    I know this might not sound positive but people with eating disorders should try to speak to a therapist about it because eating disorders can end up being horrible for your health

      Although it is true what you say and I do agree, I also read between your lines that maybe you don’t know how difficult and (life)long that process is.

      An eating disorder is a disease/issue that honestly isn’t solvable, you carry that weak point for the rest of your life and will have to battle it. Which with eating is extra difficult, since you have to eat. You can’t stay sober from food.

      (But maybe I misunderstood your words (being written text without further context). )

        This is why I’m not against drugs like Ozempic for those who need it.

        I used a new medication to make me not want opiates. Used it for about two years until I had enough healthy habits in place to actually not want opiates. Been clean for 6 years and off the medication for over a year without issue.

        Never would have gotten clean without it so it makes sense to me how people end up obese.
