This study aimed to explore the construct of recovery from anorexia nervosa through the medium of weblogs, focusing on the benefits and barriers to the recovery process. Data were extracted from female ( n = 7) and male ( n = 1) participants’ textual pro-recovery weblogs, all of which were posted between 2013 and 2015 in the public domain. Data were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Three superordinate themes were identified: (1) barriers to recovery, (2) factors increasing the likelihood of recovery and (3) support. Results suggest supportive relationships, regaining control and recognising the consequences of the eating disorder benefit recovery, whereas public perceptions, the anorexia nervosa voice and time act as barriers to recovery. Out of eight participants, four described seeking professional help as part of their recovery, of which three believed their professional therapy experience helped aid recovery. Implications for anorexia nervosa treatment are discussed in detail
