Life without Anorexia

My motto is
'Dont let the sadness of your past & the fear of your future ruin the happiness of your present'

I am a generally happy girl who loves running, going to the gym and eating food!! Though my life has been very different.
I spent 5 years sick with anorexia nervosia & purging tendencies & over exercising. I was depressed and self harmed. I spent 2 years in different treatment centres.
After alot of struggles, lots of ups and downs, suicide attempts, tears, anxiety, panic and never thinking i would be healthy.
I am now declared healthy from anorexia nervosia.

I have been blogging for 4 years, and my whole journey is written in my posts. I now represent healthy and happiness. I want to show anyone struggling that it is possible to recover, no matter how hard it may seem.

I am happy and healthy and living my life. Going to school, meeting friends and trying to find myself in this world.

I write about my daily life, but also try to write posts about how it was when i was sick, advice and tips.
I am open and friendly, so dont be scared about writing a post or sending me an email at: [email protected]

Inspiring

Loooking at this picture, its made me realise something... Why am i so critical against myself?  When i stand up, and look in the mirror... my stomach is uauslly flat (unless im bloated or drank alot) and i have the beginning of abs (Yayayy!). But when i sit down... Tummy Rolls. Oh yess.... and its not plesant. It makes me feel fat, and it feels like, no matter how much i would work out or do crunches or whatever... no matter if i ran everyday... my tummy rolls would still be there. And you know why... Because everyone (maybe not everyone.... but a large procent does.). So i shouldntbe so critical and harsh against myself.
  I should accept my body... and you know what. Sitting now, looking at my tummy rolls (^_^) Ive realised that theres nothing to be ashamed of... im Skinny-fat!! haha

I am so amazed and proud of this girl who posted this picture! So brave, but she has inspired many with this picture. When you see all these skinny girls in pictures, you just see them standing with their flat tummies... But when they sit, they'll have tummy rolls aswell, because its normal. Its nothing to be embarrassed about.
  So nobody be ashamed or embarrassed... trust me, a picture can be photoshopped and fixed, dont believe everything you see. And dont compare yourself either...
   You are all beautiful the way you  are!!


Look at her body when she is standing... flat stomach... start of abs..... AMAZING body!!
And when seh sits.... thats normal!!! She still looks good, thats what i think anyway!
This is what she wrote:
Okay I don’t really want to post this but here goes.
First picture I’m standing with good posture. Body looks good. But I still have tummy rolls! It happens! They exist and they aren’t going away! Big round tummy rolls. Stop trying to make them disappear. Be happy with yourself, love yourself. Accept yourself. And aim for healthy. This body is healthy.



**Also, to add on a side note. I've had a problem accepting my legs, i feel short. And my legs are chubby... i hate them. My claves are huge, and no i dont have a thigh gap. So recently ive had a bit of a problem with my legs... been wishing for birds legs i.e stick thin legs.... but you know what... I have nice legs. I am tall, and no my legs arent model/thin legs. But i have runners legs. I run, im active. I have runner calves!! And i am going to be rpoud of that. I am happy that i even have legs, that i can walk. That i can stand, that i can run.... 
  If i had stick thin legs, i dont think id be able to run 10km. I wouldnt be able to walk around town for 3 hours without having ot sit down.... my legs would always be tired.
  So i am going to be happy over my runners legs!! Because im happy that i can run. It is my freedom, sometimes it even feels like running is my life!!! I love it. And yeah, if i were to stop running and just sat in the sofa all day, then my muscles would fade... but i will never let my leg muscles fade... no. Because they show that i am strong, and that i have stamina!!!
 
Hahaha XD

Everyone is different. Dont compare yourself to others! Just  love yourself!

  3. Thank you for posting this!!! Exactly what I needed. That girl looks amazing both whfn she stands and sits!!
    And I think its great that you're accepting your legs!!! You legs look great and I think runners legs- with medium muscles looks good. Skinny legs/bird legs are like twigs and you get tired so easily.
