So we all have our weird eating 'ish, right?

But what about when our daughters start eating in ways that seem, well, strange?

{Not the "I refuse to eat anything green" type strange.}

From my work with girls in eating disorder recovery and those teetering on the brink of a disorder, what I've noticed is that many of their disordered ways were there for a while but went, well, unchecked.

Why is that? How come eating disorder signs are missed?

Sometimes our daughter's strange new eating habits seem healthy or positive instead of troublesome or suspicious.

It makes perfect sense that disordered eating is TOUGH to pick up on! {Diet culture basically trains us to believe that some habits--like limiting, restricting, and cutting out--are a good idea.}

What's important to know is that young girls who time on social media are at an increased risk for developing an eating disorder. Young girls experiencing body changes associated with puberty are also at increased risk. In fact, just the mere fact of being a girl puts our daughters at risk.

How Can We Protect Our Girls From Eating 'Ish?

It's important to know what to watch out for so you can CATCH eating issues before they turn into eating problems.

To help you do this, I jumped on an IG LIVE to talk about EATING RED FLAGS to watch out for.

​Listen to Learn About Red Flags When It Comes to Girls' Eating​

IMPORTANT 👉🏼: If you notice any of these in your home, please don't panic. It's simply a sign that it's worth getting curious and asking about the changes you see. For example, if your daughter's weighing herself, cutting out a food group, or exercising often, ask her why she's doing it. If you sense that weight is at the core of her changes, it's time to get support as dieting is a leading risk factor for eating disorders.

(Warning: You might want to "listen" more than watch as I've got an awkward "the sun is in my eyes" face throughout this entire video. 👓 )

Prefer not to watch OR listen? Here's a quick list of what I covered:

Red flags to watch out for include:

• Cutting out entire food groups (say grains) or nutrients (such as fat or carbs)
• Expressing unhappiness with their body or weight (more than usual)
• Weighing themselves frequently or doing frequent body checks in the mirror
• Exercising more than usual
• Having strong rules about food (as in, I will only eat six almonds or fruit that is low in sugar)
