WAYS TO KEEP YOU ON TRACK WITH RECOVERY

CONNECTION

Connect with people, animals, or

spirituality. This can help you not feel so

disconnected and isolated mentally,

physically, and emotionally. Ask yourself,

who's your support system?

COURAGE

In order to overcome your fear of failure,

body image or weight gain, you have to

face those fears. Face food fears by

slowly adding the food you restricted

back into your life without labeling it as

good or bad.

COMMITMENT

Make recovery from your eating

disorder a priority. Make sure to pick

yourself after a slip-up. Understand your

only human and will make mistakes

and up and downs in the journey but

stay committed to yourself by

continuing to move forward.

REALISTIC TIME FRAME

Allow yourself to occupy your time

doing new things and activities. Find

new hobbies, and discover yourself more.

Real change takes time, trust the

process and avoid putting an

unrealistic time frame on it.

CLARITY

Ask yourself, what am I currently

working on in my recovery? What

do I want to replace that behavior

with?
