Body dysmorphia after significant weight loss — need advice

Adding the numbers, since they settle part of this. One habit that pays for itself: post the method alongside the number. A figure without its method cannot be checked, and an unchecked figure is how this community accumulates folklore.

One thing that is still open after sean_dublin’s answer:

What did you change at the same time, and can you separate the two now?

Pushing back on PeptideSynthNJ here. This treats a plausible mechanism as a demonstrated one. Plausible is where you start looking, not where you stop.

That is right, and it stops being right at the edges. The general case is well behaved; the interesting cases in this thread are all at the boundary where the general case breaks.

Correct me if the detail matters more than I have assumed.

Genuinely useful, thank you. I had the facts and not the framework. Taking it to my next appointment.
