thank you so much for this!! ever since i was younger ive always been labelled as the “skinny kid” and the first thing people would say to me was “youre so skinny”. but during puberty, i realized i could no longer see my ribs and got so scared of losing my identity as “the skinny kid” that i decided i had to use any means possible to maintain and lose weight. even now, people still comment on my weight whenever they see me (esp when i meet people for the first time) so thank you thank you thank you for reminding me that weight is not the only identity i have because i find it so difficult to let it go as my mind believes its the only thing that makes me, me.
your videos have helped me in my ED recovery so much im so greatful for your videos and send you so much love its so hard sometimes but you make me feel less lost and alone!
Amazing. One of my mantras that I say to myself is: “Recovering is a doing word. It’s not to do, it’s not done, it’s doing.” I’m also training to be a therapist because of my mental health struggles. Recovery is tough, but eating disorders don’t pick on weak people. Let’s keep going together.
i love this quote! thank you so much for sharing ❤️ i think being a therapist who has had struggles themselves gives you such a level of empathy for the people you will help 🫶🏻 but make sure you are always prioritising your well-being too, can’t pour from an empty cup as i often tell people 🤭
This video is incredibly helpful!! Im so proud of you for how far youve come, and i wanted to thank you for helping me get through my recovery❤️ ive noticed that recovery for me has been harder, and i have relapsed... But i am planning my way toward full recovery for real this time, so I'm making a playlist of all the ed recovery videos that genuinely help me and modivate me to move foward, so if i ever am at a low point again, i can go back to the playlist and watch them again : )
Thank you so much for such a lovely comment and i’m so so pleased to hear that you found the video helpful for your own recovery journey! Remember, a relapse doesn’t mean we are back to square one, and it sounds like you’re doing everything you can to get back on the recovery tracks ❤️
You've done so well and we're all so proud of you on how far you've come, truly an inspiration. I want to be able to do what you do but I still have so much fear of being "healthy" and getting my period back because I see that as a negative and it's keeping me stuck. Would be so helpful if you had any tips to help change/manage those thoughts and just accept it.
So so proud of you Milly❤️❤️ I’ve been gaining more and more confident to challenge myself and just seeing the freedom you now have with food is what’s keeping me motivated to keep fighting💕 So so grateful for you and Happy Lammas❤️
FYI if you cut bread right after it gets out of the oven it’s still raw and doughy in the middle, usually you have to wait like one to two hours after it’s finished cooking before eating it Learned that the hard way, hope it helps :)
God I am so proud, deepest respect to you for how far you have come. Thank you for sharing your experiences and learnings, super helpful! You are such an inspiration and I wish you the best! I know how hard it still must be, but u are stronger ❤❤
Thank you so much Milly, you are amazing and are helping so much people including me. I just want to know one thing: how do you manage to recover while going to university? I have been trying to recover for almost 2 years but each time school begins work, stress, and time make me slow down my recovery and make it also so much harder than it is already :( I will be in my university in two weeks and I am already afraid to slow down my recovery but I know that I won’t stand to stay ill any longer, does anyone have some advices? :/
Hi Hanna, thanks for commenting and i’m so glad the videos are helpful for you 🫶🏻 I actually graduated last year, just before I entered recovery so I can’t say too much on the topic, but I do have an older (sort of embarrassing) video about managing EDs whilst at uni which might help? x
TW!! I struggle with black and white thinking due to my autism(not 100% diagnosed) and i used to binge alot when I was younger then i developed Anorexia and I either eat enoughISH but still have those disorderd thoughts or binge till i feel sick I struggle to find a healthy balance and other recovery channels tell me give yourself the permisson to eat all the time but I would binge I am weight restored and have been the fat kid since I was young, I am kinda skinny but hate my body alot and I dont really know how to recovery since I go from on extreme to the other. I struggle with sh so i kinda need an other coping mechasim and thats binging but then I sh if I hate my body to much or smth else. I feel like everyone judges me for my looks and its been years. And i feel like nobody cares anymore since I gained alot of weight back. I just dont know how to recover sometimes i tell myself you are probably gonna die young so just eat but thats not a solution. Sometimes i eat because i am bored I just wanna fill a void in my i feel really empty due to mental ilness and try to fill it with food I have other problems too so this is really overwhelming i just dont know how to recover probably.
I have now watched your video three times. Totally brilliant and is really helping. Can I ask what finally made you decide to recover and did your boyfriend get any help Thank you xxx
oh wow thank you so much angel i’m so glad the video helped 🫶🏻 so i finally fully committed myself to both recovery and weight gain around christmas last year (so i was in a sort of semi-recovery between august and then) when i realised how sad it had made all my family, and tbh my whole life, and i just wanted to be able to do everything i wanted without people worrying about me. i also wanted to be able to enjoy christmas without fear as it’s one of my fave times of the year - i’m determined to fully enjoy it this time!! my boyfriend doesn’t have support, but the service i’m with does offer support groups for family & loved ones x hope this helps! xx always here
@@millyisliving thank you. I’m a much older lady who has had this for decades. It has taken so much of my life, makes the people who love me, worry and has ruined so much. There is no pleasure, I hate it but I fear recovery so much more. I have a really good therapist but I’m unable to commit which makes me feel rubbish. Thank you so much for your videos, keep fighting xxxxx
