[LinzyBeckham]

it's really helpful to see people who have recovered. It gives me hope, and it gets rid of the lonely feeling I get when I feel like no one will understand wut I'm going thru, thank you for the vid =)

This is so tough and u guys are amazing! I've had an ed for 11 years and it's soo hard

I was sent to ER, as well as psychiatrist hospitals lots of times, until I recovered my weight. Because I was "fat" again (or thats what I thought I looked like), I developed bulimia. Gosh; that was horrible. It was even worst than anorexia because I didnt feel in control of what I ate. I just binge and binge all day, and then purge it all. It was my everyday life. Thanks God, I got help, and Im back to 112 pounds, and my binges/purges have stopped. Im eating well and playing soccer

One of my close friends has just told me she has an eating disorder. I knew something was wrong, but i thought it'd be best to give her space, until she really wanted to tell me what the problem was. Now she has, and i don't really kw what to say or do to help?

I can listen to anything she has to say, and she has the help of her counsollar and family, but it's tough.

[xcherryvanillax]

i think that even just listening to her is very important..because we often have nobody to talk to.

and don't tell her that she's perfect like that,and that she should eat. those things are just useless and annoying.

you should tell her to go see a doctor/psychologist instead,those people are the only ones that can help her to get better.

this video is awesome. It is so hard trying to recover, seeing these girls who have done it and seeing them laugh and be happy is so inspiring that i can have a life after this. thanks a lot for the video.

[anamia1986]

I want to get better but where I live there are not any places except for the hospital and they dont except my insurance. So I fugure its my problem and I need to fix it. Its hard especially by yourself where you have no one to help you. But congradualtions to those girls and keep up the good work

[mixona2002]

This video is VERY help to those who suffer an eating disorder. It's good to see that others have beat this disease, and continue to do so.

This film was shortlisted for a first light movie award.

Orlando Bloom called it "informative and arresting"

[niji103]

Wow!

[MrsBear297]

Hey, Sam and Charlotte are my two wonderful beautiful nieces and we are all so so proud of them. Well done Sam. We love you. Good luck to all the other girls and continue the good work BEAT!

[missdisorientated]

I can't help but feel a bit frustrated when I watch this video...

It's not a dislike of the video itself, I just guess in all honesty, I'm jealous of these young girls whom have managed to overcome their eating disorders. I've been trying to fight mine for almost 9 years...

[HopewellEDSCO]

Don't give up!! I've known women that have recovered from an eating disorder after struggling for longer than you - and I work in an eating disorder support centre, so I see it all the time. The time will come when you'll be able to look back...

[misstiggykins]

I agree with HopewellEDSCO; I had severe anorexia nervosa for 28 years, but eventually recovered both weight and mind (although recovery of weight was easier than recovery of mind). Recovery is extremely difficult, but you need to have faith that there's life after anorexia, and that you can cope without it. I found life post-anorexia and would never want to go back to my life as an anorexic. Take care..
