i hope you got something from this and even if you don’t struggle, i hope it was educational and helpful somehow. i love u v much. take care xxxxx
hi friends, 2 things to say:
● the fundraiser t-shirt I designed is available for 6 more days!! the link is here to purchase: everpress.com/rorecovering-beat-fundraiser
● I know I said some things didn't work certain ways for 'most people' but for some people it DOES work that way and its absolutely fine - it's not a reflection on how unwell you are, so sorry if it came across that way xxxx
Please make a video about dealing with a loved one with an ed, maybe ask your brother and parents - kind of struggling with the fact that there is no effort made at the other side and the person just doesnt want to get better (it is really hard to support, try to help while feeling completely useless…)
Hope it makes sense:)
Just ordered, cant wait!
just ordered !!
You are glowing! Your skin is so hydrated and beautiful. Keep up the hard work!
Would you recommend ordering your normal size with it being oversized? I don't want it to be fitted x
When it comes to eating disorder recovery comments I don't think there should ever be a "wow u gained so much weight" it should be "your eyes look brighter, your skin looks better, your hair looks healthier and you look happier"
yes yes yes to this
honestly, i wouldn’t use an adjective which compare the current moment to the previous one. i would rather hear « your skin looks good » than « your skin looks better » because it still implies that there is change if that makes any sense
@@clarabrgot1102 yeah I get what u mean!
@@clarabrgot1102 that's a good point I hadn't thought about. I suppose it depends on the person and if they want to see the change or if someone doesn't want to make a big deal about it
I’m dreading people’s comments already 😣 People have been commenting on my body a lot now it’s getting hotter & I need to get good at setting boundaries with this. Some days I do, others I just feel uncomfortable & just hope they’ll stop. It’s like can we not 😭 Theres so much more to us than how we look! & it’s possible to “look good” and feel dead inside… so it really means fuck all. Okay rant over 😭 Sending love to anyone reading this, your beautiful soul is all I see & that doesn’t change like appearances ❤️
“You’re not supposed to fit your clothes, your clothes are supposed to fit you” 😌🥺
And when they don't, you buy new ones so fuck that!
Last week I saw a friend/coworker I hadn't seen since before the pandemic (I started recovery during the pandemic) one of the first things I said was something like "Yeah I know I gained weight"... he answered "you overestimate how much attention I pay" And that was sooo eye-opening
I want a friend like your's lol
I’m 14 recovering from anorexia and you were one of the reasons I chose real recovery, thank you for inspiring me and so many people you have come so far and are inspiring people like me to take each bite at a time and that we will get better it won’t happen overnight but we will be happy and healthy again. You are amazing and we got this 👍 We can tell anorexia to do one xxx💪💛
sending u love! u got this little one 💕💕💕
@@RoMitchell cute
Good for you!
so so proud of you
i’m 14 years old and i started to slip into an ed. i stoped eating and got terrible signs that i was becoming unhealthy. i found you off of tiktok and i binged all of your videos. you inspired me to start eating again. you helped me so much and i can not thank you enjoy!
sooo joyful that you are taking your life back! keep fighting, u got this xxxx
@@samantharobinson7684 I'm sorry if this sounds rude but please don't mention weight under an anorexia recovery video
i can’t believe it’s 6 months already- you’re incredible and so so inspirational
I feel more like "what, only 6 months?" Ro came along so incredibly far for such a short period of time!
reminder : you wouldn’t invalidate ro for being a “healthy” bmi so don’t do it to yourself ❤️ you don’t need to make excuses or prove yourself to improve your life 💪💪💪
FACTS !!!!
I really like the phrase: “your body is an instrument, not an ornament”.
Your journey has been so inspiring to witness, Ro, and your level of insight and thoughtfulness is quite unique - and much needed - in the recovery space!
Also, if any of the psychologists I’ve had over the years had approached the topic of recovery the same way you did in this video, I think it’s possible I would also be in recovery now ❤️
dont waste any more of your beautiful and valuable life w this shitty illness. you deserve so much more. you've got this xxxx
"You are not meant to fit your clothes, they are meant to fit you"!!!(love that)❤️
After following your story and being completely inspired by your determination, I told my mum today that I was suffering with an eating disorder after years of hiding it and being consumed. Today is the start of getting back my life 💛 thank you for showing me it's possible 🌻 xx
Good luck girl! Wish you all the best
You are so strong, don't give up 😘
@@rms3062 thank you so so much! 💛
@@claraa794 Appreciate it so much, thank you ❤ xx
@@meganw4223 if you ever need someone to talk to, hit me up:)
you’re not only so fucking gorgeous (i really do mean it) on the outside but also so beautiful on the inside. kind, smart, brave, funny, intelligent, encouraging, supportive, strong&& so much more and i can say that without actually really knowing you. wow, the people around you are so lucky to have someone like you!! you deserve tons of happiness
oh my goodness u just warmed my heart
I didn’t hesitate twice when you said this is your sign to delete your calorie tracking app, and did it. I want to thank you, I started my journey the same time you did. Now reading my journal back then it breaks my heart seeing how exhausted, sad and hungry I was! But I’m so blessed I been so strong and getting where I am now all by myself. I’m hopeful for the future xx
you’ve done the right thing and i’m proud of you xxxxxxxx
RO? are u kidding me? you're an absolute *ROCKSTAR, the biggest WARRIOR* - you are so fucking strong! ignore every setback, every bad/anorexic thought and say "NO. i want my life back!" you are powerful enough to beat every hard struggle, every difficult life lesson, we believe in you. you are BEAMING, you are GLOWING, you are STUNNING! don't you ever think otherwise 'bout yourself. i wish i knew you irl and could tell you how much you helped me (i don't have ED, but depression & anxiety) you can't even imagine how much we love you. can't express this gratitude by words enough. you have a purpose here and this is it- to help other people and be a motivating QUEEN. you're gonna smash these battles! don't give up, we are here for you sweetheart ♥
PS: thinking of you on this v hard day for you. i've been struggling too. we GOT this together! :) sending loong hugs xxxxxx
So much wisdom for a 19 year old.
Your honesty with yourself and your ability to slow down and self-reflect is truly inspiring.
I hope you find the happiness you’ve been sharing, and I have no doubt you’ll find it with your strength. Just be patient with yourself xx
also guys, if you feel heavy or your stomach hurts after eating, it feels really really good to lie on your left side after, so your body can process the food better :) it's really good for tummy and v comforting, try it :)
Thank you 😊
Omg, thank you so much, I only just started recovering and this has been a big problem for me
@@xbexxie1223 hope it helped! xx
omg thank you
Ty
I love listening to you. It just feels calming and safe idk
sending you love 🤎
I've just loved seeing the change in your perspective of what you "can" do - you're constantly growing and realising that there truly are no limits to what you can accomplish and it's incredible, inspiring and downright flipping amazing xxxx
ah thank you xxxxx
As silly as it sounds, you even sound so much clearer and better like you’ve just gained back your spirit and your personality 💕💕💕 so proud, well done xxxxxx
I am so so proud of you! You are actually glowing. Looking back at your older videos you didn't smile as much when you talked and in this video, you could see how proud of yourself you are!
eeeeek thank u :,)
I've been struggling with anorexia for well over five years now. And for the longest time, I've put off recovery simply because I was scared of losing what I had "worked" so hard for. I was miserable of course, lying to myself and glorifying my exploited body. The thing that finally convinced me to take that step and start my recovery was discovering your videos. I still have a long way to go, but I can actually see myself doing it for the first time in forever. And I absolutely have you to thank for. You were the role model I didn't know I needed. Hearing you talk about your experience made me feel heard and validated, something I hadn't really experienced before. You are a truly wonderful person.
P.S.: We WILL beat this!
Go girl ! I bet ou will manage to beat it, eventually !
I've been in recovery for two years and am still struggeling, but your videos have seriously helped me. They way you talk about anorexia and your own journey is so inspiring, and it honestly gives me the motivation boost that I myself need. 🧡
I've seen light come into your eyes over these months, you look so much happier. I'm so proud of you ❤️
You've really helped me in my recovery xx
You can do this! I wish you all the best
@@notflorette4833 thank you ❤️
A few years ago I suffered from an ED. I thought I was completely heald until I watched your videos and realized I still have fear foods. Today I challenged myself and ate some oreos for the first time in more than 5 years !!! Thank you so much for putting this content online, it's very helpful to see someone going through the same thing I used to. I wish you a great recovery, you deserve the best. Sending you lots of love from France ❤️❤️❤️
Dear Ro
This is the first time I've ever commented on a youtube video, and you may never ever get around to seeing this, but I just wanted to thank you for what you do. For the past 3 months I've been trying to recover from anorexia, and your videos have helped me so much throughout my journey. Every video you post has saved me from relapsing back to where I was, on the brink of death, and have instead filled me with inspiration and motivation to get better and get my life back. You are an incredible human being ❤
I saw it! I am so proud of you for fighting. Keep on going, you're a star xxxxx
I’m 14 and have been in recovery for one month. You are so inspirational and I remember watching your videos on my first day of eating on a meal plan and you really helped me to understand why I need to eat and you have made it easier at meal times because I always think: “What would Ro say?”. Thank you so much, you are doing so well and I think you are amazing
You are so perceptive and well-spoken. You're helping so many people with your content 💕
thank you 🤎🤎
i am so insanely proud of you. you have come so far and it just literally makes me wanna cry happy tears when i think about how strong you are. i’m 17 and also recovering, and i love sitting down and eating a snack with you, or challenging stuff with you, it just makes it ten times easier because it’s like i have a bestie who knows exactly what it’s like going through this. you are having a such a positive impact on literally THOUSANDS of people and it’s just so crazy how happy you make people. sending a thousand hugs and lots of love, you deserve the world and more !! keep pushing forward beautiful
yesterday was my first day of official recovery and i’m so terrified, but you have given me so much courage and i wish i had your strength! thank you, Ro ❤️
You'll get this! I belive in you ❤️✨
You got this. Recovery is hard but it is worth it. You deserve it. Best of luck
Wishing you the best, you can definitely beat this 💙
all of you are so incredibly sweet, thank you so so much!
imma just say it, Ro is the best thing that’s happened to the internet in a while
Your videos help me unimaginable amounts, 8 minutes into the video I decided to get myself something to eat after not eating breakfast or lunch. Your videos help me so much when I'm having a bad day Ro, ty :)
nourish ur bod bby!!! it deserves it & so do you xxxxx
You helped me really realize my disordered eating. I subconsciously knew I had a problem, but I didn't full-on realize or accept it until I got into watching your channel. I used to only eat one small meal a day and not until the evening and I thought that was normal enough. I haven't quite reached the three meal/three snack system you have but I've definitely improved.
I don’t have an eating disorder and have never struggled with body image or my relationship with food, BUT I have experienced a whole host of other mental illnesses, and the way you talk about your experience and the mindset you have towards them inspires me and gives me so much confidence in myself. You seem so much healthier and stronger both mentally and physically and it makes me so happy to see how far you’ve come in only 6 months. Nothing but support and good vibes from me 🥰
I just recently have started feeling like I'm relapsing after finally reaching a healthy weight, but this video really inspired me to get back on track. Thank you so much Ro!
yum u deserve that snack !!! proud of you
i’m so proud of you ❤️
RO, I cannot thank you enough for being such an inspiration to me. You should be SO PROUD of yourself for how far you have come. I started my own channel to document my ED recovery journey a few months ago, and you have been a great role model for me. You are so strong, wonderful and truly an amazing person. Thank you for being you and I wish you all the best in the future. We are ALL HERE supporting you ❤️💪
And we are here for you Maddie ☺️
Maddie you have helped me as well. I am starting to accept my body and listen to my hunger signals
You too are an inspiration Maddie. Both you are Ro are so open and honest.
Congrats Ro! You deserve everything you’ve achieved. You are a beautiful person, inside and out.
:,) thank you
I recently opened up to my fam about my ed and started therapy. I want to thank you tbh. Im scared but I truly believe you helped me build up the courage to do so
you should be SOO proud of yourself. keep fighting, sending a loong hug xxxx
I recently had to open up to my staff about it in college, I was so uncomfortable doing it but they had to find out why I was fainting so much this year
We are so proud of you !! You are so strong and we all love you ❤️
YOU'RE INSPIRING ME EVERY DAY RO! I LOVE U SO MUCH DONT EVER GIVE UP
I wanted an update so bad. Thanks Ro! I'm glad to hear how u are doing (:
You inspire me so much and help me and make me feel so much better. You’re amazing

I'm so happy for you and proud of you. You're so bright
The strength you have, helps to build my strength! Ily x ❤️❤️💕
you’re incredible and i’m very proud of you ❤️ keep fighting!
You're the most beautifull human being! Sending lot's of love
You’re truly amazing that’s Ro. Well done you and thanks for sharing your journey and even if you don’t know it you’re helping so many with their own journey and don’t take that as pressure on yourself! It is simply saying you provide inspiration to carry on
So proud of you and sending you so much love ❤️
honestly you are so amazing and I am so proud of you!! thank you so much for being you, you have helped me in my journey sm!!💕💕💕
I love you so much thank you for your incredible spirit. you’re a gift to everyone around you and you’ve helped me tons. It’s hard but it is worth it. Your self positivity is so helpful and such a good example. I know you won’t always feel positive but know how much good you are doing for yourself and so many others ❤️❤️
Ro, I would love you to do a video for parents. You have helped me to understand what my daughter is going through, especially when she couldn't talk about it. It's a bit easier now as she is recovering and opening up.Hearing your mum in your video is great and what a wonderful support she is to you. Well done, you are brilliant.
thank you ro for sharing this part of your life and inspiring and helping others🤍
you’re an inspiration!! i’m so so proud of you and you’re so strong! you are glowing in this video, btw :)
10 plus years in recovery here - and I resonate with everything you are saying here. You’re doing awesome - keep going; it gets even better!
I’ve commented already but…. this is intelligent recovery, my heart swells to hear how you process and challenge your negative thoughts…
We're rooting for you, Ro! 🥰
You've come so far, and its amazing!! Thank you so much for deciding to be such an inspiration to people struggling with this bit! You really are helping people, and helping yourself! ❤
Aww great to see you Ro, wow can't believe I've been following you for 6 months. Kudos to you for sticking at your recovery journey for this long so far. You're truly inspiring and such a responsible example for others. Your channel is a lovely safe place and your vlogs so calming, reassuring and encouraging.... Bless you. A beautiful, powerful soul ❤️
your skin and hair look SO incredibly healthy!!! you’re doing wonderfully. you have got this. 💗💗
Forever grateful for you and your content. What a breathe of fresh air in the 'recovery' community. Thank you for being so honest and true to who you are and what you stand for. Always had faith you'd get here and i'm sure we all have faith that you will get to where you want to be
i’m so proud of u darling ur such an inspiration
I needed to watch this. Ugh you got the the “am I happy” section, and I’m in tears. It is nice to hear someone else you those words. I have been feeling so stuck and unhappy and have been trying to hide it and it’s hard. You gave me a moment of a break today when I could hear you and relate to what you feel. THANK YOU.
So incredibly proud of you to see how far you've come. Being on a similar journey, your videos have helped me so so much. Literally, I remember one time I was going to restrict myself after feeling a lot of guilt but after watching one of your videos it pushed me not to do so. Sending lots of love xx
I really needed this today, thank you so so much! Had such a rough night last night and Ive been struggling a fair bit today too. You’re doing incredible and you inspired me to go all-in, i apply the all-in concept to not only eating but my other struggles and its going good. I cant deny that some days at so tough. But its always better then what things were like before x such an inspiration! X
I’m so proud of you RO you have come a long way you deserve all the self care and love
been following your journey since the beginning, i am so so proud of you. WELL DONE RO xxx
" Think of your body like a friend" Wow. That really hit me. Keep going Ro 💞
You look so healthy and happy!! I’m so so proud of you Ro! 💘💘
Truly your skin is glowing, I’m so happy for you!
I'm so so proud of you!!! I also want to give you a huge thanks for sharing your journey with us. I've been struggling with anorexia for 10 years and I have fake recovered so many times. I was relapsing pretty bad when I first found your channel but something made me stay and I kept watching every new video. I found that you sharing your journey actually made me want to recover for real this time, and I kinda felt like it was now or never. So I decided to do my best to get my life back. I don't think you understand how much you've actully helped me. I felt so alone and miserable but when I found you I suddenly had someone I could relate to. You challenging yourself also inspired me to challenge my own fear foods and rules. Thanks for being a recovery buddy. I wish for all of us to be completely free someday
you've got this! keep going xxx
So utterly brave and inspirational. Darling you’ve got. This, life. Is there for you. For whatever you dream. You will get there ❤️
Cryinggg 😭 I’ve absolutely loved watching your journey! I love you girl keep pushing ❤️❤️❤️
you are honestly just amazing, watching you from the beginning and seeing how you've grown is genuinely so inspiring to me and so many others - thank you for always being open and honest. so proud of you 🥰 keep on going angel, we've all got your back 💕
I love how raw and honest you are about your recovery. It's made me consider speaking up and getting help. You're such an inspiring, strong, person and you don't know how much you've helped all your viewer's
Ro, your happy cloud shirt is so so lovely and I love that color of blue it looks so gentle and gives nice happy vibes. It is good to hear from you and I am happy for you on your journey. You can do this!
I'm so happy for you Ro. You've done such a good job trying your hardest to heal and get your old life back.
Keep it up. Hopefully your videos motivate other people and help them overcome this horrible disease.
Lots of love! 😘😘
Omg i am absolutely proud of u gorgeous. You look beautiful, glowing, amazing but most importantly you look alive. I am proud of you for choosing to recover and i hope with you’re platform you are able to touch many people who are in a very rough situation when it comes to food or exercise. You have such a powerful voice and I hope that this community will continue to grow more. Love u pretty. xx
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences, thoughts and feelings Ro. ❤️ I felt super safe throughout the whole video. ❤️
Thank you so so so much for helping me with my recovery and putting your recovery out there. You have helped a lot of people and without you, I would’ve never considered it. Now I’d say I’m so close to full recovery. But also remember, take it easy and love you so much
I'm really proud of you and I admire your strength, seeing you eating those fear foos that I have till this day made me really rethink my choices in life, you have inspired me and many people! Thank you for existing 💓
You're such an inspiration Ro and we're all so proud of you!! xxxxxx
I can’t tell you how much you have been a help in my own recovery. I’ve been in “recovery” for a year now. But it was only today that I feel like I’ve had a break through. I’m going to fight and I’m going to recover. You’re content shows me that it’s possible to make progress and I’m so grateful for that.
You’re so incredibly strong and inspiring ❤️ thank you so much for making these videos.
It’s helping me get through working on my binge eating and having a relationship with food ❤️
I am so proud of how far you’ve come. You are a fighter and a true inspiration for me to keep going 💗
You’ve come so far and I’m so proud of you! I can’t wait to see where you are in another 6 months 🥰
I was there six months ago, and I'm there now, watching this video. I will never be able to tell you in words how proud I am, I'm so proud of you. And saw you blooming during this months was a gift. We love you Ro
Your parents are really amazing. Your mum especially pushing you along. Her encouragement from the background is one of my favourite things in your videos. Your parents are the best cheer squad.
This is seriously one of my favorite videos you've done. I needed every bit of this
I needed to see this video, I have been struggling with loving myself and putting on weight. I have issues with accepting weight gain, it's hard but this video encourages me to do better💕. Thank you and congratulations on your accomplishments, you are amazing!!😊
i can't wait to see it go from "rorecovering" to "rorecovered"
Ah Ro.. you are incredible. Thank you for your honesty about now having to face the things anorexia has blocked out. So proud of how far you've come. Also feeling so protective when hearing about those vindictive comments. You're wonderful. Be well.
you're doing absolutely amazing, 6 months in recovery is a brilliant milestone, congratulations sweet!
I am so proud of you. You got this 💜
I've been recovering from anorexia in my own for about a month. My days have been really hard lately and yesterday i almost gave up, but this video helped me to realise that is not the right thing to do. Thank you so much Ro! We're so so proud of you and we love u
Thank you so much, I don't have an eating disorder, but I'm a teacher and working with teens, you're bound to see a kid struggle with this. Thank you for sharing your perspective. Hopefully you'll inspire and motivate many struggling with this to get better 💚
ro, im so proud of you!
So so proud of you, you’re one of the strongest people and i’m so excited for you to continue growing and flourishing into the best version of yourself.
