Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Albert Einstein
In the world of eating disorders, specially Bulimia Nervosa and Compulsive Over Eating it’s time to expect different results by doing something different.
With eating disorders such as bulimia nervosa and compulsive over eating there is a correlation between avoiding conflicts, or procrastination, and the symptoms getting worse. It is essential in this age of connectedness, to find a support, to find a text partner, a Facebook friend or some form of a supporter who will be there to support you to address the issues that are making your Eating Disorder flare up.
Isolation makes Eating Disorders worse, regardless of the type of disorder. I encourage you to use this website to stay connected – a significant therapeutic support towards wellness.
