Question 7 in the OA Slipping and Sliding reading and writing tool suggests looking at "distorted ideas" and to research the "before" thinking in OAII stories to identify my own distorted ideas. It asks, "What were my thoughts before I indulged in that first compulsive bite?"
I thought I hated myself. I thought I needed to escape how I felt. I thought I deserved to suffer, to be punished, to put poison in my body. I thought I could fill this empty space in my soul with food. I thought if I binged, the world would go away for awhile and I would feel some peace.
And none of that is true.
