EATING FOODS I HAVE NEVER TRIED FOR 24 HOURS - all-in anorexia recovery 

the fact that you had more of those snacks bc you listened to your body and your mom wasn't around to remind you that listening to mental hunger it's important. this shows t me that you're everyday stronger than your ed , i'm so proud of you💖

Here are some challenges for if you ever run out of ideas to further your recovery 1. Eating Out (You can’t portion size and you don’t know the macros) 2. Instant Meals (Most People who work or have school don’t have enough time to make a nice meal every day so they typically just eat whatever is quicker. Some examples are: Frozen Pizza, Ramen, and Frozen Meals.)

Hi, I’m Flavia and I’m Italian, I’m studying to become a psychiatry rehabilitation specialist and your videos are helping me understand how much anorexia can effect life and is much more than “Just eating”. I just want to tell you that I truly believe that you are so strong, beautiful and brave. Sending love and a big hug from Italy 🇮🇹💓

Seeing you pick up that bag of snacks and eating directly from the bag was literally so amazing and heart warming!! Keep going Ro you are getting there 💓💓💓💓💓

i can tell you are getting stronger by the week. you are so strong and powerful against this ed. i am so proud. keep going ro x

your videos are so comforting, every time i feel bad about myself relating to food and body image you’re the first place i come to❤️

“It’s not Gunna harm me it’s only gunna help me” the best quote you’ve helped me so much I’ve been falling into the jaws of Ed’s lately and you’re videos have pulled me out and you’re the best honestly you are so amazing and so brave and thank you so much just for making these videos and how many people u have helped and will help Xxxxxx

Thank you so much, you have truly inspired me and help me eat my meals even when it gets hard, it's easier eating together with you! You seem like such a lovely person and I'm so proud of you 💕

Really admire your bravery in sharing this- super proud of your progress. ❤️❤️❤️

you’re so inspiring! thank you for all these videos, they’ve seriously been helping me in my recovery! ❤️

Ro your upload game rn 😍🙌🏻 You are so hella inspiring watching this with afternoon snack as motivation

you look absolutely amazing! keep going because you are doing so great, we are all here to love and support you through this journey🤍

you’ve helped me so much you don’t even understand!!! ahhh i love you and ur channel

I personally don't struggle with an eating disorder, but I do have a complicated relationship with food. When you said "calories aren't meant to be spent" it really opened my eyes, because I'm always thinking, oh thats not worth the calories. You are very inspiring and have an impact on everyone who watches. You are doing amazing!

I am so proud of you woow! You are doing so great. I already recovered mostly some years ago, I was 13/14. And than a view months ago I started to slip back into my bad habits, butt your videos helped me to stop myself and work on me harder. Thank you. You can do it!❤️

new video yay!!.. i am so proud of you, ro.. seriously, you are so-so strong

I was really upset that I finished all of your videos ......but then this came in and I was like litterly jumping on my bed 😊😊😊

I am genuinely so impressed by you. You're doing a wonderful job. I'm so here for your journey and am so excited to watch and support you in your ROcovery

Eating big mouthfuls don't make you look greedy, it makes you look excited and happy! Full of gusto! It's so lovely to see!

Everytime I see your videos I see you come a long way, keep it up love ❤️

You make me want to call food “nice”, it’s an underused word in my food description vocabulary

I used to watch your vids a few months ago GIRL U RE GLOWIIINGG😍😍

I love your attitude! Also, totally agree on the chocolate hummus. 😐

I didn't know there were so many types of Weetabix, that's so cool.

I just love your videos, and it's such a joy to see the small yet mighty steps you take with each challenge! I also love your t-shirt in this video - spagetti is life!

Thank you for all your videos. Your doing an amazing job. Your parents are great, your mom is amazing and I really like all the things that your dad is saying to you 😊 they love you so much and you are strong as a family now, love to see that 😊

Always super uplifting your video's, eventhough I can imagine it is definitely not always as easy or uplifting for you!! I have 1 question or request though!! Are you planning on ever putting your basic make up routine online? Because I love the eyeshadows and how you pull off a natural look (even without make up :) )

I absolutely love your videos! You're so strong! Keep going, girl! 💕

As an arab I want to say chocolate hummus is blasphemous but it’s just food so I’ll try to not be upset about it 😂😂😂😂

I think the tofu would taste better if you drained it! all you have to do is press it between two heavy things and leave it there for 15-20 minutes. it makes it so much more crunchy! it’s so encouraging to see you making so much progress. i’m happy to see you have such a great family that supports you! keep pushing through, you got this.

video idea: one day just eating takeaway big challenge but you can do it!

I feel like I've really learnt a lot watching these videos, about determination, courage. Also you come across very sincere, once can't help but like you and cheer you on. Edit: removed a question which got answered later in the video. Next time I'll watch the whole thing before asking questions XD

l love our videos tgey helped me a lot with my recovery☺️ and i need the recipe of the noodIe soup!!!!! it Ioooks sooooo deIicious!❤️❤️❤️

Even though I have been recovered from anorexia/boulimia for 1,5 years now, watching your video's still challenge me to call myself out at some unhealthy behavior about food. Thank you Ro

Yeay!!! Loving this vid. I love love love when you freaking challenge your eating disorder because it's a bit** and you don't deserve it. I know you challenge it constantly but in the videos I'm saying. But yes, I'm sooo happy and proud of you Ro...dang that brekkie as booshi....great, fantastic, perfecto(if there is such a thing). I'm soo glad you did that. You even tried to freaking enjoy that...yeay!!! I thought that the fruity toast would taste like cinnamon raisin bagel🥯👏☕🥣🍫superb. Ooh snack...yeay!!! Chocolate tea cake with a creamy caramely pea(awesome challenge repeat) latte made by Mum aaawww that was sooo cool. Inspiring. It's cute how you say it's sooo lovely too. And that you enjoy the taste. Sooo freeing. No guilt okay!!! No regrets. It's amazing. People all around do have something like this. Yes your normal IS normal nobody is your normal.💞🥊🕊️☕ Omg!!! Kicking ass... chocolate theme soo far....proud proud proud...white chewy homemade bread hell yea.no waste no no no. Only trying you'll actually know. No need to actually complicate eating or food. Daily apple keeps the ED away...lol.🍎 Omg!!! I screamed in excitement when you pushed that thought away in that snack or the veg crispy thingies...aaww aaww lol awesome, soooo flipping inspiring. Loved that move. Reframing there. Lol sooo me...talking a while through...yaaas💞🥊🕊️💪 I just love how you keep refraining the thoughts your having during the meals. And that that that you DO like it that it DOES taste good. Yaaas, wagamama... Challenge repeat challenge repeat...you can do it, you can do anything. You are stronger than you think. Glad you did like those new foods and trying not to use behaviors too. What would be the point of using them?!?! I'm sry too that it cut off. Aaawww...that's okay. Lame though. You are strong still. I believe what you shared. Lovely pudding 🍮 yea I know it's hard. Proud you had it especially cause Mum made it yet again. Yeay!!! Oooh cool chocolate yay pretzels. Chocolate theme for sure I'm soo proud of you. Your soo like me. No worries. I panic loads of time. It was tough, I know it doesn't have to be but it was. Your valid. You deserve life food and the love. Big hugs for you Ro. You are going to get better like you said.🍫🖤🥊🕊️💖🌄👏

You should sell merch that says "that's so nice." Seriously, I'd buy it.

I found you today and I binged watched all your vids and then this one came out 🥰🤩

I feel like your personality has really started to show more and more in your recent videos, and it’s just so nice to see xx

What you are doing here Ro is REVOLUTION, a new face and perspective for us to understand how anorexia works. PROPS TO YOU GIRL, GOOD WORK :) XOXOX from Spain

I don’t have an ED, but do really struggle with mental health, and there is something so incredibly inspiring about watching someone tackle fear after fear and challenge after challenge every day, to “be afraid and do it anyway”. Thank you for giving me inspiration and strength to tackle my own hurdles, big and small! So incredibly proud of you!

I was just debating on wether i should, or should not eat dinner, but your videos always help me. They make me feel like i’m not alone. I’m gonna go eat dinner now, and i’m gonna watch your video at the same time :) Thank you for being here

Hi Ro! I'm a counselor in the states, and people with EDs are my preferred population. When I started, it was in an ED program. I felt like I understood my people really well at the end of it, and, your videos have been helping give me more insight to what my patients struggle with. Thank you so much for putting your story out there, it is definitely a difficult thing that is so appreciated. You deserve your recovery

A great name for calories is ENERGY POINTS! Elzani (another amazing ED recovery youtuber) calls them this and I love it- it changes the mindset from "budgeting" how many calories you "spend" to making the aim about "scoring" as many energy points as you can! That's the objective, like Mario collecting his coins- the more points, the closer you are to levelling up in the game.

You’re looking healthier every video! Just imagine at the end of this you’re running into a friend at campus and you decide to get a coffee together. Her saying “that carrotcake looks really nice, but that muffin also I cant choose” and you saying, without thinking about it: “lets get them both and split them” and you both enjoy it and the conversation without ever having a second thought about it

“Even though the tofu’s weird, I kinda like it?” That was a great summary of the tofu experience.

I LOVE the way she spoke about calories not being a currency and you can't 'waste' them!! if anyone makes digital art make that a quote please x

i literally just started to take my first spoon of food and then BOOM ro is doing this with me~~ ly, ur amazing

I’ve noticed throughout your videos that you’re spending less time convincing yourself you can eat the food and challenging the anorexia thoughts. You’re quicker to just eat when you’re sitting at the table. You’ve made such amazing progress!

I deal with feeling guilt about "wasting calories" and I love what you said about it not being wasteful and we have the next day to try hundreds of different foods. That really resonated with me and will remind myself of that the next time I feel guilty.

End piece bread loaf gang for the win! Thank you for being so open about such difficult things with all of us - you’re doing brilliantly and I’m cheering you on from afar for more recovery successes 💖💖

I like watching you even i don't suffer an eating disorder. i like your thoughts every step you take in your recovery, it is very useful for people in general. you're such an extraordinary girl and i admire your strength and determination. love from Chile.

i love to see how much stronger she's getting mentally its amazing

You and Mum need a cooking channel!!! Her food always looks amazing!

I feel like we need a day where Ro eats whatever little Ro would have liked. Like if little Ro was in charge of what she ate.

You look 100times more lively compare to the first video. It's so inspiring seeing your life gets more colorful and fun😭💗💗💗

Just had a doctors appt and am now starting my journey for recovery... I’m on my second meal of the day and was very hesitant and right as I start I see the notification for this video. It’s really comforting watching your videos thank you❤️❤️

RU-vid, sort out the algorithm here - a diet ad on this incredible video?! No. Thank. You. On an entirely different note, your skin is absolutely GLOWING in this video. Drop the skincare routine gal 😂

THE CONFIDENCE YOU GAINED ON CAMERA I feel like you have an amazing vibe and aura and that improves in every video yasss recovery. I'm so happy for you

girllll i can literally tell you’re truly recovering bc you just have so much more energy and positivity so heckin kudos to you hun

There’s this girl called Elzani, she documented her anorexia journey on RU-vid just as you and it’s amazing to see how her relationship with food has changed. Hope her videos can help you and anyone who’s dealing with an eating disorder. Lots of love from Mexico 💕

Hi Ro I just want to say thank you because I've been struggling with anorexia for a few years and I just started my all in recovery journey. Watching your videos has helped and inspired me so much and you give me strength and encouragement to eat and keep going when no one else can. Ilysm and thank you ❤️

I swear tofu is the most satisfying thing to cut😂

You should challenge all your favorite childhood foods in a day 😊

oh my god!! I'm Portuguese and that dessert is called "pastel de nata", really hope you loved it :)

Hey, I'm thirteen and I'm really going through a rough patch in my life right now. Lots of anxiety and constantly restricting and binging on food. Your videos help me believe in the light at the end of the tunnel. You are a motivator for me and I just want to thank you for taking my mind off of food. Sometimes I eat while watching your videos and it really helps me.

After seeing Eugenia Cooney's video I am so proud of this girl for her awareness and inspiring other girls suffering with any eating disorders to love their body in a positive way. So nice!!! 🥰🌻

I love you so much, Ro. I have a video idea I’d love to see if your parents would be willing. Maybe a discussion on their experience with raising and helping a child with anorexia? Maybe talk about some red flags they saw at the beginning of it, how they cope, and how they’ve learned to support you. I always think it’s helpful to hear about the family’s perspective. You’re amazing and helping me more than you know

I’m curious how other people’s relationship with food affects yours. Like for example, when you asked your mom to try something she did without even thinking, this is something I noticed with people who don’t have any kind of disordered eating. When I was fighting to heal my relationship with food, I had to break my fear of just tasting other food without hanging a meal.

😨 So sorry about your camera but well done for still eating your breakfast afterwards when the instinct was to restrict x Glad you got it fixed ❤️

I sooo love that you’re family is so supportive and brilliant and eat with you ♥️ I live alone and not having a pity party here at all, just fact but when I start recovery I’m going to make sure I can eat with friends and family as much as possible (especially the ones I know will support me 😅) Good going Ro! Love seeing your bubbly personality just getting more and more fizzy 🍾 🤗

A tofu tip: your silken tofu was kinda falling apart when you fried it, silken tofu is better for when you are putting it straight into soup without frying first, hard tofu is the best choice for whenever you want to fry it. On the whole though well done on trying new foods, especially tofu which lots of people won't eat anyway

It's really nice to see how far you've come since your first video it makes me so happy and i hope your recovery goes very smoothly

Girl! Your face is glowing!! And it is not your highlighter although it is also on point. Love to watch you getting stronger and stronger with every video, keep it going!

I know that this is super hard to talk about for some people but I was wondering if you could make a video about your parents thoughts, moods and reactions when they found out about everything?

I LOVE THAT HER PARENTS ARE ALWAYS WITH HER

Love that you allowed yourself more pea and bean sticks 🙌🙌🙌 honouring your hunger is such an important part of recovery 🙌❤️❤️

'calories aren't meant to be spent, they're not a currency' - that made my day]

I absolutely love your channel! I don't have a diagnosed ed but a personality disorder and your videos taught me that 1. I do have an abnormal relationship with food but I started working with it and 2. The flipping birds towards your anorexia are SO EMPOWERING! It made me understood that I'm NOT my personality disorder, so I became much more aware of my thoughts, started realizing when the thoughts are not mine but my pd's and now I'm able to heal myself better. THANK YOU RO! 🌺✨

I'm honestly so in awe of how you (the anorexic part of you) says something and you (the real you) picks up on it and corrects it and goes against what anorexia wants. You are so so inspiring

I've realised that u seem so much more energetic and happier throughout ur videos and I'm so proud of u

RO!!!!! your eyes are soooo pretty I seriously hate having brown eyes .

Calories aren't a currency 👏👏👏

At the end with the edited video you say “I was so strong”, RO?!?!?!?! You ARE so strong! Go girl! 🥳

Next time you try tofu, press all of the water out of it as much as possible. When frying it, it crisps up and ends up having more flavour and is amazing! 🙂

Due to my cPTSD symptoms, I oftentimes do not eat when I'm hungry - because I think that I don't deserve food, because my obsessive thoughts tell me to restrict in order to feel in control, or as a form of self harm. Watching your videos makes it easier for me to eat. Thank you so much. Also I love your humor

a minute in and your energy is captivating! after sitting through a dinner that felt more like hell, you honestly just made my day so much better

“I wanna cry but I’m gonna eat” that sums it up pretty well. You are amazing Ro, thank you for another wonderful video. Each day you get a bit stronger. I hope you’re proud of you 💙

i feel like im watching her beat the monster inside her and i am absolutely amazed at her progress, love u ro❤️

I don't know how I missed this video 10 months ago...but I'm glad I caught it, it was an important one. 1. I love eating cereal with you as I watch 2. When you were eating your candy bar, I thought to myself, I wish I could eat all these yummy things she gets to eat....and then I paused on your caption :) Thank you.

Just wanted to remind anyone who might be experiencing 'extreme hunger': it's normal if your body isn't happy with the amount you used to eat, and wants a bit more until it's satisfied. That sensation is valid, so just listen to it and please don't get angry with yourself 😌

I love your Videos💕💕 I‘m asking myself how many are germans here, cause I am xD

Love you so much Ro, you're so so brave, and the way that you push yourself is such an inspiration. I literally just recovered from anorexia and obviously it was such a rollercoaster, and the breakdowns are honestly the WORST! But you are honestly such an inspiration as you just take every day as it comes and i think you are doing so so well. You have something that i never had at the beginning of recovery which is to continue to push even though you are terrified. I'm sixteen and know that even though you are a tiny bit older it's still just as hard for you as it was for me, but keep going and oh my goodness i would love if you could respond to this, it would make my day. Love you so much and we can push through this. Keep being strong and brave and you WILL beat it! xxxxx

i couldn't help but laugh when you said pea milk, because i was listening to this as i cooked my dinner and i thought you said "pee milk"

you’re definitely my comfort youtuber ro!!🤲🏼✨

You should make merch that says " realllyy nice" 💞

You're killing it, I'm very proud of you!❤ I enjoy watching your videos🥰

your recovery videos always seem to come out when I’m having a terrible relationship with food and my body and remind me to take positive steps that day

So excited to watch!! Also, your eyes are so so beautiful!! They mirror your soul I’m 100% certain 🤍

You are inspiring my recovery journey. I am finally seeing why I have been battling it for almost 40 years. It’s been a rollercoaster with my weight going up and down like a damned yo-yo. I have tried to get anorexia completely out of my life for so long. I have come a long way, but it sneaks back in when I am feeling vulnerable or something bad would happen. You are helping me to see why it happens and how to face it. Thank you for your courage to share your journey with us.

sorry but the absolute gall of youtube to put an ad for “skinny bars” with “minimum guilt” where their slogan is “nothing tastes as good as skinny bars” on THIS VIDEO is appaling
