Lesson 1: Distractions

One of the most effective ways to beat the desire to binge is to distract yourself by watching something. I normally have a list of TV shows or movies I go to when I'm in the 'binge mindset':

A Secret Between Friends (aka When Friendship Kills)
A film about two best friends who share an eating disorder; one gets help but the other is unwilling to change. The movie deals with both anorexia and bulimia.
Even though this is an 'old' film, it's really engaging and will change your mind on deciding to binge eat.
Thin 
A documentary that follows a group of young adults suffering from anorexia and bulimia as they receive treatment at an American inpatient eating disorders facility.
Perfect Body 
This film focuses on a gymnast, Andie, who succumbs to the pressure of extreme dieting to achieve the 'ideal body' dictated by her discipline. Deals with both anorexia and bulimia.
Hunger Point 
A film about two sisters, one of whom suffers from depression and bulimia, the other of whom is permanently under the scrutiny of her diet-obsessed mother. A large portion of the movie takes place in a psychiatric unit. The film mostly deals with the implications for the family when their youngest daughter hits rock bottom.
For the Love of Nancy 
An ordinary girl with growing insecurities about college, turns to anorectic behaviour as a way of regressing and gaining the attention of her pressurizing mother.
Felicity 
This show has nothing to do with EDs, but Keri Russell is one of the best thinspo's out there... the series also deals with a lot of young adult issues, such as attending college, relationship dramas, coming of age, rape, addiction to name a few.
Ciao! Manhattan 
Made in the 70s, this film stars Edie Sedgwick who portrays herself in the role of Susan. Edie is one of my biggest thinspirations, and watching her always takes my mind off food. During the flashbacks of her time in New York, addicted to meth-amphetamines and also suffering from bulimia, she weighed 90 lbs at 5'5.

There a lot of ED movies I missed out, but this is just my personal list of things that inspire or engage me when I'm struggling myself. I'd recommend googling other movies if you get stuck; there are a ton of them out there!

Peace, love and skinny
