@elainaefird: When the focus is only on weight, it’s problematic. It’s not ok to overlook starvation and bingeing (oh and occasional purging) just to see weight loss.
I remember being congratulated by a Dr for losing almost 30lb in a month. when I told her that I was being extremely restrictive some days, my Dr literally told me to keep doing what I was doing.

This was me, 3+ hours in the gym daily, 1000cals or less. 0 treatment because I was "within a healthy weight range"

I’m at 315 (6’) after recovery, birth control, and gaining muscle, and in EVERY SINGLE clinical note, they put obesity despite the fact that I’m the healthiest I’ve ever been. It’s genuinely insane.

Doctors only care about restriction. They don’t get the nuances of nutrition at all 🤦🏼♀️

I remember when I lost like 30 pounds because I had an undiagnosed chronic illness and my doctor congratulated me and didn’t try to get me help. Started seeing a new doctor, gained back more weight,-

No one took me seriously when I struggled with the same thing. 5’7”, went from 215 to 170 eating basically nothing + working out obsessively. But I wasn’t underweight and “not sick enough” for help.

I had this and did ED treatment and stabilized and didn’t lose any weight for a year. Once I was able to stop my ED behaviors I started my weight loss of 100 pounds but it took 3.5 years.

I gained weight, plateaued then lost a little down to what I weigh now all while eating/exercising the same amount. Once the body knows it's safe it will start using nutrients normally again.

I recently met with an RD who told me I should aim for 1200-1500 cals b/c I’m short. (But also weight train 4 d/wk)I find ~1700 is the avg I eat in a day when I track and 1200-1500 would be too low

just curious, how do you cope with being fired and not being able to help? I feel like I would be homeless because I would want to help everyone who truly needed it for free 😭

When I was thin my dr was concerned but now that I’ve abstained from ED behaviors and gained a bunch of weight I was referred for gastric bypass 💀
