My Eating Disorders

“An eating disorder is not who you are” a therapist once told me.  As I think about it seems like a pretty true statement.  The issue I have is separating my eating disorder (bulimia) from who I really am (a beautiful talented person).  I feel in many ways I would be losing the thing which has made me and gotten me all th attention.  So what I want to know is how do I do that?
