Struggling with ED Recovery and Weight Stigma

any overweight people in ED recovery? it's so hard to eat 3 meals a day when everyone around you is telling you to lose weight. I dont know how to recover especially when it feels like if anything I have a failed attempt at a diet, not an ED. How do you do it?

I totally understand how you feel. Everyone is just pressuring you to do better when you're doing your best. I think the best thing to do is just confront your fears and talk to someone.
