I suffered from anorexia in my teen yrs and when i started gaining weight It took awhile to accept my new body. I had to learn how to eat healthy and balanced meals. eventually i liked the person i saw in the mirror who looked healthy and felt good. It was a process and took time. You will get there. You are doing great-i am proud of you. keep going forward a day at a time.
