My Story

Actually, I can

Hi! My name is Inês (but you can call me Nenas) and I'm a portuguese girl. I started this blog because I've always wanted to help others by sharing my story and my lifestyle, make them feel happy, safe, like they're not alone... Mostly, because that's what I wanted for myself.

Since I was just a baby, I was very careful with my diet, I was self-conscious of my body, felt bad for eating...

I was a victim of bullying, my family was very problematic, I had no self-esteem, perfection was a main goal for me, in school, life, friends, boyfriends, myself... Life wasn't easy, nor good most days.

By the time I turned 15, my obsession had become a lot worse, out of control I can now say. I had become anorexic. A disorder that made me lose everything, from my body, to my mind, my goals, my dreams, my friends, my boyfriend, part of my family... I had nothing, not even myself! All I gained was: lots of doctor's appointments, irrealistic fears, depression, anxiety, illnesses, hospitalizations, suicidal and self-harm behaviours... Life was pure hell and nothing seemed to work.

After a long fight, I slowly started fighting for myself and getting back up on my own feet.

It hasn't been easy, I'm still not fully recovered but I can now say I'm beyond proud of myself and all I want is to teach others, learn with them, help everyone (myself included), follow my dreams... be happy and free!

I'm fighting for myself, my goals, my dreams and my future, while hoping you're doing the same! 

Get on this journey with me...

Dearly, Nenas
