	Wishesupon » eggshell good for tea, tea is very healthy, heartwarming, see it as a comfy couch you can lean on, make other things more dependable then bingeing. go hug your teddybear, disconnect the happiness you find in food into something else which wouldn't harm you ( i soud so wise, don't i) .. keep up. 2 min ago
	eggshell » Wishesupon yes; I want to so much but I've managed to stop so far. I keep going into the kitchen (I live with my boyfriend and his parents) and my boyfriends dad is there. i think if he wasn't in the kitchen i would have started a binge; but I didnt want to eat in front of him so I just made myself a cup of tea instead. i don't want to end my day kneeled in front of the toilet. I hate it so much! you're right; we are better than this. we're going to keep fighting!! xxx 17 min ago
	Wishesupon » eggshell I know the desire is horrible, but WANTING = not neccessarily DOING it right???? Fight fight and dance with it, make it smaller then you, you are way tooooo good then b/p-ing!! HUG! 33 min ago
	Wishesupon » eggshell Aaaah your are so sweet!! ps, your pm made my day!! And so happy to hear about you and your bf XXX - 34 min ago
	eggshell » Wishesupon just wanted to send a hug your way. Keep strong; stay happy. It's so hard trying to not eat everything; if you feel so bad, that's ok; it's just a tiny blip in the overall big picture of you doing so well recently! lots of love xxx 41 min ago
	tkhelpmeXo » nyg87 im glad being at home was so helpful thats awesome. :/ yet again though im back to square one i thought i was ready to recover but i dont feel like im strong enough for any of this anymore. 42 min ago

What I learned during recovery

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

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.
