ABSTRACT
Having worked through Getting Better Bite by Bite, ask yourself: “How do I feel?” Answer this question honestly. If this book has been helpful and you are a good step further on your journey towards recovery, excellent! Enjoy the feeling of rest after some hard work. But be prepared for further obstacles along the way. Recovery and getting better is not about being free of problems – rather, it is about feeling better equipped to cope with and resolve them, about feeling more 152courageous and being prepared to try new things; it is about looking at problems afresh, about gaining self-belief, and about learning skills to avoid the traps of the harsh routines of dieting; it is about finding contentment by escaping the chaos of binges, nurturing self-respect by connecting with your own thoughts and feelings, and learning how to cater and care for your own needs as much as you do for others.
