growing up fat meant getting praised for the same behaviors my skinny friends were getting institutionalized for

Anonymous 12w

you're right that people don't take eating disorders seriously unless someone is like skin and bones but even skinny people still get praised overlooked for those behaviors. growing up my dad always told me he wished he could starve himself like I do lol. no one ever stopped or helped me either

I developed a severe GI disease about 5 years ago and lost 100lbs before my doctors cared. They even said it was GOOD I was losing some weight. And even then all they said was “you can stop now”. Actually no I can’t, that’s the problem! Honestly the craziest thing I ever experienced.

basically what happened to me too! i lost 100lbs too, and i can’t put any of it back on either. my stomach and intestines are all types of fucked up, and i’m gonna be sick for the rest of my life. and i LOVE how doctors are like “you’re skinny, don’t you feel better now?” bitch NO!

Right?! I felt so much better when I was fat. I didn’t mean to lose any weight at all (should I have? Probably. But I was like 16 I had bigger things to worry about). But now I can only regain like 10lbs of that max, have new allergies (people think I have that tick disease 🤦‍♀️), and almost needed a feeding tube. But my pant size is single digits now so it’s all good right/s???
