Maybe try thinking about it this way? If you haven’t checked it in years chances are you likely haven’t been having anything influential happening due to your weight, like health issues. I have the same problem but thinking about it logically sometimes helps me feel less self-deprecating since at the end of the day, our bodies are just machines that we use to function. If your machine is functioning how it should, then who cares about what weight you ‘should’ be?
it’s difficult because i really don’t want to fall back into ED behavior, but i also know for a fact that i don’t take care of my body the way i should - meaning taking care of it in a way where ill be strong and healthy when im old. finding the balance is so hard especially when i see others complain about “getting fat” and then say a number 60 pounds below my weight. feels like a battle i’ll never win i fear
Hey, as a girl who struggles with this often, I relate to the issue of people complaining about getting fat when you’re heavier than them. It really does feel like an uphill battle, but what might also help is realizing that body dysmorphia is a real thing. While people may think they’re fat at one weight, they don’t see others as fat when they’re above the weight they consider for themselves too fat. Again, as someone who struggles with this too, it doesn’t fix everything sadly
