Anorexia can affect people in many different body types
You do not have to be underweight to be diagnosed with Anorexia. In fact most people who have Anorexia are not underweight. Someone can be in a larger body and meet criteria for Anorexia too. Anorexia is characterized by restriction and significant weight loss.
BMI is outdated
BMI is not an accurate measure of where a healthy weight is for a person. Multiple factors go into an ideal body weight, and an ideal body weight for one person is different from an ideal body weight for someone else. People can be healthy at many different weights. I will collaborate with your doctor and/or dietitian to determine what a healthy weight is for you. A healthy weight is where your body wants to be versus where you think your body should be. We can help you learn how to trust your body.
Nothing atypical about it
Anorexia is Anorexia regardless of your weight. People in many different body types at many different sizes are affected by Anorexia. If someone loses a significant amount of weight in a short amount of time, is restricting their diet, and experiencing significant body image distress, they absolutely meet criteria for a diagnosis.
