Default Identify Shift

I am choosing to shift my perspective. I no longer view myself as HAVING an ED, rather I have HAD an ED.

In essence it is becoming a thing of the past. I still feel the desires surface but I remain aware and just notice them. They irratate me but I just notice them.

The shape and body obsessed thinking has stopped. I can't remember why or when I just notice I notice people's clothes and make up, clothes and fashion and just glide over peoples weight. I notice overweight people and I feel compassion instead of disgust.

I still can't handle being around other people with eating disorders. I find their behaviors very challenging as I wish to leave all of that behind. I have honestly seen everything there is to see in ED world. It is well and truly time to move on.
