22 years old, 167 cm (5'5).
I've been struggling with my weight since I was about 13 - got diagnosed with anorexia by 15 when I dieted so much that my weight dropped to 43 kg (95 lb). That obviously caused a bunch of health issues, some of which turned out to be irreversible..
I gained around 20 kg (44 lb) in just 2 months after my parents decided to give me a hormonal treatment for my anorexia. The treatment that I was given was later found to be completely incorrect - I felt and looked horrible but I was already overweight by the time I was taken off of those meds.
Thankfully, I was able to receive suitable treatment for my conditions later on but the weight that I gained back then didn't go anywhere - I've been trying to lose those excess 45 lbs for years now.
Update: I did it!! 6 years have passed but I'm finally below 110 lb again! I'm so happy and grateful to my own past self - all that stress and pain was worth it!
