I am Ilona, a 20-year old Maltese young lady. I am currently recovering from various eating disorders. I have been suffering from anorexia/bulimia/emotional eating along with clinical depression for the past 12 years and after 10 years I have reached out for help. It was a difficult step for me to take, but I knew that it was the best option for me.
I am a kids' athletics' coach, an advanced diploma in sports management student, a daughter, a sister, a girlfriend, a nerd, a good cook, a fashion lover, a writer, a perfectionist, a hygiene-freak, a big spender and an early riser I am NOT my eating disorder. I used to think that once but through cognitive behavioural therapy, I am getting to know my real self and I have never ever thought that I possess all these qualities!
I have created this blog as a means of self-therapy and also as a tool which other eating disorder sufferers can use to start or continue their recovery.All posts are based on my own research, experience and thoughts. I am by no means a psychologist neither a medical doctor. All I can offer is support and knowledge not medical or clinical advice.
Do not give up. The grass is always greener when away from the eating disorder. :)
