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!

Health

I know some people have said that they prefer me writing, rather than texts from other people/other sources... but i read this text yesterday and felt that it was something that, if only i had the time to actually sit down and write, would write pretty much the same thing.
 
Health isn’t having a list of things you can eat and cannot eat
Health isn’t about forcing yourself to do things you don’t want to do
Health isn’t about choosing to go to the gym instead of hanging with your friends on a friday night
Health isn’t about restricting your life so hardly that you forget what you love the most
Health isn’t to destroy yourself from the inside to get a supermodel’s body
Health is to enjoy the wholesome foods, to know your body, to love the feeling of sweating, to cut down on alcohol and junk food because you know your body doesn’t want it.
But ”going out with friends” doesn’t directly mean ”become an alcoholic”.
Who said having fun and dancing wasn’t healthy? Oh, right. No one, ever.
And eating some ice cream doesn’t directly mean you’ll become obese and disgusting, you just don’t need to eat 3 liters of it.

Enjoy yourself and the body you’re in. Treat your body the way it deserves. But don’t forget there is other things to life than food and training. Eat healthy, but don’t hate yourself for indulging and enjoying the unhealthy sweets sometimes. Train insane, but don’t forget to have rest days and sometimes an afternoon coffee with friends can be more rewarding than that body pump-class.
In moderation, everything (except drugs) is healthy. So be healthy. Not crazy.
