This was super engaging ! I can't believe those people didn't realize that would hurt your feelings. Anyways, I'm really glad you have a really healthy mindset now, and that you made this video. :)
Commented, rated and subscribed. :) You are absolutely amazing. This is only the second video I have watched from you, and I can't get over how positive and lovely you are. :)
This is a really helpful vidd. a few of my friends are anorexic and it scares me cuz i know what might happen to them. I was that way also when i was little. i never ate at all and i actually had to be hospitalized because i got really sick during that time period. after my mom met my step dad i had realized i ate a lot more and i did nothing to stop it. Today i am healthy, but sometimes i think i am fat and i hate the way i look. ~April Snyder~
wow! this is so sad to hear about gen :( i'm so sorry this happened to you! i've gone through similar things but not as drastic and i was more binge/purge type it sucked. i'm so glad you're better now. it's horrible how the things people say can greatly effect you. i was bullied and had many comments said about my weight etc. and i still sometimes have issues eating in public :( it's hard.
You really inspired me. I've never watched your vids before, but I saw this in my feed and had to watch it because I'm going through this. I'm getting better, but I can't get rid of the awful thoughts that constantly go through my head. I'm trying to eat but I always feel so terrible. I don't think people raelize how hard it is to get out. When you're going through it, it's almost like you're in a cage. I just want to be normal. Anyway, thanks for making this <3 xo, Iona
@lunez420 you really need to stop being closed minded...i never had an eating disorder and i truly do not understand it but have some compassion for people...you do not have to understand it but acting like you know everything that goes into this disorder is truly pathetic...clearly you have some mental problems since you think you know everything and are so much smarter then everyone...look in the mirror get off of your pedestal and grow up
@elamboy512 i dont have compassion for people who are destroying themselves on purpose. i do not know everything but i do know a lot. clearly these little girls are the ones with the mental problem starving themselves. now, like i said, it sucks for all these annorexic people, but how about they look in the mirror, get off their pedestal, and grow the fuck up and eat and stop destroying themselves. we were all made to LIVE.
You're such a strong girl for putting something so personal on here hun, even though there are ignorant people with negative words. Eating disorders are very common in woman these days & alot of people just blow it off & pretend it doesn't exist. It's hard to find yourself beautiful with our society, I even have days where i look at myself & think.... ugh... lol & i'm a woman who looove how woman looked in the 50's. It's funny because Marilyn Manroe would be 'over weight' maybe even 'obese' x
ok so i could never watch a 15min video i would just get so bord but with this video i could and i was not half way asleep i was entertained and so inspierd by what she said she is amazing
What an inspiration to all of those going through this right now. My sister is anorexic and is 21 years old and refuses help, she said she'd rather die. Im 14 years old and i wsh i could help her but she wont listen to anyone.
Even though i am not going through anorexica this has REALLY inspired me to help her out the best way that i possibly can.
You are deffiinietly someone who i can look up to for help (:Thanks for sharing this as hard as it was you are really brave and strong
Hey girl. you are really brave to post personal stuff about this topic. I think your amazing. be strong. you are beautifal. also people need to stop staying stuff about her anorexia. it's not her fault she has it. she is beautifal the way she is . Because God made her. I love you .gorgeous. I watched the whole video. :)) hope that made you smile,
wow i went through something sort of like this...i would constantly look at my stomach in the mirror to see if i looked skinny. I had people tell me that i had "big hips" and i looked big...i hated hearing that so i went on a crazy diet and i'm finally back to normal. I'm really proud that you had the courage to make this video and it really has helped me to realize to love the way we look and let no one tell you that you are fat. We are all made differently and we ARE BEAUTIFUL.
Wow! You are such an inspiration to everyone! You are so beautiful and strong! I am also a beauty guru and have been debating on making a video about my cutting. I lost my dad two years ago and started to self harm and I have worked with myself to become happy and healthy again. I was so worried if I made a video I would be judged but you have Inspiron
This video is very inspiring and I hope it helps out everyone who watches it weither they have an eating problem or not. This is the first video I've seen of yours and you seem like a very genuine person. Im definately subscribing and please dont stop making videos. :) Its nice to see a really inspiring, genuine person on youtube that wants to help out other young ppl, rather then the fake ppl who are in it for perks, etc. Your very beautiful by the way :).
This was so touching. I actually started to tear up. I have never struggled with anorexia. But I do struggle with weight, I am 5'3 and (ugh I can't believe I'm admitting this) 160 lbs. And actually today is day 2 of me fasting. After watching this, I've decided screw the fast, I'm going to eat something. But of course, it's going to be something healthy. So glad to hear you recovered. And thanks for sharing your story! :)
I don't get hungry at all, i WANT to eat but im just not hungry and i cant eat the whole plate im 13 and im 5'2 i want to grow more too. i dont think im aneorexic but im skinny and i want to get a bigger appetite and grow more. please help me.. :)
@missmagicaladventure i really dont give a shit since i dont know any of you people...all im sayin is how the hell is it that fucking hard to eat food? its mind over matter really...you CAN control it. people just choose not to because they think they can't..and then persuade themselves that they can't. and if they choose to not eat and not live a normal healthy life thats completely their fault when they get sick as shit and die from not eating. its common fucking sense.
@lunez420 Hmm, so since anorexia is a psychological disorder, you're saying people with depression and anxiety disorders and schizophrenia and all the other's with disorders can CONTROL how their brain works? Lots of anorexics can't help it nor can they control it and many of them aren't doing it for attention as you so stated in another comment. It's hard for anorexics to eat because their stomach shrinks after not eating for even a week, so it hurts to eat.
sorry it had to be ur video hun, but you were born to love yourself no matter what and its just unfortunate you didnt realize you're living for urself and not other people. props for getting over it. im just saying. its so annoying. and half of these little girls dont eat because they want any form of attention.
@lunez420 HEY. You have no right to speak to her that way. I didn't know I had disordered eating for YEARS. I only realized when my friends pointed out that I never ate anything with them anymore. So you, here's a big fuck you. It's very difficult and there's a reason that its very serious for girls.
@mjouravleva HEY. i have all the rights in the world to do whatever the fuck i want. i dont really give a shit if you're starving yourself or if you're overweight....i'm voicing my opinion and i dont give a fuck who hears it. okay? okay!
wow, this really relates to what I'm going through. especially when you said about the getting mad when people would tell you things and you would respond by saying "I'm just being healthy", the mirror thing, and so many other things...the other day i was finally forced to go to a doctor that specializes in eating disorders which scared me a lot, so now I'm determined to eat more and get better! thank you so much for this video x
this made me think.. i'm 14 and your story is like me looking in the mirror. i wouldn't say i'm anorexic, but i skip breakfast, often lunch, and most days only eat dinner, having just an apple or smoothie during the day to keep me going so i don't feel faint or sick. i'm 100 pounds and 5'2 but don't feel happy with myself. when i see my reflection i notice the flaws and never positives. but thank you for this, it inspired me to try and change, and i'm happy you were able to overcome anorexia<3
So much respect for you, because I completely understand and relate to your story. Thank you for posting this video. You're an incredible, beautiful person. Wish I had as much strength as you.
This made me sad because of how close we were just before you said all of this started, and that we didn't stay close and I couldn't have helped you through it or anything. :( <3
I'm happy you're better. It's hard. When I was about 15, it got to the point where my body stopped having a period because it couldn't afford to lose the nutrients anymore, my boyfriend would cry hoping to get me to eat, and I would consider dry spaghetti noodles to be sufficient. I still find it hard to get past it.
thanks for sharing my dear! so glad you're better now! I understand what it feels like when you have comments constantly thrown at you that way.. People don't realize how much their small comments can effect others.
This was super engaging ! I can't believe those people didn't realize that would hurt your feelings. Anyways, I'm really glad you have a really healthy mindset now, and that you made this video. :)
