We did a great workshop a few years back, though it was less eating disorder and more body image, but pretty related. We looked at myths and truths of bodies. Like the % of women who look like a model, things like that. Then we did the longer term stuff. Everyone got a slip of paper that said something posititve about respecting your self, loving who you are etc. Then we each had little bags that we decorated to reflect ourselves. (The kind you get from the commons) and everyone wrote something nice and put it in that person's bag. Then everyone got to take their bags home and had a month (we had 30ish women) worth of copliments. I got a lot of great feed back because it carried the idea past the two hour event and helped when you had a crappy day or just needed a good thought before class.
