Why do you feel you "have" to lose weight? Is your health in danger if you don't lose weight? Or is this the ED talking?

EDs have a way of making us feel we need to be a certain weight in order to accept ourselves. This is a lie. Please find help asap because you can heal and you deserve to heal.

May I ask what ED you have? It make a big difference, when it comes to a solution. I have a severe food aversion and a hypersensitivity to textures and consistencies. It affects my weight loss options. Also, why do you need to lose weight? Is it a health based reason, are you just generally unhappy with how you feel or look, or a combination of things? Knowing why you need to lose weight, can give you a bit more direction.
