A few years ago i struggled with eating id eat everything i could then id go throw up, id starve myself eat half a cup of green beans because it was only 60 cals....i felt like i needed control, i thought i was ugly and fat thought the reason my parents would fight was because of me . I never thought i had an eating disorder because i never looked anorexic. Looking back i did have one i was like that off and on for three years switching between starving and throwing up to just stuffing my face!
@stiches5538 Hopefully you realized how hurtful this disease is. Britt not only suffered physically, she suffered mentally. This disease takes FULL control of your every thought so much that you forget what life is truly about. It is the social media, like TV and magazines that make us believe that we need to be thin to be beautiful. Brittany has not watched television for about five years. Brittany realized what she has done to her body, she is scarred for life.
@mariq99 yes, why are you saying this to me? i already know what it does you shared with us, i shared with you? i know EXACTLY what it does iv been through it.
@TheKillerInMyHead Well she has recovered from anorexia and has no problems with her weight. It took a very long time and her desire to be happy with who she was. Britt has done really good with the surgeries. She still needs a right hip replacement. Unfortunately she is sick again and she can never have kids. She has so many regrets with Anorexia and Bullimia. She hopes to someday help others.
How did her surgies go? Did she recover from Anorexia? I would be PISSED if had surgery on my colon and was in a wheelchair! I am 14.5 years old and had anorexia since right before I was 13. I am doing "okay" now though :) i am currently keeping 90 lbs at at little over 5'3. I know it's low but I refuse to gain anymore and as long as I don't loose anymore weight I can stay their. I lost alot of my friends cause of my anorexia too! Encluding my brother.. He thinks I should eat a damn sandwich an
The girl you just called fat..She's on diet pills. The girl you just called ugly.She spends hours putting makeup on hoping people will like her. The boy you just tripped...He is abused enough at home. See that man with the ugly scars.. He fought for his country. The 14 year old girl with a kid, that you just called a slut she got raped That guy you just made fun of for crying.His mother is dying. Put this as you're status if you're against bullying 95% of people wont repost this on a vid
this is a real inspiration to me although my case is defferent i struggle with self harm i find this girl very strong i hope she is doing well and btw how old is she now
how could she be with no friends anymore ?? she looks like a beautiful, friendly girl and if they left her they weren't real friends anyway ! You're a friend when you stick to the end no matter what
@utubeisawesome1026 I really think that though you might be scared it is important to maybe, just talk to someone about it. This disease grows if you allow it too. It gets to a point that is almost impossible to turn back without help.
As much as you hate to see anyone die Britt is fortunate to be in the US. In many parts of the world starvation which is what anorexia ultimately becomes is common place and death from it an every day occurrence. Fortunately for Britt she was able to get medical help numerous times but for many future suffers of anorexia that will end. At some point in this country medical help will be rationed to those most in need. Elderly, the obese, anorexic, orthopedic, cancer victims will suffer.
Shes very lucky to have gotten treatment, not all people are that fortunate because of how expensive it is and how little insurance usually will help out
Every girl is beautiful just the way they are. Being skinny or fat doesnt define how beautiful you are. Only YOU can define that. I wish all the woman and girls in the world can see just how beautiful they are.
Yes, it was so sad that not one of her friends was there to support her. Realistically, the only person she had was me. To this date not one of her friends have spoken to her. It is really, really sad. But Britt says something like this shows who your realy friends are.
Anorexia Nervosa, is a life style. A life choice. For some people, recovery is their answer. And I'm proud of them, but with me, I look in the mirror and cry. Not one time do I pass a mirror and not. I chose to be this way. I'd rather be beautiful than alive.
omg:( this is such a sad story:(. i really hope she found hope n on the road to recovery. shes beautiful, n all my prayers go out to you n ur family. <3
i recovered on my own with no medical attention wat so ever my lowest weight was 98 lbs then recovered and got up to 128 and now ive relapsed and am at 122 and still shrinking.....im so scared.....and alone ive lost all of my friends and my mom said u chose to be anorexic so u can be anorexic but im not spendin my hard earned money on a worthless piece of crap she told me this yesterday
@riplilkevin1 I am sorry to hear that you do not have the support from your mother. Having an eating disorder is totally a mental disorder. Having an eating disorder is not a choice, but to continue with the behaviors is. Once you start it basically takes over your every thought and becuase of lack of food may make it mentally difficult to think. You have to make a decision to recover and write in a journal your every thought and argument to why you will or will not continue. Mariq99@aol.com
@mariq99 for me its no longer a choice to continue...its either continue or stay up every night incapable of sleeping rockin in a lazy boy chair tellin urself its ok udid the right thing refusing to go on like that but havin another voice say u will always be a piece of garbage cuz ur a quitter and u r worthless and fat nd thts y all ur friends left u..bcuz thy knew u were losin weight so u didnt have 2b fat 1 no more thy got mad so thylft do ukno wat its lyk 2 feel ugly all the time? i kno i do
@mariq99 for me its no longer a choice to continue...its either continue or stay up every night incapable of sleeping rockin in a lazy boy chair tellin myself its ok udid the right thing refusing to go on like that but havin another voice say u will always be a piece of garbage cuz ur a quitter and u r worthless and fat nd thts y all ur friends left u..bcuz thy knew u were losin weight so u didnt have 2b fat 1 no more thy got mad so thylft do ukno wat its lyk 2 feel ugly all the time? i kno i do
@riplilkevin1 I know exactly what that is like. I can tell you Britt use to tell me the same thing, it was hard and it has taken her being on medication to recover. Britt says that ED is a liar, and he did not hing for her except give her pain, u are not alone, most people with an ED go through exactly the same thing. FIrst do what ever it takes not to listen to the voice, drown it with music or write ur thoughts in a journal. Britt has not watch TV in years, she also does not read magazines
@riplilkevin1 FIrst how old are you? This is the same cycle, ur life will change dramatically if you do not seek help, read everything you can on recovery, books at the library, online. Write ur thoughts down, stay away from things that set ur ED thoughts off. Keep ur mind as busy as you can, the voice will not be so loud and you will be able to think. Also you need to love urself, i kno its hards, but if u continue, u will be in living hell. It is important to listed to experience.
have you ever heard of pretty thin,? its a support site for people who struggle with anorexia. i am on it and it has helped me a ton. sometimes its what i need to help me get through the day..
@MarijuanaMichelle y did u fukin bother to watch this wen u feel that way? god idc if ur dyin of cancer ur the selfish vain person this girl did not choose to feel she wasnt good enough she didnt choose to have anorexia its not a choice or a lifestyle u need to just stop trolling!!!
I wish Brittany all the best with her recovery. I'm in recovery myself. It's a tough battle, but each day we go through alive is a great day! It warms my heart to see the bond you mother and daughter have. I've never been that close to my mom where I could share my pain with her. It's a precious bond. Keep fighting the good fight!
You know Taylor, it was an unbelievable struggle but Brittany is recovering. She will tell you in a minute that it is an endless struggle but she can do it. The after effects mentally are almost as bad as the physical effects. This disease is not worth even looking into. Britt was a smart, beautiful little girl, now she is lonely and has very few friends. It is a lifelong disease that is truly horrible.
@iBrittaaaany The most important thing for you to remember is that once you develop an eating disorder, a certain amount of weight is never enough. Your mind will eventually be so deprived of nutrition that the voice in your head will take over and it will kill you. Learn to love yourself and develop a healthy way of excercising. IF it is really bad then you have to ask your parents for help. You are only 12 and your body is still developing, trust me, my poor little girl will never be the same.
This video really scares me... its what im doing to myself... and when i hear my heart beat funny etc it really freaks me out... Im not even underweight but i've mucked my body up so much these last few years... If i eat too much I am ill for over 24hours because my stomach cant digest it... now thats scary. Please dont do this to yourself anyone else out there... really it isant worth your friends, your family and in the end your life....
people who says; "Anorexia made me happy" doesn't have anorexia, or they're lying. I would rather have BED again than being anorexic once again after my 2'nd relapse. It's like you're living while you're dead. You wanna die, and you wanna live. You wanna be healthy while you're sick.... I hope she's doing well, she's very beautiful!
DId it help? Myproanaworld? It comes from within, then you decide, because ulitimately you have to ask yourself, Why? and for who? Has ana truly made you happy? Or are you consumed with her every minute of the day. Britt used to ask me "mom, remind me why I want recovery" I answer "Britt, so you can seet the sun, and smell the flowers" Stop and think, when is the last time you did that.
wow i had no idea it could lead to this kind of situation.. This video sure did help me stop and think and Im sorry about Brit. Tell her to not give up!!
This video is the beginning of a living hell for Brittany. The eating disorder brings only death and destruction. Trust me when I say the the eating disorder is a lie.
It is heartbreaking to see a mum put this video up. And I am glad you did. There is so much more to EDs that damage the body beyond weight and numbers. I wish you both love and hope that you can both get through this. Britt needs to be 100% well before she can help anybody else. Life beyond EDs can be so wonderful. It's hard to believe, but beyond the focus and depression that keeps you in this hell, there is so much beauty. Especially in the miracle of being a mother. Hugs! x
I'd like to compliment you on your optimism and obvious love for your daughter. I've struggled with bulimia and anorexia and eating disorder thoughts for several years now and my parents have never been there for me through it. Britt is lucky to have a truly caring mother...I wish her luck in her journey to recovery.
i sumtimes kook at my self like i need to lose waite....but seeing ur video makes me change my mind to ever go down that path .....thanxs u saved me from thinking to go down the wrong path
I've struggled with this disease for a long time. But personally, I'd be so upset if my mother made a video of my struggle and put it on the internet for everyone to see. Just think about how it would feel to have your struggle publicized by someone you care about.
Brittany is so actively involved in helping others to recover from this disease. I can't even imagine a better inspiration than someone who has actually struggled and survived. Can you? Would you even begin to listen to someone who hasnt been through what you have been through? Britt has saved many girls with this video. Where would you begin or do you care?
@mariq99 - I think Britt is a complete inspiration and brave to put her story out there in order to help others. Hopefully one day I will get there too, one step at a time for me though, I still struggle with my reflection in the mirror never mind putting a video of me on the net for the whole world to see.
Praise to Britt though for being so courageous and for giving us hope. I wish her all the luck in the world for the future.
@tla86 TLA you are absolutely right. Putting this out was very difficult but if it can change one girls mind about starting with ED then it is worth it. The hell of this disease has only begun. Unless you have the proper tools to fight back you will be doing this for the rest of your life. Britt is recovering from the physical part, but still suffers from the mental and emotional part. Just know that you are not alone and there are people out here who truly care!
@sixxmany - Every person is different though, maybe her Britt gave her consent for this video in the hope that it will help others. I personally wouldn't want to expose my biggest weakness to the world but if I thought it might save even one other person from the prison of anorexia I would put my story out there too.
I hope that your getting better and hopefully one day won't have to struggle with this awful illness. Best of luck.
I hope all who watch this video realize that this disease not only can kill you it can destroy your life. Do not dabble with ED he is only out to do one thing. Take you to hell!
Your daughter, despite all of what she has gone through, is a very brave and courageous woman. Thank you for sharing her story with us - and yours. Seeing videos like this help a lot of us, not to get "better" in the sense of losing more weight, but to get healthier - better. Happier. I hope that you, and your daughter, find more happiness.
This is a really touching story and it definitely helps to reinforce the terror of anorexia. You have so much courage to post this. I wish all the best to you and your daughter xoxo
Ohh my gosh. I find myself saying this is horable and that it will never happen to me. But then I think about how she wasnt thinking about the affects of ana and that she like me "didnt think it would happen to her." My heart litterly goes out to her. I also am stuggleing with this awful disease. You dont know how hard it is, you may think that we're getting better, but you cant gain weight or that much weight before it scares you again. I truely hope she gets better. Good luck!
anorexia is a disease. It's have nothin to do with attention. until you experince it first hand and you suffer from it, then i suggest you keep yr mouth shut. you have no idea what these people go through
You are obviously watching these videos about anorexia for a reason. My suggestion is to get help for your obsession. An eating disorder is a disease and has absolutely nothing with getting attention. Before you post anything on my daughters video, get educated on Anorexia and Bullimia. She didn't make or post this video, I her mother did.
Dancer, the best thig you can do is get better so you don't go through what Britt has gone through. She chose to recover but now does not have ONE friend, not even one. But she is alive and can move on with her life.
@DancerWithTheBadKnee are you a dancer too then? i know how you feel.. i'm worried i dont want to be anorexic or stop eating but sometimes...it's hard when i'm dancing and everyone else is so much thinner then me.. i want to look like them. i want to be beautiful. but i do need to remember that i am beautfiful and can be a beautiful dancer. keep trying hun and remember that you're beautiful :)
@Alexandria278 I am a dancer... and I really thank you for your kind words. :)
It's hard... and I did better for a while, and then the stupidest thing happened. All I needed was to change places at the barre. That's all it took for my self-esteem to go tumbling down, and my ED to take hold again... But I'm still struggling.
Please help yourself and be kind to your body... you're beautiful. :)
@DancerWithTheBadKnee thank you :) and so are you. be good to yourself. I know it's hard. but i know you can do it. I'll be praying for you and for all of you who are struggling. you are beautiful. and i know how hard it is to see that sometimes. but only you can change the way you think. nothing i say will change that. look in the mirror, and try to see how beautiful YOU are. not how u look compaired to anyone else. love u all!
The only reason girls like that get offended is because a) they don't want people to know about it too much, to keep hidding it. b)Anorexia begins to define who you are once it consumes you. Setting a stereotype insults them. c) It's simply furstrating to hear about it in a negative way, due to having it, feeling like there's a lack of control, the subject is best not be brought up, in their eyes.
I've been suffering from Anorexia for over 3 and 1/2 years.
I still get very upset when people speak to me about it, as much as I know it's not good. Thank you for setting awareness. I would never wish this on anyone.
is not like I try to be a complete jerk when i talk about it to people. it worries me to see healthy girls starting to look sick and weak because (i guess) they think that being skinny will make people like them more. what's inside it's more important.. if our society knew that then anorexia wouldn't affect that many people worldwide. and, if some1 talks to you about it (not in a jerk way making stereotypes) that's probably cause they care about you, like it or not, that's the truth, they care.
I know this is 2 months old, but I need to comment.
"Being skinny" is a veryveryveryveryVERY small part of being eating disordered. It's a common misconception that Anorexics/Bulimics/Other eating disordered people do it to lose weight. It MAY start that way (that was not how mine started, though), but it never ends up being about the food. It's about the control. It's not simple in any sort of way. And a lot of people assume they know all about it.
I feel so sad to hear about her condition and her struggles but yet at the same time I am sooo jealous of her one pic where she is so beautifully skinny...i hate having ana but i cant get away from the mirror, internet, and scale....huh.....:(
The disease was caused by the lack of blood flow to the bones. I hope that you make the choice to recover from the deciept the ED brings. Just tell yourself why you want recovery, Britt use to say she wanted to smell the flower again, she wanted to feel the rain on her face, you can't do those things when ed occupies your every thought. Also, if you believe in GOD pray and rebuke all the eating disorder thoughts. This is what has helped Britt recover.
I cried when I saw this. I have eating disorders as well. I have had this since I was 15 and I'm 22 now. I will say a special prayer for your daughter and for you. God bless you for sticking by her side. Thanks for posting and stay strong.
she is such a pretty girl, no one deserves this, hope she gets better, and tell her that if she ever needs some one to talk to I am here to chat. im 14/f/
Oh yeah... anorexia cause really bad things... I've got exactly the same... im fighting with my ED since I was 10(I'm 18 now) When I was 15 I had my first hip surgery... I spent a year on wheelchair. Now Im waiting for next operation(8th) but im walking and even running... Hope is the only thing that we can have... Good luck!!
I broke down into tears when I saw this. I've been suffering from Anorexia/Bulimia for close to 11 years and I'm only 17. It breaks my heart to know she is going through this, and I really hope she pulls through. She is already so strong to go through what she has already. You are an incredible woman, best friend and mother to stick by her like you have. She's extremely lucky to have you at her side. Best of luck to you both <3
Thank you so much. I just hope to help others prevent this from happening to them. I don't want anyone to go through what we all have been through. Thanks!
Hi, I hope and pray your Britt will get better soon. I struggled with anorexia the entire time I was in middle school (*I actually made a video on it too) and was told at one point I'd have a week to live tops. But i pulled through. its been so so hard at times but i still have hope. I have been recovered for 2 solid years now. i only wish that for your daughter too!<333
p.s. You are an amazing person to take this crazy ride with her. God bless the both of you !
Thank you for the words of encouragement. I too hope that she recovers and is able to say that she has two years under her belt. I will pray for you as well. Thanks for your kind words.
I hear you! Unfortunetly it has made it all the more difficult for her since she has no one to talk to. I am her best friend, yet her worst enemy and I can only do so much.
All my hopes that she regains her health in 2009. I also went to RR, and thought it was amazing, I have relapsed. I pray that Brittany will be able to pull through and realise that this is not the life she wants to "live."
I really hope she conquers this..its hard i know...
I've been anorexic and bulimic for 6/5 years now...but im slowly getting there...the last part of this video said that she had hope...
thats the main things she needs i honestly think in my poinion that as long as hse doesn't lose hope and faith her chances of relapsing agian are slim...best of luck Britt
thank you for the words of encouragement. I too hope you continue to recover. The damage that Britt has done to her body is irreversible, but she still has her life.
anorexia is such a horrible disease, it takes so so much from those who suffer and causes pain, and pain to those around us. im so sorry that britt is going through this, she is really beautiful,i hope her opperations go ok and that she stays on the path to recovery.
How is britt doing now ? I hope gud u shuld make a vid of her recovery

@riplilkevin1 I am sorry to hear that you do not have the support from your mother. Having an eating disorder is totally a mental disorder. Having an eating disorder is not a choice, but to continue with the behaviors is. Once you start it basically takes over your every thought and becuase of lack of food may make it mentally difficult to think.

@riplilkevin1 I know exactly what that is like. I can tell you Britt use to tell me the same thing, it was hard and it has taken her being on medication to recover. Britt says that ED is a liar, and he did not hing for her except give her pain, u are not alone, most people with an ED go through exactly the same thing. FIrst do what ever it takes not to listen to the voice, drown it with music or write ur thoughts in a journal. Britt has not watch TV in years, she also does not read magazines
mariq99 11 months ago
@riplilkevin1 FIrst how old are you? This is the same cycle, ur life will change dramatically if you do not seek help, read everything you can on recovery, books at the library, online. Write ur thoughts down, stay away from things that set ur ED thoughts off. Keep ur mind as busy as you can, the voice will not be so loud and you will be able to think. Also you need to love urself, i kno its hards, but if u continue, u will be in living hell. It is important to listed to experience.

You know Taylor, it was an unbelievable struggle but Brittany is recovering. She will tell you in a minute that it is an endless struggle but she can do it. The after effects mentally are almost as bad as the physical effects. This disease is not worth even looking into. Britt was a smart, beautiful little girl, now she is lonely and has very few friends. It is a lifelong disease that is truly horrible.

iBrittaaaany 1 year ago
@iBrittaaaany The most important thing for you to remember is that once you develop an eating disorder, a certain amount of weight is never enough. Your mind will eventually be so deprived of nutrition that the voice in your head will take over and it will kill you. Learn to love yourself and develop a healthy way of excercising. IF it is really bad then you have to ask your parents for help. You are only 12 and your body is still developing, trust me, my poor little girl will never be the same.

@MarijuanaMichelle Obviously your clueless. Anorexia/bullimia is a disease a mental disease. And if
you were truly in stage three cancer you wouldn't be wishing for anyone to die.
Why are you on this site anyway? You have absolutely no idea what you are
talking about. I feel sorry for you, if wishing for others to die is what you
desire. Maybe you should use what time you have left to research eating
disorders then ask for forgiveness.

DId it help? Myproanaworld? It comes from within, then you decide, because ulitimately you have to ask yourself, Why? and for who? Has ana truly made you happy? Or are you consumed with her every minute of the day. Britt used to ask me "mom, remind me why I want recovery" I answer "Britt, so you can seet the sun, and smell the flowers" Stop and think, when is the last time you did that.

It is heartbreaking to see a mum put this video up. And I am glad you did. There is so much more to EDs that damage the body beyond weight and numbers. I wish you both love and hope that you can both get through this. Britt needs to be 100% well before she can help anybody else. Life beyond EDs can be so wonderful. It's hard to believe, but beyond the focus and depression that keeps you in this hell, there is so much beauty. Especially in the miracle of being a mother. Hugs! x

I've struggled with this disease for a long time. But personally, I'd be so upset if my mother made a video of my struggle and put it on the internet for everyone to see. Just think about how it would feel to have your struggle publicized by someone you care about.
sixxmany 1 year ago 5
Brittany is so actively involved in helping others to recover from this disease. I can't even imagine a better inspiration than someone who has actually struggled and survived. Can you? Would you even begin to listen to someone who hasnt been through what you have been through? Britt has saved many girls with this video. Where would you begin or do you care?
mariq99 1 year ago
@mariq99 - I think Britt is a complete inspiration and brave to put her story out there in order to help others. Hopefully one day I will get there too, one step at a time for me though, I still struggle with my reflection in the mirror never mind putting a video of me on the net for the whole world to see.
Praise to Britt though for being so courageous and for giving us hope. I wish her all the luck in the world for the future.
tla86 1 year ago
@tla86 TLA you are absolutely right. Putting this out was very difficult but if it can change one girls mind about starting with ED then it is worth it. The hell of this disease has only begun. Unless you have the proper tools to fight back you will be doing this for the rest of your life. Britt is recovering from the physical part, but still suffers from the mental and emotional part. Just know that you are not alone and there are people out here who truly care!
mariq99 1 year ago
@sixxmany - Every person is different though, maybe her Britt gave her consent for this video in the hope that it will help others. I personally wouldn't want to expose my biggest weakness to the world but if I thought it might save even one other person from the prison of anorexia I would put my story out there too.
I hope that your getting better and hopefully one day won't have to struggle with this awful illness. Best of luck.

You are obviously watching these videos about anorexia for a reason. My suggestion is to get help for your obsession. An eating disorder is a disease and has absolutely nothing with getting attention. Before you post anything on my daughters video, get educated on Anorexia and Bullimia. She didn't make or post this video, I her mother did.

Alexandria278 2 years ago
umm i'm a bodybuilder .. but.. i've seen how anorexia strikes so many young teens girls so i just randomly started to watch anorexia vids and man :l
this sickness-disease-problem or however you wanna call it is freaking "underrated" !
cause any time i try to talk about it at school (about how bad is it etc) people (specially girls) who are anorexic get offended and insult me -__-
i hope your daughter gets better and i hope people start talking about this to avoid it :l
91lilfrozone23 2 years ago
The only reason girls like that get offended is because a) they don't want people to know about it too much, to keep hidding it. b)Anorexia begins to define who you are once it consumes you. Setting a stereotype insults them. c) It's simply furstrating to hear about it in a negative way, due to having it, feeling like there's a lack of control, the subject is best not be brought up, in their eyes.
I've been suffering from Anorexia for over 3 and 1/2 years.

Dreamie0108 2 years ago
is not like I try to be a complete jerk when i talk about it to people. it worries me to see healthy girls starting to look sick and weak because (i guess) they think that being skinny will make people like them more. what's inside it's more important.. if our society knew that then anorexia wouldn't affect that many people worldwide. and, if some1 talks to you about it (not in a jerk way making stereotypes) that's probably cause they care about you, like it or not, that's the truth, they care.
91lilfrozone23 2 years ago
I know this is 2 months old, but I need to comment.
"Being skinny" is a veryveryveryveryVERY small part of being eating disordered. It's a common misconception that Anorexics/Bulimics/Other eating disordered people do it to lose weight. It MAY start that way (that was not how mine started, though), but it never ends up being about the food. It's about the control. It's not simple in any sort of way. And a lot of people assume they know all about it.
Just my 2 cents. =)

TrDRPSstnedRED 2 years ago
The disease was caused by the lack of blood flow to the bones. I hope that you make the choice to recover from the deciept the ED brings. Just tell yourself why you want recovery, Britt use to say she wanted to smell the flower again, she wanted to feel the rain on her face, you can't do those things when ed occupies your every thought. Also, if you believe in GOD pray and rebuke all the eating disorder thoughts. This is what has helped Britt recover.
