#anorexiarecovery
Happy Monday everybody! After the nice weekend spent outside in great weather, I feel so recharged for this new week ahead. Seriously cannot wait for summer to come, my body being “beach ready” or not. Here is me now. At my heaviest in 10 years. Out of my comfort zone. Having my bad days and good days. Feeling fat one day, second day feeling just fine. More and more having good days, feeling good both on the inside and outside. Learning to embrace this new figure. More fuller, and as well muscular. Curves and murves. Feeling strong. Feeling more confident. And feeling healthy. Respecting myself to eat well, sleep well and exercise. I needed to post this for myself, to look at my belly that has always been my weak spot. Not this time, not anymore. #finnishgirl #selfie #longhair #blonde #crophoodie #ootd #fitgirls #fitgirl #gymgirl #inkedlifters #fitchick #girlswholift #girlswithmuscle #belly #inked #inkgram #wristtattoo #fitspo #fitinspiration #fitfam #mondaymotivation #chronicillness #anorexiarecovery #murves

#TransformationTuesday I just felt I had to share this since I got my Facebook memories today and I had been so happy 3 yrs ago when I had done 20kg on leg press. It really made me stop for a moment and think about this path I’ve been on for a bit over 3yrs now. So much has happened. My body has changed so much. My whole mindset has changed so much. My eating habits have changed a lot (I still love and eat bread tho’, haha). It has been bumpy ride with setbacks, but nothing worth having comes easy. My body is strongest it has ever been (and at the same time my lungs are shittiest they have ever been). I might not have six pack that you can see from 2 kilometers away, but it doesn’t matter to me. I have strong legs, strong arms, strong mind, I feel happy in my body and that matters to me the most. Happy Tuesday guys! ✌#finnishgirl #selfie #mirrorselfie #longhair #progress #leggains #bootygainz #glutes #glutegainz #fitchicks #fitgirls #transformation #gymgirl #girlswholift #girlswhotrain #girlswhosquat #girlswithmuscle #effyourbeautystandards #fitfam #fitspo #fitness #motivation #anorexiarecovery #chronicillnesswarrior

Being strongest version of myself, both physically and mentally. Looking back, seeing how far I’ve come, seeing the long rocky road travelled so far, taking pride in being the person I am today. Journey isn’t over yet, it has only just begun. Happy where I am right now and who I am, excited where I am going.
Stay strong fam! ❤

You didn’t care when you saw me crying that time, crying over the thoughts running through my head that I didn’t understand. You didn’t care when people noticed those marks on my arms, “you’re fine“, you said. “You’re Jasmine“. You didn’t care when my weight began to drop, you didn’t even utter a word. You didn’t care when my mood began to change, I became more and more distant and you just let…
Eating Disorder Awareness Week – please keep your underweight photos to yourself
Today marks the beginning of Eating Disorder Awareness Week 2016, and this week is very important in raising awareness for each eating disorder and the devastating effects that it has on people’s lives. However, every year, in an attempt to raise awareness, some of those who have recovered (or are in recovery) post photos of themselves at low weights, in comparison to a photograph of them at the…
Tomorrow is my 19th birthday and I keep being disappointed with myself because I’m going to be 19 years old and yet I still let this disorder dictate my life. 19 years old and yet I still have to be checked on to make sure I’ve eaten. 19 years old and still not a whole lot better than I was last year. But when I stopped thinking about all that’s still wrong with me, I began to realise all that I…
One of the biggest problems I face in my life is feeling unwanted. I feel unwanted so often that it’s gotten to a point where I don’t actually bother talking to anybody any more because I just assume that they hate me and don’t want to talk to me. It has ruined so many friendships for me, and will probably ruin my current relationship at some point – it is already something which causes…
I’ve been in recovery for a year so why aren’t I fixed yet?
My timehop this morning reminded me how it was exactly a year ago today that I asked my mum if I could see someone about my eating disorder. I had come clean to her a few weeks before about how much I was struggling, but I was still in complete denial that I needed help. So if this marks one year of recovery, then why aren’t I fixed yet? As I’ve said in a previous post, it did take a while for me…
Periods. Menstruation. The curse. Whatever you want to call it, it’s the same pain in the backside (or front side I suppose?) that the female gender complain about each month. Learning about it in sex education in junior school, and hearing the complaints of other girls, I thought that the worst thing about it would be the dreaded cramps or that I’d literally be bleeding out of my vagina but when…
My anorexia ruined my life at school, and yet my teachers didn’t help me
(I’m placing a potential trigger warning on this post due to some of the subjects that are mentioned) Whilst doing a presentation during my tutorial at college about why mental illnesses aren’t adjectives (it was similar to a previous blog post of mine) I got into a debate with a teaching assistant who was present about the lack of support for mental illness at school, and it got me thinking…
Why weight is a symptom, NOT an illness and why BMI is a load of rubbish
After the recent fashion shows still consisting of some severely underweight looking girls on the catwalk, it has recently been a hot topic in the news about whether a minimum BMI should be introduced for cat walk shows. This raises another issue; is BMI really that important? Is BMI really the ultimate measurement to determine how ill somebody is? For my GCSE biology coursework we had to pick a…
The problem with mental health communities (that I’ve found)
Recently there have been many news reports reporting the suicides of young people as a result of the cyber bullying they have faced online. This in itself is an absolute abomination and should not be stood for, but imagine if this was occuring in a community which you thought was there to help you? My problems with my mental health can only be described as like a roller coaster ride; there have…
It takes a level of self love, dedication, and determination to live your greatest life. But guess what? Its oh so worth it.⠀

Just wanna clear something up…
Recovering from an eating disorder is NOT synonymous with “getting fit.”
Recovery is about loving yourself for more than your body, not finding a “healthier” way to “perfect” your body.
This is something that needs to be shared. Mental disorders are serious. They aren’t something to joke about. They hurt people, they ruin lives, they are so hard. Be sensitive to other people’s struggles.
