Trying new diet challenges with friends
Sometimes adults with eating disorders socialize their disorder. They do this by always wanting to “try” some new fad diet, and making it “fun” by bringing others on board. So one month they’re trying the Whole 30 diet with a group of friends, and the next month they’re cutting all sugar with another group of friends.
