She should've lied harder. It would've been incredibly easy to stash a solid 35, 40lbs of diver weights in her folds before her initial intake appointment that could've served as her safety buffer to get her through a year's worth of weight wobbles while she "doesn't binge"
So I know how some of it works because I've been going with a friend who is just starting the process (actually to be honest, I'm not super close to her, but she asked me to drive her because she had a seizure and can't drive for a bit. Then she asked if I wanted to go back for her appointment and I figured why not.) I'm sure every clinic is different, but the few things that stick out is at her first weigh in they asked if they could check her ankles and then had her take off her outer layers of clothes and then pull and shake the clothes she still had on. I jokingly said "you guys don't mess around" and the nurse said "you would be surprised the length some people go to pad their starting weight."
The second appointment I went with her, (I believe she has had more, but I only took her to two of them) she saw a doctors assistant who went over her medical history and determined the tests she would need, etc. etc. and when referring to the therapist she had to see to be approved she said "if you have any kind of binge eating you will be denied automatically." She didn't mention anything else that would deny you except binge eating, so it definitely is a big no.
Amber spent years fighting with the internet that she had BED and then thinks she cured it in two months or sorry she never had it to begin with. Love that for her.
