Question about being "finished" with weight loss

[jess9395 5,449]

I find all kinds of support for those that regain. Yet, very little support for those of us that have become or have Anorexic tendencies. Which is what is happening to me.

It's probably simply because there are many more people in the first boat than the second. There are some on here that post about that struggle though. Most of us just have no clue how to help and support because we haven't been there.

I do agree you should probably seek some professional help--doc, dietician, therapist.

Good luck to you wth your struggles!!!

Anne you are welcome to pm me. I am struggling with this as well. Some people on here have been extremely rude to me, even saying that I'm obsessed with myself and flaunting my weight loss- so I can definitely identify with the lack of support on a forum where many people are still struggling to lose weight and or keep it off.

There are also a lot of kind and supportive people on here so that's why I keep coming back.

I've noticed a lot more posts lately from people struggling with too much weight loss and I'm pretty sure it's a common problem. I think people on here are afraid to talk about it for fear of skinny shaming or lack of understanding. Many people on here still in the process just can't wrap their heads around being TOO thin.

Well they may be in for a surprise. Maintaining weight after surgery is a huge struggle for me. Pm me all you want.

Did you do a pre-op psych eval? Is there anyway you could go and talk with the psychologist about this? There is a fairly common mental block called body dysmorphic disorder, where the person is so used to seeing their old self it really is hard for them to recognize how far they have come.
