 # Exercise 10 coping with saying good bye

   Details    Category: [Workbook](https://eatingdisorderrecovery.net/table/help-yourself/workbook/)  Situation - good bye: You have said good bye to your friends and are home alone. You feel nervous. You are ready to eat whatever you can find for comfort.   
 Exercise: Pause. Consider moments that delight you. Give yourself a simple delight now while you are feeling the overeating urge. Perhaps it's listening to music or taking a warm bath. Read a poem out loud to your cat or dog. Sing in the shower or do some physical exercise to let out some energy.
