If you are anything like me, that living condition you are/were in is one of the triggers for your anorexia. When life feels totally out of control, the one thing left we can control is what we don't/do eat depending on which way our mind works.

I found that once I was out of that living situation I was in, a lot of the issues (including anorexia) were finally more easily controlled. For me, stress is one of the key triggers for my anorexia...no matter what kind of stress.

You may find that living with your mom in a more stable environment that your life will become more stable also along with your eating.

I had just been medically hospitalized for anorexia after also going through a trauma while my mother was dying of cancer. It was finally able to leave my bad marriage 2 1/2 years later. I was able to keep my weight stable at the lowest healthiest weight for that time.....then I bought a wonderful little farm 2100 miles away & it was like a chance to start my life over even at the age of 55. Being alone & happy & free for the first time in my life, it was amazing because I knew that living alone with 7 dogs at the time dependent on my wellness, even the stress I went through still dealing with messes my H created, I was able to stay stable...then with time I was able to gain & really get healthy again. It wasn't until I left that 33 year marriage that I realized the previous anorexia issue was also because of the bad marriage but I couldn't see it until I got out of it. Realized that food was the only thing I could control through those years & I always had a tendency to loose weight when stressed anyway so put the 2 together & it definitely was the groundwork for my anorexia. Add to that, it seems like a NORMAL human trait that once weight loss starts, it's not that easy to stop from wanting to see the scales go lower & lower. Even my MIL who never dealt with anorexia went onto a diet & she had the hardest time stopping the weight loss when she got to the low weight she wanted to get to....there is something almost addictive for EVERYONE when we get into weight loss mode so when there is anorexia thinking of wanting to be even more thin.
