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!

Bodycombat

As already mentioned several times today i went to my first BodyCombat class.
I had an idea of what to expect, and well... i wasnt so sure i would survive the whole class, or even enjoy it.
Because i have the coordination of an elephant - i am quite a stiff person (even if i can do the splits, and am quite flexible... but thats not the same thing.)
And i can be quite slow with picking up choreography.
But i was expecting the worst - thinkin i would completely fail.

But it was actually fun!!
It was alot of punches and kicks. Fast movement and many steps, but i managed to keep up. And when i messed up, i just laughed and ended up doing my own thing several times!
The class was 60 minutes, but it went quick!!
The last 15 minutes were painful for my arms!!

But i am definitely going to keep going to the class, as its going to help tone/build muscle on my arms and its great core work (for me who hates doing core exercises!) & its fun, and high intensity!!
And it will also help me with choreography and to loosen up... 
Even though i run and go for powerwalks, its still the same movements, and with BodyCombat it will give me more of a flow!!
And of course, it gives me something else - to mix up my routine! And trying new things is always fun :)

So all positive things!
And a reminder to you all, dont be scared to try new things!! Or try new classes/hobbies. I mean you never know until you try, and you just might find that you like it!!!
Dont be scared of being the newbie, because everybody has to to be a newbie once!!
