just want to say that a full recovery is absolutely possible
and i am proof! i had an ed specialist therapist tell me once that you could never fully recover from an eating disorder... i stopped seeing her immediately and after a lifetime (since childhood) of dependency on an ed i really truly am free. I mean actually, the way i think about my body, others bodies, nourishment and movement and eating and holidays and grocery shopping, i had been told about "intuitive eating" and now even that seems like too much of a category for just... living. yes my addictive personality has found some other little vices but my brain is back from a lifetime of obsessive ed thoughts, and my body too. idk if its helpful for anyone to hear this but i never really knew of any success stories when i was in recovery because diet culture is so normalized so here i am and i am free and you will be too
