Bananaland!

Hello guys and welcome to BananaBuilding!

My name is Ria and this is my journey on becoming the best version of myself! My journey to fitness, health, self love and happiness. 

Wanna join me?

One of my New Year's resolutions was to finally set myself

free from a demon who has been haunting me for 

quite a while now. For many years, I've struggled 

with eating disorders and mental health issues. 

With much effort, I managed 

to help myself get through this hell and slowly started loving my body the way it was and working on a healthier way of living. Something beyond looks. I wanted recovery. No, I needed, recovery. I needed to get up, fight and win. Win my greatest enemy, my very own self.

I'm not going to lie to you. It was anything but easy with many ups and downs.

Sometimes, there still are moments where I feel low and insecure. Moments where those eating disorder thoughts still run marathons inside my head, trying to steal control. But all you have to do is to

learn how to ignore those thoughts 

and keep going. These voices can only affect you if you let them and this applies to everything and everyone. 

So here I am, today. Thankful to my past for making me a stronger person, ready to embrace and face what's yet to come. Hoping to share my story and inspire others to recover and find their own way to self-love. Sounds impossible, I know. But hey, even the word 'impossible', if seen the right way, says <<I'm possible>>! it's all a matter of perspective! ;) 

If I did it, then so can you!

In this blog, I will be sharing my life stories, experiences, ideas and lifestyle, hoping to inspire at least one person to save their own precious life, because believe it or not, your life is precious. If you would like to follow me on this journey to a mental & physical recovery tune in for weekly posts, with nutrition, fitness and health advice. 

And keep in mind just one thing. Beauty starts inside your head, not in the mirror!
xoxo, Ria!
