Thank you all so much for your replies. You guys truly are a great family

I was bawling while I typed that, and your kind replies helped me get myself together enough to go out and exercise and now I'm feeling a little better about things. Plus, I continued reading his evaluation, and there were some positives...he said I was "above average intelligence" so that's always nice right?

Anyways, I think maybe the chubby face might have had something to do with it, plus, I was just at a doctor's so I was in sweats...not the most flattering clothes. Still, I've been struggling so much to not starve myself (I was starving myself before) that I just don't need anything like that. I've got a couple of pictures of me before and after the initial starvation period...I'm going to post them...hopefully it'll be therapeutic for me. I'm not looking for people to comment on how I look, just maybe admitting to myself that I have slimmed down might help I guess. In the meantime, I just have to find a way to convince myself it's ok to eat dinner

Here's me before:

And me after:

And me just recently at a friend's wedding (I cropped out the bride just in case she didn't want her photo on the internet)..this one kinda shows how my face can be chubby:
