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??
