The Modesto Bee includes our book “No Weigh!” as a resource for those struggling during the pandemic. Great interview by my co-author Signe Darpinian, LMFT, CEDS-S @noweighguide who shared her wisdom for managing #emotionaleating. She advises people to “press the pause button and create a space between you and the food.” As eating disorders rise, patients, parents, coaches, trainers, clinicians have to be on the lookout for disordered symptoms (more about this in bio). Probably one of the most important thing to know about eating disorders is that they can occur in anyone. There is no one “look.” They affect people in all sized bodies, of all ages, genders, ethnicities etc.
“One of my biggest pet peeves, is when an athlete forgets to fuel up before after-school sports,” says Wendy Sterling, a registered dietitian and team nutritionist for the Oakland Athletics. “Kids may eat lunch at 11:30 and then not eat again until after sports are over at 6 p.m.,” notes Sterling, who is also the co-author of “How to Nourish Your Child Through an Eating Disorder: A Simple, Plate-by-Plate Approach to Rebuilding a Healthy Relationship with Food” and “No Weigh!: A Teen’s Guide to Positive Body Image, Food, and Emotional Wisdom.” “Missing this critical after school pre-workout opportunity leads to tired, sluggish athletes on the field who often can’t get through practice – and if they do get through practice, it’s likely on fumes,” she says.
Eating disorders in children are probably one of the scariest things that can develop around food. As a parent, it’s important to learn the signs of an eating disorder so we can catch it early. It can sometimes be hard to detect if our child is eating abnormally, especially if they are older and spend more time and meals away from home. Wendy and Casey join dietitian Jill Castle on her podcast, the Nourished Child.
