Richy's Recovery Tips

Don't think in terms of "days" i.e "today is a bad day", think in terms of hours. This way, you'll be less likely to binge all day if you slip up in the morning.

	eggshell getting ready for uni; just made myself lunch; a healthy salad with balsamic vinigar and saurkraut, and a rubharb, kiwi and satsuma fruit salad. trying to pack super healthy lunches so I don't get hungry and cave in to the bad stuff in the vending machines; xxx 6 min ago
	graceismyname does not remember what happened last night... 27 min ago
	msaprilj » mmb How are you dong? I haven't been doing so well and I know it's because I have been under a tremendous amount of stress and not taking care of myself. I am going to get back on track though. As long as I stick to my structure and plan I do sooo much better. I hope you are still doing great! I'm wishing you all the very best ;-) 1 hour ago
	Wishesupon Finally awake after a full bloated night. Today I will more intuitively (not according schemes or whatever). I learned my lesson from yesterday. 1 hour ago
	SarahTravels » trixie_25 trying to implement SE? I barely even know where to start! 3 hours ago
	SarahTravels » trixie_25 Ooooh I've been to California before! A long time ago, but I absolutely loved it! Such a beautiful place :) SE is so hard to implement! I decided to try SE about a month ago, and I'm still working on it. A friend suggested the tupperware plan, and I think that might make it easier to start SE. I find that when I slip up and b/p, i feel like the whole day's ruined too, but I'm trying to take it one meal at a time. That way you don't have to wait until tomorrow to 'start again', you just have to wait til the next meal. How have you been... 3 hours 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.
