We here at MPA are happy for T&T on the news of their engagement, and wish the happy couple all the best.

Obviously, not all couples have access to the kind of resources available to these two. But every couple has the opportunity to build a strong foundation to their relationship. The experienced counselors at MPA, including Nikki Hawkins in Athens, and Patrick Tremaglio in Atlanta, can help guide couples to a deeper understanding of how they fit together while still being whole individuals.

WHAT DOES THE WEIGHT MAINTENANCE PHASE OF EATING DISORDER TREATMENT INVOLVE?

* When a healthy weight is achieved during the treatment for ED, a meal plan is usually adjusted to support weight maintenance.

* Nutritional needs and metabolic rate can be elevated for up to 12 months after refeeding so it is not fair to compare foods at this point.

* Body “tone” or muscle can now start to rebuild and many report weight redistribution within six months.

*Hunger cues may not be fully reliable so it is best to stick to a meal plan until an alternative is approved by a dietitian.

*The main goals of this stage are to reduce the intensity of response to fullness, perceived and actual weight gain, and concerns about hunger.

*Emotionally, it feels nice to return to a sense of “normalcy” with food but also it can feel like a loss of identity and takes time to redefine yourself.
