My Eating Disorder - My Parents Answer your Questions

My mom and dad were amazing enough to answer some questions you guys asked about what it was like for them when I was struggling with an eating disorder. They felt it was important to give some advice to you parents and loved ones of people suffering from this, and to share their experiences for this series. It was difficult for us to talk about, and I realized it was the first time we've really sat down to discuss our feelings around this. I'm so grateful that they were brave enough to do this with me. I love you mom and dad!! Thank you so much!! And thank you all for watching!! Please leave your comments and questions below. I love hearing from you guys!! Next week I meet Jonathan (my personal trainer) for the first time in NYC!!!

[@dawlfaceeee]

Ugh god, I hate when parents cry. Especially dads. The second her dad started to get choked up I started tearing up.

[@entyce69ttp]

its so amazing that you three got on here and talked about the pain this caused you! Im sure this will help so many young girls and soooo many parents and friends watching someone go threw it

[@alishazaman5350]

I think Kayli is REALLY brave for sharing this! Even though a few people are hating. 😣

[@notroxing]

You literally have the best mom on the planet! When you said "I just want to be skinny" So many times ive felt like that. i just want so bad to fit in sometimes that i would just love to o something that could work out for me. I've never been able to make myself stick with anything like an eating disorder but, i just crave skinnyness. i love you guys and you have helped me so so much.

[@ABF-nd6mp]

I love KZbin because you can watch anything at the click of a button. With tv it's only on for a certain period of time. Great job family ☺️

[@ColorDivaPRDR]

Your parents are simply a blessing!

[@mrsmommy81]

Watching again 4 years later✌🏻️❤️

[@jordan4713]

Kayli. I was sad when you were crying. I love your videos and you. Love you and stay strong.

[@sandeexo]

thank you kayli for making this video. you are so brave and strong! thank you to ur parents also :)

[@anojsharma]

Thank you for sharing this on you tube. I hope you have recovered now fully and god bless you.

[@LillianC]

Kayli, you're a beautiful soul...both inside and out.

[@YummyMegs]

Please talk to your mum about it, like Kayli's dad said in the video, things won't be any worse than how they are now. Opening up to my parents was one of the best things I've ever done, I never thought they would be so supportive but they helped me get out a very dark place and I'm sure yours could do the same. And if you really feel like you can't talk to them, talk to a trusted teacher or friend. Good luck x

[@Tinkers484]

Your Dad just makes me want to cry! He loves you so much! My father thinks my Bipolar is all in my head (lol, well it is kinda) and we don't talk.

[@JourneywithJill418]

I am right here as well, following YOU and your progress... I KNOW because of YOU and your speaking Your own Truths here with US ALL, here on KZbin... that You Will take Your life back and work on this and it Too Will Pass... Thank You for being Strong, and SO curageous to STAND Up for Yourself and many many others, and Share this with Us... LOVE & Light to YOU and Yours ~ )O( Blessings for YOU

[@Summeri3reeZ]

thank you so much for sharing :), I wished my parents had reacted the way yours did when I was going through this. And it helps me a lot to hear your story

[@kimberlyhofffxo]

You're such a beautiful inspiration Kayli.

[@pinkxvenom]

You're the best, Kayli!

[@selena78911]

Your so beautiful. Your loved. Your so grateful. I can't thank you enough for being such a good.. Good friend!

[@AshWillow89]

Made me cry

[@carliesimon8428]

I wonder how Casey dealt with it. Did he know? I know you said you guys started dating when you were 15.

[@kittybear9693]

Carlie Simon they both have food issues

[@xLunarOtaku]

This made me cry. :(

[@courtneyjo4151]

Kayli is just so beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ToriFurlotte]

Anyone noticed how instead of "you were" her parents say "you was" ;p

[@JustCaysee]

Can we just point out how pretty Kayli's mom is like OMG I see where kayli gets it from

[@carleydanielle8440]

this broke my heart I love her so much and it makes me so sad that she went through this and that so many people are affected by this. :(((

[@aimeemarie5462]

this was very touching... very random comment. Her parents look SO YOUNG! Wow!

[@avacapri13]

***** actually her moms was 15 when she had kayli

[@KairiBabi317]

Slightly annoyed that a Victoria's Secret commercial was the ad for this video. You go Kayli. I struggle more with my body image now that I am older (22) than I did when I was in high school. I am thankful to have my fiancé by my side to tell me I am beautiful no matter what.

[@hannahboebanna]

VS ew I’m sorry! I hope you’re doing better now x

[@leliza7161]

Brailee looks so like her grandpa

[@moungsaetern9076]

Agree

[@missylewis7210]

There's smth really wrong with these Butler women. They're all hiding big secrets. ugh.

[@ErisedMarauder]

I don't think i'm going to tell my family because I don't want to worry them, but from now on i'm really going to try and get better even if it will be hard.

[@ItsBriGames]

I was depressed and did things I wasn't proud of. I never wanted my parents to know because I didn't want them to think of me as a problem. But, when they found out, they were nothing but supportive of me and helped me through everything. Parents will worry. It's apart of being a parent. But it's better to go through things with others rather than alone :) If you'd like to confide in someone and you really don't want to tell your parents, please know people do care and if you'd like, I'm willing to be one of them. :) Things will get better if you try to make them that way.

[@20Unbelievable06]

this is a really late reply, but I felt it is still important. if you haven't told your parents yet, or anyone else. please talk to someone, anyone. you should not have to deal with this all by yourself. you deserve to be healthy. if you need someone to talk to, just message me.

[@jenii523]

Of course it's going to worry them but that's just what's gonna need to be done! they will worry in the best way and may be your only way to help. its important you tell your parents, even if right now you don't think so in the long run you will be grateful that you at least where open with them. If they worry they are worried because they love you and they want to understand and not let it destroy you. It's not about I don't want them to worry it's about this is a serious situation, and you can get help and be happy again. You should be open with them anyway it's not just you, it's them too, and you can be better and live the best life. And that's because you can turn it around WITH your family by your side, it can only help

[@makeupngaming9523]

My whole family thinks that my older sister has an eating disorder, but she always denies it. One time, I was home alone with her, and she passed out because she hadn't eaten anything that day. It's really hard to see my sister hurt herself and I don't know what to do because she doesn't want to talk to anyone about it. I've tried helping her but she doesn't seem to want to talk to anyone. It hurts my feelings because I feel like she feels she can't talk to me, and that she can't trust me. What should I do?

[@egiapdradoow]

my opinion, just let her know she can talk to you. not necessarily about having an eating disorder, but anything. tell her face to face, or even leave her a little note that you've seen things, and you worry, and that you want to help and be there for her. if she feels comfortable enough, I'm sure shell reach out to you somehow. even if it is sending little notes back and forth to each other every day lol hope everything works out :)

[@Lizzy_Garfield]

just pray for her

[@20Unbelievable06]

without expecting her to say anything at all, tell her that you see that she's suffering and that she can talk to you about anything. I think she needs to know you're there for her without feeling pressured.

[@laraviray9958]

I know big sisters someday

[@bartekzarzecki7678]

Kali, you are perfect and beautiful. Man I wish you were my wife. Casey is so so lucky

[@bartekzarzecki7678]

*kayli

[@ashantishi8548]

Kayli nobodys perfect, and that dosent mean that your still not beautiful everyone is.you dont have to worry about anyone judging you about your weight or how cute you are you are

[@lgallego127]

you are so strong for sharing this. hopefully this will help other people that are going through a similar situation.

[@shmethanyxx]

Wow. I remember stumbling across this video a few years ago - before I'd ever heard of the Shaytards or Kayli and Casey. And to find this again knowing more about Kayli. Crazy.

[@gx217dc]

Dude thats like meeting your mom not knowing that she's your mom... Thats cray!..

[@ashleyn8054]

ME TOO!!!

[@Sarapeaches23]

Kayli i love you so much. You inspire so many young girls.

[@1989katiefoster]

Her dad looks like he's 40

[@Maijatus98]

He must be older than that since Kayli already has her own children. My dad is 52 and I'm 16.

[@clairebelcher1492]

Wow! I am 10 and my dad is 62!

[@kathryngraham3048]

Im 10 my dad is 54

[@beccasimpson7064]

I'm 11 and my dad is 46 and my mum is 47

[@valentinaperlaza6087]

im 11 and my dad is 52

[@milliejaymoon]

Your honesty and courage in being so open about your story is admirable Kayli :) your an inspiration!

[@Suzanie100]

You are all ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL...So sweet. But not to forget as Christians God is the answer to EVERYTHING. PRAYER is the key my loves. The devil has a purpose in this world which is to steal, kill and destroy and he will find every way possible to accomplish them. But he can NEVER get to those that are strong in the Lord and have FAITH. You are a winner my love!! :) xxx

[@stephanie-dy3wp]

my mom yells at me...or goes watever u know wat ur doing...or just calls my anxiety around food stupid or me stupid....shes not suportive at all....ive dropped 20lbs while being away in college ..totaling 60 in 2.5 years ,,,im just afraid shes gonna yell at me when i go home

[@valerializarraga7331]

[@stephanie-dy3wp]

[@monikaschmidt5605]

what a sincere contribution to a problem so devastating. So real to see the effects of this so many years later....they are still working on it. Thank you!

[@baileyhoyt7158]

Am I the only one that cried or almost cried through this video because I sure did.

[@lucyjcx]

Crying right now this touched me and made me feel wanted bless u kayli💗❤️

[@aliciacannon861]

Kayli, this video is so inspirational. You are very brave to post this. Youre beautiful💕 dont let anyone tell you otherwise

[@beccasimpson7064]

Was I the only one who got tears in there eyes

[@foreverjulie14]

Is it raining in my room....?

[@VictoriaLovesY0UX]

Nope I cried for 2 1/2 hours after watching this

[@SamusAran1818]

When your dad said "We were kids raising kids," that really struck a cord with me. That reminded me of my parents. I don't have much family around, because we all grew up in a dysfunctional family. My parents basically did what their parents did--leave their children to totally fend for themselves. I just wish they would of given us a better life. Parents should make life better for future generations. I thought I should share something from me. Thank you for sharing something of yourself that isn't easy to speak about. This video has been very insightful for me.

[@aceconfetti5724]

omg i've been watching your vlogs on casey's channel for a while now and i had no idea. I saw this pop up in my "suggested videos" K i'm crying now.. D:

[@TheSweetPrincess25]

can't stop crying ..

[@emilyholland7744]

I'm only just finding this video now but can I just say Kayli, you are so so brave for sharing your story and your experience with an eating disorder and your parents are also so brave for sharing their side of the story and how they dealt with Kayli's problem through this hard time. From this video, I could easily see how hard this was for all three of you. You are an inspiration and a true role model Kayli xxxx ❤️

[@Auniesauce]

Kayli. This is my story right now. Thank you so much for sharing. You and your parents are so brave. Thank you.

[@alexbrynna]

your parents look soooooooooo young and you ladies are beautiful. this was very touching and also very intersting. thank u for sharing something so sensitive and difficult to talk about.

[@leighwunder2483]

I struggled with a eating disorder when I was a teen. I ended up in an eating disorder clinic and being 5'10 and weighing 105 and 98 at my lightest. This video just touched my heart Kayli, Your beautiful inside and out! Thank you so much for sharing. ♥

[@deedubbs4943]

Thank you for sharing your story. There are resources for people who have eating disorders. When I was in high school I went to a support group called over eaters anonymous. It is not just for people who over eat but for those who have any eating disorder. It is a 12 step program just like AA. The people there are the nicest people who continue to struggle everyday. Support groups are such a huge help.

[@JenXLG]

This is such a brave thing you did Kayli, must of been the hardest video that you've ever made. I'm thankful that you shared this experience with KZbin because you have helped so many people just by sharing this story with us, your such a inspiring women to me. xx

[@Sarapeaches23]

I think when kayli thinks of her own children and puts herself in the shoes of her parents, she really feels the pain and hurt and thats partly why she is tearing up so much. GOD BLESS YOU BABE xxx

[@lauralovesJB12]

Kayli you are so beautiful!!!!!!!

[@rodentary]

My family didnt know and it made it harder.

[@Allyson-xb3nx]

I could not look at this i was about to start sobing :( Love u Kayli

[@cristinmk222]

Wow! I have so much more respect for you, Kayli. I never knew you suffered with this and I am sorry that you did but like your dad mentioned, the closeness/love of your family was the miracle you needed to improve. I am so glad that you had them. Having taught for the past 12 years, I know several students who have struggled with similar issues but weren't as fortunate. Thank you so much for sharing this heart-rending story.

[@StayConnectedEV]

Amazing parents and courage by all..

[@sierrapodgurny2534]

makes me so sad, I never thought Kayli had a eating disorder but shes still perfectly perfect

[@kjtnk09]

YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL KAYLI...you really are!!! You and your parents were so brave to do this much needed video. I wish you and your family nothing but the best.

[@MissSoCute101]

Hey Kayli, you are so brave sharing this with your fans!

[@The122534]

Hi kayli, My name is erin i'm 37 yrs. of age I'm dealing with a weigh problem myself I don't like my body or my self , I eat when i'm depressed, sad or stressed I want to be Skinny I would do any thing to get skinny!!!!!! I really want to be a mom to & lose my diabetes plz help me

[@PrimadonnaGirl95]

I'm so glad your better now, keep on going strong.

[@thewizkid720]

Kayli, I’d like to hear from your parents about how they kept their relationship together through this. Especially the difficulty of a blaring, devastating issue and not having the strength to discuss it together sometimes. How did they work through all of that to where they are now?

[@ninamarielstahl]

Brailee looks a lot like your dad!

[@kiki2233-t6b]

Do her kids know that she has it

[@gymnastgirl1333]

I'm guessing so, if not I bet they will find out when they are older (:

[@TalliaLPS]

She had it

[@kianatouesnard2539]

#webothhabethenamekiana

[@HannahMontana6997]

I still cry over this video

[@sofia01ht]

that's not true...not all parents listen. god knows how many times i've tried to talk to them but they just turn it against me everytime and even therapy, they humilliated her and told her to stop talking to me if not they would press charges and then lied to me about it telling me it was my fault that she ABANDONED me. so i don't have annyone and i'm sick of puking 5 times a day. i even think of ending my life sometimes because i'm done with everything. i wish my parents were just like yours :'( idk what to think right now

[@jaclynnstrawinski6626]

We are a kind of family too and you can always lean on us sweetie.

[@katehodson5181]

Don't worry about it. If you ever have any problems don't be scared to comment it to us, or DM a therapist on Instagram if you have one. The only thing that I can tell you is that you have too much to look forward to in your life ahead. Someday you will be able to be an amazing parent who is kind to their children and listens to them. You do not want to stop living just because things get rough. I have never met you in person, but I know that you are a beautiful creation of God, and He has a plan for you. God's path is made especially for you is not ready to stop its journey. You are loved, you are strong, and you are beautiful! Never lose the faith in your Heavenly Father. He loves more than you will ever know. Only let him make the decision on when you pass away. He has a plan that all of us need to trust. Right now I want you to look up the song called Trust in Jesus, by the band Third Day on KZbin. Listen to the lyrics, believe in the lyrics, and know that you are perfect.

[@Pigsbum53ASMR]

thank you so much for addressing this.

[@jsimpson518]

kayli's mom looks like her sister!

[@meganhunt1459]

they were very young when they had her

[@EverydayIsDifferemt]

When dads get emotional - I can't take it. I bawl like a baby. lol

[@lollie87]

one thing I couldn't stop thinking throughout this whole video is how pretty you are Kayli, like for real! :)

[@nursemissy905]

So proud of you Kayli for being brave and sharing your story with us. I myself struggled with bulimia as a teen and was also able to over come it. I'm so glad you were able to over come this disease because the world wouldn't get to see what an amazingly beautiful mother, wife, and person you truly are. Thank you for allowing us into your lives. You're such an inspiration to us all! God bless you and your family! Hugs to you all!

[@ashleepitremont1]

It's so sad :( I remember telling my mom everything too wanting her to help me. And then lying afterwards about "showering" but actually puking , and saying I ate at my friends house. It is a true addiction

[@gabygarcia1158]

To think your family and you went through this much trouble breaks my heart and I thought in the beginning "oh well I want to lose weight why not do this" and I proceeded in watching the video and thought I would never ever do this and I think that your eating disorder helped you learn and I would also like to know at what age did you think of losing weight and when your eating disorder started, I give you props for getting though this. We love you sooo much Kayli

[@coolbedz]

i actually cried so much watching this

[@alicemuong5561]

I love you Kayli.

[@a.m.arteaga8369]

You're extremely lucky. Your poor parents, can't imagine what they've gone through. They are amazing! Please love them and thank them for what they've done, they deserve it.

[@faith2408]

I'm not new to your channel or caseys but I never knew about this I'm so happy for you now I'm literally crying

[@JustNess78]

These people don't know the word 'were.' They use 'was' improperly. It's weird. It's like I'm listening/taking advice from some backwoods country bumpkins. Ugh! I can't.... I can't.

[@JustNess78]

***** it would've been smart to assume on your part that I did, in fact, stop listening. But, that would require u to have some sense, now... wouldn't it?

[@TodayTamaraForever]

I am new to your channel. I was in search for crafts that I could use my Mod Podge with and came across your cute little books! My first thought was, "Finally! A nice professional quality video that I can follow..she's so sweet and soothing and PERFECT". Then I came across this video! Its east to admire and put KZbin personalities on a pedistol but it's good to know they are HUMAN and aren't afraid to share themselves with us. Youre such a brave and beautiful women!

[@OhSoOrels]

Hey Kayli. I have a quick tip for you. Never call it "My Eating Disorder", call it "The Eating Disorder" because it was something that plagued you, an illness. It wasn't something you sought or looked for and is entirely separate from you. My mom always taught me there is so much power in our words because they drive our thoughts and actions and ultimately how the world responds to you.

[@Jingerrific]

I love you for doing this Kayli. This is such a hard thing, and it's so unselfish of you to put yourself out there like this. You are such an example, and this is going to change people's lives. You radiate goodness, and I love you very much.

[@anjleyes96er]

Thank you. Thank you for talking about such a raw, crucial topic.

[@lydia4565]

Such an inspiration! Helped a lot x

[@JordanCamilla]

This was so so sweet. Kayli you are lucky to have such loving parents, and you look beautiful as always! And so does your mom:)

[@Babycat112]

Your parents are so sincere and understanding. I can't say thank you enough!

[@annach7914]

The love between them is precious and how kayli looks so much like her mother

[@ddsings721]

What a brave and transparent thing to do! I applaud your efforts and am reminded of God's promises to help us overcome our personal struggles so that we can help others through the same issues and bring glory to His name. God bless you and your family for your willingness to serve others.

[@elizabethfaeflen8418]

My name is Elizabeth I can tell is I am praying with you God will take care of it, that I know he will do.

[@emmybooboo4653]

An amazing video Your so brave

[@Kashtrig]

I love how honest your family is....I have teenagers and it's important to keep talking about these issues...Thank you for sharing :)

[@thezappullasisters4723]

My parents would never understand

[@Yottabee]

Kayli looks like a younger Christie Brinkley!

[@sezzyahmed7373]

Such a shame to see one of the prettiest ladies having an eating disorder. She's always been so beautiful. She looked good

[@hannahboebanna]

Emphasising outward beauty doesn’t help, I hope you can understand

[@madisonstroet4934]

I'm so happy you overcame your sickness. Because you are a beautiful person and you have a beautiful family! If you had never overcame it... your life definetly would've not been the same! Thankyou for sharing:) we love you Kaily

[@kourtneyk3743]

Very touching video. I went through the same disorder and we have so much in common. I'm glad you overcame this horrible disease. You're an inspiration, thank you.

[@michaeladayvgs]

I feel like you're so lucky to have parents who understand. I know they didn't at first, but they made the effort and after time were able to help you, instead of just dismissing it as overreacting. That's the biggest comment i ever get to anything, "you're just overreacting", and it makes it so much harder when people don't take you seriously. I love this video, hearing both sides of the story.

[@lilidavis375]

Wow you such a inspiration for me. I have an eating disorder and I'm still trying to get over. Can you give me some tips how to got over eating disorder. I am obsess with excising. You've made me realised that there is a life after this eating disorder and you can be happy again it just take time. Thank you so much.
