hello, why did you block me? now i cant subscribe to your videos, they help me a lot. My other name was houstonrockets616.

[OSnapski]

i only blockd you because you were leaving rude comments to my other viewers, claiming we were good friends when ive never even really talked to you, and just plan being rude.

this wasn't directed to you by the way. And sorry if I sounded like a jerk

I actually thought was you said was inspiring. Happy holidays :)

[OSnapski]

thanks and you too <3

I know this sounds ignorant, but Thanksgiving is a day where people eat the most, not diet or fast.

I mean, I know what it's like to not want to eat. I've been through it at your age (14) for 2 months.

But, it is a tad bit selfish to still be fasting and not eating during a holiday like this when you're supposed to give thanks for the food you have. Plenty of people in the world would trade lives with you to be ale to eat like you can.. but you don't really care. No offence.

heytracey is right,

i get where u r coming from though. and i didnt fast the whole day, just during breakfast and lunch so then i could eat dinner. you probably skipped lunch completly, seeing as thats what most people do on thanksgiving.

and compare ur two months, with my two years. actually, its more by now. it's close to some 750 days. thats 18,000 hours constantly worrying about food.

You are so gorgeous.

good point. i don't know why i didn't think of that. i'm gonna go make a sandwich and cancel my therapy appointment.

I need to try what you're doing. It seems like I am gaining weight but I don't even eat that much. I might need to cut out food all together and not eat at all. Just drink water. I once used to be anorexic and I should have stayed anorexic. Because I was once anorexic, I used to be skinny and pretty. I need to go back to being anorexic.

really great video B! it is hard and stressful but

everyone can get through it with support and

distractions, so true! a social life is key to recovery

but it's also key to life! once you get out there and

live experiences and make friends and do things

you never thought you could or would, you'll be so

much happier and healthier! and faith is also a

great way to find something you believe in and

run with it! keep going, you can do it, love you B!

u r really inspirational to me and i wish i could show my other friends this!!! i luv that u r getting this out there that it isnt just not eating and thinking ur fat its a whole mind game that sucks and feels like ur in hell! i no that everyone is different but that is the general idea. i give u a lot of props though for posting this because i am still afraid to share with my friends. keep it up tho and feel free to talk to me if u need ;) even tho we dont really no each other :P

just because you hate your dad doesn't mean you have a dysfunctional family....that's like a typical teenage thing...

American Thanksgiving makes me happy I live in Canada. Except I experience the same thing in October and with the holidays here ... ugh, food. I'm glad you addressed this issue in a video, it really does help to know we're not alone.
