Simple Simile for your Bulimia Recovery!

Here is a wonderful poem by an unknown author, which I simply love!

It 's as if though it was written just for you..bulimia sufferer reading this blog post!

1
I walk down the street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I fall in
I am lost..i am helpless
It isn’t my fault
It takes forever to find a way out

2
I walk down the same street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I pretend I don’t see it
I fall in again
I can’t believe I’m here in the same place
But it isn’t my fault
It still takes me forever to get out

3
I walk down the same street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I see it there
I still fall in..it’s a habit
My eyes are open
I know where I am
It is my fault
I get out immediately

4
I walk down the same street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I walk around it

5
I walk down another street

The beauty of this poem is in the way, it could easily illustrate the journey of a Bulimic sufferer going through various stages of changes :

From a place of Helpless Victim, to that of Concious Ignorant state, through to becoming Aware of habits and taking ownership, then re-inforcing it with Avoidance of trigger situations by forming New Skills and right through to practicing Choices and preventions mindset that promotes MASTRY of your BULIMIA RECOVERY for life!

Feel free to print this out and read it every day to help you stay on your Right Path!

with warm wishes
