@@gaugea it depends. It does work with Cassie because even tho everyone knows she has an eating disorder she said most of the people around her don't really seem to care about her. And it depends on who is the person you're trying to trick, if it is a random person or someone that really cares about you. if you're not known for not eating you can pretty much succeed with this technic but that's different for people that already are known as people who don't eat anything or people that have an eating disorder, this way people pay more attention and is harder to trick.
@@dmarie1902thats literally how I started “intermittent fasting “ and then it turned into only eating one meal and with the workouts literary to lose weight is 20% working out and 80 dieting
I used to do this all the time, until my boyfriend started noticing and said he would only eat if I did. So, a year later, he's now my fiance and I'm a healthy weight !! :) (Update: 5yrs later WE ARE NOW MARRIED Y'ALL 🥰)
@@aliciabea1598 Yes, but I've always been skinny so doing this made it worse. If you're trying to lose weight I'd suggest you do it the healthy way! Controlling your food portions, eating healthy, and working out :)
Ok is it just me or i think that its sad that people won't even notice or care if you don't eat because so many girls don't eat anymore, so people just take it as normal
@@princesscaty6251 I'm sorry you feel that way, and I can relate. I felt the same while I was still growing. It got easier for me as I grew older and learned how to firmly stand up to the part of myself that hated my body. Trying to beat my body into submission with unhealthy diets like your friend worked for a while but resulted in so many other complications. When I finally started treating my body like my child, understanding that it has to be loved and gently coaxed into good habits, understanding that it will take time, I finally started to see the results I wanted. :) so all the best, and I hope things turn out well for you eventually!
Yo all my friends like eat so little, I literally know 2 people that have an eating disorder, one of them is in my acting class and the other used to be my best friend
These comments are painful. LISTEN this scene isn't about wasting food or her accent. If you want to see a video about world poverty and food waste SEARCH IT. This video is about an eating disorder and a very sick girl. This is a beautifully done scene that shows how she gets away with not eating because no one cares enough to notice or do anything about it. Its supposed to show the extent of her sickness. Other people with the disorder may draw parallels from their own habits and help them see how bad its gotten.
bunny I can only sympathize :(( I really hope you get better and seek help, continuing unhealthy eating habits with only damage you in the future, I’m sure you’re aware.... know that you’re beautiful no matter what society says, lots of love 💗
If you want it, never undereat. I was on cut for a long time, now I just can't eat normal amounts of food because my metabolism is really slow, and I'm fighting malnourishment.
Downside is when you lose weight, you can barely get it back up without doubling, tripling your usual food and supplement, hydration intake, etc. you get the deal. Getting really sick and losing weight is the worst, especially when you lack appetite and you’re almost underweight at that point.
Naomi J. No it’s not trust me. Eating healthy isn’t the only thing you have to do. You have to eat the right portions as-well and excersise. That way is the safest way to get skinnier! Also if you are already skinny don’t try to become underweight.
I really don’t like this comment section cus people seem to be encouraging eating disorders when we really shouldn’t and this should be an example of the harms of them
@@lanaaladhami1438 I just saw a comment saying that their parents would notice, and multiple people told them to just “throw up afterwards” as if they were giving them a helpful tip and not encouraging an extremely serious and harmful eating disorder that could have dangerous lasting effects on their bodies, minds, and overall health. 💀💀💀
@@ellietaieb764 Please don’t stop eating. Your body is doing it’s best to keep you healthy. It deserves to be nourished. You deserve to be nourished. Thin doesn’t always mean healthy or better.
That is honestly wonderful, it means she cares for you. Too many mum's now allow their daughters to starve themselves, it's truly horrible. But at least there are still a few that care enough to pay attention to what their children are consuming, and not consuming.
Not really. At one time it was a fairly common parenting practice to insist that kids "cleaned their plate" regardless of whether they hated one or more foods.
There's this one girl in my class I've never seen eating before. Every time its lunchtime, she'd grab a bag of chips and some salad and juice. She'd open the bag of chips to pretend as she ate it so that no one suspects her but I know exactly what she's doing. She'd also do the same to the juice. She always gives her food to someone else. Then she'll go to the restroom and come back with red eyes. I knew something was wrong with her...
Well I mean one of the major signs of someone having an Ed is them giving their food to someone else or cooking for everyone else. It’s not always the case but it’s quite common. I do hope this girl is okay though. If you can try talking to her (not about the food but just in general) then I think that would help, basically what I mean is either become friends with her or keep an eye on her to see if it get’s worse
@@yangoiting of course she’s popular. everyone who is popular has some kind of disability, usually adhd, rarely autism, or most commonly, anorexia. definitely has to begin with a.
.....this is depressing Edit: this got recommended to me again, 2 years later after I posted this comment. I watched this at a time where I was struggling with body image. Last year I developed binge eating and I am now slowly getting better. Eating disorders are fucking horrible, it's like you just can't control it. If you are struggling too, I wish you the best, PLEASE get help, you deserve to love yourself and you're beautiful and worth it in every aspect of the words.
Like Lemon said, get professional help, you’ll feel much better that way. When you’re thinking the way she is, you’re not thinking right, and being malnourished only furthers the damage because without proper nutrition your body and brain don’t work like they should
My mom noticed but she didn't believe it. My parents are Indian growing up she never heard anything of that. She was concerned but didn't question it? idk
Sometimes diet/food restriction culture actually makes me feel guilty for eating normally. I'll be out with a friend who is thinner than me and doesn't eat much and then I'll order food and eat the lot while she pokes hers with a fork and doesn't eat much of it. Then people will be like 'oh nell was hungry then' and then I'll feel like I'm the fat friend at the table.
That sucks. All my close friends except me have ED (from anorexia to binging) and most of the time when I am eating, like a normal person, they will comment on something. They also call people fat, glamorize being slender when we are watching TV and forth. I love them, but it is so damn exhausting..
@@muienanet4818 sorry for the week late reply. One of them in particular says stuff like "I bet you're going to eat that whole thing" when I buy a loaf of bread or something. And i know shes projecting because she has issues but its sooo uncalled for. Its like she's just stepping on my confidence and squishing after its still recovering from the last time she did it. Its painful lol. When I get to go out with a friend who is a fellow foodie its such a relief. We go and get food, eat until we are stuffed and its just wayy better than having to restrict my eating when I'm around my other friends. Another thing that gets to me is the constant bragging that they fit in a size 4(uk xxs) etc like man come on.
@@nellwillis3716 No problem, and yeah, I can feel that. I just hope people notice one day that the normalization of starvation for losing weight, restrictive diets, etc. are the worst path we can go. ED's, especially anorexia and bulimia, are socially induced mental issues. We need to start taking action or we will eventually be in a society that more people have ED's than the ones that do not have them.
Not really, I’ve done it for years. I’m not encouraging the behavior, and tbh, I hate how much I related to the video, but honestly? It’s a lot easier than the clip makes it out to be.
@@sof7068 it depends how much attention your parents give to you when you're eating, if my parents wouldnt know about my eating habits it will be way easier
The sad thing is this actually works. I’ve done it at family meals and at skl where we literally had teachers sit at the tables with us cos a different teacher would come to the boarding house and sit with different year groups everyday for lunch and this works in front of every teacher who sat in front of me, i mean no one noticed.
People commenting saying ‘nah i could never cause my mom would notice’ don’t realize how lucky they are. I’ve had an eating disorder that started in gr3 and I’m now 25 and even after I’ve told my mom and sister, they still barely notice when my weight goes up and down 20pounds and I’m screaming for help.
You can tell someone who knows about this stuff that you need help. But u can't say that we are lucky, i have parents that force me to eat and i die inside. I wish they wouldn't notice, i don't feel like eating and it's horrible when someone forces you to eat.
being forced to eat isn’t any better at all. it makes me gain weight like crazy, gives me binge eating disorder ( which i’ve had for about four years now ), and it’s only encouraging me to throw up my food. being forced to eat sucks and it doesn’t make us lucky. most of the time parents only care about “not wasting food,” so it’s not even always about parents wanting us to be well-nourished.
I get what you’re trying to say in the beginning but sadly forcing us to eat big amount of foods when im not even hungry makes me feel excessively guilty to the point i workout for hours just to try and burn the calories off, it used to upset me so much that I couldn’t throw up because I had the phobia of vomit. I would slowly lose the weight and this made me so disappointed in myself to a point i became severely depressed so no, there’s all types of negative outcomes to every situation both the ones u think is good and positive.
For years, I've screamed for help, both literally and silently. I've had crippling depression and still have anxiety. I'm labelled a bratty, ungrateful, irresponsible daughter for not being perfect and asking for a little help. Even though I've recovered so much, I still feel like dying at times.
to all the ppl struggling with body image & disordered thinking in the comments- pls do not go down this path. pls pls pls. do not romanticize or glamorize eating disorders. if you think "oh well I know when to stop. I wont let this take over." you're wrong. it will consume you. Ed's arent all sunshine and rainbows and pictures of pretty, skinny girls. Ed's are standing up and almost passing out. they are feeling so *weak* and *tired* and *hungry* and *cold* all the time. they are sacrificing every hobby, every relationship, every bit of your identity that isnt your weight. they are counting every goddamn calorie and constantly checking yourself in the mirror. and it will *never* be enough. 10lbs will not be enough. 20lbs will not be enough. you'll hit your goal weight and then set a new one bc *its never good enough* . not to mention, you'll eventually gain *all* that weight back, *plus* more, bc of how slow your metabolism is. either that, or it will kill you. maybe not in a year, maybe not in 5, but it will. not to mention all the health complications if you do recover. it will fuck over your entire body and entire mind. it is a miserable way to live and a miserable way to die. *do not do it.* for gods sake, dont sacrifice your entire life for some stupid ass beauty standard that treats our bodies like trends. if you really want to lose weight, do it in a healthy way. workout, cut down on junk food, drink more water. most importantly, work on self love, no matter what weight you are. you are so much more than your body. pls believe that. you deserve to eat. you deserve to be happy and healthy and confident. you deserve to live❤
This is so true. I suffered with an eating disorder and it was literal hell on Earth. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy and to see people in these comments promoting eds... It makes me so sick. Stop glamorizing it !! While people praised my body when I had an ed my mind was fucked over. I was suicidal, I hated everyone, and I was always tired. I wanted to kill myself, and I almost did. EDs are no joke and it hurts seeing people treat it this way
I love skins sm, cassie was the first person that i learned about ED when it came out and some people may disagree but im glad they added her, it taught me so much
This is exactly what my mom has been doing since I was in elementary school and it's extremely irritating. I don't eat until she eats which usually helps but it's tiring
@@tatianabaudean1633 How rude of you. You don't know if this person has an ED or if they suffer from body insecurities or even body dysmorphia. You shouldn't assume what someone is struggling with.
Tatiana Baudean Oh hell no, you’re the worst fucking person to be around I don’t even know you but I HATE you and people with your mindset this comment is the only comment that’s ever made me this angry
@Tatiana Baudean you kind of did assume that this person doesn’t have an eating disorder. you called their comment “disrespectful not only towards people who are battling an eating disorder, but also to the ones who have lost their lives because of it” which would imply that the commenter didn’t have an eating disorder, but was wishing for one (and I’m going to note here, that this person could have body image issues, people picking on them because of image, actually have an eating disorder, or be taking medication that gets rid of their appetite). You went on to ask the commenter “would you look into an anorexic on the brink of death’s eyes and go ‘oMg My PaReNtS dOnT lEt Me gEt Up UnTiL mY pLaTe Is EmPtY’ ???” Which is ridiculous to say to somebody who may be dealing with something like an eating disorder, because first of all, most and hopefully all anorexics would never want another person to go through and ED. Second of all, this person might already be skipping breakfast and lunch high would mean that dinner is probably not exactly *fun*.
@Tatiana Baudean also even if this comment makes EDs look “desirable”, it’s also a concerning comment and should be replied to with something more along the lines of “I understand how that feels (only if you actually understand). It really sucks to feel that way, but you can’t hide this. if you constantly skip meals then you will end up malnourished and possibly in the hospital if it gets really serious. Please talk to somebody who can help you out. “ this may not be the complete best response, but full on shaming is definitely not the move.
Lately ppl are encouraging eds and I’m relapsing just a while after I got discharged from my Ed clinic 💀 I feel like my life is going to be tough since I’m so easily influenced
Hey ! how is it going ? You should maybe change your FYP by looking at positive and supportive paged or just quit social media for a while to avoid triggers ;)
Last year I overheard this girl at lunch saying she only ate a small meal for dinner and no other food besides that. It actually made me question if I eat too much so I started skipping breakfast and only eating an apple for lunch, then going to work out for 2 hours at the gym after school, causing me to get really dizzy and have bad headaches. When I would get in the car my dad would ask me if I was alright and I told him I was fine. I kept doing the same thing for a few weeks until one day when I told him that I just ate an apple for lunch everyday. He told me that I can ask him anytime for lunch money when I need it but I told him it wasn’t about the money I just wasn’t very hungry. I was average weight for my age but for some reason when I would take a shower or look in the mirror, I felt ‘fat’ And you know, I still think the same thing today. The only thing that has changed from then to now is that now I eat more than an apple everyday now and I’m proud of myself for at least doing that.
You could really mess with ur metabolism as well as growth, if u starve urself at a young age. Depending on how young you are you’ll lose and gain weight naturally due to puberty. But overall your mind tricks you into thinking your weight matters to those around you, like you’re some elephant taking up space in a room of mice, and the only remedy is to eat like how You think mice would eat. Well as long as you’re not obese, it really does not matter to anyone. Just eat healthy and portion your junk food. It’s honestly better to give your body the energy it desires, and not all calories or bad lol, not all food gives u like instant fat. Theres worse things happening in life than you being 10 lbs overweight, and you start to feel stupid eventually that you let something like that stress you.
i remember watching this for the first time in 5th or 6th grade. i related to her so much. now, i've been recovered for a while with a baby on the way and a husband who's very supportive. life does get better!
fact: cassie (hannah murray) actually had ED irl so she playrd an character which technically has the same disorder. she gained weight now and is healty, searh hannah murray skins interview to see :)
i cant believe people WANT and ed.... you can’t want one because if you’re trying to be skinny by WANTING an ed it’ll never happen. you’re gonna get skinny but then not be happy. then you’re going to recover from it (hopefully) then you’re either going to be happy that you’re better or sadder that you’re not skinny
I think wanting an ED is just a sign of people denying there restrictive habits. I want an ED because I don’t think my situation is extreme enough. Which is a self fulfilling prophecy.
Wanting an ed is halfway there. No one healthy (mind and body) wants an ed only some of the people who have a predisposition to eating disorder and harmful behavior when it comes to food.
Alright, look. I’m going to be honest: when you work real hard at this, as if it’s some kind of hobby you’re picking up, it’s amazing. The weight flies off and you feel this sick sense of pride. I felt great at the time. Flash forward to adulthood and I’m laying here, stuck in bed (again), just wishing I could participate in my own life. I long so badly to experience real joy again, not the joy I thought I would get out of being small. I know that sometimes it’s easy to idolize things like this. I’m sure nobody asked for this lecture, but please just try to be open to the message. I’m here because I was desperately searching for videos on how to get quick nutrition to try to make it to something very, very important to me in the next two days. It’s not going to happen. This popped up in the suggestions and I couldn’t help but revisit this little scene that I once found inspiration in. It should devastate you, not motivate you. The comments are so unnerving that I just wanted to weigh in, even if I’m screaming into the void. Please just keep yourself safe. This only leads to a lifetime of emotional agony and physical torture. Speaking to a younger version of myself that I see in some of in the comments: I need you to choose yourself. Life is always going to be full of miserable periods. There’s nothing you can do to change that. But you know what it’s also full of? Beautiful, magical, breathtaking moments where you learn about why you’re here and what you’re made of. Those moments are worth it, I promise. But you have to choose to love yourself enough to let yourself live them. If you don’t, they’re gone forever. And to end on a blunt but very real note, some of you will die doing this. I’m sorry that you couldn’t get the help you needed. You deserved so much more.
This is a great statement. I've been 'better' for about 8 years yet I still hate feeling full. I've gained some weight recently and I feel like a failure. It's from medication because I'm working on myself but it's just there in my mind always. A few years ago a mom was shaming her very young daughter behind me in a food line, she actually said "don't you want to be pretty and thin like that lady" she meant me. I almost turned around and told her what I used to do to myself and how I haven't forgotten or forgiven my parents for acting like this. And I went no contact a long time ago. Sorry for trauma dumping I'm under alot of stress and it's been 4 days. Going to force myself to eat today
As you go into adulthood, you don’t have to bother with any of this. You can just say, “I’m too busy,” or “I ate in the car,” or “I totally forgot to eat,” or “The kids ate all the snacks, I need groceries,” or, “I’m too tired,” or “I’m going to have coffee first.” Then get busy doing something (a favor for them, dishes, running an errand, whatever) and you’re untouchable. Nobody really thinks twice, as long as you’re smiling and loading everyone else’s plates.
This is why im excited to be an adult and live alone, if you live alone no one can ask "have you eaten yet" "you barely touched ur food" "you have to eat something"
@@bellavelasquez2433 My point is, it’s a bear trap for recovery, concealing and speeding up the dying process that is anorexia. Adults are seldom diagnosed. Get help now before your heart and nervous system fall into collapse. Rocking that zero size is a lot less fun and sexy when you’re disabled.
@@bellavelasquez2433 nothing to be afraid of bro. and i know that mindset is hard to change but for me once i could hear my own heartbeat slowing down and pounding in my ears and my skin was dry as fuck and i began to not be able to swallow food without stomach ache, i started to panic and gradually started eating normally again. I really hope you break out of this soon because it will ruin your life, or make you hate yourself, hopefuly not a lot. Youre not dumb and you know how to care for yourself. I believe in you
@@cloudsoflilac9731 thank you for that, really im trying my best but things are still scary for me, im glad things are better for u and u seem like a very sweet person and i appreciate you taking the time to leave that comment❤
I didn’t weight myself for a long time and when my mom got me a scale I was totally shocked because of the number. Then I used to starve myself until I lost 10 lbs. I used to go to bed early so I can’t eat anymore and my stomach hurt so much. The thing is before I got the scale I was fine with my body but the number hit. Now I know that this isn’t the best way and it’s not a permanent method, eat healthy and don’t overeat and exercise if you can 💜
For the last year I've been stuck in a binge purge cycle. If you include myself using exercising to purge its been over 4. However, in the last 2 weeks I've kicked vomiting and been using the gym. Thanksgiving rolls around. I lost all my progress. I just hate feeling this stuffed. I just eat like its an addiction. Its all I think about. Its like one part of me is set determinedly on losing weight and the other is just this mindless all consuming creature with teeth. I know once I go back to college and hit the gym again ill be fine. I know I'll have a gym membership for December so the holidays won't be as bad this year either. But I'm watching this video and mentally taking notes, preparing myself for times when I must eat around family or with other people at a time when I don't want to eat. Food is a social interaction. When you get an ED you lose people. You lose yourself too. You isolate yourself because food truly is a social ritual that triggers other social rituals. They build on top of one another and when you cut off food, one day you find that the you curled up in the corner of your mind is now the you on the outside, curled up in the corner of your room. I'm trying to get better. I truly hope that I won't ever feel like I need to use this. For the people just arriving, thinking you can control this? You goddamn can't. You think you'll do it once? Maybe you won't again for 2 weeks. Then you'll try again and again, lying to yourself and thinking you know what you're doing--that you can stop at any time. You can't. Not by yourself. You get sicker and sicker unless you reach out and even then its a long journey. Don't go down it. The best decisions are the ones that don't have immediate rewards. If you want to lose weight, work for it. Go to the gym. Eat healthy. Be around people who want to improve themselves so that they can be happier and stronger, not just to impress others. The people I wanted to impress are gone now. What I did pushed them away or made me realize they were toxic. Find people who want you to flourish. Please. If that doesn't change your mind then know that I'm very close to developing an ulcer after just one year. Eating is painful and yet I continue to do it. My stomach fills with acid and air, burning my esophagus and my intestines. I lay on the floor in pain for hours. I go to bed wishing I could never eat again, not because i want to lose weight but because it hurts. Its agony. My teeth, which used to be one of my favorite things about me, are going. Its been less than one year of this disease and all its done is making everything nightmarish. Please don't go down this path. For those of you already on it with me? I wish you the best of luck. There is happiness coming soon. It lies in our choices. Choices become habits and habits become life styles. Its hard. So fucking hard. Just know that things do add up. Make enough good choices and we'll make it out. Best of luck, all.
I start crying watching this again, I was in a dark place back then, and I am thankful and I wish I would never be there again. I’m still struggling sometimes but not as when I did back then
I've never struggled with disordered eating or my weight, which I'm very grateful for, but even small comments still hurt. My friend had taken a bit more than half a plate of food and said "god i took *so much* food, I'm so hungry" while i went up and grabbed two more plates. It still feels bad, even though i don't struggle the same way as many others do
idk if it’s just me but when i’ve been restricting for awhile i get rly rly hungry and so i start smelling junk food, watching mukbangs, and ‘what i eat in a day videos’ and then i give in and eat a shit ton of food and in the moment it feels so nice and i’m so happy and then once i’m finished i’ve realized what i did and then i know that it was not worth it to eat.
I am so so so grateful for this helpful video. I had to attend a dinner with family members whose idea of food safety is that it doesn't matter. I had to watch one relative (who is being treated for clostridium difficile) slice meat and lick their fingers, placing the meat on a tray to serve others. I knew things would be bad like they've always been, but this year i needed a way to eat NOTHING and still seem "normal." Thanks to this video I had only water for Christmas dinner and nothing else. No one even noticed! I did the food cutting thing, cutting into in normal size pieces, the extra talking, the giving of food off my plate to someone else, all of it! Worked so well! I had zero appetite after all the different unsanitary behaviors of the cooks in the family. And please note, everyone present knew about the c. diff. infected person and watched everything happening and didn't care one bit, even though they all are beginning to be experiencing symptoms as well. I came home to wash all my clothes, clean off the spores, and to just forget about eating anything for a long time. All I can do is pray I dont get it, but with the help from this video at least I avoided one transmission form. Thank you, thank you!!
Ice Qu wow your story is insane! Well at least you used it for a really good reason and not like most of the comments who just want an eating disorder. Hope you are still healthy
@@Panther888 Thanks el gordo. Yup. I didn't catch anything. For Christmas I gave each of the three families books on food safety at home, complete with highlighted paragraphs and my own personal notes to them. At first they were confused, then they started looking at the books and saying, "Oh yeah. Good to know!" So maybe things will be better next visit.
@@Hannah-no8yh Clostridium difficile: A nasty germ that can cause big problems such as severe diarrhea and dehydration, colitis, and long term health issues. It is highly contagious and requires specific protocols for treatment and safeguards against transmission.
I did this too my friend noticed eventually and now he’s like a dad to me now and he makes sure I eat and I’m gonna miss him when he goes to college he’s helped me through a lot
I swear to god I should really get off these types of videos... I just wanted to learn more about people who struggle with anorexia. The next second I was reading a comment of someone who was telling you how to throw up your food and that it’s good for you... I hope those with eating disorders really get help, even if it’s really hard to break through the blindness an eating disorder puts you through.
As someone who might possibly have anorexia (I’m not sure but I used to have binge eating disorder for sure and now I have a fear of eating at all) and I can go a LONG time without eating, it scares me how easy it honestly is to get away with it. I haven’t ate lunch in front of my friends like AT ALL not even like pretending to just straight up nothing in front of me sitting and waiting for lunch to end. All I’ve heard a couple of times was “hey are you going to have lunch?” And I always just answer “no I am still really full from breakfast 😅” and literally nothing else was questioned from all the times I didn’t eat. It’s not like I want the attention and concern no not at all it’s just like- how? How do you not see? I mean I’m glad they don’t but it just shows how careless we are to the people around us and to obvious signs such as literally not eating many times during times meant for eating. My mom notices my eating problems and she asks me to eat more but it’s literally so easy to get away with a “oh ye I ate some of the cottage cheese in the fridge while you were gone” and then nothing else is questioned. It frustrates me that people don’t care to pay more attention it honestly does…
literally! if she starts counting stuff, dirty platea and all that you can just go, make something and throw it away on the bathroom, small pieces ofc. Or give it to some stray dog/cat (if you don't have any) or give it to the homeless. People saying that "they would notice" they really don't know how to hide stuff. it's easy.
@@nixiestick4123 u don’t need a diagnosis, if u have specific disordered habits you’re still valid! I know how hard it can be, don’t trigger yourself by watching stuff like this,u got this. Sending you positivity and love
