I feel so absent! I have so much that I want to write about, but alas, midterms hit last week. For me, that meant my own midterms as well as grading student papers! It’s been a bit daunting. But, I think I’m in the clear – at least for another week or so.
I’m off to a conference later today – The National Women’s Studies Association – in Atlanta. wOOt! Come on, weather in the 70s!
Hopefully it also means I’ll have some downtime to blog. Some things I’m thinking about – ideas sparked from other blogs (Surfacing after Silence and When Ed Moved In) as well as some things that have come up in support group, with friends, etc – are:
- The role of humor in e.d. treatment and recovery.
- Eating disorders as a “choice”
- Eating disorders, eating disorder recovery, and identity.
- Importance of liking, and feeling liked by, treatment providers.
I’m also WAAAAY behind on reading blogs, so I suspect I’ll be thinking about more as I catch up. And I still need to reply to a couple of comments on my last post! If any of these topics pique your interest, or if you have any thoughts about them, please let me know!

The “Eating disorder as a ‘choice’” is something that my Dr and I are currently talking about–I’m convinced I somehow chose to relapse (which interfered with study) where as he doesn’t believe anyone would “choose” to suffer from an eating disorder.
Oh and humour in recovery… thumbs up! Both my therapists use humour to soften the mood. If I’m unable to say something my Dr will play 20 questions (and always asks “Is it bigger than a bread basket?” LOL) I find it lightens things up, but that’s just me
