I feel this way as well. Like I do restrict what I eat but still feel okay and not sick, just "healthy" weight loss. I do feel as if it is another warning sign :( best to get some advice from doctors perhaps?

All the best xx

Suggest you need to talk to your ED specialists about this - whilst you might feel OK and healthy - you admit you are still restricting - so rather than you being in control -its the ED that's still in control - recovery is about letting go of that need to restrict - to be free - so talk to those helping you about your current feelings and trust in them for the best way forward.
