Outside our workshop were posters of statements about eating disorders that arose on day one. However post-its were available to write your own thoughts so as an ambassador I wrote LOADS!
An Italian minister stopped to talk to me after I had written that eating disorders are more than just a diet; after a comment was written implying they were. He wasn't impressed with the outdated comment and praised me for standing up to it =]
Here are the statements I wrote.
Eating disorders workshop
Pro recovery!
Eating disorders are more than just weight and food
I am more than just my appearance
I am going to love myself flaws and all!
Recovery is about finding out who you really are and regaining your identity.
Goodbye anorexia!
ED sufferers have a voice too
EDS are NOT about being as thin as possible
I am an example that EDS can be beaten. Recovered anorexic
Eating disorders are NOT a diet gone wrong
Italy should have their own eating disorders charity
Motivate us! Don’t say we can’t do something
We are stronger than you think!
