I'm really tired of my eating disorder being ENCOURAGED since I'm overweight... I'm borderline overweight, let me clarify, I have a BMI of 28.0. BEFORE my eating disorder I was 26.7. At the peak of my eating disorder I was 23.8. But my binge eating got WAY out of control when I moved back into my mom's house after attempting suicide and gained nearly 30 pounds... :/

    You're not overweight by World Health Organization standards, and that might be part of the reason that people in your life aren't concerned, because your weight is healthy and they're more worried that you might hurt yourself. Please be good to yourself. There is plenty of time in life to lose weight if that is what you want. Being alive and getting well is what matters most. You can log here on MFP, and get help for your eating disorder, no matter which way it is swinging now.
