I ate lots of your fear foods! Thank you to everyone who replied with their fear foods! Make sure you follow me on instagram if you would like to be involved next time, yaaay! FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM: / elzani__
It's so f*cking awesome to see you just pick up food and eat it. No hesitating, no sniffing it, no showing it to the camera 20 times, no asking your mom if you should eat it... It's just beyond belief how far you've come. I mean as far as I can tell you've arrived, you're recovered. So happy for you Elzani
It is amazing to see how your thinking has changed. Malnourishment affects the brain’s abilit0y to develop and learn and I was so worried. Thank you for sharing. I do so enjoy your commentary and reflections on your past relationship with food. Congratulations are not enough to offer you after such a brave and impressive defeat of the toughest monster alive!!!!💕💕💕💕
i ate seven chocolate biscuits today, and i was feeling kinda bad about it. this video cheered me up so much! i shouldn’t feel guilty for eating it’s normal and i need to eat :) thank you, elzani!
Never feel bad about eating!!! I am so proud of you for eating what you want and however much you want! It’s normal to eat, you’re so right!! Keep going and remember you have to eat the snacks to look like a snacccc 😉❤️
You would be such a fantastic motivational speaker or counselor! You are so good at expressing yourself and you know exactly what to say and how to say it. I could listen to you for hours 🙌🙌
@@elzanisingleton omg it’s so true. The more happy you become, the brighter your eyes look. I think you were put on this earth to show people your love and kindness. I am very happy you are on this earth 💕🙏
This video hit me today. I dont have a diagnosed eating disorder but i have disorted eating. And seing you just eat whatever without fear inspire me to not restrict my foods and just eat whatever my heart desire. Thank you 🙏❤️
I love your talking to us videos. Bloody proud of you. Would love a video on how you have dealt with the anxiety of doing the opposite and how you have coped with the head mess of a changing body etc. Watched you since day dot and I feel like a proud older sister
@@elzanisingleton It is so true...I was just saying that myself...you are such a blessing, shining your light upon this world.. Even just seeing your family together brings such a sense of peace, and comfort. I am rather older than you, perhaps close to your Mum's age...or more.....but you..you and your videos are such a comfort , more than you know, and for so many variety of reasons. I appreciate you and all you do. I only have you tube..i don't have Insta .... you are a natural lovely soul. much peace and love to you and your family ♥️🙏🏻✨💕
Longer videos definitely! I love ecspecially when you talk in present time to the video, its like having a sit down spending time talking to an older sister and friend :) love you so much xx
i’m so proud watching all your videos and seeing how far you’ve come, you’re an inspiration to so many people, especially me, and you are so so beautiful and just AMAZING!! ❤️🎄
🥺🥰 thank you so much, you’re so lovely!!! You have no idea how much that means to me and how grateful I am for you ❤️ I hope you’re having a great day / evening / week ❤️❤️
I had no idea you had a different channel, I'm so glad to have found out! Elzani you look amazing, you're doing so well and even though I am a stranger on the internet I am so very proud of you. You are proof that people can start to get better and are really inspiring. Your cheerful disposition, perseverance, strength and determination are truly incredible and it is a joy to see you enjoying food and looking so well. I wish you all the best and hope things carrying on improving for you. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
I haven't watched you in ages, but just want to say you look so much more beautiful now and seem more intelligent, funny and less anxious because of the energy you are receiving from the foods not making you deficient and slower so well done, proud of you!
I LOVE long videos with nothing special in them! Just like making food, food shopping, cleaning etc. everyday stuff♥️ Just love to hear and see you being happy.
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas Elzani. I don’t have an eating disorder but you helped me to realise I was going down a slippery path by not eating certain things and telling my self I can’t. You are reaching so many people and helping them. I Love your videos! X
Wow gal look at you, you are GOALS you and your body is absolute GOAL!!! You have helped my recovery more than anything else, especially because you’re my age and usually it’s people who are a lot younger who are recovering. Honestly, sounds cringey but you saved my life and I’m so happy that we have recovered together!
you are so beautiful inside and out! beyond proud of how far you've come as I've been following your journey since day one! you have no idea how many people you have helped along the way including me, so much love
Mi inglés es muy pésimo igual miro sus videos...pero lo poco q entiendo debe ser por la empatía de sufrir este trastorno...lo q no pude entender nada es lo q ella explica al inicio de este video..exactamente que cuenta? Disculpa q te moleste por eso...eso me pasa por no ir a inglés ..jajaja abrazo
Elzani, how do you inspire me in each of your videos, in my recovery, I am barely 14 years old and I have fallen into a hole of bad thoughts about food when I was very young, but seeing your recovery and your great positive energy in your videos has helped me to transform my bad thoughts into good thoughts, thanks to you I am recovering and enjoying this beautiful life.
im genuinely so proud of you!! ive been watching since the first video you ever posted and it brings me so much happiness to see and hear where you are now and I aspire to be like you !! 💕💕💕
I remember when you posted videos last year during this time I was really struggling and I would watch your videos for support & now I’m doing amazing with eating whatever I want! And i‘m so glad you’re doing well, too. It almost feels like we‘ve been through this whole journey together. Thank you so much❤️
ahh this makes me so proud to see!! couldn't have come at a better time either ( I really need it atm). I don't normally comment but just want to say a MASSIVE thank you Elzani xxx
this is definitely one of my favourites vids from your channel, elzani 🥺❤️ (and that's saying a lot cause literally all of your videos are amazing. OK, you're amazing) I just loved hearing everything you said, the sincerity, watching the beautiful person you are, all the things you've learned, even your eyes reflect wisdom and happiness. You inspire me a freaking lot and I can't thank you enough for everything. You really showed me that recovery starts from you, from your true self, not from fears, anxieties or the things related to a ED. That's never your true self. And I can confidently say that your true self is just wonderful ❤️ Sorry if something isn't correctly written, sometimes my english is not the best haha🤧❤️
Elzani you are such an inspiration to so many people! I am SO SO proud of you and how far you have come you are truly thriving and cannot wait to see what the future holds for you!
I prefer these videos I love it when you just sit down with food and talk I feel like it helps me with eating I also love to see your sisters you have such a beautiful family, btw u look absolutely beautiful I with I could fix my relation ship with food just like u have ILY. 😚😚
I love your long videos, and I like when you talk directly to the camera as opposed to a voice over. I also love when you show quality time with your family and goofing off with your sisters😊 Thanks for the video!
It's wonderful getting to see how you've triumphed over the fear and can now truly enjoy eating all these amazing foods. I'm sure there's still some difficult times, but watching your perseverance is watching a champion in action!
Elzani! Wow! I've been gone for a few months, & oh my goodness! How vibrant you've become! So lively & sparkly-eyed! I couldn't be happier for you & your family! *Very well done!*
Omg your sunshine on my mind t shirt is so cute! I'm so proud of how far you've come Elzani, ROLE MODEL! It makes me so happy to see you taking care of yourself 🥰
I started proper recovery around the same time as you and watching you over come fears etc helped me so much! A year later I’m 100% recovered and pregnant!🥰🥰🥰
You're such a beautiful person.... God must protect you and your family.... My lovely elzani I'm so proud of you... I think you make we feel so much better with our self confidence our body our diet or something like that... Thank you so much!!!
Literally cried so many times in this vid bc it’s so frustrating constantly holding yourself to stupid standards - off to have a late night cereal bowl your vids help sm
Such a sweet person you are. Very genuine. Your family is also awesome. Your mom and dad loves you all, you and your sisters are so tight. Your granny always smiles and Blaze is just beautiful... May God protect all of you. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos and touching so many lives. You are such an inspiration.
Made me smile as soon as I saw the upload! Love you so much Elzani! I am am close to being in hospital but you encourage me so much to persist in life and to fuel myself! Thank you for being you, for inspiring, for being like a sister I never had, and thank you for challenging me to be my best self! I aspire to be like you and conquer my fears! Thank you Elzani! 🥰🤍🌻
Who thought your would do a video like this 4 years ago??? AMAZING ELZANI! I am so so proud of you! You’re one strong and inspirational human being 🥰🥰🥰 keep going! Ily!
I love seeing that lightning in your eyes. I send you lots of love and healing in this process🖤 I'm in recovery from Anorexia Nervosa and you've been a lighthouse in an ocean of despair. Thank you.
I LOVE your videos girl...i've had a slight (or not slight) eating disorder for long months, but having watched many of your videos i somehow managed to change, i still have my boundaries and macros but i can enjoy food way more than i used to (just as you mentioned in your own experiences, i also hated most of all the yummy food and felt guilty for even looking at them), and i allow myself to eat what i want and have fun on cheat days without exercising for hours afterwards. Thank you so so much for helping me, your encouraging words, your positivity, your huge smile always cheer me up and shine my day. Whatever video you make, i constantly feel blessed and delighted to have people like you in this world... XOXO and love from Hungary:)
That moment when you're watching Elzani and she's telling you 'you deserve to eat' etc and you realise she's recovered more in the last year than you have in 15. I remember the vlog where she cried after she ate pizza with the family because she was panicked she ate more than everyone else and that's the mood I still relate to the most
Hey Elzani! I am overweight! And my problems are completely opposite from yours! I am on a weight loss journey, and it's really not easy. But even though your videos is about gaining weight and allowing yourself to eat food, I am unbelievably inspired by your videos! Thanks for your amazing mood and smile and joy. It's amazing to watch, even though I really cannot relate! I enjoy your videos!
This video is life. I have been following you since the very beginning, and I am so darn impressed. You are truly inspiring. I've had anorexia for ages, and you talking through your mindset changes in these videos and the evolution of how much your personality has really come out over time is soooo awesome. Would you be able to talk about your hormones and if you still have to fight your thoughts?
I started recovery a few months ago and your videos really really helped meeeee!! (Mainly because your foods all look soooooo nice) but also as I'd seen what you'd been through and how happy you'd been in recovery so thank you so so much 🤗🤗 also you're looking so pretty!! 💕🦋
Thank you so much for this Elzani, seeing you flourish is so wonderful and shows that life really does brighten up in the process of recovery, as difficult and as shit as it can feel at times. all the love
Honestly Elzani...just wow! I am SO PROUD of how far you've come! Thanks to you, my old fear food, bread/carbs is now a NECESSITY in my everyday life ❤️️ Lots of Love! (ps I think another fun vid could be trying subscriber's recipes for a day?) xxx
I struggle with binge eating, yet somehow seeing you eat your fear foods and larger portions has somehow really helped me. I don't know how to explain what I get from it - I think your lack of guilt and shame surrounding food helps my mind find peace, and view food more normally. Thanks for sharing so openly! I loved this style of video where you talk to us and encourage us. ☺️
You seem sooo much happier then when i first started watching your vids, well done gal! You've done sooo well, recovery is one of the hardest things anyone has to go through. Amazing :) and you look great!!
I watched your 3 month documentary in hospital because it came up on my recommended videos and now I just thought to check how you were doing and wow! You’re glowing. You look so happy and healthy and I’m so proud of you. See, you’re so strong and you just couldn’t see it. I’m so happy that you got the help you deserved but most of all, well done for being so strong xxx
The biggest thing I see which is so positive, is now you just eat on your own. Early on it was you and your mum and it was like you were looking to your mum for permission almost, or for validation that it was ok to be eating. You are doing so amazing and such an inspiration. ❤️
I'd forgotten I subscribed to this channel tbh. Seeing this title was a big ol punch in the gut. The struggle with food was so tough for so long. I didn't realize how sick I was until just recently. It was so... jarring.
I wished I could enjoy recovery as much as you do. I don’t find joy in it whatsoever. I pretend everything is ok when I’m eating. Sometimes it’s ok and sometimes it’s not. I hate that I’ve had to give my clothes to my cousins who are 9-11 years old. It’s been devastating mentally having to get rid of my small clothes as it’s a reminder I’m not thin anymore. I really wished I could be where you are in your journey.
I haven't seen your videos since your Satara's birthday vlog and I'm so glad you came back into my recommended! I've missed seeing your pretty, glowing happy face :)
I used to watch your videos at the beginning of your recovery and looking at you now, I can see the happiness radiating throughout you! you used to be able to see the fear and struggle ik your eyes but now I can see how much happier you are :) good job!!
Omg Elzani you look so beautiful in this video wow 🥺😍 I love all your video styles equally tbh the voiceover ones are like art and these are so helpful for those who are struggling. You're so inspirational 💕 Also HOW MUCH DO YOU LOVE EVERMORE it's so beautiful 😭😭
I'm so happy for you. It's nice to see you relaxed around food and gives me hope that I can get there too. I've worked through a lof of my fear foods but still have some to go that I didn't even realize until I watched this lol. I like all of your videos but this kind where you chill and talk to us makes me feel like we're friends just hanging out 😅
I love how encouraging and honest you are. I suffer from a different mental illness major depression and even tho it’s different your encouragement is still the same. Continuing to move forward is hard but worth it!!
Elzani this video brought me to tears of such happiness 🥺 seeing how far you’ve come in your recovery and just in life in general makes me so so freakin proud! You’re absolutely glowing girlfriend !!! 💓💗💘💕
Thank you so much for this video❤ I'm currently at a clinic in Germany recovering from bulimia and it has been really hard to eat bread, nutella, butter and honey. It sounds stupid because I love to eat, but I am afraid of them and I've been struggling. I've not purged in a while and I'm proud of it, but a part of me is ashamed to be proud of it smh. To hear about your recovery path and to hear you explaining that it isn't going to kill anyone to eat fear foods really comforted me :')❤
Your thriving. The confidence shows through. . Brain power 😎💯💯💯 I absolutely prefer real talking. Your amazing. I have a phobia on having to use the same plate, bowl and cutlery. I can only eat at the certain time of the day. I don't know if you had rules like this?
Love this, I used to restrict my food intake (related to IBS and chronic indigestion). Example for; bread was a HUGE fear food for me because it fills me up a lot, now I eat it everyday again. It’s a different kind of situation but still I used to restrict an unhealthy amount and lost so much weight. Elzani your videos make me so happy, you’re an amazing, beautiful person. X Jade
I've been having lots of fear foods lately. This video has helped me realise that we shouldn't be scared of the food we love... its here for a reason for us to enjoy whenever and to keep us enjoying life and staying alive!!! :)
@Clarissa Hi Clarissa, Thank you so much! :) I'd say try not to body check. Body checking dosn't help when you're trying to eat more its just another step back.If you body check that is. Eat what makes you happy. I know its hard. I'm going in a restrictive cycle with food but i'm trying to eat normally. Also if you restrict the foods you love then it makes you binge. I'm not saying eat loads but eat food little by little. Slowly but surely it will be worth it. Hope you can get through this! x
@ClarissaAw poor thing. Really wish you the best and you can beat this! I've had a mental breakdown all week because my weight has been fluctuating and its hard seeing the number on the scale change. But we are in this together! All the best for you my dear! ~Stay strong ❤️
your energy is amazing, watching you makes me feel valid and proud of your journey and, after watching you grow, i feel really better about recovering!
I love you elzani. While Im not underweight anymore, my ED still makes me believe I don’t deserve full recovery and wants me to stay in quasi or even go back. You give me hope during these dark times. Have a lovely Christmas and an amazing end of the year!
Wow you look so different now you're healthy, you are so beautiful! I'm so happy for you and you are such an adorable person. You are really worth it. Keep going even though you fall back into old habits. I've recovered 5 years ago and I will always struggle I guess. Never give up, you are soooo amazing honestly!
Now, when I'm recovered from anorexia the only fear for me is to eat bread more than one time in the day. Love you Elzani, keep going girl, you are amazing! 🤩🤗🌸
