ABOUT
E
ating disorders are extreme expressions of a range of
weight and food issues experienced by both men and
women. Although they currently fall into three distinct
diagnostic categories (which are evolving), individuals commonly have symptoms of more than one type of eating
disorder at a time. All are serious medical and psychological
problems with potentially life-threatening consequences.
Anorexia Nervosa is characterized by low weight due to
restrictive eating and/or purging and an intense fear of being
“fat.” The individual denies the seriousness of their low weight
even when emaciation is clear to others. About 1% of women
and .3% of men in the general population meet the criteria.*
Bulimia (also called bulimia nervosa) typically refers to
binge-eating followed by compensatory weight-loss behaviors
of a purging (e.g., self-induced vomiting, diuretic or laxative
abuse) or non-purging (e.g. restricting, excessive exercise)
nature. Although individuals with bulimia are usually within
a healthy weight range, they are preoccupied by food, weight,
and body concerns. About 1.5% of women and .5% of men
have bulimia.
Binge Eating Disorder (sometimes called compulsive
eating) is characterized by repeated periods of impulsive
gorging or continuous eating without regular compensatory
behaviors. About 3.5% of women and 2% of men meet the
clinical diagnosis of binge eating disorder.
Eating Disorders Not Otherwise Specified (EDNOS) is a
diagnosis for individuals who meet some—but not all—of
the criteria for one of the other eating disorders. Many more
people fall into this category than the other three.
Other Eating Disorders are quite rare, and they include pica,
rumination, and Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder.
Causes of eating disorders are multidimensional and
include genetics, family background, trauma, and our culture’s
idealization of thinness.
Symptoms include depression, low self-esteem, poor
body image, anxiety, loneliness, problems with relationships,
and obsession with food and weight.
Disordered Eating Behaviors such as restricting, bingeing, and purging that are initially a method of coping with
painful feelings and situations become habitual, undermining
physical health, self-esteem, and a sense of competence and
control.
Professional treatment to understand and overcome
the underlying causes, symptoms, and behaviors is usually
recommended.

Do You Have an Eating Disorder?
Respond honestly to these questions. Do you:
□ Constantly think about your food, weight, or body image?
□ Have difficulty concentrating because of those thoughts?
□ Worry about what your last meal is doing to your body?
□ Experience guilt or shame around eating?
□ Count calories or fat grams whenever you eat or drink?
□ Feel “out of control” when it comes to food?
□ Binge eat twice a week or more?
□ Still feel fat when others tell you that you are thin?
□ Obsess about the size of specific body parts?
□ Weigh yourself several times daily?
□ Exercise to lose weight even if you are ill or injured?
□ Label foods as “good” and “bad?”
□ Vomit after eating?
□ Use laxatives or diuretics to keep your weight down?
□ Severely limit your food intake?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, your attitudes and
behaviors around food and weight may need to be seriously addressed.
An eating disorders professional can give you a thorough assessment,
honest feedback, and advice about what you may want to do next.
WARNING SIGNS

fear of dietary fat, secretive bingeing, or lying about food
• An intense preoccupation with weight and body image
• Mood swings, depression, irritability
• Compulsive or excessive exercising, especially without adequate nutritional
intake or when injured or ill

SOURCEBOOKS
EATING DISORDERS
ANOREXIA NERVOSA
The Experience of
A
norexia colors one’s entire experience of living, not
only ravaging the body, but the mind and spirit as
well. Although dieting behaviors may have begun
as a way to gain self-esteem and feelings of mastery, they
insidiously escalate into a prison of painful thoughts and
confused emotions.
Weight gain is essential for successful recovery, because
of the physical, mental, and emotional changes associated
with dramatic weight loss. Sufferers cannot think clearly
enough to make good decisions, problem-solve, feel
motivated, or reap the full benefits of therapy. They are
trapped in harmful thought patterns, such as “black and
white” thinking, where everything is divided into extreme
categories. Foods are labeled either “good” or “bad,” bodies
are either “fat” or “thin,” and not being completely in-control
means being completely out-of-control. There is no middle
ground. Other habitual, negative thought patterns are
magnifying problems, magical thinking, and taking remarks
or situations too personally.
These thinking patterns are rooted in deeply-held
beliefs, which make change extremely difficult. Anorexics
typically believe that they can only be happy if they are
thin, and that self-indulgence is a sign of weakness. Most
devastating of all is the underlying belief in their own worthlessness, which is inextricably tied to the size of their bodies.
“I am fat and fat is bad,” or, “I am bad if I eat.” These beliefs
make it possible for individuals with anorexia to deny their
real needs for nourishment and self-nurturing.
Not only are thought patterns affected by starvation, but
feelings are affected as well. One common assumption is that
anorexia “numbs” emotions, but this is not entirely true. It
is probably more accurate to say that anorexic symptoms
translate painful or unacceptable emotions into thoughts and
feelings having to do with food and the body. Unfortunately,
anorexia comes with its own share of shame, loneliness,
and fears, which are then layered over the original negative
feelings.
Even the experience of success that accompanies the
superhuman willpower to not eat is tempered with selfdoubt. Individuals with anorexia think they can never be thin
enough or as good at doing anything other than losing
weight. Sometimes, other people complicate this issue by
complementing them on their thinness by saying things
like, “You look great. I wish I could lose weight like you.”
Recovering anorexics must learn that this type of response is
typical in a culture that values thinness to such a degree, and
that lasting success is not measured by external standards—
like the size of one’s body. Real success is based on how one
thinks and feels on the inside.

THE ART OF
After a long, long time being ill with anorexia, one of the Monte
Nido clients writes this about how you begin to eat again…
“I think you pick up your fork no matter how much your hand
is shaking and how many tears are pouring down your face and you
put the food in your mouth and chew. Chew as long as it takes, and
once you swallow breathe. Take it slow at first, allow yourself to cry,
to feel horrible, but remember why you are doing it. Because you are
hoping for life, because you want to be at your sisters wedding,
because you want to go to the beach with your best friend. Write it
down, look at it while you chew, have someone with you to remind
you. Keep doing this until it gets easier, and it will, I promise.
Eventually you won’t need to write it down or have someone remind
you all the time, eventually you’ll be able to stop shaking, to talk, to
laugh, to eat with your best friend ON THE WAY to the beach. Soon
you will realize the pain that caused you to stop eating can be dealt
with and passes, and you learn to move forward, learning from that
pain, eating and laughing and living. That’s what I would say.”

DIAGNOSING
Anorexia Nervosa
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is characterized by self-starvation. It
is commonly diagnosed using criteria from the American
Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual
of Mental Disorders (DSM ). The definition of AN has evolved
over the years, and will again in the DSM-5, which is
scheduled for release in Spring, 2013. The most significant
upcoming changes include eliminating amenorrhea as a
requirement for women and the criterion that the patient be
below “85% of recommended body weight.”
Some clinicians choose from a variety of multi-question
assessment tests to determine an eating disorder, and other
countries have their own guidelines. Essentially, the criteria
for AN can be generalized as follows:
A. The individual has a significantly low weight due to
restrictive eating.
B. The individual has an intense fear of gaining weight or
becoming fat, even though they are underweight.
C. The individual has a distorted body image, bases their
self-worth on the size and shape of their body, and
denies that their low body weight is serious cause for
concern.
There are two specific types of anorexia nervosa. “Restricting Type” denotes individuals who lose weight primarily by
reducing their overall food intake through dieting, fasting
and/or exercising excessively. “Binge-Eating/Purging Type”
describes those who regularly binge (consume large
amounts of food in short periods of time), and purge through
self-induced vomiting, excessive exercise, fasting, the abuse
of diuretics, laxatives, and enemas, or any combination of
these measures.

BULIMIA
ncouragement:
WHY GET BETTER?
T
he most important thing I can say about the struggle to
end bulimia is that it is worth it. Even though it is more of a
journey than a goal, and it begins in what feels like total
darkness, there is a light that exists within your own self, which will
guide you on your path to health and wholeness.
It might surprise you to hear that many women who have
recovered from an eating disorder believe that they are better off
in the long run for having had one. They consider their problems
with food and weight to have been their greatest teachers, without
which they might never have seriously questioned their beliefs and
values, or faced their inner fears. Recovery made them strong
enough to resist cultural pressures to be thin, and they stopped
judging other people based on size or shape. They learned to
respond to old patterns in new ways, enabling them to tackle other
problems with confidence and compassion. Although they are not
focused on food, they eat well and enjoy the benefits of good
nutrition. They are usually healthy, happy people.
All these changes might be difficult to fathom now, when you
feel caught in the cycle of bingeing and purging, but remember that
“eating” disorders are not really about eating. They are evidence of
other issues which, when healed, will transform the rest of your life.
In time, you will find other things that will fill you up—physically,
emotionally, and spiritually. As one person said to me, “Self-love
can be delicious.”
Inside of you is a creative, worthwhile, loving person. In your
heart, you know this is true. Stick to your commitment; continue
to participate in life instead of bingeing. Practice love and believe
in yourself. Make lists, get support, enter therapy, follow our twoweek program. It takes time for such a big
change. Don’t worry! Be willing to try
anything to get better. In the words of one
woman, “My life has not changed with
recovery, it has begun!”

DIAGNOSING
Bulimia Nervosa
The DSM criteria (see p. 4) for bulimia, also called bulimia
nervosa, has evolved and can be summarized as follows:
A. Recurrent episodes of binge eating, with an episode
characterized by (1) eating in a discrete period of time,
usually less than two hours, an amount of food that is
significantly larger than most people would eat during a
similar period of time and under similar circumstances;
and, (2) a sense of lack of control over eating during the
episode, such as a feeling that one cannot stop eating.
B. Recurrent inappropriate compensatory behavior in
order to prevent weight gain, such as self-induced
vomiting, misuse of laxatives, diuretics, enemas, fasting,
or excessive exercise.
C. Behaviors occur at least once a week for at least three
months.
Since I have become free from bulimia, I
experience happiness on a daily basis and
share love, humor, and vulnerability with
others. I never knew life could be this way,
or that I could be this way.
—a reader
D. Self-evaluation unduly influenced by body shape and
weight.
E. Behavior occurs separate from anorexia nervosa.
Also, there are many individuals with “subclinical” bulimia,
who fulfill only some of the criteria. Whether or not these
people technically have bulimia, their behaviors are also
life damaging and need to be taken seriously. For example,
someone may binge and purge less often than once a
week, but still have all the concerns of someone who
exhibits this behavior daily.

FAMILY-BASED TREATMENT
PA R E N T S & L O V E D O N E S
New Directions
T
wo decades ago Christopher Dare
and Ivan Eisler laid out the principles of their groundbreaking
Maudsley method of family based treatment for adolescent anorexia nervosa
at the University of London’s Maudsley
Hospital. This approach, which disregards
the idea that parents are to blame for their
child’s self-starvation and instead views
them as key players in restoring their
child’s weight and health, is now widely
used for all types of disordered eating.
Walter Kaye, M.D. director of UCSD’s
Eating Disorder Research and Treatment
Program, says, “Most people don’t have a
Maudsley therapist in their backyard.”
With this in mind, UCSD’s five-day family
therapy program provides tools the family
can take home with them and draw from
without expert guidance close at hand.
The program consists of family-based
techniques such as coached family meals
and psycho-educational sessions (including the biology of eating disorders and
brain imaging studies), CBT, cognitive
remediation therapy (to improve memory
and cognitive flexibility), and systemic
family therapy and nutrition and meal
planning advice, which has not traditionally been part of the FBT approach.
Nancy Zucker, Ph.D., director of the
Duke University Eating Disorder Program, developed a parent skills program
called “Off the C.U.F.F. (Calm, Unwavering, Firm and Funny)” at about the same
time that Maudsley first came into use,
around 2000. The program, influenced by
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, teaches
parents skills to help their child manage
disordered eating and weight concerns.
By tuning into a child’s emotional state, a
parent can help distract or soothe him or
her before negative emotions take over.
By taking care of themselves and each
other, staying calm, firm, and retaining
their sense of humor, parents model
healthy behaviors and counter the lack of
joy experienced by a seriously anorexic
child.
Off the C.U.F.F.’s parent group sessions can be done concurrently with
Maudsley, and provide isolated and
exhausted parents a safe haven where
they can let off steam, compare notes, set
goals, and learn healthy coping strategies.
A manualized version of Off the C.U.F.F.
is also available (see below).
Two sites that offer Maudsley information, tips on how to search for a
qualified Maudsley practitioner, and a list
of family-based practitioners around the
world are F.E.A.S.T. (www.feast-ed.org)
and Maudsley Parents (www.maudsley

Your Emotions
B
eing in a relationship with someone who has an eating disorder can be many
things, including frightening, confusing, frustrating, and maddening. After all, your
loved one is endangering (his or) her health and life.
You’re going to need maximum strength and patience. Take time for yourself and your
needs and make sure your other relationships remain healthy. You need to set an example
by living a rich, full, and happy life. Put yourself first when it is appropriate! And don’t
be shy about asking members of your loved one’s treatment team for ideas or recommendations, as well as comfort.

There you can ask questions, explore how your loved one’s
eating disorder makes you feel, and to learn to confront
these emotions in healthy and constructive ways. Groups
are particularly helpful because you will hear other
parents share their experiences and the ways in which
they deal with them, and you can be reminded you aren’t
alone in what you going through.
Connecting with your emotions has several benefits.
For one thing, it allows you to stay connected to your loved
one. For example, if you are trying not to feel angry or
scared, you won’t be able to pay attention to what she
is saying or how you might want to respond. You’ll be
distracted and stymied by your efforts to pretend that
you are calm when you are not.
b Also, you are a crucial role model for your loved one.
She needs to see you can experience a wide range of
emotions without becoming overwhelmed—something
she is much of the time. If you act as though you don’t feel
such things as frustration or fear, she’ll follow your lead
and try to deny or rid herself of these kinds of emotions.
A major aspect of her recovery is learning to believe she
can tolerate and survive her feelings. She needs to observe
people successfully doing this very thing.
“For years we all tiptoed around, like we didn’t feel anything. It took my daughter’s anorexia to break us out of
that. Now we feel connected to each other. It doesn’t mean
everything’s always happy, but it does mean we always
get to be real.” —a parent

FAMILY
THERAPY
A M I LY T H E R A P Y, whether
it includes everyone in the family
or just those most able to participate, is a perfect opportunity for exploring eating disorders and relationship
issues. It a safe place where everyone
can express thoughts and feelings, using
a trained, objective professional as a
middleman. You can all talk about things
you might be afraid to say at home on
your own. Your family will learn that no
one is to blame for the eating disorder,
but that everyone is responsible for
taking productive steps towards healing.
Family therapy, coupled with assertiveness training, is an extremely
effective tool for recovery. In some cases,
therapists treating adolescents require
that the family be treated as a whole.
Ideally, all family members would share
the goal of improving their relationships,
so that not only would the individual
with the eating disorder feel supported,
but the entire family dynamic would also
improve, affecting every member in a
positive way.
Sometimes multi-family therapy
groups, where several families get together in a facilitated meeting, can be
beneficial. This type of setting encourages families to share their experiences
and get the support that they need, as
well. A child with an eating disorder is a
scary thing and parents need a place to
voice their concerns, ask questions of
other families, and find reassurance.

n the middle of my daughter’s freshman year at college, her eating disorder
returned for a repeat visit. From all physical indications, we thought we
had successfully helped her overcome her disorder. However, we had not
sufficiently addressed the central issues: how she feels about life, the pressures
she feels to prove her self-worth to her family and others, the prospects of
unattainable perfection, and the destructive behaviors and attitude she employs
to try and feel and be seen as valuable. Apparently, the cycle was not complete.
For whatever reason, our family was given a challenge and a conflict to
face and resolve. We had the choice to work it out or let it continue to fester.
Subsequently, we had an opportunity to uncover resources and strengthen
our family relationships or retreat from this growth experience. We could
continue to sabotage our growth with self-limiting thoughts and emotions,
such as fear or resentment, or choose a course of self-fulfillment, forgiveness,
and love.
Our family chose the latter course. With the help of others and our most
competent teacher, our daughter, we navigated a course of possibilities and
greater respect for the value each of us contributes toward strengthening our
family. Recovering from an eating disorder has empowered our daughter with
confidence to express her needs and ask to be recognized as an authentic
person. Her experience has provided tools and a voice to enlighten us to create
a climate where she is addressed as an equal family member.
As a family participating in our daughter's recovery, we made a concerted
effort to point our compass toward rays of hope and sunshine. The Universe
wants us to learn from the happy occurrences that happen to us. Balance
is achieved, however, by learning from painful experiences as well. Our
responsibility is to develop awareness, set intentions, and continue to walk
toward the sunshine.

Also, discuss with the person you are assisting their expectations for
your involvement. At the same time, set boundaries that make it clear
that he or she is responsible for their own recovery, affirming that you
will do whatever possible to help. Here are more general suggestions:
Remember that your loved one has the food problem, and it is up
to them to do the work.
Make a pact of complete honesty.
Be patient, sympathetic, non-judgmental, and a good listener.
Let them know that you care and have their best interests at heart.

Accept that recovery is a process and does not happen quickly.
Help him or her to be patient, as well.
When their behavior affects you, express yourself without placing
guilt or blame. Try not to take their actions personally. Use “I”
messages, explaining your feelings and concerns. You may need
to disengage to take care of yourself.
Have compassion. Your loved one may be overwhelmed as they
gets in touch with the painful issues underlying the behavior. They
will need your love and support at these times more than ever.

Continually remind yourself that your loved one uses bulimia as
a way of coping with life. Encourage them to find healthier ways.
Do not try to guess what they wants, but urge them to express their
needs and boundaries. Assure them that they can say “No”
sometimes! If you have questions, ask.
Learn about issues related to eating disorders, such as: societal
pressures, the glorification of thinness, physical consequences of
starvation, weight prejudice, set point, family dynamics, and
self-esteem.
Campaign for professional therapy, keeping in mind that no single
approach to recovery works for everyone. Be available for joint
counseling. Be flexible and open in supporting whatever method
is chosen.
Don’t comment on appearance. You may think you are offering
compliments, but they can sometimes be misinterpreted.
Recognize that they need to learn to make their own decisions,
and that the direction of recovery is their responsibility.

Surviving an
Eating Disorder
H E A LT H Y E AT I N G
BY KAREN KOENIG
Treasures, Not Trash
Read Karen’s blog at

hether you’re just beginning to address your under- or overeating
problems, or have been making steady progress for years or decades,
to achieve full recovery there’s one area you’ll have to address: you
must learn how to put your emotions to work. This means not dancing around
uncomfortable feelings by eating or calorie counting, obsessing about what you
can/can’t/should/shouldn’t eat, or focusing on the numbers on the scale.
Every time you use food instead of feeling an authentic emotion, you miss
an opportunity to discover something about what’s happening in your internal
world. Emotions help us decide what is self-threatening—spotting flames across
the room and smelling smoke—and what is self-enhancing—sensory delight
derived from gazing out over the ocean as gulls soar overhead and the sun dips
into the sea.
What if emotions aren’t demons after all? What if emotions are your teachers
and caretakers? What if they’re not trash but treasures?
Recovery means blossoming into a full, emotionally mature person. For that
to happen you must (yes, must) learn to experience all of your feelings; you can’t
pick and choose. Becoming emotionally healthy is an all or nothing proposition,
but one you can achieve over time. If you believe you can’t bear your feelings
alone, find a therapist who can guide you through them. Share your feelings with friends, start a journal, hug yourself, cry, holler till you’re
hoarse, beat your pillow, sob till you’re exhausted.
At some point, you have to choose between food and
feeling. You already know where a food obsession will
lead you, so why not give feelings a try?

Seven Keys to a Permanent,
Positive Relationship with
Food and Your Body
A HEALTHY
EATING RITUAL
Before eating, create an intention for your meal and
light a candle as a symbol. If you’re dining with family or friends, share your intention out loud. This can
be a beautiful ritual that allows each person to be
heard and honored for exactly where they are today.
A caregiver’s intention might be, “I will keep the
focus on myself and enjoy each bite of food.” For
someone in recovery it might be, “I am willing to
nourish my body with this food,” or “I am committed
to stop eating when I feel full.” Then take some time
to be together in gratitude for yourself, each other,
and the food that you are about to eat.

ntuitive eating means having a positive relationship with
food of all kinds. For intuitive eaters, meals are not a moral
dilemma resulting in feelings of guilt and shame, but rather
a place to practice tuning into one’s inner needs and fulfilling
those needs in a healthy, nurturing way.
While there are many ways of incorporating intuitive
eating, three core characteristics stand out:
1. Unconditional permission to eat.
2. Reliance on internal hunger and satiety cues.
3. Eating for physical, rather than emotional reasons.
Although most chronic dieters and disordered eaters have
lost touch with these skills, the good news is that they can be
relearned through attunement—a process of listening and
responding to your body cues, rather than focusing on rigid
food rules. This means making decisions about eating based
on what your body is experiencing. For example, if you have a
grumbling stomach (one of many hunger cues), you might
respond by eating a snack, rather than sticking to a rigid rule
like, “It’s not okay to eat between meals.” Without considering
your internal body cues of what would best satisfy hunger, you
can easily feel deprived. This in turn may increase cravings and
thoughts of food, overeating, dieting, and heighten anxiety
around snacks and meals.

Intuitive Eating
A Revolutionary
Program that Works
Fully Revised
Evelyn Tribole & Elyse Resch
Studies show that trusting and satisfying one’s physical
hunger causes an increase in well-being, both physically and
mentally. One study looked at the relationship between
intuitive eating and the quality of the diet in 343 college
students. The results showed that the intuitive eaters did not
make poor nutritional choices. Rather, these students had a
greater diversity in eating, more satisfaction, and healthier
body weights. Another study of 1,300 college women found
intuitive eaters were more optimistic, had better self-esteem,
a lower body mass index (BMI), and were less likely to
internalize our culture’s unrealistic thin ideal.*
APPLYING INTUITIVE EATING
TO YOUR LIFE
So, how do you balance creating a positive relationship
with food, while also considering nutrition? Several factors
come to mind:
1. Getting in touch with your internal satiety cues of
hunger and fullness.
2. Discovering satisfaction in eating.
3. Using nutrition information without judgment.
When you can enjoy food with unconditional permission, the process of eating becomes emotionally neutral: you
do not feel good or bad based on what you eat. You also
understand that one meal will not make or break your health—
or your weight. Ultimately, intuitive eating feels good, which
is self-reinforcing. Remember, when you can truly eat intuitively, it doesn’t take much chocolate to satisfy a sweet tooth.

inge eating seems to meet some need for those who suffer. Eating is
comforting—it can help us push unpleasant feelings away, deal with
boredom, allow us to feel satisfied and taken care of, and distract us
from stress or pain. Food also tastes good and provides satisfaction. Compulsive overeaters can have all sorts of reasons for bingeing, but their condition
takes on a life of its own and transforms from a source of comfort to a
monumental, self-destructive condition that negatively impacts quality of life.
The key to recovery is combining the motivation to get well and live
differently with a good primary treatment experience, followed by a solid
continuing care program that helps avoid relapse. Each compulsive overeater
must make their recovery the top priority in their life and simultaneously be
willing to change.
Recovery, then, is dependent upon adopting new coping strategies, finding
new ways to deal with feelings, identifying “high risk situations” and avoiding
them whenever possible, and engaging in the routine use of new tools to get
through life’s daily difficulties. To accomplish this, compulsive overeaters need
to utilize a support system that maximizes a proactive response to healthy
living and minimizes the isolation and self-delusion that accompany the
disorder. Being able to avoid a relapse is the ultimate goal for all those who
suffer from eating disorders. This is equally true for binge eaters.

DIAGNOSING
Binge Eating Disorder
Beginning in 2013, Binge Eating Disorder (BED) has its own classification in the DSM-5
(see page 5). Note, BED does not have a weight criterion and should not be confused with
obesity, which is a medical condition rather than an eating disorder. Other terms sometimes used to describe BED include compulsive overeating, emotional eating, or food
addiction. The DSM-5 criteria can be summarized as:
A. Recurrent episodes of binge eating, which are characterized by (1) eating in a discrete
period of time, usually less than two hours, an amount of food that is significantly larger
than most people would eat during a similar period of time and under similar circumstances; and, (2) a sense of lack of control during the episode.
B. The binge-eating episodes are associated with 3 (or more) of the following:
(1) eating more rapidly than normal, (2) eating until feeling uncomfortably full,
(3) eating large amounts of food when not feeling physically hungry, (4) eating alone
because of feeling embarrassed; and, (5) feeling disgusted with oneself, depressed,
or guilty after overeating.
C. Marked distress regarding binge eating is present.
D. The binge eating occurs, on average, at least once a week for 3 months.
E. The binge eating is not associated with the recurrent use of inappropriate compensatory
behavior and occurs separate from either bulimia nervosa or anorexia nervosa.
Have compassion for yourself.
Be honest and kind to yourself as you examine your
beliefs, thought patterns, and assumptions about your
body and the bodies of other people.
Expand your idea of beauty.
Expand your concept of what is beautiful. View art.
Observe different cultures. Spend time in nature.
Constantly remind yourself that everyone is beautiful
in his or her own way. Think about people you admire.
In what ways are they beautiful?
Let go of perfectionism.
In the same way that you are learning to accept yourself—flaws and all—you will also be learning to accept
your unique body. Striving to reach an arbitrary idea of
physical perfection is a form of self-sabotage, and is not
possible anyway.
Talk back to harmful body thoughts.
When you hear yourself being self-disparaging, talk
back. Use positive affirmations and rational, rather
than emotional, language.
Process body trauma with support.
Sometimes, body image issues are symptoms of past
trauma, such as teasing, abuse, rejection, or abandonment. Healing the pain of trauma is a challenging and
intimate process. Working with a qualified therapist is
recommended.

Ways to Improve
BODY IMAGE
Tolerate negative body talk without acting
on it.
You don’t go from bulimia to loving your body in one
day. Acknowledge that it’s a process, and that negative
body talk is inevitable. But don’t act on the thoughts
by turning to old habits. Instead, learn to talk back,
or decide that you just aren’t going to listen right now.
Understand the deeper meanings of negative
body talk.
Negative body talk is a symptom of an eating disorder,
just like bingeing and purging. There can be deeper
meaning behind the phrases “I feel fat” (I feel worthless) or “I have to lose weight” (My life lacks meaning).
When you have these thoughts, recognize that they are
code for deeper issues, and investigate.
Reconnect your mind and body.
Certain activities—yoga, stretching, dancing, Pilates,
Tai Chi—bring the mind and body together by focusing
on the physical experience of the moment. These are
wonderful practices for both quieting the mind and
building a friendship with the body.
Write a love letter to your body.
Thank your body for all the good things it does for you.
Appreciate it for giving you a life. Tell it the kinds of
things you would say to a soul mate, because, after all,
your body is your soul’s companion!

magine yourself standing in the rain on the bank of a
raging river. Suddenly, the water-swollen bank gives way.
You fall in and find yourself being tossed around in the rapids. Your efforts
to keep afloat are futile and you are drowning. By chance, along comes a huge
log and you grab it and hold on tight. The log keeps your head above water
and saves your life. Clinging to the log you are swept downstream and eventually come to a place where the water is calm.
There, in the distance, you see the riverbank and attempt to swim to
shore. You are unable to do so, however, because you are still clinging to the
huge log with one arm as you stroke with the other. How ironic. The very
thing that saved your life is now getting in the way of your getting where you
want to go. There are people on shore who see you struggle and yell, “Let go
of the log!” But you are unable to do so because you have no confidence in
your ability to make it to shore.
And so, very slowly and carefully, you let go of the log and practice floating. When you start to sink, you grab back on. Then you let go of the log and
practice treading water, and when you get tired, hold on once again. After
awhile, you practice swimming around the log once, twice, ten times, twenty
times, a hundred times, until you gain the strength and confidence you need
to swim to shore. Only then do you completely let go of the log.

fter leaving residential treatment I stayed in
touch with the friends I had made there. I
used those connections to aid me in my daily
struggles. They knew how challenging recovery
could be, and we shared many of the same goals.
Having someone on the other end of the phone who
understood my feelings was a tremendous help. We brainstormed
and cried with each other and sometimes met for coffee or just to
hang out.
Sometimes, I emailed someone or picked up the phone to get
words of encouragement. Those connections kept me moving forward so that I could redirect my negative thoughts into positive ones
and have a reality check. My attitude always improved when they
would say, “I believe in you, I am proud of you, and you aren’t alone.”

There’s a bench just up ahead
Under some trees.
Let’s sit down,
Stop for a while.
We don’t have to talk
Unless you want to.
We can listen to the birds sing,
Feel the wind,
Enjoy the view,
And see,
Really see
The life that’s out there for us.
Then,
When we are both ready,
We can continue
Our journey of recovery.
I know it has its bumps
And steep hills,
But it also has its
Easier, smoother valleys and vistas.
The most important thing,
My friend,
Is that we not travel it alone.
It is a journey meant to be taken
Hand in hand.

appearances; it’s about being the person you are and appreciating
your place in the world. How do you get there? By listening to and honoring
your inner voice, by acknowledging your unique gifts, and by attending to your
needs—whether physical, spiritual, or emotional.
As you become more self-accepting, you will begin
to experience yourself in a more loving way. The need to
use disordered eating behaviors to hide from your feelings and lived experiences will seem far less essential.
And most importantly, you will be motivated to care for
your body because it is the “form” in which you get to
experience love—both with others and for yourself.

Mindfulness
Recovery
indfulness is a practice of stilling the mind by purposefully paying
attention to the present moment in a completely nonjudgmental
manner. Here in this place of acceptance, where we acknowledge
that being human means having ups and downs, strengths and weaknesses,
we discover a connection to our inner selves. This connection, which we
strengthen by practicing mindfulness, can be a foundation for our journey
to wholeness and healing.
When practicing mindfulness, we become an observer of our experience.
Thoughts about food, body preoccupation, stress, and relationships float
through our mind as softly as leaves floating down a river. As we gather more
mindfulness skills we become the stable boulder in the middle of the river.
The obsessive thoughts slip by as we remain a grounded observer of our
experience. Ultimately, we move from relying on harmful behaviors as a
means to cope, to feeling nurtured by a sense of deep relaxation and the
realization of personal insights.

IMPERFECTION
E
arlier this year, I was invited to
spend three days at a resort in
Florida. On the beach, I was
amazed by what I saw. There were hundreds of almost naked bodies and no two
of them were alike. There were old men,
young men, bikini-clad teenage girls in
baseball caps, old women in big straw
hats—it was all there, and all incredibly
and uncomfortably exposed.
The part of me that struggles with
my own body shame wanted to scream,
“Put some clothes on, people! Cover up!”
The other part of me wanted to strip
naked and roll in the sand (and I hate
sand). I felt this incredibly strong and
uncomfortable tension inside me. Part of
me was ashamed by what I saw and the
other part of me was liberated. One voice
within me was small and apologetic; the
other wanted to shout with joy.
As I sank deeper and deeper into
my own struggle looking from person to
person, I realized there was only one
thing that all of these people had in common: imperfection. Everyone was too
naked, too exposed, too real. Everyone
was imperfect, and I was both drawn to
the imperfection and repelled by it.
A few months have passed since
that day on the beach, and I haven’t
stopped thinking and writing about
imperfection and my experience that
day. Two questions that emerged were:
1) Why do we believe that being
imperfect is the same as being
inadequate?
2) As totally imperfect beings, how
do we move past the idea that our
imperfections make us unworthy
of belonging and connection?
I believe that it is essential for each
of us to not just answer these questions,
but also live our way into the answer. For
me, I believe that our imperfections are
what connect us to each other and to our
humanity. Yes, our imperfect bodies,
lives, careers and families can cause us
tremendous grief and suffering; however, our greatest moments of courage,
compassion and connection are also
created from these difficult experiences.
I know for me that it is only when I
understand and embrace my vulnerabilities and imperfections that I start to
experience the resilience I need to be my
best, most authentic self.

and the fun and pleasure of eating. Try not to
label food as “good” or “bad.” Some foods are
more nutrient dense than others, but morally
all food is equal—it’s fuel!
Discuss the difference between emotional and
physical hunger and how the two often get mixed
up. Physical hunger is a feeling in the belly that
the body needs fuel. Emotional hunger is usually
a need to express feelings or have feelings
acknowledged.
Along these same lines, talk about the role of
feelings: that they are signposts for living, and
not to be “stuffed” or “starved” away.

T
he Academy for Eating Disorders (AED) conducted informal surveys,
focus group discussions, and interviews of its members to gain a
clearer picture of the factors perpetuating the research-practice gap.
The responses indicated a lack of shared respect for the mutual contributions of both researchers and practitioners to the field.
Perhaps the most salient attitudinal factor contributing to this divide is
the difference in views about what constitutes valid evidence. Clinicians tend
to place greater value on evidence born from clinical observation and
experience. Conversely, researchers tend to value the evidence derived from
structured research trials.
We propose that fostering communication, collaboration and partnership between researchers and practitioners will produce substantive,
longstanding improvements in the quality of not only clinical practice, but
also in the quality of research. Building on the directions outlined in the AED
initiative, we suggest practical steps that individual treatment professionals
and treatment facilities can take to begin bridging the gap in their own
practice settings.
PRACTICAL STEPS
Step 1:
Join research-practice networks through AED.
Step 2:
Gain access to treatment research to expand
and improve clinical treatment tools and to stay
abreast of key findings.
Step 3:
Translate practice to research by sharing case
studies.
Step 4:
Incorporate simple research methods and
treatment outcome measures into everyday
practice.

FINDING TREATMENT
HOW TO
CHOOSE A
Treatment Provider
M
ost individuals with bulimia should consider professional therapy. First and foremost, find someone who
specializes in eating disorders. These are complex
and multidimensional problems, and particular knowledge and
experience is needed—not all professionals are trained in this
field. Put in time and effort to find a therapist or treatment
facility that is a good fit for you. Call their office and perhaps
schedule an initial session or phone interview. Be prepared with
a list of questions, and sense whether you feel good about their
answers and you communicated well with each other. When
you investigate therapy options, consider the following:
• How much experience do they have treating eating
disorders?
• Do they work with other members of a treatment team?
• How will the team members be coordinated, and who
will be the leader or point person for questions?
• What if you need medication?
• How often will you have sessions?
• Will there be a support group?
• How soon does the therapist expect to see results?
• How long would they expect therapy to last?
• What will the charges be, and will they accept your
insurance?
• Do they have a comfortable office?
• What is their clinical approach?
• Does the therapist seem kind and nonjudgmental?
• Do they focus on changing thought patterns and
expressing feelings?
• Does the therapist answer you directly and invite you
to express yourself?
• Do they give homework to keep clients engaged between
sessions?

How Long Does
It Take to Recover?
R
ecovery means different things to different people. I
like to look at it as a process that begins by stopping
the behaviors and balancing one’s chemistry, moves
through an examination of the underlying mental, emotional,
and spiritual issues, and evolves into feelings of integration,
connection, and purpose. First, though, must come the
motivation and readiness to change.
People often ask whether I believe in full recovery. I say I
do, because that term works for me. I haven’t binged in over
thirty years, and don’t expect to ever again. Is this a guarantee?
No, it’s not. What’s more, people who have practiced the
abstinence approach might have the same successful track
record, yet still call themselves, “recovering.” Perhaps this is
just a case of semantics. If someone believes in their heart that
they have made peace with food, that they love and appreciate their body, and they are comfortable with the hard-won
“freedom” from obsession they have earned by whatever
method, then they can call themselves anything they want!

Seven C’s in
Choosing a Therapist
1. Connection
Therapy can take many paths, but no matter which one
you take, the relationship you form with your therapist is a
steppingstone to healing your disconnections from yourself,
from other people, and from your ability to take risks and
grow. So, it is important that you feel comfortable and safe
with the professional you choose.
2. Competence
Don't be afraid to ask about the therapist's experience.
Many professionals have a broad range of skills, especially if
they have been practicing for many years. It is appropriate to
ask questions.
3. Collaboration
Therapy is a collaborative relationship, but therapists are
not mind readers. It is your responsibility to convey what you
are feeling and thinking and to let the professional into your
private world. Despite the difficultly of disclosing personal
information, try not to censor yourself. Openness is key.
4. Care
Therapy is above all a personal relationship. It is important to feel that the person you are working with cares about
your life, your well-being, and your progress. A good therapist
will check in with you and discuss the pace of the work you
are doing together.
5. Challenge
While it is key to find a professional who is caring and
a good listener, it is also smart to find someone who will
challenge you to some degree—and in a caring way. Through
experiencing some discomfort, we are often able to make the
most meaningful changes.
6. Comfort
In choosing a professional, be an informed consumer.
Become acquainted with the many orientations and styles of
psychotherapy and feel free to shop around and set up more
than one consultation. Therapists differ. Above all, trust your
own judgment. No one style works for everyone. Find your
own comfort zone.
7. Confidentiality
Trust is at the foundation of any healing relationship. It
is the therapist's responsibility to maintain the focus on treatment, your well-being, and uphold professional boundaries
and confidentiality.
