The New Year *triggering*

[PureGrace]

Hi everyone, and happy new year

I dont know if I am alone in this...but this new year ahead of me is triggering me quite a bit. I keep finding myself thinking things like "Maybe this year I'll get my weight right" or "I'll have better self control over eating this year"...I am desperately trying to recover from this, and suddenly I've fallen back.

To make matters worse, I was at a party this evening and I was cold so I wanted to sit on someones lap (we were around the fire) and so I asked my friend Justin and he jokingly said "No, you're too fat!" (my friends don't know about my ED). I am very aware that he was only joking, but it still stuck in my head...

Sorry if I am rambling, I just needed to get everything out

Kate,
Sweetie, your friend was very rude to say that to you. I understand your desire to get your weight right this year. That is what I am working on in treatment.

Can you get into treatment for your eating disorder? Do your parents have medical insurance? If so, ask for treatment or therapy for your eating disorder. Ask your doctor for a referral, or google search for a treatment facility where you live, that is what I did. Mine is outpatient, meaning I go to work and then to treatment.

God bless and good luck.

You will get things right. Try not to let your friend's comments or anybody elses for that matter, distort your image of yourself. Be encouraged that God never gives us more than we can handle. I don't know much about you. But you do not have to go through everything alone. I'm sure you know that. Wish I could say more to help.

Thank you both...

I am leaving town early tomorrow morning and will be back on the 7th of this month. I'll talk to you all when I return. God bless your week...
