Everyone of us in recovery are having or had more or less identity problems, I guess. The last time I tried recovery I struggled with that for sure. If I was no longer the skinny one, was I then the fat one soon? That was what I feared. But that was silly, because I shouldn't identify myself with a body, but my character, values and perhaps to some degree my interests and actions. If you haven't found another interest in life to engage in yet, maybe you could engage in getting a healthier body? Like one is slowly getting thinner as restricting, one slowly feels stronger in recovery. And think about what you earlier may have thought you want to do, but have thought you couldn't because you didn't have the power to do it. Now in the future you will be able to. Focus on that. Dream big. Read recovery blogs with girls living happily the way they want to. Perhaps they will inspire you.
