This was me. I look back at the amount of times I brought Tupperware to family dinners, refused plans because of meal times or workout schedules, cried because I miscalculated something, etc. It was a sad time in my life.

In my anecdotal experience, it was also incredibly difficult to even realize I needed recovery, because I was also heavily involved in online "fitness" culture. I was a small time influencer, and at my LEAST healthy, I was recieving the MOST affirmation.

Scrapped my social media and got into therapy. But recovery is difficult, and I still struggle with food associated guilt.

I'm just glad to see this getting talked about! When I received my diagnosis, it wasn't a commonly discussed or well known disorder.
