Hi Lou thanks so much for this video its great. I completely agree with you that people don't understand eating disorders and this makes it hard for them to emphasise, which I think is sad. I don't know about you but looking back I am not surprised I got an eating disorder, I perceived my life as out of control and the only way to get back any order I felt was to control my diet. This was maladaptive of course because the health effects of this are huge.

[LouFederer]

Yeah, it's true - people think 'eating disorder = thin = Hollywood = stupid women' - how narrow-minded a perception!

I completely agree. Looking back, my life was screaming 'eating disorder in waiting'. I was sexually abused when I was 12, I was severely bullied in high school, I have a severely competitive family, I have an uncompassionate mother who herself has a strange relationship with food... The list does go on - but hey, the insight I have now ROCKS. So happy I can help others. xxx

Ah thankyou so so much for this video.You and your videos are such an inspiration to me and i genrally cannot thank you enough!

Iv'e been wanting to make a video response for ages just to show my appreciation and gratefulness, so hopefully i will be able to do that asap! Also i dedicated abit on my profile to you aswell, because like i said you have been such an inspiration and very encouraging. You are the best :) ♥

Oh and sorry for like the last 3/4 comments, it randomly kept posting it :\

[LouFederer]

Ah! <3 Sian, you absolutely darling! You know what, I feel privileged that I CAN inspire people. I was always quite good at public speaking and love expressing myself, it's awesome I can put it to really good use by helping real people going through true hell.

I saw your dedication to me on your profile, and I am honestly so so flattered! I don't honestly know how I deserve it - it doesn't seem real to me that I have such kind and warm-hearted fans. I'm so glad I could help! :) Thank you! xxxx

[littlemissyoutubian]

you really encourage me... its so nice to be able to listen who has been through this... and eventhough i am also now reaching a healthier weight im still miles away from any form of normality... its so annoying when peolple look at me and are like "but you dont have bones popping out everywhere" urgh!!!!

Thanks again xx

[LouFederer]

I know exactly what you mean. Recovery can happen very quickly, physically - a starved body gains weight will more alacrity than an unhealthy mind sees 'sense'. Keep strong though. Being well is all that matters! xxx

[hellomarlie]

oh! this is SO sweet of you!!! thankyou so much, you really do inspire me. Like you say, people who haven't had an eating disorder find it incredibly hard to understand, so i've never talked about it with my real world friends. It's just amazing to have support from wonderful, beautiful, amazing, inspiring people like you!!! i'll make another video about life/college soon as i get the chance. You are brilliant - I love you Lou!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[chocolatekiss608]

thanks for this video, you have so much retrospective insight and I love how you express yourself! You are an inspiration to many :)

Her head is far too trained to the side. Like as if she's posing for some facebook or myspace picture.

[sweetsugarcoma]

Its shallow piggish men who make women develop such disorders.

[DorkyCourtney94]

You basically everything you say is %100 true. Though I still my ana tendencies so...yeah..

Recovery is mentioned several times: How many recover on their own? How many required hospitalization and professional treatment? Some experts say recovery is not possible because, as these same experts say, anorexia is a permanent brain disorder that can only be controlled. Thoughts?

[mrsfhuckingawesome]

i cant watch her! i cant! she needs to turn her flippin head!!!!!

[karahershey]

[Tweldofame]

My speakers dont work, but your very cute!

[XantinovaX]

... wow... thanks for the video, the insight, and so I can see the point of view you had toward people who asked you to get help before... that helps me understand my friends who are currently recovering from anorexia. I had a friend who seemed to be even more driven to anorexia when I was around, because I was overweight, she didn't want to become like me, picked on like I was, humiliated like I was.
