Thank you for sharing your story. After decades of disordered eating, I was finally diagnosed with bulimia in my 40s. Sometimes I would remove food; more often, I would engage in extreme exercise (which eventually caused me to become injured, and I’m still dealing with knee pain two years later). I’ve spent so much of my life, so much time and energy, hating my body, even when I was actually thin. I’ve gained a lot of weight in perimenopause and feel so uncomfortable in my own skin. I am in active recovery, but I’m definitely a work in progress. It helps me to know I’m not alone.
