i‘m literally crying, it’s crazy how far you’ve come! you can be so so proud of yourself! 💗💗💗

[@RoMitchell]

don't cry !!! 💕💘💞thank u + sending u so much love

[@laurenlargen3396]

This is so amazing! Sometimes I think people don’t quite understand how real/intense fear foods can be… but you fucking crushed it! Thank you for inspiring my own recovery journey

[@RoMitchell]

i agree !! thank u so much x

[@floralia1909]

How does YT allow you to comment a bad word without removing it? 😅

[@cc-jz3wh]

McDonalds was one of the first foods that helped me recover because I have good memories surrounding it & often got it with friends. It’s proof everyone is different

[@RoMitchell]

this is true

[@e.y3251]

Just you saying "I like food" made me smile. I'm so proud of how far you've come!!! It's okay that you feel overwhelmed (I'm sure you know that) still I hope you won't feel so overwhelmed anymore soon

[@annadunne5430]

This community you’ve built is absolutely amazing, your channel is such a safe place that encourages me and countless others to keep pushing through the hard times that recovery brings. Thank you so much for sharing your journey ❤️

[@RoMitchell]

genuinely this makes me so happy - thank YOU for being here 💖💗💕

[@charlottehart311]

You’ve helped me stay on track with my anorexia recovery! I can’t thank you enough

[@RoMitchell]

this means the world wow🥺 i'm so proud of you 🤎

[@cheymadidi6020]

I’m honestly really proud to read this title.I’m myself recovering of anorexia, and even tho I’m still in the begging of my recovery, your videos help me to not lose hope and to keep fighting so that maybe one day ill be able to say that I’m recovered. Thank you.

[@RoMitchell]

sending all my love to you - you've got this x

[@mondays4468]

my family always eat mcdonald’s (usually once every week aha) soo when i first started recovery they were begging me to eat with them there and eventually after about 4 months of refusal i realised that it was the anorexia that was stopping me from joining in with them so i bought a burger ! :) it was quite embarrassing as i was shaking with fear in mcdonald’s and i got very overwhelmed BUT i ate it!! and it was delicious and felt so empowering to eat! :) i started with smaller burgers and each time i’ve been i’ve increased the size, im now able to eat a mcplant burger! eventually i want to be able to challenge myself to have a burger AND fries (with no compensation)!!

[@nele4206]

that made me so happy to read. i'm so proud of you!

[@mondays4468]

so update, it’s now 2 months later and now i have confidently been able to eat mcdonald’s without feeling much anxiety or guilt after eating 🥳🥳 yesterday i ordered some fries with the meal, i ate most of them even though they weren’t nearly as good as my home made ones and they were slightly cold and flavourless but i was so impressed with myself. after that my family all ordered mcflurries and at first i wasn’t going to have one and i was just going to have dessert at home but then i realised, what makes me unable to get dessert at mcdonald’s? anorexia. soo i got an oreo mcflurry and wow it tasted so so good, literally was like my childhood it was so beautiful. sounds dramatic but it was so incredible i can’t believe i ever restricted something so delicious.

[@Ashyblubear]

@@mondays4468 that is so incredible!!! Life’s too short not to enjoy some dang fries! (homemade or otherwise) You should be really proud! ❤️

[@user-ni7oy6oq4l]

I’m so happy for you keep fighting for your freedom❤

[@awholeworldoflove9275]

Hi Ro. So proud of you. I just wanted to say NEVER feel pressure to share the "other thing" going on. As you develop a parasocial relationship with your viewers you might feel pressure to share more and more. But you've shared many times that you feel safer not sharing certain things. I respect your boundaries and I know so many other people on here, if not everyone, respects them too. You have so many supportive, understanding people following your journey. Sending you so much love.

[@RoMitchell]

thank you so so much for this - sending all my love also x

[@aco6119]

you and your parents literally help me fight every single day with your words, i am so happy and proud ! Love you ro 🤎

[@RoMitchell]

ily !!!! 💕💞💘

[@holly6480]

It’s really brave, but also surprising, to hear you say you were concerned you weren’t making “good videos”. Never forget how many people you’ve influenced in such a positive way and it’s all down to the effort and hard work you’ve put in through making these videos :) keep on trucking you’re doing amazing 💗

[@NaomiElizabeth96]

I love how incredibly supportive your friends and boyfriend is , it’s so great to hear then hyping you up , just shows how much they love you xx

[@silkecarina991]

I‘m not suffering from an ED nor do I know someone who does, but I really love to watch your videos and I’m beyond happy with your progress. It really brings me joy to see how you’re facing your fears one step at a time. Keep going :)

[@RoMitchell]

thank you so much ! 💗

[@laurabuck1333]

'you need it to keep you alive, and trust me, there's always going to be people who want you alive.' i really needed to hear that, thank you ro

[@ekisde6302]

it's safe to say I've recovered with you since the very first day and i already got out of my fear of McDonald's months ago so it was now your turn this is so special omg🥺♥️

[@RoMitchell]

ah, sending you so much love x

[@luheals]

I’m currently rewatching some of your old videos (hence why I’m commenting on this like 1,5 years later) and the 'want a biscuit my love?' just made me so happy, I’m so glad that you and brandon are together, you seem to be so perfect for each other 💙

[@sophiarubens54]

your hamster is precious 🐹🥺 so proud of you for facing your fears 🪴

[@RoMitchell]

Your videos are so comforting

[@RoMitchell]

that's all i want to do ! thank u for being here 💕💞💘

[@nele4206]

hey ro you don't have to explain yourself why you don't want to share something very personal! i think we all understand that. you inspire so many people with an ed (me included). you gave me so much motivation to start real recovery. thank you so much

[@RoMitchell]

ah thank you ! all my love to u x

[@Private_pandemonium]

RO, I never comment, but I just have to say I'm so proud of you Internet stranger! And how far you've come. Remember, recovery is not linear, it's OK to be a little anxious and down from time to time, you've made some major changes recently and that's a lot for anyone to take on but you're here smashing it!!! You go girl, be kind to yourself X

[@RoMitchell]

ah thank you so much ! x

[@harrietshadbolt1092]

i’m actually so so proud GO RO!!! i started watching you since i was in the depth of anorexia searching for any sign of hope NOW IM RECOVERED AFTER ALL THE HELL I AM FREEE I CAN LIVE. it’s so happy to see you living your life aswell, Thank you honestly thank you

[@sophiaj3401]

I'm soo proud of you!!

[@JennVix]

I'm so proud of you, Ro! 💗💗💗 I know how difficult it is; I deeply empathise, and I'm also in recovery. Two nights ago, I ate some Taco Bell, and though I struggled, and it took a while, I did it. I felt odd after, but I really did it. I eat takeaway like this about once monthly, to try to test myself.

[@Hxjsjdndbd]

Ro I feel like I’ve literally recovered with you, it makes me so happy to see how far you’ve come. Don’t feel pressured to post perfectly on KZbin, we love you anyways! We want you to take care of yourself first 🥰🥰 you are so special and we love you

[@aenachua7009]

[@recreatinggabs]

Aw Ro! So proud of you, you smashed it! Your journey inspires me so much, I’m trying to recover from anorexia too and seeing people like you gives me hope that it doesn’t have to be like this. Recovery is possible, even though at times I feel hopeless. Thank you ❤️ xx

[@blackjacq5781]

you’ve come so so far, i’m so proud of you, you are an inspiration to so many people and their hope and their light; what a glorious legacy to hold 🖤🖤

this means so much :) thank you x

[@miasaric2301]

im about three-ish months into recovery and im really struggling however your videos help me so much and remind me that an0rexia is not my friend and that i dont ever wanna go back to it. thank you so much ro, you have no idea how much i aspire to recover like you.

[@abbielund1787]

It’s so easy for somebody else to say this but please don’t feel like a failure-your content has motivate me (and so many others) regardless of how often you post-you are a true inspiration and should be proud of the channel you have created. Lots of love x

[@RoMitchell]

thank you so so much, you’re lovely

[@fer-sb8li]

I've been in recovery for almost 2 months now and today i challenged ice cream!! i was so anxious and the ed thoughts have been so loud ngl but this video really helped me a lot. you've helped me a lot ro, ty so SO much. and I'm really proud of u

[@maiawood8309]

this has made me so emotional, i am so insanely proud of you and also so inspired. you have helped me so much and so many other people. 💗

[@RoMitchell]

bless you, this is so kind

[@leahdragon]

I saw the hamster and thought 'Oh no, why do you have a cage like that?' and then the edit made my heart melt. Thank you for doing the best for your animals and educating yourself on the proper way to house them. I've been here since basically day one of your journey on TikTok and in so proud of how far you've come. EDs are never easy to recover from, having to face your fears every day is hard, but worth it. I'm in recovery myself and have been for 5 years now. Good luck!

[@n.oelaniii1002]

So proud of you 👏🏻 that such a huge milestone

[@RoMitchell]

thank you 🤍

[@sputniksweetheart61]

hey Ro! you are one of my biggest inspirations in mental health recovery and for making my life better in general so i can’t thank you enough!! you deserve an amazing life and so many beautiful memories to save, keep doing what you’re doing and live your best life 💗

so proud of you ro🤍

[@RoMitchell]

thank you 💕💞💘

[@ugnemangarovaite8032]

Hi, Ro! I just want to say you are a truly insparing person for me. I strugle with anorexia and truly I'm more scared of guilt than the food it self. For me scariest thing is to stop comparing myself with my sister, but today i bought my self a caramel pastry and I'm gonna enjoy it with your help. Thank you so much❤️

[@RoMitchell]

i'm SO proud of you 🤎 you are your own person + you have you own needs x

[@tatianacornock6372]

Been watching you for months now and to see how far you've come and the amount of self growth is just so inspiring to me. You have definitely helped me in my ED recovery in how I view recovery and food, I'm only just starting my recovery journey again but since watching you I'm now in alot better of a place to tackle it again and I'm sure this goes for alot of viewers so we all thank you and keep grinding hard for full recovery! you can so do this xx

[@bowtiesarecool1011]

Ro, you are a literally star. I have to admit when I saw the title for this the anorexia in my head tripped a little like, “she won!?what!?”. I am so so happy for you and I hope I can eventually be as brave as u. Please don’t stop. You are such an inspiration to keep going. We love u💛💛

[@kaitlynnlepage755]

So unbelievably proud of you Ro! I've been watching your content for months and have seen you grow so much. Despite any negative thoughts you may of gotten, you just need to remember that the fact that you did go through with this challenge proves just how much stronger you are than this illness

[@cathy6828]

Watching these videos/you in general always tends to bring me back to (more) neutral somehow, I've been so anxious and depressed lately and I think you kinda guided me out of that a little (I hope so at least...) 💕💓

[@Liv-sj9qt]

It’s amazing how far you’ve come!!! I see your personality came back girly! I watched u while deep in my Ed and it helped so much!! Thank you

[@Predinse]

I love the way that you talk through what you're thinking as your eating and your friends supporting you.

[@Megan-be2dp]

Love you Ro for inspiring a lot of us to do better

[@RoMitchell]

🥺 oh my gosh, this makes me happy

[@seraphiim27]

i can't even explain how proud of you i am. I kind of lost your channel for about a year because life dragged me through the dirt for a bit, but now that i finally found it again, i can see your mentality has evolved so beautifully. you are such an inspiration to all of us who want to recover! Love you Ro

[@Blue70712]

I have been recovering from anorexia for a few months now. Recently I have found myself on the edge to relapsing. You make want to continue recovering. If you can do this, I can too. I'm really proud of how far you've come, it's amazing!💕

[@ceciliarenne]

i swear she just has the most beautiful soul

[@SM-gy5wv]

i sort of started my recovery around the same time as you and can really feel everything that you say and it's so relieving that im not alone in my victories and lows:) i ate a breakfast at mcdonald's recently and it felt so nice, literally a piece of my childhood.

I love your connection to your parents, you talk through emotions together and they are very supportive. I think a connection with your parents where you feel safe and comfortable to share your thoughts and emotions so easily is quite rare, and very healthy. And I hope you are really proud of yourself for all the hard work you have put in! Healing is tough

I have been following you for a while now, and it's amazing to see how far you've come. Luckily, I don't suffer from anorexia myself, but weight has always been something that I'm conscious about. Your attitude towards yourself has also influenced me to look different at my own thought patterns and to appreciate and love my body much more. When I saw the design of your shirt/hoodie it immediately touched me, it's such a beautiful message and also a beautiful cause. I cannot wait to wear your t-shirt with pride. Keep on doing what you're doing! Lots of love from the Netherlands.

[@gabriellebadowski4712]
