Tips For Dealing With Eating Disorders

1. You are not your weight - Get rid of the scale.

2. Gentle Eating - Begin your meal by closing your eyes and breathing slowly, noticing how you are feeling, Sad, Mad or glad? Locate your hunger on a scale of 1-10. One being starved and ten being stuffed. Spend 15 minutes in silence and put your fork down after each bite. When 15 minutes is completed, take time to stretch and breathe, locate your hunger again and then finish your meal.

3. Take the feelings off the food -Food is Fuel -Talk about your feelings-do not eat over them.

4. No food or body talk - Do not talk about food or anything dealing with anyone
