I generally really liked Bulik's talk, but were you a little distressed that the only images shown to represent anorexia were EXTREMELY emaciated people? Doesn't it disturb you a little bit that it doesn't represent the anorexic who isn't emaciated?
Good article and authentic/inauthentic self(ves). I have begun, much of the time, to frame much of my resistance to treatment as a sort of "identifying w/the aggressor/abuser" in my head rather than as my own desires and wishes. My authentic self gets so exhausted from the constant intense battling in there that it starts siding w/the inauthentic self just to take a break from the fight.
Loved Ilona's blog post about struggling when "not looking anorexic". It's so on point. That period of limbo between when the body has improved but the brain has not caught up is incredibly difficult to deal with and not relapse.
I was sorry to see in one of the comments though the notion once again that anorexia is not even a disease and to claim such is further proof of dishonesty and denial. Why is it that if the brain malfunctions, it's our fault and if the pancreas for example malfunctions, it's a disease?
