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!

Negativity jar



^^I think this sounds great ;)  Whenever you are mean to yourself, whether you purge, skip a meal, self harm... or just think something mean towards yourself. Or even.... When your ED stops you from doing something which you want to do. I.e you're friends ask if you want to go to the cinema with them, but you say no... because you're scared that you're going to have to eat popcorn. Or when you say no to doing something, because it clashes with your ED routines/habits, even though you want to do the thing.

Just think about how much you would end up putting into the jar. It might be a motivation for you to actually stop harming yourself, and to start doing things you want to do.
   
Something that some of you might consider doing? ;)

    1. Of course it wont make you huge. You are underweight, so you DO need to gain weight. Because you binged... you might retain water. So you might bloat. But its not 'weight gain'.
      I know how it can feel to binge, and the anxiety afterwards. But you really dont need to worry. Tomorrow is a new day. But no restricting. Just because you ate lots one day, doesnt mean you cut down the next day.

      If you have anxiety, then try to do something which gets your mind off things. Like drawing/writing/going for a walk/calling a friend etc :)
      Remember eating isnt bad. And its ok to eat more one day. :)
