Abstract：
Definitions of recovery from an eating disorder (ED) have generally been formulated around clinical conceptualisations, rather than based on the views of patients. This paper therefore asked those with lived experience of ED for their own definitions of recovery.
Data were collected as part of an online study looking at EDs, autism and relationships. About 173 participants identified as recovered from ED and gave free-response definitions of recovery. Responses were subject to thematic analysis.
Seven major themes were identified: Weight restoration, lack of ED behaviours, thoughts and behaviours, cognitions, emotional responses, getting on with life, and ongoing challenges.
Many definitions of recovery given by those who have lived experience of ED echoed those used by clinicians and researchers. There were also points of divergence around the ongoing challenges of recovery. Our findings highlight the need for continuing support post-weight restoration to facilitate the successful long-term recovery for those with ED.

摘要：
从饮食失调（ED）中恢复的定义通常是围绕临床概念制定的，而不是基于患者的观点。因此，本文询问了有ED生活经验的人对恢复的定义。
数据是作为研究ED的在线研究的一部分收集的，自闭症和人际关系。大约173名参与者被确定为从ED中康复，并给出了康复的自由反应定义。回答需要进行专题分析。
确定了七个主要主题：体重恢复，缺乏ED行为，思想和行为，认知，情绪反应,继续生活，和持续的挑战。
许多有ED经验的人给出的康复定义与临床医生和研究人员使用的定义相呼应。围绕复苏的持续挑战也存在分歧。我们的发现强调了需要继续支持体重恢复后，以促进ED患者的长期成功恢复。
