See a counselor. A lot of people frown upon this, but it helps. Talk with your doctor about the eating disorder and they should be able to recommend a good person for you. On a side note, no one is ever 100% ccomfortable with the way they look. If they tell you they are, they are lying. You just need to get to the point of not being obsessed, as you say you are. Being weight conscious is fine, but abusing your body isn't. Get some help! :) This will not come overnight and will not be an easy thing to overcome, so you need to be willing to put forth the effort to help yourself and change your life. Eating disorders are always in the back on your mind, but you can learn to deal with it and overcome.

Men look at the outward appearance but God looks at the heart. He loves you no matter what and doesn't want you to do this to yourself. You are THE MOST valuable thing to him! TWLOHA has some web sites and hotlines you can check out for help!

Wow 100 lbs is a perfect weight for 5 feet. You could even go up to 115 or 125 you would still look great. You said you are toned. To me that says you care about your health and appearance. Bulemia and anorexia are terrible for the body doing damage to the teeth and creating deficiencies for the bones and muscles. I remember when I was a young teenager I had bad teeth and big glasses. I got braces and contacts and now don't even resemble that person. You've made this great transformation and Its tempting to think it was related to the disorder but it wasn't. It was your willpower and your desire. You need to turn that high powered willpower towards getting rid of this disorder.

I completely understand where your coming from. I am 5 2 and weigh 105 lbs. It sounds to me like you are the perfect weight for your height. It is hard to change the way you feel about yourself but you can do it. You have to constantly work at it. Everytime you look in a mirror smile at yourself and say i love you to yourself. You are always your own worse critic. When I feel a little insecure with myself I will dye my hair or paint my nails or lay out in the sun to get a tan. I will do anything that is going to make me feel better about myself. Because you felt like an ugly duckling when you were a kid is why you still feel like that now. You have to change the way you think about yourself. Every time you point out a flaw that you have you focus on that and that just makes you feel worse. What you need to do is to start focusing on the qualities that you like about yourself. It really does work. Here are some web sites that will help you. Keep your head up! Good luck and God bless!
