    People with eating disorders often feel angry but do not express it in healthy ways, instead turning it against themselves through starving or overeating. Family factors can also contribute, as some people with eating disorders feel smothered in overprotective families or abandoned in families that are misunderstanding and alone. These families tend to be overprotective, rigid with high expectations of success, yet ineffective at resolving conflict, with parents who are emotionally distant or make critical comments about their children's bodies, leading children to try to solve problems through manipulating food and weight instead of openly sharing feelings.

    Eating disorders

    People with eating disorders often are


    legitimately angry, but because they seek approval and fear
    criticism,
    they do not know how to express their anger in healthy ways.
    They turn it against themselves by starving or stuffing.

    Family factors
    Some people with eating disorders say they
    feel smothered in overprotective families. Others

    feel

    abandoned,
    misunderstood, and alone. Parents who overvalue physical
    appearance
    can unwittingly contribute to an eating disorder. So can those
    who make critical comments, even in jest, about their childrens
    bodies.
    These families tend to be overprotective,
    rigid, and ineffective at resolving conflict. Sometimes mothers
    are emotionally cool while fathers are physically or emotionally
    absent. At the same time, there are high expectations of
    achievement
    and success. Children learn not to disclose doubts, fears,
    anxieties,
    and imperfections. Instead they try to solve their problems by
    manipulating weight and food.
