Overcome an Eating Disorder
• Establish stable, healthy eating habits
• Manage difficult feelings without starving or stuffing them
• Feel normal and calm around food
• Start leading a healthier, happier life
No one expects to develop an eating disorder. So, it may come as a shock when your efforts to control eating and weight start feeling out of control. Eating disorders are about trying to feel better on the inside by controlling what's
on the outside, namely our weight, shape and eating habits.
We often use food to cope with sadness, worries, anger or boredom. Or, restrict what we eat to distract ourselves from what's really bothering us. But such
efforts always fail in the end, leaving us feeling even worse, powerless, or hopeless.
Types of Eating Disorders
• Anorexia Nervosa
• Binge Eating Disorder
• Bulimia Nervosa
• Disordered Eating
• Body Image Issues
What You Can Do
Whether you have occasional "bouts" of problem eating or a full-blown
eating disorder that's jeopardizing your life, take heart. The good news is
that treatment works for a wide range of eating disorders. Heather Kitchen, LCSW, is an eating disorder specialist who collaborates with physicians, dieticians and other practitioners to offer the most effective care possible.
Gain skills needed to make peace with food while nourishing your
relationship with your body. Stop obsessing and start listening to what
you really need. It's time to start healing.
