In Bulimia Recovery? – Do You Want To Beat Bulimia?


 

Bulimia Recovery? – Do You Want To Beat Bulimia?

Are you ready to stop binging & purging and experience bulimia recovery? About half of us give up on our goals during the first week; so if you set a goal to beat bulimia, leave binging and purging in the past and experience bulimia recovery just read on to learn how to stay motivated.

Let’s say, “stop binge eating” is your desired goal. However, if this is how you describe your goal, then you will find it hard to achieve because it does not focus on the positive or anything tangible. Focusing on the positive is the way to bulimia recovery.

Reframe your goal by answering these questions:
– What would you like to accomplish today?
– Who can assist you in dealing with this difficulty?
– If a miracle happened tonight, and tomorrow you didn’t
have this problem, how would you know?
– What would let you know?

Now develop your goal using the steps below. This will help you stay on the path to bulimia recovery.

MAKE YOUR GOAL SMART!

Step 1 – “S” is for Specific.

Notice what you are thinking and feeling just before a binging episode.

Are you always hungry just before a binge takes place? If so decide to embrace a goal like “eat 3 healthy meals a day at 3 to 4 hour intervals.”

What does this really mean? It means to insure you obtain the recommended daily amount of nutrients, which are essential for a healthy functioning body: eat three meals per day – leaving 3 to 4 hours between each main meal. This is the way to frame a Specific goal that will lead you to stop binging and start your bulimia recovery.

Step 2 – “M” is for Measurable

Keep track of your progress. To do this; make your goal Measurable. Your goal “eat 3 healthy meals at 3 hour intervals” can be measured very easily.

Step 3 – “A” is for Achievable.

When you break your goal down into small tasks your goal becomes more Achievable!

The way to do this is to create sub-goals – you know… bite-size pieces. For example, take one day at a time. Today plan what you are going to eat tomorrow. The sub-goal could be: go shopping for the ingredients. You are on your way to bulimia recovery!

Step 4 – “R” is for Relevant

Make your goal Relevant to you. Don’t do it for others, if you do, you are unlikely to stay with it… do it for YOU. You can beat bulimia and enjoy the fruits of being in bulimia recovery. Binging will be a thing of the past.

Step 5 – “T” is for Timely.

Allow yourself enough Time to achieve your goal. Set a realistic time frame – changing your eating patterns will take 21 days or longer.

For example,

Week 1 – eat three balanced meals a day. If a small healthy snack is necessary between meals… then have one!

Week 2 – focus on success

Week 3 – if you are feeling confident choose to experiment with foods you consider risky or conducive to binging.

Everyone learn t



o walk before they ran. Make time every day to review your goal to see how you have progressed. It reinforces your motivation.

Start a bulimia recovery treatment program to guide you along the path to success.

Most importantly, recognise your achievements along the way and reward yourself! You deserve the reward of bulimia recovery for your efforts.

Lose Weight For A Healthier Heart.

  Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of obese Americans continues to rise. In fact, 30 percent of adults over age 20-more than 60 million people-are obese, which means they are 30 pounds overweight and have a BMI, or body mass index (a mea-sure of body fat), of more than 30. Obesity Is On The Rise One of the goals of the National Institutes of Health is to reduce obesity among adults by more than half by the year 2010. However, current data suggests that the situation is getting worse.

What’s more, obesity is a risk factor for heart disease and other serious health complications: • Obesity is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Having

Lose Weight – A few thoughts.

There are few subjects in the world that have had more written about them than how to lose weight. Sad, but true. People are simply obsessed with their weight, and are willing to try any ridiculous fad if it promises to help them shed those pounds and lose those unsightly inches. At the moment, the fashion is for restricted-carbohydrate diets, like Atkins, the South Beach Diet and the GI Diet. These diets make foods like pasta and rice out to be the root of all evil, instead encouraging you to eat high-fat, high-protein foods like meat and dairy products. While this approach does result in weight loss for many people, its long-term health effects are, at best, unknown, with most nutritionists agreeing that such a diet would most probably be harmful if it was kept to for a long time. In the end, the reason that people go so far to find ways of losing weight is that the one method that works is so difficult. You simply have to eat less food, and find time to exercise.
