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.

"Pain is an opportunity for you to grow, stretching beyond normal boundaries. It sometimes takes on a life of its own, but you have the power within you to embrace pain as a friend. It always leads to growth and resolution. Next time pain occurs, ask yourself a question. Will I be stronger when the pain subsides? The answer is YES!"

"The supreme act of forgiveness is when you can forgive yourself for all the wounds you’ve created in your own life. Forgiveness is an act of self-love. When you forgive yourself, self-acceptance begins and self-love grows."
