Bjork, I lost 50 pounds while under the care of a psychiatrist who knew that I had a history of AN and was concerned that it was starting up again. People do not see "thin" unless they have some reason to look for it. You know? It's one of those "takes one to know one" things.
I see signs in those pictures -- the shoulder bones sticking out is a give away, for example -- but then I know that you've got a problem, and I know how difficult it can be when it doesn't show easily. I look for it in women, so I can see it when it's there.
I'm sorry that your feelings were hurt at that other site, and don't know what else to say. Except maybe that I would love to have a candy-apple red patent leather miniskirt.
