I am blessed

bellastella's picture

I have decided to make a quick list, similar to the one I make every Thanksgiving. What am I thankful for? I think it is more appropriate to consider what I am blessed with, since I am so incredibly lucky it goes beyond simply being thankful for it. So here it goes:

I am blessed to have a family that supports me in all my decisions, in whatever I choose to do. They worry about me and want me to get well.

I am blessed to have friends whom I talked to last night about my bulimia, and they offered me unconditional support. They told me that they will eat with me, help me to remember I am worthy of good things in life, that size doesn't matter, and that a piece of bread will NOT make me fat.

And I am blessed to have found this support group. I could not have started recovery without finding this site, and I sure wouldn't have been able to become healthy again.

I am blessed:)

Thinking positive...

Yeah, my mom is great:) Not to say that our family doesn't have issues lol. It's very difficult for me to be around them for an extended period of time. But I know they love me.

I'm glad my blog helped you remember the positive things in your life:) I think that helps alot... And it's easy to forget, and concentrate on the dark thoughts we have. And then resort to bulimia. So yeah, we all have to remember what we have, the good in our lives, and not concentrate on the problems, sadness and anxiety that surrounds us! xox

Richy's Recovery Tips

Physical hunger builds gradually and goes away when full. Emotional hunger develops suddenly, hits above the neck (e.g., a "taste" for ice cream) and persists despite fullness.
