Category: Self-Help

These days I am copy editing, Healing Your Hungry Heart, my self help eating disorder recovery book. This is a fun, challenging and arduous process.

My publisher, Conari Press, sent me the manuscript last week with the copy edits marked.  Now I'm well into the editing and writing process. 

I'm working on the boundary chapter now, and I have to tend my own boundaries. I need to get this job done and still get adequate sleep time. At the same time I'm looking at how sleep deprivation impacts you when you have an eating disorder.

If you have an eating disorder you criticisze and punish yourself.  Your harsh self talk is relentless.

Bulimia, anorexia, binge eating and EDNOS all share this identity debilitating symptom.

Clearing yourself of self hate is fundamental to rcovery,.

Please know there is healing power in love, patient, and kindness.

By recognizing the voices of self-hate

that take over our lives,

we can see the causes of suffering,

and by bringing that suffering into the light

of our inherent kindness and wisdom,

we are freed from it.-
