well i am recovering from anorexia and have been in numerous treatments and many of my therapists/dieticians have suffered from anorexia or an other eating disorder in the past and i can say confidently they are fully recovered!. so yes it is possible to be fully recovered from anorexia but at the weight you are right now you are still going to have a lot of eating disorder thoughts because you are underweight!. when your under weight (regardless of how much your eating) your body thinks about food and starts obsessing over it!. i recommend getting a dietician to help you if you don't already have one!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Anorexia is a mental disorder (though, that doesn't mean you're crazy)!. You can eat a healthy amount and still have body image issues!. I think right now you're on your way to recovery, but I think you might try counseling or reading some books on recovering from anorexia!. They might help!. I think eventually you can make a full recovery, but possibly many with anorexia go on to worry about their weight for the rest of their lives!. As long as it's not disrupting your life, I don't see how it can be a major problem!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
First you need to love yourself!. You don't have to be thin to be beautiful!. I am sure you will stay healthy,because you are health and weight conscious!. You also MUST STOP the body comparison, that is the reason so many girls(like you ) suffer from this disorder!. Television is the biggest illusion of all!. Those celebs, do not look like that on any given day, They pay thousands of dollars a day, to get that look!. Wear the tightest under garment, and know how to angle their bodies for cameras!. The girls around you have different body types than you do!. You can not see yourself 3-D as you see them, so you really don't know what you look like!. LOVE yourself, stay healthy and most of all, STOP COMPARING!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
