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]

My Saturday!

Why hello there :)

Not so many personal posts at the moment - i am sorry for that, for those of you who want to read my personal posts anyway! But i am trying my best to make everyone happy with recovery posts, personal posts, food posts, answering questions etc etc! And emailing hasnt been on top recently :/

 Onto my day - Waking up with the sun shining into my room!! I knew it was going to be a wonderful day.
   This morning i really felt like going for a run, but at the same time wanted to go to the gym!  Conflicting feelings. However i went to the gym and did a Bodypump pass and after that i had some stuff to do.
   Came home and since then ive pretty much been eating and studying!! Lots of psychology work done... though it feels like i could write 10+ pages on everything im learning... And still so much more!

Ive been trying to make plans for what i should do this evening because my parents are having this 'double date' thing at our house, and well...lets put it this way - Im not invited. -_-
   All my friends are busy.... Or they're avoiding me... who knows? And my sister is going out for dinner... so im kind of clueless on what to do. I considered going to the gym again... doing some stretching and handstand practise, however it closed at 6....
   I felt bored and restless and just didnt know what to do so i decided to go out for  a walk with my dog.... and then i began runnign with her as she had lots of energy... And then i just didnt stop running! It felt so good. So natural!!! Recently i have wanting to go out and run, just havent had the chance, and i hate running on the treadmill. But also at the moment im limiting my cardio.
  For being my first 'distance' run since autumn i did pretty well... didnt stop (apart from when Daisy had to pee). I know some of you dont want to read about my exercise - so im sorry about that. But i know that some do. However i try to limit writing about exercise.
  Anyway, im thinking its time to start running again!!! :)


This evening im pretty much going to be a prisoner in my room...Not really, im making it seem worse than it is. But ill watch a film (Any film suggestions? :))  and the guests will be gone before i know it... (or i hope so anyway!!) :)

How have you spent your day?

  1. You seemed to run pretty fast! Great :)
    I've spent my rest day by hanging online (gaah, my life is so damn exciting I have to hold it back some days... -ish? Haha or not) and I did go outdoors a few times since the weather was bursting with the springyness so much! Aand a bit of series - watched a Finnish live comedy show and now it's time for some Survivor! Pure love for the last one I'd say ♥

    1. Hahah thank you, for actually running more than 500m i think i did pretty well :) Though not my best - but there is no point in comparing to when i was running regularly.
      I know that feeling!! ;) It feels like spring is in the air here in Sweden as well :) It was a lovely day yesterday :)

  3. Glad you enjoyed your run Izzy, and I don't think you should limit your 'exercise' posts-Its a big part of 'you' and defines a healthy balanced lifestlye (as much as it can be defined anyway!)
    Hope you found a good film! H x

    1. Yeah it is a big part of me and my lifestyle, but it feels like every time i do write about exercise i get comments telling me they are triggering and i guess i should respect that ;)
      I ended up watching Despicable me 2 :)

  6. Hi! I would like to know what you feel or know about using protein powders after workout? Should I use them or not? What would be other options to optimize recovery and muscle building after strength training?

  7. If you like to talk about your exercise then you should :D if people find it triggering they can choose not to read it, and there's triggering stuff in every day life too, they should get over it! Love your blog :) xxx
