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]

Tapas

Good evening :)
 
As i mentioned this morning, i was going to go out for dinner with my mum and sister today!! The main reason why (if you know... you need a reason to go out and eat dinner) was that 1) my mum wants to spend more time with me and my sister and 2) my sister has just finished her first university essay 8which she had to write in 2 days!! )

I didnt really know where we were going to go and eat, but i was open for all suggestions ;)
   And we decided on Tapas!!

Me and my mum headed into town, where the restaurant was and met my sister there. My first impression of the restaruant... crazy and hectic!! (Crazy spanish music playing, and people crammed together) but as we had reserved a dinner table, we sat in a more quiet area... though it was still crammed seating.
 
Tapas are small spanish dishes, so we all ordered 3 small dishes each.
  I went for garlic bread with manchego cheese & tomoatoe salsa. A salmon & prawn skewer & chicken in garlic sauce.
    When the dishes were served, i realised just how small the portions were!! haha. For a person who eats like Jumbo meals, the 3 dishes together were just like an appetizer XD I made sure to eat slowly, so that i wouldnt just rush through the food and sit there feeling hungry.
   Though i did end up eating a few prawns from my mum.... and eating about half a basket of bread!! XD
Hahah, the bread basket was free... so it was just to keep eating ;)

^^ To some, that might look like a lot... to me.
That barely made me full ;) 




^^ It was really dark where we sat, so im surprised at how good the pictures turned out ;)

After a while, when the food had digested a little, it was of course time for dessert ;) (If someone else is paying, then you might as well eat like a man XD)
   My sister and I shared a chocolate cake ... though i must say, i was dissappointed. It didnt taste of anything ;( So just ate a few mouthfuls... my sister didnt even think it was that good, and we only ate about half of it... what a waste of cake. :/
  I guess the spanish arent good at dessert? My mum didnt like her dessert either -_-



And then when we were finished, my mum and sister were going to go out for a drink. They wanted me to follow with them, but i just didnt feel like it.... and if im honest, i dont see the point in just going out and taking a drink. I dont just casually drink, or casually take a beer/glass of wine. I mean, if i go to a party, i'll drink a few shots, or a few ciders. But i dont see the point in just drinking 1 drink, just because.
   It doesnt even taste good, and all you're doing is killing braincells.....

So, as the boring person i am. I headed home instead (Is it tragic when your mum is out on a Friday night, and you're sitting home alone? hahaha XD Oh gosh, i just realised how tragic my life is XD)
   

Butttt...... i've got a bag of nuts/candy, because you know its Friday evening, and im always hungry!!
