if you are overweight being anorexic will only help, not hurt you. Its only when you breach the healthy weight and go too deep into starving yourself that it can become a problem. Edit: Its incredible how obnoxiously obsessive and offensive people can get over something so minuscule as a totally logical statement albeit unconventional. What I was trying to get across with my comment was that an anorexic mentally- when you are in state of excess weight- would help you lose weight as long as you don't go too deep. A healthy person can refrain from eating for prolonged periods of time without much health risk as long as they keep hydrated and have body fat for fuel. I personally(and people I know) can go weeks without eating and experience health and mental benefits from it. The body is designed for prolonged caloric deficits and is optimized for running on body fat/ketones when in a fasted state. Fact is, when you are overweight being in a caloric deficit until you reach a normal BMI shouldn't be something a healthy person could die from non the less worry about. Quite the opposite it can prolong their life and help their mood. Do you honestly think that we are designed to eat 2000 calories every day? How exactly do you think bears sleep an entire winter without eating and still live to tell the tale every spring? How come certain aboriginal tribes only eat on rare occasions once or twice a week and still live fairly long? How come it fasting is proven by scientists the preferred state of the body? You tell me.
@@theeloquenteccentric8321 please educate yourself. This is so incorrect. Anorexia is a horrible disorder that takes over your brain,body and life. It doesn't matter if your overweight, healthy, or underweight.. it's bad for your health. As someone who stopped eating breakfast and lunch for a year to try to lose weight because I was over weight this is extremely rude to say!
@@theeloquenteccentric8321 anorexia does not help ANYONE. No matter your weight, it isn't simply a diet. They eat in amounts that wouldn't even provide suitable nutrition to a BABY because they've been told stuff like what you just said, and because of their "perfect" role models in the media. You don't just become anorexic, lose weight and then go back to eating a healthy amount. It stays with you for an extreme amount of time, haunting you and infecting your mind, taunting you. It is a lethal mental illness and you shouldn't be saying that it's fine for an overweight person to starve themselves. You should be ashamed, people have lost their lives to this and you're acting like its healthy
Me too I have a twin who compares herself to me I had an accident in a wheel chair now my twin I’m a 138 lbs what do you weigh what do you weigh she won’t shut up I have no peace at all sorry I’m just scared of what’s happening my actions this last week sorry
Omg you don’t understand seeing this comment is actually so helpful I’m doing better but seeing all the other comments was kinda triggering but urs makes me feel better like maybe I should keep going too..
my brain: aight, here's what you're gonna do. you're gonna watch this video and trigger yourself and I'm not gonna tell you that you got triggered till you relapse
its so sad that nobody is given attention to this piece of art. this video is basiclly telling my story except that i made myself throw up and harm myself as a punichment so i dont do it again.
you restrict for so long. when you do get the food you want, you eat until everything is gone and starve for days then binge then starve. it's a cycle.
hey, i’m here to tell you there is hope :) only 6 months ago i was in the depths of anorexia, it ruined everything, relationships, happiness, social life, just about anything you can think of my eating disorder ruined. but i made the right choice and reached out for help, and i’m now steady and happy in recovery:) my birthday is in 8 days and i’m going to eat cake and just enjoy life because i’m not letting calories control me anymore and neither should you. i promise you, there is a light at the end of this tunnel and i know you’ve heard that a million times and you don’t believe it but neither did i and now i’m here. i love you take care of yourself
My daughter is about to graduate from RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) with a Bachelor's in the Fine Arts. She just had to do her final film, which was finished not long ago. It was mental health-related, too. I can so appreciate these small independent films and the filmmakers behind them! I am so proud to watch these films, knowing how much blood, sweat, and tears have gone into making them. Good work! ~A Proud RIT Parent :)
I’m so happy that people are finally able to address the problem of binge-eating after forcing a diet on yourself, and the fact that people with an ED aren’t always like- stick figures.
I never looked thin even when I starved for years, ate 1 piece of bread a day, drank a gallon of water to stay full, exercised for hours without eating. People loved how pale I was "porcelain skin". 45 kgs 5'5" my friends kept calling me chubby, I kept starving myself. I was never thin enough, until I crashed, I nearly died of severe anemia, prone to brain haemorrhage. It took me 3 years to be back to normal. My request to everyone going through this.. Please do not listen to anyone, prioritise yourself, have opinion of yourself through your eyes. My best friend was the one who fatshamed me, she'll never get it. And I don't care.
perfect representation of the binge-restrict cycle. everyone expects someone with ana to not binge, but very few times is that the case, and people with ana do purge, but it's part of their long-lasting restrict cycle unlike bulimia. this vid is honestly one of the most accurate representations of eds ive ever seen. good job.
I cried while watching this. This the whole representation of my life during quarantine... Im obsess to loose weight that I got into this rabbit hole (binge-eating and throwing up) I wish I could cure this. It really affects my mental health 😟😞
I struggle with self image a lot. While I very thankfully do not have an eating disorder, I wish I could push myself to be better. Work out. Eat healthier. And yet I don’t have the energy to do it. An eating disorder is not the “pretty” mental disorder. It’s more than that. Much more. In media and in movies it’s portrayed as forcing yourself not to eat. It shows purging on food as eating a lot, running into the bathroom, and running out and being “pretty” and “slim” again. This shows the cold, hard truth of an eating disorder. It wraps around your mind and changes the way you view yourself and everything around you. It shows the dark side, or really what an eating disorder truly is. I hope any of you struggling with a disorder to get better, and I know it’s hard but you CAN heal. You are NEVER “too far gone”. You can heal and get better and I promise it’s not over yet. You have purpose. You are beautiful and amazing just the way you are. I love you, and hope you’re okay.
I remember skipping breakfast and lunch and I only ate dinner never all of it, though even my parents noticed, I knew it hurt them for some reason i just snapped out of it and started binge eating but after that and having a kidney stone i've had trouble gaining weight not that i'm super skinny but i used to gain weight so much easier, I don't know if what I had could even be considered as anorexia but i can assure starving yourself is never good.
For anybody reading this, please remember that you are loved, and that your body deserves nourishment. I don't know what it's like to struggle with this illness, but please please please remember to take care of yourself. You don't need to obsess over calories. They will not kill you, they will not make you fat. You are beautiful in your natural state, and your body deserves your love. You deserve to be more than skin and bones. Skinny is not beautiful, It is unhealthy , so please, for your future self, get help.
stop being insensitive and educate yourself. the fact you don’t even know what it’s like to have anorexia and still consider giving this shitty advice is triggering and disgusting.
@@mollie-maiellmer6607 I'm really sorry this made you so angry. I have struggled with eating disorders before, just not anorexia. I'm not sure how this is insensitive or triggering in and of itself, especially when the video itself is about anorexia. It would be nice if you could explain to me why what I said was disgusting instead of just tearing me a new one. Clearly I wrote this with good intentions, so I don't see why you had to be so mean about it.
@Annie Strawbsie hey! I’m 14 and currently struggling with a ED and been in treatment for about 5 weeks now! We definitely can get through this together!!!!.
Watching this when you have anorexia binge eating type hits hard because all of this, is what I go through. The starving and/or purging, then bingeing, the guilt for bingeing, and then purging and/or starving. It's a cycle I can't stop and I kinda don't want to stop
I’ve recently tried to get better. I’m eating more than 1000 calories now ( a forbidden number when I was starving myself. ) I could go days eating only upwards of 500 cals. It hurt to stand, I was so dizzy I felt like I was going to pass out and never wake up. I danced until my legs shook, I don’t think my body could take how much deficit I was in. Yet, I miss those days. I miss feeling light and boney, and whenever I felt dizzy, I felt like I was getting somewhere. I think I’m relapsing please don’t like this comment
This is so real, thank you for creating this. Shining light on the reality of what someone goes through with an eating disorder. I’ve been dieting since I was 12, developed bulimia at 20 and still struggling at 25.
i have anorexia but no one will ever understand because i’m not as skinny as the typical standard for anorexia. my friends always ask why i don’t eat at school yet i stay so “healthy” little do they know
@@whathappensin_vegas Thank youuuu I am doing better because I’ve been spending less time at school due to lockdown but it’s still pretty bad at school also I’m sorry you relate to that because beauty standards and things are so toxic :(
The problem is (besides other things) when you are obsessing w being underweight BUT YOU ARE ALWAYS AT A HEALTHY WEIGHT so you don't feel "sick enough" to say you are sick. "EDs are mental illnesses, not body types"!
for everybody out there struggling: you can and deserve to recover! after 5 years of being sick and miserable, I've been in recovery for about 2 years now and it's the best decision I ever made! I still can't say I'm fully recovered, but I'm at a normal weight now, eating normal sizes of food and treating my body gently. life is so better now. you can do this. p.s. you don't need to have an eating disorder or to restrict to be thin, alright? having an ED means you're miserable and sad and sick, not that you'll get thin faster or discipline yourself better.
Since everybody is saying theyre story i will tell mine: So im 12 and ive always been rlly skinny which was hard for me to gain weight but i was eating perfect and i was healthy since corona virus came back i was eating alot i love eating but at some point my own step mother said that i got a fat stomach and when her mother came over and visited she said i got fatter cheeks, since i was getting clothes out that didn't fit me and my stepmother was just surprised because she said im getting fat and i have been having those clothes for years and i told her well i have been having those clothes for years and my stepmom isn't i dontwant to sound rude but she isn't "fit" either she has been working out and stuff so i decided why not i have a perfect body just not a flat stomach and i got insecure about it looking the mirror all the time just starring of my stomach so i didn't decide to go on a diet but i saw a youtuber who said her secrets to having a flat stomach and eating everything she wanted i watched it and she said that she eats smaller meals so i only ate 3 meals per day max and i would try to eat smaller have a smaller plate of food every time i did and i started getting headacks and was tired cold my hair started falling out when i brushed it and i was hoping since eating smaller meals i would get a flat stomach and exercising well all of that i searched it up and i was getting almost all the symptoms of me being anorexic and i almost started crying and a few days later i started eating more and i don't get headache's anymore as much and my hairs isn't falling anymore but im still very insecure about my stomach i feel like im falling back in the track of getting a eating disorder today i ate chicken rice and veggies but my body wanted more food and i did but im still hungry and still want to eat but it pases away i still don't consider having a disorder im scared of considering that i had a eating disorder im not sure if i did also My dad started realizing that i was eating less. Dont ever let someones appearance about you ever get to you you are beautiful idc if ur chubby skinny anything you are unique nobody has the perfect body and if u think u do girl what are you doing here go have fun be yourself we are all unique in our own ways.
omg Awnn your amazing and it’s crazy how much confidence a person can loose just by one person saying something rude, people need to learn to stfu and keep it to there self ! And btw I hope you get better girl, any updates of what is happening? I’m here to listen
omg! u r sooo right! Im 13, i dont hv an ED but I do know some1 who has one, and guys its so hard to deal with one but thank you for sharing ur stories! Also we live in a society where every1 says being fat is bad and being skinny is good. But ppl r so much more than their how they look like. We have goals and can reach potential. Everyone is amazing and special in their own way. Thank u for sharing ur story, for ppl struggling with an ED just know that u r strong and although its so hard to keep in mind, remember that you are so much more than wat u look like
please don’t starve yourself. I’ve been through it. Weight gain is not a bad thing. Please I’m begging you to please try eating more. I know me saying eat doesn’t help at all, but consider recovery please. 1/5 people with anorexia die, it’s very dangerous. Please do not starve yourself. If you need to talk ever lmk
Don't do that. Your body is probably in calorie deficit. Please realize your body is doing autocanninalism right now. Your body is eating itself if you starve yourself. At some point if this continues you won't even be able to shower without risk of a heart attack. Please GO GET HELP. Life isn't a scale it's an experience.
@@asavelayoung7315 nonono!!!!!! Breakfast is the most important meal, as it's basically the fuel for your body, it's what keeps your body going NEVER skip breakfast
There's no point in starving yourself, because eating less food slows down your metabolism, which means you'd gain weight faster. Instead, eat more, but smartly, don't eat too much fat and oil and increase foods like vegetables, eggs and rice in your meals (or search up on google meal recipe that don't contain lots of fat). Doctors say that starving yourself is not important, what's important is excersize and eating smartly. Don't do this to yourself! It's not good for you, you'll be so fraile that you cant even bend down properly.
Thank you for this i am a bit bigger than her been struggling for 17 yrs and because of that I've been told I don't have a problem this hit me in the heart I don' really binge its just regular meals at this point
i teared up so hard.. I know how she feels...I was in that same condition two years ago... my mom got worried about me not eating... it was so hard.. all for the sake to look pretty... now I don't really care anymore... I've learned to love myself... and I started to mix it.. eating both healthy and junky...i pray for people who are going through eating disorders ..I hope they make a break through ...and love themselves just the way they are ❤❤❤
You that feeling...that feeling when you think you're making progress, but then you look at your body and all you wanna do is cry. You wanna lose weight so bad, but it feels as if it won't happen....then you think "wth, being skinny won't make me happy", but at the same time you're not happy with how you look now....yea I can relate
for everyone just know that even if you think you're all alone going through this, you're not, a lot of people care about you, even if it's just strangers on the internet ❤️ don't ever give up and I'm so proud of you for everything ❤️❤️
Love this video. Been watching it for weeks now. Such an accurate representation of eating disorders. Do you have Instagram?? 💞 Love this. Keep up the good work 👏🏼
@@diarani6794 hey, sorry for the super late reply- but do you mind sharing it? I'd love to follow you on there!! You're super talented and to this day this is one of my favorite videos!
My family used to call me too thin. Whenever my cousins had friends over they'd literally call me a "stick" and even my own mom was like "Looks like the wind is gonna blow you away any day now." So I let them all get to me and I ate A LOT without ever exercising and I gained weight, but not too much weight (or so I thought). I was pretty happy with the results. Until people started called me fat and ugly. Even my best friend off-handedly remarked one day "Why are you getting so fat? It doesn't suit you at all." And as people said this stuff I myself started noticing things in me that I never noticed before. Like how big my stomach was getting or how chubby my cheeks were or how fat my legs looked. So I tried to stop eating at all and exercise, but I couldn't commit and my parents forcefully fed me. I know that it was for my own good, but at that time, I used to think it was to torment me and that they didn't understand. See, they were those type of people who thought "Teenagers are children. They can't have depression." I did stop eating everything eventually but that didn't fix the image I had in mind of my body. So as was expected I developed social anxiety and a really low self-esteem. I shut up saying anything at school thinking "Anything I'd say would be useless and stupid. My other friends are better. Let them talk." I deleted all my social media accounts. Everyday, I'd find a new flaw in my appearance and cry for hours over it. I used to think that God had created me just so others could think better of themselves when they saw me. I went over the top to make sure my crush never ever saw me. In fact I started hiding from boys in general thinking that if they saw me, they'd make fun of me. I haven't told anyone about this. Now, I'm trying to overcome this all all by myself. I'm trying to appreciate my body as it is and for each flaw I find in my body, I find a good thing too. I'm trying to get my mind off my looks (anime and UA-cam's playing a huge part in this) and trying to get myself back on a normal diet. I wish no one ever goes through what I went through and am currently going through. Wish me luck too :)
for anyone who sees this who is currently struggling with an eating disorder or is recovering you are so strong and brave please remember that you are beautiful and so is your body you will fight this i promise you will i understand and see you it will all be okay right now just focus on yourself and remember that all of this isn’t worth it you’re hurting yourself you are beautiful and don’t deserve to go through the pain you are going through please seek help i’m always here to talk
It is just... Feeling under control, feeling control over what you eat, knowing how many calories are you consuming and see them lower and lower everyday makes me feel so damn fine.
This is an amazing short!! Very accurate and realistic I could feel the pain of the binge and the immediate feeling to get it out of your body and start the cycle again 😖
To everyone who is struggling: I know that I have no idea how you feel but I love you and think you are beautiful, no matter how you look. There is always someone that can help you get better, you just have to look a little harder sometimes. To everyone doing better: Keep it up, I'm so proud of you, I love you and think you're beautiful :) To everyone: The people who truly love you will help you and stay with you through everything. If you don't have those people, remember that with time, they will come. Stay safe and stay strong.
it's so sad how i relate to this so much.. i cried a lot while watching this film because this basically represents how my daily life is.. it's tiring and i hope we all recover from this. :(
This is me :-)... Thank you so much for making the video❤️.. I hope the people who make fun of others because they are fat, understand that it is not easy for them..well every type of body is beautiful as long as the person's soul is beautiful 🙏(peace✨)
i hate this, constant headaches and feeling tired... counting calories and watching my stomach shrink each day but knowing all it wants is food, feeling the pain of hunger makes me feel skinny tho, and i will do anything to be skinny, even if it kills me.
@@whatintarnation1230 oh, and if it comes to the point where you stop eating and have lots of weight loss, please talk to someone before its too late heh
@@whatintarnation1230 You are just fine the way you are, and it seriously makes me so sad to see how many girls think otherwise. You have to admit that this is not ok, this is not healthy.

Confidence is a different thing than appearance and it has nothing to do with weight. I recommend you watch ''I Feel Pretty'' on Netflix.

How everything is me 🥲, the weight, goal weight, motivation notes, how it started and how it is now .... as if this vid is representing me in everything
yk, like, I’ve eaten 300kcals all day even tho I’ve tried to fast so I go for a run, burning at least 300kcals and all the other things with it. Which is actually more efficient, talking from a medical perspective. Besides the obvious, like damaging your throat (if heavy vomiting or, bulimic malbehavioural habits are done for years your risk of developing esophagus cancer is enormous. And trust me, as a nurse i won’t recommend risking that) or lowering your heart rate (blood pressure is only second) to the point of fainting (nice to know: what triggers that explicit reflex of throwing up is caused by a nerve that goes from your brain along your spine, especially along the wall of the esophagus. It’s the nervus vagus which also lowers your heart rate and can cause an asystole of the heart. Your heart just stops in the worst case.) this kind of purging will cause ulcers in your stomach and a shift in your electrolytes. yk, all these little things like magnesium or calium or calcium, natrium, Vit.B6, Vit.B12, etc. your body needs for function. Your heart needs that (otherwise it’ll become arrythmic), your muscles need that (one word: cramps) your intestines need that (bowel movement) and every freaking cell needs that to function. To burn the fat you want to get rid of. If the tiniest things in your body are malnourished you’ve got yourself a long term problem in case you still won’t stop. So, do me a favour, or NO- Do yourself a favour: Stop vomiting. Think about your future. I’ve been there. I’ve gotten from anorexia to bulimia and my way back out of bulimia. You wanna be pretty and loved and happy? Stop shoving your finger down your throat. Go for a walk. Try jogging. Do some crunches or sit ups or whatsoever to cope with your intake if you have to. But don’t get yourself to throw up. I know we are strangers to each other and hell, who would even listen to me, but I really care about you guys and I don’t want you harm because you did not think it through for a second.
Luke Yaseen Ohh my god, your message hits me hard :( Thank you so much, you don’t know how much it means to me. I know I shouldn’t try to throw up but sometimes I’m feeling way too guilty and it seems like the only solution is to vomit. Anyway, you’re good person, thank you again. Have a great life ✨
@@xoxo5276 You’re very welcome and your comment brightened my entire day. I’m glad I could help. If you ever need to talk, I’m here to listen. I hope you start to feel less guilty and have a great life too. ❤️
This is relatable on so many levels and looking at the comments, there are, unfortunately, crowds of people who are going through the same thing... First wanting to just get healthy, then spiralling into a toxic relationship with food. Undereating for a longer period of time and diving into binges. And just because I no longer restrict so much (learned that lesson), I'm not ready to eat intutively as I used to with a peace of mind. And I still find myself cutting calories more than I should. Which may have lead to a yesterday's binge, triggered by a stressful situation. Take care of your bodies and minds guys, love yourself enough to do it.
i seen a woman at a n/a camp vomiting her food. its a anti-drug camp. she was checking the ingredients on the soda the night before. i heard her in the toilet when i was showering, and i came out and i seen it come out her mouth. i used to struggle with bulimia and im trying so hard not to relapse, it annoys me how she just does it knowing people are in there.
today was the first day i ate breakfast without feeling guilty, i am still thinking about exercing afterwards, but not excessively, just because it really makes me feel kinda better emotionally and i was stuck in my room for days. I think i can do it, i just need to be free from the shame that this illness makes me feel.
a very important thing to realize is that if you limit the foods you should be eating you'll wind up bingeing on the ones you shouldn't. don't be afraid to eat a lot of healthy foods even if they aren't as appealing, over time the body will adjust to wanting what it really needs. you've just got to work through it.
me: sitting in bed trying to be sad my mum: puts on some loud ass music and opens and closes doors rlly loudly also me: CAN YOU BE QUIET DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND HOW SAD THIS IS~
Started in 4th grade. Gym teacher made us weight ourselves infront of everyone. There was a competition to see who could loose the most weight (yes my gym teacher put 9 year olds on a weight loss journey). I started working out as home as well bc I wanted to win the competition. I went from 72 pounds to 69 I think. I was so proud of myself. Then I went to a family members house. I was greeted with three words “you’ve look like you’ve gained weight”. I didn’t eat anything the rest of the day. My mom couldn’t even get me to eat fruit. I started working out more. Not to long after I got better and started playing video games to get my mind off of it. Then I move. I started counting calories, running outside. Then over the summer is when it hit. I started crying if I didn’t wake up with 7 ribs being able to be seen. Weighted myself every day. Had to stay below 500 calories. Workout in a garbage bag, which causes you to sweat uncontrollably. It was horrible. Then that year on Christmas I heard “you’re so skinny,” and whispers of “she used to be chunkier she skimmed out” “Do you eat anything ?”. Then a boy saved me from it. I recovered so well that I gained 15 back. He broke my heart. I go back and forth now form being okay and not okay. I’ll never get as bad as I was thanks to that one boy. Me and him are friends again after no contact doe a while so it’s been helping me a lot. Glad to share my story

The only reason I stopped with the binge and purge cycle was because my hair started falling out like crazy. I still relapse sometimes and I always feel guilty after a big meal and so I've started to cry and harm myself. I know it's not good but I can't help it
i dont ever want to go down that path again....not for the third time😔, recovering was the hardest honestly, i remember trying to eat normal again but getting frustrated everytime. I lost 7 kgs in a week once, i didnt eat at all and only drank water and did all sort of vigorous exercise until i suddenly collapsed one day....i hope anyone going through such eating disorder will get better soon❤️

@@theeloquenteccentric8321 anorexia does not help ANYONE. No matter your weight, it isn't simply a diet. They eat in amounts that wouldn't even provide suitable nutrition to a BABY because they've been told stuff like what you just said, and because of their "perfect" role models in the media. You don't just become anorexic, lose weight and then go back to eating a healthy amount. It stays with you for an extreme amount of time, haunting you and infecting your mind, taunting you. It is a lethal mental illness and you shouldn't be saying that it's fine for an overweight person to starve themselves. You should be ashamed, people have lost their lives to this and you're acting like its healthy
i love how realistic this short movie is, like relatable for me :(((( i couldn't stop myself from crying,,, and i hope peace finds us all someday
Me too....
How do you feel
Hey if you want we can talk i have Instagram im_emmiy

I was able to watch this while having dinner without it bothering me too much and I'm kinda proud of myself✨
Omg you don’t understand seeing this comment is actually so helpful I’m doing better but seeing all the other comments was kinda triggering but urs makes me feel better like maybe I should keep going too..

Same though
because you watch alot of these videos, it's categorised
my brain: aight, here's what you're gonna do. you're gonna watch this video and trigger yourself and I'm not gonna tell you that you got triggered till you relapse
Please dont, you are the best person. Even tho we dont know eachother in real life. You are still amazing 💞
Hey if you want we can talk i have Instagram im_emmiy ok
Same though lol
Even if you relapse, you got better before, meaning you can get better again
seeing an asian girl, who isn’t stick thin made me feel heard. knowing that there are others out there like me, makes me feel less alone
its so sad that nobody is given attention to this piece of art. this video is basiclly telling my story except that i made myself throw up and harm myself as a punichment so i dont do it again.

you restrict for so long. when you do get the food you want, you eat until everything is gone and starve for days then binge then starve.
it's a cycle.

Don’t expose me like that hahaha :((((
hey, i’m here to tell you there is hope :)
only 6 months ago i was in the depths of anorexia, it ruined everything, relationships, happiness, social life, just about anything you can think of my eating disorder ruined.
but i made the right choice and reached out for help, and i’m now steady and happy in recovery:)
my birthday is in 8 days and i’m going to eat cake and just enjoy life because i’m not letting calories control me anymore and neither should you.
i promise you, there is a light at the end of this tunnel and i know you’ve heard that a million times and you don’t believe it but neither did i and now i’m here.
i love you take care of yourself

My daughter is about to graduate from RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) with a Bachelor's in the Fine Arts. She just had to do her final film, which was finished not long ago. It was mental health-related, too. I can so appreciate these small independent films and the filmmakers behind them! I am so proud to watch these films, knowing how much blood, sweat, and tears have gone into making them. Good work!
~A Proud RIT Parent :)
that is amazing!! i hope the project turned out well. agreed, these small independent films can be the most beautiful 🤍
imagine having the courage to put the thinspo on the wall like that...
I’m so happy that people are finally able to address the problem of binge-eating after forcing a diet on yourself, and the fact that people with an ED aren’t always like- stick figures.
i like the small detail of her wearing the white dress that she couldn’t fit into when she meets her friend
I never looked thin even when I starved for years, ate 1 piece of bread a day, drank a gallon of water to stay full, exercised for hours without eating. People loved how pale I was "porcelain skin". 45 kgs 5'5" my friends kept calling me chubby, I kept starving myself. I was never thin enough, until I crashed, I nearly died of severe anemia, prone to brain haemorrhage. It took me 3 years to be back to normal.
My request to everyone going through this.. Please do not listen to anyone, prioritise yourself, have opinion of yourself through your eyes. My best friend was the one who fatshamed me, she'll never get it. And I don't care.
perfect representation of the binge-restrict cycle. everyone expects someone with ana to not binge, but very few times is that the case, and people with ana do purge, but it's part of their long-lasting restrict cycle unlike bulimia. this vid is honestly one of the most accurate representations of eds ive ever seen. good job.
I cried while watching this.
This the whole representation of my life during quarantine...
Im obsess to loose weight that I got into this rabbit hole (binge-eating and throwing up)
I wish I could cure this. It really affects my mental health 😟😞
Binge on things take up space in your stomach without a lot of calories, like raw veggies. Don't purge, it doesn't work and it destroys your teeth
@@annewithane7876 is it also a disorder when you do the same but without purging
@@someoneswig1263 binge? Yeah, binging is disordered. But it isn't as bad as binging and purging
Definitely seek help. I would talk to someone about it. You can work on it. It's up to you to make yourself better.
I struggle with self image a lot. While I very thankfully do not have an eating disorder, I wish I could push myself to be better. Work out. Eat healthier. And yet I don’t have the energy to do it.
An eating disorder is not the “pretty” mental disorder. It’s more than that. Much more. In media and in movies it’s portrayed as forcing yourself not to eat. It shows purging on food as eating a lot, running into the bathroom, and running out and being “pretty” and “slim” again. This shows the cold, hard truth of an eating disorder. It wraps around your mind and changes the way you view yourself and everything around you. It shows the dark side, or really what an eating disorder truly is.
I hope any of you struggling with a disorder to get better, and I know it’s hard but you CAN heal. You are NEVER “too far gone”. You can heal and get better and I promise it’s not over yet. You have purpose. You are beautiful and amazing just the way you are. I love you, and hope you’re okay.
I remember skipping breakfast and lunch and I only ate dinner never all of it, though even my parents noticed, I knew it hurt them for some reason i just snapped out of it and started binge eating but after that and having a kidney stone i've had trouble gaining weight not that i'm super skinny but i used to gain weight so much easier, I don't know if what I had could even be considered as anorexia but i can assure starving yourself is never good.
For anybody reading this, please remember that you are loved, and that your body deserves nourishment. I don't know what it's like to struggle with this illness, but please please please remember to take care of yourself. You don't need to obsess over calories. They will not kill you, they will not make you fat. You are beautiful in your natural state, and your body deserves your love. You deserve to be more than skin and bones. Skinny is not beautiful, It is unhealthy , so please, for your future self, get help.
stop being insensitive and educate yourself. the fact you don’t even know what it’s like to have anorexia and still consider giving this shitty advice is triggering and disgusting.
@@mollie-maiellmer6607 I'm really sorry this made you so angry. I have struggled with eating disorders before, just not anorexia. I'm not sure how this is insensitive or triggering in and of itself, especially when the video itself is about anorexia. It would be nice if you could explain to me why what I said was disgusting instead of just tearing me a new one. Clearly I wrote this with good intentions, so I don't see why you had to be so mean about it.
my binge eatin ass starts working out, skipping meals, and drinking water so i could drown in it when i relaise what i am doing
Is that a eating disorder? I though everyone did this

@Annie Strawbsie hey! I’m 14 and currently struggling with a ED and been in treatment for about 5 weeks now! We definitely can get through this together!!!!.
same
im so glad i dont have an eating disorder, that looks really sad :(
Your name and pfp is so cursed!😆
we clearly see it, kim..
Watching this when you have anorexia binge eating type hits hard because all of this, is what I go through. The starving and/or purging, then bingeing, the guilt for bingeing, and then purging and/or starving. It's a cycle I can't stop and I kinda don't want to stop
You know it’s bad when you watch these types of videos again and you can relate
It’s amazing how you put less well known signs of an ED. Like covering up skin (where she’s trying on dresses)
I was confused for a sec I thought she weighed 70lbs pounds I was like wat but yeah kg

It's really nice to see nepalese raising awareness on ed I'm really surprised that was a really awesome work Nepali sisters keep on going ❤
I’ve recently tried to get better. I’m eating more than 1000 calories now ( a forbidden number when I was starving myself. )
I could go days eating only upwards of 500 cals. It hurt to stand, I was so dizzy I felt like I was going to pass out and never wake up.
I danced until my legs shook, I don’t think my body could take how much deficit I was in.
Yet, I miss those days. I miss feeling light and boney, and whenever I felt dizzy, I felt like I was getting somewhere.
I think I’m relapsing
please don’t like this comment
Please don't.
I PROMISE you, i felt the exact same way, i didnt want to be better, but trust me, the feeling of hapiness after recovery is INCREDIBLE
You got this, I believe in you.
How was your day today?

Ok but the dresses arent gonna fit if you have 16 sweaters on underneath.

you know for a fact its getting worse when you're watching these to pass time and to trigger yourself
This is so real, thank you for creating this. Shining light on the reality of what someone goes through with an eating disorder.
I’ve been dieting since I was 12, developed bulimia at 20 and still struggling at 25.
Everyday struggle
i have anorexia but no one will ever understand because i’m not as skinny as the typical standard for anorexia. my friends always ask why i don’t eat at school yet i stay so “healthy” little do they know
Omg this is actually one of the most relatable things I’ve ever seen, but I hope ur doing okay now since ur comment was from 4 months ago
@@whathappensin_vegas Thank youuuu I am doing better because I’ve been spending less time at school due to lockdown but it’s still pretty bad at school also I’m sorry you relate to that because beauty standards and things are so toxic :(
Why do I find films like these to be so comforting
The problem is (besides other things) when you are obsessing w being underweight BUT YOU ARE ALWAYS AT A HEALTHY WEIGHT so you don't feel "sick enough" to say you are sick. "EDs are mental illnesses, not body types"!
it’s nice they didn’t put a super skinny actor to represent that not all people with eating disorders are stick thin
Lived this for 35 years. Very good short, actually.... brilliant.
for everybody out there struggling: you can and deserve to recover! after 5 years of being sick and miserable, I've been in recovery for about 2 years now and it's the best decision I ever made! I still can't say I'm fully recovered, but I'm at a normal weight now, eating normal sizes of food and treating my body gently. life is so better now. you can do this.
p.s. you don't need to have an eating disorder or to restrict to be thin, alright? having an ED means you're miserable and sad and sick, not that you'll get thin faster or discipline yourself better.
So accurate, makes me so sad, I wouldn't let my worst enemy go through it
Since everybody is saying theyre story i will tell mine: So im 12 and ive always been rlly skinny which was hard for me to gain weight but i was eating perfect and i was healthy since corona virus came back i was eating alot i love eating but at some point my own step mother said that i got a fat stomach and when her mother came over and visited she said i got fatter cheeks, since i was getting clothes out that didn't fit me and my stepmother was just surprised because she said im getting fat and i have been having those clothes for years and i told her well i have been having those clothes for years and my stepmom isn't i dontwant to sound rude but she isn't "fit" either she has been working out and stuff so i decided why not i have a perfect body just not a flat stomach and i got insecure about it looking the mirror all the time just starring of my stomach so i didn't decide to go on a diet but i saw a youtuber who said her secrets to having a flat stomach and eating everything she wanted i watched it and she said that she eats smaller meals so i only ate 3 meals per day max and i would try to eat smaller have a smaller plate of food every time i did and i started getting headacks and was tired cold my hair started falling out when i brushed it and i was hoping since eating smaller meals i would get a flat stomach and exercising well all of that i searched it up and i was getting almost all the symptoms of me being anorexic and i almost started crying and a few days later i started eating more and i don't get headache's anymore as much and my hairs isn't falling anymore but im still very insecure about my stomach i feel like im falling back in the track of getting a eating disorder today i ate chicken rice and veggies but my body wanted more food and i did but im still hungry and still want to eat but it pases away i still don't consider having a disorder im scared of considering that i had a eating disorder im not sure if i did also My dad started realizing that i was eating less.
Dont ever let someones appearance about you ever get to you you are beautiful idc if ur chubby skinny anything you are unique nobody has the perfect body and if u think u do girl what are you doing here go have fun be yourself we are all unique in our own ways.
omg Awnn your amazing and it’s crazy how much confidence a person can loose just by one person saying something rude, people need to learn to stfu and keep it to there self ! And btw I hope you get better girl, any updates of what is happening? I’m here to listen
omg! u r sooo right! Im 13, i dont hv an ED but I do know some1 who has one, and guys its so hard to deal with one but thank you for sharing ur stories! Also we live in a society where every1 says being fat is bad and being skinny is good. But ppl r so much more than their how they look like. We have goals and can reach potential. Everyone is amazing and special in their own way. Thank u for sharing ur story, for ppl struggling with an ED just know that u r strong and although its so hard to keep in mind, remember that you are so much more than wat u look like
My dad has a eating disorder like this ..... But he's getting better... I'm proud of him
I hope he’s a lot better. Please be there for him 🤍
I dont understand i eat like 1,500 a day an input you can live off of and I still gain like 2 pounds, its just easier to starve myself
please don’t starve yourself. I’ve been through it. Weight gain is not a bad thing. Please I’m begging you to please try eating more. I know me saying eat doesn’t help at all, but consider recovery please. 1/5 people with anorexia die, it’s very dangerous. Please do not starve yourself. If you need to talk ever lmk
Skip breakfast
Don't do that. Your body is probably in calorie deficit. Please realize your body is doing autocanninalism right now. Your body is eating itself if you starve yourself. At some point if this continues you won't even be able to shower without risk of a heart attack. Please GO GET HELP. Life isn't a scale it's an experience.
@@asavelayoung7315 nonono!!!!!! Breakfast is the most important meal, as it's basically the fuel for your body, it's what keeps your body going NEVER skip breakfast
There's no point in starving yourself, because eating less food slows down your metabolism, which means you'd gain weight faster. Instead, eat more, but smartly, don't eat too much fat and oil and increase foods like vegetables, eggs and rice in your meals (or search up on google meal recipe that don't contain lots of fat). Doctors say that starving yourself is not important, what's important is excersize and eating smartly. Don't do this to yourself! It's not good for you, you'll be so fraile that you cant even bend down properly.
Thank you for this i am a bit bigger than her been struggling for 17 yrs and because of that I've been told I don't have a problem this hit me in the heart I don' really binge its just regular meals at this point
This was actually really well done. You often see these mini-movies misrepresenting things but this is pretty much spot on. Thank you.
i teared up so hard.. I know how she feels...I was in that same condition two years ago... my mom got worried about me not eating... it was so hard.. all for the sake to look pretty... now I don't really care anymore... I've learned to love myself... and I started to mix it.. eating both healthy and junky...i pray for people who are going through eating disorders ..I hope they make a break through ...and love themselves just the way they are ❤❤❤
Not me every time i stand up getting dizzy
and that's on ✨low iron levels✨
You that feeling...that feeling when you think you're making progress, but then you look at your body and all you wanna do is cry. You wanna lose weight so bad, but it feels as if it won't happen....then you think "wth, being skinny won't make me happy", but at the same time you're not happy with how you look now....yea I can relate
for everyone just know that even if you think you're all alone going through this, you're not, a lot of people care about you, even if it's just strangers on the internet ❤️ don't ever give up and I'm so proud of you for everything ❤️❤️
You know its bad when you come back to these videos
Good short film!

Content and her act dope 👌
How can you guys throw up? I hate the feeling of throwing up.
One of the bests i've seen, it really shows the truth about eating disorders
My family used to call me too thin. Whenever my cousins had friends over they'd literally call me a "stick" and even my own mom was like "Looks like the wind is gonna blow you away any day now." So I let them all get to me and I ate A LOT without ever exercising and I gained weight, but not too much weight (or so I thought). I was pretty happy with the results. Until people started called me fat and ugly. Even my best friend off-handedly remarked one day "Why are you getting so fat? It doesn't suit you at all." And as people said this stuff I myself started noticing things in me that I never noticed before. Like how big my stomach was getting or how chubby my cheeks were or how fat my legs looked. So I tried to stop eating at all and exercise, but I couldn't commit and my parents forcefully fed me. I know that it was for my own good, but at that time, I used to think it was to torment me and that they didn't understand. See, they were those type of people who thought "Teenagers are children. They can't have depression." I did stop eating everything eventually but that didn't fix the image I had in mind of my body. So as was expected I developed social anxiety and a really low self-esteem. I shut up saying anything at school thinking "Anything I'd say would be useless and stupid. My other friends are better. Let them talk." I deleted all my social media accounts. Everyday, I'd find a new flaw in my appearance and cry for hours over it. I used to think that God had created me just so others could think better of themselves when they saw me. I went over the top to make sure my crush never ever saw me. In fact I started hiding from boys in general thinking that if they saw me, they'd make fun of me.
I haven't told anyone about this. Now, I'm trying to overcome this all all by myself. I'm trying to appreciate my body as it is and for each flaw I find in my body, I find a good thing too. I'm trying to get my mind off my looks (anime and UA-cam's playing a huge part in this) and trying to get myself back on a normal diet. I wish no one ever goes through what I went through and am currently going through. Wish me luck too :)
Wow nice diya.. Natural acting.. 😊 😊 😊 good luck
This video is so deeply impactful--it deserves so many more views and so much more attention!!
i’m not sure why but lately i’ve been working on losing weight and i keep watching these videos and they make me want to lose even more weight
NO. You need to STAY HEALTHY. Skinny does NOT mean healthy. Your body deserves nourishment.
for anyone who sees this who is currently struggling with an eating disorder or is recovering you are so strong and brave please remember that you are beautiful and so is your body you will fight this i promise you will i understand and see you it will all be okay right now just focus on yourself and remember that all of this isn’t worth it you’re hurting yourself you are beautiful and don’t deserve to go through the pain you are going through please seek help i’m always here to talk
1:39 maybe the dress don't fit cuz you got on a fracken sweater
It is just... Feeling under control, feeling control over what you eat, knowing how many calories are you consuming and see them lower and lower everyday makes me feel so damn fine.
It's like watching my daily life, it brokes my heart how hard i try but i can't get over it
This is an amazing short!! Very accurate and realistic I could feel the pain of the binge and the immediate feeling to get it out of your body and start the cycle again 😖
To everyone who is struggling: I know that I have no idea how you feel but I love you and think you are beautiful, no matter how you look. There is always someone that can help you get better, you just have to look a little harder sometimes.
To everyone doing better: Keep it up, I'm so proud of you, I love you and think you're beautiful :)
To everyone: The people who truly love you will help you and stay with you through everything. If you don't have those people, remember that with time, they will come. Stay safe and stay strong.
it's so sad how i relate to this so much.. i cried a lot while watching this film because this basically represents how my daily life is.. it's tiring and i hope we all recover from this. :(
Love the way you've portrayed this. Incredible! So proud of you❤
You know it’s getting bad when you start watching these again
This is a great video I used to watch this as an eating disorder trigger but now I use it to encourage me that recovery is worth it♡
This is me :-)... Thank you so much for making the video❤️.. I hope the people who make fun of others because they are fat, understand that it is not easy for them..well every type of body is beautiful as long as the person's soul is beautiful 🙏(peace✨)
Thank you for this video.
I truly need this right now as im struggling to loose some weight.
Keep the inspiration and motivation coming.
Thank you
This is an excellent piece of cinematic work, as well as a realistic and poignant depiction. Thank you.
i hate this, constant headaches and feeling tired... counting calories and watching my stomach shrink each day but knowing all it wants is food, feeling the pain of hunger makes me feel skinny tho, and i will do anything to be skinny, even if it kills me.
Same. I even exercised til i almsot passed out today(like literally) so i'd burn the calories i got while eating dessert w my family, fun times
@@whatintarnation1230 y.yeah okay, sorry idk what to sat to that
@@whatintarnation1230 oh, and if it comes to the point where you stop eating and have lots of weight loss, please talk to someone before its too late heh
@@whatintarnation1230 You are just fine the way you are, and it seriously makes me so sad to see how many girls think otherwise. You have to admit that this is not ok, this is not healthy. I don't even know you but whoever you are, I care enough to beg you to stop. You might just ignore my comment and go on with your day, but please, this is not ok! Please please please talk to someone about this, someone other than your friends and family. Because it is not ok that they support you having bulimia. Confidence is a different thing than appearance and it has nothing to do with weight. I recommend you watch ''I Feel Pretty'' on Netflix. You are more beautiful when you tell yourself that, not when you force yourself into an eating disorder. Please talk to someone about this, read some articles, some books. It genuinely hurts to see someone else like this, and to know that no matter what I say in this comment, I might not be able fully help. Take care
Timely educational. Thanks for sharing
Ironic how this came up on my recommended right after I decided to go back to dieting.
Maybe I shouldn’t diet-
Nah.
Wow, really good! I read a book about this eating disorder and this movie really puts it together. A+ job
days where I either don’t eat for days or i over eat till I throw up sometimes, there’s no in between
How everything is me 🥲, the weight, goal weight, motivation notes, how it started and how it is now .... as if this vid is representing me in everything
I don’t manage to throw up ?? How u guys do it ?
yk, like, I’ve eaten 300kcals all day even tho I’ve tried to fast so I go for a run, burning at least 300kcals and all the other things with it. Which is actually more efficient, talking from a medical perspective.
Besides the obvious, like
damaging your throat (if heavy vomiting or, bulimic malbehavioural habits are done for years your risk of developing esophagus cancer is enormous. And trust me, as a nurse i won’t recommend risking that) or
lowering your heart rate (blood pressure is only second) to the point of fainting (nice to know: what triggers that explicit reflex of throwing up is caused by a nerve that goes from your brain along your spine, especially along the wall of the esophagus. It’s the nervus vagus which also lowers your heart rate and can cause an asystole of the heart. Your heart just stops in the worst case.)
this kind of purging will cause ulcers in your stomach and a shift in your electrolytes.
yk, all these little things like magnesium or calium or calcium, natrium, Vit.B6, Vit.B12, etc. your body needs for function. Your heart needs that (otherwise it’ll become arrythmic), your muscles need that (one word: cramps) your intestines need that (bowel movement) and every freaking cell needs that to function.
To burn the fat you want to get rid of.
If the tiniest things in your body are malnourished you’ve got yourself a long term problem in case you still won’t stop.
So, do me a favour, or NO-
Do yourself a favour:
Stop vomiting.
Think about your future.
I’ve been there. I’ve gotten from anorexia to bulimia and my way back out of bulimia.
You wanna be pretty and loved and happy?
Stop shoving your finger down your throat.
Go for a walk. Try jogging. Do some crunches or sit ups or whatsoever to cope with your intake if you have to. But don’t get yourself to throw up.
I know we are strangers to each other and hell, who would even listen to me, but I really care about you guys and I don’t want you harm because you did not think it through for a second.
Luke Yaseen Ohh my god, your message hits me hard :( Thank you so much, you don’t know how much it means to me.
I know I shouldn’t try to throw up but sometimes I’m feeling way too guilty and it seems like the only solution is to vomit. Anyway, you’re good person, thank you again. Have a great life ✨
@@xoxo5276 You’re very welcome and your comment brightened my entire day. I’m glad I could help. If you ever need to talk, I’m here to listen. I hope you start to feel less guilty and have a great life too. ❤️
This is relatable on so many levels and looking at the comments, there are, unfortunately, crowds of people who are going through the same thing... First wanting to just get healthy, then spiralling into a toxic relationship with food. Undereating for a longer period of time and diving into binges. And just because I no longer restrict so much (learned that lesson), I'm not ready to eat intutively as I used to with a peace of mind. And I still find myself cutting calories more than I should. Which may have lead to a yesterday's binge, triggered by a stressful situation.
Take care of your bodies and minds guys, love yourself enough to do it.
i seen a woman at a n/a camp vomiting her food.
its a anti-drug camp.
she was checking the ingredients on the soda the night before.
i heard her in the toilet when i was showering, and i came out and i seen it come out her mouth.
i used to struggle with bulimia and im trying so hard not to relapse, it annoys me how she just does it knowing people are in there.
today was the first day i ate breakfast without feeling guilty, i am still thinking about exercing afterwards, but not excessively, just because it really makes me feel kinda better emotionally and i was stuck in my room for days. I think i can do it, i just need to be free from the shame that this illness makes me feel.
a very important thing to realize is that if you limit the foods you should be eating you'll wind up bingeing on the ones you shouldn't. don't be afraid to eat a lot of healthy foods even if they aren't as appealing, over time the body will adjust to wanting what it really needs. you've just got to work through it.
Amazing short movie ....thank you for sharing
me: sitting in bed trying to be sad
my mum: puts on some loud ass music and opens and closes doors rlly loudly

LMAOO
Started in 4th grade. Gym teacher made us weight ourselves infront of everyone. There was a competition to see who could loose the most weight (yes my gym teacher put 9 year olds on a weight loss journey). I started working out as home as well bc I wanted to win the competition. I went from 72 pounds to 69 I think. I was so proud of myself. Then I went to a family members house. I was greeted with three words “you’ve look like you’ve gained weight”. I didn’t eat anything the rest of the day. My mom couldn’t even get me to eat fruit. I started working out more. Not to long after I got better and started playing video games to get my mind off of it. Then I move. I started counting calories, running outside. Then over the summer is when it hit. I started crying if I didn’t wake up with 7 ribs being able to be seen. Weighted myself every day. Had to stay below 500 calories. Workout in a garbage bag, which causes you to sweat uncontrollably. It was horrible. Then that year on Christmas I heard “you’re so skinny,” and whispers of “she used to be chunkier she skimmed out” “Do you eat anything ?”. Then a boy saved me from it. I recovered so well that I gained 15 back. He broke my heart. I go back and forth now form being okay and not okay. I’ll never get as bad as I was thanks to that one boy. Me and him are friends again after no contact doe a while so it’s been helping me a lot. Glad to share my story
eating healthy turned into eating an eating disorder for me...
yeahhh, i dont eat at all anymore heh
That is sad to hear! I hope you can talk with someone about it.
@@tunatatar3612 i relapsed :(
@@taetaechim8875 You are just fine the way you are, and it seriously makes me so sad to see how many girls think otherwise. You have to admit that this is not ok, this is not healthy. I don't even know you but whoever you are, I care enough to beg you to stop. You might just ignore my comment and go on with your day, but please, this is not ok! Please please please talk to someone about this, someone like your friends and family. Confidence is a different thing than appearance and it has nothing to do with weight. I recommend you watch ''I Feel Pretty'' on Netflix. You are more beautiful when you tell yourself that, not when you force yourself to starve yourself. Please talk to someone about this, read some articles, some books. It genuinely hurts to see someone else like this, and to know that no matter what I say in this comment, I might not be able fully help. Take care
are u orthorexic?
The only reason I stopped with the binge and purge cycle was because my hair started falling out like crazy. I still relapse sometimes and I always feel guilty after a big meal and so I've started to cry and harm myself. I know it's not good but I can't help it
i dont ever want to go down that path again....not for the third time😔, recovering was the hardest honestly, i remember trying to eat normal again but getting frustrated everytime. I lost 7 kgs in a week once, i didnt eat at all and only drank water and did all sort of vigorous exercise until i suddenly collapsed one day....i hope anyone going through such eating disorder will get better soon❤️
well thank you for hoping ill get better
