Before...
i was always pretty stretchy.
I could put my foot behind my head, stand on my toes, do the splits, etc etc.
And now...
its time to get back to my stretchy-ness!!
After a 5 year struggle with anorexia (with purging tendencies), depression, self harm and over exercising I have now been recovered for 4 years and i use my blog to help others in the same situation i once was. I am now a happy and positive person who wants to inspire those struggling to choose recovery and to take control over life and happiness again!

Haha impressive :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you're doing so well.
Can I ask you a question? Do you have any problems with your bones due to anorexia? I've just been told I've got osteonpenia (or something like that!) the thing before osteoperosis. Have you come across that at all, and are there any other long term things you have now even though you're recovered?
Thanks!

:) Haha, thanx.. :)
ReplyDeleteNo, i dont think i have. Or... when i was sickest, i supose my whole body ached and things like that, but i suppose thats just normal.
But im on all these different vitamins and minerals, to help keep my bones strong. So i think thats helped.
But i have been worried because i do get back pains now and again, so im gonna get that checked out sometime.. but i think ill be one of thoose hunched people when im older.
But im gonna start stretching and maybe do yoga now.. :)
It doesnt so sound so good with the osteonpenia.. :(
Can you like take anything for it? Or will it get better?
The only long term thing is like the back pain and sometimes in my hips and knees. I can find it really hard ot walk some days because of my knees..
Hows things going for you?
xx
Yeah vitamins probably help :) Good old vitamins! And yoga sounds good, I want to start that if (when!) I recover :)
ReplyDeleteI had a DEXA scan done for my bones, maybe you should see if you could have one, cos apparently it's when you miss periods that your bones get damaged (not trying to scare you but might help to know?!) Sorry :D But I think exercise like walking and weights and eating calcium stops it getting worse, don't think you can grow bone back though?! hmmm I don't know!
Do you think your knee problems are from anorexia?
By the way, yay on getting your period! Made me very happy and positive to read it :)
Things are okay, well the same really, but I start inpatients on Monday, at the moment it's like a constant battle in my head, some days I'm really excited to recover and get my life back the next day Ana is just screaming at me to starve. So we shall see...
But I'll comment when I'm out in a few weeks, so keep battling too, I hope you're doing just as well when I'm out :)
Thanks for all your help
Love Jess

jag förstod att äpplena åts utöver för dig, men det var precis vad jag menade - trots en massa "extra" äpplen så blir kroppen inte nöjd, snarare ännu mer stressad då den inte får det den faktiskt suktar efter. I slutändan har man kanske fått i sig mer, kalorimässigt eftersom man trycker i sig fem äpplen, hade man valt 2-3 smörgåsar hade det blivit mindre.. om det nu är en tröst.
ReplyDeleteDu är duktig vännen, tror VERKLIGEN på dig!
För mig går det sådär, på måndag ska jag få en extravecka på min gamla dagvård som jag slutade på i Mars, vilket känns enormt skönt! <3

Sv: Hej! Jag vet inte vad jag ska skriva..
ReplyDeleteJag har hört det förut, att jag är smal.. Men jag klarar inte av att se det själv och det skit jobbigt verkligen.
Vill bara att allt ska bli normalt igen och att jag framförallt ska tycka om min kropp som den är oavsätt vikt.
Härligt att höra! Du är jätte fin så du ska absolut tycka om din kropp så som den är!
Tack, detsamma!
Sådär.. Ja, jag flyttar in på måndag och ska bo där i 4 veckor.. Har lite blandade känslor om det.
Vill ju faktiskt bli frisk nu, så får hoppas att det ska hjälpa!
Kram
