Cool Life is good

I feel like I'm complaining all the time, focusing on bad things like how I've screwed up here and there and didn't do as well as I think I should've. I was just thinking that maybe we should list the good things that have happened lately, whether it relates to ED or not. Mine are:

1. I looked at diet pills at WalMart and didn't buy any.
2. I avoided junk food all day. That's a first in a long time.
3. I got to go on vacation last weekend.
4. I got a call from a publisher. (I'm trying to break into the fiction market, so this is a really, really good thing)
5. I didn't have to work today, so I got to go shopping, which was fun, and I get to hang out w/friends tonight.

Hey there! I've done this before, and you're right, it really does help to focus on the positive. Here's mine:
1. So far today, no bingeing!!!!! (1st day in over a week!)
2. I am very upbeat about my recovery. I'm taking some new med that is working well, and I got a light box (to exper. with SAD)
3. I am doing better with thinking positive
4. Hmmm, let's see... I am sore from lifting weights yesterday (I got some exercise)
5. The weather is still warm here which is really rare, but I love it!

PS, you're a writer lissa?! That is so cool! I want to be a writer soon! Keep me posted on how things go, ok?

Glad to know life is good in your parts of the world. I tornado ripped through here last night, but I don't think it caused much damage. It missed my community by a few miles. So that's good, and I don't think anyone was hurt.

Plus, I only purged once today (if you consider laxatives purging...it seems so weenie compared to vomiting). I wanted to a second time, but I didn't. And I still can't make myself throw up, so that's good, too, though it pretty darn disappointing when I try...

As for writing, this is so cool! I can't believe you guys are into it, too! Anyway, I've been published , but only freelance, and I'd really like to write a novel. I guess they're hard to sell, though. I don't really get emotional, per se, and I LOVE mysteries and thrillers. If you guys are looking to get published, I recommend checking out a Writer's Market book. They've got 'em for nonfiction, fiction, and poetry. You should be able to find one in the reference section at the local bookstore, or go to Amazon.com. There's a ton of writing info there.

I've never done this before, so I thought I'd try.

1) I went for a long run today, which made me feel happier.
2) Summer's finally here! (I really hate winter).
3) Only another month and I'll have all my School Cert. exams over with. I can't wait!!! Then, holidays!!!
4) My best friend seems happier again.
5) I have plans to go out somewhere with my friends tomorrow night.

How was that?
