ONE YEAR IN ANOREXIA RECOVERY - Q&A, an honest update 

haven’t even started the video yet and i can already tell it’s going to be amazing :) i am so incredibly happy for you for choosing recovery and happiness. thank you so much for being a beacon of hope and such a beautiful soul

You were the reason I decided to start recovery, hearing how much better you've gotten since then made me want to recover too. I would watch you're videos and eat with you and the more I did the less scarier it got. So I wanna say thank you for everything you do

so incredibly proud of you ro, I’ve been watching your channel and following you since you started recovery and honestly it’s beautiful to watch❤️

I’ve watched from the beginning and I’m so happy for you. You’ve been so brave and so strong. I hope others see this and are inspired to get healthy because they’re worthy of a happy life.

I’m so so proud of you and how far you’ve come this year. You showed the world that it is possible to completely turn your life around in one year. You’re brilliant. I know it’s not easy and it definitely isn’t all unicorn and rainbows but you’ll get there. Keep fighting Ro, you deserve not only to eat and rest but also to live a full happy life. I hope you’re proud of yourself too. Sending you a lot of love, as always xxx

Just want to say you being so open have helped me through my recovery process! Thank you

I’ve watched you all year and I’m just so proud and inspired by your recovery. Sending so much love and support always. Xoxo

i remember watching your first vid this time last year. oh, how far you’ve come

I’m so proud of you, you’re a strong person! Thank you so much that you do social media. You motivate me incredibly with your videos, I started to recover

i’m so glad that you continued on and brought these videos to the world❤️ life changing

your such an inspiration to me and so many other people♥️ you are so strong and have helped me in recovery

im so incredibly proud of how far you've come, I still remember watching your first ever video a year ago and already feeling so inspired by you. Im so thankful that you exist not gonna lie hahaha keep going lovely 🤍

I literally cry at every one of your videos. thank u for everything you've done for the recovery community.

I've been watching you for ages and honestly it's been like watching you become yourself. You are amazing Ro, seeing you become who you are and fight for your life back has done so much for all of us, I am so proud of you

you've helped me so much during my recovery and I am so happy about how far you have gotten

I just wanted to thank you for sharing your journey and for helping me, and probably many others, to heal our relationship with food❤️❤️ And also I’m so proud of you for how far you’ve come, lots of love💗

I'm so incredibly proud of how far you've come! you've pushed and fought so hard to get to this point and it has paid off. You inspire me and so many others to start/keep with recovery despite all the emotions and struggles we all will face. You're truly an inspiration to all and we're all just so proud!

I’m so proud of you for fighting for your life for an entire year. You have helped me more than you will ever know. I decided to stop restricting on April 8, 2021, very shortly after finding your channel. Thank you for being a resource when I felt like I didn’t have a single one left❤️

It's actually crazy how far i've come! i used to watch your videos right at the start of my recovery; i genuinely can't believe how far i've gotten in recovery-i'm back at school and i'm finally getting to do the things i wanted to do all on my own!! 2022 is going to be a great year!

ro i’m SO bloody proud of you💘i remember watching your first ever vid at the start of last year- watching this your strength and aura is SHINING!!!

Thank you for being honest about where you no longer struggle, it's so refreshing to see someone in recovery saying where they don't struggle anymore rather than where you do !!

I’ve been watching your channel since you started and I’m so incredibly proud of you !! You are such an inspiration !! Xx

Ro, I just want to say thank you so much. I am almost a year in to recovery as well, and it was your videos that helped inspire me. I would eat and cry along with you while getting stronger each day. We don’t know each other but without your support and videos, I would not be where I am today!

So emotional watching this, I found you shortly after I was fully recovered and I just think you are amazing!

Selfishly I’ve missed your videos but honestly, truly I’m thrilled that your life has become more important to you and that you are putting yourself first. You deserve EVERYTHING you’ve ever dreamed of and I wish for you that your recovery, health and happiness goes from strength to strength. Thank you for being so inspiring ❤️😘 xxx

What an inspiring, strong and eloquent person you are. You look and sound amazing 🥰 I’m so very happy you got through this awful part of your life and fought back and I wish you every bit of happiness and health for the future

CONGRATULATIONS !!!!! I’m really happy to see where you got. I’m so happy to see you didn’t give up! You are the reason why i started recovery. You’re such an incredible inspiring person. I’m so proud of you!!!!!! ❤️❤️

hi ro! i have been watching your videos since the beginning and they have helped me choose recovery. it hasn’t been easy but i do know it is so worth it! i love you so much! 💕

You are such a calming presence I can't even begin to describe it. Thank you for putting yourself out here on youtube and sharing your journey with such honesty and compassion. I'm sure you have changed a lot of lives and I am definitely one of them. Keep up the good work. Keep fighting. You got this.

You're CRUSHING recovery! Such an inspiration to so many people. We are proud of you 🥰

Congrats on one year on recovery! To see the change from when I watched your first video is amazing. I've really enjoyed watching your journey. keep up the hard work!

You are literally one of my biggest motivations to keep going with recovery. I actually decided to eat intuitiatively thanks to you. I hope one day I will be able to sit down and say all those things you said about getting healthier. I am so glad you are doing okay, thank you for being there for us all

You are so inspiring. You are helping me and so many other people to make a decision and to choose life. I'm glad that I have found this channel and I can listen to someone who went trough this and keeps pushing.I know in the end I have to “just“ do it. But listening to this positivity makes me feel a little bit calmer. I am also really proud of you! Thank you Ro! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!😪💓

Being able to socialise again is truly an incredible gift in recovery

Congratulations on your recovery anniversary🎈! Thank you for sharing your experiences of this remarkable year. I can only applaud how you say you make vids and share on your terms, that sounds very healthy to me. Love you and I’m cheering for every step in your -so bravely claimed- progress 🥳.

I wanted to thank you for being such a massive inspiration and a motivation to recover! I found your channel when I was still trying to fight recovery, but you motivated me to start giving it my all in the new year and I know I won't regret it :)

I am so happy for your recovery, and I am quite positive about the fact that your experiences will help many others to change the road from death to life. Your videos have also helped me to realize early enough that my weight loss journey (that I truly needed to get into a healthy and strong state) is sliding into an unhealthy attitude towards food as I realized certain habits that I started to have were similar to some things you talked about. I was quite shocked about this but was able to push the brake early enough. Thank you for your openness. ❤

I have been watching you on this blessed recovery journey from the beginning. You are a very strong, lovely souled young woman. Blessings to you!🙏

Just this afternoon, I was missing you and decided to check your new videos. When I didn't see any, I started binge-watching old videos. I love you Ro!

It's amazing to see how far you've come. Very proud of you! ❤️

Your videos are so comforting Ro x

Thank you so much for your honesty and strength! Sorry to hear you're down at the moment; please don't feel forced to share those things when you feel uncomfortable to do so; I do of course hope you can share with your closest ones when you need to - it can take such a burden off of you as compared to trying to deal with the anxiety and negative thoughts on your own, and you are allowed to reach out to people and accept their support. ❤ Not sure where I'm going with this mini ramble... I'm so glad your recovery continues to go really well, and I hope the down mood and anxiety will get better soon, too. Give it time - for many people (like me, though perhaps not for you), these things will just be a part of their lives on and off. After a while you know that it is just a temporary state, even if it may not feel like it in the moment. X

You actually had so much help. Your parents are much more support than I ever had ir have. For someone to positively cheer you through every meal is above and beyond whatever outside help you could possibly get. I hope you realize how lucky you are. I had a brief period of my brother trying to coach me through eating meals and he was always furious with me about it. Your parents did it with love.....

wow. im so so so proud of you!! you have come such a long way. seeing you grow & get happier & better, i suppose, is making me so happy!!! happy 1 year beating anorexia!! YOU GO GIRLLLLL

Congrats on your recovery journey. You've worked so hard and your perseverance is fantastic! Im so glad you've come this far. Keep going 💜

Watching your journey pretty much from when you first started posting videos and hearing you talk about the incredible progress you've made is really giving me motivation to keep making changes in my life that I know will ultimately make me happier. It's hard but it's so worth it in the end. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself with all of us. It has had a huge positive impact on me and I can see that the same is true for so many others ❤

It has been awesome to see your recovery journey. You are so beautiful and inspiring . Congrats to you for pushing forward and fighting for your body and not anorexia.

thank you for being so inspiring :)) we re so proud of you ro!!❤

You have no idea how much hope and courage you give to a lot of us xx ❤️

Ro, I´m so happy for you and all the progress you have made in this year. I still remember when I was in the beggining of recovery and I started watching your vids

Congratulations!! 🥳 Sorry you're down, but you'll get better, you know that. 😉 I hope it happens soon for you! ❤

Congrulations Ro! You are really doing well i think.. I started to watch your videos when i was in my worst anorexia time.. i started my recovery, got out of hospital, went back to my school.. And im happy we both achieved it even if it regret my recovery... im proud of you

You have had the most amazing impact on my life, and I feel like I relate to you so much in many ways, and seeing the way that you have done so well in recovery, and chosen it for yourself gives me hope for my journey.

I am sooo happy and soo lucky to have found you as someone I feel who is an amazing supportive and understanding woman. I won't know how you start but....I truly feel for you when you first began your journey, at least featured on RU-vid, recovering from anorexia. You fought hard and you risk your old life for this new life you knew nothing about...but the outcomes were pretty much everything you have always wanted. I dony want to put words in your mouth or say the wrong things so I'll do my best but a lot of the things you said throughout the whole year here I so can relate and feel like a have more hope that things can change. Their are a few people I found on RU-vid that have made me feel this way and your certainly one of them. You talked about so many things that I felt like I was such a loony about and you shared things that I have used to help me through my hard points..still today...for example I remember when you when to eat out with your family and you ordered the highest calorie on the menu and told yourself, like you do, that if you choose the higher calorie meal and knowing that you did it made you feel like you can have absolutely anything and nothing bad happens and even having it again. Despite all the uncomfortable feeling you sticked with it..whether it was eating out or eating at home. Ooh gosh, my favorites were the talks whilst eating the challenge food or when you didn't feel so good. Your family was so supportive too. You talks were soo lovely and encouraging. Tbh, I never has a saying for me to keep pushing with having to challenge a unhealthy behavior for me but not til the end of 2020 I thought.."the more I eat the better I'll feel" actually was something that push me to keep going...never did I thought it would work...it's not perfect all the time but it's like what you did with the talks to yourself. I had to even say those kinds of this out loud haha...I am a lot stronger and I appreciate that you have been that person to bring hope in me even those tiny moments. However, sry...it's about you. I always believed that you could do this. Its so nice and heart warming that you say that you don't feel scared with food like you did, that you eat when you want and have what you know now like and enjoy and how much.....it's so beautiful. These things is something to strive for...living not surviving...easier said than done but it can and I hope it can happen to me... I am so glad and joyous that you have someone (bf) who appreciates you, and I know they would, that you open your heart to them by letting him do thing for you and gift you with love(loads of stuff..food, hugs, feelings, their ear, their thoughts, suggestions, their story, friendship...). Your such a wonderful, inspiring, wise, intelligent, beautiful, caring, interesting, factual, determined, helpful, creative, funny, friendly woman who deserves nothing but the best. Thank you Ro, happy one year. Sry it was super long. Love you loads. 🖤 🤗 👏💚 💙 🐾 💭🗣️🆓🥊👥😌🥺✨💪🧘🍌🥯🍫🍣🥄☕🏡🎥📱🔁🆓☮️🖕🏞️

Gosh, Ro, thank you so so much for your incredible honesty and openness and vulnerability you are such a strong, intelligent, and courageous shining human being! Your videos have truly inspired me and continue to do so to keep up my recovery and not give in. The future is bright!!! Wishing you love and sending you hugs! Take care :]

I am so proud of you! I am grateful for you, as well. Not only did I follow you on your journey, I joined you in recovery. I struggle and had setbacks, but for the most part I did well. I can eat what I want within my set caloric needs and I can exercise, choosing joyful movement, without overdoing it. I don't always love the way my body looks, but I love what it is capable of doing. I have learned to love myself again, for my good qualities and accept my flaws. The biggest thing I've learned, just like you, is that I'm in competition with nobody.

I’ve really watched you start to glow in the last year! We’re proud of you Ro 🖤

I have been here since your first video and I must say that you helped me soso much with my recovery! And I am so proud of how far you have come

sooooo proud of you!!! you look amazing girl !!

I'm so freaking happy that you stuck to your journey so freaking well. And I really relate to the everyday anxiety after coming off of antidepressants. But it's okay, it's gonna get better, and for myself, I need to understand that it's also okay that I still need them right now. Wishing you all the strength! xo Carina

So proud of you! I’ve been following since almost the beginning and think you’re incredible. 🥰

I'm crying. You can be soooo f**** proud of yourself. 1 year recovery and you do the best you can. And you shine!!!!

I am so happy for you! I smiled for you when you said "eat the cake " because honestly who knows what tomm will bring. I am hoping for you to have a wonderful recovery. Peace and positive vibes to you!

Congratulations on one year!!! What a hugely admirable accomplishment! ❤

thank you for sharing your journey with the world! you are doing so so well and i am so glad you are doing so well!!💛💛💛💛

You may be so proud of you!! It's grand to see your progress !

Ro I can't believe how amazing you look!!!! I'm so endlessly proud of you ❤

I don’t think I’ve ever felt this touched by and proud of a person I don’t know before ❤️ like you saying “I’m not gonna let a donut stand in the way” and suddenly I was weeping because a such nice soul is finally taken care of and it’s a blessing to watch. And even when your videos are focused on food, it just seems like other things also have a place in your mind simultaneously, and I didn’t get that feeling in you earlier videos. I got the impression that 110% of your focus was on the food (in the beginning), while now you describe that it’s just something that you consume and is not up for debate (which should be the case, of course - or of course for me who doesn’t have an eating disorder, but not for everyone). You’re just bossing it, killing it, doing it. Keep going Ro, we’re rooting for you! 💖

Watching these just makes me cry so much I'm so happy for you 😩

So proud of you Ro! 🥰❤️

so proud of you Ro, you're such a big inspiration and you never cease to amaze is with how strong you are

Congratulations Ro! I am so very proud of you!! ❤

So so proud of you! Been watching you since the beginning of your recovery and seeing how far you've come in a year is just amazing. You are ✨GLOWING✨

You repeatedly set the standard for the right way to do things. You’re the only channel I watch that is this compassionate and empathic and TRULY cares about others recovery.

You're awesome. So happy for you and wishing you many blessings! You deserve it.

hey ro! just wanted to say that i’m extremely proud of you even tho i don’t know u. you inspire so many people with your consistency and by showing how difficult it is, but you still keep fighting

so glad and proud of you ro! ♡

You are my role model. Your wonderful words and videos have accompanied me in my recovery since I chose to fight against anorexia. And like you I am doing pretty well. Thank you so much for being my inspiration and for your honest words ❤️

I’m here for you and I believe in you. I’m so proud of you 💕💕💕💕

this is so inspiring, you’re an incredibly inspiring and strong person Ro💕

7:57 this actually helped me so much. I didn't even realise that I was doing this but now I realise that stress is pretty much the only reason I feel tempted to relapse or have bad body image days. Now that I know this, I can do something about it . Thank you Ro :)

Hi Ro, firstly I wanted to tell you that how happy I feel for you. You are very strong and one of the sweetest and beautiful youtubers I’ve ever seen. I also want to thank you for your content because you are one of the people who encouraged me to recover from my eating disorder. Your videos helped me a lot during my recovery journey, thank you for being here and staying as the incredible person you are. Stay safe, have an amazing day💗

Ro you look wonderful, I’m hoping you feel better in yourself soon.🌻🤍

Hey there! I'm from Argentina and I was suffering from Anorexia too. I have been in recovery for 7 months so far and I just wanted to say that your videos inspired me a lot! I started watching your recovery journey before I started my own and it helped me a lot to make the decision of finally start it and getting healthy. I know your struggle and I just wanted you to know that with this videos you're helping a lot of people like me. Thank you so much for doing this

Aw Ro congratulations, you really just feel like a guardian angel or for me, a hug from my old self. Thank you so much for everything and you’re videos are so special. You’re so right about prioritising yourself because that’s 100% the main thing. Love you and appreciate your words so so much xxxx

So proud of you! ❤️❤️❤️

I AM SO FREAKING PROUD OF YOU OMG

Thank you for being such a shining star in an otherwise dark and scary world
