Is anyone here recovering from an eating disorder?
Has LC helped you manage more than just your weight, like self-image?
How do you keep the focus on health rather than appearance?


In my life, I've gained and lost nearly 100 pounds. I was bulimic from age 13-20. I grew up in a culture where looking a certain way was believed to be the only thing a woman should concern herself with. Then I moved to America, where people were a little more subtle about comments on my appearance but not always. For this reason, I was fat-shamed more often when my BMI was 20-23 than when it was 27-31. I'm currently at a BMI of 24, aiming to be no less than 22-23. I believe it is more important for me to eat regularly, well and manage my T2/PCOS than it is for me to look good, though I admit it is a nice bonus.

Looking forward to knowing about your experiences.
