MOVING TO TORONTO | ANITA DISCOVERS LIFE

QUICK OOTD | BOOHOO CHC

My Plans For This School Year..

As you guys know I live in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. So we have a different school system here. We go to elementary school for 6 years, then high school for 5 years then we go to CEGEP for 2 years IF we want to go to university or 3years if we want to go directly to work after it.

 Anyway now that you understand our system a little bit I can start to explain…As I said before I had an eating disorder and it started during my first year of cegep. I wasn’t doing good at school and i basically failed all the classes that i took. Then came the next year where the same thing happened and the school told me to take a year to recover, so in other word to get my shit together. So I did but it also meant that I lost one more year of school. That made 3. Last school year I went back to CEGEP but my councillor told me that I still had 2 years left before university which is a big no no for me. The only way that i can go to university in less than 2 years is by not going to school at all for a minimum of a year.

 So because of all of that, my mother and I decided that it would be a good idea for me to go outside of Montreal to perfect my english before attending to the university that I choose which is an english speaking one. Our first choice was to go to San Francisco because I have 2 aunties there but I missed the inscription for the fall semester. Now we are looking for Toronto. Which is closer to home, cheaper and I have my best friend living there too. Im planning on taking some advance english classes there which are free for citizens and immigrants, finding a shared apartment and getting a job. 

Now before you ask, K and I agreed that we still want to pursuit our relationship even if it means from a distance. Im not thrilled to physically separate myself from him for a whole year but it’s something that I need to do and I know that some of you will ask why don’t I just take english classes here, well because it would count as going to class! See Quebec being the only French speaking province in Canada, french classes are the one that are free and that dont have anything to do with school. But in the rest of the country it’s english. So if I want to go to university next year, I have to not go to school at all. I really dont know if that makes any sense but wtv haha. Anyway, all of this was to say that I’m going to Toronto this year to take english classes to prepare myself for going to an english university next year! Im excited, nervous and sad at the same time because I get to change cities and to go for an adventure but I’m going to physically leave my man behind for a whole year. Don’t get me wrong he’s going to visit and I’ll do the same but it’s definitely going to be a challenge for our couple and i really hope that everything is going to work out well!

Eating disorder: My story

I’m not going to make this too long and hopefully you guys will read it. So here it is..

About 3 years ago I started my weight loss journey and I was doing pretty great. I was making amazing progress and was so happy about myself. I was 110% healthy in all aspects of my life. Then one day I ate too much..I saw on Tumblr some girls talking about it and even tho I told myself that I would never do that.. well, I did. I went into the bathroom and I made myself through up. At first I told myself that it was only for that time and that I would never do it again..but I did. It was so easy to just eat whatever i wanted without gaining weight. The only thing is that I never realized that I became addicted to it. I wasn’t gaining weight, I still lost a few pounds (around 5) but after a while I couldn't lose any more. My weight was content and no matter what I did I couldn’t lose a pound and that would depress me. 

It lasted for 2 years and when I finally decided to seek for help I was really in a bad place.My teeth were sensitive from the acid, I had zero energy to do anything, I would have panic attacks and suffer from anxiety, my hair was falling out, I would have nightmare..I was just so miserable. It took me around a year to recover. I had to go an intensive program for that but it was worth it. I’m still not completely recovered will probably never will but I’m working on it. And this is the story behind my weight gain. I gained all the weight back and to be honest I’m not so happy about that part because I’m not really dealing good with that part just yet. But then again I’m working really hard on it. I’m sharing this today because I want to help other people get over that hard moment in their life and tell them that hey friend, recovery is possible. Happiness is possible. Loving yourself IS POSSIBLE. Please seek help as soon as possible. The sooner the better you’ll feel. I guarantee you it’s worth it.

Thank you.
