Gratitude is a practice. I keep a gratitude journal on my desk & try to list three things I’m grateful for each day.

When I’m feeling low or sad, I open that little book and remember all the things I’m grateful for. ❤️

Our adolescent girls are suffering & eating disorders in teen girls have increased during this pandemic.

Before the pandemic, 5% of adolescent girls showed signs of an eating disorder (anorexia or bulimia). Recent reports suggest the number is higher, & the mean age of onset is now a young 12.5 years old.

Girls today have been raised in a culture that defines beauty as thinness. Recent troubles began during the pandemic when schools were locked down & activities suspended. This precipitated changes in routine, lack of social connections, heightened anxiety, & increase use of social media - their only outside connection.

More time on social media & the Internet allowed teen girls to compare their body image to thin peers & influencers online & to rely on superficial means of building self-esteem (“likes” &/or “comments” on a post).

The National Eating Disorders Association helpline has seen a 40% jump in overall calls since March 2020. Thirty-five percent of these calls were from teens 13 to 17 years old.

There are early signs to look out for in your teen:

🚩any sudden loss of weight (10 to 20 pounds)
🚩pretending to eat, by pushing food around on her plate
🚩skipping family meals, saying “I’m not hungry.”
🚩refusing to eat food from certain categories (like carbs)
🚩a new fixation on carefully counting calories
🚩a new obsession with exercising
🚩hoarding food (may be a sign of a binge eating)
🚩outwardly stating she "hates" her body image or weight
🚩self-induced vomiting, or laxative use
🚩eating past fullness

If you see disordered behaviors & your child is defensive when you bring up these concerns, your child may be dealing with an eating disorder. Please talk with your pediatrician & see my blog for more info.
