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:

Hi Izzy,
ReplyDeleteWith weight fear, binge eating fear...I also have to deal with amounts of food...I do not know what a normal food portion is and usually i underestimate ...thinking that is is a lot....
well i am bit lost....
i also have to deal with dishes size...for very long time i have been using a small plate to eat...
small plate = small portions = less fear
my plate was 15cm diametre
and yesterday i have swiched to a 20cm diametre plate (a normal plate size i suppose ???)
i have plated all my food on it and when i saw the amount i just went into a big big panic telling mysel: no way, not possible, too much
i have been tempted to remove food from my plate
i had to convice myself that i should not (but not easy to do it when you are alone and nobody to tell you what do do or not)
i did not remove anything but diner was still stressful very very stressful
how did you managed to eat all the food that was given to you? have you ever took the habit to eat in small dishes ? how did you lean food portion ? learn what a "normal" food portion is ? how much food you has to put on your plate ?......
i still ate everything and still had my pre-bed meal (6 egg whites and 100g yoggurt
but i really feel incomfortable (in my head )
