Diagnosis: Inappropriate Diet and Eating Habits Evidences: Samantha reports a desire to lose baby fat Samantha reports dizziness Samantha reports wanting to look more athletic Samantha reports skipping lunch once or twice each week Model Rationale: Samantha’s desire to lose baby fat and appear more athletic, as well as her diet modifications, are clear indications that Samantha’s diagnosis pertains to Inappropriate Diet and Eating Habits. This subjective data, along with Samantha’s normal weight range and healthy BMI collected during physical examination, indicate that Samantha’s problematic behavior is not severe enough to meet the criteria of other eating-related diagnosis or disorders. Therefore, Inappropriate Diet and Eating Habits is the correct additional diagnosis at this time. American Psychiatric Association. (2017). Feeding and Eating Disorders.

Selected: Yes Learner Rationale:
Score: 1 out of 1 |

Selected: Yes Learner Rationale:
Score: 1 out of 1 |

Given Samantha’s poor body image, desire to lose weight, and her tendency to compare herself to her peers, it is critical she develop positive coping mechanisms to build a more neutral, if not positive, approach to her body. Coping mechanisms may include journaling, support group, relaxation and stress management, positive self-talk, and affirmations. Samantha’s diagnosis of Inappropriate Diet and Eating Habits requires a patient-centered empathetic approach.

Forcing yourself to diet or skip meals can make you very sick. Strong bones, hair, and teeth all require sufficient nutrition and calories. Eating well is important for development. You mentioned feeling self-conscious about not having your period yet, but you’re developing at a normal rate. Eating regularly will help you stay on track to develop properly, which includes getting your period. Also, you’re a soccer player — that requires a lot of energy and stamina. Eating plenty of food allows you to perform on the field and helps protect you from injury and overexertion. As an athlete, a student, and a young woman, having three meals of balanced food a day will help you achieve your goals. |

It’s critical you limit your exposure to media sources that promote diet culture, fad diets, weight loss, fitness goals, and idealized, unrealistic bodies. Instead of focusing on how you look in comparison to others, try to reframe those thoughts and remind yourself that your body isn’t a problem to be solved or punished.
