Professional treatment is vital for any person diagnosed with an
eating disorder. I recommend all my clients work with a psychologist
while they work with me to learn about how to view food as a tool,
not an enemy, friend, or something to control at all costs. Moreover,
I work with my clients on body image and body image distortion.
I work to help my clients analyze and reprogram the relationship
they have with food, nutrition, their bodies, and exercise.
As a dietitian, personal trainer, and
mother of two, eating disorders are of special concern to me. It’s
important as parents to pay attention to our children’s eating
habits, mood changes, and the relationships they have developed
with food. Certainly, all adolescents are moody. But there are signs,
and I urge all parents, spouses, teachers, coaches, and friends
to look out for them. (Visit www.somethingfishy.org
– a great Website dedicated to preventing, diagnosing, and
treating eating disorders.)
