Thank you so much for sharing your time and thoughts on the subject of eating disorders. My family has been devastated emotionally and financially by our daughter's eating disorder. Fortunately, we were able to find eating disorder specialists through IAEDP (International Assn of Eating Disorders Professionals Foundation). We found out the hard way that this disease must be managed by professionals who have experience and knowledge of eating disorders. My dtr. (17) has stopped all restrictive eating and compulsive exercise and has gained back all her weight plus an additional 20 pounds. She is 5'6" and went from 98 pounds at her lowest weight and now weighs 140 pounds. Although certainly not obese by the BMI charts, she looks heavy and has asked me, "Am I fat?" She binge eats late at night. How can we help without fixating on weight and food? Thank you very much, Anne
