I'm glad you are feeling better about the weight stuff. I didn't exactly sneak food but I would take it to places I likely wouldn't be seen and eat a lot when I was in high school. I had sexual abuse from an uncle, verbal & physical from my father. I know those feelings so well. No one in ever made fun of my weight; I got to chubby at best in high school, but I felt enormous, couldn't wear the skinny jeans and stuff. College came, I exercised, weight came off, I got praised, exercised more & more & ate less, hello ED. It's an issue 20 years later. Ugh. Nearly all people with an ED have a background of abuse and those shameful feelings, not to mention shameful feelings about food, whether you have anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, any ED pretty much.

I'm so sorry to hear about your stepdad
