9 MONTHS IN ANOREXIA RECOVERY: 9 things i've learned

[@maya7190]

honestly, the biggest thing I notice are ur eyes. At the beginning of ur journey, they were duller. As you've recovered, they've honestly taken a glow to them. I can almost see the recovery in your eyes, they just look so much fuller and full of life. ur doing such a good job, lysm

one thing that I learnt from recovery was that food is not only calories. It's a great source to cope with your day as well as it gathers people. I could not imagine my life without meeting my friends almost every Friday to have dinner together. To sum up, food goes beyond calories

[@RoMitchell]

yes! yes yes yes

[@finjastarke4320]

Your KZbin videos really help me a lot. With your posts you motivate me to keep going and not to give up. I guess I'm not the only one feeling like that. I usually get something to eat while watching your videos to distract myself a little and that works really well! Thank you so much! You're doing amazing!❤️

Dear Ro, I promise not to overwhelm you- but I listened to this posting again tonight. I live in the US. I also shared it with my therapist- who is a wonderful woman whom I started with in 2014. I chose my version of recovery because I developed a very rare illness in 2013 which was the one type of abuse that I realized I didn’t deserve. It’s called, ironically, Mitchell’s disease. - you can Google it. But my body cannot control temperature anymore and my feet and lower legs turn bright red and burn at all times because my feet think that 60 degrees is 110. It is torture. So I called it my epiphany but I know that my routine is still regimented. I have watched many recovery posts before but, honestly, your ability to perceive and explain what you have learned are the exact things that I struggle with and your words here -in your 17 minute video- had been more helpful than anything I have heard or read. You have immense insight into what your anorexic life took from you but also what you have had to accept or change in order to live a full life. I am so proud of you for learning this at age 19. My unhealthy relationship with my body and food started in childhood because my mother, my only parent, had an eating disorder- not anorexia but she excluded many foods from our “ allowed” diet. I learned the rules but never knew I had the “ wrong “ rule book I lost most of my life to AN not at drastic weights always but in my point of view. Then I got this disease and that was my impetus to change but now 8 years or quasi I know that this is not food freedom. Your words are so wise and you care indeed I role model and! If you were to choose it, you could be a therapist for sure God bless you and take care. Your words are powerful and much appreciated! Best, Abby

[@-dn-sdrawberiee253]

I saw an older video before stumbling onto this one and girl...you are BEAUTIFUL. I'm talking your eyes, face, lips, smile- I don't even know you but seeing how being healthy and lively enhances your natural features almost makes me tear up. Being in a better place really shows in all sorts of ways. You're literally glowing right now.

[@donnabursey1457]

"I'm not going to be happy restricting...the only thing that would be happy would be the anorexia. " (paraphrased) -this is so true. I don't have anorexia, but if you substitute body image/ego-yeah. This is a true reminder to be guided by better than the images you see everywhere of what "attractive women" should look like. Thank you.

I got by your channel by posting something about my eating disorder on another channel, someone mentioned you. I’m going to watch your videos and hope I’ll learn something and maybe I can make the next step. I’m at the point that I eat everything but only at night and in 1 go. I’ve also been at the point that you are in now, it’s a real struggle. It’s good (for me) to see someone else having the same struggles I had and openly talk about it. I wish you all the best in your recovery and just to let you know, you’re not alone 🙂 ❤️. And you’re number two point is a struggle I still have. Weightnumbers still control me a lot… it can make a good day into a bad day, but how you talk about it already let me think about it more. 🙂

I came straight to this video from the Challenging Food Rules one. The most immediate thing that struck me is the increased speed, volume, and warmth with which you speak. Full-chested and confident. Normal, the speech I expect from my loved ones and those I meet on the street. Before you sounded like a nice person, but thoroughly exhausted, weak, scared, even a little drab. You sounded ill, and not in the romantic wispy pro-ana nonsense way. I'm so, so happy for you and I hope you're bursting with pride for yourself!

[@karou.8947]

I used to love watching your videos. The way you would be afraid of something just to take a bite of it and go "...this is actually really nice!!" gave me life. The life got busy for a while and now here I am, back in front of your videos. Your whole posture has changed. The way you move and the way you hold yourself radiate so much more strength. Girl I'm so happy for you. A big hug from over the pond.

I always thought I was just changing not thinking it had to do with my Anorexic tendencies. Thank you for the realisation hitting

It's amazing that you're going through this journey and so helpful that you're documenting it. I'm 26 and have struggled with various forms of disordered eating for so long and although I would consider myself to have a generally healthy relationship with food now, I still suffer from body image issues. It's only been in the past year through therapy that I've started to detach my value from the way that I look and started to accept that my body has changed and will change as I get older; it's sad to think about how much time and energy I've wasted being so obsessed with how I look. You talking about how you feel like yourself again and how being thinner does not make you a better person is such a helpful reminder that there's so much more to life than our weight.

I find the idea of recovery terrifying, and I truly don't think I'm mentally ready but I'm going to start by at least telling my parents what's going on and seeking professional help.

I regained to a healthy weight and I HATE it! I feel sick looking at myself. And no matter how much I eat I’m STILL hungry 😞 The things you said about missing the girl you used to be really struck a nerve with me. I’ve been battling with my body for 3 decades. I’m 39 now and each year I feel a little more lost, a little more far away from myself. I don’t remember who I am anymore. I don’t remember what it feels like to not feel sad. I always feel a bit sad and a bit scared. Like that’s my baseline, even if I laugh at something or feel a bit lighter for a minute. I still feel sad and scared. Anyway.

Hi Ro, every time you upload a video it makes my day 10x better. 😊 One thing I have learned from recovery is that it cannot be easy and if it is your doing something wrong. You have to make mistakes to learn from them and grow. I have made so many mistakes in my recovery that made me want to restrict, relapse etc but from these mistakes I grew stronger. I am still recovering and I am also 9 months in (kinda cool) and if I can give any advice to someone reading this it’s that recovery will not be a linear graph, your going to have days when you may be rocking it and feel awesome and then maybe there is a day where you feel like maybe your on the negative side of the y axis and that’s okay!

Something I have learned in recovery is that losing weight and not eating never brings anything but more anxiety and misery. Nothing good has ever come of it, therefore in recovery it's not an option to ever follow that thought. If you lapse it will change the way you think and feel pretty quickly and that's scary so it'd important to get back on track ASAP 💕

i can relate so much to the personality thing. when i was at my lowest points i already then realized that there's nothing left of my personality and now, after 6 months of letting go (even though i didn't choose recovery, just got out of control and started to binge since my body was craving for a lot more food) i can finally see my old self, and it feels familiar in a good way. i do feel more like myself even though i may not be content with my looks. i can see better whether ppl like me for me and don't worry that they only like me cause i'm small and if i get bigger it'll change. i'm finally in a healthy relationship as well rather than a toxic one and i'd say that is thanks to gaining weight :)

So happy to see you doing well and continuing to show yourself love & compassion. It takes a lot of courage and commitment : )

ro, this week has been really hard. i’ve felt guilt for not exercising and still eating the same amount, and it has fogged my brain. whenever you post, it’s like i have a friend that knows exactly what i’m going through. you’re so strong and comforting, and i’m so grateful for you and your bravery to share your journey.

The way you talk about your experience of recovery is so eloquent and it really sounds like it’s coming from the heart. They a hard lessons to understand and learn and you can really tell you’ve worked so hard to learn them. I’m a psychologist and IMPLORE you to train as a therapist. Obv only if it’s right for you and your journey 😉 but you’d be amazing at it

just watched this before heading off to bed and i don't think i could go to sleep feeling any better, you are so sweet and generous your smile and wise words would light up any room in the world thank you ro x p.s i've learnt that just because someone else struggled more doesn't invalidate your own struggles someone else will always have it worse and its not your job to 'beat that'

You talking about how you lost your sense of humour and parts of your personality and not feeling like you’d never laugh again hit me, I relate to that so much. Growing up I always had a very bubbly personality and was super social then I developed my eating disorder and eventually all my thoughts were surrounding food and my weight and I basically lost my personality because of it which I didn’t realise until I decided to recover and one day broke down crying because I missed who I used to be and was scared I’d never be like that again. But here I am now recovered and doing so much better, I definitely think I’ve gained back my sense of humour and those parts of me that I lost which is amazing, I’m so glad I chose to recover. And I’m so glad you chose recovery too, I know it can be hard you’re doing amazing Ro, you’re truly inspiring ❤️❤️

I relate to your point about losing your personality. I feel similar (due to something other than anorexia) but am in the thick of realizing I lost my personality and have a long road ahead to getting it back 💞
