Have an amazing day everyone ❤️ please comment your tips/ experience for others to read through! Spread the message ✨ happy is healthy queensssssssss!
I cannot thank you enough for this video. I am truly speechless. I have had an eating disorder for so long and now when I was on my road to recovery people started commenting on my weight. One person even compared me to my mom and said I should loose weight I might look prettier. And that sent me down towards that same path again that I fought with my life to get out of. This video and you normalising weight gain and negating any negativity attached to it and food helps more than I can explain. I always try to comment on your videos when I watch them to tell you that I appreciate you and your videos so much. They have saved me. I am truly indebted to you. I love you Leila. Thank you !!!
All the love Amal ❤️ I also can’t Thankyou enough for your support! Every comment means the world and not one unnoticed xx
Can’t put into words how much I value this vid ♥️ I’m a gal in anorexia recovery in pretty intensive treatment and it’s seriously tough to follow the meal plan and accept the need to get back to a ‘healthy’ weight and hearing you normalise weight gain and self love has really hit home. Thank you Leila xxx
Honestly sending all the love sista!! Thankyou so much for watching Orla! ❤️
Exactly!
Currently in intensive treatment for anorexia, gaining weight. Thank you so much for this video. I am absolutely FED UP of living life controlled by the scales and calories. You inspire me.
it really broke my heart when you were talking about your mum :( I’m lucky that my mum never commented on my body when I was a bit chubbier, but I think parents don’t realise that criticising your body and calling you ‘skinny’ can be just as bad, and to be honest it didn’t make me want to recover it just made me feel bad about myself
That video really brought me to tears, Leila. While our experiences are very different, I related to so many things you said - parents commenting on my body, checking myself out constantly, avoiding social events, missing out on so many fun times with my loved ones, losing my period...
Thank you for being so honest about your journey. I'm so glad UA-cam brought me to your channel.
❤️❤️ that sent shivers through my spine!!! Allll the love angel!! Always here if you need a chat x
I‘m so glad that you posted this video!❤️ I love that you’re so open about! Thank you for your amazing words!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for always being honest and open and just sharing this and a great person and always preaching kindness and love above all else💗having been here since the beginning and seeing your growth and I don’t mean physically, I mean mentally, spiritually and just how your life has become so much happier and filled with opportunities and great things is an inspiration and just giiiiirl you got me all emotional. I love you and so happy you’re much happier now, not saying everything is peachy and easy and you always wake up happy cause you’re only human, but generally so much happier 💗💗
i really hope this video reaches the people that need it - keep going queen
You absolute queen ❤️, Im still on such a journey with food and watching your video and how you mended your relationship with food helps me realise its important to notice the progress we make because we usually ignore that, so thank you, keep inspiring xx
This is going to be so unbelievably helpful for SO many people. Here for people like you. ❤️❤️❤️
Thankyou savannah ❤️
your videos are really helping me through ed recovery so thank you❤️i can relate a lot to your comments on body checking and i personally find it helpful to try to focus on everything your body can do rather than what it looks like (hug and help others, carry groceries etc.)🙈
Omg I’m so proud 🥲 and happy for you gorgeous girl. I have gained so much more respect ✊ for you now than I did months ago when I felt you were triggering and handling yourself
YOUR AMAZING 🤩
The perfect time of year for this video
You are really something amazing !
You are the mirror of this society !
Is not easy to speak like you do ...
Such an example you are !

Thank you, Leila❤️ you’re a star🌟
Absolutely loved this. Thank you❤️
Thank you for being brave and overcoming your eating disorder because it sure isn’t easy. Thank you for showing that there is so much more to life than how one looks. It makes me emotional to see how happy and free you are now. I’m so proud and happy for you. I’m truly inspired. Your videos and overall vibe make me smile every time. ❤️
Thankyou aura ❤️❤️

Thankyou Leila 🥺 What I and im sure so many others needed to hear 💟 A real inspo, cannot thankyou enough and emphasise how much discovering you has changed my perception of food and life! Eternally greatful x
Alllll the love queen ❤️
You truly are an inspiration Leila! I found your channel through a 10,000 calorie challenge and found it very refreshing as it wasn’t just full of fast food! Have watched every video since, and have often thought of the advice you give about enjoying food when your out and not worrying so much as one day won’t make a massive difference ☺️ forever grateful xx
I love this sosososoooo much angel!! Thankyou for following along with my journey xx
Great video!! Everything you said makes so much sense and it's good that you've reached a stage where you're content now :')
you're one of the most genuine people I've seen on the internet! Thank you!
🥺❤️ Thankyou so much angel xx
Thank you so much for talking about this! Discovering your channel has had such a positive influence on my (and probably many other people’s!) relationship with food & fitness! 💕🎄
Thankyou so much ❤️❤️
what a strong and inspiring woman !! i’ve been following you for years now so i’ve seen you change and i’ve seen you grow - i’m so proud of how far you’ve come and i hope that you know how much you positively impacted my life. 🤍
Thankyou sososososo much Valentina ❤️
I would also avoid social events if there was food involved and because of that, I wasn't able to hang out with my uni friends, when the pandemic happened I missed them terribly, and became honest and told them about my food and body issues. Now we have a weekly video chat checking on each other and sometimes we bring food while chatting basically the whole night.
i can´t thank you enough, i have been watching you for a while and seeing you open up about your unhealthy past behaviours and obsessions makes me admire and respect you more. you are brave and good enough. grateful for you.
hopefully i will meet you soon.... greetings from Ecuador 🥺💕
Thankyou so much angel xxx
wow!!! Most helpful weight gain video I have yet seen. Thank you a million! You are so encouraging in the best way to so many impressionable people. You should be so proud of your own journey and your impact on the lives of those around you
Thankyou Emily ❤️❤️❤️
Hey Leila! I cannot tell you how much this video means to me since( and how much it has really hit home) I'm kinda going through what you did. I struggle everyday with all these food thoughts and am trying to work on it by telling myself it'll be fine. Your videos have been helping me from being so positive and supportive by sharing what you've worked through and overcome. I love how you try to connect with your viewers by sharing bits about your life. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction❤️
I appreciate you so much girl! Sending all the love and Strength xoxo
Leila this video is exactly what i need i love this so much. Just made myself a nutella cappucino to celebrate life, i am proud
Hey love! I’ve been following you on an off for two years now. I first subscribed to you back in 2019, but then later I unsubscribed because I felt that I got trigger3d, but at the start of this year I re-followed you again and I’m so happy I did. AND i’m so happy to see YOU HAPPY,healthy and truly enjoying life. Thank you for being so real and honest. Sending you so much love❤️❤️❤️
Thankyou so much angel xxx

Allllll the love and hugs Marianna ❤️❤️

Thankyou so much Isobel!! Really means the world 💖✨
thank you so much for this video. it’s sooo helpful 💕💕
I finally got the chance to watch this video last night and I really wanted to comment but thought I'd do it in the morning. One, I know you probably heard this a lot (I don't know you personally) but I am very proud of how far you've come. Two, for a while, at the very beginning, I wasn't following you on insta nor youtube, but I kept checking your profile every now and then and to be honest, I wasn't really fond of you. Three, I started seeing bit by bit how you were being more outspoken about things, especially your eating disorder/weight gain journey, and I really resonated with what you had to say so I decided to follow you once and for all. So, I'm always eager to see those videos of your journey and to witness your growth (it has also helped me along the way as I struggled as well). I must admit your content just got better and better, you seem more happy and you give out these joyful vibes and I am impressed of how you manage things given your busy lifestyle (because of you, I am managing my time pretty well now with a full time job + trainings & social outings). I love your content and I hope you continue doing it with this much dedication & love! Sending you many hugs & kisses✨💖
Omg!! Really gave me the shivers this!! Thankyou so much! I really do appreciate it sosososooo much! Because I can honestly say my world has been flipped upside down!! ❤️✨
Unrelated to ur always incredible videos, your voice when singing is 10/10 sissy!!!!!! You go queen
Thankyou angel ahaha xx
Thanks so much this video was much needed!! ❤️
I totally needed this It was like a chat with a big sis ❤❤
❤️❤️❤️ love this!! All the love girl
Love this video! Thank you. Keep those vibes high!
Hey Leila , I have been a long time subscriber and our stories are so similar… I have also had an undiagnosed eating disorder which is something my parents still do not understand… I however am fully indebted to you because I figured I had body dismorphia and an eating disorder by watching your videos .. am going to therapy on my own and I owe my life to you … I am still not perfect and I still eat a bit restrictively but I no longer calorie count which is still I win i hope … one day I hope I can be as free and accepting of myself as you are .. I however did not lose a lot of weight so when I had to gain it back it is becoming a lot more difficult but I hope one day I can accept myself . Thank you so much girl … much love from India ❤️❤️🥺🥺
awww i am so proud of you!!!! been following you since the start and i love how you "glowed up". i can relate to much to you and your growth, how you feel now, fills my heart with joy and hope and you inspire me so much to live my best foodie life! lots of love from cold and snowy austria 🥰❤
P.S.: virtually sending you some of our snow 😆❄
Thankyou so much Antonia ❤️
So you helped me recently buy and eat a donut of my choice and I bloody loved it! Thank you it’s only baby steps! Xx
YOU GOOOO SISTAAAAA ❤️❤️❤️
And the most amazing part was it was the first time me and my 7 year old daughter was able to do
This together 😍 thank you I want to be a positive role
Model to her.
Such an important video; thank you so much for your honesty and your message. You're so valuable!!
Alllllll the love Marie!! Have a lovely day xxxx
@@Leilahannoun Thank you! Have a lovely day as well! 😊
I do attend social events because I don't want to miss them but i feel very very bad the days after if I've eaten too much. It's very hard to end the cycle of restriction- binging. The other day two people i haven't met for one month told me my face looked more rounded and that i looked good but in my head the only thing that i heard was that i was fat and i had gained too much weight. They have made me feel very bad even though they intended to make a compliment.
this is the best way to start the week ❤️🌇 have a amazing day
Thankyou so much jule ❤️
When I was 11 or 12, if someone commented my body I used to stop eating for a couple days, long story short that's how I developed an eating disorder for the last 16 years. Now I'm 28 and even tho I workout and I try my best to eat healthy, sometimes when I'm particularly stressed or overwhelmed I still binge eating, I cannot say I am completely out of my ED, but one thing I learned in the past few months is that you body is the reflection of your soul. I've never felt this beautiful, even tho I haven't my dream body. I still workout but now I mainly do it because I enjoy how it makes me feel (let's be honest here: lifting plates makes you feel such a bada$$ bich 🤭) and when I see you getting so honest about your past it makes me understand that sizes are not that important. The body you had a couple years ago was my dream body for a literal decade. But you weren't happy, as much as I wasn't. Now you have an amazing body, an amazing soul and we're both recovering from our intrusive thoughts. I am proud of me for understanding that and I am proud of you Leila, because saying those things out loud, recording and putting them online can be the hardest thing to do. You're brave and you deserve everything good it's happening to you.
Such a helpful and insightful video. ♥️
Really appreciate your video .. you’re a big inspiration..
Just want to say, gaining weight doesn’t have to be “in a positive way” .. there is no judgement on people gaining weight through just enjoying food and life.. the other thing is you said you haven’t struggled with binge eating; so many people that have experienced restriction experience the opposite and that’s totally normal and totally fine. If people need to eat a large quantity of food after a period of restriction, that’s totally valid and most importantly; necessary ~ if that’s what your mental and physical hunger is telling you.
I love that you promote a lifestyle of movement, abundance, enjoying life and working hard.. it’s so beautiful and your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed 💗
Also WOW your final words were so incredibly touching 💗
Thankyou Caitlin! I really appreciate this!! X
A true inspiration. ❤️❤️❤️
Thankyou so much Ellie ❤️ have a wonderful day x
You are lovely and this is so helpful to so many. x
Thankyou so much Sam!! Have a wonderful day xx
Happy Xmas 🎄
Can’t wait for u to come here in Australia
I wld love ❤️ to meet you
Beautiful video! You've come such a long way.
My mom and one of my grandma used to comment on my body all theeeee time 😑
The photo of your BF 😂
Thankyou so much angelina xx
33:30 good for you Leila, so happy for you
Fav way to start my monday
All the love holly ❤️
This ones deep 🙌🏾
I'm so proud of you Leila. Continue that way. You are realy beautiful like that. You look more like a women and not like a chield. Love you and take good care xox!
Bless you! Beautiful soul✨
I do have a question for you.. Until now I’ve seen a lot of professionals/therapists that didn’t really work on the food part because they were convinced that once the underlaying issues gets resolved the eating struggles will dissapear as well.. But I haven’t really noticed that.. Do you think it’s necessairy to work around the food struggles themselves? I would really love to hear your opinion on this 🙏🏻💓
❤️❤️ I relate to this hanne! When I did see a dietician and professionals, they made little progress! But like I say, it’s the voice within you and the strength that really helps you! Reflect and analyse x
💕😀xx thanks Leila. I’ve had an eating disorder for 50 yrs. so accept that at 66 I’m not going to change that, but found this vlog really useful. Lots of love❤️
Alll the love sue ❤️ Thankyou for watching!!
Can totally relate to the parents making comments…always considered myself to b a fat beast unworthy of feeling “ normal “ or loved from about age of 5… went on a “ life changing diet” at 12 and was determined to loose weight which I did but spent 20 yrs stuck in anorexia and binging and restricting and over all horrible and nightmarish life ..I’m 47 now and ok but still am concerned and controlled but in a more healthy way if that makes sense .comments are v dangerous
Hi love , have a lovely day💕😍
Thank you for this video. I needed it. You helped me so much with this. I have anorexia and right now I am on the start of my recovery but the last days was...it wasn't good. I was often hungry but said to me that I don't can. And I did much sport. But you helped me and I realize that I have to change something. So..i will go and eat a Joghurt even if I eat 'enough' (i only eat 1000. Ik it isn't enough)
Thankyou Josephine! You’re worth the world and more ❤️❤️
❤❤❤
🙏❤️
Go guuuuurl
Alll the love Annabel ❤️
Girl you really help my brain when it tells me no I put your video's on and the old part of my brain gets drowned out like over the weekend I had a best friends birthday I ate their birthday cake slice when offered and a few chocolates too, we all did they know I struggled with anorexia in my mid teens and ten years on through treatment I know it's all about balance that's natural to enjoy life in the week I eat mainly fruit and veg and nothing sweet all about balance I hope one day my brain learns it's fine to have a treat guilt free 👏🙌💖🍓🍫🎂 I do wish I like other festive eat and drink out options I only like hot chocolate! 😂🙈🎄
That makes me so happy 💖💖 I hope you enjoyed that birthday cake sissssssssssta ✨✨
Hi Leila! Did you heal your amenorrhea completely vegan? I am being told this isn’t possible for me! Also did you go all in? 2500 calories minimum and no exercise for any period of time? You are so inspiring :) I have gained 20 lbs in the last few months with your help! thank you !
Heya lovely! Yes I did and it’s completely possible - honestly it was a journey and I didn’t have any medical assistance because tbh the doctors were useless! It truly is about eating more to fuel your bod and not over training! It doesn’t mean eliminating exercising - because ultimately it’s great for your bod! But in times like this, it’s important to reduce the amount than previously 💖🫶🏼 it does take time but I’m sure you’ll gain it back Emily with a lot more confidence and lvoe for your body! Have a lovely week :) xx
In regards to your mums comments did she also do it to your over siblings or was it just more towards you (past / present ) if not too personal and you feel comfortable discussing further
It was mainly at me 😅 because everyone else had quite normal habits with their eating patterns xx
I looooove yooou
So much love for you angel ❤️❤️
you should read Beauty Myth by Naomi Wolf
I think it is so important to never comment on someones body EVER. family or friend or strange..NEVER. If there is a concern there are far better ways of approaching it! dont you think? you can do so much damage with comments to peoples size. SO much damage.
10000%
No hate but, aren’t masks mandatory in places such as starbucks?
Nope that was filmed before the rule xx
@@Leilahannoun hahah okay brill! okay was just super curious xx
Ps just a lil note - you often say ‘messages from girls’ & refer to girls struggling with weight gain etc but it’s something that many others not just girls struggle with so maybe using more gender neutral language would be helpful x
That’s true!! Apologies for that Orla! I do consider those my demographic, which 85% off my following is women. However I do understand that point! Thankyou xxxx
