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]

Sister time

Hello there :)
  Finally the weekend?! :) Happy Friday i guess i should say!

Today i spent most of the day just sort of.... being? haha. Browsing through my study stuff, memorising things slowly. Scrolling through social media. Eating 2 questbars... because i felt like it!! :) haha


  When my sister came home we began talking about different things and then she came up with lots of suggestions of things to do..... go study in a library. Go for a walk.Go buy ice cream. Go for a picnic. Go to town. Go to the cinema.
  And all honesty, i didnt know what to do... i couldnt decide. I wanted to do something, but at the same time i didnt want to do anything at all. You know that feeling?
  I felt like i needed to study, but my sister reminded me exactly what you guys have been telling me. That i need to learn to take a break. That mentally stressing myself out wont be good. That i need to learn to take a pause, to relax. So then i decided we should take the boat across the lake and go for a walk. And that was exactly what we did.


 
We walked around a park, and tried to figure out where we were. We went into a shop where i bought a celsius and then we went back to the park and we sat down in the sun. Then i decided to test my knowledge about all the economic theories - which is what i have been studying and have my test on. And it helped to talk about it. I find that that is one of the best ways to learn - for me anyway. And i relaised what i need to focus on more etc etc



We sat there for a whjile before we took the boat back home, and now both tired and waiting for our parents to come home so we can start making tacos!! :)
 
This was what i needed. To get out of my own head, to have a little sister bonding time. To sit in a park, in the sun and just be.... just breathe in other words! haha
    And i feel more relaxed and at ease with my studying. Out in nature with friends/family is what we all need sometimes!! :)

How have you spent your Friday? :)

  1. could you do a post about your studies; plans and so on? :) and I agree bout that taking a break from everything (school, work, sports and so on) makes you a lot more better in it, when you descide to take a break or do something else for a while :) sounds such a nice day you had! :)
