Coming from my personal experience, and what I've seen around me, you can get past your EDs completely. Whether it's anorexia, bulimia, a combo, OR overeating/emotional eating, those are all channels of dealing with something else in your life. Mistreatment from a loved one, a bad experience, fear of never being good enough (this was the chip on my shoulder) you can get past it if you want. I took half boxes of extra strength laxatives, ate 800 cals or less, worked out for hours (honestly I nearly lost all of my college scholarships at one point because of those behaviours consuming my life and I stopped studying), and after some successful counseling sessions and getting out into the world and learning to stop taking everything so personally I got over it. Now if I could only get over food being so tasty.
Sorry to take over the thread with that. I hope I'm not taking any business away from the master at hand.
