Thinking Big on Mother's DayThose with eating disorders know that holidays of any kind are a challenge, since it often means dealing with people -- and in particular, family. How do you honor Mom on Mother's Day in an authentic way? Chances are that there's a whole flurry of emotions that you have toward your mother, and possibly a number of them stemming from history of food issues. Often, you can tame the chaos by writing down what you're thinking and making it concrete. So I recommend writing Mom a letter -- a truthful one. That means acknowledging the good and the bad (and perhaps the very bad). But don't worry; there's no need to send the letter or give it your mom unless you want to. By understanding your relationship with Mom, you're already giving her a gift.
