Life without Anorexia

My motto is
'Dont let the sadness of your past & the fear of your future ruin the happiness of your present'

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!

Confidence.

Confidence which is something i lack, but it is very important. To be confident in yourself, and what you are doing. When you are confident, you appear happier, more social and more knowing.

Though i lack confidence and self esteem... but on somedays, i can fake confidence!

What i love doing in the morning, when i have time is, to straighten my hair, pick out a really nice outfit (one which i feel confident in), spend extra time on my make up. And make myself feel good, because when i feel good. In my body and what im wearing, then i will go to school/or anywhere, and just like ooze confidence. Because i feel good.
  And its on those days, the days that i feel good. Where things are easier... and i even get more attention :) (hehe... male attention ;) )
 
But on the days where i feel awful, feel low, and feel fat (though that is usually due to bloating/ or anxiety & stress) thats when i just have my hair in a bun/pony tail. Pull on any clothes and try to hide. I just want to hide and not be in public. Its then that i become quite and resigned, and people actually notice the difference in me!!!

My motto is, fake it till you make it!! When i fake confidence, i.e dressing up, making myself feel good, i fake more confident then i actually am!!!


And i feel so much better, even iwhen im just faking confidence!!!
