So in case no one knew, yes I have an eating disorder history. I have been in recovery for about six years, since Joji pretty much nursed me back to health when I got together with him. Yes, its possible to be overweight and have an ED history or an ED and I was overweight at the time, but it doesnt devalue the mental illness. I have been struggling not to relapse whilst getting healthy so Im not perfect, but so far Im doing alright. And yes, I am losing weight for my HEALTH. No I dont mean to say that being bigger means anyone is unhealthy, it does NOT equate to that, but being at a higher weight with my family history puts me at risk for a lot of different diseases, so I am losing weight, but more importantly I am trying to build muscle and trying to eat healthier, not really lose weight foremost, but as a side effect. Not to mention, I do actually have to lose weight because right now I cannot go through top surgery at this weight. Please do not scold me, do not preach at me, and do not think I have any body shaming tendencies or that I am unaware that there are people who are my size who are healthy, but I need to do this and I am doing this. My body, my choice, and if I think I need to lose weight to put myself at less a risk of getting certain diseases, then I will. I know I run a high risk of relapse back into EDs but if I remain a the weight I am on the path I am, then I could potentially die, and I wont be able to have any surgery to make my transition.
