12 stone - in USA terms that means you weigh in at 168 pounds something... for our USA ABers. So how do you feel about the diagnoses? Is it accurate TO YOU (Don't think what others may think, lets focus on what you know about yourself) Do you binge eat? Do you starve yourself to lose weight? Do you have self esteem issues and view yourself as way too fat? According to the BMI chart and what I assume is your gender you are only overweight (given the data I have) this is not grossly fat. Do you see your self as grossly fat? How you eat and how your perceive yourself are the underlying issues that the doctors considered. How you look has little to do with the diagnoses. Since I wasn't there at the office when you and doctor had your little chat I do not know what was said or upon what this diagnoses was based. I can only assume you said things or indicated things which strongly suggested that you are anorexic/bulimic. If you binge eat and purge you can look normal - however the behavior says otherwise. Since you have a duel diagnosis I can only assume that the chat you had with doctor was a very interesting one indeed. Since you measured in stone I assume you are in the UK, my link for you do you tell is from the UK: http://www.anorexiabulimiacare.co.uk/ If that does not meet your needs then ring up the doctor and ask him/her for referrals to others to help you to work through the issues you have when it comes to food. Trust me, professionals will understand the diagnoses. And since you put both issues together here, anorexia and bulimia here lay-persons you speak to will most likely understand that your is complex and wouldn't just be starvation.
