It's so hard to get past it when years later, eating normally but still weighing low (I think due to a combination of exercise and loss of appetite from ulcer surgery), you try on something small, and it fits. OMG. The other day I had an appointment with my gastroenterologist. I had taken out shorts but not a top. My daughter had had insomnia the night before and finally fell asleep in our bed, and I didn't want to risk waking her. I went into her room, pulled out a youth large T-shirt from our church, and it fit. The shirt is a little big on my daughter but not much. Stupid ED thoughts were over the moon.
