I'm not anorexic, but I used to be a few months ago, now I'm a healthy bodybuilder, and I get it, just because I'm not anorexic doesn't mean I don't understand "what people deal with"

I used to be anorexic just like everyone else, so I understand what you are going through, so if you need someone to talk to, or receive advice from someone, I'm here, and I'm also very surpised that my username has not been taken yet.

And I see all these snapchat groups dedicated to anorexic people, and it disgusts me, because I was like that, I used to be anorexic, and I would like to help people who are going through the same thing.

I'm not making fun of anyone, I would just like to help out other people and maybe change their mind.

I'm glad you recovered. :) Thanks and welcome. I don't really have an ED, but I think too much about having a weight that would put my BMI at 15.8. That's exactly at the border between healthy and underweight on the chart I'm using (I'm not an adult yet). I have a current BMI of 17.8, and I'm a bit scared that I'll develop an ED. It probably wasn't a good idea coming to this website.

It's really nice that you're trying to help others. :)
