No links to negative & triggering websites (sites that encourage bulimia)

	firestorm » dark_blue And I just want Mike here but he's busy. So clingy. Maybe I'll try to sleep sometime. I hope youre doing better than me! oxox 9 min ago
	firestorm » dark_blue Well, I've been food porn browsing. I'm meh. Just want chooocolate! I'm all upset about Mike and what happening (or not) in my life right now. I can't see Mike nearly as much as I want to, he's so busy, sometimes I wonder how much he really does care. This week is going to be scary, too- I have an appt with my psychiatrist (he reminds me of my dad which disturbs me), and my first gyn exam. AHHH. SCARED AS HELL. Yay for being a rape victim. =x And on top of it I can barely sleep. Sorry for ranting. But cake is screaming very loudly... 11 min ago

	Courtneyyyy14 all i can think about is ordering pizza....I NEED to get my mind off food.I'm not hungry so this thought is being caused by emotions...will not binge and purge again today. I REFUSE. 1 hour ago
	Courtneyyyy14 » nyg87 Hey I saw that you're in college too and I wanted to ask how you were able to recover for a little. School causes so much stress I am finding I have no energy to fight the urge to binge, I give-in too quickly and I'm starting to think I won't make it through the semester. Any advice you have on what you do for a good day would be really helpful! 1 hour ago

What I learned during 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.
