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!

Snack

Good afternoon everyone :)
  This is me today:


Today i met up with D and after browsing different shops we decided to buy something to eat and sit down somewhere. I found an atkins bar, ive been looking everywhere for them. They're supposed to be really good..... my opinion of them? They're filling and a great snack if you're on the go. But not my favourite bar.

 
I bought the bar and water & D bought the bunch of different drinks/smoothies and an atkins bar as well :)
Though she bought them for later, and only drank the banana and mango smoothie ;)


 We started talking about baking some healthy snacks which can be good to take with us if we're going somewhere, or even to school (as she's starting school this week, and i start next week)  So we're planning on finding some good snack recipes (like bars, or healthy muffins etc) and having a baking day!! :)
  If you know of any good blogs, or good recipes please comment with the links :)

  1. Are atkins bars really healthy? They're deliberately low carb, aimed at dieters to keep them at a weight loss blood sugar/ketotic level?... just wondered!?

    1. If they're really healthy...? I dont really know. I didnt read the nutritional value. But i know that they're low in sugar and carbs, but thats all i know.
      The one i tasted 'dark chocolate' was ok, like i said a good snack on the go if you want something 'sort of healthy' (apart from fruit or nuts) but its not my favourite bar :)

  2. Date bars with nuts and oats or smth is a great snack. Or different nut butter cookies.
