I made it!
Yes, indeed! I went on a 3+ week vacation in Europe with classmates,
and now I'm back - all of me! As in all 103 lbs that I used to weigh! I
just went to the scale now, and WOW! Before the trip I was 95lbs.
I've gone from 74lbs some 7-8 months ago, at the peak of a nasty ED, back to my normal weight. And, I now have a healthy BMI of 20 (I'm 5'1'')! I feel so proud of myself (most of the time).
Of course, that little voice in my head is still trying to tell me I weight too much, and that since I've been steadily gaining I'm sure to just go on and inflate like a balloon... but if I know I'm eating right and I'm excercising plenty, all is good, right? I'm SUPPOSED to weight this much, right?
Anyway, I guess I'm just looking to share my happy news with all ED sufferers (and non, too) and look for a little assurance. Have a great day, everyone!

Here's an assurance hug.
103lbs is not not not not fat and is most definately and certainly a much healthier weight to be.
You sound happy, you must feel better now that your body isn't struggling to keep you alive anymore.
I've never had an ED so I'm reluctant to call you "over it" or something in case I get slammed!! But well done, you've done great and should be really really proud of yourself. Keep going and don't ever let it get you again, see how great you are and how good life is now. :o) x
