It may seem like eating disorders are all about food. But the food itself isn’t the real problem. Disordered eating is a coping mechanism for stress or other unpleasant emotions. Learn healthier ways to cope with negative emotions and deal with life’s challenges. Here are a few suggestions to get you started:
- call a friend,
- listen to music,
- play with a pet,
- read a good book,
- take a walk,
- write in a journal,
- go to the movies,
- get out into nature,
- play a favourite game,
- do something helpful for someone else.
