This is last Wednesday's video for the ED recovery collaboration. The topic was: respecting our bodies and dealing with clothing sizes.

Oh god. I totally know what you’re getting at with "giving the numbers on the tags power".
Once I went shopping with my mom, and when I tried a small and she asked if I wanted to try it in a large -I died!
My world just fell apart and I felt like burning the store... With myself in it.
The “large” tag just screamed F-A-T to me!! Failure! Ugly! And it ruined the entire shopping spree.
I have come to accept... Nah, maybe just tolerate, that I am not a small. This realication came from my classmate. A sweet girl who is my size, and she always dresses in a small... And it really doesn't suite her. And like me she does not want to wear a larger size.
Funny, huh? How a number is so much to us…

You are so right. As I've gotten older I've struggled more with how clothes fit and look. Thanks for sharing your insight. Blessings, SusanD
i absolutely love this.. i'm emailing it to my mom... one of the most liberating experiences in recovery was getting rid of my "skinny" clothes. it was SO hard, but after i finally got rid of them, i didn't have this arbitrary standard staring me in the face every day. now, everything in my closet fits. and if it doesn't.. i throw it out. i feel better about myself when my clothes actually fit, REGARDLESS of what size they are.
This was GREAT!!! I never thought of it like the blind weight's. Thanks!
