10 Phases of Eating Disorder Recovery

I came across this through twitter. Carolyn Costin and Gwen Grabb wrote a book called "8 Keys to Recovery From an Eating Disorder" and in the book they include 10 phases of eating disorder recovery. I think these phases are on point and they also to other addictions besides eating disorders. If you or someone you know is struggling you should take a look. It's really important to understand that when you enter recovery you don't get better overnight. It's a process and EVERYONE has their own pace so don't get discouraged. Keep fighting an keep speaking!
1. I DON'T THINK I HAVE A PROBLEM.
-It's my body so leave me alone.
-There are people who are a lot thinner (worse) than I am.

2. I MIGHT HAVE A PROBLEM BUT IT'S NOT THAT BAD.
-I only throw up once in a while.
-My physical didn't show anything wrong so I am OK.

3. I HAVE A PROBLEM BUT I DON'T CARE.
-I know throwing up isn't good for me, but it's working for me so I don't care.
-I could change if I wanted to, but I don't.

4. I WANT TO CHANGE BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW AND I'M SCARED.
-I want to eat normally, but I am afraid I will get fat (gain weight).
-I want to stop bingeing, but I can't figure out where to start.

5. I TRIED TO CHANGE BUT I COULDN'T.
-I told myself that I would not (fill in the blank) but I found myself doing it again.
-I don't feel like I can really ever (change) get well, so why keep trying?

6. I CAN STOP SOME OF THE BEHAVIORS BUT NOT ALL OF THEM.
-I could stop purging, but I will not be able to eat more.
-My eating has gotten better, but my exercise is out of control.

7. I CAN STOP THE BEHAVIORS, BUT NOT MY THOUGHTS.
-I can't stop thinking about food and bingeing all the time.
-I keep counting calories over and over in my head and still want to lose weight.

8. I AM OFTEN FREE FROM BEHAVIORS AND THOUGHTS, BUT NOT ALL THE TIME.
-I feel fine all day, but under stress I revert back to my unhealthy behaviors.
-I was fine, but wearing a bathing suit triggered my eating disorder thoughts, and with it some related behaviors.

9. I AM FREE FROM BEHAVIORS AND THOUGHTS.
-I feel mostly OK in my body and am able to eat things I want and not feel guilty or anxious afterwards.
-Once I had stopped the behaviors for a period of time, at some point I realized that I was no longer having the thoughts or urges.

10. I AM RECOVERED.
-For a long time now, I no longer have thoughts, feelings, or behaviors related to my eating disorder.
-I accept my body's natural size. My eating disorder is a thing of the past.
