How DOES one recover?

OK, I might just be asking an entirely unqualified group of people, but I seriously have no idea how this would work. For context, I have a restrictive ED and I've tried to recover several times over. Previously, it would start with uncontrollable binging and that would kind of force me to stop restricting and weight restore, which, I guess was good? But then I could only stick with it until I eventually got triggered into relapse by my weight or measurements or clothing size. I never managed to really, truly cope with the weight gain, only to ignore it until something brought it to my attention. Now I'm at my lowest weight and trying to at least get myself to maintain, but it's a struggle. I just really can't fathom how I could ever actually be ok with maintaining a healthy weight. How would I ever get there? I know a qualified therapist would probably help some, but my whole treatment situation is pretty suboptimal... Honestly, in all my reading, I've never even heard of any models of eating disorder recovery beyond "eat healthy amounts 😘" and "recognize that restrictive EDs are fundamentally really stupid, dummy", which are not very helpful, because I've tried that and I know that, but neither really fixes the underlying problems. Any ideas???
