I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting, and it always stings to be reminded of just how bad I let things get - even more so when, at the time, I really could not see it at the time. I couldn’t accept that I was unwell at all, and I didn’t want to believe that things were as bad as they were. I saw a professional a couple of days ago who hasn’t seen me since I was really poorly, and they told me that I look well, in comparison to how unwell I looked when I last saw them. I know I harp on about my journey but I am incredibly proud of myself for what I’ve achieved. I’ve officially made it past 4 weeks laxative free, I’m a good 6 weeks purge free and I’m continuing to eat well and have restored my weight fully (and accepting that I may naturally gain a little over that too). It’s been a long road to recovery, and it’s not always straightforward, but I’m doing well. There are days when I want to resort back to my old ways, but just looking at how broken I was on the 2nd photo reminds me that I never want to be back there again and my heart breaks to think about how incredibly hopeless I once was. I’m not sure if the eating disorder will ever fully disappear BUT I am finally back to a point where it’s been locked away in a cage in the back of my mind. I know it’s still there, and sometimes it’ll rattle the bars of that cage to gain my attention, but I finally feel able to ignore it and get on with my life! 🥰 #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthsurvivor #mentalwellness #itsokaynottobeokay #depression #eatingdisorderrecovery #edrecovery #bodyimage #whatdoesntkillyou #thisgirlcan #strongerthanyouthink #wellbeingjourney #wellbeingwarrior #selfcare #selflovejourney #adultingishard #studentnurseuk #domesticviolenceawareness #domesticviolencesurvivor #holdontohope #domesticabuseawareness #recoveryjourney #laxativeabuserecovery #eatingdisordersurvivor #recoveryisworthit #edrecovery #recoveryhope #strength #eatingdisorderhope

After the longest 9 months, today I walked out of Eating Disorder Services for the last time as a patient with a smile on my face as I have been discharged 🥳 6 months ago, I didn’t think that recovery was an option for me. I believed that I would be stuck forever and that I would just have to settle for a life half lived until it did irreparable damage, or killed me. Except that wasn’t true, and that was yet another lie that the eating disorder told me to keep me trapped. My life ground to a halt and I watched everything I had worked so hard for crumble right in front of me but I felt powerless, like I was trapped behind a glass screen and couldn’t do anything but watch my life fall apart. I’ve still got a little way to to, but I know that I am strong enough and capable enough to do this now. In January, I made the choice to give life one more chance - give recovery my all and see what happens. Worst case scenario, I could always crawl back to the eating disorder. I didn’t want to believe that recovery would work because staying stuck felt safer, but I’ve proved the eating disorder wrong and I am coming out the other side. I owe a very big thank you to a lot of people in my life who didn’t give up on me, and didn’t let me give up on myself. From my beautiful housemates, and best friends, who have had to go through this with me, my wonderful work colleagues who have become friends for life, the beautiful friends both near and far that have cheered me on, and to my therapist who did not give up trying to help me, and didn’t let me give up either - I could not have done this alone. I don’t often say this, but I am incredibly proud of what I have achieved, and I cannot wait to make up for lost time and enjoy being the real Kaj - eating disorder out the way 🥰

As a now ex-runner, one of my biggest driving forces to get better was to return to a sport that I once loved. Running gave me freedom, peace and power. However, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking recently. I toyed with the idea of returning to running again, but have decided that now isn’t the right time and I’m not sure I ever will return. Whilst running had its benefits, mentally and physically, ultimately my relationship quite quickly can become toxic and sometimes does more harm than good. What starts as a positive can often become obsessive and harmful. Feeling free and strong becomes a chore and forced, worried more about how many miles run and how many calories burnt. Throughout treatment, one of my goals was always to go back to running, but the further in recovery I get, the more I realise that perhaps it isn’t the sport for me - and that is okay. Perhaps one day I will be able to maintain a healthy relationship with running again, but that time isn’t now and I must do everything in my power to safeguard myself and my recovery, and that means not returning to running. Running will always be there if in future I feel ready, but I’m okay without it for now - that, to me, shows real growth 🏃🏽♀️ #mentalhealth #itsokaynottobeokay #depression #eatingdisorderrecovery #edrecovery #bodyimage #whatdoesntkillyou #thisgirlcan #strongerthanyouthink #runner #runnergirl #running #fitness #fitnessjourney #wellbeingjourney #selfcare #selflovejourney #adultingishard #studentnurseuk #domesticviolenceawareness #domesticviolencesurvivor #holdontohope #domesticabuseawareness #recoveryjourney #laxativeabuserecovery #eatingdisordersurvivor #recoveryisworthit #recoveryhope #eatingdisorderhope #poplarrunningclub

Available on Freevee and peacock An armored car is robbed by three men. A passing police officer and one of the robbers exchange fire. The robber is Paulie. In a flashback we follow him and his closest friend, Brian, as they grow up together in South Boston. They're tough guys, thugs, doing jobs for the local boss and chaffing to do more. Paulie's the leader. Brian drinks too much and free bases, ignoring his wife and two young boys. Life-changing events lead him to try to go straight, look for work, take what comes his way, and go to A.A. meetings. He struggles. Paulie shows him the plans for the armored car job. Will they do it? "I am who I am," Brian tells his wife.

I don’t have that many “fear foods” but peanut butter is one of them and it absolutely terrifies me. Until this week, I’d managed to avoid it for an embarrassingly long time. And for what? To make the ED happier? I know I LOVE peanut butter, so what do we do? We challenge those fears 🥜 I decided to bite the bullet tonight and have PB on toast for evening snack (big love to M&S and their banana and maple syrup flavoured PB). After the first bite, my head tried to convince me that I didn’t like it. But I know that’s a load of rubbish - I DO like peanut butter, and I DID enjoy it. I’ve honestly realised just how ridiculous ED logic is - my fear foods make zero sense, so what better way to get over those fears than by tackling them head on?! My beautiful housemate made a very good suggestion of challenging fear foods once a week until I’m at a point where I’m comfortable and not avoiding foods that I genuinely like, but don’t have out of fears so watch this space. Definitely in my healing era right now and it feels like life is slowly slotting itself back into place. Recovery isn’t always easy and plain sailing, I know I’ve still got plenty of work to do but it’s certainly getting easier and certainly worth it 🫶🏽 #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthsurvivor #mentalwellness #itsokaynottobeokay #depression #eatingdisorderrecovery #edrecovery #bodyimage #whatdoesntkillyou #thisgirlcan #strongerthanyouthink #wellbeingjourney #wellbeingwarrior #selfcare #selflovejourney #adultingishard #studentnurseuk #domesticviolenceawareness #domesticviolencesurvivor #holdontohope #domesticabuseawareness #recoveryjourney #laxativeabuserecovery #eatingdisordersurvivor #recoveryisworthit #edrecovery #recoveryhope #eatingdisorderhope #fearfood #fearfoodchallenge

Definitely worthy of a place on my feed 💉💐🫶🏽 Today marks 1 whole week free of laxatives 🥳. I have abused laxatives again for nearly 2.5 years, and for the most part I have been in the double digits in terms of the number I’ve taken every single day. I can pretty much say that in the last 2 and a bit years, I’ve only had a handful of laxative free days so to have managed a full week without is something I never thought I would achieve, and I have no intention of going back to them. I can safely say that, for me, that worst part of my illness is laxative abuse. Something that isn’t really spoken about very much, and something I found so embarrassing and shameful, yet it is definitely thing I hate most about this illness. Laxative withdrawal is no joke. It’s painful, it’s uncomfortable and it totally messes with body image. I have been so bloated and my body feels so sore (most likely from a little bit of water retention). However, it is worth it because it means one step closer to having my life back, and feeling like Kaj again 🫶🏽 #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthsurvivor #mentalwellness #itsokaynottobeokay #depression #eatingdisorderrecovery #edrecovery #bodyimage #whatdoesntkillyou #thisgirlcan #strongerthanyouthink #wellbeingjourney #wellbeingwarrior #selfcare #selflovejourney #adultingishard #studentnurseuk #domesticviolenceawareness #domesticviolencesurvivor #holdontohope #domesticabuseawareness #recoveryjourney #laxativeabuserecovery #eatingdisordersurvivor #recoveryisworthit #edrecovery #recoveryhope #strength #eatingdisorderhope

Discharge from ED clinic is on the horizon and I couldn’t be happier - approximately 3 weeks and counting 🥳! If I could go back and talk to the version of myself on the left who was so broken and consumed by her eating disorder, I would tell her that she’s going to be okay and to keep holding on because there is a beautiful life waiting for her beyond the eating disorder. I wasted so many months avoiding and fighting recovery, until I made the decision in February to throw myself in and see what happens. I was so apprehensive and did not want to believe that recovery was possible for me because staying stuck felt “safer” and familiar - I spent so long too afraid to allow myself to let go and commit to healing. For so long, my eating disorder felt like a safety blanket that protected me from all the demons I wanted to hide from, it helped me to numb and control how I felt. Except in attempting to numb the pain, it also numbed every other aspect of my life. I became a shell of myself and I stopped being able to recognise who I was anymore. I lost the warmth in my smile and light in my eyes -I lost myself and feared I’d never get myself back again. Giving recovery one last real shot was like being thrown one last lifeline, if I didn’t do it now then I don’t think I ever would. And my goodness, it paid off. I’m by no means recovered. I’ve got a long way to go and I fear that I’ll never fully get rid of the eating disorder voice and thoughts, they will always be lingering in the back of mind, but I know I have the tools and the strength to push through those until they have little to no bearing on my life. I am finally getting my life back again, and I am so ready to live 🥰
This powerful quote speaks to resilience and the ability to rise above adversity. It suggests that despite attempts to suppress or silence us, we have the inherent strength and potential to grow and flourish. Like seeds buried beneath the soil, we may face challenges and setbacks, but these experiences only serve to nourish our growth and eventual emergence into something greater. It’s a reminder that hardships can be catalysts for transformation, leading us to bloom into our fullest potential. So, let us embrace our inner resilience and continue to thrive, even in the face of adversity. Grow and Bloom like the flower you are. #stronger #comeback #dontcallitacomeback #plantseeds #seedsplanted #blackmalemodel #blackmaleactor #codyfox #tribetalker #whatdoesntkillyou #whatdoesntkillyoumakesyoustronger

Some bisqued (once-fired) pieces, washed and slowly drying, before being glazed and fired in the big gas kiln. It’s one of those weeks when I’m wishing they would dry quite a bit faster, but the whole process is just not one that can be successfully rushed.

The. Last. Couple. Weeks! OMG!! The last couple of weeks have been torture! What started as…what I thought was a silly little cold…turned into full-blown Covid! My ignorance thinking people didn’t get Covid anymore after getting a million booster shots (yes…an exaggeration as I had the recommended four)…yet making it worse I gave it to my BFF (aka…twin sister)! What was supposed to be a relaxing Friday Night Girls Night turned into a full week of pain! We were sick and hurting for over a week! She and I are, now, on the mends…slowly recovering and “comparing notes” on how “The Vid” is vacating our bodies!!! lol (too much information for IG lol). You have to appreciate there is always someone there through the good and the bad. This is just a reminder that no matter how terrible you feel…for that period of time (what may seem like forever)…you have to find the humour and comfort in it! In every situation you may be going through. Find that friend. Find that odd, friendly coworker. Find your sister or brother. Find anyone to help your day brighter when it’s feeling dark.

Throwing it back to the last time I wore an Indian outfit 💖 I was out shopping this afternoon, minding my own business in the queue at the supermarket when an older man in front of me turned around and made a joke in relation to my ethnicity. He said “I’ve got your favourite here, look!” as he pointed to his ready meal curries 🙄 It’s VERY rare that I never have anything to say, but I was honestly speechless and did not know what to say back. In fairness, it wasn’t meant maliciously and I don’t think the gentleman realised that what he said could be offensive, but I’ve been thinking about it all day. I’m very fortunate that I’ve never experienced much racism in my life, but one thing I got told a lot at school (considering my secondary school was not very diverse and I was definitely a minority) is the assumption that I must love curry and spicy food because of the colour of my skin and I HATE it. If so approached a quite person and said “you must really love a Sunday roast or fish and chips because you’re white!”, I’m sure it wouldn’t be received very well, so why is it any different because I am from an ethnic minority background? I know it’s not the end of the world, and it wasn’t meant in a nasty way, but it’s stuck with me all day. I am not the colour of my skin, and whilst my ethnicity and heritage make up a part of who I am, there is far more to me than what you see by looking at me. #mentalhealth #mentalwellness #itsokaynottobeokay #depression #eatingdisorderrecovery #edrecovery #bodyimage #whatdoesntkillyou #thisgirlcan #strongerthanyouthink #runner #runnergirl #running #fitnessjourney #wellbeingjourney #wellbeingwarrior #selfcare #selflovejourney #adultingishard #iamenough #studentnurse #studentnurseuk #placement #nursingstudent #ethnicbackground #racismstillexists #ethnicdiversity #skincolordoesntmatter #indian #heritage

In Cali for club. Due to weather and flight cancellations that resulted in some kids not getting here yet, the coaches strategically shifted players so all teams could play yesterday. Olivia's team had eleven total. No subs. 80 min of running. Olivia played defensive mid, (new position), and did great! 2-2 draw. Back out today, hopefully with more players! #whatdoesntkillyou #californiadreaming
"You realise, the hosts (school) will roll you out a piece of tar to create a rugby field?" hubby joked with the younger teen. Somehow the teen's not fazed. Have your children ever played a match on rough terrain? (My younger son once sat down during half time to remove all the thorns from his feet.) 😁 #teenboys #schoolsport #rugby #whatdoesntkillyou
Kender du det med, at noget går galt, men så ender det hele faktisk med at være rigtigt? Jeg lavede mit første bachelor i sommeren 2013, om Tour de France nr. 100, 🚵♀️ fik en masse fede filmoptagelser og interviews fra Frankrig og kom hjem og skulle redigere løs. Forinden havde jeg sikret mig, at jeg gerne måtte bruge optagelserne, selvom de var lavet før det officielle startskud på bachelorperioden hos 'overvejlederen' på Danmarks Medie- og Journalisthøjskole; Og blev slemt skuffet, da den vejleder, jeg blev tildelt, en højtagtet dokumentarist, sagde, at den gik altså ikke hos ham. Så... Jeg fandt cykelkilder i Danmark, tog på sensommerrundtur på en fin gammel lånt racer med en cykelklub på Amager og lavede tonsvis af nye optagelser - som også blev dømt uduelige af vejlederen. Denne gang var hans argument, at en positiv vinkel, om hvordan cykelsporten kan skabe glæde, slet ikke holdt. Nej, jeg skulle lave en dokumentar om doping. Yeah, virkelig originalt, right? På den igen, og jeg fik på lyntid produceret en habil halv time med doktorer og eksperter - men som vejleder, og censor (der var noget indenfor bilsport 🤷♀️ ) ikke syntes var værd at stemple som BESTÅET, hvilket de meddelte mig lige inden de afslutningsvis himlede med øjnene over, at jeg sagde, at jeg ikke syntes, jeg havde fået en fair behandling. Således slået til gulvet, arbejdede jeg et par måneder hos Vikargruppen Danmark, mens jeg tænkte over meningen med uddannelser. Da jeg meldte mig klar til Bachelorprojekt 2.0, sagde overvejlederen, at man kunne skrive sig på en liste, en pulje af potentielle makkere, og det gjorde jeg. Godt nok skulle man så producere flere minutter og skrive en længere rapport, men jeg gav det en chance. Heldigvis: For det var sådan, at jeg mødte verdens bedste @evabeyerwestergaard, som accepterede den halvslatne makker, hun havde fået, og sammen lavede vi to megavigtige og gennemresearchede programmer om, at hjemløse blev forceret ind i den digitale tidsalder med helt konkret at blive påduttet det daværende MitID, som de blev mere forvirrede over og bange for, end at det på nogen måde var en hjælp. Dette var i foråret 2014... >> Fortsættes i kommentarer ⬇️

Great start to the day! Went down HARD running this AM. It was on a downhill stretch just south of the Red Bridge that just happened to have the most cheese grader asphalt in our area; attempt to finish the run was futile! Thank you Holly Mounts for getting me fixed up!❤️I’ll spare everyone the detailed video of the lower hip wound that basically opens up to see bone…. 😳 #whatdoesntkillyou Voting done and at the office! Cheers!

Here is the final product of my book binding adventure. I love how all the little things come together to make this truly unique and fun yet spooky. I do recommend listening to the podcast this came from, because there were so many twists and turns that I wasn’t expecting. I bought a book binding kit because of this project, and I can’t wait to create more fun things. #Book #BookBinding #ThisAmericanLife #Podcast #WhatDoesntKillYou #ScreenPrintCover #ScreenPrinted #ThoCreations
Installed a new computer control board on my kiln today. And other than the heart-stopping moment shortly after I turned it on, when the display, in all caps, read “FAIL,” today’s episode went relatively smoothly. This is opposed to the past 10 days leading up to this point including the hours spent obsessively cleaning the membrane that connects the keypad to the electronic circuit board, and blow-drying the front of the keypad to eliminate any possible condensation on the control board. Not to mention all the time spent searching online to learn everything possible about touch pads, and circuit boards. And then the nail-biting anxiety of watching the next five days tick by while waiting for the replacement part to arrive. And now the kiln is on, and firing merrily away the pieces in the second photo. The more I work in this profession the more convinced I am that it’s not about making pretty pots and objects. It’s about weathering through the kiln breakdowns, the material fails, the inorganic chemistry you never wanted to learn, and navigating through all of the other things and people, (not least of all yourself), that stop you and get in the way of making said objects. Here’s to stubbornness and work ethic and a desire for consistency (even more than perfection) as being the actual traits needed…And really, not just in my profession, but in so many others, that are hopefully, worth the effort.

After a much needed 3 week break from therapy, I’m back in this week and I’m finally accepting that nothing will change if nothing changes. I’ve wasted too long on this illness, and now I’m being given one last opportunity to live, I’m being thrown one last lifeline. It won’t be easy and it won’t be pretty, but I know that if I don’t throw myself in at the deep end now, then I will never be free. The harsh reality is that I live a life stuck under the thumb of my eating disorder until it kills me. I’m reminding myself of my reasons why, just some of the reasons that I have to get better. A life half lived, living in survival mode, is no life. By remaining trapped, I risk losing everything I have worked so hard for and I risk losing everything I love. There is life beyond this cruel illness, but I have to fight for my life to get there. In therapy today I was asked why I am doing this, to which I replied with “to get better”. My therapist then asked me again, why I want to get better and we listed just some of my reasons and really got me to really remind myself. Recovery will be tough, but if I’ve learnt anything, it’s that I am far more capable than I think I am and I am so fortunate and so grateful to have an army of people supporting me and fighting my corner. This week the focus is on regulating my eating again, sticking a regime of 5/6 episodes of eating to get my body used to eating again, and then we can start breaking my habits of purging and laxative abuse and navigating weight restoration. It won’t be nice, it won’t be easy and it certainly won’t be pretty, but I’m being given one last shot at healing and I’d be daft to throw that away. Here’s to rediscovering who Kaj is, and here’s to finally working towards freedom because my younger self deserves to heal 🥂
