I’m sick of people telling her not to post “the same types” of videos over and over. so what? it’s her channel, she can do exactly what she wants. If she wanted to do 100 days of eating toad in the hole then she could. Love you Elzani 🤘🏼🇬🇧

[@junelynch2729]

Head in the clouds well said 😊👍🏻

[@Ella-ps1lg]

exactly! She should post what helps her. Also, when she posts other kinds of videos the veiwing figures are SO much lower, so who are these people who want other things?

[@evi8378]

I love these types of videos bye her. Also very well said

[@Rojena]

I don’t understand why people are commenting on your physical appearance because that is a big trigger in recovery! I understand that they’re happy for you (as am I) but I think we should comment on how HAPPY Elzani seems in these past vlogs! If you truly are feeling better mentally, I am so happy for you and you really do deserve all the happiness in the world!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@princessladytanya]

Your mum has the patience of an angel, she's amazing.

[@nadiranahid5352]

Extreme hunger can be terrifying but respond to it! Your body is not trying to hurt you,more energy points for you 😊

[@SamLandedHere]

Totally need to respond to it, when we not later it is going to hit even harder, that is what happened with me

[@danaklamecki8820]

So much progress here Elzani! It seems that always before your mom drove to the store and accompanied you into the store to shop. Today you did it totally independently!!! You are so inspiring. You are proving you’ve got this recovery thing going well. Its wonderful to see you blossom.

[@MadisonTiahn]

When you are ready, do you think looking into volunteering or working would help you stop focusing on food all day? When I was sick, it was only when I got back into a “normal” routine which didn’t involve just eating and exercising that I started to improve. Proud of your determination. X

[@twayland6186]

That so true

[@bmmtns]

This is a good idea!

[@Slluggg]

Very true! I didn’t truely recover till I started getting back into school and sports and seeing friends

[@MadisonTiahn]

Ella I work full time, have a part time job and watch KZbin in my downtime. How do you know she has a job? If you mean this Ed KZbin is a job, I am not sure anyone would think that is good for her long term recovery. She posts these videos and it would be doing a disservice to never give any constructive criticism. Sending love. X

[@zoemma7665]

She has a part time job already as she has already stated

[@silverstar8342]

Really random but your hair looks gorgeous. It looks really shiny and healthy😍

[@larlutm]

It really does! I haven't watched a video from Elzani in awhile but happened to click here and my immediate thought was wow her hair looks amazing! It really has improved so much, super shiny and healthy like you said. Loads of other improvements too that I noticed actually, she's a far cry from the terrified and tormented girl I recall from around last xmas time, which I personally found really hard and upsetting to watch because it felt like her illness was just consuming her with little glimpses of the person fighting underneath. Now I feel like we're seeing more of the "real" Elzani, her cool quirks and actual life in her eyes. She's still fighting the illness obviously, but she seems to be controlling it way better than it's controlling her. Go her I say!

[@BLane-xr1ic]

Check out a few of her older videos. It warms your heart to see how much she has changed in just a few months.

[@junenovae]

Re-feeding often means extreme hunger and water retention. I'm glad to see you are able to understand that and consider it as a normal part of the process, a normal response of the body, cause it can be a very triggering time when the hunger kicks in and the body feels and looks different everyday because of the water retention. I can tell you (but I'm sure you know that already), as someone who got through this process twice, that these symptoms do go away. I felt like forever to me, but I finally got a normal appetite. You'll get there with all the amazing work and effort your are doing, I'm so impressed with how you are working through this process and the fact that each time you are able to push your limits when you feel like you are settling too much. Anyway, your videos are very inspiring to me, sometimes I forget how awful an eating disorder can be and I definitely do not want to go through that re-feeding process ever again in my life and watching your videos is a good reminder that it's not something I want to go through again. But also I love how your personality is showing more and more throughout the videos with your funny side coming thought and your relationship with your mother has evolved massively and is now more peaceful. In many ways I think your videos are so important and show exactly what it recovering can look /feel like.

[@labourerplop5034]

June Novae even a cup of water bloats my face and stomach story of my life

[@gilraenkat3762]

Elzani, this video totally shows your fierce determination! You should be so proud of yourself, and I am sure you will keep the momentum going! Your sense of humor is amazing. It was hysterical with you filmed that cute moment with Blaze on the welcome mat and then all of a sudden a biscuit got shoved into view!! 💕

[@ilikeyoutube836]

When your mom said "I'm not nervous, I'm just hungry" I thought that should actually be YOUR mantra Elzani. It's a good one 🙂

[@nadiranahid5352]

The bond between you and your sister seem to have improved. Proud of you elzani😊

[@brynne9926]

Can I just say it's absolutely beautiful to see your personality emerging more and more as you recover and restore? You are such a lovely person inside and out

[@ErastusSoverus]

Im so proud of your progress!!!! I subscribed a couple years ago after your first post. It had me worried for a long time and im glad i stayed to see youre amazing progress.

[@jennyli2623]

i'm so proud of how far you've come in your recovery journey! the difference between your first video and now is unreal! your personality is really showing

You have no idea how much i needed this video today!!! I have had the wirst day ever and wanted to go to sleep but at that exact moment i got the notification concerning your new vid. 🙌🏻🙌🏻😍😍😍 If there wasn‘t this video I woud‘ve fallen asleep so sad!! You inspire me so much !! Through ur vids I realized that Joy isn‘t defined by a certain look, body ideals, money, bla bla bla BUT PURE ENJOYMENT, which can only be achieved by LETTING GO 😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Laura-et2xj]

Your mom’s approach towards food is inspiring

[@nadiranahid5352]

The fact that you were watching TV whilst eating is amazing!! Improvements everywhere. You are a fighter

[@ottaviazwillenberg3168]

nadira nahid why is this an improvement?

[@nadiranahid5352]

@@ottaviazwillenberg3168 people with eating disorder find it very difficult to freely eat. they focus only on the food and rarely move their fixation from their plate

[@ottaviazwillenberg3168]

nadira nahid she’s always eaten by the tv even in her videos last year. I have anorexia so I do know how much of a focus one can take to food. If you look at her videos last year she always has biscuits/tea/ice cream while watching TV

[@KaterinaKardo]

nadira nahid kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXnQfnyuedyFh7M

[@jademusic1211]

Watching tv while eating isn't healthy. I have an eating disorder (35 years), and I've often engaged in *mindless eating* in front of the TV. Just because it is considered the norm, doesn't mean it's good for you. Eating should be an *experience* where you take the time to pay attention to, *enjoy* , and *savor* your food, not read a magazine, have conversations in the middle of eating or watch a movie. If Elzani were overweight or obese (which she definitely *isn't* ), people would be telling her to pay attention to what she eats so that she doesn't overdo it. Just because she *does* pay attention to what she eats most of the time, isn't necessarily a bad thing. She's come a long way. It's when you hyperfocus on your food and don't really enjoy it because you're worried about calories, fat, etc., that it becomes a problem.

[@AngelicasRecovery]

You’re so inspiring to me in my own recovery ♥️

[@kylafilm]

I’ve had extreme hunger before it was so scary but trust me it goes away eventually when u get better ❤️ Keep eating and much as u want your doing great 👍 👍

You are so brave! When I recovered I cried while eating. I’m so proud of you and I’m sure your parents are proud too

This is impressive! Your attitude is really truly recovery focused and I think you are finally in a place where you are truly committed and I take my hat off to you!

One of my favourite recovery channels. Not just the content but your will to fight is amazing. And your family are such a good family.. . Love mum shes wicked 🙂🙂. I got a long way to go so please keep these coming 🙏🏼

[@kelsm3292]

Your videos have kept me going on my recovery, my hair is beginning to thin rapidly because of my lack of nutrients and I know I need to recover myself but I keep finding myself relapsing to restrictive behaviors. Watching you gives me hope to keep pushing through recovery.

[@Abbie_TheGreenest]

*immediately runs to m&s to hunt down the cookie spread*

[@fangten]

I just watched your hospitalised with anorexia video and came across this one, I'm so happy seeing you getting better and healthier :)

[@Mina-uv9dt]

I remember when I had extreme hunger I was eating like the whole day constantly and mostly chocolates and desserts.Keep going and responding to it because it definitely becomes less and the bloating goes away too ❤️

[@Snickerdoods.x]

Some people develop permanent gastrointestinal issues as a result of their ED so it's really unknown whether or not the bloating will go away for sure.

[@Mina-uv9dt]

Gina Marie the bloating that occurs when we start eating proper amounts of food does go away because our bodies are not used to having that amount of food in.But yes the bloating due to conditions like ibs does stay.But in my case it has gone away and I’m still eating the same amount of food I was when I was recovering.

[@maxine9492]

Was just watching one of your older videos before this and I just wanted to say, and I sincerely hope this isn't triggering because I know how sometimes when people say something and they mean well it can be triggering for me, but you have gotten absolutely beautiful in recovery, it looks so good on you, yes the physical aspect but definitely the mental aspect of it as well. This change was obviously a very good one for you and I hope you continue to do so well and grow stronger and more beautiful every day.

Last time I watched your videos was when you first started. Let me TELL YOU. You’ve always been gorgeous but you are GLOWING in this video. Your true personality is coming out and it’s so lovely to see you be a genuine goof. In your old videos your personality seemed hollow but as you’ve nourished your mind and body as well as gotten support from everyone around you (including yourself), you’ve changed in such a positive way!!! Keep on keeping on. You should be so proud of yourself.

Extreme hunger is so normal, no worries. Your body needs energy! Cravings for certain foods when you are going through it can also mean your body wants the nutrients it provides you. Lots of love from us all to you!

You need to try Morrison’s own white chocolate hazelnut spread it’s quite new but it’s devine 😉 tastes like the inside of a kinder bueno it’s amazing just on its own, on toast and even better on crumpets 😍😍 I need to get my hands on the M&S one and give it a try!

Your amazing and such an inspiration 💖 My biggest issue in my recovery has been dealing the extreme bloated ness and pain that comes along with it. It has really set things back in my recovery. I’ve struggled with it for a while and I still doesn’t seem to be going away or getting any easier. Do you have any advice? X

[@ArtBySoup]

Hannah Black biggest advice would be to keep going, but also talk to your doctor about medications that help with bloating and pain (especially if it’s gastroparesis)

[@nadiranahid5352]

Try different types of tea and as weird as this sounds (it's affective),lay on your back and protrude your legs into the wall. Helps a lot

[@5p674]

I've watched a few of your videos and you've come a long way and are very insightful about your condition. But maybe, just maybe, it's time that you don't need the attention of your family and your channel...thousands of people, family and strangers, cheering you on...encouraging you to eat, preparing your meals, rewarding you for eating with compliments and love, etc. The best way you can thank all these people for their love and support is by being less needy. I do wish you good luck with your recovery.

[@i361x3]

I think people are capable of choosing themselves which videos they want to watch. Also why do you think she is needy and why would being "less needy" a way of thanking the people that watch her? I have so many questions 🤔
