@BBC Stories

Veganuary, vegan burgers, vegan trainers – veganism is definitely having a moment.

And a well-planned vegan diet can support healthy living in people of all ages, according to the British Dietetic Association.

But for Rebecca Hills, 20, going vegan wasn’t about ‘ethics’ and ‘healthy eating’, like she told people. It was to cover up her eating disorder.

FEAST of Knowledge 2020 – 02 Distress Tolerance

One of the most useful ‘skills’ a caregiver can develop [and, in my experience, one of the hardest to learn and put in to practice] is tolerating the distress of our loved ones.

Distress tolerance is a person’s ability to manage actual or perceived emotional distress. It also involves being able to make it through an emotional incident without making it worse.

As caregivers/parents supporting someone with an ED, it can be almost impossible to watch them struggle and suffer. Our ‘love’ for them can lead us to back down/be inconsistent in our support and, as a result, we often end up enabling the ED and ED behaviours.

Or, under the onslaught of their emotional distress, we can become defensive, put up barriers and our loved ones believe we are angry at them or that they are unloveable. This can erode already fragile relationships even further.

This video is a must watch at any stage of the caregiving/support process.

Please note that I have added some additional resources in the comments section.

FEAST of Knowledge 2020 – 03 Lifting Up Siblings – What they Need Most

When we are in the thick of supporting a child with an ED, most of our attention is necessarily focused on them.

If we have other children as well, we can sometimes forget that they too are witnessing and experiencing the same emotional roller coaster that we are.

This video offers a good deal of insight in to the experience of non-ED siblings and I think is well worth the investment of time to watch.

The Eating Disorder Brain vs. The Well Brain | Effects of the Starving Brain and Eating Disorders

A very informative video on the cognitive impacts an eating disorder can cause. Brought to you by Jillian Walsh at “Change Creates Change“

What is the difference between an eating disorder and disordered eating?

Another great video from Jillian Walsh from “Change Creates Change”

Jillian discusses the difference between eating disorders and disordered eating. Eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, are formal diagnosis with specific criteria in the DSM-IV. If someone does not have a formal diagnosis, that does not mean their eating disorder is any less valid or real. So what is disordered eating? It may be distorted body image or poor self-esteem, or presence of food rules or skipping meals. If this is sounding a lot like dieting – you are absolutely right. Dieting can be a form of disordered eating.

STATE NOT WEIGHT C&M ED Productions for Prof. J. Treasure

As Brigitte has said: ”

I’m not a fan of the format of these videos but the topics they cover and the insight they offer are excellent.

This one covers the issue of ‘target’ weights.

It is my personal experience with my youngest child (RAN) that discussion/disclosure of her weight had negative consequences. When she reached the so-called ‘target’ weight (often the lowest weight deemed to be healthy by the doctors) there was no improvement in her mental state.

In my experience, and there is research based evidence to support this, it is important to keep pushing for an increase in weight until the ED behaviours lessen and you start to see your ‘real’ child emerge from the control of the ED.”
