As her body changed, Amanda lost track of who she was. Slowly, through recovery from anorexia, Amanda found a way to reconnect to herself and to her body.
Amanda Li
Amanda Li is simply a normal eighteen-year-old girl residing in Minnesota wishing to share her personal mental health recovery story. Unsurprisingly, this moment of crisis emerged during her vulnerable middle school days, and it really did clash with her love for baking (which she is proud to say she kept that, and not anorexia). Today, Amanda has matured and recognized that beauty of just...living, and not in a constant state of devaluing everything into a caloric number. Nevertheless, Amanda hopes that her story resonates with several readers and touches upon many people that struggled or is struggling through the same thing. She hopes it inspires readers to reach for brighter, lovelier things that grow on the path to recovery.
