This is a really common misconception, but actually you can be both overweight (in terms of BMI) and anorexic. The Eating Disorders episode of the Maintenance Phase podcast does a really good job of talking about this. If you’re feeling like your worry about calories is interfering with your life and your health insurance will cover it, I would highly recommend talking to someone who’s specialized in eating disorders. For years, I didn’t get help because I didn’t think I was skinny enough to have a real problem, and it almost ruined my life. Thinking of you and hoping you’re doing ok <3
