Thank you very much for the edits that have been made, and I appreciate the consideration to remove the weight references. The eating disorder/body acceptance space is a sensitive one and many people look to these numbers in an unhealthy way (as I once did). I have just one comment still:
-regarding the line saying I halved my weight "in a couple months using fasting, purging and laxatives", after looking at the sources I would like to correct the sentence structure and make a simple clarification that determines truth from falsity here. In my years suffering from eating disorders, I lost weight by fasting, purging and laxatives (as the articles state). In the initial weight loss period at age 13 that this sentence in this article is referring to, it was only by fasting.

@ Missmiakang: I saw that User:Vahurzpu had removed this line commenting that the one reference from the New York Post was insufficient, so I looked around, and found quite a few other sources saying the same thing. I restored it, with 7 total references (those weren't all the ones I found, either), and only now see that this was due to your request here. This does change things a bit; we don't write our articles based entirely on the subject's wishes but we do try to take them into account. So can you please clarify what you meant here by "I also never said I was recommended to have as much sex as possible before a fight, I said that's what people say"? In other words, I'd like to write what's actually true. We do realize that journalists sometimes get things wrong; however if you did say something of the sort, I'd greatly prefer to rephrase it to reflect what you actually said, or intended, or believe, or do, rather than just delete it entirely. Because, a rather large number of sources on three continents made a big deal of this statement, several writing articles specifically dedicated to it, and we do try to reflect what the sources say when possible. -- GRuban ( talk) 18:35, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
