10."Probably because of the culture surrounding eating. A few of my friends told me how attractive I would be if I lost weight when I was 1718. They also explained how most men didn't like me because I was skinny. My BMI was just under 25 so I wasn't overweight. However, I was not far from it, especially when compared to them. Because the feedback was so high, I became anorexic in 1820. Despite having a BMI of 2223, I was able to recover, but not enough for my mom or others. Friends and family continued to share this cycle for many years. It was exhausting, with the constant struggle between being too thin and not enough.
