About Me
- About Me: I am a recovering anorexic with bulimic tendencies, and I have been saved by the grace of God from my self destruction. I am also pulling off the chains of self loathing, abuse, depression, shame, self-injury, and everything that goes along with them. But I know these things don't have to rule me and I'm doing everything I can to break free. This is my journey to recovery, unhindered. Feel free to leave me comments and prayer requests, share your journey, or get a glimpse of mine. Here's to learning how to live. <3
