Dear Visitors,
Some Affirmations for your Journey to Recovery.
Be like a postage stamp. Stick to one thing until you get there.
Though no one can go back and make a new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new end.
Never give up for that is just the time and place the tide will turn.
FOOD
Food does not possess qualities such as good and bad, but it can be healthy or unhealthy for you.
Food is neither friend, nor foe.
Food does not take care of me. I and other people take care of me. Food takes care of my hunger.
Food is fuel and, often pleasurable
I CAN be comfortable with food without being in tight control
I know when I’ve had enough food and feel pleasantly satisfied
It’s fine to eat foods that are empty of nutrients if that’s what my body craves and if I balance them out most of the time.
I can eat and enjoy high-calorie foods occasionally
Food can only solve the problem of hunger and/or craving
I’m learning and practicing being satisfied with food
I trust my body to feed me in such a way that I remain at a natural, comfortable weight
