D went to the dr today. Several of them in fact. She had stated before today that if she weighed more than 130 she would stop eating entirely. She weighs 138. She lost 6 pounds. The psychologist gave a dx of eating disorder, monitor for developing restricting type anorexia. The psychiatrist recommended following up w a nutritionist before she develops full blown anorexia. The pediatrician reminded her that she is exactly where she needs to be on the growth curve, that her weight is proportionate to her height and that it would be unhealthy for her to lose weight. I'm not sure if she heard any of it. She did, however, eat after the appts so that is a plus.
1/3 of the cals she consumed today were at the open house for her art showing. Another 1/3 from the soda and crackers. She is a bit upset about that. We talked about her diet today and that if she were going to restrict her calories in a healthy manner that she should first attempt to cut out the empty calories like soda and cookies and other snack foods, that eating things that give her body nutrition is important, more important than the amount of calories she consumed. I fear that all she heard was how to cut out more calories.
She stated tonight that she is not sure how she is going to proceed, that she will probably continue to eat a little, but less than she has been recently, maybe only 1 or 2 bites at each meal w no snacks.
