A Recovered Life is all about living an authentic, fulfilling life. It's about rising to meet challenges and overcoming obstacles. It's about hope. It's about courage. It's about recovery. ♥

I'm an eating disorder activist who believes in FULL recovery. Why? Because it's real, and I'm proof.

After too many years of anorexia and depression, I turned my life around and am now living a life I wasn't sure was possible. I want to help you do this too.

Anonymous asked: I found your blog today and I love it! I've been struggling with eating forever it seems. Growing up I had binge problems...I was stage II obese. I went on a diet when i was 17 and lost almost all of it. It's become a problem lately. I haven't had a 2000 calorie day in about a year. I have about 300-500 almost daily. I run all the time & when I eat I feel so awful. I started to purge recently and I'm scaring myself. I never thought it would get this bad. I feel so awful about everything.

I’m scared for you.  Most of our self-destructive actions stem from self-hatred.  Does that ring true for you?  Eating disorders feed on self-hatred. Are you getting help?  You don’t have to live this way.  Recovery is always an option ♥
