Question: Short-Term Goals
1. I will have the athlete honestly tell their eating pattern including types, amounts, and frequency of food consumed.
2. I would then ask the athlete if they have had any unhealthy weight control behaviors and the time frame they noticed it.
3. Verbalize an accurate understanding of how eating disorders develop by a specific date as evidence.
4. Then have the athlete keep a journal of food consumption for a specific time frame.
5. Along with the journal I would set regular eating patterns by eating portions during the day for the athlete to follow. Such as foods,calories,etc...
6. Then create a list of high-risk situations for unhealthy eating or weight loss practices to use as motivation for the athlete.
7. Having the athlete learn and implement skills for managing urges to engage in unhealthy eating or weight loss. By participating in exercises in life skills group to build skills in managing urges to use weight control practices. So the familiarity with be there.
8. Then identify, challenge, and replace self-talk and beliefs that promote the bulimia by bringing important people in the past and present and describe the good and poor qualities of those relationships.
9. I would then implement relapse prevention strategies for managing possible future anxiety symptoms by a specific date.
Long-Term Goals:
1. Restore normal eating patterns, healthy weight maintenance, and a realistic appraisal of body size.

3. Develop healthy cognitive patterns and beliefs about self that lead to positive identity and prevent a relapse of the eating disorder.
4. Develop healthy interpersonal relationships that lead to alleviation and help prevent relapse of the eating disorders.
5. Develop coping strategies (e.g. feeling identification, problem-solving, assertiveness) to address emotional issues that could lead to relapse of the eating disorder.
