This is a long complicated question … I don’t think I could just give it a number of months, or years.
In my opinion, I don’t think anyone ever truly gets over an eating disorder. It is something that can stay with you for the rest of your life, not in the sense that you will always be self-harmful to your body, but that you will always face a battle to keep those hateful thoughts about eating and your body down.
I was on weight watchers for a few months and lost 15 pounds (from 145 to 130), but then suddenly my weight plateaued and no matter how healthy I ate or how much I exercised, nothing would come off. So I began eating less and less each day until I reached 105 pounds. (I’m 5’5 btw, so that’s TEENY TEENY TINY).
No one ever talked to me about my weight, one friend told me I looked disgusting when I was wearing a bikini, that’s it…
Then I went on a 10 day cruise with my mom and just ate what I wanted when I wanted to, gained back 10 pounds. Then just began eating reguarly again. It was weird. But I’m SO happy I figured it all out and now I live my life HEALTHY and still treat myself :)
