Well even more excellent that you caught it early!

My 10 years of anorexia certainly didn’t start out as an attempt to develop an eating disorder. It started because I was injured and warned by my well-intentioned mother to watch my intake while I was forced to be sedentary for 2 months during the healing process. She “helped” me by showing me some recipes for low calorie substitutes for the foods I was used to eating. I lost a few pounds. I liked it. I continued. Down the rabbit hole I went. For at least the first 1-2 years everyone thought I was just enviably healthy and that I loved to work out. But by that time the trap was set-after a year of heavy restriction, for me, I was quite hooked.
