I have often told my therapist that I do not feel like my body is at all a part of me- it is more like a toy- to be dressed up, made up, played with (on a good day), tortured, starved, cut, thrown aside (on a bad day). It's just like this THING I'm stuck in. I have never thought to ask my non-ed friends and/or family if they feel this way as well- I wonder?hmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-68597862516524914762011-11-08T10:14:43.158-05:002011-11-08T10:14:43.158-05:00Reading through the recovery project list left me ...Reading through the recovery project list left me exhausted! However, many of the suggestions seem quite good.

First of all, all great links, so it's not that. It's the fact that some of the criteria for being "recovered" are things that an average woman who has never struggled with an eating disorder couldn't check off a list on her own. <br /><br />-Feeling good about her body image<br />-Not feeling any guilt after overeating or not exercising<br />-not changing eating habits in a social setting, etc. <br /><br />Yes, these things are an important part of recovery, but they're also things many people face that haven't dealt with an ED. I think it can kind of frustrate those who are struggling when they can't attain all of the different levels that are often listed. Don't get me wrong--I know what's normal and what's disordered and know I have a long way to go, but sometimes I think perfection is expected with progress is so individual.<br /><br />Anyway, great round-up, as always.Abbyhttp://www.abbyhasissues.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-79979127502454068862011-11-08T02:56:28.292-05:002011-11-08T02:56:28.292-05:00:)"No shit...":)"No shit..."j.m.r.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10453569417636738404noreply@blogger.com
