Dealing with Eating Disorders
tomrokey | Jul 16 2006
help! My 12 y0 daughter has practically stopped eating, yet she insists that she does not have a problem. We have taken her to our family physician, a psychologist and a dietitian. Her mother and I are strongly considering admitting her into a specialized hospital program. Things are very stressful around mealtimes at home and we do not know how to handle this. any advice? 7 Comments

It's interesting to say she likes to cook meals, many anorexic people become great chefs because they have a fascination with food, just not eating it. It sounds like you are on the right track and caught this early on. Eating disorders can do some serious damage to young kids still developing. The sad thing is that they think that they have to lose weight only by not eating, they don't realize that a person can be slim and still eat a decent amount of food (in proper portions, fat content, protein content, carb content, etc. of course). Good luck and I'm sure everything will turn out alright in the end for you. :) » POSTED IN:
