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!

Today i'm happy!

Last night was not a good night. I went to bed with lots of anxiety.
 At 9pm, i felt like my head would explode from the anxiety so i went to bed at 9, but spent 3 hours reading my book, trying to keep me from crying... (yet again, not really knowing why i feel like crying). 
I barely slept at all last night, waking up 5 times during the night.

But still, i woke up wide awake at 7am this morning (no alarm), ready for the day!!
As i was up so early, i decided to go to a gym class.
So took daisy for a short walk, ate breakfast (the same as yesterday!), got ready and headed to the gym!
And now im feeling great!! The past few days, my mood has been up and down, and ive even had some body anxiety - hating the way i look.
But today... well today, i feel happy. The sun is shining, and im feeling awesome in my body :)
I just feel like smiling!!


When i got home, i went out with Daisy again and you can see how happy she is aswell :)

It might just be the endorphines after my workout, or maybe its the sun, or maybe its because im gonna spend the evening with friends tonight!
But im just happy!

    Hey izzy been following your blog for a while now, you are so awesome and inspiring! I've been recovering from anorexia for the last 4 months and been struggling with body image because of weight distribution. Can i ask how long did it take for your weight gain to redistribute in a proportionate way? You are looking great :)

      Thank you :)
      I'm happy to hear that you are in recovery - keep strong!! I know its tough.
      Its hard to answer that, because it just sort of happened over time. Its not like i woke up one day, and the weight was redistributed.... it just sort of happens. And you dont notice it...
      But it does take time. That is one thing i am sure of. But try to focus on other things, and not so much about your body...
      find something to do, something fun which you enjoy (if you're allowed, that is!!)
      Because one day you will feel positive and happy in your body, you just have to be patient, and most important work with your thoughts!! Think positive things about yourself :)
