To wonder if it is possible I have randomly been cured of an eating disorder I have had for 20 years?

Ever since I was a teenager I have starved myself, then binged. I used to use laxatives to purge but I stopped that maybe 7 years ago.

Having kids didn't stop me, if anything it made anxiety about my body worse. Then food was sort of my only friend. I just found eating anything made me want more and then I'd binge unless I stuck to rigid rules.

For over a week now ... I haven't. I've had some junk, like today I had fries and a McFlurry. Then stopped. Normally I'd have eaten half of Sainsburys by now.

Could I randomly have been cured?

Be proud of yourself.
Perhaps the wind changed? Perhaps you're just ready to change?
Who knows? Important thing is you're moving in the right direction.

Have you had an infection recently? Or a round of steroids?
