Let’s make lunch #shorts

[NutritionByKylie]

This is actually the first time I’ve publicly talked about my history of ED, OCD, and emetophobia. I always refrained from talking about this for a few reasons:

1. It took me a long time to process everything. Learning about nutritional science and the effect of malnutrition on the human body in school made me reconsider the perspective I had on my own health and relationship with food as a child. As I mentioned, the recovery process was really difficult and it took me many years to come to terms with it.

2. Since my case was more complex, I never knew how to explain everything in a concise manner. There’s a lot that I left out, but I think that this video did an okay job at summarizing the main points!

3. I didn’t want people to make assumptions about my health and relationship with food now. I am fully recovered from my ED and have been for over 10 years! Whenever I have to avoid a food now, it’s solely because of my IBS (which may actually be one of the long-term consequences of my ED 🥲)

wow she went from a serious ed and childhood trauma to being genuinely excited about food and sharing her story with people on the internet
that’s some serious bravery and such an encouragement to so many people!!

i love this message and you! i have struggled for a decade with an eating disorder. i’m recovering but i have a lot of GI problems because of it. your videos are so comforting in a way that i can’t explain!

Dietitian/nutritionists are unsung heroes. I was at 111kg and having bad sleep apnea. I was diagnosed with prediabetes and I balled! A nutritionist taught me how to eat right. It saved my life. I have lost 11kg now and most of it is due to the diet

ARFID!!! It’s ARFID! Added to the books in 2013. Emetophobia picky eating afraid of food ocd it’s all ARFID. Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder. Has lots of the same traits as anorexia nervosa but WITHOUT the body dysmorphia. “New” ED. I’m glad you found help!

Becoming someone who once saved your life is so amazing to me. My cousin got saved by plastic surgeons because she got set on fire when she was two, now she's finishing school to be a plastic surgeon too. I never really talked to her in my life but I adore what she's doing

My anxiety used to give me SEVERE nausea. I would get so upset at every meal sometimes to the point of tears as I couldn’t eat. Finally I got put on medication ❤️

[Aurorya]

Emetophobia is so common but rarely talked about ! I have it too, the only thing that mase it less worse was actually vomiting (and see it's not that bad, you won't die or choke from it), and taking anti depressant meds

[jessicalynnviola]

Omg can you please talk more about your emetophobia? It is one of the most common phobias but the least talked about. I have been suffering for years and it is so nice to see you thriving it gives me hope that I can recover.

I don’t know why, but this made me tear up. And I don’t tear up easily… just something about you overcoming trauma and enjoying life again is so beautiful and refreshing. Good for you girl! You look amazing

[itsm]

Wow I deal with emetophobia and I’ve been feeling so alone because no one understands. I am really encouraged to see you open up and be brave sharing. I would love to hear more about your journey!

[cindydice]

I am literally crying so hard right now. I just want to thank you for being so open about your struggle with emetophobia and OCD. I, too, struggled with both along with anxiety and depression, got better, but relapsed during the pandemic. I am in the process of trying to get better to how I was pre-pandemic, but it’s been very difficult. Hearing your story gives me hope that I’ll overcome my eating disorder, too. If I did it once in the past, I can do it again.
Your other videos are amazing as well! I love how you encourage others to have a healthy relationship with food 🤗

[ericaluna]

Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m so happy you recovered and now you can help others too.

[nicolemelo]

I too have emetophobia, it's seriously crippling and it's not talked about enough. Thank you so much!

[AfroDysiaque]

I would have never guess that you had an Ed because you seems extremely confortable around it, I am glad you have an excellent relationship with food now ! I suffer of anorexia in my teenage phase and I know how extremely difficult it is to suffer of an eating disorder I hope everyone who suffer from it will find the strength to eliminate this pain of their lives because it’s an 100 % possible I swear I am in a better place with my relation with food I eat everything i like (processed food in moderation)

[maryjobaham]

You and your story gives me so much hope. My daughter is a recovering anorexic and has been doing really well but she still struggles causing me constant worry. I can't wait to get your book so we can modify it for our gluten free soy free home!

[siennakatalin]

heading that you had OCD and emetophobia, made me feel so much more comfortable and less alone. I also have OCD and emetophobia and it helps me to hear about your stories to then use what may have helped you to help myself thank you for sharing this <33

I was the exact opposite. I grew up as a non-picky eater, who absolutely loved food. Which grew into a full-blown eating disorder. I developed a full-blown addiction to food, and I couldn’t stop myself or control myself around food. It got to the point where I was stealing food and lying to eat food. I had a full blown binge eating disorder, and it was really bad. To be honest, food is a double edged sword. It can be so beautiful and can power a person to do incredible things. It can also kill and destroy a person. With its powerful fear/addictiveness. But it is vital for our existence, and for all the wonderful things that we do in life. It’s always possible to recover from an eating disorder. There’s always a silver lining, and there’s always a rainbow at the end of the storm. Don’t ever give up!!❤❤❤

Not sure why but this made me cry. I don’t have an ED but I’ve struggled with OCD since I was 7 and I’m 22 now. It feels validating to see others going through similar struggles and makes me feel less alone.

[DizzyDior]

Poor baby Kylie!! I went through a time where I had this intense fear of choking and eating was so hard. I didn't have help and only got yelled at. I'm glad you're here to help people. ❤
