We are hard at work preparing for the next Caregiver Workshop scheduled for November 21st and 22nd. When parents have good information and feel empowered to take action, their children have a much higher chance of recovering from their eating disorder.

Food trends are likely here to stay. But that’s all they are- trends. And like low-rise jeans, they go in and out of style as decades pass. Just because a food is popular, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s better for you or good for your health. It can be fun to try new recipes and experiment with some of these food trends, but be sure to keep it in perspective. Your body’s needs don’t change just because cottage cheese toast went viral.

Part of the fun of Halloween is enjoying candy. Unfortunately for people struggling with an eating disorder- eating Halloween candy may require them to use food rituals such as taking tiny bites, breaking it apart, frequent breaks, etc. These rituals can look very odd. We all have a favorite ways to eat a Reese, that does not necessarily mean that there is an eating disorder present. It is the joyless or robotic nature that is concerning!

Following the huge success of the movie K-Pop Demon Hunters from , we will be seeing little K-Pop demon hunters trick or treating around every corner this Halloween! But the truth is, we don’t need yet another movie to tell us that thin, beautiful women save the day again. “Because real life badasses have thighs that rub and stomachs that roll.” The first step to protecting yourself and your kids from this media influence, is to notice it. When you do, you’ll start seeing it everywhere. And talk about it. As I said to my daughter, “That’s so weird that all the demon hunters have such long legs. That’s not how real people look.” We have to teach ourselves and our kids to be more critical consumers of the media. If we don’t, those unspoken messages seep in.

It’s Halloween week and the candy is about to start flowing! It can be hard as a parent to know how to navigate candy… we want our kids to have fun but we also care about their health. Remember, candy is about more than calories and sugar, it’s about excitement, fun and celebration. Many of us as adults get a little twitchy when we see our kids eat waaay more candy than usual. But that is completely normal and actually just part of celebrating Halloween. Their health and nutrition will not be determined by a few hours (and neither will yours).

Thanks Kierstin for calling out the toxic messages that surround us every day. It really is just a bunch of hocus pocus.

Your threat sensitivity is not your fault!! Learning how to activate your social safety helps you slow down, see situations more clearly and engage rather than avoid. Radically Open DBT can help with that!

Ultra-processed foods are getting almost as much media attention as protein these days. And for good reason… our food industry could use some improvements. But if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that being rigid is never the best move. Food is not just about nutrition. It’s also about connection, enjoyment, memories and soothing. When we swear off certain foods, refuse to have them in the house or talk about how “bad” they are (even while we’re eating them), it breeds anxiety and shame in us and our kids. Let’s invest in our long-term health and relationship with food… all foods are okay to eat and we are no better or worse for eating them.

It might be time for you to make an Eating Disorder “Ick” List. Maybe your eating behaviors have improved a lot, binge eating and purging are things of the past, and movement is stable… but what about all the other ways your ED still creeps in? While EDs find ways to make themselves seem appealing, the truth is, well, “ick!” Shine a light on those sneaky ways your ED turns fun and enjoyment into “ick” so they don’t continue to rob you of peace and comfort in your own body. We’d love to hear from you… What “ick” moments have you noticed this week?
