Christmas is a great time for families but if someone in yours has an eating disorder, Christmas can be a challenge.

Mel Flint, who runs the local support group PAUSE for the carers of people with an eating disorder, talks to Mike Waddington about how to plan to take food off its pedestal and having a happy Christmas with and for the whole family.

She told us that it is important, especially when someone is in recovery and coping with the changes that brings, that the person knows they are loved and they are safe.
