TW for disordered eating

(Anonymous) 2013-12-09 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
"Go to this clinic for teenagers with weight problems" which led to "Eat half the amount you eat right now."

Because growing up below the poverty line, with three of five of us kids suffering from a serious medical condition, sure meant we could afford good food and obviously my problem was over-eating. My problem was that I had to eat a certain amount because I was diabetic and required a set amount of exchanges a day, and the food we could afford meant those exchanges came with a fair amount of fat. And there's ridiculous amounts of medical fuckery going on too. My problems with my weight were a lot more complicated than just eating too much.

And now, thanks to that clinic and their assumptions and their not even asking any of us how much we ate (and I know I wasn't the only one whose problem was more complicated than that), I don't actually know what a reasonable portion looks like and I feel guilty every time I eat, I've fucked up my metabolism through binge-and-restrict cycles, and I feel bad spending money on food.

Just to clarify: advising me to go to the clinic wasn't in and of itself bad advice. It was bad advice because it was coming from my doctor who should have asked why I was having trouble with my weight rather than just assuming I ate too much.
