Hello, I'm back again, with another question, again mainly born out of just morbid curiosity.

I was wondering, if you are eating disordered, what is your relationship with numbers?

I often find myself 'blaming numbers' for the development and continuation of my ED. I’m not sure how ridiculous/rare this is, or if it even makes any sense.

Yeah, I think you're completely right; I reckon they do feed off of one another so to speak. And no, I don't think you're being cliche when you talk about control- I know they're different issues but both EDs and OCD are about taking control of aspects of your life that you are able to do so after all. I'm glad you're better with food- I still consider myself far from recovered foodwise, but exercise has never been a massive probelm with me, other than having to run for a certain amount of time and burn a certain amount of calories, but I've never been a big exerciser.
And yeah, we all have weak points, and neither of us should beat ourselves up about them :) You sound like you're well on your way to full recovery which I whole heartedly admire you for; you're bound to have little slip ups here and there after all.
Habits are certainly hard to break, especially ones that give you so much comfort (even if they're ultimately destructive). I should really mention it to my psychologists at some point, and see what they'd suggest. I often wonder if 'one aspect/issue' of my (pretty unstable) personality was cleared up, the others might follow suit.
