I've spent pretty much my entire life fighting eating disorders. I've been through everything from Ana to Mia and C.O.E.D.
I decided that enough is enough and I'm not going to let food control me any more. I control food. See I found this miracle thing. Eat healthy, exercise daily, get healthier and fitter, feel bloody brilliant! I spent too long feeling like crap and not realising how crap I did feel until I started getting better!
I still have a long way to go but with every day I get stronger and with every milestone I am driven to be fit, healthy and responsible for myself. I owe it to my body, I owe it to my family and most of all I owe it to me.
I am supposed to be getting a gastric band but I'm thinking I might not need one anymore. How cool would that be? It's an open option but I'm pretty sure it won't be needed because a gastric band won't get me healthy on its own. I'm the only thing or person that can do it.
No more whining. No more excuses. No more reasons why I can't. My eating disorder didn't do this to me, I did. I decided enough is enough and I kicked it in the ass.
4 months in recovery and the only time I ever have been. I've never been in this place before in my life but it's my own little Paradise :)
