Thank you for sharing this ??

The other thing I wish people would understand about ED is that gaining weight is not the same as recovery. Just because someone gains weight doesn’t mean their relationship with food has improved or that they’re not still engaging in unhealthy behaviours.

In the past few years, I’ve had three friends pass away suddenly from complications of eating disorders. These were people who outwardly had moved on with their lives but unfortunately still suffered and their bodies couldn’t cope with a decade of mistreatment.

With the way that ED behaviours are accepted and even glamorised it’s easy to think that these behaviours can be utilised as tools to lose/maintain weight. To anyone suffering, even if you’re not unhealthily thin or you don’t think your symptoms are serious enough, please seek help ?
