GLP1s and AN- Need advice

I struggled with AN in high-school, while I was underweight I was also very into strength training and being fit so was able to evade most suspicion. As I got older, I still often starved myself but due to my metabolic issues maintained a normal weight. I am constantly stressed about food, my weight, my body. I think my brain is still fairly under the AN mindset but my hormonal metabolic issues make me constantly think about food and eating.

Due to health issues I started gaining and became diabetic, despite still restricting, I also have PCOS. My doctor put me on a GLP1 and it has been amazing. For the first time ever, the extra food noise is gone and I feel better inflammation wise, it has been a game changer. However, now that my metabolic brain is out of the way, my AN is starting to creep back in and I am starting to obsess over losing weight and not eating.

I want a better relationship with food. I want to eat and get strong again. Does anyone have any advice on online programs or books that helped? Or how to be less triggered on a GLP1?

Unfortunately stopping a GLP1 is not an option, medically I have to continue, likely for life so please dont suggest things I cant do.

Thank you.
