If you watched the video fully through, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for listening. I’ll be honest and say that I do sometimes question my decisions about sharing this much personal stuff from my life. But you guys probe to me every, single time that it’s the right thing to do - because of how much it helps not only myself but you too. So thank you
🤩🤩Wow!!! You are more beautiful than the most lovely rose And more sweet than honey and more precious than gold You are more precious than everything that exists in this world 😍😍😍 A beauty queen whom I never ever seen any one as beautiful as her before and may never ever in my whole entire life will see anyone as beautiful as her-meaning you-at all.. 😍😍 WoW!!! you are a lovely butterfly and a beautiful rose you are the diamond and the pure gold you are the lovely moon in our nights you are the radiant sun shining soo bright loving you is sooo sweet its the most enjoyable thing for you are the paradise for the heart and soul and mind Everything about you is sooo unique and attracts the eyes and captivates the mind God surely perfected you so glorified is he whom made you too beautiful and made you soo smart 🌷😘 There was a teacher whom didn't believe in the existence of God, one day he asked his students, do you see God? the students then replied no we don't see God, so the teacher said if you don't see God it means there is no God. then a smart student stood up and said to the other students hey guys can you see the teachers brain? then the students answered no we don't see the teachers brain, the student then said the teacher then is crazy, he has no brain :0) 😍😍 Wow!!, you are too beautiful!!! whomever see you should believe that God is true & real.. and whenever I see you I feel like Iam in a dream, And when we wake up we will all realize that all this life was nothing but a dream and that only God is whats true and real.. The universe science says was not always there, it had a beginning point, the big bang, meaning it was begun/initiated in other words created, thus there should be a creator, there must be a God. Also, check this out, if you like, this is from Artificial intelligence, chat Gpt: Prophecies in Major World Religious Books Referring to Prophet Mohammed: 1. The Bible - Deuteronomy 18:18-19, John 14:16, John 16:7-14, Isaiah 42:1-13 2. The Hindu Scriptures - Bhavishya Purana, Atharvaveda Book 20 Hymn 127-129 3. The Buddhist Scriptures - Cakkavatti-Sihanada Sutta, Anguttara Nikaya III:61, Digha Nikaya III:76-77 4. The Zoroastrian Scriptures - Zand-i Vohuman Yasht, Farvardin Yasht, Dadestan-i Denig & Regarding the verses in the Quran asking to protect non-believers or polytheists, there are several that emphasize the importance of treating all people with respect and kindness, regardless of their religious beliefs. One such verse is found in Surah Al-Mumtahanah (60:8), which states: "Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly." Also In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Merciful (If any of the polytheists seek protection from you, grant him protection) بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم(إن استجارك أحد من المشركين فأجره) Another verse in Surah Al-Anfal (8:61) encourages Muslims to make peace with their enemies, even if they are non-believers or polytheists: "And if they incline to peace, then incline to it also and rely upon Allah. Indeed, it is He who is the Hearing, the Knowing." & Regarding the verses in the Quran asking for justice and kindness, there are many such verses throughout the holy book. One example is found in Surah An-Nahl (16:90), which states: "Indeed, Allah orders justice and good conduct and giving to relatives and forbids immorality and bad conduct and oppression. He admonishes you that perhaps you will be reminded." & In terms of prophecies about Prophet Mohammed in major world religions, there are a few examples that some scholars have pointed to. One such example is found in the Bible's Book of Deuteronomy (18:18), which states: "I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him." Some Muslims interpret this verse as a prophecy about Prophet Mohammed. Because the Arabs are the brethren's of Israelites, The Arabs are descendants from Ishmael or Ismail the brother of Isaac the father of Israelites, and because the verse didn't say from amongst them or from their descendants, it said from their brethren's. Similarly, some scholars point to a passage in the Bhavishya Purana, an ancient Hindu text, as a prophecy about Prophet Mohammed. The passage describes a "holy man" who will come from Arabia and spread a new religion, and some argue that this refers to Mohammed and the spread of Islam.. Also search scientific miracles in the quran, harun yahya its nice, One God for all of us he created us all and can revive us again, God initiated everything, & he repeat/redo things too, & thats clear, we see many cycles of different things in life, also in summer for example the desert land becomes like empty and is filled with only sand, and when rain falls in abundance in spring or winter, after that small flowers & wild plants grow again, also, we see how humans and animals grow and how their body is formed from the elements which were in the sand which plants feed on which they eat, and after they die they go to the sand and their atoms/elements are taken by plants which humans & animals eat and their bodies grow from those atoms & elements found in the sand which came from previous humans & animals which died before, so God can bring us again after we die even if our atoms became in the sand he can make us from the same atoms we were made of or from other atoms if he want or make us be in a spirit form or like ghosts, any ways, everything in this life is recycled, learn if you want about the different cycles in life in nature, the food cycle or food chain, the water cycle, even the gas cycle that makes the air the oxygen &carbon dioxide &nitrogen cycles, even the energy is like recycled but only changes from form to another form. Anyways,, God created this life but it's only a temporary sample/an example of a coming everlasting one which could be either in heaven paradise or in hell. If we try to be good humans in life, and try to obey God and his messengers-including the final messenger for all humanity the prophet Mohammed- and those whom rightly represent them, for example imam Ali & ahlulbayt the family/good descendants of the prophet mohammed, then we will all go to heaven/paradise, if not then we will go to hell fire and burn in it forever. keep shining sunshine &spread the light
Also, as for getting your period back, i would recommend doing less exercise/high intensity workouts. Your body is begging for rest 💕 its going to thank you in so many ways in the long run. Sending hugs
This was me two years ago. Almost like seeing myself from the outside. I was on hormonal birth control for two years and it helped with my bone density a lot! Wish you the best!
Hey Katharina , I just wanted to say that you are a huge inspiration to me . The way how you push yourself to attain your goal has made me start exercising again so I can feel happier about my body . This past week has also been one of worst body image days so I can completely relate to you . Anyway I send love and strength to you !
I wish for you to do what's best for you, your body and mind (especially when you're adding more exercise). We want to be strong & healthy, inside out!
I don’t mean this to question your doctor’s advice but merely to share my experience and give an alternative view for others in the same position. I was diagnosed with osteopenia (bordering osteoporosis) at the age of 24.. When I consulted an endocrinologist we weighed up the different options but it came down to the fact that addressing the root cause (ie. eating ENOUGH) is the most critical in order to restore normal hormonal function. TL;DR: Taking HRT doesn’t resolve the underlying issue so it shouldn’t be seen as the solution by itself (if taken at all), but rather as an aid alongside adequate nutrition. Sending love to anyone reading this 💕
I'm 100% aware it's not a solution. It's a kickstarter he advised me to get in order to start my own period again, naturally. and tbh, I need the extra hormones. I'm not using this as an easy way out (quite the opposite). I wan't to be totally free from them and just naturally healthy and strong. But it takes time!
this series is so amazing & raw & honest. thank you for letting us have a glimpse into your world, it’s so comforting to see the struggles along with the successes ♥️
I'm so happy you enjoy watching it. I'm honestly, as mentioned, a bit in doubt from time to time wether it's the right thing to do (sharing it). But this remind me that it not only helps me but other people too! Thank you for letting me know ❤
Your bad body image is exactly the same as how mine was. And I can tell you, it will get better. It might seem like it will never. But it’s is insane how your brain is making you look at yourself. It’s not realistic. I recently looked at photo’s of myself where in the moment I took them, I thought I looked horrible and fat. But now, looking at them again, I think I looked so so skinny. I can’t wrap my head around that I thought I was fat in that moment. So keep up the good work❤️
I’m so sad hearing how doctors still keep prescribing hormonal treatment for Hypothalamic amenorrhea. It doesn’t kickstart your own period and only causes something called a "withdrawal bleed" which means you don’t have your ovulation which is what you need. HRT or the pill will also make it difficult to know when your real period shows up. I would highly recommend you listen to the hypothalamic amenorrhea podcast and read the "no period? Now what?" Book (they have a podcast too called the all in podcast) to learn more about it. I study this and am soon a hypothalamic amenorrhea practitioner, so I see this story daily how females go on the pill to "get their period back" but unfortunately it’s not their period and they don’t get all the benefits from getting their real period and ovulation back xx The pill will not get you closer to getting your real period - it only gets you closer to a withdrawal bleed 😢
It's not a replacement, it's a kickstarter. The extra hormones have been given to me ONLY to help me get my own period, naturally back (to awaken my body). It's not something I need to rely on for the rest of my life but ONLY as something that could help my natural process to start again, hopefully. That's the aim!
@@katharinaschneiderr unfortunately, that's not how it works. Many drs say that, but that's not the truth. If you get your REAL period (ovulation) back during this time, it will be because of YOUR work - not the pills xx
You are so strong! Change is hard. It is hard to adjust to a new healthier body but once you are at a healthy weight for awhile it becomes your new normal and the feelings do not last forever. Your new normal will adjust it just takes time.
Flashback for me! I went on oestrogen hormones for 3 months to start my period, but it still took a year after treatment until it came! Good luck to you starting hormone treatment ❤(it's so worth it!). Also, getting a period back has made my bone density increase so I won't get osteoporosis! Finally goodbye to anorexia! 👏🏻
You'll get there Katharina! In order to weight restore I had to gain over double my bodyweight at the time. I've reached my natural weight about 6 months ago and have remained there ever since. My body image has been horrific for the entire time. However, now I'm finally at a place of acceptance. I feel more feminine and my quality of life is so much better. Keep going and don't stop until you get there! Sending loads of love and heaps of hugs xxx
I am beyond proud of you and happy to be hearing about your story!! It bring me so much hope for the future and really just keeps me even more accountable to keep pushing. Thank you xx
Hey Katha, Of course you want to stay positive throughout your recovery journey, but keep in mind that recovering from an illness also means that you feel bad some (or many) days. Don’t worry about being an inspiration to people, because you most certainly are. Showing the hard parts only makes your progress more inspiring. Just keep pushing through❤️. You won’t always feel negative about your body, the eating disorder won’t always be loud. Every time you ignore the disorder, it gets smaller. And: Your future self will thank you for eating the cake / the pizza / the cookies, because it made better memories than the times you said no. You’re doing amazing, it takes a lot of physical and mental strength and I’m proud of you for giving it your all❤️.
The reason why your bloated is also because if you have been undereating for a prolonged period of time, your body will keep weight around your stomach at first (it’s also a lot of water weight). Because of all your organs, your body is protecting you
True. I think when I talked about it in the video was solely a 'mental' feeling. Like my mind yelling at me (as ED can, tricking you to view yourself in an untrue way). Thank you xx
Dear Katharina, I remember that when I went through this hormonal change, I experienced exactly the same symptoms. It will be a roller coaster of emotions and what usually helped me was just snuggling up with a good book, movie and snack. This went on for a good year and only last week got my period back after years!!! It’s so worth it (I really mean it!) and even though it’s hard to push through, once your hormones are stabilized your body image will get better and self acceptance is easier because of regulated happiness and inner peace. Lots of love and strength! You’re doing amazing! ❤️
Kath, thank you. I'm going through the same thing, and while I watch a lot of recovery profiles, none of the stories have touched me as much as yours. After watching your videos, I always want to hug you and tell you that it's going to be okay, that you're not alone in this, and that you can do it all. You're beautiful, on the outside and on the inside. Don't give up, you're stronger than you think. Sending a million hugs from the Czech Republic.🩷
Looking at you now compared to older videos, your face looks brighter and you seem happier with yourself. You should be so proud of the progress you’ve made so far. Keep going. We’re rooting for you❤😊
Dearest Katharina, I'm not professionally diagnosed, however watching your journey to recovery inspired me to commit to healing of my own. For me, I love how your videos showcase how SAFE it is to make health and happiness a priority. I wanted to share my deepest appreciation as I'm also trying to get my period back. I believe in us and everyone else who is working towards recovery ❤
I have recently started to watch your videos. They are something that I was looking for, they helped me. You really inspires me and I like your vibe. Just want to say you Thank you, you are such the Sun. 💗 And a question: where did you buy the T-shirt with "la Dolce vita"?
i don't think you realize how helpful this video is for me.. your so gorgeous and strong for posting these moments and sharing them. im gonna keep looking back at this video when i struggle with these same moments. and terrible body image,
thank you very much as always for showing everything as it is in reality, for being a person who inspires so many, you make me remember that perseverance and hard work are the key to success. you are very strong and you can do it, it's going to be difficult but you have a lot of support. happy to see you moving forward to achieve your goals once again!!! hugs 🫶🏽🫶🏽
girlll omg, when you pull out that muffin I screameddd, you have no idea how proud I am, you are not alone in this journey, keep going the hard work, it always pays off
I think sharing your story is so incredibly valuable. about three years ago I also lost my period but because I did not know the consequences it took years before I sought professional help. I think it is our resonsibility (as women) to teach young girls that this is not normaal and you should seek help. Sending lots of love xxx
This video helped me so SO much with keeping going, thank you so much for documenting your journey because now I feel like i’m not alone with my journey (weight gain, periods, bones, bad body image, constant doubt…. You know it). You give me so much support through your videos you can’t even imagine ♥️♥️ and that point where you were crying AND still chose to give a middle finger to your ED thoughts with the muffin.. damn i’m so proud of you!! You inspired me to do exactly the same✊🏽🤘🏽
But even if you get it back artificially that’s not the same as naturally getting your menstrual cycle. I’m not saying your doctor is wrong but I have been through this as well. I don’t think the pill is the best option. I recommend working with a women’s health and fertility specialist to get it back naturally.
Im not totally sure how I came upon your channel (I end up in RU-vid rabbit holes a lot). However, I am really happy that I have found it. I don’t find a lot of overlaps in our lives but I find that I really appreciate your honesty and willingness to share the vulnerable side of your experience. I wish you the best of luck and hope that others glean a lot of inspiration from your experience and insight ❤️
I'm so happy you stumbled across and that the algorithm brought you here! ;) Tysm for the kind words and your support. Hopefully you'll enjoy my other videos too xx
Ein Keypoint um zu ermöglichen, dass die Hormone sich entwickeln können ist Fett in der Ernährung. Isst du genug Fett? Es geht nicht darum, mehr Kalorien zu sich zu nehmen sondern welcher Anteil der Kalorien, die du nimmst stammt aus Fett? Minimum 40-50% der Kalorien sollten aus Fett stammen, nicht aus Ballaststoffe, nicht aus Kohlenhydrate... aus Fett. Ich würde dir empfehlen, dein Leptinpegel im Blut bestimmen zu lassen. Beschäftige dich bitte damit. Übrigens, und ich meine es liebevoll: du siehst alles andere als gesund aus.
I'm eating enough fats in my diet, yes :) Keep in mind, this video was shared months ago. I recommend that you check my most recent videos. I got everything checked when I had my blood work done.
You got this :) Change is always scary but when you face it you always end up some place better. Good luck to you friend :D catching up on some of your videos btw LOL
hi dear, i don't know whether you will ever see my comment, but I've been in your position before too. No period, chronically addicted to exercise (ofcourse I would never have admitted that to myself but at the state i was i should NOT have been permitted into the gym 😭), so afraid of eating what was "too much", gaining weight, everything. I'm here for you and I 100% understand what you're going through. But please, trust me, it gets better. Remember this: a life without your period is not sustainable. What i mean is, YOU CANNOT CONTINUE TO KEEP LIVING LIKE THAT. simple as that. you just cannot go life without your period. so when the voices get too bad, when they try to convince you that you're getting fat or anything like that, please trust me when I say they are a lie. you are so freaking BEAUTIFUL and i'm sorry the voices convinced you otherwise or stopped you from seeing that. but please don't lose hope there is so much light at the end of this tunnel. after getting my period back and entering a new body, wow, I can tell you I have never felt this good. living the way you are now is not sustainable in the long run, and we all have to do something about it. i love you and am rooting for you, and i trust that you will see the light ♥ stay blessed!
Felt soo weird in my body with mood swings, pain (you know where:’)) and just a sense of discomfort from time to time. But I honestly don’t think it comes down to the HRT itself. Could be something different🤔
Hi Katharina, I was taking similar hormones. I remember that state - I felt full and looked full (exactly like you). What a terrible feeling. Except that I just couldn't eat anything hard to digest, because my stomach hurt. After a few days of such an infantile diet I was starving. To sum up, I got my period back - artificially induced. The natural period returned after about six months and I have it every month to this day. And it has been 12 years. :) I believe in you.
Jesus loves you so much! And you being healthy is more beautiful than anything else! What you are doing is so hard, but in the end you WILL BE so gratefu thaat you pushed through hard times like these. I'm praying for you and God bless!
You are doing such an amazing job. Personally, I found watching Elzani Singleton's old videos soooo helpful as she is such an inspiring strong ED survivor so maybe you might find her videos comforting too. Best of luck, you can do it!!!
I’ve been watching her videos since 2018🥹 She was the reason I realised I needed to change.. it’s incredible how far she has come!! A true inspiration. Thank you xx
found you through tiktok back in february and you quickly became my by far favourite "influencer"! not to sound selfish by i can see you be really famous soon, which i always get mad when some of my favourites are suddenly everyones favurites :D love watching your journey since im struggling myself. to be honest you really are the first person who actually encourages me to take my health seriously after years of suffering. altough my health is slowly crushing down, i used to ignore since its not like i was dying (slowly i am) but you really motivate me to face it because WHEN, IF NOT NOW. i want to live fully. thank you so much and please continue what you re doing. love you
My hair got really thin and I had stopped my vitamin b not knowing it wud effect hair ? Did your doctor tell you vit b effects hair ? I’m bk on it now just didn’t know they were linked xx
Baby Girl, you are doing AMAZING! Please take this from someone who has struggled for over 20 years, and somehow managed to have three healthy children (even while extremely under weight myself). It's NOT easy.
Hello. I love watching your videos. I wonder if you have therapy for those inner thoughts and your body image? It’s necessary to move forward and to find self love
Sweet girl you can do hard things. It’s ok to cry. Feel your feelings. Then them let them go and keep fighting. The journey is a difficult one but you deserve to be free and at peace. You’re doing amazing🫶🏽💓🌻🌈✨🪬
I don't experience extreme hunger anymore. It's been a very long time. But what I remember is that it felt insane not to be satisfied at any point. So hard to push through BUT YOU HAVE TO! It's so important xx
Heyy I wanted to say that this series and especially this video has helped me so much with my weight gain journey too because they are so relatable and they show me I'm not alone. Do you see a therapist or a psychologist? If you don't I would highly recommed it, it really helps me deal with the difficult thoughts.
And yes mentally when I gained weight and got back on track for my age and height it was and is still hard to accept, I feel overweight when I am not,I am now healthy. But I just wanted you to know that this whole journey is about being the healthiest you can be, so keep going you are so strong and have made sm progress. even though it will be hard and it doesn’t come without challenges, you will learn to love and except your body when you are healthy and when you’ve reached your goals!
This video was so inspiring, you are such a lovely person! Also, I wanted to let you know that you are not alone in this, I am on a somewhat similar journey (although not on hormonal treatment but also needing to gain weight and health back!), and your mental struggles are sooooo familiar to me. It is freaking hard, but let's rock this together!!! 💖
The love towards your body needs to grow and that is normal. I so much love how i look at the moment, but used to complete hate it and wanted to punish myself for it every day. I hated myself and wanted to destroy myself. I always said, if I can love myself, everyone should be able to get there too
I think you are so beautiful and doing amazing… your boyfriend obviously cares about you… lean on him when you are unsure or feel weak… we all need support… trust in the process… you are stronger than you think you are… you are helping so many others with these posts as everyone feels unsure abd uncomfortable sometimes… you are not alone in this!!! 🥰❤️🥰
I watched the first video of your series when you posted it and I’ve been invested in your journey ever since. I have people in my life who have struggled with ED and hearing your story has really helped me understand it more. Seeing all the hurdles you have overcome in such a short amount of time is inspiring. Keep going girl!! You are so amazing and strong! Love from Michigan🩷
you are so brave and strong. I know that feeling and I just wanted to say that you are so incredible strong and keep on fighting, it will be worth it in the end i promise
Du är så STARK! Tack för att du delar din resa med oss alla. Jag har också precis startat ta estrogen-ersättnings tabletter. Dem här videorna gör så att jag vill fortsätta bli healthy och få tillbaka min mens. Vi kommer klara det!!!
I am so so so proud of you❤ And I just want to remind you that many persons are struggling with their body image :) I know you can do this, because you are a strong beautiful human💪🏼
You're doing great Kat! Mind if I call you Kat? :) It takes a lot courage and confidence to bare your life so openly! Be proud of yourself, and how you overcome your challenges! :)
Your such a beautiful person inside and out. You are trying so hard and I’m so so proud. So many doors will be opened when you are healthy. You can do it, I know you can. I have so much hope for you ily ❤️❤️❤️ Also reminder that weight distribution occurs later (weight will distribute away from the stomach) when your organs are safer
Thank you so much for sharing! I am wishing you the best. I really hope you're getting mental health treatment/therapy during this because I can't imagine going through this without it
You are so brave especially the middle part, your lunch looked okay but not sure what it is, maybe cottage cheese dark bread salmon and something else? We are there for each other in this community you made
I know my story is a lot different than yours but I was scared of gaining weight and looking “bigger” but when I finally did I got back on track and target for my age and height also I got my period back just around the end of June! I had it so non-regularly and I’m turning 17 this month so I was worried as the doctor told me as long as I got it about the time I’m 16 I’d be fine. around middle school I was underweight and felt so hopeless and insecure about my weight, I couldn’t gain weight I tried everything and forced myself to eat a lot but it was frustrating to not gain weight. The point is you will get there and ik you know that you can!
Ahh Katharina yet another video where I feel even more connected to you. The negative thoughts that come with weight gain and body image make everything so much harder, especially when you've experienced a period of weight gain. I went through a similar thing and honestly now kind of feel like I've gone a few steps backwards, I just don't feel mentally strong enough to ignore the thoughts. But this video made me feel more inspired to commit back to recovery, so thank you. I can't imagine how hard it must be for you to edit the videos and look back on these moments but it really helps a lot. Please do prioritise yourself and your wellbeing, if it gets too much thats okay! sending you lots of love from NZ xx
outstanding well done nice gains you are doing awsome it's not easy im sure to go threw for sure. Have you ever thought of being a motivational speaker for others that may be going threw the same struggles you are overcoming down the road .Remember one day at a time im here to support as much as I am able to keep pushing along you've got this. Have a wonderful week hopefully your not working to hard and eventually you being on another trip soon.
SO PROUD OF YOU, KATHARINA!!!! I know that you are a beautiful inspiration and encouragement to many other girls who are also struggling with an eating disorder! Thank you for being raw and honest with us. Praying for you and for your healing process.
ahh Katharina I want to give you a huge hug!! I know how mentally draining it is to be fighting those thoughts all the time, and you've been doing such an incredible job so far! like you said, you've made so much progress and you've 100% got this. you've been getting physically stronger, but you're getting so much stronger mentally too -- even if progress isn't linear (and I'm sure throwing hormones into the mix isn't fun either haha) you're doing so amazingly. your positivity is so admirable and watching your videos & progress makes my heart warm ❤
The only weight you’ll ever gain is the weight you were never meant to lose 🤍 I always remind myself that at my lowest weight i wasnt living, i was just alive. Keep going, its going to be so worth it. Continue to be gentle with yourself 🤍
You are such a lovely person and i just wanted you to know that you inspired me through my recovery journey thank you for documenting your journey and because of you i dont feel lonely
YOU ARE SO STRONG! You’ve helped me so much in my recovery. Everything is getting easier and anorexia is as close to completely out of my life as I belive is possible. I love your videos, your courage, your strength, you inspire me so much! Remember that it gets easier! Every small choice and minimal step count! No food can harm you as much as an ed can! ❤️❤️💪
Aaaahh I am SO PROUD of you and happy to be reading this! YOU'RE SO STRONG! Proud of you and everything you've achieved. Connecting like this is such a great way to gain some motivation and boost our own will power. Thank you! ❤❤
