Clarity needed: Yes, it might be possible to lose weight safely after overcoming an eating disorder -- but before doing so, please see your therapist or psychiatrist. This is to make sure your eating d/o is in stable remission, and that your current plans are not a relapse. Also, you can ask for possible referrals to a nutritionist and/or trainer who's experienced with eating d/o's, who can help you.
