Just read a really powerful article by Jim Rohn call The Four Emotions That Can Lead to Life Change. It's pretty short so read it if you have a chance. Here's what really hit me about each emotion in relation to where I am at now:
1) Disgust - I've decided I'm not going to live like this anymore!
2) Decision - "Conflicting armies of emotions, each with its own arsenal of reasons, battle each other for supremacy of our minds." I've decided after all of these years to go with the emotions that say no to my eating disorder.
3) Desire - "Don’t erect a wall to protect you from experiencing life. The same wall that keeps out your disappointment also keeps out the sunlight of enriching experiences." My eating disorder has kept me safe from pain but it has dulled the thrill of life. I want the to feel the positive emotions to the fullest again!
4) Resolve - "Promise yourself you'll never give up." This is it, I'm doing it this time. I'm going to recover!
