Bulimia Treatment Centers in Roseville on Retaking Control


If you’re struggling with an eating disorder, it’s likely that you have allowed food to take on characteristics that it really doesn’t have. You’ve given it power over your decision making and therefore over your health and happiness.

The reason or reasons that you’ve done that are issues that you will address over time, but the fact that food has control over some areas of your life is something that you can begin dealing with today. At our bulimia recovery centers in California, we help those battling eating disorders put food in its place.

Retaking Control

Over months and years, and with repeated instances of food “winning” imaginary battles that you’ve had with it in your head, you begin to see it almost as a living thing — a force that has the power to control your life. It’s not alive or capable of dictating your actions, of course, but it becomes nearly impossible to convince yourself of that.

Self-Control Tips with Adolescent Binge Eating Disorder Treatment


It’s a skill that goes by many names — self-control, willpower, self-discipline — but whatever you call it, it’s the ability to decide which impulses you will act on and which you will resist. And the greater the temptation, the harder it is to maintain control. This skill is helpful in all areas of life, and it can be particularly useful in the struggle when receiving adolescent binge eating disorder treatment.

Growing Your Self-Control

In addition to its role in helping people recover from eating disorders, self-discipline has been shown to have other positive benefits. For example, children with more self-control tend to get higher grades, have more friends, and are less likely to take up smoking or binge drinking. So, everyone should practice these tips for increasing willpower:

Teen Eating Disorder Recovery Center Encourages Less Judging


People with eating disorders often feel that they are being judged by those around them. Whether it’s true or not, they believe people are evaluating their weight, their eating habits, etc. And often their response is to judge others in return. At our teen eating disorder recovery center, we encourage teens to break the cycle by not criticizing others, which helps them feel less criticized themselves.

Simply Experiencing Life

Judging others is a natural behavior. Instinctively we want to know if they are a threat to us or a potential friend or mate. Unfortunately, this behavior often takes a dark turn and we begin seeing danger where none exists, which in turn leads us to believe that others think the same of us.

California Eating Disorder Treatment Center Says Men Suffer Too


Although women and girls are more frequently affected by eating disorders, it is important to remember that men and boys suffer from the illness in all its forms as well. And in either gender, eating disorders are severe, life threatening conditions that generally require counseling and treatment to resolve. Consequently, family and friends should be on the lookout for signs of an eating disorder in the men and boys in their life.

Suffering in Silence

It’s difficult to know how prevalent these disorders are in men for two primary reasons. First, many of the assessments used to diagnose these conditions have a gender bias, having been defined for females, and tend to underscore males.

Roseville Anorexia Treatment Center Shares Benefits of Gratitude


When you are struggling with an eating disorder, it may seem like there is nothing to be grateful for. That feeling is understandable. However, when you start actively looking for reasons to be thankful, and begin to cultivate gratitude as a new mindset, it’s surprising what you find. In fact, researchers believe that while many emotions and personality traits have an impact on our sense of well-being, gratitude may be the single most important of them.

What is Gratitude and Why Does it Matter?

Wikipedia defines gratitude as “a feeling or attitude in acknowledgment of a benefit that one has received or will receive.” While it often takes a conscious effort to be grateful when you’re sad, angry, or frustrated, studies show it’s well worth the energy you put into it. Gratitude has been shown to:

Balance is Key Says Roseville CA Eating Disorder Treatment Center


It seems like our lives get busier with each passing year. Most people would agree that they are more overworked and stressed out than ever before. And for those who are struggling with an eating disorder, this stress only intensifies their pain and complicates their recovery.

In response, some people go to the other extreme. Rather than trying to keep up, they simply drop out. They quit their job, cut ties with family and friends, and just generally withdraw. This, of course, feels good initially as stress is eliminated, but it is just as damaging in the long run. At our eating disorder treatment center in Roseville, CA, we emphasize the need for balance.
