Some of us humans are weird. I've been close to death so many times that I can't even begin to count them, but some how I always come back! But, don't think it's fun. It's not! It's tormenting.
Alize B Kids always say stuff... I was bullied lightly about 3 years at primary school. Didn't really impact my life other than at school. As long as you have friends its totally manageable. If you don't have friends I can see it really impacting you, as only feedback you get is from bullies. Bullying is wrong but pretty normal.
I lost 80 pounds with my eating disorder. I was sick of being the fat friend, but within year I was the skinniest. I wouldn't eat, and when I had to I would throw it all up. I met my (now husband) boyfriend and he made me feel beautiful. I wanted to get better for him. I still struggled but I had improved. Then we decided to try for a family. I got pregnant the first month of TTC. Our little guy is due in August and I haven't purged once since I got pregnant. Seeing the numbers climb on the scale kills me. I know how tempting my old ways will be once he's born, but living that way just isn't an option anymore. I am a mommy now and my life will be lived for my family. 💕 helps me to watch other people's success stories.
***** You are an amazing woman!! Thinking of your child first. Being healthy for your family! You are going to be a wonderful mother! All the best for you and your growing family!!!!
It really pi**es me off that classmates would call a child in elementary school "chubby" and other nasty names. As a teacher of fourth and fifth graders for over 15 years, I can attest that before most children go through adolescence, they put on a few extra pounds that (within two years) goes straight to their height in a growth spurt and deluge of development that knows no equal. Children need to be taught that this is a normal process and that it is a sign that they are on the right track of normal development. I cannot tell you how many of my beautiful slightly-rotund children are slim, trim, healthy adults now!
I agree. When I was 14 years of age my face was slightly rounder. I wasn't fat.. but my modelesque cheek bones were hiding. I wore glasses.. I was called 4 eyes.. coconut head... many mean things. Soon as high school came I grew and filled out in all the right places. Middle school is a dangerous place for young kids growing up sometimes. There is a lot of bullying and emotional conflict especially with hormones rising. High school is a place where I felt I could start over and meet new friends and at the same time my self confidence grew and I believed in myself. I realized I am a good looking person and with that I met my girlfriend of the past 2 and a half years and I am glad I am here today. There were times when I was 14 and thought of ending it all. But really now I know someday if I have a child that grows up through those tumultuous years I can offer them advice and guidance to seeing past the middle school years and looking at a future and happy life.
b4ssfunk3d Thank you for your inspiring reply! A youngster cannot grow a healthy body without some extra fat and muscle mass with which to do so. I think we have gotten too over-obsessed with changing school lunches (a daily event which, thanks to changes in the school-lunch program, leaves many of my fifth graders hungry). Meanwhile, kindergartners trash half of the lunch that won't fit in their small bellies-they are all given the SAME portions, despite age and their diverse caloric needs. Stats show that middle school is the WORST for bullying. I am sorry you had to endure that, but it sounds like you turned out fine and I hope that this vacation with you and your special one is a joyous celebration of life and a positive start to a lifetime of happy experiences!
Or maybe parents can teach their children not to be such pansies... So what if people call you chubby or ugly, is that an excuse to starve yourself? It's going to happen at some point: people will criticize you. Get over it lol. I think white American girls do not have to deal with racism, so they crumble at insignificant words like "ugly" or "chubby". Imagine if they had to endure racist slurs and prejudice, they would die 100 times I guess.
But it happens and to let it control you to the point of what this girl put herself through is wrong, taking a couple of mean comments from somebody and running with it to the point of almost killing yourself is called mental illness. It's not the other kids fault.
She made an instagram post last year talking about how she was still very unhealthy following the high carb low fat lifestyle. She said that she avoided fat and protein because she was terrified of gaining weight and she was fighting her body from getting to the weight she needed to be. If you have an eating disorder PLEASE SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP. Its LIFE-THREATENING and NOT something to be taken lightly. Going from anorexia to the most restrictive diet there is is NOT a good idea. Elle said it herself when she said she traded anorexia for orthorexia.
Bettie Koontz as long as she's vegan and not restricting she'll stay beautiful. All u cow eaters are disgusting. It's not that complicated. God rewards gentleness towards animals.
@@melindad3643 your weight shouldn't change drastically if you eat enough protein and healthy fats. I'm 13 and I know veganism is not restrictive its just ethical
@@watchme6848 ohhh I’m sooo sorry abt that. It’s never too late btwww unless if u are happy abt ur weight (which u should be if ur healthy) sooo like don’t be afraid to do anything even if the doctors say no lol
Some people are really sensitive. Whenever someone would just call them something nasty or talk shit about them they start cutting. If anyone told me "your ugly" I will say "thanks. So are you"
cutting isn't always triggered by bullying, it can come from eating disorders, mental illnesses, loss.. anything really. Words get to people more than others. it's great that you can be strong about these kinds of things, but others, like I, are not. :(
Cutting is done by attention whores which is why majority of the cutters are females in their teens. People who truly loathe themselves go to greater lenghts to self harm
+mila kline No people who live a good life need to realize that and stop whining because it makes the actual people who are born with a medical condition like myself feel worse. Seeing young attractive female teens whining while they have a far better life than me only shows me how pathetic my life is.
..... it's not them being 'sensitive' it's them having mental disorders and anxiety built off of a life of people telling them they're ugly and worthless..
We all have a choice of how we want to feel. We cannot control the outside world ( other people ) or some situations in life....But we CAN choose how we respond. If u care to much what others say about u, it will affect u negatively...if u let it !! But we cannot afford to do that...the price is too high. And we are all Priceless
My teacher showed me this and my class laughed and i got mad, my friends in school call me skinny and that i have anorexia nervosa but i dont and i never let them bring me down
daryl dash jr #relatable all of my friends at school call me anorexic even though I am not I tried to gain weight but they always discourage me to gain weight and be healthy like it's not their business and I can make this journey without them
u were so beautiful in every single picture except for the anorexic ones. tons of girls would kill to look like u. never change urself again ur beautiful
i have a normal weight and in fact i'm a bit in the chubbier side. i have anorexia and bulimia but seeking help is no use bcs i dont appear sick. earlier today, my teacher asked a question on who loves food the most. and a girl screamed out my name. i was hurt.. i knew nobody suspected me to be avoiding food. my teacher laughed and said i need to take attention on my weight.. i do..maybe just a little too much.. eating disorders happen at any weight and size. my weight fluctuates with my bad eating schedule of binging,purging,restricting,taking laxatives and all over again. im scared and i feel trapped. i am trying out a vegan lifestyle but i still suffer from the voices of my eating disorder.
Leia Claudette What your teacher and your classmate did was inexcusable. I'm especially mad at your teacher because she's supposed to be a role model and guide her students in the right direction. She's definitely not supposed to comment her students' weigth, looks or anything else. I hope you are doing better now, and if not, please consider seeking help and undergo treatment. You are beautiful.
Leia Claudette girl.....i have never ever related so much before.... Cause I'm the same as you I'm fat.... But I have an eating disorder :)you are not alome
You know what? It's your life, it's your body. And your body is carrying you through your life. Don't hate it, take care of it. It's the only one you have. So you decide. Above all, please don't listen to such fools. You're to strong for them to let you down. I know what this means
Happy that You're fine again!!! You look stunning now and it's visible that You're healthy :) The video was really touching. Hugs and greetings for you!
yes!!! it was for me! especially something as restrictive as HCLF veganism (no fats, little protein). it just gives your eating disorder a blanket to hide underneath and still hold onto your mind
veganism is not orthorexic. There are hundreds of varieties of fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, nuts and seeds that contain an abundance of all the nutrients the human body needs to thrive. It only eliminates animal products which are unhealthy for humans anyway with their high cholesterol and saturated fat content not to mention hormones and chemicals that are pumped into the animals. They also have been proven to increase risks of diseases like heart disease and cancer. By changing to the vegan lifestyle she is honoring her body and her health and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Private User same I was like her as a male 16 year old about last year in June of 2019 I weighed about 105 to 110 I was following a vegan diet based on fruit only fruits, But that failed so bad that my health was worse . But I still suffer on a Whole Foods plant based hclf vegan diet I mostly eat veggies and little fruits and about 2 or 1.5 cups of legumes every day
I've always wanted to just start eating less, but watching your video on your life I realized that I shouldn't try something that could potentially end my life. My sister's a vegan, I love vegan foods and I've considered becoming a vegan many times. I've always loved tofurky that my sister cooks for Thanksgiving, kale and lentil salad, all that stuff. You've inspired me so much, I'm gonna do it. I enjoy vegan foods more than normal foods, people find it weird, but tofu is definitely 100 times better than pork, chicken, anything! Thank you for uploading this video to help me see, I really owe you one. P.S I hope everything is working out amazingly for you & I hope you know that you're absolutely stunning!
Minii Steph Yea my sister was a vegetarian in high school haha. She said the difference between vegans and vegetarians is vegans don't wear clothing from animals, so, I think that'd help a lot ^-^
+Clockwork YT Another important vegan fact, B12 supplements! It's only source is in the animal-based food, and even in them it's supplements. Long term consequences on your body if you have B12 deficiency. And D-vitamin during winters (at least if you live in a country when the sun barely appears during that time haha xD) Otherwise, good choice! Going vegan is good for you health, for the environment and also for your conscience :)
I hate how I was suddenly gaining sm control and confidence with my body, but how I’m back here. This is suppose to inspire people to recover, but I happen to use it in the worse way possible. I always come back to these anorexia recovery story for “thinspo” and I feel so guilty of it. I’m sorry
Anorexia is an addiction. It's like turning to eating or candy after quitting cigarettes. Addictive personalities will typically turn to other things to sway their dangerous addictions.
Veganism isnt a diet its a lifestyle and it is the most healthy and most humane way to live. Im happy shes vegan and even more happy shes healthy and animals dont die for her next meal.
Im so happy you were able to find happiness in yourself, veganism was such a good choice! Im vegan as well and I've never been happier :) I'm so happy you've recovered.
Ahhh thank you!! This truly means a lot to me. It's amazing just how much certain foods can effect the brain i am so glad that you too have also found this way of life!! ️xx
Girl...your so beautiful! It hurts my heart that you ever thought you were anything less than gorgeous....please stay strong. Your worth a lot more than you may think.
To all people concerned about their weight or body image, here are some tips. If you feel like you may be over fat or anything like that, don't go to just flat out not eating that's extremely dangerous and can kill you. Exercise and eating the right foods in healthy proportions are key. Try drinking more water :) it helps with metabolism, plus you should stay hydrated in the first place if you're exercising ^-^
danphill Don't worry all you need to do is eat vegetables and continue to run and work out. You can also eat some chips or some meat along with your veggies cause no one likes a plate full of vegetables. Have 1 or 2 helpings of healthy or whole grain cereal in the morning and don't eat anything else until lunch. Starving yourself won't help you at all it will just make your situation even worse. When you don't eat air fills up in your stomach and you will become really sick. Drink alot of water during the day and maybe one glass before u sleep. Never feel bad about your looks cause all that matters is your personality. Hope my tips can help you cause they helped me alot
I am here as someone who just turned 14 years old. I watched this first when I was around 10-11 years old, and I was sent to hospital soon after. And then in September 2022 my BMI was about 11.8 and then I started binge eating, and now I'm back here again.
Inspiring story! My highest weight was 409. I was of course made fun of on a daily basis. My parents did everything possible for me to loose weight. But I did everything I could to hide and eat tons of food. Once I turned 18 I realized I had to change. I began exercising and paying attention to everything I ate. Over 4-5 years I was able to get down to 150 pounds. I of course got compliments at every turn. After realizing that people were complimenting me so much I decided it was time to lose more. I am now 115 and struggling with bulemia. I've recently started seeing a doctor & counselor and am doing my best to get back on track. Watching your story has truly helped!
1:39 the awkward moment when you don't look fat at all.. your body looks how it should :| anyone reading this whose body looks like 1:39.. you look absolutely fine!! don't change yourself for other peoples beauty standards :)
I think by that point she already had a little evil voice that invaded her mind, not her own thoughts ;) That's what I see from my perspective, I'm also dealing with anorexia.
***** One thing you might have not realized about you in those days is the powerful mind you have, first you went to one end then to the other (skinny and chubby) which is one of the facts that called my attention. What was happening I would say in my mind I picture a wild mustang being in the wild running wherever it pleases or thinks it's correct, got into trouble till it found the right path to live healthy and free, the mustang represents your mind and obsessive disorders you once had. Congrats for such a great success just remember to keep that mustang in check. Best Regards and thanks for the video.
I'm back again... I first saw this video in 2015, a year after my ed started. And unfortunately, I've been coming back to it ever since.... I wish I could turn back time and tell my younger self that there was no reason at all to start dieting, and that I was good enough. I wish everyone who is going through something like this nothing but the best for the future! Please stay strong & healthy! there is so much more to life. try to enjoy it with ur loved ones etc. you only live once.
I’m so sorry... I’m so happy you’re doing better now because I’m going through the same shit and it’s killing me.. I’m suffering so much every single day and you’re amazing and I hope you never relapse or anything like that again I love you’re strength and you’re incredible.
My mom didn't want this to happen to me so when I was younger she told me this it was funny to my family but I was dead serious my mom said if I didn't eat my food the wind will blow me away I was scared so I always ate my food but I an 25 I have 1 child and I tell her if she doesn't eat the wind will blow her away but still today this day I belive it even tho it's fake
hey girl:), watching these videos is ok, but if they make you start to feel bad about yourself, then you'd do best to stop watching. These sorts of disorders can be a bit contagious. I know this because my mother works at a mental hospital. Also, remember that there is no "ideal" body type. She has a small frame even when she is healthy. Not everyone is built like that. Don't see her version of healthy and assume that it should be yours. One person's ideal weight could be 120 lbs, while another's could be 145 lbs. You are beautiful and do not need to change a thing about yourself.
If you are overweight and want to lose weight, then go for it, but do it in a healthy way. Stop reading the magazines on the grocery shelves, don't listen to the BS news about the new weight loss tricks, it's all scams. I think we all kinda know inside that real healthy weight loss comes from proper diet, and exercise. Eat more fruit and vegetables, eat less pizza and fast food, and burgers. The typical American diet, is why the typical American is overweight. Do research on the internet about proper eating and nutrition (not diets). And re-watch this video, and pay attention to the parts where she says, when she was on a swim team (exercise) she felt great, had a healthy weight, and she was happy. Notice she says she was always faking smiles and reclused from the world, when she was trying to lose weight, and watching the scale. If you have a scale, throw it in the trash. The number is BS, everyone is different. Focus on your curves and where you want to lose weight, and do the exercise and eat properly and you will get there, and your skin will glow, and you will feel happier. If you do it the wrong way (like this video's uploader, had been doing) you will look sickly, and have little energy, and be trapped in a vicious cycle.
+Tyler Dustrude (Exiom) wt bout the military diet lol u got to pay like 90 pounds for eating it every time I think sonething like that apparently it really works but its expensive cause tge military use it my moms friend is using it man she has lost a LOT of fat and weight in a short amount if time. lucky
Omg im so sad and happy at the same time! Im so proud of you for not giving up on yoursef and giving life another chance! Also big up for helping others get better and introducing them to the vegan lifestyle... i have to say this video is so well made and needs to go viral!
I love that you realize it's not about being fat or skinny but it's about being HEALTHY! When I was a child I was always tiny and I matured a lot later than my friends, I've struggled with my body image because I didn't have curves. It's taken the love of family and friends and a wonderful husband to make me realize that as long as I'm taking care of myself I am just the right size.
i could never be anorexic if I don't eat enough the day before the next day I'm really dizzy and have headaches one time my vision went blurry and I kept losing balance, I could've stood up too fast but who knows
I understand what you're saying. If I don't eat enough, I don't feel right. I went on a diet a couple of years ago and I lost over 100 pounds, but there was a couple of times when I cut down on my eating too much and I almost fainted at my job. My job is the kind of job where I have to move around a lot, so I almost fainted. I told my friend about it and she said that even when I'm dieting, it's important that I eat 3 meals a day.
I have suffered with ana off and on for a long time. For the first four days to a week it will feel like hell because your body is not used to living off your body fat and is looking for food. You have to go off food little by little. The hunger and the dizziness will turn pain and then to numbness as weeks go on. With ana you learn to ignore the head aches, cling to the railings on stairs, and wear lots of sweaters. Sooner or later you will like how it feels, because having ana means there's voice in your head telling you the being fat means losing and being skinny means wining.
This is in spanish: Me parece muy valiente el compartir tu historia para advertir a las personas del peligro de caer en descontroles alimentarios, también para motivar a los que ya están sufriendo esa condición y mostrándoles un camino. Te felicito por tu fortaleza y generosidad de alma!
I mean not trying to being rude but why posting this will make you feel better :/ I'm watching this and to me, it seems that she planned everything to record herself struggling every single moment because alot of people nowdays is doing it and posting on UA-cam for the fame, (I was anorexic, so I know how whats looking to fit in a group) I mean is the same problem, trying to call attention and why do you need people who doesn't know you feel sadness or respect for you just to make you feel better, it's hard but why do you need anyone aprovement to tell you youre right or wrong, everyone should feel confident and if you don't why posting this will...
Ellen, you are beyond amazing gorgeous!! You have come so far, i am so so proud of you! You are an inspiration to so many girls/guys out there who are struggling with a similar situation. You're a shining light to so many! I am so happy you found the hclf lifestyle and turned your life around! You deserve the very best Ell, you are one of the sweetest, kindest, genuine people i know. You really are beautiful on the inside and out! I love you!!! and i cant wait to see you tomorrow
Ive been through countless times of anorexia, bulimia, binge eating. My body I dont think has changed one bit. I was just constantly in pain and I only grow taller. Who knows though I could have been way skinnier and not noticed, but Ive always been naturally skinny and its annoying. I feel like I could continue being sick and nothing would change. Im not sure which hurts more though, eating or being hungry. They both make me feel like crap. Its amazing to see that the final method worked for her. Its very inspiring to me and tons of other people
When I was about 10 at a new school there was a group of seven girls who were all bffs so I wanted to make new friends so when I said "Hello my name is Gabrie and I have 17 siblings also I just moved here from North Dakota" and then they said mean stuff to me and the most one was fat they always called me fat everyday. Every time I looked into the mirror I said to myself "I tired of being fat and ugly" so I told the teacher but he basically did nothing about it also I got pushed down the stairs twice that everyone around me were laughing and instead of going to the nurse I just went to Arithmetic class and I was super tired of being called fat so I started to eat 2 veggies a day and I lost weight but I still thought that I was fat that I went from 98-45 pounds. I basically looked like I haven't ate in 4 months and when the bullies saw me they thought I was a different person "Eww she's way to skinny" said Pepper (Onen of my the bullies thought) but a day later I fainted in Algebra class and I remember seeing a white wall and 3 doctors and when I went home from the hospital I was about 53 pounds and now I'm 12 in 8th grade and I'm 109 pounds a little bit heavier than I should be but you don't need to be extremely skinny just for people to like you plus your already 👌
I used to do the same thing but I soon stopped after a couple of months...close to a year everybody was like omfg you so skinny and then it got worst and I started getting weak..so I stopped I'm still really skinny but not like a stick any more to much of one thing can be bad and I learned that the hard way...but I'm back so I'm good you see, I was never fat or thick but I wanted to be more skinny even if my ribs stuck out badly the worst thing is...my mom didn't even know about it😢
(This is no one's fault) but when I saw her when she gained weight back the first time I was a bit triggered (no one's fault since I am crazy) because that it pretty close to what I look like now. I know everyone sees wear they should be with their weight and where they shouldn't be differently. But even though I know this it doesn't change.
Paige Gruen she gained weight that quick because her metabolism was damaged because she was starving. if u wanna lose weight do it right don't ever eat less than 1300
Beautiful! Eating in a way that helps to heal the planet, spares animals from pain and suffering, AND heals you?! BEAUTIFUL!!!!! This is how it SHOULD be.
Honey, 150 is the perfect weight for someone your height. I'm 5'9 and a half and I'm 170 pounds. On the BMI chart, I'm only a couple of pounds overweight. Trust me, you are fine how you are.
Thank you so much for posting. I too suffered from anorexia for a while and a vegan diet was the only way for me to build a healthy relationship with food. I appreciate you sharing your story 💞
Amazing story and may I say that you are beautiful, your body is perfect and a huge congrats for overcoming a devastating disease and finding health on this abundant lifestyle :) Xx
Sugar and Starch thank you so much! ...its a work in progress :p just would love to be toned - but hey in time and with hard work plus consistency that will come :D xxx
+caseylyn francisco YES there are people in third world countries and even first world countries that can't afford food or don't even have access to proper food but that shouldn't be used as an excuse to silence people going through these horrible illnesses such as anorexia
Please don't, seriously think and talk to people around you if you do consider putting your body through something like that again. As long as you are healthy you can learn to love yourself for you and not hate on your beautiful body due to society's idea of "pretty"
@@Wee.low1 the thing is, its not me that misses it. My dad keeps on calling me fat all the time and he wants me to be thin just the way I did before. I tried getting help but its just hard...
I can’t tell you that you are gorgeous for one is because iv never seen you and two you wouldn’t believe it. your dad is calling you these things because he is hurt or he thinks of you as a “trophy”, i don’t know... do NOT take it into yourself. Your human and whatever body shape you want is the body shape you should have not the body that your dad wants. (please reply what you think about it)
Looking back on my life, I have realized that I unknowingly battled anorexia when I was young. In elementary school I never ate lunch, I'm not really sure but I didn't. Teachers used to try to get me to eat and they would constantly call home to my parents, and I would just cry. I didn't eat breakfast at the time either. I'm still thin to this today but not underweight (I don't think so at least..what's a healthy weight for a fourteen year old girl who's 5'5?) but it's actually hard to gain weight because going through middle school I have tried various times. I'm trying again now just because I want bigger boobs (sounds bad but with summer coming up I want to be able to choose from a good range of bathing suits). Anyway my heart goes out for you and I'm glad you're healthy and well! Praying that everyone else is too :)
+Kaylin Styles Same right now, I'm trying not to eat because of my weight. I know I weigh normal for a 10 year old, but I'm trying to drop it down to 73 or something.
XOXO Sofia Don't just not eat. Change your eating habits and exercise more. Starving yourself leads to what you saw in this video, a physical and mental struggle!
Its not an obsession. Its a lifestyle, a healthy one I might add. You don’t need to restrict what you eat, food is your friend! A vegan diet is the most sustainable if you want to be healthy and lean. Nothing else has worked for me, and once I became vegan I lost over 20 lbs and my blood tests are great! I no longer have eczema like I used to and my health just overall improved. You don’t need to eat a raw diet but plant based diets are superior!
Nikki'sFunFilledSunday thank you so much, and yes its always up to the individual to CHOOSE recovery. if you want something bad enough you will never stop till you get it :)
lesson learned: never believe what others tell you, esp when they intend nothing but to hurt you. keep smiling dear. you are beautiful inside and out when you keep smiling because you appreciate your own life ways, not others. God bless!
It really goes either way :) Just like there can be shitty people who eat meat, there can be shitty people who don't too. But that shouldn't determine whether or not you become vegan!
I always wanted to be at least a little skinny, never all the way, because i felt really fat and that i felt like i couldn't do anything.I felt useless...my dad said i should exercise, AND U WAS ONLY 10!I felt horrible for that day thinking i was what he said.I started losing not rhe weight i wanted but my selfl-confidence. I wanted to lose weight but i felt like i knew i couldn't.Its stsyed in my life and seeing this video, makes me feel happy for who I am and thanks to thid amazing, amazing girl ive gained not only more weight, but more self-confidence and to be happy for who i am and what i do.
It is impossible for me to be anorexic.... I can't go a day without eating or I'll get a severe headache that lasts all day. I'm so glad she gained weight....being too big or too skinny just looks so gross.
Mixie Yes you can decide. Hint's why so many people start to become anorexic. You were not born anorexic, It is not a predisposed illness. You have to choose whether or not you want to eat.
+YeahIGotNuthin well it starts out with just wanting to lose weight then it gets to the point where you can't control it and yes it is a mental eating disorder.
Please , do not to die. But you’re beautiful and better and smile and healthy or Vegan. It’s so sad 😭 and worrying to about you. I’m crying 😭 and I don’t know what to do...
I was here a week ago.. I thought I’ve overcome my ed? Until I look in the mirror and see my stomach and thighs people say they love my body & stuff but I don’t like the attention and I just don’t like my body image in general.
+unknown Girl No. This is what people look like with that disease: www.foxnews.com/health/2015/07/09/rare-disease-causing-woman-to-starve-to-death.html She's a liar and in denial.
+Daisy Montgomery I get this all the time!! I need to watch her videos and follow her now as i get this comment every week!! I will take it as a compliment ☺️ so thank you 💕 xx
hi angel i’m so happy you’re doing so much better mentally and physically! but please be aware / cautious about veganism, especially HCLF veganism. i had anorexia and bulimia since i was 13 and when i was 16 i went HCLF vegan and thought i was recovered! i am now 20 and realize my eating disorders just hid underneath my HCLF veganism. i’m still vegetarian for ethical reasons but i now realize how unhealthy it is to restrict fats! not only physically (lack of fats is extremely dangerous) but also mentally. please be careful and look into this!
you Know it’s Bad when you’re here again
letsfuckkappa is it still bad?
yes ):
I hope your ok xx 💕
Yea....
what???
Some people are here to watch and support.... Some are here to get some inspiration... But some are also here for some "thinspiration"
So true. I'm glad someone said it! Hope my video about it doesnt come off that way
you are so beautiful skinny
I know I am. As a girl who went from 270+ lbs to 130+ lbs and stuck here for more than a month now, I really need to see that it can be done.
I’m glad you said this.
Viki-chan OwO if you ever want to recover I’m always available to talk to.
Why am I watching this thinking “I wanna look like that”
I dont know, but thats not normal. Please seek help if needed.
Me too but don't
I also wont to be that skinny I've always had a weight problem
Bcos we all do, not just women, men too, NO BODY LOVES FAT PEOPLE.
Some of us humans are weird. I've been close to death so many times that I can't even begin to count them, but some how I always come back! But, don't think it's fun. It's not! It's tormenting.

I don't understand why people let words get to them, clearly they aren't mentally right.
Alize B Kids always say stuff... I was bullied lightly about 3 years at primary school. Didn't really impact my life other than at school. As long as you have friends its totally manageable. If you don't have friends I can see it really impacting you, as only feedback you get is from bullies. Bullying is wrong but pretty normal.
Sheer Cyber Just because someone is more sensitive doesn't make them "not mentally right"
Lorena Amnesiac well they'll have a difficult time in life.
Sheer Cyber Indeed.
I lost 80 pounds with my eating disorder. I was sick of being the fat friend, but within year I was the skinniest.
I wouldn't eat, and when I had to I would throw it all up.
I met my (now husband) boyfriend and he made me feel beautiful. I wanted to get better for him. I still struggled but I had improved. Then we decided to try for a family. I got pregnant the first month of TTC. Our little guy is due in August and I haven't purged once since I got pregnant. Seeing the numbers climb on the scale kills me. I know how tempting my old ways will be once he's born, but living that way just isn't an option anymore. I am a mommy now and my life will be lived for my family. 💕 helps me to watch other people's success stories.
Great story ❤️ good luck with your new family
***** This makes me so happy! Good luck in the future :)
***** You are an amazing woman!! Thinking of your child first. Being healthy for your family! You are going to be a wonderful mother! All the best for you and your growing family!!!!
***** Hope you have a nice future ☻
Love your story!
It really pi**es me off that classmates would call a child in elementary school "chubby" and other nasty names. As a teacher of fourth and fifth graders for over 15 years, I can attest that before most children go through adolescence, they put on a few extra pounds that (within two years) goes straight to their height in a growth spurt and deluge of development that knows no equal. Children need to be taught that this is a normal process and that it is a sign that they are on the right track of normal development. I cannot tell you how many of my beautiful slightly-rotund children are slim, trim, healthy adults now!
I agree. When I was 14 years of age my face was slightly rounder. I wasn't fat.. but my modelesque cheek bones were hiding. I wore glasses.. I was called 4 eyes.. coconut head... many mean things. Soon as high school came I grew and filled out in all the right places. Middle school is a dangerous place for young kids growing up sometimes. There is a lot of bullying and emotional conflict especially with hormones rising. High school is a place where I felt I could start over and meet new friends and at the same time my self confidence grew and I believed in myself. I realized I am a good looking person and with that I met my girlfriend of the past 2 and a half years and I am glad I am here today. There were times when I was 14 and thought of ending it all. But really now I know someday if I have a child that grows up through those tumultuous years I can offer them advice and guidance to seeing past the middle school years and looking at a future and happy life.
Also I am 24 years old now and looking forward to vacationing with my girlfriend in Vegas in a little over a week.
b4ssfunk3d Thank you for your inspiring reply! A youngster cannot grow a healthy body without some extra fat and muscle mass with which to do so. I think we have gotten too over-obsessed with changing school lunches (a daily event which, thanks to changes in the school-lunch program, leaves many of my fifth graders hungry). Meanwhile, kindergartners trash half of the lunch that won't fit in their small bellies-they are all given the SAME portions, despite age and their diverse caloric needs. Stats show that middle school is the WORST for bullying. I am sorry you had to endure that, but it sounds like you turned out fine and I hope that this vacation with you and your special one is a joyous celebration of life and a positive start to a lifetime of happy experiences!
Or maybe parents can teach their children not to be such pansies... So what if people call you chubby or ugly, is that an excuse to starve yourself? It's going to happen at some point: people will criticize you. Get over it lol. I think white American girls do not have to deal with racism, so they crumble at insignificant words like "ugly" or "chubby". Imagine if they had to endure racist slurs and prejudice, they would die 100 times I guess.
But it happens and to let it control you to the point of what this girl put herself through is wrong, taking a couple of mean comments from somebody and running with it to the point of almost killing yourself is called mental illness. It's not the other kids fault.
She made an instagram post last year talking about how she was still very unhealthy following the high carb low fat lifestyle. She said that she avoided fat and protein because she was terrified of gaining weight and she was fighting her body from getting to the weight she needed to be. If you have an eating disorder PLEASE SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP. Its LIFE-THREATENING and NOT something to be taken lightly. Going from anorexia to the most restrictive diet there is is NOT a good idea. Elle said it herself when she said she traded anorexia for orthorexia.
Bettie Koontz as long as she's vegan and not restricting she'll stay beautiful. All u cow eaters are disgusting. It's not that complicated. God rewards gentleness towards animals.

Some people are really sensitive. Whenever someone would just call them something nasty or talk shit about them they start cutting.
If anyone told me "your ugly"
I will say "thanks. So are you"
cutting isn't always triggered by bullying, it can come from eating disorders, mental illnesses, loss.. anything really. Words get to people more than others. it's great that you can be strong about these kinds of things, but others, like I, are not. :(
you need to get your head out of your ass and understand that what may not affect you can seriously affect others.
Cutting is done by attention whores which is why majority of the cutters are females in their teens. People who truly loathe themselves go to greater lenghts to self harm
+mila kline No people who live a good life need to realize that and stop whining because it makes the actual people who are born with a medical condition like myself feel worse. Seeing young attractive female teens whining while they have a far better life than me only shows me how pathetic my life is.
..... it's not them being 'sensitive' it's them having mental disorders and anxiety built off of a life of people telling them they're ugly and worthless..

What god? She was the one (along with her friends and family) who tried to fight anorexy, not this "god" you're speaking of.
Chris Garcia Just because you have sexual relations with a robot instead of a human, doesn't mean everyone is a robot.
lol! my same thoughts... we can all be controlled by something, and maybe humans aren't self-thinking creatures after all...
We all have a choice of how we want to feel. We cannot control the outside world ( other people ) or some situations in life....But we CAN choose how we respond. If u care to much what others say about u, it will affect u negatively...if u let it !! But we cannot afford to do that...the price is too high. And we are all Priceless

Why is everyone being so rude?? :(
u were so beautiful in every single picture except for the anorexic ones. tons of girls would kill to look like u. never change urself again ur beautiful
I don't think she looked 'beautiful' in the anorexic pics. She looked ill and emaciated, which she was.
Panic!AtTheChemicalUnicornCrybaby21Biersacks
She was still beautiful in that one but was ruining it
i have a normal weight and in fact i'm a bit in the chubbier side. i have anorexia and bulimia but seeking help is no use bcs i dont appear sick. earlier today, my teacher asked a question on who loves food the most. and a girl screamed out my name. i was hurt.. i knew nobody suspected me to be avoiding food. my teacher laughed and said i need to take attention on my weight.. i do..maybe just a little too much.. eating disorders happen at any weight and size. my weight fluctuates with my bad eating schedule of binging,purging,restricting,taking laxatives and all over again. im scared and i feel trapped. i am trying out a vegan lifestyle but i still suffer from the voices of my eating disorder.
Leia Claudette I really hope you're feeling better by now, be strong and know you're beautiful as you are
Leia Claudette What your teacher and your classmate did was inexcusable. I'm especially mad at your teacher because she's supposed to be a role model and guide her students in the right direction. She's definitely not supposed to comment her students' weigth, looks or anything else. I hope you are doing better now, and if not, please consider seeking help and undergo treatment. You are beautiful.
Leia Claudette girl.....i have never ever related so much before.... Cause I'm the same as you I'm fat.... But I have an eating disorder :)you are not alome
being skinny dun mean healthy, sometimes we get hate frm ppl becos their jealous of what u have, n becos ur what they wish to be. stay strongg
You know what? It's your life, it's your body. And your body is carrying you through your life. Don't hate it, take care of it. It's the only one you have. So you decide. Above all, please don't listen to such fools. You're to strong for them to let you down. I know what this means
Happy that You're fine again!!! You look stunning now and it's visible that You're healthy :) The video was really touching. Hugs and greetings for you!
^^^^^^^
I think something as mildly orthorexic as veganism may be problematic for someone with food-control issues who nearly died from anorexia.
synth3tic yup
yes!!! it was for me! especially something as restrictive as HCLF veganism (no fats, little protein). it just gives your eating disorder a blanket to hide underneath and still hold onto your mind
Veganism is not an anorexic diet. It is a healthy one that is also ethical. She feels she has control over what she eats now without being unhealthy
veganism is not orthorexic. There are hundreds of varieties of fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, nuts and seeds that contain an abundance of all the nutrients the human body needs to thrive. It only eliminates animal products which are unhealthy for humans anyway with their high cholesterol and saturated fat content not to mention hormones and chemicals that are pumped into the animals. They also have been proven to increase risks of diseases like heart disease and cancer. By changing to the vegan lifestyle she is honoring her body and her health and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Private User same I was like her as a male 16 year old about last year in June of 2019 I weighed about 105 to 110 I was following a vegan diet based on fruit only fruits, But that failed so bad that my health was worse . But I still suffer on a Whole Foods plant based hclf vegan diet I mostly eat veggies and little fruits and about 2 or 1.5 cups of legumes every day
I've always wanted to just start eating less, but watching your video on your life I realized that I shouldn't try something that could potentially end my life. My sister's a vegan, I love vegan foods and I've considered becoming a vegan many times. I've always loved tofurky that my sister cooks for Thanksgiving, kale and lentil salad, all that stuff. You've inspired me so much, I'm gonna do it. I enjoy vegan foods more than normal foods, people find it weird, but tofu is definitely 100 times better than pork, chicken, anything! Thank you for uploading this video to help me see, I really owe you one.
P.S I hope everything is working out amazingly for you & I hope you know that you're absolutely stunning!
Thats a good choice u do! I'm vegetarian and i want to go vegan but i'm taking it slowly haha
Minii Steph Yea my sister was a vegetarian in high school haha. She said the difference between vegans and vegetarians is vegans don't wear clothing from animals, so, I think that'd help a lot ^-^
Luísa Libardi Thanks so much!
Then turn vegan ! its cool
+Clockwork YT Another important vegan fact, B12 supplements! It's only source is in the animal-based food, and even in them it's supplements. Long term consequences on your body if you have B12 deficiency. And D-vitamin during winters (at least if you live in a country when the sun barely appears during that time haha xD)
Otherwise, good choice! Going vegan is good for you health, for the environment and also for your conscience :)
THANK YOU FOR EATING AGAIN I REALLY DONT LIKE TOO SEE PEOPLE DIE ;-;

I hate how I was suddenly gaining sm control and confidence with my body, but how I’m back here. This is suppose to inspire people to recover, but I happen to use it in the worse way possible. I always come back to these anorexia recovery story for “thinspo” and I feel so guilty of it. I’m sorry

All anorexia videos that i watch end up with the person becoming vegan
Alice Rasker why not xd
bc they can still have control that way
Anorexia is an addiction.
It's like turning to eating or candy after quitting cigarettes.
Addictive personalities will typically turn to other things to sway their dangerous addictions.
Because it seriously helps.
Veganism isnt a diet its a lifestyle and it is the most healthy and most humane way to live. Im happy shes vegan and even more happy shes healthy and animals dont die for her next meal.
girl, you won everything. You won the war against yourself. It's a think to be proud of.

To all people concerned about their weight or body image, here are some tips. If you feel like you may be over fat or anything like that, don't go to just flat out not eating that's extremely dangerous and can kill you. Exercise and eating the right foods in healthy proportions are key. Try drinking more water :) it helps with metabolism, plus you should stay hydrated in the first place if you're exercising ^-^
thank you !
THANKS DEAR
Zebra Llama
Thanks I really will use ur way.
danphill Don't worry all you need to do is eat vegetables and continue to run and work out. You can also eat some chips or some meat along with your veggies cause no one likes a plate full of vegetables. Have 1 or 2 helpings of healthy or whole grain cereal in the morning and don't eat anything else until lunch. Starving yourself won't help you at all it will just make your situation even worse. When you don't eat air fills up in your stomach and you will become really sick. Drink alot of water during the day and maybe one glass before u sleep. Never feel bad about your looks cause all that matters is your personality. Hope my tips can help you cause they helped me alot
I watched this in 6th grade (2016) and here I am again as a junior I’m Highschool, watching again.
Omfg im a junior in hs too, i watch this video like once a year
I am here as someone who just turned 14 years old. I watched this first when I was around 10-11 years old, and I was sent to hospital soon after. And then in September 2022 my BMI was about 11.8 and then I started binge eating, and now I'm back here again.
Inspiring story! My highest weight was 409. I was of course made fun of on a daily basis. My parents did everything possible for me to loose weight. But I did everything I could to hide and eat tons of food. Once I turned 18 I realized I had to change. I began exercising and paying attention to everything I ate. Over 4-5 years I was able to get down to 150 pounds. I of course got compliments at every turn. After realizing that people were complimenting me so much I decided it was time to lose more. I am now 115 and struggling with bulemia. I've recently started seeing a doctor & counselor and am doing my best to get back on track. Watching your story has truly helped!
1:39 the awkward moment when you don't look fat at all.. your body looks how it should :| anyone reading this whose body looks like 1:39.. you look absolutely fine!! don't change yourself for other peoples beauty standards :)
I think by that point she already had a little evil voice that invaded her mind, not her own thoughts ;) That's what I see from my perspective, I'm also dealing with anorexia.

***** One thing you might have not realized about you in those days is the powerful mind you have, first you went to one end then to the other (skinny and chubby) which is one of the facts that called my attention.
What was happening I would say in my mind I picture a wild mustang being in the wild running wherever it pleases or thinks it's correct, got into trouble till it found the right path to live healthy and free, the mustang represents your mind and obsessive disorders you once had. Congrats for such a great success just remember to keep that mustang in check.
Best Regards and thanks for the video.
I'm back again... I first saw this video in 2015, a year after my ed started. And unfortunately, I've been coming back to it ever since.... I wish I could turn back time and tell my younger self that there was no reason at all to start dieting, and that I was good enough. I wish everyone who is going through something like this nothing but the best for the future! Please stay strong & healthy! there is so much more to life. try to enjoy it with ur loved ones etc. you only live once.
I’m so sorry... I’m so happy you’re doing better now because I’m going through the same shit and it’s killing me.. I’m suffering so much every single day and you’re amazing and I hope you never relapse or anything like that again I love you’re strength and you’re incredible.
My mom didn't want this to happen to me so when I was younger she told me this it was funny to my family but I was dead serious my mom said if I didn't eat my food the wind will blow me away I was scared so I always ate my food but I an 25 I have 1 child and I tell her if she doesn't eat the wind will blow her away but still today this day I belive it even tho it's fake

(Skips ad)
Her : I WAS SO THIN I WAS RUSHED TO HOSPITAL
Me: LOL I AINT LOSIN WEIGHT
Same
Charlie Oat i got a exersise ad
Charlie Oat that’s because it relates to the content you bubblegum dumb dumb
F*ck that. No one needs to lose weight. They THINK they do.
Is it bad that after watching a few videos like this I want to start loosening wait .
depends on if you need to lose weight or not
hey girl:), watching these videos is ok, but if they make you start to feel bad about yourself, then you'd do best to stop watching. These sorts of disorders can be a bit contagious. I know this because my mother works at a mental hospital. Also, remember that there is no "ideal" body type. She has a small frame even when she is healthy. Not everyone is built like that. Don't see her version of healthy and assume that it should be yours. One person's ideal weight could be 120 lbs, while another's could be 145 lbs. You are beautiful and do not need to change a thing about yourself.
If you are overweight and want to lose weight, then go for it, but do it in a healthy way. Stop reading the magazines on the grocery shelves, don't listen to the BS news about the new weight loss tricks, it's all scams. I think we all kinda know inside that real healthy weight loss comes from proper diet, and exercise. Eat more fruit and vegetables, eat less pizza and fast food, and burgers. The typical American diet, is why the typical American is overweight. Do research on the internet about proper eating and nutrition (not diets). And re-watch this video, and pay attention to the parts where she says, when she was on a swim team (exercise) she felt great, had a healthy weight, and she was happy. Notice she says she was always faking smiles and reclused from the world, when she was trying to lose weight, and watching the scale. If you have a scale, throw it in the trash. The number is BS, everyone is different. Focus on your curves and where you want to lose weight, and do the exercise and eat properly and you will get there, and your skin will glow, and you will feel happier. If you do it the wrong way (like this video's uploader, had been doing) you will look sickly, and have little energy, and be trapped in a vicious cycle.

Henya Mania Thankyou so much Henya
me too!!! very exciting times!!!
I love that you realize it's not about being fat or skinny but it's about being HEALTHY! When I was a child I was always tiny and I matured a lot later than my friends, I've struggled with my body image because I didn't have curves. It's taken the love of family and friends and a wonderful husband to make me realize that as long as I'm taking care of myself I am just the right size.
i could never be anorexic if I don't eat enough the day before the next day I'm really dizzy and have headaches one time my vision went blurry and I kept losing balance, I could've stood up too fast but who knows
same .
I understand what you're saying. If I don't eat enough, I don't feel right. I went on a diet a couple of years ago and I lost over 100 pounds, but there was a couple of times when I cut down on my eating too much and I almost fainted at my job. My job is the kind of job where I have to move around a lot, so I almost fainted. I told my friend about it and she said that even when I'm dieting, it's important that I eat 3 meals a day.
definitely how i feel if i dont eat/hydrate
I have suffered with ana off and on for a long time. For the first four days to a week it will feel like hell because your body is not used to living off your body fat and is looking for food. You have to go off food little by little. The hunger and the dizziness will turn pain and then to numbness as weeks go on. With ana you learn to ignore the head aches, cling to the railings on stairs, and wear lots of sweaters. Sooner or later you will like how it feels, because having ana means there's voice in your head telling you the being fat means losing and being skinny means wining.

Im so grateful we came into each others lives
Ive been through countless times of anorexia, bulimia, binge eating. My body I dont think has changed one bit. I was just constantly in pain and I only grow taller. Who knows though I could have been way skinnier and not noticed, but Ive always been naturally skinny and its annoying. I feel like I could continue being sick and nothing would change. Im not sure which hurts more though, eating or being hungry. They both make me feel like crap. Its amazing to see that the final method worked for her. Its very inspiring to me and tons of other people
When I was about 10 at a new school there was a group of seven girls who were all bffs so I wanted to make new friends so when I said "Hello my name is Gabrie and I have 17 siblings also I just moved here from North Dakota" and then they said mean stuff to me and the most one was fat they always called me fat everyday. Every time I looked into the mirror I said to myself "I tired of being fat and ugly" so I told the teacher but he basically did nothing about it also I got pushed down the stairs twice that everyone around me were laughing and instead of going to the nurse I just went to Arithmetic class and I was super tired of being called fat so I started to eat 2 veggies a day and I lost weight but I still thought that I was fat that I went from 98-45 pounds. I basically looked like I haven't ate in 4 months and when the bullies saw me they thought I was a different person "Eww she's way to skinny" said Pepper (Onen of my the bullies thought) but a day later I fainted in Algebra class and I remember seeing a white wall and 3 doctors and when I went home from the hospital I was about 53 pounds and now I'm 12 in 8th grade and I'm 109 pounds a little bit heavier than I should be but you don't need to be extremely skinny just for people to like you plus your already 👌
Perfect
Gabrie Isburg I hope you are fine now😘 I am a teenager & go through this problems even today
I have 12 siblings
me alsoo

I used to do the same thing but I soon stopped after a couple of months...close to a year everybody was like omfg you so skinny and then it got worst and I started getting weak..so I stopped I'm still really skinny but not like a stick any more to much of one thing can be bad and I learned that the hard way...but I'm back so I'm good you see, I was never fat or thick but I wanted to be more skinny even if my ribs stuck out badly the worst thing is...my mom didn't even know about it😢
I feel the same too. I only helped mhself since no one noticed orknew about it.
Eat 10 cakes and youll be thicc
kiara turner10 and have diabetes
(This is no one's fault) but when I saw her when she gained weight back the first time I was a bit triggered (no one's fault since I am crazy) because that it pretty close to what I look like now. I know everyone sees wear they should be with their weight and where they shouldn't be differently. But even though I know this it doesn't change.
In that gaining weight picture she was close to a normal healthy body, I wish that was my body in thay picture
Paige Gruen she gained weight that quick because her metabolism was damaged because she was starving. if u wanna lose weight do it right don't ever eat less than 1300
@@420kitchen6 me too... I liked it so much... She looked so healthy...
Beautiful! Eating in a way that helps to heal the planet, spares animals from pain and suffering, AND heals you?! BEAUTIFUL!!!!! This is how it SHOULD be.
Is it bad that all I can think about when watching this is that I should lose weight? 5'9 and 150 pounds
Honey, 150 is the perfect weight for someone your height. I'm 5'9 and a half and I'm 170 pounds. On the BMI chart, I'm only a couple of pounds overweight. Trust me, you are fine how you are.
Ingenious Jay well I'm 5'10 and only 110 pounds
RedLocks same :(
Hussam Askar That is considered underweight.
RedLocks Don't worry about what other people think of you, worry about health. Being healthy is different than skinny.
Thank you so much for posting. I too suffered from anorexia for a while and a vegan diet was the only way for me to build a healthy relationship with food. I appreciate you sharing your story 💞
You have me in tears, I love you Ellen, I can't wait to spend the month with you in Thailand and start a new adventure xxxxxxx
whyoweyou aww Lily
Amazing story and may I say that you are beautiful, your body is perfect and a huge congrats for overcoming a devastating disease and finding health on this abundant lifestyle :) Xx
Sugar and Starch thank you so much! ...its a work in progress :p just would love to be toned - but hey in time and with hard work plus consistency that will come :D xxx
Be thankful that you have food to eat. In some countries, they skip meals not because they have eating disorder but they got nothing to eat. 😔
+caseylyn francisco YES there are people in third world countries and even first world countries that can't afford food or don't even have access to proper food but that shouldn't be used as an excuse to silence people going through these horrible illnesses such as anorexia
+Hayley Louise THANK YOU - people sometimes don't see that these are two very different issues!
am i the only one that misses my eating disorder and wants it back?
Please don't, seriously think and talk to people around you if you do consider putting your body through something like that again. As long as you are healthy you can learn to love yourself for you and not hate on your beautiful body due to society's idea of "pretty"
@@Wee.low1 the thing is, its not me that misses it. My dad keeps on calling me fat all the time and he wants me to be thin just the way I did before. I tried getting help but its just hard...
I can’t tell you that you are gorgeous for one is because iv never seen you and two you wouldn’t believe it. your dad is calling you these things because he is hurt or he thinks of you as a “trophy”, i don’t know... do NOT take it into yourself. Your human and whatever body shape you want is the body shape you should have not the body that your dad wants. (please reply what you think about it)
3:20 I felt bad for you because I hate hospitals and I get scared when someone is in a hospital
I felt bad for u also at 4:19 and i felt bad for u alot

My heart goes out to you. So glad you got your health back. You're a beautiful young woman. Keep up the good work!
still struggling to lose weight
+尘世之际 the struggle makes the best story. same here
don't diet. Just move more :-) Happier life!

Just avoid processed things and junk food, then eat clean and walk/jog more. And hey Jillian Michaels 30 day shred also helps :)
Looking back on my life, I have realized that I unknowingly battled anorexia when I was young. In elementary school I never ate lunch, I'm not really sure but I didn't. Teachers used to try to get me to eat and they would constantly call home to my parents, and I would just cry. I didn't eat breakfast at the time either. I'm still thin to this today but not underweight (I don't think so at least..what's a healthy weight for a fourteen year old girl who's 5'5?) but it's actually hard to gain weight because going through middle school I have tried various times. I'm trying again now just because I want bigger boobs (sounds bad but with summer coming up I want to be able to choose from a good range of bathing suits). Anyway my heart goes out for you and I'm glad you're healthy and well! Praying that everyone else is too :)
+Kaylin Styles Like 110- 130 pounds is healthy
+Kaylin Styles Same right now, I'm trying not to eat because of my weight. I know I weigh normal for a 10 year old, but I'm trying to drop it down to 73 or something.
Katherine Woods Alrighty, thanks. I'm 103 right now so maybe I should gain a little more.
XOXO Sofia Don't just not eat. Change your eating habits and exercise more. Starving yourself leads to what you saw in this video, a physical and mental struggle!
Kaylin Styles Oops I put (not eating) but trust me, I eat normally :) I just eat a bit healthier I always eat fruit or something :)
Oh no. She discovered the Freelee diet. I was hoping for a happy ending, but she replaced one obsession for another.
Create Seventyeight
I was thinking the same. Poor prognosis.
Its not an obsession. Its a lifestyle, a healthy one I might add. You don’t need to restrict what you eat, food is your friend! A vegan diet is the most sustainable if you want to be healthy and lean. Nothing else has worked for me, and once I became vegan I lost over 20 lbs and my blood tests are great! I no longer have eczema like I used to and my health just overall improved. You don’t need to eat a raw diet but plant based diets are superior!
i was anorex too,but i helped mysef ,and now it 's good
Same
Renata Alijagic really how did you do I can't help myself recover?..
+Alma Mendoza I was faithing with myself .And just you can do it and nobody can help you ,until you change this.
Nice and very inspiring to eat heathy and exercise and it's all up to you in the end
Nikki'sFunFilledSunday thank you so much, and yes its always up to the individual to CHOOSE recovery. if you want something bad enough you will never stop till you get it :)
lesson learned: never believe what others tell you, esp when they intend nothing but to hurt you. keep smiling dear. you are beautiful inside and out when you keep smiling because you appreciate your own life ways, not others. God bless!
Good for you. I pray you keep it in moderation.
is this another story to turn people vegan......cause it felt like it some how...
+anika ahmed its not but what a coincidence that she got healthy again on a vegan diet ;)
Of course it's vegan propaganda duh
+anika ahmed everyone should be a vegan.
if vegan people are like you than fuck that rather eat cows anyday
It really goes either way :)
Just like there can be shitty people who eat meat, there can be shitty people who don't too.
But that shouldn't determine whether or not you become vegan!
My friends sent me here because i was cutting out food more and more everyday and if you guys read this. Hey.
I always wanted to be at least a little skinny, never all the way, because i felt really fat and that i felt like i couldn't do anything.I felt useless...my dad said i should exercise, AND U WAS ONLY 10!I felt horrible for that day thinking i was what he said.I started losing not rhe weight i wanted but my selfl-confidence. I wanted to lose weight but i felt like i knew i couldn't.Its stsyed in my life and seeing this video, makes me feel happy for who I am and thanks to thid amazing, amazing girl ive gained not only more weight, but more self-confidence and to be happy for who i am and what i do.
When you thought u was fat u look gorgeous.
+Shana Vaid beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
But she wasn't healthy then either
It is impossible for me to be anorexic.... I can't go a day without eating or I'll get a severe headache that lasts all day.
I'm so glad she gained weight....being too big or too skinny just looks so gross.
*lasts
*glad
you can't decided to be anorexic.. it's a mental eating disorder
Mixie Yes you can decide. Hint's why so many people start to become anorexic. You were not born anorexic, It is not a predisposed illness. You have to choose whether or not you want to eat.
I also get a headache if I don't eat
+YeahIGotNuthin well it starts out with just wanting to lose weight then it gets to the point where you can't control it and yes it is a mental eating disorder.
the way this used to be my go to thinspo on UA-cam for 6 years damn
Same here back to 2017😅
Please , do not to die. But you’re beautiful and better and smile and healthy or Vegan. It’s so sad 😭 and worrying to about you. I’m crying 😭 and I don’t know what to do...
I'm proud of you!! Always remeber that you're beautiful the way you are xxx
Fookin' Louis and you dont have to change a thing the world could change its hearth
no scars to your beautyfuuuuuul!
You look AMAZING now! I️ had an eating disorder too before I️ discovered the hclf Vegan lifestyle and now I️ am truly happy as well. Keep it up girl!!
Thanks for sharing and thank God your okay 😘😘
I was here a week ago.. I thought I’ve overcome my ed? Until I look in the mirror and see my stomach and thighs people say they love my body & stuff but I don’t like the attention and I just don’t like my body image in general.
only if enugenia realizes that
2018?
And she's cute 😊
2021😩
GOD BLESS YOU BABY! I've been there and I understand your pain. I'm so proud of you.
eugenia needs to see this
Omg ikr
but shes not anorexic , she has a disease where her body cant consume fat if she eats .
+unknown Girl No. This is what people look like with that disease: www.foxnews.com/health/2015/07/09/rare-disease-causing-woman-to-starve-to-death.html
She's a liar and in denial.
TCA Media right. People with eating disorders always have "reasons" why they look the way they do. She needs help. Really
Alisha DiPaola Agreed. 100%.
U look a bit like aspyn ovard in some of your pictures
+Daisy Montgomery I get this all the time!! I need to watch her videos and follow her now as i get this comment every week!! I will take it as a compliment ☺️ so thank you 💕 xx
Elle Tayla ahaha yes it was a compliment!! Youre so beautiful ❤️❤️
hi angel i’m so happy you’re doing so much better mentally and physically! but please be aware / cautious about veganism, especially HCLF veganism. i had anorexia and bulimia since i was 13 and when i was 16 i went HCLF vegan and thought i was recovered! i am now 20 and realize my eating disorders just hid underneath my HCLF veganism. i’m still vegetarian for ethical reasons but i now realize how unhealthy it is to restrict fats! not only physically (lack of fats is extremely dangerous) but also mentally. please be careful and look into this!
Take notes eugenia
The one good thing that comes out of this is you realise how important your life is and that you shouldn’t change for others
Please, what's the name of the music ?
The links above the videos are dead D:

You’re so so so so beautiful!!! I’m so happy you found the light at the end of the tunnel!! I’m so proud of you
I hope you get well for the rest of your life and never be anorexic again.
Guys look at her instagram, she fully recovered!
