    I'm glad your done losing weight but you should focus on maintaining a healthy weight.

    Having recovered from anorexia myself what you're doing right now is an incredibly brave, amazing step! It's a smart way to begin recovery too, I wish I had done it that way! Just take your time with it and don't worry about timelines :) you can do it

    Went through that a few years back. It's tough as hell so well done for making progress - something to remember is that, even when recovered, there's a chance (like with me) that some of the mentality never truly leaves, just remember it's all a balance, having a day or two where you're tempted to dip back in, while not great, is ok. Just make sure you realise it's happening, and pick yourself up after. Recovering after a day or two is nothing compared to where you've come from.

    Congratulations! I struggle with anorexia, too. I was diagnosed back in 2013 but I'm much healthier now than I used to be

    I had anorexia when I was a young teen 13-15 years old. I'm recovered from it now thanks to getting help. I'm 26 years old now. When I was 15 I only weighed 98 lbs and was 5'5". Now I have a binge eating disorder. Feel free to add me for support.

    Try to focus on nutrition and hitting all of those values daily. I was anorexic when I was 16 and recovered, now at 30 I'm trying to lose weight the healthy way. Keeping my focus on nutrition gives my obsessive compulsive thoughts about calories a healthy positive outlet.
