I havent recovered as of yet. But i am in the process.
I have had therapy, seen dieticians and tried to get to the root of the problem. Although, it was all fantastic information. I never put any of it to use.
I can see it being very helpful though, to a lot of others.

What worked for me, was simply being fed up with it.
The constant battle, finally came to a light bulb moment when i started reading up on the law of attraction and mindfulness.

You are what you think.
When i came to terms with the fact that it was I who was doing this...to myself. It dawned on me then, that I was the only one could change that.

The change of a lifetime habit, was/is hard. But i am determined now.
I dong rely on doctors, or anybody else. Simply me. I am the only one who can do anything. I want to sort it out, and so I must.

So far, so good. Unfortunately for a year of my trying to get better. There were food restrictions due to my circumstances. But now, there is nothing stopping me and i am just as determined as i was, and so ...im currently winning the battle.

Hope that helps! Good luck on yours and everyones recovery xx

Sorry just wanted to add - the food restrictions were not by choice. Simply by just by not having enough go round.

I am currently:

Firstly, I still feel I have an ED, but I can share how I got to my healthy weight range and how I maintain :)

My BMI was extremely low when I was put in an EDU and it took me a long time to get used to eating. However, I found that in the EDU it was almost a relief to be "allowed" to eat. It took me 6 months but I gained up to maintenance and was allowed home.

The trouble though was maintaining - within a few weeks I was restricting again and very soon I stopped eating altogether. I was re-admitted and had to start all over again…

However it was during this time I realised that I had some worth. I was very badly bullied/abused by the other patients (it was a mixed unit) and couldn't tell the staff. It was wrong that it went on, but it made me WANT to recover! I realised I am not my weight. I am more than that. I can find control in other ways. I can have MORE self-control when I'm eating than when I'm obeying the evil anorexic voice in my head! I wanted to be different from the other people in the unit who were trying to kill me with hateful words and their horrible mind games. I realised they were sick. And I didn't want to be sick anymore.

It's been 4 years since my last admission, and it's been an up and down time between eating, starving, binging, purging…. But I'm still here :) I still maintain. Yes I have bad days, or weeks…. but it's worth it to still be alive. My heart beating! Strong! Capable! Independent! It's worth it...
