I have an Eating Disorder, but I am not an eating disorder. I am seperate from my eating disorder and I accept the responsibility to do whatever it takes to maintain that seperation.
I have the ability and the responsibility to recognise the voice of my eating disorder and to disagree with it when it tells me what I should do.
I accept full responsibility for continuing to develop my personal vision of emotional and physical health in specific terms and for focusing my attention toward that positive vision.
When I stumble or slip in my recovery, I respond with compassion and firmness like a strong, loving parent who accepts her child unconditionally.
I know that perfection is not an option and I disagree when old programming tells me that it is.
I support myself by acknowledging my efforts and my progress along the way. When I fall short of my expectations, I remember that I am only human and that I don't deserve to be attacked for being less than human.
