\u201cI already ate at school.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019m not hungry.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ll get fat from eating that.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/h6>\n

The earlier an eating disorder is detected, the less time it has to intensify.\u00a0 Spotting warning signs of any type of disordered eating can benefit the person affected and parents can detect the signs by noticing even the slightest changes to their child\u2019s emotional behavior and physical appearance.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Emotional Signs:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Preoccupation with weight, exercise, dieting, and appearance\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Intense change in moods; frequent irritability<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Social isolation<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Discomfort when eating with others<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Restriction of specific foods or food categories<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Intense concern with physical appearance and weight<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Increase in exercise<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Engagement with fad diets<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Food rituals (i.e. ripping food apart, excessive condiment use, calorie counting, excessive chewing, etc)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Physical Signs:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Perceptible changes in weight (either increase or decrease)<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Feeling cold\/complaining of feeling cold frequently<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Dizziness<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Difficulty sleeping; sleeping too much or not enough<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Teeth problems (i.e. discoloration, sensitivity, erosion, increased cavities)<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Difficulty concentrating\/poor memory<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Weakness<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Dry hair\/skin\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Poor immune system<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      All above-mentioned traits should be recognized within the context of eating, exercise, and perception of self.\u00a0 There are times where a child can be challenging authority and not wanting to eat as a way of defiance; that does not equal an eating disorder.\u00a0 It can be hard to distinguish the normal developments of a child\/teen pressing the boundaries versus one that is truly struggling.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Continue to follow me on this journey as education is provided around how to determine whether your child or someone else you know is struggling with eating.\u00a0 Please don\u2019t hesitate to reach out for help, it can save a life.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
