I'm excited to see the study suggesting that specialised mealtime training is needed for EDU nurses. One very common complaint about treatment here is that a lot of the nurses say or do very unhelpful things during mealtimes, and I've seen some lose their tempers if someone is struggling.

I have to say, I think guilt is a rubbish motivator for change, and I'm not just thinking about people with anorexia either. Feeling guilty is common in people with BED, and that sort of intense guilt just perpetuates behaviours. I guess maybe non-pathological guilt is a good motivator for people with no history of mental illness, but who knows who is susceptible or not? And how would health professionals go about MAKING someone feel guilty about food?! Doesn't sound very ethical. Some of the ideas people have about challenging the "obesity epidemic" are very strange...

About Me

My photo
I'm a science writer, a jewelry design artist, a bookworm, a complete geek, and mom to a wonderful kitty. I am also recovering from a decade-plus battle with anorexia nervosa. I believe that complete recovery is possible, and that the first step along that path is full nutrition.
