Hi everyone!

@Leslie, thanks! I’m not very familiar with anorexia, but I do know that it takes place in the mind, just like overweight does (well, everything in life begins with a thought). Isn’t anorexia about perfectionism, too? I can see how mirror work (and self-love and forgiveness) would be very beneficial in the healing process.

@Steve, thanks! You’re right, a large portion of food and weight issues start with your thinking, at least that’s what I’ve experienced.

@Tina Su, thank you very much!

JoLynn,
Very interesting post re. forgiveness. Actually, this is sometimes done with women who suffer from EDs like anorexia – they are encouraged to look at themselves in the mirror and say things like, “I forgive you” or “It’s not your fault” — typically these phrases are in reference to something that happened in the past, looking a certain way (beautiful young girl who got lots of attention, for example.) Very inspiring tip.
