For what it's worth, I wasn't aiming to backpedal, because the original post was meant to be humourous and congratulatory. I apologized because, regardless of the intent, it's still an insensitive thing to say to a person with those issues.
Like, even if I said if in a clearer way, like "it's a good thing you gained 10 pounds, because you'll look hotter," it would still be a terrible thing to say, because making struggles with anorexia about appearance rather than health just feeds into the problem.
So, my bad, I said a bad thing.
