	trixie_25 » SarahTravels i like the tupperware idea.. i think i might try something like that ~ do u think people will think i'm wierd if i write the times i'm sposed eat each meal on the container?! i'm still struggling a little, i feel so bloated right now, i binged & i was totally planning on purging but i'm not going to let myself cos every time is the last time and it has to stop somewhere!! 16 min ago
	trixie_25 totally freaking out... binged but i am NOT GOING TO PURGE.... 19 min ago
	Wishesupon » so_done_with_this thank you so much for your lovely lovely comment!! i hope i just don't brag too much as this floaty floaty woman ;) and HEY! don't pick on yourself!! it's all fine, changing always comes with 'defence mechanism', but if you strive longer, you will be able to convince the 'unconcious' mechanism to give in. Go for it. I am at your back. 19 min 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.
