My 1 Year Transformation

[@kirstysinclair1179]

Once again I have so much respect for Anna using her platform to talk about this, I know it can’t be easy, but you are helping so many people💜

[@AnnaSaccone]

Thank you so much Kirsty ❤️

[@itsemxoxo]

“I feel the best I’ve ever felt” you have no idea how happy this makes me to hear 🥺♥️

[@YuliaRushworth]

Anna, talking openly about common things associated to eating disorders such as shame, bad body image days and relapses is probably one of the greatest services you can offer to women these days. You are in such an influential position through what you and Jonathan do and you are helping women make peace with not only food but life through normalising body acceptance and nourishment (both physically and emotionally). So grateful to have found your channel.

[@SamElle]

Ive recently relapsed and hearing other people's stories is so so helpful! I truly cant wait till I am fully recovered and thank you for sharing your journey!!!

[@AnnaSaccone]

Thank you! I'm really sorry to hear that but I hope that you know it does and can get better, even after 20 relapses. ❤️❤️❤️

[@katrabbit]

I've relapsed in my mental health journey recently as well.. thank you both for sharing and making me feel less alone ♡

[@orangeblossomsky]

me too! I'm in recovery from binge eating disorder, and I've made some progress I'm proud of. but recently I've struggled with anxiety due to my weight gain and some other issues in my life. I've felt rrally bad about this "set back" but hearing Anna and you two talk about relapsing and struggling makes me feel to much better right now. thank you guys!

[@karenelliottxx]

Anna, I have watched you for years... but since you started your channel up again recently you have been a joy to watch. Its like a light has been switched on and this bright, intelligent beautiful young woman who obviously loves herself is here making people feel good about themselves. Keep at it lively, you are doing brilliantly! Xxxx

[@dominikar3056]

My thoughts exactly!!!! well put

[@monseboomt]

I love how she talks about her body as if it’s the second part of her, like first she puts her brains/ feelings and second her body. Probably no one understands but I think is so respectful.

[@louiseharris892]

Monse Mares Tapia I know what you mean!

[@zaynabdaniyal4316]

We understand what you mean, and I totally agree ❤️

[@jenaemarieAZ]

True.

[@demi8074]

I have so much respect, and I'm so proud of you for talking about this. I've watched you for about 6 years, and it's so nice to have someone I look up to talking about this. I feel like disordered eating is so normalised and this makes me stop and think. Thank you for making these videos. ❤️

[@AnnaSaccone]

Thank you so much! I feel this way too, I hope that it will be different for our future generations 🥰❤️

[@rachelcarton1802]

As someone who’s never had an eating disorder, it is so interesting and important to hear your story! I’ve struggled with food for other reasons, but it is so enlightening to hear what it’s like and how gripping and hard it is. I hope one day I can use the knowledge I’ve learnt from you to help someone one day!

[@aquilagirl801234]

Honestly Anna I was just saying to my little sister how transformed you seem, I don’t remember ever seeing you as happy and I’ve been watching since before y’all got married! I’m so grateful for you speaking about everything you’ve been through, and it’s so wonderful for little girls around the world watching your videos to see! Such a role model!

[@conniebenka7704]

Wow I remember that blue dress. I was thinking she looks amazing. You just never know what's actually going on in peoples heads. This is when we need to remember to be kind to our selves and others. You don't want to trigger someone unknowingly.Connie

[@EllieWilsonSACCONEJOLYs]

Loved working with you Anna on creating this! It's such an incredible video and it's most definitely going to help a lot of people too. Thank you so much for the shout out, you didn't have to do that! Lots of love xx

[@AnnaSaccone]

Aww thank you so much Ellie! I couldn't have told this story as well as I did without your help ❤️❤️❤️

[@calliebruton6034]

SO proud of you Anna! This might sound really silly but I'm actually so thankful for you because as someone who also struggled with food I never thought I would be okay. However today I'm sat here watching your video, I feel happy I have a can of cola and a pizza for tea, I'm happy I'm at this stage eating without guilt. Sending so much love to you, you are such a beautiful person

[@AnnaSaccone]

I love that!! Thank you so much for your kind words & I'll be enjoying a pizza with you this evening! 🥰❤️

[@kristymarie6065]

That’s awesome!!!

[@rocimo124]

I never met you before but I am so happy for you because there is nothing like a woman who fights a silent battle and finally becomes free of it.

[@cottagebirder]

'Your body knows exactly what it needs, and when it needs it' Amen!

[@zaynabdaniyal4316]

Exactly, I've heard a weird saying aswell that if your craving something to eat your body needs it 😂 don't know how true it is but when I was going through my eating disorder, I completely cut out sugar, all kinds even fruit! , I was just getting dizzy all the time and craving sugar, when I would eat it I'd feel so much better but feel so guilty and fat. Your body does know exactly what you need

[@Sam3love]

Everything you mentioned about the middle of your recovery is literally what I am going through now. Thank you for being so honest and real about all of this💕

[@haumea6166]

My eyes are filled with tears… You have made me feel confident in my body by telling your story. I struggle so much with body confidence as many people do, and you sharing this really really helps .

[@_ashleyxoxo]

I’ve had anorexia in and out of hospital and struggling alone for a long long long time (since 14 and I’m 32). Your story gives me hope ❤️. You’ve done so amazing and you look incredible xx

[@bunty6268]

💔💚

[@HAMillerage]

There is light at the end of the tunnel for you! I believe in you! You’ve got this 🥰💗❤️

[@jessicas2780]

You are strong enough to beat it, you can do it!!!

[@Mari92313]

God is with you. 💜

[@katrabbit]

We are not alone here at least. No matter how alone our minds want to make us feel.. the ED and Mental Health community is there with open arms and a listening ear. I believe in you. I'm so proud of you. Thank you for still being here. 💙

[@karenhepple288]

I had terrible eating disorder in my 20's I'm 56 now and although recovered I never forgot the intensity of it and how I'll I was. It's a control thing but do much more complicated. God bless sweetheart stay strong xx

[@Jaimihyde]

This story is incredible. Thank you for being so honest. It is so beautiful hearing women talk about how amazing our bodies are. I know this will help countless people!!

[@tiakolovos575]

Part of therapy is talking about it. You've come a long way Anna. Congratulations 👏

[@charlotterosehillman]

I got a diagnosis of anorexia just under a week ago, watching this and seeing how happy you are has honestly makes my fear for treatment so much less. Thank you for this.

[@WiscoGirl]

Anna, I am so grateful for your willingness to share your recovery story. I’ve been in denial about my own eating disorder. Hearing how you have personally grown through this has immensely helped me have the courage to acknowledge what I’ve been really facing and start making healthy changes for the better. Thank you!!

[@kgun42878]

I cannot tell you how helpful your journey has been to follow. Based on your healing and Stephanie Buttermore’s I am now on my own eating disorder healing. I’m in the uncomfortable period right now. I’m trying so hard to be patient and give myself some grace. Thank you thank you for being so brave and so open. You are helping so many of us.

[@jessicasierra9313]

Hi, Anna I’m so happy to see you doing so well in recovery. I’ve been watching you since the very beginning. You have encouraged me to also seek treatment. Thank you for coming out. You’ve help me so much.

[@cvrussell2610]

Recovery is SO hard, let alone under the scrutiny of thousands of people! I'm so so inspired by you Anna! xxx

[@mandiekins316]

I haven’t watched this channel religiously in a while...but Anna, you have noticeably changed! In every best way possible. You’re glowing, the way you’re carrying yourself and speaking is just so clear and transparent and genuine. You seem HAPPY! And you’re absolutely stunning, I’m loving your healthy vibes and “new” body! This is an inspiration, I have struggled with my new mom bod after three kinds in four years, and you have encouraged me ❤️

[@lindseybrooon1613]

Anna, I’m a recovering anorexic, and I’ve felt so alone with all of my thoughts for so long. The change in my body, my clothes not fitting, but hearing you say those words makes me feel much less alone, thank you!! Hope you are doing ok and keep fighting every day 💛

[@sarahsmark]

THANK YOU for this video. I'm nearing 40 and still struggle with eating. After watching your video I read up on Intuitive Eating and realized how emotional my eating had been. Eating is such a "heady" thing. This has been transformational for me, thanks to you, sincerely.

[@lalizscorpio82]

Congratulations on your 1 year recovery. You have helped me so much! I also struggled with an ED as a teenager and continued it thru my adult life. Last year i became more in tune with my body and decided I can no longer live this way. I am now happy and much more relaxed about food. Your videos have helped me so much, my husband and I watched the video of you and Jonathan, it gave him more insight and he could relate to Jonathan so much. Thank you for being so real and honest

[@aemiller12]

Thank you for being so open and normalizing eating disorders. I have suffered so much from eating disorders in my life and trying to recover from one just gave me another.

[@lorenaescalera3744]

It’s taken me time to watch this video, because you saved me! I’m 37 years old, a mom of two, and if it hadn’t been for your videos about postpartum or your recovery I’m not sure where I’d be right now. At the darkest point of both those journeys I found support and REAL genuine advice from YOU! You are a beautiful soul! And may God bless you and your family for giving us mamas out there someone to relate to. You’re beautiful Anna!! Xoxo 😚

[@hopeandstrength96]

We need more videos like this. Thank you so much for being so open and honest about your journey. Thank you for giving everyone who struggles a voice as well. Sending so much love, joy, and grace your way. You are truly impacting so many lives!

[@KewBlinkla]

Can we all notice that through all of the video snippets from the past year that.... yes, at very most there could have been 5-10 lbs max of fluctuation (up or down!) and yet still Anna you are so beautiful and healthy looking. Glowing. Radiant. Full of life and joy just as you deserve to be and just as you have been that joy and radiance for us no matter what weight.

[@robync9729]

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate hearing the ongoing story of your journey. I’ve had a 30 year journey of recovery and relapse, including 7 years with no cycle. So unhealthy. Your updates and your story gives me hope with my own journey. I sincerely thank you for your honesty. ❤️

[@heatcoMe]

So very proud and happy for you. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey & healing. Please never feel you need to be perfect for us. We love you unconditionally. Inspired and need to get back on a more serious recovery again too. Thank you for this. xo

[@kristendreamy]

Anna ive followed you for years, never be ashamed in front of your subscribers. We support you and love you and are so proud of your bravery and honesty ❤️🙌🏻

[@user-rc9il9jl1m]

anna, sharing your journey must be so hard, but i am forever grateful that you have. as somebody currently struggling and trying to recover, seeing how far you’ve come gives me such hope and inspiration that i too can get to where you are one day. thank you for speaking out and making those who are struggling feel less alone ❤️

[@canadilynne2642]

I'm not sure how I missed this vlog, but it's one of the best sit downs you have ever done! I too have suffered with an eating disorder throughout my life except mine was binge eating disorder. I fed all my emotions good or bad with food in large quantities. Crisps, fast food, and chocolate were my kryptonite! I hid food and I gained weight to excess. Last year at the beginning the pandemic I got scared into making a change. As a woman in my 40's I was terrified that my unhealthy food behaviours would complicate things if I caught this worrisome virus. I hired a fitness/nutrition coach who could help me build a healthy relationship with food and my body. I feel better than I have in a VERY long time. I'm so glad you are doing so well, you are so beautiful and you deserve to love yourself! I hope you are always able to see your worth and your beauty above the crappy trolling that is inevitable in your profession. YOU ARE DOING AMAZING! 💕

[@annabel_182]

im so glad that youre talking about this! i feel like nobody ever talks about relapses which is absolutely insane because relapses are super common! as someone who's currently in recovery from an ed, thank you for being so public with your recovery journey. it's really inspiring and it helps me feel less alone. i hope you have a great day :)

[@hopeandpray1]

I love that you talk openly about this. I think a key thing to bear in mind is that in recovery not everyone is going to end up in a small body. We are not all built that way. Sometimes recovery doesn’t end with some natural weight loss and your set weight will be average or higher and that’s okay.

[@liahofstetter5670]

Tbh, I would never have thought that you gained any weight. You just look radiant, beautiful, joyful and alive. You can be proud of yourself, like really, really proud!

[@louisemac4101]

Thank you Anna! I needed this. I’ve struggled wit an eating disorder for 15 years! I’m slowly getting better with a lot of self work. So this is inspiring to hear! Thank you! Much love xxxxx

[@kooltom4]

Haven't watched one of your videos before, but it popped up and I was having a blaah weekend so clicked on it. Your candour and bravery to be "out there" in cyber space with people making nasty, cruel and vindictive comments is something else. I am 58 and I've had eating disorders (they kept morphing) since I was 13 & have never maintained the brief reprieves/recovery I've had, so you are doing the right thing Anna to deal with this now because the more neurologically/behaviourally entrenched it becomes the harder it is to overcome. It does change your brain and thus everything you think and do, you are quite right there. I felt it 40 years ago, even before research had identified it, I just knew something about my thinking and feeling was awry. You may well still have lapses but that's life, they are part of learning. I wish you all the best, I really truly hope you have the support and strength to keep beating this as it's most unlikely it will just resolve itself or you'll grow out of it, stay strong and brave and focused and alway ask for help and support when you need to.

[@heatabayko]

Beautiful inside and out Anna! So glad you are happy and well. You are glowing!

[@erinjones6384]

I am so proud of you and I 100% thank you for being so open and honest with us. I am a mom of 2 girls one 8 and 12 and i struggle with my body image. I am not overweight but i struggle with my image and have since traumatizing things happened when i was in 7th grade . I don't want to show my children my struggles and definitely don't want my children to see it or start the same things. So i am trying to make slow changes to not be so scared. I wish i could talk 1:1 with you but seeing these videos truly helps me know I'm not alone and i can make it better. I just will refrain from eating if I start to feel bloated. During quarantine and being stuck at home because of health problems has made me really stress because of weight gain.

[@liv5477]

Anna you’re wonderful. I’ve been watching your videos for years; I found your channel through an Urban Decay original Naked palette tutorial 😂 I remember thinking “this woman is GORGEOUS,” and more importantly, “this woman is articulate and intelligent and just seems to kind and lovely.” You are a wonderful, strong woman and seeing your growth over the years has given me joy, even just watching your videos while I do my makeup in the morning. It’s brought me peace and calm in a lot of anxious and unhappy times. Truly wishing you the absolute best. You deserve it!

[@alexclaire96]

You should be so proud of yourself! You look amazing and most important happy! 🧡💜💚

[@AnnaSaccone]

Aww, thank you so much Alex! ❤️

[@momlifeplansonline]

Thank you for having the strength and courage to share your journey so openly and honestly with everyone. Congratulations on one year of recovery!

[@TravelBug189]

I’m so happy and proud of you Anna. Please remember that recovery is not a linear! I pray that you do not relapse but please know that it’s ok if you do. It doesn’t minimize all the work you did and you’re doing! I also struggle with purging and you’re right, it is embarrassing. I’m ashamed of throwing up, I have bad breath, not so great teeth. Let’s face it, purging in the bathroom isn’t pretty. But I too am tired of being ashamed. Sometimes when I eat and go to the bathroom my mom asks if I’m throwing up and it feels so degrading but then again, my mom is just not a nice person. I still do it, I try not to and I don’t know if I will ever feel like I’m recovered. But I’m working so hard with a therapist and I’m proud of myself for that

[@clionamm]

Anna, I stopped watching you guys a while ago, maybe a year or so, after watching you since Emelia was a baby. Came back a couple of months ago and thought how much happier you seemed in your skin. No idea about what you were going though but sensed something. I hope you continue on this good journey, it's lovely to see you genuinely happy. Well done. I can't imagine how hard it is , especially being in the public eye, where people can be really mean. You're beautiful, you're healthy, you have wonderful kids and a lovely extended family. Lots of good wishes on your journey x

[@sueanderson3356]

You should be so very proud of your journey and speaking so publicly about this. There are so many people who will benefit from your willingness to be open honest. xoxo

[@ritasantos9628]

Anna, you seem so much happier and are just radiating peace and contentment. I suffered with exercise anorexia back when I was a professional dancer and feel like I’ve been dealing with repercussions of that ever since. I’m hopeful that one day I’ll find the peace with myself you’ve found. 💗💗

[@kristincampbell6585]

Anna, this brought tears to my eyes. I’ve been through this as well and found myself nodding in agreement and understanding through the entire video. I’m SO proud of you! I’ve followed you for probably 10 years and to see you this happy and healthy is so wonderful! Recovery is HARD and there are still thoughts that slip in from time to time for me. You speaking out and being honest about your journey WILL save someone! Keep up the amazing work!

[@thebjm1967]

I’m crying watching this! I struggled with bulimia from age 12 until 26 and even after I “recovered” it was a time later when I fell I with how I looked. I’m 38 now and I have a 10 month old and I truly believe he has helped me so much. I finally am comfortable with how I look! Thank you for sharing your journey! We love you!

[@louise0donnell191]

You are just so down to earth and have the most beautiful soul, gorgeous inside and out such a glowing mother you should be soo proud

[@leslievalenciano-lopez8887]

Congratulations, Anna! All of your hard work has made a healthier new you!!! I’m so happy for you!!!

[@elliepatchett5907]

Your a very strong woman! You should be so proud. Never feel ashamed you are who you are! your story just makes us all strong xxx

[@sophiasowa8153]

Anna, I've been following you since the day Eduardo was born. You've made such a huge positive impact on my life but the biggest one is you opening up about your eating disorder. Because of you being so open about it, I realised that I was going through orthorexia myself. Seeing you all happy and recovered makes me really happy and emotional. I only started intuitive eating and It's still hard for me but I know I'll get to a better stage mentally. I've so much respect and admiration for you and will forever be grateful to you sharing your journey cos it has helped me A LOT! lots of love xxxxxxxxxxx

[@MsMadeleine2704]

I literally never comment on videos, but I just have to say THANK YOU ANNA!! I have a BED that I am currently finally recovering from. I gained over 30 lbs allowing my body just to have what it craved and I've eventually lost interest in forbidden foods etc... this video was so helpful and encouraging, seeing someone else that "seems to have their life together" going through it and realizing that it's normal to struggle sometimes. I feel very motivated, encouraged and sure that I'm on the right track. PS: Maybe you can talk about how behave after a binge/ not so "perfect" day, since many eat less, exercise excessively etc to make up the binge even though that seems to be very counteractive :) Thank you Anna and much love from Germany xx

[@Wendy-xx4me]

I had no idea what you've been through and your update both touched me and made me cheer for you! I'm sure that sharing your journey will help so many others. Thank you and be well xx

[@TheBonniebeme]

I do know what you were going through I am now 60 years old and when I was a teenager I suffered from severe anorexia to the point that I only weighed 70 pounds. The recovery was difficult but now it’s just a distant memory. Good luck and I know you can overcome it all and will be much stronger for it.

[@lisazara__]

It is so nice to have you as an idol and “mentor” Anna! I am currently recovering from a 7 years long eating disorder and it is harder than I could ever imagine. I went from 45 kilos to 60 kilos in 2 months and am very very proud. However, because of my eating disorder, my stomach refuses to absorb vitamin b12 so now I have to inject myself 2 times a week for the rest of my life. It was so confusing because I knew I was gaining weight and getting better, but missing this vitamin caused me to faint and feel like a zombie for months. Luckily I now know what is wrong and hopefully it can help others that feel the same way. 😪 ❤️

[@AnnaSaccone]

Wow, that must have been so tough to go through! 😞 But I'm so happy to hear you're feeling much better, and good for you for getting it checked out! So important to look after yourself ❤️

[@claireisacamel]

I’m so glad you’re on the road to feeling more “normal” because faint and zombie-like is no bueno!! I’m cheering you on as you keep on your journey 👏👏👏👏

[@hompotreka]

Sometimes not exercising is ok. The body does need a break sometimes. I applaud you Anna. Please keep being honest and yourself and motivate us . Thank you

[@chrissym7228]

This is the first video I've ever watched of you and the things you talked about kept me intrested and wanting to meet more of you. The disappointing thing I heard that really broke my heart was when you said "I knew people were going to comment, because I was wearing less clothes " I cannot believe you even think and worry about this! Even more I cannot believe people would say horrible things like that!!! You are gorgeous and I can see it first from inside, you're heart shows and I've only watched you for 2 min! I know this is real for you and I k ow you have to be helping many many people and you're brave for sharing. I'm looking forward to discovering you from here on. Xxxoooo

[@paigesmallwood4328]

As someone who has struggled with body image and disordered eating I appreciate how open and honesty you’ve been through your journey. You look so happy and that’s what’s matters! You’re an amazing example to not only your girls but women and teens everywhere. ❤️

[@shawnsmith7388]

Girl this video blessed me so much. My story is quite similar to yours in a lot of ways. But it’s so rare to find someone who understands the recovery process. You made that comment that everyone is telling you the exact opposite of what you actually need. That part is hard for me. It was so nice to hear you put to words things that I have walked through. You were eloquent and real and so honest. You made it all sound so right which felt nice to reinforce my current life choices for my health.

[@natalieconvey5782]

Congratulations on your one year recovery! What a great accomplishment Anna. You are a great role model. My teenage daughter was diagnosed with an ED (about 1 year ago) and is on her way through recovery as well. I always share your stories with her. Thank you

[@phyllisquinlan]

May your Angels continue to support your journey, Anna. You are so courageous and inspiring to so many. You are saving lives, my 8-plus year friend. Blessings

[@scrumps101]

As a viewer that has been around from, literally, your first video on this channel I first want to say I’m incredibly honored to have witnessed you so eloquently share the details of such a difficult and personal journey. This was so well shared and authentic. It’s humbling to hear the struggles of a fellow human because after all we are all just trying to live the best we know how while fighting whatever demons that try and steer us off our path. Our struggles may not all look the same but ultimately they are just that in different forms. Secondly, you are truly glowing. Watching your confidence transform over this last year is so inspiring. What an incredible journey it has been and the results are evident in so many ways. A very sincere congratulations Anna, ❤️

[@meggoeggo1023]

I love when you said "Your body knows what it wants and it knows what it needs" Definitely the best way for us to fully thrive!

[@LeernandRana]

Shame cannot live when we bring things from dark places into safe conversations. This video provides hope and encouragement. Thank you❤️

[@Jcd644]

THANK YOU for sharing your story Anna❤️ Not only does is help those struggling with disordered eating but it also helps every single person watching have empathy by understanding your struggle. I personally have never fought this battle, but it’s taught me to be conscious of the signs, the language I use when speaking about food and dieting to help make the environment around me an inclusive space where everyone feels worthy. We are all so proud of you and it’s clear how far you’ve come

[@dawnkelleher2075]

Well done Anna! Your beautiful inside and out don’t ever forget that. So proud of you for talking about such a hard subject for you xxxx

[@denisedugal8713]

I just really love seeing the comments on this post. I never understood how people could attack others online, so I’m glad I didn’t see any of that here. Anna, I have watched you since right before Emilia was born and you have always been a beautiful inspiration, but there is a new sparkle in your eyes! I commend you for being truthful about the hardships of your journey and for sticking it out! You deserve this freedom! And just look at how you have shown a light onto a dark subject for so many... Keep going love! I’m happy you are happy ❤️

[@rileyrith5901]

I have been following you Anna since the beginning and have gain and loss 3 people 3 times. I had been walking through food freedom through prayer within the last 3 years and discovered that you were on the same journey. I am nervous and a little scared but I can truly say I won't go back to the prison I put myself in. I wish I could find a group to have a chat with someone sometimes but right now I think that would be too triggering!! So I really appreciate this post Anna! I am guessing it must be healing for you, it certainly is healing for me and helps me feel I am not alone! :)

[@robertamcmunn3642]

I did not know what Orthorexia was but looked it up. I could see from your vlogs without knowing that you were getting obsessed with healthy food and trying to convince yourself it tasted good. So very happy for you that you are feeling better and you have honestly never looked so good Anna.

[@LisaCarmen92]

I’m really grateful for how honest you’ve been throughout your recovery, I’ve definitely found it really helpful and hopeful. Ive tried recovery so many times and at the moment am caught right in the grip of my ED, I hope one day I have the strength you have to recover once and for all and finally be happy and healthy

[@gge228]

Thank you so much Anna for sharing your story, for being so open and raw! I respect you so much for doing this. You are right for being proud of yourself for taking this big step for your own health and well-being. You are such a wonderful example and I honor you for it! 💕

[@jacquelinetorrecillas8017]

Hi Anna. I don’t think I’ve ever commented on your videos, but I’ve watched you for years! I just want to say that following your journey has been extremely helpful to me in my recovery process. I’ve had this issue with food, as well as body dysmorphia since I was maybe 8 or 9 years old. I’m 30 now and I can’t believe I’ve lived my life like this. It’s extremely tiring and I’m so done with it. In the last few months, I’ve learned to intuitively eat and listen to my body. I’ve gotten rid of the scale and work out for myself and my mental health rather than for weight loss. We may not know one another on a personal level but I have never related to someone so much. Thanks for talking about this and sharing your story. Wishing you all the best. -Jackie ❤️

[@sklamant]

Well done, you deserve to be happy, you are gorgeous, you are the best mum and wife. I feel so close to you and your family after watching for SO many years your vlogs have got me through so many hard times. Thankyou for being you!

[@LindsaySatmary]

So proud of you! You are a beautiful person inside and out, a wonderful mother, and an amazing role model. I think everyone struggles with something in their life, and to see you face it so publicly so you can help others means a lot.

[@sophiecooke4075]

I’m so happy for you😊 I’ve been recovering from disordered eating for 2 years and it still blows my mind how the prevailing message on Instagram would have me go back to it! Can’t even imagine how much magnified that would be for you being in the public eye. Thanks for sharing your experience, keep up the fab work!xxx

[@oliviaanthony6369]

you genuinely look so happy and that is so inspiring to me as a young girl who struggles with body image and positivity. thank you for always being 100% real and honest

[@Bec_h]

I’m literally crying right now oh my god, since you’ve started opening up about your relapse I’ve realised I’ve been watching the vlogs as it’s been happening because I’m currently a year behind, and when you said you “purged for the last time” after Emilia’s 7th birthday party that really hit me because that was the most recent vlog that I legit just watched yesterday 😭 I’m so proud of how well you’ve come on your journey to recovery Anna!

[@CosmicColette]

So so proud of you and this video has so much power to help others! I had an eating disorder in my teens and I'm now an eating disorder support worker, and it's such a complex illness. Recovery is always possible and food freedom is incredible! x

I had tears in my eyes all the way through this, Anna you ARE an inspiration to everyone. Seeing the support you’re giving people in the comments is phenomenal, I’m lucky to admit i’ve never had an eating disorder but even i appreciate seeing and watching these kind of videos as i work with children and i think it’s good information is available and is around for them to see and watch if it ever did happen to them! Thank you Anna, you’re amazing, and you’re worthy! You look great and even better now that you’re genuinely happy!

Oh Anna, you are such a sweet soul 💕🤗 I am so proud of you!! As someone who's watched you since before you were even a mama, it has been so beautiful watching your journey! Thank you for your rawness, these videos save lives 💚💕 You are GORGEOUS from the inside-out, and that is what exudes true beauty! Plus you're a courageous badass to boot, we all know why people who were insulting you were doing it, and I'm just in awe how you have still handled yourself with grace and confidence which can be so hard to do!!! I have struggled with addiction in my past, and my 8-year anniversary is coming up - you CAN do this!!! One year is HUUUGE!!! Sending you and the family SO much love and peace!

Anna you are so incredible. These are scary topics to talk about anonymously. I can't comprehend the courage it would take to share your journey. But I know it has helped me and I'm guessing countless others. I still have a hard time. I know my personal view of my worth is too tied up in the way that I physically look. I'm working on it. But it's so wonderful to see your journey and how far you've come. You are beautiful!

So proud of you Anna for talking so openly about your journey. Well done you!

So very proud of you Anna. Thanks so much for sharing. It is great to hear that you are happy with where you are.

Anna, you give me so much hope that I can rewire my own brain. I don’t suffer from the same as you, but the process of needing to rewire/catching up is the same. Thank you for sharing your story

[@juliebosgraaf3259]

What a milestone you have achieved! I really respect your honesty as well. Don’t feel ashamed you are one brave, tough lady. I’ve noticed how much happier you’ve been. It’s really great to see!

[@Gardenia2482]

Why is this video making me cry?! I am so happy for you, Anna! Is it weird to say I truly care about you and love you! I am so happy you are able to make this video!

So proud of you Anna. You are so brave to speak about this topic so openly and I think you inspire so many other women to seek support if they need to. xxx

I’ve watched your channel for years and years. I knew, or guessed, about your eating disorder and I am soooo happy for you to be successful in recovery. Please watch your girls as they get to those teen years. They have two role models in their lives, one who restricts food and one who exercises. All in moderation is the key! 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

Well done! Thanks for sharing and I feel a lot of people( both men and women) are going through this right now. Remember..”opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.” People are always going to say something so making yourself happy is the most important.

It's so hard to give up a body image, embrace a new one. Also, the comfort of isolation, escape from daily unbearable stress that bulimia allows... all the respect in the world to Anna.

[@mollyclarke9987]

Anna you are incredible! I’m 18 & I idolise you so much, you are so strong, gorgeous and kind and I can only dream of being as good of a mother as you are one day x

[@KarlaCulbertson]

Anna, you are so amazingly brave for sharing this!! You are also stunning! I have watched your family for about 5 years now and love you guys!
