Glad to hear youve had a good phase. It means you know it is possible and its worth striving for. Difficult phases and relapses hit everyone at some time. They are frustrating to fight and deeply disappointing to go through. They dont mean however that you lose everything although thats the way it may feel You dont lose the good months and the knowledge that thing can be better.
Have life been throwing too many demands at you lately. Stress can bring on eating problems you thought were "conquered". If youre too busy, stressed or otherwise unhappy try to cut down on whatever is overloading you, take life more slowly and take some time to yourself.
