This time of year can be challenging for people who struggle with eating disorders.  Dr. Stephanie Setliff, Medical Director at Eating Recovery Center of Dallas says people should choose a go-to person to help them if they need a break from food-related activities.  She also suggests people face the food issue by setting times to eat and portions.  Another big tip is taking the focus off the food and find a family-based activity.
