The Pain of Eating Disorders and Obesity

JUST FOR TODAY:  Take the detour to your new life!  Let "what's not working" be your guide.

Be very aware of how you feel after restricting, binge eating or purging.  There may be comfort in these behaviors, but ask yourself, what isn't so comfortable?  What isn't working about your behaviors?  What negative consequences are you noticing?  Hair loss, tooth sensitivity, joint pain, edema, diabetes... the list goes on.  Listen to your symptoms.  Listen to your body.  Listen to your Self.  Take the detour to your new life by leaving your old behaviors behind.
