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!

Walking

This morning i had a sleep in - woke up at 9.30 (for some, that might not be considered a sleep in. But the fact that i wake at 6.30/7.30 almost every morning - due to my bodies alarm clock. 9.30 is a sleep in for me.) and it was well needed :)

Im now about to head out into the grey weatherr and go for a walk with Daisy!! Feel i need some air :)
The thing which i love about walking, is that it can be done pretty much anywhere and any time. It can be done in the evening, the morning, during lunch break, on the way home from work etc.
   I love walking, just seeing new things. Moving my body. It doesnt even have to be a power walk, infact, the walks i enjoy most are when i just walk and look around me. When i stop and take pictures, when i listen to good music and just enjoy my life!!
   Also, walking is the time when i just think, its when im the most creative, like sometimes when im running or walking, i get the best ideas for posts or for pictures. And wish that i had some paper so i could write it all down, because by the time im home again ive forgotten it all again!! 
   Walking gets your heart pumping and blood flowing and the oxygen going, making it easier to concentrate (so if you feel you cant concentrate on your work, then go for a 15 minute walk.)

Walking is also very relaxing... or depending where you are walking i guess. I mean, i cant believe its very relaxing to go for a walk in the middle of the city! haha
   
For any of you who are going for a walk today, stop to look around you. Take some pictures, listen to some music. Just breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy you're walk.
  Dont see it as a way to burn calories, but more of a stress reliever. :)

  1. Are you wearing any makeup in these pictures? If not, then i´m kind of jealous of your natural beauty:)
    You look amazingly beautiful and this haircolor is perfect for you(looks very natural).

  2. That's exactly what I've done today ! As the sun was shining and the air warming up, I just decided not to take the tram and to walk home after school. I chose to go by some nice parks on my way and it felt sooooo relaxing just to walk under the sun ! :)

  4. I love walking too. Just being there, in nature, hearing the natural things. But when you are walking and you get that idea for a post to write, maybe you could type it on your phone or your iPod or something. Or just like type the idea, so you won't forget your idea? Just thought it'd help. Xx
    I agree with the Anonymous comment. You're so pretty and you have a natural beauty, both in looks and in personality. (:
