It is awesome that you got rid of your "skinny" clothes! I think I hung on to mine over 5 years after recovery with the thought that maybe I'd need them again someday. (Well, I say recovery, it's not like the ED thoughts have ever completely left me; they are just less frequent, and I still just have to choose not to act on them.) I didn't know any people IRL skinny enough for those clothes, so I just gave them to Goodwill. Even if I had known someone they would have fit, I would have gotten rid of them because simply seeing them on someone would be a trigger for me. I even got rid of all my old jewelry I wore when my ED was bad because it reminded me of such a bad time in my life. When I got rid of my ED clothes and jewelry, it was a sort of catharsis for me.

I have been a healthy weight (albeight low-normal, but still a normal BMI for my height) for years since at least 2003, with a brief relapse around 2012. My mother still doesn't get it. Just last month, she asked me, "What happened to you while you were in college and had anorexia? What changed? You were fine in high school." By "fine", she means a normal weight though in truth, I had ED thoughts then and was showing signs of bipolar disorder. It was just easier to act on ED thoughts not living at home. She knows I was sexually abused by an uncle (through marriage, my aunt later divorced him). She knows sexual abuse often leads to eating disorders. I don't think any of my family "gets" it. You don't get it unless you've been there, I think.
