My Eating Disorder and My IdentityI have been thinking about how much of my identity is wound up in the eating disorder, so much so that sometimes it's seemed like ED is the only thing in my life, like I am ED. I have been scared to take away the eating disorder cause I wasn't sure what was there, if anything at all. What if I hated the person beneath the ed? What if there was noone there.... I am in treatment and have been behaviour free for three weeks. I guess I am finding out, or trying to find out who I am....
Anyway, here's my art idea. I'm gonna get a big roll of paper, maybe wallpaper, and have someone draw my outline lying down.
Then I'm going to fill 'me' with images, words, photos, anything that symbolises me, says who I am, WITHOUT ED. I'm not gonna mention the ed or weight or anything that goes with that. I just want to know who I am. Maybe I'll put some stuff in about recovery, but it will be about where I am going in the future and not where I was in the past.
Anyway, that's my idea, anyone any thoughts on it?

If you wake up one day to find that nothing is as it was before, then it's possible that you have only just begun to truly live.
