I've heard that before but I never experienced that. I never recovered but there have been times when I tried to force myself to eat but I didn't eat any more than what's considered normal.

Thank you so so much for this video, it's the video that's motivated me to ACTUALLY recover. You worded it perfectly like I cannot stress that enough. Hope you're doing well <33

I know, right ? Hang " meal plans" : too much like dieting. I still weigh my food,,, but this time it's to make sure I get ENOUGH calories

Needed this video today

Im scared to loose my sick identity I need help 😞

Hey Jewels, I was just thinking this week I would like to see an update or check in from you 😀I would say you are maybe more suited to New Zealand, but I live in the US for a year too, and it is defo worth doing even though you don't settle there forever, but maybe you will. The food tasted way stronger flavours in everything to me in the US, but probably in a preferable way. If you do more I would love future cooking or esp baking vlogs,

Just ate two sandwiches and a dessert bc i was hungry at night:) while watching you video!! It helped me alot thank you🥹🫶🏽

Hi! I know this was posted quite awhile ago, but I still exercise mostly everyday in the gym. I am almost over shot weight but have not gotten my period back, and still use the gym as an allowance to eat. To me I think I should stop exercising but there’s so many people who can exercise and recover, what do you think I should do?😊

So very encouraging-thank you for being so vulnerable❤

This was so helpful - thank you

great video, I’m literally in my EARLY 20’s and having to go do a DEXA scan for my bone density due to extent of this ed… it’s scary

Could someone please tell me how to tell when the extreme hunger is over?

Hii, I appreciate a lot your video <3 so true

Do we need to eat more food than everyone else for the res of our lives?

Thank you! I’m scared in recovery today. I’m so tired and keep eating through my fears but struggle with the sensation of sitting and resting. Feeling very lonely as a single mom with only two kids here. Your videos and adult presence are very helpful.

I can’t put into words how important these videos are to me and how grateful I am just thank you forever. I was able to turn off my fasting timer and get up before midnight to have what I wanted which was a big bowl of cereal, and now I’m eating a bar. Thank you

this video and your channel is actually the most helpful thing I’ve ever found and exactly what I needed thank you so so so much ❤

I'm about 2 months in to recovery and my extreme hunger is insane. This helps a lot tysm!!!

I'm experiencing it now. I'm ill and I'm not allowed out of the house. I'm scared to eat as I have only just started recovery, but I can't stop. I feel awful. I ate 2 bowls of porridge at 11pm cuz I was that physically hungry and then I was still hungry. It is awful. I don't want to end up back in hospital but I'm scared 😢❤

Hello Jules, I have started following your recovery journey, both here and on Instagram. I'm in my 50s and have had a disordered relationship with eating and exercise for over 40 years, with nearly constant weight cycling, but I'm really hoping that 2023 will be the year I finally recover. Thank you for sharing your struggles and triumphs and for putting out inspirational content to help others. I have a favour to ask: would you mind sharing the recipe for the chocolate mud cake you posted on Instagram on December 6, 2019? (I realize that was a long time ago!) I, too, like to bake, and that cake looks delicious! I hope you continue to do well. Merry Christmas and kind regards from Canada. ❤

Thank you for this honesty. My daughter is going through this now and I am looking ways to help.

Jesus loves you!

I was just wondering if you were comfortable sharing what you are doing your thesis in? I totally understand if you aren’t comfortable disclosing that! I’m just curious after hearing you talk about your experience at grad school and at the conference 😊.

Hi! I am also a Kiwi and have been watching some of your videos for years on and off, especially in 2020 when I really pushed to recover from orthorexia/anorexia/bulimia as a 24yr old! Now as I see your video pop-up and watch, I am so happy & blessed that I am also at the point you are at where I have so much rest with eating and exercise... it's crazy to look back at what I used to do & think & stress about! :) Happy you can also feel the freedom increases year after year! :) One step at a time is the best way for us a black & white thinkers! Take care & hope you have a great rest of your year! -Eva :)

Just watched this video again. The penny finally dropped overnight, the food challenges are just that - challenges ie: Hard! They almost always involve a meltdown for me at the moment. I now see that I just have to eat the food anyway. In the past, I'd not eat the food, hoping it would be easier next time. I see now it will only get easier some time in the future if I push through and eat the food. That's what I did last night. It seems like it was a small challenge given the serving serving but I can already see that it was a huge victory. Its not the serving size that determines the size of the victory, it's the intensity of mental and emotional resistance that I have to overcome that determines it. Of course, it seems completely obvious now :-) @searchingforjules - thank you again. 💜

That was SO helpful. Thank you! So you think that immersing yourself in recovery content is healthy? I've wondered if it's fuelling my attachment to the ED but I only watch recovery content, not pro-ED content. Watching and listening to other people really does feel reassuring and comforting

I have been weight restored (even overshot) for approx. 2 years now but I don't have my period. I've never stopped exercising, I cut it down and feel like I'm not overdoing it, however should I stop completely to fully recover?

In the US it is an accepted social construct that food and eating have intrinsic moral and value implications. Despite being marketed “immoral” foods 24/7, we are ripe for judgement should we participate in that behavior, especially if you have a larger body. Weight loss is a life style, almost a religion. If you don’t ascribed to the ideas that fat is bad, you can expect to receive backlash. You can be shunned. Your children can be taken away. And I once participated in this ideology and judged other people. I’m ashamed.

I wish I could record responses to your videos. I find that you always bring up relevant issues with which I would love to share my experiences. Nothing is ever simple, but I can say that my starving brain tried to reduce most issues and situations into black or white. Nothing is ever that easy, nor static. BUT, life in the variations is rich, interesting and evolving. I think that I tried to use losing weight to solve all of my problems and remedy my deep anxiety and insecurity. At first Weight loss was a talking point, then weight loss gave me false sense of worth…until it did none of those. It exacerbated my anxiety and insecurity. I became paranoid, sleep deprived and bizarre. I too never listen to ED content anymore, but I’m so glad to have clicked upon this video. Being average has its perks, especially the utter lack of the torment of a starving body/brain. I did some research after a masters program in 1998. That was a pressure cooker where insecurity was magnified and mental illness flourished. I loved it too…much more exciting for me than clinical practice, but …not healthy for me. Unfortunately, I continued to use diet/exercise to remedy all of my maladies until the pandemic. Thank you for your generous contributions to the community💗💗💗

hi! could i ask which center this was? i find this video suuper helpful so i just wanna make sure to avoid this place hehe!

Thanks for your little recovery chats, I really look forward to them and find them helpful!

Used to love and follow her before from 2016 unfortunately I think she is so far gone in her own disordered behaviour she genuinely believes she and others similar are doing no wrong. I'm glad Mia yourself and others are making it known that these accounts can be harmful

I really appreciate your honesty and vulnerability and courage 💗 you put it in a way that’s very easy to understand and calms my nervous mind!

I really appreciate your honesty and vulnerability and courage 💗 you put it in a way that’s very easy to understand and calms my nervous mind!

I can relate. Thank you for being so in the moment.

Thank you so much for this vidéo. I completely agree with you.

Thank you. I needed that more than I realized.

yes i really relate to this!! have taken a social media break recently and now everytime i look at social media i start to feel really bad... realizing this has been helpful for my recovery tho tbh. love your vids!!! keep fighting that ED <3

This is the fight I'm having with my team at the moment. Asking for antidepressants but being told the depression is due to malnutrition so to focus on that first. So hard when I am so overwhelmed and down all the time 😭 My mood is definitely affecting my recovery!! Thank you for your support and encouragement ❤️❤️❤️

Don't you think you could address the neurochemical component to 'compulsivity' vs avoiding exercise/movement/walking altogether?

100% to all of this!

I would say “do you think your eating and exercise habits are spontaneous or do they feel compulsive?”

Thus was exactly what I needed to hear today - big, big thank you💛

Thank you for this! It's a really good way to track progress in recovery. I realise that most of my pie is taken up by ed thoughts but hopefully that changes

Thank you!!! Really helpful. Thank you and I so hope you're doing ok- or even better- feeling good and managing to find joy each day. Xxx

So so good, I had severe ED issues growing up and I now have bones of an 80-year-old, please take care of your bones now, you will definitely regret it when you get older and by then, there's very little you can do to rebuild your bone structure. It's a very sad situation...

Thank you for your videos and your vulnerability. Fyi I sent you an email...

So wonderful to see your progress and to offer motivation! Thanks Julia :)

I had a similar experience w.youtube fitness, it was a rabbit hole that ended in 3 years of extreme cardio and restriction. It was massively damaging and made my anorex!a a LOT worse. I found ditching influencers like Linda Sun was very helpful. Thank you for the video babe, keep posting and keep fighting back against your ED, you light the way for others lost in the dark and we appreciate you x
