Anorexia recovery is the process by which someone overcomes anorexia nervosa, a mental health disorder that manifests as extreme attitudes and behaviors toward weight, food, and eating. Recovery is different for each person affected by an eating disorder, and it involves working to take control of ones life and work towards accomplishing goals and dreams. There are important milestones along the way that can help individuals navigate the journey, such as physical symptoms improvement, prioritizing self-care, and building a strong support network. Recovery is not a "quick fix" but rather a long journey with lots of challenges, and setbacks and relapses are considered to be part of the recovery process and not major obstacles to recovery. It is important to note that the terms "in recovery" and "fully recovered" are often used interchangeably, but they have different meanings. "In recovery" means that someone is in the process of recovering from an eating disorder, while "fully recovered" means that someone has overcome their eating disorder and is no longer experiencing symptoms.
