A lot of critical comments here, some more helpful than others ... but all to be taken as serious care and concern. Demi, this is so hard. You are doing really well, and I know so well how difficult the struggle is to stay motivated, to keep pushing yourself, and to be honest (with yourself and with your subscribers). Remember that this is your life. The ED wants to kill you, and you have to fight like hell every day to overcome. Keep being your authentic self. I believe in you. In response to specific comments: keep adding calories, you need a lot more than you might think to really get things moving. The sooner you gain the weight, the better: scary! Some of these comments seem like a constructed reflection of what recovery looks like within a treatment setting. I think you should follow your own hunger and cravings more so than being conscious that meals and snacks should look like a certain thing ... Going all-in requires following you mental and physical hunger, not a meal plan or food guide. It's so difficult to remove all of the ingrained disordered habits surrounding portion sizes, calories, etc but we need to eliminate all of them to rewire. If you were to follow the rules that are ascribed by ED treatment meal plans you would just be replacing one set of rules for another. Try to let go of all those things and just listen to what your body is telling you. Your body wants to keep you alive. It would never tell you anything wrong or bad. Eat. Rest. Eat. Feel the fear and do it anyway. Have both. Do it all, babe. We love you xo
Thankyou so much honestly reading your comment has made me smile and everything you have said is extremely helpful and allows me to reflect and think about things 🤍
Well done on all the positive changes you have been making! I know lots of people in the comments are saying that your intake perhaps still 'isn't enough' for recovery - they mean well, even though it can be hard to hear! Maybe you and your body WILL need more food to get back to the best version of yourself, but know that any step forward is a good one. Sure, ultimately you might have to get to a certain intake each day, and in order to fully recover you will have to tackle all your disordered rules and thoughts, but it doesn't have to happen immediately. Maybe making bigger changes all in one go will help you recover faster but for some people that just isn't possible.
Thankyou so much for the lovely comment, so true it’s a journey and that sure does look different for everyone of us. Thankyou so much again sending all my love!!
Me and Demi have sever exercise addiction if ppl don’t suffer with both anorexia and exercise addiction you won’t understand but challenging both is insanely hard impossible all most so leave her alone she is trying her best to challenge both . She is using the videos for accountability and to educate and help ppl like me to not feel alone so if you don’t like it don’t follow her Please don’t take offence we are all struggling alone but been mean in the comments is not helpful really except you may push her to eat more so I guess that wud be beneficial maybe xx
so proud of you!! the progress you’ve made is so incredible and inspiring to watch, some of the comments don’t seem to realise that recovery is different for everyone!! your putting in so much work and it doesn’t go unnoticed! keep going demi ❤
Exactly. I know people not in recovery who have more than this. In recovery you need a minimum of 3000 calories a day. 3 ADEQUATE meals and snacks. An apple and peanut butter isn't enough for a snack. Two BIG spoonfuls of peanut butter and some pretzels or a bagel and a glass of milk is more like it. Or a cliff bar and banana and milk. Or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (with butter on the bread) and juice. Avocado toast with a FULL avocado and drizzle olive oil on top and a full portion of cheese, plus a dessert and a drink would be a better lunch. More granola too. Not just a spoonful. But a real cup full. It's hard work. To fight against your brain and body. But it needs to happen. Its not normal portions. It can't be. Or else it wouldn't work. More peanut butter in the oats. At least 3 times that amount. Oatmeal made with whipping cream. Drinks with meals. Desserts after meals on top of snacks. Full pints of ice cream etc. ❤❤
To the girl that I as 1 year ago today, she would not have been able to do any of the things shown in this video. Recovery looks different for everybody.
@@DemiproudmanDemi honestly the progress you’ve made and commitment you’re making in recovery is truly truly amazing and so genuinely inspiring. You’re capable of so much, and that includes pushing even more. Keep going, there’s a whole world of full freedom you’re getting closer to day by day, keep up the hard work you’re doing, this was meant as positive feedback only, just want the best for you and to give you the reassurance that recovery does look different for everybody but the one thing that is the same is a significant amount of true unrestricted eating with truly restorative nutrition, for body and mind. What you are having and doing is so positive, but for your reassurance, what you’re challenging and having is brilliant but when you’re concerned you’re having too much know that such a thing doesn’t exist in recovery. You can do this. Keep going.
That dinner looks so good! 🐟🤍

@@Demiproudman I think we're all rooting for you xo
In ed recovery you need 3 meals and 3 snacks and dessert so what you’ve had is sooo normal :)
Probably not even enough for restoration
I think you should definitely consider going all in.☺
If you feel comfortable
It does cross my mind I’m liking using it as a mindset rather than a label to my journey
You are doing so good!
Thankyou so much!!

Thankyou so much honestly your comment really means the world to me ❤️
I really like you and your videos but your intake doesn't scream recovery, maintaining maybe... please don't give the wrong message to your viewers...
Couldn’t agree more! Demi is making such progress but things like the feta portion are just not recovery based enough
