I too am in my upper 40s and have had ED for about 35 years. I firmly believe that full recovery is possible and I AM going to get there. By that I mean no ED thoughts or behaviors; just a healthy and dare I say "normal" relationship with food. It's working too! I am going thru a horribly stressful time right now and my T said today, "do anything short of b/p to get yourself through this" and I realized with a start that I hadn't thought of b/p at all! Can you believe that?!

But, sadly, there are real physical consequences to this disease that I also have to manage. I am trying to leave the shame behind and just focus on what I need to do to restore my health and not have it decline (b/c of ED) anymore.

Prayers and hugs for all who need them!
