I know a lot of people are trying to recover from eating disorders...in this day and age, disordered eating is more common than ever! I have this in the title so those people can stumble up on this series as I'm mostly making it for other people like me who need to constantly work hard to mentally stay on track. Recovery isn't a linear thing, it's something you need to work at every day of your life...there are ups and downs! But it is so worth doing everything you can to learn to eat "normally" and to listen to your body. I'm not saying you should eat what I eat, at ALL, you guys know that, but I think I have a very healthy relationship with food and exercise now and sharing that actually keeps me in that headspace. Making videos is like part of my therapy at this stage :) Let me know where you are at with food in the comments below! And if you enjoyed this video, tell me why! xxx

[@lisadgingersnaps9843]

I don't have an eating disorder, but have had challenges with healthy eating and body image over the years. I think these videos are great for everyone. They give me inspiration and new ideas 👍

[@sexymayagreen9202]

Your videos help me to know that i'm not alone and change is possible.and i love your accent so so much!😍😙❤💖💕

[@katiesmith-di3mr]

I love food and I'm amazed and proud of you Melanie for being a guiding light for people! You have such a gentle strength about you, and you seem so comfortable being you! We all have our " something" that we struggle with and its awesome to beable to share those experiences and to see people, like you, that can also show that its possible to overcome!!

[@jas88cam]

Thanks for sharing Melanie! You are a great example, doing a wonderful job of it, and sharing like this is good to see. Piece of toast and an egg here - off to the gym in a minute. Nowhere near your level (yet!), but slowly losing weight and getting fitter ... maybe one day.

[@therosediaries2788]

Melanie Murphy I love to see how happy you are now xx I can tell that you have a healthy relationship with food xx these videos really help me xxx thank uuuu 💚💚💚

[@someshineforyou]

I find that sometimes when youtubers do a FDOE it is so unrealistic and encourages disordered habits. You are always so thoughtful with your language and present a really normal relationship with food. I can not begin to explain how refreshing it is to not watch a video that revolves around rigid meal prep or a super vigorous workout routine. You seem really happy with where you are and that is the most important thing! I hope you continue to find joy in eating a variety of foods and moving in a way that makes you feel good. Love watching your videos and wish you nothing but happiness.

[@michaelam3931]

Love this!💗💗💗 Your Food Diary Friday videos really help me with my own recovery. You set a great example for us all by promoting healthy relationships with food and exercise🙌🏻 Keep doing you Mel x

[@amberbeam4248]

Currently eating a second slice of homemade banana cake because GIRL I NEED TO LIVE! :) xx

[@amberisabel9474]

I am now craving banana cake haha

[@laura_underscore]

Your hair looks so good with the fringe off your face! You've been looking so great since you started your weight training program at the gym, well done to you! x

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Great vlog Melanie! That drink at the end looked amazing :)

[@wiccanloverkris]

I adore your Dad, just that little smile at the end!

[@chahrazedrahmane7842]

this was relaxing af , thank you for a lovely video as always

[@pastacats]

I always love your vlog style ones and just seeing what you're up to! And seeing the kitties!!! 💚💚💚

[@lissykate2037]

I have been really struggeling today, with my PMS and stuff, amd this was just so comforting. Seeing you 'n' your dad smile and your kitties...

[@kithminicooray2008]

YESSSS! Melanie we have missed your food diary fridays! Could you please make these regularly again? I think many of us really benefit from them. Seeing you act so normally around food is so refreshing to see on youtube, especially when many other food videos are related to either restricting or stuffing your face silly. And omg i am just getting into weight training as well and I love it too!! 💪

[@anaritapatinha4182]

Melanie, I missed your "food diary friday" so much. I love watching your routine and the places where you choose to eat, it always makes me think that if we lived near by we would be besties ahahah ❤ And im so going to try this hot choc + red winne recipe 😻 it looks delicious! PS. Im reading your book atm and you reallly are a diva 😘

[@lellepad]

I’ve started cooking at home more when I really got into watching these on the regular. Keep me coming girl! Remember that you are helping the world and we will keep you afloat while KZbin is figuring out how to also encourage people to heal.

[@CaseyCam]

Loved this Mel! I was having a bit of cocoa while I watched and it was so so nice. These are my favorite videos you do ^_^ it's lovely getting to "spend the day" with you.

[@kathiadam8473]

I'm not even sure why, but these videos make me so happy :) Thanks for all the inspiration and good vibes

[@lorri85]

Yasss Love your food diary Friday's Mel! Much Love 💚💚💚

[@Jenkittypaw]

You are just SO freaking gorgeous! Give yourself all the love you deserve 💖

[@kvinettaf09]

Love it Mel :) x and thank you for the little recipe at the end! It's getting warm where I am now, but in winter my go-to was an almond milk hot chocolate which was surprisingly amazing! Just almond (the amount of your cup), 1-2 tbsp cocoa powder, 1-2 tbsp maple syrup and little vanilla. Love thick and dark hot chocolates, they're the best!

[@kristenmalick-hatta4300]

Awww Melanie I love the close relationship you have with your dad❤️❤️It's so sweet❤️I'm very close with my dad too😊😊

[@yaizasabke5683]

Really like these videos xx you’re awesome Melanie, your content is the best.

[@JaadeeeXx]

It's so wild to see you in places I go all the time and talking to people I see etc it's so lovely😌 I'm really jealous of one of my pals who met you in town that day though! And I'm devastated I didn't run into you in Lush (the one time I'm now in there ah!)

[@ayshidas3063]

Idk whats with youtube..but i love watching your vedios they're soo informative and motivating we all love u...continue doing what you're doing..love ya💖😘😘😘

[@abbygo]

I love the way you edit 💛

[@emyg494]

I pass that Dawson street cafe everyday going to and from college and I keep meaning to get in and sit on those amazing looking couches!

[@lucygraham7567]

Your hairrrrr is to die for, looking gorgeous! xx

[@sarahveley3793]

I missed these

[@EvelinaEntertainment]

Yaaay they're back! x

[@jeaninearianne]

You are one of the people that helped me move towards a healthy lifestyle, not a diet, and for that I thank you so much 😊❤️ Your food diaries are one of my fave things to watch, love youuuu xoxo Edit: Your video did not appear on my sub box 🙁 it makes me so angry when KZbin does this shit ugh

[@jenohogan9254]

You may have inspired me to get my butt in gear and start my Pilates/ yoga work out again. I've been such a mopey drabby mess the last 3 weeks.

[@devilswithsugar]

does anyone remember the kids show boobah?! the pigeons totally reminded me of them😂

[@kathosc]

Your Dad 😍 lovely video xxxx

[@Irishrachel1]

I really needed a positive boost today so thanks Mel x (This didn't show up in my sub box either fyi)

[@samanthadarcy-bruce1721]

Your cat! We had one identical but he passed away in June! It was literally like he had gone to live with you 😂❤️

[@dessiekoleva2494]

Clicked so quickly , as soon as i saw this omggg

[@seamuskeavy6710]

‘Period having humans’💪🏻

[@Catherine95100]

Love you Mel 😘

[@ryantrue4844]

And now to start going to the gym again! Need to do 5k in around 23-24 minutes

[@melaniemurphyofficial]

Oooooh yiiih! My fastest 5k was 26 mins at my peak haha not a very fast runner!

[@ryantrue4844]

Melanie Murphy thanks haha, my best for 2.4k is 9:10 and i was on the floor after!

[@ryantrue4844]

Rebecka Schieber more than likely 😂 i follow quite a few people! Love Jamie Jo as shes so talented and love Janet Devlin as her voice is incredible! Both are also so nice in person as well!

[@leoneabbacchio2098]

Love the video 💕Also ayyy Louise & DnP

[@MarkFitnessandLifestyle]

Making all kinds of gains

[@evarose8352]

Wtf how could KZbin demonetise this??!! I can see how much effort you've put into this and it's so helpful and inspiring💗❤️! Disappointed in KZbin 🖕🏼

[@LittleMissCrista]

So delisssh ♥

[@beawilderment]

aaa! can anyone tell me where one could find a jacket like the one Mel's wearing at Lush at 6:31? and what is that type of jacket called? i'm from the philippines and have bronchitis and i'd like to be prepared for when i go out to europe again. i need that sort of rain and wind protection! especially for the neck area

[@laurenmurphy1050]

We go to the same gym and I've still never met you😫😫❤️

[@tillymann6611]

Omg when you had the face masks on you looked like someone from the "somebody that I used to know" music video

[@laurad94]

Eh what is that gym?! It's so empty! I wish I could find a non-busy gym in Dublin :(

[@jocyleal]

that hot chocolate looks so good 😋😋😋😋

[@bodaciousbosom4412]

You are beautiful!! Love “what I ate” videos! I was interested in your gym workout also, although I noticed you are dipping deep in your squats which is bad for your back. I’ve been watching a couple of PT’s on KZbin and that is something they’ve said to watch out for. :-). Keep being awesome!

[@thisisme9229]

Melanie I’m currently really struggling in my recovery from anorexia and these videos really helped me - all summer long I watched them and they motivated me to nourish my body! Thank you so much

[@browneyedella]

Seeing uncle's (Mr Murphy's) warm and grateful look at the end, after you passed him that drink, made me feel really happy ^^

[@josefineoijer]

wow, never thought of adding red wine to hot chocolate, maybe I should give that a try!

[@88Missjane]

"taking them in and all of their furry splendour" is the best sentence you've ever said

[@sailb0atscream]

I loved the smile on your dad's face when you gave him the hot chocolate. What an absolute lad!!

[@TheGirlHub]

you save lives funny part is I am not even messing xxxxxxxxx thank you so much for being so balanced

[@amyg8176]

You’re eating enough to build muscle, but you aren’t eating enough to grow. Right now you’re likely just changing your body composition- what fat you have will be replaced by muscle. Eating like this you’ll look the same, be the same size, just firmer and more defined. :) If you want to lose fat while maintaining muscle mass, id suggest increasing your protein and decreasing your processed sugar. Honestly, high protein is the way to go.

[@heyyouyou1000]

Amy G eating high protein means you have to lowe either carbs or lipids which is not okay if you do it a long time, also an exces of protein in the long and short run will fuck up your kidney

[@therosediaries2788]

Aw your dad looked so happy when you gave him the hot chocolate 💚😂 xxx

[@cinemoni]

Your kitty! 😻

[@oliviadavis4828]

holy faaaaaack red wine hot chocolate! making that this weekend

[@StrongImaginationA]

Your dad's face when you hand him the hot chocolate. :D

[@lu_lu_lu_lu_07]

missed these videos so much, I have anorexia, so these are always very comforting to me ❤

[@Liiimes]

You look like a sim working out, especially with that music! hahaha

[@BohoBookworm]

Looking forward to your overall thoughts on Turtles All The Way Down. I just finished it. I liked it - though not as good as your book!! ;) I love black coffees with my cats :) Can definitely second the sports bra advice. I went for a run the other day without one and WOW were my boobs sore for days afterwards.

[@beccalouise9055]

Melanie... I can't tell you how much I appreciate you! I've been really struggling with food recently, I lost 34lbs in 4 months (I'm 15). There's something about the scales, every time I stand on them, I either feel a sense of achievement or dread. Every pound lost makes me feel good, every .1 of a pound gained makes me feel shit so I don't eat much and weigh myself the next morning- 1 pound lost. I know it's not healthy but I can't stop and your videos are what are helping me realise, I CAN have potatoes, I CAN have bread and I CAN have pasta. But then when I go to cook or have any of those things, I read the packet and put it down because it has "too many calories". I know this voice telling me what I can and can't have isn't normal. I see people in my school eating pizza and ice cream all the time - they don't care. I'm slowly learning that balance is the way to go. My mum does keto (low carb) so my evening meals are higher in fat and low in everything else so I don't eat carbs like bread or pasta out of choice because then I feel like I'm eating too much fat AND too many carbs. I can't balance! I need a push, I know I do but I don't want to be 'babied' into eating more. I know you probably not going to read all of this because you're busy and this is an old video but I have faith in your videos that one day I'll be like you and get over the scales and get over the fear of having one slice of pizza or one chocolate because I don't want to binge. I went to Wagamama yesterday for lunch and I ordered the Pad Thai salad, I don't know if thats what I wanted or if I just ordered it because of the low amount of calories, I didn't have the dressing or peanuts because I don't like dressings and have this weird fear that oil will make me fatter. It was really good though, I really wanted the chicken cats curry but have you seen the nutrition for that! nearly 1200 calories in one meal!? I think not... I'm having dominos tomorrow with my friends and I keep convincing myself its okay to eat it, Wednesday is weigh day so its also 'cheat day' but usually that means if I have treats I eat them in the evening hoping I won't binge (meaning maybe 2 slices of pizza and maybe a chocolate but I let my friends choose the chocolate while I say "I'll eat whatever" then they don't pick my faves so I don't eat them). It's not like I'm uneducated, I know what can happen if you lose too much weight too quickly or if you eat too much of one thing etc. etc. but I can't help it. Thanks Melanie, you're genuinely making me feel more positive about my life and my self esteem, love and hugs, keep doing what you're doing 💓💓💓

[@amyhunt96]

Always making me proud to be Irish Melanie! Living abroad I always find comfort and "home" in your videos, as weird as it sounds! Anyways, you are so genuine and I am so so happy with how far you've come as I have watched you grow from the beginning! Bloody ledge you are!

[@isabellarusso6990]

love your What I Eat In A Days !!

[@eeyoresv]

PLEEASSEEE can someone tell what the phone case at 5:30 is?

[@joannasaunders2179]

I have an ED and the title definitely made me click faster so hopefully you will reach many people Melanie, I actually cannot wait to get paid so I can finally purchase your book, i've been staying offline in the evenings so i've really gotten into reading also GURL where are those HP sheets from????

[@rajeshware2]

I liked the video even before watching it..... how much I missed these food diary Friday..... ur the best Mel I love u....😘♥️

[@emma9287]

Just saw your instagram story and sorry to hear like wtf what is up with KZbin nowadays? getting pretty sick of it😐 ❤️Where did you get the Fall in Love coffee? 😍

[@ohio_nights]

Emma Blake I always see it at my local TJ Maxx :) I believe it’s called TK Maxx in Europe.

[@esmee928]

YASSS! I'm so so beyond happy to see the return of these 😆😄😊 You and these videos were one of the main factors that stopped me from jumping off of the cliff into a life wreaking eating disorder. Please Food Diary Friday's regular, the more often the better! 💚

[@Judgles]

"all their furry splendour" is such a lovely phrase!

[@kc42291]

thank you so much - for your openness, positivity, and genuine demeanor. you've helped me so much with my rocky relationship with food and I am forever grateful.

[@arpinej3311]

I'm new to this channel so forgive me if you've answered this already but how do you stay mentally healthy if you physically cannot exercise for a short amount of time (due to say a deadline or a physical injury)?

[@barsahar8576]

KZbin staff probably don't even check what videos they shut off (idk the actual word). I hope it will be alright soon! Just wanted to say your videos really help me to slowly thinking more positive and more balanced. I also have issues with food, when Im on a diet I quickly get obsessive and when I'm not i get out of control with the amount I eat. So you help me think of the balance I actually need.. Plus you're beautiful and I love your hair hahaha.

[@lisaz1008]

Hey Mel, I just wanted to say a big thank you. 💚 I suffered from an eating disorder myself and I’m still having my bad days, but your videos helped me so much on my way of recovery and inspire me to simply enjoy life and being healthy. Big massive thanks! 💚

[@onceuponajones]

Mel you're a dream. Your accent, your hair, your attitude, your message. I've started going to the gym and I feel a lot better just for the decision and attitude change I guess.

[@BojanaX]

Oh yeh my fav vid series and it's autumn/winter fav season yay 💚💚💚

[@smilewithmel]

Friggin love your videos; whether your showing us what you eat, vlogging or talking about something a little deeper! lots of love! xx

[@esmee928]

Where's that gorgeous dressing gown you were wearing at the end from? Was it a reddish colour? 😍😍

[@amandadelaney4757]

Ahh I love your Dad! ☕️❤️🇮🇪

[@georgieeve955]

I absolutely ADORE how you share your struggles with an eating disorder.. im still recovering, ive been from anorexic to overweight. And now im somewhere in between but not quite at my "healthiest" self. These videos really inspire me to KEEP GETTING BETTER!!!

[@ameliaryczek8433]

As someone also in recovery, I always love these and they do really help. Side note, where is that black sweater from???

[@EGlVM]

Was Paris already a month ago? Jayzus I STILL haven't gotten your book in the mail yet! It's 6 weeks passed the expected delivery. Could've waited for the Canadian release by this point. Stupid Amazon. :( OMFG that couch in that Dawson's cafe is glorious! D'awww, Papa Murphy at the end, be still my heart Am I the only one who has never had trouble with my subscriptions not showing up? Is it because I still watch youtube on my computer and not my phone? Or that I'm in Canada? Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. it's just so weird it seems to be happening to everyone but me.

[@sanishar9028]

Ooh I've really missed the food diary Fridays! Really enjoyed this video - absolutely lovely?! And check out your biceps and arm muscles, Melanie Murphy! Looking grand! :)

[@EmeleGibson]

Omg that who that funny fecker is (Alan) we were all trying to figure out at the book signing who he was😂😂😂 So Happy FDF is back!!

[@ashleybarrett2383]

I LOVE your channel Melanie. Love how real and honest you are. You’ve helped me so much to see what it looks like to be “balanced” when it comes to eating. I’m a 30 something mum of two littles and I struggled for MANY years with an eating and exercise disorder (having babies and your body changing and all that crazy jazz). Your channel has helped me to keep a good, healthy perspective when it comes to loving your own body, food, and exercise. Thanks for being you. Keep at it girl ❤️

[@brodiedomb116]

I just uploaded one of these videos too!! Love you’re doing so well. You are a beautiful ray of sunshine who deserves to be free. Lots of love ❤️

[@JessicaaaPersonaaa]

Catching up on all the latest Mel vids and girl LOVED that little workout snippet you did! Yas quen 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼♥️

[@REMArtiste]

Love these videos! Gives me new food ideas which is super important for getting plenty of variety in your diet! You're amazing at reaching that dietary balance ^_^ Definitely trying this hot chocolate next time, sounds like it might have a mulled wine kind of kick to it! Those sweet potato fries though

[@kellycatshaw]

I love you and your videos so much! You're by far my favourite KZbinr. You're so genuine and a massive inspiration to me. I can't even begin to explain how much. And your book is helping me so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you do. You're beautiful inside and out - never change Mel ❤️❤️❤️

[@violetseliza9300]

I love the fact your dad got a tinker bell cup! 💜 love your videos so much, you make me feel so much more loving towards my body after spending years hating it. Thanks so much! 💜💜💜💜💜 please make more vlogs!

[@amberisabel9474]

Hungover ~ rain ~ tea ~ Melanie vids, life's alright

[@5wandive]

8.31 with that music I feel like I'm making my Sims do weird things (don't worry Melanie I won't take the ladders away) ❤️

[@Jannahroslan]

I feel all warm and cozy when i watch this video. 🍂🍁☺️

[@slobodanvlaic3575]

Great video. PS: While doing deadlifts, don't let your knees go inward. Push them outwards.

[@misstitanic015]

I love your vlogs so much! They're so relaxing and informational. I'd love to see you do a full workout video if that's possible. I love watching other people's workouts to help form ideas of what my next workout will be. Keep up the great work! 💚💚💚

[@aislingmcloughlin1818]

Can you please make more what I eat in a day videos I love them so much ❤️

[@emilyreeves7854]

Mel, you're gonna be so fit! I hope you're reaping mental benefits from the exercise, as well. I always feel so much happier/positive/full of energy when I'm following an exercise routine :D

[@bellaviolet20]

I enjoyed the vid! Can't wait to try the recipe for the red wine hot chocolate! Looks yummy! Also I love that you gave your dad the Tinkerbell mug! So cute!

[@sweettrefrain]

I love in love with a ghost!!! Also I love you! And I am just wondering are the halloween cookies I baked the other day a healthy breakfast?

[@ciaraodonovan2806]

Amazing food diary as always! Sad that this didn't go into everyone's sub-box! 😡💚
