See Your Success

JUST FOR TODAY:  Create a "movie in your mind" of the weight loss or eating disorder success you truly desire.

Whether you are aware of it or not, you create an image in your mind of anything you do before you do it.  You see yourself having a bowl of cereal with strawberries and milk, and then you find yourself enjoying your breakfast.  You see yourself binge eating on the entire box of cereal, and then you find yourself in the middle of a binge.  Which of these two scenarios would you prefer?  Be aware of the "movies in your mind," and pause to create a mental picture of success.  If you become aware of a desire to binge, purge, or  engage in any eating disorder behavior, pause to notice the image you have in your mind.  Next, create a new image which offers a healthy alternative.  See this image as clearly as you can, and see yourself acting on your healthy choice.  See your success and it is yours!
