| Confused about ideal weight
I am so confused about what I should weigh! For years I have been struggling for answers and I'm no closer. There are so many height/weight charts out there and they're all different. Then to top it off, when I'm within the normal limits of those charts, people say I'm underweight. Friends try to "intervene" or back away completely. One girl even said she thought I must be on crack because I was so skinny. I do have an eating disorder and what I see in the mirror is much larger than other people claim to see. I can't rely on myself OR the damn medical charts. But how can it be that I'm underweight when medical charts say I'm not? Tonight I saw my shrink and I noticed he wrote down my ideal weight which is what I weighed a year ago when friends and family were freaking out on me. Please don't post weight charts for me, I don't want to trigger anyone or get myself even more irritated about the issue. Not sure what I want besides a chance to vent. This is my first post on the ED board.
