Healing from Bulimia, Eating Disorders and Food Restricting and a Lifetime of Dieting (No quick fixes in 2024!)
By the time they get to me, many of my California and Texas clients have decades of dieting and food restrictions behind them. I did, too. I began dieting and restricting food in elementary school, and that behavior persisted for decades before I found a qualified eating disorder therapist to help me recover completely. I get it. It feels impossible. When I was in the thick of my eating disorder, if someone had told me that I would someday think about food, eating, and body image less than 10% of the time, I would have thought they were insane. But it was true. It happened. It’s happened to hundreds of my clients. It can happen to you, too. Read on to hear how you can take the first step in 2024.
Acknowledge the Action
You’ve been suffering from eating and body image issues for years—YEARS. Let’s celebrate the fact that you are taking action by creating a different path. It takes courage and vulnerability to veer away from dieting and restriction. This step is powerful and strong. When self-doubt creeps in, tell yourself that you are moving forward in faith. Faith in yourself. Faith in your support team.
Faith in the universe, God, higher power, Beyonce’ … whoever or whatever keeps you going.
You made the right choice.
Invite the Intention to Heal from Bulimia, or other Disorder Issues
Let’s fast forward six months, nine months, one year, whatever. When you are fully recovered, what will that look like? What will that feel like? What will you be doing and thinking? If one word described what that space is like, what is that word? Write it down several times and place the word around your home, work, and car. Put it in your phone. Tell your loved ones. Acknowledge and own that this word will be YOUR WORD and your intention for recovery from binge eating and other eating disorder issues in 2024.
Maintain Momentum
Oftentimes there is a rush of energy when you sign up for a new diet or fitness plan. It feels euphoric. There’s such a strong promise that all of your food, eating, and body image problems will be solved that you can’t help but feel hopeful and amazing. Over time, the euphoria fades, the energy drains away, and you’re left with a way of life that is unsustainable. That’s why the quick fix that diet programs and fitness gurus promise doesn’t work. So what the heck does work? Getting to the root of the issue. Eating disorders are brain disorders. That means that you need to access qualified, experienced professionals to help you overcome binge eating and other types of disordered eating behaviors. The answer to recovering from your disorder is SUPPORT!
