Don’t believe these lies:

Lie #1 –I AM MY BODY
Some believe they are their bodies and that they will not be acceptable and
worthwhile until their bodies carry less weight. 1 Samuel 16:7

Lie # 2 – I CANNOT CHANGE
Some feel powerless and out of control about food, their bodies, themselves and
their potential to change. Isaiah 40:29

Lie # 3 --I WILL BEVER BE GOOD ENOUGH
Some never feel good enough, smart enough, responsible enough or perfect enough.
Psalm 34:4

Lie # 4--I AM ALL ALONE
Some feel alone, unlovable or feel discounted.1 John 4:12, Proverbs 8:17

Lie #5—I CANNOT FORGIVE MYSELF.
Some feel unable to forgive themselves for overeating. Acts 26:18
Recovery is a process, not a quick fix.

12 Steps to Recovery

1. Admit it – eating and thought of eating are out of control

2. Believe 2 things – change is possible and “I deserve to have a better life.”

3. Make a decision to change. Decide to tolerate whatever feelings come up.

4. Inventory problems needing to be addressed. Write down symptoms: how you eat, how you exercise, how you punish yourself for eating, how you try to lose weight, how you degrade and criticize yourself and try to be perfect.

5. Share your inventory from number 4 with someone who can help.

6. Develop a plan – keep it simple. Include attainable goals – not overly ambitious or complicated. Identify one problem and work on it.

7. Fake it till you make it! Believe you are going to feel better. It may take a long time but believe anyway. Anxiety will disappear, obsessing over it or avoiding change makes it worse.

8. Take life one day at a time or one meal at a time. If you have trouble start again. Give yourself another chance. Very few people can climb straight up a mountain.

9. Build in some rewards for your efforts. Recovery is hard work. Find ways to soothe yourself. List rewards and allow one every day.

10. Talk about how you feel as you make changes. As you change your behavior more feelings will surface. To understand these feelings talk, talk, talk, write, write, write in your journal.

11. Keep on changing. Each week review inventory and decide which one to attack.

12. Believe in yourself and give yourself credit.

It is hard work to overcome overeating but with hard work it can happen and lead to a life that is free and fulfilling. It is like coming home.

Daily you must trust God for deliverance, trust yourself, accept yourself and nourish yourself.

This will allow you to break free from compulsive overeating by learning to eat what you want and trusting yourself to make healthy choices and healthy proportions.

Recovery from an eating disorder is probably the most difficult task you will ever face. At times it may seem impossible to you. Recovery demands every resource and every bit of courage you can muster.

Unfortunately, wanting to get better is not enough. You must change both your mind-set and your behavior; one without the other is not enough. And you must face the substance that represents so much to you and frightens you the most: food.
