Recovery vs. Recovered Debate...

The debate over whether someone can fully recover from an eating disorder continues to rage on...Some prominent leaders in the eating disorder treatment community are adament that one call fully recover.........as in RECOVERED. As for me, I am not sure what I believe... In my own recovery from an eating disorder I can say that I am around 95% recovered, and that is after working on becoming healthy for about 25 years.....It has truly been a 2 steps forward, 1 step backward process of improvement over the years. Sometimes, seeming like it would never end. However, just hanging in there, and going back to the recovery tools that I know work for me has been my saving grace.....

What do you think? Is it possible to fully recover?
