Prettier when not anorexic?

I used to be anorexic but no one knew about it. I told myself I couldn't keep living like this so I forced myself to change. I am about over it and am doing really good. The thing is, I feel better, look better, and am happyier. I used to eat around 500-1000 calories a day. I eat more now.
How come I'm looking prettier now then i did when i had my ED? I finally kinda like the way i look now. :)
