This to me makes perfect sense and is sadly something I have come across as well. I started out overweight and b/p like you, felt like it wasn't taken seriously by the therapist I was seeing (never mind that I was drinking epicac syrup). This was when I was a teen and I wish it would have been dealt with more seriously. A couple years later I was put IP and nurse said something to the effect that they get plenty of people in there worse off than I was so I shouldn't be crying- I never forgot that. Now, that was just one crappy nurse but in my eating disordered mind, I never felt worthy or that anyone would believe how much I struggled.

Now, many years later, I feel even when I meet full anorexia nervosa criteria that I am never bad off enough to need help...I think the way it was minimized early on plays a role in that.

I would suggest to you that you find someone (a therapist) who is specially trained in eating disorders because they understand that it has nothing to do with weight or what your bmi is....they know you can be any size and seriously suffering.
