A Life without Anorexia: Sunday shopping

Life without Anorexia

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

I am a generally happy girl who loves running, going to the gym and eating food!! Though my life has been very different.

I spent 5 years sick with anorexia nervosia & purging tendencies & over exercising. I was depressed and self harmed. I spent 2 years in different treatment centres.

After alot of struggles, lots of ups and downs, suicide attempts, tears, anxiety, panic and never thinking i would be healthy.

I am now declared healthy from anorexia nervosia.

I have been blogging for 4 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 am happy and healthy and living my life. Going to school, meeting friends and trying to find myself in this world.

I write about my daily life, but also try to write posts about how it was when i was sick, advice and tips.

I am open and friendly, so dont be scared about writing a post or sending me an email at: [email protected]

Helllooo :)

Today has been a really good day!! I started my morning with a walk.... which turned into quite a long walk. I had only planned to walk my normal route around the lake, but while i was out, i just had so much energy, Daisy was running loose and had loads of energy so i continued walking and walked the longer route!!!
Its getting alot colder day by day... and it doesnt help that i didnt have any gloves with me :/
But so far, theres no snow and im hoping that there wont be any snow this year....

When i got home i began with some school work.. just a few final details. And that was my studying for the day ;)
After lunch my parents took Daisy out for another long walk... (She is soo tired now!) And then we drove out to a large shopping gallery, as there were a few things which i wanted to get....ie sports clothes.
I hate shopping, and just avoid. I feel i dont have time or money for it... (I spend my money on questbars, celsius, food and sports clothes -_-')

But as my birthday is in 6 days time (Oh my gosh!! Eeeek!) I felt i wanted to buy a present for myself.... which ive never actually done for myself!
And after trying numerous things, i found 3 items which i loved and fitted me (almost all of the clothes were in L or XL... .:/)

And yess.... i must admit, im a Nike Addict!!! XD

My mum hates when i buy sports clothes.... because i never buy any normal clothes. But she dragged me with her to the 'normal' clothes shops.

Though i found nothing... apart from a black dress which i immediately fell in love with... but of course, they didnt have in my size.

So im going to have a look in another shop in town and see if they have my size!!

It would be my birthday outfit ;)

My mum brought my several different things to try on... jackets, tops, dresses... but none of them suited me Or in the right size (we went to outlets.. so the sizes are always larger.. ).

Tomorrow as i start school later, im hoping to go to the stores and hopefully find the the dress in the right size!!! ^_^
