Our founder at The Eating Disorder Center, and an eating disorder therapist in Rockville, Maryland Jennifer Rollin, MSW, LCSW-C was recently featured by CNN in an article titled, “Food as fuel might not be the healthiest approach, experts say.” Topics such as emotional eating, binge eating, and how to start having a healthier relationship to food are discussed.

The purpose of the article was for professionals to discuss some factors that challenge the perspective of the “food is fuel” idea. We can acknowledge that food does fuel our bodies which is important, however, oftentimes our relationship between our bodies and food is much more than that. Jennifer Rollin, MSW, LCSW-C discusses how food can have an emotional component and how it can be used for other things such as socialization, coping with distressing experiences, etc. We shouldn’t shame ourselves for eating out of emotion or experiencing different emotions while eating. 

 Jennifer Rollin, MSW, LCSW-C also discusses symptoms of binge eating and how that can sometimes be related to emotional eating. We all experience emotions when we eat, but if you are feeling out of control or eating is your main coping tool, it may be something to work on with a therapist.
