Did you crawl into my head and write my story just much more eloquently ? Obviously our experiences are some what different but my feelings and the truth behind them are the exact same.
I too have finally gotten counselling and it is amazing. Instead of feeling empty without the ED, I feel lighter and freer without it. The exact opposite of what I expected to feel like.

Thank you. I’m a 15 year old girl with anorexia. S-L-O-W-L-Y recovering. I seek encouragment everyday. I really appreciate this reinforcement.

I haven’t commented in a while, I guess I’m a “lurker.”

That was comforting to hear that you have managed to actually fully recover, I was starting to doubt that it was truly possible. The closest thing I’ve ever been able to find as a description of my eating habits was “purging anorexic.” I thought I had completely recovered, put myself in therapy, and let myself gain 10 pounds. Unfortunately, I chickened out of actually talking about my eating in therapy and focused on other stuff, started looking in the mirror or at the scale and saying “Holy shit, I’ve gained 10 pounds,” and then purging after I eat 2 or 3 servings of crackers and hummus when I had planned on having 1.
As stupid as all that sounds, it’s good to know you can hit rock bottom and still come back.
