This is a place of encouragement, a place to talk about body image, a place for feeling beautiful. No matter what you look like, what color, what gender, what size or however many "flaws", healthy, not healthy, working on it, we are all human, we all deserve to be happy, we all deserve to love ourselves. With this blog you will see all kinds of REAL bodies, REAL people, REAL stories.

Well hello! Nicceee to meet all you lovely ladies. My name is Sarah, I’m a nursing student, coffee-addict, mountain climber, backpacker, sushi-enthusiast, barefooter, aromatherapist, dancer, gluten-free freak, Messianic Jew, glitter-lover, and I’ve chosen life.
When I find myself in the position I am right now, I make the intentional choice to live.
This very moment, I’ve eaten more today than I really wanted to. My stomach feels full and I know it looks bloated, even though I woke up with a flat stomach this morning and I’m avoiding looking in the mirror at the moment.
You see, I’m currently recovering from bulimia. I’ve struggled with eating disorders for 11 years. Hospitals, ruined relationships, wasted money, self-hatred, the whole nine yards.
What about that sounds like life to you?
This particular relapse has been since August and I have been trying to choose life since December. The longest I’ve gone without purging is a week but I’m not discouraged.
Because I know that the second I rid myself of the food, I am letting my disease live my life for me.
I refuse. This life is mine. :) To dance, to backpack, to climb mountains, to see the world, to love and receive love.
Come join me in my life journey and I’ll join you in yours:
