I'm making a promise to myself.

Jul 18, 2005 02:53

I promise to work as hard as I possibly can to continue with recovery. I will follow my meal plan, and if I purge, I will write down that I did instead of trying to hide it. If I am to be out of the house for any length of time, I will bring foods that fit into my meal plan so that I can eat what I'm supposed to, when I'm supposed to.

I WILL STOP WEIGHING MYSELF.

I will try to see myself as a beautiful person, and know that my weight isn't my identity. I will stop looking in my mirror with detest, regardless of what I see in it. I will throw out any clothes that are too small, and I will stop changing four times a day, even if I feel like I look hideously, grotesquely fat.

After I eat, I will do something to occupy my body and my mind. If and when I purge, I will not be discouraged. I will realize that the road to recovery is long and hard, and I will not be able to do it overnight.

I WILL STOP RESTRICTING.

I will realize that I must eat to live. Destructive behaviors such as RESTRICTING AND PURGING are not going to increase my quality of life. They will not help me to be happy, and they SERVE NO PURPOSE. There is no future with and eating disorder.

I will remind myself over and over again that I want to get better, and I will do everything in my power to do so. This means going to all of my appointments and listening to what they have to say. I realize that they are trained professionals, and will not tell me to do something that will harm me, or make me unhealthy or unhappy in any way.

I WILL BEAT THIS.
