This is non-debatable. Weight stigma is not nuanced. There is no exception for some people but not others. If your response is that you’ve never seen an eating disorder present this way or that these must be anomaly cases, it’s not that you don’t have enough clinical experience, it’s because you completely missed the human in front of you as a result of weight bias. Here’s a great read to scratch the surface: https://www.gaudianiclinic.com//eating-disorders-come-in-a

Restriction (dieting or eating disorder) suppresses hunger because the body slows functions and systems for preservation. This is protective when the body’s needs are high but resources are low. Diet culture literally sells tricks to try and achieve this ‘appetite suppressant’. Please recognize this as disordered. Appetite is purposeful. Hunger is purposeful. Hunger can feel scary to trust if you aren’t used to feeling it regularly. Learning to familiarize and respond to the ...signals (yes, there are different kinds of signals) of hunger is the work of healing. Other signals of hunger: - Headache - Feeling light headed - Increased anxiety - Mood changes - Lack of energy - Shakiness - Feeling faint or weak - Increased thoughts about food

When the mental chatter says, Ignore that hunger. How could you possibly need to eat again? Lean into the inner wisdom that says, Hunger is a biological signal unique to me. My body is communicating to me. Food is the answer. When the mental chatter says, This is too many calories.... Lean into the inner wisdom that says, But how does this food make you feel. Calories are simply energy and you need lots of energy. When the mental chatter says, Yes, makes sense for everyone else, but not you. Lean into the inner wisdom that says, This body is capable, lovable and acceptable at all times. Your needs are valid and deserve to be met.
