How to lose weight safely Comments Off on New year’s resolutions to lose weight could harm those with eating disorders – WIFR

ROCKFORD, Ill (WIFR) -- The new year means new resolutions. One of the most popular resolutions is to lose weight. While that mindset might work for some, others who struggle with eating disorders are at risk.

As gyms become packed and health sections at grocery stores are over stocked, those struggling with body-image are exposed to weight loss. Health professionals say it's important to change your mindset to become healthier in the new year, instead of lose weight.

"So whatever you can try to do to reframe your thoughts or say, no this is what's actually going to be better for me, and tell that eating disorder those thoughts," says Erika Oltmanns of Mercyhealth. "And try to rework more helpful positive thoughts, I think that's a really good tool."

She says it's also important to have a strong support system in the new year.
