Good afternoon!!! :)
Today, i am really proud of myself! I went to the gym this morning, i felt that my gym crad was starting to get dusty!! haha (Joke! XD)
When i got to the gym, i felt really tired... didnt feel so much like exercising. I was actually contemplating just going home again, but i figured i was already there, might aswell actually do some exercise!! (Im usually very active, and have lots of energy...so its always strange when i feel tired and slow.)
When i got on the treadmill, i thought i would barely manage 10 minutes... thats how tired i was. But i just plugged in my music, and i was staring at the TV which was showing Extreme Makeover: Weightloss edition. (haha... what a program to watch when your on the treadmill... but i always smile when i see the change in the overweight persons body. But the thing is... when i look at the people who are overweight... Thats exactly how i feel... i feel like theres fat all over my body. just hanging down... Of course its not at all like that. But i still dont see myself right.. hence my BDD. :/)
But before i knew it, i had run 45 minutes, and i wasnt even tired, so i kept running unti l i had run an hour, 10km!!! Im so proud of myself!! Ive never ran 10km in one go... i would usually run like 30 minutes and 30 minutes, or like 45 & 15. And the max ive run in one go is 7,5km....!!! And i thought i was tired!
(Btw im sorry if anyone finds that triggering. I usually try to avoid writing about my exercise routines and how much i do as i know it can be triggering... but i just felt so proud of myself!! XD)
And then my mum picked me up. She had offered to give me a massage today (as shes a masseus & a yoga teacher!). I actualyl dont like massages... i get anxiety about it. Just the thought about it.
But its a sick anxiety... i still have a fear & hate of massages. Because when i was sick, i hated people touching my body, or seeing my body. I felt fat & grotesque... and i hated when people hugged me. I hated if anyone saw me changing or anything like that... i avoided contact with people and i avoided mirrors (if i wasnt standing infront of them obsessing about all the 'fat' i had on my body.)
But i decided to try to go against that anxiety i had. I mean, massages are nice and relaxing and at the moment i have like back, shoulder and neck pain. (and im still so young.)
I let go of my stress and anxiety over getting a massage and i relaxed and really enjoyed it.
I even fell asleep!!! While i slept i ended up dreaming that i was falling so i like sat upright, shocked not knowing where i was!! haha... I gave my mum a fright.
It was really nice.... it feels like some of my anxiety is definitely gone. But i wouldnt be comfortable with someone else giving me a massage!!
Im feeling sleepy and relaxed now!! Nice!!!
Ahh if only i could go to the gym and get a massage everyday!! haha XD
How has everyones day been? :)
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!

Life without Anorexia
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!

DeleteI Love Love Love massages, i wish my mom was a masseuse and yoga teacher!
ReplyDeleteHowever i go to a physiotherapist/masseuse every week for a massage - also got those terrible pains + scoliosis, maybe it's because of sitting by the computer? I also want to learn how to do massages because i want other people to experience to joy of it.
