I was inspired on Twitter by @RecoveryFreedom to start thinking about “goals” I have for recovery. To me, some are more easily obtainable than others while others are repeat actions. I want to keep adding and utilize these to motivate me when I get stuck!
Go to a restaurant and do not look up the menu before I go.
Let someone else decide where to eat (not as indecisiveness, but as a way to not pre-plan.
Order something based on taste, not “health” or “calories”
Have a bulk snack in my house and not binge on it
Do not hesitate at accepting a bite from someone else’s meal
Show gratitude towards food, being able to digest it, etc.
Get the next step up from an order (chai latte instead of sugar free, etc)
Work a program for six months
Sub in other foods when getting stuck on the same foods (apple for pear, etc)
Go to Taco Bell after drinking (too funny, my boyfriend always wants this and I used to b/p after doing so)
Don’t follow a “diet” or “lifestyle choice”
Reach out to support system when struggling
Eat out for lunch at work instead of pre-packing
Saying yes to unknown social event
Reduce anxiety around social events
Eat ice cream without binging
Have ice cream in the house without binging
Eat a cookie (or two or three if you want!)
Find a gym activity you like so that it isn’t just work.
Find and maintain my natural body shape/size/weight
Mentor others in ED recovery
Educate others with my experience
Develop my relationship with my higher purpose
Make decisions not based on calories/ingredients
Make a quicker decision and leave behind the anxiety
Work towards keeping our new house ED-free
Work towards having personal trust
Find community service/group outreach
Don’t look at a label when shopping
Don’t compare calories between products
Push my boundaries and comfort level
When questioning or getting anxious, just GO FOR IT.
Eat something sweet every day.
Give thanks and gratitude daily
Say “no” more often or voice reservations
Not have my significant other worried when i go to the bathroom after eating
Not have my friends/family worried when I go to the bathroom after eating
Go to a buffet and not binge
Not think about calories when at the gym
Not be defined by my weight or have my weight derail me
