Choose recovery NOW.

{BLOG POST BY S}

So today I want to introduce you to this amazing girl who will be a new contributor and "second author" to this blog. She is such a fighter and never fails to inspire me. I hope you will enjoy reading her posts as much as I do. I know she is going to fit into this blog just wonderfully.
She insisted on keeping the beginning bit about me, and I just want to say a huge thank you- it really is so sweet and kind!
So without further ado, let the blog post start!

Hi Guys!

I am a new contributor to Hannah's blog. I think it is absolutely fabulous and for a fifteen year old Hannah is simply incredible and inspirational.

I too am suffering and in recovery from anorexia. I have had it since summer 2010 but it only got really very bad at the start of 2012. I have been in recovery for a while now but am super determined now.
After all this time I have finally realised, as I have been told over and over again, that a life with anorexia is NOT living!

It really is not!

No matter how much you and anorexia try to deceive yourself, there is actually no way you can live a life with anorexia. She destroys you. She takes away you personality and leaves a wrecked, barely-alive person behind. I don't mean in the sense of you not being alive because you are underweight, you are not alive because anorexia has taken control and is living your life for you. You may be a perfectly healthy weight at the moment, but do not deceive yourself. You are sick. Ana is ruining your life and you need to get it back.

I know this is a very short post and I am sorry, I will do longer ones in the future.

Over time I will tell you my story, give encouragement etc. but today I want to leave you all with one instruction...

Start taking back control NOW! Don't leave it till tomorrow, or next week, or next month. Do it now. Just do one little thing that gives Ana a kick in the face and shows her who's boss.

WELL DONE :)
Stay Strong Lovelies
