An eating disorder took her life and changed her family’s world 

A beautiful write-up. Hope you are doing good.

This disease is the only control that an individual has. Everybody else has control their life to the point that the only thing they can do is either eat to morbid obesity or starve themselves either way death is coming. And it's horrible. This disease is about control of the self. And is often put on us by environment family. Ture

I wish she had been just as kind to herself as she was to everyone else.

What a sweet comment. Very beautifully said. I hope your doing well honey. Prayers sent your way. 💕

I have a daughter named Morgan so I feel maternal here - I hope you are doing well and loving yourself as much as you should!

I think Russell Brand said once that getting over an ED is worse than getting over an addiction to heroine…and I agree it’s horrible what it does to you…destroys you

​@@coconutsciencegirl9232 depends on the severity of the addiction or the eating disorder... they're both deadly.

@@awkwardautistic i always felt eating disorders themselves are an addiction, it consumes every part of your being. But I do agree, depending on how severe both can an eating disorder and drug issues can kill

@@Mysteriuminiquitatis1998 eating disorders are absolutely an addiction/disease, like drug/alcohol addiction. I’ve had all three

@@Mysteriuminiquitatis1998 I just commented that to someone. It seems the same as any other addiction just food is the focus or control of food intake.

You are absolutely beautiful, and I am so proud of you

To be able to come back from that is absolutely amazing.

I'm so happy you're here.

Beautiful words and thank god your in recovery. So many won't recover coz it's such a viscous disorder of the mind. But i hope that people suffering get the help to be honest there isn't enough help out there. Weight restrictions to get, waiting lists in places and it's really sad. But well done for your recovery. I feel so bad for these parents and that poor girl. 💕

Good for you! You've turned this into something positive and I know it's a struggle. I hope you continue to be a blessing to others as well as yourself! 🙏👏🇨🇦

Yes, because the focus tends to be on the individual (their body, plus their eating etc). There is a huge lack of focus on how it started and what the family system looks like that literally molded their neurological development. There is a reason why the most effective treatment is bringing in the parents too and looking at the family system, how do they deal with emotions. With a lack of proper tools to have an outlet and also deal with emotions in desperation it lands in an eating disorder in hopes of gaining control over a situation they (the one with the eating disorder), feel they have totally lost. It sadly ends up being the thing that rules them and there is a total loss of control, even more so than the things they wanted to control through the food and shifting the body (ehich isn’t really about the body, it’s a symptom just as the food is). This is about emotions and not about food and ”looking pretty”. It’s a desperate attempt to regulate the emotions, and it goes sideways. It is genetic, but people got a vulnersbility too through their upbringing and feeling emotionally abandonned. Many within the healthcare system isn’t aware of the emotional part and focus mainly on the weight of the patient. Just like many family members will take weight gain/loss as a sign of someone being done in their treatment and are finally healthy again and have gotten rid of their eating disorder. This is not the case, the weight is not an indicator of how someone is doing emotionally just because it changes, the person can still very much be ill. For example a person who deals with anorexia can have treatment and within that progress people may think their disorder is ”healed” if they start to gain weight, but often times it goes from starvation to sort of bulimic tendencies (which isn’t someone who is well the disorder has just shifted in its appearance). It takes a long time for people to get healthy, but it isn’t impossible. This is not to be used to cast blame, but to know what areas to deal with. The reason so many get better when they are in treatment away from home, and then gets worse when they get back home is because they are right back in the same house with the same people where they fell ill. / Scandinavian who is a former uni. psychology student

​@@soilgrasswaterair Thank your for all your explanation and information ⚖️

I had Ed’s from the age of 13-40+ -went to treatment centers, saw over 20 nutritionists/counselors/therapists/hypnotherapists/intuitive eating coaching I mean really, you name it-probably close to $30,000 out of pocket for it all. I was really determined to figure this out. I went from binge/purging 10-20x/day To a few years with an episode every other month to today: I’ve been completely bulimia free for over a year-meaning zero relapses-no Ed urges either. I am looking FORWARD to wearing a swimming suit this season-first time ever. And the life I now have is full of freedom/joy and possibilities. Perfect? Heck no, but it is nothing short of a miracle I am where I am.

I have to add-the first step to the freedom I now have was getting honest about how I really felt in each and every moment. And to accept it. And not push that down. To listen to it. THAT was step one-and it all had nothing to do with food and my body.

Thank you for bringing up the family aspect because that’s often overlooked. Very similar patterns emerge in families that set the stage for eating disordered children. Control is a big part of this and often the daughters feel out of control in life so try to regain control through their food. They tend to have “harsh” or even controlling mothers with domineering personalities. The girls themselves are more sensitive and gentle, and it’s a bad fit. Plus these very sensitive girls pick up the things their parents say like a sponge. Dads needs to careful about their influence here, in my experience they’re a little less intrusive than the moms but still play a role. Of my three eating disordered friends growing up, all three had harsh, domineering mothers. My friends (their daughters) were so very different from their mothers, timid and gentle. Their mothers didn’t realize that their much harsher personalities took away the very sensitive daughters’ feelings of autonomy. I cringed when the mom said that she said to her daughter “you NEED to listen to me, you NEED to do xyz” because an approach like that is going to push an already sensitive person who feels out of control even deeper away. Also when the mom described her daughter as being so “little, tiny and innocent” I cringed and hoped very much her daughter never heard her or her father say that phrase. A common theme among eating disordered women is wanting to remain like an innocent little girl and not grow up physically. It’s also what one psychiatrist felt was a major contributor to one of my friends’ condition, that she wanted to remain like a little girl for her father. Really bad phrasing to use “tiny and innocent” to an anorexic. Very often the parents are doing their best but the entire family needs to go into counseling so the parents can learn how look at themselves too and their role. No one is born with an eating disorder. Such a tragedy for this young girl. If parents of eating disordered children are in here I really hope to point these factors out so they can examine their behaviors to best help their child. It’s not about food at all.

That's why we need GOD.❤❤❤😢😢😢 Right now my beautiful niece is going through it.😢 Only JESUS can help her. She has had all treatments.

Yes and it mainly affects women (same with the covid propaganda and masking and so on) Women are much more prone to "social contagion" or group think which is one of the reasons that anorexia cannot be treated in groups the way drug addicts are treated because anorexics actually become worse and start to compete with eachother to see who can be the "skinniest".

Sincerely appreciate your comment. Pit of Hell is absolutely right. No-one wants to struggle through the nastiness of an ED.

@@Shofargirl1 I am a Christian as well and an ED survivor. If you can show you niece this comment, please do! I was so stuck in believing I was right about that Eating Disorder voice in my head telling me not to eat or to only eat certain things. My family told me to eat, and showed me that my weight was severely low! I tried to eat again but everything I ate gave me bloating, terrible abdominal pain, and headaches. That's when they rushed me to the ER.... the rest is history but I just want you to know, you don't have to obey that voice or those thoughts. You are not harming anyone if you don't! It will harm you so just please know you dont have to do this and you are not less than a person or less perfect if you let this disorder go. I'll keep her in my prayers

Definitely a spiritual battle.

Wow. That's very real tho. Thank you for sharing. Is she ok now?

I do the same but with the fattest. If I'm the fattest, I feel like I don't belong here and everybody see me just as a fat girl. If there's someone who's more fat than me then I feel less anxious. (I'm not obese, my bmi is 27,3 and I have chronic depression and a history of ed)

yep, and on the other side of that they also think that others are doing the same, meaning if they are not the thinnest they think everyone likes or thinks better of the smallest person and kindness shown to themselves, especially compliments about their appearance, is seen as an act of pity. like a second place trophy if you will.

This is absolutely a true fact for anyone with an eating disorder

As someone with Anorexia, this is the truest thing I’ve read today.

I Hope you’re doing better now. Stay with us, Ellie.

😢😢😢😢😢😢

I am so so sorry. 🙏 God bless you and your family

Yet you have anorexic youtubers like Eugenia Cooney who no doubt indirectly influences this unhealthy disease and they are just free to have channels

That's what happens when you let hollywood and models éducate your kids...it's complete mental bullshit that's preventable with education

She may have got better because she CHOSE to

She's definitely lucky. She managed to treat the reasons behind her unhealthy eating without any help. I say that because eating disorders aren't a condition, or a disease, it's a symptom. It's people who think eating disorders can be treated is why people die from them. You don't "cure" eating disorders, you treat the reasons they aren't eating. Most of the time it's because they have no control in their lives, so they control what they can, which happens to be what they eat.

Well said! I was never noticed positively until anorexia took over. My dad would applaud my exercising and "healthy eating." I had a coworker tell me I looked like a movie star. I finally felt noticed and in control of something. But I also hated the way I looked. I was never "thin enough."

not sure the mom and dad were doing everything they could. the fact that she had to achieve highly is probably because she wasn’t valued just being herself. the way we are treated and brought up, CAUSES the illness, hence a mental illness.

Good for them whatever

Ppl around me my sisters, my best friend, my doctor never acknowledged me when I told them I list 40 lbs. After being obese for 13 years. The lack of recognition It made me worse this month losing 11 pounds. I felt they can't notice it.becsuse the way I view myself I will never ever be the right size.

@@shimmer8289 I'm sorry no one noticed your weight loss. That must have been heartbreaking for you. :( Please take care of yourself. There is no number on a scale that can lead to true contentment.

I Hope you find freedom and healing. Stay with us Laura❤️

I have just read this comment but I hope that you’re doing okay right now. May your health be kind to you.

My grandma is 84 and when she got her thyroid disease she had to eat more to keep weight on but she liked how it made her thin :/

It's true, I have a healthy BMI and haven't been actively anorexic since my early teens 15+ years ago but never stop thinking of myself as chubby and get mad at myself when I eat normal amounts. My grandma is 87 in poor health and underweight but won't quit dieting after a lifetime of weight obsession. You don't ever kick the mindset even if habits change.

You as parents tried your best, don’t beat yourself over it Maddie tried but it just wanted enough

I've always loved food more than I wanted to be thin, but I'm chronically anemic and there is this little lizard brain that keeps telling me, if I stay anemic I'll get skinny. It happened last time and now that I know it, it keeps popping into my head. Even though I hated it, I was weak, I always felt awful and I didn't even look good.

True. I am nearly 60 and check my weight every day. I have an healthy BMI in the lower range, but I am always pleased if I lose a few grams. It is stupid and doesn´t matter, no one even notices it, but I can´t get over it.

keep fighting, you still have so much to live for ill bevpraying for you ❤️❤️

Wow! Hope you’re in a better place

@@brooke2873_ thanks

@@Mini-rt8bm, yes. I was in the dark.

I have an eating disorder because I want to die, won’t take me 35 years that’s for sure

All she had to do was not starve herself how simple is that

Sadly there has been much awareness of anorexia since Stephen Levenkron wrote the book on it many years ago it is one of the most studied diseases with a very high profile. Unfortunately this disease affects young women who are high achievers, perfectionists and seek control over their bodies and also seek subconsciously to remain young and with their parents. Nothing can get inside that mind. The greatest brains have tried. The only solution is specialized inpatient treatment centers not regular hospitals where this traditionally goes. This is a very specific illness and it takes a very very long and arduous process of multi stays in specialized treatment facilities and there just aren’t enough. But as far as awareness? The whole world knows about this disease and would need to be living under a rock & brain dead to not be aware of it; it’s been around since the 70s. When the Women’s Lib movement started. Coincidentally (NOT) when women started achieving and aspiring to the same goals as men. And yes studies have linked it to this. In the early 70s when this started creeping into American society suddenly women and young girls were pushing themselves to be the best academically at sports etc. You seem young so you can’t imagine a world where these weren’t natural achievements for young women. They are now. But for many perfectionists it’s an endless struggle to be the best (in the class within the family at sports, it all comes from the same place) and part of that struggle to be the best is seeking control of your own body; to master your own body and be better than nature. It’s very hard to fight that because it’s a very deep mindset within the subset of dysmorphic diseases.

Hello beautiful how are you doing today 💕❤

Can I ask, respectfully, what “price” did your body pay that you’re facing now after years of starving?

i honestly hope you feel better. im so glad that youve healed at all, even just a little bit. i know im much younger than you, but im proud youve made it this far

@@whoknows7577 its probably got something to do with muscle loss, kidney failure, or hair loss

That tiny little voice is trying to protect but it goes about it in a way that is not very helpful. We have to learn to welcome that voice, find out about it and accept it. Then, things can change. I have D.I.D with many alters, some wanted to kill our body, some absolutely hated me and were very abusive. I had to learn to meet them and find out about them. We had to learn to work together, to get along, to know we share the same body and life. We had to find a way other than inner chaos and warfare. It required learning how to love each other, tons of love, compassion, acceptance and a willingness to meet each other. Only then did the voices change to kind and all wanting to work together for the well being of the whole person. If we hate these parts of ourselves, things can only get worse. It's love that is needed.

How are you doing today ❤😂

I'm six months older than her, and struggled with an eating disorder when I was 13. I've been starting to feel terrible about my body again but after seeing this...reminds me how serious those thoughts are. She was an amazing person, I won't let her story be lost on me...

Kkkkll​@@genpaullacamera2233

I'm recovering too, at the momenti. I wish you all the best! 🎗️💜

I have a drug addiction I am fighting but it’s one in the same. Stay strong girls we don’t want this to be our family 😢❤

Stay strong sweet angel. I really need to watch my beautiful granddaughter. She is 11 and 1/2 but has many traits of this precious young lady. She is a soccer champion, a straight A student and has the most compassionate and empathetic heart. I am already seeing so much anxiety in her. I talk to her so much about her own expectations being so high. That no one is perfect, we learn by failing and trying again, to put her hand on her heart and one on her belly to breathe when she feels overwhelmed …I am glad I watched this tonight. Stay in your recovery. Sending you so much love and light. Aloha, love and peace from Hawaii. 🌈♥️☮️

Hope you’re doing well

Hello beautiful how are you doing today ❤️

Bless you, I wish you the best

I was thinking the same thing. Eugenia got covid and it hardly made her sick, so crazy!

I truly don’t understand how she’s alive

@@stuff1784 me either! But she won’t be for long because people like eugenia do not live to grow old. She is so emaciated. But i agree its a mystery to me how she has survived this long.

Probably because Eugenia’s ED started in her early childhood years and her growing body got used to food and nutrition deprivation. Her life style will still reduce her life expectancy, but her body is a lot more resilient than someone who starts an ED in late teens or early adulthood.

@@miscellaneouscell yes I’ve thought the same. If you look at kids in very poor countries with no food it’s similar. I guess that is all their body knows. But like i said someone like that will never grow old. Which i also believe that has alot to do with eugenia. I think she has a peter pan like syndrome where she is afraid of growing up- growing old. Hence why she behaved like a child in a room full of stuffed animals, the high pitched voice, dressing like a teenager. That makes the most sense to me. It will be a sad day when shes gone.

I’m almost 69yrs old and started mine at age 13. My husband has had me in all different hospitals. I live in Florida and he even found an eating disorder ranch in Arizona and flew me out there when I was in my 40’s. I got home after 7 weeks and was better but it creeps back in as soon as you lose control of your life. It’s the only thing you can control is putting food in your mouth. I just recently lost 70lbs in a few months. No one can make you eat and that’s the one thing you can control in life.

I am so sorry your daughter has stopped eating and I really hope she gets the treatment soon. I just wanted to tell you to never give up on her and let you know that there is hope and that it can get better. I suffered from anorexia through my teenage years but am now completely recovered. I can eat freely and am glad to be alive❤️ There is hope

Hand her over to God give it to God. And don't come at me and say oh another bible thumper. This has nothing to do with me it's about you your daughter and God. You don't have to trust me trust God

i hope she attains her desired skinny goals. skinny is fantastic and so much more attractive.

​@@paulwoodford1984 Paul, you're too old for this bait. Seek help freak

@paulwoodford1984 The audacity you have is disgusting. People die because they want to be skinny, but you already know that since you’re literally hearing the story of a girl who died from it on this very video. So what the fuck.

your story is terrifying, i am so sorry for you

There isn’t a reason behind who lives and dies, but that doesn’t mean you’re undeserving of the chance

My mother has anorexia and I am so worried about her. I dont know how to help and what to do. Her mood swings make things so difficult for me.

@meghnamehta7694 I'm not even religious, but pray. It produces positive neurotransmitters. Best wishes ❤️

It was essentially a suicide. She lost the will to live. Stopped taking her medicine, too. It will haunt me forever that I couldn't save her 💔 💯 🤧 😪 😔 😤 💔 💯 🤧 😪 😔 😤 💔 💯 🤧 😪 😔 😤

She had the disability Donald Trump made fun of, too. It ruined her self-esteem. I hate that bastard. 😒 🇹🇩 👌 🔥 💯 😍 ♥️ 🇹🇩 👌 🔥 💯

What are you talking about? She has a duping smile.

@@elenamichaels9658 you don’t know people, so don’t assume just because they have a smile that they’re not in pain. their daughter had a huge smile in all her photos and she still was in so much pain on the inside.

@@elenamichaels9658 Who had the duping smile the mom the or daughter?

She can smile and be upset, dude 😂

❤❤❤

I get a weird feeling from her parents, even after her passing they are talking about her performance

Obesity imo is about lack of control,denial. Like putting the gas on the peddle the whole way home. As a person who was recently obese I didn't consider myself obese. The brains protective way of shielding the psyche. I got diabetes. I lost alot of weight thru very low calories, now I can't stop. I understand ur imppression of her mom and dad perhaps at this point it is still difficult to deal with the ugliness of ED and they wanted their baby to look *perfect* God bless them all.

Perfection doesn't exist. Trying to control your life by obsessing about weight only gives you the illusion of control. Her parents should have given her permission to relax. & enjoy life. Competitiveness is a trap

I hope that you seek help as you deserve a happy life.

You deserve to be nourished. I’m struggling with anorexia too, it’s not easy to allow ourselves to feel like we deserve food. Sending you love ❤

same here for 17 days straight...until I had a fainting spell, rectal bleeding, heart palpitations.....don't let it get there! Research what fluids you can intake and then progress to solid foods,, save yourself from the false dream because you will run out if energy fumes

youre body is basically eating at itself...

I just commented that this will be her soon! You can tell Eugenia’s brain isn’t all there and I’m sure she doesn’t have much longer. Ugh

But that drive to be a high achiever is part of the pathology. The perfectionism. The “I have to do better, I’m never good enough.”

Yes! I suffered greatly after my grandfather passed away on my birthday and the ripple effect was strong. The effects of repressed CSA were haunting me and I didn't even know it at the time, only to discover it later in adulthood, over a decade after my recovery. The root cause is never what you see on the surface.

Glad for the “former.”

@@tubberstea9426 Former means that I’m done, and may work due to having actual knowledge!

I have a psychology degree too and I have struggled with an eating disorder my entire life. Unless you are a good eating disorder therapist (specializing in it and keeping up with continuing education on it), you don’t know what you are talking about. There are many variables that influence whether someone develops an eating disorder, or any other psychiatric illness. Being a graduate of psychology you should at least know there are biological, psychological, and social factors involved.

I ask myself the same thing. That's why I'm scared of having this disorder

Yes, it is an addiction. And it is awful. As an empath who is in recovery, there is hope on the other side. Stay strong

Well get over it you see what happened to her death all because she starved herself

@@MelB868 lol, "get over it." oooookay. you should go educate yourself on addiction so you don't sound so ignorant.

@@MelB868 It's a mental illness. You don't just "get over it", ignoramus.🙄

Empaths, perhaps, but also highly emotionally manipulative.

Let's switch minds for 3 months. I'm a 260 lb binge eater (used to be bulimic) and I desperately need my brain to switch to that of an anorexic's with that strong willpower.

You have to address whatever it is that makes you feel like you're not good enough.. suppressed trauma or feeling like you're not in control...you weren't born like this, your true self knows that food and a healthy body is good for you. Please don't loose hope and be gentle with yourself.

COMINg from a former anorexic who believes in God and how He would want me to eat., I leterally had to repeat this line everyday "God wants me to eat" and I am going to eat and literally something would go wrong when I do, and that would slump me, making me feel like I shouldn't eat. This went on for a about 1 1/2 months. Day in and day out. I listened to that slump feeling and the eating disorder voice grew. I needed to pray also. I needed to learn self-love and acceptance. I needed to change a lot of my ways of thinking and somehow with more vitamin B intake and eating, the voice disappeared. I say that to say, you can't give up, in the least cliche way possible. I don't know really about binging and purging and hope you find resources. But please, everything that you know is right for you to do for your health, do it! Even if that Ed voice makes you feel guilty. Also I 100% understand the isolation thing. You don't have to vocalize your disorder to those people but simply reaching out can change a lot. It did for me and it took memotnhs before I could reveal my eating disroder to them! Please continue to help yourself. You are doing a great job by being on here, acknowledging your disorder, and pleasseeee don't feel uncomfortable with your weight EVER!!!

I really encourage you to see a therapist but not with recovering from your ED being the only thing on your mind. If you go there looking for results quickly, you'll just feel worse, thinking "why haven't I recovered yet, is there any hope for me, why can't I do this". Instead really go with an open mind and dig deep into your childhood, things that have affected you, your mental health up to this point, any thoughts of not feeling good enough, and fears which are out of your control. There is likely something you haven't processed yet which is manifesting as self-harm and extreme control. If an ED is your coping mechanism for something, it'll be very hard to get rid of until you first uncover what you're coping with and then find more healthy strategies. Put in the work and you can recover and lead a healthy and happy life! I had an ED from age 15 to 22 and now I'm healthy, happy and recovered thanks to therapy :)

so rught!

as a recoverer, let this motivate you to start!

So sorry to hear what you and your daughter are going through.

I’m so sorry.. an eating disorder stays with you your entire life. So while you can find better health and wellness the actual food and weight voice stays on. I’m fifty and still struggle with dysmorphia and self shame of my body perceptions, but don’t starve myself anymore. There’s an obsession fixation and I turned mine toward an ashtanga yoga practice that started with a hot yoga practice when I was inpatient and 16 years old. It still took years and years to stop obsessing over how long I could go with out needing food even though I was doing better and better. But everyone is different and has to find what they really love to immerse their focus and training into. I had a patient for years in my clinics that was bulimic and all we could do was continue removing teeth until she ended up a 17 year old in full dentures. Which was what finally clicked for her to stop punishing herself. I wish you the best. Just keep loving her wherever she is with herself. Don’t ever give up on her.

@@kelleywyskiel8513 yoga also helped me as well. I wish the treatment was different and more effective but unfortunately recovery largely depends on the patient with the eating disorder themselves - nobody else can save them, just help and guide.

please just be aware that you won't gain anything. your body shut down most of those crucial extremes where you should've gained weight as a child. i'm so sorry to be reading this, i just hope that you will realise that your heart, health and peace are more important than your weight. just the fact that you had the courage to type this out shows how much of a strong and smart person you are. don't let it kill you. hugs

I recovered when I was 23 and I definitely went through a second puberty haha, I went from looking like a teenager to suddenly becoming a woman in the space of a couple of months. It's scary and uncomfortable, but growing up is supposed to be. Nobody can stay as a child forever, because then when you get old, you wouldn't have processed aging and it'll suddenly hit you. I really encourage you to get help from a counsellor or therapist so you can look into why you don't want to age - usually an ED is a symptom or manifestation of a deeper issue. It's not ridiculous or sad, everyone needs help with something at some point in their lives and we all have our own struggles to face :)

This may have been your own experience, but it incorrect to generalise. What you claim is what psychologists used to think years ago but it has been found to be erroneous. In some families it may be the case, but in the majority of ED cases there are a number of factors that come into play. Your words can cause much harm & suffering to mothers who love their children & have done all they can to help them. Parents usually already wrongly blame themselves. Please don't add to it. I'm not a parent myself & can only imagine the pain my parents went through when I was sick with an ED. It was not their fault.

@@lifesong8484 I agree that there are other factors, and sometimes mothers play little to no role. But mothers who are not insightful in their relationships with their anorexic daughters, although they love them very much and will sell their house to pay for care, they will never accept their role nor accept their daughter's experiences as valid. The majority of cases are due to family dynamics. Very few are due to wanting to look like a model.

THIS. experienced this with my "mother" my whole life. I've finally realized how toxic she truly has been. I am no longer speaking to her. Just went no contact. I'm 35

My mom had no influence on mine. She’s the best mom I could ever ask for. So please don’t think that every time.

There is no scientific evidence to this claim of yours that mothers are to blame for their daughters having an ED. That is an old and faulty belief - similar to the disproven beliefs that “refrigerator mothers” cause schizophrenia and autism. It’s harmful to spread misinformation. EDs happen to all genders, in all kinds of families, of all races and ethnicities. It’s a psycho-bio-metabolic disorder - look up the findings of the ANGI dna study.

Well all she had to do was not starve herself everyone knows that ends in death

Lol what??? You did not just compare an ED to a serial killer

@@MelB868 people with eating disorders have confused thinking due to imbalanced brain chemicals that are the result of stress from home

@@NZ28188 every person with an eating disorder admits it’s from an outward source. Did you watch the video?? Look at what the parents say.

Did you feel that if your weight was "under control" it relieved the anxiety you had about things you can't control?

congrats. awesome.

Seeing as you were in the depths of anorexia, I have some doubts about you being *actually* pleasantly plump.

DaRyna, that was beautifully said. Yes, she and her parents did everything right.
