recovery from my ORTHOREXIA? help...?

2014-03-23 3:05 am
i'm currently recovering from ana and ive gained quite a few pounds which is good and i didnt really feel bad about these new numbers, but now this drives me into another disorder, that is, orthorexia...
i realized that i am so obsessed with "eating-healthy-to-recover-so-you-dont-gain-only-fat-but-muscle" thing. you know what i mean...
i am not an extreme case, because i eat red meat and dairy. however im really really scared of processed meats like sausages, ham, luncheon meat, spams...
everytime i eat them i feel so unhealthy, and bad, and judge myself : "if i didnt choose to have this sausage, i would have had a perfect day because i wouldnt have eaten any UNATURAL FOODS! damn.." i will be hating myself so much and turns into a very bad mood...
this is driving me crazy when i have to choose on a menu... i think about the ''healthy thing''about it and whether the sodium harms my body etc...im really, really sick of it.
yesterday i tried to challenge myself, by ordering a hotdog with custard sauce on it. i finished half of it and by the end of the day i started feeling guilty. my thoughts were like:
- gosh. my day would have been perfect of eating only natural foods which are good to your body. but not for now because youve eaten some sausages! that is, processed foods!
- i actually didnt really want to have a hotdog...why did i order it? ive wasted my calories on something i dont enjoy...@#$%(if you know what i mean...)

can anyone help me through this..?

You have to be willing to hear the unpleasant thought, accept the unpleasant thought, and then dismiss the unpleasant thought. IMMEDIATELY turn your attention to a new subject. Do not let the brain return to the subject of food.

It takes practice, but in 30 days, things will be very different!
