I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I have got better recently. I first read a book called "Overcoming Binge-Eating" by Dr Christopher G. Fairburn. It was brilliant and helped a great deal.
The second thing was that I found a great church.
I understand completely if that isn't for you, but if not, well I would definitely buy that book. Hope this helps. Thinking of you. xx
What kind of list are you on? Can you see a doctor and get a referal to a therapist? That helps me and church. I just became an active Christian 3 years ago and it feels wonderful. That way you could even talk to a pastor if you can't afford therapy. If your partner has an issue with church, go by yourself. That's how I started and then one day my husband started coming along.
I think "life without ED" is a great book for bulimics.
I'm on a waiting list for CBT, but i've been on it for nearly a year and a half so am losing patience with it a bit now... i've just started seeing a counsellor, but she doesn't deal directly with food, and it's that that i am getting pretty fed up with and longing to change.
yes, i DO want to recover - more now than ever - as i have a little girl to get better for, but it's having the support to do and the right support. i really think this CBT treatment i'm waiting for will help, but i don't know how much longer i have to wait.
