Exactly! Just because my BMI puts me in the obese category doesn’t mean I’m not at least kind of disordered. I lost 50lbs in less than five months before and ended up losing my period. I was restricting and self harming and taking laxatives and over exercising. But because I was overweight to start and overweight still after all that suddenly it’s not valid. If I was 100lbs of skin and bones THEN they would take it seriously it’s bull ****.
