Her safety and health should be taken care of first, but i agree, once shes out of danger of a relapse, she doesnt need perfect body image (who has that anyway?)

Actually, it may help HER to do it. I don't feel that people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, just change their underwear in the basement :-) No, in my opinion, your emailer can still help other people even if she is still struggling with her issues.

I dont bite! ;) Its very true that everyone's experiences with EDs, and triggers, are different. Thats why i really recommend talking to your therapist- they already know your background and know what would be best to help you Damn, E, you can disagree with me- you dont have to be all sweet about it.

Secondly, while I recognize the benefits of the "A" part of this Q&A, I just wanted to acknowledge that for me, my ED was often characterized by the constant planning and being "different" about food-i.e. bringing my own private food to a group event, etc. I don't mean to disagree with the advice given (I <3 Kelly big time) but rather to highlight how hard it is to really find one "solution" to this. I do definitely find that as Kelly also said, (as simple as it sounds) stocking your place with healthy stuff is the best antidote. If I don't have it available, I think longer about it. Sorry for the long comment-just wanted to show some solidarity and (if you're anything like me) warn a bit *only based on my experience* about taking planning to the extreme.

I guess the same goes with four year olds who requested soda. I didn't drink coffee until I was a junior in college, and when I was little, I knew soda was a special treat...usually reserved for holidays. It's crazy to me that kids drink it all the time now.
