Last week my goals were to not weigh myself, which I was able to do, and limit my exercise to one hour of light/moderate intensity. I actually had to go above and beyond and not work out at all due to my RE's strict instructions. It has been extremely hard mentally for me to accept this.

This week's goals are:

Goal: Write a "letter" to DH explaining my feelings about my ED and how we are dealing with it
Short or long term? short
Why is it important? DH and I have been fighting/screaming about this for a few weeks now and he is coming to therapy with me this week, bc my illness is ruining our marriage.
How am I going to accomplish it? Write a few sections at a time tomorrow, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Goal: Take 20 minutes of quiet time right before I feel like I'm going to use an ED behavior
Short or long term? short
Why is it important? My therapist said that I'm very impulsive/compulsive, and that she wants me to see if doing my breathing exercises and waiting out the ED thoughts will lessen so they are not as severe after the 20 minutes are up.
How am I going to accomplish it? Do chores or another activity for 20 minutes to distract myself.
