I’ve come to realize that the more ‘general’ therapy I get – and the more it works for me, the less symptoms I have. My eating disorder, as I’ve always known, is just a symptom itself. A symptom of feeling bad about myself, of self-hate, of not taking care of myself. Mostly it’s a symptom of not knowing other ways to cope. And I’m coping much better these days. So while I still occasionally have a small binge, I’m hanging up this goal and considering it done. Because I’m continuing therapy, I have gotten specific help, and in truth I don’t think of myself as having an eating disorder anymore. I don’t fit the clinical criteria anymore. I’ll call that a success :)

I’ve read recently that it would take 10 billion dollars to make sure everyone on earth has clean water. That sounds like a lot until you realize that Americans alone spend 450 billion dollars each Christmas! That’s enough to solve the water crises 45 times over. It also means that if every American gave 4.5% of the amount they spend on Christmas in one year, the crises would be solved that year. That’s 22.50 if you spend $500 at Christmas, 45 dollars if you spend a thousand. It’s these kind of statistics that show you how easy these problems can be solved if only everyone would help a little. It also points out what a disgrace it is that this problem still exists.

I will do the dishes more often, so I am not washing one dish at a time.
I will not dawdle getting into the shower after I’ve turned it on.
I will not stand idly in the shower, unless I am using it for pain relief.
