I struggle with this a lot. I'm in the process of seeking inpatient treatment once I get out of the medical hospital and I constantly struggle with feeling that I'm just not quite sick enough yet, just need to lost a few more lbs, labs just need to be a little more critical etc when in reality I should be focusing on bettering all of the above. I'm sorry you're struggling with this. I hope we both make healthy decisions this weekend.

I saw this post of yours on the ED update thread. It is a good example of identifying feelings and thoughts. I would just make a suggestion: that instead of saying that you "should" be focusing on bettering the above, consider first non judgmentally identifying the thought involved, which I think is that you are also attracted to healthier behaviors, you are
ambivalent. And then you can also say, if true, that your
intention is to choose healthier behaviors (rather than saying that you "should"). Or whatever your intention is, perhaps you are ambivalent in your intention as well.
