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!

Never give up

I know how easy it is to want to just give up. I mean, giving up is the easy way out. But think, if i had given up. If i had just decided the recovery wasnt worth it. That it was too hard, i most probably wouldnt be writing this blog (or maybe i would, but the content would be very different!), or i maybe i wouldnt even be alive. If i had given up on recovery there would have been about a 95% chance that i would have continued with my suicide attempts.
 
I know a few other girls who have recovered from anorexia, and they can tell you aswell that they are so much happier now.
   Recovering is hard, whether its from an ED, depression, self harm, alcohol or drug addictions, its hard. But it gets better.
 
And even when the going gets tough, you've got to be stronger. And even when no one else is there to support you. And life seems tough, you have got to find the strength and motivation to keep going anyway.
  I mean everyone has times when they slip up, make a mistake or two. But dont let those mistakes ruin you or define you. You have to pick yourself up and keep going - keep going towards happiness and recovery.

Do it for yourself, because in the end. Its your life, its you who makes the choices. You can continue down the path of sickness, but its you who has to deal with the consequences. You can either continue living a life you hate, or you can make the choice to change it.  Its all up to you.

But i can tell you from my own experience. To choose recovery.
  And never give up, even if the going gets tough. Because as they say, you cant have a rainbow without a little rain.
   And of course, after the storm comes the sun :)
