What's normal eating?
Many people with bulimia have simply forgotten what a normal eating is. This includes understanding normal portion size, normal eating pace and feelings of hunger and satiety that normal eaters experience.
The key is to re-discover your body's natural ability to tell you when you are truly hungry and when you are satisfied. To get this great ability back, you have to start generating awareness and re-learning the art of normal eating.

Before you start...
Learning about eating with awareness is like discovering a key to unlock the secret behind weight management!
I no longer count calories or fat grams. I now fully trust my body and know exactly what it wants and when. If I'm hungry I eat and when I'm satisfied I know when to stop. I never restrict any food because it's fattening or 'bad'. I done away with 'good' and 'bad' food years ago and eat whatever takes my fancy.
Using your intuition is so simple, trust me. Once you get the hang of it you will never again return to using binging and purging or dieting as a means to control your weight.
Simple guidelines to successBe yourself means doing what you want, achieving your goals not living up to others expectations because this is your life. Tune out the little voice that says "What will so-and-so think."

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.
