1. work on my paper
2. knit and watch tv
3. blog
4. go for a "mindful" walk
5. call a friend

yesterday was "another healthy day" which is when you suspend all ed behaviors for just one day...unfortunately i wasn't able to do that...yesterday. today i have made the commitment to have one ed free day. there is less pressure than thinking, "i will never use my ed behaviors again." recovery is a slippery slope and i am taking it minute by minute, one meal at a time. i'm breaking out the meal plan again, following my exchanges and promising myself to eat one meal following my meal plan, then saying to myself, "i will not purge for 30 min, then 30 min more," until the urge has passed. so far this is working. i know its early in the day, but i'm not thinking about later, i'm thinking about now.
