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!

What i love, is having a high metabolism :) Knowing that i can eat LOADS, and.... well i dont even know where the food goes ;) I'm always hungry!!! I'm a bit like a dog.... no fullness feelings!!
No i'm only joking. Im not always hungry, and yes, i do have full feelings. I dont want to scare you into thinking that once your recovered, you'll awlays eat loads... because thats not the case!! Thats just me;)
  And of course, it has to do with metabolism. If you have a high metabolism, you are more hungry than someone with a lower metabolism & of course whether you exercise or not!!

Hunger and fullness feelings come back. Dont be scared to eat when you are hungry, whether its your set/usual time of eating or not.
   
You know what works for me....? Eating whenever im hungry. And what im craving. I am literally, so tired of seeing pictures on instagram of people who eat like tiny portions for lunch/dinner and snacks... like eating half a chicken fillet and a few tomoatoes... im like:

How do you even get full on that? Like serisouly.... here i am eating huge portions, and still have room for dessert (some yoghurt with dried fruit&nuts/or a fruit, or some dark chocolate or something). And still eat a snack later!! hahaah
   
Of course everyday is different, somedays im just not hungry and dont eat so much. I'm tired of all these diets.... i guess, they might work for some. But going on a diet... haha, Nope. No thank you.
  
I like to eat when im hungry and eat whatever i want, whether its yoghurt, chicken, salted nuts or a big bowl of pasta!!!




And that works for me :)

    1. Well i naturally have a fast metabolism... and because of my CF, my body needs more energy. I dont really think theres anything you can do to increase your metabolism... though some people say there are certain foods that increase it.

      But recently i have read about, that if you slowly increase your calorie intake... like eating 200 calories more in a week (or something) and doing that for a while, and then after 2 months increasing your calories again... apparently thats supposed to make your metabolism faster because your body gets used to the amount of calories you are eating.
      Though i think its mainly people who compete in fitness/bikini cometitions and have decaresed their calorie intake loads, and then slowly increase it, so they can eat more normally again...

      Though im not so sure... But maybe try the site that the person below recommended? ;)
