I feel finally free from an illness that had me gripped

I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am for all the care you have given me over the last six months. With your help my mind-set has changed and I feel finally free from an illness that had me gripped.  Thank you all so much for supporting me through challenging times and difficult meals and helping me to come out stronger on the other side.  At first I struggled badly with complying as I’m sure many young people have, but as time went on I began to realise how much harm anorexia has caused me and that food is nowhere near as bad as I thought.  I thought the weight gain would make me feel awful in myself but you have to remember you are gaining more than weight: you are gaining happiness and an incredible life away from your eating disorder.
