I'm Diane, a registered nurse in Portland, Oregon. One crisp Sunday morning in early fall, I was reviewing FamiSafe's weekly report, coffee in hand, when something made my stomach drop. My 15-year-old daughter Chloe had been searching "how to lose 10 pounds in a week," "are diet pills safe," and "does fasting work fast." As a healthcare worker, alarm bells went off immediately. I looked up from my phone and watched Chloe push her pancakes around her plate, barely eating. She was wearing an oversized hoodie—again. That's when I knew something was seriously wrong.

Catching the early signs of body anxiety before they became a crisis
Our Family's Struggle
Challenge
I didn't confront Chloe right away. I watched. For three days, I noticed everything. Tiny dinner portions. Sneaking upstairs to exercise in her room at night. Baggy clothes to hide her body. She'd just started high school, and the pressure to fit in was crushing her. One night, I stood outside her bedroom door and heard her crying softly. My heart broke. I work in healthcare—I've seen teenage girls hospitalized with eating disorders. I've watched families fall apart because they missed the warning signs. But here I was, almost missing them with my own daughter. I couldn't let her spiral. I had to act, but carefully. One wrong word could push her further away.
Solution
I'd been using FamiSafe for a few months to monitor screen time, but that weekly report saved us. I took Chloe to her favorite coffee shop that Saturday. No judgment, just us. "Chloe, I need to talk to you about something important," I said. She looked terrified. I told her about the patients I'd seen—young women whose bodies never fully recovered from extreme dieting. She cried. "Mom, everyone at school is so skinny. I feel huge." I held her hand. "You're perfect, and we're going to prove it together." I used FamiSafe to block pro-ana websites and extreme diet content. We saw a nutritionist and a therapist. Three months later, Chloe joined the volleyball team. Now we cook healthy meals together, and she smiles again.
