompaniments!!
First of all as always so proud of you. Also wonderful to see you at a place where you are laughing and joking about food. Last thing every food is better when dinosaur shaped. You can’t argue it is just science. ❤
I have never liked pees at all 🤢. This was another amazing step, trying things that are new and who knows maybe some of these will be your new favorites!
Thank You I love your videos. Keep them coming. I have an ED and I’m from Aust 😊. The can opener. Haha that was funny as 😊. Maybe do a video on how to use a can opener
Video idea: Mum controls what I eat in a day Just a normal releastic what I eat in a day Chatgpt chooses what I eat Eating only oats for a full a day Eating my childhood favourites for a day
You could do what my followers pick for me in a day or you could do your followers for foods that's a popular one or you could do one where you go to different restaurants like take away restaurants kind of or even like you know like tea places and you can like ask the cashier or waiter like out of two options what you should pick and then that's like them picking for you
It’s really about volume of food you consume not just exposure to every food available. Some people with anorexia don’t fear specific food..it’s that they don’t consume enough food..so whilst food challenges are part of it..the reality is people eat foods that fit in a budget each week and eat the same things multiple times a week
yes for sure! but adding new foods does help in increasing the variety and resulting volume that you can eat. also when i try new foods i try really hard not to know the nutritional content, so i’m not just picking “safe” options or things that i feel will “fit”. i think that any challenge is a good challenge though!
I think she’s doing amazing pushing herself to try new things! It doesn’t mean the new foods have to be part of her regular diet, but variety is the spice of life, no? ☺️
@@sarahdore7884 sure but recovery doesn’t require you eat every food available but just to have nutritional variety….so you arent deficient in any nutritions..any food sampling beyond that is just life choices not part of recoverying from an illness
@@meherenow that’s definitely one way to recover! but for me my ED makes it genuinely difficult to eat new foods, so in order to fully recover from my ED, i NEED to challenge new foods. not from a nutritional perspective, but from a neural rewiring one 😌
@@allie.recovers neural rewiring occurs with any foods you don’t need infinite variety..I understand there’s a level of variety required but it’s very privileged to believe you need to food sample everything..many people recover on a budget
Feijoas are the BOMB but you need to get them straight from the tree - if they fall into your hand after a gentle tickle, then they’re ripe 😂 they don’t travel or keep well unfortunately.
