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!

Documentary

I am shocked.... speechless. I barely know what to write. I just think that this is awful... this is our society. Where 6 year olds think they are fat and want to lose weight, and are weighing themselves after eating.
  When a 9 year old goes to the gym to burn off calories.... Its just wrong. Kids should be kids. They're still growing, they havent developed fully. These kids seem to think they're bellies are fat... when infac tthey're not. Most children have stick out bellies. But its not fat.
   It makes me so sad.... But when i think about it, i mean i was 11/12 years old when my ED began, and i stopped eating my lunches and breakfast, and that soon devleoped into a hardcore eating disorder.

I have had some people email/comment and tell me that they have kids, but are still sick. Please, please, please think of your children. Dont pass on your bad behaviours, your habits to your children.
   Kids pick up on habits, and they will notice what you do and that will influence them.



^^Part 1, go to youtube to see the rest

Our society is completely sick. So many people are sick, whether they're overweight, underweight, over exercising, depressed, anxiety issues, overdosing or drinking too much...
   And instead of trying to fix the problem.... fix the issues, people are just sort of looking away. Thinking that if they dont see the problem, there is no problem.
  People need to be more aware about mental disorders, and EDs (which are mental disorders). I mean people are making jokes about eating disorders, self harm, depression etc But thats just uneducated people, who dont know better.
  But people need to become more aware. And we need to fix societys ideal body. The way society body shames both women and men. Telling us that we need to look a certain way to be perfect, to be accepted. But thats not true.
   Things need to change in society.

  3. I think for one of your posts you should have your mom or sister's perspective on how you're doing, or how they coped when you were sick.

    1. A while ago i actually thought about doing this... that my readers would ask questions... what they wanted to know. And then i'd film and ask my mum and/or sister :) But then i thought it was a silly idea, as i didnt think anyone would have any questions to ask my mum or sister...
      But i might do it... Depends on whether my mum or sister are willing to answer questions and be on video ;)

  5. I don't mean to judge, sorry, I realize it's totally Izzy's blog. It'd just be a different perspective.
