Perfectionism and anxiety go hand-in-hand. Pobody’s nerfect. No, I’m not having a stroke. If you haven’t heard that saying before, it means nobody’s perfect, said imperfectly. I don’t care who you are, you’re not perfect and you never will be. Stick with me here, I’m not trying to be a jerk! The problem with perfectionism Is there a problem with wanting to be perfect and striving for perfectionism? I think that’s up to you to decide. My opinion and experience have shown me that nothing good can come from it. Perfectionism can be a good or a bad thing. I…

I recently went to my gastroenterologist for a consulting visit before my scheduled procedure in April and I was so honestly happy with the outcomes. When I began the process of seeking out treatment for my stomach issues (which are related directly to my anxiety, have been persisting for years, and likely were made more difficult due to my ED behaviors), I was really nervous and didn’t know what to expect. A family history of GI-related illnesses (Crohn’s, celiac disease) runs in my family, and I had been experiencing symptoms for the past few months that were indicative of something…

Wendy Lipshultz, 48, is a Washington-area mom whose daughter Becca developed anorexia when she was in seventh grade. Becca, who is now 17, lost so much weight that she had to be hospitalized and then spend six weeks at an inpatient eating disorder program. It’s been about five years since she has come home.

As a child, Becca never had any food issues. Of my three kids, she was probably my…

If you struggle with binge eating, you have likely tried dieting as a way to gain control over your eating. And, if you are like most dieters, you have likely discovered that diets don’t work. You may be able to stick to the diet plan for a certain amount of time but inevitably the pendulum swings back in the other direction, you fall off the diet wagon, and you feel more out of control around food than ever before. Most dieters blame themselves for this cycle—if only I had more willpower, self-control, and discipline!—but this cycle of restriction followed by…

On NutritionIt’s the most common eating disorder in the United States, but most people who struggle with binge eating disorder (BED) will never get treatment — or at least the right treatment. There are many reasons this happens, including shame, weight bias and lack of understanding of what eating disorders look like.I’ve previously written about how many people with “atypical” anorexia nervosa — atypical meaning the person doesn’t look emaciated — go undiagnosed or are poorly treated. In some ways, the BED story is similar. “I feel like eating disorders across the board get missed,” said certified eating-disorder specialist and…
