Just to let everyone know, the part about the 11 year old girl is very true and is burned into my memory for the rest of my life. That day profoundly impacted me to the core of my being and it is really hard for me to talk about, so yes I had to choke back some tears.
LIKE I SAID...please express your honest opinions. You can do so in the comments, on my instagram (@eatliftbemerrry), send me an email (amanda.eatliftbemerry@gmail.com), send a carrier pigeon...whatever. I hope this resonates with some people.
I've never done anything like this, so don't judge my recitation skills too harshly. I think it's actually PRETTY DECENT MMMMKAY? Anyways, enjoy...or do not.

I am speechless. Yet, my mind is racing with a million thoughts. You have evoked so much emotion from me, beautiful and necessary tears. I am so grateful for you. Putting yourself out there. And showing up for all of us when we cannot. Thank you.

Your words mean so much to me Kelly. I love you and am incredibly grateful to have you on my life. You are such an important piece to this puzzle of self love and acceptance!

As someone who spent 3 months in a inpatient ED program at a children's hospital, and 3 months in a residential ED program...THANK YOU. I am crying so hard...because every word you said...the 11 year old you mentioned...it's the truth, I've experienced it first hand... I have been in recovery for 3 years now, and with social media and the "fitness" industry the way it is right now, the glamourizing of eating disorders, it's so effing hard to recover. Thank you...for putting yourself out there, for sharing this with others. A thousand times...thank you.

Wow this really weighs heavy on my heart. First of all, you're so brave and SO strong for continuing to fight for recovery for 3 years. I can't imagine how hard it must be going in and out of treatment and then to top it off, social media is everywhere telling beautiful girls that they're not beautiful ENOUGH. Thank you so much for sharing some of your story. I think people need to hear, first hand, from those struggling, how much harder recovery is with the prevalence of problematic fitness industry content. It's unfortunate that it has come to this, but your voice is very important here. Keep fighting girl ❤️

I too competed and struggled from an eating disorder. That poem was absolutely beautiful and no girl should ever have to feel that way! My views have also changed, and fitness should be fun and encouraging! Food should not be feared, but enjoyed. We are all more than a number, and deserve to love our bodies. So thank you for your beautiful message! 💗

Wow amazing. Best video I've watched in a while, it has actually left an impact on me and makes you think.

Sometimes we see videos from years ago and think that we’ll see an update of these folks if they are still alive 😞 if not I hope you lived a great life. You seem very smart and I don’t even know you.

I appreciate your words so much, Ananda. I couldn't hold the tears. I can only imagine how hard it was for you to do this and then post it, but I understand why. This topic is so important. xx

@AmandaBenn90 8 лет назад

Wow thank you so much. It is a hard subject to talk about candidly and honestly, but I feel like just keeping the thoughts in my head is problematic. I'm glad you enjoyed it ❤️
