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]

I am a runner.

Over the past few weeks, when ive been at the gym, ive gotten compliments from others, either about how hard im working, how far ive run or how good i look.
  I actually feel my best when i'm at the gym... i love pulling on my training shorts and runners. Tying my hair in a pony tail, not caring if i have make up or not, or if i look good.
 Im at the gym, to do my thing. To work at my own pace, do what i want to do.
  I feel in my element at the gym!!
Today after i had been running, i got asked if i was a runner, i just smiled and said yeah.. I mean, i am a runner... maybe not a proffessional one who wins all the races.. but i run,.... i'm a runner.
  He then said, Yeah i can see... No idea what that means? It can be a good thing, like... someone who isnt a runner couldnt run as fast or as long as you, or it could be.... you have such big calves, no normal person has that size calves....
  Im going for the first one!! Haha,...^
^^I want this!!!^^

I also went to circuit training. My whole body felt like jelly afterwards.. heh..
  havent felt that exhausted in a while.

And of course my after work out snack, banana and almonds!! Perfect thing!!!

  1. He DEFINITELY meant it as a compliment. No doubt. Probably meaning that you're a great runner and also you have the lean, toned body of a runner :) Does not mean big calves ALL :D

    Lol you're making me feel bad, I was meant to be going to the gym today for my weight lifting routine. But I'm really stressing about exam results tomorrow as it decides on which uni i go to, so instead I've been sat at home all day up since 5:00 am reading up on what to do if i don't get the grades etc..ahhh!

    But well done for the run ^_^ It's great that you've found something you truly enjoy! x

    1. hah, thank you :) Leaned and toned...? :)
      Its best that you stay home and study then... no point in feeling even more stressed. What i hate most is when im already stressed, or know i have to be somewhere at a certain time... and i go to the gym before hand.... i can never do my best at the gym when im stressed cus im thinking of other things, or just want to get it over and done with...

      I love running, its the best thing i know!! Do you have any sport/exercise that you love? :)
