Well I am on spring break vacation and right before I went on spring break, I had 6 straight days of no purging and now I am back to do it on a daily basis. I just want to go back home and get back into my routine that I am most comfortable with, but I know that I need to force myself to be able to adapt to new situations but it is just so hard to come out of your comfort zone.
Pinkpod, don't be too hard on yourself, slip-ups happen on the way to recovery, it's all about getting back on track. Take it one small step and one day at a time. I know that you can get through this successfully. Please keep sharing.
Thanks puppydoglvr. I do realize that everything isn't going to happen overnight. I just have to keep trying and not give up, which at this very moment seems very hard, but I just have to have faith that I can do it.
I think that you are so strong and I totally have faith in you. I know that you will make it through this.
Pink.....new situations and challenges are what usually can take someone back to old ways of coping (ED). Can you see this experience as a time of learning? Such as you can think about how to plan ahead to prevent this from happening. Think about how you can plan your eating and still enjoy your time away. Being too stuck in an isolated routine can be just as harmful as being 'too busy'.
This is fuel for knowledge...how can you use it as such?
I hope today finds you on a brighter level....HUGS..Jan ♥
