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]

Ambrosia cake

Here is the recipe to the Ambrosia cake i made (which i actually LOVE!!! my new favourite.) I made it with lemon instead of orange, and didnt actually use the glacyr... But still tasted amazing! Definitely a hit!

ingredients
250 g margarine
4 eggs
3 cup granulated sugar
Grated zest of 1 orange/lemon
Juice of 1 orange/lemon
4 ½ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

glaze:
4 cups powdered sugar
3-4 tbsp water
150 g candied orange peel

Do this

Grease a baking tray 25x30 cm.

Melt the butter and allow to cool. Beat eggs and sugar fluffy. Add the orange juice, zest and margarine. Stir in the flour and baking powder into the mixture.

Pour batter into pan and bake about 35 minutes at 160 degrees (test with a stick). Let the cake cool.

Then make the frosting and spread on cake when cooled.

Sprinkle with the candied orange peel.
