Battling Binge Eating? Amy Ornelas, RD on How Eating Disorder Dietitians Can Help
Grappling with binge eating in San Diego is so freaking hard. It consumes your waking thoughts and hijacks your brain. All you want to do is enjoy your life and see the amazing sights in San Diego and elsewhere, but you just can’t seem to turn off the obsessive thoughts, the constant urges, and the shame—and there can be so much shame. I have worked many years with San Diego eating disorder dietitian Amy Ornelas, RD. She is SO GIFTED at what she does—it’s like magic how she helps people recover from binge eating. Check out her approach to binge eating in this interview!
Why It's Awesome to Work with Eating Disorder Dietitians
Thought about seeing an eating disorder dietitian as part of your eating disorder recovery? Not quite sure how they might be helpful for you? Feeling nervous about meeting with someone to talk about food? Whether in San Diego or in other places, it can take a lot of courage to work with an eating disorder dietitian.
Perhaps you had bad experiences with dietitians or nutritionists in the past. Perhaps you feel scared that the person is just going to tell you what to eat without your input. Perhaps you’re worried that the person will put you on a meal plan or a diet that will feel uncomfortable. Perhaps you’re anxious that the dietitian will shame you for what you’re eating—or not eating.
I’ve interviewed top San Diego eating disorder dietitians for them to share WHY it makes a difference to work with one who is trained in eating disorders. These amazing women are not about shaming—they’re about educating, supporting, and empowering.
