When she was 18, Lucy Howard-Taylor knew she was letting anorexia eat away at her life, her body and her brain. Now, a year later, she's published a memoir ("Biting Anorexia") about living in the grips of an eating disorder -- and how she was able to set herself free. In an interview with a AOL Health, she discusses the competitive (and addictive) nature of posting on pro-ana forums, how she was able to recognize she had a problem and what treatment and healthy eating are like for her today. Read the full interview about anorexia recovery here.
