A Recovered Life is all about living an authentic, fulfilling life. It's about rising to meet challenges and overcoming obstacles. It's about hope. It's about courage. It's about recovery. ♥

I'm an eating disorder activist who believes in FULL recovery. Why? Because it's real, and I'm proof.

After too many years of anorexia and depression, I turned my life around and am now living a life I never knew was possible. I want to help you do this too.

hannahheartshealthy asked: Once you recovered and got to a healthy weight how long did it take to get your period back?

This is a pretty personal thing.  It depends a lot on a person’s body, the age they developed amenorrhea, the length and severity of the accompanying illness, etc.  It’s hard to say.  Some people’s return pretty quickly with weight restoration, others…not.  But try not to worry about this.  Focus on doing what you know is healthy for you.  Let your body have the time it needs to adjust.  ♥
