    A while ago i fell into a sorta ED, Like i was barely eating anything at all, definitely less than 1000 cals a day, and working out a bunch. Its so scary how only a few posts on socal media and a couple rude comments completely ruined my relationship with food and took me months to repair. As i younger teenager i think these videos are really important because it shows how literally everything fed toward young girls about weight and diet is absolute bullshit. It really fuckingg affected my mental health and its so horrible this shit still goes on.

    ED thoughts never really go away. i’ve been able to learn to tell myself that those thoughts and feelings aren’t good for me and cause me harm, of course there are times where they are too strong and this content adds to that not only for myself but other people. stay safe, stay hydrated and take care of yourself they best you can

    My friend when I was 14 asked a guy out and he denied her laughed and called her fat... the shit I watched her go through after that was heartbreaking. I was living with her family and the bulimia is where it started.. few month later I came home one night and found her with her wrist slit in the tub.. absolutely horrible and she had a lot of support and a lot of people who loved her and wanted to help.

    This earned a sub for sure. These kinds of things are prevalent in the young male population as well but looking back at the era I grew up in the early 2000s it seems insane how normalized this stuff was for young women. A literal reality show where the prize was a full body plastic surgery transformation seems like a fever dream now but was hardly questioned at the time. Also another where women would walk on stage in front of a panel of judges that essentially bullied the contestants to their face about everything wrong with their body.

    I used to be a part of this mommy group on facebook....i had two c sections 11 months apart from each other without giving myself the proper time to heal so when i lost the weight i ended up with a lot of loose skin that just sits there and does nothing no matter how much i workout, eat right, its there. While i was in the mommy group it was so grotesque how the moms treated each other from making fun of their bodies, stretch marks, scars, issues after delivery or if they didnt dress a certain way, they would also post pictures of their "bounce back" after having kids saying they're a "skinny legend" its fine if you're posting update pictures like before pregnancy/after pregnancy but my god they took it and stretched it too far with hate and wanderlust for being thin...

    I struggled with an ED from around 12 to when I got pregnant with my daughter at 22. I’ve only relapsed a couple times and she’s five now. I’m very proud of it. But when I was deep into it I was SUPER active on pro ana forums. I struggled with bulimia and I still have a hard time, I will always have to fight it off once in a while. It’s such a monster. It’s 2023 now and this type of content should be moderated.

    As a black skinny/average sized girl in black culture usually having curves in the right places like big breats, hips,butt,thighs with a small waist is desirable as you can see in media like Hip hop and due to being called “not a real black girl” I later got body dysmorphia and started stuffing my breasts at 13 yrs old and eating more than I could handle it’s very different seeing the other side in white/asian media where you just have to be skinny with a figure
    Btw I’m now in like my senior year and have learned that it’s all just temporary even our body’s so who cares what people think we’re not gonna be looking this way forever and the people who actually love you could care less about your body as long as you’re healthy💞💓

    What I’ve really tried to come to terms with is the “why” I’m trying to lose weight. I’m actually completely fine with the weight I’m at right now, but I went on a very easy hike with a friend the other day and was completely winded. So now I’m working on endurance. I also do yoga and other core exercises because I have back problems and working on my core will help in between chiropractor visits
    I’m doing my best on what my body can “do” and not what it looks like. That’s not to say that people shouldn’t be proud of their bodies! It’s just how I personally have come to feel about my own, so there’s no unattainable goal that I keep trying to achieve

    TikTok influenced my brain through those videos which led me to the situation I’m in now. Yes, I was always not pleased with my body since a young age but I managed to live through it until my summer break started. I wanted to change for the good because I saw so many videos and I thought that if I follow them, I’ll look exactly like them. Once summer break started, I couldn’t stop counting my calories, weighing myself every single time after I used the toilet, always labelling food as “bad” or “not good for me” etc. Thats went on for a while till now. It only gets worse. It only leads you to an ED which nobody should go through. I’m just a young 15 year old teenage girl. I never wanted to go through something so hard! You have to think about it, some even might lose their friends through all this shit that your going through. I almost came to that stage that I never had time for my friends and family because I was too obsessed with looking prettier then everyone until I realised that I’m just not on the right path this moment.
    I’m begging for whoever is reading this, don’t let them take over you and control you. Everyone is beautiful in their own kinda way- sure, it’s maybe hard to understand because we don’t look like them, but that’s not the point. The biggest part is that we should all be beautiful from the inside! That’s the important part❤️ And I’m sorry for the ones that are going through something like this. Please, talk to someone you trust about this- if not a therapist. You should not let TikTok brainwash you at all into thinking Ed’s are good. Never.

    Massive respect to you Katie for putting out this content. As much as I enjoy your deep dives into the ludicrousness of Elphaba and the arch no*ce Paul Breach etc this one is such an important topic to cover. My daughter, when she was in her teens suffered from an ED that very nearly hospitalised her as she bought into so many fads and quick fixes pushed by absolute charlatans. Thankfully she is so much better now and she has a healthier relationship with food and is more accepting of herself. It was a horrible time and if you can reach anyone with your truths about these total shitbags who prey on the insecurities of susceptible individuals then more power to you. Keep up the good work girl, your words of wisdom are needed and much appreciated.

    I appreciate you saying that wanting to lose weight is fine because it is, I'm slightly overweight/chubby so I'm on a diet where I fast two times a week (it's 0-500 calories on a fast day but I can't be bothered to count so I just don't eat) and when I had access to scales I was losing weight at a healthy rate. So there are healthy diets.

I struggled for years with an ED and it was down to social media and the competitiveness of it. A while i saw two women who were using NG tubes, medical devices in order to lose weight and it honestly made me so sad. Its also so sad seeing some PTs harbour such a bad relationship with scales and making it a way of dealing with weight and if you see the number go uo it means to restrict more and more

    I started having ED issues at 14 because of my really shitty ex boyfriend. I was SKINNY!!! I was UNDERWEIGHT!!! And I STILL thought I needed to lose weight. I was obsessed with certain “look” I wanted to achieve. I have permanent damage to my body because of the things I did to “lose weight”. I hid it from everyone, for years. I wish that I had opened up and I wish I hadn’t fallen into this bullshit. Honestly, mine wasn’t even to the point that other peoples gets too. But I still have permanent issues that are worsened because of that history. Like stomach and intestinal problems, joint problems, etc. which all can be caused/worsened by malnutrition. I wish I had someone like you who had said these things to me. Thank you. Nobody deserves to hate themselves so much that they slowly kill themselves to be what they think will make them “better”.

    First, I'm so glad you are covering this.

Small twitch. CHEMICAL FREE? So... the bottle is empty? Well, no. Even oxygen is a chemical. Nitrogen. Carbon dioxide. EVERYTHING IS CHEMICALS. And as for natural. So is horse shite and arsenic. Those products should be banned just for bring made by people either too stupid to be trusted to handle making a bed let alone into a lab or a factory. OR they are utter shysters who know what they are doing and know it's wrong and are preying on people who don't know better. I'm assuming mix of the two. It might sound like a small thing, but slapping natural and chemical free on crap makes it even more alluring to people trying to find that magic bullet that will fix everything. BEcause, after all, it's "natural". These products, ads and idiots online pushing are are vile. TikTok is a pit.That is killing people with this crap.

    6:41 like you said before in the video, this one or the one I just watched TikTok will remove your videos fast. I’ve had them remove mine. I’ve heard have heard a lot of people that I know or either I watched your content and they’re usually telling the truth. They hate truth tellers all the apps hate true tellers, but it seems only if you do something outrageous or extreme is the only way you get anywhere on TikTok and then since they let you buy with so much for so long these people seem to get real comfortable and then boom just pulled out. U2 will pull the rug out or way quicker and I don’t care how much money you’re pulling in look at some of the big names they’ve drew off and have left off or left them in monetized. Yeah you too still makes add money on their content. I mean they don’t have to leave it up there but I know I I want to erase my work. So basically, if you’re putting “” normal “ content up on TikTok you have more chance of me being then if you put up stuff that’s against the rules until they decide enough is enough and I believe that’s already happened to CLR I’m not sure. I’ve been not well the last couple days.

    I have always been up and down with my weight. I look back at photos from when I was younger and thought I was overweight but I really wasn't...I have always been tall and so was larger in general. I developed an unhealthy relationship with food, I tend to binge a lot, particularly when I have a bad day with my journey to become healthier.
    Also, with my healthy eating and exercising - I could see I lot weight but when I weigh myself, I'm the same weight, which then leads me to become disheartened and binge - I would get obsessed with numbers (I now no longer weigh myself, I go by eye and how I feel within myself.)
    At school, my thin friends always used to call themselves fat, which is horrible that they feel that way but also made me feel shit because it was like "if you're fat, what am I?".
    Such an awful thing for people to go through, any and all EDs are horrible! The fact people push that narrative to capitalise off our lack of health. It's so sad.

    As a former ED of the too small variety, I tried EVERYTHING sold to me as weight loss, now I have trouble with my intestines. I went the other way and ate too much when emotional, and started doing the vomiting ED, now I have extremely sensitive teeth. At 29 I finally started dealing with everything, and I now eat what I want and exercise when I can or want to, and I have therapy. Nothing in a can or a drink can sort out what is going on in your brain, no matter what weight you get to. And there are worse things than being fat.

    I was obese, 40 kilos over weight. Innever dieted, I just ate a lots of protein fruits vegetables and nuts and seeds and suitable carbs.
    I was bombarded with both "fruits are full of sugars so are carrots" blah blah as well as ED accusations.
    Questions if I used weight loss drugs.
    Not one person but my uncle (who is a former body builder) had the sense to understand I did this healthy way.
    I have good muscle defenition I need strength in my work.
    Really opened my eyes to the madness that is around the culture of loosing weight especially for women either it's always bad to loose weight it MUST be unhealthy (no wonder when this is the mainstream of idea of it) or the other extreme that you neee to be a puritant.
    Just eat enough and lots of nutrient filled whole foods, have treats every now and then, be active keep your body healthy.
    It means both not eating garbage and too much as well as fueling your body enough.
    The weight loss was not hard or the muscle building but the bombardment of bs that came from every direction.
    Filtering all that out made me succeed to live in a healthy body.
    Makes me sad that diet culture has devided people in these unhealthy camps of extreme skinny admirerers and fat activists.

    There was this girl at school who would send my friend messages of all the calories in her food that she ate that day. She did this for so long, she started to develop an Ed. She would skip lunch and was so depressed. I wish no one to go through anything like this because it’s a horrible situation to be in. Don’t listen to beauty standards of others and social media. And love yourself, because if you do you will become a happier, healthier person. ❤

    I narrowly avoided developing an ED because I dated someone who had one at a time when I was considering just skipping meals. Honestly, seeing what it did to her was awful. she was insecure, lightheaded, drained, overly emotionally literally every day. there are so many healthier ways to lose weight, at this point in my life I've been going to the gym and eating more protein for 4 months and the difference is already insane. At the very least, just not posting about them would so easily reduce the amount of people with them, thanks for calling this out

    I had an issue due to bullying that turnt into me hating my size and weight I was skinny so I did everything I could to be heavier and bigger because I thought I would be “stronger” thankfully I’m not in that state of mind and am happy with my current weight which is considerably more but I am 24 now and not a teenager when I was skinny thinking that was a problem
    Obviously I look at all these anti weight things and they look stupid and obviously made of BS
    But I even at 1 point was impressionable and young it’s crazy there too many of these companies taking advantage and not enough people actually calling them out
    So good on ya doesn’t matter the size of the platform having more people call it out and actually describe why these don’t work is amazing good job to ya!

    Sidenote: I think it would be cool if you did a video or even a series of videos educating/debunking myths or misconceptions from tiktok, in the style you did this video.
    Not the big things that everyone talks about(dont eat tidepods, dont jump off speedung boats), but more regular things like THIS that go mostly unchecked. Balance the bulls**t!

    I'm excited to see where you go from here 😊

    My ED started because I was being bullied by my teacher in primary school. It was my coping mechanism but along with me clearly being depressed and have an ED I was too young to have depression said the professionals and blamed my parents claiming they were force feeding me and got child protective services involved. It took until I was 18 to hear for the first time I had an ED and not comfort eating or some other term not addressing what it is. In part to my Nan getting dementia and then shortly after dying only last year things spiralled and it was like a switch in my head that would usually turn off by itself when it would flare up over the years this time it wasn’t going away and the weight I was putting on I knew if I didn’t try to do something I’d die. I’m currently getting help from the weight management team and it’s not been easy but from august til now I’ve managed to lose 24.4 kg and will be starting therapy about my ED in January aswell which I’ve never done before. Thank you for making this video, it’s in part seeing things like this that made me believe losing weight wasn’t doable, it seemed far fetched. It’s such harmful bullshit if you don’t know the right information

    I've struggled with ed my whole life. I was 90 lbs at my lowest and I still wasn't happy. I couldn't sit comfortably on chairs because my spine hurt and I still thought I was too big. I had a thigh gap and I still thought my thighs were too fat. It is a mental illness, it is not the way, food is fuel, I used to only eat apple sauce and that's it, my hair was falling out, I want happy, I wasn't looking forward to anything but the numbers on the scale, and even then I would ve terrified if I hadn't lost anything. It is important to feed yourself, eat what makes you happy, what makes you feel good. Do some exercises, keep your body moving, do stuff that's fun for you, to be strong, not skinny. Take care of your brain, of yourself. Food is an amazing part of our life. Take care of yourself.

    I'm way too thin because of medical conditions, but i know I'm too thin so i do everything i can to spread the message that I'm not healthy and no one should strive for this. When i was running for congress, I'd wear 2 or 3 layers of clothes to mask it. I heard too many teenage girls praising my weight that i stated speaking out against it in hopes that someone would listen. We can't praise unhealthiness in any form, whether too big or too thin. The idea should just be 'healthy'.

    I wish you would’ve put the measurements in feet and inches to now I have no idea how tall these people are. I don’t even know if I can figure that out. (I will try. ) I’m not good at math that is not my forte. You give me a different subject but I can’t do math. I can count money and I can make change because I worked in a couple of grocery stores (but next time try do that please). I’m sure others would appreciate it too and if there’s another system out there that’s popular in many countries maybe put the third one up there also. Isn’t that a shame. I don’t even know how many metric systems are use 🥰

    I got really sick with a stomach problem and infection in my esophagus. It caused me a lot of unprovoked retching and sickness, even on an empty stomach.
    To the point I would eat the food I want and enjoy and still feel sick to the point I’d throw up in restaurant bathrooms to feel better and try and finish my meal. Smells and everything would overwhelm me and make me feel even more sick even though I still wanted to enjoy my meal. Sometimes I’d be so excited to go get some food then take a few bites and feel anxious, full and overwhelmed and not want to tell anyone incase they judged me or assumed I have an ed.
    It was never textbook Ed but I still struggle a lot of the traits of purging without the binging and I don’t even know why it does make me worry about it subconsciously. I lost a lot of weight and people always commented on it like it was a positive even though nothing I experienced was fun

    I work in a small business vitamin supplement company and we don’t give any health advice! It’s written on all packages that they are not food replacement and MUST be taken with a meal, and if there are any health issues with a customer, we advise they talk to a doctor before consuming! I’m not the healthiest of people and I’m definitely overweight, but I’m not judged by the people I work with!

    I feel like the only way to prevent harm from ED content is to just not engage with it and post the opposite without bringing attention to it. I’ve been doing better the last handful of months but even content like this is triggering and is the only reason I watch, and I’m sure other sick individuals. Knowing the risks and everything makes it more appealing for some. Very very difficult topic. Everyone participating in the behaviors should keep their accounts private so it doesn’t influence kids, cause I swear it never goes away once it enters.

    I think regardless if someone has dealt with an ED themself, they should be able to talk about it. Coming from someone currently struggling, nobody wins from people staying quiet. My bf doesn’t have an ED but he talks to me about mine regularly to make sure I’m doing alright and he doesn’t need to step in. I’ve had lots of friends who’ve never struggled with their eating who’ve talked lots both on and offline about EDs because it’s either something that interests them or something that concerns them. It’s crazy that people say you can’t speak on this stuff if you haven’t dealt with it. Sure people who’ve struggled, and especially those who are recovering or in remission have a very special perspective on it that no one else can have. But that doesn’t mean we silence everyone else.

    Drinking apple cider vinegar has been shown to help blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetics. I do similar to what she recommended. I make tea with a lemon and honey flavored chamomile tea bag and then add 1 to 2 tablespoons of ACV. I actually really enjoy the taste that way. But yeah it's not going to make you lose weight lol
