Do You Have an Eating Disorder?

Early Warning Signs:
If your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, or actions with regard to your food, weight, exercise or body image interfere with the quality of life, emotional well being, and/or physical wellness, you may have an eating disorder. Essentially, when your relationship with your weight and body interfere with you being able to be yourself, when your thoughts become obsessive and debilitating, it may be time to seek professional help.

Anorexia
A self-starvation and excessive weight loss due to an intense fear of fatness and an unrelenting pursuit of thinness.

Bulimia
A secretive cycle of binge eating followed by some form of self-inducing purging, including overexercising.

Binge Eating Disorder
A destructive cycle of impulsive gorging, grazing, bingeing and/or continuous eating, not in response to physical hunger. It is accompanied by a sense of lack of control and often guilt with shame. Eating is driven by emotions rather than hunger and is used as a way of coping and soothing ones self.

Eating Disorders Not Otherwise Specified (EDNOS)
Can include a combination of the signs and symptoms of anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder that ultimately takes up a disproportionate space in your head while stealing time and aliveness from your life.
