I would like to apologize to everyone

There are many others on this board who I hope read your post and can learn from your example. You should be proud of yourself for seeking the help that you needed. I sincerely wish you the best in your recovery.

To the others reading this, if it seems like a lot of the time, there are many of us who raise red flags and mention to posters about potential eating disorders. We are not just being killjoys. A lot of the time concerning behavior can be a precursor to some form of disordered eating, whether full blown ED or not. So I hope if there are other posters who are often being to seek professional treatment, that they don't just write us off, but take it to heart. As you have.

You have no reason to apologize and I’m so happy that you are able to get the treatment that you need. We are all just trying our best.

Praying for you ❤️

I kept on asking about weight loss and people were getting sick of me. Turned out I have atypical anorexia nervosa so the last six months I’ve been in recovery getting treatment for an eating disorder that’s why I was so obsessed with losing weight. So sorry to everyone I upset and Thankyou to the people who knew there was something wrong with me and told me to get help.

Thank you so much for the update!

So many times, when the more knowledgeable posters raise red flags on someone's thread, the OP gets defensive, angry, calls everyone bullies or worse and then just disappears. At times like that, I often wonder what eventually happened to them. Most times, we never know.

The two things that continue to make it worthwhile - for me at least - to continue reaching out is that even if the OP isn't ready to consider what we're saying, perhaps someone else just reading along recognizes themselves in what the OP is going through and perhaps *they* seek help.

The other thing that makes it worthwhile is the rare times - like this one - where the OP comes back with a fabulous update such as yours.
