i struggled for seven years and am almost five years in recovery. there are definitely ups and downs with it. i hope you will keep fighting and winning against it.
I am so glad you made this video as a reminder that anorexia is not something to want. I have come across a lot of videos where ppl encourage each other to continue the habit. Thank you for reminding us it truly is a sickness. I am so happy for you!
thats all im going to say is well done for getting back on track , you were so beautiful dont let it happen again , no one is different were all the same , well all humans , well done hun <3
"When I began loosing weight, I had a target. But when I reached it, I made a new one. I still saw fat in the mirror." Omg, this is exactly how I am right now!!
I dont understand this what-so-ever. After picture number 2 of your spine & ribs jutting out of your skin, why wouldn't that be enough to tell you that you're not a healthy weight & why in the world do you feel the need to compare your body to others & obsess about what the scale says or how many calories you're taking in? This is such brainwashing from the media & I don't get it. We're a society filled with intelligent, civil people & common sense is out there so why don't we use what we have?
@jmmlk1987 Think of it like this: it's a habit. Not a chosen habit. But a habit. To a person with the disease anorexia, not eating or over exercising is a habit. To them, when they look in the mirror and see themselves, where we see ribs and a spine jutting from the skin, they see fat. They see someone who is overwieght. It has nothing to do with comparing themself to anyone else. They can be some of the smartest people but in their mind they're just not thin enough.
Oh lord. How could you have thought that was better than fat? I'm sorry but at least fat people are funny. This is just ahhhhhh. Good thing you're back to normal.
<3 Okaii, Akward Question And Not To Sound Mean Or ANYTHING Or 2 Affend Anyone But, When You Have Anorexia, Does it Make Your Bewbs Smaller? :L I Just Wanted 2 Know. xP
@YovilleVideosByKat Haha generally yeah, you lose weight from everywhere but i guess it depends on the person as well. I had to keep buying new clothes as everything got too big, including bras...
dont do thar ever agian please i thught u looked nice in the begginng and then i saw the crazy photos was like wtf is that...that.....was you....im glad u changed and named ur profile bananacake
It must've took a lot of courage to overcome this and share your story. I don't have the slightest idea of how tough it can be to cope with this, but before I move on I just want to say I respect you for winning this battle.
The fashion industry shouldn't let models with a BMI like 16 walk down the runway, to be a supposed 'example' for young women. Me and my 75 kilos would love to show these people that they should look at beauty from a different perspective.
Wow! Thank you for sharing your story! It's incredible that you have come so far. I wish you all the luck in your recovery. Don't fear the anorexia returning. Just always remember your journey and keep moving forward. Ill keep you in my prayers! God bless!
It's time to make anorexia struggle to affect you. Your beautiful. your a woman. that means your capable of doing things no man ever can. take pride in yourself.
@ninajetrox hey bulimia is an eating disorder like anorexia but insead of eating very little food bullimia is different you eat so much food but after you have eaten you vomit all the food back up
heyy im glad ur life is back on track and may u live life to the fullest, did u lose weight becoz ur stopped eating or u did excersising aswell, im really struggling right now i really want to lose weight alot but its not happening i tryed starving but it doesnt last for more than a day plz reply back
@mizz406 I'm really sorry you're struggling, but I'm not willing to give advice or anything on how to be anorexic. It destroys you, physically and mentally, and everyone who cares about you. I hope you understand.
Wow, you have an amazing story. No joke, nearly started crying. :'( Especially at 1:54. But congratulations, this is so inspiring <3 I hope you're even better now!
I'm 15 and I have an eating disorder... I'm bulimic and it's really hard because I see this and see how beautiful you are and It makes me think I can be stronger.
@JJay0090 I did have to concentrate pretty hard to walk, sometimes my legs just gave way. Near the end, i wasn't allowed to walk and had to use a wheelchair.
Congratulations! I see the video was posted in July, so I hope you're even better now. I don't know you or anything about you at the exception of this video but I have to say I admire your courage for posting this. Keep up the fantastic work and I hope you make a full recovery and live a very full life. God bless! xx
The photo at 1:45 made me burst into tears, you're so lucky to be alive and you deserve to live and be happy! Tell yoursef that deserve to be happy every day, it helped me recover. I really hope you're doing well :) <3
We can do together that which we could never do alone. I will always love, love, love you. Will you say this with me every time you feel and need to use the drug of choice. God, please grant me the serenity to except the things I can not change, courage to change the things that I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. I wish you peace and serenity :)
@Noni136631 wow youre REALLY gonna make fun of her? like fucking get a life ):< people like you make this world worse for all of us. every 18 minutes somebody dies from a suicide, every 43 seconds somebody attempts one. YOURE ONE OF THE REASONS THIS HAPPENS. like my brother and sisters always call me ugly and im ready to fucking kill myself.
Wow, You are a great woman. I'm very proud of you. i'm also happy to see that you are healty again.. Ana is such a destructive illnes. So great of you that you told your story. Please stay strong!
I am very glad you're healthy again, even if I do not know you, it is an inner feeling that you feel when you see that other person has improved. You have to remember that if you appreciate yourself you won't have any more problems, thats the key.
no se si me entenderas en español pero tambien te lo dejare en ingles abajo:
no sabes cuanto me alegro de que te hayas mejorado, aunque no te conozca, es una sensacion interior que uno siente. Eres muy guapa, mantente sana y sobre todo, EL AUTOESTIMA TIENE QUE ESTAR SIEMPRE BIEN ALTO, TIENES QUE QUERERTE Y APRECIARTE A TI MISMA, teniendo eso en cuenta no volveras a tener ningun problema.
you're beautiful, stay healty! don't make stupid weight targets they're pointless and take your life, as you just demonstrated. well done for getting back on track <3
My friend is starting anorexia she calls herself fat and she is 92 pounds right now and she started running every day for 2 hours and we never eat lunch at school we just go out to the field and run I don't care cuz I'm average
Ignore the idiots on here who are just trying to push your buttons. They do it because they are assholes who hate themselves, so feel sorry for them. Congrats honey on getting your life back! Stay healthy!
@squanto696969 It may be a cry for something underlying.. but a dumb one? Firstly, there are never any dumb cries for HELP. Secondly, try to understand it before ridiculing it.. try to understand anything before ever judging.
What I learned in health is that you need some fat in your body to stay alive but don't over do it. Im trying to lose weight but not that much but thanks for sharing! very interesting.
you are a very cute looking girl, i really hope the best for you. one of these days i was on my way to work and i read something about a male model dying of anorexia. very sad story
In my recovery from anorexia, I developed habits typical of bulimia (though... in my 3 years as an active anorexic I was not binging/purging.) It was something I was so ashamed of, but I managed to pull out of it and I've actually found that it is quite normal in recovery ...feeling out of control with the forced weight gain, being introduced to new foods (foods that were "off-limits") etc. I am glad things are on a better track. Believe in full recovery for yourself, hun. Keep going <3 :)
@somanystories thank you :) i know just how you feel, the same happened to me and i felt worthless, a failure, i wanted something so much but was going in completely the wrong direction. i hope your recovery is going well :) <3
Thank you for sharing your story. FAR too many people glorify this devastating illness and people need to know the Truth! Anorexia nervosa isn't pretty; it isn't cool; it isn't chic. Be well, precious one. Keep up the good fight! XOXOX
i struggled for seven years and am almost five years in recovery. there are definitely ups and downs with it. i hope you will keep fighting and winning against it.
