Atypical Anorexia: How to Deal With the Mental and Physical Health Risks and Why There are Controversies About the Term
Atypical anorexia has been in the news a lot in the past year. Whether you’re living in London (UK), Manchester (UK), or Birmingham (UK), or in Texas, California, or D.C., atypical anorexia is more common than you might think. Even though it’s considered “atypical,” it is still anorexia, and with it comes many mental and physical health risks. I have my own experiences having atypical anorexia, and the only differences were that (a) I didn’t “look” like I had anorexia in that I wasn’t unusually thin, and (b) NO ONE thought that I had anorexia, even though I demonstrated most of the symptoms. Let’s dive into the mental and physical health risks of atypical anorexia, and I’ll share more about my story of having it in middle school growing up in Colorado.

Addressing Triggers and Cravings During a Binge Eating Program: 5 Strategies that Help With Binge Eating
Whether you live in London, Manchester, or Birmingham in the UK, or whether you live in San Diego, Houston, or Washington DC in the US, or anywhere in between, it can be so helpful to join a binge eating program that helps you reduce and eliminate binge eating episodes. Such binge eating programs also teach you to manage obsessive thoughts: Imagine what it would be like to go from thinking about food, eating, and body image 90% of the time to 10% of the time. It’s amazing! I know. I’ve lived it. I’ve also created an online, self-paced binge eating program to help you get to that place, too. Regardless of what binge eating program you join, it’s really about finding freedom with food and with your body. Throughout such binge eating programs, you still may struggle with triggers and cravings. Don’t worry—I’m here to help! Here are five strategies on what to do when such triggers and cravings come up.
How to Find the Right Binge Eating Therapist for Your Needs: 5 Ways to Get Help for Binge Eating
Finding a decent therapist is hard. Finding the right binge eating therapist in California or Texas is even more difficult. It’s partly because many eating disorder therapists don’t have much experience and training in binge eating disorder. Also, many individuals struggling with binge eating are in larger bodies, and they face judgment, stereotyping, oppression, and accessibility issues on a daily basis. Most therapists are unaware of such issues. If you grapple with binge eating, you’ve likely tried a lot of coaches, physicians, dietitians, and perhaps even eating disorder therapists who just haven’t clicked. You’ve felt misunderstood, invalidated, minimized, and ridiculed. Finding an experienced, compassionate binge eating therapist who knows the complexities of binge eating disorder is key. Here are five ways on how to do it.
Exploring Body Acceptance: Embracing Size Diversity and Body Liberation
I remember in Denver, Texas, and San Diego, when I was in the clutches of my eating disorder, the possibility of body acceptance felt like it was in a galaxy far, far away. When I finally found the right eating disorder therapist in San Diego, California, I first entered her office filled with shame about my body. I felt like a failure. I felt incompetent. I had no hope. Over time, I began learning about fat acceptance, size diversity, and body liberation. At first it confused me, as all I wanted to do was lose weight. I eventually began to understand it, and it was like a new universe had opened up to me. Here’s what I came to understand.
ARFID: How to Deal With the Mental and Physical Health Risks
Struggling with ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) is no joke. I’ve been working with teens and adults for years in San Diego who have ARFID. My heart goes out to them. Whether you live in sunny San Diego or elsewhere in California, Texas, Florida, and other states or countries, having ARFID means that others misunderstand you, and medical providers frequently misdiagnose you. It’s so isolating. You may have a hard time keeping on weight. You feel uncomfortable going to restaurants and eating in front of other people. Friends and family often say to you “just eat” or ask, “Why can’t you get over it? It’s just food.” They don’t understand that food isn’t “just food” to you. It’s so much more.
