Hi Dani! I just wanted to tell you that as a male who struggles with an ED and has for many years its really hard to find representation, so you end up in a lot of different female communities and support groups, and just know that your videos have helped me in my recovery so much and I very much appreciate all of your content and your ability to be vulnerable.
I love you so much that I literally started crying when you talked about how much you have been struggling. The fact that you hold such a special place in my heart is telling of your heart, and your beauty, and your strength.
I’m so glad you brought up that there are bad therapists because there are sooo many bad ones (I say this with a psych degree so I have the ~knowledge~ and passion for the field) also side note-I actually love putting blush on my nose! It looks cute on you too!:)💗I lost my period for months, hope we can both get it back soon, I’m rooting for you, you’re not alone💋
Dear Dani, You’re so strong, You’re so sweet, such a kind and good heart and soul, You’re not alone in this i struggle with sadness and ed too and stomach pain, i’m always scared that i’m burden when i tell someone about my mental health too so often i’m quiet too, But you deserve so much good things dani and so much help! Don’t see yourself a s failure cause you’re 100% not, You are still fucking going, waking up, helping people by your content, Trying different things ,And that’s incredible after what you went through, I hope for the best, that you gain weight ,get your period back and the pain in your stomach disappear, your are true inspiration , keep going, you deserve and will smile❤❤
Hey Dani :) I’ve not commented before but have been following you for about a year now, this video made me so emotional. I know what it is like to feel as if you are having set backs with your health when you are trying so hard, I am feeling this way with my own mental health at the moment. Just wanted to say that you are not alone and I think you are amazing! Please do not be hard on yourself at all- be kind to yourself, I can see how hard you are trying and that is so important🧡Thank you for all of the stuff you make, there have been so many times that I have watched one of your videos or looked at your Instagram story and it has made me feel less alone, so thank you for that🧡
I thank you and sending you a long hug for being able to.. not just update us followers but! Being able to come to terms of sharing how you truly felt and how things have been these past couple of months. I can agree that it is hard to share things like this because of comments/effecting others/feeling more low because your talking about it/failure etc ... But this just, at least for me, gave me a better perspective that not saying things can highly likely take a toll in others areas in life. Gosh...I think I'm also "good" at keeping things to myself. So, much much is appreciated that you opened up to us. I want to confirm that I do not see you as a disappointment or I don't see you in a negative way for struggling, 'especially' the fact that you have started your path to improve your mental, physical and spiritual self. I didn't want to assume anything WAS going on but I'm sure most us (those who have struggled with mental such as ED's) humans question life because of our own personal life and history and observing others. However, much love Dani. I have so much hope for you, things will be better.💜🙏🏻😌
hey dani! i’ve been following you for a while and always been inspired by your journey. thank you so much for your honesty and just know that you can always say it like it is and we’ll support you. i really needed this check in too because i need to gain weight to be able to take some medication I need and i will definitely be using the idea of milestone gifts to keep me motivated!! thanks girl and lysm ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this ❤ being honest regarding mental health is so difficult and you doing so opens the door for others to do the same, you're always a bright light and I hope you save some sunshine for yourself, thanks for putting how I feel into words and thank you for the encouragement to potentially open up about mental health issues
Honestly, as a recovery community, we need to be real about things. We need to be honest about our struggles. It’s not always positive. Sometimes it’s ugly. But that raw and realness brings us together, and makes those who are deep in it feel less alone. Your realness and authenticity about this is where you’re at matters so much ❤
@@danifernandez.galso, I have gastroparesis and it’s very very common with eating disorders. It causes slowed digestion and severe constipation is common side effect. I really think you should get testing for it. I’m on Motegrity and it’s helped me so much
dani. constipation is no joke!! i relate to every single thing you were going through. That pain feels like your gonna die. i literally almost passed out in the ER waiting room because of the pain and my mom said i looked yellow. its so bad and im sorry you had to go through that!!
I think it would be super cathartic and healing for you to do a video on what exactly your future goals, dreams, and ambitions are!! Talking about recovery is a great thing, but it’s so so important to know what exactly you’re fighting for and what to focus on outside of the disorder. Making vision/manifestation boards are also super helpful especially if you keep it hung up somewhere you see it on a consistent daily basis. You got this Dani !!❤
@@bigchungus7641 I love this so much and will definitely do this! I don’t love talking about recovery 24/7 I feel like it can make you stuck so thank you ❤️
You are amazing and a fighter. You're not a failure by any means. We are humans, and we fall sometimes, but we get back up. Failing is falling, and choosing not to get back up. You continuously get back up and fight instead of letting the Ed take you. I've talked to you a couple of times because we both went to nyspi. I'm currently at the Charis House in Yulee Florida and have been since mid July; it's a newer program but is faith-based and amazing. Keep fighting, we all deserve freedom
Dani I just wanted to say you are such a sweet person and no matter what you looked like I just enjoyed watching your videos and loved watching you talk!💕
I feel you Dani. I've been struggling with anorexia for 3 years, and I haven't told anyone. I also suffer from a pretty hard health anxity, and honestly, health anxiety is sooo underrated because there's literally nothing worse
Dani you're powerful, strong, gorgeous, intelligent, brilliant, and you have no shame and no reasons to be embarrassed. With your content, you have been so helpful to me. Please try to remain positive and look forward. You absolutely can do it, since you has overcome with a lot of things in the past. You have to be proud of yourself because you are doing great. A big hug, if you need some help, we are here for you ❤🍀🌻
Dani, thank you for your honesty. This might be one of my favorite videos you’ve made! You have grown so much (I’ve been with you since the old days, your gym phase lol). I believe you will fully recover one day🫡 You have come so far♥️ Thank you for being brave and encouraging others. You’ve helped me with my own recovery journey, and I’ll say this kind of vulnerability is what genuinely helps the most. Love ya🤍🤍
So incredibly proud of you! It takes so much courage to be real, raw and honest. Keep showing up as your authentic self. The good, the bad, and everything in between. We are all human and experience hardships and are vulnerable. Sending love peace and strength 🩷🩷 I’m currently (trying) on a WG journey and I’m here for it. And you !
its very helpful for me when you talk about your mental health problems, because it shows that that is normal and i (and probably many more) am not alone. i know being perceived is scary! when i noticed your weightloss i just got worried that something might be off, not judging your worth based off your appearance i am really happy to hear, that you are motivated to change your life for the better again! i think its really important that you post content that is not about eating disorders, because you are so much more than that. showing vulnerability is so strong, and everyone is struggling at some points. we can get through this together, no need to keep up appearances or be perfect. i also struggle a lot with depression and falling back into old habits when i just dont have the energy to be strong. and i am also very lonely and isolated, it comes with the illness as well. i hope this makes you feel less alone and anxious about putting yourself out there. i am actually excited for your weight gain journey as i am currently also gaining weight and its really motivating to see you being happy about it. i wish you so well
Echale ganas Dani. You are beautiful ❤️ you are strong, you are such an amazing person, and you are an inspiration to so many people. You will get thru this with your family and with all of us. We are here for you 🙏🙏
Thank you, for beeing so honest - it helps a lot with feeling understood and not so alone with struggling; you are incredable strong and I really look up to you! Keep growing :))
You're super brave Dani, thank you for sharing. Keep putting yourself first and don't feel pressured to be anyone but yourself or even upload if you're not feeling it, we'll be here girl🙏🏾💛
Hi, Dani! Thank you for sharing your story, You don't know how much it helps. Regarding the controlling situation, something that has helped me a lot is telling myself that "Organizing isn't controlling." I am a very all or nothing person, who happens to struggle with the same mental illness. But reminding myself that phrase has been so helpful, and I hope it can help you too!
Omg I've been there with the constipation pains. I've had it that bad but never went to the emergency room but almost did. Scared me. I'm glad you're doing better with it! ❤❤ But it's ok to talk about the negative on your channel because people like us support you and and can be there for you and send you lots of love. ❤
I'm the same way when it come to habits. The struggle is real! Thank you for sharing and being so open. You are helping so many people. And just remember that we all have mental struggles. Its absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. You are not a burden to anyone. Stay strong. You are doing a great job❤
Hey Dani! I’m a silent viewer. But I was in Atlanta this weekend & was hoping so hard I’d see you somewhere in public. lol I know, weird. But, I pray that God gives you the physical & mental healing you need. ♥️ You’ll be in my prayers! Please take the following as a suggestion out of love. But, since you already love reading books, have you thought about starting to read the Bible? Let me just share a little about my physical & mental struggles as well. This whole year has been the most challenging for me. I also struggle w OCD & HATE change. Yet, this year I got pregnant, but sadly lost my baby, moved to a state where I have no family or friends, just my husband, got married & working a job I dislike that’s extremely demanding. But you know what I gained from all this? Getting to know God, developing an ongoing relationship with Him, became a Christian & now I seek him in every problem. Of course, life will never be perfect, we’ll always have struggles, but I think you should give it a try. It’s helped me have more faith & my health is slowly getting better too. I also have been struggling w stomach problems since May of this year. So like I said, I identified w you so much. Piénsalo, por favor. 🙏🏼 Take care & sending you many virtual hugs! 🤗
YOU ARE NOT WEIRD omg you should’ve told me we could’ve met up!!! Thank you so so much for sharing that I’m sorry life hasn’t been easy on you, you deserve so much better and I believe it’ll come to you later on! You just have to push through the hard times to get to the good ones ❤️ I’m sending you all my love and support!!
wow dani this video requires so much courage to post, im so so proud of you. recently with stress and everything my ED has also been relapsing and i was feeling really done with fighting it and i wanted to give up, but this video was such a lift-me-up. we can get through this together dani! you're not alone, we're all in this together ❤ also i had to come back and add, you always say you have a hard time coming up with words when you talk, but when i listen to talk i can’t stop thinking that you are actually really good at telling a story and communicating your thoughts. english is my first language but i honestly struggled to even put this comment together because i have a hard time putting when im thinking and feeling down into words, so im sorry if this isn’t expressing how much this video means to me. you should be so proud of yourself because you are so talented and are so strong and have so much worth :)
You’re so incredible thank you so much for this beautiful message omg 😭❤️❤️❤️ you have no idea how much I needed to read this!! Also I’m sending you all my love! We’re healing together 👯
Thank you for sharing! I understand why you didn't share it all for a long time. I am sure some comments wouldve made it worse then. I wish you the best of luck! We support you. And you worded this amazing. Your English is flourishing.❤
Thank you for making this video! I wish people could understand that there is so much contributing factors to "visible" weight fluctuations. Stress, chronic pain, digestive problems etc. I just started college and have been prayerfully keeping my ED in check and just had a friend of mine tell me it looks like I'm losing weight. I laughed nervously but honestly felt like crying. You aren't alone with the health anxiety, either. I also just found out I have bipolar disorder which the psychiatrist I saw wasn't taking seriously. I hope things start to get better for you ❤.
dani 😢 this made me so sad. I’m really sorry you’ve been struggling with this. I pray God places a hedge of protection and angels around you and healthier happier days ahead 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️
I made the same mistake this year and slightly fell back into old habits without consiously thinking about it. I feel like right now i am in a space where my ED brain is gone, but my body is far from recovered. I recently took a couple anatomy courses and the full scope of things you affect within ur own body was my prime motivation. I recently got a job that I really enjoy and have been super busy in college and my parents ought it to my attention that I lost weight, I didnt notice because like I said i don't really think about it, but I feel like as a community, we just need to figure out how to implement recovery into our busy lives.
Thank you for this video, as I lately feel like the only one who's struggling rn. 😢 Sadly im struggling with body image and binge eating ,but I feel that with perseverance I'll be forever free from this monster . You are really helping me and watching your videos ( WIEID ), are giving me hope that someday I'll make forever peace with food ❤ Sending you a lot of love and health from Rome Good bless you Dani and eventhough your struggling PLEASE don't give up ❤
Thank you for sharing your story! It’s a good thing to be authentic and share your struggles! Were you eating all the food you were posting while struggling? It seems like it would be hard to lose that much weight if you were eating all you showed us.
Hola Dani, I have some of the same feelings and struggles as you. I often keep everything to myself because I don't want to bother or trigger anyone but I've noticed that it only makes things worse for me. Please don't be afraid to speak up. You're so blessed because you have a family who cares so much & is there for you and we're here for you too ❤ Nobody is perfect and that's okay. I watch you because I love your personality, you're strong and you're an inspiration to many of us. Keep going Dani, love you so much! ❤
Thank you for your vulnerability. As someone with Crohn’s disease, I know how hopeless life can feel with constant stomach pain. I’m so glad you trusted your body and got help
It's so hard to talk about but finally got the courage to do so… I’m sorry you’ve been struggling with Crohn’s I am sending you all my love and support ❤️❤️❤️
Oh Dani, once again I am so inspired and proud of your honesty and courage 🥹 By being true to yourself, you have made me and many other people feel seen and validated in their struggles. You are honestly one of my biggest idols and inspiration right now 💖 You do not have to change who you are to be a certain way to others because you are amazing just how you are and you only have to change for YOU! Keep going because we love you sooooooooooooo much 💞
Thank you so much for trusting us enough to be open and honest ❤ I have so much respect for you, I feel like I am on this journey with you. You inspire me, Dani! You should be so proud of yourself and your commitment to the process. Love you girly 🩷
i'm also trying to recover and your wieiad videos has helped me a lot and still it does, i wanted to give u a hug while watching this. we'll heal soon, love u dani, take care♡
Wohhhhhhhh, girl. If you're here to perform for us, we don't want it. I would guess that the majority of people found your channel as part of their own recovery journey, so we expect you to be your authentic self, no matter if you're struggling or not. As a recovery youtuber, you're part of a community that inherently shares struggles and is designed and meant to be a *supportive* community. Of course, we all have self doubt, we all question how much is TMI, what might be triggering to someone else, but in the end we're all here looking for authenticity. Anything less just adds to the stigma and misunderstanding surrounding ED/mental heath/recovery. Be here, Dani. We want you. People will call you out on weight loss out of a place of love, and that might be hard to hear, but you're putting yourself out there, so here we are. Bottom line, keep going. Fuck the self doubt, fuck everyone who stands in the way of anything you want (including yourself). One of my best friends in from Bogota; I'd love to see you eating some traditional/cultural foods! All the love Dani xoxo
Hi Dani This time may be difficult, but it will pass and you will become better. I have been following you for a while and I know that you are a strong and brave person. It is okay to feel tired at times and take a break, but remember that this time will pass. I apologize, my English is not good 😅
We love you, i felt so sad when you blocked me in every instagram and tiktok account trying worried to make you open your eyes. I cannot see u anymore. We worry and tell you cause we care. We are here for you even when you dont see it ❤
The same thing happened to me. When I went IP in 2021, I was told to stop using the miralax because "it's bad for you." I believed it. Spent 3 years eating everyday without miralax and ended up with severe fecal impaction in the ER 10 mos ago. I'm awaiting my colonoscopy now. Just horrible. You're brave for continuing recovery in light of this. I'm sure as fuck not doing it. I feel absolutely betrayed and angry because I complained of constipation and gut issues about 2 years ago with no help from my providers. I am not recovering for them or myself. They'll have to watch me suffer for the rest of my life because of what they put me through; what they put us and other girls through. I don't give a fuck. What difference does it make? They can't kill me, so. Might as well force them to act.
Being a member of The Enduring Anorexia Club is not for the weak. You’ve got a lot of girls behind you, and we will win… I’m proud of you. Keep going. Love from your Enduring Sister.
@danifernandez.g Awiee 🥺!! This means a lot to me . I always feel so lonely in this struggle coz ppl around me never consider it as a struggle, or even have mental health awareness 😓. Sending you lots of love and strength gurll 💗. You've did it before and surely overcome this ❤️
OMGGGG i have the same thing occur to me last year during the same time im still expierincing it but now I just dont talk to anyone about it becasue I feel like they think im lying
Hola Dani, una cosa: ¿No deberias tomar anticonceptivas durante un tiempo para tener la regla?. Lo digo porque a mi me las dieron hasta que se me regulo, porque no tener la regla tanto tiempo puede causar osteoporosis. Mucho animo💗
@@danifernandez.gLo se, pero es mucho peor no tener la regla. Lo suyo es tomarlas durante unos meses mientras se regulan las hormonas y luego cuando tu cuerpo ya pueda producir la regla por si solo dejarlas. Lo digo porque yo he pasado por eso y he ido a muchos ginecólogos
I love you Dani. You have helped me with my mental health more than anyone else has and your vulnerability is beyond admirable. I truly light up when you pop up on my feed or you’ve posted a new video (no matter what the video is - you could put on a trash bag and stare at the camera for 30 minutes in silence and I would still eat up the full video LOL). You deserve to be treated with so much love and compassion, and I want you to know that I, alongside so many others, are so proud of you. I know it can feel like you have no reason to fight for your mental health, but you do. You have us. You have followers who will support through it all, and will never look down on you for your struggles. You are so strong for everything you’ve endured, and once again, we are SO PROUD of you🤍🤍🤍
Please don’t suffer in silence 😊❤️🩹 had same stomach issues prior to getting to real recovery last Oct- I felt the relapse and the avoidance of the tough stuff so I pulled back - your honesty is helpful! I was seriously inspired by you the 2 years before and I’m in total recovery now - though always aware it can come back - totally relate with OCD too - ED relapse can look different than how it started- that’s what I learned in my 40 years of dealing with it. Keep up the authenticity! You are still an inspiration!

We are all human and experience hardships and are vulnerable. Sending love peace and strength 🩷🩷 I’m currently (trying) on a WG journey and I’m here for it. And you !
Thank you for this Sarah ❤️
its very helpful for me when you talk about your mental health problems, because it shows that that is normal and i (and probably many more) am not alone.
i know being perceived is scary! when i noticed your weightloss i just got worried that something might be off, not judging your worth based off your appearance
i am really happy to hear, that you are motivated to change your life for the better again!
i think its really important that you post content that is not about eating disorders, because you are so much more than that.
showing vulnerability is so strong, and everyone is struggling at some points. we can get through this together, no need to keep up appearances or be perfect.
i also struggle a lot with depression and falling back into old habits when i just dont have the energy to be strong. and i am also very lonely and isolated, it comes with the illness as well.
i hope this makes you feel less alone and anxious about putting yourself out there.
i am actually excited for your weight gain journey as i am currently also gaining weight and its really motivating to see you being happy about it.
i wish you so well
Good to know now ❤️

Omg I've been there with the constipation pains. I've had it that bad but never went to the emergency room but almost did. Scared me. I'm glad you're doing better with it! ❤❤ But it's ok to talk about the negative on your channel because people like us support you and and can be there for you and send you lots of love. ❤
Thank you for your support it means the world to me, love you! ❤❤
I'm the same way when it come to habits. The struggle is real! Thank you for sharing and being so open. You are helping so many people. And just remember that we all have mental struggles. Its absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. You are not a burden to anyone. Stay strong. You are doing a great job❤
Hey Dani! I’m a silent viewer. But I was in Atlanta this weekend & was hoping so hard I’d see you somewhere in public. lol I know, weird. But, I pray that God gives you the physical & mental healing you need. ♥️ You’ll be in my prayers! Please take the following as a suggestion out of love. But, since you already love reading books, have you thought about starting to read the Bible? Let me just share a little about my physical & mental struggles as well. This whole year has been the most challenging for me. I also struggle w OCD & HATE change. Yet, this year I got pregnant, but sadly lost my baby, moved to a state where I have no family or friends, just my husband, got married & working a job I dislike that’s extremely demanding. But you know what I gained from all this? Getting to know God, developing an ongoing relationship with Him, became a Christian & now I seek him in every problem. Of course, life will never be perfect, we’ll always have struggles, but I think you should give it a try. It’s helped me have more faith & my health is slowly getting better too. I also have been struggling w stomach problems since May of this year. So like I said, I identified w you so much.
Piénsalo, por favor. 🙏🏼 Take care & sending you many virtual hugs! 🤗
YOU ARE NOT WEIRD omg you should’ve told me we could’ve met up!!! Thank you so so much for sharing that I’m sorry life hasn’t been easy on you, you deserve so much better and I believe it’ll come to you later on! You just have to push through the hard times to get to the good ones ❤️ I’m sending you all my love and support!!
wow dani this video requires so much courage to post, im so so proud of you. recently with stress and everything my ED has also been relapsing and i was feeling really done with fighting it and i wanted to give up, but this video was such a lift-me-up. we can get through this together dani! you're not alone, we're all in this together ❤
also i had to come back and add, you always say you have a hard time coming up with words when you talk, but when i listen to talk i can’t stop thinking that you are actually really good at telling a story and communicating your thoughts. english is my first language but i honestly struggled to even put this comment together because i have a hard time putting when im thinking and feeling down into words, so im sorry if this isn’t expressing how much this video means to me. you should be so proud of yourself because you are so talented and are so strong and have so much worth :)
You’re so incredible thank you so much for this beautiful message omg 😭❤️❤️❤️ you have no idea how much I needed to read this!! Also I’m sending you all my love! We’re healing together 👯
Thank you for sharing! I understand why you didn't share it all for a long time. I am sure some comments wouldve made it worse then. I wish you the best of luck! We support you. And you worded this amazing. Your English is flourishing.❤
I really appreciate it, I was so nervous to share ❤️
Thank you for making this video! I wish people could understand that there is so much contributing factors to "visible" weight fluctuations. Stress, chronic pain, digestive problems etc. I just started college and have been prayerfully keeping my ED in check and just had a friend of mine tell me it looks like I'm losing weight. I laughed nervously but honestly felt like crying. You aren't alone with the health anxiety, either. I also just found out I have bipolar disorder which the psychiatrist I saw wasn't taking seriously. I hope things start to get better for you ❤.
I never thought you were struggling 😢😢 ❤❤ I can relate with you I love your channel and the person you have become ❤❤
love you so much!
dani 😢 this made me so sad. I’m really sorry you’ve been struggling with this. I pray God places a hedge of protection and angels around you and healthier happier days ahead 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️
I made the same mistake this year and slightly fell back into old habits without consiously thinking about it. I feel like right now i am in a space where my ED brain is gone, but my body is far from recovered. I recently took a couple anatomy courses and the full scope of things you affect within ur own body was my prime motivation. I recently got a job that I really enjoy and have been super busy in college and my parents ought it to my attention that I lost weight, I didnt notice because like I said i don't really think about it, but I feel like as a community, we just need to figure out how to implement recovery into our busy lives.
Thank you for this video, as I lately feel like the only one who's struggling rn. 😢
Sadly im struggling with body image and binge eating ,but I feel that with perseverance I'll be forever free from this monster .
You are really helping me and watching your videos ( WIEID ), are giving me hope that someday I'll make forever peace with food ❤
Sending you a lot of love and health from Rome
Good bless you Dani and eventhough your struggling PLEASE don't give up ❤
Sending you all my love ❤️
Thank you Dani! Likewise ❤
keep fighting Dani!! you got this :) sending you love from california ❤️❤️
Thank you so much, love you! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your story! It’s a good thing to be authentic and share your struggles! Were you eating all the food you were posting while struggling? It seems like it would be hard to lose that much weight if you were eating all you showed us.
Hola Dani, I have some of the same feelings and struggles as you. I often keep everything to myself because I don't want to bother or trigger anyone but I've noticed that it only makes things worse for me. Please don't be afraid to speak up. You're so blessed because you have a family who cares so much & is there for you and we're here for you too ❤ Nobody is perfect and that's okay. I watch you because I love your personality, you're strong and you're an inspiration to many of us. Keep going Dani, love you so much! ❤
I'm so glad to hear that you're connecting with this video, I love you! ❤
Remember you are not a burden you are a blessing
@@jesseslifeisdolls you’re so sweet thank you ❤️
You are amazing Dani!!
Thank you for showing this side too,and sharing🙏🏻

I appreciate you so much, thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your vulnerability. As someone with Crohn’s disease, I know how hopeless life can feel with constant stomach pain. I’m so glad you trusted your body and got help
It's so hard to talk about but finally got the courage to do so… I’m sorry you’ve been struggling with Crohn’s I am sending you all my love and support ❤️❤️❤️
Oh Dani, once again I am so inspired and proud of your honesty and courage 🥹 By being true to yourself, you have made me and many other people feel seen and validated in their struggles. You are honestly one of my biggest idols and inspiration right now 💖 You do not have to change who you are to be a certain way to others because you are amazing just how you are and you only have to change for YOU! Keep going because we love you sooooooooooooo much 💞
Love you so much thank you for being here ❤️
@@danifernandez.g thank you for being here too 💕 You make me feel so much less alone and you always have friends here ❤️🥰
Don’t worry Dani you aren’t alone and we are so proud of you ❤
Thank you Sophie ❤️
Thank you so much for trusting us enough to be open and honest ❤ I have so much respect for you, I feel like I am on this journey with you. You inspire me, Dani! You should be so proud of yourself and your commitment to the process. Love you girly 🩷
Love you so much, I feel the same! ❤️🔥
Hey i just wanna say that im very thankful for you being here with us❤️ you are amazing

My heart broke when I saw the title. I can’t wait to see this new journey and its positive results 🫶
Thank you so much queen ❤️

You got this!❤️❤️
Dani, you’re so strong, you can do it❤ glad you could talk to us🥹
Thank you for listening ❤️
Thank you for your honesty 🤍🤍
Thank you for watching, I appreciate you so much ❤️
Wohhhhhhhh, girl. If you're here to perform for us, we don't want it. I would guess that the majority of people found your channel as part of their own recovery journey, so we expect you to be your authentic self, no matter if you're struggling or not. As a recovery youtuber, you're part of a community that inherently shares struggles and is designed and meant to be a *supportive* community. Of course, we all have self doubt, we all question how much is TMI, what might be triggering to someone else, but in the end we're all here looking for authenticity. Anything less just adds to the stigma and misunderstanding surrounding ED/mental heath/recovery. Be here, Dani. We want you. People will call you out on weight loss out of a place of love, and that might be hard to hear, but you're putting yourself out there, so here we are. Bottom line, keep going. Fuck the self doubt, fuck everyone who stands in the way of anything you want (including yourself).
One of my best friends in from Bogota; I'd love to see you eating some traditional/cultural foods!
All the love Dani xoxo
You're amazing Dani! You help me a lot 🫶🏼
Thank you so much, you mean the world to me!!❤️
Hi Dani
This time may be difficult, but it will pass and you will become better. I have been following you for a while and I know that you are a strong and brave person. It is okay to feel tired at times and take a break, but remember that this time will pass. I apologize, my English is not good 😅
Thank you for being here ❤️
this was so motivating you go grr
Haha I’m so glad ❤️
Love you🌸 and thanks of being exist
Love you thank you for listening ❤️
Hi dani you're so strong you can do this
We love you, i felt so sad when you blocked me in every instagram and tiktok account trying worried to make you open your eyes. I cannot see u anymore. We worry and tell you cause we care. We are here for you even when you dont see it ❤
Thank you so much ❤️
The same thing happened to me. When I went IP in 2021, I was told to stop using the miralax because "it's bad for you." I believed it. Spent 3 years eating everyday without miralax and ended up with severe fecal impaction in the ER 10 mos ago. I'm awaiting my colonoscopy now. Just horrible.
You're brave for continuing recovery in light of this. I'm sure as fuck not doing it. I feel absolutely betrayed and angry because I complained of constipation and gut issues about 2 years ago with no help from my providers.
I am not recovering for them or myself. They'll have to watch me suffer for the rest of my life because of what they put me through; what they put us and other girls through. I don't give a fuck. What difference does it make? They can't kill me, so. Might as well force them to act.
Being a member of The Enduring Anorexia Club is not for the weak. You’ve got a lot of girls behind you, and we will win… I’m proud of you. Keep going.
Love from your Enduring Sister.
Omg no I’m so sorry I hope everything is better now I’m sending you all my love ❤️
You’re beautiful ❤
Yes please 🙌 21:48 same here

Hola Dani, una cosa: ¿No deberias tomar anticonceptivas durante un tiempo para tener la regla?.
Lo digo porque a mi me las dieron hasta que se me regulo, porque no tener la regla tanto tiempo puede causar osteoporosis.
Mucho animo💗
Hola!! Las anti conceptivas no te dan un periodo”real”
@@danifernandez.gLo se, pero es mucho peor no tener la regla. Lo suyo es tomarlas durante unos meses mientras se regulan las hormonas y luego cuando tu cuerpo ya pueda producir la regla por si solo dejarlas. Lo digo porque yo he pasado por eso y he ido a muchos ginecólogos
🩵🥹🩵🥹🩵🥹🩵 Sending you Hugs . 🤗
I want to hug you 🥹🥹🥹
I love you Dani. You have helped me with my mental health more than anyone else has and your vulnerability is beyond admirable. I truly light up when you pop up on my feed or you’ve posted a new video (no matter what the video is - you could put on a trash bag and stare at the camera for 30 minutes in silence and I would still eat up the full video LOL). You deserve to be treated with so much love and compassion, and I want you to know that I, alongside so many others, are so proud of you. I know it can feel like you have no reason to fight for your mental health, but you do. You have us. You have followers who will support through it all, and will never look down on you for your struggles. You are so strong for everything you’ve endured, and once again, we are SO PROUD of you🤍🤍🤍
HAHAHA you’re so sweet stop it 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’m so thankful for your support means so so much to me ❤️❤️❤️
Please don’t suffer in silence 😊❤️🩹 had same stomach issues prior to getting to real recovery last Oct- I felt the relapse and the avoidance of the tough stuff so I pulled back - your honesty is helpful! I was seriously inspired by you the 2 years before and I’m in total recovery now - though always aware it can come back - totally relate with OCD too - ED relapse can look different than how it started- that’s what I learned in my 40 years of dealing with it. Keep up the authenticity! You are still an inspiration!
I'm so sorry to hear that you've been struggling again sweet girl 💖 you are not alone 🫂 thank you for your honesty
Thank you for being here ❤️
honestly a therapist never helped me too, i have a lifestyle food trainer coach now, she is not a therapist but helped me the most🥲😭
Hope it helps you heal ❤️
