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]

  4. I follow you because you give me inspiration to keep moving on. Ever since I've started following you, I have stayed on track to recovery a little better. If I I saw you, I'd tell you thank you and give you a giant hug(: one question though: Im having a hard time regaining weight and not because I'm not eating barely anything. I am! I just can't seem to put on the weight! Do you know any reason why this could be?

  7. I follow your blog since I started to eat less/lose weight and I think this helped me to not slip into an ED because I saw what could happen. So since then I've been reading over your old posts and I just started with the January 2012 ones. I really like how open you write about your feelings and everything and in between there's always some advice and interesting facts, etc. (like your next post on binge eating...thx)

  8. If I met you I would love to sit and talk to you over a bowl of yogurt, granola, berries, and nuts.. one of my favorites! We also don't have quark here in the US so I'm not sure what it is or if I spelled it right.
    I follow you because you are one of the few truly pro-recovery blogs I have found. I am still in the midst of recovery, it is my third time trying and the longest time I've been able to hold on. Your blog helps me so much :) I know there's always struggles and no one can always be positive but the general tone of your blog is positive and real. I actually like that you can admit when you're having a hard time and deal with it and let it pass.
    Compliment- You are such an inspiration! To see the pictures and hear about how far gone you were and contrast it to where you are now is amazing.
    A story- This is embarrassing but always makes people laugh... One day I was in art class and my friends were in the courtyard outside of the room. We had really low windows that opened by pushing a latch and popping it out towards the outside. I was small enough to fit through the space so I decided to crawl through to my friends. I was on my hands and knees going forward when the back of my tank top caught on my latch. I backed up to get it off and went forward quickly... such a mistake. The latch got under my tank top, bra, and thong and pulled them all to the middle of my back so I was hanging there in front of all of my friends and one of them had to come get me off. After they stopped laughing ofcourse. This was years ago and to this day just thinking about it makes me laugh so hard that it brings tears to my eyes. It was embarrassing but I have to admit it's one of the funniest things I've had happen to me.
    Just thought I'd give you a laugh :P

    1. Sounds like the perfect snack/breakfast/meal :) Yeah you spelled quark right ;) Its sort of like a creamcheese/yoghurt type thing... hard to explain, but tastes really good!!
      I am glad to hear that you are in recovery... maybe its '3rd time lucky?' I relapsed several times before i actually recovered. So stay strong and keep fighting.
      I believe in being honest, as much as possible anyway. And show that i do have bad body days, i do have days where i am really low and things are hard... because that is just normal. And it wouldnt eb right to pretend that everything will suddenly be rosy and perfect.. i mean life, is life!

      It did give me a laugh... and im glad that you could share your story :) Hahah... you'll have a story to tell at parties/or to tell your kids anyway :) hahaha XD

      Hope you're doing well!!

  11. I follow you and I keep coming back almost everyday to read your blog because you have such good energy, you recovered the best way, and it's clear you want to help other people to recover as well! I admire you in all the ways I can see you - I mean, I only know about what you write on your blog, but I can bet you're a sweetheart full time! hahaha
    And also because when I was on one of my darkest days of all time, instead of screwing everything up, I calmed down and wrote you an e-mail. And you wrote me back with so sweet and kind words, it changed my path. Like, seriously. So, thank you! :)

  12. A compliment, you look fabulous
    The reason I follow you- your the only reason/voice/person that seems to have felt and struggled the way I am now
    If I met you, I would just be in awe of you!!! You truly are an amazing person. To have fought as you did and your zest for life, your passion and your inspiration to help others makes you such a beautiful person inside and out
    Please keep your blog going, some day soon I hope to be as strong and healthy as you are x x x
