Eating Disorders Support Group
Eating disorders are marked by an obsessive need to control the intake and/or purging of food. This community is dedicated to those struggling on the road to recovery. Join to discuss your experience with others and find support. Get advice, ask questions, and meet others who are going through similar struggles.
So, if a woman starts off at 250 pounds and starves herself down and restricts and calorie counts obsessively, at what magical weight (a number on the scale? Her BMI?) is she considered "Anorexic"? It makes no sense to me. Dangerous mindsets and behaviours around eating should all be treated as equally serious no matter what a woman's BMI or weight is.
Do you know why you gained the weight? Is it due to some medical condition or have you been having a rough time in general?
