Spotting eating disorders signs and symptons can be difficult, like any addictive pattern we are not comfortable admitting to, people hide their eating disorder symptoms from the people they love.

I found the isolation brutal after losing the money. For the first time in my life I was truly alone. I was petrified but with time and committed meditation my "Isolation" became my "Splendid Isolation" on the California coast.

Think of your triggers as a great wave, waterfall, tsunami coming your way. Your objective is to learn to recognise the trigger and consciously disarm it before it does it's worst and activates that unwelcome automated response and you're under.

The universal truth is your best friend when it comes to sorting out your mind. Sticking only with the truth in not easy but it does reduce stress and anxiety.
