The short answer? I don't know.
I'm twice your age, and have been in recovery now since November. It's not so much two steps forward, once step back -- more like a very complicated choreographed routine. Some days I'm kinda OK about my body, other days I'm not.
Those 12 step, you're always in recovery, but never recovered models don't ring true for me, though. I do believe that you can recover fully. And then be an EX-anorexic.
Are you now or have you been in therapy for this? Do you know what the underlying issues are for you? What it is that being thin means to you?
Knowing those things might help.
Good luck.
