Today is day 4 of Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2014.
I think many people suffer from forms of disordered eating, even if it does not affect them in such a way as eating disorders such as anorexia.
Eating Disorders Awareness Week is also about promoting a healthy attitude towards food. The question is, what is 'normal' eating?
In the adolescent eating disorders unit I go to, we do a group called food and me, and today we learnt what 'normal' eating was, so I thought I'd share it with you.
They are only my brief notes, but I hope this helps give a perspective on what a healthy attitude towards food is, and maybe even help you spot signs of disordered eating in yourself or your friends/family if they are the opposite of some of the points.
One point I forgot to add on this was that people who eat in a healthy manner do not avoid particular food groups, they eat a healthy balance of all of them and do not think too deeply about what food/ food group it is that they are eating.
I hope this helps, and if anyone wants me to expand on this please comment below or email myjourneywithrecovery@gmail.com
Stay strong and raise awareness and promote healthy eating!
