Oh Becky, as I shared in my comment on your last video, God is just speaking so loudly and clearly through you to me this week. I thank you so much for being vulnerable to share this deeply heartfelt message with us. I have the same passionate plea, yet also while I continue to struggle (43 years old, 15 years with anorexia and orthorexia). But God... Nothing is impossible with Him, and I praise Him for all the means He lovingly and omnisciently chooses to use to draw us to complete and total surrender to Him. I have renewed determination to fight. Sending SO much love to you. 🙏❤

Becky, Thank you for being so raw & vulnerable. I relate so very much to this video. Your message is vital to younger people with ED’s. I’m 68! Have had my ED since 15. Becky you have been an inspiration to me. Believe me, if you are a young person you need to act now. Don’t let your ED rule & ruin your life. There are consequences for being at war with your body for a considerable length of time. It is too late when the consequences are irreversible. Life is too short for regrets!

Thank you Becky for your honesty! It motivated me to go get something to eat even though it's late because i didn't eat enough. It's so easy to make the excuse that i will go to bed soon but i have to keep reminding myself to rewire my brain. I really appreciate your videos and they are helping me in my recovery. Thank you for your vulnerability and your willingness to keep persevering and but giving up on yourself and those that need your words of encouragement. 🤗

Thank you so so much for sharing this. Your videos have helped me so much and I just want to take the opportunity to thank you. I'm also almost 40 and started to take recovery really seriously. 25+ years with an ED and the mental and physical damage is undeniable. It brings me so much joy when I see younger people working on their recovery. Nobody should struggle with this their whole lives. Just remember, you are doing some amazing work in the recovery community❤

Oh Becky. I wish I could give you the Biggest hug. I struggle with the same issues and it has really affected my confidence having such a terrible memory in my 30’s. Often I lose my words mid-sentence. If I study my data/information retention is awful. It’s really tough. I’d love to study I just don’t know if I’d dare because of my cognitive issues. I’ve just been through an entire second puberty and the hormonal fluctuations have made my memory/cognition even worse! I do have quite a few side effects still from long term malnutrition- BUT this is the closest to recovery I’ve ever been and that is partially thanks to you. 💕 It’s okay to feel sad or frustrated about some aspects of recovery’ whilst simultaneously being grateful for all the other aspects of recovery. Sending you love and sunshine and a big hug. Xxx

Thank you for sharing that. I too struggled for 20 years. I've had horrible years, mediocres years and years when anorexia didn't take as much space but was still there (I have 2 children). I am 34 years old. Still not recovered, actually trying to pick myself up after giving birth. I very often forget words and have troubles talking. It wasn't the case before I was 14, when anorexia came to my life for the first time... I realize that I am not as mentally capable as I was when I was younger...

Sending a hug for you and thank you for this honest video. I have the same and never know if it’s from former ED (which I seem to blame everything for!) or my Mum said could also be peri / menopause because this happened to her because of the hormones at that time and she never had an ED. I don’t know which it is but my calendar and alarms are my saviour since age 40 onwards.

omg this made me cry. you're so right. there can be irreversible damage. I wanted to thank you for your videos, you're such an inspiration. you're one of the reasons I've come this far to my recovery. although I'm not fully recovered, I have achieved so much. I had osteopenia for a few years, after not having a period for 5 years and now, I did some tests and it's literally gone. I don't have it anymore. I know it's irrelevant with your video, but I wanted to mention it, because if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have achieved this.

I really needed to see this and will probably refer back to it. I've always been trying to lose weight since I was 8 and never really became disordered until 11 when I started purging. I'm 14 now about to start high school and much much worse and I don't want to live like this. My goal body is starting to become bmi 12-14 and I'll be wanting to be that one second then realizing this ed is killing me the next. Right now I'm in a healthy but lower end of healthy weight range so if I want to recover I have to now so I don't lose more weight then envy my pre weight gain body. I know I'll eventually have to gain for my build I am definitely underweight but for right now it's easier to think about maintaining and just eating more or even gaining then healthily losing as I try to build muscle. I recently was doing cardio and had very bad heart palpitations all in a row but pushed it because I wanted to reach 250 calories (I was at 230) my original goal was 300 but I knew I'd have a heart attack or something close if I did that much and it didn't hit me until later but I could've seriously damaged my heart with that. It's not normal to get heart palpitations or collapse (not faint) but just fall down when you get up. I'm not invincible. I will deal with this later. I've been so caught up thinking about how I'll be lighter tomorrow and how I need to lose today but I do NOT see myself maintaining my goal weight in the future, when I'm 30-40+. I'm only 14 and throwing away my quality of life away before I've even lived, I also could die. This is the first day I've actually taken recovery seriously and I decided to recover literally an hour and a half ago and I just ate a decent amount and this video really helped a lot. I have bulimia or ednos related to binging and purging so I can eat more than anorexics can off the bat and feel ok about it so I have a head start already!! I'll refer back to this when I need to and thank you.

Wow, this video hit me.. I was severely underweight for a few years and really close to death. I'm physically recovered now but I feel like I've irreversibly damaged my body and brain ? I googled it but I couldn't find out if that's actually really possible. All I ever read was that when you're underweight you can suffer from brain fog and have trouble concentrating etc. but that normal brain n function returns once you reach a normal weight. however, for me it feels like it didn't. I honestly really feel like anorexia made me stupid.
