positives/something to help?

Hiyaaa Hollie =)

That's a good list u got there!! I think everyone who reads this should put some goals down or some kinda motivation list on here and when some one is struggling they can look on here and feel that not everything is lost and there is always hope

1) I want to make my mum & dad smile because they know I'm getting better 2) I want to be able to live my life being me and not being told what to do or eat by Ana 3) I want to fight the fear of putting on weight because I know what I am now isn't healthy 4) I want to reach the little goals I set myself and be proud of what I have acheived 5) I want to be 100% truthful to my parents and my journal because there the ones that I feel safe with 6) I want to get rid of the voice in my head telling me I'm fat and can't eat because they're all horrible lies 7) I want to be a ED Psycotheripist or a Fashion Jounalost when I'm older, I won't be able to do that if I've still got Ana 8) I want to and will be free 9) I just want to be me

Yup...almost 10 goals there lol (Y)

Heya,

I think that is all really positive. I can't think of anything at the moment though. How bad is that.

1)I guess I want to be happy again.2) to fight my ED and recover . 3)to make mum happy with me.4) To live for me not for others.

That is it atm

hey

i think this is a really good idea :) reading them made we feel alot more motivated and inspired to stay better. Heres my ten

1) I want to repay everyone who has helped me by showing them i'm better and recovered 2) I want to be able to help others overcome the terrible grip this can have on us and assist them in recovery  3) I want to be able to put any of my jeans on and feel comfortable in them 4) I want to stay in touch with my true self and feel the real richness of life all the time 5) I want to be able to eat out with my friends and enjoy a meal with my family and enjoy it  6) I want to continue looking in the mirror and feeling so proud at how healthy i now am 7)I want to have so much energy that i am able to hear a good song come  on and dance around the house to it (tehe) 8) i want to show others that it can be beaten forever 9)i want to have real relationships with people based on trust and acceptance 10) I want to accept my whole self

keep strong everyone !!

This is such a fantastic post. It made me smile :) You are so right and you can do this, keep strong x

Hiyaaa =)

I'm really glad ur think this is a good idea *dances* I've had a really stressful exam filled couple of days and I'm struggling today with my eating and I read this and it really made me smile  I think my 10 goal will be to always try to remember how proud I am of trying to recover and that when I feel fat I just need to think that this isn't my thought - it's the Ana's so just try and ignore it (it's a bit of a long one isn't it lol).

Any more top 10 goals or inspiration anyone?

hello aw im so glad this has been helpful. i think it is really inspiring to read what everyones written and sum of wot u guys have written applies to me. lets all keep posting. :-) im reading this book that my mums got at the mo, which isnt about ed's, but about addiction, but im finding it quite helpful. one of the things it says is to try to bring to mind all the bad things and negative experiences related to your problem every time you want to do it and to think about all the good things of not doing it. i think the point is to kind of reverse your thinking so that u just dont want to do the destructive behavior anymore. so this is one of my goals, to try and do this and remember all the reasons i listed before about why not to carry on bingeing, so that hopefully i dont even want to binge any more. i guess the same applies if u dont eat, every time you are thinking about not eating, bring to mind all the bad things that not eating has brought you and all the positives that eating will bring you. this applies to me when i try to skip meals. keep strong and keep hope! lotsa love hollie xxx

Hiyaaa Hollie =)

I agree with u!!! The more people that post the more encouragment everyone can take from the goals (Y)                   That book sounds really helpful, reverse Psychology is what I've been trying to master to, so I'm hoping that one day I'll get there and be able to reverse any thought that the ana tries to make me think. What's the name of the book?                                             omg! I'm really pleased to read that u don't even wanna binge no more, that really made me smile because that just prooves that ed's can be beating (which is what I'm trying to do)  It's scary how ana can have such control over your thoughts and feelings =S but the more u can reverse/ignore or fight against it's thoughts the easy it'll be to not binge or in my case being able to actually eat in the first place. It'll take time but we'll get there one day, just gotta NEVER give up even when times are low (Y)
