Guys, how would you react if you have found your girlfriend used to have (and still sort of does) an eating disorder?

I just recently told my boyfriend of some details like that I lost my period for a while, was underweight etc. and had to gain weight to get my period back. I still am very suspicious of food but I'm more relaxed.

would you think less of her? judge her? would you worry?

I would support her!

To prevent from getting anorexia, make sure you go for a target weight and not "always less".

Calculate what weight you need for a 20 BMI for example and try to maintain that.

Don't just eat little, sporting is much more important for a healthy look.

I have a little eating disorder myself in so far that when I'm really nervous I may eat less and have a dry mouth for a day or so.

It happens max once every 2 months and passes by as it came.

you barely answered my question! lol but thanks?! :)

I would worry very much because I have dealt with girls with legitimate eating disorders. It's not pretty. They are not truly capable of being in a relationship until they seek the help they need. The psychological mechanism driving it will also impact other areas of how you deal with people, especially those closest to you.

I would want to get her help.

I really don't understand eating disorders but I dnt know why anyone would think being that thin is healthy or even attractive.
