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!

You can

I think one of the most common things we tell ourselves is  that we can't. We can't do this or can't do that. How often do we actually tell ourselves that we can? We are more willing to tell ourselves that we can't do something, whether it's to get up 20 minutes earlier or run that extra km or even to gain weight or lose weight. We give up to early and just accept defeat.

Too long I spent telling myself I can't gain weight or muscles. But that was just an excuse - because of course you can. You can if you want to.
 My body has a difficult time gaining weight, but that's no excuse.
 I can gain weight... i was just scared to.

You have to put in the effort and stop telling yourself that you can't. Because you can.

You can recover. Stop telling yourself that you cant, because you can. If i could, so can you!!

You know what, one of my favourite quotes and mottos is 'I can I will' Its something which i often tell myself if i feel that i cant do something. Because you know what... i can. And i should stop being scared of things and just do them.

    Yes i can !! I is one of my every day motto!!!

    Since the beginning of the year i haven't binged/purged once !! I thought i would never be able to stop this...but i did it and now i do not feel the need to binge and purge as i did before !!

    i also fixed me the challenge to put on 1 kilo each month ! January I did it...but this month i did not :-(
    i even lost the little kilo i took last month...so for end of march i HAVE to put on 3 kilos !!

    I do not loose faith in me ! and still tell me every morning that i can do it, that i did it and can still do it.

    NEVER GIVE UP ! NEVER SURRENDER !!
    I have declared WAR !! and I will be the winning one !!
