Hi,
I also felt like giving up because I have been in and out of recovery for a couple of years. My therapist said it would take 5-10+ years to recover! But I've caused some permanent damage to my digestive system and gallbladder.
It gets so confusing because I get that gnawing hungry feeling and I am already weight restored too.
Do you want to see someone who treats eds?
I see my therapist every other week and that helps a lot!
I'm sorry I don't really have advise because i'm still not recovered, but maybe keep reminding yourself of things you have stopped doing like the exercise bulimia.
I hope you keep updating.
