I'm sad and just need to vent, I'll be ok

When I was fat i never got to hear the end of it, especially from my family.
"You need to watch your weight"
"Are you really going to eat ALL of that?"
"It's unhealthy"
Etc.

Now when I've lost a significant amount of weight I get praised.
"Oh you're so good with your diet and exercise"
"Must feel great to get that weight off"
"You look so much better now"

But what people don't know is that I'm even more unhealthy now, because I don't eat...
I'm too scared to eat, people kept judging me for eating, so now i just don't. I'm barely hungry anymore. No one notices that I don't eat, but they sure as hell noticed when I did eat.
I've got zero energy to do anything, I go to work and then I sleep, that's it.

I've got 2 kids and a husband and I feel so alone.
My kids hate me because I'm exhausted all the time and my husband has never paid attention to me, can't even remember the last time we hugged.

I want to show my parents what they've caused.

Wow i always recommend seeing a therapist (psychologist, for talk therapy) complete confidentiality is helpful. Get advice get out the angst.
Sounds like your husband and you have fallen out of sorts (lost affection intamacy & trust?) Therefore couples counseling might be helpful.
I hope theres no physical abuse going on? You dont have to answer that; but especially if there is, seriously consider your options and id hope ud leave with the kids. If you have family u might ask for advice or setup an exit plan for you and the kids. . Idk im in NY and there are options for support here. Hotlines food pantries housing options and counseling.
I wish you peace, prosperity, and long life.
Keep your head up miss!
For your sake, for the sake of your children, I hope you seek out help for your eating disorder. As I’m sure you know, it’s a life threatening condition.

My daughter is going through this right now because she had put on weight through bad management of eating because she gets alot of exercise at work and on January 2nd husband sent her a text at work saying he thought the marriage had gone stale he needed space a separation but staying in the house! He mentioned her weight she ended up being physically sick going into meltdown, since then shes lost 4st but doctors put her onto a specialist because she damaging her kidneys and was about to be admitted to hospital. Its been a nightmare.

The human body will take in what it needs to survive and function. Do not worry about what other people think and say. Just be you and be happy

You have to eat of course ;so you need some help.
The ultimate choice is yours no matter what anyone says to you.

I'm sorry to say it proves my point that looks are usually the real reason for some people's concern... if you look okay then you must be okay.
We do live in somewhat of a shallow society but we can't let people dictate ourself worth or try to please them to the point where we're harming ourselves.

@SW-User yes people thought they think there advice is helpful but when it is tactless in nature it has the opposite effect . people need too think about make snide comments about people and there weight as that what happened too singer karen carpenter all it can take is one crass remark and next you can end up bulmeric or anorexic

Very relatable. You have to eat and fuck what people say or think. It truly isn't good for your health. But it's so difficult when you finally have some acceptance.

I think you need to speak to an eating disorder specialist to help you through the mental process of extreme weight loss.

Do you have access to a psychologist? You are in a bad place (mentally) and you need some serious professional help.
