I used to have an Eating Disorder. I got over it after about two years, but during the time I developed body dismorphia, and deep down I have a fear that what I see in the mirror will never be the real me.
Am I being unreasonable if I'm afraid I'll always deep down think I'm fat?
It is normal to feel this way because you had a disorder, and you dont want those same feelings to return. You should seek help so this fear does not become a serious problem. See a councelor, therapist, or a psychiatrist and let them know what your fear is so they can help you prevent it from becoming a serious issue.
Of course, going through an eating disorder and body dismorphia can really impact how you think about yourself even after recovery, and you may feel that you can't trust your own eyes/brain anymore. But if this has developed to the point where you are paranoid and thinking about it all the time, you should talk to your doctor about seeing a psychiatrist because disorders like this often return, even long after recovery, if there is no professional help sought.
