I(previously recovered) just found out I’m considered medically obese in Asian BMI (as an Asian woman)

A Reddit post sent me spiraling down into searching about how BMIs are different for Asian women, and I found out that 23 bmi+was considered overweight and bmi 27+ was considered obese. I’m considered obese at exactly 27 bmi.

I admit, I’ve been binge eating recently because of period hormones & stress, lots of stress but I thought I was healthy, at least about my mindset toward food before this. Now, I’m obese. Im obese. I’m actually, literally obese in the Asian measurement.

My lowest weight was at the edge of “overweight” and “normal”, 22bmi. And this was when I was the proudest of myself in 2020, after starving myself for months, I lost so much weight and hit 22bmi.

But then I regained it all because obviously, eating disorders aren’t sustainable. I relapsed multiple times between 2020-now but I never considered myself obese, just overweight.

I don’t know what to do anymore. I’ve tried everything, every diet, exercise, intuitive eating, over exercising, exercising within my comfort zone, under eating, eating within my comfort zone.

And now I find out that I might have to f***ing relapse, heavily restrict because I’m obese. Just Because I’m an Asian woman. I thought I wasn’t too far from the normal range. But now I feel like the road ahead is bleak and hopeless. I thought if I just put my mind into it, I could get to a “normal” weight. But apparently not. Even my lowest weight ever wasn’t enough.
