People with eating disorders should eat like they would on a normal day and not skip any meals. Make sure to eat breakfast, lunch, and a light snack in addition to the meal. People who starve themselves are more likely to skip out on the meal entirely or engage in binge eating.<\/p><p>- If family or friends know someone is struggling with an eating disorder, it's not a good idea to comment on their weight during a holiday gathering. Even a compliment can be taken the wrong way.<\/p><p>- If you're hosting a holiday gathering with plenty of food, don't take offense if someone doesn't eat.<\/p><p>- People with eating disorders should have a coping strategy if they begin to feel stressed during a gathering. Such tactics include deep breathing, meditation and talking to a close friend of family member.<\/p><div><p>Posted at <a href=\"http:\/\/casesblog.blogspot.com\/\">Clinical Cases and Images<\/a>.
