If you just follow the same routines, keep eating your meal plan, dont really do anything with your life... then you are still stuck in your ED routines. But also you can feel like, is recovery really worth it`? You dont get your life happiness back, you dont really use your new gained energy. So when you are getting closer to a normal weight and getting your energy back, then begin doing things with your life... this will also help with more balanced eating. Learning to eat at different times, eat out, let others prepare food for you. Eat different things and at different places. But it can also teach you that if someone offers a cookie or some chocolate its ok to take some, even if its not your 'usual snack' time....
Doing things you enjoy will give you happiness and a sense of purpose which is what you need after having an eating disorder or any mental illness. You need to feel happy again, find your reason to live and to know that it was worth it to recover!!!
I think it's great that you have recovered but I feel you still very much place a lot of emphasis on your body and it's appearance. 90% of your blog is about this and your 'newly trained figure' and not much else about life other than the physical. I just feel recovery should be about more of what,s going on in your thought process and not just a transition from skinny to emphasis on strength training, fitness and posting muscular photos. To me that just creates another image that girls strive to achieve, because honestly, if you think about it, many of your readers start strength training because they now have your image to strive towards and promoting one's body that much just isn't healthy.
