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]

English Article.

Yesterday i recieved the magazine in which the article written about me and when i was sick was in.
   They had already read the article to me, and gone through it... but somehow. Recieveing the article and reading it for myself.... i felt a clump forming in my belly.
  And im not even sure why?
 For some reason, i feel ashmaed? Not proud of this article? But i should be, because i mean... its basically that i had anorexia was very sick, wanted to kill myself but managed to recover. Thats basically what it is about.
  But i dont know.... It feels weird? Its like, i have no problem writing about my anorexia here, or telling my story here... but somehow, it almost feels so personal in the magazine?
  But i dont know how many people will really read the article anyway, im sure many will just skim it.
   Uschh. Dont really want to write anymore about it...

^^Thats the article anyway.

  1. I know what you mean, it's a part of your life you rather forget. It's the same for everybody went through similar issues: looking at old pictures, reading old diaries... You do feel scared and ashamed, because it feels like somehow it wasn't the real you that was writing that stuff and having such dark thoughts.
    I think it's healthy to leave the past behind and move on completely. What's gone is gone and you're a different person today.
    Yet, never stop being proud of all what you went through. By going through such a bad time, you are indeed the living proof that life can get so much better.

    P.S Loving the new banner!!!

  3. I know what you mean as well. It is something you'd rather forget. But it's similar to what you do here, you inspire people. Seeing what you went through, how much you have recovered, how much you're enjoying life, that is IS possible to recover.
    Don't be ashamed of your past, but instead be proud of it. It's made you stronger, and you've gained so much from it. It's so inspirational. I love it. (:
