No food is as unhealthy as an eating disorder. Being able to ENJOY food is just as (if not more) important as fuelling your body for optimal health 🙏🏼 Food is such an integral part of connecting with people and nothing is worth ruining those moments by obsessing over the nutritional value. Choosing recovery is the only way if you want to be able to reach your potential and LIVE life to the fullest✨ As ‘wrong’ as it will feel initially, I promise the temporary discomfort is SO worth the long-term freedom you gain 💕 If you can’t do it for yourself, remember that you can only show up fully for others if you nourish yourself properly first. Thank you for being such a positive light in this space, Ro 🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@RoMitchell]

yes yes yes x1000 - love this sm

[@maros495]

I mean it only counts until you are not anorectic . Being obese is unhealthy . And eating dry food with lot of protein without fruits made me kidney stones which is far worse pain then anyting other .So eat everything . But if oyu get bmi over 25 you should rethink it :D

Just wanna point out that you're absolutely glowing rn. You look so damn energetic and alive, seeing you brightens my day. 💕

[@RoMitchell]

thank you!!✨🫶🏻

[@thaisR0D]

Had so much fun seeing you make Rabanadas! this is a Brazilian must have for xmas in every part of the country so it was really nice to see how an English person would make it. Glad that you like it :) If you ever feel like it make it again, we don't usually add the milk and egg mix in the frying pan - we just dip both sides of the bread slices on the mix and then fry them. To avoid wasting the mix we just make a lot of them lol

[@mollymaclean9957]

Same as what we do in France with pain perdu, very similar fried eggy bread (I think English have it too) ❤

[@apaperlover7246]

Here in Spain we have something quite similar we call it “torrijas”, although everything grandma has her own variation of it, mine uses butter to fry them

[@luann4691]

i love to see how you show more and more of your true self in every video. i've been here since the beginning and i am so so proud of you! keep going and i wish you the most lovely christmas, you deserve it☃️🎄🎁🤍🤍🤍

Hi, Ro! Im a 19 yo girl, from Brazil🇧🇷 in anorexia recovery and i just want you to know that your channel helps me a lot and you're an inspiration for me. Glad you liked the Rabanada 💚💚💚

[@emilym1280]

It’s been a while since I checked in, due to life becoming busy after meeting my partner. But this video really made me smile, it was like catching up with a friend. Your eyes are so sparkly and you’re glowing from the inside out. I’m so sorry for the car incident - I’m glad everyone was okay, and I hope the insurance company sorted everything out. Sending love! x

[@RoMitchell]

life becoming busy is a good thing! thanks for this lovely comment - you’re so kind. all my love x

ro eating brazilian food is a moment for me because i'm brazilian, and she trying speak rabana make my day.

[@hi-lw7rs]

Dear ro, this is my first time commenting on any of your videos. I just wanted to say how much of a support you have been in my journey to recovery. I have been in recovery for about 10 months now and recently hit setpoint weight. Your videos helped me get through my mealplans, challenge fearfoods, and cope with the guilt after eating. Thank you so so much, I wish you all the best

[@Robby_strong]

Yay she's back! How are the holidays going for everyone?

[@RoMitchell]

🥰🥰

[@mickai2]

The holidays are going pretty well for me. There's been a few challenges to push through and more to come but I've been focusing on making memories more than anything. How about you :)?

[@Undercover_Pineapple]

Your reaction to the car collision is so so relatable. It's so hard to cope with. I like techniques like the light stream technique and grounding/breathing exercises to try and bring myself down from the panic. So proud of how you handled the situation and allowed yourself to acknowledge how you feel and trying to calm yourself as well as still fueling your body. You're amazing 💜

[@gabiferrazoli2253]

a tip for rabanadas, don't pour the milk over the bread once is in the pan and also add condensed milk to the wet mixture, this is the brazilian version :)

[@elna5015]

So fun we also do the Brazilian/Portuguese lunch in Switzerland we call it « lost bread » and we do it when we have bread who dried! Happy to hear that everyone is safe after the accident! Have a merry Christmas Ro 🎄❣️

[@simplestudio28]

No amount of words could explain how comforting your videos are. The Greatest, am reyt proud of you, of how far you've come and others including me that went along with you on your journey. Loads of love, Ro and merry Christmas🤍🤍🤍

[@blancas-j7093]

I got so excited when you tried stollen because that has always been my favorite Christmas food. My family is German, I'm Canadian but it brings our family together when we bake it over the holidays. Nothing beats homemade stollen in December.

[@Lalybellule-]

Your channel is a safe place for me ! Thank you so much ❤

[@harmonyhope1709]

Bless you sweetheart for what happened on your way to Costco. That's sooo hard to deal with, especially during the treatment of PTSD no wonder you went above and beyond your "window of tolerance" I'm glad you're not badly injured physically,but hopefully mentally you've got over it a bit more. Panic attacks ARE exhausting so I'm glad to see you let yourself rest and just as importanlty continue to eat properly afterwards 💪❤️🌈✨ well done for continuing with the video. Loved the Anglo -sizing of the meals 😛🤣 have a good week sweetie and have a WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS if w don't see you before xxx

I couldn't agree more with all of the lovely comments here. You are radiating such joy and peace and it's truly magnetic. Thank you for continuing to create such helpful videos. I was curious if you'd moved back home as well. I'm sure that would be a huge blessing, as your parents are incredible. Sending lots of love and Merry Christmas, Ro!! ❤️❤️

[@winifredandhuman5981]

Ro! You look so blumming pretty like omg! I love your hair! Can I say also as someone who is struggling with an eating disorder I love watching your channel makes me feel slightly better every time you post 💖

[@karakash6059]

I'm an American and as an American may I suggest that instead of eating apple pie with whipped cream try it with vanilla ice cream (we call it a la mode) as it is more traditionally eaten that way in the US. The hot pie and cold ice cream makes it a yummy gooey delight. I hope you had a merry Christmas and happy new year!

[@deecohen1383]

Love your bangs n hairstyle! Been watching for a lnnnng time since you started your recovery journey. You are freaking AMAZING I hope you kmow that

[@indigo3610]

These rabanadas are actually not exlusively from brasil but are also a traditional austrian/german dish that we eat during the traditional fasting time before easter (or used to since most people don‘t fast anymore Even in they‘re religious) and we call it „Pofesen“ or „Alter Ritter“. It was basically a way to not let old bread get to waste. Greetings from Austria, I love learning about british people and traditions,and i might even make an exchange-summer to London next year! I really love you videos, you always help me when I struggle with my relationship to food❤

[@indigo3610]

(BTW I hate Stollen so I get your reaction)

[@judith8160]

girl you look stunning! This hair and your eyes, breathtaking! And I am really not exaggerating❣️🌞

[@RoMitchell]

ahhh thank you ! 🤍

[@Jkjellman]

I literally just started eating fish as well, after having been vegetarian for years. Because I felt it was holding me back from fully recovering from my eating disorder. And I just wanted to thank you for posting about this. I’ve felt quite alone in it and this just made me feel a lot better❤️

[@mickai2]

Awesome video and I will definitely re-watch as many times as I need to. I think it's important to reassure yourself that the holidays don't have to be a scary thing and instead something to loof forward for. We only get them once a year so why waste it by depriving your body of what it wants/needs? :3

[@RoMitchell]

thank you so much. & that’s exactly why i’ve been making these videos !!

[@felicia8994]

Could you eat like your brother again? Like a pt 2? It was such a fun and good video that rlly comforted me :)) if no then can you eat like your mom or your dad for a day ? Youre so strong and such a big comfort for me!❤️

[@Fluffylover121]

If you’re still looking for suggestions and haven’t tried this yet (idk how common these are in the UK) you should try tamales 🫔 They’re a common part of Christmas celebrations in Mexico. They’re basically a dough made of steamed cornmeal in a corn husk or banana leaf and can be filled with pretty much anything, like any kind of meat or can be kept vegetarian and just filled with cheese or a vegetarian meat substitute. They’re so good! Anyway, loved this video and I’m so sorry about your car accident. Sending love ❤️

i agree that whipped cream is a little strange but vanilla ice cream is really good with warm apple pie!

[@amymcdonogh8384]

I am SO great full that I came across your channel! You have given me the inspiration to give REAL recovery a shot! I wonder if you have any tips of when you very first start refeeding tips on getting through stomach pains and carrying on eating when you don’t feel hungry?

[@SlugcatEmporium]

If you are looking for suggestions and haven't eaten this ever, you should try lefse! It's a Scandinavian holiday food, very very thin crepes made from potatoes (does not taste strongly of potato). It can be used sweet or savory. Lefse is eaten with things rolled up inside of them like meatballs, lingonberry preserves/cranberry sauce, or butter + sugar - the last one especially if you're a little kid, haha. People make it for all kinds of holidays but it's very common at Christmas.

[@RoMitchell]

wowww that actually sounds delicious 😯

[@SlugcatEmporium]

@@RoMitchell It was my favorite as a kid! I have never tried store-bought or restaurant lefse but I hope it would be just as tasty. Happy holidays. :3

[@jocelynfrantz3547]

American here! Honestly I'd say that at least where I live, it's more common to have apple pie with vanilla ice cream. Whipped cream is more of a pumpkin pie topping. Not that there is any wrong way to enjoy pie, though! Merry Christmas to you and yours!

[@RoMitchell]

this is what i’m hearing now from a lot of people hahaha! next time i’d defo try it with ice cream 🥰

Please please please try risengrød and maybe film it?!! It's basically a rice pudding topped with butter and cinnamon sugar and it's absolutely delicious!! I think it's meant to be a dessert, but I have actually never had it as a dessert - we always eat it for dinner 🫶 and then the next day you can turn it into an actual dessert called risalamande which you top with hot cherry sauce and you mix chopped almonds in it, I'm not sure how you make it, but you could search it up if you wanna try it ❤ it's a danish thing btw. Our roast dinner is also really good if you would want to try that. There's duck and roast pork with a brown sauce, white boiled potatoes, brown potatoes (Idk if that a thing in the uk, but it's potatoes fried in sugar and butter) and also red cabbage. I'm really sorry about that accident that happened, I can only imagine how scary that was. I hope you're okay ❤❤
