So, here are some keys to the doors you shall need to step through if you have the determination to make a full recovery and join the many people living happily with fantastic careers and families, without a sight or sniff of anorexia to mar anything.

Set yourself realistic goals. If you fail the first time, persevere.

Focus on what you can and have achieved.

Make decisions about mealtimes with your family. If you don’t make structure for mealtimes, they will remain difficult times.

Don't be tempted to look at how much/little other people are eating. For the time being, you need to eat what will help you to become well, if you have a meal plan, stick to it. One day, you will be able to throw it away.

Talk to close family and friends about what is happening/what you are going through, in as much detail as you can. If they don't know, they won't be able to understand, e.g. if it makes you uncomfortable if someone mentions that you have eaten all of your dinner, mention to them that that you would rather they didn't say anything.

Cut back on your exercise. This is very important. Once you have boosted you food intake, and have gained a little weight, then it can be slowly invited back into your life.

Throw away your scales.
