Thank you so much for writing this. I am in the works of writing about my own experiences with Binge Eating Disorder and how it relates to my depression and PTSD. I’ve had similar realizations that, yes, it’s okay to lose weight. We are under no obligation to hold on to the consequences of our illnesses. It’s something that I struggled with for a long time and it wasn’t until I started on antidepressants that I finally made peace with it. It’s amazing how much self loathing influences our thoughts.

Anyway. Thank you for sharing your story.
