Eating Disorders And Animal Companions

JUST FOR TODAY:  Value and appreciate your canine, feline or other animal companions!  They are here to help you heal!

If you have a dog or cat, horse or bird, or any animal companions, pause to notice how they are here to help you overcome your eating disorder or weight problem.  They depend on you for their basic needs – shelter, food and water.  You give this to them – what do you give to your Self?  Your animal companions also need extra attention.  You take them for walks, play with them, or interact in some way.  You give this to them – what do you give to your Self?  If your animal companions are injured, you attend to their needs.  You help them heal.  You give this to them – what do you give to your Self?  Reflect upon how you help your animal companions, and how they are here to help you heal.
