That doesn’t mean that parents should be pretending that there is no stress. “Another thing to model is that there is not necessarily a perfect way to deal with this,” Dr. Manasse said. Instead of “modeling perfection,” what you can model is emotional communication, she said, acknowledging the stress and anxiety, coping with staying inside: “It’s OK to have anxiety, it’s OK to be stressed out, to have all these different feelings, but they don’t have to determine my behavior.”Rely on routines, Dr. Lumeng advised, with meals and snacks at scheduled times.

Introduction While food search and metabolic energy balance represented a key challenge for the longest part of human evolution, today’s modern, affluent societies secure the continued supply with energy dense, palatable and affordable foods.

Although such non-homeostatic roles of eating are natural, emotional eating is involved in difficulties with losing weight, linking it with the alarming rates of overweight and obesity worldwide (World Health Organization [WHO], 2018). Emotional eating has also been identified as a risk…

However, it has not been clear whether autistic traits result from eating disorders or precede them. This new longitudinal study, published in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, finds that autistic traits in childhood come before behaviours characteristic of eating disorders, and so could be a risk…

Relapses in my eating disorder recovery journey Up until a month ago, not much had changed, other than the fact that I was eating healthier foods and my binges were fewer and farther in between. Ok, that is actually a lot of change…but I wasn’t satisfied. All of my adult life I’ve been able to lose weight, not a ton at a time…
