What do you miss most from your life pre-ED?

As we all know, eating disorders take away so much of our livelihoods over the course of time. We change physically and mentally for the worse. What would you say you miss the most about your life before developing an eating disorder?

I’ve lost so much to this disorder (friends, jobs, independence, hobbies), and I could pick from a plethora of options, but the answer I’m going with is the ability to have regular and complete bowel movements. I don’t take laxatives and therefore aren’t reliant on them to go, but the muscles in my digestive system is so weak that I never have a complete bowel movement anymore and instead of it resulting in relief, I end up feeling more bloated and uncomfortable after going than before and it’s so frustrating.
