Do people who have overcome an eating disorder have a hard time losing weight normally?

I struggled with anorexia for three years in high school. Now I am a little overweight, and I have tried healthy diets, but they don't seem to work for me as well as everyone else. I have a really hard time losing weight and maintaining a high metabolism. Is it because of my eating disorder?

...are you actually overweight? or is it the eating disorder that makes you think your overweight when your not, coming back?

but if you are then maybe. your body may have got used to you not getting much food and storing as much as possible instead of metabolising it, or whatever the term is.

take a leaf out of my book, stop caring about weight and just enjoy life. when it gets to the point where its a health problem then worry about it, but otherwise it ain't an issue

It must be that you struggle with the extremes in your body weight.

Have you considered joining a gym?
