haes pl Absolutely. It always hits me hard when Meg says this. I accepted that not only would I gain weight but that I might be fat, chubby, whatever word you might choose. I told myself that I want to be fully recovered even if that means being fat. It has helped me enormously and I have made great progress. I haven’t said this before because I didn’t want to offend. haes pl, you’re so right. Also, I don’t like this new body but I am trying to stay neutral about it and I don’t need to love it, just to be grateful for what that extra chub allows me to do ha ha❤️

@Alison Thorpe, I'm so gad that I'm not the only one who noticed that:) I have also hesitated to post this comment, because the last thing I want is to offend Meg. I love her to pieces! But I decided to post this because I hope it can help her (and other viewers) to change her (their) mindset. I strongly believe that radical body acceptance is crucial to achieve full recovery and live happy, unapologetic life. Really, being fat is not something to be afraid of. Of course our fat phobic society doesn't prize us for being fat but we need to be aware that certain value that is attached to being fat is purely cultural. It changes over time. And if we want to sacrify our health and happiness to fullfill certain standards, that's our choice. But is it worth it? And I love how you write about staying neutral about your body, Alison. Because that's how it is! Our body is neutral. I'm happy you made progress in your recovery and I wish you all the best

haes pl. Thank you for your lovely comments. I have found that the haes community on instagram and you tube has helped my mindset enormously. Accepting that to be recovered I will gain weight and may be fat, has freed up space in my head to live my life as I want to. When the anxiety in my head starts and I am questioning my food choices, it stops really quickly because I answer it back that it doesn’t matter if I get fat , so what! Then I just get on with it. It is getting easier day by day. Meg’s channel is amazing, her content so helpful and she is such a lovely person. I know we all support her and thank her for her insights. haes pl, thank you again❤️❤️❤️

Hiiiii, yes totally totally get this comment. And I think addressing the fear of what getting fat means to you.... So like I am scared of getting fat because x, y, z (people will reject me, I'll be a failure, no one will love me, I'd never be happy... Whatever it is) and I think a big part of recovery is realising that skinny doesn't = happy, and fat doesn't = rejected, miserable, failure (whatever some one's beliefs are). Yeh totally totally take your guys points, thanks for the comment. I'll try and be less crude about it when I say that in future xxx

This is exactly what I needed to hear right now. Every week after seeing the doctor and being told I need to stop losing weight and start gaining I get a spark of motivation. I don't want to get worse and I have so many reasons to recover, but when it comes to actually doing the things I need to do- I just can't and I'm reinforcing my anorexic thoughts. Thank you for your advice, I love watching your videos because you are honest and real and have practical tips for dealing with the daily struggles of ed recovery.

Hello love🤗 You look amazing!!🌼 Well, I’ve been dealing with the whole “choose lower cal” crap too. It’s been such a struggle!! I’ll crave something and deny myself (fear foods) but then I end up unsatisfied and feel like I over eat on other things just to compensate for the craving unintentionally 😞😭. I really wish I had your inner spark and attitude... I’m so motivated and tired of this taking over my life but deal with it in sadness. BUT, i always looooove when u upload! I love watching and listening. #subbieforever #luvya #wegotthis Ps... your fiancé, family & friends are soooo blessed to have u in their life!!!

Hahaha love it, although I don't always make the right decisions. I do find it helpful to have role models though. Friends or people I know who I respect and have healthy attitudes to food and their body and I think "well is this food OK for them? Can they eat it without whatever compensation/guilt etc". It does help me to try and be more like the people I admire and to live the life I want to live. Really really hope your team are good and can support you through the challenges. There really isn't an easier way than just doing it and facing these fears. Lots of love back xxx

I do the same thing with planning foods. If it’s written I don’t have to think about it, I have no option I need to do it. But if I’m in front of a fridge I have to deal with making a choice.

What I'm struggling right now with is my head telling me I don't deserve to eat so much because I'm barely at a 'healthy' bmi, even though I know I still need to gain weight until my set point and I can't keep restricting with the excuse that I'm not hungry, I don't need to blah blah but it's just so hard to keep telling myself that I need to do this so that I can actually live like a normal teenage girl. Ahh.

I'm actually in a hospital right now for my eating disorder. Took me a while to agree to it, but now I'm "fully" committed to it. I say "fully", because I still have these thoughts whenever they let me choose if I want half a nutritional drink or a banana (and I choose the banana because I want real food and not stupid drinks, but also the banana tastes better and has fewer calories), or if I would like cheese or ham on my slice of bread, and I want to say ham because it has fewer calories (but instead I chose BOTH, because I have a long way to go until I get privileges and maybe even get to go home early and work on this at home). But they can probably see the math and chaos going on inside my head during these few seconds after they've asked me and I get stressed. But your videos have helped me so freaking much. You and Rebecca Jane are the youtubers I've followed the most throughout my journey, but you are the one I connect with the most. Your fears are so real and honest, but you tackle them and that makes me so motivated. Your mantra "food is just food", has stuck with me, and helped me through some tough situations, and now this one with the recovery tokens, I'm surely going to use this one now during my stay here whenever I feel guilty for choosing and extra slice of cheese when I didn't have to, or milk in my coffee when I've had my coffee without it for years now, just so I can get better and my body gets the nutrients it needs to build itself up again.

Good for you using the mantras & choosing actions against the ED thoughts. Other things which helped me are “just because you get a thought, doesn’t mean you need to act on it”, & also “break the cycle”, so add the milk etc.... these cycles don’t break themselves. Also thinking that I don’t want food to be an equation, my body is not a calculator, I don’t want each meal to be a maths project etc... & then again break the cycle to go against those tempting ED thoughts & instead do opposites. Choose the thing which is more 💪💪 repeat, repeat & it will get easier with time xxxx

This video hit the spot like nothing else does. Unfortunately osteoporosis isn’t visible to the eye, so how the fuck would we know if we get it once you’re in the depths of an eating disorder?! It’s just not something you think about and I think all GP’s should do a bone scan. I also have a severe case of osteoporosis and god, what have we done to ourselves?! Loved every single thing about this video and I’m so proud of the changes you’re making.❤️

Just a few more weeks of gaining weight!

This was such a real talk!! How do I get rid of the lowest calorie option?! People who were in ED for "only" a few months recommend to stop looking at calorie labels, but I have been counting for more than 10 years and all the numbers are in my head. As your thoughts are so similar to mine, do you also have that awful feeling of winning/feeling superior if someone close to you gains weight? I hate it and try not to think that way, as it only feeds my ED behaviour. Any ideas how to stop it? Fighting the thoughts is harder than fighting anything else.

Hi, I don't hugely get this I'm afraid, although I would hate it if some one close to me went on a diet. I think just blocking that person out, you are on your path, regardless of what some one else's weight does the facts remain the same for you.... Restricting and controlling food, weight and calories leads to misery! Sorry, not sure if that helps

I really appreciate your honesty about your struggles in keeping motivated. I really recognize being very motivated to change, but when in face of food and making decisions at the moment itself, I freak out and stick to the ED rituals! I love what you said about 'connecting the dots' with our behavior of now with where we want to be in the future. This is very helpful, because the quick fixes are so very tempting but also so not helping to get us where we want to be. And how wonderful is you soon-to-be-husband! Is he going to therapy with you, or do you talk a lot about how he can be helpful in your recovery? Or does he make up all these things by himself? I think this can be so beneficial to have such a support at home! Usually people are not very understanding, or patient and they can be very criticizing in my experience, which can lead to relapse or feeling very guilty for not doing 'better'. I really would like to hear how you both are dealing with this, finding a way to be so supportive and connected in recovery!

How do you deal with bloating? I feel whenever I even eat or drink something, my abdomen would expand. One stranger even commented if I was pregnant? :( I'm very conscious about my stomach area now. I'm not as underweight as I used to be, but the tightening of pants is really depressing me. Thanks for staying real and true to yourself. :)

I'm a bloater as well (Lol! That just struck me as funny!), and I have been very self-conscious of it as well. I have been taking probiotics and digestive enzymes right before I eat, and that seems to be helping. Also, bloating is extremely common in recovery, so there will probably be less bloating as time goes on.

Definitely less bloating as time goes on. I think bloating will still happen even at a heathly weight because body’s do bloat, but mine has gotten so much better just in the last few months. I tend to go through periods where it randomly gets bad again but overall it’s improving. So keep giving your body all food groups so it can learn what to do & stop bloating as much xx

Meg do you ever experience extreme hunger ? Bingeing? I never had anorexia, rather bulimia (binge/Pure disorder). When you talk about Food you want to avoid / reduce, I dont have fear foods but I keep having huge indulge / binge moments. I am not underweight any more. I am scared I developed BED.

Megsy - when ostheoporosis arises it is better to eat the plant versions of animal products because they are less acidic what leads to less mineral release from the bones what leads to ostheoporosis. Calories and abundance will still be there. No restriction just a better source for your bone health. There are many studies one bone health and the damage that animal products are doing to them.

Hey Megsy xx If you have osteoporosis, it might be best to cut out all dairy products and switch to the plant-based alternatives... Contrary to popular belief, dairy actually leeches calcium from your bones... I suggest looking up some studies and doing the research yourself. There's an alternative for everything now: Milk, cheese, butter e.t.c. So it shouldn't be too hard xx Thank you for your videos btw.. they've really helped me through my own recovery 💕
