39. 8 Tips for Easy and Fun Family Meals
Just remember that eating
together as a family is more than
just a meal; the goal
is to get everyone to the dinner
table and to spend quality time
together. Here are
some strategies that can help you
getting started eating together as
a family unit:
40. 1. Try to keep family meals fun. Include children in the meal
preparation and in the
decision about what foods will be offered for dinner. Children
feel important if
they contribute to family meals.
2. After-school activities have to be chosen carefully in order to
protect the
dinner routine for most days of the week. Make shared family
meals a priority.
3. Set specific mealtimes by writing them on the calendar and
let everyone in the
family knows when dinner is served and when they must be
home.
4. Be a good role model by eating healthy foods and proper
table manners
41. 5. Keep nutritious, wholesome foods
in the house.
6. Limit the availability of high-calorie,
high-sugar, high-fat foods
that have few
other nutrients.
7. Try to eliminate distractions, like
TV, telephone, and cell phones
during
mealtime.
8. Remember that it is never too
late to start a routine family dinner.
Just find an
appropriate time that works best for
your family.

43. anorexia
With this problem, the main thing is that someone becomes
very afraid of gaining weight and also thinks his or her body is
too fat (even if the person is thin). Some people just lose a lot of
weight by extreme dieting (not eating enough), and some also
might make themselves vomit after they eat.
People with anorexia also might be sad, angry, or depressed or
feel worried a lot of the time. It's important for someone with
anorexia to work with a doctor, therapist, and nutritionist, as
well as his or her family to get better.
44. bulimia
people who have bulimia nervosa will binge and purge. That
means they will binge (that is, eat a huge amount of food, like
a tub of ice cream, then a big bag of chips, then a box of
cookies in 2 hours or so), then purge (try to get rid of it by
vomiting or taking laxatives and exercising a lot to burn the
calories, usually in secret).
Kids who have bulimia might feel they can't get control over
what they eat or other things in their lives. Bingeing and
purging can be a way for them to have some control.
Kids sometimes develop bulimia when something new or
stressful enters their life, like a move to a new town or a
parents' divorce.
