I was inspired on Twitter by @RecoveryFreedom to start thinking about “goals” I have for recovery. To me, some are more easily obtainable than others while others are repeat actions. I want to keep adding and utilize these to motivate me when I get stuck!

Go to a restaurant and do not look up the menu before I go.

Let someone else decide where to eat (not as indecisiveness, but as a way to not pre-plan.

Order something based on taste, not “health” or “calories”

Have a bulk snack in my house and not binge on it

Do not hesitate at accepting a bite from someone else’s meal

Show gratitude towards food, being able to digest it, etc.

Get the next step up from an order (chai latte instead of sugar free, etc)

Inspire someone

Work a program for six months

Sub in other foods when getting stuck on the same foods (apple for pear, etc)

Go to Taco Bell after drinking (too funny, my boyfriend always wants this and I used to b/p after doing so)

Don’t follow a “diet” or “lifestyle choice”

Reach out to support system when struggling

Eat out for lunch at work instead of pre-packing

Saying yes to unknown social event

Reduce anxiety around social events

Eat ice cream without binging

Have ice cream in the house without binging

Eat a brownie

Eat a cookie (or two or three if you want!)

Find a gym activity you like so that it isn’t just work.

Find and maintain my natural body shape/size/weight

Mentor others in ED recovery

Educate others with my experience

Develop my relationship with my higher purpose

Make decisions not based on calories/ingredients

Make a quicker decision and leave behind the anxiety

Work towards having personal trust

Find community service/group outreach

Don’t look at a label when shopping

Don’t compare calories between products

Push my boundaries and comfort level

When questioning or getting anxious, just GO FOR IT.

Eat something sweet every day.

Give thanks and gratitude daily

Say “no” more often or voice reservations

Not have my significant other worried when i go to the bathroom after eating

Not have my friends/family worried when I go to the bathroom after eating

Go to a buffet and not binge

Not think about calories when at the gym

Not be defined by my weight or have my weight derail me
