When life gets going and it all moves too fast

Life can move so fast at times. Im entering my last and final year at college, in a months time, I'll be 22 years old, I have a job, soon I'll be a college graduate looking for a full time job and then comes loans to pay back. With all this comes anxiety and stress. For someone recovering from an eating disorder, how can you control what you can not control? Make a coping box or coping draw. Basically decorate, if you'd like, an old shoe box. Put a few things that can get your mind off "stinking thinking." FOr example, mine has a coloring book, crayons, a Buddha chanting machine, a CD of Teddy Geiger and crochet needles and a guitar pick. In the past Ive had pictures which represented scrapbooking, a book that I was reading and a latch hook needle. What helps to deter you from your issues can help you out in the long run and each persons box or draw is different.

A new direction

Im fairly new to this whole blogging world. As through previous attempts, Ive come to the conclusion that private issues should spoken outside of a journal or diary. As for the purpose of this blog, Im going to be posting how Im getting closer to my ultimate goal of being healthy. Ive struggled with anorexia and compulsive over exercising since I was 14/15. Im almost 22 and almost a college graduate. Im currently majoring in nutrition and hopefully one day I can help those struggling with eating issues to have a healthier relationship with his or her body and with food. My goal is post my everyday struggles to a point and post some of what I eat, healthy recipes and anything else that I find interesting. Currently, I've been working in  deli which has caused me to really interact with customers. I've discovered who I really am: sweet, smart, outgoing, friendly, talkative, and happy.  In my eating disorder, I was shy, quiet and afraid. Even though I have my issues and  dont eat meat, I dont mind working in a deli, Im not afraid of what I smell or touch.
