Yes, relate so much to this. I’m 48, my BMI is 22.2 (I weighed myself this morning of course). I hope my 3 boys don’t pick up on my restrictive / disordered eating but they probably do which makes me a bit sad.
Thanks for sharing. As a fat bloke (previously morbidly obese, now obese) I have no insight into being thin or a woman, so however tongue in cheek this is, thank you.
Also, 3 stone is 3 stone. That’s a really good effort.
Sadly, when I was very thin (also had anorexia), I couldn't see I was thin. And couldn't even get to gloat or enjoy it a little. Now, well, technically I'm "overweight" (BMI) but I don't think I'm humungous and yet the obsessive eating thoughts still sometimes haunt me. Do you think they ever go away?
Sorry for the late reply. I'm not sure you ever fully recover tbh. I swing between binging and restricting. I am absolutely committed to being sensible this time though. Once I'm safely into a regular BMI I am going to monitor myself and commit to not going back to my previous size.

I think we're very much victims of our teenage years. How could we have grown up in such toxic times and NOT be f*cked up over food?
