This really hits home. I lived in a similar limbo starting at about age 21. I managed to climb my way into the low end of "not technically underweight," and managed to be mostly high functioning in spite of a vague sense of guilt and constant mental barrages from the eating disorder. Sugary and junk foods were a constant companion for me too; I wrote about this here.

I think what was happening was my brain was still stuck thinking that there was a global famine, even though my body was no longer emaciated. Unfortunately a lot of people recovering from anorexia wind up here - they look better on the outside, but feel just as bad or worse on the inside. It makes it really difficult because everyone thinks you're fine. In reality there's lots more rehabilitation to do - the goal is "mental state improvement," not just "bodily improvement."

I wouldn't discourage anyone from getting help from a pro, but my guess is that you can try to make progress on your own before you reach out. I found this article and this article really helpful for understanding what's going on with this limbo state; I wish I'd read them much earlier. This book has a step-by-step guide for a (full) recovery program, and I found it to be really worth the $10.

Good luck!
