Eating distress, often referred to as eating disorders, occurs most often when an individual is feeling unable to cope with areas of their day-to-day life. This often begins when an individual is attempting to take control in one area of their life, whilst feeling they have lost all control in other areas.
This might mean limiting the amount of food eaten, eating very large quantities of food at once, getting rid of food eaten through unhealthy means, or a combination of these behaviours. It’s important to remember that eating distress/disorders are not all about food itself, but about feelings. The way the person interacts with food may make them feel more able to cope, or may make them feel in control.
