is it possible to have anorexia and be overweight? i’ve been overweight for most of my life. i’ve been starving myself both unintentionally and intentionally for months and i’ve reached the point of my body struggling to function. yet i’m still huge

i know i’m overweight bc “childhood obesity” is in my medical records and im currently 260+ at 5’6”. while i am somewhat muscular also i have a big gut and a double chin, and i can’t fit in most roller coaster seats. my medications often cause weight gain and i very likely have an untreated hormonal condition affecting my weight as well

yes. Medically it’s considered “atypical anorexia” but the disordered behavior itself is what’s most relevant. You can be overweight and still have horrible levels show on a blood panel due to malnutrition
