For anyone out there struggling, getting your period back (especially naturally ie not on the pill) is one of the most rewarding things about recovery! It has since been one of the things I am most proud of myself for in my own recovery and it is never too late to start to work to get it back. Eating whatever dang food you want is the most helpful💜
@@arianelegros1774 I’m so sorry to hear that love :( Hang in there and keep challenging that eating disorder voice in your head. I promise you recovery is worth it even if it’s hard to feel that way right now🤍 You are beautiful the way you are regardless of whatever number the scale reads. Focus on things you love to do!! Maybe that’s watching movies, coloring, traveling, reading, etc. Focus on rediscovering WHO you are and what you love to do rather than being worried about food an exercise. You’ll get there🤍
@@arianelegros1774 Maybe that’s the case right now but you can gain it back naturally!!! Don’t give up on yourself and DONT discredit all the progress you’ve made on your own! 🤍
im watching this with no period.. i miss having it tbh 😪 my body feels broken without it. edit: my period was gone for 1026 days around that but now its fully on time. I had an extremely low bmi of 13 so thats prob the reason
I gained some weight back in November and got my period back after six months of not having it but lost it again after two months (//TW) when i went down to the path of restricting again due to work and missed meals. (TW ends) currently, i'm trying to recover again and this video is probably a sign from God that i should try because recovery is not impossible. thanks miranda
Thats what happened to me too! In the past getting my period back has been a sign that I am allowed again to go back into my ED. (which sounds super illogical but thats an ED brain for you lol) Now that I am much more mentally healthy in my recovery I've kept my period for 4 months which I haven't been able to do for 4 years 🥰
I just got my period back today after 6 months! I felt happy at first that my body trusted me but I’m stating to feel guilty like I’ve failed in some way which is stupid but I’m trying to accept it and that I’m healthy now
Very informative video! I just went to my doctor last week because I lost my period for a year now...and she told me the same things! Honestly the most scary part is to reduce exercise...I really really don’t wanna do it, exercise makes me so happy, It’s literally the highlight of my day...🥺
Hi Miranda! I know you did a video where you ate and trained like Whitney Simmons, but do you think you can do a video where you eat and train like Linda Sun? (Btw you are so freaking beautiful. Your boyfriend is SO lucky 🥰)
Period health is honestly sooo important and not spoken about nearly enough! I really hope schools start teaching it and educating both males and females and all of the genders. There shouldn’t be any shame around the subject. Thank you for this video. You are an angel. I love you. Keep being your amazing beautiful radiant self. I love you and hope you’re having a great day xo😘
You are such a powerful recovery warrior, we are not only gaining weight but we are gaining freedom, health and life! keep on pushing through this hard but so worth it journey ❤️
this was so informative!! thank you so much for spreading kindness and helping others. your energy is so contagious and i have so much love for you! ALSO your hair! i am still so obsessed with this length! ❤️❤️
I have never had my period before, but that summer i started to lose weight at the ED took over, was the time I think my body was planning to get my period. Its been almost 2 years and I have still not experienced a period, but I have lost weight due to a depression and I am trying to eat a lot to gain weight, fix my huuggee mental hunger and one day be lucky enough to experience a period :)
I had my period at a young age. Age 8 was when I began bleeding. But it stopped cause of a medicine I was taking. Which were antidepressants. My parents and I didn’t know it was those meds that cause it to stop. But I ended up meeting a lot of doctors who didn’t have any idea why it stopped. It wasn’t until I began taking birth control did I finally have a period. But I kept taking them until I was 24. I’m 25 now ( birthday was yesterday) and sadly around February 2024 before I turned 25. I ended up taking antidepressants again, which I regretted. Because I regained my old weight and my period had once again stopped completely. I don’t want to go back to taking the pills due to weight and pain. It appears my body is not healed it seems.
For the people that are wondering I did all these things and I got my period back and have it for 4 months regularly now! 1. Eating enough 2. Eating fats 3. Stop or exercise less and I tried to sleep enough en get rest
my perod has been gone for almost 2 years. I am really trying my best to get it back sooooooo bad, I know its normal for girls my age to be gaining weight but my biggest fear is it all just going directly to my face like it did when i was force feed for two weeks. I know it will be differnet just etaing normally this time but im still so scared of that......
Hi Miranda, thank you for the advice and tips! ❤️ I learned a lot from this video and didn't know til now that I needed to get more of omega-3 in. I've lost my period for 2 months now and am almost sure it is from over exercising and not listening to all of my hunger cues. I also need to learn how to not eat at strict times.
Ugh I have had HA (hypothalamic amenorrhea) for over a year and I’ve been in ED recovery for half a year and I still don’t have my period....I think it’s because I work 3 days a week and I’m on my feet for 6-7 hours each shift and always walking and my stress doesn’t help....it’s frustrating because I can’t just quit my job to get my period back
As a 14year old I did keto for a month and finish 18 Jan now I'm eating enough and not going to bed hungry and feeling satisfied but still no period through out my month of keto and still now so pls help me I'm petrified
Thank you sooooo much. What's so ironic is two days ago I went on an obsessive search trying to figure out WHEN I'll get my period back and HOW and all the logistics... and then you come out with this sweet, sweet video. HEARD. (:
Hey! Ik you were studying to be a nutritionist. I have no idea weather you graduated and became one yet but if not the title is a bit misleading. :( and although I’m sure you very well educated with certain topic you’ve been learning I don’t think it’s right to falsely claimed that you were a nutritionist when you’re still studying. Sorry if I’m wrong I just wanna make sure!!
I dont know what is happening😫 Today I got my period back after a year and i was soo happy...I mean I am in recovery but I am still extremely underweight and I dont know what does that mean am I healthy now when I got my period? because I dont feel like I am...
having your period doesn't mean your healthy, your just at the lowest weight your body can function on but it's probably not the weight your body feels very healthy
I have a Period but then I started purging and now it’s only 4 days of a period . When I got my period back I freaked out then started purging but still have it. So I guess I’m heathy? But purging make your chest hurt a lot. But I haven’t passed from purging yet so that is good. Idk understand when I do overexicse I still have a period
How long did it take you to get your period back after doing all these things? I had HA years ago and they put me on BC because of it, then ended up staying on due to convenience & using it for contraception. Recently came off and not sure if I'll get periods so want to do everything I can to get it back
Glad to know I’m not alone. I haven’t had a period in almost 3 years. No warning signs nothing! The symptoms keep getting worse. It’s so frustrating not feeling well. Thank you for this video. Can you still get pregnant after not having a period for so long? The roller coaster of emotions are not fun 😢. How do I get back to myself again?
I feel relieved since i lost it after january period and got it back in april! I took all the advierte i could, the problem i had was wrong alimentation and over exercising
Not at the point of amenorrhea yet but still have issues with irregularities. It's a struggle because a part of me doesn't want it. A part of me just sees it as an interruption to exercise. 🙄
Your haircut looks amazing lol and of corse this video explained a lot for me (I’ve been recovered from my amenorrhea since November but it’s cool to understand how it worked).
@@miranda_rox thank you for heing so inspiring and helping me through recovery. its not been easy but youve made it the best possible! i have amenhorrea and trying to get my period back as well. love from argentina❤️
I suspect my issue is stress... Everything should work just fine, I don't really have any health problems. Except for stress. Idk why, I shouldn't have a reason to be stressed out either, but my stress management has always been terrible and to be honest, I just feel bad :/
ليانthank u omg usually rice or noodles after a few weeks, i felt less weak and! my period came back :)) i think eating proteins will help you get it back so eggs and chicken are your new besties good luck
Thank for making this video!! I have a question. So im currently recovering and trying to get my period back(I’m having some signs!!!!) and I was wondering why I haven’t gotten my hunger cues back? I have restored my weight but because I’m 14 I still growing to I still have to keep gaining. Does not having a period affect hunger cues? And how can I get them back? Thanks love 😘 Edit: I GOT MY PERIOD BACK TODAY!!!! SO HAPPYYYYYYY!!!!!!
sorry for the really late response. To start off really commit to yourself because being consistent is not easy. Make sure to eat how least 3 meals and 3 snacks a day and listen to your mental hunger. Eat a lot of healthy fats and high calories foods as well. Getting good sleep is also essential for getting your period back because that the time when your body heals itself. As for exercise, I’d say to go cold turkey or stop it completely if you would like to get your period back faster. Overall just being consistent in everything is the key. I really wish the best for you sister😊. Good luck and keep me updated!
You cut your hair! it looks even prettier short wow! For me I got my period back two months ago (which was very very little and I had it for only two days), but still I haven't had my period after that .. dont know why, coz I have been eating well and do light excercises only.
Not having your period can lead to dry skin and hair, brittle nails, poor temperature control, infertility, and osteoporosis. Apparently it can also contribute to uterine cancer, but I'm not sure if it has been confirmed.
good video; after 3 stressfull years my body and also mind show , that they can´t cope with all of this; it´s a blessing seeing and understanding this, now I have to change my life in a way possible for me after having years of war behind :( hope it will work for me.
But what if everything is okay with my hormones (test showed that everything is ok) and im still not having a period? I had a cyst removed because it was (maybe) blocking my period but it hasnt arrived. What should i do?
I was looking for this but at the sime time i didin't want to. Because i'm still in the cuasirecovery stuff ): sooo this is a signal! Thank you sooo much💞
omggg im so happy you posted this because you've been a big inspiration during my recovery and im just getting my period back and these tips are really important to me. thank you ❤
Totally unrelated, but i need to feel more normal. Does anyone else felt horrible when they were in a bad ed point and people would talk about how skinnier they were?? I mean... i relapsed last month (after being in a diet for some time) and lost some kilos and everytime someone told me i lost weight i would feel so bad about myself! It would always makes me remember that i do have a body and that it is not skinny enough, even when someone says that as a good thing. My bf did think that was a stupid of me and did mock me a bit (he was already mad when i told him that, mostly because he was really worried about my health, but he is really suportive of me and is trying his best to make me feel better) and i just need to feel like someone else has gone through the same ;/
Yesss ! I think i get what you mean.. my mom talks a lot about how skinny i once was, and it really hurts me bc then its like my ed is like "if you once could be so skinny, you could easily do it again" i hate it :// Anyways hope your doing better xx
@@sarabang383 oh :/ i can totally understand you :/ i gained a bit of weight recently and i just feel horrible, specially because when i was at my worse i would have people telling about how skinny i was, however i dont have people telling me that i was skinny in the past.. i think its mostly because my mom and my bf still want me to gain more weight (even tho im not even near underweight) Its really hard not to go down that ed path when feeling like this :/ it is a cruel illness Oh well... i hope only the best for you and me
@@ohdarling6657 i feel you babe xx im gaining weight too and ig its just a part of recovery but lets not make it a bad thing, I really hope the best for you xx
