I once thought full recovery was impossible. after 7 years, I'm fully recovered!

I feel fully recovered partly because sometimes I get the itch to relapse and I just can't lol. it's like a little voice in mind head that has absolutely no power but just scratches at the surface every now and then.

all of your bullet points apply to me. All my old rules are just ridiculous and I see them for what they really are. I'm happy. I don't want to be back there. I don't want to live that live again.

Sure I wish I weighed less. But going about that in a disordered way is just not going to happen again. I've had too much therapy. My mind is like, no, that's not ok, that's not healthy, that won't help, that will make things worse. And...I just don't want to do it anymore.

Been fully anorexic twice and struggled with bulimia in between. My mind and body is just over it.

For me it was really a coping mechanism over trauma. I treated my trauma intensely and now those methods just aren't viable anymore.
