I guess I probably should have mentioned something about the title and how I came to it in my inaugural post but needless to say there was a lot to cover and it sort of slipped my mind.
So with that, after brainstorming over countless witty, potential names I found most of which were already taken (However, last I checked Feed This Bitch was still up for grabs if you're interested.) I finally came to More Than A Fork because I wanted this to be more than just about the physical eating disorder and more about the behavior behind it. Just as when I was thin I really needed more than a forkful of food to help me, as a larger person now, I know I need more than forkful of vegetables to solve my problems. And so a blog was born. Get it?
Moving right along, this week's "homework" assignment was to think about the values I have as a person, as more than just a body. And I'm sad to say I found this really hard to do. If you asked me what I value about my friends I can list trust, empathy, sense of humor, intelligence, etc., but when I have to sit down and think about what I bring to the table I can't help but draw blanks.
It's not that I believe I'm completely worthless. I don't. I promise I'm not that melodramatic anymore. It's just really difficult for me to think about myself in this way. I've spent the last couple of days with a pen and paper determined to come up with this list and I wind up just getting distracted and doing the dishes or something else....So at least I've been cleaning, right?
Anyways, this is what I will be working on for the next couple of days.
Can you come up with a list of values you have?
