What is the hardest part of recovering from anorexia?

The hardest part of recovering from anorexia is the ambivalence that the person typically has about this 'thin' ideal that they've developed. The hardest part is trying to let go of the association that they've made, which is that thin equals success, thin equals power, thin equals being self sufficient, that thin equals all these things. The hardest challenge in recovery are the body image issues.
