Great to meet you!
Our weight-centric culture chastises & shames you for your body with a mix of pity & disgust, as though your size is not only a personal moral failing, but a reliable indicator of poor health. Over time, you internalized the stigma, treating yourself with similar contempt. You’re treated like a pariah when seeking medical care, met with weight stigma far more harmful than your weight itself. You forgot how to nourish yourself – restricting food, hating yourself for a binge, "paying" via purge.
