I thought I would write a post and just update everyone on how I have been going lately. I haven’t written a personal post for a long time and although I feel guilty for not posting more often, regular blogging just doesn’t feel like the right thing for me anymore. I miss some aspects of blogging […]

Develop A Solid Support System Spend time with people who support your recovery and avoid those who don’t (including on social media). Reaching out to friends, family, therapists, support groups, or online communities can be a great source of encouragement. Having people who can offer support during – or even anticipate – challenging times can […]

Well here we are, I’m in my final week of pregnancy! I cannot believe how time has flown! But this is me! I’m feeling great still, fielding a lot of texts from loved ones checking in, and just doing the final last minute things before baby arrives…any day now! Part of me seriously thought that […]

For example, anorexia may be telling them that they’ve eaten too much and they are going to gain lots of weight so eating disorder compensation […]

Tonight I watched a documentary on anorexia and found myself thinking about my time whilst I was sick. I try not to think about what life was like for me when I was at the grips of Anorexia as it was so terrorizing and painful but at the same time I think it is so […]

Hello friends! And welcome to my “I’ve-been-cooking-my-brains-out-preparing-postpartum-freezer-meals-and-I-have-no-energy-to-cook-dinner” recipe! But seriously, all jokes aside, yesterday I made THE MOST DELICIOUS dinner, and it was a meal that literally made itself!

Having had anorexia from 15 […]
