As you might have guessed by now… I really like anything inspirational (quotes, poems, good stories) to get me through any hard times.  I remember taking great pleasure in opening a journal that was full of good motivational things to read to help me when I struggled with binge eating disorder. 

If you are like me, I encourage you to spend some time looking through anything that you draw inspiration from to help with your binge eating journey.  I promise that it helps.

You Can Be Whatever You Want To Be!
by Donna Levine

There is inside you
all of the potential
to be whatever you want to be,
all of the energy
to do whatever you want to do.
Imagine yourself as you would like to be,
doing what you want to do,
and each day, take one step
towards your dream.
And though at times it may seem too
difficult to continue,
hold on to your dream.
One morning you will awake to find
that you are the person you dreamed of,
doing what you wanted to do,
simply because you had the courage
to believe in your potential
and to hold on to your dream.

This poem is definitely one of my favorites!  Even though it wasn’t written for a binge eater, I considered my “dream” to be binge-free and it helped me.  It’s so important to know and realize that all people that binge eat have such great power and potential inside each one of you.  Use the power and create the life you want. 

Rid yourself of binge eating disorder.

Be more social because you aren’t fixated on your next binge.

Know that you can get through anything, good times or bad, without binge eating.

Most importantly, make binge eating disorder a thing of the past!
