I used to often wonder if RECOVERY WAS possible but now, I believe it is and with me is happening and I tell you, there is no better feeling than this.

Do YOU personally believe there is such a thing as recovery?

What do YOU see as recovering in your own personal circumstances?

If you look back into when it started, can you say you have made progress?

If you could have any dream come true regarding your life and how you live it, what would it be?

Do you have a personal quote that you think helps you stay positive?

Hope you can answer if you feel able to

Do YOU personally believe there is such a thing as recovery? YES I DO. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT EVER BEING COMPLETELY FREE OF THE THOUGHTS BUT I AM HAPPY TO SAY I AM RECOVERING AND IT FEELS LIKE THE BURDENS HAVE BEEN LIFTED.

What do YOU see as recovering in your own personal circumstances? NOT WEIGHING FOR THE PAST 3 WEEKS AT HOME CONSIDERING I DID IT NEARLY EVERYDAY FOR 7 YEARS....MAJOR BREAKTHRU. PART OF RECOVERING WAS REVEALING ALL TO MY MUM 2 WEEKS AGO......SHE CRIED....WHAT A RELIEF. I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER AND WE ARE TALKING A LOT MORE. HELPING OTHERS IS PART OF MY RECOVERY. I WANT TO BE THERE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING THRU SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES COS I KNOW THERE IS NOTHING MORE PAINFUL THAT FEELING LIKE YOUR WORLD IS CRUMBLING AROUND YOU.

If you look back into when it started, can you say you have made progress? OH YES, BIG STYLE. I WAS READING MY FIRST POST ON HERE AND WHAT A CHANGE.........I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

If you could have any dream come true regarding your life and how you live it, what would it be? NEVER TO HAVE GONE DOWN THE ROAD I WENT DOWN. I DIDN'T PLAN IT,NO ONE EVER DOES BUT I WENT THERE AND NOW, I CAN USE MY EXPERIENCES TO HELP OTHERS.........

Do you have a personal quote that you think helps you stay positive? LIVE FOR TODAY AS THERE MAY BE NO TOMORROW

Do YOU personally believe there is such a thing as recovery?

Yes, I believe there is.

What do YOU see as recovering in your own personal circumstances?

Not counting calories, eating food for nourishment/fuel, eating when I am hungry and stopping when I am full, NOT thinking about food and calories all day long, loving my body and myself exactly as it is, in short - FREEDOM!

If you look back into when it started, can you say you have made progress?

Absolutely - most of it in the last 2 1/2 years

If you could have any dream come true regarding your life and how you live it, what would it be?

Work by choice only, have time and money to travel several times year, have my own recovery ministry, help people with nutritional healing and exercise for free, honor God first and foremost in all that I do.

Do you have a personal quote that you think helps you stay positive?


I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
