I agree that you are a wonderfully eloquent speaker. I wonder what you're studying? Thanks for making my day more hopeful.

[eniwekwe]

thank you fraulein.

[jennfriedman]

thank you for making this video. Nobody expects you to be perfect - that is not the picture of recovery. Humility and understanding is also a part of it. So thank you for talking about your good AND bad moments. it makes you real, it makes the ones who are sick have hope.

Your courage to be honest is an inspiration, it does not make you a hypocrite or weak!

I came across your video as I think i suffer from anorexia but at 31 you kind of think its just extreme dieting. I am currently in the middle of writing my dissertation on anorexia and the Beauty Myth and you have given me a lot to think about, especially with your misconception video. Very clever girl you are and I hope you keep on the way you are, informing people of your experiences and helping people for a long time. You are a gorgeous young women, i wish you well xxxx

wonderull, beautifull - thank you - WE ARE WATCHING YOU

[RAPISTNEAR]

Your honesty and your open kindness is refreshing. This is what I needed, not just to help me with my eating problems, but with everything that I have been struggling with and have been struggling with for years. I felt a long moment of clarity while watching this, and I feel that I will be revisiting this video again.

Thank you.

... that just appears to be the same old one because it was crafted by the same old known enemy. We've fallen into similar traps before, and we've learned how to get out. We must always remind ourselves to cherish this knowledge, because it's something anorexia may try to make us forget, but she will never take away from us. I want to thank you for your bravery, for you persistance and for your generosity, and wish you all the strength, joy and support you surely deserve.

Hi, Kat.

I don't know if you remember me, I'm that nosy brazilian anthropologist working with EDs...

I'm so glad you're back. Very few people I know would be brave enough to speak so openly and honestly about recovery as you've done in this video. I don't think "relapse" is a good word, though, because it can trick us into thinking that all our efforts and struggles were in vain, while we're been drawn into a new trap...

You're a beautiful person and it's a process, You are still trying and that is an inspiration.
