From this moment on, anorexia will not define or stop me from living my life.
This picture really spoke to me. It made me laugh at first, being upside down and whatnot… but then I really thought about the quote. It’s really quite simple: change my thoughts about food:
I’m trying to start this semester fresh. I just moved back into my apartment with my 3 lovely roommates whom I love to death. I look forward to spending more time with them, and less time isolated in my bedroom by myself, eating out of boredom and shame. I want balance, and so I shall have it!
Have a great night anyone… and please help me get this thing rolling :)

I finally decided to get over my fears and get a haircut that people would actually notice, and let me tell you: I feel like a new person! The looks on people’s faces and their reactions/compliments really brightened my day. I’d say the biggest lesson I learned from this is that taking a leap of faith can really be a positive thing.
So, if you have something that you want to do or try or whatever: go for it :) Change is good, even if it is scary.
Basically, I’m starting this to help motivate me to keep moving forward in my recovery from anorexia. I am a 22-year-old college senior, on my way to graduate school for Art Therapy. My family means the most to me, followed closely by my best friends and my boyfriend; without them I wouldn’t be the young woman I am now, nor would I be this far along in getting myself back to health. I’m new at this Tumblr/blog thing, so bear with me as I adjust and make this thing as interesting and conversation-provoking as possible. Please feel free to ask me any questions or provide any thoughts!
This picture always makes me smile. Love him, weird or not <3
