Eugenia Cooney - glamorizing anorexia?

But at least she didn't profess to be a "health coach" like this horrifyingly disordered woman. I'd encourage others to report her for "self harm."

I hope she's getting help.

When I saw this thread bumped, I thought... "so she finally died?"

I hope she's getting help. This video breaks down her parents. She's an adult but lives with them, and there's clearly an unhealthy enabling dynamic going on. At one point her dad says "happy birthday. you look good - you look 14." Her upper arm these days appears to be the diameter of my thumb.

Her dad is creepy & her mom is a total weirdo.... it's no wonder she seeks refuge with things like Bratz dolls & Disney princesses.

Please report her AND her youtube channel.

She isn't just some random anorexic woman on social media. She's claiming to be a "health coach" and dishing out diet and lifestyle advice - but is very clearly disordered. It's messed up.

I support veganism (though not vegan myself), and there are certainly healthy ways to go about a plant based lifestyle. Whatever she's doing or advocating, isn't it. At all. Not even close.

Shane Dawson caught up with Eugenia - she's out of rehab and doing pretty well. She looks radiant, and confirms she was dealing with an eating disorder. This was beautiful to watch. I hope she soars on her recovery, and also inspires others to get help!

Wow. I was not expecting this update. Good for her.

Thank you for posting. I watched the whole thing. I only learned about her from DCUM a while back and was so horrified. This was a really touching interview or documentary or whatever it is. Aside from Shane doing everything he was told NOT to do or ask, you could tell his intentions were good and he was able to get her to open up in a way she had clearly never done before. I was most surprised by how unaware Eugenia was of how bad she had gotten. I do believe she didn’t see it. I hope she continues to stay on the the path of recovery and that she hasn’t done too much permanent damage.

It is really hard to know how much she has recovered as we only see her face and she is wearing bulky clothing. My feeling is that it is too soon for her to be back under the microscope of the public. She has a deeply entrenched eating disorder, a dysfunctional family, and still lacks maturity / awareness of her health and condition. I get that she is the family breadwinner but I think this was too soon. I am not sure she has really moved all that far into recovery.

Her face does look fuller.

He thighs (glimpses in the shane video) also look a bit fuller. It's only been 6 months, so it's hard to say if her recovery will be successful. I think it's also very dangerous for a severely ill anorexic person to just suddenly eat a lot of food- slow and steady is much less risky. It's obvious her home dynamic is severely dysfunctional, but she seems to possess a lot more self awareness now - and talking about it. These are good things. Hopefully she continues the mental, as well as physical progress.

Yeah, I feel like her situation makes her a prime candidate for relapse or sliding into another eating disorder or unhealthy behavior.

You are correct, but if you watch the full video, this is discussed. She was at an in patient facility, being closely monitored by professionals. She mentioned the health risks of reintroducing food too quickly or without professional oversight.

I don't know much about her but had seen Shane's video was trending last week and ended up watching the whole thing. Was initially happy for her but saw that her former friends who had called for her to be taken to a facility to get care had made a video saying how there's stuff she's hiding, her mom is controlling and manipulative, and that she's actually not recovering. I believe it. In Shane's video, nothing seemed to be answered and most of it was just filler. Also, with her lawyer there and her not even knowing how to open her own door? Fishy.

I just watched that video you're talking about - Jacqlyn (sp?) Glenn. And a few others. It's not clear to me if her parents live in LA with her or in CT and they visit. But she needs to get away from them.
