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]

Bloating

At the moment i am sitting here lauging at my stomach... why? Because i look pregnant!! haha, even my mum commented!!
  Well, either its that or im bloated... and im thinking its the latter. I sat here debating where i should publish this post and the picture(s) or not... but hey, im only human. And bloating normal, its natural. It sucks, but there is not so much you can do about. Thats what happens when you eat and drink.
  And i know many of you hate and struggle with bloating, it lowers your self esteeem and body image and puts you off recovery. But hey, even healthy/Normal people do it aswell. Even those super toned/Lean people in pictures you see... they also bloat. Its just that they're not exactly going to post a picture of that are they?

So if you bloat, just keep calm. It will go away... Embrace your food baby and know that you are treating your body properly (Unless you are bloating due to an intolerance or allergic to something.. then maybe its not so good ;))!!


^^ That is how i look naturally, not sucking in my stomach....






And this is how i look now, with my big food baby and looking Pregnant!!!

    I'm not the only one with a food baby. It was so funny this one time my belly bloated like extremely! And I was just before I went to my friends b-day party. You could see it, and I looked pregnant. I had some beer, and while I was drinking it, a boy came up to me, and he was like: "Why on earth are you drinking that!? You'll damage the baby!"
    I still laugh at it XD

  3. Haha, i took a photo of my food baby the other day too... its so funny!!! we should start a celebration of food baby pics! i dunno but i always feel more accepting of bloating at night when i can just curl up in bed and sleep it away. I dont like feeling bloated and full in the day, cos its uncomfortable in clothes. thats why sweatpants were invented!! :p

    1. Yeah bloating during the day that really sucks but i mean when you're just at home, in cosy clothes and not going to do anything anyway then it really doesnt matter that much!! :)

  5. Thank you for being brave enough to share that!! That can be really scary- afraid of what others may say- but it is SO great to know that we are not alone when it comes to 'food babies'!
