I have never quite shared this with people as much but i have had suffered with anorexia nervosa during a small portion of my life. For the longest time, food was my enemy. I was so avidly starving myself, eating only as little as ONE meal A WEEK and doing cardio twice a day. I was eventually hospitalized with a low heart rate due to my doctor’s trepidation that i would get a cardiac arrest. I was constantly in and out of hospitals while lying to my doctors and psychiatrists about how much better i felt. But i knew that after all, it wasn’t the people i was fooling around with... it was my life. My mum suffers from breast cancer ever since i was at a young age, and witnessing her struggle through chemotherapy as a child really challenged my potentiality to overcome my eating disorder as well. If she could conquer cancer, then so can i with anorexia. Fast forward to current day, I am seeking my passion through weight-lifting and by THRIVING on a vegan diet. And as a quote by Dr Phil has resonated with me ever since those starvation days, “If you want a different result, you have to choose a different behaviour.” absolutely healed me.

herbimetal OMG thank you so much for sharing your story ❤️ You have been through so much. So brave of you to overcome your eating disorder and to speak up. I have also gone through mental illness though not eating disorders. Feel free to reach out if you're interested in community and advocacy initiatives, I know a few. Lots of hugs 🤗Reply
simhazel Beautiful story, thank you for sharing 💞 I had a bad relationship with food for the longest time especially when I was depressed and it all the more did not help how I was feeling either. I fully agree on weightlifting, I only started months back it feels amazing! Reply
katherinegloria@simhazel Weightlifting really helped me express my emotions in a healthy way. I am addicted to the pain (soreness) in the gym, while seeing myself progress & getting stronger everyday. Our emotions can sometimes get the best of us but nothing in the world is ever powerful enough than our own minds! ATB to your fitness journey, seeing the results is absolutely rewarding!Reply
