I have gotten some questions to who I am that is posting on this blog. Well, first off that is a great question, I have spent the last 10 years searching for my true self. And unfortunately on that road I fell into the hands of anorexia, trying to work-out and eat less in a way of becoming more beautiful/popular/attractive(you name it. Let me tell you it did not work..but back to the question!
My name is Helena. And I am a swedish-american woman in her young 20's. Currently in college. Gonna become a physical therapist :-) Want to know more? Shoot me an email or check out this vid:

Portia De Rossi's Unbearable Lightness part II

If I had known what popularity my Portia de Rossi post would lead to! None of my other posts are even close to that when it comes to visits. I want to follow up that post with another picture of her recovery. I google her a lot (as well as read her book) and the fact that she has done so well boosts my self esteem every time!

First off I want to give some cred to her wonderful and inspiring book Unbearable Lightness. I have read it several times and her life-long battle with anorexia is grabbing my heart each time! Here are, yet again, some pictures of her what she looks like today, as of year 2013: I mean how GORGEOUS she is at a healthy weight!

Happy 2013!
It is a new year and a new opportunity to live a good life, full of all the energy a great life should be full of! The last decade I have spend starving myself and trying to lose more weight each year. This years resolution is to be a happier and healthier version of myself :-) The last year I have gained 40 lbs...which is like 17 kgs... and it is probably the best thing I have done so far

A couple of posts ago I showed a picture of Lizzie Miller's tummy as she posed for Glamour Magazine, a picture that rocked the fashion-world by being completely...normal! :-) And we loved it!
My tummy has always been my 'issue' and I have had many battles with it for the past 10 years, about it being too big, too pale, too doughy and I have been hurting it by not putting the food and nutrition it needs into it as well as I have been abusing laxatives. But today my tummy and I have a better relationship, so this post is a celebration to MY TUMMY:

I officially LOVE YOU! xoxo Helle
