So it always worried me when I would be reading someone's blog and then they suddenly stopped writing. I would wonder if they died in some tragic way or if the diet finally got them. I felt it was important to eventually return to this blog and let anyone who cared know how my life has turned out.
I've just been reading over my old posts and wow. What a journey I've been on over the past year. I think I really found myself over the past year. As hard as it's been I don't think I would change a thing.
Let me start by saying that I am recovered (for the most part) from my ED. For me, recovery at this point means that I always eat at least 1200 calories and I don't punish myself for eating more or overeating. I don't purge and I exercise regularly. = )
In fact I am running in my first 5k this weekend! I'm the strongest I've ever been and the healthiest!
Let me now say that I didn't think this was possible a few months ago even. I never thought I would see the day when I wasn't obsessed with calories and I sure as hell didn't think I'd ever see the day where I ran for fun...let alone payedddd to run in a race. haha
I have alot more to say with regards to my recovery and my current standing, but if I could put my turning point down to one thing it would be this video.

I really hope anyone struggling will watch this video and let everything sink in.
My lovely followers...I hope you are happy and healthy. = )
I'll discuss this more when I have a bit more time!
