Symptoms Of Bulimia (Part 6) - How To Recover & Get Your Life Back
Even if you could choose to be free of bulimia by simply flicking a switch -
you'd still feel bad about yourself and worry about gaining weight,
wouldn't you?
Well the good news is that you're normal and that's what most bulimia sufferers think when
they consider recovery.
They focus on 'how much worse it would be to be fat as well!'
If you look at the first symptom on this video series -
it's self perception.
This is what started you on the bulimia road.
This is what keeps you there.
It is precisely what is playing on your fears and it is potentially standing in the way
of your recovery.
The truth is, what the scales say isn't your problem -
it is what you THINK they SHOULD say that is the problem.
You are associating who you are and how you feel with the way you look.
Your problem is the difference between what you think you should be and how you perceive
yourself to be.
Both of these things are just thought processes - not reality!
At the moment you have two options in your life:
Option 1.
Have bulimia.
Live a life of deceit, lies and secrecy.
Feel intense shame and guilt about what you do.
Follow a path of psychological and physical self-destruction which at the very least will
rot your teeth,
give you bad breath,
ruin your skin,
make you look older than you are,
make your hair thin and dry,
make your nails thin and brittle and these are just the cosmetic things -
you don't want to know about the medical damage you're inflicting.
In spite of all this you use bulimia to 'look good'
to be 'more acceptable'
and to 'feel good about yourself'.
It doesn't work though does it?
Option 2.
Stop using bulimia.
Get fat,
be hated by everyone,
hate yourself,
be teased,
fail at everything,
be constantly rejected and humiliated, etc (we're sure you can add more).
If your only choices are these two,
then you are indeed stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Your self perception and everything which stems from it bind you into one of these two
options.
However, with our help we can address your self perception (basically because it's just
made up in your head)
and change it so that it serves you instead of destroying you.
We can give you option 3.
Option 3.
Recover with our help.
When you look in the mirror you can feel good about yourself.
The voice in your head is kind and considerate to you -
just as you are with other people.
You eat when you want to, without obsession or compulsion...
in fact food drops right down your list of priorities to the point where you rarely think
about it.
The reason for this is that you have more important things to focus on like having fun,
going out, getting on with your career, making time for your family and friends and helping
others with their problems.
When your body rehydrates and starts getting the nutrition it needs to be healthy,
your hair will thicken and start to shine again,
your skin will clear, the headaches and dizziness will disappear,
your short term memory will improve, the sore throats and hoarse voice will go,
your eyes will shine as they're meant to... and the list goes on.
If you want to keep bulimia for all the favours it does you - then that's fine with us.
We never insist our clients refrain from their disorder(s),
rather we give them other options to choose from.
You originally took bulimia on as a vehicle to help you feel better about yourself,
but instead it has turned around and bitten you, making your life a living nightmare.
However, we can give you all the positive things you hoped bulimia would provide and
more...
without any nasty rituals, guilt, shame, self-destruction or physical harm.
You have the right to a happy, fulfilling life which we can help you attain.
Alternatively, if you're just window shopping,
full of excuses or want to give bulimia another six months to bring you everything you want
-
sorry we can't help you.
