Dear Worrier29,

Unfortunately, we have no say where our body distributes fat, nor where we lose it from, we can only be mindful with our food intake and exercise. I'm sorry it's affected you so badly and would urge you to get professional advice.

This is a peer to peer support forum for weight loss, we are not qualified to give advice to someone with an eating disorder and no matter how well-intentioned our advice may be, we could be putting your health at risk if we get it wrong.

There is a charity called BEAT that specialises in eating disorders beateatingdisorders.org.uk/... , they, or your doctor/dietitian will be able to point you in the best direction.

Wishing you all the very best
