Wow, watching this in Dec 2024 after following you from the xmas taste tests. I had no idea you had an eating disorder history. Very helpful video. I do pole fitness too. Agree it is so good!!!

Hi Caz thsnks for being an amazing friend and amazing person through and through keep it up 😊😊👍👍👍

Thank you for this sharing Caz. It’s really good to hear you say you feel as though you are coming out of this relapse. You’ve worked incredibly hard to get to where you are and it’s good to be able to hear a bit about your motivations. Your pole dancing is incredible (from what little I’ve seen!) I found it helpful particularly to listen to the question and your answer about the weighing because that is something I really want to stop myself but feel like I continuously fail in my attempts to do so! Ironically I never weighed myself so much until I had an IP admission where they did it daily. That was the beginning of an obsessive relationship with them for me, around 20 years ago now so it’s about time I cracked it and you provide me with renewed motivation when I hear you talking about it. I agree with you about mindful eating not being very helpful in ED recovery. Well certainly not for everyone anyway. I am quite particular about what I find I can use for distraction though and your videos (all different ones) are definitely a good one for me. Sending my best wishes. Take care x

I posted the question about guilt with weight gain and im really struggling so thankyou for being so open about it I really struggle with compulsive exercising and feeling like if i dont meet my daily goal its a failure and i dont deserve food Im about to be on outpatients and am struggling with alot of what you feel like with body image and mourning my smaller self and all the changes I truely hate my body and being bigger than i was even a few weeks ago, and I'm trying to engage with my therapist and doctors but it just doesn't feel like its working, i still cant stop looking at myself and comparing myself when seeing reflections and windows and being around people How did you cope with the physical refeeding symptoms like nausea, bloating, sickness, constipation and all the recovery things people don't talk about as much? I've been hit really bad with it unfortunately and am just constantly feeling sick but also hungry but also full so feel very confused with my emotions and what to listen to Im definitely at the miserable stage where i want to just step out my body like its a swim suit
