Hi there. Gosh, you took the words right out of my mouth!! I've ALWAYS answered people by saying ''if I ate what I really wanted, I'd be the size of a house'', they say no way, but what do they know. I also restrict severely to stay on the low side, but I certainly HAVE been almost obese for my short height!!! I basically live in fear of binging, but that's what restricting does.
Thanks for this!
