Calling all stories… from persons without eating disorders

(First, let me just say that it’s darn cold where I live.  Dang.  I mean, I usually don’t worry too much about the weather, but this is bitter.)

Anyway, I just wanted to ask for some help with a little project I’m working on here at Breaking the Mirror.  See, I’d like to get some stories of people without eating disorders who have in some way been affected by the eating disorders of others.  Moms, dads, friends, sisters, brothers, co-workers, et cetera are all invited to contribute their experiences.

I think that sometimes we forget the impact of our eating disorders.  We get so wrapped up in ourselves that we neglect to consider how our eds can really change the lives of those around us. 

My plan is to publish (anonymously, if wished) some tales on this blog (provided anyone would like to share!)  If you’re interested in helping me with this project, ”EDs: From the Other Side”, please send your up to 400 word story to lemonpepr(at)aol(dot)com.  (Bylines can be given.)

I look forward to hearing from all the people who visit Breaking the Mirror who do not have eating disorders but who have been affected by them in some way.  Thank you!
