Who are you?
 

Hi everybody!

I foud that "game" on another forum about binge eating and thought it was great, so I stole it....

Describe who you are.
What you like to do, what kind of person you are, the things you believe in and stand for.
What kind of friend are you to yourself and others?
You cannot mention your ED at all. You cannot mention what you look like in anyway.

It reminded me of a conversation with a friend I had a time ago. I told her that you have to say "Hi, I am Katrin and I am a alcoholic, a drug addict and a bulimic" before you speak in AA and OA. She said that she wouldn´t like it because a person is so much more than just the sum of her illnesses. Or her weight.....or the dress size.....

Anybody interested in participating?? :^:

My first-ever post here at 3fatchicks
 

Hello, everyone.

I'm a wife and have been married to my husband for 7 1/2 years (we dated for 9 years before that).

I'm the proud aunt of two nieces (ages 4, and 3 weeks) and a nephew (age two).

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE music. PRINCE is my all-time favorite. But there are about 50 other artists tied for second!

I really enjoy reading.

Though I never went to college, I enjoy writing and would love to take some classes at some point (if money and/or time weren't issues). My family is pretty interesting, my father especially. I'd like to someday write a book about them.

I love almost anything comical and will watch the same movies and TV shows over and over and over again if they make me laugh ("Arrested Development" and anything Bill Murray are my favorites.)

I like scrapbooking and making cards (though I'm far too disorganized to truly accomplish anything!)

I've got Borderline Personality Disorder but am taking classes and in therapy and see mental wellness on the horizon!! (Bless my husband, family, co-workers, and friends for putting up with me and my moodiness!!)

Already, I feel as though this is a safe, supportive environment and I'm happy to be here!

MaebeFunke, I just wanted to welcome you to 3FatChicks! :welcome3:
We're so glad to have you here. I hope you'll join us on the other threads. :hug:
