Hey Everybody,

  My name is Kristen.  I am 24 years old and live in B.C. Canada.  I studied some university level psychology courses.  One day, I hope to major in psychology.  I am a recovering anorexic and have been for about 3 years.  I began my recovery process when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter, Amira. Ever since then I have been eating healthy and any thoughts of starving myself I control through my faith in God.   Anytime I am feeling like giving up hope I go to God in prayer and it honestly does help.  Right now I am a stay at home mom and also a wife to my husband, Tanvir.   The journey through recovery has had its ups and downs but I don't regret overcoming my struggle with ED's at all.  In a way, I feel like I have lost out on my teenage years because I wasted them starving myself away. Now that I am eating healthy and my mind is fresh I can enjoy life and wish I had enjoyed those years I wasted. There is so much I would have liked to have done. I live with my husband in a 2 bedroom apartment.  We got married on May 8th 2004. My husband is a very supportive and loving man. He's also from Bangledash. I also had a baby girl. Her name is Amira Rezwana Alam. She was born on April 18th 2005 at 10:33am and weighed 7lbs 14oz.
