What Your Eating Disorder isn't Telling You | Recovery Motivation

[@georgiaf6504]

i come back and watch this video every single time my ED thoughts are really "loud" and i feel like i'm close to relapsing. when its super hard and i'm really down, watching this video and reminding myself of these things makes it a little easier, thank you.

[@iinapiina]

This video is super motivating, no rambling, no exaggerating, just the very poverful facts presented with visible honesty, love and passion to help other people.

[@sirenlucy932]

My eating disorder has been a coping mechanism for me. My behavior was me trying to cope with all the stressful things and difficulties in my life. If you are serious about recovery you need to find other strategies, healthier ways to deal with your problems. That can be a very scary thing to learn. I had to learn that too and it wasn’t easy but so necessary. I mean if you spend all day worrying about your body, food, appearance etc. you won’t think about other things in your life, important things. I noticed that with myself. My entire life was occupied and taking over by counting calories/ overeating. It totally consumed me. To all the people out there struggling with an eating disorder: Remember you are here for a reason. You deserve to take up space. You deserve to be happy. You are worthy. You deserve to be treated with respect. Standing up for yourself and taking care of your needs and your wellbeing doesn’t make you selfish. It’s fine, healthy and normal. You are unique. You are loved. Good luck 🍀👍🏻 to all of you recovering. Lots of Love 💕

Thank you

[@jessx306]

Thank you for mentioning that size does not determine how sick you are! That's something I struggle with & it's important to know there is no single mold for an ED.

[@LydiasFight]

+jessx306 there definitely isn't!

Thank you so much I’m a male that is 28 and I suffer from a eating disorder building my relationship back with food is probably the hardest thing I’ve have done but I’m doing this for my wife most of all for me

[@mi14472]

I really needed this right now. I'm on home leave from hospital and I've been struggling but this made me feel better, thank you ❤️

[@elaineringelmann9812]

This video made me cry so much. I just can't choose between staying sick and ruin my life or finally start taking care of me. I hate it so much but it also gives me so much and i just don't think i could beat it after 3 months hospital and nothings chanted. I'm so hopeless but you're video gave me some hope back. Please keep doing what you do and help people like me you're so great. Thank you

[@LydiasFight]

aw girl i know how hard it is! you are so strong and are able to fight it and beat it! things will get better

[@sarahflick1078]

I am still recovering, but I have gotten into a horrible binging cycle. I never ever purge or throw up, but I have started binging a lot at night and during the day and then trying to restrict. The binges are scary and HUGE. My stomach is disgusting and I hte myself! :(( It's hard to ever be happy when all I ever feel is a bloated balloon. Please please help me, thanks for making these videos Lydia!

[@MichelleParsick]

I know... I know how you feel...

[@LydiasFight]

Aw I am so sorry to hear this :( I know how incredibly hard that cycle is. I will definitely make a video about it this. I'm cheering for you girl!!

[@AngelFrost02]

Lydia's Fight Thank you so so much Lydia! I feel so special to know that you replied and will help me :) I am looking forward to that video because I truly need help to stop the insane binges and then restricting. Love you so much!

[@AngelFrost02]

Michelle Parsick Are you recovering as well? What stage are you at? I am near the end but just have this issue and the doctor still wants me to gain weight but it is so hard for me.

[@ellygreen244]

I'm not sick enough to have an eating disorder, and I'm too fat. So don't I deserve to listen to my head and loose the weight so I can be a healthy size and then if I still have the thoughts I'll have an eating disorder and get help. But I don't need help now. I'm too fat

[@emb4035]

Elly Green this is a little late but I just wanted to say that you are so loved and so much more than your body please remember that. If you need someone to talk to I’m always here and you have the whole world on your side 💜
