Thank you for sharing your story, Si!
I was able to relate, although I’m on the other side of the coin — the skinny girl that everyone made fun of because of my lack of weight! Ironically, I too became anorexic back in high school and college and transformed into an even skinnier version of my naturally skinny self! My goal was to disappear and I got pretty close to accomplishing just that; I was so unhealthy I would probably have died had I not turned things around for myself. Since college, I’ve gained back lost weight and am now the skinny middle-aged woman. Others don’t ridicule me as much, or maybe I’ve just learned to tolerate their judgement, because people will always judge for better or for worse.
Kudos to you for making your story public and sharing your pain as well as your joy! Cheers
