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!

  1. Try mixing a mashed banana, 1/4 cup of oats and an egg white. Put it in the microwaves for a minute, take it out and stir it and put it back in for 45 seconds. Its really nice!! You could even top in with yoghurt if you wanted to!

  2. That sounds really yummy and nutritious Melanie, will be giving it a go! My personal favorites at the moment are crumpets toasted and spread with almond butter or cream cheese. Just wondering, do you always eat snacks in the evening even if you're not hungry? How many times do you snack each day?

    1. Not so sure what crumputs are... but i'll google them :) we might have something similiar in sweden!
      Well to answer your question - im pretty much always hungry!! But on the days/evenings where im not so hungry then i dont eat a snack, or eat less dinner cus im not hungry. I follow my bodies signals, so somedays i eat like 7 meals total and other days i just about manage 4. :)

    2. crumpets are kinda hard to explain, a pretty English thing I think! They're like griddle cakes or drop scones if you know what they are, but with lots of holes in cos they have baking soda in, so you toast them and then butter them and the butter oozes through the holes... mmm delish.

  3. That sounds amazing! :) I've actually taken to putting my yoghurt in the freezer overnight to make "frozen yoghurt" and it's REALLY good! I love it! I seem to be going through a phase for frozen things these days! I've been putting everything in the freezer! Cookies, cakes, pineapple chunks, carrots, bananas, yoghurt - all so good! I'm struggling with the food thing though, running out of ideas! Haha I need help too!

  4. I like melting or putting healthy fat foods in my oatmeal/porridge. For example, dark chocolate, coconut butter, coconut oil sprinkled with a little sea salt (brings out a very nice flavor!) or grassfed butter (grass fed butter is actually a very healthy, nutritious food and I have had great experience with it) with a sprinkle of sea salt. And of COURSE - NUT BUTTER! :) all of these are very good and once you put one or two in your porridge, sprinkle with CINNAMON! :). Makes for a nice healthy breakfast that will keep you full until at LEAST mid-morning snack:)). <3

  5. Hello everybody, I’m sorry for the long post…At the moment I’m choosing what is tasty for me. The taste is very personally, but is ever interesting try new combination. My snacks are mini-meal because I’ve understood that I have to eat portions of every nutritional blocks (carbohydrates, proteins, fats, fibre, minerals+vitamins, H2O) to feel satisfied and nourished.

    Here you are my sweet and savory combos that I alternate for mid-morning (9:45 ) and mid-afternoon (15:45).
    I add to every mini-meal a large & hot mug of green tea, herbal tea or warm water with lemon. In some combo you could find coffee-milk, I add too a glass of water because coffee is deidratant.

    For the after-dinner snack (21:30), generally I’m not too hungry and I choose a piece of fruit or veggie.


    Homemade pudding topped with berries

    Hummus or other dip (lentil or pea or bean smashed) with veggies and extra virgin olive oil

    Crisp bread rye Wasa or toasted bread + Ricotta cheese and strawberries

    Parfait (plain yogurt + muslei + fruit + seeds)

    Toasted cinnamon raisin bread topped with sliced banana, coffee + milk

    Hard-boiled eggs with whole-grain crackers and veggies

    Homemade apple strudel or other homemade cake

    Celery & carrot sticks with cottage cheese

    Dark chocolate & coffee +milk

    Toasted bread topped with Nutella and sliced apple

    Pears & cheese (Philadelphia Kraft)

    Apple & natural peanut putter

    Mini Tuna Sandwich + cherry tomatoes+ diced cucumbers

    Cracker + quark with smashed fruit (blueberries/ apricot/ peach/ananas…)

    Shredded carrots & green pepper with hard quark and sunflowers seeds

    Wasa or bread topped with natural sesam butter (Tahini) + veggies or fruit

    Rice Cake with tomato, basil leaves & mozzarella

    Smashed Chickpea & Avocado Salad Sandwich

    Wasa, quality ham, cucumber slices

    Coffee and milk + banana (or other fruit)+ Leibniz Butter Biscuits
