LOTR and Anorexia

This is a great idea from Blogxygen. So I will play too!!! Who would play who if my life in recovery were the Lord of the Rings series. Here’s what I came up with:

I would be Frodo.

My eating disorder is the ring/Sauron/the eye. (BITCH)

Travis would be Sam-wise Gamgee because
a. He’s in love with me and I'm a girl not a little furry hobbit, so it's not gay.
b. He follows me around, or gets drug by me, to lurk and do odd adventures.
c. He would take the ring from me if he could and destroy it.
d. When I allow it, he cooks for me, not rabbit stew.
e. He buys flowers for me.

My lady, the therapist, would be Gandalf the Grey because she’s rescued me from myself and my denial of a real eating disorder. She's incredibly wise and knows everything about the 'eye'. She’s leading the journey against me destroying the RING aka Eating Disorder and knows that I, Frodo, am the only one that can fling it into the fiery depths of Mordor.

Dr. Floyd would be Aragorn. They’re both VERY good looking and have kind eyes. .Aragorn gives Frodo lots of good advice and makes Frodo step on his sword to weigh her.

My ladys and friends are Pippin and Meri, the other hobbits. They are helping along the journey to destroy the ring. They keep me entertained with big hugs, lots of laughs, second breakfasts and PINTS!

Mama is Gimli, that’s a COMPLIMENT because I just love Gimli. He never wavers in his quest to help Frodo and fights hell and high water to make sure he succeeds.

Papa's Legolas. Both super organized and calculating and Legolas and my dad never miss anything they’re trying to do and what they aim for they always achieve. If my dad has my recovery on his to-do list, then dammit, it’ll get done!

My old doctor (who shall not be named), would be Boramir because she’s a decietful, cold lady who went all rogue and just told me to say screw the quest and go to Wisconsin. Mordor is not on the way to Wisconsin. She started out good, and on the quest with me, then tried to just say screw it and forgot about me due to her own insanities.

Who would be Gollom? I can throw him in the ring with my eating disorder/the battle between wanting to get better and wanting to continue. So devious!!!
