Even eating‑disorder therapists eat lunch — not because we’ve mastered some perfect relationship with food, but because we are human beings with bodies that require nourishment. Our work doesn’t exempt us from biology. We get hungry. We need breaks. We need fuel. And we love food! And honoring those needs is part of living in a body.

When we pause to eat, we’re practicing the same truth we invite our clients to embrace: that caring for a body is not optional, not earned, and not something you have to deserve. It’s simply part of being human. Perennial on Lockwood

Parents don’t cause eating disorders — and they also aren’t automatically equipped to treat them. Eating disorder treatment requires training, guidance, and support. That’s where we come in. When providers actively include, educate, and empower parents, outcomes improve. Involving families isn’t a backup plan — it’s often one of the most powerful tools we have. Let’s build parents up, not shut them out.

Do you ever find yourself zooming in on photos? Immediately looking for things to critique or compare, and somehow feeling worse about yourself by the end of it? Next time you feel the urge to zoom in, pause. Take a breath and look at the picture as a whole. Remember where you were, who you were with, and what that moment meant to you. Pictures aren’t meant to be picked apart or used as a way to put yourself down. They’re meant to capture memories, emotions, and moments worth holding onto.

Exercise is meant to support our lives, not run them. Movement is healthy—until it becomes something we feel trapped by, like forcing yourself to walk through a blizzard just to hit 10,000 steps. The goal isn’t perfection or numbers; it’s listening to your body and choosing balance over burnout.

We♥️Parents & Teachers! A huge thank you to for inviting us to talk to their parents and teachers about fostering positive body image, navigating picky eating and early warning signs of disordered eating in kids. Parents of kids preschool through 6th grade showed up to learn and ask some really important questions. It really does take a village, and we are grateful for the chance to join the Forsyth village last night.

Let’s be real. Your eating disorder is the unwelcomed guest that always tags along, no matter how far away you go. ED will always be sharing her opinions and directives, but you don’t have to listen! Part of the fun of road trips is enjoying where the path takes you and stopping at new and unknown places. And for the record, bodies still need food, even if you’re sitting all day.

What is one of the biggest recovery pitfalls? BUSYNESS. You don’t even have to say it- we know the ability to participate in activities that you have been missing is a very important step in recovery. AND… being excessively busy actually increases stress and risk of relapse. So parents, you may need to slow your kids down from jumping into the deep end with activities. And adults, you may need to pace yourself slower than you’d like. But trust us, it’s worth it.

So if you’re working on recovery, please remember:

Staying busy isn’t the same as staying healthy.

Productivity isn’t the same as progress.

And rest isn’t a luxury—it’s relapse prevention.
