I'm reading a self-help book called "Telling ED No!".
It's basically a book that helps you work through your thoughts as to
why you have disordered eating. I definitely do. At the end of each
chapter, there are reflection questions which help you overcome your
eating disorder. I am going to post those here.
Self judgement is harsh but seems to go hand in hand with Ed. When
and if you find that you're judging yourself, which of the following
tools might you use to work through the negative thoughts: affirmations,
journaling chatting with supports, drawing? To see yourself in a
positive, nonjudgmental light, write three positive statements about
yourself.
1.) I believe that I am a good friend. I only have a few friends whom I
would consider great friend, but I feel that I am there for them when
they need me. I feel like that is a good personality trait to have and
I'm glad that I FEEL like I am a good friend.
2.) Even though I am greatly overweight, I like the way my face/head
looks. Yes, it could be a bit thinner, but I like my hair and my eyes
and my nose and mouth. I like the symmetry of it. This is one of my
favorite things about myself.
3.) I am very imaginative. Sometimes I have dreams so vivid and strange
that I wake up saying, "Where did that come from?!?" Other times I have
dreams that are like movies. I love to write and, because of one of
these dreams (and the help of my cousin Heather), I am currently writing
a story.
