Wow, here it’s been 30 years since I stopped my bad eating disorder habits and I’ve recently caught myself about to slip into a few bad habits again. Can you believe it?
While I’ve never been a smoker, I can only imagine it’s the same feeling as a smoker that’s quit or a reformed alcoholic. While you get better and stop bad habits, the “feelings” or the “urge” creeps back occasionally. I just didn’t expect it to happen when I’ve been so good for so long.
So, fellow sufferers, word of warning, even once you are better and your head is where it should be regarding your eating habits and impulses, be aware of WHY, WHEN, and HOW MUCH you eat at any given time. We are our own best police when it comes to how we eat. I don’t plan on EVER being in the situation I was in as a teen, so I’m very careful about how I look at food and why I eat which foods I eat.
Avoid stress (I know, I know, sometimes that’s hard!), get your sleep in, and stay vigilant about your eating habits.
