[leah0427]

Thanks.....Im off to eat a bowl of cereal! You broke my fast! thank you

[nippoessa]

I can't live without you Anorexia ! ♥ I can't live with you Anorexia ...

[AnaGirlEmpath]

This video warmed my heart today. I will be sharing your video with my beloved brothers and sisters who are walking a similar Journey. THANK YOU! Years later, your words hold so much Love, Light, Wisdom, Truth and HOPE! I hope you are well, precious one!

Much love...

[vicky12727]

wow... thank you so much!

this actually made me cry :(

[ShadowsDizzazter]

Thank you for this video... It really did help me some. I have been struggling with Bulimia, and Anorexia... mostly bulimia though. And to top that off, I used to cut myself. I am trying to get passed my eating disorder, and my self harming to live life to the fullest. No guy, or person is worth this pain you put on your body.

[mexicanmayhem07]

I might not be a size 0 but I met someone who thinks I'm beautiful anyways in fact he doesn't want me to be that thin (he says it would be like being with a guy)

[hjkfhs]

how can i contact you?

[Manganese5]

Thank You.

You make me cry :-(. I've been searching the internet for a long time looking for ways to get better.

All I come across is pro-ana websites that make me feel even worse about myself because I'm not as thin and never have been as thin as them.

I really want to get better now.

[missgracegallagher]

You've just put into words something I've been trying to explain to people for the last few weeks. I've been recovering from anorexia for nearly 8 months and just recently I've started to really appreciate the little things so much. I know this is an old video but it was kind of like you were reading my thoughts and then managed to arrange them into the perfect explanation of how I feel. Thank you, I hope you're still well xxx

[Gizzew]

bad influences suck, like the media giving the impression to everyone that fashion = skinny, then we people take it so far to where we could blend into the crowd of sick and starving people in africa

thanks

[firefly1297]

I don;t know what else to say other than thank you. I listen to you speak about life after ED, and it sounds wonderful. I hope that i could someday have the strenth you do. I have been bulimic/anorexic now for 6 years, and i'm 18. I looke at my life, and i don't know where it went. Listening to you makes me realize i could find my life again, so thanks.

[donnamarie21uk]

this is so true , ur words are so great , totally understand every thing uv said .

its awful illness i suffer it too and day to day i hate how i am . :( .

xx

[india24s]

This video you have made really is true. I struggled with anorexia for 7 months & I have to say, it was the most horrible experience I have had for the nearly 15 years I have been alive, & probably will be for the rest of my life. I remember the day when I decided I would eat more calories & from then onwards I have slowly gained everything back in my life, and so much more confidence in myself. It really is extraordinary, how much alive I feel once food is introduced more into my life.

[molliecellon]

oh wow, this made me smile.

you truly are inspirational, and I know that you hear that A LOT, but it's the truth :)

thank you for giving people that watch your videos hope that things can get better, regardless which illness they struggle with.

xoxo.

[KirstenWoodman]

Wow.. This is so inspirational.. I've suffered with EDNOS and I can really relate to this :)

[RichardKruspeLover]

i do like food alot, i am quite thin, but i excersize, even the walk up to school everyday is helpin me stay thin, but i LOVE my food :D

[MidnightMassacre00]

YOUR BEAUTIFUL XOXO

[pisceschic32]

I don't have an eating disorder, I am actually doing some research for a school project about eating disorders, i ran across this video. Many years ago I battled with a drug and alcohol addiction. You are truly inspirational, I think the message in your video can apply to many people with disorders and addictions. Stay strong and be blessed.

[joanifur]

saying yes to food, is saying yes to FATTY!

[iloveyoshi0xo]

what if you don't care if you live of die? I really feel like giving up and I don't care anymore.

[1BILLYBONDAGE]

This was so amazing. You are so amazing.

[honeythewitch]

This is Steven McLachlan's new single "winner takes it all" with all profit for the eating disorder charity, "BEAT" on channel: stevenmclachlan .

[ripkurtc]

i watch a lot of videos, including yours and i rarely comment. This movie made me cry because i've had disordered eating my whole life, and no matter how i'm eating, i can never enjoy anything. i feel like i'm so damaged or defective that i can never be happy or normal, no matter how good my life is going or how my day is, i can't fully enjoy it, i always feel bad. Only if i'm high in some way whether it's from starving, overexercising, drinking, taking drugs or cutting myself i feel numb peace.

[crazyman4985]

I have an anxiety dissorder and although i do not have anorexia... I can relate... .Everything I do is to neutralize anxiety... and I am never in the moment to enjoy it.

[bre08]

I've been watching all of your videos, i like them. really inspiritional.

[stfuashley]

I'm so glad you lived through anorexia to make these videos. You're such an inpiration.

[acidraynxburnsx]

[Andie7984]

[oddzilla]

you really should be getting paid for this.. this is a great public service you are doing.

[enchantingcavy]

WOW that was probably your more amazing video yet...

Well it hit home for me anyhow so well said and really gets you thinking when you're stuck between choosing which way is more important to go...

[BethMarg]

You're a neat person kat.

[eniwekwe]

*hugs* glad to hear that hun.

[LittleLissette]

For the longest time I thought there was something terribly wrong with me because I started losing my memories of my childhood and teenage years. To think food played a part in that just astounds me. (So scary!) Now that you mention little things, I admit I am waiting for a traumatic event to occur in my life (hit by a car or something) to bring about an epiphany and renewed energy for life. But why wait, right? Why not change now?

[LittleLissette]

Well, the desire for life/recovery urges you forward to make certain decisions--getting help for instance, but for many out there they need a lot more than simple desire/willpower/change of attitude or outlook on life. Nevertheless, you make very good points and I'm not one to understimate the power of determination. Now I'll be looking out for the little things in my own life. Thank you, Kat!

[Annieh1315]

You are right when you say that there will be no big epiphany to lead to recovery for most. It does come from the little things, but it also comes from within. You have to make up your mind that you are worth change and rechannel the focus to recovery instead of disease. It's a journey, but a self-directed one.

[eniwekwe]

for sure....thats very wise.

[Snowwhite04]

we all sometimes forget the wonderful things in our lifes that make us happy...and thats very sad..

[eniwekwe]

yes thats so true. but the great thing about being human is that its okay to mke mistakes....but we can always remember those good things again....when the time is right.

[guidingstar87]

anotherinspiration hun!

[eniwekwe]

*hugs* thanks.

[Ontus]

well said, you an inspiration to all of us!

[eniwekwe]

thanks so much *hugs*

[theblond1422]

i have a question. if its a mental desises aswell and phiscall how are you just suppose to stop and eat and gett better. no offence you make it sound like its soo soo sooo easy to do it.

[eniwekwe]

i never said it was easy....but it is simple. sometimes the simplest things are the hardest things to do.

[aaannarose]

Another excellent inspirational vid. I know that all my friends I have referred to your blog are benefiting from it. Thank you soooo much for helping those I care about!

[eniwekwe]

wow...awesome to hear that. thank you for helping spread my message!!

[BrokenLoose]

very well said :)

[eniwekwe]

thanks! :o)

[goldenhourglass]

great video like lolitadoll said it's spot on...I've been in recovery a while now, your video just made me reflect on how life is so much more vivid, just so much MORE than it used to be than when I was starving.  How can you enjoy anything when your own body is not even nourished enough to do it's job?

[eniwekwe]

exactly! glad you see that! *hugs*

[BeeBoo311]

What a wonderful, uplifting message. I think most of this message streches beyond the scope anorexia to the struggles with all mental disorders. You have such a positive spirit and it radiates through your voice and your videos. Thank you for another wonderful video.

[eniwekwe]

youre so kind, thank you so much!

[FalseImpulse]

Hey hun, I tried to post you a comment here before, but my comment was too long for the comment box. However, I left you a comment in on your profile's comment section. I wanted to come give you some hugs here, though, and let you know that you've made some very good points. *hugs* Take care.<3

[eniwekwe]

*hugsback* thanks!

[lolitadollxx]

awesome video...absolutely spot on and I totally related to everything you said. And your jumper is really cute! X

[eniwekwe]

awesome, thank you!!

[dragonkaty]

this was your video that moved me the most. i miss the beautiful little things that gave me so much pleasure.

[eniwekwe]

*hugs* they can give you pleasure again.

[LongForgotten]
