When I was anorexic, I never saw myself as fat.
Because of this, my doctor refused to give me a formal 'Anorexia Nervosa' diagnosis. (I was tagged under "Low weight Bulimic").
It was only after I pretended that I thought I was fat did he slap the correct diagnosis on me, wasting years of valuable time where I could have been getting the appropriate help.
I've often wondered if I would have made a speedier recovery if the ED had been caught more quickly.
