Adrift: I won't write much now, (and forgive me if I don't pick the right words, I'm no expert) but I have BDD and and an ED. I don't know if your concerns are weight related, but I know that that is something people find confusing - the difference between the two. The problem with "knowing" if you have it is that it is a disorder that exists on the delusional spectrum. I'm still working on that part of it myself.
Because of the nature of it, I do think that you would need a professional to diagnosis it. But if you are interested a really good book about it I'd recommend "The Broken Mirror: Understanding and Treating Body Dysmorphic Disorder" by Katharine A. Phillips.
You should mention your concerns to your T (if you have one.)
