Dissociative Identity Disorder & Weight-loss

Simply put, I'm pretty blinking crazy. I'm cool with that. However, having DID and doing the work and knowing that there is, in fact, 8 of me kind of puts me at a loss at times. You see, the body and two others are the only ones over 18. Again, I can deal with that. What's difficult is knowing that three of them HATE the body because it's not cute, tiny, or lovely. (They're 12, 12, and 14.) I can't change the fact that I'm NEVER going to be below 6' tall or stout. This isn't the main problem. The problem I have is one of my alters seriously does not give a single *kitten*. She's rage and fire and apathy and it was her who took charge of our life and managed to get us over 400# because she'd come around and eat. Eat and eat. I love her but she eeeeeats. Two of the three that don't like the body don't eat, or, if they do, they eat very little.

How should I work with this? There is no doctor, therapist, or insurance and hasn't been since I was 16 (11 years ago). Yesterday, one was in charge and ate over 3500 calories., I myself have eaten around 500 calories. I typically don't talk about this sort of thing but I'm at a loss and while I don't expect people to know how to handle it, I don't know who else to ask.

Hey there. I'm not much help as I don't have DID nor do I know much about it. I'm diagnosed with schizophrenia and the majority of people think that means I have multiple personalities. I have to explain that DID is a completely different illness from sz. I don't have any words of wisdom I just didn't want you to be left hangin' out in the thread all by yourself. *Hugs*
