I am still eating and eating, ups and downs emotionally. I hate to admit I often told myself if I could just be anorexic, but it's not the point, the eating is a symptom..However there seems to be a much harsher light shown on over weight people or those with food issues, addictions and disorders. You are seen as weak, no self control, just need to diet and exercise, etc. People have a much harder time associating any sympathy with people who are over weight I have been both obese and very this, when my binge eating was under co Tyrol and in remission is what I called it. When I was thin if I had a headache, was sleepy etc it was because I didn't eat enough and everyone wanted to take care of me or thought something might be truly wrong. Fast forward several years and I've gained some weight back, now I hear "you would feel so much better if you just got some weight off, got moving around" well really I don't or I wouldn't have gained the weight back because I was very active and thin and then became super depressed, I didn't see myself as thin, I became increasingly upset and disappointed with myself my looks, how I did things, everything about myself.
