I think of life like this,
you are a passenger in a car sometimes the driver lets you pick which way you go but sometimes he doesn't think of the eating disorder as when the driver didn't let you pick which road to take but think of recovery as when you get to pick the path you go in!

I like that analogy. Maybe when you are far enough into recovery, you can actually take the driver's seat. Then you will REALLY have control over where you go. :-)
