A Little Introduction

My name is Sydney Cooper and I want to help everyone to a happier and healthier life!

Thought I'd give you a little introduction to myself.
I am totally new to this whole blogging malarky so please excuse my awfulness.
I've been wanting to start a blog for so long now and I thought now is the time to do so, I basically want to write about my recovery and the obstacles I am overcoming in my journey to recovery. I see so many instagram accounts and blogs from girls in recovery from anorexia and they are so inspirational so I thought I'd get out my laptop and set out on creating a lovely blog!

I hope my words can inspire and educate all my lovely readers, also giving me a little entertainment and something to keep my mind busy, enjoy!

meal plans and minnie maud

oh the dreaded word, meal plan. for anyone that doesn't know what a meal plan is then let me explain it to you, you basically have to eat around 6 times a day, breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, tea and supper. When you're in hospital well in my case its certain foods, if you wanted a chocolate bar you couldn't have one, you had to have what was on the snack list, which was awful. like so bland, like a cup of milk, i don't like milk. but when you are at home and recovering the meal plans are so much more flexible, you can pick your own snacks and everything and its just so much more freeing! meal plans move up in calories (eugh i hate that word), you start off on a starter meal plan, which is basically designed to avoid re-feeding syndrome. its tiny amounts of food little and often, which is terrifying for someone just starting recovery. when you move on with recovery it becomes a lot easier, your meal plans become increased or decreased due to how ...

About me and my life x

I don't really know what to write about anymore, I love writing. I find I can express myself in ways I can't do physically. But, I guess I never want to talk about me? I try and pick a topic and write about it, but what if I want to just blab on about my day and how the lettuce on my sandwich was soggy for lunch. (World war problems soggy lettuce btw) So this is going to be about me, read on if you want, if not then I understand that my life doesn't interest you. (And my soggy lettuce) I'm happy. Sometimes I think I'm not, I talk myself into feeling like I'm unsuccessful in everything I set out to do. I put myself down before I've had a chance to work myself up! I guess that is a flaw of mine. I'm on medication for depression and I have been for just over 2 years. I'm at a point or was were I thought about bringing down my dosage, so I did, (doctors orders of course) and but by bit my happiness started to slide away. (I'd like to point out...

body image is nothing

i think the hardest thing for me about recovery is the dreaded body image. waking up and seeing yourself a completely different person to what you actually look like. but that is such bull crap. even at my lowest weight i never saw myself for what i truly looked like. fitting into tiny jeans and tops and still thinking i was overweight? its stupid really how messed up our minds get! its so unrealistic. the worst part is how we hate ourselves. why shouldn't we love ourselves? our flaws, our imperfections, our quirks, our personalities. some people look at us and see someone who seeks knowledge and happiness, is beautiful, has life behind their eyes. so why can't we see it that way? one day you can wake up and look in the mirror and absolutely love what you see, but then an hour later you see someone completely different staring back at you. its annoying and i'm fed up of it. so ive been trying this new trick, to just not listen to what my mind tells me. how to...
