I am somewhat in a similar situation as you. I have always not wanted to gain weight or get fat, but never looked at myself as being overweight except when I really was for a short period before ending up stress taking me to a very unhealthy underweight condition that needed medical care in the hospital.

The quizzes like you said, only look at the thoughts not the reality of everyday life & that we are in control of those thoughts.

I just moved & started seeing a new psychologist....obviously, the anorexia came up, but in talking she is understanding of the reality as of today....& there are many other issues that need to be handled. ONly problem is that in handling them, some were the cause of the anorexia, so it's a bit difficult at times.....have to be very careful & determined to not start feeling so sick again that I can't eat.

You sound like you are at a safe weight (30 pounds over the minimum weight). That is a safe weight & also gives you some reserve in case therapy gets tough or you come across something that causes the anorexia to show up again. That reserve should give you a chance to bring it up with your T if it starts to happen.

Make sure you monitor yourself if you feel you are starting to loose weight.....& I am sure you will be fine.
