I don't know if this helps or not.
I lost more weight than I currently weigh, in about 18 months (2014-2015) and am now in maintenance. I was diagnosed with anorexia (not self diagnosed, diagnosed by both my therapist and psychiatrist) in January. More recently, they have added exercise addiction and body dysmorphic disorder. I still see myself as being twice as big as I currently am. I see women that are much bigger than I am and I think I'm the same size. And like you, I know my weight, I know my measurements (30-23-34) and I know what size I wear. It doesn't matter. Seeing some fucking cow makes me push myself harder and not always in a healthy way. I don't trust the mirror or photographs.
All I can say is that you are not alone.
I am so sorry that you had to experience that this morning. I am upset for you.
I know the knee-jerk reaction is to restrict. I would like to encourage you to stay strong and resist that urge.
Please do not restrict any further.
You need to stick to a proper caloric intake (healthy foods good macros I'm sure you know what you are doing there😊) in order to heal properly from your ongoing medical problems.
Please do not let a chance encounter (as triggering as it was) to jeopardize your health.

We have nearly the same measurements, and your BMI is perfectly fine. You're nothing close to those landwhales! Don't let their own delusions affect you.
