Eating Disorders

Eating disorders have a lot more to do with control than with food.

• Do you feel fine one day, fat the next, despite knowing you can’t even gain 1 pound of fat in a day?

• Have the foods you will eat diminished down to 4-5 main foods?

• Are you feeling tired, cold and anxious all the time?

• Are you constantly comparing your body to others you are with?

• Do you want to feel “special” about something in your life and your thinness is how you are doing that?

• Is your eating the only thing you feel you can truly control in your life?

• Is this the main way you can get attention from your friends and parents?
