ED Gives You Shame and Guilt

I am not one to talk about emotions but through treatment I am learning about my emotions. Shame and guilt is so hard to handle and ED loves to put shame and guilt on you. Every time I binge, weigh myself, look in a mirror, and so many other things, ED is right there with the shame and guilt. Telling me how awful I am. Telling me that I am worthless. It is so hard not to believe ED. He is so convincing.

However, I am learning that I can tell ED to “be quiet”. I am learning that I don’t have to be ashamed or guilty when I use a behavior or look in a mirror. I know now that if I make a mistake, I can move on. A good friend taught that it is ok to take one meal at a time. I am learning that I can take things a second at a time and Kick ED’s Butt.🐷
