Now THIS is the type of content we need more of on this platform . Not ‘my disordered workout and diet routine’ or ‘diet culture in a nutshell’ . We need people to just give themselves a lil more comfort and love on here 💫💫✨✨✨ (Also so sorry to hear about Pudge he was adorable and you’ll always have the photos and memories even if he’s no longer here )
i gave into my craving of frozen yogurt tonight, and i felt bad after. started planning how i’d restrict this week, but i don’t think i will.. i really needed this, and like always, you made me feel better.
I don’t understand how anyone could say this is an ‘unhealthy day’ you literally eat like a normal human being. You never have to justify what you eat by saying it’s a ‘day off’ or you wouldn’t eat this all the time because there is literally nothing wrong with anything you eat ever. Always eat whatever you want lovely❤
i’ve finally gotten over a few fears of mine recently: eating when nobody else is in the room, eating more than the people around me, and eating what i want even if it’s not the “healthiest” option eg choosing some shortbread for a snack instead of an apple because i was craving shortbread instead. my extreme hunger has died down and i feel like my body is finally trusting me, and this is me healing. you’re an absolute inspiration and i’m sending you so much love, ro
Thank you for not only being honest about your recovery journey, but also about feeling tired and exhausted. I feel like the whole “that girl” trend does not allow people to be tired or take a nap once in a while. I know I pressure myself way too much when it comes to productivity and every time I see people online saying they are exhausted or they just took a nap right after breakfast I feel a whole lot better about myself. So thank you!
this is the best thing you could've done. Seriously, you're like my biggest idol in recovery. It's just beautiful to see someone who sees her body as a home and not as an object for anybody else. thank you for being such an inspiration!♡
This video is really what I need right now: the feeling of not deserving to eat what I enjoy no matter what I've eaten or if yesterday day was 'bad' has been creeping up so this was what I needed to remind me that I shouldn't let food control me
I’m sooo proud of you, you’ve helped me with my ED for awhile now and seeing you recover helps me a lot, I didn’t think it was possible for me to recover for awhile
This video was so encouraging to me because I've found that most of my favorite foods became fear foods during my anorexia because I convinced myself I didn't like them so that I wouldn't binge but now, during my recovery, I've challenged many and while I love them, I find it so hard to enjoy it because it freaks me out beyond reason and watching this type of content shows me the light at the end of the tunnel. All of your content does. Thank you :)
I constantly rewatch your videos, they remind me of how far I've come myself and how strong we as people can be. It's amazing to have watched your growth. I always feel so proud!
ro you're such an amazing person!! I remember stumbling upon one of your first videos a year ago and thinking "oh that's gonna be triggering" but i was deeply wrong. you taught me how to be gentle with myself during recovery and I'm forever grateful for it
Thanks so much for this lovely. I've been having a really hard time with relapse urges recently and maybe haven't been strong enough in fighting them but this helped me so much. You are just lovely and continue to help countless people even though you still struggle. Please be kind to your wonderful self. We love you, Ro. You're an inspiration. Xx
lately, i found myself craving bread but my brain keeps telling me not to and tonight, i finally got the courage to eat 2 pieces of my fav bread! just when i got super guilty, ro's video came up like a light in the dark. i just want to say that ever since i subscribed to this channel, i've felt nothing but safe and understood. thank u for bringing light to my dark thoughts, ro! u've helped us so much! ♡
I overcame my fear for rice a few weeks ago! Kinda proud of myself! Im proud of u btw ro, love your vids, youve helped me sm throughout my recovery and i wish all the best for u! Lots of love xx
Recovered from ED 5 years ago but the last steps are very difficult!!! The voice in your head keeps trying to get you back in the rules and the hell, but you are also working through the stuff/reasons where you needed the ED for and trying to figure out healthy ways to cope.... and i recovered for a while but my brain and body sometimes are in a bad place, Just because of life and how my thoughts work and how my body reacts on things.. but going through that with the connection of your head and body, can listen to all the signals, know how to handle the emotions without food/excercise .... everyday i so proud and happy with that still... so stay strong and take care
don’t wanna add details here just in case it’s triggering to anyone but i challenged myself multiple times today for different fear foods and the guilt did kick in but i believe it’s part of the journey. seeing how far ro has gone to in her recovery makes me believe that one day i will be free from all these nonsense that my brain is telling me. thank you so much ro
hi ro, i'm so happy that this video has found me!! i've watched a couple of your first videos and just recently thought of you and how you might be doing. i am really happy for you and proud of the progress you've made. you sound so content and confident. you can be so proud of yourself and you're such an inspiration to anyone struggling/having struggled with an ED
You got it girl! I'm so super proud of you, that i can't describe it... I have been in recovery for a year and a half now and watched your videos already from the beginning. Really motivating! Keep fighting, i know youre gonna make the happy life you deserve to live♡
You have helped me through early recovery, made me realise i wasnt actually recovering, but still holding on to my ed. This january ive made the decision to go all in and listen to my body fully, and it hasnt been perfect since then, but ive been so much more free and so bloody relieved... 💞Love you, Ro, and thank you!!
Hi I am 12 in recovery and you are so helpful. I love your words and your so inspiring and make me feel so very happy. Remember you are beautiful, loved and you are enough 🤍🤍🤍
I’ve been waiting all day for your upload to watch whilst I cook for the week & get prepped for a day of day patient therapy 😬 Have a lovely week Ro! X
hii. I'm beginning to let myself recover on my own, even though no one know that I've ever been struggling :/ it's extremely hard but just watching ur videos continues to help me and encourage so many positive things! i love u, thank you
hey I hope you’re doing well in your recovery xx I’m in a similar position (no one knows about my ED and I’m thinking of recovering) and you should be so proud of yourself for taking that step!! ❤️
So proud of you! Honestly the courage/strength you have to just keep pushing, especially at your lower points is so inspiring. I wish more people knew just how debilitating negative thoughts can be, it can take so much to just keep pushing past them. You're doing amazing Ro, keep going
You are doing amazing! I am so proud of you, obviously im a stranger but beating an eating disorder is a bloody amazing feat and you are a damn rockstar! And you look so beautiful! Well done
I've been following you for a while, and it's so awesome to see how far you've come in your recovery!! I'm working on having a healthier relationship with food, and you're inspiring to me to be kind to myself and give my body and mind what it needs!
I watched this while eating my lunch at work, one of the foods being a mini banana nut muffin. I loved them as a kid, and they always have them at continental breakfasts at hotels. This weekend I let myself have one in idk how long because I was on vacation, and when I got home I just missed that feeling so bad. Then I realized that there is literally nothing holding me back from having one every day, every day can be vacation. So even though that was a bit of a challenge, I want to (as someone in the comments said) turn this fear food back into a favorite food like when I was a kid.
I'm in recovery since I nearly died in October and I've just realized that I still don't eat enough to have a healthy and happy life. Your videos help me so much to see, why its worth to keep on fighting. You are a true inspiration. Keep on going, god bless you. With❤ from Austria
I look forward to your videos so much. I suffered from anorexia in my teens and 20s and am now 41 and still struggle with the mental bs everyday. Your positive energy and good advice help me out more than you know. I deal with food guilt daily and fear foods still. Tonight was a good example of that. I normally drink skim milk and buy a brand here called fairlife which is lactose free. I went to 2 stores and both were out. I will also drink vanilla almond milk but have never had unsweetened and wasn't sure about it so I just decided to say fuck it and get the 1% fairlife milk because i didn't wanna go to another store and I recalled what you said about challenging your thoughts and that food is fuel and its not bad.
thank u thank u thank u,Ro!i started to watch you since i started to think about recovering and now i AM RECOVERING.i am so proud of myself,although sometimes i am at my lowest.i am so proud of myself,although it may be hella hard both physically and mentally.i am so proud of myself,because i know that i am healing and feeling better.i am on my being in love with myself way and everything will be great. you are incredibly helpful and i wish you all the best!love ya!go queen
i was watching your videos and i had this sudden realization that due to my eating disorder i missed the last year that i got to be with my friends that ive known for 8 years, and that realization hurt so bad that i decided to recover to not miss any more important and incredible moments of my life, im still young i wanna live life without worrying about my body or what i eat everyday. Thank you for making these videos and thank you for making me want to recover for myself, sending everyone lots of love
like all your videos, this inspires me to carry on recovering and to continue eating what i love and fancy instead of eating what my disorder tells me and what it convinces me i like when realistically its bland etc. your videos inspires me to make younger me proud by eating what she loved.
This video really showed me that you don‘t have to be super productive every day to be able to eat. You don‘t have to do anything to „deserve“ to eat what you want. It is fine to just exist. Thank you Ro!❤️
It’s so nice to see how far u have come- it just motivates me to work even harder at my recovery because u show me that recovery is so possible - Tysm ro ur vids always brighten my day :)
I did have a food I haven’t been letting myself have, but did after watching this video, and even added more to challenge myself further :) Thank you for the prompt and inspiration!
Thank you for wanting us to recover and challenge food rules as well 💜 I’m going to challenge chocolate bars and have my absolute favourite kit kat chunky
AWWWW I actually love this so so much! So tired o triggers, arguing and competition in the community... also calming me down a lot I've got my weigh in this morning I am really scred. Do you think you could talk about your experience with extreme hunger a bit more in a vid? Going thru it right now I'm so confused
3:52, On days where you still feel hungry after having a meal, it's fine to go for seconds. Snacks don't fill you up as much as meals do, they're more meant as side dishes for mental hunger and preventing blood sugar dropping or hunger throughout certain parts of the day. I'm not hating, nor correcting you or telling you what to do, just spreading awareness and letting you know it's okay to have seconds during a meal!
i follow and support you since the beginning, since your very first video and I can’t even explain how proud of you I am!! You’re my comfort person and I look up to you so much 💘 keep going ro, you’re such an inspiration
I'm eating self sauce and pudding with some ice cream while watching this thank you it feels like I'm with you and makes me feel so much better I'm not alone!!!
What an absolute boss babe you are❤ It's honestly amazing to see you thrive like this, I've followed you from the beginning of your recovery, and seeing you being in love, being so much more at peace and having the glow back in your eyes touches me deeply ❤ you're so strong, and so incredibly inspiring and I wish you nothing but the best 🌻🌼❤
Thank you so much for this video Ro. I've been having such a ruff time with recovery and your content really really helps me. You show us that recovery is wonderfull and totally worth it. Thank you again
I've been really appreciating your videos over the last week. It's been very rough but your videos are really lovely to listen to and take positive vibes from :)
Little note on your breakfast leaving you feeling weak and tired is maybe add a protein and a fat to your meals because it helps to keep your blood sugar stable, keeps energy more stable, and helps energy to last longer. Sorry for the unsolicited suggestion just a thought I had that really helped me and my energy sustainability.
Amazing! 1st time comment, regular watcher! I love how you say "this is the sh%t " as you eat the icecream...yep, its the dogs bollox! Its a blessing to watch your journey and how far you've come. Thank you for sharing everything. your so honest, always. Heres to many more relaxed favourite food days🏅💫 you are strong, you are worthy x x
i was so happy to see u have pains au chocolat for breakfast bc they also are my always and forever favorite pastry!! also thanks for the vid it was amazing, im so proud to see how far you've come
when I see your video pop up on my YT-menu I always get so excited:)) your content is so positive & joyful, but in such an authentic & healthy way and so down-to-earth, I just love everything about it!
Proud of you for allowing yourself to rest when you needed to. Learning to recognise this need and honoring it before reaching burnout is an important skill❤️💪
Today I’ve been struggling A LOT with food and this video just popped out when I was about to have my evening snack. Just perfect, thank you so much Ro
Love the way you are always challenging yourself/the anorexia. Always keep one step ahead of it! And allow To, yourself the food you deserve!! You got this 💪❤️
Hello Ro! I am white a bit Kate in commenting but gosh....this video was a nice bright vibes of sunshine...haha...other than all the food being so incredibly, wonderfully, excitingly haha inspirational/motivational everything you spoke about just open my heart and put that smile on my face such as the stuff with diet culture BS...the need to have to justify things which we don't have to.....fears/scary food being the favs now...being gentle with yourself and not just physically....aaww all so helpful for me to hear and very much hopeful. I mean it's what I truly want. I'm very proud of you for the effort you put throughout your recovery and still today...it's great, it's messy, it's realistic (from what I know and I can hear/feel it), it's all so genuine. I think pretty much everything you have and do struggle with I can so relate and understand in my own ways. The recovery part I have not YET grasp but you give so much hope for that. I need to push, be consistent, be honest, be scared, be uncomfortable, be vulnerable and everything in between...thank you Ro for being your true self and being so strong and vulnerable on here/social media....I appreciate you. I'm soooo sure everyone else does too. Love you loads...lol your hilarious..love that always. Thanx 🥊 🍨 🥄🥪🥓🍛🍎🥭🍪☕🏡🚗🐾🎥💻💚🤎☮️☀️👏🤭
Before I started watching this, I was obsessively pacing around my room, stomach growling but still thinking I ate way too much and trying to burn off the calories. Now, I have hope for recovery, that one day I’ll be like you. Thank you❤
i have my gcses starting tomorrow and i’ve been told that if i lose any more weight i won’t be allowed to do them. i have my next weigh in on thursday and i know that i’ve lost weight. so i’m absolutely fighting my brain, drinking calories (i hate feeling full so drinking calories is helping me atm) and just all-round trying to not lose any more weight because otherwise i’ll be still taking my gcses when all my friends are taking a levels :( im really stressed about gcses and often when i get stressed anorexia loves to sneak in and all of a sudden i realise im back in restriction again, so i’m absolutely praying to god that my eating will be okay throughout my gcses. watching your videos are keeping me going though
honestly thank you so much for uploading these videos it's been helping me a lot recently, today I tried overcoming my fear of pizza and i ate 2 slices AFTER dinner, usually I'd restrict but it was sooooo good thank you for encouraging me !!!
Everyone always has their own views and that’s exactly what it is. THEIR views. You can’t give up or whatever because of something someone else says that they may not even think of tomorrow. That’s their issues. As long as you are healthy, happy, eating and drinking , there is nothing wrong with a varied diet. We all have good days and bad days and then the next day is a new day to start again. If you feel like fruit, ice cream, bread, croissant, salad, whatever it all balances out . Enjoy your self and your life.
Dear Ro, I just wanted to say how much help you have been to me over the last year, I began my recovery around the same time as you after having suffered for 4 years and today I am a much happier person, just wanted to say thank you xx
I love your content it helps me more than you will ever know in my anoxeria relapse you make me feel like I deserve to eat when I'm crying because I can't do it at times.
I’m in recovery too :( It’s so hard just to put yourself up to food that you’re forced to eat. I’m younger than you probably think and it’s so soooo hard for me. My dance has been taken away, same as school and exercising. I want to cry.
hey there, i know recovery is hard(im 16 btw), im just about 5 months in and its still difficult, but it does get easier. soon youll get used to eating what your parents/doctors tell you to eat. trust me. i went from fully freaking out at every meal to being able to eat a full meal on my own with no one around. just remember that your eating disorder isnt the answer- it wont make anything better. your eating disorder won't give you anything it promises. i also know how hard it is to have things taken away from you- ive had to leave school and im going to end up graduating a year later than everyone else. for a little while recovery might seem all-consuming, but slowly you will get your life back and it will be so worth it. im proud of you for recovering(even if you dont want to) its one of the hardest things anyone could do(which im sure you know) but ive talked to so many people who have gotten through it and none of them regret it. i hope youre still recovering and if you need to talk im here. i dont want to seem too intense but i know how hard this is and im proud of you
