Book Description
If your teenager shows signs of having an eating disorder, you may hope that, with the right mix of love, encouragement, and parental authority, he or she will just "snap out of it." If only it were that simple. To make matters worse, certain treatments assume you've somehow contributed to the problem and prohibit you from taking an active role. But as you watch your own teen struggle with a life-threatening illness, every fiber of your being tells you there must be some part you can play in restoring your child's health. In Help Your Teenager Beat an Eating Disorder, James Lock and Daniel Le Grange--two of the nation's top experts on the treatment of eating disorders--present compelling evidence that your involvement as a parent is critical. In fact, it may be the key to conquering your child's illness. Help Your Teenager Beat an Eating Disorder provides the tools you need to build a united family front that attacks the illness to ensure that your child develops nourishing eating habits and life-sustaining attitudes, day by day, meal by meal. Full recovery takes time, and relapse is common. But whether your child has already entered treatment or you're beginning to suspect there is a problem, the time to act is now. This book shows how.

Anorexia is an eating disorder characterized by compulsive, chronic self-starvation with a refusal to maintain a normal body weight. • What are the warning signs of anorexia? People who are anorexic deny ever feeling hungry. They diet and exercise excessively, feel bloated, fat, or nauseated from eating even small amounts of food; and they see themselves as fat when they are truly too thin. • What are some of the effects and symptoms of anorexia? • Damages the brain and nerves, causing disordered thinking, extreme forgetfulness, seizures, moodiness, irritability, and dizziness • Destroys their heart, kidneys, hair, blood fluid, intestines, muscles, joints, bones, hormones, teeth, and may even cause infertility. • Causes anxiety, depression, suicide, insomnia, and often causes those with anorexia to have a distorted view themselves (seeing themselves as fat even though they are "skin and bones") What is Bulimia? Bulimia is a psychological eating disorder characterized by repeated or sporadic "binge and purge" episodes. Bingeing involves eating large amounts of food in any setting in a short amount of time. Purging may be done by the intentional vomiting of food or by the use of laxatives and diuretics. • What are the warning signs of bulimia? People who are bulimic cope with emotional stress through overeating and then feel terrible afterward. They practice self-induced vomiting after eating. They often suffer from general depression; exercise excessively; and base self-worth on personal performance. • What are some of the effects and symptoms of bulimia? • Damages kidney, brain, lungs, and other vital organs. • Deteriorates teeth, esophagus, and stomach due to purging. Acid from stomach destroys teeth and causes gum disease, sores in the mouth, bleeding of the esophagus, and pancreatitis caused by repeated stomach trauma. • Causes heart failure (mortality rate from 5% to 15% of bulimics due to cardiac arrest) What you need to know about those suffering from an eating disorder... Those with eating disorders experience... • A strong desire to feel in control (especially when nothing else in life makes sense) • "Eating is the one part of my life I can control." • Loneliness because of the desire to avoid discovery • "I just cannot talk to anyone about this problem." • Low self-worth because personal value is based on appearance • "I'm a fat pig. I don't deserve to live. I don't deserve any help! I am a bad person." • Depression over feeling "fat," (although weight is normal or far below—even to the point of looking like "skin and bones") Steps to a Solution: How can someone overcome an eating disorder? Here are just a few steps someone can take to start their journey toward healing. • Recognize that you have an eating disorder and acknowledge your need • Share your struggle with a trusted friend and consider getting professional help • Evaluate past events that still impact your life today and influence your decision making • Avoid your destructive patterns and devise a plan of action to overcome unexpected temptations to skip a meal or to binge/purge • Flee your enticing triggers and commit to distract yourself whenever you suddenly feel compelled to "act out" with food This books gives practical insight on HOW to apply each of these principles to their lives. You (and those you help) can be an overcomer as you discover your incredible worth through God's eyes. His love will satisfy your starving soul, and His truth will help align your thinking with God's thinking. "The Lord doesn't see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." (1 Samuel 16:7)

Book Description
Over the past fifteen years, there has been a great increase in the knowledge of eating disorders in sport and effective means of treatment. In this book, the authors draw on their extensive clinical experience to discuss how to identify, manage, treat, and prevent eating disorders in sport participants. They begin by examining the clinical conditions related to eating problems, including descriptions of specific disorders and a review of the relevant literature. Special attention is given to the specific gender and sport-related factors that can negatively influence the eating habits of athletes. The second half of the book discusses identification of participants with disordered eating by reviewing symptoms and how they manifest in sport; management issues for sport personnel, coaches, athletic trainers, and healthcare professionals; treatment; and medical considerations, such as the use of psychotropic medications. A list of useful resources is included in an appendix, as well as a glossary of important terms.
