Hi! I'm Alex, just a girl who's passionate about oatmeal, yoga, tea, veganism, human and animal rights.

This blog consists of healthy recipes, honest REAL information that you should know about what you're putting in your body, inspiring quotes, yoga, and absolutely no negative thoughts!

I've struggled with anorexia and bulimia for about six years, and this is my journey to being a more energetic, happy, balanced, fit version of myself, and I hope that I can help and inspire all of you out there striving for this as well.

Recovery/life crap.

My Mom has no idea about my eating disorder, and the bits that she picked up on were reasons to praise me.

Recovery is impossible when the only family member you have, has her own eating problems herself.

“Nice to finally see you with a little restraint around food.”

“You’re eating again?

“You have no idea what it’s like to have self control.”

“You need to work out.”

“If you didn’t eat so much, you wouldn’t have to hide in sweaters.”

And then I cry, or get defensive, and she’ll laugh or get mad that I can’t take critisicm.

I wish I had a parent who wanted me to eat.
