I just asked a question in another section a minute ago, mentioning the fact that I was 106 lbs, size 0 and half the answers I received were people insisting I had an eating disorder, even after I explained to them that I likely have an overactive thyroid and had tried to gain weight. It wasn't even a health question, I was asking about clothing sizes. Yes, I am noticeably thin, but I feel fine, and have no health concerns except for some minor symptoms associated with my thyroid. I appreciate the concern and I know they think they are being helpful, but I get annoyed when people keep telling me I must have an eating disorder.
I'm 22 , 5'5 and106 lbs, never weighed more than 110 lbs, and have never had any health concerns regarding my weight. Is it really that bad, or do people just not believe that anyone can be that thin without having an eating disorder?
