An eating disorder has dominated my life for 13 years, this blog is sharing the ups and downs of my recovery. I really don't want to spend any more of my life eating sugar-free jelly with chopsticks, or judging my self worth by my thigh circumference.

Dear Lola,
It’s hard for me to start this letter, mostly because in my mind I am trying to write it to myself, my younger self, my self 3 years ago now. But in my head, my younger Self, you are nothing but an abstract concept, a thing of curiosity. A...
It’s wrong.
The last post.
I just read it back and realised it couldn’t have actually happened like that.
Like when you see a digital watch in a costume drama. Mr Darcy poncing about in a top hat and Swatch. It couldn’t have happened like that. Or...
It’s a Golf GTI. No, I don’t happen to know what year it is, the car I mean, the year on the calendar is 1999, but the car is timeless. It’s grey and has four wheels, two doors and an electric sunroof. What? OK, fine. Three doors if you include the...

The best thing about Lola's blog is not just her humor, wit and writing style but her ability to convey the range of human nature in an enchanting format. She will make you laugh but also feel her despair as the bravely navigates the world of recovery with humor and hope.
Ah, Lola Snow ... this blog makes me chuckle and it highlights that a blog about mental health can also be deeply entertaining. I admire Lola for her stance on recovery and her strength in following that.

Amazing that someone can make you laugh so hard and then feel like crying for her within the same minute. I'm very impressed by the person behind the blog.
