Put on some music really loud and jump around dancing and singing, works 90% of the time, would hate to see what I look like though but who cares lol

i watch looney toons, schooby doo, any cartoon really. listen to music. or go through some soccer drills.

OMG! I have SOOOO many! What comes to mind first is to curl up in a corner with lots ofl pillows and blankies and watch movies on my portable DVD palyer.

Love to play with play-doh and smaell it too!!

i like to watch cartoons! i also like to swing on a tire rope swing. brings me back to childhood days.

i collect disney. i have movies, music, and a bunch of other stuff. so when i was having a particularly bad day, i bought a disney coloring book. coloring helps me refocus when i want to binge. i love musicals. my ticket to instant happiness on an awful day is julie andrews musicals, disney movies,reading my bible, and listening to the music on my various recovery playlists.

i also write a lot. writing poetry helps me figure out a lot of stuff.

ahhh, so I'm seeing a big pattern of curling up with TV shows and movies...the smelling play-dough is a new one though! Never thought about it, but it DOES smell pretty good/comforting, they even made a perfume that smells like it!!!

theres so many things i do.
play with play-doh
make clay pottery
paint
dance at midnight with my boyfriend
write a short story
color
put on socks and "skate" on hardwood floors
watch LMN movies that make me cry

Thanks for starting this thread. I have hit a particular milestone for 7 seven straight and I am supposed to give myself a reward for it. But I haven't been able to think of a guilty pleasure that I would like. I guess that sounds kind of sad, but I appreciate reading about all of yours. Maybe I will get some ideas for myself.

When I was little (4-13) I used to pretend that I was delivering a baby. Like, having a baby doll between my legs and yelling "push!!!". It's so embarassing now thst I think of it. I found out that my older brother had taped me doing it once and what showing the video to all his friends. Totally embarassing. Now, when I'm upset, I listen to music and preted to be a famous singer. It's rather embarassing, but it calms me down. So thats better than nothing. :)

afireinside...I DID THE SAME THING!!! I Don't know if I actually delivered the baby, but I would put a doll in my shirt and pretend to be pregnant! I remember I always used to watch the baby shows on TV and pretend I was a mommy too...so strange!

I'm loving this thread though, you guys, I think it's helping us connect with what we need to do to beat ED and be happy! Keep it coming! xo

Lol I did that too. I also used to wrap myself up tight tight tight in blankets and pretend I'm in the womb. Its very comforting. But my guilty pleasure now is cheerleading. When I'm bored or sad I put on a ton of make up and slick back my hair and put on my fake curly pony tail and big green and sparkly gold bow and mini shorts and a sports bra and turn on cheer fm radio and dance/cheer my heart out. Some improv some routines sometimes I create whole routines like as if there's other people there. I'm such a cheer freak! Lol

I think I need to go get some Play Dough now! And the perfume too! =)
