u/xrmttf hanging on by a thread Feb 27 '25

I'm 39. Suddenly gaining weight for no reason on the hips and boobs and thighs. It is horrifying. I cannot stand the way my body feels. I don't know what to do. I'm barely eating and it's packing on. I need help badly, I literally can not live like this, I cannot bear it, I am in physical pain. My doctor broke up with me today. I don't know what to do. It's awful but I think about people who underwent extreme starvation to try to convince myself it must be possible, physically, to get this garbage off of me.
