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]

My day

At the moment i am lying in bed with a 'food coma' after lots of chocolate!! haha
   I am soo tired after today!! I have had energy all day...go.go.go but once i sat down when i came home, all energy went  out of me.

I am too tired to actually write about my day. So ill just shortly summarize it, and you can see some pictures (but not from when we were working out... though i would have liked to have some!)

The day has been a mix of working out- doing aerobox - theories, practise, looking at small details while one person works out - so that you can help correct their form etc
  We had a lunch pause and continued after that. It was really good, and tomorrow we are going to go through how to be an instructor. What to think about when teaching, how to put together a workout and then actually teach others. That part i am more nervous about and know tht i will need more practise!!




Lunch while studying both economic theories and the mterial we had just recieved. A celsius to give me energy for the next 4 hours!




^^Hahah, shaky arms/hands = blurry picture!
I can say, i already have training pain in my arms and back.. No idea how i will survive tomorrow!!


On my way home i stopped in the shop to buy some chocolate covred nuts, because well, my apetite hasnt returned.... And with the amount of exercise ih ave done today i know i need lots of energy. So 250g chocolate covered nuts (all eaten up now!!), 2 types of chocolate (Ive never tried before) and a quest bar are my dessert :)

    1. I'm not sure where you got that idea? Considering that I wrote that the chocolate was my dessert? And yes I ate both dinner and lots of chocolate afterwards.
      I haven't and dont exactly write about what I eat and when.

  2. Just regarding the above comment..I'm sorry but Izzy has been looking forward to this day as she said, for a long time, and has been studying her ass of lately..so maybe a bit of positivity and support wouldnt go amiss?
    This post should inspire others to recover so they can once again enjoy a fulfilling life, not focus just on her food intake..
    Good on you Izzy! Glad you had fun! H x

  3. Izzy, i might ask you if you would say, going for a walk middle-fast for 80 minutes is okay as a form of "work-out"? i really feel like i should do a lot more today...it is ED that speaks but otherwise i am not sure i i really shouldn`t add some yoga....please hepl :

    1. 80 minutes is a LONG workout. Your ED is controlling you and you need to go against that voice. If anything you should have just walked 60 minutes instead of 80. to challenge your ED.
      I mean I have workouts of just 40/45 minutes and that IS a workout. If you just walk 20 minutes that is still exercise, it's still a workout. You dont need to do a 2 hour workout where your dripping in sweat to call it a workout. That's your ED talking. Fight back!!
