You may be really overwhelmed by all the moving parts, since you will be preparing up to three meals and three snacks a day. Make sure to list each meal or ingredient that you prepared, then check off whether or not your kid liked it (put up a fight?) and whether or not your kid finished it (needed liquid supplement?) Total up how many calories you think got into that kid’s belly in each day. Then at the end of the week, add up all seven days of calories and list that next to the amount of weight that was gained over that same period. I looked for a good format to use, but of course, what I found was that most of them are geared toward helping you LOSE weight. Attached is a simple outline that I created, please feel free to download and use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6087499cb4b77b424b33008b/1637543426479-BESIP86J3VWC0W466CUX/unsplash-image-i7oMgm2EWrE.jpg Home - REFEEDING TO GET “SOBER” If you are a caregiver for someone with anorexia, your job is to feed as many calories into that someone as possible. Your goal is to include fats, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals in every meal. You need to embrace all foods, from meats to dairy to sugar. A malnourished body requires so many building blocks to not only regain the needed pounds, but to keep those pounds on permanently and to support all the systems of the body. Until and unless an eating disorder patient has been weight restored, there exists very little clarity and strength of mind required to address the underlying psychological issues that drive disordered behavior. And this task is Herculean, complicated and seemingly endless. I explore this concept more tactically in chapters 5, 8 and 13. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615225337376-36JM1AX4C0NIC32WNXXU/Rectangle+26.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615225123989-3AGGEWNOKB8XK6YRH6A9/Rectangle+25.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615225350677-B3YBA0I530Q8W9125BX3/Rectangle+27.jpg Home https://www.scareddadfeeding.com/recipes daily 0.75 2021-11-22 https://www.scareddadfeeding.com/chapter1 daily 0.75 2021-11-21 https://www.scareddadfeeding.com/food-journal daily 0.75 2021-11-22 https://www.scareddadfeeding.com/request-speak daily 0.75 2021-11-21 https://www.scareddadfeeding.com/about-kevin daily 0.75 2022-11-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6087499cb4b77b424b33008b/74d87f38-4d6e-424a-ae4f-888ee65285f7/KevinPic.jpeg About Kevin - Kevin Olmsted Kevin Olmsted is a Cal grad who has lived in Danville for 14 years. He spent 23 years selling wine and is a Certified Sommelier. Kevin quit working at the beginning of 2020 to help his daughter full time with her recovery from anorexia. She was first diagnosed in July 2019, and after various attempts at treatment, Kevin and his wife, Christina, learned that the gold standard for eating disorder recovery is to do it at home. Now that his daughter is 42 months into recovery, Kevin wants to sound the alarm about how pervasive eating disorders are and how parents can recognize the signs that their children may be at risk. He also wants to be a resource for other parents who do not know where to turn in their time of crisis. “I was riveted by your sheer honesty in your journey through trauma, conflict, successes, failures, setbacks, victories and ultimate acceptance of all you’re experiencing. This was an unbelievably candid and RAW account of one family's journey to hell and back. I hope it will serve as a break-through guide for those just starting this maddening journey - I LOVE your honestly, profanity, grittiness and sheer dedication to the one common goal of ultimately killing “Edith”. The love and solidarity you and Tina have for each other, and your entire family is crystal clear. I can’t help but root for you through every harrowing detail of the book.” -Sandra K. https://www.scareddadfeeding.com/praise-for-the-scared-dad daily 0.75 2022-11-09 https://www.scareddadfeeding.com/contact-1 daily 0.75 2022-12-30 https://www.scareddadfeeding.com/our-team daily 0.75 2025-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cdb0b54755be25d5d92bfb3/1565794215685-BJXCGVHB9TOH4TC0O0ZS/justice-rising-ECHO-AND-EARL-7.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cdb0b54755be25d5d92bfb3/1626879431152-6K00Q8CX6KCWC8L06S85/download%2B%25281%2529.jpg Our Team
