A Recovering Anorexic's Companion Medical Essentials

This creative self-care journal can make an excellent companion for those living in recovery from an eating disorder. A major hurdle in recovery is learning to assess, feel, and address emotions. This self-care journal helps those in recovery to document their moods, feelings, and self-care plan. To promote a positive mindset, it includes tools like positive affirmations and gratitude lists. Monthly calendars are provided so those in treatment can remember doctors appointments, support group meetings, therapy sessions, and outings with support people. Food is not a focus of this journal but a self-care food plan page is included to document meal plans given by a registered dietitian. This workbook is a self-care product and not a medical treatment. Filling out this journal may be a positive coping skill for those who are currently under doctor care. It should not be used in place of standard medical treatment.
