Hey, I'm Rachel

Hey, 

If anyone ever stumbles upon this blog, hey there :)

My name is Rachel. I'm sixteen (almost 17πŸ˜ƒ) and I live in Sydney, Australia. 

I've been struggling with anorexia nervosa for about a year now. It's exhausting πŸ˜’ and being really thin does not make life better 😒 but I'm not going to let it ruin the rest of my life, there's to many awesome things to experience πŸ˜ƒ

I was always a really relaxed, fun-loving, social kid and I never used to be really worried about how I looked particularly but I have always been a pretty high achiever; in school, sport and pretty much everything else.πŸ“πŸŽΉπŸ‰

The school I go to is also very competitive, and everyone strives to not only be good, because we all are, but to be the best.πŸ‘“πŸ“–πŸ†

I guess the pressure did get to me although I wasn't really aware of it happening. 

I'm starting this blog as a way of telling my story, venting my feelings and hopefully helping others on the way.☀️

I won't just be posting about my eating disorder, and after a while I will probably change my blog name, but this is just a starting point.

My goal is to be a happy, healthy teenager and to live life to the full! ☀️
