For me, it was until something else would hit me in my life & put me back into the inability to eat again....avoiding food because of feeling nausea, stress, you name it....so when I was at the bottom of the safe place already, there was only one direction to go in & that was down.

One never knows what the future holds.....so for me, one never knows if it's recovery or not???? It's more a matter of whether it's disordered eating or an ED....the line is fine between the 2 choices.
