... ED thinking are you?
Can you tell the difference? Can you recognize when your ED thinking is popping up and turn away from it?
What does it take, has it taken, for you to reject that thinking and get on a more positive track?

Just stopping in for the first time in a long time and I saw this question. It's a good one!
Lately I think I've been more in tune with my ED thinking. It is tough because it's such a natural part of my thought processes and comes into play in nearly every decision I make. But, I've been practicing turning away from the ED voice and trying out the path of the healthier voice. It's going pretty well - especially with lots of encouragement from my team and my DH.
How are you Diana? I hope things are going well!
Love,

Hi so_cal, how the heck are ya!
I'm really busy these days, mostly in my head maybe lol, but still.

Hi,
Is this an open question?
At the moment I tend to get extremely confused as to what 'voice' i'm living my life by and sometimes it's only when I reach the end of the day that I realise that i've spent/wasted a whole lot of my time thinking and worrying about food.
Does anyone else feel like that? like you're on auto pilot? and when you think about it how many people actually analyse and question each thought that comes into their head, many aren't even aware that they have an internal voice. Does this make sense? When I say people, I mean so-called 'normal' people too.
One of the most tiring, and at times frustraing, things about recovering from any mental health disorder is that we have to commit ourselves to this constant analysis of our thought processes and then correcting whats negative and unrational about them.
I hope that this has made sense

Yes, this makes sense to me!

I think for the most part I'm in touch with my ED voices. Every now and then the ED thinking will creep up on me when I least expect it. It usually happens when I'm stressed out about something. I become so enthralled with that stressful event that I forget to take a moment to deal with the other issues in life like my well being.
I can differentiate the voices but every now and then it is really hard. It's easy to turn to the ED thinking than the healthier option. I just need to remind myself to push through those thoughts. Usually, I have to take a few moments to clear my mind. Pop on my ipod &
