	greeneyes » voilet_crystal hi. i'm 19 almost 20. i was miserably depressed in high school. restricting during the day bingeing at night. sweets, brownies, are my ultimate weakness. I also come from a good family, dysfucntional but have very loving parents and a sister. i hated high school. its not always going to be your best years. i like to think the best is yet to come. I'm here if you want to talk. 1 hour ago
	greeneyes » RiseUp i'm so glad for you! when do you go? i imagine it will be a different experience now that you really want to recover. take in everything. ask for support when you need it. 1 hour ago
	c8lin89 » caitlin1988 oh wow i totally know what you mean about the alcohol! its like with bulimia it started ebcause i wanted to numb everything and find an escape but i started soo young. then in high school i def started using drinking and drugs to escape as well especially since my ED was making me soo depressed. it was just one ugly cycle! i still do it i have to admit. i hate being sober and sitting with my thoughts. that sounds awful haa but i guess we are all insane otherwise we wouldnt be here haa. how have you been holdin up lately? and how your bps?? 2 hours ago
	c8lin89 » catherine all the time! not just some days ... ugh! soo whats up with your therapy?? are in you individual therapy and group? i need to get my shit straightened out too but honestly i have NO time. im alreayd working and in school its impossible right now! hopefully i can find someone over the summer when im at home which is when its the worst and the hardest im just still nervous : / but i guess relieved knowing my parents are supporting me now. well hope you had a great day!! keep it up love xoxo <3 <3 <3 2 hours ago
	c8lin89 » catherine hey babe!!! im doin well im finally back at school after my shitty spring break and have gotten back on track with structured eating and exercising routine!! thank godddd spring break was making me lose it. it was nearly impossible not to bp with so much free time and food!! im just hoping to keep this up the rest of this week!! but hows your structured eating been going and how long has it been since you bped? ahh i know its soo hard!! i feel so good but after a few days i cant take it anymore and i always give in! i just wanna eat normally 2 hours ago

What I learned during recovery

Submitted by mmb on March 3, 2010 - 4:47pm

recovery

PLAN, PLAN, PLAN IN ADVANCE. Plan what you are going to eat during your day. What are you going to do if you are in a situation that triggers b/p. Thinking all the time about recovery is part of the eating disorder. I need to focus on the real life instead. Don’t trust yourself. If I know I always binge during an X situation (like being alone at home around 5pm), I need to go out at that time or find another activity. I am not strong enough to just be at home by myself and act normally. If I eat those cookies because I am feeling lonely they won’t make my friends appear. Trust yourself, and your body. Tell yourself you are able to do it. Tell yourself that you are not going to gain one pound because you ate a piece of cheesecake. God is an important part of my recovery If I eat tons of food, all the time, I will gain weight. I can’t have cheesecake and hamburger and fries everyday, in every meal, but I can have them once in a while. I purge not only because of my emotions, but it is an easy way to control my weight. I love food.
