- Everybody said she was a winner
No one knew the secret kept within her
Starving for perfection
Hating her reflection
She tries harder than the average teen
An over achiever with low self esteem
Wants to look like a star, but she takes it too far
She's Never Good Enough
Wants to be Mary-Kate
Perfect weight, eighty-eight
She's Never Good Enough
Now her friends know all about her problems
They all try their best to help her solve them
She feels like she's on trial
But she's still in denial
She tries harder than the average teen
An over achiever with low self esteem
Wants to look like a star, but she takes it too far
She's Never Good Enough
Wants to be Mary-Kate
Perfect weight, eighty-eight
She's Never Good Enough
Who's in control now
Who's in control now!
Everybody said she was a winner
No one knew the secret kept within her
She tries harder than the average teen
An over achiever with low self esteem
Wants to look like a star, but she takes it too far
She's Never Good Enough
Wants to be Mary-Kate
Perfect weight eighty-eight
She's Never Good Enough
She tries harder than the average teen
An over...
To all those people who are posting wts and goal wts, I'm sure most of you are young and no doubt have no real idea of what this disease will take from you. I'm sure you have seen every video on here about eating disorders, movies included, but I promise you it is nothing like that. I was fifteen when I started restricting, by 18 I was forced into my first residential treatment center. I gained wt, did what I had to get out and get to college. Never even made it past my first semester because I was hospitalized and force fed with a tube down my nose...spent the next four years in and out of hospitals being force fed, losing all my friends and family who were still there at that point because it was just too much for them, and I was nothing but a walking eating disorder who couldn't tell you the truth if you wanted it. By the time I was able to beat my eating disorder and recover at twenty three I had destroyed my body. I am twenty eight years old and need a intestinal transplant if I want to live to see my kid grow up. I am fed through IV lines, and all for what...the number on the scale? I'm lucky because quite a few of my friends from the hospital are dead...that is where it ends up, and the only one that will save you in the end is you.
Thank you for posting this. Thank you for being open and honest. Thank you for telling people that this is NOT the road they should want to go down.
It's so upsetting when I see people posting how they WANT to be able to "follow the lifestyle" of an eating disorder. How they want to become like that because they "just want to lose weight". As if this is some sort of diet plan.. It's not. It's not something you choose to do and then when you reach you GW you just stop and move on. It's an illness.
I'm sorry you've been thru all that and I pray things get better for you :(
no.. i understand completely.. i just want to be skinny more than anything else..
***** it isn't worth it, and you are already beautiful the number on the scale doesn't define you. It took me so long to find recovery, to this day I do not know my wt and I like it that way. Life is full of beautiful things and adventures to find, and with an eating disorder you miss out in everything. I've always said there is a difference in living and simply existing. Existing is what I did with my anorexia, I had a pulse, too weak and tired for any adventures, too obsessed to talk about anything besides ED/numbers, and spent most of my time trying to die. Living is quite different...I'm a wife, a mommy, and I want to live and watch my son grow, be with my husband. Keep staying away from those behaviors, they suck your life away. You sound like an awesome person, if you ever start thinking you should skip meals or make yourself sick feel free to message me.
Thank you darlin for sharing this... it gives me hope und I wish you the best for you and your family. Stay strong honey... thank you for being so honest, I got tears in my eyes
Andrea Schneider That was motivational ❤️❤️❤️❤️
"She tries harder than the average teen, an overachiever with low self-esteem." Relatable in my life beyond words. Anyone else??
We're together in this
My mom doesn't believe I can lose weight at all..she puts me down about most things I want in life. I'm the oldest and the biggest mistake. I just want to graduate and be thin. Nothing more.
Same
I jut want to lose weight. The hardest part isn't the hunger, it's the fact that I know I'm scaring and worrying one of my best friends, but I'm sorry friend. I'm done..I want to be thin. I want to be happy
+Anna Breuer agree, having an ED even for a short time made me extremely depressed. I was counting down the days until I could die.
When someone my same height and age and they say there about 20 pounds lighter and there calling themselves huge kills me inside...it makes it worse
I agree.
'An over achiever with low self esteem'
Hey, look! Something that I understand...
this song sums up my life
Hey, just want you to know: you are good enough.
Shannon Benton same
It sucks when you feel fucking ugly and have nothing to live for but the man you love but everyone seems to talk about other females in their conversations to make you feel like a piece of shit am I right?...
I'm to nervous to even smile cause my teeth aren't in the best condition and I feel fat especially compared to those girls... it hurts, I just want to be beautiful even though I should be happy in my own skin I don't want to be judged anymore...
Edgelord911 You are beautiful and your imperfections make you perfect. Please never stop being yourself. No matter what anyone says about you, you are beautiful. So what you don't have the body of a model, own it! You are unique and amazing in you your own way!
Edgelord911 I know exactly how you feel because I feel the exact same way. We ARE good enough and we ARE more than a number and what we eat. Good luck with everything and I sincerely hope it gets better for you.
its scary that this song relates to me in all ways
this song describes me
Bridget McClung YOU are good enough❤️❤️ I hope one day you will look back on this is and see how horrible the words are and that you were wrong and this song is not you plz find some way of helping yourself ❤️
About ten years ago I was diagnosed with ednos and after I was hospitalized for it I made a fast recovery. The bad part is now I am not eating anything and drinking very little like today its 1210pm and I have had 12 oz of Brisk iced tea which comes out to be 80 calories which will be the only drink I allow myself until dinner time besides for water. I won't allow myself to eat today because I had dinner yesterday but depending on how I feel (if I have a head ache or not) I might allow myself something to drink. I love the fact that I am back into the disorder way of eating. It makes me feel like I have control of my life once again. However I have forgotten how much it hurts so I would like to ask anyone out there how do I take care of the pain and head aches? Please text me or message me.
I feel you sweetheart. I feel like a have control when I don't eat too. You would rather find a healthy diet or anything. But if you want the answer for your question, I would advice to drink water as much as you can and sleep well. If water doesn't work, try to take any pill to stop your headaches. Take care of yourself.
Jennifer Marie I feel you I was diagnosed with Bulimia Nervosa
XxKatey BitesxX i have/had anorexia nervosa i would have had bulimia too if i didn't have a bad gag reflex.
Sports drinks like Gatorade and water help with headaches, that and more sleep.
STARVING for PERFECTION
In trying
im on it
Anna Venzor no girls I am 17 got in this when I was 12 and that fact that I am here leavening this comment is great cuz that means I can tell you guys to stop. YOU WILL 100% regret this find another way for you to feel better but pretty sure when your my age wishing you had started dancing classes,did a sport,worked hard at school or what ever you feel this sense of loss don't miss out on things because of this crap that people post on the internet. YOUR REALLY GOOD ENOUGH!!!!! Your better then your self hate you Deserve to feel great ❤️❤️❤️
too late for an advice, sweety. But ty ;-;
Bigote Ruso no its. Or it's never to late I am getting better now these videos are cancer to people that are trying to be better and I just wish everyone would stop watching and help themselves get better like me it's wonderful to not be stuck in that Way anymore I just want you guys to know you don't have be like this for years to come you can feel better 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
everyone is saying how commenting your cw and gw and ugw's is triggering but what are you listening to this song for?
Because it's a good fucking song. I don't have any ED but it's a good fucking song, it's THAT easy
This was me for years, but I got help and am proud to say I've been in recovery for 3 months. It's hard. It's probably one of the hardest things you'll ever do, but it's worth it. To anyone struggling or also in recovery, your life is far too precious to be treating yourself like trash. You are better than Ana/ Mia !!! Stay strong
Agree I recovered for 10 years if severe anorexia and complex post traumatic stress disorder! Not severe osteoporosis!! Parting gift...
It's so sad to think that this song is the definition of my life that I live
this song is perfection.
"never good enough" story of my life...
I'm 14, and outpatient for anorexia nervosa started September 1st. I've always been a perfectionist, so giving this up is hard for me. I've been told that I'm sick enough to be in the hospital, and that's why I'm not resisting re-feeding. It's scary. Hell, recovery is the SCARIEST thing you will EVER have to do. It will scare you shitless, but I'm glad that I have a future. I'm going to go to a very prestigious school, and I will recover. No matter how hard this is, I'll be happy soon.
how have you been now?:)
this song describes me alot...and it really hits the heart, n describes a lot of people
"Who's in control now?"
Can't stop listening to this. I've been starving myself since yesterday. I ate some fruit tooday.. I just want to be thin.
I can totally relate to this. I suffer from bulimia with anorexic tendencies. I just want to be thin and beautiful! I want to be loved and accepted. Yet I don't find that. I am never good enough.
This is basically my life.I have tryed to lose weight by starving my self and working out w hours a day and when my friends found out of what I've been doing she tried so hard to help me
You are absolutely right! Everyone has some sort of struggle to go through at any given time in their life, and we should all learn to be more compassionate due to the fact that we all have problems with life and ourselves. I'm sure you are GORGEOUS! In the end weight is just a number that has been taken and blown up into some huge controversial lie. Don't let anyone make you feel inferior hun because they are rude, childish, inconsiderate, mean, and just plain wrong. You're so amazing as you!
This is my life exactly... every last word. My friends and family try to help but a lot of times they just make me feel worse, so I push them away. Then I get yelled at for shutting people out and accused of wallowing in my sorrow when I'm not. I'm just trying to better myself/get through the day inconveniencing as few people as possible! I am a perfectionist when it comes to myself and I know that but I can't stop. I cut myself, I hardly eat.. but I am never good enough (for me or anyone else).
how have u been now?:)
if you replace 'over' with 'under' this describes me perfectly
This song makes me feel good. I think of how sad I was and eating disorders and starving. this song makes me glad that I am free.
I'm purging after my meals and I can't stop it I'm dying inside !! :.(
I love this song
I was in all of your shoes once, and whenever someone said "Recovery is better", I just laughed. But recovering myself now, they were all right. It does get better! There is so much more to you, you are not just a walking eating disorder. Recovering isn't easy, but its worth it. Get help. You will feel more happier and alive in the long run! Dont give into ED now, try towards recovery...
I used to struggle with poor self esteem and tried cutting a few times, but then i actually opened my eyes and saw how much my friends needed me.
this sadly describes my life, september 3 diagnosed witha ED went thru ED counseling it helped I made progress,then i stopped going cause we agreed i was making progress ,well sadly now im not only after 1 month later after i stopped ED therapy back to not eating anything,it really is horrible to have a ED,I was fighting hard,then stress led back to not eating:(
watching this made me so emotional... this is like me and my life all over and over again. Always got the best grades and everyone expects so much of me and of my future. "Are you going to be a judge or a surgeon?" ...What if I fall in love and just want to raise a family around me and have a mediocre life and be happy? But then I'd feel stupid and dissappointed in myself because I have always been told I can do better than that... why is life so complicated?
I hate the way I look and I just want to be perfect to
wow.. this is an amazing song!!! amazing :)
I’m thinking of starting again
“No I swear I don’t have an ed I’m just starving myself”
“No it’s just disordered eating”
“Nah it’s just a diet”
Ahhggg!!! I need this on iTunes!!
I can't stop listening to this song. I'm 15, 5'8 and my weight is like 35Kg (77 Pounds I think) ... Hard to stop losing weight when you first have started.
How are you doing today?
@@ZekeBittersweet Ironically really well. I'm in a happy relationship, better about myself. 21 at this time and pursuing a degree in game design. While my life hasn't changed drastically, I'm far from that 15 year old mindset of having to be skinny. I am not a skinny little thing anymore but I'm happy in my skin. Thank you for asking!
@@NotAvailable2-l7x I'm glad to hear that!
This is basically everything I feel all the time. It's my life story..
Me: says I don't understand eating disorders
Also me: barely eats anything
Leah Varney barely eating isn't an eating disorder unless your starving yourself and only eating small portions.
THATS NOT AN EATING DISORDER. STOP SEEKING ATTENTION.
There's so much more than just "barely eating" smh
@@ghostingamethyst866 seeking attention? oml
@@thatonedepressedhmsgirl3380 Claiming to have an eating disorder when you don't have one is seeking attention
who else want to lose weight but it is so difficult?
anna ale Me.
anna ale me
anna ale me
As someone who has struggled with this for song long it speaks to me
"He who continues to trim himself down to please everyone, will soon whittle himself away to nothing..."
I started hating myself(look, personality,everything) in second grade(8-9 years old) First diet in the same year. But im like around 66 kilos (13year old BOY)
Mom: Claire eat please
Me: I'm not hungry.. in reality I'm starving but I I can't eat because of the calories.. I can't look at myself in the mirror with dad saying I need to lose weight. Maybe I'll be pretty.
I'm 20 years old 5'6" and I want to be 99 pounds. So I can be perfect in my dad eyes. And the people around me
Your dad sounds toxic. Please don't starve just for your dad, he may never think you're good enough but thats okey. You're good enough the way you are to the people who care about you.
You are good enough, everyone is. You just need to realize it!
this hit close to home
This song fits me perfectly
You guys are ALL GOOD ENOUGH❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This just sucks. I thought I had beaten my ED. Haven't had any trouble with it for years. Im getting married in three months, was alone at home tonight and thought I'd try on my wedding dress. It didn't fit. Next thing I know im doing 100 push ups, 100 sit ups, chugging a litre of water and then hanging over the toilet and now I'm watching this shit again. No offense to anyone. I just never thought I'd find myself back at these kind of videos.
You're not alone.. I wish you good luck.
OwnYourDance you're not alone :(
OwnYourDance I'm 22 years old now I'm engaged and I can only eat when I'm around him.... I thought ana left in high school, but it's a life long battle. You're not alone
Who decides that thin is beautiful? I think that having the heart to continue living your life with a smile even when you dont have the body you want is something harder to achieve, more respectable and, at least for me, more beautiful.
Perfect doesn't exist. Everyone is trying to accomplish the impossible. I'm the same way as you, but never be who you aren't. Fitting in isn't worth losing yourself. You need to find a way to love yourself, and it's really hard, but you can do! Never give up.
I need this song right now.
Never forget you are full of worth, potential and importance and you are a blessing. Be yourself and proud and care what nobody thinks
No one knew the secret kept within her
great song!
when i was 139 and was 5'5 , i wanted to become 110, when i finally reached that i want to become less, so i decide to become 100, now that i have reached it i want to be 88 it never stops getting lower and lower, please try doing it the healthy way
To most of the people post their weight and saying this song is relatable.... The girl in this song doesn't whine about her weight, she tries to change it. And succeeds. People finds out about her problem, she doesn't tell them. She tries harder than the average teen, therefore she doesn't say "I seriously need to lose weight. I hate my life." She just does it. And most of the people posting their weights are just trying to brag. You aren't fat. You just like people to think you think you are.
I have been dealing with ana for 4 years now but I still find myself wanting to go back sometimes :/ the pain never goes away!
SOMEBODY FINALLY SPOKE THE STORY OF MY LIFE.
EXACTLY How I feel..... My life's story in 3:33 seconds. All wrapped together with a catchy little tune.....
to all of you out there who think that they'll never be good enough: PERFECTION IS A MYTH!!! You have to learn to love yourself bcs. if you don't like who you are - how can somebody else like you? Would you give them the permission to? No, you won't because you're not able to accept what they say about you (gorgeous, pretty, best person they've ever met etc.) I know how hard that is, believe me I've been down on that road, too!
Gah. I love this song. Its so relatable..I seriously need to lose weight.
This song sums up my life perfectly.
This song describes me perfectly :/ my family expects me to be perfect so I'm always striving for perfection but I keep failing...
this song like explains my life.... :( .... good vid. thanks for postingg
At my school, music is how I get rated. And I've had two people this week say "You wouldn't know these songs." And she was popular. So now I'm trying to learn good songs.
this song is perfect
what people don't realize is that there's no such thing as perfect we are all beautiful and we all have great talents. we are all perfect in our own ways
Great song.
Eating disorders suck.
I was 86 pounds and flat! I am much better now.
H.O.P.E.
Helping Other People Eat (:
why isn't this song on itunes? what year did it come out?
It's not so well known. She's Canadian. That's how I know about it. (I'm Canadian lol)
absolutely amazing!
BEST SONG EVEEEER
i love this song :)
wow i really really love this song.. it's really good hah.. like the lyrics are awesome.
This says it all.
i love this song.
I ♥ this song
holy shit my life!!! legit those were my exact weights and that height. i got down to 113. but boy was it hard to lower it more then that and keep it there. once you get to that perfect weight (which normally never happens) and you eat normally again, you gain it all back. trust me... i'm now 126 so i gained two pounds
Awesome song
Love this song I just can't find it on iTunes!
I know right! This is way to awesome to not be on iTunes
this is awesome..
everybody want to change something about them self. I do to. I have struggled for 3 years now... It's not worth thinking like this. I relate so much to this song, because it's like I have said them myself. It won't stop bugging me inside and I can't ever go to sleep without thinking about what to do, best ways to be better/thinner, etc. It's eating you inside... you can't control an eating disorder, the eating disorder controls you.
Oh this song is my faveorite.
Damn I love it
this comment inspired me so much .. thank you. really, just thank you.
I love this song
This song speaks for me and I wish I was perfect I will be one day I know it
sorry for my rant:) love the song♥♥
Love this
This song is my life. No one cares too see how I'm doing. No one notices when I leave I'm never good enough and my friends don't see me. I'm not eating to get someone to look at me and help me
how have u been now?:)
that's how I feel.. I relate so much.
This explains everything.
I love this song. My goal weight keeps dropping but so does my weight..... Is that bad?
This song is all my life put into words
