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!

Goal setting.

One important thing is goal setting. This is something which i often do with exercise. I set up goals so I know what I'm working towards/for. (I got asked about my exercise goals, they're coming up in a post later :) )

In recovery it's also important to set up goals. To each week decide to challenge yourself and do something which beings you closer to your goal of recovery. Each week try to face a fear food. To do something which scares you... Like go out and eat. Or eat wuth your family or friends. Or decide to not exercise. You can even set up this jar where you put in some money each time you face one of your fears, and when you have reached a certain amount you treat yourself to something nice.
Or you can do where you place all your fears - all these things you have to overcome. And place them in a jar... and the days where you feel confident - ready to kick your ED  butt. Then you pick one of those fears from the jar and face it head on!!
 
Start setting up part time goals for yourself and you will realise it's easier to reach your main goal - Recovery.
