I guess i got this inspiration from the recent discussion ' what i overcame today' well i was thinking we could share tips of how we managed to stop, control or of we managed to acheive things.

Recently i have been stopping before doing something and thinking doi really want to carry this through and i have managed to refrain from being sick few times cos of this:)

What helps you guys??

It doesn't always necessarily work,but when i want to control a binge or overcome something I stop and count to one hundred and ask myself how i will feel about it when I have done it. Will it be worth it? Will it take me forward or hold me back? Try to think about it as if you were a second party. What advice would you give to others?

Talking to myself...if I really really try I can will myself not to BP. I have been successful for one day with this. When people are around it makes it more difficult for me so it's better when I'm not alone.
