This might be the second time I've ever commented on something on KZbin. Elzani, I had to fight back tears throughout the whole video. I am so, so undeniably proud of you and all of the conscious effort you've put into getting your life back. I once was jealous that you were able to recover like this but by watching you more, I'm less jealous and just downright grateful for your inspiration and motivation that made me take my own recovery more seriously. "Celebrate because you had a great sleep last night." Sounds good, I will and will make a cake today. I don't even know you and yet I love you all too much.

[@Alexoyt4]

I totally agree, and you couldn’t have put it into better words. I’m so proud of her, too. She’s so happy these days I could not even recognize that she’s the same person compared to before recovery. I honestly love her.

[@hannakurimoto-fischer7600]

Elzani id like to apologize to you because when you were struggling some of us didn’t believe you could do it without professional help. We didn’t have faith in you and it must’ve been so difficult to get through each day knowing that people were criticizing you. All you wanted was support and some of us didn’t offer that to you. However you proved us wrong and showed that you could battle this eating disorder by yourself and with the help from your beautiful family. I am genuinely so proud of you and happy to see where you are today in a better mindset ❤️

[@genius2655]

“How ridiculous that we wait for time to pass, for certain events” That snapped me out of my daze a little bit. I’m incredibly ambitious when it comes to big goals in the future, but I’m not focussing on being ambitious in the moment. I need to start making the best decisions I can, even when it comes to minor situations, like what to have for breakfast, instead of thinking that I’m living my life because I make good decisions when I’m out with friends or at school. Life carries on, even when I’m at home alone, even when it’s raining outside, even when it’s 10 weeks until Christmas and I have to ‘save up’. I made this realisation yesterday when I was listening to a Joe Rogan podcast episode - I don’t want to live a mundane life that repeats itself every day, every week, every year. I may seem ambitious from an external perspective, and like an individual that pursues only the best, but to be honest, that isn’t applicable to my daily life, and I’m now going to resolve that. Thanks for kicking me in the arse

I've been in recovery for 6 months now(not that long but still) and let me tell you, it gets easier. Just be patient with yourself and embrace nourishing your deprived body. You're loved and I'm rooting for you.

[@Aleera616]

What you said about us only having one life "this is it, it's happening right now" is the most important thing to always remember. I am currently in recovery from anorexia and sometimes I slip back into old thinking patterns but then I say to myself "you only have this one life. You are fucking it up. Eat.". Unfortunately I also have severe ptsd and try to manage life, trauma and recovery with way-too-late-diagnosed adhd on top of everything. I'm also a lot older than you (27 this november) and I live alone. So sometimes I feel so hopeless and like it's too late to get it right, to find joy in life. But watching your videos always makes me so happy and gives me strength for the next day. This made me cry again and I'm so so so incredibly happy for you. You are helping so many people

[@valeriemurphy8628]

I'm glad that you've made peace with food, Elzani. It's almost 40 years that I've been suffering with an eating disorder, and I'll probably die with it. 😥 I don't have a support system. I come from a *very* highly dysfunctional family and was never close to my mother (who died at 45 years of age years ago when I 25), and my father was out of my life, for the most part, by the time I was eight or nine. I was in therapy, but it put so much pressure on me to stop my behaviors that it only made the ED *worse* . 🥺 I'm so happy for you that you are recovering and that you have such a sweet family and you're so close to your mother. That truly can make all the difference, in some cases. ♥️. Btw, Christmas isn't the "best" for me, not anymore...because, due to estrangement with my sisters, I spend my Christmases alone. 😥 I just have my cats. They are my family. ♥️ Cherish and enjoy your recovery and your beautiful family. You truly are blessed, and I'm so happy for you 😘...but *do* realize that not everyone has a family like yours and the love and support they need to overcome their challenges in life. That said, you truly are an inspiration, Elzani, and I hope one day that I can be just like you. ♥️♥️♥️

I love watching your videos. Just started watching the other day, because I think I want to be counselor , to high school student's or even maybe get into a clinic for mental health patient's and people with health issues. I remember the first video I watched from you was the other night, and it was so long, I had to pause it a few times, to eat dinner with my lovely boyfriend, to do some texting with my professor LOL, and I was so excited to PLAY, I went through some issues like body issues just like you Elzani, and I remember a student saying loud enough for me to hear when I was sitting down in my desk in Junior year of high school, "SKINNY" and I remember feeling sad for myself, but at the same time I felt happy. I went through some stuff that year, getting arrested, and I felt lost. I think that is what caused my eating disorder. I am VERY HEALTHY now, for who ever spent there time to read my comment, but I have always wanted to make a video like this, but I feel like I am uneducated on technology and I am very oldschool, I am only 24 years old, but I wished I new more about technology, I also feel like like my voice sounds so ughhhhh on audio, like in person my voice is very Boston like, (boston MA) but I feel like when I record my voice it's stupid, but I really want to make videos like YOU Elzani, you are a very inspiration, and that is why I think I WANT MY CAREER, TO HELP women and men with eating disorders , I feel like I would be able to relate, because at a short period of my life, I did go through it, but I blamed being in the track team made me skinny. I want to help people, and make them feel loved. You are such an Inspiration, and I would love to meet you, and I love you accent!!!!!

So proud of you Elzani! An eating disorder is basically putting life on delay. Being able to actually live outside the "safe world" of anorexia takes a lot of strength and I'm happy you found it in yourself. I've been watching your videos from the start and you're so brave. Just like everyone who got out of the hell of an ED. We're all brave

Never would I say that what you went through was a good thing, but your struggles were a blessing in disguise because you now have this amazing perspective on life because of it. Your words were eye opening!

I finally found your new channel after watching your struggles. This video and the way you express all the things you have said could not have been put in any better way. You are truly an inspiration to others with this illness-your heart and soul are just so precious and beautiful, just like you. ❤️❤️

I think this video is brilliant. its so incredible how you went about dealing with all the comments of tell us your secret and being pushy. this was incredible and gives so much hope to those ones still struggling and the ones who are healing.. it made me cry happy tears. I found your channel at the beginning of your journey and have been watching ever since. its really been truly beautiful watching you on your journey and has been one of the best honest and real yoube journeys I've seen thus far. thank you for sharing your journey with us elzani. much love, keep up the great work. we grow through, what we go through!!

This is so inspiring and uplifting. One of the best videos for encouraging and promoting recovery, and thank you for not having triggering content! I love following other ed warriors in recovery, but find that some content (even when promoting recovery) can be triggering due to containing graphic "lowest weight" photos/videos. In my opinion, anyone can describe and explain what life is like in the depths of an eating disorder without showing photos of them at their worst as an example. So thank you Elzani for focusing on real recovery in this video
