Remember you have to make mistakes in order to learn
Also remember that everybody is at different positions in their life and recovery so never compare your journey to anybody elses
The only thing we can all do is support each other and respect each other and help one another
Remember that not everything will always resonate with you and that is also okay
Sending so much love 💌

Demi you are doing well dont let people tell you you arnt. I do fear however you have gone down bit of a orthorixia route with needing to eat pure and healthy options. You haven't seemed to quite mastered food freedom. Like you would really struggle to go out for a unexpected coffee and cake with friends and family, or take away, or restaurant meal , or join in with treats with what everyone else is having at the work place occasionally etc.
Its not a problem yet but is something youl definitely need to approach at some point but i think you know this.
You have tried to approach it a little recently in one your videos by getting something to eat from Marks and Spencer for dinner instead,thats good. Keep going with that. Keep pushing yourself. Your doing great. X
It is a problem.
@@snacktivist tbh orthorexia is mainly just bad if you cutting out fats and eating super low cal always, but she really seems to just be eating a great balanced diet with lots of nutrient rich foods which her body needs to recover. in any case, this is 1000% better than restriction, and i dont think someone NEEDs to eat lots of super processed foods just for the sake of 'recover' , especially if they enjoy their food, dont feel restricted and have enough nourishment. Go Demi!!! super inspiring and honestly makes recovery seem more possible for people who would never attempt it if they though they had to only eat nutella, chips, cakes ect
Thankyou so much for the comment it really does mean alot!! Definitely important to carry on facing certain things x
@@megc313 Honestly... thank you so soooo much for this comment reading this was like a breath of fresh air! Completely agree, its super imporant to have a balance, be healthy and eat wholefoods. In recovery sometimes its about getting back to basics being consistent and not overwhelming yourself with big challenges etc and ofcourse always eating the foods you truly enjoy. ❤
@@megc313 no one "needs" to eat ultra processed foods, but the choice elimination of them indicates a fear that needs to be challenged in recovery.
You're doing amazingly well. Keep pushing those thoughts away and creating new positive ones. The dry salad is bringing back memories, I feel for you. You will be mind blown when you find the confidence to introduce salad dressings and sauce. It'll come, but just keep pushing through because every day you will gain strength. A quote that got me through the tough times was "Every day, in every way, I'm making my life better and better" ❤
Thankyou so much ❤ I love that quote also !!! Thank you for sharing, sending lots of love x
@Demiproudman If there is anything I can do to help you in any way, please don't hesitate to ask flower. ❤️❤️
Keep going Demi, you’re so capable and resilient and so worthy of getting a life that is so far beyond the fear the Ed brings. You deserve freedom, keep fighting for it
Thankyou so much honestly your kind words and support means the world to me ❤
Demi I am a long time supporter of yours. I think you are a beautiful person and I am absolutely positive amazing things are going to come for you when you are recovered (and along the way too!). I know you are also trying really hard. AND I think your disclaimers were also a really good sign that even you know that your ED was holding the steering wheel on this day. We could have a whole discussion about whether you can find true recovery and food freedom whilst only eating "clean" (I think that is something you will need to figure out down the road in your recovery... I will say that yes balance is important but you are in RECOVERY and that is the most important thing right now. Food is your medicine and your recovery diet might not be as objectively balanced as you might like at the moment) but even if you wanted to eat "balanced" or "clean" right now, you can be eating a whole lot more for recovery than what you showed in this video. I don't know if you got scared because of the body changes you said you have noticed but it just seemed like you were playing it safe perhaps? Like you could add an extra egg on your toast rather than spreading one egg across both. Or add some rice to your salad to bump up the nutrition more or switch to 5% yoghurt instead of 2%. There are small tweaks you can do to still eat "balanced" but continue to work towards full recovery. Just a few thoughts to ponder. I do wish you well and I don't want to come across as a hater as it is the ED I will always call out if I see it taking control. This is also just my opinion so throw it away if you completely disagree 😂
Heyy!! Thankyou so much, its a big learning curve for sure and a road that will look totally different for us all. We will make many mistakes and have so many realisations along the way too. Thankyou for the suggestions i do appreciate it. Sending you much love on your journey also, you can do this ❤
I agree!! I’m not being mean at all, just someone who has been there…. This day really does not seem like a recovery food day- it seems like a fair bit of restriction still😰. It’s just to take note of, that’s all! Keep pushing! You have made huge strides❤
You are doing so good! It seems like you are getting a lot more energy and excitement!
Thankyou so much 🤩🤩
This is nearly enough for recovery. Sure you can maintain your weight with this much food, but in recovery you have to eat the double at least in order to restore your weight. I know its difficult but you can do hard things!!
That is the tiniest smoothie ever!!! I’d be so sad with only that much!!!
I’ve never perfected making smoothies… but I will keep trying 😭😂
boiled egg!!? you look stunning, dying your hair was a power move lol
I agree
Right, she looks even prettier than she already was.
Thankyou so so much ❤
@@ChloeSinclair-jt5kj thankyou so much ❤
@@JackCoombs-iy8vz Thankyou!!!!
I love beetroot! You’re doing amazing, so inspiring! Thank you for sharing ❤. Keep going queen 🥰
YASS beetroot queens ❤ Thankyou so much for the lovely comment and right back to you tooo!!! xx
Hi Demi love you loads and your doing amazing keep fighting hun I’m still really unwell and struggling but you have just made my day
Hey lovely, so sorry to hear your still not well :(( remember take extra care right now and i hope you have a speedy recovery x
keep pushing demi! so proud of you, keep making little changes it will all be worth it. if you enjoy how you’re eating that’s fine, ignore the silly comments. i like eating foods like this too and that’s okay. your future self will thank you for all your hard work your putting in! ❤
These comments aren't silly, they come from a place of love, care and concern, and they are practical
@@snacktivist okay.. taking it at her own pace is also practical! if she likes the food she’s eating and there’s no negative thoughts behind it then there’s no problem :) (to add to this i didn’t say all the comments are silly, some of the comments on previous videos included are)
Thankyou so much Gracie it really does mean so much to me ❤ Sending you much love also I hope you are doing okay, keep on going you can do this xxxx
@@gracie1x I'm speaking from years of struggle. It's easy to settle into the foods you "like" and never challenge foods you might like, have never tried, or that the eating disorder has convinced you that you don't like (often the case). The more variety of foods we challenge the faster our brains get rewired
What about 2 eggs at lunch??
Awesome as always Demi, you don't look like a boiled egg you look great, ignore the haters, and don't worry about the tmi at the end, I handled it fine, lol.
Thankyou so much!! hahaha im glad about that
@@Demiproudman No problem.
Hey Demi, I’ve been following you for a while and your journey has been so so encouraging for my own. You have shown such bravery and courage and I’m so happy that you feel more able to make positive steps forwards, it’s helped me make some challenging steps that I’d never thought I’d be able to make.
I hope it’s ok to ask and hope not to trigger, but how did you overcome exposing yourself more to fear foods? Any advice would be so so appreciated xx
Also your whole grain rice puff bars look so good, a recipe would be amazing! They kinda remind me of cornflake crispy cakes lol x
I know you don't mean any harm in your comment but discussing your specific fears of delicious Ella bars (when it is a safe food for Demi) when Demi clearly has some orthorexia tendencies might be a bit triggering? Perhaps you could just talk about exposing yourself to fear foods more generally rather than offering specific information?
@@Kleigh8484thanks for the gentle advice 😊x
Heyyy!! Thankyou so much for the lovely comment, Im so glad that the videos have helped you that truly means the world to me! I hope you are well and im sending much love. Keep on going, you can do this! also i think you might have mentioned something about delicously ella bars.. I had the same kind of thoughts however now I eat them with ease they are super good for on the go and when in a rush and they are full of goodness including fibre which is super important, challenge it and repeat it and it will become easier i promise! xxxx
I also get shakey like that especially when my body needs food but my hunger cues are so messed up that sometimes thats the only way i can tell is when my hands get shakey??? Idk
I think that’s why it happens to me too, possibly could be related to blood sugar levels also, sending you so much love keep on going!!
Could you share the recipe for those little cakes with peanut butter, dates and dark chocolate? They look amazing! 😮🥜🍫
Heyy yess ofcourse the link to the recipe is www.makemesugarfree.com/post/gooey-chocolate-caramel-rice-puff-squares You can adapt and change it however you like, i hope you enjoy it as much as i did ❤
Thank you so much! 🤗💞
are you okay, hand shaking can be a sign of low blood pressure, or not in a healthy place. take it gentle dont stress your body too much lovely
I googled it can also be a sign of too much exercise as something I struggled with when my heart wasn't doing well. I hope thats not the case for you, id get it checked out by a doctor lovely
@@lifeyogafunfoodandfitness heyyy thankyou so much i will have to see what it could be i feel like its related to blood sugar maybe, anyway i hope your all good keep on goinggg ❤
❤

omg how early do you get up?!... :O
also, we just appreciate being truly transparent of your feelings and overall recovery both ups and downs- that's life :)
@@andrea.andrea I knowwwww im always awake so early!!! I cant remeber the last time I wasnt awake after 6am 😆 Thankyou so much! Hope your all good, sending my best wishes x
Where’s your deliciously ella sponsorship 😂
@@alicew2454 hahahaha I’m patiently waiting 😭😂🙌🏼
If your receiving negative comments just f##k them just jealous of how well you are doing
❤❤
I wanna see 10% yogurt! Are you using whole milk in your smoothies? Easy invisible calories! Making small changes to foods that you can't actually see (choosing the higher calorie salad dressing, cheese, etc) is a good technique.
Beets contain nitrates: they actually affect your blood in the same way that certain performance-enhancing drugs do! You're probably associating iron with blood: nitrates affect blood pressure ...
That salad looked incredible. It would be so good with a drizzle of tahini! (follow crazyhealthycool)
Honestly girl, fuck everyone else lol This is your recovery. DO IT. There is no happy medium in recovery. You've been living in extremes for how many years. It's time to flip the switch. Really do this.
I love healthycrazycoool! is there a such thing as 10 percent yogurt?
I think you mean 5 percent, maybe 2 was all the store had?
💯 all of this! Small ways to add calorie dense foods without your body having to deal with more quantity when it isn't used to it. Two eggs instead of one. Rice with the salad or add some sourdough with avocado. Would love to see her do a video where she adds extra components to make it a recovery meal rather than a maintenance plan at best.
@@lifeyogafunfoodandfitness lol yes, here in Ontario and Quebec we have Liberte and another brand (the name escapes me) that are 10 or 12% fat. In my local market they have one that comes from Quebec that is higher
@@lifeyogafunfoodandfitness shop somewhere else. I meant 10%
Your courage is amazing and because you’re sharing your journey you have helped me so much. You’ve helped me by reminding me to be kind to myself and listen to my body AND that it’s okay to find healthy enjoyment in food. 🩷🩷🩷🩷 Keep kickin butt girl!
Thankyou so sooo much for the lovely comment it really means the world to me and Im so glad that the videos are helpful ❤ Sending you much love, keep on going. We can do this!!! ❤❤
