PT 1 Child & Teen Dieting Lecture

Dieting, self esteem and body image issues and eating disorders are effecting our youth - what seems like younger and younger as the years progress... Elementary and highschool years seem like the hardest. We are searching for answers, perfection, acceptance, popularity, attention and success but how many are looking for these things in all the wrong, most unhealthy, places? And is being "perfect" - "attractive" - and "popular" really worth it? What ever happened to just being YOU, a rare and special gem, ONE OF A KIND, your OWN creation? We must stand up, we must fight, we must promote acceptance that everyBODY is different - brain/mind and body. Please take a moment to watch some of my thoughts on childhood and teenage dieting, esteem issues and eating disorders - especially in the early stages before a full blown disorder has developed. Help HAPPENS, the moment you make the choice to get it. Recovery is what you make it. Consider all other options, consider choices and possibilities. You have the world at your fingertips. Stand up, embrace your voice, embrace your body, be heard, "be the change you want to see in the world", start a revolution... and live in it! I am working on the same my friends. Let's do this TOGETHER!!! forever : ) and if one should fall, do not leave them down, offer a hand of support - remember all those who have helped you and give back. We must keep recovery alive - and each other.

I've also included five special tips for dealing with these issues and promoting healthy forms of self acceptance.

You are who YOU ARE, you are beautiful.
Don't let anyone tell you different... not even your own mind.

i couldnt live with myself and lost another 20 pounds, i began cutting and punching myself. they began tube feeding me, but once i was well enough to leave i relapsed. a man told me a way to get even thinner was to take speed, so i began i didnt loose much weight maybe 15 pounds i was 59lbs at the lowest im 5'6, i found the drug to be a release of the pain i was feeling. i continue to abuse laxatives and diet pills, the drugs have stopped so far, i havent touched speed for 2 months

You've been through at ton for such a young age. You are blessed to have survived all that, honestly. I am proud of your abstinence from speed, way to go. Maybe you will continue your recovery and share your story along the way? I am sure you could help many by doing so. Hugs to you honey

I dont wanna impress

I wanna prove that im better

I did it once

And the recovery... hospital..

multiple relapses

And now ive got it back

my control, my identity, my illness.

I need this to have self esteem.

I need this to know.... im not worthless.

sorry to hear that, truly, it's not living at all. it's half assing life and ourselves. eds don't create your self worth, you do.

Thank you for posting it. I wish this message was reiterated much more. It makes so much more impact from someone who's been through the harsh pressure rather than just hearing a teacher lecture about it briefly in health class for two minutes.

I like ur chanel so much..

I must say uve got a pair of gorgous eyes!

But im dealing for 4 years now with an ED.. but the docter dont want to help me,. Im trying so hard to get healthy now :( its frustrating.. I cry when the scale says i gain 1 pound :(

I found your channel today and I am extremely glad i did. I like this video because its very true. I was an obese child until 12. I was bullied everday from kindergarten to 7th grade. I lost the weight and I don't even know how. I'm 17 now and I have bulimia starting end of 8th grade. I think i use it as a tool to fight against my fear of being hated again. I am beyond scared of going back to those years. I am so ashamed of who i was that I am running towards the opposite end

How do you know if you have an eating disorder?

I am 15yrs old, about 5'5"

I usually maintain a weight of about

95 to 98 IBs

I never really feel hungry like I felt when I was 12 and said I could "eat a whole cow" lol

Please get back to me. Love the videos! =]
