My thoughts as our family battles anorexia with our 11-year old son.

Supersize Me!
Just found out that N was shown "Supersize Me" in his Foods class. I'm dumbfounded. I just can't believe it. How did this get past me, his teacher and/or N? Not sure what to do with this information. N seems fine about it -- but is he really?
maybe you should talk to the teacher, to let them know that you're not happy with this so they don't make similar mistakes in the future. also, talk to N about it in a non-threatening way. you need to know how this impacted him, because it probably did..there was a thing about the guy using a vegan diet to lose the weight as well.
maybe you should talk to his teacher, to let him know you were unhappy with this so similar mistakes were not made in the future. personally, i think foods is a danger zone altogether. i did foods when i had an eating disorder, and it just fueled it. also talk to N, in a non-threatening way about it, encouraging him to be honest about how it affected him, because it probably did. there was also a thing at the end about how the guy used a vegan diet to lose the weight..
Our 11-year old son dropped 20 pounds in just two months. That was the beginning of an unexpected, difficult and emotional journey for our family. At the four month mark he stopped losing weight -- but continues his obsession with food and body image.
If you are the parent or care-giver of a child with anorexia, I'd be happy to answer any questions. You can contact me at nourishingmyson (at) gmail (dot) com.
