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]

On the go all day!

I did not think that today would be as long as it was.... It feels like its just kept going and going....
  Last night i fell asleep at 9pm (was so tired) but then ended up waking up at 3am feeling super hungry (hadnt eaten a night snack as i had fallen asleep) so went up to eat food, and then  i felt awake.... and started answering a few emails. Hahah, so if you have gotten a reply at 3am in the morning from me, you know why ;) Im not an insomniac, and amnt usually awake that early!
 I then managed to half fall asleep but just tossed and turned and finally got up at 6.30 am.... and then after eating breakfast and getting ready and seeing that i had lots of time i did the final touches to my last and final assignment for this term and sent it in!! Woo- Hoo, now im free from all school work for this school year!!!

I have had lots of energy today, felt alot better than the last few tired days, so that has felt great!
   I got to school and met my friends and we first had a barbeque.. i was worried that there wouldnt be any vegetarian food, or that it would be hot dogs (as i dont even eat the quorn hot dogs) but there were veggies burgers, which atleast were edible! Which is the most important :)
  And then we proceeded to make our way into town where the boat was.

There were lots of awards and speeches given before the students all got free time.... One of my friends had brought vegemite and bread with her as she wanted us all to try it... and i can say, it is REALLY disgusting... My opinion anyway ;) hahaha. I cant even explain the taste, but afterwards all i could smell and taste was vegemite. We also did the jellybean challenge, where you eat a jellybean and dont know what flavour it is... Which then escalted to, eating different jellybean flavours with vegemite on it!! haha XD
   We even got a few teachers to join the challenge ;)


The boat trip was 2 hours and passed by quickly. After that i walked a while with my friends before me and one of my friends were going to go pick up our start packets (i.e numbers, tops etc) for the colour run! But as we didnt really know where the place was it was alot of walking back and forth... but finally we found it!
  And im super excited!! ^_^ I am going to show you my start kit on the day... i think ;) hahah. Dont want to ruin it :)


And then finally i was on my way home.... as we stood on the train (as it was rush hour) i felt how all my energy was leaving my body... i had been on the go for several hours, and it was nearing 6 hours since i last ate :/ (I didnt think i would be gone for so long so hadnt brought a snack ) but as i waited for the bus i went into the health shop near by and bought myself a questbar, and i can say Thank god for questbars!! They save the day and my Hangry mood!!! haha
  And once i got home i of course made myself a bigger snack consisting of chicken sandwich & quark with nuts!!!

Now im going to try answer a few emails... And have some me & relaxing time!!

  6. Haha Izzy, in Australia Vegemite is a staple element of every kitchen. WE LOVE IT, usually on toast with lots of butter. Just don’t spread as you would Nutella, less is more in this case.

    1. My friend who brought it wit her is Australian and she loves it :) But that's like caviar, not the black fancy stuff. But here in Sweden you can buy it in tubes, and i love it! But it's a very swedish thing.... i can imagine it's like vegemite, some love it and some hate it :)

    1. I'm sure mixed with something it might taste better :) It's a bit of an acquired taste.... hahha :)
      I hope you're having a good time in Australia!

  9. You absolutely MUST try vegemite with avocado!!! Its one of my favourite snacks. Or try it will grilled cheese. In Australia they have cheesy-mite scrolls which are delicious. You can also mix it with cream cheese if you find the taste to strong. The key to enjoying vegemite is to only apply a thin spread. However, I'm a bit weird and will eat it off the spoon sometimes!

  10. I love vegemite so it's not just an Australian thing! I guess you either love it or hate it like marmite though! :)
