I know that ED is the "easier" way to deal with difficult feelings, but I'm so proud of you for not taking the easy way out! Good for you for practicing the DBT stuff, the more you work at it the better because when you're in a rough situation you'll be able to fall back on those skills automatically! NOBODY in my "real life" knows about my blog, and I'm trying to keep it that way lol!Stef (More to Life Than Lettuce)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09354717825139158982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648777686689672361.post-64070028381414384682009-05-12T04:03:00.000+01:002009-05-12T04:03:00.000+01:00wow ellie...what deep thoughts...you're right...it...wow ellie...what deep thoughts...you're right...it's time you find other ways to deal with the stress and emotions. that's def a HUGE part of recovery. for me it will always be my faith and religion. but another I find really helps is putting your thoughts and concerns on other people's problems instead...when you help others, care for others, volunteer, etc, you start forgetting about your own problems as you suddenly realize they're quite minor compared to others. good luck in your quest, ellie!

I have missed the last exciting ten minutes of my fave shows because I started a binge. SO I am still figuring this out.<br /><br />As for my blog, both my parents know (my mom reads occasionally), my sister knows, my best friend in Texas knows, my boyfriend knows (he occasionally glances at it), a college friend knows, and two of my cousins have found it so they know. And I don't mind at all. <br /><br />Take Car sweetieSheenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07556757686360954033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648777686689672361.post-69596785439713595152009-05-11T19:59:00.000+01:002009-05-11T19:59:00.000+01:00My husband knows about my blog, but I have not tol...My husband knows about my blog, but I have not told my mom, dad, or sister.<br />And I won't tell them.<br />Sorry, to me, it's just that simple.

I still am blown away by how supportive everyone on this site is!!<br /><br />I can relate to those feelings resurfacing.. but like Lauryn above me said, I agree that we use ED to numb all of them in order to put them in the back closet and not deal with it! The fact that they are coming up could be yourself's way of saying that you are strong enough to tackle those issues!<br /><br />Great idea with the DBT!! I think it will work! It's all about balance... easier said than done though :)<br /><br />Great pictures!! I love that you have been photographing your eats! I'm such a sucker for pics! haha<br /><br />Have a great Monday!!ElleMigliorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01585395538874726954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648777686689672361.post-91905790863803379282009-05-11T15:33:00.000+01:002009-05-11T15:33:00.000+01:00hi girlie,

Its not an easy process..more like a transition, but recognizing the feeling and accepting it always helped for me. then dealing wth it the best way i can is what i try to do...and i always try to stay away from any ed related issues to cover up the emotions.Its not easy, but you can do it hun, you just need to find a way to deal with everyting that suits u!<br /><br />lovin the yummy eats :)<br /><br />have a great monday!<br /><br />much love<br />xxxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648777686689672361.post-70609442857939579952009-05-11T14:37:00.000+01:002009-05-11T14:37:00.000+01:00You know what miss Ellie??

Haha! You might also like Cascadian Farms Organic Fruit & Nut Granola too! They're both AWESOME! But I do love the extra chewiness of the Bear Naked, so perfect! <br /><br /><br />I like that DBT idea - it seems to be a good way to cope with all of the stress that comes with maintaining your weight, and that whole stage of recovery in general. It is pretty hard to find that balance when you're trying so hard to maintain and NOT restrict...because we only really know the 'unhealthy' way to maintain/lose weight, and losing is something we cannot do all over again, ya know? I'm praying for you in hopes that you'll find a great plan that works for you! Maybe you'll find that doing volunteer work a few more days out of the week will do you well, or just helping out around the neighborhood. I always try to look for a hobby. I love painting! So if you like artwork, maybe you should give it a whirl...it's very stress relieving and it keeps me busy for hours on end...I've developed such a passion for it.<br /><br />I hope you have a lovely Monday!<br /><br />Love,<br />Meg<br /><br />p.s. yeah, the Kashi GoLean Rolls are REALLY hard to chew haha! But I'm not sure why I love em' - it takes me a while to finish one, and they keep me full :)Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11060158048124941825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648777686689672361.post-83656450021105515042009-05-11T14:18:00.000+01:002009-05-11T14:18:00.000+01:00ALFALFA!! ;D ;D
It really is a struggle to find ...ALFALFA!! ;D ;D<br /><br />It really is a struggle to find something to "replace" the ED... unfortunately for me, I am a master multi-tasker, so I sort of have to replace it with several things if I want to get it out of my brain! But that's where the problem starts... taking on too many things at once in an attempt to rid oneself of an ED mindset is very likely to send you right back into it. It's probably best to settle on ONE solid thing at a time. Which, of course, doesn't answer the question at all about how to FIND that one thing.<br /><br />As for "real life" people knowing about my blog... my nutritionist knows <I>about</I> it, but no way am I going to let her <I>read</I> it! That's it... unless you count as a "real life" person. ;)<br /><br /><3 <3Cacti Don't Cryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220870673847180330noreply@blogger.com
