These videos are so self-indulgent. If you're going to record something like this just admit you made a mistake (eating disorder etc.) so at least others can learn something from it.
Did anyone else see that she was watching Fox News on the elliptical screen?
sadly. I did. I am going with --maybe she was watching it ironically.
I'm mostly liberal, but I sometimes end up on Fox News searching for specific, non-political stories. Just last night I searched base jumping accident in Moab and ended up on Fox News L.A.
Unfortunately, it's entirely possible that she'll never recover. Long term eating disorders (particularly when they occur during development years) can have serious and lasting health effects, even when people are no longer running chronic calorie deficits.
If I were a betting man, I wouldn't put any money on her becoming a national level athlete again, though I sincerely hope I'm wrong. She was a tough racer, and she's showing a lot of toughness by not quitting now. She certainly doesn't deserve mockery or scorn because of her struggles.
I agree. Also, I mean, the way she talks about obsessively "needing" to run, coupled with the ongoing weird excessive childish persona (age regression), are just concerning types of behavior that are the sorts of behavior you see with people with eating disorders. It would be positive if she could move on from that. If she would show signs of maturity, including being less compulsive about needing to run, I'd give her a better shot at becoming a national level athlete again. As it is, I'm not sure how positive it is that she has chosen to continue to try and run for a career given the associated psychological issues she's had and seems to still has with it.

What you describe as childish persona looks more to me like how she was raised and her parents' persona. I get the sense that her dad is like that, a happy, fun personality with his family. I don't see it as a negative.

I wouldn't say that she talks about obsessively "needing" to run. You just have to consider that this injury happened at the worst time possible- shortly before her goal race. Also, running is literally her job, of course she "needs" to run. But most of all, I think she just really loves running a lot. Have you ever seen how excited she gets when she gets to run? I am really rooting for Allie and hope it is just a small setback which can be fixed quickly.
And if not, who knows, she probably could be a great cross country skier, this Achilles guy could give her advice.
