Recovering From an Eating Disorder

Whether you are struggling against an eating disorder yourself, or supporting someone else in their fight, recovery is something that you will no doubt spend a lot of time thinking about. Maybe this is because it is your hope - the thing you are hoping to see happen. More often though, especially for sufferers, it is something that the people around them are talking about - the professionals working with them, or the friends and family caring for them.

From the outside of an eating disorder it tends to seem obvious that recovery is the 'ideal outcome', the thing that everyone needs to be working towards. But for sufferers recovery is something that is less certain, and may even seem very frightening.
