By February 2012, Miles was in the early stages of recovery, focusing on changing her attitudes toward food and her body.  She says that the mental component of an eating disorder is just as damaging as the physical.

By March 2013, one year into her recovery, Miles was happier with herself and her body than she'd ever been before.  On a trip to Australia, she says she was able to experience foods that she would have never tried before.
