Life without Anorexia

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

My life at the moment is completely different to how it once was. I spent 5 years sick with anorexia nervosia and depression as well as struggling with self harm and overexercising. I spent 2 years in different treatment centres.
And since 2012 i have been declared healthy from my eating disorder.

I have been blogging for 7 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 now blog about recovery, my life, veganism and positivity!

Ben and Jerrys

Is there anything better then Ben and Jerrys ice cream???!! I think not.. :)
 
I have come to the conclusion, that all the Ben and Jerrys' flavours are as good as each others!! I want to try them all!!! :) Ive only tried like a 3rd of all the flavours!!!
  
Tonight, i had Baked Alaska!!   Half a tub sitting in my belly!! Nom nom :)


 
Its time like this when i realise, Im healthy!! And actually really enjoy it!!
To be able to eat like a half tub ice cream and not have anxiety.. to just enjoy every spoonful, and know that it doesnt matter. That no, i wont gain 5kg just because...
To enjoy eating, and to eat nice food that i want to eat.
To eat dinner and then enjoy dessert afterwards, and to be able to spend the rest of the evening watching a film, not having to compensate!!
Healthy....
Isnt it tempting?
To not worry about calories, or what you've eaten... i mean, i cant even remember everything ive eaten today?
While i was sick, i knew exactly what i had eaten.. maybe because i didnt eat so much... but food was everything i thought about.
Now i only think about food if im craving something or am hungry..
food isnt constantly on my mind, i dont plan my meals beforehand (unless im really hungry at school, then sometimes i can fantasize about what ill eat when ill get home!!  XD hah)
 
To all of you who havent tried Ben and Jerrys... you should!! (even though i know its really expensive... :S)
And anyone who has had B&J's... whats your favourite flavour? :)

    1. Of course you will be able to eat B&Js again someday!!! Or instead of saying... someday. Try it now? When you suddenly get like 5 minutes of courage... when you feel like you can overcome Ana... take your change and try something new. Or do something youve thiught was scary!!!
      Haha? Was it an auto mistake for the ice cream flavour?
