Is it possible to lose weight healthily even tho I struggle with an ED? I just want to be more comfortable in my own skin and where anything I want without feeling gross about it. It seems really controversial since I am still recovering....

@mint2579 I am not an expert, but my understanding is that some people who struggle with an eating disorder are considered to be medically overweight, and it is possible for them to lose weight healthily under medical supervision.

I suppose the best person to answer your question is a professional who is helping you to recover from the ED.

It is possible, yes. Better seek professional help though, it's safer. Look for a nutritionist or try to find recommended professionals that work with people with ED. Explain to them your experience and give them enough information so they can tailor a suitable meal plan for you and your nutricional needs.

@mint2579 I was always told it wasn't possible, but I wanna prove them wrong you know? Just loose a lot of weight in a healthy way, and not be overweight. That's really what I want tbh :3
