Life without Anorexia

My motto is 'Dont let the sadness of your past & the fear of your future ruin the happiness of your present'

I am a generally happy girl who loves running, going to the gym and eating food!! Though my life has been very different.
I spent 5 years sick with anorexia nervosia & purging tendencies & over exercising. I was depressed and self harmed. I spent 2 years in different treatment centres.
After alot of struggles, lots of ups and downs, suicide attempts, tears, anxiety, panic and never thinking i would be healthy.
I am now declared healthy from anorexia nervosia.

I have been blogging for 4 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 am happy and healthy and living my life. Going to school, meeting friends and trying to find myself in this world.

I write about my daily life, but also try to write posts about how it was when i was sick, advice and tips.
I am open and friendly, so dont be scared about writing a post or sending me an email at: [email protected]

Packing

Helllloooo :)

First real update of the day! (The other ones are scheduled!) Today has been another day where i have been gone from the house pretty much all day.
 
This morning i started my day with a walk with Daisy (Really appreciating going for walks with Daisy, and im so thank ful that it hasnt started snowing yet!! )
  
Im going to miss Daisy for the few days that i'm gone!
Even though one of my dogs still lives in Ireland, its going to be so strange that Buddy, my other dog wont be there. :( 


Afterwards i got ready and met D (it has been several weeks since we last met!! Wayy to long. In other words, but thats life... even if you dont see your friends as often as you want to, you know that you're still there for each other, and whe nyou do meet, its like no time has passed at all!)
We headed into town, and walked in and out of about 10 cafes trying to find the right one, and neither of us knew if we wanted lunch, or something sweet, or just a coffee....
And we ended up walking around half of the city and finally ended up in one of our usual cafe places!
Hahah, we tried to change it up a bit, go somewhere different.... but that didnt work so well! We tried anyway.
Why change a winning concept? 
DO any of you have any places/cafes where you always go to? :)


After that we headed our seperate ways and i came home, realising i need to pack...
But of course, not actually doing anything about it until right now....



So far so good....


Ive bought loads of bars to take with me, so that i will have something to eat during the hours of travelling ( 90 minutes on the bus to the airport, 2 hours flight & then 4 hours on the bus from the airport in Ireland and then its 50 minutes in the car to my dads house... Hey there pain in my ass from all the sitting!! haha XD). So im not exactly looking forward to all the hours of transport :/

Also... my dad doesnt understand the concept of snacks.
My dad used to eat LOADS before, but was still as skinny as a stick (ive got his fast metabolism & his skinny frame), but half brother is the same (eat LOADS, never gain weight.)
But now that my dad is older (though not that old) he doesnt eat that much... or like 3 times a day. 
He's the type of person who eats cornflakes & milk for breakfast, 6 hours later eats a sandwich and some biscuits for lunch and then at 7 or 8pm eats dinner (like cod and chips/pizza) and maybe a slice of cake for dessert....
For me.... that doesnt work. I need my continuous snacks, or i turn into a bitch!
So im going to make sure that my dad buys some fruit/nuts/yoghurt/cottage cheese and salad/vegetables so that i can have my snacks & vegetables!! :) haha

I know that my dad is going to comment that i eat alot, and he's going to be shocked...  But i can atleast say that ive gotten my apetite from him (when he used to eat lots!)


^Do i look like my dad? ;)


Ok.. now ive spent way too much time writing this post, and its time to actually finish my packing!! :)

I will have Wi-Fi whlie im away, so i guess ill post some updates, but i have scheduled several posts for each day that im away, so there will be posts to read :)

  1. I hope you have a safe trip. You do look like your dad a little bit, and it's awesome that you're going to see him. I hope you have a good time!
    By the way, a random question. How many years in school do you still have to study?
