  • Discussion: Childhood and Disordered Eating

    19th May 2010 - By Elisabeth from Letters To My Body.com

    For today’s reader contribution post, we’re taking a break from the standard “Dear Body” letter format. I received a beautiful letter some time ago, and in the subject line, it said “Letter To My Daughter”. I immediately got chills. One of the things that I worry about in my own life is the impact my history of disordered eating could have on the life of any daughter(s) that I may have in the future.

    I don’t blame my eating disorder on my mother or my family, per se, but sometimes I think of my eating disorder as “the perfect storm”. Every person is different, but for me, a combination of childhood events all culminated into a perfect disordered eating storm.

    What about you…

    1) Do you feel that your mother’s view of herself shaped how you learned to view yourself?
    2) Did events in your childhood contribute to the development of your disordered eating?
    3) Do you feel like some of us are just predisposed to develop an eating disorder?
