i am on the recovery road. the past 6 months have been very difficult. i’ve been severely depressed, cutting myself, i stopped eating and have been diagnosed with an eating disorder which i apparently have had since i was younger and talking to my therapist and bringing up some past experiences has definitely made that clear for me, i had to take an official “leave of absence” from school because it all got so bad but i’m still working and going to therapy 2 days a week. i haven’t been in the right mindset at all and i’m trying very hard to get myself back on track and healthy again. i need to start eating healthy no matter what the thoughts in my mind are screaming at me. it’s either that or i will eventually end up in the hospital. i also need to start exercising again once i begin eating more because i’m very weak right now and this will also help my depression. so i am going to start posting on this blog more again! i hope everyone is doing well :)
if you read my “about me” section i talk about how i’ve been unhealthy in the past with how i’ve eaten and i’ve suffered from depression. well in the middle of november i began to fall back into depression and with that depression came my relapse in cutting after being clean for over a year and i began to eat less and less. i’m now going to therapy 2-3 times a week because i’m barely eating anymore and my doctor is concerned. with the way i’ve been eating i’m surprised i haven’t passed out and ended up in the hospital. nobody has really been able to put a label on anything yet but all i know is my eating habits are becoming extremely unhealthy again and i’ve begun to look at myself very negatively. i thought about deleting this blog but i don’t think i will because i need to get healthy again and this blog has motivated me and i’ve gotten so many wonderful messages on here. i will update every so often but as of right now i need to get better. i hope everyone is doing well on their journey to being healthy<3

Larabar: Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip
Why do I love these so much?
They are naturally sweetened with fruit and have minimal ingredients. (fruit, nuts and sometimes sea salt) I am a fan of all the Larabars, this flavor just so happens to be my favorite. You will be shocked at how good…

progess pic! i’m around 190 in the first one and around 135 in the second picture :)
i’m still going! 115 is my ultimate goal!
