Reaching out to a loved one about their eating disorder can be incredibly challenging.

Dianne Neumark-Sztainer, PhD, a leading researcher in the field of eating disorders, recommends the following considerations when approaching a loved one with concerns:

1. Prepare for the conversation

Increase your knowledge base about eating disorders (see resources we recommend through the link in bio).

2. Define your goal

Do you hope to open communication? Encourage them to seek treatment?

3. Choose a time and place

Picking a safe environment may help limit their defensiveness or distress.

4. Share what you have observed

Use “I” statements and stick to the facts of what you’ve witnessed.

5. Remain calm and patient

It is possible they will feel upset. Keep that first conversation short if it begins to develop into an argument.

6. Offer resources for professional help

If your loved one is a child or teen, you may insist on seeking professional help even if they oppose it. If they are an adult, show your support and offer to help them contact a professional for an evaluation.

You are not alone. If you suspect that you or a loved one may have an eating disorder, visit our website (link in bio) or call (585) 641-0281.

Many people with eating disorders also struggle with perfectionism, which can include being highly self-critical, striving to meet rigid standards, and feeling fearful of failure.

Perfectionism can be connected to overvaluation of weight and appearance and put individuals at increased risk for developing disordered eating patterns.

When we're feeling critical of ourselves, how can we show compassion and understanding instead?

Instead of...

Nothing I do is ever good enough

Try...

I don't need to be perfect to deserve love and compassion

Instead of...

If I don't do this perfectly, I may as well not do it at all.

Try...

I'm human- I'm going to make mistakes and that's okay.

Instead of...

I should be better by now, no excuses.

Try...

I'm allowed to have tough days, even in recovery.
