anorexia nervosaGoing through recovery was and is the most difficult thing I have ever had to do in my life. The amount of physical and mental changes I was about to overcome and face I could never have properly been prepared for. However, while it is the hardest thing I have had to overcome it […]
I often ask myself, “Why is it that we self-sabotage?” After a lot of pondering it makes me think, because like the saying “Old Habits die hard.” Once, we get into a pattern we are familiar with or we consider “works” we do the repeated action over and over again. I started this blog to […]
