When I was older, and no longer "useful" to my father and his desires, he would pick on my weight. I ran the spectrum from purging to anorexia, depending on how I was feeling. I don't purge anymore, but I sure can starve myself, there's something that actually feels good about it!
I now know my father was an idiot, that young girls' bodies change and grow, and for many of us, putting on weight is natural. I watch my own daughter go through it and I just comfort her that it's part of the natural growing process, which is not something my father thought of.
But getting to thin is more noticeable to those around me and I have to still work on that (not a problem now unfortunately). I just know that when I get into that state that something is working behind the scenes. I know you know this, but I just wanted to send some love and support your way. You are going through so much right now and I'd help more if I could.
