12/10/2020 0 Comments Managing Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating Around the Holidays: Tips and StrategiesBy Marissa Mangual, MS, LPC The holidays can be a wonderful time to connect with loved ones and celebrate. It can also create stress for those struggling with an eating disorder or disordered eating behaviors. Here are a few tips that may be useful during this holiday season:
“I will eat to nourish my body, mind, and soul” “I am able to trust and listen to what my body needs” “I deserve to eat” “I am building a healthy relationship with food” “I trust my body and hunger cues to tell me when I am satisfied”
“Could we please talk about something other than calories, weight, or diets?” “I’d rather not discuss what’s on my plate or how I look.” “Let’s make this table a safe place with topics that we’re all comfortable with.” “This food isn’t ‘bad,’ it’s succulent.” (Or herbal, flaky, aromatic. Fruity. Salty. Peppery. Any descriptive adjective will do.) “I’d prefer not to talk about treatment or recovery.”
