I decided to post this in the BED forum as I thought it might be a bit inconsiderate to post in the Ana forum, and because I know that many people in this forum are struggling with binge eating, here is something I got from a website that I filled out myself and it has REALLY got me motivated to quit the binging and start restricting again. I say restricting, but it can be used for anything, including motivating yourself to eat a healthy, balanced diet.
I plan to read this every single day. You fill in each sentence with your own reasons and I guarantee you'll be out of this binge cycle shortly.
I want to lose weight to look better SO THAT...
I can feel more confident about myself SO THAT...
These are all the GOOD things that will start happening to me tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, or even 2,5, or 10 years from now
IF I DO Take action now to lose weight...
[Your list of general reasons]
