[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally feel that once you have an eating disorder you always have an eating disorder. It is a mental health condition that you manage. If you are managing it well, it is not impacting your physical health, your mental health, or your relationships with others. What does your doctor say about your weight?[/quote]

I’m an anorexic and bulimic in the same way that a dry drunk is an alcoholic. I’m always managing it. Sometimes I slip off (binge and purge) then I gotta get back on the wagon. I’m in my 40s and this has been my life since 14.[/quote]

I disagree.  I have been fully recovered for 20 years, and I know this because I can spend time with women who have eating disorders, and it doesn't trigger me to change my behavior.  I will order a steak and potato and eat it in front of you while you have your salad, because I don't envy the internal suffering you're experiencing.  Eating disorders are mental hell.  I like my balanced and happy life that doesn't revolve around food.[/quote]
