In one of your first videos you say that you want to be able to show people what life after anorexia is like and you have made it to that stage. You are amazing 🙌😍
Ikr! It’s incredible because I don’t normally see people do many videos like it and it’s definitely inspiring for me. Also, I think we have the same name lol!
I never usually comment but I just felt I needed to say how proud I am of you ro, you can see the genuine happiness in your eyes and I know it hasn’t been easy for you to get to where you are now but it brings me hope to see that I too can be happy again after years of struggling. Thank you for being such a light to this world and sharing your journey with us, you inspire so many people 🤍
I've been in recovery for about 8 months now.. I unfortunately had to be hospitalised this summer because of how severe my anorexia was.. I started following your videos roughly a month after you started posting your recovery vlogs and you inspired me to keep on trying to recover myself.. you've helped me a lot and watching your videos helped me not feel alone.. So proud of you and all your hard work and I can say I'm so proud of myself to be where I am now. Thankyou for being you 💓
you're actually the channel who introduced me to loop earplugs and they help a lot with noise sensitivity :)) I have clear ones so you can't really see them at school which is great :D although the model I have makes it hard to hear some people talking which i think is just my ears not the product. but I'm so thankful I saw it on your christmas list ideas video!! thank you ro
I really needed what u said at the beginning, about how I may need to eat more than you and that's fine. I have a really bad relationship with food and I'm trying to recover but I always compare what I eat to everyone else and feel like everyone eats less than me and I'm not normal with how often/much I eat. So thx for adding that at the beginning bc "what I eat in a day" vids usually stress me out/make me sad but not this one bc I'm me and you're you! 😄
Am eating fries ; chicken stuffed croissants with an unholy side of pickles lol Recently found your Chanel and it's slowly becoming a comfort one 🤍 your vibe is calm yet entertaining and i wish you all the best
Yeh this is true. The more you weigh, the more you need to eat to maintain that weight. What was once a surplus just becomes maintenance. When you are in a body that you obtained via restriction, the easier it is to gain weight in it bc it takes less to maintain it basically. But also stressing about eating at perfect maintenance is just building up another fear. Just trust your body will be where it needs to be if you listen to it and respect it.
Dude you are cracking up btw the chocolate pastry mess the ceral dust spilled pickle juice and now the dropped mayo spoon! Its like a Best Of Bloopers compilation! Please do a video like that! Its fun!
This is a bit weird but thank you for showing putting a whole avocado in your meal. I have a weird struggle with not being able to eat more than one half a day because I never see people doing it.
5:21 if you have small ear canals loop will just as uncomfortable as normal in ear headphones. I really liked them but they were to uncomfortable for me. They have a good return policy though
I'm not anorexic, but watching your first videos made me question my own internal voice and the way I talked to myself... you helped me with a domino effect of looking at things differently, and for the better! I just wanted to say thank you, and I'm so happy for your continued success, you are an inspiration and it's beautiful to see. ❤️
i could actually shed a tear for how grateful i am for you Ro- you have done so well and you truly inspired me to keep fighting- thank you for being you, always xoxo
I'm recovered but some days I just feel like I'm eating way too much but you remind me it's okay to honor your hunger and your cravings every single day
@@danaekoloka9819 awww thanks lovely. I had anorexia in my teens and i'm nearly 37 now. It's like it's ingrained in my brain. We keep going though don't we and that is what makes us amazing xx
@Sarah Gearon agreed! my mum is anorexic and so I learned to think like she does but I'm breaking the cycle, started my recovery September 2021 when I was 18. We are damn strong 💪
I went out to eat at a restaurant today just to find out they put calories on the menu.. my brain started to spiral for a second and look for the lowest calorie option but I stopped and realised I wouldn't be happy so I chose what I wanted and it was amazing. Even though I feel a little bad my joy defo outweighs it. I wouldn't have been able to do it without ur vids Ro
Calories on menus are the worst! And then I feel so guilty afterwards, but Ro is definitely helping. For some reason I've been obsessed with the amount of food I've been eating. :(
This might sound weird but I love how normal your bites are. I always feel massively guilty about not having tiny bites like I used to. Like I see people who still take tiny bites even when they claim to he “recovered.” Even when it’s a food they love they just nibble it and it’s always hard for me…so thank you 🙏❤🥰
not weird, i used to struggle with it too! try and focus on how people you know around you (who don’t have an ED) take bites - because i’m sure they don’t nibble at it. big bites are normal, promise 🤍✨
I ate a dinner that my mum made and portioned for me for the first time in my recovery! I’m fighting to avoid another admission and it’s been really hard but your videos really help distract me afterwards and give me hope that despite everything, there is light at the end
I have been watching your videos for a while now and I just want to say that you are such an inspiration and have helped me so much in my recovery journey ❤ I just wanted to say thank you ❤
I hope you don't take offense to my comment, here, I just wanted to mention that whenever you are including food clips in your vid's you point out guilt related to eating. Which I think is ironic, because you mention quite a lot that food = freedom, and doesn't need to be associated with whether you deserve it, its just fuel. So I'm wondering if you really are as free with your own food choices as you present on youtube? Tbh, you appear as though you are tentative about eating, to a certain extent, because what I see is how careful you are about bite sizes. It is somewhat difficult to watch how you eat, as it seems it is calculated, that you are working hard to Appear relaxed (?) Again, this is only how I perceive you, maybe I'm off, but this is the vibe I pick up when I tune into your channel.
Your editing skills are really beautiful, honestly you should consider making films or something. You have a really beautiful way of capturing the magic and sweetness of even small moments on camera. It makes me want to savor the little moments and details of my own life more. It's just...wholesome. Not a lot of things on the internet feel that way.
Noooo I literally just bought Loop earbuds yesterday 😭 what a coincidence. Also thank you for your videos. I’ve been in anorexia recovery for awhile too but I do not have this level of food freedom. I think I speak for many when I say that seeing you be so genuinely free compared to where you were gives me so much hope and strength. Thank you ❤
without ro i don’t think i would have been able to start my recovery journey 6 months ago, i appreciate everything she does so so much, i still have bad days but watching these videos always makes me feel better
after 6 long months, i just started my journey in anorexia recovery last week, and your videos and advice have helped me so so much! i was having a really hard day today, but these videos aid me in pushing myself to challenge food rules and fight back against the voice. i went and got myself a easter brownie that i have been eyeing for days but been too scared to have, and ate it with this video :) recovery is the most difficult thing ive had to challenge, but it is already so worth it only a few days in
I’ve been here since the beginning of your journey and I’m just blown away by your growth. I’ve been in recovery for a few months now and I’m finally getting to a place of freedom and I never thought I’d find it. You’ve been really inspiring along the way. So proud of you and happy for you. ❤
I had a really bad day within my ed recovery today, so thank you for encouraging me to do better tomorrow. I'm currently on break so it's much easier for me to restrict and do unhealthy behaviour; i'd managed so far to do decently. But you've helped me so much to try and move towards a full recovery rather than a partial recovery.
seeing you have this food freedom and such a different outlook on food is just so amazing to see and is so inspirational! I can't wait to get to that stage in my recovery x so proud of how far you've come.
This video is actually so helpful! It's nice to see a what I eat in a day vid where not everything is "perfect" and that when things regarding food don't go according to plan, you can just adapt and get on with your day. Thank you!
Hey Ro - I have found so much inspiration, hope and support from your videos and the stories that you have so kindly shared! I am 37 and have now lived with anorexia in my life for 20 years and it is so hard to keep pushing with my recovery. So discovering your channel and finding strength from your journey has come as such a welcome, needed and inspirational surprise. I have already made tangible changes to my life as a result and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for that! ❤
I recently relapsed into ana after christmas holidays and wasnt feeling at all well, but I discovered your channel and your videos have been very motivating to me lately to restart my recovery journey. You're amazing, thank you for your videos :)
Hi Ro 💗 I just wanted to say thank you for all that you do for so many people lives , I have suffered from body dysmorphia and an eating disorder throughout much of my teen life , I am now in my early 20s and in recovery thanks to the help of my amazing family and partner and I just wanted to say that I'm so proud of you and you're one of my favourite influencers, love ya xx
Hi Ro! I know you probably won't see this, but I just wanted to share something I hope will make you happy. I started watching you a year ago this month when I was in an eating disorder inpatient unit, and found your story and outlook so inspiring. I had been battling my eating disorder for 5 years at that point (well I say battling, more like adopting). And right this moment, I am having a flash back to that time as I am sitting down, eating a dinner which I would have quite often there, but not because of anything bad, instead because I WANTED it and am not afraid to have it. Even though I would have it on a weight gain plan, I'm not fussed about having it anymore, and am partaking in so many things with this meal I used to fear (eating at a non-specific time, having white potato and ice cream - though not together as a disclaimer, and choosing to have this when I am on my own without any pressure from anyone else to do so ). A year later, I am back at Uni after being physically unable to go before, happier, and healthier, and I know I would not have been able to have my mindset change anywhere near as well as it has when watching your videos. So thank you so much for helping me recover, what you do really does make a difference to people's lives, in the best way possible. Xx
Your parents must be sooooooooo damn proud of you! I’ve followed you since your first video and I am so damn proud of you!! You are such a beautiful person inside and out💕. Do you and Brendan live with your parents or his? Or just the 2 of you?
I've been watching your videos since the start, when I was struggling with anorexia b/p & wasn't ready to recover yet, but your videos were still comforting & a contrast to my thoughts. With my recovery having been very all over the place (different approaches & medications, moving, academic stress, relapses, swapping one ED for another) I sometimes feel like giving up, but your videos give me so much hope. Despite already having weight restored, I'm considering temporarily withdrawing from my course in order to return to treatment & fully commit to OSFED recovery. You always inspire me to prioritise recovery & make it seem less scary.
Your videos are always on time for when I need a little help not stressing out so much about food. Today was one of those days and you really made me feel better~ Thanks, Ro ❤
For snack rn I'm having almond butter, banana, hemp seeds, and cinnamon on homemade wheat bread paired with a new vanilla almond tea I bought yesterday :) Love the new video, so happy for you with how far you've come in your journey!
You have inspired me to pay attention to self care today. Thank You. I also especially appreciate the little mess ups and mistakes because they are just real life and normal for everyone!
Dear Ro :o) I`ve never written a comment before, but I`ve been following your yourney right from the beginning and I wanna let you know it`s such a beautiful thing to see you glow up
Happy Belated Birthday!! 🎂🥳🎈💝 I've watched your journey from the beginning and I am so proud of you and happy for you that you took your life back. It seems impossible and scary but seeing that it truly can be done and to have you there to answer questions or just to be real while explaining the good days as well as the shitty days makes recovery seem so much more attainable. I'm still in the fight with mine and going on 28 years of this battle, I get tired and frustrated much easier, but I love that I can watch your videos and see that I can be more then someone who is just existing. As always, I love your videos and think you are amazing!
Thank you so so much for this great video. Love you so much, Ro, and am grateful for your continued posts. And I LOVE what you shared at the end about how what you eat now isn't much different than when you were eating to restore your weight. I worry about that still because I have such a big appetite and know I'll want to eat very similar to what I'm doing now in active weight restoration. So thank you again for sharing that! I'm pressing on and you continue to show me it's sooooo worth it!!!
ro thank you. you have helped me so much ❤️. your videos are so amazing and inspiring. ive been following your journey since the beginning, and I am so proud of you. you make me smile. you are SO gorgeos omg 🤭🤭. ilysm
I have been binging all your videos! I’m a dancer and struggle with the things you did! ❤ you have helped me with just the week I have been subscribed to you!! Also I’m snacking on a cut up apple with some cinnamon on top but I have been challenging peanut butter lately and have loved apples with peanut butter! ❤️❤️❤️
Working my way backwards on your videos. Finished the one you put out today while prepping my lunch and now I'm watching this video and eating my bowl of chili and salad😊
i’m having a 1 rice cake with peanut butter and banana and another rice cake with almond butter and strawberries. i hope everyone is doing well today❤️
Jesus loves you even tho we all deserve hell because of our sins Jesus took the punishment for us and died for us so we can have a relationship with him and have chance to go to heaven “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalms 34:18
This is late but I started watching your vids while I eat again because I started to relapse. Eating with you helps me a ton because you’re not judgy of food or people at all and it’s really comforting. And, as you asked, as a snack I’m having slices of a mini baguette and watching you eat cereal made me crave it so I’m gonna go make myself a bowl of cereal!
YES: 'Falling down the stairs anxiety' I thought I was the only one! Literally, for as long as i can remember, I've had intrusive visions of me tripping over my own feet & tumbling down the stairs. I believed this was a premonition that this is my destined fate (😬🙄!!!). Other than that....obviously, THANK YOU SO much for another fab video and share! TBH, i have some reservations about 'what I eat in a day videos' , but this was genuinely helpful, not triggering and it's just Wonderful to be 'in' your beautiful company for a bit. Plus, I see it helps many others, so that's fantastic! Xxxxx
Day 1 of recovery today and I just wanted to thank you for helping me here. I just had my first big meal and I'm really scared right now but I know it will be ok. Thank you so much for your positivity and willingness to speak about things so sensitive. 💙
cereal is definitely not a weird snack! I know so many people who have it and it was definitely a common choice when I was inpatient! One of my fave snacks now is muesli and soy yog with half a nakd bar or homemade energy ball type thing chopped on top; I also frequently have a wrap rolled around a whole banana as a snack!
i feel like the main obstacle in way of recovering is the feeling that i haven't suffered enough. I've been struggling with ed for over a year now which is horrible in reality but to my mind that's not enough.
