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!

One Day...

One day i will be an inspiration... i want to stand up and talk about what ive been through. I want to inspire others to choose recovery... to show others who are sick, that it is possible to recover. That you can live life. That you can enjoy eating. That you can be happpy (Yes you can.. even though for me at the moment im not...)
  I want to show others that you can recover... that you can be at absaloute bottom... and fight your way to the top...
   It takes time. Its hard work. Its a mental battle and it is not at all fun... but it is possible and that is the main thing.
  
I want to stand infront of an audience, i want to go back to Mando, i want to talk about what ive been through. Talk about my experiences.
   Im not scared to talk about what ive been through..the hardest is talking about what im going through. That, i cant talk about.
  But the past... what has happened. That is easy to talk about.. its like telling a story.

I also want to publish a book.. in time... Just to add to the recovery books?!
 
Big dreams!!
  
I also want to be a journalist... where i will write about topics, bringing up things that i believe people need to know about. A bit like an investigator... i want to try to change society and media... ok, I, myself most probably wont change much... but if no ones knows what is going on... things cant change.
  I want to write to change the world.

I am going to run a half marathon!!!  (I also want to run the colour run!!!)

I will graduate from school with top marks, and be happy with my results... to have survived school!

My dreams, goals and ambitions is what keeps me going.... my plans.
What i want to achieve .

Its good to have goals and dreams.. otherwise it can feel so pointless, you wonder what the point is in living.. i still have those thoughts and those days... but as long as i know what i want, where im going... then i can try to keep myself on the right path... the road ahead!!

  2. You already ARE an inspiration to people, you do inspire people to take the road to recovery. I am just one of those examples. You have the ability to dream big - never let go of it! You can accomplish all of the things above, running a marathon, being a journalist. I know that I for one, would read your book in a heartbeat.
    This post made me smile so much, you are amazing. Never give up on your goals and your dreams. The only failure is not trying. (:

  4. You already are an inspiration! I have sufferred from an aneorxia also as well as binge eating. In two years I went from being 80lbs to being 160lbs. My life was out of control and I wasn't taking responsible for my lifestyle. I decided once and for all a year ago that I wanted to take control of my life. I did some research and found www.fullbar.com. This program has literally changed my life I have learned to eat in a healthy way and now down to a healthy weight for the first time in 4 years. Inspire people you can do it!
