My goals last week were to write DH a letter explaining my ED feelings and explanations. I got a big part of it done, but I think our therapy session together caught the tail end. I never gave it to him but we discussed everything in therapy. My other goal was to wait 20 minutes and distract myself with another activity if I felt like I was going down an ED path. I was able to do this maybe 30% of the time. TBH, I kind of forgot about this goal and wasn't making a conscious effort. Usually my anxiety starts to cloud my thinking before I can even remember how to combat it.

This week my goal is going to be really hard for me but I'm determined to do it.

Goal: Not binge and purge during my long weekend vacation to NY to see my sister
Short or long term? short
Why is it important? I haven't been able to go a day without restricting, binging and purging, or purging regular meals since 2.5 months ago and I feel like I have to be forced into a situation where I really can't engage in that in order to prove to myself that I can do it again.
How am I going to accomplish it? My sister knows about my goal and will be supportive the whole time.

Goal: I gotta lay off the wine
Short or long term? Both
Why is it important? Well for one its a ton of empty calories that doesn't help my weight loss goals. Two its not healthy. and three its not good with my meds. Ugh....but I just love wine so much
How am I going to accomplish it? Back to NO drinking during the week. Only Friday or Sat night and preferably only one of those nights.

Typing this out is super good.....helps to hold myself accountable
