I haven’t written a new blog entry in a few years. Last a posted was when I found out I was pregnant. I now have a beautiful daughter named Ava and she’s 3.5 years old.

My recovery from anorexia was really shaky before my positive pregnancy test and that day was probably the scariest day for my eating disorder. I made a vow to my unborn child that I would recover for her. I have now been in recovery for 4 years! My recovery has been far from perfect but on days my ED voice is loud I focus on self care.
Self care is something that is just for me. I deserve to take care of myself as much as I take care of my family!
These days self care looks like cooking (I found a passion for this last year), skin care, hair, beauty, and many other things that make me feel good and happy!

I am hoping to reunite with all of you and continue to update my journey of all things motherhood and recovery! I miss you guys!
If y’all have any questions please reach out!! I try to get back to everyone the same day. I still have my Instagram account but it’s now about more than just anorexia. @j0anneeeee 💋
