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]

    1. Haha... naw :) its good to vary though. I eat when I'm hungry and what I'm craving. No day is the same as the day before :)

  2. This is a bit of a silly question, but I've noticed on your food diaries you'll say you had, for example, 2 sandwiches with breakfast or something. I live in the US and sandwiches are pretty exclusively a lunch thing here! And they're usually on the bigger side (although it kinda seems like all food is here...yikes!) i.e. two slices of soft bread with meat, cheese, veggies, etc between them. So are they different where you are (Ireland right?) Or do you guys just eat them more often? I have them for lunch almost every day but I've never had one for breakfast...although now I'm sorta tempted to try! xD

    like I said, sort of a silly question, but it's really interesting how different some things seem in Europe vs. the US:)

    1. Hello :)
      When i say 1 sandwich, it would be a slice of bread with like a little butter and cheese/butter and ham/caviar and egg or sometimes just avocado... whatever topping really. So a sandwich is just like a slice of bread with topping.
      Im not mcuh of a sandwich person for breakfast, just sometimes i crave it. Otherwise id usually have like 1 or two sandwiches for lunch instead!!!
      Thats here in Sweden, where im currenlty living.

      But in Ireland i used to eat a sandwich which was 2 slices of bread, with filling inbetween for lunch...:)
      I prefer baguette with filling for lunch if im going to have a 'sandwich'!! haha

      Here in Sweden, its very usual to have like a bowl of yoghurt with maybe a banana and some cereal and then 1 or two sandwiches for breakfast.... and then that would keep you going until lunch at 1 or 2... :) Its so different in each country! But i guess each individual is different aswell! :)

      And dont worry, not a stupid question!! :)
