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!

If you have any questions leave them in the comment section as i am much quicker at answering there, otherwise you can always send an email: [email protected]

What i eat in a day vlog

Hello :)

So finally i made my first "What i eat in a day" videos. I had begun to do one on Wednesday during my free day, but then i ended up eating a vegetable soup and i dont think i had washed the vegetbales properly or something so i was super sick for the rest of the day and the only thing i managed to eat was some vegan brownies... so that video/vlog day sort of failed, hahaa.

Today however i needed to write a 24 hour food registration for my university course. So that means i write down everthing i eat and also weigh or measure it. Which is always an inconvenience and i wonder "how many of these food registrations will i have to do in my life?". I didnt weigh everything i ate today, i did some guestimation but i do find it interesting to see how much i eat and how much protein/carbs/fat and vitamins and minerals i get when i just eat according to my body. So i will analyse that on Monday during my class :)

I didnt do any talking in the video today, apart from in the start, because my house tennant was at home and the walls are so thin, so i didnt feel comfortable talking infront of the camera...  I vlog when she isnt home as i feel more comfortable then.

Anyway, let me know what you think and if you want me to make more videos or more full day of eating vlogs :)

Answering your questions part 2 vlog

Just realised now that i hadnt uploaded the second video of me answering your questions. It has gone far too many weeks now and i just havent had the time to film, however i made this video the same time i filmed the previous one, but just never got around to uploading it to Youtube. And when i finally uploaded it to Youtube (no editing done on this video, and i havent watched it either... so cant remember what questions i answered or how i answered!), i never actually publised the video on my blog/made it public!

So finally.... answering some of the questions i recieved and hopefully i will answer the rest of the questions in another vlog soon!!

I vlogged my day yesterday - and some of the meals i ate!

Back to vlogging and trying to get used to talking to a camera... i wish it felt natural as i have so much i want to say and so much to talk about (guess that happens when you dont do alot of talking in real life!). But it feels so unnatural at first to place a camera somewhere and begin talking to it, or sitting in a park and talking to a camera... but not to mention, all that talking could end up wtih a 2 hour long video, so need to try to keep the talking to a minimum and just to the most relevant, haha!!

Below is my vlog from yesterday :)

My first vlog

Hello!!

First update of the day and that is with a vlog over my morning. I had plans for the day and plans to make a more exciting vlog... but well,  bad weather, tiredness and with school work to do it resulted in not actually doing anything. But i had started vlogging and i wanted to atleast upload what i had vlogged to try my editing skills and to see whether regular vlogs would be appreciated on here as well?
Image result for do you ever have plans for the day

Of course, i would then vlog when i actually do stuff... if i dare, haha. I dont really know where i am going with my social media at the moment or what i am getting out of it, or if i even have the time or energy for social media.. but it is kind of fun to vlog and i would like to just sit and talk and share thoughts and be ore open through a camera and videos... so who knows! Anyway, this was my first time and so i mean i am starting off at 0 but thats ok for me!

If you have any BLOG or VLOG suggestions, please let me know :) And hit me with questions or topic ideas so i can get my creativity going again!

2 videos about my transition to plant based eating and answering your questions

Finally i have gotten around to filming and uploading the videos!! Hhaah, its just taken me a week or so to do. Though i had already filmed the videos twice but they werent exactly the best so had to remake them, and today i started the process of filmin at 12.30 and everything was uploaded and ready now by 5pm and i havent even edited the videos because i decided to just sit and talk instead of trying to do any type of fancy editing!

I havent watched the videos myself as i hate to see myself on camera but hopefully i actually answer the questions and talk about the right things and that i dont say "uhhh" too often ;) But i had to use my normal camera so i couldnt see myself while filming, so no idea how i look... but oh well!!

If you have any more questions or wonder anything just comment and i'll be happy to answer or make a written post answering any questions or things you wonder about :)


Update.. ive watched a few minutes of the videos and i am SO SORRY about that annoying noise i make inbetween sentenaces sometime. My throat was so dry and i didnt drink anything while talking... so i am so sorry. If i make more videos i will be more aware to try to not do that noise (though i dont make it when i am talking naturally with people!!!) I blame it on the cold i have which is why i cough during the videos as well. But i hope you can try to not think about that noise, hahaha.

Answers to questions part 1 - VLog

First part of questions answered :) hahaha .Havent actually watched the video myself as i hate hearing my voice on camera and dont really like seeing myself on camera. So just taking a deep breathe and hitting the publish on this without actually seeing the video myself.... could go terribly wrong!!! Someday i will learn how to make good videos and to vlog properly without stammering and getting distracted as well as saying "uhhh" far too many times (as i presume that i do.) But hopefully its watchable, and part 2 and 3 will be up this weekend :)

2 video posts

This morning i couldnt seem to get any words out of me, my brain said no. So instead i decided to make a video... just me talking, and also talking about emails and my blog. Kind of boring, so if you dont feel like watching that... i found a video/vlogg i had made while out on the island with my family.  I had planned to post it but the internet was so bad out on the island so i had forgotten about it... so you get to see it now instead :) Just me being me ;) haha





(p.s sorry for the weird angle of the camera all the time... its hard to hold a camera up all the time, and when i dont see where or what i am filming its even harder!)

Vlog: Trust your doctors and seek proffessional care

My attempt at trying to make a video...

*So much repetition
*So much messing with my hair
* Distracting dog

- Why am i posting this video? Mainly because Daisy is so cute - so skip to like 4.30 if you dont care what im saying and just want to see Daisy :) hahah


However to summarize what i say in the video - Trust your doctors. They arent lying to you. You need to listen to them and take their advice on board and also seek proffessional help. DONT self diagnose. Dont just ask people online for help, but actually talk to someone. It can be scary,  but its for YOUR best!!

Boredom eating: Video

Trying to be concise when talking.... not my best skill :):) But anyway i have been meaning to talk about this for a while...Boredom eating.  This video is more for those of you who are close or at your healthy weight and do alot of continuous snacking or boredom eat. It is a habit, something your head and body get used to. But its good to have main proper meals and to listen to your hunger and fullness.

I babble on and repeat myself alot, but  will write a post with advice if anyone needs it :)
  And dont be afraid to request topics to write/talk about :)




**Ohh and that thumbnail though! Always the ugliest :):)

Vlogg: Loving your body

I just want to say thank you for all the lovely comments about my previous video... so here comes another one!! :)
  I am super forgetful, just talking lots and such... im no vlogger. I prefer to just type :)

(video below!)

Anyway, i realised that i had forgotten to talk about the main thing which i had planned to talk about!!!

Learning to live life and forget what your body looks like. People seem to pay too much attention to their body and the way their body looks, but really... there is more to life than that. Yesterday when i was enjoying myself and celebrating New Years eve, despite having a bad body image day before hand and just hating how i looked. When i finally got out i just forgot about that, i could enjoy myself and be happy. Not care about how i looked. To be able to live life, have photos taken of you, be with friends, go on adventures and such and just not care what your body looks like. Its freedom. But also you realise that there is so much more to life than what you look like....
  So many people focus on having a low body fat procent or a flat stomach or lean legs or whatever, but in the end you wear tops and jeans and coats anyway. Of course during summer or warmer countries you arent as covered up, but who cares. Who cares how your body looks... i know society tells us we have to look a certian way, we have to be thin or have a flat stomach to fit in but thats not true. I know i may seem hypocritical and ive been asked if i would love myself if i look different and i am sure i would.

But you need to learn to live life and not place so much emphasis on how you look... to not care how your arms or legs or stomach look. To just be happy, to be comfortable and be able to do other things than sit infront of the mirror and cry or be too afraid to leave the house because you think people will judge you.
